It was evening.
A large number of people gathered in Fang Hao's courtyard.
Almost all of them were neighbors and some hooligans from the village who came to watch TV.
They were clearly quite curious and interested.
After all, rural life was quite boring these days; many people could only sleep at night, as there was no television at all.
Mobile phones can be used for entertainment.
Now that Fang Hao's family has bought a color television, they have instantly become the focus of the entire village.
It's normal for people to come and watch.
This is something that very few people in the surrounding area have, not to mention that joining in the fun is in the nature of Chinese people.
"Sweet Potato Seven!"
"Hey you idiot, don't sit so high—your head is blocking the view behind you—"
"Exactly!"
"If you're sitting on the ground in front, don't stand up randomly—otherwise, the people behind you won't be able to see you."
at this time.
The television is playing a TV series.
Some people sat on the floor.
Some people were standing directly in the yard.
Without exception!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the television, which was playing on the Pearl River Channel, and the dramas on it were reruns of old shows from a couple of years ago.
However, everyone still watched it with great interest!
In rural areas where there are no televisions, even watching porn is considered rare and interesting.
Older people might not even understand Mandarin; they'll just be watching the visuals.
Everyone's just curious!
'

Looking at everyone's reactions.
Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.
Indeed, things seem rarer when you've never seen them before.
It's almost predictable.
For the next period of time.
The village's CBD will become a hub, with large numbers of people gathering there to watch TV.
Actually, having a large group isn't necessarily a bad thing!
They're neighbors anyway.
There's nothing wrong with watching TV.
As long as they remain self-disciplined, it will be fine.
It'll also be a good opportunity for my parents to have some fun.
In the village, you not only need to have a bad reputation and a fearsome name, but you also need people who are willing to associate with you.
Those wealthy people are often charitable.
All they want is a good reputation!
"Tsk tsk tsk!~"
"Ah Ba! This TV of yours is really a wonderful thing! I've lived for so many years and this is the first time I've ever watched a TV series. It's even more exciting than the operas performed in the village during the New Year—"
"When I have money in the future, I'll buy a TV too!"
"Hmph! You think you can buy a color TV? You might not even be able to afford three dishes in your entire life!"
after that.
The crowd watched and discussed among themselves.
The atmosphere was still quite lively.
Everyone really liked this TV set, and many people were watching TV for the first time.
I was incredibly excited!
Previously, we could only watch movies when people went to the countryside to show them; unlike now, we can watch TV series at home.
That feeling is completely different!
This is similar to how having a computer at home and playing computer games at an internet cafe are two completely different experiences.
"Shh!"
"Everyone, please be quiet! Let's watch TV properly—"
The crowd was getting louder and louder.
Some of them spoke up to stop it.
Clearly, everyone's attention was focused on the television.
The TV series being played was an old, popular show, but many people in the village had never seen it before, so they watched it with great interest.
After all, none of us have that kind of opportunity!
Who can afford a TV to watch dramas?
For example, the 1982 TV series "Journey to the West" broke viewership records, but its popularity was limited to urban households with television sets.
There aren't many television sets in the village!
Even if I wanted to see it, I wouldn't have the chance.
"Wife!"
"Is it pretty?"
period.
Fang Hao asked Song Yaxin in a low voice.
After all, the other person was watching very intently, which shows that television is still very attractive to people in this day and age.
There is no advanced internet.
An era when information was relatively limited!
Normally, people have limited channels to receive information from the outside world, unlike in later generations where a mobile phone can provide access to the entire world.
"It looks pretty good."
Song Yaxin nodded slightly.
His eyes remained glued to the television, clearly showing his interest in the drama being played.
Actually, this was the first time she had ever watched television.
And it's a color television!
"Then take your time looking at it."
"I'm planning to go squid fishing with the Yankees; the water's better tonight—"
Fang Hao continued speaking.
Preparing to set sail and catch squid.
Making money is the most important thing!
As for watching TV?
That's just an additive to life.
Besides, there's not much good TV drama these days.
I need to get a DVD player and buy some classic movies to watch later. There are already quite a few classic films from Hong Kong these days.
"Are you still going out to sea?"
Fang Yaxin was also stunned for a moment.
Most of the time, we go out to sea in the early morning or at dawn; the risks of going out to sea in the evening or at night are relatively high.
However, sometimes "special" fish species can be better caught at night, such as squid, which are attracted by lights at night.
"There are so many squid lately!"
"Let's go out and try our luck."
Fang Hao nodded again.
It's squid season now.
If you're lucky, you can still catch some; squid can be found for about two yuan per pound.
"Um."
"Then—please be careful."
Song Yaxin nodded and gave instructions.
Actually, once you like someone, you'll start to care about them.
When she first married into the family, she didn't have any good feelings towards Fang Hao.
Even if Fang Hao were to die.
She probably won't feel too sad.
I'll just be a living widow!
But things are different now.
She began to care about and be concerned about Fang Hao.
"Yankees!"
"Stop looking at it now, let's go out to sea to catch squid."
Fang Hao immediately stood up.
He shouted at Fang Qiang, who was watching TV intently.
"what?"
"Okay—okay!"
Fang Qiang immediately responded.
Then, somewhat reluctantly, I looked away.
After all, I was really enjoying the TV series, and I still felt a little unsatisfied.
This is my first time watching a TV series.
They're definitely still very interested.
"Ah-Ba!"
"Going out to sea so late?"
"Are you planning to go squid hunting? There are a lot of squid these days—Ang Shijiu caught over a hundred pounds last night—"
In a short time.
When the others saw Fang Hao and Fang Qiang go out to sea, they all asked questions.
"Um."
Fang Hao nodded to appease the crowd.
With squid plentiful now, a hard-earned trip to the sea can yield a hundred or so kilograms, which can be sold for a good amount of money.
Even making dried squid would be quite good; in his previous life, he often used some to drink.
Then.
The two then went out.
We need to hurry and set off!
Otherwise, if you go too late, they'll have already caught them all.
Actually, catching fish also depends on luck.
For example, to lure squid with lights, you need to go to sea areas where squid are active and then use lights to illuminate the sea surface to attract and entice them.
As for how many can be caught?
That depends on luck and ability.
In later times, many fishing boats used squid fishing machines to automatically catch squid, one after another.
That scene was quite shocking!
