Chapter 49 Let’s watch a movie! What’s the fuss about?

"Liu Weidong, I heard that you went to the grassland, did you bring us some delicious food?" Yu Haitang opened the window and waved her handkerchief at him, quite a bit like the old society's "Master is here to play!"

Liu Weidong glanced at her and drove away in his car.

Humph, you dare to ignore me!

Why don't you buy two taels of cotton and pay a visit? There are tens of thousands of workers in the entire steel rolling mill. Who dares to ignore me, Yu Haitang?

Man! You managed to get my attention!

The car was driving on a country road. The suburbs of Beijing in this era, and even until the beginning of the 20th century, the suburbs around Beijing were in a state of extreme poverty. In later generations, a proper term was coined: the poverty belt around Beijing.

Families at the foot of Yanshan Mountain don't have much land to cultivate. They rely on the mountains to feed themselves, but they can't fill their stomachs. They can only count the grains of rice in the pot. Every family lives a tight life.

There are low adobe houses on both sides of the road, and there are one or two red brick houses that belong to wealthy families. The hard-working farmers emerge from the cornfields carrying large bundles of pigweed and look at the cars speeding away with envy.

.

Whenever we can take a ride on such an iron guy, this life will be worth it!

The old farmer took off his turban to wipe his sweat and muttered to himself.

Today we are going to a small village called Longbaoshan. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, a lot of people have gathered at the entrance of the village. I heard that Longbaoshan is going to show a movie. The old and young men from ten miles and eight villages are helping the elderly and their families as if celebrating the New Year.

Young, carry the small bench and rush here.

"Stand back, can you afford to pay if the car is damaged?" Xu Damao said with a dark face as he drove away the children who were near the truck and asked Liu Weidong to lift the film box and projector down.

"Oh Comrade Xu, thank you so much for asking you to come all the way to show us a movie..." An old man ran over and held Xu Damao's hand, thanking him profusely.

This is the old man Yu Changhai, the party secretary of Longbaoshan Village.

Xu Damao obviously didn't like this old man. He pushed away the old man's hand with some disgust and pulled it down with a long face. "Have you brought anything? Bring it and put it in the car for me."

"Bring it, bring it!" Yu Changhai hurriedly called a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old behind him to come over. The young man was obviously reluctant, and the old man was anxious, "Can't you take two steps quickly?"

"Here we come!" The young man walked angrily to the Jiefang Daka, threw the chicken in his hand to the ground, and gave Xu Damao a fierce look!

Xu Damao ignored the young man's look, but squatted down, grabbed the chicken in his hand and weighed it, "Hey, good guy is heavy enough, okay, for the sake of these two chickens, I will let you have one today."

field!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Xu. You see, our neighbors from eight villages in ten miles are here. This scene seems a bit..."

"If you can get me something good, how about I give you another round?" Xu Damao patted the chicken feathers on his hands and smiled evilly.

"Okay... let's do it!" The old man Yu Changhai bit his cigarette holder, hesitated for ten seconds, and finally gritted his teeth, "Then I'll give you two more kilograms of vermicelli?"

"I asked for potato flour, but the sweet potato flour is too floury and breaks into pieces when stewed!" Xu Damao is quite good at eating it.

"Okay, two kilograms of potato vermicelli, you can add another one!"

The two agreed on the terms, and Yu Changhai called the boy again and whispered in his ear for a long time. The boy was obviously very unwilling to give away the vermicelli he had saved for the New Year to this long-faced city man, and kept squeaking.

Unwilling.

It wasn't until Yu Changhai picked up the cigarette stick and patted him twice on the back that the young man reluctantly disappeared into the crowd and came over after a while carrying two small bundles of vermicelli.

"Comrade Xu, you have worked hard!" Yu Changhai laughed along with him, took the vermicelli from his youngest son's hand, and handed it to Xu Damao respectfully.

