Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It Chapter 254

Chapter 254 The huge sensation in Naye Village [6000 words]

As an old revolutionary, Zhang Guoan, even if he is just a gatekeeper now, his energy cannot be ignored by anyone. After agreeing to help Deng Shirong get TV tickets, he handed the tickets to Deng Shirong in just one day, which is very efficient. The height is really staggering.

After getting the TV ticket, Deng Shirong went to the department store and bought a 12-inch black and white TV for 440 yuan.

He chose a certain domestic brand. Although the quality of Japanese TV brands in this era was generally better than domestic ones, Deng Shirong still chose to support domestic products, even if the TV brand he supported would disappear without a trace in future generations. No trace, he still went to support without hesitation.

  Anyway, the TV set he bought was just a temporary transition. After a year or two, he planned to switch to a color TV set.

As for this black and white TV, he will keep it for collection and take it out decades later. It will also be a memory for their family.

 After buying the TV, Deng Shirong bought eight more batteries with the largest capacity, as well as wires, lights, and antenna stands.

That's why Deng Shirong told Capon that he planned to collect more and save it in the system space. Later, when his daughter-in-law becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, he can use this to replenish her body. The effect will definitely be great.

 “How is Amei doing over there?”

 “Jiu Gong, stay and have a meal before you come back!”

The Capon couldn't help but feel happy when he heard what Jiu Gong said.

 In this environment where it is impossible to develop the economy with peace of mind, it is normal for Guangxi's economy to be at the bottom of the country. As a populous county in Guangxi, Bobai County's economic conditions are naturally not much better.

However, this is Guangxi, and it is Guangxi that responds to the country's call and defends the southern gate of the motherland at all costs.

 That night, Deng Shirong said hello to his children and daughter-in-law, and after having breakfast the next day, he got on the bus back to his hometown.

"goodbye!"

Deng Changmei greeted: "Jiu Gong, come in quickly and burn the pipe first." Deng Shirong walked in with a smile, took the pipe handed over by Amei, sat down on the small stool, took out tobacco and matches from his pocket, and looked at them The almost finished wardrobe in the hall.

Deng Shirong nodded towards Deng Yunjin. When he saw the capon man packing his things and preparing to leave, he quickly said: "Ah Qi, how many male eggs do you have? Sell them to me!"

 Because, Deng Shirong did not want to bring this black and white TV into the house, but planned to put it under the longan tree at the door. The reason for making such a decision was that he did not want his family to be "crowded" by the villagers.

However, in later generations, this thing was a treasure, a sacred nourishing product, sold for 120 yuan per pound. It was an indispensable ingredient in the "functional porridge" in Guangdong and Guangxi. Whether you are a man or a woman, eating it is beneficial. of.

Deng Shirong asked: "Is your dad at home?"

“This is called an antenna stand. It is used to receive signals when watching TV.”

Deng Shirong said: "Of course it can. Since the battery can light the light, what's so strange about being able to watch TV?"

 The two discussed the child's problems, and Zhang Jiefang brought Grandpa Zhang over.

Deng Shirong stopped the car, handed the candy cookie hanging on the armrest to Amei, and asked: "Is your man at home?"

While Deng Shirong was busy installing the wires, the three generations of the Zhang family also came to report with tools. They discussed with Deng Shirong on the spot, and then the three generations of Zhang family started working according to the plan.

 Naye Village.

“No, this is a battery. Just like a flashlight battery, it can store electrical energy.”

“Forget it, you don't know what kind of pavilion I want to build. You probably won't be able to tell me if you ask me. I'd better go and ask myself!”

afternoon.

“She is living a good life, has no worries about food and clothing, her husband is capable, and her parents-in-law treat her well. Thanks to Uncle Jiu, you have found such a good family for her.”

At this time, even the three generations of the Zhang family who were working put down their tools and ran over to watch.

“Oh, Jiu Gong, you will enjoy it. Build a wooden shed here, and it will be comfortable to enjoy the cool here in summer!”

The capon man from the next village is performing some simple surgical operations on several roosters belonging to Deng Yunjin's family.

“Well, I did buy a TV. After I finish these things, everyone can come over and watch TV!”

 A **** chicken was born in this way.

 This is a large county with 7,972 villages and a population of nearly one million. However, the total number of TV sets in the county is less than 1,000. What is this concept?

 On average, it takes several villages combined to have one TV set.

Therefore, it is impossible to put the TV in the house. If he wants to put it, he can put it under the longan tree. If it is placed in the open air, the location will be spacious. As long as it is not too far away to see clearly, the whole village can It's okay to watch them together.

Since Naye Village would not have electricity until the 1990s, he chose to buy a few more batteries so that he could not only watch TV but also light electric lights.

“Okay, Uncle Jiu, then we will help you build this wooden shed in three days.”

