Chapter 10, the ticket is fake and true
After stuffing the note nine times, I decided to draw two fake tickets to ask Cher to go to the movies.
At that time, Sanjiang Commune had just built a theater, and the big characters of "Sanjiang People's Theater" were written by Mr. Bai Hua, a famous artist in Haiyang, which was thick and powerful, with flesh and bones, and white three-dimensional gypsum characters, which were inlaid on the dark gray wall of washed out of stone rice, which was very magnificent and weighty. This theater is also a place for theater and movie screenings, and you need to buy a ticket to enter.
When the theater was just completed, the first play was made by a group of Chaozhou opera from Cantonese Province, and the name of the Chaozhou opera was "The Legend of Lijing", and Wu Niang starring Yao Xuanqiu and Chen San played by the Great Wall teacher were all top masters! For a while, Sanjiang Theater added a lot of fame. At that time, it was very difficult to find a movie ticket, almost like Luoyang paper was expensive, and you had to go through the back door to buy a movie ticket by relying on your relationship.
Because it was the first time that a powerful troupe came to Sanjiang Commune to do a play, and the people of Sanjiang had a decent stage for the first time, the old people were very old, and everyone hoped to be able to watch a human play in their lifetime, which was something that could only be enjoyed by the families of rich families in the old days.
I remember that the nine aunts next door were more than 70 years old, although they were illiterate, and they were so deaf that they were so deaf that they could hear it when they lit firecrackers to line their feet during the first day of the New Year. also pestered her son Lao Xian, tightened her belt, and helped her get a ticket to watch a show. The next day, Aunt Eminem, the head and tail of the house, the stars held the moon like a posture, surrounded the nine aunts and peaches, and asked her how she felt? Because Aunt Jiu is deaf, she can't hear the big gongs and drums at the opening, and she doesn't know what she looks like?
In addition to making plays, the theater also screens movies, movie tickets are generally a few cents, my family is poor and famous in the village, my parents don't have spare money to buy me movie tickets, so I want to go into the theater to watch movies, sometimes a few classmates climb the fence to enter. Later, I came up with a better way to do it – draw tickets.
The slaves of poor families can only watch movies arranged by their superiors for each township on special festivals every year, and several times a year, they are all free movies that are screened in front of the big words in the village. That's the happiest time for the children, almost as happy as the New Year.
Every movie day, before the evening, I am anxious to let my parents cook dried radish rice or pickle rice early, eat it at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and then carry a stool or straw mat and go to the movie studio early to occupy a place. In those days, you couldn't eat dry rice a few times a year, let alone vegetable rice! It was only when there was a movie in the village that parents would risk their lives to cook food for their children, and they would also give you a penny or two to buy snacks and sweets to pick an olive bird (a kind of fruit like a hawthorn) or something, and it was really as happy as the New Year! It was only a turn every few months, and every time it was almost a model show. But if it is a screening of "Tunnel Warfare", or "Mine Warfare", "Scout", "Surprise Attack", it really makes children happy to death, my favorite ones to watch are "Surprise Attack" and "Scout", Wang Xingang played Guo Rui too well! A very famous actor at that time.
Before the feature film is screened, there is usually a documentary news or the like, and halfway through the film, it stops. Lao Jin, who is short and thin, with a pockmarked face, and is the chief of security in the village, is going to speak for half an hour, which is the most annoying thing.
This old gold nickname is a big horn, and he will always talk nonsense without anything to say, which is nothing more than catching bad guys and rectifying public order. Of course, Lao Jin's way of speaking and speech are already accustomed to being heard by the people in our village, and even when Lao Jin opens his mouth to say a word, he knows what he is going to say next, and Lao Jin keeps repeating it like a film. What "morning glory eats morning glory households", what "children fish, are found by fish" and so on. Lao Jin didn't study, he was born as a farmer, and he was the most active when he was fighting the land and fighting against the bad right, so he also joined the party and became the director of public security in Sanyuan Village. After he explained the facts clearly, this is not wrong: It means that the current public security situation in our village is rather chaotic, and we are investigating the class enemy, and the cost of the movie shown tonight and night is the income from the public security handling of the fines imposed on bad people! For example, the morning glory eats the morning glory household, which means that the head of the household with cattle steals the cattle food of other family's morning glory households to give his own cattle food. Another example is "a child is caught fishing by a fish", that is
There are children in the township who go to the brigade's fishing pond to steal fishing, and the personnel in charge of the fishing pond find out the meaning of catching.
