In the 80s, the per capita housing area in the provincial capital was only a few square meters.

The Shen family lived in two rooms. One is used as a bedroom for adults, and the other is used as a living room, and half of the living room is equipped with a bed, separated by a curtain, where the children sleep.

On one side of the door, there is a high and low cabinet, and on the counter is a 14-inch black and white TV. Inside the glass cabinet door, there are glass sugar jars, tea cans, Guogong wine, kettles and a few water cups. There are two chairs, two stools, and a small wooden table that can be folded in the open space.

There is a briquette stove in the hallway, which is the place to cook food and boil water. There are hundreds of briquettes neatly stacked next to the stove.

Every household in the small courtyard is like this.

At this moment, it is noon, and the women of several families in the corridor are stir-frying, and the aromas of various dishes are floating and mixing in the air, which brings out people's laughter.

Shen's mother, Fang Peihua, stood in front of the stove in the corridor, holding a vegetable spoon in her hand, bent over slightly, and quickly stir-fried the chili peppers and meat in the pot.

Shen's father, Shen Guoming, sat in the room, crossed Erlang's legs, and was flipping through a newspaper. He is in his early forties, wears glasses on his face, and wears a white long-sleeved shirt and navy blue trousers at home even on a hot day, and a pair of plastic sandals on his feet, which is his last compromise this summer.

The younger sister, Shen Xiuling, was wearing a white floral dress, sitting on a chair with bare feet, her legs were slender and slender, and her feet were as clear as jade. She wears two loose braids, long bangs on her forehead, a delicate face, clear big eyes, exudes a girl's fresh breath from the inside out, a small red lip, a bit of clever appearance, and her complexion is as white as egg white.

She was holding a book in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the 14-inch Peony brand black-and-white TV.

"Blood Suspicion" is being shown on TV.

This is an imported Japanese drama, which can be described as a household name in the era of black and white TV, and in the following decades, the fate of characters such as hospital bag dropping, incurable disease, and desperate love has been imitated and borrowed several times, although it seems that the plot is bloody, but the bizarre plot and romantic love in the play have earned enough tears from men, women and children back then, and once became the audience's favorite.

As a must-see idol drama for thousands of families in the 80s, "Blood Suspicion" is the most moving love story of this era. The protagonists, Momoe Yamaguchi and Tomokazu Miura, became the best synonym for the golden boy and girl at that time.

No wonder Shen Xiuling watched it with relish.

She's in high school. Because she encountered the reform of the three-year high school system, she still had to take the college entrance examination for a year before she could take the college entrance examination.

Shen Xiulan and Li Yunhai approached the door and shouted crisply: "Mom! ”

Fang Peihua replied without looking back: "Xiulan is back!" It's time to eat! ”

Li Yunhai shouted: "Hello Auntie! ”

Fang Peihua was stir-frying, not noticing him.

Shen Xiulan said: "Mom, the sea of clouds is calling you!" ”

Only then did Fang Peihua raise his head and look at Li Yunhai standing beside him: "Yo, you are Li Yunhai, right?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Hello Auntie, I'm Li Yunhai, I'm presumptuous, and I'm so disturbed." ”

Fang Peihua said: "Come into the house and sit, Xiulan, greet the guests." ”

Li Yunhai entered the house, stood at the door, and shouted with a smile: "Uncle, Xiaoling, hello." ”

Shen Guoming looked up at Li Yunhai: "Little comrade, who are you?" ”

Shen Xiuling pursed her lips, her big eyes shining: "Dad, do you still need to ask?" He must be the Li Yunhai who wrote to my sister as soon as he was on vacation! I've seen graduation photos of him and my sister! ”

Shen Guoming put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "You are Li Yunhai?" The lad is good-looking! Come in and sit. ”

Shen Xiulan followed in and called out to her sister: "Xiaoling, get up and give up your seat!" Go make tea. ”

She took the fruit and wine in Li Yunhai's hand, put them on the table, and said to her father: "Dad, this is what Yunhai bought to honor you." ”

Shen Guoming smiled: "Come on, what else to buy?" ”

Shen Xiuling stretched out her hand, quickly broke off a banana, and said while peeling it: "Sister, why should I give up my seat?" He's a big man, and he won't let me, a little girl? ”

