Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 201 The Jia family is going to get rich!

After Grandma Li said something about eating, He Yuzhu and his family began to eat happily. At this time, Zhou Guoan looked at the time and shouted: "The Spring Festival Gala has begun!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Guoan immediately turned on the TV and heard the familiar voice following He Yuzhu.

The Spring Festival Gala first met the audience in the 80s. Although the first official "Spring Festival Gala" was born in 1983, the Spring Festival Gala actually originated from the "New Year's Gala" in 1979.

At that time, the Spring Festival Gala mainly used teahouses and ballroom dancing as the main performance forms. The party was not broadcast live. It was usually recorded in advance and broadcast on New Year's Eve.

However, it did not have a big impact across the country after it was broadcast. The reason is very simple. There were less than 500 million TV sets in the country that year, and there were not many viewers watching TV.

Here I want to briefly talk about the development of domestic color TV at that time.

On December 1970, 12, the first domestic color TV set was produced in Tianjin.

Eight years later, the state approved the Shanghai TV Factory to introduce the first color TV production line. In October 8, color TVs began to be put into production. Subsequently, China's color TV industry developed rapidly and formed a large scale.

At that time, it was in the early days of opening up. People's incomes were increasing, their material lives were getting better and better, and they began to pursue a rich spiritual life. Color TVs gradually entered thousands of households.

Later, the Spring Festival Gala's huge influence across the country was inseparable from the rapid development of the domestic color TV industry and the popularity of color TVs.

In 1983, the first Spring Festival Gala was officially broadcast and named "Spring Festival Gala", a name that has been used to this day.

That year's Spring Festival Gala undoubtedly brought a wonderful literary feast to the people across the country.

The hosts of the first Spring Festival Gala were Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, Wang Jingyu, and Liu Xiaoqing. The gala included sketches, songs, singing and dancing, acrobatics, magic, opera, cross talk and other program types.

The most impressive thing that night was singer Li Guyi. She participated in 9 programs throughout the party and sang 7 songs solo, 6 of which were performed consecutively. She also became the first singer to officially appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

By the second year of the Spring Festival Gala, language programs stood out and amused audiences across the country!
  Everyone not only remembers the "Universe Brand Cigarettes" in Ma Ji's stand-up comedy.

I can’t forget the “gobbling” Chen Peisi in the sketch “Eating Noodles”. The more miserable he was tortured by Zhu Shimao, the harder the audience laughed.

"Eating Noodles" also became the first real skit on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Although the plot is simple, it reflects the stories behind ordinary entertainers.
  Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's vivid performances made the audience laugh happily, and everyone was very satisfied with the sketch.

That year, the song "Unforgettable Tonight" sung by Li Guyi appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time.

From that year until 2001, Li Guyi appeared on the Spring Festival Gala four times to sing "Unforgettable Tonight".

In the 1985 Spring Festival Gala, the program team was brave enough to innovate in order to bring a different Spring Festival Gala to the audience. However, the program went too fast, and it became the most disastrous Spring Festival Gala that year.

At that time, the director thought that recording the Spring Festival Gala in the studio was not grand enough, so he boldly tried to live broadcast it outdoors, and finally chose to hold it at the BJ Workers Stadium.

Because the sketch "Eating Noodles" was loved by the audience, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao collaborated again, continuing the story of the previous sketch and choreographing a new sketch "Making Movies", continuing to show the audience the stories behind ordinary actors in a funny way.

The sketch "Making a Movie" tells the story of actor Chen Xiaoer, who under the arrangement of the director, filmed a summer scene in the middle of winter. Chen Peisi, who played Chen Xiaoer, ignored the low temperature of the scene and performed directly in unlined clothes, which completely showed the story of the sketch. .

Although the skit was full of laughter, due to the large venue of the stadium, the layout of the skit was a bit monotonous and the stage effect was not good.

The Spring Festival Gala that year also invited the women's volleyball girls, who won the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and were extremely popular in the country. Their appearance made people across the country very excited.

However, the final effect of the Spring Festival Gala was not as good as expected. Due to equipment limitations, there was no heating on site, the temperature was extremely low, and the live performers were freezing. In addition, due to lack of experience, the lights were dim and the stage effect was poor.

The staff of the Spring Festival Gala did not even have walkie-talkies, which caused the connection between the programs to be unsmooth. The entire party did not end until 2 a.m., causing a serious timeout.

