Chapter 100: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
The Spring Festival Gala in 1985 was definitely a failure, and Li Yadong still remembers that CCTV was humble in "News Network" at that time.
But he didn't withdraw, his mother and the fourth sister wanted to see it, and he could only accompany him.
When the three of them came to the village committee, there were already many people sitting in the auditorium, but fortunately, Fang Huozi finally did not forget who bought the Venus brand TV set on the stage, and found a good position for Hu Xiuying on the grounds that he respected the old and loved the young, and the older people had bad eyes.
Li Dongmei looked stupid, she didn't have this treatment, she could only sit in the back in turn, as for Li Yadong, she didn't bother to sit, and chatted with Zhang Chunxi by the wall.
"When will you call the second dog, and our brother will have a drink. ”
Zhang Chunxi leaned against the wall and spread his hands casually, "Look at you, the shop is closed anyway, and it will be opened after the third day of junior high school." ”
"The third year of junior high school......" Li Yadong thought in his mind, he will be very busy in the next few days.
There is no way, the old Li family wants him to come to worship in the New Year, his eldest brother and third brother are married, and they are considered a separate family, so they will not let his mother and fourth sister go to visit the New Year, and there will be someone to greet him at home.
"I'll try my best to be in the third year of junior high school, but I guess it's enough. ”
In fact, the old Li family itself has few relatives, his grandfather was sick in middle age, and gave birth to two sons, the uncle is deceased, the relationship between the next generation is not good, and there are many quarrels about trivial things in the past, but this year's New Year's greetings are more than a lot of people, mainly in the middle of the year when he was admitted to college, many relatives who can't beat the eight poles have come to give gifts, and the relationship has been established in this way.
"You're choking this year, you don't have a bike, it's up to you what you do. ”
This kid doesn't open a pot and which pot to mention, Li Yadong really didn't think about this problem before, he felt a headache when it came to the end, it was definitely not easy to borrow a car for the New Year, there was no transportation, and he had to run to death when the time came.
"Eh, you kid, why don't you kick it when you make so much money?"
"Then borrow you to kick it, right?" Zhang Chunxi stretched out his hand angrily, "Come, borrow one or two thousand oceans, and go to the county to pick up one tomorrow morning." ”
"Fuck off. Li Yadong slapped his hand away and said: "You are also a big boss who earns dozens of dollars a day, and you have to borrow money to buy a car and kick it, what about the money you make in the past six months?"
"Do you think my dad would let me manage so much money?"
Li Yadong was dumbfounded, but ignored the existence of Accountant Zhang.
"No money?"
"Yes, there are still hundreds of dollars in private money. ”
"In this case, you go pick up one tomorrow, lend me a few days to ride, and I'll lend you how much I don't need first. ”
"That's what you said. Zhang Chunxi smiled, as a prodigal chaser, he had long wanted to have a mount of his own, he used to envy his father's 28 bars, but now with the rise in value, his vision is also high, and he can no longer look down on it.
"Eh, I said Xiaodong, why can you make money studying at school than I can do at home, what are you doing?" suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking, in fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"I didn't do anything, I just started a small company...... Li Yadong didn't have anything to hide, so he talked about the affairs of Yifan Trading Company in detail.
"Go to the south to buy things and sell them in the capital?" Zhang Chunxi was dumbfounded when he heard this, he only felt that this guy's courage was also great, he had never been out of the county seat for so long, so he dared to do business across provinces.
"If you are interested, you can also do it, go to the provincial capital to find some sources of goods to sell in the county, and you can also have a lot of income. ”
"Really?" Zhang Chunxi's eyes lit up, because he found that the roast duck restaurant was actually more than him, and there was no more than him, and he could do something else.
"Trick you into having candy?"
"That'...... You tell me to think about it, I have to think about it......" He glanced at his head, and pondered carefully, it was really because his heart was weak, and he felt that he did not have enough guts.
Li Yadong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and at this time, the Spring Festival Gala also began.
Why did the Spring Festival Gala in 1985 move from the indoor studio to the workers' gymnasium, in fact, Li Yadong can guess a little reason.
Because everyone watched the grand National Day military parade and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles this year, the leaders above probably felt that China, a big country with a population of more than one billion, was too shabby to hold the Spring Festival Gala in the studio, and wanted to present a grander scene.
Unfortunately, China was too backward at this time, and the lack of experience in holding large-scale galas was secondary, and the main equipment was too poor to support such a celebration as live broadcasting.
Sure enough, there was a problem with the first program of the party, you must know that 1985 was the Year of the Ox, but the first program was "A Hundred Monkeys Welcome Spring", which was inexplicable.
This is not the end, after a while, Sun Dasheng in flight hit the railing again, and Li Yadong looked at him and felt sorry for him.
However, the villagers in the auditorium didn't mind at all, and still watched it with relish, mainly because they hadn't seen it before, so there was no comparison in their minds. In fact, since the beginning of '83, the Spring Festival Gala in the first two worlds has been quite successful, and the social response has also received rave reviews.
There was obviously a problem with the radio equipment at the party site, the sound was so small that it could not be heard clearly without pricking up his ears, even if Fang Huozi had turned up the volume of the TV to the maximum.
The subsequent sketch "Making a Movie" is a rare highlight in the whole party, the partner of Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi can be called a classic, although the voice is still not very clear, but the funny actions of the two still make everyone look up.
When Chen Peisi wore a thin white cardigan and poured a basin of cold water on his head, the atmosphere in the auditorium reached a climax, and the applause was thunderous.
But Li Yadong couldn't laugh, because probably only he knew here, and the outdoor temperature in the capital at this time was only two or three degrees.
In order to bring laughter to the people of the whole country, Comrade Lao Chen really worked hard.
This party was very long, Li Yadong had some impressions, but he didn't remember how long it was, the key was that his mother and the fourth sister were very energetic, and then they kept waiting, waiting, waiting for more than six hours, which made him have the urge to scold his mother.
I went back to sleep and felt like I woke up just after closing my eyes.
Zhang Chunxi knocked on the window outside, Hu Xiuying asked him to come in and didn't enter, the two families are not relatives after all, there is no need to pay New Year's greetings, it is not appropriate to enter the door on the first day of the new year.
Li Yadong counted two thousand yuan and ran to the door to give it to him, and then Zhang Chunxi went to the county in a hurry.
The customs in the south are very different from those in the north, and in the north they basically do not go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, while in the south it is just the opposite, not only on the first day of the new year, but also to go to the nearest relatives to pay New Year's greetings.
As Li Yadong thought before, the first day of the new year of the old Li family was a disaster, since more than seven o'clock in the morning, the people who came to the door basically never stopped, the house was full of people, and there was no place to sit.
Li Yadong carried a New Year's gift and easily broke out of the encirclement, but he took pity on his mother and fourth sister, and he was going to be tired today.
He quickened his pace all the way, planning to arrive at the destination before noon, because according to the custom, he could not pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon, he was going to his mother's maiden house, although his grandparents were no longer there, but there was also an uncle, and now he was indeed Li Yadong's closest elder.
