In May, flowers are blooming and everywhere is full of life.

The 2nd was Sunday. Although Li Zhongxin experienced the miserable May Day, he still got up at 5:20 as usual, and ran eastward along Fufeng Street to Jiangcheng Ninth Middle School at the east end.

In the campus, I would press my legs, stretch my waist, do a few pull-ups, and then run around on the campus playground.

After breakfast, Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu gave Wang Bo three newly purchased 70-meter-long hanging nets, and he asked Feng Xiaowu to drive him to the Workers' Cultural Palace in the center of Jiangcheng City.

What does the Workers' Cultural Palace do? As the name suggests, it must be a place for workers to have activities and entertainment.

Li Zhongxin was deeply impressed by the development of the Workers' Cultural Palace. In the 1980s, the Workers' Cultural Palace in Jiangcheng was synonymous with cinemas and bus terminals. In the 1990s, the Workers' Cultural Palace in Jiangcheng was synonymous with the dance hall and billiard hall. In the two thousand years ago, the Workers' Cultural Palace in Jiangcheng was synonymous with cinemas and bus terminals.

It is the epitome of a date and a love affair. Before Li Zhongxin was reborn, the Workers' Cultural Palace was the epitome of a cram school training school. Li Zhongxin's daughter studied dance in that place.

Li Zhongxin came to the Workers' Cultural Palace, planning to take Feng Xiaowu to watch a movie, and then go out for a big meal to replenish his body and comfort his little mind that was injured yesterday.

The era when there were no mobile phones or computers was so boring. It was so boring that Li Zhongxin didn’t know what to do. Watching a movie from the 1980s was definitely a good choice.

When they arrived at the Workers' Cultural Palace, Li Zhongxin was surprised to see that the place where movie tickets were sold was the kind where the conductor sat in a room with a small semicircular window on the wall.

In front of the window, a small blackboard clearly stated: Adult movie tickets cost fifty cents each, and children's tickets cost two cents each.

Feng Xiaowu bought two movie tickets for 70 cents, and bought some melon seeds and yokan for 1 yuan not far from the ticket office, and then took Li Zhongxin into the cinema.

What Li Zhongxin didn't expect was that the first movie he watched after his rebirth would be "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li.

Li Zhongxin, who later watched "Shaolin Temple" several times, had a very average sense of the movies of this era and fell asleep while watching it.

After often watching movies that cost hundreds of millions or billions, this kind of movie is simply not the same.

However, Li Zhongxin knew that the movie "Shaolin Temple" had set off a craze for action movies across the country, and even the super awesome Jue Yuan in the movie went crazy.

If he remembered correctly, after the movie "Shaolin Temple" was staged, countless children and teenagers had a martial arts dream. Many children even started practicing martial arts at this time, leaving their homes and going to Shaolin to learn from their masters.

Feng Xiaowu and Li Zhongxin are different. After watching a movie, everyone is so excited.

Even when he was having dinner with Li Zhongxin, he was still thinking about the movie and telling Li Zhongxin about his love for the movie "Shaolin Temple" from time to time. He told Li Zhongxin that if he had time, he would like to watch it again.

once.

Feng Xiaowu even told Li Zhongxin that if he wasn't older now and his mother was sick at home, he would have wanted to learn martial arts in the Shaolin Temple.

Li Zhongxin understood the lack of spiritual food in this era and wanted to synchronize material and spiritual food. He even felt that he should buy a big item for his home.

Thinking that he could not intervene in this kind of thing, he asked Feng Xiaowu to tell Wang Bo to take time next week to go to his home and send two hundred yuan to the family, so that his mother and father could scrape together some money to buy a TV.

Now that Wang Bo has money, it is reasonable and reasonable for him to spend 200 yuan to buy a TV for his second grandfather and his second grandma. After all, Wang Bo can stand in Jiangcheng only because of the financial support of his second grandfather and his eldest sister Wang Yaqing. It is also reasonable to pay part of the money to buy a TV.

As it should be.

Li Shangyong and Wang Yaqing did not agree with Wang Bo's investment in part of the money to buy a TV. After all, not many people nearby had TVs at this time, so spending such a large sum of money to buy a TV was a bit of a luxury.

However, Wang Bo said that he bought the TV for his second grandpa and second grandma to watch. If they didn't pay for it, he could buy it himself.

After two days of discussion, Li Shangyong finally agreed to buy the TV.

To Li Zhongxin's surprise, his third uncle Wang Bo took 200 yuan, while his parents only scraped together 150 yuan and asked someone to buy a 14-inch Panda TV set at Jiangcheng Department Store.

Although better TVs can be bought here in Jiangcheng, as the second family among the dozen or so neighboring households to buy a black and white TV, Li Zhongxin’s parents insisted on buying a 14-inch Panda brand priced at 350 yuan.

Black and white TV. (Inches are feet, one inch is about 2.54 inches, 14 inches is 35 centimeters, and a 14-inch TV is equivalent to the diagonal length of the screen being 35 centimeters.)

According to Li Zhongxin's parents, being able to watch a TV at this time was already an extremely luxurious thing. If you get a big one, the threshold of your home will probably be broken down.

After the TV was purchased, Li Shangyong carefully placed it on the two large camphor wood boxes that were used during the wedding.

The mattresses and quilts that were originally on the two wooden boxes were placed near the window sill.

There are two reasons for this placement.

First, none of the neighbors in the neighborhood had bought a TV at this time, and most of their children wanted to watch TV. As soon as someone bought a TV, they would immediately move a small bench to sit in the house and wait for the TV to be turned on.

If the TV was placed on a table on the floor, it would not be able to accommodate so many children.

The other main reason was that the signal at that time was very weak, and it was impossible to receive TV programs clearly using the antenna that came with the TV.

If you want to receive clear TV programs, you need to build a new TV antenna yourself.

Bend the thin iron pipe several times to form a rectangle, fix it with wood below, then tie the TV antenna to the chimney above the house, and use thin wires to connect to the original TV antenna, and you can clearly

I saw two stations.

Of these two stations, one is the local station and the other is the central station. However, the local stations do not have any good programs at this time, so most people choose to watch the central station.

After getting TV, Wang Xiutai and He Shuqing had an extra job at home during the day, and they watched it with gusto. After Li Shangyong and Wang Yaqing got off work, they even told them what news they watched on TV during the day.

, saw some good TV programs.

Li Zhongxin did not feel any benefits from buying a TV for his home more than a year in advance. On the contrary, he had a lot more troubles.

As long as there are children in the neighborhood, almost every night after dinner, they no longer do entertainment activities such as hiding and catching people, and they all go to his house to watch TV.

Although the TV can only receive local stations and central stations at this time, there have just been TV programs, which are especially popular with children.

At this time, CCTV was playing Czechoslovakia's "The Mole's Story", and the cute little mole was particularly endearing.

As long as you are a child, there is no one who does not like the story of the mole.

Li Zhongxin did not expect that adding such a large item would not bring any benefits to the family. On the contrary, it would bring a lot of troubles, especially since his great-grandfather and great-grandmother were quite old and were used to going to bed early and getting up early. However, those

When children watch TV, they don’t care whether the elderly people in your family are sleeping or not. They always see the TV turned off in Li Zhongxin’s house.

They are all good neighbors around, and their relationship is quite good on weekdays. They cannot go out without telling them. If there are any snacks or other food in the house, Wang Yaqing will take it out and share it with these children.

It is for this reason that the surrounding neighbors have rave reviews for the Li family.
