As expected, when Wang Manyin first turned on the TV, the screen was full of snowflakes and the sound was sizzling.

"Sunny, full of silver, you won't buy a bad TV, right?" Wang Qingming asked suspiciously.

"Master Qingming, the TV must be fine. We bought a TV in the department store in the afternoon, and we had people try it, and we could still see people at that time. Mao Dan shook his head again and again.

The department store he was talking about was the original county supply and marketing cooperative. It's just that in line with the trend of the times, it has changed its name now, but many still like to call it a supply and marketing cooperative.

"What the hell is going on then?" Someone else spoke in doubt.

It's the first time we've watched TV, and we don't know anything about it.

Wang Manyin, of course, is clear, as long as this old-fashioned TV is started, the antenna begins to receive electromagnetic wave signals, so there will be snowflake screens.

To tune in to a clear channel, you need to constantly adjust the indoor and outdoor antennas. If the location is not right, it is useless to be busy all night.

Then, he groped his way up to the top of the mountain with a flashlight.

Located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, the village is surrounded by ditches and ravines, and the electromagnetic signal is greatly interfered with.

This is also the reason why Wang Manyin set the antenna on the top of the mountain.

As the antenna slowly rotated, I finally heard a sound on the TV.

"There is a figure, there is a ......" There was immediately a cheer from below.

"Clear?" Wang Manyin poked his head and asked.

"It's a bit vague...... All right! ”

After Wang Manyin fixed the antenna again, he climbed down the mountain in disgrace. In order to be able to watch TV, I can count myself hard enough.

"Hey, it's like a movie cloth, there's someone in there. How the hell did you think this man got in? ”

"Clearer than the movie cloth...... Babies, what's the show? Another adult asked.

"Put "Huo Yuanjia"!" Immediately a child answered.

Wang Manyin watched this TV series in later generations, so he naturally knows something about it. It was originally called "Hero Huo Yuanjia", which was filmed in 81 years with Hong Kong ATV, and it was very positive in terms of theme and content, so it became the first Hong Kong TV series introduced in China.

As soon as "Huo Yuanjia" was broadcast in China, it caused a huge sensation and created an unprecedented myth in the history of TV dramas. Subsequently, major TV stations rebroadcast one after another, leaving indelible memories after countless 80s and 90s.

Many children will sing a few words in their mouths: "The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River will be surging for thousands of miles". When fighting with people, there are also people who will perform their own comprehension of the "Lost Fist".

Even decades later, as long as people mention the word "Huo Yuanjia", they will instinctively think of this TV series.

A classic is a classic, and although everyone starts to read it from halfway, they quickly devote themselves to it.

One by one, they stared at the screen, their eyes didn't blink, and they didn't even feel like they were bitten by mosquitoes.

Especially seeing the scene of Huo Yuanjia and Cheng Tianxiao fighting each other, countless broken babies even breathed lighter. During this period, there are still people who come to join in the fun.

The entire front of the TV is completely airtight.

Wang Manyin roughly counted the heads, and there could be more than a hundred.

Fortunately, the venue is relatively large, so it can accommodate so many people. But in the end, the TV screen is too small, and the person standing at the back can probably listen to the sound.

Even so, no one wanted to leave the whole time.

However, their three local dogs deserve praise, they have always behaved calmly, and they have not barked indiscriminately.

Until half past ten, the word "goodbye" was typed on the TV screen, and the people watching TV were still a little unsatisfied.

"That's it, it's not fun, put it in a little more with full silver?"

"That's it, I'm waiting to see Chen Zhen seek revenge......"

Hearing this, Wang Manyin was a little speechless, and could only helplessly explain to everyone: "The TV station is not released, and I can't help it, I will watch it tomorrow night!" ”

"Let's go, go home, sleep!"

Although people were reluctant to give up, they could only leave one by one carrying stools.

After getting off the side, walking to the darkness not far away, many broken babies stood directly on the side of the road and began to release water. I was afraid of missing the wonderful plot just now, so they kept holding it back.

After sending everyone away, the two of them urged a few children to take a bath and sleep.

Wang Manyin also sweated during the day, and his whole body was slimy. Seeing that the lights in the children's room were out, he also took a change of clothes and went down to the lotus pond to bathe.

When I returned to the cave, I saw the orchid half-leaning on the mosquito net, holding a book in her hand and looking at it.

With electric lights, it is much easier to read at least at night.

"What's the time, go to bed early, and see ...... tomorrow"

"Waiting for you," Orchid said, closing the book.

