Their foster father sat on a lounge chair, watching television.
The TV was still black and white, changing channels and adjusting the volume had to be done manually, with no remote control.
As soon as Li Feipeng entered, Li's father said, "Apeng, help me change the channel, I want to watch K City Satellite TV. Ah, it's getting dark early these days."
Li Feipeng walked over to the television, clicking through the channels with a twist of a knob.
Li Feixi said with a bit of speechlessness, "Aren't you going to change the channels, dad? If we're not home, do you just watch the same channel the whole time?"
Watching TV is enjoyable, but changing channels seems to be too much effort for everyone.
Li's father replied, "I knew you wouldn't be back too late, so I couldn't be bothered to change channels."
After Li Feipeng changed the channel, he walked to the bedroom.
"There's soup, aren't you going to drink some?" his father called out.
