When Fang Jiande got off work, his wife was cooking and his children were doing their homework.
He and his wife both work in the Yanjing Municipal Government. Not only is the job easy, the salary is quite high, and with good benefits, they can save a lot of money throughout the year.
Let’s just say that the building their family lives in now is a welfare house allocated by the work unit.
Over the years, the house has been lacking everything, including televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, and tape recorders.
For people like him, don't be too comfortable in your childhood.
His academic qualifications are actually not very high, at least not as high as his wife's. His wife was a top student at Yan University back then, and she was also pretty. The reason why he was able to catch her was because he was also considered a big brother.
Although he relied a little on his father when he was young, he has matured over the years. Now he is the section chief. This is the result of his own efforts.
After caring about his wife, he went to the study room to see how his son was studying.
"Son, how are you studying? Is the course too difficult to keep up with?"
His son is in junior high school at No. 80 Middle School and is only in his first year of junior high school this year. He is afraid that his son will not be able to keep up with the progress, so he will always pay attention to it.
Fang Jiande's son Fang Guobin said proudly: "It's not difficult. The teachers all praised me."
"That's great. He deserves to be my son." Fang Jiande happily touched his son's head.
Fang Guobin rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, I performed so well in school, should you buy me a gift?"
"Okay, what do you want?" Fang Jiande didn't care. Whatever his son wanted since he was a child, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would be satisfied.
Who makes his family rich? In addition, his son is also sensible and obedient, and his family loves him and is willing to fulfill his little wishes.
Fang Guobin's eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, I want the tape of the radio drama "The Conspiracy"."
"The radio drama "The Conspiracy"? Don't you have a book at home? What kind of radio drama tape do you want?" Fang Jiande frowned.
"It's different, the radio drama is more exciting!" Then Fang Guobin explained what a radio drama is, "Everyone in our class listens to this radio drama, and many students even bought the tape."
Fang Jiande promised: "Yeah, okay, I'll have a rest tomorrow and dad will take you to Xinhua Bookstore to buy it."
"Thank you, dad!" After his wish was fulfilled, Fang Guobin jumped up happily, hugging Fang Jiande and yelled.
The wife asked in confusion: "What kind of scandal are you and your son doing?"
"Haha, give your son a gift, see how excited he is." Fang Jiande scratched his head and said happily.
"Virtue."
Soon the wife had the meal ready, and the family happily ate and watched TV.
After the meal, Fang Jiande turned on the radio while helping his wife wash the dishes.
He listened to the local radio station in Yanjing. After all, he worked for the government.
However, today he heard a different program.
[Please listen to the radio drama "The Conspiracy" below, hosted by Li Yemo and Wang Gang...]
Hey, the radio drama of "The Conspiracy"?
Fang Jiande stopped what he was doing. Unexpectedly, as soon as his son finished speaking, he heard the radio drama on Yanjing's radio station.
One episode of the radio drama lasted just over twenty minutes, and it ended quickly. He also finished washing the dishes, but he was not satisfied with it at all.
He now understood why his son was obsessed with radio dramas even though there were books at home. It was so different!
Whether it's music, dubbing, or atmosphere, reading by yourself or traditional lectures can't match it.
Just when he wanted to continue listening, the program ended.
This also strengthened his determination to take his son to buy the radio drama "The Conspiracy" tomorrow. It was so worth it.
Early in the morning, Fang Jiande took his son downstairs. The weather was just right, neither hot nor cold, and very comfortable.
There are all acquaintances in the community yard, either from the same work unit, or their parents are from the same work unit.
"Uncle Li, where are you taking a walk?"
"Aunt Qin, have you just come back from shopping for groceries?"
Fang Jiande pushed the cart and greeted the neighbors with his son, chatting casually. Neighborhood relations in this era were still very harmonious.
After chatting for a while, he got on the car and took his son to Xinhua Bookstore.
Logically speaking, there should not be many people in Xinhua Bookstore this early in the morning. However, the bicycle parking area in front of the store is almost full of bicycles, indicating that there are many people inside.
After Fang Jiande parked the car, he complained: "Hey, today is really weird."
After entering with their son, the father and son found that it was very lively inside. Although it was not full, the density of the crowd still made the temperature in the store rise a few degrees.
Fang Jiande walked to the counter and asked: "Comrade, do you have the tape of the radio drama "The Conspiracy"?"
"Yes, I have."
"How much does a set cost?"
"Ninety dollars a set."
Fang Jiande said in surprise: "How much? Ninety? This is too expensive!"
"Gay is really not expensive." The clerk explained: "A set of "The Conspiracy" album has a total of fifteen tapes, each tape contains four episodes. Fifteen tapes are sixty episodes, and the price is six yuan per box, one set The album is only 90 yuan."
After listening to the introduction, Fang Jiande looked at the tape and felt that it was really not expensive. It should be said that it was very cheap.
Nowadays, you can easily buy a music tape for only ten yuan, and it doesn’t contain as much content as a radio drama.
However, it is still a bit expensive for a set of albums. It would be great if I could buy them individually, but unfortunately the store clerk refused.
"Okay, where's the tape?"
After the clerk pointed in a direction, Fang Jian pulled his son and walked in that direction.
Along the way, he saw people in twos and threes walking towards the counter from there, all holding tapes in their hands. When he looked carefully, he saw the words "The Conspiracy" radio drama written on it.
Is it so popular?
Fang Jiande couldn't help but stop a young customer and asked: "Brothers, are you all fans of "The Conspiracy"?"
"I'm not a book fan. I became obsessed with it after listening to the radio drama "The Conspiracy" on CCTV. However, the radio drama was not enough. CCTV happened to have another cassette tape. I bought it thinking that I could listen to it all at once and enjoy it." Young said the customer.
Fang Jiande sighed: "Brother can buy a set of tapes at such a young age. The salary is not low."
The young customer smiled and said: "How can I have so much money? I bought it with others."
"Is this okay?" Fang Jiande asked in surprise.
The young customer said: "If there's anything wrong, we can just listen separately."
Fang Jiande nodded thoughtfully.
After bidding farewell to the young customer, he walked inside again and soon came to the shelf with tapes.
"Damn, they sold out so quickly."
"Are you kidding me?"
“It’s too bad not to stock up in advance when there is no stock.”
Fang Jiande felt bad and quickly asked: "Brother, what tape is missing?"
"The tape of the radio drama "The Conspiracy" is out of stock."
