Evening.

After dinner, Jiang Ping'an and the leaders went to the threshing floor together.

There are a lot of people, and there are more people who came to see the movie tonight than yesterday.

Guo Lin's family also came, and after Jiang Ping'an talked to them for a while, he went to the projector.

As soon as he sat down, Qin Jingru came over and said with a smile: "Ping'an, I'm here." ”

"Where are you sitting?" Jiang Ping'an got up and asked with a smile, and at the same time took out a large handful of melon seeds from his trouser pocket and handed them over.

Qin Jingru stretched out her hands and found that she couldn't hold them, so she pulled her clothes and pocketed them.

"The far edge of the east." She replied with a smile on her face.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I have a lot of melon seeds in my pocket, all for you, remember to give some to your cousin."

As he spoke, he grabbed several handfuls of melon seeds from his two trouser pockets until he hollowed them out.

"It's too much, at least two catties, don't you leave some?" Qin Jingru asked in admiration.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said: "I don't lack this to eat, you can eat it!" ”

"Okay, I'll come to you in the evening, so I won't bother you now." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

Then he turned around and walked away.

Jiang Ping'an glanced sideways to the east, and it happened that Qin Huairu also looked over.

She was stunned, and then smiled, and her smile was extraordinarily sweet and charming.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, raised his hand and looked at the time, it was almost ready to be shown, so he picked up the microphone and said:

"Next, I would like to invite Captain Tang of the Sixth Brigade of Nantai Commune to speak, and I warmly welcome!"

……

Three movies, and it didn't end until midnight.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru only watched half of the movie before evacuating, and their grandfather's house was even more lively.

The villagers left the scene in an orderly manner, and Guo Lin's family came over to say a few words to Jiang Ping'an before leaving.

After collecting the equipment, Jiang Ping'an came to Zhao Yuguang's house to spend the night.

Even in the middle of the night, Zhao Laokou's house is still very lively, and it can be heard from afar.

At night, there are people mourning the vigil, the gongs and drums do not stop, and occasionally the cry can be heard.

Obviously, unlike the last time Luo Manzi walked away coldly, Zhao Lao took away very dignified.

As the saying goes, ten miles are different sounds, and three miles are not customary, which is by no means consistent.

In addition to the important process, the details are very different in many places.

"Team Zhao, this gong and drum has never stopped, how many have come?"

After Jiang Ping'an put the bicycle on the rack, he asked curiously.

Zhao Yuguang said with a smile: "There are many relatives and friends, and a total of twenty-eight gong and drum teams came, and I counted them. ”

"Then you've been helping me before, and you haven't delayed your business, have you?" Jiang Ping'an hurriedly said.

Zhao Yuguang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, my eldest is over there to help." ”

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for releasing three movies today, and our production team has face."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Team Zhao is serious, this is what I should do." ”

After the two chatted a few words, Zhao Yuguang's eldest daughter-in-law brought hot water over and asked Jiang Ping'an to take a bath.

The temperature was cool at night, and after taking a bath with hot water, it was extra comfortable.

Jiang Ping'an was about to stuff the changed clothes into his duffel bag.

In fact, it is stored in a space, washed and dried, and then stored.

But as soon as he arrived at the hall, Zhao Yuguang's eldest daughter-in-law enthusiastically snatched all the clothes and helped wash them.

Yes, it is difficult to resist the hospitality, and Jiang Ping'an did not refuse.

A simple bed was built in the courtyard, but Jiang Ping'an couldn't sleep.

So he said hello to Zhao Yuguang, and the two went to Zhao Laokou's house to watch the excitement.

There are indeed a lot of people, rubbing shoulders.

Some gathered around the door, and some sat on the benches in the courtyard and chatted with each other.

Torches are lit in the courtyard, illuminating the surroundings, and the sound of gongs and drums is particularly noisy at night.

In addition to the stench emanating from the mourning hall, there is also the sour smell of sweat on people's bodies, which is really unpleasant.

"It's a pity that I can't buy firecrackers, and I always feel that something is missing." Zhao Yuguang sighed lightly.

"Peace, you can do it yourself, I'll go over and see if I can help if I can help."

Jiang Ping'an bowed his head and said, "Team Zhao, you are busy, don't worry about me." ”

He saw Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, and the two of them knelt in the mourning hall wearing linen and filial piety to burn paper money.

It seems that I have cried, and my eyes are red.

Of course, not only the two of them, but also many of Zhao Laokou's juniors.

Many people greeted Jiang Ping'an, and the projectionist was able to come over, and the Zhao family felt that it was unique.

Qin Jingru's eldest brother also came over to install a cigarette with Jiang Ping, exchanged a few words, and went busily again.

Jiang Ping'an found a place to hang the gift, and hung five cents, which is quite okay in the big market.

Then, Jiang Ping'an found a resting gong and drummer and asked people about the rules of the funeral.

Anyway, being idle is idle, and it never hurts to know more things.

Each place, there are customs of each place.

I know a lot about this kind of thing, and I can interject when I talk to people in the future.

Like these gong and drummers, they go south and north, and they dare not say anything too far away.

But in this part of the capital, what rules are there, they can all say that the head is the Tao.

Don't say it, I don't know if I don't know, there are many scary rules inside, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will commit a taboo.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ping'an learned a lot.

It wasn't until Qin Jingru and the others came out of the mourning hall that he ended chatting with the gong and drummer.

……

The night is hazy, and there is a moth moon hanging in the sky.

Outside the village, there is a cool breeze.

On the country road, Qin Jingru took Jiang Ping'an's hand and walked towards the reservoir of the production team.

"After a busy day, I was sweating, and it happened that you accompanied me to the reservoir, and I wanted to take a bath."

Jiang Ping'an held a flashlight in his other hand to illuminate it, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't stink the fish in the reservoir to death!" ”

"Phew, you stink, don't talk about me like that." Qin Jingru chuckled and said coquettishly.

"Besides, if I really don't wash, you dare to touch me?"

Jiang Ping'an smiled and nodded: "I really don't dare, it's better to be clean." ”

"That's right, I wanted to go for a long time, but I'm afraid of the dark when I go alone at night."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and asked, "Are there any small ...... in the reservoir or ditch on your side?"

"Don't say it, you want to scare me to death?" Qin Jingru turned around and pressed his mouth, looking left and right, very nervous.

Then he stared at him for a few seconds, bared his teeth viciously and said, "Don't say it again, I'll bite you to death!" ”

Jiang Ping'an hesitated and said: "Don't worry, don't say anything, you are really timid." ”

"I'm inherently timid." Qin Jingru put her hand down, breathed a sigh of relief, and pouted.

The two continued to walk forward, perhaps frightened just now, Qin Jingru's walking speed slowed down a lot.

"Don't be afraid, with me with you, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Ping'an gave her courage.

Qin Jingru looked back at his tall and sturdy body, suddenly relieved, chuckled, and nodded.

After arriving on the road, Jiang Ping'an stepped forward to hold her waist and said softly: "Crying at night? ”

"Well, I didn't want to cry, even if my grandfather dies at this age, it is a happy mourning." Qin Jingru replied softly.

"But as soon as I heard my cousin next to me crying, I couldn't help but cry and cried."

"It's a pity that you haven't met my grandfather, he's still very famous here."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "I can see it, there are many gongs and drums tonight......