After her husband got on the kang, she closed the mosquito net again and leaned on her arm.

The two of them are tired of being together, but they don't feel hot. Especially the orchid has just taken a bath, and there is a faint soapy fragrance in the hair.

"Man Yin, you said I would go back to Shuangshui Village tomorrow, how about inviting our dad and our dad to come over and watch TV?"

Buying a TV at home is a big deal, and she wants her parents to come over and take a look.

"Okay, anyway, we have a place at home, so it's good for them to bring Huzi and Yajie over for two days."

Since the roasting workshop moved to the opposite side, Wang Manyin's remaining three-hole cave has been idle most of the time, except for putting some grain and sundries.

As long as you spread a mat on the ground, you can live at night.

"After all these years of marriage, I always feel like a dream. I didn't have to worry about food and clothing when I got married, and now I have bought a house in Huangyuan City, and I even have a TV. Our family's day, even the Shibi Festival, can be counted...... "Many times, orchids feel that their lives are a little too good.

"Rest assured, it's only going to get better. Not to mention TV, in the future, we can buy telephones, motorcycles, and even cars...... When I buy a car, I'll take you on a trip. ”

"Hmm" For what her husband said, Orchid naturally did not doubt it.

It's just that the next moment, she pushed her husband's hand again: "Aren't you too hot?" ”

The old husband and wife, Wang Manyin made a move, and Orchid immediately knew what he wanted to do.

"Don't ...... it"

At this time, the heat has dissipated, and the cave is getting cooler and cooler, at most more than 20 degrees.

Wang Manyin was born in four or seven years, and is six or seven years old in Chinese New Year's Eve. However, because he drinks space water every day, his physical fitness is still at his peak, and it is still easy to carry a sack weighing more than 200 pounds.

The same is true of orchids, although she is Chinese New Year's Eve four years old, the years do not seem to have left too many traces on her, but are getting more and more rounded.

"Hmm...... Turn off the lights. ”

A new day begins with the sound of cicadas as usual.

When Orchid woke up, she took her husband's hand away and got up to get dressed.

Wang Manyin was alarmed and attached his body again.

"Don't make a fuss,"

Leaning on her husband's arms for a while, Orchid went down to the kang to cook.

Wang Manyin got dressed and walked out of the cave, refreshed.

After washing his face and filling the courtyard sink and tank with water, he began to tending to the vegetable patch by the side of the field.

Habit becomes natural, getting up every day and not doing some work, Wang Manyin always feels that there is something missing.

Now it's time to make beans, and the two rows of shelves are skewered in bunches, and the shelves are about to be bent.

Within two minutes of entering the ground, Wang Manyin picked a large bundle.

Then eggplant, peppers, tomatoes...... In this vegetable garden, I can now pick more than a dozen catties of vegetables a day. I can't eat it at all, so I usually give it to the workers who are working.

After picking vegetables, there is also watermelon and melon.

Then, start watering......

After breakfast, Wang Manyin first went to the workshop for a turn, followed by a soil dog, two cats and a peregrine falcon, and went to Pimple Ridge to check the situation of the melon field.

When he encountered floods before, Wang Manyin had no hope for dozens of acres of melon fields.

I didn't expect the results to be much better than expected. Now as far as the eye can see, the entire cliff ditch is shrouded in green, and bowl-sized melons still appear in the melon seedlings.

When the melons are about to ripen, new troubles will follow.

Two days ago, Wang Lianshun came to the door and said that there were many mouse holes in the melon field, and there were also wild beasts such as hares and hedgehogs.

So taking advantage of today's time, Wang Manyin plans to clean it up thoroughly.

After greeting Wang Lianshun, he took a few animals to search for them in the melon field.

Wang Lianshun wanted to help, but Wang Manyin refused. The old man has bad legs and feet, and it won't be of much use to follow, so it's better to continue to rest in the shed.

Not far away, a hare escaped from under the seedlings.

The three dogs quickly entered the battle mode, and they drove away behind them with a bark. At this time, the peregrine falcon hovering in the air swooped down and fell rapidly......

After several years of training, the cooperation of several guys has become more and more tacit.

In less than half a minute, a hare died.

Add a dish exactly at noon.

Soon, another squirrel hole was found.

Wang Manyin directly picked two buckets of water and poured them down, and after a while, two weasels escaped in embarrassment. didn't wait to run away, and was quickly chased and bitten to death by the cats.

Wang Manyin's family was not short of meat, and he didn't plan to eat yellow rats, so he simply dug a pit and buried it directly.

