Chapter 477 I Promise to Catch up with Them in This Life

"Xiaoye, I heard that there are 29-inch color TVs now. You can trust me and buy one for your family next year. You can keep track of how much it costs. Your grandpa and I will pay you back later."

"Ah? Oh, tomorrow, no, I will ask someone to buy it later. The money is mine, and it is my honor to grandma."

"."

The Spring Festival of 1985 was the fourth Spring Festival since Li Ye came to this world.

Four years passed by, and Li Ye silently changed the world and his family.

In the past, Li Ye tied up several Gatlings by himself, and his grandma Wu Juying scolded him for wasting money. But this year, grandma already thinks that the TV at home is not big enough.

Li Ye didn't dare to disobey grandma's orders, but Li Ye was always a little strange. Why was there a hint of resentment when Wu Juying said this?

After a while, the younger sister Li Ying brought Li Ye the answer.

"Brother, grandma heard someone say today that Lu Jingyao brought back a 29-inch color TV from overseas and gave it to Gao Xiaoyan's family as a betrothal gift."

"."

Okay, Li Ye understands that Lu Jingyao's breakup of the engagement will never be forgotten by her grandma for the rest of her life. Even female guerrillas who have always been hard-working and simple have to fight for something.

Li Ying looked at her stunned brother and quickly changed the subject in a low voice: "Brother, how big do you think a 29-inch TV should be?"

Li Ye thought for a while, made a rough gesture with his hand and said: "The diagonal length of the TV screen is twenty-nine inches. If you do the math, twenty-nine times two and a half centimeters."

Li Ying counted a few seconds on her fingers, nodded and said: "Seventy-three point sixty-six, brother, how much does a color TV like this cost?"

"Three or four thousand!" Li Ye rubbed Li Ying's little head and said seriously: "Xiaoying, you are really smart. I believe, brother, as long as you put a little more thought into your studies, you will definitely be able to do it. Admitted to university."

Li Ying looked at Li Ye with wide eyes for a few seconds, and then said seriously: "Brother, after graduating from college, your salary will only be 60 yuan, right? Then when can I afford a 29-inch color TV?" ?”

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Why are you considering this? When the time comes, my brother will give you two color TVs. Let's take turns watching them and make sure not to tire him out."

"And if you can get into college, I will give you a car after graduation."

Li Ying slowly shook her head: "When I grow up, I won't be able to spend your money. I will spend my own money."

"."

Li Ye looked into Li Ying's eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

Although she is the youngest in the family, she has endured things that her age should not have to endure. From the beginning, she has placed herself in a completely different position from her sister Li Yue.

But what Li Ying said next made Li Ye couldn't help but smile.

"Brother, look at it! Even if I graduate from college, my monthly salary is only sixty yuan at most. If I don't eat or drink, it will take me six or seven years to buy a color TV. In fact, it's impossible for me to live without food and drink.

Well, I won’t be able to buy a color TV for ten years, but it’s different if I sell clothes. I can buy a 29-inch color TV for my family in at most a year, no, half a year.”

"Brother, please tell dad again! Let me go to the market with my aunt in the future. I will only go to the market on Sundays and holidays. I promise to complete my homework on weekdays."

"."

It turns out that this sister still has no intention of giving up!

In order to get Li Ye to let go, he even said such harsh words as "guarantee to complete the homework".

However, Li Ye would never allow her to practice tanning at a young age. As long as she could read more books, it would be better to read more books.

When Li Ying saw that Li Ye didn't let go, she seemed to have taken great courage and stretched out five fingers.

"Brother, go and tell dad that as long as you let me go out and set up a stall, I will keep this much money I earn."

Good guy, it’s a 50-50 split, and the younger sister Li Ying made a huge concession.

Li Ye couldn't help but smile and said: "You have a pretty good idea. If you earn one hundred, it would be nice if your family can keep five yuan for you. Do you still want to add two to one to make five?"

Li Ying lowered her head and said weakly: "Let's keep half of it and don't tell them."

"."

Li Ye understood that what Li Ying meant was that she secretly kept half, but if her family found out, Li Ye, the older brother, would have to take the blame. It was Li Ye who teamed up with Li Ying to withhold the profits.

Have you learned how to find a protective umbrella?

"What are you two doing there? The party is about to start, why don't you watch it?"

Li Kaijian's voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Ying who was conspiring with Li Ye.

"Come on, come on, dad, I'm asking my brother for advice on a study problem!"

"."

Li Ying quickly entered the main room, first moved a seat for Li Ye, poured tea for her grandparents and father, then took two oranges, peeled one and gave it to Li Ye.

Her sister Li Ying glanced at her sideways, but was ignored by Li Ying.

What are you looking at? I won’t even serve you.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Dongshan TV Station began to broadcast the programs of TV Station One.

