Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

Time flies, and the spring breeze of reform has pushed the course of history forward for another year.

In the autumn of 1982, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were both admitted to No. 1 Middle School. For this, Song Ying worshipped all the gods, whether they were Buddhas or Taoists, and finally got what she wanted.

Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan entered the senior high school graduating class, and their studies became more arduous. According to the document issued by Zhuang Chaoying from the Education Bureau, next autumn, after Qin Hao's class, the junior high school and high school system will be changed to three years. If this class fails to get into college, they will have to go to the third year of high school for another year, and the content will also change dramatically.

Fortunately, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan's academic performance has always been among the best. To be precise, Qin Hao has always performed very stably and has always been the first in the grade. Zhuang Tunan is not so stable, hovering in the top 20 of the grade. If he performs well, he can enter the top five, and if he performs poorly, he will fall outside the top 30.

Every time Zhuang Tunan's monthly exam results came out, Huang Ling was more nervous than her son. Zhuang Chaoying had rich experience in education and knew that this was normal. He could only comfort his wife, saying that No. 1 Middle School was a provincial key school and the top 30 students could basically get into a good university, so there was no need to worry too much.

In winter, a big event happened in the cotton mill family alley. Li Yiming opened a small shop at the entrance of the alley, and the neighbors came to watch the excitement.

Song Ying and Huang Ling were surprised to see that a telephone was installed in the shop. You know, it was very expensive to install a telephone in 1982. The installation fee alone was 3,600 yuan. An ordinary worker only earned 60 yuan a month, and it would take 60 months without food or drink. In addition, it would cost 700 yuan for the telephone machine to ask the post office to pull the line. This amounted to more than 4,000 yuan.

"It seems that setting up a stall can make a lot of money." Song Ying said with emotion. Before, she said that she didn't envy the self-employed for making a lot of money, but now she was slapped in the face.

Huang Ling was also amazed: "Aunt Li never mentioned Yiming's stall before, and she said in the workshop yesterday that self-employed people may not be inferior to iron rice bowls. Now he is completely proud of himself."

Zhuang Chaoying lowered his voice and said: "Answering the phone costs 10 cents, and making calls within the city costs 6 cents per minute. Long-distance calls are more expensive. His house is in a good location and there is a lot of traffic at the alley. He can make back the money in a year or two."

"Answering the phone, making calls, and buying some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar by the way, this business will definitely make money. Yiming is smart." Lin Wufeng was sincerely happy for Li Yiming.

Lin Dongzhe pulled Qin Hao to the snack area of ​​the grocery store and looked at Qin Hao eagerly: "Brother Hao, I want to eat rainbow candy."

Rainbow candy is also called sticky candy. It is long and thin, and costs 1 cent for ten pieces. This thing is actually not very delicious and sticks to the teeth, but for foodie Lin Dongzhe, he likes anything as long as it is candy.

"You look like rainbow candy to me."

It's not that Qin Hao is stingy, but this guy has become a little fat after eating candy for a long time. If he continues like this, the cotton mill dance king will disappear from the world, so Qin Hao and Song Ying have teamed up to control his sugar intake recently.

Lin Dongzhe saw that acting cute didn't work and could only turn his head to look at Song Ying and Lin Wufeng, but the latter two ignored his pitiful eyes.

Zhuang Xiaoting couldn't bear it, so she took out a piece of White Rabbit from her pocket and handed it to Lin Dongzhe reluctantly.

"Zhuang Xiaoting, you are my goddess!"

"Lin Dongzhe, what nonsense are you talking about."

Zhuang Xiaoting ran away with a red face. Girls develop earlier than boys both psychologically and physically.

"Zhuang Xiaoting, why are you running away? It's inexplicable." Lin Dongzhe muttered while sucking on the White Rabbit candy in his mouth.

Qin Hao was amused. Lin Dongzhe had learned the English word "goddess" from a magazine and wanted to show off. Unfortunately, Zhuang Xiaoting had also read the magazine. It was a story about love.

Li Yiming's family was very happy at the end of the alley, but Wang Yong's family at the end of the alley was in turmoil.

Wang Yong's sister came back. When the policy of going to the countryside was implemented, anyone who didn't have a job in the city had to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Wang Yong took over his father's job and stayed in Suzhou, while his sister Wang Fang went to Xinjiang. The conditions in Xinjiang in the 1970s and 1980s were difficult.

Wang Fang married an educated youth from Shanghai in Xinjiang and gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Qing. In the past two years, she heard that the policy had been relaxed, so she "escaped" from Xinjiang. As a result, Wang Fang's husband's family was not in good condition. The whole family squeezed into an old house of 20 square meters, and Wang Fang's family of three could not fit in.

