Chapter 110 Watching a Movie
The sky slowly darkened. The stall outside the brigade used to dry grain was filled with people early on.
Watching movies is one of the few entertainment activities available at this time. So not only people from this village, but also people from surrounding villages came in droves.
The children were the happiest, running around in groups.
The equipment used by Xu Damao to play movies has long been installed. Just waiting for Xu Damao to show the movie.
After eating and drinking, the village chief asked if the movie could be shown now.
"No problem, let's start showing the movie now." Xu Damao had a good meal. The key is that today the village chief gave him face and asked him to pretend to be in front of He Yuzhu. He immediately responded to the village chief's suggestion to start showing the movie now. Agree.
When I came to the drying area, I saw the dense crowd. There were even many people sitting behind the screen.
"Silly Zhu, follow me. I'll find a good place for you." Xu Damao waved his hand and said proudly.
"Come on, everyone, give way." The village chief shouted as he pushed forward.
As a result, no one paid any attention to him.
The village chief was furious: "If you don't get out of the way, how will the projectionist get in? If the projectionist can't get in, what will you watch?"
After hearing the village chief's shouting, the people in front gave way to some space.
Following the path opened by the village chief, He Yuzhu followed Xu Damao and spent a lot of effort before arriving at the projector.
The village chief also knew how valuable the machine was, so he sent people to isolate the projector with a bench early on, and sent people to guard it to prevent naughty children from damaging the machine again.
"Silly Zhu, take a look, what do you want to watch?" Xu Damao took out the movie he brought and asked He Yuzhu to choose.
"Let's watch "Five Golden Flowers". I guess you haven't missed it, right?"
"Okay, let's watch "Five Golden Flowers" first." Xu Damao picked up the film of "Five Golden Flowers", put it on the projector, and started debugging it.
After a while, it was done.
"Hey, hello." Xu Damao said twice into the microphone, and the sound was normal.
People watching the movie heard the sound and knew that the movie was about to start, so they became quiet.
For a moment everyone looked at the screen, and the movie started.
What movie goes best with it? Of course it’s popcorn. Although He Yuzhu doesn’t have popcorn, there are melon seeds in his space.
He Yuzhu took out a large handful of melon seeds from his pocket and handed them to Xu Damao and the village chief.
Xu Damao was not polite and took it and ate it.
"Where did you buy the melon seeds? They are delicious. I will buy some when I get back."
"You can't buy it, I fry it myself."
"Go back and get me some."
"OK, no problem."
After dividing the melon seeds, He Yuzhu turned his attention to the movie.
I also watched "Five Golden Flowers" in later generations, but I also watched it on TV very early, and my memory is blurred.
After watching "Five Golden Flowers", Xu Damao released another "Shangganling".
After the two movies were shown, Xu Damao stopped showing them. People started to leave together without being satisfied. As we walked, we discussed the movie we just watched.
"Do you want me to help you clean up?" He Yuzhu asked Xu Damao.
"No, this machine is expensive, I can do it myself. You can go back and rest first." Xu Damao declined He Yuzhu's offer of help.
The village chief also directed several villagers to move the tables, chairs and benches back, and He Yuzhu returned to the room arranged by the village chief alone.
The next morning, He Yuzhu got up early, and the village chief arranged stick noodle porridge. This is already a good breakfast in the countryside. After all, at this time, many people only eat thin corn noodle porridge twice a day. I don't have breakfast.
He Yuzhu: "Where is Xu Damao?"
Village chief: "Xu the projectionist hasn't gotten up yet. You eat first, I'll save it for him."
He Yuzhu was not used to the stick noodle porridge that irritated his throat. He only drank one bowl and then stopped drinking.
Village Chief: "Comrade Xiao He, I told the villagers last night that if there are eggs or something at home, I will come over this morning."
He Yuzhu: "Then I would like to thank the village chief."
After breakfast, the village chief went to work while He Yuzhu waited in the brigade yard.
One after another, some aunts came over with eggs. He Yuzhu also accepted them at a high price and asked the aunts who in the village would go hunting in the mountains.
Aunt: "When it comes to hunting, it has to be Li Dahu's family. Li Dahu is the most powerful hunter in several villages around us. He went into the mountains to hunt tigers a few years ago. He went hunting in the mountains these days. I don't know if he has come back. .”
Near noon, a middle-aged man came over with two hares. He Yuzhu guessed that he might be Li Dahu.
After He Yuzhu accepted the rabbit, he asked, "Are you Li Dahu?"
"Yes, I am Li Dahu, how did you know?" Li Dahu looked at He Yuzhu doubtfully.
"I asked the people in your village."
"Why are you asking about me?" Li Dahu looked at He Yuzhu warily.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm. I am sent by the unit to purchase supplies. At this time, only you hunters have good things in your hands." He Yuzhu explained: "Do you have any good things in your hands? Not only do I Collect game animals, furs, medicinal materials and the like. Collect them at a high price."
"Then come with me." After saying that, Li Dahu turned around and left.
He Yuzhu, who is also an expert in art, boldly followed Li Dahu to Li Dahu's house.
"You wait in the yard, I'll get you something." Li Dahu entered the house, leaving He Yuzhu alone in the yard.
Li Dahu came out after a while holding something. A tiger skin and a bear skin. He Yuzhu checked it and found that it was quite complete and the hair was smooth.
"They're all good, I've accepted them all. Do you have tiger whip, tiger bones, and bear bile?"
"No, they're all sold."
He Yuzhu didn't know whether what Li Dahu said was true or false. Even if it was false, He Yuzhu couldn't force Li Dahu to sell it. I had no choice but to pay the money for the tiger skins and bears skins to Li Dahu, then put the skins into the sacks I brought and went back.
Back at the brigade headquarters, He Yuzhu met Xu Damao: "After dinner, I will go back. Are you going back? If we go back, we will be companions."
Xu Damao: "No, I still have to travel to several villages. It will take several days."
He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll leave by myself in a while."
After Xu Damao had another sumptuous lunch, He Yuzhu packed up the things he had collected and tied them to his bicycle. This trip collected two hares and more than 30 eggs, which was enough to complete the mission. I wanted to go into the mountains for a walk, but after talking to Li Dahu, I learned that there was basically no prey in the outer areas. It would take four or five days to go deep into the mountains. Afraid that Song Jinfeng would be worried if he didn't return home on time, he gave up.
He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and walked back. When he returned to the city, it was almost time to get off work. I plan to go to the bureau tomorrow to hand in the task. Went home directly.