At present, mainland TV stations have not yet adopted satellite, and TV One cannot guarantee that all provinces in the mainland have clear TV signals. Therefore, when broadcasting important TV programs, they need to rely on the rebroadcast of various local stations.

And in the first broadcast, what was broadcast on TV was not the Spring Festival Gala, but the "golden advertisement" before the Spring Festival Gala.

A golden wave of wheat appeared on the TV, rising and falling with the breeze, clearly showing the plump wheat ears in the camera.

The hard-working old man cut off a sheaf of wheat and smiled contentedly at the camera, showing his white teeth.

"The best wheat, the best flour, the best ingredients, the best delicious Qingshuihe brand instant noodles, real ingredients, the taste of hometown."

As the advertisement plays, the golden wheat grains by the river, the plump ox on the grass, and the bright red peppers on the branches. Various brightly colored shots change in turn, as if this is not an advertisement, but a scenery film.

Li Ying couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, is this our instant noodles?"

Li Zhongfa's face was full of pride, but he still corrected him: "Why is this our instant noodles? This is Qingshui County's instant noodles. Don't talk nonsense when you go out!"

"Oh, I said the wrong grandpa."

This commercial is the new year's commercial for Qingshuihe Food Company. A lot of effort was put into just shooting it.

When he went to TV One to discuss advertising cooperation, he was "lucky" to get the best advertising time, so of course Li Zhongfa was very proud.

But I don’t know if Li Zhongfa knew that the strongest rivals for TV One’s golden advertisement were Fenghua Clothing and Pengcheng Red Bull Drinks. In the end, Li Zhongfa was “lose-lose” for them.

It’s okay if they’re not cheap! Between Hao Jian and Fu Guiru, who dares to steal the limelight from the old man?

At eight o'clock sharp, the Spring Festival Gala officially began. As soon as the party started, everyone in the Li family became excited.

"Is the stage of this year's party so big?"

"No, no, this scene is no worse than the Olympic Games. We can do what foreigners can do."

Whether it is Li Zhongfa, Wu Juying, Li Juan, or Li Ying, they are all satisfied with the opening of the 1985 Spring Festival Gala.

But little did they know that this was the "most failed" Spring Festival Gala in history.

In 1984, mainland audiences were exposed to too many major events. They watched the National Day military parade and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. "Big scenes" were no longer strange.

Then some people think that for a country with more than one billion people, it is too shabby to host the Spring Festival Gala in the small studio of TV One. Only grand scenes can match the magnificence of a huge country.

So the venue for the 1985 Spring Festival Gala was set at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing.

I have to say that this idea is actually a good one, even very advanced. However, 1985 is not 2005. It is not that difficult to hold an entertainment party in a large stadium with tens of thousands of people these days.

In the end, because the facilities, equipment and technical conditions of the First Television Station were not enough to support such a big scene, a large number of missed shots were caused.

However, for this year's Spring Festival Gala, the director team also made a lot of careful preparations. Because of the popularity of "My Chinese Heart" last year, this year they invited famous Hong Kong singers Luo Wen and Wang Mingquan.

In addition, the famous cross talk master Mr. Ma and the popular Chinese women's volleyball team have also been invited to help out. It can be said that they want to provide everyone with a satisfactory Spring Festival Gala.

But in the end, this party was far from ideal, and most of the programs did not receive a good response.

Because there were so many viewers who criticized it, TV One had to solemnly apologize to viewers across the country in the "Xinwen Lianbo" broadcast 11 days later.

Then the senior management sent four investigation teams to TV Station 1 to investigate the reasons for the party's mistakes. This shows how great the impact of this party was.

Before the party was over, Li Zhongfa frowned in front of the TV: "Why do you feel like you failed? How did you do it?"

Li Ye said softly: "Actually, it's not their fault. Our equipment and technology are somewhat insufficient, and we have no experience in organizing such a large-scale TV show.

It can be said that we are lagging behind the world in all aspects. If we want to catch up with the world's first-class, we still need a lot of efforts. "

"Yeah! We're really behind,"

Li Zhongfa is a pragmatic person. He has presided over the instant noodle factory until today. He naturally understands the backwardness of the mainland.

There are too many areas that need to be learned and improved in equipment, management, and all aspects.

But Li Zhongfa is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.

He narrowed his eyes: "Our lagging behind is only temporary. As long as we grit our teeth and chase, we can always catch up.

I can't catch up in this life, so you have to grit your teeth and continue chasing me. If you can't catch up, let my grandson continue to chase."

Looking at Li Zhongfa who was clearly showing fighting spirit, Li Ye said calmly: "I remember grandpa, but I don't want your grandson to suffer.

I guarantee that in your lifetime, we can catch up with them and make them turn around and chase us. "

I got back late today because I had something to do. The second chapter will be updated in the middle of the night. Please read it tomorrow morning! Sorry sorry.