Moreover, Wang Fang's husband's family did not welcome them. After all, three more people meant three more mouths to feed. In this era of material scarcity, everyone had to focus on their own family first.

So Wang Fang's husband had to stay in Shanghai as an "illegal resident", while Wang Fang returned to Suzhou to live with her parents.

As a result, Wang Yong not only abused his sister, but also threw out their luggage and cursed her.

What "Xiao Xinjiang", "barbarian", "country bumpkin", the old couple of the Wang family did not dare to offend their son, and could only stand in the yard and watch their son scold their daughter.

It lasted until the evening, and Wang Fang insisted on staying, and even used a knife to cut her wrist. Seeing that someone was about to die, the neighbors hurried to call for help. Since Wang Fang was not an employee of the cotton mill, the cotton mill could not come forward, so they had to call the Youth Educated Office.

In front of the Youth Educated Office and the leaders of the Street Office, Wang Yong's attitude softened a little, but he still did not agree to let Wang Fang and Zhou Qing stay, so it lasted until the evening.

Song Ying and Huang Ling felt sorry for Zhou Qing, so they asked Zhuang Tunan and Qin Hao to bring her some food.

The little girl's face was full of confusion and panic. Faced with the sudden kindness, she was stunned for a moment.

"Eat it, this pork ribs noodles are delicious." Lin Dongzhe said while swallowing his saliva.

Zhou Qing then started to eat hungrily, and while he was eating, Wu Shanshan also brought two boiled eggs from home.

No one spoke at all, and the only sound in the alley was the sound of Zhou Qing wolfing down noodles.

On the way back, Zhuang Tunan suddenly said: "Why would a good family become like this?"

Qin Hao paused: "In your opinion, as long as Wang Yong is more generous and takes in Wang Fang and Zhou Qing, we can live a harmonious and beautiful life like this?"

"Isn't it?" Zhuang Tunan looked confused.

Qin Hao was speechless for a while: "Do you know how much a pound of cabbage costs? A bottle of soy sauce, a bag of salt, how much food does a person need to eat in a month?"

"You don't know this. Zhuang Tunan, you have been protected so well by Aunt Huang since you were a child. You don't have to do anything. You just need to study hard and you can get everything. So in your opinion, everything in this world is so beautiful. ”

"The fact is that Aunt Huang works three shifts and works eight hours a day. Except for half an hour for eating, she spends the other seven and a half hours running continuously. The looms are non-stop and dozens of machines need to be operated by her alone. The roar of the machine made her eardrums hurt, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on. It was hard for her to hear what others were saying for at least an hour every day when she got home from get off work. "

"Aunt Huang's salary is only more than 60 yuan a month. Occasionally, she can earn more than 70 yuan for overtime work. More than half of it goes into your stomach. You eat nearly 40 kilograms of grain a month, but your ration is only 15 kilograms. Jin, the rest of the food stamps were bought by Aunt Huang.”

"Zhuang Tunan, your family is a dual-income family, and life is pretty easy. Wang Yong is the only one who works in the cotton mill. It is already the limit to support a family. Wang Fang has no job when she comes back. She also has a child. If she lives in All the expenses will be borne by Wang Yong.”

"This is not a problem that can be solved by eating less. It is a problem of whether Wang Yong and his family can survive if Wang Fang and Zhou Qing stay."

“No matter how harsh Wang Yong’s scolding was, no neighbor would stop him, because without understanding the truth of the matter, those who advise others to be generous will easily be struck by lightning.”

Zhuang Tunan wanted to interrupt several times during the process, but Qin Hao's questions had torn his worldview into holes.

Qin Hao ignored Zhuang Tunan who was standing in the small courtyard, took the bowl to the kitchen and washed it before going to watch TV.

After a long time, Huang Ling saw that Zhuang Tunan hadn't come back for a long time. She was about to go out to look for him, but she saw her son standing blankly in the yard.

"Tunan, what's wrong?"

Zhuang Tunan asked in a low voice: "Mom, how much does a pound of cabbage cost?"

"One penny per pound, what's wrong?" Huang Ling was a little confused.

"Mom, if you want to buy something in the future, let me go."

"Huh? Oh."

Huang Ling thought Zhuang Tunan didn't have enough pocket money and wanted to earn some money for running errands, but she didn't take it seriously.

Autumn turned to winter, and the New Year was approaching. The roar of firecrackers in the alleys suppressed the noise, and the Spring Festival of 1983 also arrived as promised.

Song Ying gave Qin Hao a five-dollar red envelope: "Haozi, I wish you good luck in the new year and academic progress."

