Chapter 32: Chinese New Year's Eve

He wanted to touch the saddle before, but he was afraid of scratching the paint, so he could only look at it with envy and longing, just like a child who saw his beloved toy in the mall, but did not dare to approach it because of the astronomical price.

"Sister Qian, you are amazing, you can afford such an expensive bicycle." Xue Qingshan sincerely worshipped.

When I arrived at the door of the village committee, I saw that a large number of villagers were already waiting.

"Comrade Zhang Qian, on behalf of Luobian Village, I warmly welcome your arrival!"

The village chief smoked a dry cigarette, the wrinkled smile on his face blossomed, and he took the lead in applauding, and the villagers who had already taken Mazha to fill the open space also applauded warmly.

In this era of lack of entertainment facilities, the popularity of broadcasters can be said to be comparable to the star cards of later generations.

"Comrade Zhang Qian, it's been hard all the way, let's go to dinner first, and we specially stewed an old hen for you!" The village chief said with a smile.

Zhang Qian waved her hand and said, "Then how can it be done?" Let's wait until the movie is over before eating! ”

The simple villagers were overjoyed and applauded warmly, and the half-grown children danced excitedly, even clapping their hands red, and obediently sat on the pony.

After some preparation, the movie officially opened.

This time, the film is a domestic black-and-white film "Spring in the Water Town", which tells the story of Nanwan Village affected by floods and the fertile land turned into a lake. The story of Ji Chunlin, the village chief, led the villagers to overcome many difficulties and turn the lake into a rice field and reap a bumper harvest.

Zhang Qian looked at the villagers who watched the film attentively, there were girls with braids, little children who forgot to wipe their noses with runny noses, and old men who smoked dry cigarettes, gathered under the stars, staring at the black and white beating pictures, laughing, nervous, and sad......

A handful of light and crowds at the entrance of the village committee are destined to be indelible memories for three generations.

The plot of the movie is rich, the lines are easy to understand, and the villagers can empathize, so the screening of the movie was a great success.

The village chief smiled and looked at Zhang Qian with satisfaction: "Comrade Zhang has worked hard!" I'm hungry for two hours, let's go, let's talk while eating! ”

"Please!"

Waiting for Zhang Qian and the others to leave, none of the villagers left, and they were still immersed in the wonderful movie, you talked about the plot word by word, and the young man memorized the movie lines in a good way.

In the next half month, according to the established schedule, Zhang Qian went around the villages around the capital to show movies one by one to complete the task of theatrical performances.

In the past half a month, all kinds of delicious food and drink have been served, and Zhang Qian feels that she has gained several pounds.

With the warm farewell of the villagers at the last stop, we embarked on the way back.

Her flying pigeon bicycle alone is full of agricultural goods, from onions, ginger and garlic to game mushrooms, and a fat old hen hangs on each side of the handlebar.

Zhang Qian felt the enthusiasm of the simple farmers for the first time, the hearts of the people are still very simple these days, Zhang Qian's bicycle is crunched, the saddle is tied with two circles of dry vermicelli, and it is impossible to ride.

Even though she repeatedly pushed and said that she didn't want much, the enthusiastic villagers still pressed a few catties of stick noodles on her fragile 28 shoulders.

Zhang Qian didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that the villagers who were chased out would continue to give gifts.

Coincidentally, when passing by the gate of Luobian Village, Xue Qingshan happened to be standing under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and after seeing Zhang Qian, he trotted over happily.

"What are you...... Waiting for me? ”

"Mmmm, I heard the village chief say that you just went back to the city today for the New Year, and I was waiting here early in the morning." His face was red from the cold, and he took out a bag of peanuts with mud from his pocket, which looked like he had several pounds.

"Take this, this is this year's new peanuts."

"Okay, then I'll take it."

Zhang Qian thought for a while, took out five yuan and ten catties of food stamps from his trouser pocket and handed them to him.

"Sister Qian, I can't ask for these." Xue Qingshan hurriedly waved his hand, "Besides, these peanuts, how can they be worth so much money?" ”

"Take it, I can't ask for your peanuts for nothing."

"Okay." Xue Qingshan happily accepted the money.

After waving goodbye, Zhang Qian got back on her bike and returned to the city.

When she returned to the entrance of the alley, she happened to see Teacher Liao, who was carrying paste and preparing to paste couplets on the gate of the courtyard.

"Teacher Liao, I'm busy pasting couplets!"

"Hey, Xiaoqian is back from a performance in the countryside! Ouch, you've gained a lot......"

Seeing the souvenirs and mountain goods brought back by Zhang Qian, Mr. Liao's eyes widened, staring at Zhang Qian's bicycle, Harazi almost didn't come out, and took the initiative to come up and greet him warmly.

Zhang Qian took out a string of wild mushrooms from the handlebar pocket and said, "A little mountain goods, Mr. Liao, you can take it back and eat it." ”

Liao Hongbing accepted it with a smile, for a calculating iron rooster like him, no matter what it is, he can be happy for a long time.

Zhang Qian didn't care, and said politely: "Okay, Mr. Liao, you are busy first, I have to go back to the factory to order something, put down my things and leave, wait for the time, go to your house to visit." ”

Liao Hongbing waved his hand and said, "Xiaoqian doesn't need to be so polite, they are all from the same courtyard." ”

Zhang Qian said: "It's not that I'm polite, this time I went to the countryside, the villagers were too enthusiastic, and gave me some more seasonings such as ginger, garlic, pepper, etc., I thought that I couldn't eat so much by myself, and the two of you made dumplings at home during the New Year, and put more seasonings to taste it!" ”

Seasoning!

This thing is not easy to get, every household can get some green onion salt at most, how can they have spare money to buy spices, and more importantly, the supply of this thing is too small and the price is not low.

Even in the canteen, spices such as peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon are only used when Director Wang treats guests.

"Okay, good, good to say, then I'll wait for you!"

The corners of Liao Hongbing's mouth bloomed, and his head nodded like a chicken eating rice. Even if he still wants to refuse, Zhang Qian gives too much!

Zhang Qian said again: "Aunt Liao said a few days ago that when she is old, her sense of taste has deteriorated, and she has no taste for eating on weekdays. ”

Teacher Liao said gratefully: "Xiaoqian, you have a heart!" ”

"Yes, then I'll go first!"

"Okay, okay, you get busy first!"

Teacher Liao smiled and helped Zhang Qian carry the rear wheel over the threshold.

Thinking of the benefits that can be shared by talking to him, Mr. Liao said with emotion: "You said that this broadcaster is really fat." No wonder others say that this trip to the countryside can earn half a month's salary! This is not bragging! ”

Zhang Qian locked the bicycle, piled up the mountain goods in the kitchen, and put the two old hens in the chicken coop.

....

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Qianlei finished a set of broadcast gymnastics in the yard without moving.

Sweating all over the body, simply wiping it, changing into a new clothes, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Qian only needs to go to the factory to order, and then you can come back to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
