Chapter 117 Meeting Qin Jingru on the Road

in the afternoon.

Jiang Pingan took the projection equipment and rode a bicycle to the Red Star Commune.

The scorching sun made the scalp burn, and the hot air was steaming on the ground, making the mouth dry and tongue dry.

Even the wind is hot.

Heizi ran behind, and Jiang Pingan was afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke, so he wanted to put him in the space.

Heizi knelt down and begged for mercy, he would rather endure hardships outside than stay bored in the space anymore.

"If you suffer from heat stroke, you will suffer!" Jiang Ping'an cursed softly, and continued to pedal.

Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw a girl in the shade of a big tree not far away, waving excitedly and shouting:

"Projectionist, projectionist and more!"

Jiang Pingan frowned, slowed down slowly, and stopped in front of the girl: "What's the matter?"

The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a duck-egg face, a watery appearance, withered hair, and a thin body, but she was also fat where she should be, with uneven curves.

She wore two ponytails, a white shirt, black trousers, and plastic sandals.

It looks a little rustic, but given the conditions of this era, even if it is placed in the city, this dress is not bad.

"Projectionist, are you going to our Red Star Commune to screen?" the girl blinked her big eyes and asked with a smile.

Jiang Pingan looked at her carefully, smiled, nodded gently and said:
"That's right, there will be three screenings in your commune, respectively in the first team, the fifth team and the twelfth team."

The girl smiled slightly, stared straight at him, blushed slightly, and muttered softly: "You are so handsome!"

"Huh?" Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the girl spoke directly.

"Tell me, why are you stopping me?"

The girl came back to her senses, looked away reluctantly, her face was blushing, looked sideways into the distance, clasped her hands in front of her body, pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"I'm from Qinjia Village of Hongxing Commune. Qinjia Village is a large team. My name is Qin Jingru."

"Well, Qin Jingru, I heard your cousin talk about you." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru are normally cousins, but their mothers are biological sisters.

So the two called each other according to their mother's side since they were young, so they became cousins.

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "You know my cousin?"

"Hey...it's pretty familiar." Jiang Pingan laughed, with a hint of aftertaste on his face.

After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, isn't this the Red Star Commune? Why did you come here?"

"I delivered a letter to my cousin's house early in the morning, so I'm going back now!" Qin Jingru pursed her lips and smiled.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and asked, "You stopped me, didn't you just want to play with me?"

Qin Jingru shook her head and smiled, "That's not true, I'm just happy to see the projectionist!"

"Okay, it's late, we'll talk about it at the commune." Jiang Ping'an nodded.

"It's a pity that I have a projection device in the back seat, otherwise I can take you for a ride."

Qin Jingru nodded and said with a smile: "Then you go first, I will be there in a while."

Jiang Pingan waved his hand and looked at her a few more times.

This girl is juicy and juicy, her face is young, but she is malnourished and not plump enough.

It would look great if I could make up my body and grow some flesh.

After pedaling away, Qin Jingru watched him disappear at the end of the road, holding his face in his hands and muttering to himself:

"I don't know if he is married? He is a projectionist in the city, has a city hukou, and is handsome."

"If I can marry him, I won't have to earn work points and do hard work every day."

Earning work points in the countryside, doing farm work, and repairing canals are really hard work, and you can’t eat enough or keep warm.

Ever since her cousin Qin Huairu married in the city, Qin Jingru made up her mind to marry in the city too.

……

Red Star Commune.

As soon as Jiang Ping'an arrived at the commune town, he was stopped by several clerks.

A large group of children greeted me happily.

"The projectionists have worked hard. Our commune, Ma Shushu and director Liu are waiting for you at the grain drying field."

A young boy said beamingly, and then led the way politely.

Someone took Jiang Pingan's bicycle and helped push it forward.

Jiang Ping'an was also polite and followed with empty hands.

"The projectionist is here! Let's watch the movie!"

The children cheered and surrounded him, all smiling.

Then there were more and more people, but most of them were children, women and the elderly, and everyone else went to earn work points.

The grain drying field of Hongxing Commune is very large, and three tractors are parked at the entrance, which is very eye-catching.

In comparison, the condition of the Red Star Commune is much better than that of the Dongjiazhuang Commune.

The main reason is that this side is all flat land, and it is easy to build ditches, weirs and ponds.

Half of Dongjiazhuang is mountainous, and the annual harvest is naturally not as good as that of Hongxing Commune.

And the Red Star Commune is not as good as the Nantai Commune next door, where there are also large farms and breeding farms.

"Crackling..."

Good guy, before people approached, someone lit firecrackers, gongs and drums blared, and warmly welcomed Jiang Ping'an's arrival.

"Oh!" The people around cheered loudly, like celebrating the New Year.

A group of cadres from the commune and the brigade were also very happy, and came forward to shake hands with Jiang Pingan one by one.

"Comrade projectionists have worked hard. It's too hot right now, so go take a rest first." Director Liu said with a smile.

"After the sun goes down, the weather will be cooler, and then we will set up the screening room."

Jiang Pingan smiled and nodded, "Listen to Director Liu."

After the welcome ceremony, Ma Shushu and Director Liu personally took Jiang Pingan to the captain's house to rest.

As soon as he sat down, Director Liu gave Jiang Pingan a pack of peony cigarettes and 30 yuan.

The smoke was for Jiang Ping'an, and the money was for the movie, and Jiang Ping'an wanted to bring it back to work.

Although the commune shows movies for free to the common people, it is not free from business to business.

Ten yuan per show, and 15 yuan will be charged for places far away, and two to three movies will be shown per show.

It is up to the projectionist to decide whether to show two or three films. Generally, there will be at least one new film that came out that year.

Of course, if the projectionist is offended, there is a possibility that only one movie will be screened, which is not uncommon.

"Comrade Ping An, don't feel shabby. When you leave, remember to take some souvenirs with you." Director Liu said.

After Jiang Pingan took the cigarettes and money, he smiled and said, "Director Liu, you are welcome."

Through talking, Jiang Ping'an learned that the captain of the first team was Qin Jingru's second uncle, Qin Fugui.

This is called Qinjia Village, and there are many people with the surname Qin.

The food is fragrant, and the smell of meat can be smelled in the air. It is obvious that there must be meat to eat at night.

After sitting and talking for a while, and drinking tea for a while, Ma Shushu and Director Liu left and came back in the evening.

As soon as the two left, Qin Jingru arrived sweating profusely, and was very happy to see Jiang Ping'an.

"You walk very fast!" Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

Qin Jingru wiped the sweat off her face, smiled and said:
"Walking and running, thinking about watching a movie, why don't you walk faster?"

"Sit down for a while, I'll go home and come over soon."

After saying that, she exchanged a few words with her second uncle's family, and went home in a hurry.

After she left, Qin Fugui asked curiously, "Comrade projectionist knows our Jingru?"

"Hehe, I didn't know him before." Jiang Pingan shook his head and said with a smile.

"But today, on the way, she stopped me and talked for a while, and then we got to know each other."
