Chapter 4 Old Xu Tou
Although Lin Hong had been here a few times, he was not very familiar with Lao Xu Tou, and he had never spoken to him before. In addition, Lin Hong has been used to being ridiculed since he was a child, and he instinctively has a sense of fear of strangers, so when Lao Xu Tou appeared behind him, he hurriedly said his purpose for coming here, for fear that he would misunderstand that he was here to steal things.
"You're a kid from the Changming family, right?"
"Yes, my father's name is Lin Changming, and my name is Lin Hong."
Lin Hong's chick nodded vigorously like a rice peck.
Lao Xu nodded and said, "Show me something." ”
"Well, give."
Old Xu Tou took the scrap iron in Lin Hong's hand, checked it slightly, and then looked at Lin Hong and said with an inquiring look:
"Five cents."
Lin Hong nodded again, although he didn't know how Old Xu Tou calculated the value of this piece of scrap iron, but the amount was the same as what his father said, so naturally he wouldn't be wrong.
After Lao Xu Tou got Lin Hong's approval, he threw the iron into a corner of the shed. Then he removed the greasy glove in his right hand, took out five cents from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Hong.
"Thank you, Grandpa Xu!"
Lin Hong thanked him politely. Although I was a little happy in my heart, I was not as excited as before.
"Hehe, no thanks, it's an equal deal."
Seeing that Lin Hong was very polite, Lao Xu Tou showed a kind smile and explained like this.
With that, he put his gloves back on, walked to the back of the canvas shed, and began to continue what he had done before.
Seeing the other party's smile, Lin Hong's heart was not so nervous, he did not leave immediately, but glanced at the magazine on the ground with some reluctance, and then limped behind Lao Xutou, and when he saw that the other party began to do things, he didn't make a sound, just watched from the sidelines.
Seeing this, Lao Xu Tou didn't speak, and did his own thing.
I saw him slowly unfold a bundle of staggered, messy and dirty cables, and then circle and circle vigorously on a round pole until the cable reached the end, and then find another one, clamp it with a vice, and then continue to wrap it around until the wooden pole more than four meters long was all wound around the cable.
Then, he pulled out the wooden pole in the middle, and the cables that had just been intertwined became a whole neat and tidy cable in a circle.
Finally, Lao Xu Tou tied the cable to a wooden stake and began to pull the other end to straighten it. After straightening, the entire cable is already more than ten meters long. Old Xu Tou connected the final cable to two erected wooden poles in the yard.
Lin Hong found that in the middle of the yard, there were many such wooden poles, which were hung with all kinds of metal wires, and some were even intertwined to form a fishing net.
"Grandpa Xu, what are you doing here?"
Lin Hong saw that Lao Xu Tou was busy and finished, and he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, me, this is making an antenna."
may have successfully completed the matter at hand, Lao Xutou's mood was relatively high, and he was very happy.
"Antenna?"
This is a new word that Lin Hong has never heard before, although he can't understand it, but it feels like it's very powerful.
"Lin Hong, let's go, grandpa will take you to open your eyes."
Old Xu Tou waved his hand at Lin Hong, and then before Lin Hong could react, he turned around and walked towards his home, throwing the gloves in his hand onto a chair next to him as he walked.
Lin Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the words of the old Xu Tou, originally he was still very worried that this Grandpa Xu would be very unfriendly to him like others, but he didn't expect that the truth was the opposite, the other party was not only willing to talk to him, but also took himself to "open his eyes".
This couldn't help but move him inexplicably.
Lin Hong looks stupid and stupid, but his thinking is very precocious, especially after his brain is getting better and better, he gradually has some vague cognition of those people who only adults understand.
Lin Hong limped behind Lao Xu Tou with excitement and entered Lao Xu Tou's house for the first time.
The structure of the houses in the countryside is almost the same, basically detached, with a lobby in the middle, and most of the rooms are centered on the lobby, which is divided on both sides, and the number of rooms varies according to the different population and economic situation.
Lin Hong finally came to the left room of Lao Xu Tou's house.
After Lao Xu Tou opened the door, Lin Hong found that his room was much larger than he imagined, it was almost twice the size of their house, but because it was full of things, it seemed more crowded.
