The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Not long after Fang Hui's birthday, it was the 50th National Day.

It was the turn of the century, and the Military Parade of the Century was still worth looking forward to, so Zhao Shucheng, Qiao Ran and the others arrived at the parade location early to wait.

Although it was not the first time for Zhao Shucheng to watch this military parade, it might be the first time for him to be there.This military parade can be described as unusual. Many arms and weapons born in the new era entered the parade for the first time.In terms of weapons and equipment, more than 42% of the 90.00 types of equipment reviewed were new equipment, and most of them were independently designed and produced.

After watching the military parade, Qiao Ran and Zhao Ye were extremely excited. After all, this was the first time they had seen so many advanced weapons and equipment.

Time passed and it soon came to the end of December.

Zhao Shucheng's high school life is still so simple and unpretentious, every day is two o'clock and one line.

As the temperature drops, especially when the cold wind blows southward, the trees on campus gradually lose their green clothes and become bare.There were fewer pedestrians on the road, and the students also changed into blue and white school uniforms.

Many students have already put on down jackets. Sweaters and woolen pants are stuffed into the loose uniforms, making them look bloated.

Seeing that the end of the semester is coming again, teachers from various subjects have begun to beat the students. Students who usually do not like to study are also busy copying notes, drawing key points, reviewing and memorizing.

That day, while eating lunch, Lin Jiamo said: "New Year's Day is next week, and the millennium is coming. What are you going to do?"

Zhao Ye also said on the side: "Yes, how about we go out to play together?"

Fang Hui and Lin Jiamo also nodded. After all, hanging out with more people is fun.

Qiao Ran hesitated and said, "It's New Year's Day, I don't know if I have time."

"Why, it's not a day off. You don't want to go to the library to read, do you?"

"My mother said she would be back on New Year's Day, but I don't know exactly when, so..."

"That's it, it doesn't matter. Just tell us when the time comes."

Qiao Ran's father was a policeman. He died in the line of duty when Qiao Ran was in junior high school.Two years ago, Qiao Ran's mother went to England. She originally wanted to take Qiao Ran with her, but Qiao Ran didn't agree. On the one hand, she felt that the place was unfamiliar to her, and on the other hand, she couldn't bear to leave her classmates and friends here, so the mother and son decided to go together. From then on, people lived in separate parts of the world.

From then on, Qiao Ran could basically only communicate with her mother by phone, and only on specific days, basically two days a month, when she could talk to her mother.

Lin Jiamo asked Fang Hui to go buy greeting cards together on the weekend. After all, it is still very popular for classmates to give each other greeting cards.Fang Hui was originally unwilling to go. After all, she had never had such a habit, and there were not many people to whom she could send greeting cards before.

Even though Fang Hui has become a lot more cheerful now, the friends around him are the five people who usually play better.

However, when Fang Hui expressed her thoughts, she was criticized by Lin Jiamo:
"Fang Hui, how can you think like this? When other classmates give you greeting cards, you are not allowed to return gifts? You can't just accept greeting cards and not return gifts. People will definitely think you are stingy."

Fang Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then!"

On the weekend, while Fang Hui and Lin Jiamo were buying greeting cards, Zhao Shucheng, Qiao Ran, and Zhao Ye also gathered at Qiao Ran's house and chatted.

Winter is not like other times when you can go out and play everywhere. The cold wind makes people reluctant to go out at all.So the three of us can only watch movies or TV at home.

The three of them searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything to watch on TV or movies. They had already watched some of the discs they bought before.

At this moment, an interview program suddenly aired on TV, talking about the Millennium Bug problem.

"The Y1999K problem is indeed very serious. For example, Su Hong, you made a phone call at 23:59 on the last day of 3. It only lasted 100 minutes, but the phone bill showed that you had been calling for 3 years. Minus [-] minutes."

The female host asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

"Of course, it's very possible that we don't have to worry about this problem at all. After all, it's the end of the world and we're all game over."

The hostess asked: "Do you believe in the end of the world?"

After hearing this, Zhao Ye said: "I'll go, is it true?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Why, you still believe in the end of the world? Didn't we already get through the end of the world safely when Nostradamus did it?"

