Chapter 119: Chinese New Year's Eve

After eating, Wang Xiulan took out the new clothes she had bought for Li Meng and Li Liang, and urged the sisters and brothers to take a bath and change into new clothes.

"Mom, I'll change into new clothes tomorrow morning!" Li Liang said.

"You skin monkey, you used to change into the new clothes I made for you early, what's the matter, don't you like what your mother bought this year?"

In previous years, Wang Xiulan went to the department store to make clothes for the family, but this year, when the conditions were good, she specially bought a new corduroy dress for her son.

"No, I like the clothes you bought, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I want to wear them tomorrow!" Li Liang said.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you, you three go to take a shower, I'll wash off the clothes I changed tonight!" Wang Xiulan urged the father and daughter, who were still watching TV, to take a bath.

"Sister, go wash first!" Li Liang said to his sister Li Meng.

"Good!"

After the family finished taking a bath, Wang Xiulan picked up her and her daughter's underwear and washed them by hand, and threw all the other clothes into the washing machine.

This year, the family bought a washing machine, and she and her daughter Li Meng benefited the most. In the past, because of washing clothes, her hands would get frostbite every winter, and if she didn't pay attention to it, she would bleed. This year's protection is good, and there are no cracks on the hands.

After taking a shower, the family watched TV around the brazier in the living room.

With the rousing opening song, the nine-episode TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" kicked off with passionate singing.

"Ah comrade-in-arms, you disguised yourself and went behind enemy lines to fight;

Ah, comrade-in-arms, you are witty and nimble, and you didn't go to battle.

Yes...... Yes...... yes

Victory beckons you, and the dawn becomes.

Victory beckons you, and the dawn becomes.

Ah, comrade-in-arms, you have worked hard to overcome the enemy's tiger's den;

Ah, comrade-in-arms, you sacrificed your life and forgot to die to fight the enemy alone.

Yes...... Yes...... yes

Victory beckons you, and the dawn becomes.

Victory beckons you, and the dawn becomes. ”

"Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" is a TV series filmed by CCTV in 1980, a total of nine episodes, it is the first TV series on the mainland, it is about the eve of liberation, Communist Party member Jiang Bo in order to complete the glorious and arduous task assigned by the party, went deep into the tiger's den alone for 18 years.

Regardless of his personal safety, he skillfully maneuvered with the enemy, made a decisive decision at the critical moment, made wisdom in a hurry, evaded the enemy's heavy surveillance, sent information safely again and again, smashed the enemy's conspiracy and tricks, and finally ushered in liberation.

According to the eyes of later generations, this TV series is undoubtedly relatively rough. But in this era, as soon as this TV series came out, it swept the country.

Li Liang's father Li Shuangzhu loves to watch it even more, in the memory of Li Liang's last life, at that time, the family had not bought a TV, Li Shuangzhu would run to a neighbor's house not far away at night, and many people watched it with relish around a 12-inch black-and-white TV.

Li Liang's family kept seeing that at 23:10 in the evening, the 14-inch color TV screen showed a classic color scale map. This picture is familiar to many people, a large circle appears in the middle of the screen, there are colored squares in it, and some are displayed vertical color bars.

It was not until the 21st century, with the increasing number of TV programs, that this graphic gradually became rare on TV.

"Hey, this TV series is so good!" Li Shuangzhu exclaimed.

"It's still our color TV, it looks really enjoyable!" Li Meng said.

"Mom, have you tuned the black-and-white TV you bought for your grandparents?"

Suddenly, Li Liang remembered that his parents went back to his grandparents' house a few days ago and bought a black and white TV set back, so he asked.

"It's debugged, I can watch CCTV programs!" Speaking of this, Li Shuangzhu's face was filled with pride.

Two days ago, when he and his wife returned to the village with a television set, the whole village was in a stir. The old and young in the village gathered around Li's house to watch Li Shuangzhu debugging the TV program.

The second uncle at the head of the village asked in surprise: "Dazhu, can you watch movies on this TV like the movie machine in the township?"

There are few entertainment programs in rural areas, and ordinary farmers can only watch one or two open-air movies when they meet the projectionists in the countryside who go to the countryside.

At this time, the open-air movie projectionist is a very popular job. In accordance with the arrangement of the township cultural station, they generally screen open-air movies in various villages in the township.

The screening of open-air movies is also relatively simple, with a white curtain between two trees, and an old-fashioned projector "creaking" to confide in "Tunnel Warfare" and "Railway Guerrilla......

When it comes to movie screenings, no matter how hot it is in summer or how cold it is in winter, not to mention that the films shown may be "Tunnel Warfare" and "Mine Warfare" that have been screened countless times. But the audience will rush over from Shili and Eight Villages, and some will come over in advance to occupy a place in the afternoon when they know the news of the movie screening. In this era, people's enthusiasm for watching movies is no less than that of some Hollywood blockbusters released in later generations.

"Isn't the grandparents' house a movie theater every day?" asked Li Meng.

"Yes, your dad and I stayed there that night, from afternoon to evening, until the end of the TV show, and your grandparents' family never stopped. ”

"The funniest thing is that we haven't gotten up early the next morning, your grandma went out to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and as soon as she opened the yard door, that guy scared her, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a lot of people waiting in line outside the door to watch TV!"

Wang Xiulan's description of the picture was full of sense, and Li Liang couldn't help laughing.

"Son, my parents really want to thank you for this! If you hadn't proposed to buy a TV for your grandparents, we wouldn't have thought of it. Li Shuangzhu said proudly, "Now the house is lively." ”

Li Liang's grandparents are all lively people, there are many people in the family, and there are many people talking and chatting, so they are in a good mood. Li Liang said with a smile: "Dad, as long as the grandparents are happy, this TV will be worth buying!"

In fact, Li Shuangzhu and Wang Xiulan are more happy with the praise of the old people in the village, as people from the countryside, they attach great importance to the evaluation of people from their hometowns.

In the past, when the family was not wealthy, the two of them would rather deduct their own rations, but also save some money and materials to subsidize the elderly on both sides, in addition to the filial piety of their children, they also do not want to be pointed at by the villagers.

"Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing!"

Li Shuangzhu and Wang Xiulan both graduated from junior high school and haven't read much, but they still have their understanding of the meaning of this sentence.
