People today are used to watching TV, and rural children more than thirty years ago still had a vague concept of television. My family was one of the first families in the village to have a television set, but it was also when I was fifteen years old. Today, when I think back to the winter vacation of 1986, I am still full of infinite excitement.
That year, I was in the second year of junior high school, the sixteenth day of the waxing moon, and the school had a winter vacation. At noon the next day, my father, who works at the township credit union, came home to drive back a large cardboard box, and the whole family asked what it was? The father smiled and said, "TV! "Tv?" The family was amazed and excited. Father said that this was the brand-name TV set that he bought for five hundred yuan, Shanghai Venus! I jumped up happily: "I can watch the Spring Festival Gala this Chinese New Year's Eve evening!" ”
At that time, the rural areas of Northwest Lu had just been electrified, and the television set was still a rare item, and when my father put up the TV antenna in the yard in the afternoon, the neighbors came to ask: Did you buy a TV? In the evening, before my family had finished eating, the neighbors came to watch TV. From Shandong news to central station news, including advertisements, everyone watched it for a second, until the end of the TV program. The first night after my family bought a TV set was "Zhuge Liang", a total of eight episodes, filmed by Hubei Television Station, starring Li Fa. At that time, TV dramas were not performed every night, but only two episodes a week, usually on Friday nights. Because it is almost the New Year, the TV series is rotated in two parts. One three five "Zhuge Liang", two four six "Bao Gong", so my family gathered in groups every night, less than midnight TV station "off work" everyone did not leave, our family has no time to discuss something. Especially Chinese New Year's Eve evening, the Spring Festival gala until 1:30 a.m., in order not to sweep away the interest of the villagers, our family not only accompanied the time, but also provided boiling water, cigarettes and peanuts and melon seeds for everyone...
After the weather warmed up, my father simply moved the TV set to the courtyard, every dinner season, turn on the SOUND of the TV set louder, with the TV series "Railway Guerrilla" theme song sounded, the village is people began to come to my house to gather, while watching TV while talking about the mountains, that scene is a good picture of rural life, now think of it is a good memory!
Later, the popularization of television sets in the countryside came quickly, and slowly, every household had a television set, and people no longer went to other people's homes to watch TV. A few years ago, I went back to my hometown in the countryside, and after dinner, there was almost no visit to the door, and the scene where everyone gathered to watch TV has become an eternal memory...
Thirty-five years at a time, the current countryside is also the era of intelligence, mobile phones and computers have become a must-have for people, once dozens of people gathered together to watch fourteen-inch black-and-white television sets the era is gone. But I always feel that something is missing, life is richer, entertainment is richer, but I am unfamiliar with the villagers...
