Chapter 125: Watching TV
Li Zhendong underestimated people's enthusiasm for TV in this era, and greatly underestimated it.
When I was eating at the restaurant in the evening, Li Zhendong's table was better, and the topics on the other table were all about the big color TV that Li Gongzi bought. Most of the people at this table were soldiers, and the delicacies at the table seemed to be less appealing than the color television. Three times and two times, one by one, it seems to be racing the speed of eating, and it is quickly finished.
The soldiers have a knack for eating in the barracks, and the new soldiers who have just arrived don't understand it, and they often can't eat enough, and it takes a long time to learn the tricks of the veterans. In this era, the army cooked rice in a ration, and when the rice was served, so much was put in it, and it was all boiled in one big pot. When the meal was served, the veteran's first bowl of rice was to add two spoonfuls casually, and eat it in a few bites. Then go to the rice pot to make rice, this second bowl is packed sturdy, press it into the bowl as much as possible, pile it into a small mountain bag, and then sit down and eat slowly. The recruits don't understand, the first bowl is full, and when they turn around after eating, the rice pot will already be clean. The food itself has no oil and water, the meat is not fishy, and if you can't even eat enough, you will be hungry and croak when you train with a large amount of exercise.
In the afternoon, when the things were brought back, I heard that I had bought a large TV set, and everyone who was resting or working came to take a look. As soon as the TV had got the signal and was able to receive the program, someone was carrying a stool and wanted to sit down and watch it. was blown away by Li Zhendong, you can only watch it at night, what do you watch in the daytime?
"Okay, in this case, have you eaten enough?" Li Zhendong saw that the things on the table were also eaten up, so he opened his mouth to ask, it was not enough to add more. "Eat well" and "full" The soldiers are very satisfied, the food is good and the food is enough, there is really no need to fight, but the habit cannot be changed all at once.
"Then you guys go back first" Looking at everyone looking like arrows, Li Zhendong really didn't understand that TV was so attractive? In later generations, everyone in the family had a computer, children played games, his wife watched tear dramas, and Li Zhendong himself could watch news broadcasts on the Internet. The large LCD color TV placed in the living room has become a decoration for the furnishings, at most it is turned on when the guests visit.
Liu Ping, who was beside him, twisted his body. "Well, you can go back too, go back with them" Li Zhendong saw the eagerness in Liu Ping's eyes, and he was here to accompany the people in the village to drink, and the time was estimated to be not short. The girl didn't feel like drinking, and she wouldn't be interested in the topics she talked about with the elders in the village, so it would be better for Liu Ping to go back first. Before eating at the table just now, Liu Ping had already asked if the TV was ready?
Liu Ping hesitated. "Go, go" Li Zhendong waved Da Gang and the others to accompany Liu Ping back to the house first. Even Wu Daniu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and a large group of people hugged Liu Ping and left. There were only a few people left in the huge private room, and suddenly it became quiet, just in time for a drink.
In fact, televisions are not such a rare thing in Huangbo Village! There are many families with relatives in Minato Ward. There are seven or eight black-and-white televisions, and one or two color televisions. The village head, Huang Bo, had a color TV and threw it in his eldest son's newly built house. This color TV was sent back by Huang Deding.
Today's dinner came early, and when Liu Ping and his group left first, it was the time when the hotel guests came and went the most. I saw a girl dressed in a fashionable and beautiful manner, followed by a group of armed warriors and several large men. Everyone looked at it in amazement, secretly guessing the origin of this girl.
Ye Jianjun had some things to deal with, and he was late when he arrived at Fulai Hotel. From a distance, I saw a large group of my men waiting at the gate. Seeing the arrival of the district magistrate, a group of officials rushed up, and Ye Jianjun waved his hand, "Let's go in." As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw a large group of people walking out on the opposite side, and the people on both sides happened to be staggered.
Seeing the girl walking opposite, the official behind him was a little noisy, accompanied by someone saying "This girl is so beautiful".
It looks like the dress is fashionable in the port area, with a graceful body and a beautiful, bright and moving appearance. Ye Jianjun couldn't help but look at it twice, and really admired the girl's figure and appearance. It's just that why is there a group of soldiers with weapons behind this girl? It's not uncommon for a few big men to follow.
Thinking about it while walking, Ye Jianjun remembered that the girl looked familiar, it didn't make sense! It's rare to meet such a beautiful girl, how can you feel like you're acquainted? Thinking that there were two familiar men on the girl's side, Ye Jianjun stopped.
By the way, it's Xiao Li, Xiao Li's female companion! It was dark that night, although there were lights, after all, it was night, and the lights were not bright, several people sat together, and they talked to Xiao Li happily, without looking carefully at his female companion. It's rude to look at someone else's female companion carefully, so I didn't recognize it just now.
Ye Jianjun turned around, and Liu Ping's group had long since disappeared into the darkness. "District Chief, is there anything wrong with you?" A sharp-eyed official has already seen Ye Jianjun's movements, is it related to the girl just now? Ye Jianjun thought about it and shook his hand, "It's okay, let's go."
Li Zhendong didn't know about this episode, and when he returned to Courtyard No. 1 at night, he saw that only the lights in the activity room were on in the whole house. The rest of the place was pitch black.
As soon as he entered the door and saw the situation in the house, Li Zhendong almost fell with laughter. The TV is placed against the wall. Liu Ping sat in front with an empty stool beside her. Then, from both sides behind him, there were two rows of people sitting around, surrounding Liu Ping in the middle like a starry moon. One by one, they sat up straight and behaved. reminded Li Zhendong of the nursery rhyme sung by the teacher in the kindergarten: children, sit down, sit in rows, and divide the fruits. Just watching TV, do you need that?
When he saw Li Gongzi coming back, he laughed, and everyone was inexplicable. Li Zhendong smiled and waved his hand, "Look, I have something" to stop everyone from getting up and enter the inner courtyard by himself. The only program Li Zhendong wants to watch in this era is the news broadcast. This is the best way to understand China's current political, economic, and international situation, and the other is to listen to the radio. Li Zhendong must grasp the direction of the general trend.
Before September 1, 1982, the news broadcast did not start until 8 o'clock in the evening. The 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in September this year, and the news broadcast was advanced to 7 o'clock in the evening, and since then, the news broadcast has been fixed at this time. This time has passed. There are indeed classics on old TV shows, but Li Zhendong is not interested in them.
