The wires are pulled, the speakers are installed, and the projector is in place.

Waiting for the sound of the generator to sound, a pillar of light pierced the darkness and projected onto the large curtain, and the playground, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became silent, and they all stared at the curtain.

A number of flickering dots of light appeared on the screen, but the film had not yet begun to turn. Just wait for the film to turn up, and the picture appears, and those light spots ...... It's still there.

Su Yujun took a few people, put more than a dozen dishes on the table, brought two jars of wine, and prepared to start cooking.

There are more than a dozen dishes, but there are not many dishes, because there are two tables, so two dishes are prepared, one on each table.

Peanuts, salt-and-pepper soybeans, boiled broad beans, shredded lettuce, salt-scrambled eggs, preserved pork liver, steamed sausages, and finally a pot of soft-shelled turtle meat.

Now soft-shelled turtle meat has almost become a specialty of Lujiawan, and when guests come, whether it is a team or an individual, most of them will prepare a serving.

Although there are fewer of these things now, it's not that much, but there aren't so many things to take out and sell, and it's no problem to get one or two to entertain guests.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Chen Fan secretly said that he was reckless, he should have come over without eating.

But he thought he could eat two more bowls.

Just when he was about to talk to Ye Shubao, who was sitting next to him, the movie finally officially began.

The first film that was released was an old film that I never got tired of watching, "The Southern Expedition and the Northern War".

Of course, at this point in time, the remake of the film in '74 is definitely a new film, and it immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone, only the sound of the loudspeaker came from the huge playground, and during the short pause, only the sound of the projector turning could be heard.

Chen Fan looked around.

Well, in addition to this wine table, there are not a few people who are watching and drinking at the same time?!

Most of the people who drank were men, and most of them were older, and they didn't use chairs, they sat on the floor, and three or five people gathered together and put a small bowl in front of them.

The bowl is not a good dish, the good ones are salt and pepper soybeans, peanuts, pickles, pickles, or fresh boiled broad beans, even if they are cold, there is still a fragrance. It's almost a lump of black tempeh, and you don't use chopsticks, you can take one in your mouth and drink two sips of wine.

There are still a lot of such people, there are people left and right, and the people around them are not surprised, and they are obviously used to it.

However, whether it was the men who were drinking or the women and children who were concentrating on watching the movie, they were all engrossed in staring at the curtain at this time, and it seemed that they were even breathing a little lighter.

The only two exceptions in the audience were Chen Fan and the projectionist surnamed Xu.

If it weren't for the fact that this projectionist was a national face, not a horse face, Chen Fan would have thought he had seen a ghost.

Xu Xu has watched this film many times, but naturally he doesn't raise his head at this time, and drinks and eats food by himself.

Chen Fan noticed that when he looked at the people around him, he did not have the arrogance of the legendary "Eight Members", but was very peaceful, and there seemed to be no hint of contempt for rural people.

Whether it's true or not, Chen Fan nodded secretly, this person can be handed over!

Xu Xian suddenly raised his head and found that Chen Fan was looking at him, so he smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, have you seen this film?" ”

Not only have I watched it, I watched it three times in elementary school, and twice in junior high school, and then I was bored after work, and I was disgusted by those traffic movies and TV series, so I looked for old movies to watch and watched it a few more times.

But you can't say that.

Chen Fan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "I haven't seen it, and I want to see it, but I can't let you drink alone, come, touch one." ”

Xu Ying suddenly smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, you are too polite." ”

After taking a sip of wine, he put down his glass and said, "It's okay, you see, such a good dish today, I just want to eat more." ”

But the sound of the two of them talking directly woke up the people on the table.

Secretary Yang and Su Yujun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I saw a new movie, or a war movie with a big scene, and I even forgot about the accompanying guests, I really shouldn't have it!

Several people immediately lifted their glasses and toasted Xu Ying.

The noise at the wine table caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but when they saw that it was entertaining the projectionist, they turned their heads again.

The projectionist must not be blamed, people put on three feature films today, and they didn't even put the appetizers, and they just showed the movie, can you still blame? Or is it not human?

Teacher Chen can't blame him, what happened just now has already spread, if it weren't for Mr. Chen, would he be able to watch three movies today? Do you dare to blame him? Or is it not human?

