It was that year — the story of the TV room in our team
Television set was produced in the twenties and thirties of the last century, from birth to now nearly a hundred years of history, from black and white to color, from electron tube, transistor television rapid development to integrated circuit television, to today's various new display technology coexist, the development process of television sets symbolizes a milestone in the development of display technology, display technology to bring the visual experience more and more clear, real and immersive.
The first time I watched TV in my life was in our team, in the late seventies of the last century. At that time, the team was assigned a 17-inch black-and-white television set, placed in one of the so-called best and largest rooms in the team, sitting on the easternmost room facing north and south, with a gate in front and a window in the back, which could accommodate twenty or thirty people. Later, you can watch TV, chat, entertain and so on here every day. The story begins here.
1. Grab a seat
In November, the countryside is idle, every day to work, but by about 5 o'clock in the evening, every household is already full of smoke, are cooking dinner, the countryside is already dark at about 6 o'clock, so quiet, even the breath is deep, occasionally you will hear the second sound of the dish under the pot. Suddenly heard Xiao Ju next door shouting: Xiao Hong, you quickly help me to grab a position, when I eat a good dinner, there will definitely be no good position, Xiao Yu is unhappy to answer, you have to go by yourself, every time I help you grab the position, come back to eat cold rice. Xiao Ju and Xiao Yu are sisters, 4 years apart. The role of the dominant sister, the dominator of the sister genus, although every time the sister says something, the sister does what she does, I can't imagine that this time the sister rejected the sister's order, that is simply the opposite of heaven. At this time, a higher voice was heard shouting: "You go, or do not go", only to hear a timid voice reply: "Today I will not go, and I will not go to kill me." "Well, you see, I don't care about all the things that I ask for in the future," my sister said angrily, while walking out, it seems that she can't move her sister, and she can only grab the best position by herself. Looking at the sister's angry and panicked look, the sister at this time regretted a little. Because the team's social field is along the south river of the whole team, and most of our members also live along the south river, so it takes only 6-7 minutes from home to the social field, but there are also a few families living in the north side of the kilometer, where it is more remote, but unexpectedly, when Xiaoju goes to the tv room of the social field to see, the best position in the front row has long been occupied, and the partners who sit in front of the house are relatively far away, at this time Xiaoju can only sit in the back rows. By the time Xiao Ju's brothers and sisters came over, the TV room was already crowded with people. At this time, the TV began to play news, "below the news broadcast", the host of the news broadcast Li Juan appeared on the TV silver frequency, although there are a lot of snowflakes on the TV, the host is in a trance on the TV trembling, but you can faintly see the face and voice of the host.
The delicate face, the generous and elegant dress, the sweet and standard Mandarin, suddenly calmed the noisy and noisy people, and the room suddenly became quiet. The indoor scene is: the front row is the young people who live farthest away from the family, the second and third rows are the brothers and sisters and cousins of the Xiaoju family, the back is the young people who have eaten dinner, and the last is the middle-aged people, the elderly generally do not come to watch TV, and have taken an early rest and go to bed. Of course, the position of Xiao Ju's family watching TV in the back is Xiao Hong's primary task to complete.
2. Make an antenna
TV is watched every night, but the snowflakes and unstable factors of the TV set are too much, and when I see the tension, I jump at once, which is really urgent. Although the TV is blurred with snowflakes, but every night the TV room is crowded with people, because there is no entertainment activity in that era, in addition to the day children play hide-and-seek, jump rubber bands, read the villain books, at night they all close their own doors, they sleep with the adults, and now with the TV, of course, the time at night is in the TV room, which gives young people a long time to spend at night, and broadens their horizons and insights for young people, and also increases the knowledge outside the books. Why not? The captain of the team was anxious to improve the quality of watching TV, and specially sent people who knew a little physics to make indoor antennas several times, but the effect was still not obvious. Once in the commune meeting, I heard that the TV set can be connected to an outdoor antenna, so that the quality of watching TV is greatly improved, so the captain inquired where there is a sale, heard that the hardware store in the county town has sold, but it is very expensive, considering that the price is too expensive, the captain gave up the plan to buy an antenna. Later, the accountant of the team inadvertently said to the captain: "The Jianjun (pseudonym) in our team is very good at studying in school, you may as well ask him to try", and the accountant's sentence reminded the captain, OK, try it! So the task of making antennas fell to Jianjun. Jianjun is an intellectual in our team, he reads very well, and now he is in high school, physics is particularly good, he knows a little bit of the principles of physics. After accepting the task of making antennas, I am really careful, first buy the main accessories of the antenna, and some small parts can be done by myself, do not buy, saving costs. On Sunday, Jianjun rode a bicycle to the county hardware store, first to see the antenna model, and then buy parts, after Jianjun's observation and careful thinking, feel that the outdoor antenna is not as difficult as imagined, so Jianjun began to make the first outdoor antenna, from looking at the antenna model to the production of a total of a month, the first outdoor antenna made by himself was born. On that day, the members of the team gathered happily in the center of the social field, watched Jianjun climb on the roof of the TV room, carefully installed the antenna, and kept saying: Is this okay? Is this okay? Because it is not yet night, so just look at the black and white grid clearly. The people in the room are saying: Well, this is OK, don't move, move a little bit and try it, good, good, that's it. Almost most of our team came to watch TV that night. At night, the TV has not yet started, and the people in the TV room are already crowded, sitting in front of them, standing directly in the back, and then standing on a stool in the back. The news broadcast began, only to see Zhao Zhongxiang's clear face on the TV, with a magnetic voice appeared on the TV, the room was suddenly cheered, but it was immediately quiet, and the TV began!
