At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when Chen Fan returned to the Zhiqing Point from work, Jiang Lili and the others had already prepared dinner and waited for him to come back to eat.

Seeing the food on the table, Chen Fan was a little puzzled, "Why did you eat so early today?" Can I help you? ”

Huang Ying immediately jumped out and said with a smile, "Watching a movie today, you have to go early to occupy a place, and if you go late, there will be no place." ”

Yang Ju was full of anticipation on the side, "At noon, I saw someone on the embankment walking towards the 10th team, it must be someone from other places who went to occupy the position first." ”

Liu Dan nodded vigorously, "That's it." ”

Chen Fan held his forehead and felt a little dizzy, "Didn't you say that it didn't start until 6 o'clock in the evening, and someone would go at noon?" ”

Huang Ying nodded, "They won't leave a place for those who come from out of town, they are all on a first-come, first-served basis, only our brigade will stay in the field, but if they go late, they can only stand behind, and they can't see the figure clearly." ”

If it weren't for waiting for Chen Fan to have dinner, they wouldn't even have eaten dinner, and would have gone to the 10th team to occupy a place.

As she spoke, Jiang Lili had already brought Chen Fan dishes and chopsticks, just waiting for him to take a seat.

Chen Fan didn't delay, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Today may be the fastest meal ever, Chen Fan originally wanted to ask a few questions, but found that the four girls were all immersed in cooking, and couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh, speeding up their meals.

In less than 5 minutes, they finished dinner, and then they hurriedly cleaned up, Huang Ying was still urging Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, you have a horse, you can ride a horse to go first, and we will take Grandpa Liu's mule cart later." ”

Chen Fan shook his head, "Forget it, I won't ride a horse today, I'll ride with you." ”

The devil knows how many people will come today, and if there are any sneakers and dogs inside, he still decided to travel light.

Although it is unlikely that the horse will be stolen, what if?

They know the rules of the countryside well, and they are ready to be beaten before they shoot, anyway, they will lose half their lives at most, and they will neither die nor be disabled, so they naturally dare to give it a go.

Chen Fan himself has several ways to steal a horse silently. The easiest way is to get some herbs to stun the horse, for example, there is a kind of "horse drunken wood", April and May is the time of flowering, even the flowers and leaves for the horse to eat will be sleepy, and then put on the board cart equipped with a baffle, take advantage of the dark to pull away, everyone is watching a movie again, to ensure that the gods do not know.

If you can't do it at worst, you can take off the saddle and take it away, so that he will suffer, in short, it is better to be careful.

Thinking of this, he tied his two shotguns and the saber given by Uncle Lin and hid them on the beams of the house with strips of cloth, did not take the backpack, put all his belongings in a small waist bag and tied them around his waist, and covered them with clothes.

After finishing it, I went to the backyard to hold a group meeting with the animals at home.

"None of you are allowed to sleep until I come back, Falcon, stay on the highest branch when you are fine, be in charge of the first line of vigilance, and when you see a bad guy, you will come back and fall on the horse's head, and peck it twice to sound the alarm."

Falcon, "chirp." ”

Then he flapped his wings and flew high, landing on the top of a tall metasequoia not far away, hiding under a clump of branches and leaves, looking around like a double-headed eagle.

Chen Fan continued to assign tasks, "Duoduo, Qiuqiu, you are responsible for guarding the front yard, if someone breaks in, stay away and shout." ”

Duoduo and Qiuqiu immediately responded, "Wang." ”

Chen Fan looked at the two dogs, and felt a little sorry in his heart, if they could be a little bigger, they would be able to carry out the task directly, and there would be no need to hide away from the incompetent rage.

Lose the face of the senior dog.

Turning his face, he told the little mare again, "You are responsible for guarding the back door, and if a bad guy comes in, greet him with his face and kick him!" ”

The little mare raised her head, "Sigh for the law." ”

The foal runs around happily, "I'm going to kick, I'm going to kick ......"

When the two lambs saw that it was running, they didn't care what it was called, but they just ran along, and the stable suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Chen Fan asked the little mare to discipline his son, suppress the two lambs by the way, and then arrange the outer defense line.

