Since it is a women's volleyball match, we must support it.
At this time, the game had not yet started. Chen Xia hurriedly shouted, "Wu Shaochen, Mo Yongfang, Xie Liping, and Guo Musen, the four of you follow Wei Hongxing to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some sunflower seeds and peanuts, as well as some soda and a few more packs of firecrackers."
Xie Liping asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, why do you need firecrackers?"
"Nonsense! Our women's volleyball team is sure to win this match. Do you want to set off some firecrackers to celebrate?"
"Okay."
After saying that, the five of them ran happily towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
When some nitpickers heard Chen Xia say he was sure to win, they started to jeer: "Section Chief Chen, are you serious? You're so confident before the game even starts?"
At this time, everyone in the yard heard Chen Xia's words and turned around.
Chen Xia smiled strangely: "Why, do you want to make a bet? The loser will bark like a dog three times in the yard, hehe."
He actually wanted to ask if he could open a gambling pool and have everyone place their bets. Even if it was just enough to buy a popsicle, it would be fine. But in this day and age, if he did that, he would be afraid of being reported by the "Chaoyang Masses."
"Let's bet, but everyone has to be a witness."
The person who spoke was Bai Yunjun from the respiratory department. This guy didn't believe in evil and was determined to be a nitpicker.
Chen Xia hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he rushed to the restaurant. Everyone on the way was cheering for him:
"Come on, Mr. Chen!"
"Come on, Section Chief Chen!"
Chen Xia quickly waved his hands and said, "You should cheer for Bai Yunjun, because he's going to turn into a puppy soon."
Hahaha.
The atmosphere was very good and Chen Xia enjoyed her meal very much.
After a while, Wei Hongxing and others came back, bringing back a large amount of melon seeds, peanuts, soda and the like. Chen Fang also took out boxes of beer from the utility room, which brought the atmosphere on the scene to a climax.
Watching football without beer and fried chicken is soulless, but although Chen Xia has no shortage of chicken, there are still many pheasants purchased by Qingtan in the space.
But there were so many people at the scene that Chen Fang and her grandmother were about to collapse from exhaustion. So they decided to just forget it and save the food for themselves.
In 1982, there were only a few households in the entire Fourth Hospital that had color TVs. Chen Xia did bring back a few from Hong Kong, but they were either in the dean's house or in the home of one of the directors.
During this women's volleyball final, everyone was scratching their heads in anxiety, but there was nothing they could do. Hospitals nowadays are not like those of later generations. Every ward must have a TV. If all else fails, you can always live stream it on your phone.
We do have a radio, but how can watching a sports game be as exciting as seeing it in person?
It was a few young people from the infectious disease department and the emergency department who started the commotion. They knew that Section Chief Chen had a big color TV at home, and that this youngest section chief at the Fourth Hospital was always easy to talk to, so they clamored to go to Section Chief Chen's house to "visit".
In the end, Chen Xia wasn't found, but Gu Lin was. How could Gu Lin not agree? She just wanted more people, more fun.
So word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and all the young staff in the hospital heard that they could go to Meiyuan to watch the live volleyball game on TV in the evening, and everyone came, regardless of whether they were familiar with Chen Xia and Gu Lin or not.
A hundred people came in a flash, mostly young people. Fortunately, the Chen family's yard was quite large.
With so many people, there weren't enough stools, so these young people, who were very friendly, went to borrow stools from the neighbors around the Plum Garden. When they heard that they were doctors from the Fourth Hospital, they were of course willing to lend them stools. Not only that, but they were also attracted to the area.
As the "idol" of the younger generation of employees, Chen Xia must of course treat them to delicious food and fun things to do, and making a bet will also liven up the atmosphere.
Besides, would he lose? Even if he didn't have common sense, he knew that a five-peat meant winning the World Series five times in a row. That's why there's no sports lottery now, otherwise he could have made a killing.
The live broadcast signal hasn't come in yet, but everyone is enjoying watching the news on TV.
It was the first time for most people to see a color TV, and they stared at it with their eyes fixed, not wanting to look away for even a moment.
I believe that this is the situation tonight for every household with a TV across the country. The house must be crowded with people, or like Comrade Li Huanying, they will take the TV to the yard for everyone to watch together.
Not to mention that time, even ten years later, television was not yet popular. Later, the most common thing was video halls. The owner usually only needed a color TV and a video recorder to close the door at home and charge admission.
The key is that business is pretty good and I can make a lot of money every day.
The later it gets to night, the better the business in the video hall, because they often play some "*****". At that time, European and American ghost series and Japanese infantry systems were not popular in China. The most popular ones were movies from Hong Kong.
What about Shu Qi's "The Carnal Prayer Mat", Xu Ruoxuan's "Devil Angel", Li Lizhen's "*********", Yip Yuqing's "The Beauty", and Weng Hong's "The Ten Cruel Tortures of the Qing Dynasty"?
Wow, Chen Xia was in that era, using the pocket money given by his family to secretly go to see the movie with his classmates. Don’t even mention it being 18+, even if you were the owner of a kindergarten, he wouldn’t care.
It was also at that time that Chen Xia met Li Lizhen and fell in love with her for the rest of her life...
Wait, I seem to be off topic. If I continue, my character will collapse. Okay, let’s continue talking about the women’s volleyball team.
cough cough~~~~
Watching a game really needs an atmosphere. The more people there are, the more lively it is. Look, the live broadcast on TV is about to start, and even Dean Gu and his mother are here.
Everyone is a fan of the women's volleyball team, regardless of gender, age or status. Old Man Gu also wanted to join in the fun. When he saw so many people in the yard, he felt even happier and felt like he was back in his youth.
The live TV signal came in. Among so many players, Chen Xia only recognized Aunt Lang Ping. She didn't recognize other famous players like Sun Jinfang and Chen Zhaodi.
Chen Xia’s favorite female volleyball player in her previous life, Zhu Ting, the “King of Jokes” who always looked disdainful and domineering towards her opponents, had not yet been born.
Later, the media kept saying that Zhu Ting's playing style was very similar to Lang Ping's, with steady, accurate and fast spiking, strong jumping ability and good flexibility.
Now that the original coach Lang is on the court, Chen Xia is ready to appreciate the style of the Iron Hammer.
Also, the head coach, Yuan Weimin, who flashed by on TV, looked like he never smiled. If he hadn't later become the director of the General Administration of Sports, and the domestic football league was a mess at the time, Chen Xia wouldn't have known him.
As the game started, the cheers from the audience never stopped, cheering for the scores and lamenting for the losses.
The entire match wasn't particularly tense, as the women's volleyball team easily defeated Peru in three straight sets. At the end of the match, Chen Xia quickly asked everyone to go to the gate and set off firecrackers.
He didn't care whether it would wake others up or get cursed at in the room.
Bai Yunjun, under everyone's encouragement, barked like a dog three times with a constipated expression on his face...
The autumn of 1982 was wonderful, it was wonderful to be young...
