Xiaoman agreed, and grandma also agreed with a smile, she originally planned to guard the house at home, since the old and the young wanted her to go, then go.
still packed a bamboo tube of spiritual spring water, plus two simmered sweet potatoes and a fruit candy for Ah Gong for supper, and sent Ah Gong out, Grandma urged Xiao Man and Xiao Ju to wash their hair, take a bath, wash their clothes, finish everything they should do, and go to the movies at night.
In the afternoon, the children of the two families came to the yard to play for a while, and Liang Xiaoju inquired clearly: the movie time was half past seven in the evening.
At half past six, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and it was the people of the two families who came out and invited each other into the village to watch a movie.
Xiao Ju immediately got busy, according to what she said earlier, she carried a stool for two people to sit on, and then took a small low stool, leading the way in front, Xiao Man helped Grandma to follow her, out of the courtyard gate, only to see seven or eight adults and children waiting outside, all women and children, men usually do not walk with women and children, these children are also shoulder-carrying hand-copied and holding the bench, their grandma or grandma is carrying the baby who can't walk on their backs, seeing Xiao Man come out, lock the courtyard door, a group of people talking and laughing and noisy along the road to the primary school in the middle of the village。
When I walked to the place, I saw that the elementary school campus was still the same as I remembered, and it felt quite kind. In her previous life, Xiao Man couldn't go to school after finishing the second grade, but she often passed by the campus and went to her own vegetable garden from the back door, which was right behind the classroom, every time she went to work in the vegetable garden, Xiao Man could see the students reading and writing through the classroom window, and the sound of several teachers lecturing was clear to the ear, think about it, that row of classrooms were the third grade, the fourth grade and the fifth grade......
Xiao Man's heart moved, and his eyes swept to the house in the west, behind the classrooms, there was the vegetable garden of Mo Guoqiang and Liu Fengying's family, the vegetable garden in the previous life was basically taken care of by Xiao Man, and Xiao Man would go into the vegetable garden almost every day!
Ah Gong wants to send her to school, and she has to start from the first grade, if you want to make a change, you can use this to make a fuss!
The more Xiao Man thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and a smile appeared on his face.
There were a lot of people sitting in the black pressure on the venue, but it was still early, and the people of the projection team had not yet seen their shadows, but the white curtain of the projection had been hung up, the two big speakers were placed, and the noisy songs resounded throughout the campus, and the majestic tenor sang "The small bamboo row in the middle reaches of the river, the surging river flows eastward", covering the children's laughter and the adults' speeches.
Liang Xiaoju followed the neighbor children to set up the stool in a small open space on the left, Xiaoman helped Grandma sit down, and Liang Xiaoju pulled Xiaoman out.
Xiao Man didn't know why, and said, "Where are you going?
Liang Xiaoju said: "Oh, it's not time yet, I asked them: Before the feature film, there was a screening, and the members were taught to use a new rice transplanter, what is so good about this? They all went to play elsewhere! Let's go to the consignment store, go buy sunflower seeds, and rhubarb cakes, don't you want to eat that?"
Tonight's feature film is called "Southern Expedition and Northern War", a combat feature film, Xiao Man smiled bitterly when he heard the name of this film, it's not that Xiao Man is not patriotic, she just doesn't like to watch combat films, she is not interested in the feature film, and there will be a screening, and she can't help but get tired of it, Xiao Man went to ask Grandma, Grandma was chatting with Qiu Erma, and heard Xiao Man say that she was going to the consignment store, and told her to be careful, so she let them go.
Liang Xiaoju estimated that there were often movies in her village, and she was not afraid of the crowded and chaotic scenes, so she pulled Xiaoman around in the crowd, and quickly ran out of the school gate and went to the team headquarters.
Normally, the consignment store is not open at night, but it is always open when the movie is shown, so that the masses can buy things, and they will not close until the movie is released -- the consignment also wants to watch the movie.
The electric lights in the consignment store are bright, and there are really a lot of people who buy things, but most of them are women and children, buying some melon seeds and candies, etc., and occasionally some young men come in and take a turn, look at Liu Ping, who is busy, and soon go out.
