Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 714 Today's Friday 2

Chapter 714 Today is Tuesday

The train stopped and went, and the snow stopped and fell again.

When Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu returned to Yichun the next day, the sky cleared up again, and there was less than ten centimeters of snow on the ground.

The snow is not very big, it only needs three or five days of continuous sunshine to melt away.

But it was precisely this change that caught the couple off guard. They were fine in the car, but they were shivering from the cold when they got off the train.This forced the two of them to buy a military green cotton coat and a large ear-covering hat in the city and wear them.

The slogans on the walls in the city are still the same, and the pedestrians on the road are hurried, with their heads downcast, and no one takes a second look, nor does anyone else look at them.

After a whole year of tossing, the city has become much deserted, which is completely different from the bustle of the capital.

There are still two years left!

Lu Lu sighed slightly, he really hoped that this situation where everyone was in danger would be over soon, and it would become lively again.

He couldn't change anything, and the couple was just like everyone else. Chen Xiuyu covered the child in her coat and walked silently, while Lu Lu found a wooden stick, tied up the miscellaneous luggage and the TV, and followed closely.

It wasn't until they got on the small train and got off at the Xiangshuixi Forest Farm that the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Lu recalled the first time in his life when he came to Xiushantun. He took the train to Xiangshuixi Forest Farm, walked through the forest to avoid the people he might meet, and then quietly built fairy pillars in the meadow, dug It was difficult to walk on the ground... step by step.

Now it is possible to walk along the main road in an upright manner.

Along the way, I met a lot of people who went into the mountains to fight scorpions. Most of the people in the village knew each other and greeted them all the way. When they asked what they were doing, they only said that they went to the city to do something.

The well-meaning villagers saw that their family was having a hard time walking, so they directly turned their sledge, let the family sit on it, and helped to send it to Caodianzi.

Looking at my own woodcuts on the meadow, I feel warm even though there is snow everywhere.

As soon as they came out of the forest road, Yuanbao and the others had already smelled the scent, and ran out to meet them, fluttering happily on both sides of the sledge, closely followed by Zhao Yongke.

"How are things going?" Zhao Yongke was more concerned about the results of Lu Lu's trip to the capital: "Has the house been bought?"

"It's done... Let's go back to the room and talk!" Lu Lu smiled slightly.

The sledge rushed directly into the yard, and the helping villagers were busy going into the mountain to collect plows. After Lu Lu and his family got off the car, they declined Lu Lu's invitation to come into the house to drink water, and turned around and left.

Wang Dalong personally led five people to build the Finnish bathroom designed by Lu Lu in a corner of the yard. He was already preparing the beams and rafters on the top of the bathroom. The pool is built with bricks and painted, and then the stove and floor are finished with volcanic stones, and the work is considered complete.

Seeing Lu Lu's return, several people stopped what they were doing and came to say hello.

Chen Xiuyu carried the child into the house immediately, and then went out to add some coal to the kang stove to increase the temperature in the room.

Lu Lu invited a group of people into the house to drink tea and eat some cakes, and chatted for a while. Lu Lu also briefly talked about everything he saw in the capital, let them see various photos in the capital, and said that Mrs. Duan left Helping Liu Hao take care of the children in the capital, and the matter of buying a house were also casually mentioned.

Make a group of people very envious.

He is more concerned about the crops on the farm.

After asking, I found out that soybeans are harvested early. The reason why soybeans are planted is to avoid the reduction in yield caused by repeated corn cropping and to increase fertilizer.

As for the corn, half of it has just been harvested.

The farm was the same as last year. It helped to collect the crops of several farmers before starting the harvest on the farm, which was delayed by the snow.

But it's not a big problem, as long as it's sunny for a few more days, it can be done quickly with a machine.Let the wild geese live for a few days, turn over the land, and then only the farm is left.

The main ones are the sale of wild geese and flying dragons, and of course, there is also the issue of seed conservation.

He doesn't want to spend a lot of time catching these things every year. Saving seeds is the best choice, which is convenient and trouble-free, and can be sustainable and better managed.