"This is different. You haven't heard of the millennium bug. There are a lot of news talking about this doomsday, with noses and eyes. And haven't you heard that traffic control is now in place, and some flights have even been cancelled." Zhao Ye said.

Qiao Ran nodded after hearing this and said, "Zhao Ye is right. My mother originally booked a flight for the day before New Year's Day. Because the flight was canceled, she had no choice but to come back this time."It is said that there are more discussions about the end of the world there, and some people have even begun to spend wildly, preparing to spend all their money before the end of the world. '

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The Y1978K problem is just a computer program problem, also commonly known as a bug, because at the beginning, computer storage was very expensive. In order to save precious To store resources, programmers use six-digit abbreviations to represent time. For example, June 6, 8, is represented by 780608. The first 19 is omitted, which seemed like nothing in the past, or before the millennium. It's nothing, but after the millennium, you will encounter a problem. That is January 2000, 1, the abbreviation is 1, but the system automatically determines it as January 000101, 1900. For the system, this It’s just turning back time. It doesn’t seem like much at first glance, but for many industries that rely on computer calculations, it’s a bigger problem.”

"Just like the phone calls mentioned just now, as well as banking, transportation, medical and other systems, there will be some impact. Of course, this Y[-]K bug will still exist on some old computers or computers that have not modified the bug, but it has been modified If it passes, there will be no problems. The flight was canceled because some of the chip procedures on the plane were still the same as before, in order to avoid problems."

"As for the end of the world, it just happens that most countries in the West are religious, and the doctrines also happen to have statements about the end of the world. Just in time for the millennium bug, they will naturally associate it with each other and then ferment."

Qiao Ran felt relieved when he heard what Zhao Shucheng said.Although he didn't really believe in the idea of ​​the end of the world, after all, there were rumors everywhere, and his mother couldn't come back, so he was somewhat worried.

Lin Jiamo and Fang Hui also bought greeting cards and came back. Seeing Lin Jiamo holding a large box of greeting cards, Fang Hui couldn't help but ask: "Jia Mo, why did you buy so many?" "Is it a lot? I think it's okay. , look, these are what I prepared for my elementary school students, these are for my junior high school students, these are for our classmates, and these are for the teachers. I think these are not necessarily enough. Besides, this year It’s the millennium, so of course I have to spend all my money.”

"Jiamo, do you still believe in the end of the world? Didn't Chen Xun say before that the end of the world does not exist?"

After hearing this, Lin Jiamo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's the end of the world, but this happens only once in a thousand years, so we have to celebrate it well." '

Fang Hui looked at Lin Jiamo's greeting card, and then looked at what she was holding in her hand, and felt that she was really missing something.In particular, Lin Jiamo's greeting cards come in many types, including cartoon ones, landscape ones, three-dimensional ones, frosted ones, and music ones.

"Fang Hui, what are you going to give to Chen Xun?" Lin Jiamo looked at the greeting card in Fang Hui's hand and asked curiously.

"This!" Fang Hui said, shaking the greeting card in his hand. It was an ordinary greeting card with light pencil drawings on it, giving people a warm and fresh feeling.

"Why did you choose this? It has no special features." Lin Jiamo said a little strangely.

"Nothing, I like this. By the way, what about you?"

After such a long time, Fang Hui and Lin Jiamo finally discovered that Zhao Shucheng really had no intention of falling in love.Of course, it's not that Zhao Shucheng really doesn't like girls, but they also learned from Qiao Ran and Zhao Ye that Zhao Shucheng didn't plan to fall in love in high school, so the relationship between the two of them was better than before, and they both decided to wait. After graduating from high school, I confessed to Zhao Shucheng.

So now the relationship between the two is very good, and they don't mind each other knowing that they like the same person. Even if they are sending gifts, they can also ask and understand in person.

"Then, this is it!" Lin Jiamo was holding a white one with a small red peach heart on a white background, which looked very three-dimensional.

"Are you ready to confess your love?"

"Of course not. Since Chen Xun doesn't want to fall in love early in high school, then I can express it secretly."

In the days after Monday, the whole school seemed to be filled with greeting cards. Students in the same class, students from other classes, and even students from other schools were constantly sending and receiving greeting cards.