He went to the forest next to him, called out the cauliflower snake, and was about to speak, when he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Why have you gained weight?" ”

The cauliflower snake spit out the snake letter, "The mice and birds caught by Brother Bird don't eat them, they all feed me." ”

Chen Fan couldn't help but be a little speechless, you are here to enjoy the blessings, right?

He shook his head and said, "Be careful, if someone breaks into the yard, you can hurry over and help, anyway, you are not poisonous, just let your mouth bite." ”

The cauliflower snake straightened up halfway, "Okay." ”

Chen Fan still wanted to say a few words, but at this time, Jiang Lili and the four of them had already run out.

Each of them was carrying a canvas bag, looking solemn, as if they were going to do something big.

Huang Ying ran at the front, "Teacher Chen, we are ready." ”

Jiang Lili closed the courtyard door and followed briskly.

Chen Fan looked at them, and then at their bags, "Do you have to bring so many things to watch a movie?" ”

Huang Ying immediately smiled and said, "Dry food and water, I ate early for dinner today, I'm afraid I'll be hungry later." I brought you meat buns, and when you are hungry, come to me and get them. ”

Chen Fan opened his mouth wide, and Mu Ran nodded, "Oh, thank you." ”

Buns with meat? Isn't it cool for a while? It's okay to bring a steamed bun.

No, why are you bringing me something? What else do I need to eat?

Yang Ju also hurriedly said, "I brought a kettle, if you are thirsty, ask me to get water." ”

Liu Dan was not to be left behind, "I brought you melon seeds and peanuts, and a few pieces of rice candy." ”

Jiang Lili lagged behind, her face a little strange, "I, I didn't bring anything." ”

Huang Ying and the three of them glanced at her in unison, and secretly put 120 hearts.

If you don't bring anything, it means that you don't have any thoughts about Teacher Chen, which is very good.

And Jiang Lili was thinking about what Chen Fan told her this morning, "You don't have to bring anything to the movies, yesterday during the spring training of the militia, their militia squad leader told me, when the time comes, prepare some side dishes, drink and watch, when the time comes, you are not afraid of nothing to eat, look for me when you are hungry and thirsty, and I will bring it to you." ”

So she didn't bring anything to Chen Fan, and only stuffed a tea jar of her own into her bag. This is still when she saw Huang Ying and the others each with a bag, so as not to look different, she deliberately brought it.

But I didn't expect ......, emmm, forget it, it's better to pretend that you don't know.

While he was talking, a mule cart came over slowly, and Master Liu flicked a horsewhip and made a crisp sound, "Get in the car and go." Everyone else is long gone, so I'm leaving you. ”

The four girls each shouted "Grandpa Liu" before climbing onto the board and sitting on the baffle.

Chen Fan handed over a cigarette, helped the old man light the fire, turned around and sat down beside Master Liu, and said with a smile, "Won't the whole team of people go over today, can that place accommodate so many people?" ”

Master Liu waved his horsewhip and the mule neighed, and then pulled the cart to the west, which was to pass through the main road in the village.

When the car got up, Master Liu said, "No." There are many people who go, but not everyone will go, like my wife didn't go, and there are many who are too lazy to move, and they also sleep at home. ”

He laughed twice, "No matter how good the movie is, not everyone will like to watch it, and the one I remember the most, there were only more than 3,000 people crowded over to watch it." Later, when a movie was released, there were only a few hundred people in the village, but there were only a few hundred when there were few, and there must have been outsiders, but in fact, there were not many, it was estimated that there were only two or three hundred people at most, and sometimes there were only a few dozen.

Moreover, the 10th team is too remote, almost the northernmost section of Nanhu Commune, and too far away from the other four brigades, I estimate that it will be almost a thousand years old tonight. ”

Chen Fan nodded suddenly, thinking to himself, this is normal, if every time a movie is shown, thousands of people are gathered, so what's the deal?

Co-authored Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang, they are all talking about big scenes? !

