1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 43 Overt Conspiracy: Advance one step at a time!
Summer is really hard to eat!

Milan learned from its mistakes, and after careful thinking and planning, decided to change its tactics - one step at a time!
In the first few "encounters", Milan could only chat with Xia Tian in the corridor.

After a few times, I was able to say a few more words at the door.

Finally, two weeks later, Milan knocked on the door under the pretext of delivering food. Although he only stood outside the living room for a while, it was already a great improvement, wasn't it?

Looking at the simple modular bookshelf piled with books and magazines in summer, Milan seemed to be lost in thought.

Soon she started to "read books and newspapers". When she had nothing to do, she would discuss current affairs in the newspaper with Xia Tian and ask about the meaning of some articles in magazines.

Then she spoke up: "Xia Tian, ​​do you have the book "Little Smart Wanders in the Future"? I didn't buy it!"

Xia Tian nodded and took a book that was almost new from the bookshelf. It was the size of a notebook and very thin.

The cover shows a cartoon little boy waving goodbye with his hat against a black background, and it says "Little Smart Wanders in the Future" on it.

"Don't break it." Xia Tian handed it to Milan.

Milan took it carefully: "Thank you, I will return it right after reading it~"

After returning to his room, Milan put the book he had borrowed with great difficulty on the table, then threw himself on the bed, covering his mouth and rolling around wildly!
Hahahaha, I found a way!

A person who likes reading, writing, and can publish articles in magazines cannot refuse others from borrowing his books!
What does it mean when a girl chases a boy?
Milan, you are a genius.
Milan next door was lying on the bed with her mouth covered and going crazy, but Xia Tian naturally didn't know about it.

He was still thinking about the book "Little Smart Wandering in the Future".

This seemingly simple science fiction novel, like the children's literature written by Xia Tian, ​​comes with some comic illustrations.

However, the illustrations are rather simple. In comparison, Xia Tian’s drawings are much better, and they are in colored gouache.

This is a science fiction comic that describes the experiences and feelings of the young reporter Xiao Lingtong as he roams around the future world, and shows the development prospects of certain aspects of science and technology.

The work imagines the future of magnetic levitation cars, artificial organs, genetically modified food crops, and so on.

This is an early Chinese science fiction work, and can be considered the starting point of Chinese science fiction.

In 77, the United States released "Star Wars", which can be said to have triggered a wave of science fiction worldwide. For Americans, it is an indelible mark of the times.

The author Mr. Ye Yonglie is also one of the editors of "100,000 Whys".

Many years later, a cheap mobile phone for medium and short distance communications was named "Xiaolingtong".

Although the purpose was to borrow the book, Milan still read it. She was also fascinated by the scenes described in the book.

Of course, it was more for the purpose of discussing with Xia Tian.

What does it mean to take one step at a time?

Now when Milan entered Xia’s living room, it was like returning to his own home, except that he could not yet enter the bedroom.

Milan covered her slightly red face: Milan, Milan, what are you thinking about? He is only 14 years old!

"Xia Tian, ​​do you think the future will really be like in the books?" Milan asked, sitting in a chair.

Xia Tian arranged his paintbrush and said without looking up, "This is a science fiction work, and it contains a certain degree of fantasy. As for magnetic levitation cars, artificial organs, genetically modified food... there is hope that they will appear, but we probably won't have the chance to see them."

"Oh~" Milan rolled his eyes and continued to find a topic, "So do you think science fiction will become popular? Do you want to write it?"

Xia Tian shook his head: "Let's wait and see!"

Even if others don’t know, how could Xia Tian not know?

In another two or three years, science fiction will be attacked by the literary, scientific and regulatory circles and will be called "spiritual poisonous weeds"!
The first generation of science fiction writers were either “fleeing or dying, leaving their fate to fate”, and the science fiction genre fell silent for a decade.

Why should I get involved in this mess at this time?

The mainstream thinking these days still positions science fiction novels as having a "popular science function."

“Science” is “science”, and fantasy is not allowed.

……

Xia Tian has actually already felt Milan's progress day by day.

But how can I put it? This is an open conspiracy!

Moreover, it was an open conspiracy formulated after careful observation and analysis of Xia Tian - although you saw through it, you didn't mind it, and I still made progress day by day.

This girl with a figure that looks a bit brainless and has a bright and beautiful style, does she have such emotional intelligence? !

During this month, Yu Beibei also came, but she was looking for Milan - she had been promised to go first, so she naturally had to keep her promise!
Of course, Yu Beibei is also here to inspect Milan's progress. If you can't do it, I'll have to take over.
After all, Xia Tian is not an ordinary hutong kid, he seems to be a potential stock.

Milan gritted her teeth: Little Fox, you are still putting pressure on me, right?!
Yu Beibei: Milan, you have to work harder~
Although Xia Tian felt that he was being controlled by Milan, the big monkey Ma Xiaojun was so envious that his eyes were bleeding.

For boys of this age, it is the time when love begins to blossom and hormones are secreted wildly.

Girls like Milan and Yu Beibei just have perfect aesthetic taste.

His personality, style and family background are all excellent, he is simply the object of fantasy!
As a result, even though he doesn't care about summer, girls are willing to get close to him. I jump up and down beside him but can't get a single glance. I hate it~~~
During this period, because of Ma Xiaojun, I got to know a few children from their general affairs compound.

They are all between the ages of 13 and 16. They all love to show off, love to show off, and are full of fantasies about the opposite sex.