She didn't watch TV anymore, stared at Li Yunhai tightly, and said with a grin: "Hey, Li Yunhai, your handwriting is very beautiful!" As clean and powerful as yours! ”

Li Yunhai scratched his head and smiled: "It's okay." ”

Shen Xiuling chuckled: "Li Yunhai, are you saying that your people are okay?" Or is your handwriting okay? ”

Shen Xiulan scolded: "Xiaoling, it's not big or small!" How do you call Yunhai by his name? ”

Shen Xiuling said with a smile: "This is embarrassing for me, call him brother-in-law, it's too early." Call him Comrade Li? Inevitably, it looks too rusty again! Just call him by name! Li Yunhai, don't you say? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, the name is taken, and it is for people to shout." ”

Shen Xiulan said: "The title is also shouted!" Xiaoling, shout Brother Yunhai! ”

Shen Xiuling raised her chin unconvinced, and turned her face to watch TV.

Shen Xiulan stretched out her hand and poked her sister's forehead: "After eating other people's things, you still don't change your mouth?" ”

Shen Xiuling stuffed the banana into her mouth and tilted her head: "Sister, you let me stop watching TV!" ”

Fang Peihua came in with the dishes, put them on the table, wiped his hands on his apron, and smiled at Li Yunhai: "I always heard Xiulan mention you, saying that you like to play basketball and write poetry. You've also helped Xiulan fight, haven't you? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Auntie, these are my hobbies, and my real skills are not these." Speaking of fighting, there have been such things. Once, when our school held a basketball game with the Civil Affairs School, two boys from the Civil Affairs School bullied Xiulan, and I helped to solve the siege. ”

Fang Peihua said: "It's not as simple as breaking the siege, you beat the two of them alone, and you still won!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "I am a rural baby, I have been used to doing physical work since I was a child, and my strength is greater than theirs. ”

Fang Peihua said: "Don't stand, you sit!" We've always wanted to treat you to a meal and thank you for saving my family, Xiulan. ”

Shen Xiulan moved a wooden stool for Li Yunhai to sit down.

There were already several dishes on the table, all covered with bowls.

Fang Peihua opened the lid of a large bowl, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing, it was actually a stewed chicken.

In addition, there is a stir-fried pork with green peppers, a sweet and sour pork ribs, and a scrambled egg with a red pestle, and a green vegetable.

This meal can be regarded as extremely rich.

Fang Peihua beckoned Li Yunhai to eat, opened the bottle of Xizhou Daqu again, and poured a large cup for each of the two men.

Li Yunhai picked up the cup and saluted Shen Guoming: "Uncle, I toast you." ”

Shen Guoming looked at him and smiled: "Toast me?" That's a cup of two taels! Do you drink? ”

Li Yunhai drank alcohol in his later life, but at this age, he has just graduated and has not yet learned to drink!

Fang Peihua said: "Don't be reckless if you don't drink, just drink slowly, don't toast, it's easy to get drunk." ”

Li Yunhai is a manly man, a pit of spit, the words he says, the water that is spilled, not to mention that today this is to respect the old man, how can there be any reason to admit it?

He took the glass, grunted a few times, and drank the glass of wine.

Shen Guoming laughed and said, "What a lot of wine!" ”

Shen Xiulan sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in Li Yunhai's bowl: "Eat some food and press the wine." ”

Fang Peihua asked, "Li Yunhai, your hometown is from Meishan County?" Rural? ”

Shen Xiulan said: "Mom, Yunhai has come out of the exam, and the grain relationship has also been transferred, and he will be a city hukou who eats national grain in the future." ”

Fang Peihua said: "I didn't ask you, don't intervene!" ”

Li Yunhai replied respectfully: "Auntie, yes, I am from the countryside of Meishan County. ”

Fang Peihua said: "How many people are in your family?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "My grandparents are here, my father and my mother, and I have two younger brothers and two younger sisters. ”

Fang Peihua sighed: "So many children? Life is hard, isn't it? ”

Li Yunhai replied yes.