He couldn't eat this stuff. In the past, he would give it away, but now Jiu Gong is willing to pay for it for a long time and pays a high price of 50 cents per catty, which means he will have a good income in the future. For him, it is naturally something to be happy about.

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said: "It's not okay to give it for free. You must collect the money, not just for the rooster eggs this time. No matter when you get the rooster eggs, bring them to me. I will definitely pay for them when I'm at home." I'll give it to you, and I'll give you fifty cents a pound, okay?”

Deng Yungui watched the TV for a while and then said to Deng Shirong: "Uncle Jiu, this village doesn't have electricity yet, so it's useless for you to buy this TV!"

However, this time Deng Shirong bought a black and white TV, so the pavilion had to be built quickly.

Second, start installing wires and lights. Although Deng Shirong is not a professional plumber, it is not difficult for him to install such simple wires. Anyway, the wires in this era are not like hidden wires in later generations. As long as the wires are run neatly That's it.

I saw the capon man sitting on the small bench he had prepared, opened the cage with the rooster, reached out and pulled out a rooster, skillfully twisted the chicken's head, wrapped it under the chicken wings, and then stepped on it with his left foot Wings, step on the claws with your right foot, and use your left hand to "brush, brush, brush" a few times under the chicken wings to pluck out a piece of chicken feathers.

“Then I'll trouble Brother Zhang. I'll have the wood prepared. If everything is okay, Brother Zhang, you can come over and help me build this wooden shed in three days.”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Four have grown, and the fifth and sixth have grown half as well. How many have your son grown?"

 At this point, Zhang Jiefang asked: "Jiu Gong, do you want to build a pavilion in front of your home?"

“Jiu Gong, why did you hang this thing on the bamboo pole?”

It has been almost two years since she married in Changtian Village. Due to her high level of education (high school graduation) and easy-to-get-together personality, plus the fact that her husband's ancestors have been carpenters for three generations, she has easily become the most popular person in the village. Little wife.

“Wow, this battery is so big, no wonder it can light a light.”

Deng Shirong said: "The area covered by this shed should be larger, at least sixty or seventy square meters. I don't know how long it will take to complete it?"

 The whole set of castration movements are "quick, accurate, and ruthless" in one go, which is very entertaining to watch. Apparently, this capon man has done the same movements thousands of times.

“Jiu Gong, since there is no electricity in the village, why are you installing these wires and lights now?”

Deng Changmei was chatting with a neighbor's daughter-in-law behind her back.

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Yes, I want to build a pavilion in front of my house, but the pavilion I want to build is different from ordinary pavilions. It is centered on the longan tree in front of my house to create a place that is both beautiful and sheltered from the rain. Do you know if your dad and grandpa can do it?"

Deng Shirong said with a look of relief: "I'll be relieved if she's doing well. I'm going to build a wooden pavilion at the longan tree in front of my house. I wonder if your son-in-law can do it. If so, I'm going to ask him to come over and help me build this pavilion.”

After burning a few pipes of cigarettes and exchanging pleasantries, Deng Shirong asked: "Liberation, can you make a pavilion with an all-wood structure?"

 “Amei, we are chatting here!”

He is the only capon man in Bangjie's brigade. He has castrated all the roosters in the entire brigade. In this era of liberalization of policies, the number of chickens raised by the villagers is unmatched in the past. As long as he goes out with his capon tools, At the end of the day, I bring back at least one or two pounds of rooster eggs.

Deng Shirong parked his bicycle and said with a smile: "Are you working?"

However, this is an average. In fact, at least half of the people who buy TVs are urban residents, and the vast majority of the rest are distributed in major communes. Real rural people can afford TVs in this era. , it can be said that there are very few.

But in this era, building sheds with iron sheets had not yet become popular. If he wanted to build a pavilion, he could only build a pavilion with an all-wood structure. This was not something ordinary people could do. It required experienced carpenters to do it, so this plan never came to fruition. Put it on the agenda.

 “If you're serious about it, I won't be polite to you.”

　　Boom! !

When Deng Shirong revealed the news that he had bought a TV, it instantly caused a huge sensation in Naye Village.

 “Uncle Nine!”

 Besides, the dogs he raised were not for show.

 After all, this money is equivalent to picking up for free, and anyone who gets it in exchange will be happy.

 After getting used to using electricity, it is really inconvenient to light a kerosene lamp.

Despite the ease with which the capon guy can castrate several roosters in a short time, the capon business only looks simple. If you really let yourself do it, you will know how difficult it is. If someone comes to help with castration, they will definitely charge a little money.

“Huh? Watching TV? Mr. Jiu, you didn't buy a TV, did you?”

