Hello 1983

  Chapter 112 "The Story of the Mole"

  In the courtyard of Liu Shikui's house, Liu Qingshan, Er Biaozi and Datou were installing antenna masts.

  There is a pine pole more than ten meters long across the yard, and one end is put on the bench, which is convenient for binding the antenna.

   Surrounded by a bunch of small bean buns, there are twenty or thirty of them, all chirping and watching.

  When picking up the TV, Liu Qingshan had already made preparations. He bought an outdoor receiving antenna and a feeder line of tens of meters, as long as they were connected together.

  In this era, because of the signal, no matter in the city or in the countryside, any household with a TV must erect an antenna pole outside the house, on which are various shapes of TV antennas.

  Even Liu Qingshan saw that the aluminum curtains at home were nailed up.

  After connecting the feeder lines, Datou and Er Biaozi carried the antenna mast and erected it at the east end of Fangshan.

   Tie it to the purlin in the middle, and fix it at the bottom, and it will be stable.

   "Oh, watch TV, watch TV!"

   All the little ones ran into the house screaming, and in a blink of an eye, the kang was full, scaring Liu Shikui's big tabby cat and jumping on top of the quilt.

   Si Fenger and Wu Fenger held hands, sitting in the middle of the edge of the kang, facing the screen, their small faces were also full of excitement.

  Yang Hongying, who was in charge of channel tuning on the ground, also asked: "Have you all finished your homework? Remember in the future, if you don't finish your homework, you are not allowed to watch TV!"

  The children stared at the TV screen, and answered neatly: "It's finished!"

  The TV was turned on, and finally it was no longer snowflakes, but water started to flow, and there were water ripples all over.

   "Sanfenger, turn around the antenna mast again!"

   Liu Jinfeng, who was in charge of liaison, yelled outside.

  Liu Qingshan and the others outside held the pine pole and slowly started to rotate to choose the best receiving angle.

   "Coming!"

  The children on the kang yelled in unison, and there was brisk music on the TV.

   It's really loud.

  Liu Shikui also beamed. He played with this thing for several days without making a sound, and he felt like a cat scratching his heart.

  I heard people say that the TV is good, and you can watch the news while sitting on the kang at home.

   "Sanfeng'er, there is a voice, let's go around again!"

  Liu Jinfeng leaned on the door and yelled outside again.

  Liu Qingshan and the others did not dare to neglect, they lifted the pine pole and continued to rotate slowly.

  Suddenly, I heard a cheer coming from the room, good guy, the roof almost lifted.

   Can you see clearly?

  Liu Qingshan also quickly let go, ran to the window, and looked into the room.

   "Finally I can see a figure, it doesn't seem to be a person, why is it a strange looking mouse?"

  Er Biaozi also came over, mumbling incomprehensibly.

"Hahaha!"

  The little boy in the room laughed heartily.

  Looking at the familiar mole on the TV screen, Liu Qingshan's mind is full of memories.

   That's right, it's the classic cartoon "The Mole's Story".

   "Big head, come here quickly, it's fun!"

  Er Biaozi watched with relish, and he didn't forget to say hello to Datou.

   "The toe of my shoe is being pressed down by a wooden pole!"

  Big-headed voice came from Fangshan.

  Liu Qingshan and Er Biaozi ran over quickly, just now they let go together, and the pole fell to the ground, just hitting Datou's foot.

   "Look, did you smash your toe?"

  Liu Qingshan raised the wooden pole again, and asked with concern.

   "It's okay, my shoes are just one size bigger, and there is an empty space in the front."

  The big head finally took out the shoes, and then heard the explosion in the house:

   "Oh, it's gone again!"

   "I want to see the mice!"

"Wow…"

  There were two young ones who howled directly, and that guy was crying so sadly.

  Besides yelling and shouting, the children on the kang were jumping up and down, stomping and stamping their feet vigorously.

   "Don't jump around, it will ruin the face of the kang in a while."

   As soon as Liu Shikui finished speaking, there was a thud, a little boy fell over and hit someone else, and the kang mat under his feet obviously collapsed in one piece.

There was still fire in the pit, and smoke started to smoke soon, and the children were choking and coughing, but no one was willing to move the pit, because Liu Qingshan and the others turned the antenna mast outside, and the TV screen reappeared .

   "Hey, hey, hahaha..."

  Er Mangzi still had tears on his face, and let out a smirk following the pictures on the TV.

  The other boys were similar, they couldn't bear to blink their eyes, so Yang Hongying frowned: Eyes, do you want more?

   With a click, Liu Qingshan pressed the shutter, and took a picture of the group of little dolls who got into the TV.

   Then he whispered to Yang Hongying: "Old sister, tomorrow you have to write something you need to know about watching TV. These little guys are allowed to watch for half an hour every day."

   "Hurry up and fix the kang."

  Yang Hongying gave him a push. The big head and Er Biaozi over there had already started to work. It would be the easiest thing to replace with a new adobe and put some mud on it.

  After the cartoon was over, the children let out a long breath, as if they were holding their breath just now.

   "I still want to see the big mouse."

  Si Huzi said a word, representing the aspirations of all the children.

   "The teacher said, it's a mole, not a mouse."