Since Lin Hong had already opened his eyes in the courtyard before, he didn't feel much surprised to see these things in the room, but he was just a little surprised.
In the room by the window, there was a huge table, which was full of all kinds of unknown tools and equipment, Lin Hong was still young, and he didn't know these things at all, but he faintly felt in his heart that those things must be very precious.
To the left of the table, there is a very strange wooden box with many densely packed buttons and knobs, and at the top of the box, there is also a small square box with a black prototype inlaid inside.
Old Xu Tou walked to the window, opened it to breathe, and then sat down in front of the strange wooden box.
Lin Hong also walked to the side and asked the second question.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
"Hehe, this is grandpa's baby. It's called a radio station, and it was made by my grandfather himself. ”
"Radio station?"
Lin Hong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the magazine he saw before.
Old Xu Tou stopped talking, and directly flicked a button on the top of the box panel, and suddenly, Lin Hong was surprised to find that a familiar hoarse voice came from the square wooden box at the top.
"This is the radio?"
Lin Hong showed a look of surprise on his face, he remembered very well that the sound of the small radio that his mother bought for him was like this.
When Lao Xu Tou heard his words, he said with some amusement: "This is not comparable to those toys, this is a real radio station." ”
After saying that, he realized that his words were a little redundant, and he could understand what he said to a child of a few years old. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no one in the entire Black Rock Village who can communicate with him. It's good for this kid to know the radio.
Today, he finally set up the antenna he designed, and he was happy in his heart, so he invited Lin Hong to come in to see his achievements, but it was a little Meng Lang.
Thinking of this, Lao Xu Tou turned his head to Lin Hong and said, "Lin Hong, don't tell your grandfather about it, don't even tell your father, can you promise grandpa?" ”
Lin Hong was a little hesitant when he heard this, his father was the person he trusted the most, and he couldn't even tell him, which made him very embarrassed.
"If you don't tell anyone, Grandpa will allow you to come here more often in the future, how about it?"
Seeing this, Lao Xu Tou hurriedly threw out the bait.
"Good!" Lin Hong nodded immediately when he heard this, "The eldest husband is hard to chase after him, we high-five us!" ”
With that, he stretched out his small palm.
This is the plot he sees in villain books and works, in which the big men and men will keep their promises no matter what, once they swear by a high-five.
Old Xu Tou was slightly stunned, and then nodded very solemnly: "Okay, high-five is an oath." ”
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sounded, and a gentleman's agreement was reached in this way.
Then, Lao Xu Tou began to rotate the knobs on the radio panel non-stop, adjusting the parameters, and soon the somewhat harsh noise in the speaker turned into a pleasant announcer's voice.
"Good afternoon, listeners and friends, and welcome to the Voice of China ...... of China of China on China National Radio"
Received the program!
Lin Hong looked at the big guy in front of him with some envy, and couldn't help but think of his little radio in his heart.
"Although the sound of Grandpa Xu's 'radio' is better than mine, it is too big after all, and my radio is better." Lin Hong thought so in his heart.
Lao Xu Tou still didn't stop, but continued to adjust the button, and the voice in the speaker changed again, this time to a foreigner's voice.
“"thisisthebewsateighto‘clockonsunday……”
Lin Hong felt very strange when he heard such a foreign language for the first time.
Soon, the voice in the speaker changed again, and it became "chirping" Japanese, this time Lin Hong heard it clearly, after all, the village often reflects anti-Japanese movies, and he still has some impressions of the style of Japanese.
Old Xu Tou had a smile on his face, Lin Hong didn't know the deep information hidden in it, but he knew it himself. After his redesigned antenna worked, the range of receiving stations has been greatly expanded.
After the freshness at the beginning, Lin Hong felt a little bored.
After all, he is still a child, he doesn't know anything about what Lao Xu Tou does, and he can't understand the content in the speaker, although he knows that this device called "radio station" by Lao Xu Tou must be very powerful, but for him now, it is too complicated.
So, he began to look around curiously to re-examine the room of Old Xu Tou.
He found that on the right side of the workbench, a large black cloth was hung, covering the entire wall, and people couldn't help but wonder what was behind the black cloth?
At this moment, a light breeze blew in from the window, blowing up the corner of the black cloth, revealing the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.