Deng Yunjin thought for a while and said, "I don't know if he can make a pavilion, but his ancestors and grandsons have been carpenters for three generations. Even if he can't do it, his father or grandfather should be able to do it. Uncle Jiu, if you want Don't you want me to ask you?”

Deng Changmei said a few polite words, then took the candy cake and said, "I'm at home. I took on a job some time ago. I've been busy building wardrobes for others these past few days."

 In the next few days, Deng Shirong was not idle. He was busy with several things:

 First, it is not difficult to deal with the wood used in the wooden shed. With Deng Shirong's prestige in the village, as long as the news is spread, many people are willing to help.

Deng Shirong has long had the idea of ​​building a pavilion at the longan tree in front of his house. If it were a later generation, it would be very simple, just use an iron sheet to build a shed. Anyway, his main purpose is to shelter from the rain. If he can shelter from the rain, It is better if it is both beautiful and beautiful.

“If I were to do it alone, my level would be a little behind, but my dad and my grandpa can do it, so it's no problem for me to help out.”

 Speaking of this, Deng Changmei said hello to the neighbor's little daughter-in-law, and then led Jiu Gong towards home.

Deng Yungui, the second richest person in Naye Village, also rushed over. When he came over, he asked: "Uncle Jiu, where is the TV you bought?"

After taking out the rooster's eggs, he put away his iron bow, opened the chicken's mouth, poured a few drops of water into it, then grabbed the chicken's wings and legs and moved them a little, then let the chicken go.

　　When mentioning his daughter and son-in-law, Deng Yunjin put a smile on his face and replied: "He just came a few days ago."

The 1980s was an important stage for the economic development of reform and opening up. When other provinces were developing their economies with peace of mind, Guangxi was at war with a certain white-eyed country in the south.

Deng Shirong explained his request to Grandpa Zhang in detail, and finally said: "Brother Zhang, what I am talking about is not so much a pavilion as a wooden shed. Anyway, as long as it is beautiful and can shelter from the rain, it will be fine." That's it.”

Deng Changmei asked: "Jiu Gong, how many teeth does your granddaughter have?"

With that said, he returned to the room, took out the black and white TV set from the system space, and then carried it out for the villagers to watch.

Therefore, Deng Shirong's TV is not only the first TV in Naye Village, but also the first TV in the entire Bangjie Brigade. Even looking at the entire Shuangwang Realm, I am afraid it can be ranked among the top three, causing a huge sensation among the villagers. That's understandable.

 After buying all the things, Deng Shirong put them all into the system space.

Deng Shirong was not surprised when he heard this. Rural people in this era had little knowledge and did not know a lot of common sense. He explained with a smile: "This battery can be recharged. After the electricity in it is used up, it can be recharged again." Keep using it.”

The capon man put all the rooster eggs in a cloth bag. Naturally, Deng Shirong couldn't ask for the cloth bag, so he asked the capon man to wait here while he took the rooster eggs back and put them away before returning the cloth bag to him.

 At this point, Zhang Jiefang looked at his wife and said, "Amei, you talk to Mr. Jiu, and I'll call grandpa over."

 Everyone who heard the news immediately ran over to watch the excitement.

 So far, the total number of TV sets in the county does not exceed 1,000.

When Deng Shirong came over, he happened to see the capon guy finishing the work.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I bought a battery when I came back. When I want to watch it, I will use the battery to watch it."

"No, it's just a good time to go back now. If it's too late, you'll have to go back in the dark."

Just when Deng Changmei was chatting happily with her daughter-in-law from the same village, she saw Jiu Gong coming on a bicycle at a glance, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Jiu Gong, why are you here?"

“Jiu Gong, what is this battery?”

This rooster egg is indeed worthless in this era. Many people even dislike it because of its strong smell and are unwilling to eat it.

This sounds really beautiful, but every day the house is crowded with villagers, and it is very difficult to go out to pee. That situation is really painful and happy.

Having said this, Deng Shirong looked at the time, stood up and said, "It's not too late now, so I won't tell you more. I'll go to your son-in-law's house to ask."

Soon, Zhang Jiefang, with a lot of sawdust stuck to his body, walked out of the hall and greeted with a smile on his face: "Jiu Gong!"

 “Okay then, goodbye Jiugong!”

Deng Yungui nodded and said, "That makes sense. If you just use a battery to hold the TV, how long can one battery last?"

As soon as she reached the door of her house, Deng Changmei shouted: "Liberation, Jiu Gong is here!"

Deng Shirong had already finished the wire rack at this time. He knew that if he didn't take out the TV and show it to the villagers, he would not be able to eliminate their curiosity, so he said, "It's in my room. I'll take it out for you." Let's see!"

“Well, it's getting late, so I'll go back first!”

In his previous life, Deng Shirong was the first person in the village to buy a TV. He had this experience. At that time, as soon as the villagers in Naye Village had finished dinner, they could not wait to come to his house with small stools to occupy seats and wait. watch TV.

