Chapter 6 Watch the Spring Festival Gala
Coming back from the uncle's house, Li Ruoyu felt a burst of joy, and now the uncle also agrees with his point of view, and plans to buy a suite in the town, the kind with a façade, the current price is only more than 20,000 yuan, and after more than ten years, this price will have to rise more than ten times. Li Ruoyu still remembers that in later generations, the uncle's family bought a 100-square-meter house in the town in 94, with a 30-square-meter façade downstairs, and later the uncle's family relied on this façade to start a cement and tile business, and slowly became bigger and bigger, and finally not only bought five storefronts in the town, but also bought houses in Rongzhou and Yandu, becoming one of the first families in the town to drive a car, and also accumulated millions of wealth. This is definitely a great thing in Lijiawan and Shuangshi Town, and now Li Ruoyu's allocation may be able to make the uncle's family achieve the goal of being a millionaire ahead of schedule, or even go to the next level, how can Li Ruoyu not be happy.
After lunch, Li Ruoyu went to several uncles' houses to pay New Year's greetings, and of course they all gave him gifts that he bought from Huhai and Yandu. However, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, so these gifts are naturally not as expensive as Chinese cigarettes and Wuliangye for the uncle's family, but Yuxi cigarettes and Tuopai Laojiao and children's favorite White Rabbit toffee. But isn't there an old Chinese saying that courtesy is light and love is heavy, and you must know that these courtesies were not light in the countryside in the 90s.
The day passed like this, Li Ruoyu felt very full and happy, so he slept very sweetly this night, and when he woke up on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, his mother had already made breakfast and was about to wake him up to eat.
Now many people are starting to set off firecrackers, so the whole Lijiawan is immersed in a lively atmosphere for the New Year. The breakfast of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in the countryside of Rongzhou are popular to eat poached egg noodles, because at noon and at night are very rich, to put all the chicken, duck and fish meat on the table, so breakfast can not eat too much meat, but to save at noon and evening to eat, especially at night, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, every family must come up with the best meal, and it takes several days to eat so much, that is, the so-called more than every year, so as to symbolize a better life in the coming year!
The family gathered around the table and began to eat noodles. Li Ruoyu remembers that when he was a child, his father would give red envelopes to his grandmother and himself at breakfast in the Chinese New Year's Eve, although the money was very small, only one yuan, but it also represented the hearts of his parents. But now, it's time to send them red envelopes, but fortunately, this year, the mixing plant has sent a big red envelope, which has 5,000 yuan, so the red envelopes for parents and grandmothers will definitely not be less.
Li Ruoyu finished eating a big bowl of poached egg noodles as quickly as possible, and then took out three red envelopes from his pocket, and pushed them in front of his parents and grandma respectively, while smiling: "Grandma, Dad, Mom, this is the red envelope I gave you, you take it!" I used to receive red envelopes, but now it's my turn to give them! I wish you all good health and longevity! ”
Grandma smiled and said to Li Ruoyu: "Oh, grandma's good grandson can really speak." Well, I'll take this red envelope! Grandma picked up the red envelope, pinched it gently, and then said in surprise: "Ruoyu, how much money did you put in it, such a thick stack!" ”
Li Ruoyu smiled and said, "Grandma, I gave one of you one hundred and twenty yuan, all of which are ten yuan a piece, and there are twelve tickets in total." This symbolizes the red moon! ”
Li Ruoyu's grandmother smiled even more, who doesn't like such a grandson. Li Baosheng and Huang Shuying were also happy to look at it, this year's Spring Festival is really good!
At noon and evening, these two meals are particularly hearty, not only chicken soup, fried crucian carp, sausages, bacon, braised rabbit meat, back pot meat and other common Sichuan dishes in rural Rongzhou, as well as Li Ruoyu brought back Wuliangye from Shanghai, how can you do without wine during the New Year? Li Ruoyu, her grandmother and father can drink a few sips of liquor, and Li Ruoyu has a good amount of alcohol, so this year is really quite atmospheric.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was about half past seven. At this time, people from Li Jiawan came to Li Ruoyu's house one after another, and they all came to see the Spring Festival Gala. You must know that in the rural areas of Rongzhou at this time, the vast majority of people do not have TV sets, so they often go to the homes of people with TV sets to watch TV, especially the Spring Festival Gala, which is a program that everyone must enjoy during the New Year.
