My 1979

Chapter 70 Happy for nothing

When he got up in the morning, Li He bought groceries, then went to the post office's books and periodicals sales department and picked up two newspapers.

One People's Daily and one Xinhua Daily focused on China's victory over the RB team in the World Cup Asian qualifiers.

At this time, the newspaper only had 4 pages. Being able to devote one page to highlight the introduction shows that the Chinese people are very excited about returning to the world sports arena.

Regarding the 1982 World Cup, everyone mentioned it during the banquet and dinner afterwards. This game was the first tuition fee paid to football by the Chinese, and it was also the first game that most Chinese people watched. It ended in regret. .

The AFC cheats people without negotiation and the schedule is extremely unreasonable. After the Chinese team has played all the games, the New Zealand team has two games left to play, namely against Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. When New Zealand played Kuwait, Kuwait had already advanced. Qualified, but fortunately the two sides tied, otherwise Saudi Arabia would only let one player out in the last game, and China would not even qualify for the play-offs.

Sure enough, Saudi Arabia deliberately lost to New Zealand and joined forces to defeat the Chinese team. In the end, the Chinese team did not expect the play-offs, did not understand the rules, and did not even understand what the home court was. They were poorly prepared, unjustly lost to New Zealand, and were eliminated with hatred.

This time, Kuwait qualified in Asia. At that time, everyone's thinking was that China seemed to have defeated Kuwait, so everyone thought that the Chinese team was also very strong.

In the era of opening up the country and emancipating the mind, the Chinese people's eagerness to gain recognition from the world made sports competition the first breakthrough.

In a daze, Li He seemed to have caught something, but he just couldn't remember it.

When I got home, I threw the vegetable basket on the ground and went into the house to find a pen and paper.

I started writing and drawing. West Germany, France, Italy and Poland advanced to the semi-finals. I remember this clearly.

But who is the championship team?

Maradona, Rossi, Schumacher, Giresse, Fischer.

A series of names were written on the paper.

Zhang Wanting entered the room and said, "What are you writing there? The garbage pool is full of garbage. The garbage has been blown to our door. Why is there no one to collect it?"

Disposal of garbage at this time is very simple. Build a garbage pool in a residential area. It feels like it has become prominent and the surroundings are surrounded by garbage. If it is dumped again, it will affect walking. Only then will someone come to take it away.

Because this is an open garbage collection area, sewage flows across the area when it rains and snows in winter and summer, and garbage flies everywhere when it is windy in spring and autumn.

Li He said, "We can only be more diligent and sweep the threshold ourselves, otherwise there will be nothing we can do."

Zhang Wanting went to read a book, while Li He continued to think hard, and in the end he could only smile bitterly. After so many years, memories are not so reliable.

The pen scratched the name Rosie in circles.

In the end, Li He gritted his teeth and it was him, Rossi, Golden Globe Award, Italy.

The more Li He thought about it, the more this happened, and he became more certain that it was Italy.

Li He's gambling habit has come up. To gamble or not to gamble?

But I have forgotten all the scores and odds. If I just guess the outcome, neither Williams nor Pinnacle will offer too many odds in the European game.

Unless there is a big disparity in strength between the two teams, there will be a big disparity in odds.

Only Poland is the underdog here, but how the group stage is divided, even if you get real-time news from radio and television, you can't place a bet over the phone.

It would be unreliable to ask Li Ruogu or Wang Yu to help place bets in the United States.

They are all honest students, so they don't know what's going on here.

Li He shook his head helplessly. The plan to make a fortune that he finally thought of was so useless, so he had to sit on the recliner at the door and sigh.

At present, he would not make his life too bad by maintaining the status quo, but he found that he could no longer hold back. His purpose was not to make much money, but to see how powerful he was. In other words, his ambition was It was expanding infinitely, causing him to rush forward regardless.

Of course, in this era, as long as you stay where you are, you are regressing. When you are standing still, there are always some people who are running forward without stopping.

One day, when everyone meets again, don't think that they are showing off their wealth to you, don't think that they are showing off to you, that is the most ordinary life at their level.

Li He also had a deep understanding in his two lifetimes.

Su Ming's younger sister, Su Xiaomei, was lying on the table in the main room, letting Zhang Wanting help her with English lessons. This girl was about the same age as the fourth child in the family. She was in the first grade of junior high school, and she was also very smart.

Zhang Wanting continued to learn English with Li He's encouragement. She already had a high school background, and now she just wants to increase her vocabulary. There was no textbook, so I just picked up an English version of "A Tale of Two Cities" and recited the previous chapter every morning. This book, which reflects capitalist oppression and exploitation, is basically available in foreign language bookstores.

The English version of the book has 334 pages and 45 chapters in paperback. Zhang Wanting just spent a year memorizing most of it without realizing it.

The English compositions he writes now are down-to-earth, with appropriate long and short sentences, and Li He can't find fault with them.

Of course, Li He was also shocked and asked how he did it. Zhang Wanting said proudly, "You can get the sense of English after reciting it a few times. There is no particular emphasis on grammar. Russian is killing me. I have learned to conjugate nouns and conjugate verbs." In such a time, I can’t even write a decent composition. Which one do you think is easier?”

So Li He is not worried about Zhang Wanting mistaking his children. Su Xiaomei follows Zhang Wanting every day and memorizes the first grade textbook. Occasionally, she will ask a few questions about words she doesn't know.

Su Xiaomei and Zhang Wanting got along well, and they were talking and laughing.

Just listen to Su Xiaomei say, "My mother asked me to do the laundry in the morning. I said I was reading a book when I was not doing it. Then she said, what's the use of studying? Look at that girl Zhao next door. She didn't study and she still worked as a second-level worker, earning 38 yuan a month. Block, I don’t know how good it is. I just said, I won’t study anymore. My mother scolded me and said, try saying something again... I’m not afraid of her, so I said I didn’t want to study anymore. What do you think my mother said?"

Zhang Wanting asked curiously, "What did your mother say? Then you won't study anymore?"

Su Xiaomei put her hands on her hips and imitated her mother's posture and tone, "You bastard, your father and I worked hard to support you in school. If you don't read, I'll beat you to death today..."

Zhang Wanting smiled and bent over, vaguely envious of Su Xiaomei. If her mother were so open-minded, she would be happy to die, "Aunt Liu loves you, just study hard."

This is the same as my mother complaining about staying at home all day without going out. After going out to play for a while, she starts to talk about dying outside all day long and not knowing when she returns home. Sometimes creatures like me are used to destroy the three outlooks.

It was approaching noon. Zhang Wanting watched Li He sitting on the recliner without saying anything. She went over to help him make a pot of tea, "Why do you seem unhappy? No one bothered you this morning. What happened?"

Li He said weakly, "I originally thought of a big plan to make a fortune, but in the end it turned out to be a daydream. Don't you think I was happy for nothing?"

"You are just a money addict. Where can we spend so much money? We will win if we have enough," Zhang Wanting whispered again, "Those jars are full of money buried in the yard. Don't be so ignorant. That’s enough.”

Li He sighed and said, "Oh, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"

Zhang Wanting pinched Li He angrily and took the brewed tea away, "If you have ambitions, don't eat at noon, and don't drink this tea either."

Li He wanted to give him a disdainful look in return, but his stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily, but the rumble reached Zhang Wanting's ears very clearly in the moment of silence.

Zhang Wanting smiled more and more proudly before saying, "Your belly is much more honest than you!"