Three, cut the longest and straightest piece of bamboo, which is used to install the antenna stand. Deng Shirong did this in his previous life, and he is also very familiar with it in this life.

 Therefore, there is no need to worry about losing the TV set when it is placed outside. As long as the pavilion is set up so that the TV cannot get wet when it rains, that will be fine.

He is not afraid of the TV being stolen. The main reason is that no one dares to steal such valuable things in rural areas in this era, because even if you steal it, there is no place to sell it, and the risk of exposure is too high, which is not cost-effective at all.

Then use a ruler long enough, with a thin thread tied to one end, like a sewing needle wire, put it into the hole, twist the thread and pull it back and forth a few times, and finally use a small spoon to remove the rooster's egg (chicken's testicles) ) out of it.

 After returning home, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle towards Changtian Village.

Zhang Jiefang was quite confident in the craftsmanship of his grandfather and father, and said with a smile: "Jiu Gong, my father and my grandfather's craftsmanship are quite good. As long as you explain your specific requirements to them clearly, I believe they can do a good job." of."

Deng Yungui suddenly said: "It turns out that it can still be charged, but our village doesn't have electricity, so how can we charge it?"

Taking a step back, even if you can afford it and get the tickets, no one will think of buying a TV set if there is no electricity in the village now.

“Jiu Gong, are these wires and lights?”

“I don't know where my dad is, but my grandpa should be at home.”

That was a TV set. Even if the villagers present could afford it, they couldn't get a TV ticket.

Grandpa Zhang thought for a while and said, "If there is ready-made wood, it should be done within a month."

The capon guy nodded and said yes, then took his capon tools and left happily.

They are all old acquaintances. Most of the furniture in Deng Shirong's house was made by their grandfather and grandson. After the two parties said hello, they started talking about building a pavilion.

“Jiu Gong, is our village going to have electricity?”

After all, even Deng Yungui, the second richest man in the village, would not dare to spend so much money to buy a TV set and display it, let alone others.

Deng Yungui said in surprise: "Can the battery also hold a TV?"

The capon man smiled and said: "Jiu Gong, this thing is not valuable. I have about a pound here. If you want it, I will give it to you."

 Deng Yunjin's family.

The capon man said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Jiu Gong. I will bring you the rooster eggs later. This time, I, as your great nephew, will honor you."

 Watching the capon guy leave, Deng Shirong looked at Deng Yunjin and asked, "Yunjin, have your daughter and son-in-law visited you recently?"

Deng Changmei said: "My son also grew four..."

If anyone comes late, he won't be able to squeeze in, and he will have to listen pitifully at the door.

“I bought a battery and planned to use it to light the lamp. This is much more convenient than a kerosene lamp!”

Grandpa Zhang smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, this is not difficult, we can do it."

 It is already October of 1982 in the Gregorian calendar. Televisions are no longer a rarity in big cities. It is definitely an exaggeration to say that every household has one, but it is an indisputable fact that many families have one.

“No, given the situation in our village, we probably won't have electricity in the next few years.”

Deng Shirong sighed and said: "There is no other way. I will have to go to Shuangwang to charge. The trouble is that it is a bit troublesome, and it will probably cost a lot of money to go to Shuangwang to charge. But if you can use the electricity, for It's worth it to me.”

The capon man followed the same method for the next few roosters, and it only took a few minutes to castrate all the roosters.

Whether it is now or in future generations, if the capon man helps capon the chicken, then the rooster's egg must belong to the capon man.

Deng Yungui asked stupidly: "When this battery runs out of power, will it be useless?"

Deng Shirong took the bag back and returned it to the family, saying, "I should be at home during this period. If you have any rooster eggs, please bring them to me!"

“Jiu Gong, don't you already have all the furniture? What kind of furniture do you want to build if you invite carpenters here?”

“I'm not going to build any furniture this time. I plan to build a wooden shed next to the longan tree.”

Immediately afterwards, his right hand picked up a capon knife like a camera from the basin soaked in water, quickly cut a path, and then used a special tool with hooks at both ends, commonly known as an "iron bow", to Make that "road" into a "hole".

Deng Shirong said: "It depends on how long the TV is on. If you don't watch it during the day and only watch it at night, it should last about a week!"

 Zhang Jiefang nodded and said, “Make someone a wardrobe.”

Deng Yunjin first said hello to Deng Shirong, and then took out two cents to give to the capon man.

 Three minutes later.

 Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the whole village.

In this life, Deng Shirong naturally cannot do such stupid things again.

“Yes, these are wires and lights.”

 Changtian Village.

 Hearing the conversation between Deng Shirong and Deng Yungui, the villagers were filled with emotion.

 It has to be Uncle Jiu (Gong), he is awesome!
