Qin Hao joked: "Since it's so fun, why don't you take it back and play with it for a few days?"
"What are you talking about? This is a child, not a kitten or puppy. He is taking it back to play with for a few days. His family may be very anxious right now. Look at that blind old man, who wants to find his daughter.
My eyes are blinded by crying." Wang Xin retorted.
"That's right. I have to criticize you, Xiao Qin. You must be very careful when dealing with the issue of the child. We have to return him to the child's parents without losing a hair." Captain Hu answered.
Clearing his throat, he said solemnly.
It was rare to hear someone criticizing Qin Hao, so Wang Xin winked at Qin Hao proudly.
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at him, stepped forward to untie the child's swaddling clothes, and turned his buttocks over.
"Why are there so many red spots on this child?"
"Yes, does this child have any illness?"
Several young policemen who were watching the excitement subconsciously took a few steps back. Qin Hao said calmly: "It's just a rash, it's not that serious. However, the parents of this child are probably worried that the child will be seriously ill and will not be able to feed him.
Just threw him on the train."
"This child's parents are too cruel. The child is still sick. How could he do this?"
Ma Kui stepped forward and picked up the child, his eyes a little distressed.
"Is this a crime of abandonment?" asked a young policeman.
Ma Kui glared at the young policeman: "If we can find the child's parents and take the child back, we don't care about the crime of abandonment. If we arrest the child's parents, what will happen to the child?"
"Yeah, in this case, the best thing is to work through the ideological work of the child's parents and let them take the child back. But usually in situations like this, the situation at home of the child's parents is definitely not very good. This time, they took the child back.
If things go wrong next time, I'll find a corner and throw it away, and some cruel people may even drown the child." Captain Hu sighed. He had been a policeman for many years and he had seen all sorts of bizarre things.
"Then what should we do with this child now? We can't just keep him at the police station, right? We have so many grown men on duty and we don't have time to take care of him." Wang Xin said hesitantly.
"When a child is so sick, he must be sent to the hospital first. These days, we are also actively contacting other stations to see if there are any missing children there. If there is no one to claim them, we can only send them to orphanages.
Already." Captain Hu said.
Ma Kui frowned: "If such a young child is sent to an orphanage, will it be possible to feed him?"
In 1978, even for children from normal families, the mortality rate was very high, let alone in an environment like an orphanage.
"Whether he can be fed depends on his fate. We can't let him stay at the police station forever, right? We don't have anyone here to take care of him." Captain Hu sighed.
"Then sending the child to the hospital..."
Captain Hu glanced at him, and everyone else avoided his gaze. Only Ma Kui took the initiative to ask: "I'd better send this child away. This little guy looks pitiful. I don't know which parent can be so cruel.
Leaving such a young child on a train."
Qin Hao thought for a while: "How about I go with Uncle Ma, so that we can have a discussion."
"Okay, Lao Ma and Xiao Qin have to be enlightened, so I'll leave this matter to you two. The money for the child's medical treatment will come from our funds. You can come back to the team with the bill for reimbursement later."
Along the way, Ma Kui and Qin Hao rode bicycles against the cold wind to the hospital. The weather in the Northeast has officially entered winter since November. The trees on the roadside are all bare. Although it hasn't snowed yet, the temperature is still warm.
It has been hovering below 10 degrees Celsius, and it can reach several degrees below zero at night.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor's examination revealed that there was nothing wrong with the child. He just had eczema, which looked scary. In fact, as long as he applied some medicine, he would get better in a few days.
However, the child was fine, but Ma Kui was in trouble. The child's parents were found, and his conscience found that it would be better to take the child back. But if, as Qin Hao said, he was determined to abandon the child, then this child
Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of his biological parents.
"Uncle Ma, do you want to adopt this child?"
Ma Kui looked at Qin Hao in surprise when he heard this: "Why do you think so?"
"Uncle Ma, the way you look at this child is unusual."
"Well, when I was arrested, your aunt was already six months pregnant. Just because I was arrested, she had a fetal movement and the baby was gone. Her health has not been very good since then. I am
I owe her my whole life."
Ma Kui's face was filled with sadness and his eyes were red.
It was rare to see the tender side of Ma Kui, a tough man, but Qin Hao poured cold water on him.
"Uncle Ma, as you said, my aunt is not in good health and you have to go to work. If you adopt this child, who will take care of it in the future?"