In other aspects, with Raymond in charge, everything went smoothly, including the preparation of the wintering pond for the forest frog farm.

Lu Lu had nothing to do for the time being, so he called Zhao Yongke for help. He went up the mountain and cut down a red pine and a straight birch tree. He cut off the branches and dragged them back to the house. He used fire to carbonize the surface of the thick end of the red pine. , planted a wooden stake more than two meters high next to the warehouse, then tied the tips of the thinner birch trees to the antenna, and erected them together with No. [-] wire and nails to fix them. Wang Dalong was also specially asked to make door bags to ensure that this A birch pole can be rotated for signal adjustment.

Back in the house, he put the color TV he bought on the kangqin, under the moose antlers, and then connected the electrical socket and signal line.

After working for more than half an hour, the matter was finally settled. Turning on the TV, it was no surprise that the screen was full of snowflakes mixed with the sound of stinging and stinging.

Both Chen Xiuyu and Zhao Yongke didn't understand this stuff, so they could only watch from the sidelines with curiosity on their faces.

Even Wang Dalong and others sneak in from time to time to take a look.

Lu Lu patted the dust on his hands: "You guys watch here, I'm going out to turn the antenna, if there is a picture of a person on the TV screen, just call me!"

"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu nodded, looking forward to and excited.

Lu Lu went out of the house, began to turn the birch pole a little bit, and asked at any time: "Have you got it?"

But they have already turned the telephone pole around, and Chen Xiuyu in the room always responded that there was no response. Occasionally, when Lu Lu thought there was a signal, he quickly changed his mind and said no.

This made Lu Lu a little depressed. Could it be that he couldn't receive the signal here?

In that case, when you buy this TV, it will become a decoration, useless and taking up space.

This birch pole is more than five meters high, so it's not easy to hold it around like this.

Unwillingly, he continued to turn, and when Chen Xiuyu's startled sound appeared again, Lu Lu moved to the window and looked at it in disbelief, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

It wasn't that there was no signal, but the classic icon that marked a break appeared on the color TV screen.

The TVs these days are not like the later generations. As long as the TV is turned on, you can choose a channel and watch it day and night. broadcast.

The broadcast stopped at [-] o'clock in the evening because the staff of the relay station were off work, and the broadcast was stopped on Tuesday. People these days think that the employees of the TV station will choose to rest on Tuesday.

In fact, the real reason behind it is that the TV communication technology is backward these years, and the staff of relevant departments need to regularly repair the TV broadcasting station, so as to ensure the normal communication in the future.

The appearance of this icon is just a signal that the staff appears during the detection process.

He went back to the house and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, which had a page torn out every day and had become very thin. He tore off the calendar for the past few days when he was away. He looked at Tuesday displayed on it and sighed slightly.

"There is a signal that can be released, but I can't see it today, I have to wait until tomorrow!" Lu Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Chen Xiuyu, who always thought that there was no signal on the TV, was confused: "Why?"

"Because the staff of the TV broadcast station also need to rest, and the TV broadcast station also needs maintenance. It is like this every Tuesday...it will be fine by tomorrow!" Lu Lu explained patiently.

Chen Xiuyu was a little disappointed because she couldn't see it today. Wang Dalong, who was watching from the window, was also busy going back to work. Zhao Yongke also smiled with disappointment: "Then I'm going back. There are some jumping cats and pheasants that I brought in the warehouse. During this period of time, Yuanbao and the others still didn't eat much of what I fed them. They would only eat a little when they were really hungry. The three lynxes ate a lot, so hurry up and get some to feed Yuanbao.

You meadow, no one has been here these days, I have been helping to guard, feeding the deer for the swallow and aunt, it is very good! "

"What are you doing going back so busy? Have dinner here today before going back."

"You guys just came back from a long distance, so don't be so busy, come over tomorrow, and want to watch your TV."

After Zhao Yongke finished speaking, he turned around and left the house, went to the meadow, took his Oroqen horse and rode home.

Lu Lu returned to the house and breathed a long sigh of relief. He walked around the house and found that it was the same as when he left. Zhao Yongke helped take care of Caodianzi's affairs and was probably active most of the time. The scope is also limited to the living room.

