Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 616 Wild Vegetable Stuffed Buns, Watching Outdoor Movies in the Threshing Field
Li Haijun also let her go, children, play for a few days, and it will be fine once the freshness wears off.

Everyone started kneading the dough, raising the dough, chopping the stuffing, and preparing steamed buns with wild vegetables.

Everyone is afraid of snakes and doesn't eat snakes. Li Haijun stewed snake soup and made snake skin for teaching and research.

Have a drink with Father Li.

There were still a lot of fish, shrimp and crab yesterday, so I stewed it with a spoonful.

When the Li family was eating, everyone in the village also quit work.

When someone passed by Li's house, they wanted to say hello, but seeing that the door of Li's house was closed, they knew that they didn't want to be disturbed.

"I lost my job, what is there to be proud of..."

"Hey, I lost my job because of my craftsmanship. Besides, I already have a registered permanent residence in the city."

·······
He said everything, obviously, it was Li Laoer who spread the news with Li Laosan.

Li Haijun didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Maybe he will thank Li Lao Er and Li Lao San for saving him a lot of trouble.

"You little ones, you can't eat any more."

Li Haijun looked at the small ones, no one had eaten two big buns, and he hurriedly stopped them.

"Look at you, your little bellies are all round."

"But it's delicious."

"It's delicious, but you can't eat too much. The rest will be eaten tomorrow morning."

After eating and resting for half an hour, Li Haijun forced everyone to exercise.

It's really impossible not to exercise, not only he himself has gained a lot of weight now.

My younger sister, Li Jinxin, has a double chin, will she still look like a girl if she gets fatter?
Father Li: "Son, let's forget about my age."

Li Haiyan shook her head: "It is precisely because I am old that I need to exercise, otherwise how can I live a long life?"

Father Li has no choice but to take a good lead.

Mother Ding: "Don't look at me, I will exercise with you!
Except for Xiao Shengnan, everyone in the family stood in the yard and started bouncing up and down.

Li Jinxin also got over the addiction of the teacher.

Teach everyone to dance.

"Old Li!"

"Yo light bulb."

Li Haijun greeted with a smile: "Uncle Bulb."

"Ugh."

"Why did you come back?"

Father Li: "Bring the child back to live for a while."

Bulb: "You two brothers are spreading the word..."

Father Li: "These two bastards."

Li Haijun: "Dad, don't be angry, it's not worth it."

Bulb: "The production team is showing a movie today, don't you guys go?"

Li Haijun: "Show a movie..."

"Go, why not go."

There are no entertainment activities in the country, and watching movies is the only pastime.

A 16mm projector, a screen cloth, a projectionist, a beam of light projection, a group of free audience...

In the rural areas of the 60s and [-]s, showing movies in the open air has become the most popular form of entertainment for people.

Movies in the village are usually invited to the production brigade, and the brigade pays about 30 yuan to reward the villagers with movies.

Li Haijun took his family and a small bench to the threshing ground.

On the threshing floor, bamboo poles set up a curtain, and sharp-eyed people spread the exciting news to the villages. In the days when cultural life was poor, watching a movie was equivalent to watching a big show, which brought people a lot of joy. !

On the threshing ground under the night, long and short stools are already lined up, and the villagers occupy a favorable position.

I'm sorry for the people from other villages, although they all belong to the same commune, they can only stand up for cultural consumption.

There were children running around everywhere, some went up to the roof or the wall, some climbed the tree, climbed up the branch and squatted, sitting like a monkey, looking down at the video screen from the tree.

Because Li Haijun brought a stool, everyone sat at the back. Not long after they sat down, there were still people rushing towards the threshing floor.

People are looking at the curtain eagerly, and they are talking about what movie will be shown today.

As a beam of light casts on the white cloth, there is an old set of images that people are accustomed to, such as graceful coconut trees, clear and shallow bays, and a bright moon hanging in the sky.

There is a big word "quiet" in the blank space of the picture, and this frame of standard picture has lasted for at least 10 years.

Then there is the commune, the brigade notice, and the newsreel number.

Little Victory got impatient: "Dad, when will the movie start?"

Li Haijun remembered that when he was a child, he was just like his son and had no patience.

Dad always smiled and told himself: "Soon."

He also looked at his son like this: "Hurry up, wait a little longer."

Xiao Shengli looked at the children around him with envy.

"Daddy, can I play with them?"

Six girls: "No."

"Why, mother?"

"You also want to be like them, go to the house to uncover tiles? Go to the wall to build trees?"