Li Ruoyu's family has bought a fourteen-inch Changhong brand black and white TV since he worked, although at this time they all use antennas to receive TV signals, only a few TV stations can be received, but there are many people who come to his house to watch TV, especially in summer evenings, the big guys enjoy the cool while watching Hong Kong martial arts dramas, not only deepening the feelings between each other, but also killing time. So in the countryside at this time, the feelings of the big guys are very good, and the host will also take out some of his own melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks.
Now in Lijiawan, the family with a TV set is Li Ruoyu's family, as well as his uncle Li Baoguan's family. So many people came from a few miles away to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and soon the courtyard of Li Ruoyu's house was crowded. Li Ruoyu and his parents also greeted these Li family members warmly, and took out melon seeds, peanuts and milk candy brought back by Li Ruoyu, which are the children's favorites.
As soon as eight o'clock in the evening came, everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to a 14-inch black-and-white TV screen placed under the eaves of Li Ruoyu's house, because the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV had begun! Li Ruoyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he hadn't seen this ancient black-and-white TV for many years, and even from more than ten meters away, the small screen looked completely incomparable with the large-screen LCD TV of later generations, not only the picture was too small, but the screen of this cathode ray tube TV was still bulging outward, so the picture distortion was more obvious. In addition, since the received signal is not very good, there are some snowflakes from time to time.
However, there are only two such TVs in Lijiawan. It has become the only information acquisition platform for the villagers of Lijiawan, a very fresh entertainment tool, and a link to connect the feelings of the villagers.
The Spring Festival Gala of 91 is still the world of sketches! Li Ruoyu clearly remembers that the most outstanding is "Hand in Hand" performed by Huang Hong and Song Dandan. The fake and shoddy glue glued two unrelated people together when it shouldn't be glued, but it disappointed Huang Hong when it should be glued, and the idea was ingenious. Since "Superborn Guerrilla" made the audience laugh through their bellies, the names of Huang Hong and Song Dandan have also been glued together, saying that Huang Hong must say Song Dandan, and Song Dandan must also mention Huang Hong, and the two have become real golden partners. Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's sketch "Police and Thieves"; Zhao Benshan and Yang Lei's "Little Nine Old Music" have achieved the effect of making people happy.
Of course, in addition to these joke-filled sketches, the Spring Festival Gala in 91 also became popular with many songs, such as "I Want to Have a Home", "Looking Back Again", "Water Flowers", "Lu Binghua" and so on. For these villagers in Lijiawan, it is a must to watch the Spring Festival Gala, because it is like this once a year! In the first two years, they were all at Li Baoguan's house, and the courtyard and dam of Li Baoguan's house were crowded, and the later people could only return in a huff. But now Li Ruoyu's house also has a TV, so the villagers who came to watch the Spring Festival Gala can basically accommodate it, and the courtyards of the two houses are full of two or three hundred people, and they all bring their own benches to watch.
The Spring Festival Gala first began in 1983, and it should be said that CCTV's Spring Festival Gala was an accidental event that year. But later this party has become a new folk custom for the Chinese, and it is a must-see TV dinner every year on Chinese New Year's Eve. The Spring Festival Gala is full of well-known actors and artists, and it brings together opera, song and dance, cross talk, sketches, acrobatics and other programs, which naturally becomes everyone's favorite program.
With the sound of cheerful music, the host Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhang Hongmin, Li Ruiying, and Li Yang appeared on the small screen on that side, which immediately attracted hundreds of pairs of eyes, and the big guys stared at the TV without blinking.
Li Ruoyu is also looking at this long-lost picture and sound on the side, although future generations can search and watch the videos of the Spring Festival Gala on the Internet, but how can it be compared to the rural courtyard in the nineties, hundreds of people gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala have a feeling?
Li Ruoyu thought a lot, and he even thought that in the future, he must develop Lijiawan through his own efforts, so that the villagers of Lijiawan can also live a good life. Not only that, but more Chinese farmers should be able to live a good life. Therefore, he needs to set up his own company faster, for example, in Shuangshi Town, to do some development, to build a cement factory, and so on. In fact, Li Ruoyu also clearly remembers that a large cement factory was indeed introduced in Shuangshi Town in later generations, but because it was born at the wrong time, it was the year when the cement industry was weak, so the cement factory was not very good, and even the wages of the workers could not be paid, and many workers were farmers in Lijiawan. Li Ruoyu doesn't want this tragedy to happen again, he wants to change the future of Lijiawan and even Shuangshi Town, after all, this is his hometown.