Master Liu let the mule run by himself, smoked a cigarette and said, "Wait for the movie to be shown in the Ganjia Village Brigade one day, you go over and take a look, it will be called lively, and the people from several brigades of the whole commune will go, and it is estimated that there will be no less than 5,000 people in that scene." ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, "In the place where the market is held?" ”

Master Liu nodded, "There is a big place, people can open it, as soon as the loudspeaker is released, you can hear it on the other side of the lake, plus it is almost located in the middle of Nanhu Commune, and next to the town, when the movie is shown one day, there will be many people who take the opportunity to go to the town to shop, buy things, and watch the excitement."

I went shopping during the day, and then went to 'listen' to the movie at night, and talked to the people in the same village, and the time passed in a flash, and then I went home together, which is called Lehe. ”

After a while, I went on the main road, and at this time, I could meet some people who were late, Master Liu and Chen Fan were both influential figures in the team, and people kept greeting them.

The mule cart was shaking, and the four girls sat on the car, watching Chen Fan greet others familiarly, whether they knew each other or not, they could chat a few words, and couldn't help but secretly admire.

In the countryside in these years, being able to deal with people is also a kind of ability, even if you don't have the ability, even if you meet an acquaintance, you can't pull anything, the one who has the ability is Chen Fan, you can talk a few words if you know it or not.

Relying on this ability, you can also eat in the team. For example, if there is a red and white wedding party, it is indispensable to invite one or two such people, who are responsible for entertaining guests, if there are relatives in the natural best, but in most cases there is none, you can only go outside to invite.

If you invite someone, you have to give money and cigarettes, so there are a few people who make a living from it, the key is that this kind of person has a good face in the team, and occasionally there is a conflict between the neighbors, and they will be asked to mediate.

So at this time, Master Liu couldn't help but say, "You are a person, even if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, your life will not be bad, plus your ability, I'm afraid that this Lujiawan won't be able to keep you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the girls behind them all chuckled in their hearts and looked at Chen Fan nervously.

Chen Fan himself didn't care, and laughed, "If you want to leave, you can't keep it, and if you want to stay, it doesn't matter much if you have the ability or not, you always say, isn't this the truth?" ”

When Master Liu heard this, he immediately laughed, "Not bad, that's it." ”

Huang Ying and a few people looked at each other in the back, what do you mean?

……

The mule's feet were faster than a man's, and even if they were dragging a cart with six people on board, they gradually overtook the people on foot, and in less than an hour, they arrived at the 10th team.

Chen Fan has been here a few times before, but he only stopped at the "Lujiawan CBD" at the foot of the slope, and has never gone uphill.

When the mule cart arrived here, it stopped, and a militiaman had already greeted him and greeted him loudly, "Teacher Chen, Master Liu." ”

After a pause, he stretched out his hand to the side and pointed, "Master Liu, please hand over the mule to me, and I'll put it away for you." ”

Master Liu didn't hesitate, jumped off the board, handed him the reins, and said with a smile, "Then trouble you." ”

As he spoke, he was going to take out a cigarette.

Chen Fan had already taken out a cigarette and handed it to the man.

The man thanked him, took the cigarette and turned around and pointed to the slope, "Teacher Chen hasn't been here yet, the village school is on it, and the captain has left a place for you, just go up directly." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and pulled the mule cart away.

At this time, another donkey cart came into the entrance of the village, and the man immediately waved his hand, "Drive the cart to the side, and don't get in the way." ”

Chen Fan glanced back and found that he didn't know him, so he walked up the slope with Master Liu, and the four girls followed closely.

The more people go up, the more people there are, most of these are people from the 10th team, they have a geographical advantage, and they are not afraid of someone grabbing the position, so they are naturally not in a hurry. A small number of acquaintances from other teams sat at the door of the house drinking tea and talking. Seeing Chen Fan, he naturally greeted him again.

Finally arrived at the top of the slope, Chen Fan saw a very large field, on the edge of the field, there are two large and one small three brick houses, no need to ask, this is Lujiawan Primary School, small is a little small, but the environment is quite good, at least there should be.

On the huge playground, 12 runway-like areas with three or four meters wide are marked with lime powder, and "1 team, 2 teams, 3 teams...... are written in front of and behind

Obviously, it is a viewing position for each squad.

As for the seats, sorry, please bring your own!

In the middle area, there is a two-meter-wide position, and there are already several Eight Immortal Tables in it.