So there is no doubt that the leaders and officers of the brigade department headed by Secretary Yang, as well as Su Yujun and others, have become the targets of slander, and in the hearts of some people, they are scolded one by one.

However, except for the wine table, the rest of the place is still silent.

was interrupted by Chen Fan, Secretary Yang and the others finally withdrew their attention from the movie, at least they could be distracted, and chatted with Xu Ying while watching the plot of the movie, so as not to snub others.

At this time, Chen Fan asked Ye Shubao curiously, "What did Xu Ying mean when he said that he didn't put appetizers just now?" ”

Without waiting for Ye Shubao to answer, Xu Ying, who had been paying attention to Chen Fan, laughed and said, "The so-called appetizers are actually some relatively short documentaries and promotional films. ”

He picked up the wine glass and touched one with Chen Fan, took a sip of wine, and continued, "If you ask this question, it means that you have never watched an open-air movie in the countryside. ”

Chen Fan grinned awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Can I say I've seen it? Although that was the end of the 90s.

Xu Ying ate a broad bean and said with a smile, "You saw a lot of outsiders coming over just now, right?" Until now, there are still people rushing here? ”

Chen Fan nodded, and then suddenly realized, "Put the 'appetizer', are you waiting for them deliberately?" ”

Xu Screening nodded and laughed softly, "Nominally, the movie starts at 6 o'clock, but under normal circumstances, the projectionist has to leave at least half an hour to put some 'appetizers', the content is mainly current affairs news produced by the news documentary studio, such as the heroes of Zhenbao Island, and then the deeds of Mr. Li, the main purpose is actually to extend the time and wait for the late masses in the distance." ”

He said and pointed around, "The veteran projectionists are all experienced, and they will only start to show the feature film when they see that the people are almost there." ”

At this time, Captain Zhang interjected, "I remember that when you played the feature film, you still had a smooth sentence, but in recent years, you have said less." ”

Xu Yingxiao laughed, "I've been here so many times, everyone must know it, so I don't bother to say it." ”

Chen Fan was a little curious, "What's the slip?" ”

Xu Zhan put down his chopsticks and demonstrated to him, "There are many machines on the projection table, and there is only one small square table, so don't squeeze to touch it, you can't escape if the machine is damaged." ”

When Chen Fan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

This sounds similar to the 90s who walked the streets selling rat poison!

A few people talked and laughed, and time passed imperceptibly.

Suddenly there was a commotion on the playground, and before Chen Fan turned his head to watch, Xiao Liewen, who had been watching the movie, turned around and said, "You're going to change the movie, right?" ”

Xu Ping didn't say a word, threw away the chopsticks and wine glass, and ran to the back.

The effort of changing the film, the people who were focusing on watching the movie just now all came to life at this time.

The children ran back and forth in front of the curtain, using their fingers as guns, and their mouths kept "biubiubiu", like heroic warriors fighting on the curtain.

The women hurried to discuss the plot, but while chatting, it became whether the teacher was good-looking or the instructor was good-looking, and in the end, it was not as good-looking as our team's teacher Chen, and I didn't know which one would be cheaper.

The old guys, when they talked about the war and chaos of the year, chatting and chatting became a grievance meeting, and they were filled with indignation one by one, only hating why they didn't follow the army back then.

Then whoever went to join the army with two kitchen knives, isn't he just where and where he is the regiment commander, he can do it, why can't we?

There was a lot of noise all around, but Xu was unmoved, concentrating on changing the film.

The master is the master, and in a few minutes, the film is changed and the movie starts again.

He was sure that there was no problem, so he walked back and sat down and said, "A film can only be left for 45 minutes, and you have to change the film in 45 minutes, and you have to change a movie two or three times, which is also hard work." ”

Chen Fan lifted the wine glass without saying a word, "Hard work, come, drink one." ”

Xu didn't feel hard anymore, so he picked up the wine glass and did it.

Putting down the wine glass, Xu Ying may be because the wine is strong, maybe the conversation box is open, and at this time there are obviously more words, "This year is good, many movies have been unblocked, you can take them out and watch them." In the early years, it was those few films that were turned over and over. ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, "Red Lantern Story, Shajiabang, Outwitting Tiger Mountain, Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment, River Crossing Reconnaissance, Shining Red Star, Tunnel Warfare, Mine Warfare, just a few."