Ma Kui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said: "You are right, I can't take this child back, otherwise your aunt will definitely be reluctant to let go when she sees it."
Qin Hao secretly sighed. Although this may be cruel to Ma Jian, Wang Sufang's life has been too miserable. She was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer. If she took care of such a little guy, she would have to endure it. Otherwise, she would have to endure it.
He should probably live for a few more years.
As for Ma Jian, just find a well-off family to adopt him.
"Then this kid."
"Why don't I take him back first, and then when I go to work, there are so many aunts in the compound who can help take care of him. If he still hasn't found his parents after ten days and a half, I'll ask Team Li from HaCheng to help them find him.
Once I find a family who wants to buy a child from another place, I can find a well-off family and send it to them. Then, not only will the child not suffer, but he may also enjoy happiness."
After hearing what Qin Hao said, the guilt in Ma Kui's heart disappeared instantly.
"Otherwise, Xiao Qin, you must be smart, why didn't I think of this?"
"That's because you don't want to trouble others, so I won't be afraid. Anyway, it's a matter of accumulating evil. I'll accept the favor."
"Haha, you kid."
Afterwards, the two of them talked and laughed all the way home. The next day, Ma Kui received the good news. After half a year of unremitting application, Captain Hu finally helped Ma Kui and his family apply for a private house in the railway compound.
The house is a two-story building.
This made Ma Yan extremely happy. On the one hand, she finally had a new house to live in, and on the other hand, it was much easier for her to play with Qin Hao and Wang Xin when she moved to the railway compound.
After her father was arrested, Ma Yan's world collapsed. Not only did she have to face the extremely reduced living conditions caused by the loss of her family's main labor force, but she also suffered discrimination and exclusion from her peers. In the 1970s, if someone in the family committed a crime and was imprisoned,
That is a major stain in life.
Since then, Ma Yan has become taciturn, and only Wang Xin can chat with her.
On the day Ma Kui's family moved, Qin Hao mobilized the neighbors in the railway compound to go to his house to help, and Wang Xin was reluctantly dragged over by him.
Perhaps because he was so happy about moving, Ma Kui rarely quarreled with Wang Xin.
Looking at the bright and spacious two-story building, Wang Sufang and Ma Yan couldn't close their mouths with laughter. Even Ma Kui, who had always been serious, also had a smile on his face.
Ma Kui's housewarming celebration naturally required a dinner party, and Qin Hao naturally became the chef. Although there was not much meat, Qin Hao cooked a few "hard dishes" in different ways, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and there were no reports of missing babies at any of the stops along the way. It was almost certain that the child had been abandoned.
Finally, the Ningyang Station Police Station unanimously voted to adopt Qin Hao's plan and send the child to a well-off family.
After contacting Captain Li from Ha Cheng, we found a family of intellectuals in Beijing for the child. A middle-aged couple in their forties were unable to have children due to their physical condition. They liked the child very much when they saw it and immediately decided to adopt the child.
.
Looking at the little guy sleeping soundly in the couple's arms, Qin Hao secretly thought: I have found a good family for you, and I won't be delaying you anymore.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the New Year, and Qin Hao became a favorite. The neighbors were afraid that he would be too deserted to celebrate the New Year alone, so every day one family would take turns inviting him to their home to celebrate the New Year, making Qin Hao feel like he was eating from hundreds of families.
, but Qin Hao did not refuse the kindness of these neighbors. After experiencing so many days of intrigue in the world, this kind of plainness and warmth gave him an inexplicable sense of belonging.
On New Year's Eve in 1979, just in time to coincide with the year when Beijing TV Station officially changed its name to China Central Television, it launched a "New Year's Eve Literary Gala". This was also the first Spring Festival Gala in history, and it is also known as the 1984 Spring Festival Gala.
It's actually the second time.
The directors of the first Spring Festival Gala in 1979 were Deng Zaijun and later director of "Journey to the West" Yang Jie.
However, since the total number of TV sets nationwide in early 1979 was only over 4.5 million, it did not have much social impact.
That night, Qin Hao, Wang Xin, Ma Yan and a group of young people from the railway compound rode their bicycles for several kilometers under the snow and went to a steel factory in Ningyang to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala.