3. TV room - the corner of love
Since there were television sets in the team, there were more young people in our team, and when Chairman Mao called on Chinese people to be glorious mothers, by the end of the 70s, they were just in their youth, and they were also at the age of love, and there were about twenty young people in our team that year. Sometimes when they go out to work during the day, the adults will gossip about the field, the daughter of the Zhang family and the son of the Li family are a pair, the son of the Lu family and the daughter of the Shen family are a pair, but what the real children think, everyone is not clear, since there is a TV, who is good with whom, at night it will be known at first sight. The boyfriends all grab a good position for the girlfriend who has a good feeling, and then wait for the girlfriend to come, and sit together tacitly, and the adults also know that it is the TV that gives them a red line. Since the advent of television, there have been more than a dozen couples in the team and outside the team, but there are five couples who have actually become couples. One of them became a couple after several difficulties, and the story of both of them has now become after-dinner gossip.
Huang Yong (pseudonym) is the eldest son of a brother and sister in our team and five families, he is quite handsome, his black face reveals two tiny eyes, he is always smiling and giggling, not much, but always surprising, both humorous and funny. I don't know when it started, but the girls and boys on our team like to work in groups and often have labor competitions. At that time, the age of the partners in the team was about 15 to 19, when the youth was flourishing, love was budding, it was normal for the boys to help the girls do more work, but slowly and slowly there were three people Huang Yong, Zhang Qin (pseudonym) and Yu Feng (pseudonym) who walked very closely, often talking and laughing together, and also helping each other to complete the task, the adults in the team talked about Huang Yong and Yu Feng began to get better, Yu Feng was the scorekeeper in our team, white skin, looking quite Zhou Zheng, not so beautiful, And Zhang Qin's big eyes flickered, looking sweet and beautiful. Huang Yong is 4 years older than Yu Feng and Zhang Qin, Huang Yong is already a formal labor force in the team, take formal work points, and Yu Feng and Zhang Qin are still studying in school, only 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon after school and then work in the field to get apprentice work points, according to the full score of 10 divisions of labor for male members at that time, we worked at 5 o'clock after school, we can get 0.5 division of labor, and only 2.5 division of labor is taken during the holiday, which is also considered to be a work point for the family. At that time, they were all competing for work to get paid, and at the end of the year, the more they competed for work, the more money they shared. I remember one year, the one with the most shares in our team took 876 yuan at the end of the year, which was an astronomical amount at that time, (there were 7 children, and there were 5 children in addition to the two adults who had a labor force). However, the annual wages are different, calculated according to the harvest in the team every year, the harvest is good, then the value of the work at the end of the year is also high. Besides, the three of them slowly diverged as they grew older, and Yu Feng, who thought that he and Huang Yong were good, stayed away from the two of them, and it was Zhang Qin and Huang Yong who really walked together later. When it comes to the age of talking about marriage, Zhang Qin's parents do not agree with their marriage, because the Huang Yong family not only has many children and poor conditions, but also the parents' reputation is not so good in the team, even if the daughter uses threatening means - jumping into the river, Zhang Qin's father still does not agree, the daughter and the parents are inseparable, and finally one night things broke out, the father knocked the daughter out of the house and no longer recognized the daughter, but Zhang Qin still resolutely decided not to bring any dowry and clothes, with love, With a vision of a better life in the future, he left his parents and ran to Huang Yong's house. The next day they held a simple wedding at Huang Yong's house, without the participation and blessing of the mother's family, nor the dowry greeting team, the husband's family bought a new dress and got married. The love between the two of them was born in labor, slowly learned and matured in the TV room, and finally formed a couple. The two of them have always loved each other as ever, never quarreled, Huang Yong loved Zhang Qin, life was tasteful, two people respected and loved each other, the next year gave birth to a daughter, two people worked hard and conscientiously to cultivate their daughter very well, now Huang Yong and Zhang Qin have been grandfather and grandmother, but Huang Yong is still very protective of Zhang Qin, it is really a good couple who pay everything for love.