Shen Xiulan said: "Mom, it's really not easy for Yunhai to pass the test. It also shows that his family attaches great importance to education! His younger siblings are very good at reading! ”

Fang Peihua glared at her eldest daughter, blamed her for being too talkative, and asked Li Yunhai again: "After you graduate, where will you be assigned to work?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Meishan County Machinery Factory. ”

Shen Xiulan said: "Yunhai will temporarily return to Meishan County to work, and he will definitely be able to transfer back to the provincial capital in the future!" ”

Fang Peihua said: "Transfer back to the provincial capital? You say it lightly! Your uncle has been together for more than ten years, and your uncle has been back in the city for many years, but he hasn't transferred his wife yet! ”

Shen Guoming said: "It is indeed very difficult to transfer the working relationship now. You young people don't know what's going on here! A few years ago, tens of millions of educated youths returned to the city, waiting for work assignments! ”

Fang Peihua said: "Li Yunhai, Xiulan is assigned to work as an accountant in the Provincial City Commercial Bureau, do you know this?" ”

Li Yunhai snorted and said that he knew.

He had already heard a little bit of the spearhead, and the Shen family's parents had been interrogating him about his origin and work whereabouts, just to make him recognize the reality.

The Shen family's parents have always opposed him being with their daughter, that is, because of the separation between the two places.

Li Yunhai can especially understand this kind of thinking of the Shen family's parents.

If it were him, he would have thought and done the same.

Don't look at the provincial capital and Meishan County, which are only 100 kilometers away, and only need 1.9 yuan for a ticket to take the train, but these 100 kilometers are an insurmountable gap. How many people are poor all their lives, and it is difficult to transfer their work relationships!

In fact, Li Yunhai was also the case, until he was laid off and divorced, his work relationship still remained in Meishan County.

Fang Peihua said: "Li Yunhai, you saved my family Xiulan, and our whole family is very grateful to you." You and my family Xiulan are talking about friends, and we know a little bit about it. In the past, you were studying in the same school, and we didn't want to say much, for fear of disturbing your studies. Now that you have graduated and gone your separate ways, you will definitely find a friend who is more suitable for you when you return to Meishan County. As for my family Xiulan, when she arrives in her new job, she will also meet more excellent friends in the provincial capital. ”

She spoke tactfully, but the meaning was clear. In fact, all she had to say was "You must be separated"!

Of course, Li Yunhai understood that the table full of good wine and good food in front of him was not fragrant in an instant!

If you can't get it right, the matter between him and Shen Xiulan will be messed up!

I shouldn't have come here if I knew I wouldn't have come here!

If he didn't come, the Shen family's parents would not have a chance to refuse him in person.

Just like in his previous life, when he and Shen Xiulan lived separately and exchanged letters for two or three years, their relationship became more stable, they cooked raw rice into cooked rice, and privately ripped off the marriage certificate, and after they were pregnant with a child, it was too late for the Shen family to object, and they had to agree to this marriage.

Shen Xiulan obviously heard the meaning of her mother's words, bit her lip and said, "Mom, you don't have to say a word!" I and the sea of clouds are free ......"

Fang Peihua said in a deep voice: "Xiulan! You shut up! Adults talk, children don't interject! ”

Shen Xiulan's face was aggrieved, and tears flashed faintly in her pretty eyes.

Li Yunhai slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled slightly: "Auntie, Xiulan and I are classmates, friends, and lovers. Yes, Xiulan and I are in a relationship. We've been in love for two years now. From the day I rescued her, we started dating. ”

He's in a showdown!

He sounded the horn of attacking the Shen family's parents!

He's going to fight to defend his love!

Of course, Shen Xiulan would not let him fight alone, and added beside him: "It was the sea of clouds that I took the initiative to pursue, and I confessed to him first!" Because I like him! ”

The living room fell silent in an instant.

The Shen family looked at them in shock.

The little girl Shen Xiuling had a big chicken leg in her mouth, forgot to bite, her big eyes bulged round, and she stared at Li Yunhai.

Shen Guoming coughed lightly: "Don't talk about this kind of thing during dinner!" ”

Fang Peihua said: "No, this matter must be made clear!" Li Yunhai, you say, you and my family Xiulan are in love? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, Auntie." We are in free love, I made an appointment with Xiulan, and three years later, I will marry him, and she will marry me. ”

Shen Xiuling's big eyes swept over and over, looked at Li Yunhai, then at her sister, and then at her mother.

