NOVEL WEB Chapter 152 Spring is really here
Today is New Year's Eve. In addition to posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, making dumplings and eating New Year's Eve dinner, of course, a very important entertainment activity is watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Last year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala was brilliant, and the whole country was applauded. CCTV continued its efforts and launched the Year of the Rat Spring Festival Gala, which featured a large number of popular stars.
This year's New Year's Eve, Fang Minghua's family is still very lively. Although they have moved to Xincheng Square, Zhang Fenglan warmly greeted the neighbors who helped her to come and watch TV on New Year's Eve when they moved.
No, just after the New Year's Eve dinner, two families came over from Tongzilou, both of whom were usually close to the Fang family. I came over with gifts to pay New Year greetings, and the living room suddenly became lively again, with adults and children sitting all over the room.
At eight o'clock, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala officially started.
Ma Ji performed the cross talk "Universe Brand Cigarettes" and made the whole room laugh. There was also Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's sketch "Eating Noodles".
It is indeed wonderful. No wonder the 1984 Spring Festival Gala is called the most classic Spring Festival Gala.
A gentle man wearing glasses, a suit and a scarf around his neck appeared.
Zhang Mingmin!
Zhang Mingmin singing "My Chinese Heart"!
Sure enough, Zhang Mingmin's slightly Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent caught the attention of the audience in the room as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Minghua, who is singing?" asked his former neighbor Xiaoling.
"His name is Zhang Mingmin, and he is a Hong Kong singer." Fang Minghua explained with a smile.
"The teacher said that Hong Kong and Taiwan songs are unhealthy. Can't they sing the most melodious songs? How can he sing on CCTV?" The little girl was a little puzzled.
"Listen carefully, is it healthy or not? Is it the sound of Mi Mi?" Fang Minghua asked back.
The little girl listened carefully for a while: "It sounds very nice...the lyrics are also very patriotic."
"Do you like hearing it?"
"like!"
"Want to sing?"
"think!"
"Don't worry, in a few days, I guess this song will be playing all over the streets." Fang Minghua said leisurely.
When my sister Fang Minghua, who was watching TV seriously, heard this, she thought of something and immediately looked at him: "Brother, what do you mean, Hong Kong and Taiwan songs will no longer be the most popular music in the future, and you can sing them casually?"
"Yes, spring is really here."
Compared with the slightly dull 1983, 1984 has been regarded as a turbulent year in history. During this year, various influential figures appeared one after another.
Wang Shi, 33, from Pengcheng, used his first pot of gold earned from selling corn to establish a modern science and education equipment exhibition and sales center in Shenzhen, which was later renamed Vanke in 1988.
Qingdao Refrigerator Factory welcomed a new general manager, Zhang Ruimin, who smashed 76 substandard refrigerators and launched the "Haier" brand strategy.
A cadre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences founded the New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Zhongguancun together with ten other researchers from the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This was the predecessor of Lenovo Group, which became famous and criticized by later generations, including its founder Liu Chuanzhi. .
Jianlibao, also known as the "Oriental Magic Water", went nationwide with the Olympic Games this year and quickly became the largest beverage brand in the country. Even the two major colas in the United States have avoided its dominance in the Chinese market.
Zhang Jindong just graduated from Nanjing Normal University. A few years later, he founded Suning Appliances with 100,000 yuan of capital;
Shi Yuzhu, a graduate of Zhejiang University who graduated from school in the same summer as him, was assigned to the Anhui Provincial Bureau of Statistics. Soon he went south to Pengcheng and began a high-spirited and tragic entrepreneurial career.
There is also Mou Zhong, who just came out of prison and started his unprecedented career as a "traitor".
Of course, these influential figures are a little far away from Fang Minghua. He is about to meet two people who are very important to him - Song Tangtang's parents and his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the family had a lot of fun shopping around. In the evening, they also went to the City Wall New Year Lantern Festival.
Starting from this year, Xijing has a new place to go during the Spring Festival - strolling around the city wall to admire the lanterns at night.
However, Fang Minghua did not have such leisure. He did not eat dinner and moved the gifts he bought two days ago to his bicycle. There were large and small packages of Maotai liquor, Chinese cigarettes, malted milk extract, ginseng and royal jelly, hung on the handlebars and placed on the seat. , then rode his bicycle out of the family courtyard and went straight to Houzaimen.
Song Tangtang's family lived in a high-walled compound near Houzaimen. There were guards standing guard at the door. When he arrived on horseback, he saw a girl standing at the door and looking around.
Wearing a sky blue ski shirt and a red scarf around her neck, Song Tangtang.
When the girl saw him riding his bicycle, she immediately came up to him with a smile.
"Minghua, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" Fang Minghua quickly parked the car.
"Oh, I bought so many things." Song Tangtang was surprised to see the big and small bags in his car.
"It's the first time I meet my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, so of course it has to be grand." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Why do I hate my father-in-law and my mother-in-law!"
The girl said something angry, but still held Fang Minghua's arm in an affectionate manner and walked into the door. The guard saluted.
Song Tangtang's home is somewhat similar to Zhao Hongjun's home. They are both rows of bungalows, and each house has a small courtyard. The two walked to the middle row of bungalows and opened the small courtyard door. Although it was not big, it was elegant and quiet, and there were several doors in the corners. Branch of plum blossom.
What surprised Fang Minghua was that there was a small vegetable patch next to it. Using the light in the yard, Fang Minghua recognized that it looked like spinach, but it had been frosted.
"My father planted it in his spare time so that he wouldn't have to buy it at the farmer's market." Song Tangtang, who was standing next to him, explained.
This father-in-law’s hobby is a bit special.
Fang Minghua parked his bicycle in the yard, and the two of them knocked on the door with gifts. The door opened quickly, and it was a soldier who was about 27 or 28 years old.
"This is my brother, Song Yuemin."
"This is Fang Minghua." Song Tangtang introduced each other.
"Brother." Fang Minghua called after him.
Song Yuemin was quite enthusiastic and called out, "Minghua, come in." Then he walked towards the living room.
Wait for Fang Minghua to follow him in and take a look.
OMG, there was a room full of people sitting there.
There are two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa headed by them. One is a soldier in uniform. He is slightly older, has a Chinese character face, and is not angry or intimidating.
The other one is younger, wears a pair of glasses, is elegant, and looks like an intellectual.
Fang Minghua immediately determined that the man in military uniform was Song Tangtang's father, his future father-in-law, but who was the younger, elegant, middle-aged man?
There are also two middle-aged women sitting on the sofa next to them. They both look like intellectuals with short hair. They look somewhat similar, like a pair of sisters.
One of them is Song Tangtang’s mother, so who is the other one?
Sitting next to her was a young woman under thirty with a four or five-year-old child, who should be Song Tangtang's sister-in-law and nephew.
Look at the edge again.
She was also a beautiful girl with short hair and a white turtleneck sweater, looking at herself.
It turned out to be Li Li whom I knew!