"Put it on the car!" Xu Damao glanced at it, snorted from his nose, and ordered.

"Hey!" Yu Changhai hurriedly put the two bundles of vermicelli in the carriage respectfully. Xu Damao looked at the getting late and coughed, "Old Yu, have you pulled out the wire? I'm going to start now!"

"Everything is ready!"

"Weidong, come and do me a favor!" Xu Damao asked Liu Weidong to drive the car to the threshing floor of Longbaoshan Village, and in front of thousands of villagers at the scene, he pulled a wire from the telephone pole and connected it to the projector.

Two wooden poles had been erected twenty meters across from the threshing floor, supporting a huge fluorescent curtain. Villagers from ten miles and eight villages had been sitting under the curtain early, eating melon seeds and chatting, quietly waiting for the movie to start.

Xu Damao looked at the six boxes of film at his feet. He first picked up a box and fiddled with it. He pulled out a few meters of film and wrapped it around the machine. As the rotor slowly rotated, the film passed through the xenon lamp frame by frame and was reflected in the

On the big screen in the distance.

A circle of light appeared on the big screen, and the children suddenly became excited. They stood up one after another and twisted their little hands together to make the shape of a rabbit or a swallow, making everyone laugh.

"Everyone, sit down and watch a movie! What's the fuss about?" Yu Changhai coughed, and everyone sat down, stretching their necks one by one, waiting for the movie to start.

Liu Weidong sat next to Xu Damao and watched him operate the projector with curiosity.

It looks like...

It doesn’t seem that difficult!

"Everyone be quiet. The movie has started. No one is allowed to wander around in front of the screen, or I'll slap him!" Xu Damao patted a microphone next to the projector, and an unpleasant male duck voice sounded, making the scene even more amusing.

It was a big laugh.

"Quiet, everyone quiet!" Xu Damao patted the microphone, and the two speakers placed under the screen made a tom sound, and then the big guy shut his mouth.

The first thing played was a news briefing, which lasted for fifteen minutes, so that ordinary people could understand recent national events.

After the news briefing, it was time to watch the old movie "Li Shuangshuang" that had been shown many times.

Although everyone has watched it many times, it does not affect their interest in watching it again. Some of the smarter people have even memorized their lines. Whenever a certain plot is played, the audience starts to recite it in a low voice.

The lines caused bursts of laughter from time to time.

"The quality of these farmers is really low!" Xu Damao sat next to the projector, listening to the laughter that rang out from time to time, and cursed with a look of disgust on his face.

Liu Weidong disagreed very much, what happened to the farmers? Without farmers to cultivate the land and collect grain, you can only drink from the northwest wind!

At this time, the sky had turned dark, and stars hung in the black sky, twinkling and twinkling, just like the night sky on the grassland.

Liu Weidong looked at the bright stars, his thoughts wandered, and his heart flew back to the grassland.

On the country road in the distance, people rushing to watch the movie formed streams, and they kept rushing here.

The movie had just started for half an hour, and the venue was already full of people. Many people had no place to sit, so they simply climbed up on the firewood and haystacks, which was quite comfortable from a high place.

Some naughty wild children climbed up the tree and rode on the branches, enjoying the rare entertainment leisurely.

Others climbed to the roofs of villagers' houses in the distance, crossed their legs, and looked at the figures on the big screen with their eyesight that was beyond ordinary people's.

What's more, you can just play reverse thinking and sit on the back of the curtain. Although you can watch it, it's a pity that the subtitles are reversed!

Everyone was immersed in the happiness brought by the movie, forgetting the troubles of life, the feeling of hunger, and the passage of time.

A burly middle-aged man came over, quietly tugged on Xu Damao's sleeves, and lowered his voice, "Comrade Xu, comrade, can I discuss something with you?"

Xu Damao pulled the donkey's face, "What are you talking about? Don't talk about it!"

Gay buddies, let’s discuss something, give me some monthly votes and recommendation votes.
