Chapter 11: TOT Reunion
After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I was thinking about how I could get in touch with my old classmates and my dorm mates. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When I was in school, some of them went to their homes, but since everyone was from a different township, they had forgotten the route they had visited.
Try to find Huan Lin first, Huan Lin's family is from Wangu Township, he is a little older among us, he is steady, and we all look to him when we go to school.
Our county is relatively large, with 23 townships, and because we have been studying, we rarely go to the surrounding villages, let alone other townships. Some villages and towns have never heard of it. Some names are completely different from the words written. For example, Wu'an Village, the family calls it Wanzhai, and the pinyin of Wu'an is read together. I'm going to go if I haven't been before, and I can't hold back the strength of missing my old classmates. I asked my father for the general direction of Wangu, got on my bicycle and set off.
After riding for more than ten kilometers, I reached the boundary of Wangu Township. When I asked the passers-by, they were dumbfounded, the road ahead could not be reached, and to reach the village of Huanlin's house, not only had to turn back a long way, but also had to detour the road. How is this good, seeing that it is noon, and then thinking about it, even if you find it, you are not at home? How can I get back later? I feel that the previous decision was made too hastily, so let's wait until I go back and find out who has a map. I had no choice but to return home.
When I got home, I was extremely unhappy, so I turned on the 14-inch black-and-white TV at home and watched the TV program. This TV is also old. I remember that my father took me to the market town to sell the cotton harvested in the market, and used the money from the sale of cotton to buy this television set. When I came back, my father and mother had a big quarrel, thinking that it was not easy to grow some cotton, and I had to spray and weed, and I had to pinch the tip and pick the flowers, and I had to sell it for a little money for several months, but it was not worth it to buy such a thing. Our family has no other livelihood, and our income depends on the crops in the field, so it is no wonder that my mother is in a hurry, and now the family has to live a tight life again.
"Today is XXX's mother's 70th birthday, please tune in to the songs that XXX ordered for his mother." An on-demand program struck me: I'm going to order a song too, and if any of them see it, won't they be connected? It worked so well that I slapped my thighs with excitement.
The song is broadcast on the TV station, and the place where the song is ordered should be on the TV station. The next day, I took the little allowance I had saved and rode to the county seat. After asking around, I finally found the TV station and went to the place on the second floor where I was responsible for ordering songs.
"Comrade, I want to order a song." I asked tremblingly.
"Let's write a playlist first. Hey, there. The person in charge pointed to the platform on the right, and continued to chat with others without raising his head.
"Liu Huanlin, Chen Guangtao, Zhu Linfu, Ji Ziya, Zhang Hongyun, Mo Shenghui, and Liuxing, the students of TOT dormitory, on the occasion of this Spring Festival, I wish you all all your wishes come true, family happiness, and all the best." I wrote out the playlist and left my name and address and gave it to the person in charge.
"This can't work, TOT can't be written." The person in charge was a little unhappy, "Who knows if this is an organization." ”
"No, this is the English abbreviation of our dormitory when I went to school, 202 dormitory, and it was named TOT." I tried for him to agree.
"No, the TV station has rules, in case it's an organization, wouldn't ordering songs become a series signal. It must be removed. He said firmly.
"Okay, okay, I'll change." Being able to order songs is the goal, and if you don't let you write it, forget it.
"How much?" I don't think it's going to be expensive.
"50 dollars a time." He said it naturally.
"Ah, so expensive!" I was startled and couldn't help but let out an "ah".
How does this work? I only have enough money in my pocket once, and my monthly allowance is only 35 yuan.
"Look, I'm a soldier who just came home from out of town, and I want to contact an old classmate, can you give me a discount." On that day, I deliberately wore a military uniform, and I felt that it should be easier to do things in a military uniform.
"No, there are rules in Taiwan." He replied righteously.
"Look, this is not going to work, can you add an extra scroll bar under the TV?" I was earnest and really hoped he would say yes.
"Well, well, it's not easy to see that you're a soldier." He finally agreed, albeit reluctantly.
With these two broadcasts, I thought to myself, there should still be a chance that someone will be able to hear it. Broadcast twice, 7 people, 14 maybe, as long as one person can hear and see, we will have a drama when we reunite.
Back home, anxiously waiting. The next day, it was broadcast on the TV station. The key is that someone can see it, and can my wish come true?
For two days, three days, and five days, seeing that the day of returning to the camp was getting closer and closer, there was no reaction to the stones thrown, and I felt very lost in my heart.
"Is the righteous cow at home?" One morning, a familiar voice suddenly reached my ears.
"Righteous cow. Righteous cow. "The voice is also familiar. I quickly ran out of the house, and when I saw it, I was stunned.
"Huanlin! Guangtao! Lin Fu! I strode forward and hugged them. It's as if they've met a partner they haven't seen for years.
"It's the song you ordered, it was my brother who told me, he said that someone on the TV station gave you a song, surnamed Guo. I thought it must be you. I'll make an appointment with them. Huan Lin said happily.
"Yes, it's me, I didn't expect my wish to come true." I was also very happy to see them. Those who have gone to the countryside together, those who have carried guns together, and those who have passed through the windows together, their feelings have all been cultivated in hardships and hardships, and they are engraved in each other's hearts.
Through chatting, I learned that Huan Lin is still studying at Henan University, studying physics; Guangtao has worked in the county power bureau, and his family has a bit of a way to go, and the economic conditions are relatively good; Lin Fu is responsible for logistics procurement in the county seat of the Yuguo Hotel, others are very practical, usually do not talk much, but are very sincere to people; Liuxing studied marketing and stayed in Zhengzhou after graduation. The others are in school, some are out of town, and they haven't been able to get in touch yet. I'm glad to hear that they're doing well so far. My classmates are happy, and I feel very happy. Separation is to get together in a better posture, and wanting to come together is something that no force can stop.
Life is just a few key steps, and high school is often a watershed for everyone. Those who are admitted to school are likely to stay in the city where the university is located; Parents who work in government agencies can generally arrange a good place for their children; If you return to the countryside after graduation, you have to start from scratch or go out to work. Since then, the longer the time passes, the greater the changes have become, but there is a common belief that supports everyone that they should live better and their families should live better. Although everyone went their separate ways, everyone worked hard and struggled towards the goal of their choice, not afraid of the twists and turns or thorns ahead, no matter how muddy or rugged the road was......