  The little fourth corrected Si Huzi's wrong statement, then jumped to the ground, hugging Liu Qingshan's arm: "Brother, can you play the mole again?"

  Although Liu Qingshan really wanted to meet her request, he really couldn't do it. He could only explain something, and then started to push people away: "It's time, see you tomorrow, let's go, let's go home!"

  Of course no one is willing to move, and the little boys all put on a stance of death: they will not leave even if they are killed.

  Er Biaozi picked up a feather duster to scare them, but it didn't work at all.

  I can't cure you yet!

  Liu Qingshan clicked and turned off the TV.

   Now the children were dumbfounded, they all stared at him angrily, and some clenched their fists.

  Looking at these little bean buns, some tears were rolling in the eyes, Liu Qingshan didn't feel a soft heart.

  He knows how attractive the TV is to children who have never watched it.

  But he also knows that the child has poor self-control, is addicted to the TV, and stays in front of the screen all day, which is more harmful.

   But facing a group of angry Xiaodoubao, he obviously couldn't speak well, so he could only drag Yang Hongying over.

   At the critical moment, it depends on the teacher. Yang Hongying's words really worked. The children all smirked and walked out listlessly.

   "Teacher, Caifeng and Shanxing haven't left yet."

   Er Mangzi walked to the door and saw that only the fourth and fifth children were sitting on the edge of the kang, and immediately began to complain.

   "Hmph, this is my grandfather's house!"

  The fourth child raised his chin at him, and was carried to the ground by Liu Qingshan: "You can't violate the rules either. From now on, from 6:00 to 7:00 in the evening, it's time for your children to watch TV."

  The fourth child felt wronged and wanted to cry, but was dragged out of the house by Shan Xing. Liu Qingshan heard them chattering, saying that they were going to play Galaha.

  That’s right, TV is not everything in life.

  Liu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned on the TV again. It was already seven o'clock. On the TV, Mr. Zhao, who was still very young, was broadcasting the news in a serious manner.

   After watching the animal world he hosted, Liu Qingshan always felt a little awkward after listening to his news broadcast.

   "Okay, okay, this is really better than the radio, and you can still see people."

  The audience was replaced by grandparents, and Liu Shikui looked at Mr. Zhao on TV, and he was so happy from ear to ear.

   "It's finally clean."

  Liu Jinfeng was about to rest on the kang for a while, and then he saw several old men enter the room cheerfully, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa branch secretary, grandpa kidnapper, hurry up and get on the kang."

   "Okay, Shi Kui, it's still your Qingshan's filial piety, bring you back all the little movies, and sit on the kang to know the world's affairs."

  The old branch secretary was also polite, took off his shoes and got on the kang, watching the news with relish.

  Grandma also took half a dustpan of freshly fried melon seeds, and Liu Jinfeng also poured tea.

  Even Grandpa Kidnapping nodded straightly: "Watch TV, eat some sunflower seeds, drink some tea, these days are really exciting!"

   One after another, people kept coming to visit.

   Needless to say, of course, after the kids go back, the whole village will know when the small speakers broadcast.

   Later, there was no room to sit in the room, and the ground was full of people standing on the kang. The people on the kang had no choice but to stand up to see the screen.

   "Those who are standing on the ground, go home and get the small benches."

   There was Da Zhang Luo's yelling from the outer room, and when everyone heard it, it made sense, and they all started to run home.

  Big Zhang Luo then dragged Dashuai Zhang into the room, holding a small bench in his hand, and sat down on the ground happily: "I didn't squeeze in just now, fortunately I used a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

   "I don't have a small bench yet."

  Dashuai Zhang muttered dissatisfiedly.

   "On your side, you can buy children's tickets when you take the bus, so you can stand up without blocking the light."

  The rest of the room laughed happily.

  Liu Qingshan saw that the elder sister had no place to stand or sit, so he simply motioned to her, and they went out of the house together, and went back to their own home.

   It is estimated that these TV watchers will not leave until the word "goodbye" appears on the screen.

  Yang Hongying also followed from behind, covered her mouth and coughed, the house was full of smoke, she couldn't stand it anymore.

  When I got home, I saw my mother was sitting on the kang, holding the soles of her shoes, and the fourth and fifth children were there.

   "Mom, why didn't you watch TV?"

   Liu Jinfeng was still asking.

  Lin Zhi looked up and smiled: "Didn't you all come back too?"

  Mother had the foresight, Liu Qingshan smacked his lips, and then went to the table to read.

  The exam is in mid-January, and there is still about half a month left. These days I have been tossing back and forth, and I haven't read much.

  When going to bed at night, Yang Hongying slept with Liu Jinfeng here, anyway, the eldest brother-in-law hasn't come back yet.

  As for grandpa’s house, it might take a long time to finish.

  When Liu Qingshan went to bed with the lights off on the kang, he heard the two sisters whispering on the other side of the curtain:

  Yang Hongying's voice: "It's really hard for a woman to be pregnant."

   Liu Jinfeng's voice: "But this feeling is also very happy."

   "How to be happy?"

   "You will know if you experience it yourself."

   "Bad guy."

   "Giggle..."

  Liu Qingshan felt melancholy: Two big sisters, are you still telling people to sleep?
