Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Hey, it's all for revolutionary work!"

“The People’s Post Office is for the people!”

The two of them smiled happily and were polite, but they still took the cigarettes, and their hearts were full of love and admiration for Lin Zhengjun.

Really open-minded!

After watching the two leave, Lin Zhengjun turned back to the yard and walked into the main room. He saw Tang Xiaofu and Lin Hongying surrounding the box and asked curiously, "What's in it?"

"Hey, why don't you open it and take a look!"

Lin Zhengjun took the scissors, cut the tape in no time, and opened the box.

"Wow! They're all delicious!"

Lin Hongying's eyes lit up.

There were ten cans of luncheon meat, two cans of Kling milk powder, two cans of Nestle instant coffee, and two bottles of foreign liquor.

"It's all in English, coffe? milk? XO? Is this milk, coffee and foreign wine? And it's imported!" Lin Hongying learned English quite well and recognized it instantly.

"Ha, needless to say, Fu Qi and Shi Hui must have bought it there when they got off the train in Yangcheng and changed trains!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

After taking these away, there were still four cardboard boxes inside. Lin Zhengjun took out the big box first.

Lin Hongying screamed when she saw the words on it: "TV? Venus, 18 inches, in color! How cool!"

In 1979, Shanghai Television Factory No. introduced a color TV production line from Japan. Except for the Venus logo, all other parts of the Venus color TVs produced were imported from Japan.

Venus TVs are of excellent quality and are popular among consumers. Even people from other places ask their relatives in Shanghai to help buy them.

"TV? A color one? It was sent by General Manager Fu!"

"My goodness, how much does this cost!"

When Lin Sanhuai and Zhang Shuqin heard that it was a TV, they quickly dropped what they were doing, walked over to take a look, and were both shocked.

Tang Xiaofu was also very happy and smiled sweetly: "Fu Qi is really generous. I remember that a 12-inch color TV cost 18 yuan, and an -inch one probably cost or yuan!"

"It's generous. It's Venus brand. 18 inches is the largest. It's full of sincerity." Lin Zhengjun couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Sanhuai, Zhang Shuqin, and Lin Hongying were all stunned. They said, "Oh my God, this little thing is only six or seven hundred yuan? How many big houses can it be worth?"

"This thing is in short supply now, but it will be much cheaper in the future!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

In fact, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu had considered buying a TV before, but Lin Zhengjun gave up in the end.

The domestic color TV production lines have just been established and the prices are abnormally high. They will drop rapidly in a few years. Anyone who buys them will be a big complainer!

It’s as if the money used to buy this TV could buy Qi Baishi’s standing painting of pine and cypress worth more than 200 million yuan!

Lin Zhengjun passed up a great bargain and bought a TV that was worthless in later generations. It was a disgrace to him as a reborn person!

Well, speaking of which, when Lin Zhengjun was in Yenching, he had originally planned to go to a calligraphy and painting shop to buy some famous paintings or a trust store to buy some antique furniture, but he was delayed again!

But don’t worry, there will still be plenty of them on the market next year, and the prices won’t go up. Once the courtyard house is finished, it must be filled with famous paintings and calligraphy, and filled with antique furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties!

Another thing is that even if you buy a TV, there are not many TV programs.

Either watch the news, science and education films, or movies. The first domestic TV series, "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", was not released until 81!

But the one Fu Qi gave to me was different. It didn’t cost any money, so it was free and that was great. I didn’t feel bad about it at all and just enjoyed it.

Lin Zhengjun brought out another box. Tang Xiaofu was even happier and said with a smile, "Oh my God! Fu Qi is so generous. A Sony VCR!"

That’s right, this is a SONY AV-1979ACE reel-to-reel VCR, which was newly released in 3670.

Open the carton and take a look.

There is also a red leather suitcase with a handle and a metal push-button buckle. It is very stylish and does not look like an electrical appliance at all. It feels like a luxury item!

However, its price at this moment is definitely worthy of its price. It is estimated to be over one thousand. It is definitely a luxury product!

Lin Zhengjun opened the last cardboard box and found a pile of movie tapes inside.

They are all classic Hong Kong movies from the 1960s and 1970s, such as "The New One-Armed Swordsman", "Fist of Fury", and "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow".

The last box is the fishbone antenna.

Nowadays, the signal is often poor if you just use the antenna on the TV, with snow and flickering images. If you connect a fishbone antenna, the signal will be much better.

Lin Sanhuai said, "These food and drinks are not worth much money, but this TV and VCR are really too expensive. Is it appropriate for you to accept such an expensive gift from Mr. Fu?"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "It's okay. I can earn millions of Hong Kong dollars from writing scripts for him and directing the movies he made. This is just a few bucks!"

"That's not appropriate..." Lin Sanhuai was too honest and believed in not accepting rewards without doing anything.

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Dad, don't think too much. I write the script for him and will be involved in the filming of the movie later. It's normal for him to send me information and make preparations."

Lin Hongying looked under the big box, took out a letter, and said, "Brother, there is another letter."

Lin Zhengjun opened it and saw that it was a handwritten letter from Fu Qi.

Basically, they got off the train in Guangzhou and bought these things at a local overseas Chinese store and sent them to Lin Zhengjun, hoping that Lin Zhengjun would study them seriously, further understand the Hong Kong action film market, strive to gain some insights, and offer valuable suggestions when he returns to participate in the filming of the movie. They also wished Lin Zhengjun and his family a happy Chinese New Year and so on.

Lin Zhengjun handed the letter to Lin Sanhuai and said, "Look at this. Do you think you want me to read it for fun? You want me to be their slave. Homework!"

Lin Sanhuai read the letter and smiled in relief: "That's good. It's not good to take someone else's things for no reason!"

"Brother, let's open it and take a look!" Lin Hongying said.

"it is good!"

Lin Zhengjun nodded, put the TV on the large cabinet against the wall, and then plugged in the TV.

Considering the convenience of electricity use in the future, Lin Zhengjun also asked an electrician to help install sockets when laying out the wiring in the old house.

When I turned on the switch, a white snowflake appeared on the TV, accompanied by a sharp rustling sound.

Lin Zhengjun flipped through the channels and soon found CCTV, where the program was "Teaching You English".

The Central Television Station was established in 79 by renaming Yanjing Television Station. Almost all the staff of Yanjing Television Station was emptied out, so Yanjing Television station recruited new staff and reorganized itself.

79 years ago, there was no CCTV.

A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit reads an English word, then says the subtitle, and then says the Chinese meaning. The background wall of the studio is just a line of red words, which is very monotonous.

Moreover, the picture was not very clear, it was distorted, and it jumped from time to time.

But even so, Lin Sanhuai and the other two shouted excitedly: "There's a shadow, there's a shadow!"

"Set up this fishbone antenna and connect it to the back of the TV, and the picture will probably be much clearer!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"What are you waiting for? Pick it up now!" Lin Hongying's face was full of anticipation.

Lin Zhengjun thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea. We should move the TV and VCR to the yard of the food cooperative so that the folks can go and watch the programs and movies, just like watching an open-air movie, and have a happy and peaceful Spring Festival!"

The reason why Lin Zhengjun planned this was because he knew that television was too sensational these days. As long as you turned on the TV, the whole village would come out immediately and your house would be flooded with people. You would have to provide cigarettes and tea, small stools, and even clean up the melon seed shells!

In short, there is no peace!

In this case, it would be better to put it in a food cooperative!
