South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 107 Spiritual Entertainment in the Compound

In the blink of an eye, it is already May.

The compound has been very lively recently because there is a new TV. This was a reward given to Yuan Mu by the unit before, but it had not arrived at that time. It arrived recently so Yuan Mu moved it back to the compound for the class.

Originally, Yuan Mu didn't want it. After all, he didn't like this thing very much. It didn't matter whether he had it or not. He even suggested giving it to comrades in need.

But Captain Jiang said that this TV belonged to him alone. After all, his contribution was there. If he didn't take it, then no one in the entire criminal police team would be qualified to take this TV.

The moment the television returned to the compound, the whole compound was in an uproar. In that era, people lacked spiritual entertainment, and television was a very rare thing.

So Yuan Mu put it at Lao Ma's house. After all, he was very busy every day and sometimes came home late. Putting it at Lao Ma's house would allow Ma Yan to take it out at night for everyone to watch together. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.

Moreover, Yuan Mu really couldn't stand watching this old black and white TV. The signal was very poor, the picture was not clear, and the sound was impure. How could Yuan Mu, who had experienced high-definition TV, bear it?

In the evening, the courtyard was filled with laughter and joy. Many people took small stools and chairs and sat in rows in the middle of the courtyard. In front of everyone was a small black and white TV with an antenna next to it.

Yuan Mu was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, eating a handful of melon seeds leisurely.

"Hey, Dali, have you figured out how to fix the antenna? The show will start soon!" Yuan Mu spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth and said to Niu Dali who was poking the antenna in front of him.

"Brother Yuan, it's almost there, it will be there soon." Niu Dali waved his hands, but his hands continued to move, constantly looking for the angle.

"Hey! Okay, okay!" When Old Brother Wu saw someone appear on TV, he shouted hurriedly.

"Hey! It's gone again! Hang it up for me!" At this time, Niu Dali moved, and the TV turned into snow again. Old Brother Wu yelled, which scared everyone. Niu Dali quickly grabbed the antenna pole.

"Then I'm no longer a human antenna!" Niu Dali said aggrievedly.

"Aren't you very magnetic? Don't you have a strong signal?"

"Yes, that's it." Mrs. Wu next to her echoed her husband.

Niu Dali had no choice but to hold the antenna pole with a wronged look on his face, but fortunately he had Wang Xin to accompany him, so he was not lonely. The two of them would bicker from time to time, and everyone was laughing, creating a very happy atmosphere.

Just then, two people came from not far away, a man and a woman. Everyone knew the man, Cai Xiaonian, but no one knew the woman, but she was quite pretty.

When these two people came over, everyone was stunned.

"Oh my God! Who is this? Xiaonian, why don't you introduce him to everyone?" Mrs. Wu was the first to speak in shock.

"This is my girlfriend, Yanhong." Cai Xiaonian was still a little embarrassed at this time.

Then Cai Xiaonian introduced the people in the hospital to Yanhong.

"This is Brother Wu, this is my sister-in-law, this is my master, this is my master's wife, this is Uncle Ma, this is Aunt Ma, this is Ma Yan, and this is Yao Yuling." Cai Xiaonian introduced Yanhong and then called out one by one, and everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Ahem! Xiaonian, you don't treat me as a human being!" At this time, Yuan Mu on the side coughed twice.

Yuan Mu's words immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Hurry up, you left it for your brother Yuan! Look, I'm here to pick on you!" Uncle Cai next to him laughed.

"Brother Yuan, how could I forget to tell you? You are such a big leader, so I wanted to let you be the last to appear on stage!" Cai Xiaonian said with a smile.

At this time, Wang Xin and Niu Dali also came over with a smile.

"I know who you are!" Yanhong suddenly interrupted.

"Ah?" Yuan Mu was stunned.

"You are Yuan Mu, Brother Yuan, right?"

"Oh, I'm famous!" Yuan Mu said with a smile and some surprise.

"Xiao Nian always tells me that there is a very capable person in the hospital, and it must be you, Brother Yuan." Yanhong looked at Yuan Mu and smiled.

"Okay, Xiaonian, you praise me like this!" Yuan Mu laughed.

"How can that be called praising you? That's the truth. You're the one who solved all the major cases on our railway recently. You're the deputy captain of the criminal police team, young and promising!" Cai Xiaonian said, and gave him a few more compliments.

"Okay, stop praising me. I'll get cocky!" Yuan Mu smiled and waved his hands.

Cai Xiaonian smiled and nodded, then looked at Niu Dali and Wang Xin beside him.

"Yanhong, and these two..."

"I know them too. You are Niu Dali and you are Wang Xin, right?" Yanhong said with a smile.

"Oh, Xiaonian, you've talked to Yanhong about me many times!" Niu Dali straightened his clothes at that time and felt his whole body shaking.

"This year Xiaonian has been talking to me about you guys. Now that I've seen you in person, I'm completely convinced." Yanhong said with a smile.

"That..." Niu Dali wanted to shake hands with Yanhong at that time, but at this time, Brother Wu's loud shout scared everyone again.

"Hang it up!!!"

"Oh, what are you doing? You scared me!" Mrs. Wu patted him on the shoulder.

Yanhong's arrival made the atmosphere in the compound even more lively. After all, this was a good thing, and all the topics revolved around Yanhong and Cai Xiaonian.

Soon, the TV series began, and it began with the theme song of "Huo Yuanjia", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall".

Although Yuan Mu looked down on this black and white TV, it was quite interesting to see so many people watching TV together. This might be because humans are social animals.

It may seem boring to eat alone, but it will be very interesting if you eat with a dozen or even a hundred people.

In his previous life, when he was in the military camp, everyone would rush to eat and the food tasted especially delicious. But after he was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown, he found that no matter how he ate, no matter what he ate, it no longer tasted the same as it did before.

Two episodes of the TV series were finished quickly in more than an hour. Everyone was talking and laughing, discussing what had just happened, and then took their own stools home.

"Old Yuan, look at Cai Xiaonian, she is several years younger than you and is about to get married. You should pay attention to your own affairs. How about I ask your sister-in-law to find someone for you?" Old Ma said as he walked beside Yuan Mu while carrying a stool.

"Old Ma, we have discussed this matter so many times. If I wanted to, wouldn't Aunt Wu and Aunt Cai have introduced them to me long ago?"

"I'm not in a hurry now. I'm only 26 years old, and I'm about to take the college entrance examination. I have to go to college then. I will find a job myself when I get to college. Don't worry about it." Yuan Mu said helplessly.

Lao Ma shook his head helplessly. Every time he talked about this matter, Yuan Mu said the same thing, and he was also helpless.
