Chapter 48: Where the Seagulls Fly, the Colorful Clouds Fly
A few days after returning to the yard of the technical school, Wei Guo went to work in the mountains, leaving Dongmei to live alone with her children. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although she has long been accustomed to this kind of life of separation between the two places, she always feels a little sad every time she is separated, but looking at the overall environment of the entire base, except for the husband who works in logistics, other families basically live this kind of life of separation between husband and wife.
Dongmei stood at the door of the tin house, looking at the mountains behind the yard of the technical school, and suddenly sighed that even if the outside is good, she still likes to give birth to her own hometown of Guanzhong, and when the child finishes school in the future, when she is old, she still has to return to the place where she was born.
At the same time, Dongmei has a question in her heart, I don't know if the children will have the same heart as herself, and still love the hometown where she was born and raised.
So, Dongmei entered the house, called the child to her side, and asked Taotao and Nana, "Are you happy to go back to your hometown?"
Tao Tao and Nana said in unison, "Happy." ā
Dongmei then asked, "Then do you like your hometown, or do you like here?" ā
Without thinking, the two children said, "I like it here." ā
Dongmei's answer made Dongmei very disappointed, and it seemed that the child had fully adapted to and liked life here.
Dongmei asked Taotao curiously, "Why don't you like your hometown?"
Tao Tao thought for a while and said: "I don't like to sleep on the kang, the fleas on the kang always bite me, here we sleep in the bed, there are no fleas." ā
Taotao's skin is allergic to fleas, as long as the flea bites, there will be a big red bump immediately, and then this pimple turns into blisters, which is very painful.
Dongmei asked Nana again, "Why don't you like your hometown?"
Nana put her hands on her chin, thought about it briefly and said, "There is no desk for homework in my hometown, and it is very uncomfortable to always lie on the edge of the anti-border to do homework." ā
After Dongmei heard this, she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, it turned out that the reason why the children didn't like their hometown was so simple.
At this time, Guo Lanying suddenly walked in from the door mysteriously, took Dongmei's hand and said, "You have come back from your hometown." ā
Dongmei beckoned Guo Lanying to sit down, took out the dry spicy noodles brought from her hometown, poured some for her and said, "Yes, it's been almost two months since I went back." ā
Guo Lanying excused the spicy noodles in Dongmei's hand and said, "Go, Dongmei, go to my house, I'll show you something good." ā
In that era when there were no snacks, children's favorite food was steamed buns with oil and spicy seeds.
The method of making spicy noodles is to add salt to the dry spicy noodles, then pour the boiling oil into it, and stir well.
Because dry and spicy noodles are very expensive, Dongmei knows that Guo Lanying's family does not have them at all.
Every time Qiang Qiang came to Dongmei's house to play, he had to eat a spicy and steamed bun, so no matter how Guo Lanying shirked it, Dongmei just stuffed the spicy noodles into her hands, and then replied to her: "What do you want to show me?"
Guo Lanying didn't speak, but just pulled Dongmei to her house.
Guo Lanying's home is in a tin house in the westernmost part of the yard of the technical school, and after Dongmei walked in, she was surprised to see a fourteen-inch color TV in the innermost part of the tin house.
In the courtyard of the technical school, there were only three families with televisions in more than 100 households, and in that era, televisions were extremely rare "household appliances".
Dongmei walked over in surprise, touched the color TV in front of her and said enviously: "Wow, the TV, it's still a color TV, ......." ā
Guo Lanying smiled without saying a word, and with a light press of the button, the color TV turned on.
Dongmei touched the color TV up and down and said, "Wow, it's still Changhong brand, it's estimated to be one thousand eight, right?"
The 1,080 color TV was obviously an unaffordable expense for workers who had an annual income of only 2,04 at that time.
Guo Lanying turned up the channel on TV and told Dongmei: "It's not that expensive, it's just five hundred yuan." ā
Hearing that five hundred can buy a Changhong brand color TV, Dongmei's eyes were about to fall out and said: "It's so cheap, where to buy it, I'll buy one too." ā
Guo Lanying found the TV drama channel, and then told Dongmei: "This TV is not bought, it is a TV that Wan Qing's uncle's family has withdrawn, and if you don't want it, you will sell it to Wan Qing cheaply." ā
Dongmei looked the black color TV up and down and said, "Is this TV still new, you really picked up a big bargain." ā
After speaking, Dongmei smiled, she knew that Wan Qing had an uncle in the courtyard of the second base of drilling, who seemed to be a small leader and very rich.
Guo Lanying said: "His uncle's family bought a new 21-inch Panasonic TV, and this one was given to us." After speaking, Guo Lanying was very proud in her heart.
Dongmei has only heard of the brand of the TV set is Huanghe, Changhong, Panda, and has never heard of the brand Panasonic, so she asked curiously: "Why buy Panasonic, is that brand Changhong?"
Guo Lanying said: "Panasonic is a foreign product, so expensive, it must be better than our Changhong." ā
At that time, Japanese home appliances were dominant, and being able to own a Japanese brand of home appliances was simply a symbol of status.
Unlike now, Japanese home appliances have been completely attacked by our famous brands.
At this time, Dongmei stopped talking, she was not stunned by the Panasonic brand, but was completely attracted by the TV series that was being broadcast on the TV drama channel.
She listened to the familiar names in the TV series, Yu Muhuai, Yu Shang, and Ou Shiche, and immediately asked Guo Lanying excitedly: "This TV series is a Qiong Yao drama in Taiwan Province?"
Guo Lanying's eyes lit up happily as she looked at the TV series and said, "That's it." ā
When Dongmei was in Xinjiang, she read Qiong Yao's novels that Wei Guo found for her, among which "Caiyun Flying" and "Where the Seagull Flying" are one of Dongmei's favorite novels.