A lot of people asked, 'Huh? That's all you guys have for a few movies? Nothing else? ’

I want something else, too! ”

He patted the table and said, "They only watch it two or three times a year, and they feel tired of watching it, what about me?" I watch it more than 300 times a year, and no matter how good the movie is, I want to vomit when I watch it! ”

Chen Fan tried to maintain the expression on his face, but he felt that he was about to lose his breath.

So he hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, drink and drink." ”

Xu Zhao picked up a piece of soft-shelled turtle meat and suddenly asked, "I heard that this soft-shelled turtle meat was also invented by you?" ”

Chen Fan blinked, can he use the word "invention"?

However, he understood what Xu Zhao meant, so he said with a smile, "No, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, eating soft-shelled turtles has a history of hundreds of years, and I just borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Xu Ying raised his glass, "That's also good, I like this soft-shelled turtle meat very much, it's better than chicken, come, I salute you." ”

Chen Fan touched him, his eyes were a little worried, and he said that he was going to show three movies today, don't you get drunk for me in advance?!

He went back to see the others, hoping to get a little help.

Well, Su Yujun, who was still calling Xu Ying a brother just now, had already bitten his chopsticks and forgot to let go; Secretary Yang, who claimed to have seen the world, held a wine glass and didn't know who he wanted to salute; Ye Shubao stretched out his chopsticks in the vegetable bowl, put a piece of air in his mouth, and then picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with the air, and drank happily; Xiao Liewen kept staring at the curtain, forgetting to eat the food, just smoking vigorously.

The only one who still knows how to eat is Zhang Wenliang, who is in the last seat, he simply turned around and faced the curtain, his fists clenched tightly, as if he had traveled to the time and space of the year, fighting with thousands of veterans.

How did Xu Ying know the worries in Mr. Chen's heart, it was rare to meet a great writer who would be praised even by leaders and leaders, and this great writer was also very close to him, and he spoke better than himself, so he didn't drink hard?

So in Chen Fan's worried eyes, a mention of wine was scooped up from the wine jar, you and I will do it if you are a brother!

Another 45 minutes passed, Xu Yingying stood up and shook it, "Teacher Chen, I'll go change the film, and we'll continue to drink when we come back." ”

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Xu Ying, I'm very curious about showing movies, can you teach me how to change the plate?" ”

Xu Ying didn't say a word, "What's this, you come here, I'll teach you to change." ”

Then he turned around and staggered towards the projector.

Chen Fan hurriedly ran in front of him and said softly, "I heard that it is better to practice it once than to learn it a hundred times, otherwise, you command, I will do it, how about it?" ”

Xu Yingying is now simply treating him as a half-brother, do you still need to ask about this little thing?

Immediately pointed to the copy in the box, "I tell you, changing the piece is the easiest, you first take off the plate on the machine, and then put this plate on it, but you can't put it directly, if you want to turn it, I will teach you, you have to turn it like this first, and then turn it like that......"

Within two minutes, Chen Fan learned to change films.

He accompanied Xu Ying to continue drinking, drinking and drinking, and the first movie was finally finished.

It wasn't until this time that Secretary Yang and the others came back to their senses.

"Oh, this film is so good, that division commander acted so well!"

"The division commander is a good actor, but the role of the political commissar cannot be ignored."

"Squad Leader Chen is similar to my old squad leader back then, dare to fight, but unfortunately, I fought too hard and there were no people."

"Actually, that soldier named Li Hu is also very good, flesh and blood, worthy of all our militia to learn from him, and also to be a steel knife for the motherland!"

Chatting and chatting, Secretary Yang first found that something was wrong, "Eh, why didn't Xu Ying change the film?" ”

Su Yujun looked at Xu Screening, who was holding a wine glass and holding chopsticks in his hand, but lowered his head and thought about it, and called softly, "Xu Screening, Xu Screening?" ”

Seeing that Xu Ying didn't respond, he turned his head and pushed it gently.

Well, Xu Ying slammed on the table and even snored.

Everyone felt numb at this moment.

Secretary Yang, "Just released a movie, he was drunk, how to get it?" ”

Xiao Liewen, "Alas, he shouldn't have been allowed to drink first." ”

Just when everyone is at a loss, the movie suddenly starts again, and it's a new one.

Looking back, I saw Chen Fan come over and sit down, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there is me." ”