Lu Lu went to the kang and lay down on the wolverine skin. The little kid crawled on Lu Lu's body with infinite energy, sat on his belly, and bumped down on him, having a great time. Ever since, I would come over and tug on his beard from time to time.

The child is still young, so Lu Lu also let him torment.

Chen Xiuyu went to the bedroom to find some cloth, and prepared to cover the TV to cover the dust, but after changing it, she always felt that it was not good-looking, so she could only simply cover it with a pillow cover: "I have to rust a piece of cloth. Make a cloth cover for the TV."

"It should be, but when watching, you have to remove the cloth, otherwise the heat will not escape, and the TV will easily break. By the way, this thing can only be wiped with a soft dry towel, but it must not be wet. Also, it’s fine in winter, but in spring and summer, when there is thunder, you must not turn it on, otherwise, if a thunder strikes, the TV may be burned..."

Lu Lu explained the precautions in the same way.

In her previous life, the first TV at home was scrapped by Chen Xiuyu wiping the screen with a wet towel.Hope this doesn't happen in this lifetime.

Then, Chen Xiuyu didn't care about resting, went to the kitchen to boil hot water, took a basin, and wiped the room thoroughly to clean it up.

When the evening was approaching, they made dinner and invited Wang Dalong and others to have a meal.

The next morning, while Lu Lu was still asleep, he was awakened by the sound of the national anthem suddenly coming from the room. He went to the bedroom door to see, good guy, Chen Xiuyu got up early enough, and she was combing her hair, so she turned on the TV first. Opened up to catch the earliest rise.

Seeing the picture played on the TV, she was overjoyed and startled, the sound was too loud, and she was in a hurry, looking at the buttons on it, a little at a loss.

Lu Lu looked angry and funny, went out to teach her how to use it, how to change the channel and adjust the volume, looked at the snow outside, went back to the house and continued to sleep with the child in her arms.

Then he found sadly that Chen Xiuyu seemed to be frozen, sitting cross-legged on the kang watching TV all morning, even going to the kitchen to cook, looking at the opportunity, holding a spatula, she would glance at the door Two eyes.

Sure enough, the attraction of this new thing is greater than anything else.

Fortunately, Journey to the West has not produced a few episodes these days, and it is broadcast occasionally. Otherwise, in addition to the morning news, noon news and evening news broadcasts, the continuous broadcast of TV series one after another will make people hold their breath. leave.

The news spread quickly. It is estimated that Zhao Yongke went to the farm and met Zhang Shaofeng and others. By [-]:[-] p.m., the brothers all came over.

A group of elders were also watching the TV eagerly. When chatting, the usual response became "ah, what are you talking about!"

All the attention was on the TV, and I watched it with gusto.

Lu Lu couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to buy this TV. Even his own cute baby watched helplessly, and didn't bother to move his nest until he fell asleep.

Afterwards, this person came more and more every day and stayed longer every day. He often waited until the TV was out of programs before leaving.

For Lu Lu, those TV dramas no longer have much interest, and the focus is still on the news.

However, watching TV is not enough!

He somewhat regrets it!

Fortunately, they all still have some sense. Chen Xiuyu, Wang Yan and Ma Jinlan have not forgotten the deer in the farm, nor the two pigs and the twenty or thirty chickens raised in Aunt Duan's house.

The snow was nearly thawed, and a gang of gentlemen, not forgetting the work of the farm, set to work.

However, most of the content of the conversation was on the TV program, which was called a lively one.

All of them have become extremely eloquent, arguing endlessly, and sometimes they have to bring some body movements.

Then, after the corn was put away, several families should have made an appointment in advance to go to the city to buy TVs together, but the ones they brought back were all black and white TVs. As for color TVs, there are quotas in big cities.

Lu Lu had to help rotate the antenna pole for three days, and taught people how to use the TV and adjust the signal direction. At the same time, the pressure in Lu Lu's room was greatly reduced. It didn't have to be crowded with people every day, and it was much cleaner.
