Cinema, open-air!

In the 70s, there were very few movies in the courtyard of the troupe, and people's spiritual and cultural life was still very monotonous. The only entertainment appliance that Cheng's family can get their hands on is a luxury item that the couple decided to buy after discussing for several nights - a Shanghai brand four-speaker transistor radio!

This can't be said that the Cheng family is "trying to enjoy" and "catch up with the fashion", but many people in the group have this thing at home.

Oh, especially Cai Sangu! The Cai Sangu who loves Li Xiulan the most!

I really can't get used to Cai Sangu's pride since she bought a radio, and her ass is twisted more happily than that of a hen laying eggs, and she has been snorting in front of her several times, which really makes Li Xiulan itch her teeth.

Isn't it just a radio? Buy, let's buy too! And to buy one that is even more advanced than her!

The chief helmsman of the family spoke, and Cheng Jia'an naturally had no opinion. Besides, Cheng Jia'an also wanted to buy one for a long time.

Every day when I go home and eat, I either listen to my mother-in-law training the baby, or I listen to the children playing, and my scalp is blown up. If only there was a radio! There is not only radio, news, music, but also storytelling.

Isn't this more pleasant than holding a broken newspaper and looking at it?

So, a high-standard radio settled in Cheng's house, and the couple who have always been regarded as treasures have been carefully cared for, and when they are fine, they often wipe it twice, and cover it with a layer of white bib woven by Li Xiulan with fine threads.

And the regulations are good, no one can touch it, especially the naughty Cheng Jianghai.

In addition to listening to some radio, watching open-air movies can satisfy the urgent desire of many people, and the excitement in the group at this time is comparable to the gathering in important seasons.

Two thick telephone poles are buried in the ground, and a screen made of boxy white cloth can be hung. The leading workers, the old and the young, the mother-in-law and the men, basically the whole family mobilized, eaten, and did not wait for dark to carry small benches and small horses, and came to the curtain early to seize the advantageous terrain. It's late, and there's not much left of a good location.

Fighting a war requires equipment! The same goes for watching open-air movies!

staring at the screen dryly, without chewing something in your mouth, no matter how wonderful the movie is, it will lose its color.

What to chew on?

The best choice is, of course, melon seeds! Affordable, cheap and wear-resistant, this thing has long become a must-have flavor condiment for everyone in open-air cinemas.

It's said to be cheap, but it can't be unrestrained to give these gluttons, do you live, the fine water can flow for a long time.

Of course, there is also the issue of distribution.

Therefore, whenever there are some snacks at home, Li Xiulan always has to pile them up evenly under the noses of the children, and no one is biased, so as not to cause the children to be angry because of the "uneven distribution of spoils".

No, a small pot of sunflower seeds is fried, and on the flat table, four small mountain buns are "finely" divided. No matter which angle you look at, it is exactly the same size and square circle, and you can even doubt that the number of melon seeds in each pile may be accurate to the point.

I have to say that Li Xiulan's hand has been practiced as "practice makes perfect".

A few children stood beside them, in fact, their eyes were greedy, as if they were rushing to the game, waiting for their mother's order to start choosing.

After all, He Yi'an and Cheng Jiangshui are much older and more sensible, so they will not grab food with their younger brothers for a long time. But Li Xiulan's model is still continuing, and it has become a habit for the whole family.

And Cheng Jianghe and Cheng Jianghai don't have so many worries, and they have already set their sights on the target.

"Alright, take it!" Li Xiulan opened her mouth.

Cheng Jianghe and Cheng Jianghai quickly pounced on their targets, and couldn't wait to put them in their pockets, seeing that Li Xiulan was angry and funny.

"Slow down, no one will rob you two, the gluttonous ghost will be reborn." Yi'an, take the river water! This time, remember to bring the river and the sea. ”

"Got it!" Cheng Jiangshui replied crisply.

After the two younger brothers finished taking it, He Yi'an and Cheng Jiangshui put the remaining melon seeds into their pockets. Seeing his mother's indifferent appearance, Cheng Jiangshui asked in astonishment, "Mom, aren't you going?" I heard that the movie is good. ”

Li Xiulan waved her hand and said lazily: "Forget it, it's rare for me to be a little free, without you dangling in front of me, I have to finish a few clothes quickly, you can go by yourself." ”

Who doesn't want to watch the movie, but the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation have long occupied all their free time.

As Li Xiulan said, going to and from work, busy and busy, the rhythm of life is like building blocks being spliced together, and there is basically no respite. It's no wonder that after a long time, Li Xiulan is also a little exhausted and complaining.

But you have to keep doing it, this is the mother's duty, and you can't get rid of it!

