This was CCTV's first Spring Festival Gala, and it was also a milestone for Chinese TV programs. At that time, black and white TV had been basically popularized in big cities across the country. Since then, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala has become an important way for TV viewers to celebrate the Spring Festival and has become a

It’s an audio-visual feast held by the common people every New Year’s Eve.

Fang Monan's small home of more than ten square meters was filled with people from her family members who had not gone home for the New Year. They all came to watch the party. People still watched the party with great interest on the black and white TV. She looked at the host and some actors wearing

The clothes, lighting and stage design she drew were obviously much better than in her previous life. Moreover, she also saw Han Zhiqian as an audience member at the party, and the camera kept focusing on him. His appearance and temperament were different from ordinary people, not as good as on stage.

It's a celebrity. I guess he gave a lot of suggestions to the party. It seems that they in the south are going to be busy again.

Fang Monan made an exception and didn't go to bed until ten o'clock. In the haze, he could still hear the voices of adults in the outer room, the singing on the TV and the sound of eating melon seeds.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my grandpa’s house to pay New Year greetings. This year, my mother knew that she was keeping a low profile. She made her own clothes instead of wearing the beautiful clothes that Han Zhiqian and the others sent her as a New Year’s gift. Under the smiling faces of grandma and the others, what they heard was

They said sarcastic words without any pain, and left after saying New Year greetings. There happened to be a van going to the provincial capital. After lunch on the first day of the new year, they took advantage of the car to return to the county town. They were afraid of losing the only valuable thing at home, the TV.

I asked my mother and the others to send it to a neighbor’s house to store it.[

When they got home, Liang Zi, aunt, and Mo Bei dragged Fang Monan to the north room. This posture was like a three-party interrogation! If you don't complete the song you sang on the night of the 29th of the New Year, you can't even think about going out.

Fang Monan looked at them like hungry wolves and begged for mercy: "Sing as long as you want, but I can't remember some of the lyrics, so please be patient."

Fang Monan not only sang but also had to fill in the lyrics all afternoon. For the lyrics that he really couldn't remember, Fang Monan simply filled them in by himself according to the artistic conception, which seemed decent. When the music didn't go right, Mobei polished it up in time and finally smoothed things over.

.

By the way, I heard my aunt talk about my uncle's "embarrassing things". In fact, it was nothing. It was just that my uncle was beaten by his aunt. On New Year's Eve, when my uncle brought the children to pay New Year's greetings, he had a few "cat scratch marks" on his face.

, it was obviously scratched by a woman’s nails.

It is said that it was because of the color TV issue. My eldest aunt was muttering at home, saying that she was not capable of marrying a man. She thought he was a good worker, but now she can't even watch a black and white TV. She thought she would marry a man.

I didn’t expect that I was here to be a mother-in-law, taking care of the old and the young. Who would have thought that my sister-in-law was so powerful that her mother-in-law didn’t want to see her, and even my wealthy relatives didn’t even meet her. What a miserable life!

"Ha... I really thought you were a charming young lady from a landlord's family. When I married her, I had to use you as my grandma to provide for her. She also served the old man and was so full of talk that she wasn't afraid of losing my tongue. I haven't given your grandma a penny since we got married.

It's your duty to serve your man and children, it's not your fault." My aunt retorted with sharp teeth and an angry face.

This can be regarded as the follow-up to the color TV set at my uncle's house. From now on, I rarely hear words coming from there. They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It can be seen that the relationship between neighbors is very harmonious at this time. Unlike later generations, you don't know who is opposite you after living there for so long.

.The eyes of the common people are sharp. No matter how thick-skinned the uncle and his wife are, they dare not take any action. If they go too far, they can only be bad-mouthed and make irresponsible remarks.

Just like last year, starting from the third grade of junior high school, groups of relatives from the countryside brought their own chickens and ducks alive, and the dead ones were kept for a short time. Eggs and weaved coarse cloth by ourselves were obviously better than last year.

It shows that life has really changed a lot. When I talk about things at home, the smile on my face never stops.

After eating and drinking to celebrate the New Year, the family followed their grandma to the Lingshan Mountain to worship Buddha and burn incense on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. After the Lantern Festival and lighting the paper lanterns, the year was over. The students went to school, the mother went to work, and the father returned to the city.

Grandma continued her small business. Fang Monan and Mobei continued to study with Mr. Lin.

************************************

County Magistrate Wang should no longer be called Secretary Wang now. Due to his outstanding political achievements, the old county party secretary retired years ago when he reached the end of his life, and he straightened things up on the spot. The leadership team of the county party committee all know about the existence of this donation, but they can see whether they can eat it or not!

Can't take it out.