She looked at the plot in the play and tried to recall: "This TV series is "Caiyunfei"?"
Guo Lanying shook her head and said, "No." ā
Dongmei frowned and said, "It's not "Caiyun Flying", then it must be "Where the Seagull Flies"?"
Guo Lanying still shook her head and said, "It's not." ā
Dongmei felt strange, she asked Guo Lanying curiously: "Then what is this TV series? Could it be "On the Water Side", but "On the Water Side" is not so good-looking?"
Guo Lanying said with a smile: "The name of this TV series is "Seagulls Fly Where Colorful Clouds Fly". After speaking, Guo Lanying burst into laughter.
Dongmei patted her head and said, "So that's the case, Qiong Yao is so interesting to integrate the stories of the two books into one TV series." ā
It turned out that the ultra-low ratings of the 1988 TV series "On the Water Side" gave Qiong Yao a serious blow, so she thought of a way to increase the ratings, and softened the characters and storylines in the two books "Caiyun Fei" and "Seagull Flying" together, and there was "Caiyunfei", which created a new ratings climax.
The only "emotional theater" that Dongmei and Guo Lanying have seen before is "Desire", and they still watched it intermittently in different people's homes.
Facing the super high-level, super fashionable, super gorgeous, and super complex emotional dispute TV series in front of them, the hands of the two clasped tightly together, and they couldn't take their eyes off this TV series.
At the same time, in Dongmei's heart, the original idol Tang Guoqiang has been replaced by Qin and Han.
And the goddess Zhang Yu in her heart was also PK by Liu Xuehua.
Since then, going to Guo Lanying's house every day to watch two episodes of "Seagull Flying Where Caiyun Flying" has become something that Dong Meilei doesn't understand, and every day he "thinks about it" for the following plot and the transformation of characters.
Dongmei dreamed many times at night, dreaming that there was a brand-new fourteen-inch color TV at home, but when the dream woke up, he realized that it was just a dream, and couldn't help but sigh that such a rare thing, how could it be bought.
But Dongmei didn't expect that with the continuous progress of society and the continuous development of the economy, in the next few years, TV would soon become popular.
On this day, Dongmei was busy cooking for her two children at home, when suddenly the door of the tin house was pushed open, and Qiangqiang's sister Honghong pushed the door open and walked in.
Honghong, who was only five years old, looked at Dongmei anxiously and said, "My mother called you over,...... Here we go. ā
Because the name of "Seagull Flying Where Caiyun Flying" is too long, Honghong can't remember it, but in order to attract Dongmei's interest, she came up with a TV series name that she found very attractive, and said: "Auntie, Tebusi has started, my mother asked me to tell you to come and watch it." ā
Hearing "Tebus", Dongmei looked confused, thinking that it should be a children's cartoon, Guo Lanying asked herself to watch this, and the only thing she was waiting for every day was the TV series "Seagulls Flying and Colorful Clouds Flying".
Dongmei looked at the wall clock on the wall, there were still two hours before the TV series began.
What Dongmei didn't know was that because the TV station was going to broadcast the sports event live today, the TV station broadcast "The Seagull Flies Where the Colorful Clouds Fly" in advance.
While cooking on the liquefied gas stove, Dongmei said to Honghong: "Auntie doesn't like to watch cartoons like Tebus, so go watch them." ā
Hearing that it was a cartoon, Taotao, who was sitting next to him and doing his homework, was anxious and hurriedly said, "Mom, if you don't watch it, I'll go with Honghong to watch it." ā
Dongmei turned around, glared at Taotao and said, "Look at what, write your homework obediently." ā
Because "Seagulls Fly Where Caiyun Flying" has been on the air for a while, Honghong looked at Dongmei anxiously and said, "Auntie, if you don't watch it again, Tebusi will be over." ā
Dongmei didn't understand why Honghong had to pull herself to watch cartoons, did Honghong want to eat spicy and steamed buns?
So, she called Honghong in and added a spicy bun to Honghong for Honghong to eat.
Honghong shook her head and said, "My mother also poured oil and spicy seeds at home, I don't eat them, I eat too many spicy seeds, and my butt hurts when I pull poop." After speaking, Honghong still didn't leave, still standing at the door.
Dongmei asked curiously: "Honghong, can you tell Auntie, what kind of program is Tebus?"
Honghong touched her head and said: "Tebus is one, my mother said, this man loves that woman, but that woman loves another man, but another man loves ......." ā
Speaking of this, Dongmei finally understood, and hurriedly asked Honghong: "Is it that "Seagulls Fly Where Caiyun Fly" started in advance. ā
Honghong hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right, Auntie, the rainbow started early, you go and see it." ā
As soon as she heard that it had already begun, didn't she want her own life, Dongmei hurriedly threw down the meal she was cooking, and followed Honghong towards Guo Lanying's house.
When she went out, Dongmei said to Taotao: "Look at the pot, I am boiling soup, if the soup is ready, I will extinguish the fire of the liquefied gas stove." I went to watch a TV series and came back in a while. You do your homework with Nana first. ā
After finishing speaking, Dongmei ran towards Guo Lanying's house like a fifty-meter sprint.
The liquefied gas stove used by Dongmei's family is provided by the unit, and it is supplied by a liquefied gas tank through a rubber pipe.
Dongmei didn't turn off the fire when she left, and Taotao didn't know how to operate this behemoth.
When the soup was boiled, the careless Tao Tao accidentally touched the pressure reducing valve of the cylinder when he turned off the stove, and this touch actually caused the pressure reducing valve to leak, and the furnace not far from it had not been extinguished.
Nana and Taotao, who were doing their homework, were instantly stupid when they saw this scene, and both of them stood up and retreated to the corner, leaving the liquefied gas tank burning slowly on the opposite side.
