Chapter 431: "Doing Things"
Li Zhongxin originally planned to let Wang Bo find a way, copy some movies from the province out of his own pocket, and take them to Fuxian or the counties and townships around Jiangcheng to screen some.
He felt that it was necessary to let more farmers see the movie and see the development of the new era at this time, just like the movie "Lushan Love" that was screened in 82 years, how many people started to fall in love freely, Li Zhongxin vaguely remembered that Qin Baoguo of Zhongxin Company was the cause of his achievements after watching that movie.
However, after listening to Wang Xiaoshun's later words, he immediately knew that it was difficult to do what he wanted to do.
After all, at this time, the transportation was not developed, and it took a long time to get rid of the rainy, snowy, and windy weather.
Lying on the hard kang of the second aunt Wang Yaqin's house, Li Zhongxin looked at the stars that seemed to be overhead, and felt a little insomnia.
Li Zhongxin didn't expect that the current countryside is much poorer than he imagined.
In a trance, Li Zhongxin remembered one thing, that is, so many surplus publications that have been printed by Zhongxin Publishing House now, he should take them out and let people distribute them to these children in the countryside who have no entertainment, which can be regarded as worthwhile.
Not only these books and periodicals, but also books account for a considerable part of the recycled items transported back from the capital, so find a few people to pick these books, buy some books and periodicals, and take them to the countryside to set up a free reading place for rural children.
For rural children, it is not only an additional way to learn some knowledge, but also a broader horizon.
In Jiangcheng City, in the future, Zhongxin Company will build a public library belonging to Zhongxin Company, and he should also pay attention to the children in the rural areas below, so that these children can increase their knowledge as soon as possible.
Reading points are set up in primary schools in various villages, so that students can go to the reading points to read and borrow books after school.
Thinking that the students in the countryside here will have some books to read and will gain more knowledge, the corners of Li Zhongxin's mouth are like crescent moons, and he slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo had breakfast at Wang Yaqin's house, they took the car driven by Feng Banshan and went straight to Fu County, and the task of the two of them in the morning was to buy some vegetables.
Li Zhongxin's grandmother's birthday is the eighth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar (the birthday of people in the Northeast is not the birthday of the ID card, and the birthday of the lunar calendar is generally celebrated), on the seventh day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the whole family began to prepare things for the birthday, and on the morning of the eighth day of the lunar calendar, it was necessary to prepare the vegetables for dinner that day.
There are very few people in the countryside who hold birthday banquets to celebrate their birthdays, and there are no families in the townships and towns who hold birthday banquets, after all, people's living standards are very low at this time, the food is just enough to eat, and there are almost no side jobs.
When it comes to birthdays, it's nothing more than boiling a few eggs at home and ordering noodles, and getting a few decent meals in the evening is already a very good thing.
Li Zhongxin's grandmother is sixty years old, and according to the people in the Northeast, it is sixty years old.
If Wang Bo hadn't developed in Jiangcheng, if the family wasn't rich now, Li Zhongxin's grandmother wouldn't have had such a big birthday.
Li Zhongxin's grandmother has two thoughts, one is that the birthday is far away from her, that is, when the family was not raided when she was a child, the family gave her a birthday. After getting married, a lot of children were born, and eating became a problem, not to mention birthdays, or you couldn't eat anything delicious during the New Year.
Now that her son is rich, she wants to do it on her sixtieth birthday, so that the neighbors can take a look at it, and the old Wang family has gotten better.
Second, she also wants to use the birthday event to let the children in the family come to the house to have a lively time, and now she can be said to be a person full of children and grandchildren, and now she has a camera, take some photos and leave some thoughts.
When Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo returned to Daxinglin Village from Fu County, Feng Xiaowu had already driven a jeep and brought Wang Yaqing, Li Shangyong and Li Zhongxin's aunt Wang Yajie to the village, and was directing a few young men from the neighborhood to help carry the items behind the jeep!
This time, Li Zhongxin also spent some thought in order to prepare a birthday banquet for his grandmother, meat and some seafood were transported by Feng Xiaowu from Jiangcheng, and the rest of the canned products, as well as some other things and vegetables, were purchased by him and Wang Bo in Fuxian, if they were transported from Jiangcheng, the vegetables would not be fresh.
Tables, chairs and benches are spontaneously taken out by every household in the village, some small vegetables and the like, which can be eaten and picked directly in the field, eggs, small vegetables and other things, and some villagers spontaneously send them in the early morning.
This time, when Li Zhongxin's grandmother celebrated her birthday, she said that not only everyone in the family would be here, but the whole village would also come over to attend the birthday banquet.
This birthday banquet is just a simple banquet for relatives and friends in the village, not to accept gifts or give things, but to simply give back to the relatives and friends in the village for so many years of taking care of their family.
Under normal circumstances, the main family in the countryside is called "doing things", and the people who come to celebrate outside are called "Sui Li", as long as there is someone to do it, the big guys can help anything, and they will give some money as a courtesy, but this time Li Zhongxin's grandmother resolutely did not accept gifts, and only invited guests to dinner.
Although Li Zhongxin's grandmother's house is not close to the Songhua River, there are two big rivers here, and there are many fish in the river.
What about fish! Li Zhongxin told his uncle Wang Zhi here that when he bought it, he would ask for 120 pieces of about the same size, and the first dish would be made into carp with sauce.
Then there is pork, which is an indispensable main dish in rural banquets, and a banquet can serve many guests at the banquet by killing a pig.
Under normal circumstances, killing a pig when getting married in the countryside is enough for a banquet, and there will usually be some leftovers, and the rest will be packed for some relatives and friends to take home.
This time, Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo held a banquet, and directly killed six big pigs, two big cows, one hundred and twenty chickens, sixty big geese, two hundred bottles of canned luncheon meat, and twenty boxes of canned fish for Zhongxin, in short! In a word, it's not bad for money.
Either this kind of banquet will not be held, and if it is to be organized, it will be the best, and if a large banquet without gifts is held in the countryside, the prestige of Li Zhongxin's grandmother's family in the village will be much higher in the future.
Things were well prepared, more than a dozen cooks and assistant cooks invited from nearby villages and towns began to cook after arriving here, and more than 30 cauldrons began to emerge under the operation of these chefs and assistant cooks, and the entire Xinglin Village was surrounded by a strong aroma.
