Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 203 Playing a Movie

Looking at the commotion around him, Ye Yaodong felt that this was how he lived his life.

After spanking the child, under the helpless eyes of the two children, Lin Xiuqing put away all the canned fruits, cakes, tobacco, alcohol and dry goods that were sent to her. She looked at them all helplessly and stopped eating.

Ye Chenghu was beaten up and felt angry while eating, glaring at his father from time to time. Ye Yaodong found it funny, this kid has quite a temper.

"Keep staring at me. I'll give the canned food to your brother after dinner, but not to you."

"Hmph...Mom will definitely distribute it evenly."

Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "Hurry up and eat obediently. No one can eat canned food until you finish eating."

She was cured of buying fabrics, cotton, and sewing machines, and she no longer searched for anything. She had actually thought about saving up just now, so that if anything happened at home, she would have something to hand.

But seeing that the two children are very greedy, there is no need to think about it. Now the family is really not in trouble, and they have just earned a lot of money, so if anything happens, they can just buy it.

"Then give us canned food after we finish our meal." This was the tone of statement.

The couple ignored their eldest son, and Ye Chenghu just took it as their acquiescence and started eating happily.

After finishing their meal, the two of them sat there, looking at Lin Xiuqing eagerly.

"Get it for them. Take one first and give it to them. It's not a rare thing. Just eat it."

The two brothers nodded happily in agreement with their father's words, and then continued to look at their mother.

Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to bring them a can and two small bowls for them to share.

Ye Chenghu immediately walked to the door holding the bowl.

Of course he had to eat at the door. If others didn't see it, how would they know he had eaten canned food?

By the way, I went to my eldest aunt and my second aunt’s house for a walk...

Ye Chengyang also wanted to imitate him, but the juice from the bowl spilled all over the table. He was scolded and did not dare to move.

Only then did Lin Xiuqing have time to ask him, "How did you save people at sea?"

Ye Yaodong wrote lightly in a few sentences, but Lin Xiuqing was not easy to deal with. "You don't have much strength in your hands at that time, right? How dangerous is it? What if that woman drags you?" How about dragging it into the sea?"

"Don't be afraid. I also heard two other young people saying that they were going down, so they also took off their clothes. How can three people rescue one person?"

"Be careful next time. It's okay to save people, but don't be brave. Think about your wife and children at home."

"Well, you eat more. The smart ones eat sardines. This is probably what our two sons look like. Try to be smart again."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily, "I am uneducated, so I can't blame the child."

"In a few days, I will take advantage of my free time to sign up for a literacy class and set a good example."

"Ah?" Lin Xiuqing was suddenly surprised, "Why do you think it's the same thing?"

"It's very inconvenient if you're illiterate. If you want to read a newspaper, you can only recognize one, two, three, four, five."

If something happens in the future, it will be troublesome if you don't know how to read and you will be easily deceived.

Lin Xiuqing felt that it would not be a bad thing to go to a literacy class and learn some commonly used words. She happened to be free recently. If she went to sea then, she could go there for an hour or two in the evening without delay.

"There used to be a literacy class in our village. In the past two years, every villager has stopped attending it after a few days. The number of people is getting smaller and smaller, and the teachers can't help but run away. Now the literacy class seems to be going to Dongqiao Village next door. The population of Dongqiao Village is twice that of our village, so now everyone has to go there."

"Well, I'll go over there tomorrow and ask."

After Lin Xiuqing had almost put away the bowls, she took her eldest son, who was still showing off outside and hadn't finished eating for a long time, back to take a bath.

The next day, the sky that had been gloomy for several days suddenly cleared up. Ye Yaodong was rarely leisurely. After dinner, he wandered around the village and listened to the gossip in the village.

As a result, the villagers were still talking about the sardine storm two days ago, saying that someone in the village got lucky and got rich...

He figured that if nothing new came out, they could keep talking about it for a few more days.

At this time, someone came back from the pier and ran directly shouting: "It's a movie, it's a movie, it's a movie at Shaiguchang at 7pm."

The villagers on the road suddenly stopped him with shining eyes, "Is there a movie going to be shown in the village?"

"Yes, the loudspeakers outside the pier are playing there. It is said that a mobile projection team will go to Shaiguchang to show movies at 6:30 pm."

At this moment, the village exploded. Movies were the most anticipated form of cultural entertainment and the spiritual food for everyone. Everyone rushed to leave excitedly.

Not long after, the commune arranged for another person to ride a bicycle. While riding, he shouted that a movie was going to be shown in the evening.

There were few entertainment activities at this time, so the mobile screening team was very popular, and the commune also took it seriously.

Ye Yaodong was not impressed, but he hurried back to tell his wife the good news. This was indeed good news for the villagers at this time.

The eldest son also jumped up excitedly at this time, "Ah, it's a movie, it's a movie."

The younger son doesn’t understand, but he is even more silly and happy...

In the afternoon, every household finished their meal early, carried stools to the grain drying field, and occupied the space early. They were afraid that if they arrived late and occupied a seat at the back, their view would be blocked by the people sitting in front. to movies.