What foreign pickaxe, big ant, Liu Sitian (male)...

The leader of these children in the general affairs compound is Liu Sitian’s brother Liu Yiku.

She was tall, had medium-length hair, and looked pretty good, a simple version of Xia Tian. Liu Yiku seemed to be a bit more knowledgeable, and had a calm attitude towards Xia Tian.

He neither had the star-chasing attitude of Ma Xiaojun and his brother, nor was he like a few of the kids from the big courtyards who looked down on, hated and were helpless towards Xia Tian.

He will be joining the army in two years. Compared to him, Ma Xiaojun and the others are just kids.

These people often smoke three or four cigarettes together in groups of five or six, taking turns to smoke, taking puffs at a time, as if they were very cool.

I don’t smoke in the summer, and seeing how they look, my god, I can’t bring myself to smoke!

Because of summer, these guys also got to know Yu Beibei and Milan.

Milan is now concentrating on thinking about Xia Tian, ​​but Yu Beibei has completely controlled these guys.

Just by puffing out a cigarette or stretching... several people would stare at her, as if her every frown and smile were captivating.

Summer reminds me of Tom and the white cat Shirley~
Be a Sigma man, comrades!

Ma Xiaojun was the same. On the one hand, he pretended to be mature and manly, and imitated Xia Tian and Liu Yiku stiffly. On the other hand, he was controlled by Yu Beibei's every word and action.

You are such a loser! (eggplant crying horse.jpg)

Liu Yiku seemed to have no interest in Bei Bei, as if he had seen through the tricks this older sister was playing on her younger brother.

He seems to be quite interested in Milan. But Milan ignores him!

These adolescent boys and girls are so conflicted!
……

October 10st, National Day.

At the National Day ceremony at Min'an Gate, a Hong Kong businessman named Li Huanggua appeared. Previously, the mainland media had criticized Li Huanggua as the patriarch of the evil Z, but unexpectedly, he has now become a guest of honor of the country.

Who would have thought that more than forty years later, his identity would change again and people would shout the slogan "Don't let Li Huanggua run away"?
Things are impermanent.

During the National Day holiday, a group of people gathered together.

I won’t talk about Xia Tian’s group, there are also Milan and Yu Beibei, two girls from the Diplomatic Academy, Fang Yan and Ye Jing, six girls from the Director’s Academy, and Ma Xiaojun and his group from the Internal Affairs Academy…

Thinking about it carefully, these people were actually gathered around Xia Tian, ​​but he had never thought about getting to know so many people, especially many of them were children from large courtyards.

So many people from different worlds, even different time and space - the time doesn't match, come together. It's inexplicably absurd and black humor.

Many times, life's circumstances do not depend on one's own will.

Now that we are all together, let’s do some exercise.

Liu Yiku's house was large and spacious, and his parents were not yet there. So they gathered at his house.

Everyone showed off their skills and got some food and drinks, and the group of people got together and had some fun.

Milan sat next to Xia Tian, ​​who was listening to Fang Yan bragging and commenting on the articles in the newspaper.

Milan was watching her best friend "tease" Ma Xiaojun.

Yu Beibei, holding a cigarette, leaned on the sofa in front of Ma Xiaojun, blowing smoke rings and bragging to Ma Xiaojun, saying things like "often staying up all night at friends' houses", "jumping over walls to skip classes", "fighting"... Ma Xiaojun was stunned.

Ma Xiaojun looked at the pure and lustful Yu Beibei, and he felt a mixture of forbidden pleasure and a shattered dream - my beloved elder sister can't be like this!
Milan couldn't help laughing - it was too mean! He fooled his little brother to the point of being lame! Oh, if only summer was so easy to fool~
When Xia Tian saw that Liu Yiku had a guitar at home, he picked it up and tuned it.

This instrument was not very popular in China at that time. It was probably not until a movie in the mid-1980s that most people got to know this instrument.

It wasn’t until the rise of pop music in the late 1980s that guitar became popular, especially after the rise of folk music…

But at this time, guitars were also made domestically.

Milan had always been paying attention to Xia Tian, ​​and asked, "Hey, can you play this?"

It’s only 78, and only a few people in China have seen a guitar, let alone learned how to play it.

People like Milan and her classmates in the Diplomatic Compound can often come into contact with foreign music and new things.

I didn’t expect that Xia Tian, ​​who didn’t come from a big family, could do this?

"How new! I could play the guitar when I was ten years old," Xia Tian said.

While Dachun was showing off wildly, he said, "Xia Tian's mother is from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. He has been in the troupe since he was a child, and he can play instruments very well!"

In fact, it will be before summer - playing a broken guitar on a deserted island for five years!

Ma Xiaojun was excited when he heard it. Art! Elegance! He immediately asked, "What can Tian'er do?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "I can play all the instruments you know."

That's quite outrageous!

Ma Xiaojun rolled his eyes: He is so pretentious!
Xia Tian was too lazy to care about them and started plucking the strings of the guitar and singing "Goodbye, Friend".

There are some rules for singing these days, you can't just sing randomly. If you sing the wrong song and someone hears you, it's a problem.

"Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye..."

Except for Dachun Glasses and a few familiar friends, everyone else was listening attentively - no one expected that Xia Tian not only could really play the guitar, but also sang so beautifully!

In the end, this National Day party turned into a music dinner.

People like Fangyan Ma Xiaojun, who are introverted and reserved, secretly swear in their hearts that they will learn a musical instrument and pretend to be a gorgeous big shot in the future!