Although that Spring Festival Gala had performers and women's volleyball teams that the audience loved, many viewers felt very disappointed in the face of such a "chaotic" Spring Festival Gala. Letters of advice and criticism were sent to CCTV in sacks.

After receiving letters from viewers, the program team apologized to viewers across the country on "Xinwen Lianbo" on the third night of the first lunar month: "We sincerely accept everyone's criticism!"

In the 1986 Spring Festival Gala, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao presented the sketch "Mutton Skewers", which made people laugh.

This year everyone has realized the influence of the Spring Festival Gala: the Spring Festival Gala is a stage for creating miracles!

Singer Jiang Dawei sang the song "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom" on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the song became popular across the country overnight.

Everyone discovered: "Whoever attends the Spring Festival Gala is likely to become famous overnight"! This makes many performers eager to have the opportunity to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala!

The next year, a singer who had just turned 26 became famous again!
  This is the well-known King Zhou Fei Xiang.

That night, Fei Xiang sang two songs, "Clouds in Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter."

In addition to his beautiful singing voice and handsome appearance, what makes the audience shine is his performance style of singing and dancing on the stage.

It is said that the director in charge of singing and dancing at the time came up with a way to allow Fei Xiang to pass the review of the director team smoothly.

He suggested that Fei Xiang should not perform the dance part in front of the directing team, but only stand and sing the song. After passing the dance, the dance will be performed directly in front of all the audience during the official performance.

Facts have proved that Fei Xiang's dance scenes are indeed like "a fire in winter", making the audience in front of the TV "hot inside" by him.

After the Spring Festival Gala, these two songs quickly became popular all over the country, and the singer Fei Xiang also became famous overnight!
  Young girls are fascinated by him, and young boys imitate his style. Many boys even go to barber shops to get Fei Xiang's same hairstyle.

Although Fei Xiang announced his farewell to the pop music scene in 1989, with his wonderful performance in the 87 Spring Festival Gala, countless audiences have never forgotten him. Fei Xiang is still the "god man" in the hearts of many people.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is about making an old lady famous. This old lady is already [-] years old. She has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. She and "Ji Gong" You Benchang performed the sketch "Emergency". The audience also liked this sketch. Remember this grandma.  Her name is Zhao Lirong.

And this was just the beginning of Zhao Lirong's performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Since then, she has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage 7 times and created many classic sketches.

In addition to Grandma Zhao Lirong, this Spring Festival Gala, the song "Missing" is very popular. It was sung by 25-year-old Mao Amin.

Mao Amin was welcomed by the audience when she first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and her career ushered in a new chapter.

After the Spring Festival Gala, she became famous and many film and television dramas invited her. Mao Amin got the opportunity to sing the ending song of the TV series "Desire".

With the popularity of "Desire", the ending song "Desire" also became popular across the country, and Mao Amin became one of the most famous female singers in the music industry at that time.

In addition to Zhao Lirong and Mao Amin, 30-year-old Yang Liping made her debut at the Spring Festival Gala with her "unique" peacock dance "Sparrow Spirit". Her perfect performance allowed audiences across the country to see the unique charm of dance.

That year, the audience also remembered the sentence "leader, colon", which came from Niu Qun's cross talk "Qiao Li Ming". The original name of this cross talk was "Leader, Colon" and it was 18 minutes long.

However, taking into account factors such as the length of the party, the content was streamlined and the name was changed. Unexpectedly, this sketch, which satirizes public officials for eating and drinking with public funds, resonated with the audience, and everyone also remembered the most ironic line in cross talk: "Leader, colon."

"Haha...!" He Yuzhu laughed loudly, to be honest, this is the Spring Festival Gala, this is New Year's Eve, unlike future Spring Festival Galas, which have to educate people, it is really speechless.

Just when everyone was watching happily, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Everyone was surprised, because why would anyone come at this time? Zhou Guoan immediately raised his hand and shouted: "I'll open the door!"

After Zhou Guoan opened the door, Zhou Qiang stood at the door with a smile on his face. Zhou Guoan was stunned at first, and then immediately shouted in surprise: "Mom, come and see, my dad is back for the New Year!"

"Clam!"

With one sentence, everyone rushed out of the room. When they saw Zhou Qiang standing outside the door with a real smile, Li Xiuniang burst into tears. Zhou Qiang had not spent time with her for many years. On New Year's Eve, I actually came back today, which really made me cry with joy.

Zhou Qiang looked at Li Xiuniang who was crying, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly: "Don't cry anymore, I will never leave you again. I have come down, and I made a report and asked to stay in Sijiu City. , the superiors have agreed that I may serve as the deputy director of the Fourth Nine City Public Security Bureau."

