Chapter 4: The Beauty of the Radio Station

By 1979, radio had spread across urban and rural areas. Even in the remote countryside, the surrounding roads, villages, and high telephone poles are hung with horns. Every morning at 7 o'clock, the news is broadcast on time. Over time, radio has become a part of people's lives, and it has also become a way for the mountainous areas in the midst of thousands of mountains to learn about major events at home and abroad.

After the Spring Festival, the news on the radio was the news of the war in the southern Xinjiang of the motherland. Every time the news of "the People's Liberation Army launching a self-defense counterattack ......" and "the People's Liberation Army conquering ......" comes in, every word and every sentence touches the hearts of countless people.

People have lived in the mountains for a long time, and have not felt the pulse of the outside world for many years, and have become accustomed to the plain life like water.

The small mountain village is not too far from the place where the battle began, about five or six hundred kilometers.

As early as a few months ago, a large number of troops and military trucks were traveling up the river, passing the road next to the small mountain village, and many people ran to the side of the road to watch. When the tank passed a bridge, there was a long line of ironclads, and Qin Yin ran over with an innocent group of children, and some children asked the soldiers in front: "Uncle of the People's Liberation Army, the tanks in front have passed, why don't you go to the bridge?"

The soldier replied with a smile: "The tank is heavy, this bridge cannot carry such a heavy tank to cross the bridge continuously, and we quickly pass a tank every twenty minutes." ”

Among them were the boys, who were curious and begged to see what the inside of the tank looked like. One of the soldiers picked up a little boy and carefully put him in through the large, round entrance above. The soldier inside picks up the little boy. But in a few moments, the little boy came out. As he walked, he shouted, "There are a lot of kettles in it, it's too hot." ”

At that time, people thought that these soldiers were just passing by for exercises. Only Kotone continued to babble that there was going to be a war, and soon after, there would be a war of blood and fire. Some people say, don't take this crazy woman's words seriously.

When the news of the battle on the front line came over the radio, the whole village was impressed by the sound of the piano. People began to change their opinions about her, and some people said that Qin Yin was not crazy, nor was she stupid, but that she was possessed by a ghost and knew everything about the future. Only Qin Yin himself knows that the war he originally talked about was unfortunately fulfilled later, and it was also purely accidental.

For a time, the news from the front line and the myth that the small mountain village had a wonder girl predicting the war became the most talked about topic.

The reporter of the radio station made a special trip to interview Qin Yin, and Qin Yin played a clever role and said, it's okay, it's about a month before and after this war. I'm more concerned with one other thing.

The other thing that Qin Yin said was because she didn't know where she heard it, and the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee should have already been held. Reform and opening up should begin.

Sure enough, the main battle of that war lasted about a month, and another major event on the radio was the words "the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th Central Committee" and "the great turning point in realizing the focus of work" that were repeatedly mentioned in the news.

Qin Yin was originally nonsense, but she was unfortunate to say it again and again, so she could predict the news of the future, and for a time it spread in the mountains.

The director of the commune radio station came to look for a broadcaster, and saw that the sound of the piano was beautiful, and there was both the small and meticulous of the southern girl, and the generosity and stability of the northern girl, and the Mandarin and local dialects were excellent, the key was that she had gone to high school, although she claimed to be talking nonsense, but in fact she had a unique, profound, and foreseeable view of major events at home and abroad.

The parents are very happy, and they praise this girl for finally having a bright day.

Qin Yin only learned when she arrived at the radio station that the so-called main responsibility was actually to take care of all the editing, editing and broadcasting.

Kotone often broadcasts scenes from her dreams. Since her twin Qinmi left her to go to college, and she had a dream of food and clothing, she imagined that she had become an expert in a certain major division in the university, earning a lot of money, and not having to be poor. Reflected in the broadcast, the following scenario is born.

A villager lost a duck, Qin Yin comforted on the radio: "Don't worry, it's just that you don't see a duck, in the future, you can rely on your duck raising skills to become a professional duck farmer, with an annual income of tens of thousands of yuan." "At that time, people didn't know terms such as professional households and 10,000 yuan households, so they let Qin Yin say it in advance. When the villagers who lost their ducks heard these words, their hearts were filled with hope and expectation.

Someone stole a shuttle banana from the production team, Qinyin broadcast and said, stealing bananas today is a manifestation of no vision, if you have ambition, you can grow a large piece of fruit by yourself in the future, you can not only eat enough, but also make a lot of money, but also be a fruit king, good varieties can be sold at home and abroad. After listening to it, people suddenly have the desire to grow a large piece of fruit, and then think of such a small thing as a shuttle of bananas, whether it is lost or stolen, it is not taken for granted.

Similar broadcasts are made one after another, and from such broadcasts, people hear the information of the future, hear the taste, and become addicted. Over time, people were eager to hear the free editing of the sound of the piano after the news was broadcast.

Until one day, there was a seventeen-year-old lively girl in the village, who listened to the words of the matchmaker and the order of her parents, and wanted to marry a man from a neighboring village. Qinyin Radio said that we are about to usher in the great era of reform and opening up, as a seventeen-year-old girl, in the near future you can go out to work to earn a lot of money, you can wear colorful clothes to attract countless aspiring young people, why rush to marry the wrong marriage now?

The broadcast caused an uproar and directly made the marriage collapse. The sound of the piano fell on both sides and was not human.

The people in the woman's family said that since listening to the radio, the girl in the family has become old-spirited, refuses to marry, and is still eager for some upcoming migrant work.

The people in the man's family were even more angry, and directly proposed to let Qinyin replace the girl who refused to marry and marry into his family.

Qin Yin said, okay, let me go to your house first, and marry when it is suitable.

Qin Yin really came to the man's house. The whole family gathered together and said that they would come to see the daughter-in-law in the future. Everyone was very satisfied with the first impression of the sound of the music, and they all said that this girl was much more beautiful and better than the original one.

Qin Yin walked in the door graciously, and the man stayed in the corner blankly, not daring to look at her. Qin Yin sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals uninvited, poured tea, asked this and that, and talked about family affairs, pastoral affairs, and future affairs with the man's relatives, and was generous. And the man never said a word.

At the end, Qin Yin pointed to the lewd man in the corner and said, "Who is that, you want to marry me, why don't you dare to come here?"

The man cowered, as if he was facing a great enemy, trembling, red-faced and red-eared, and slowly moved over, and that kind of embarrassment caused the hall to laugh. Even the man's family, in this high-level judgment scene, felt that these two did not look like a couple. After that, he never dared to mention the matter of letting Qin Yin get married.

After this incident, the sound of the piano became famous. The men of the area worship her as a goddess, and the women follow her example.

The sound and the audience enjoyed it. The radio in the commune, because of the sound of the piano, became closer to the hearts of the villagers.

In the broadcast, Qin Yin reviewed in detail the news of the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, especially the guidelines for economic reform set by the congress. He also transferred the article "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" by a special commentator at the central level to the radio and interpreted it.

From her own broadcasts, she realized that some fundamental changes were coming, including China's opening up to a market economy. Whenever she talks about the future, when it comes to the future of economic improvement, people are very interested and eager to try. From here, she judged, the policy of economic reform would continue because the Chinese wanted to get rich.

At that time, there was still poverty, selfishness, and heavy manual labor in the mountainous and rural areas, but people had work, food, and sustenance, and that was hope.

Every day, the sound of the piano that comes out of the radio station, although it is sweating profusely, is fresh and refined, very temperamental, and the smile is still very beautiful.
