Sun Weimin said to Sun Dahai: "The TV signal here is not very good, but the communication company can make its own antenna. It will be much clearer after installing it."
The teacher said: "We usually turn on the TV in the cafeteria at seven o'clock every night so that everyone can watch "Xinwen Lianbo" and "Long Province News". After that, you can sing or watch other programs, but you can't play too late.
Deputy political commissar, please arrange a few officers to formulate relevant systems and take charge of this work."
Sun Dahai also put forward his own suggestion: "If you want more people to see the TV clearly, it is best to nail a shelf on the wall and place the TV and speakers high, so that it looks more convenient."
Sun Dahai's suggestion was naturally adopted by everyone.
The next morning, while they were nailing shelves in the canteen and installing outdoor antennas, Sun Dahai and the others had already left the family area and were driving on the way to Xiaowei Hanyang Base.
Sun Dahai and the others set out at around eight o'clock in the morning. In addition to their Coaster, they also had the base truck that came to deliver goods yesterday.
The distance to go is more than 200 kilometers. There is snow on the road and it is difficult to pick up the speed. In addition, there is time for lunch and rest on the road, so it is estimated that we will not arrive before evening.
This section of the road is farther north, so there are fewer and fewer vehicles, and the road condition is not as good as the previous road. The two cars are very oily, and they can drive at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour at most.
Fortunately, this road is the main trunk line in the province, and there are some small villages and towns along the way from time to time, so that people will not feel too tired mentally.
When passing through the county town at noon, everyone had a quick meal and took the opportunity to let the car's engine rest. Driving on snow, despite the slow speed, the car's engine was very taxing.
An hour later, the two cars set off again.
At this time, the journey was already more than halfway, and the road was no longer flat, but hills appeared one after another. The road was no longer nearly a straight line, and began to change with the terrain.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Dahai and his party arrived in the town, preparing to take a last rest, use the toilet, and then go directly to the base.
The Xiaowei Hanyang Base is within the administrative jurisdiction of this town, more than 30 kilometers away from here.
There was only such a short distance left, and we had no plan to stop. Who told Sun Yuanyuan to say that she wanted to use the toilet? So everyone stopped one more time.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the town was actually quite lively. Gao Yi took Sun Yuanyuan to the toilet, and Sun Dahai also got out of the car and walked around.
This kind of small town is generally not very big. In just one street, the essence of the town is gathered together.
Not far from where they parked their car was the town's supply and marketing cooperative, with many people coming in and out.
Sun Dahai waited for Gao Yi and Sun Yuanyuan to come out of the toilet, and called them over to go in and take a look together.
After opening the thick curtain, Sun Dahai felt his eyes go dark as soon as he entered. It took him a while to get used to the light in the room.
In fact, the room was not dark, a few big light bulbs were on, but as Sun Dahai looked at the snowy scene, it was too bright outside and his eyes were a little dazzled.
The products on the counter are quite festive, including couplets, Chinese characters for blessing, window grilles, and some firecrackers, which attract people's attention.
Sun Dahai wanted to buy some firecrackers, take them to the base to set off, and celebrate the New Year with everyone. As soon as he asked about the price of the firecrackers, Gao Yi stopped him.
It turns out that this sheep is relatively timid and doesn't get fat in winter. If it is frightened by the sound of firecrackers, it will definitely lose weight. Sun Dahai is a stick, and he almost does bad things with good intentions.
There is a counter next to it, and a senior chef is sitting behind it reading a newspaper, but there are no products on display.
At this time, a villager opened the door and walked in, carrying a sack on his body. He walked directly to the counter, took out two balls of leather from the sack, and placed them on the counter.
"Lao Hu, stop reading the newspaper now and come to business." The customer talked to the old master casually, looking very familiar.
"I said you didn't rest at home on New Year's Eve, and you came here to sell goods. What's the matter, you need money in a hurry?" As he said this, he shook out a piece of leather.
"This must be Mr. Wang's craftsmanship. This rabbit skin is really well tanned."
"I'm here to pick up Teacher Xiaoliu and a few children. They went to the city to participate in a report performance and will be sent to the town later. When I came here, I happened to meet Mr. Wang and he asked me to help him pack the things he had just packed.
Two pieces of leather were sold," the customer said.
Erxiao was curious and leaned over to take a closer look.
Lao Hu carefully checked the rabbit skin up and down, then put it down and opened another skin.
"Ah" Sun Yuanyuan was startled by the piece of leather, and quickly ran behind Sun Dahai and hid.
This was a gray-black wolf skin, relatively complete from head to toe. Although the teeth had been removed, it still looked lifelike. Not to mention Sun Yuanyuan, even Sun Dahai felt a little scared.
"Did you kill wolves?" Lao Hu was a little surprised.
Most of the wild wolves in the mountains live in packs and are very vindictive. A hunter once killed a wolf and was tracked to the village by the wolves, which surrounded him for several days.
In the end, the county asked the nearby garrison for help and shot half of the wolves before driving the rest back to the depths of the mountains.
"Wang Lao's novel, this should be a lone wolf, caught by his trap. If there were other companions, they would bite off the wolf's trapped leg and then escape together."
"Not to mention, I have received wolf skins with broken legs several times here. Now, the wolf is not only capable of being cruel, but has also become smarter. Life in the mountains will not be easy in the future."
While the two were talking, Lao Hu finished inspecting the wolf skin. He paid more than forty yuan in total for the two skins, of which the value of the wolf skin accounted for most.
"It's done, Lao Hu, I have to pick them up quickly. Let's see you again after the new year."
"Okay, Boss Li, see you during the Chinese New Year."
This is the purchasing point, Sun Dahai somewhat understood. In his previous life, he had read a lot of local novels and knew that before the 1990s, there would be state-owned local specialty companies in towns near mountainous areas, setting up points to purchase mountain products and game.
He walked over and asked Lao Hu: "Hello grandpa, is this the place where you buy mountain goods?"
Lao Hu, who was sorting the leather, raised his head, glanced at Sun Dahai, and said: "Yes, this is the Qingshan Town Procurement Department of the Municipal Souvenir Company. Little classmate, do you have anything to sell?"
"Oh, I don't have anything to sell. I'm here to celebrate the New Year at a relative's house. I want to take a look at the local products you bought here. If there are any suitable ones, I can buy them for my family to take back as gifts."
"Haha, little classmate, you may have misunderstood. We only purchase, not sell to individuals.
The wild products we collect are sold by category to pharmacies, tanneries or food factories, and they are processed again before being sold to individuals."
"Oh, I understand. It's just that I don't know the rules here. Please excuse me. Goodbye."
As Sun Dahai walked out, he was still thinking about it. He seemed to have heard a strange word just now, which made him feel so familiar.