Ye Yaodong and his wife were urged by their children, so they arranged to have dinner early, and then walked to the grain drying field with a wooden square stool.

The children of Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye's family had not finished eating yet. When they saw them leaving, they did not eat. They immediately ran after them and couldn't stop shouting.

The grain drying field was full of children running around and jumping around. They came earlier than the adults, and they looked even happier than the Chinese New Year.

The couple arrived quite early. Ye Yaodong saw that Xiaoxiao, Fatty Azheng, and their wives and children had also arrived early, so he took a seat next to them and chatted while waiting.

"Dongzi, I heard that you and Aguang got rich again two days ago?"

“I haven’t received the money yet, and I don’t know how much I can earn.”

"I really envy you. You just changed your ship to a bigger ship and you have bad luck again."

"Good luck comes at a price. My arm will be disabled for a few days. When I get the money in two days, I can lift my hand. Can I make some dishes for everyone to gather together? I see that you have been very busy recently."

"Okay……"

"I can't go out to sea to collect the nets recently. I leave the cages there. If you have time, go and collect some to eat."

"This can have..."

After a while, the grain drying field was crowded with people, and there was noise everywhere.

After hearing about it, the villagers from the surrounding villages rushed over in the evening. It was still dark and the projectionist had not yet arrived, but this did not affect the villagers' enthusiasm at all.

The long-awaited projectionist finally arrived!

A ground truck pulled a projector, generator and other equipment. As soon as we arrived at the grain drying field, many children came to greet us. The happy children ran and shouted: "The movie theater is here!"

The village cadres had already been waiting to greet them, and they quickly took over the queue of cars, saying thank you and being polite as they walked. The formation was no less than when welcoming superior leaders to inspect their work.

At this time, projectionist was a high-level profession.

The children walked around excitedly, but the village cadres laughed and scolded them and drove them away. Then they asked someone to help load and unload the equipment, without the projectionist having to move it himself.

Ah Zheng said with an envious look on his face: "This projectionist is really popular. He is welcomed in every village wherever he goes."

"Isn't that right? There aren't even two theater theaters in the whole village. This projectionist is just like Xiangmomo. Look at those big girls and young wives, who doesn't love to get close to him and talk to him?" The fat man was filled with envy after seeing this.

"Look, look, tsk tsk tsk... I actually gave him food and drinks, and he was worried that he would be cold, so he gave him clothes to wear..."

"Don't be jealous. There's no point in being envious. I already have a wife at home. Just be content..."

Ye Yaodong looked around while listening to the chatter of his friends. It felt quite fresh.

After the screen was pulled up, the generator started, and the projector was played, the crowd gradually became quiet.

The movie was a very old movie called "Tunnel Warfare". Ye Yaodong had watched it many times, but he still watched it with gusto. He originally liked watching war movies and martial arts movies, and today's scene was particularly nostalgic.

The scene was dark and there was a large crowd of people, everyone was concentrating on watching the movie. Fortunately, they came early and sat closer to the front, so they couldn’t see the people behind very clearly. The children were sitting on the necks of adults one by one, and some were He also climbed a tree, which was really exciting.

After one movie was shown, everyone was still interested and clamored to show another one. Unexpectedly, the projectionist was also very talkative and actually showed another "White-Haired Girl".

Perhaps it could be the credit of the older girls and younger wives around.

The villagers watched one part and then the second. Some even went to sea at night, but they were all still watching with gusto without moving.

It’s rare to see a movie, who would be willing to leave?

Until the movie ended at 10 o'clock, the children in the village were still asking the projectionist where he would show it tomorrow?

After hearing that it was Dongqiao Village next door, they all cheered excitedly and shouted that they would continue to see it tomorrow...

The villagers were also a little unfinished, excitedly discussing the content of the movie as they walked, and happily thinking that they could watch it again tomorrow night.

Ye Yaodong held his wife and children, not in a hurry to squeeze in with others, and planned to wait until everyone was gone before leaving.

After there were far fewer people, he saw that his father, mother, old lady and little sister were still there, and A Guang was also there!

Damn it, no wonder I just looked around and didn't see him.

Isn't this too shameless?

Those who didn’t know better thought he was a visiting son-in-law!

Ye Yaodong walked over and gave him a hard look several times, "You don't want to watch with your father and your sisters? Why are you here?"

Aguang sneered, "Isn't this just a coincidence? I thought I would send the old lady home and I would go back."

"old lady?"

Ye Huimei's face turned red.

"A person who can't even lift his hand can be knocked down with just one punch. How dare he send someone home?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Why are you being so serious? I told you, we met by chance."

Father Ye smiled and said, "Everyone's hands hurt these days, otherwise your Uncle Pei would have said that he would come to visit us in the next two days."

"What's the rush?" Ye Yaodong said angrily.

"There's no one around anymore. Let's go back first. I'll let Aguang see my parents and the old lady here."

"You guys go back, we are going back."

Ye Yaodong glanced at A Guang warningly and said to him: "It's very late, you should go home early."

"I know, I know..." A Guang said cheerfully.

Only then did he get dragged away by Lin Xiuqing unhappily.