Of course, Lao Jin's revolutionary language always attracted bursts of laughter in front of the ancestral hall, which resounded in the sky over the entire Sanyuan Village at night! This also had a special joyful atmosphere! The people in the village basically understood what he meant, and they were all accustomed to it. Lao Jin is also at ease, cadres, I have to say a few words about cadres with political level!
I didn't have the money to buy movie tickets, so I used the movie ticket samples in the theater to draw two movie tickets. At that time, there was just a theater, and the movie ticket was very simple, one square was printed with the Sanjiang People's Theater, a few lines and numbers, the date and date, and the other square was printed with a stub, Song style, so simple that people with a foundation in art could draw it by hand. There are two kinds of paper, one with a yellow background and one with a white background, and I chose paper with a white background and drew two of them. At that time, a few classmates in the class knew that I often drew movie tickets and went to the theater to watch movies. Because I have a talent for painting since I was a child, I have a good foundation, and when the art teacher has something, he also asked me to give art classes to the class generation in the primary grade, so painting movie tickets is pediatrics, and it can be almost chaotic, and I can generally pass the test in confusion.
I decided to make an appointment with Xue'er directly with the movie ticket, so I waited for her on the way to school, behind the big banyan tree by the half-moon pond in front of the ancestral hall.
It was a clear morning and the air was exceptionally fresh.
Sanjiang Commune is surrounded by water on all sides, and is an alluvial island in the lower reaches of the Hanjiang River, where the people retain the simple rural customs and are honest farmers. Whenever the morning breeze blows, a faint pastoral aroma, refreshing people's hearts, there is a refreshing and pleasant sense of freshness, this wind seems to be wild! Here are patches of pastoral green, all kinds of vegetables in the farmer's own land, exuding a pleasant fragrance, earthy smell mixed with the unique green oxygen of crops, is a natural oxygen bar.
In the morning in the countryside, a few wisps of rising smoke in the morning mist, the dark green of green crops when the sun has not climbed, stained with crystal dewdrops, and the grass on both sides of the wet mud road. The rooster dutifully woke up his master, the old ox hummed unpleasantly, the dog came out happily to feed, and the farmer, who got up early, began to walk down the country road and went to work in the fields. However, the stench emitted by the open-air manure tanks of the various production teams is quite uncomfortable! When the peasants dig up the manure and roll it, the pungent stench makes the wind blow and people will feel sick and vomit when they smell it! Fortunately, in addition to this, the large area of the countryside is really full of frogs in the grass ponds, and the sound of birds can be heard in front of and behind the houses in the village. The aunt and uncle under the morning fog got up early at four or five o'clock to carry dung and water, carry farm tools and lead livestock, and went to the vegetable garden of their own land to cultivate, and took the seeds to the town to sell.
After a while, Xue'er, wearing a blue-patterned white cloth underground, blue and white wax-dyed blouse sent by overseas Chinese, finally appeared in my sight.
"Cher, let's watch a movie together tonight. ”
I suddenly burst out from behind the big banyan tree, stood in front of Cher's eyes, and handed her a movie ticket in my hand, I peeked down at her, but didn't dare to look at her.
This sudden, halfway way of sudden, biting gold was obviously caught off guard by Cher'er, who was startled by the way I rushed out from behind the big banyan tree. Although she usually knew that I would always be behind her and secretly follow her into school, my actions today were indeed too much for her to imagine. She was not prepared at all, her body trembled, and her reaction was very stunned, almost stunned, even a little panicked. But she quickly stood still, then looked at me timidly, carefully but casually observed her surroundings, and after making sure that no other male classmates were with me, Cher's expression quickly returned to normal. She didn't panic, and I was overwhelmed. My face was hot and red, as red as the color of the national flag painted on the school wall. It was as if the sun had just risen in the morning was laughing at me, and a few chicks who were still looking for food under the big banyan tree just now also scattered and ran away in all directions.
My heart was beating suddenly, and I was about to fall out, so I shoved the ticket into Xue'er's hand, and then turned around and ran back to school, not daring to turn my head back. In a hurry, the two dogs who were about to mate and were making love were scurrying in shock, and the dog barking sounded in my ears, as if they were cute puppies, scolding me for ruining their good deeds.
I don't know how Cher reacted, it seemed that after she took the ticket I stuffed her, her face was surprised and her face was red, and her body was trembling all the time. She glanced at me, quickly calmed down, did not speak, calmly put the ticket into the schoolbag embroidered with red stars, and walked to the school as usual.