"Oh, then we went...... Let's go, let's watch a movie. With the greeting of the eldest brother He Yi'an, the four children jumped up and down to team up to grab the position.

When it was over, Li Xiulan didn't forget to tell her behind her buttocks: "Don't give me the whole thing!" ”

But the children have long since run away without a trace, and they don't know if they hear or not. Li Xiulan sighed, groped out the sewing box from the cabinet by the kang, the needle moistened between the dots of white hair that she didn't know when, lowered her head and began to sew the clothes stitch by stitch.

In the movie theater, there are already many people crowded there, smoking cigarettes and mouths, sighing a little about the impermanence of the world, and a little bit of their parents' shortcomings, but there is a rare harmony in the noise.

After all, the early bird has worms, and the four children flexibly interspersed in the crowd, squeezed into a small open space at the front, and as soon as the small bench was placed, it was considered to have occupied the position, and the next thing was to wait patiently for the movie to begin.

Once he sat down, Cheng Jianghai couldn't wait to rummage the melon seeds out of his pocket. Because I don't know how to swallow, I can only pick up a few and stuff them into my mouth, and then chew them indiscriminately, crunching.

Cheng Jiangshui wiped the black ash from his brother's mouth with a smile, and said lovingly: "Jiang Hai, don't eat like this, what can you eat?" Come, my sister will give you a snort, put it here, you sit obediently, and you want to eat it yourself. ”

"Well, sister is the best, sister, you get a lot of it, Jiang Hai wants to eat it in a big bite!"

Cheng Jianghai's chick nodded as if pecking rice, and his calves flicked happily on the ground.

Cheng Jiangshui smiled skillfully, maybe she was mature and sensible, maybe Cheng Jianghai was a little younger than herself, she was full of unprincipled love for this younger brother, this kind of treatment was not comparable to Cheng Jianghe, no matter how jealous he was, he couldn't change this fact.

And Cheng Jianghai is also full of attachment to this sister!

Many times his parents are busy and can't take care of his active and playful self, and although his brothers also protect him, they are always less patient. Most of the time, his sister is by his side and loves him meticulously. If there is anything delicious, my sister always secretly saves it and stuffs it into her small pocket, and when she is free, she still holds him to tell stories and listen to her delicate and light singing.

The family did not have the habit of giving the children pocket money, Cheng Jiangshui secretly sold scrap products for several days, and only then did he scrap together enough nine cents, and Cheng Jianghai, who was greedy, bought a long-awaited popsicle.

This is how feelings are slowly cultivated!

Cheng Jiangshui has a mother's smell on his body. It's just that compared with Li Xiulan, she is more gentle and supple, like cotton and water, which may be the reason why Cheng Jianghai is attached to her sister.

Whenever he couldn't sleep, he always yelled to sleep with his sister. At this time, the Cheng family and his wife were also made angry by Cheng Jianghai, and basically let it go.

In the long run, in Cheng Jianghai's mind, in this family, the words of two people must be listened to, one is his mother, and the other is his sister Cheng Jiangshui.

Looking at Cheng Jianghai's happy appearance, Cheng Jiangshui smiled and agreed briskly.

"Okay, sister!"

Putting the eaten melon seeds on the hem of his clothes, Cheng Jiangshui turned his head in astonishment, but saw He Yi'an on the other side, put the eaten melon seeds beside him, and asked in surprise: "Huh?" Brother Yi'an, why don't you eat it yourself! ”

He Yi'an smiled heartily and said, "You give Jiang Hai a snort, I'll give it to you, hehe, you take care of your brother, I take care of you!" ”

"Hmmm! Good! Cheng Jiangshui was very happy.

Cheng Jianghe, who was hanging on the other side, was obviously jealous, pouting and asking, "Sister, why don't you give it to me?" ”

Cheng Jiangshui glared back at Cheng Jianghe, and the momentum of the eldest sister immediately emerged, and her eyes were slightly gloomy: "You still have to use me to help you, Jiang Hai is small, he can't swallow, you come by yourself!" ”

Cheng Jianghe rolled his eyes helplessly, he didn't dare to raise the bar with his sister Ming.

Don't look at Cheng Jiangshui's gentle, virtuous, pure and elegant appearance, in fact, most of her bones still inherit Li Xiulan's stubbornness and toughness, she is really a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and is very assertive.

My sister spoke, so I could only obediently shut up and feel sorry for myself.

After a while, there were more and more people, and the two sons of Aunt Cai Sangu in the Northeast, Qi Jialong and Qi Jiahu, also squeezed forward.

Once upon a time, He Yi'an was at odds with Qi Jialong!

Why not? I'm afraid the reason for this has to be found from the previous generation.
