Chapter 184 Nice Pop Songs
Those who received the news quickly went to ask Chen Yigen. When they heard that the recruitment requirements were women, unmarried and able to read, most of them were immediately eliminated.
The literacy rate in rural Yuezhou is not high in this era, especially for girls. Many people regret it. If they had known it, they would have sent their girls to school. This feeling is as painful as missing hundreds of millions.
Chen Xia returned to the village, which was definitely big news for the young people in the village.
Look, many young people have gathered together in the old house of Chen Xia, and the tables are filled with snacks, especially those tropical fruits, mangoes, pineapples, and papayas that they have never heard of.
Chen Qiu was enthusiastically helping everyone cut fruits, and the people around him were drooling, while Chen Dong was showing his little man's book to everyone.
The recorder is playing the popular song "Flying to the Distant Hometown" of this era. This is the theme song of the most popular movie "Love in Lushan". The tape was finally bought by Chen Xia from the provincial capital Xinhua Bookstore.
There was also a group of music lovers sitting around, listening intoxicatedly to the sound coming from the tape recorder, and some people were humming.
Chen Guolin's youngest daughter Chen Juan was helping Chen Qiu process the fruit, and said enviously:
"Aqiu, your family is so good now. This is how life after becoming a worker? There is a recorder, meat to eat, and fruit, wow, it's like a dream."
Chen Qiu replied with a smile: "So, we must study hard and try to consider going to a technical secondary school or university. Then we will become workers and live the kind of life you envy."
"That's your brother, it's not good for me. His salary is only enough to support him alone, as if he's stupid. By the way, does your brother have a partner? Now many families in the village want to introduce your brother to your brother, and your family doesn't dislike rural household registration anyway."
Chen Qiu thought for a while, "I don't know if it counts, but there is a sister who is very close to my brother. I think the two of them can succeed."
"Really? Is it good-looking? Is it better than Sister Qiao?"
"Of course it looks good, unlike Sister Qiao. She is a city girl, white, and a nurse. She is even younger than me, and she eats most of my snacks."
"Aqiu, tell me what snacks do you have in your family?" Chen Juan's thoughts immediately changed.
Chen Qiu replied casually:
"Anyway, there are fruits all year round, such as wheat milk essence, white rabbit, fruit candy, and chocolate. I'm tired of eating osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, and waffle cake. At most, it's soda in summer, and I have to buy popsicles by myself. By the way, my brother said that he would find a way to buy a refrigerator this year, so that he can have popsicles at any time if he wants to eat popsicles."
Chen Juan next to her was already drooling all over the floor, wishing she could marry Chen Xia and live such an emperor-like life in the future.
Chen Qiu didn't know that the girl next to her had a different mind. She treated Chen Juan as her best friend, but Chen Juan wanted to be her sister-in-law.
When Chen Xia appeared, everyone stood up, except for his uncle Chen Yize.
Chen Yize's entire head was buried in the papaya and didn't know what he was like. Do you want to become a shemale? Why do men have to be so big?
"Brother Xia..."
"Brother Xiaoxia..."
Everyone stood upright and greeted him. Chen Xia waved, "Don't worry about me, do whatever I want, take whatever I want to eat."
The young people in Yuezhou are shy and shy, unlike the ethnic minorities I met in Ruili, who often sing and dance, so when Chen Xia appeared, the atmosphere became a little cold.
People now regard him as an "adult" and are not very relaxed in front of him.
Chen Xia also wants to relax, otherwise how could he be worthy of this 19-year-old body?
"Come on, who will sing a song first? I'll treat him to chocolate candy," said he took out a handful of candy from his pocket.
A little girl next to her said in surprise: "I'll come, I'll sing "Spring Dingdong" for everyone."
Chen Xia clapped her hands, "Okay."
"The spring water dings and spring water dings and sounds. I jumped off the hills and walked across the grass to my side. Spring water, you go wherever you go, singing songs, playing the strings, flowing into the distance..."
After the song was sung, everyone applauded. Chen Xia whistled, took out two pieces of chocolate and gave it to her, and asked again:
"Who will have another song?"
Then several literary and artistic activists raised their hands, and Chen Xia signaled them to come one by one, as long as everyone who sang and danced had chocolate. Now, the Chen family yard was filled with joy and laughter, and everyone was happy.
At this time, Chen Yize stopped doing it, "Xiao Xiaxia, how about you give everyone a song? Are you going to say okay?"
"Okay!" The shouts were very enthusiastic.
Chen Xia didn't care, so he stood up and cleared his throat, "Then I'll sing a pop song from a big city for you, the song title is "Late"."
"You come to me and smile
Caused my troubles
I already have her in my heart
Oh...she arrives before you
You come to me and smile
Caused my troubles
I already have her in my heart
Oh...she arrived before you
She is gentle and cute
She is beautiful and generous
Until one day, you have him in your heart
You'll understand how I feel
Love must be sincere, not shared
Oh... I'm sorry to you."
Chen Xia sang playfully, but everyone who listened to it was stupid. Why is this lyrics and tunes so unserious? Why is it so... good?
When he finished singing a song, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
In 1981, the original singer Zhang Xing was still working as a worker at the Shanghai Qunyi Radio Plant, and Chen Xia shamelessly became a copywriter.
However, Chen Xia could only sing such songs in the village. If she sang such a mediocre sound at the unit, she would definitely be reported. Even if she had to sing, she could only sing Cantonese songs that everyone could not understand.
Popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan have pirated tapes in big cities in mainland China, and are very popular, but in small cities, they are still in the era of revolutionary songs.
However, this abnormal ideology will not last long. As the opening up deepens, the inclusiveness of society is becoming stronger and stronger. Slowly, mainland singers have also begun to emerge.
Later, a large number of popular songs such as "The Flower House Girl", "Nothing", and "Asian Throne", including the strong arrival of Hong Kong and Taiwan music and TV series. It can be said that the literary and artistic circles in the 1980s and 1990s were definitely a competition among hundreds of schools of thought and a hundred flowers bloomed.
The Chen family courtyard was lively, while Chen Qiaogu was looking for companions in the village.
There are many girls like her in the village who graduated from junior high school and did not get into technical secondary school or high school, so she just chose those girls who have a good relationship with her.
Chen Xia didn't know this, and it didn't matter if he knew it. It was understandable that a squad leader wanted to form a cabinet by himself. Should he recruit a few opponents to give him a headache? This is not an official novel.
When these girls heard that they went to Ke Town to work, their monthly income of 50 yuan was all so surprised that they almost jumped up. You should know that at their age, they could not get into a good school, and there were only two possibilities for going home.
One is to do farm work when getting married, and the other is to do farm work at home.
But how could these girls who have already gained knowledge and have an eye-opener go farming peacefully?