"real.?"

Everyone present was happy. He Yuzhu quickly smiled and said: "Don't stand at the door. My brother-in-law has gone home. He must be in a hurry. He must not have eaten. Come, Haitang, Yuyu, make some dumplings for my brother-in-law." .”

"Hey!" Yu Haitang and He Yuzhu quickly went to the kitchen to make dumplings. At this time, He Yuzhu's family was finally reunited.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the two juniors Zhou Guoping and Zhou Guoan began to pay New Year greetings. Grandma Li sat on the main seat early. Zhou Guoping and Zhou Guoan stepped forward in turn, knelt down to Grandma Li, and said something I want to say: "Happy New Year, madam!"

Grandma Li smiled kindly and said, "Get up!" and handed over a red envelope that had been prepared.

Then he kowtows to his parents, He Yuzhu, He Yuyu and others in turn. The adults are all smiling. After kowtowing, there will be lucky money.

Young and old were overjoyed, and the whole family was enjoying themselves.

He Yuzhu's new year's money is very large, at least [-] yuan.

Speaking of the history of lucky money, it is quite long.

There are records in the Han Dynasty. It is said that there is a kind of evil spirit called "Sui". Every year on the [-]th night when the children are asleep, they will sneak into the room through the crack in the door, run to the bed and stretch out their pale hands. , touching the child's head, the child was frightened and cried loudly. As a result, he became ill and had a high fever, which made him stupid.

In order to protect their children, parents would turn on the lights and sit by the bed to "watch out for evil spirits". It is said that this is the origin of the "stay up on New Year's Eve" on the [-]th night. Later, in Jiaxing Prefecture, a married couple had a son. They wrapped eight copper coins in red paper and gave them to the child to play with. Unexpectedly, the "Sui" who came out late at night saw the red paper and copper coins and was so frightened that he turned around and ran away without a trace. disappeared.

This incident spread quickly, and people followed suit by wrapping money in red paper for their children to suppress evil spirits. Since "evil" has the same pronunciation as "Sui", it gradually evolved into "lucky money" and became a traditional custom.

Later on, a lot of attention was paid to giving New Year's money. For example, the numbers should have auspicious meanings. If you give sixty-six yuan, it means "sixty-six great fortunes." If you give eighty-eight yuan, it means "fafa." After the currency is changed to banknotes, the elders like to go to the bank to exchange money. Give the new banknotes with connected face numbers to the child, "wishing the child good luck."

All of these are the sincere sustenance of the elders for their descendants and are a form of Nian culture.

He Yuzhu's family has no relatives, so they are reunited as a family, but other people have to visit relatives at this time. Families with many relatives and friends should prepare New Year's gifts before New Year's Eve. Zhai, buy a number of boxes of snacks, and don’t go to every house empty-handed.

In addition to the "eight small items" in the snack box, you also need to buy some tea, fruit, wine, etc. The items you carry vary from person to person and are given selectively.

There are many New Year greeting rituals in these forty-nine cities. When men meet each other, they hold their left hands and right fists in a salute. When women meet, they should place their right hands on their left hands and shake them on their right waist, while squatting down with their legs. This etiquette is called "bye bye."

When meeting elders, it is common to kowtow, and when peers meet each other, they bow or bow to each other. Of course, if there are many elders, it will be improved to bowing to the older generation.

When arriving at the home of important relatives and friends, one should first kowtow to the Buddha statue three times, then kowtow to the ancestral tablets and images three times, and then salute everyone in the house, the elders and the younger ones in turn. When paying New Year greetings, you should also be careful not to say taboo things. Avoid illness, death, divorce, etc. Say more happy things and use auspicious words.

The Jia family did not have a great year this year. However, the Jia family did not complain. Instead, the whole family focused on the video room. Interestingly, on the third day of the new year, the Jia family’s video room It is finally open for business.

On the first day of opening, Qin Huairu found Xu Damao and helped him get some movies back, although these movies were incomparable with the movies He Yuzhu got in Xiangjiang.

Basically, they were all old movies, but the day the Jia Family Video Hall opened, there was also a sea of ​​people. The entire video hall was packed with seats. No one expected that the Jia Family Video Hall would become an instant hit and make money on the first day. A few hundred dollars.

Bangge was so happy that he didn't know what to do, but Yi Zhonghai didn't know that his unlucky day was coming.