"Thank you Aunt Song, and I wish you will always be young and beautiful." Qin Hao took the red envelope with a smile.

Lin Wufeng whispered to Song Ying: "Haozi is already number one in the grade. If you let him improve, how can other students survive?"

"Yeah, keep it, just keep it." Song Ying lowered her psychological expectations.

As for Lin Dongzhe, he also received a five-yuan red envelope, and Song Ying congratulated him on the New Year.

"Eat less and stop growing sideways."

As a result, Lin Dongzhe took the red envelope and took Zhuang Xiaoting to Li Yiming's small shop to buy snacks.

On New Year's Eve, after the New Year's Eve dinner, the four members of the Zhuang family gathered at Song Ying's house. Even Zhuang Tunan, who has always been hardworking, was no exception. Because CCTV had warmed up before, there would be a live broadcast of a literary evening tonight, and you can also call and order it. It is said that the most requested programs will be broadcast on TV, and the format of the program is very novel.

This Spring Festival Gala was indeed unique. Zhao Zhongxiang gave the opening speech, and Mr. Hou Baolin, the master of cross talk, also appeared on the TV screen. Unfortunately, there was no cross talk performance.

Li Guyi's singing reached thousands of households through television, so that early the next morning, men and women in the streets and alleys were humming: Your figure, your singing...

Unfortunately, Huang Ling's good mood only lasted for less than a week. One night, Zhuang Chaoying came back and told Huang Ling that Xiang Pengfei had received the quota to return to the city, and his sister Zhuang Hualin would soon take Xiang Pengfei back to Suzhou. .

Huang Ling waited quietly for Zhuang Chaoying's next words. Being stared at by Huang Ling, Zhuang Chaoying felt guilty, but she could only bite the bullet and speak.

"What my parents want is for Pengfei to come live in our house and have a companion with Tunan..."

Before she finished speaking, Huang Ling sneered: "I just said it's not that simple."

"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Chaoying said angrily: "Pengfei is my nephew, so what if I take care of him?"

Huang Ling said with a smile: "Only the eldest uncle is an uncle, so the second uncle is not an uncle?"

"We can't live in Qimei's house."

"The second child's three rooms can't accommodate six people, but our two rooms can accommodate four people? Don't forget that Xiao Ting has been living in a cubicle for so many years."

Zhuang Chaoying knew he was in the wrong: "Let's go to bed first. My parents and Hualin will come over on Sunday, and we'll discuss it later."

Huang Ling turned her back and tears came down at that moment, but she still gritted her teeth and held back her tears. She knew that her weakness could not win her husband's sympathy, and it would affect the children's rest.

When she came back from get off work the next day, Huang Ling was really depressed and could only talk to Song Ying, who was so upset.

"Is Teacher Zhuang crazy? Tunan is about to face the college entrance examination. Let his nephew live in at this critical moment. What if it affects Tunan's grades?"

Huang Ling's tears fell at this time: "He has always been like this. In his heart, I, Tunan, and Xiaoting are not as important as a hair of his parents and siblings."

"Then... Sister Ling, what are you going to do?"

"For Tunan and Xiaoting, even if it means divorce, I will not compromise."

Song Ying decided immediately after hearing this that the whole family would not go anywhere on Sunday and would stay at home to support Huang Ling at any time.

"Haozi, tomorrow it's all up to you."

Song Ying could see that Qin Hao had much more experience in fighting than she did, and she still had to rely on Qin Hao at the critical moment.

"Don't worry, Aunt Huang usually takes care of me so much. If Uncle Zhuang goes too far, I won't give him face."

Song Ying's expression froze: "Ahem, that... or else we should give Teacher Zhuang some face."

Having seen the power of Qin Hao's full firepower, Song Ying was really a little afraid of making Zhuang Chaoying angry. If the couple divorced, it would be bad.

"Aunt Song, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. If you are soft-hearted before the battle begins, you will definitely lose." Qin Hao said seriously.

Song Ying was shocked: "Why is it related to the art of war?"

"It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, so the more family affairs there are, the more courage you have to dare to overturn the table, otherwise it will be a mess. I have experience in this, Aunt Song, don't worry." Qin Hao patted his chest and said.

When Song Ying thought of the fate of Qin Jianjun and his wife, she somewhat regretted letting Qin Hao get involved, but she absolutely could not let her watch Huang Ling being bullied.

Huang Ling next door was still in a cold war with Zhuang Chaoying. She had not said a word to her husband in the past two days.

On the other side, the old couple of the Zhuang family were also discussing how to deal with the eldest couple tomorrow.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.