At that time, there were very few boys and girls in rural schools who were so bold and direct! I don't know where I got the courage to make such a bold move. At that time, male and female students rarely spoke openly in public, especially among classmates and in front of the public.
When I returned to the classroom, my face was still hot! After sitting on the desk and chair, I was still in shock, as if I had done something bad and was afraid that the teacher would find out, I pretended to read the book seriously, and I didn't seem to have anything to do. But I always think of the scene just now, and I am a little ashamed to think of the good thing that broke the two innocent dogs!
Teacher Yufang is lecturing, and this is my favorite story: she tells the story of Lin Weiyin, Liang Sicheng and Jin Xuelin, especially when Jin Xuelin never married for Lin Wei, and Liang Sicheng and his wife moved there, so he moved there, although Jin Xuelin couldn't get Lin Weiyin, but he became Lin Weiyin's follower and patron saint. It is said that this is a supreme and holy feeling! This kind of protection is selfless dedication! Loving someone can use one's own life, one's own life. Or maybe it's just for one word - love! This kind of love can only be said to be great! This kind of love is as clean as the snow on Mount Everest...... I didn't have the heart to listen to the lecture at all, I couldn't listen to half a sentence, I didn't know what Teacher Yufang was talking about, and I didn't dare to look up at the students around me. I lowered my head, kept fiddling with the pen in my hand, and felt a little wrong in my heart, as if I was afraid of being exposed, I was nervous, and sweat beaded on my head! I even hoped that I could get out of class quickly and secretly accompany Xue'er, so that she would not tell me about my troubles.
I also sneak a glance at Cher occasionally, but I can't calm down. After a while, I gently wiped the sweat on my face with my sleeve, and plucked up the courage to look in the direction of Xue'er, but I don't know if I have a heart? Xue'er happened to look at it with the ticket, and shook her little hand, as if to say to me: You did a good thing, we happened to look at each other.
I sat and shivered as if I had been electrocuted, and immediately lowered my head, and Cher immediately turned her face to the podium. At this time, the teacher Yufang who was lecturing was looking at Xue'er, and seemed to notice our delicate moment, she looked at Xue'er with a smile, and then looked at me, and then reminded the students to listen carefully, not to be distracted, let alone distracted. I came back to my senses, my heart quietly let go, knowing that Xue'er would not expose me, I actually felt a sense of success in my heart, and the whole person relaxed a lot, as if I had peace of mind, and I secretly felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart, feeling that it was better than writing a note to Xue'er, as if I had taken another step.
I finally stayed up until the end of class, and since it was Saturday, I didn't have to go to class in the afternoon, so I deliberately didn't rush out of the classroom, and wanted to wait for Cher to leave before going home, so as to avoid embarrassment. And I hope that Xue'er can say something to me, even if it is to scold me, I want to ask her head-on but I don't dare, let alone explain to her. And Cher was also waiting for her classmates to finish, and when only Cher and I were left in the classroom, she came over generously and said to me with a smile:
"Hanzhe, bring your ticket too, Xiaoyan and I will go and see it, don't do it next time." ”
Cher's voice is just good, into the heart!
When Cher called my name, my heart jumped out!
Cher was willing to talk to me and called me by name!
Flattered, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly took out another fake ticket in my trouser pocket, and hesitated in my hand. I didn't dare to face Xue'er, I was both happy and disappointed, happy that she didn't scold me, and I didn't find out that the ticket was fake. Sadly, she didn't go to the appointment and went to the movies with me. I hesitated, but obediently gave her another ticket with a trembling hand.
I prayed in my heart: May the Queen of Heaven and Our Lady bless them and they will enter the theater tonight.
"Thanks!" Cher turned gracefully after taking the ticket, then grabbed her bag and walked out of the classroom, and when she left the classroom door, she smiled back at me and grimaced.
I jumped up on the stool with excitement when I looked back at it, and I suddenly felt that I was the happiest person in the world. I also decided to go to the theater tonight to "scout" and see if they could enter the theater smoothly with the fake tickets? My diary entry that night reads:
Terrible looking back
Stealing the whole world!
Later, I learned that Xue'er had already heard from her classmates that my movie tickets were all hand-drawn fake tickets, and she was afraid that I would find out to the ticket inspectors at the theater and cause trouble, so she asked me to go, but in fact, that night, she bought two more tickets and went in with Xiaoyan. From another point of view, I feel that Xue'er is protecting me, will Xue'er also think about me? Then, my efforts and sincerity have not been in vain! When I think of this, my heart is as sweet as drinking honey.
Unfortunately, Cher still ignored me.