On the way back, Yao Yuling said enviously: "It would be great if we could have a TV in our compound, so we don't have to travel so far to watch TV."
Niu Dali immediately became interested when he heard this: "Don't worry, Yao'er, next year, I will definitely let you watch TV in the courtyard."
Wang Xin rolled his eyes: "Okay, do you know how much a TV costs? How dare you open your mouth?"
"How much, how much is it?"
"The most common color TV set, not to mention imported, but domestically produced, costs at least 1,200 yuan, and at least double the imported one, 2,400 yuan. Even the black and white domestically produced one costs six to seven hundred yuan. How many do you have in your pocket?
You're so tall, you dare to say such big things."
Niu Dali instantly withered: "This...is so old and expensive."
Cai Xiaonian joked: "Dali, you were so arrogant just now, why are you so embarrassed when you hear the price?"
"Who, who's speaking rudely, I'm cold, okay, it's winter, try riding a bicycle all the way." Niu Dali obviously had no confidence when he said this, and everyone laughed, no
Take Niu Dali’s words to heart.
Yao Yuling didn't take Niu Dali's words to heart, but Niu Dali became more enthusiastic.
I found Qin Hao early the next morning: "Old Qin, don't you know how to repair radios? Then you should know how to do radios, right?"
"Yes, I do. What do you want to do?"
"Then help me buy a TV."
Qin Hao was amused: "Don't you think you have to buy a TV just because of Yao Yuling's words yesterday?"
"Yeah."
"No, do you know what spare parts are needed to buy a TV and how much does each spare part cost?"
Niu Dali shook his head confidently.
"Not to mention anything else, the most important part in a TV is called the picture tube. This thing cannot be made domestically now, so we can only use imported ones. The picture tube alone costs more than 300, and this is still the manufacturer's purchase price.
If you do it privately, it will cost you at least four hundred. How much money do you have in your pocket?"
Qin Hao said angrily.
"Just wait."
Niu Dali took out all the money in his pocket, but at the last count, it was less than thirty yuan. Qin Hao couldn't laugh or cry: "With this little money, you can't even save a TV, not to mention a radio."
"Old Qin, please help me think of a way. I'm begging you. I will never miss Yao Yuling in this life. If I can't marry her, I will die in peace."
"No, you better go to hell, don't disturb my sleep, get out of here." Qin Hao said angrily, covering himself with the quilt and silently making a wish, hoping that he would not encounter this kind of love brain in the next world, it is simply terrible.
What Qin Hao didn't expect was that Niu Dali didn't give up. Instead, he went door-to-door to raise money in the railway compound, saying that Qin Hao would save TV sets, and the family only needed twenty or thirty yuan.
, you can watch TV in the courtyard from now on.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is indeed very tempting for a family to watch TV for twenty or thirty yuan, so many neighbors came to ask Qin Hao if this was true.
of.
Qin Hao thought about it and agreed to get a TV. Entertainment life is really lacking these days, so he agreed.
Obviously Qin Hao's appeal was much stronger than Niu Dali's. After seeing him nod, he quickly collected five hundred and thirty-eight yuan. This amount of money was definitely not enough to buy a finished TV, but if he saved it himself, it would be enough.
question.
The only troublesome thing was the picture tube, which was not sold on the market at all. Finally, through Ermaozi’s introduction, I bought a second-hand one from the black market. After testing and finding no problems, Qin Hao spent a full 280 yuan to buy it.
Fortunately, the picture tubes these days are of good quality, so even if they are second-hand ones, they can last for more than ten years.
The remaining parts are easier to get. Some of them are bought new, and some of them go to the scrap station to buy some scrap ones, dismantle them and refurbish them, and they can be used.
The outer shell is even simpler. Qin Hao directly made a wooden box.
"Don't tell me, Xiao Qin's craftsmanship is really not good. This wooden box looks even more beautiful than the new one."
"Isn't that right? I just said that in our compound, we can be without anyone, but we can't be without Xiao Qin."
However, after turning on the phone, something still went wrong and the screen was covered with light raindrops.
"Hey, I almost forgot, I still need an antenna."
When Qin Hao finished the antenna and put it up, the screen flashed a few times and finally there was an image.
"Come here, you can really watch TV."
"Oh, we have a TV in our courtyard."
The children were all ecstatic, and the adults also gave Qin Hao a thumbs up.