Because of the cold winter, the road construction was not allowed, so this matter was delayed. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the first thing County Magistrate Wang (Wang Binghua) did after returning home was to find his eldest brother Wang Bingzhong. "Tell me! What's the matter? What's going on?"

Drag me to your bedroom, secretly." Wang Bingzhong looked at the mysterious look of his third brother in amusement.

"Brother, look." Wang Binghua handed the check to his eldest brother.

"Tsk tsk... Xiaosan'er, I didn't expect you! How did you become a millionaire quietly with so much money?" Mr. Wang laughed and joked. "But this account can be viewed in Hong Kong.

You can’t eat it!”

"Fortunately, it's in Hong Kong. Otherwise, if I had taken it out, the county would have cut off some of it and given it welfare benefits." Wang Binghua curled his lips with disdain on his face.

"Really, you are already the top leader in the county, but you are still so unstable." Boss Wang pretended to be angry. "This is what I am talking about here. Don't talk nonsense when you go out."

"I don't know this yet, so I'm just complaining here." Wang Binghua sat on the bed, "Brother, do me a favor and take out this money."

"This money is..." Boss Wang asked curiously.

"This is the money donated to our county by Hong Kong businessmen for road construction." Wang Binghua said solemnly.[

"Ah!" Boss Wang sat up straight and listened to the third brother's detailed explanation, "It's really rare, especially for Auntie Mo. You also know that with the reform and opening up, let's not talk about things that are far away, just talk about what we can see. But in the ordinary world

Any family with some overseas connections would not buy some imported home appliances for their own family first. Aunt Mo’s family is so generous!” Boss Wang was filled with emotion. Although it was nominally donated by Cheng Shigui and the others, no Aunt Mo’s consent was given.

Can it be done?

"I know this. Although they asked not to make a big show of it, I will come to thank you personally." Wang Binghua said, "By the way, when can I get the money."

"You can get it at any time." Boss Wang said.

"Brother, let's discuss something. You see, this money is donated by others to build roads. You need U.S. dollars, and I want RMB. Can you exchange more for me?" Wang Binghua's abacus jingled.

"Okay! What do I say? Why did you call me here, and I was waiting here?" Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll give you more batches."

"Okay! Thank you, brother." After Wang Binghua finished talking about the business, the two chatted some more. Then they heard the women at home coming back from shopping.

Wang Binghua's lover stole the show today, and she couldn't be more beautiful. Thanks to the membership card he gave her, not only were the clothes discounted by 30%, but the service was attentive and meticulous, making her sisters-in-law envious.

Everyone has vanity.

All in all, Wang Binghua and the others are living very well this year.

******************************

Years later, Secretary Wang blocked the special fund of more than 10 million yuan for road construction. The reform and opening up had just begun, and perhaps everyone was afraid of poverty. For the sake of the common people or his own promotion path, the county quickly passed it unanimously without any obstacles.

.

After nearly a year of getting to know each other, Fang Monan knew that Secretary Wang was good at his job. He managed the greenhouse vegetables in a very impressive manner and also highlighted off-season vegetables. The vegetables were put on the market one month earlier than normal, which showed that he had put in a lot of effort.

She pays special attention to the fact that farmers receive their money from selling vegetables on time and never defaults. In her eyes, he is a good cadre now.

The common people are the kindest, and they honestly hope that Lord Qingtian will appear more often, but in reality things often go against their expectations. Since ancient times, the common people have had a "Qingtian" complex, which has penetrated into the marrow of our national culture. Even to the enlightenment of modern rule of law thought

Today, more than a hundred years later, this complex still controls our thinking mode. In the film and television works seen by later generations, whether it is ancient palace dramas or modern good and evil forces, the conventional plot development model is that the good guys are in the beginning.

It was an extremely unfavorable situation, but at the critical moment, Qingtian appeared. After many obstacles, he finally killed all the bad guys. As a result, justice was finally served, grievances were avenged, the weak were protected, and both the director and the audience were happy. That is just art, reality

Ordinary people do not expect that officials will not be greedy. People without greed cannot exist, and those who do not serve themselves will be punished by heaven and earth! But we only hope that those officials will not be greedy in matters related to human life! What a low bottom line, what a pity!

***************************

Fang Monan's hometown is located in a plain area, with high west and low east. To the west is Lingshan Mountain, which is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is a hilly area. Looking to the east is a plain with thousands of miles of fertile fields. In the first month of the year, in early spring, Fang Monan

Nan and the others planned to tidy up the barren mountains and wasteland on the contracted land. First, she and Mr. Lin conducted on-site inspections, sketches, and designs together. In the past, they used to see them in the cold winter, and they were all bare. But this season, sprouts have begun to sprout, and the mountains

Covered with a layer of green, the slopes facing the sun are covered with vines that are growing gently and have just sprouted. As you climb over the slopes, which are somewhat steep and go deeper, you can see from a closer look that there are common wild vegetables all over the mountains and plains, including: horse

Amaranth, Artemisia arborescens, field rice, Houttuynia cordata, bracken, wolfberry buds, mountain leeks, dandelions and plantains, as well as wild jujubes and persimmon trees. If it were twenty years later, there would be money everywhere! What a pity.