"If you dare, I will open your ass."

Xiao Shengli was frightened by his mother, and immediately ran to his grandfather's arms to seek comfort, and even clutched his little buttocks.

Finally made it to the beginning of the official film.

Children love war movies the most. Whenever Bayi Film Studio appears on the screen, the shining five-pointed star icon, accompanied by the March of the People's Liberation Army, will be clapped.

My lord, please be more restrained, it doesn't matter if you fight or not, you don't show such joyful madness.

In the era of cultural poverty, there are only a few films, and the wheels are playing.

After watching it repeatedly, people can almost recite the lines.

Especially the classic word: high!Really high ("Landmine Warfare").

I am not afraid that you will have a good time today, but I am afraid that you will pull out the list tomorrow ("Little Soldier Zhang Ga").

Let Comrade Lenin go first, there will be bread and milk ("Lenin in 1918").

Shoot me for victory ("Heroes and Daughters").

Attention all groups, you are not allowed to let go of your guns and open fire ("Tunnel Warfare").

This kind of screen language unknowingly penetrates into daily life. Sometimes when the production team ends a meeting, someone will playfully and loudly say: "Let the captain comrade go first", and everyone laughs amidst the ridicule.

Today is an old movie, The Southern Expedition and the Northern War.

Little Shengli seemed to want to discover the new world, and saw some children around him holding small pistols.

"Dad, I want too!"

Liu Yatou looked at it: "Son, it's made of mud, it's dirty."

Little Shengli looked at the other children enviously, with tears in his eyes: "No, I want it."

Seeing that the sixth girl was going to get angry, Li Haijun said, "My dad can bend wire into a pistol, or make it out of wood, not mud."

Li Haijun recalled when he was a child: "Dad did it for me when I was young."

Li Jinxin continued: "Well, I also played, but I just picked up what my brother left."

Father Li hugged his eldest grandson with a smile: "Grandpa will make it for you tomorrow."

Xiao Shengli happily kissed his grandfather: "Grandpa, you are the best."

Father Li is like this, wishing to give the best to his eldest grandson, this small victory is the tip of his heart.

At this time, the curtain is gone.

There was a lot of noise around.

"Hey, it's gone again."

"It's like this every time it comes to a critical moment."

"Forget it, I'm going to pee..."

"Come smoke a cigarette..."

"You smoke mine, I'm a cigarette."

"Hey, I'd better smoke dry tobacco, it's strong."

·······
Open-air cinema, open-air feature.

Restricted by the old equipment, it usually takes 3-4 copies to complete a complete feature film. I often see that the plot needs to be changed, and there is a burst of sighing on the stage. The projectionist also feels the disappointment of the audience and dare not neglect it , messing around with each other, the film was connected, and everyone's emotions continued with the start of the drama.

Before the movie finished, suddenly, it began to drizzle.

At this time, someone covered the curtain and projection equipment with a felt cloth, and continued the projection.

But moviegoers suffered.

Li Haijun: "Sit down, my legs are fast, I'll go back and get an umbrella."

Within a few minutes, Li Haijun ran back and took all the umbrellas, coir raincoats, raincoats, and rain boots at home.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was intercepted,

"navy."

"you······"

This was a girl Li Haijun liked before he entered the city.

He had long forgotten about this person, but only when he saw this flowery face did he suddenly recall it.

"Navy, I heard you're back?"

Li Haijun nodded: "Yes."

"Navy, I'm divorced."

Li Haijun... What does your divorce have to do with me...
"I am married."

"I know. I saw it at the threshing floor. Which of those two girls is your wife?"

Li Haijun, can I say all of them?
"If you're okay, I'll go first, my wife and children are still waiting for me to bring you rain gear."

"Navy, we still..."

"Impossible!" Li Haijun replied without thinking.

In the past, you loved to answer and ignored me, but now you can't afford me.

What's more, compared with Liu Yatou and Ding Qiunan, you can't compare with them.

Besides, you're divorced, how can you be confident?

Good horses don't turn their backs, how can I, Li Haijun, eat other people's leftovers?
After a small episode.

When he ran back to the threshing ground, many fellow villagers, like him, went home to get rainproof tools.

Those who are far away can only hide under the trees or stand in the rain.

Fortunately, it was just a drizzle, and it didn't have much impact.

After Li's father put on the raincoat, Xiao Shengli hid in his arms, showing his little head, where he was having fun, and he didn't know what was fun, what was worth his joy.

