My 1979

Li Long came here early in the morning and was very diligent. He filled the water tank at home, shoveled the snow in the yard, and flushed the mud on the red brick floor with water.

Seeing Li He get up, he enthusiastically helped him get hot water to wash his face.

Li He felt something was wrong and asked directly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Long squirmed, as if embarrassed to say, "It's okay, it's okay."

"You really don't want to tell me? I'm giving you a chance."

Li Long chuckled and said, "I want to buy a TV."

Huo Yuanjia has started to be broadcast on TV these days, and Li Long and Da Zhuang go to the public house every day after dinner to pay and watch TV.

After the reform and opening up, not only American blockbusters became popular, but some Hong Kong films were also gradually introduced to the mainland.

It started with "The Love of the Earth" playing. Rich people with TVs would have their homes crowded with neighbors watching TV every night. If you could sing Guan Zhengjie's theme song, you might be able to captivate everyone.

In 1983, "Fearless" began to be broadcast on the eastern Guangdong TV station, and it set off a wave of climax mainly in the south. Later, it gradually spread to the central and western regions, and singing Cantonese songs also became fashionable.

Many people have always thought that Huo Yuanjia is from eastern Guangdong when watching the TV series "Fearless". Maybe it is because the TV series was filmed by Hong Kong people and all the words in it are Cantonese. In fact, he is a serious Tianjin person.

Li He smiled and said, "You just go and buy it, no one will stop you. But if you buy it, put it where you are. You are not allowed to put it here. It will affect the study of her sisters."

Children are not satisfied with new things, which is the same as the later concern about Internet addiction. Watching TV is also addictive.

The most important thing is that this thing will make too much noise after you buy it, so you don’t have to think about peace and quiet at home. At night, the neighbors will be sure to surround you. If he hadn't considered these things, Li He would have bought it long ago, why would he have to wait for Li Long to speak.

"I don't have a ticket. If I had a ticket, wouldn't I have bought it a long time ago." Li Long knew that he couldn't get a TV ticket.

Li He thought, are they looking for Bian Mei or He Jun again? He doesn't want to look for her anymore. How can a favor be used like this? It won't take long for her to be deeply in love.

"You and Da Zhuang go to the county seat to see if there is anyone scalping votes. Don't look for Bian Mei."

"Vote scalping?" Li Long obviously didn't understand the meaning of this word.

Li He couldn't explain it to him. He expected them to look for it, and the whole world would probably know about it, so he had to take action in person, saying, "I will take you to the county town early tomorrow morning. But you have to think clearly, if you buy it back , at night, the yard is full of people, can you believe it? Aren’t you afraid of disturbing the sleep of the two children? "

Li Long said, "Don't be afraid, I'll just leave it in the yard."

Li He took Li Long and Dazhuang to the county seat.

It's easiest to find ticket scalpers. At the door of a department store, there are always one or two people poking around to inquire.

Li He didn't say much in the past. He asked for a ticket and went into a department store to spend 430 yuan on a Kaifeng brand 14-inch black and white video camera made in the Netherlands. Of course, the loud ones were the Jinxing, Feiyue and Veuve Clicquot made in Shanghai. Basically all provinces produce black and white TV sets, with hundreds of brands, mostly 12-inch TVs, and the supply still exceeds demand.

The louder the brand, the more expensive it is, which is much more expensive than an ordinary black and white machine.

There are also some imported ones. In the 1970s, Hungarian ones were the best-selling ones. After the early 1980s, the Little Devils ones were the best-selling ones. For example, Hungarian 24-inch Super Star TVs. TV sets in Eastern Europe are all big. As long as you see Those above 20 inches are basically from Eastern Europe, such as Poland's 625 and Romania's 244. Panasonic and South Korea's Goldstar, etc., are generally 12 inches, and some are purely imported and modified.

As long as it is imported, the price is two to three thousand yuan.

It's still out of stock. If you take the well above your head as the sky, you will feel incredible.

The TV was tied to the back seat of the bicycle with a rope. Li Long was afraid of losing it during the bumpy ride, so he wrapped it layer by layer in fine sacks like a treasure.

As expected by Li He, before he could install the TV antenna when he got home, there was already a crowd of people outside Li Long's house, all watching the excitement.

Some climbed to the roof and erected bamboo poles to set up fishbone antennas, while others helped pull wires.

Li He was transferred back and forth, but there were only two channels, one was CCTV and the other was Netherlands Channel, but none of the stations in the province could be found.

In the evening, most people hadn't had dinner yet, but it was even more lively. Children were not afraid of the cold, so they moved a small stool and a long bench for adults, with three levels inside and three outside.

Li Long was dumbfounded. The situation was completely different from what he expected. They were all from the countryside, and he was too embarrassed to let them go. .

There were people around the kitchen corner, and Duan Mei said, "How do you want to cook?"

Li Long scratched his head and said, "Let's go, take the child and go to Grandma's place to eat."

Wang Yulan walked around Li Long's house, it was a mess, and she was a little annoyed that her two sons had taken matters into their own hands.

Li Zhaokun was very happy. He felt that he had a sense of existence. He happily accepted other people's cigarettes and watched TV secondly. The main reason was to brag and spank.

Looking at the crowds of people, he even wanted to sell TV tickets and make a lot of money in one night.

Li Long refused without thinking, "How embarrassing."

Li Zhaokun finally gave up and gave up the idea.

The fourth and fifth children also like to watch TV. Because they are family members, they can sit in the front row and avoid the cold. They have to wait until there is no one on the TV every night and snowflakes cover the entire screen. return.

CCTV is broadcasting "Ximaguanqian", which is a theme film about reform and opening up. It tells the story of a business leader's determination to carry out the four modernizations, which is somewhat interesting.

The Dutch station aired a documentary about Comrade An Chang'e, director of the Institute of Chemical Engineering and senior engineer, who made outstanding achievements in chemical research and demonstrated hard work.

It is said to be a boring movie, but a group of people in the yard still watched it with gusto.

Before Li He could think of a way to deal with this overwhelming crowd, Chen Yongqiang and Li Hui took Da Zhuang into the county town, and they still found scalpers, and they became the second and third households in the village with TV sets.

Li Long finally breathed a sigh of relief, and most of the people in the yard suddenly disappeared.

After dinner, the fourth child wanted to take the fifth child to watch TV as usual. Li He stopped the two of them and said, "You two have no homework, right? You are not allowed to go. Just do your homework in peace."

The two of them were stopped, and they were a little unhappy. They must have been unwilling to do so. The fourth child said, "It's not you who said you should have both study and entertainment."

"Then I don't let you go to entertainment every day. Are you looking for excuses to take care of your third sister-in-law's children during the day? You two spent the whole day playing with each other in front of the TV. Don't think I don't know."

The fourth child suddenly lost his excuse and said, "Then I won't watch it during the day, but can I watch it at night?"

"Okay, you can only watch it for one hour from now on."

"Two hours." Lao Wu has no concept of time. He just thinks that two is better than one.

Li He didn't object anymore. Even adults couldn't control their expectations for the TV series, let alone children.