Now it is garbage that no one wants. If we continue walking down the mountain, in the valley, there are patches of wild mountain mushrooms, including straw mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, hericium, etc. These valuable things do not need her to manage, so they can just keep them.

good.

After a day of investigation, there were no more wild vegetables, and all that was left were withered and yellow weeds with little economic value. It seemed that after cleaning up, some fruit trees could be planted.

Before the weather gets warmer, we have to quickly enclose the land and level the site. People will be wrong for a while, and the land will be wrong for a year.

After getting busy, I felt that there were not enough manpower, and the only ones left at home were the old, the weak, and the disabled. At the critical moment, I recruited my father back, and the construction company didn't even start work in the freezing weather! After Dachengzi heard about it, he couldn't get away and asked for help.

Some honest and hard-working farmers came to help. With the help of errands, I asked my father to find someone to build the fence and ten bungalows first. After calculating the cost, he discussed the money issue with his grandma, and whether my father would live or die.

No, working for your own family can cost you money! No matter what grandma says, she can’t let dad and the others work in vain, so an extra 10% of the overall budget is considered a profit, so it shouldn’t be too little.

In March, spring comes and flowers bloom, and the county begins to build roads. Now the best roads must be built. All the money will be used to build roads. Build as many roads as you can. No misappropriation is allowed. Roads leading to villages will be built first.

The circulation and transportation of vegetables and aquaculture cannot be hindered. The construction company is actually the construction company in the city where dad works, and he is in charge of it. It can be regarded as reciprocating the favor! So dad explained some of the little tail left on the farm and took office.

The road is a two-way four-lane road with cement pavement. Road construction is a major event. For this reason, the city specially sent people to come, including journalists, not only from the city, but also from the provincial newspaper. It was just in time for the high-profile donation from Hongwang Feed Factory

Ten thousand yuan, of course, it was Fang Monan’s idea when the feed factory made the donation. The donation should be as high-profile as possible. The reporter happened to interview the feed factory and published it in the daily newspaper, which was regarded as a meaningful advertisement.

Because the road is in a plain area, it is much easier to just widen it based on the original earth and gravel. In addition, after the villagers on both sides of the road knew about it, in order to speed up the road and speed up transportation, they volunteered their labor to help.

Work.

After Fang Monan finished leveling the site, he needed a large number of people. In the plain area, there was less land and more people. It happened that Dachengzi led the villagers to come again. There were also some people in the mountains who knew that the farm was recruiting people and came over. The price was right.

, and signed an agreement. When you are busy, you can take time off to do farm work in your own land. When you are free, you can come here to help plant vegetables and fruits, and take care of the field.

Although it is a bit harder, everyone is still willing to earn more money. Then they plant green leafy vegetables first. Of course, all the seeds are high-quality seeds in the space. The fruits are watermelons, strawberries, and fruit trees are also planted on barren hills, which is suitable for the north.

Apples, peaches, dates, apricots, pears.[

Everything was ready, but it was hard to find someone to watch the show. In the end, Fang Monan thought about it and couldn't find the right person. His father was busy building roads, people! There was an urgent need for people! The fat man was so self-conscious, and there was little land at home.

, the fat aunt’s illness has also recovered, and she can take care of it by herself. The fat uncle works in the county machinery factory, and his performance has become worse and worse in the past two years, and he can hardly even pay his salary. He is just an ordinary technician, and

I don’t have any special skills. I can just quit my job and look at the business and still farm.

The farmers' thirst for land is unimaginable. Moreover, the fat man's sister (Xiaomei) graduated from junior high school this year and became an unemployed young man. The fat man asked Xiaomei to help in the store and also asked her to teach herself accounting knowledge. Now he knows that he has knowledge

What a difference. Learning more knowledge will be beneficial in the future. If you don’t know it, ask your neighbor’s accountant at the supply and marketing society. With the opportunity to practice, Xiaomei learned simple accounting knowledge.

Fang Monan heard what Fatty said, and it was really good. So he decided to let Uncle Fatty and Xiaomei watch the show, and even got three large dogs to help.

After the farm began to take shape, Mr. Lin took Fang Monan for a walk every once in a while on his bicycle to loosen the soil and add some ingredients to the vegetables.