Ding Qiunan hugged Li'er, fastened his raincoat too, and Li'er also exposed his little head, smiling happily with his brother.

Liu Yatou held Xiao Shengnan in her arms, and Xiao Shengnan hid in her mother's arms, protected from the wind and rain, and fell asleep soundly.

Li Haijun hugged the eldest girl, who wrapped her small arms around his neck.

Mother Ding was wearing a raincoat and an umbrella, mainly to keep out the wind.

Mother Ding sat on Liu Yatou's left, Ding Qiunan sat on the right, and two umbrellas were behind them, building a barrier to keep out the wind and rain.

The audience watching outdoor movies is most afraid that the weather will not be beautiful. The movie was supposed to be playing well, but it suddenly started to rain.

The people at the screening also panicked. At this time, a few tarpaulin umbrellas would appear in time to guard the projector.

The beam of light from the movie shines through the rain curtain and is projected on the wet curtain. Although the quality of the picture is compromised, enthusiastic people would rather be drowned and watch the movie in the rain to enjoy themselves.

When the villagers watch movies, they are not all in a satisfactory manner, and they often make troubles.

Because of the rain, some people tried to fish in troubled waters. If there were girls or daughter-in-laws in the audience, some guys couldn't hold back their enthusiasm. They took advantage of the special venue to push and boo.

During the turmoil, the projector was shaken, the screen was shaken, and some people were crying and shouting.

The projectionist was so anxious: "Comrades, don't squeeze, be quiet, be quiet!"

At this time, people who recovered from the plot collectively denounced this indecent behavior.

The young man who became a street mouse had no choice but to curb his profligacy under the anger of the public.As the plot progressed on the screen, the moviegoers had long forgotten about the little unpleasant episodes.

It's just that they don't know that their actions have been remembered by the production team leader.

When they go to work tomorrow, they will feel better. His misdeeds will be recorded in the production team leader's notebook.

The first film screening is over.

The second one has not yet been staged, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

The production leader had to stand up.

"Folks, it's raining heavily, why don't we forget about it today."

"No, we have to see, do you think so?"

Countless people responded: "Yes, we want to watch a movie..."

If you can't persuade, don't persuade.

The production team leader muttered: "Water these ignorant bastards to death, let's see how they catch a cold tomorrow."

Projectionist: "Hehe, the audience is so enthusiastic."

It's just that some of the journeys are far away, even if I feel reluctant to give up, I have to go back.

Otherwise, the road is too muddy.

The movie finally ended, and the people in the scene dispersed in all directions in an instant, and the disturbing things came back again.

People eager to take a shortcut to go home, the earing wheat was crushed by the torrent of people, and the vegetable fields under their feet were trampled indiscriminately.This angered the owners of the crops. They held wooden sticks and flashlights, and kept roaring like an angry lion: "Don't step on it! Don't step on it! You will pay me!" Under strict supervision, the well-behaved people soon left the village Return to silence.

"These bastards have ruined my vegetable field."

"Damn it, remember who stepped on it. Let's go door to door and sell all these vegetables to them, so they can step on my vegetable field."

Li Haijun's family also hugged their children and carried the bench, and went home with the flow of people.

A silver-white lightning flashed across the sky.

In an instant, the dark night was illuminated like day.

Father Li: "I'm afraid the rain today will be serious."

Li Haijun: "I can't go up the mountain tomorrow."

"However, rain also has its benefits. The fish and shrimp in the river are overflowing. The rain will stop tomorrow. Let's go fishing."

It doesn't matter to the children, as long as they have something to play with.

Even eagerly looking forward to it, it will be fun if it rains harder.

When I got home, I boiled a pot of hot water in a large iron pot.

Give the children a bath first, lest they catch a cold and have a fever.

And then adults.

Li Haijun lay on the kang with his arm pillowed.

Thinking back to watching a movie in the open air today, I feel emotional.

Today's open-air movies will almost disappear in the future, and slowly evolve into comfortable movie theaters.

Open-air movies in the 60s of May lasted until the 90s of August. Although it was cold to the bone, insect bites in summer, wind and rain hit the body, and it was difficult to stand still, people at that time valued spiritual enjoyment more.

People's emotions can interact, surrounded by starry sky, trees, and rivers, and the movie theater is integrated with heaven and earth, which is very romantic and happy!

All these have enriched the cultural life of the rural people, especially the rural young people nowadays, many of whom have acquired a heroic complex from film culture and established a positive outlook on life and values.

Only on this point can we be sure, the status and historical role of open-air movies.