Obviously, this family war is even better than the TV series!

Fang Peihua was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Three years? All right! I'm not unreasonable. You are a talent, you have a serious unit, and you are a national worker, so I have no reason to object to your normal interactions. However, I only have one request, and if you do it, then I have nothing to say! Otherwise, without our objections, the long and boring time and the geographical distance that is difficult to cross will also break you apart! ”

Shen Xiulan choked back her tears and said in a firm tone: "Mom, it's impossible!" No one can tear me apart from the sea of clouds! ”

Fang Peihua said: "Xiulan, you are still young, you don't know what you need in life!" I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice! Love is beautiful, but it can't be eaten! I am your mother, I want you to live happily and happily more than anyone else, and I will not harm you. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Auntie, I know what the conditions you want to mention are. Is it that within three years, if I can settle down in the provincial capital, you will agree that I will be with Xiulan? ”

He preemptively stated the conditions.

However, he asked for a Qiaozong, and did not say that he would move his work relationship to the provincial capital within three years, but said that he would settle down in the provincial capital.

Settling down is a very important concept. This concept contains two aspects: one is to settle down, and the other is to establish a life. Settling in is about living in a comfortable, harmonious and safe family environment, while settling in is about making the most of one's potential and realizing one's self-worth.

Li Yunhai also understands that even if he has a reborn soul, it is not very difficult to move his work relationship to the provincial capital in this era, and he may not be able to achieve it if he is given three years.

However, if he just wants to settle a home in the provincial capital and start a business, it is not difficult to do it.

Three years later, it's 1987! There will be great changes in the state's policy, and Li Yunhai believes that it will not be difficult to carve out a world of his own in the provincial capital by virtue of his own ability and ability.

Sure enough, Fang Peihua followed Li Yunhai's words and said, "Yes! I have such a request to you, within three years, if you can come to the provincial capital to settle down, then I have no objection to you falling in love. However, if you don't do it, I also have a request, I hope that the two of you will recognize the situation and find a happy life that is more suitable for you! ”

Li Yunhai said: "Auntie, then it's decided!" Your Shen family is a scholarly family, you are all intellectuals, I believe you will not deceive me as a simple boy from the countryside. ”

This is called flattery, but it is actually the army of the Shen family's parents!

Although Shen Xiuling was small, she also understood, couldn't help laughing, laughed, and sprayed all the rice grains in her mouth onto Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai calmly dusted off the grains of rice stuck to his body one by one, and said, "Xiaoling, you are our witness." Within three years, if I come to the provincial capital to establish a firm foothold, you will call me brother-in-law, and I will buy bananas for you to eat every day. Good no good? ”

Shen Xiuling sighed, her big eyes were dripping and rolling, and she wiped a handful of oily little mouths: "It's still my business?" You talk, I'll watch TV. ”

Fang Peihua caressed his heart, calmed down his excited mood, and said calmly: "Okay! Li Yunhai, in the past three years, you are not allowed to deceive my family Xiulan! She is simple and ignorant! ”

Li Yunhai said: "Auntie, don't worry. I don't need to deceive Xiulan, if a girl really likes me, she will lie to herself. ”

Fang Peihua and her husband looked at each other and were speechless.

Shen Xiuling held back a smile and gave Li Yunhai a thumbs up: "Li Yunhai, you are so smart!" No wonder you can make my sister like you! ”

Li Yunhai said: "Xiaoling, you have won the prize." ”

Shen Xiulan's eyes still had tears in them, but in the tears, there was starlight shining!

Why didn't you see that this man's conversation was so charming? It's so fascinating!

At this time, the TV suddenly went silent, and the screen flashed and went out.

Shen Xiuling shouted: "Oh, look good, why is there a power outage?" ”

Fang Peihua got up and pulled the rope of the electric light, and the light in the living room turned on.

Shen Guoming said: "There is no power outage. It's the TV that's broken! Xiaoling, you go and move the plug to see if the plug is loose. ”

Shen Xiuling, who had been reluctant to get up, moved faster than anyone else at this time, and immediately ran over, moved the plug, pulled it out again, and plugged it back in.