Lin Jiamo also held two greeting cards and said to Zhao Shucheng, "Chen Xun, this is yours." '

Then he said to Zhao Ye who was watching helplessly: "Zhao Ye, this is yours." '

Zhao Ye looked at his own greeting card, then at Zhao Shucheng's greeting card, and said, "Jia Mo, why are the ones you gave me different from those given by Chen Xun?"

Lin Jiamo looked at Zhao Shucheng with a guilty conscience and said, "I bought it casually, and the one I wrote on is the one. If you don't want it, I will take it back."

"No, I want it, I want it!" Zhao Ye quickly put away the greeting card from Lin Jiamo, and even put it in his schoolbag, holding it tightly with a book, for fear of getting a little damaged.

When Qiao Ran saw that Fang Hui also gave him a greeting card, he asked curiously: "Fang Hui, why did you also send this?"

"Jiamo and I went to buy it together. You can give it away if you want. But have you received a lot of greeting cards? After all, you have often received letters before, so it should be the same for greeting cards, right?"

"No!" Qiao Ran said somewhat insincerely.Of course, the premise was that Fang Hui didn't see the greeting cards exposed from the hole in Qiao Ran's desk, but Fang Hui didn't say anything.

To Fang Hui's expectation, some classmates in the class actually sent greeting cards to Fang Hui. Although they simply wrote auspicious words such as "Happy New Year and all the best", this already made Fang Hui very happy, so She responded seriously to everyone who sent her a greeting card.Fang Hui couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, Lin Jiamo took her to buy greeting cards and bought some more. Otherwise, she would really have been embarrassed that she couldn't return the gift.

Of course, Fang Hui and Lin Jiamo knew that Zhao Shucheng actually received more greeting cards. After all, they had known for a long time that Zhao Shucheng was very popular. Not only in their class, but also in the same grade, even the senior students liked him.

But what they didn't expect was that there were girls from junior high school who came to the class to send greeting cards to Zhao Shucheng.

Of course, it's not like Zhao Shucheng didn't send greeting cards to people, especially the five-person group, each of whom had one.Those in the class also gave some, but to those girls from other classes or other girls who took the initiative to send greeting cards to Zhao Shucheng, Zhao Shucheng did not continue to send gifts in return.After all, the greeting cards Zhao Shucheng received were not one or two, nor dozens, but hundreds of greeting cards. Even if a greeting card only cost a few cents, Zhao Shucheng was reluctant to part with it for dozens of dollars. After all, his parents gave him so much money. I don't have much pocket money.

Of course, although greeting cards are scattered around the school, they are not the theme of the school this week.

The most important thing for each class is to prepare for the New Year Party.After all, this is New Year's Day in 2000, which is the end of a century and the beginning of a new century. Both from the national level and the school level, we attach great importance to it.

Even though the end of the semester is imminent, it cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the students at all.The class cadres take the lead and gather together every day after school to discuss and decide on the project for the day.

Basically, every student is required to participate and perform a show. They can collaborate with other students on the show, or they can perform alone.

When this decision was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the class. For some people who like to express themselves, it naturally feels like nothing, but for some people who don't like to express themselves so much, it feels a bit overwhelming.

However, Zhao Shucheng also said that even if you really have no talent and cannot sing, dance or perform cross talk, you can still recite poetry or simply tell everyone a joke.This allowed many people who thought they were not good at singing and dancing to know that they could finally put on a show.

After the morning class ended on Friday and the first class in the afternoon, the whole class began to mobilize.Those who blow up balloons blow up balloons, those who make paper cuts, and those who hang ribbons hang ribbons.

Some students began to move tables, chairs and benches, and the desks and podiums formed an opening, leaving an area in the middle for students to perform their talents.Others prepare snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, oranges, bananas, apples, and candies.

Zhao Shucheng borrowed a tape recorder from his English teacher and planned to play songs to add to the atmosphere.Fortunately, Zhao Shucheng had already made an appointment with the teacher, otherwise he would have been snatched away by other classes.

Fang Hui and several classmates gathered at the blackboard, preparing to draw the New Year's poster, which had to be painted on both the front and back blackboards.