A table was a little back, with three boxes next to it, and a group of people around it, but they didn't dare to approach.

Just guess it, it's the projectionist who is making preparations, and the Eight Immortals Table is used to house the projector.

In front of the projector, there are two tables of eight immortals side by side, and there are several long benches on the sides.

Chen Fan estimates that this is the place to "watch movies while drinking".

As soon as the group of them arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of the people around them, and someone immediately shouted, "Captain, Teacher Chen is here." ”

Master Liu smoked a cigarette and couldn't help laughing, "Did you hear that, now that you are in the team, your face is bigger than mine." ”

Chen Fan shook his head and whispered, "That's not, it's mainly because the people of Lujiawan are hospitable, not long after I entered the house, they all treated me as a guest, and if I am tall, I must have seen me first." ”

When Master Liu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear, "What did I just say, you can eat Quartet with this mouth!" ”

As he was talking, Su Yujun, the captain of Team 10, hurriedly walked over and said from afar, "Teacher Chen is here, come and sit here, and the place is reserved for you." ”

Before the words fell, he saw Master Liu again, so he invited together, "Master Liu, why did you come at this time, I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's go and sit over there." ”

Master Liu waved his hand again and again with a cigarette in his mouth, "If you don't go, I'll go to the 6th team position to see." ”

Immediately, without waiting for Su Yujun to speak, he walked to the position of Team 6. It's not the first day he came to see the movie, of course he knows what the middle position is, that is, he invited a few leaders of the brigade department to sit, mainly to accompany the projectionist, so that people can come again, maybe they can bring two new films, or show one more movie.

I hadn't invited him before, so Su Yujun was obviously kind words, so he didn't go to join in the fun.

As soon as Master Liu left, Huang Ying and the four of them also waved to Chen Fan and followed.

Chen Fan definitely couldn't escape, he didn't want to run, and was dragged to the middle table by Su Yujun.

When he walked to the front, he found that Secretary Yang and the others had already arrived, standing aside one by one with their hands behind their backs, talking to the projectionist.

Su Yujun brought Chen Fan over and immediately introduced him to the projectionist, "Xu Ying, this is our great writer ,...... Lujiawan"

Before he finished speaking, the projectionist in his thirties threw away the cigarette butt and stretched out his hands with enthusiasm on his face, "Oh, I know, I know, Mr. Chen, I have been looking up for a long time, I also bought this issue of "Jiangnan Literature and Art", the article you wrote is good-looking, it is really good-looking, our leaders and the leaders of the county cultural bureau are praising you." ”

He is enthusiastic, and Chen Fan is more enthusiastic than him.

Everyone in the scene said that this kind of thing was just a trivial matter to Chen Fan, "Be polite, Xu Ying is too polite, I just write a few words, and I should not be praised by the leader." It's so hard to show the screening, and it is hard work to come from the county to send us a movie. ……”

The two of them have a good business blow to each other, Xu screened a primary school graduate, where can he withstand the praise after decades, he immediately waved his hand and said to Su Yujun, "Captain Su, don't wait, find someone to pull the curtain, add the screening today, and don't put the appetizer, let's directly do three feature films!" ”

When Su Yujun heard this, he immediately smiled, and waved his hand to the people of the militia squad, "Hurry up and put three feature films on the table." ”

It's not half past five o'clock, but it's already dark, and you can see the picture when you play the movie.

A film is about 90 to 120 minutes, three films, that is, 5 or 6 hours, tonight, it is estimated that you will have to fight until midnight.

However, except for people from other places, no one will feel late, it is rare to have a movie to watch, let alone see it in the middle of the night, even if you watch it all night, there are people to stay up with.

At the beckoning of Su Yujun, the militia comrades quickly moved to fix a rectangular curtain on a wooden shelf, while Xu Zhao carefully assembled the projector.

Su Yujun's words just now had already been heard by the people around him, so many people in the village ran away one by one, and went back to inform the family members who were still sitting firmly in Mount Tai at home, and after a while, a black crowd rushed here.

As for Chen Fan, he had already been pulled to the table and sat down, Ye Shubao smiled from ear to ear and patted his arm, "It has to be you!" ”