However, the TV did not respond at all.

Fang Peihua said: "Why is it broken again?" It only cost 20 yuan to fix it last time! ”

Shen Xiuling stretched out her hand and slapped the TV with an anxious face.

Shen Guoming shouted: "Xiaoling, don't fight!" What should I do if the shot is broken? ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Uncle, Xiaoling slapped the TV, this can be regarded as a test, if it is a poor contact, or there is a situation of virtual welding, it really works to shoot a few times." ”

Shen Guoming said: "Oh? Is it? Do you know how to fix it? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Uncle, I learned radio, and I really know how to repair this kind of machine. Why don't I take a look? ”

Shen Guoming waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you can take a look!" ”

Li Yunhai got up, checked the TV, confirmed that the signal source was correct, adjusted the control knob, and plugged in and unplugged the cables, but when he saw that it didn't work, he asked, "Xiulan, do you have a starter at home?" It's a screwdriver, bring me one, and I'll open the lid to see what's wrong. ”

Shen Xiulan got up and went to find a screwdriver.

Fang Peihua asked curiously: "Li Yunhai, do you still repair the TV?" Do you have a TV at home? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Auntie, my family is poor and I haven't bought a TV yet!" ”

Fang Peihua said: "Then have you repaired the TV before?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "I haven't repaired it. However, the structure of the TV set is not complicated. Let me see how it goes! ”

While talking, Shen Xiulan took two screwdrivers, both cross and one, and handed them to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai first unplugged the TV set, cut off the power supply, took out the antenna plug, and then held the TV with one hand, tilted it, and unscrewed the fixing screws on the back cover.

Shen Xiuling bent over curiously, watched Li Yunhai disassemble the TV, and asked, "Hey, will you fix it?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "It depends on what the problem is, if the picture tube is old or damaged, then I can't repair it, so I can only go to the repair shop to replace the picture tube." I can fix the general minor problems! ”

Shen Xiulan asked in a low voice, "Yunhai, are you really good at cultivating?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "What's so difficult about this? You forgot? That's how I learned radio! My real specialty is repairing! Playing basketball and writing poetry are all fun, and only this ability can be used to make money to support you. ”

Shen Xiulan's pretty face was slightly dizzy: "I don't want you to raise me, I have a job." Hey, what's going on with this TV? Why doesn't it light up? ”

Li Yunhai pointed to the circuit board in the TV and said: "Let me tell you, the black-and-white TV has no light, no sound, and the CRT filament is not bright, which is nothing more than three reasons. One is that the power supply is in poor contact or the power cord, transformer, fuse, etc. are open. The second is the poor rectifier circuit. The third is that the load circuit is short-circuited to the ground. ”

He saw that Fang Peihua had been staring at the side, so he smiled lightly: "Auntie, I haven't eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run." I don't have a TV at home, and that doesn't stop me from fixing it. Don't worry, I won't break your TV. I'm just going to fix it for the better! ”

Fang Peihua really had such worries and suspicions, and at this moment, Li Yunhai saw through his thoughts, and he was not annoyed, but said: "Just be careful!" ”

Li Yunhai does not have a multimeter or other measuring instrument in his hand, so he can only judge it by relying on his decades of maintenance experience. In later life, he helped people repair all kinds of electrical appliances when he had nothing to do, and later he opened a company that was also related to various electrical appliances and after-sales maintenance, and he was extremely familiar with this industry.

The workmanship of the old machine is solid, and the design and layout inside are also made with reference to Oriental televisions, which is very industrial and artistic.

Fang Peihua asked, "Li Yunhai, you've been watching it for a long time, how are you?" Can you tell what's wrong? ”

Shen Xiulan said: "Mom, Yunhai just opened the lid, not even for a minute!" How can it be so exaggerated as you say half a day? You've got to give him time, right? If you take it outside to repair, don't other masters have to take the time to check it? ”

Fang Peihua was dumbfounded by her eldest daughter.

Li Yunhai disassembled the circuit board, first checked whether there was a virtual soldering in the field block, and then checked whether there was any problem with the field width adjustment.

Suddenly, he said, "I've found the problem." ”