Xiao Man stood at the door and glanced inside first to see if there was Liu Fengying, and then followed Liang Xiaoju into the house.
Unexpectedly, in a group of teenage girls at the counter, Mo Xiaosu was pursing her lips and squinting at her.
The rural consignment store is not as good as in the city, people don't pay attention to queuing, just crowding people, holding money to buy things, Liang Xiaoju saw that there were too many people, and also took out his five cents and stretched out his arm on tiptoe to hand it to the counter, learning Xiaoman's voice during the day, and shouted sweetly to Lin Liuping: "Sister Liu Ping! Sister Liu Ping! I weigh a dime of sunflower seeds and two pieces of rhubarb cake!"
The women and children all looked at Liang Xiaoju together, and someone asked directly, "Who are you?"
Liang Xiaoju turned her head to look at Xiao Man and said, "Xiao Man is coming! Grandpa also gave you money, don't you want to buy it?"
Xiao Man smiled at everyone and said, "Her name is Liang Xiaoju, the granddaughter of the eldest aunt of Shangling Village, and she has been coming to my house for a few days!"
"Oh, it's a relative of the Xiao Man family!"
"It turned out to be a child from another village, no wonder I looked at it. ”
"Alas, the eldest aunt of Shangling Village, I heard that she is very fierce, and she has never been waiting to see Xiao Man's blind grandmother, but this time she is willing to send a granddaughter to live here. ”
Several women muttered.
This kind of gossip is only interested in adults, little girls don't like to hear it, there are three or four girls squeezed to Xiao Man's side to talk to her, they went to Xiao Man's house to eat when they lived in the educated youth house that day, one is called Mo Linghui, the youngest daughter of Mo Zhishu's cousin, one is called Mo Shuixia, Xiao Man remembers that it is the girl of Aunt Han's family in the past, and she is also a neighbor, and there is also a girl named Ai Lan, the second daughter of the captain of the production team, holding her sister, that sister Xiao Man doesn't remember what her name is, since she is ranked third, she is called the third sister.
Xiaoman and the girls have questions and answers, talk and laugh, but they also get along well.
In her previous life, no one was willing to deal with Xiao Man, it was her own personality reasons, and it was also deliberately done by Liu Fengying, in this life, of course, she has to change.
Liang Xiaoju was urging Xiao Man to go shopping quickly, and several girls hugged Xiao Man to the counter, Xiao Man took out her five cents and handed it to the counter, and said to Liu Ping:
"Sister Liu Ping, I call it three cents sunflower seeds, and I want four rhubarb cakes!"
Liang Xiaoju stared at the side: "Are you crazy? Grandpa gave us five cents each, and you spent it all at once!"
Xiao Man said: "I haven't eaten rhubarb cake for a long time, I want to try one, and I want to invite my friends to eat melon seeds!"
Liu Ping at the counter chuckled: "Little gluttonous cat, when I came home from here during the day, I kept thinking about the big yellow cake, right?"
Xiao Man smiled and nodded: "Sister Liu Ping, you can eat together!"
"I don't want it, it's just four pieces of bread, and the five of you are not enough for one person!" Liu Ping said as she collected the money, and first weighed the sunflower seeds for Xiao Man.
Mo Linghui tugged at Xiao Man's sleeve: "If you don't buy cakes, just melon seeds, grab a handful of them for one person, it's enough!"
Xiao Man said, "But I really want to try that cake!"
Ai Lan pointed to the paper bag in Liang Xiaoju's arms: "Your cousin bought two pieces, let her share one of them, we only eat melon seeds!"
Mo Shuixia also said: "Yes, this will save two cents, enough to catch a rally!"
Xiaoman: "......"
It's really enough, a dime for a bowl of rice noodles, two cents for two bowls of food, a full lunch, rural children go to the market in addition to watching the lively pictures fresh and fun, and don't have to do anything else!
The friends insisted, and Xiao Man had to cancel the plan to buy rhubarb cakes.
Liu Ping used cut kraft paper to subpack the three cents sunflower seeds into five small packets, and Xiao Man and several girls were very happy.
When Liu Ping handed out the two cents to Xiao Man, a person ran over from the side and reached out and grabbed the two cents!