In a circle, there were seven or eight rat holes, and many of the various rats were killed, and the biggest harvest was two hares. The pest beasts in the cliff ditch are empty.

For Wang Manyin, as long as there are a few animals present, catching a hare is as simple as finding a bag.

The weather is too hot, and the hare meat will turn bad after a long time.

So he didn't dare to delay, and after leaving one for Wang Lianshun, he hurriedly carried the remaining one home.

When he got home, Wang Manyin only saw a few children eating watermelon, and there was no father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He couldn't help asking, "What about our parents and our parents?" ”

"If you want to greet the consignment point, why don't you come," mentioning this stubble, Orchid was a little helpless.

Parents have always had such a temper, as long as they know that their daughter is doing well, they are easily unwilling to disturb the two of them.

Except for the New Year's holidays, he rarely visits the door.

***

Not surprisingly, before it got dark, Wang Manyin's family kept having children coming to the door.

By half-past eight, the stadium was already full of people, even more than last night.

When the call came, "Huo Yuanjia" had already played more than half an episode. This made many people depressed and kept saying hello to the electrician's family.

At half past ten, the program ended, and they were reluctant to leave as usual.

For the next few days, it was all the way.

To tell the truth, Wang Manyin was a little annoyed. He always felt that he was a bit reckless in buying this TV, and he was shooting himself in the foot.

Every night before they have eaten, there is a large group of broken babies waiting, even more active than going to school.

In fact, the children are okay to say, and the key is that there are adults who come to chat when it gets dark, waiting for the TV to start.

You can't help but entertain when you come...... And from the beginning to the end of the TV, Wang Manyin and his family have to accompany him.

They can't breathe a sigh of relief until they send everyone away.

This day is more tiring than work.

In addition, it is hot in summer, and it is easy for people to get thirsty when they get together to watch TV, and the water tank in Wang Manyin's courtyard can be drunk half of the water in one night.

It's just a matter of drinking water, mainly now these broken babies are getting bolder and bolder. I was anxious to urinate during the way to watch TV, and I didn't want to run far, so I stood on the edge of the field and released water.

When I woke up in the morning, I smelled of urine everywhere.

What's even more speechless is that there are children who secretly on the sidelines.

When Wang Manyin brushed his teeth in the morning, he almost stepped on it. He deliberately explained to these guys one by one, but it didn't work, and he should pee back.

The villagers in the township, Wang Manyin couldn't do anything to drive people away. In addition, they are all children, and they can't be cared for.

He discussed it with Orchid, and simply moved the TV venue to the dirt road below, and asked Mao Dan to help greet him by the way.

This not only allows everyone to watch TV, but also allows them to have some personal space, at least without having to greet people at any time.

It doesn't take much to move around, it's just a wire. Wait for the TV to finish, and by the way, let the hairy eggs receive them in the small workshop.

There is no TV in the house, and the children do not come early to keep watch.

Orchid agrees with her husband's idea. Although she was not impatient, she also understood that this was not the way to go. There are always busy times at home, so it's impossible to entertain people every day.

Sure enough, after changing the broadcast location, my house was immediately much cleaner.

However, what Wang Manyin didn't expect was that after Mao Dan put on the TV a few times, he came up with a new trick.

When it was almost dark, this guy ran over and said, "Uncle Man Yin, I just brought back a good thing from the street, and we can watch TV without electricity in the future." ”

"What the hell, you bought a battery?" Wang Manyin asked confusedly.

He has a few large batteries at home, and it will definitely work for a TV. However, these batteries are used to drive the roasting machine during the day, and of course they cannot be wasted on watching TV.

So when he heard the mysterious words of the Mao Dan God, he thought of this for the first time.

"No, they all said that they don't use electricity, guess again?" This guy is still selling off.

Wang Manyin guessed a few times, and his curiosity was completely aroused: "What the hell is it?" ”

"You can come and see it, Bike Generator! I just borrowed them from the Commune projection team, and they're no longer in use,"

When Wang Manyin saw this strange-shaped bicycle, he directly said a good guy.

In order to be able to watch TV for a while, Mao Dan is also quite hard.

The structure of this bicycle generator is not complicated and simple, that is, a belt is added to the rear wheel hub of the car, and a small generator is connected to the other end. Then the motor is driven to generate electricity by manually rotating the pedal.

Wang Manyin is no stranger to this thing.

At the earliest, the original Xixian projection team used bicycle generators to show movies to the communes below.

Before each movie, the commune would find a few young and strong young men, let them have a good meal, and then pedal their bicycles to generate electricity.
