Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 23 The "World Cup" Broadcast of 1978

The second brother, Jiang He, followed Jiang Shan's paintbrush and looked at it step by step. The more he looked at it, the more interesting he was: "Are these world-famous paintings like the Mona Lisa?"

"That's right," Jiang Shan nodded and said with a smile, "Our TV station wants to make an advertisement to go to Winter Beijing, Japan to participate in the competition, and... also wants to get an award back."

Jiang He was startled when he heard that: "Is it just you?"

"It's not that easy, but I want to try," Jiang Shan finally stopped his brush: "Second brother, what do you think?"

"If you want me to say... there is a way," Jiang He said, pointing to the drawing paper, "They are all famous paintings in the world, and if they change shape after smelling the cigarettes, they are tantamount to useless paintings."

"That's right, that's right," Jiang Shan felt that the second brother's analysis was on point.

Jiang He continued: "It's the same as a human being, as soon as you smoke a good cigarette..."

Speaking of this, Jiang He looked at the big front door on the writing desk again, and immediately felt uncomfortable: "Let's smoke less of this cigarette in the future."

Jiang Shan: "Success."

On the second day, no one in the family was willing to wake them up, and they didn't know how late the two brothers stayed up before going to bed.

It wasn't until noon that Jiang Ma couldn't help pushing the door open and shouting, "It's time to eat."

The family ate around a square table. Jiang Shan glanced at the meals on the table, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried leeks with vermicelli, braised stinky tofu, and a Chinese cabbage tofu soup.

Zen is strong.

"I heard that Lao Cao in the front yard went out early this morning to buy a TV." Jiang Ma scooped up two spoonfuls of eggs for Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaobai: "He hasn't come back yet."

Jiang Shan chewed his rice and asked, "How much does the TV cost now?" He really didn't know the price.

"More than 200," the eldest brother Jiang Hai replied, "Why, are you going to bring one back?"

Jiang Shan has always had this thought: "It's not impossible."

Jiang Hai laughed: "Then you have to work hard. One copy of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons" is definitely not enough. You have to draw some more "The Monkey King", "Havoc in Heaven" and so on."

Jiang Shan also smiled: "There should be 60 copies of this set of Journey to the West. It is estimated that the publishing house has handed over to several painters. I will ask when the manuscripts are delivered in two days."

Jiang Hai nodded, now he absolutely believes in the words of the third child: "Don't work too hard, it's good that our family hasn't had a TV for so many years."

"That's right," Jiang Ma hurriedly agreed, "With that money, I'm reluctant to buy a TV set, it's enough for our family to eat pork for two years."

"You can't say that," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "If you have the conditions, you should still buy one, such as the two World Cup football matches broadcast on Yanjing TV in June."

Jiang He, who hadn't returned to the city at that time, directly asked, "What is the World Cup?"

The boss, Jiang Hai, looked at him: "It's a football game in which many countries participate together, and the name is "World Cup."

"This is the first time our country broadcasts the World Cup," Jiang Shan deliberately lowered his voice: "It is said that Song Shixiong is still in a hotel in Hong Kong, and he is doing the commentary for the audience."

The younger sister Jiang Chuan didn't take it seriously: "Brother, I don't like watching football."

Jiang Shan stared at her and said, "Do you know what the last question in the geography test paper for this year's college entrance examination is?"

Jiang Chuan was momentarily stunned by the question: "I...I don't know."

Jiang Shan said one word at a time: "Someone set off from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, during the winter solstice. When he set off, what season was it?"

Everyone at the table was eating and listening, and they didn't know what the third child wanted to say.

Jiang Shan continued: "There are a total of 580 million candidates this year. Many of them can't read Buenos Aires well, but as long as they have seen the World Cup, they can easily answer this question. It is summer."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chuan understood what the little brother meant: "If you want to put it this way, this TV is really important for the college entrance examination."

Jiang Shan: "That's right, there will be gains as much as possible."

Jiang Chuan: "No wonder my sister-in-law keeps complaining that we don't have a TV at home. It really affects her studies."

Why did Jiang Shan feel that the topic was off topic? He frowned and said, "This question has a total of 10 points, and my sister-in-law is only 10 points short?"

The boss, Jiang Hai, answered immediately, "Not only that, it's almost time to go."

"Hey," Jiang Shan said, "So, our sister-in-law's failure in the college entrance examination this year has nothing to do with whether we have a TV or not."

Seven years ago, in order not to go to the countryside with her parents, her sister-in-law Hu Lina quickly married the eldest of the Jiang family after being introduced, and soon gave birth to a pair of children.

A child who grew up in the teaching staff building of Pujiang University suddenly lived in a courtyard in the alley.

The gap in my heart can be imagined.

Therefore, although the Jiang family has always taken good care of her, Hu Lina didn't pay attention at all.

After all, she is a low-marriage, so they should treat her well.

In Hu Lina's eyes, if the times weren't in the way, how could Jiang Hai marry the daughter of a university professor based on him.

But just when she thought it would be like that in her life, the college entrance examination resumed.

Immediately afterwards, her parents also came back.

Not only did they both resume their jobs at Pujiang Jiaotong University, but they also brought their younger brother back to the dormitory for teachers and staff at Pujiang Jiaotong University.

The occurrence of these things made Hu Lina even more eager to get rid of the fate of the courtyard.

She first decided that she had to take the college entrance examination, and only the lush campus with a strong atmosphere of the school was the place for her to stay.

College students, and then international students, whenever they think of these things, the corners of Hu Lina's mouth always curl up unknowingly.

But in a blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaobai was awakened by "Mom, Mom".

Alas, Hu Lina is scolding herself every day for why she didn't cherish herself back then, and she was already procrastinating at a young age.

If this is walking on campus, I won't be laughed to death by other single girls.

Although there are many adults who take their children to take the college entrance examination, some even have two generations of a family walking into the examination room at the same time.

But, she is the only one who can't bear it.

Seven years have passed, and Jiang Hai, who has been taking care of her in every possible way for the first few years, is already tired and sees it through.

"Don't say 10 points," Jiang Hai's expression was very calm at this time: "Even if you give her another 100 points, it won't save her, but after you say that, I really want to watch this World Cup."

Jiang Shan actually wanted to see it more: "Wait another four years."

The "Yanjing TV Station", which has just been renamed Yangshi, urgently dispatched a six-member team to Hong Kong after receiving instructions from the chief executive.

Among them, Song Shixiong is the commentator.

In fact, YanTV has not been authorized by FIFA at all, but "borrowed" the public signal of the international broadcast satellite.

Then, Hong Kong, which is the closest receiving distance, will carry out the broadcast.

After arriving at the destination, there are only the last two games left in the World Cup.

Song Shixiong went to the local Xinhua News Agency to collect a large number of sports newspapers, cut out the heads of "Kempes", "Rensenbrink" and others, and only then matched the players when they were broadcast.

After the start of the game, there was a picture of the stadium on the TV, and the Argentine Monument Cup stadium was full of flying flowers. Everyone was shocked. In Song Shixiong's own words, "So this is the World Cup."
