Chapter 122 Pure Natural Mosquito Coil

A movie is over.

Jiang Ping stepped forward to change the film reel, and said through the microphone:

"Take a break for 15 minutes, if it's convenient, go quickly."

The crowd suddenly surged and spread in all directions.

At night, it is impossible to expect everyone to go to the toilet for convenience.

Women are more particular, they will go to the toilet, while men hide in the dark, and come wherever it is convenient.

"Ping'an's explanation is good, and I was very inspired after listening to your explanation!"

Ma Shushu got up and stretched his muscles, and said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan quickly changed the film, then took out the cigarettes, paid respects to the leaders one by one, and said with a smile:

"Ma's book has won the prize, and I just followed the script, and there are still many places that I don't know enough."

Ma Shushu smiled, pulled Jiang Pingan aside, and discussed in a low voice:
"The ninth day of next month is my mother's [-]th birthday. I would like to ask you to play a movie. Are you free?"

Jiang Pingan thought for a while, pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"If the superior doesn't temporarily arrange the screening task, the ninth day of next month will just be off."

Ma Shushu smiled and said: "Then please, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, I understand the rules."

"Ma Shu is being polite, I will definitely pick two good films to bring over." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and soon, the fifteen-minute break came.

Jiang Pingan didn't care whether all the people who went to the convenience came back, and the screening would start as soon as the time came.

"The second movie shown today is called Sanjie Liu."

"It mainly tells the story of Liu Sanjie rebelling against the rich man Mo Huairen with folk songs."

"..."

Once this film was released, it aroused enthusiastic praise from the audience and was loved by the broad masses of the people.

The cadres of the Red Star Commune also knew that this film was very popular this year, so they named it to be released.

As the plot unfolds, the folks make gags, laugh and curse, all in it.

Everyone was laughing up and down, or gnashing their teeth with hatred, or gearing up in a hurry, or complaining for a long time.

Watching open-air movies these days, the picture is the atmosphere, people whispering, yelling, and enjoying themselves.

"This movie is right, especially the folk songs are good!" Director Liu said to Jiang Ping'an with a smile.

Then he asked curiously: "Do people in Guangxi Province like to sing?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "I heard that there are many people who can sing, and they like to hum a few words when they have nothing to do. It's a local characteristic."

"However, the singing methods are different in different places. There are colorful tunes, folk songs in duet, and mutual attacks."

After chatting a few words, continue watching the movie.

By the time Sanjie Liu finished playing, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.

Following Ma Shushu's instructions, Jiang Pingan played another war movie after a 15-minute break.

Although it is an old movie, people have seen it, but they all watch it with gusto.

They cheered loudly when they encountered happy and exciting scenes, and cursed loudly when they encountered angry scenes.

When the last movie is over, everyone is content.

People left in an orderly manner.

The grain drying ground was noisy again, some were discussing the plot, some were greeting children, some were looking for relatives, and some were saying goodbye to acquaintances loudly.

People left in groups with flashlights, lanterns or torches.

However, most people can't use flashlights when walking at night, but use torches and horse lanterns.

Torches include sunflower stalks, bundled with bamboo strips, and kerosene torches in bamboo tubes.

It is to use a bamboo tube to hold kerosene, and put a ball of cotton in the mouth of the bamboo tube to light it.

However, kerosene is expensive in this era, and it is generally not used unless it is a particularly urgent night. It is too extravagant.

There are not many lanterns for each production team, five or six lanterns are considered too many.

It is easy to use, it has a glass cover to prevent wind, and it can be carried around.

Jiang Ping'an sent the leaders away first, and then took a few boys from the production team to tidy up the projection equipment.

It's easy to talk about other things, but the projector is not allowed to be touched by others, so Jiang Ping'an can only make it himself.

Before Ernier left, she came over with her man again and reminded Jiang Ping'an to visit her house tomorrow.

Jiang Ping'an fully agreed that Zuo Zuo would go to the fifth team to screen tomorrow afternoon, so he still had time.

There were people holding torches around, and Qin Fugui led a few people to remove the screen in front.

Jiang Ping'an also took out his flashlight to illuminate, and Qin Jingru also came to help after going to the bathroom.

Not only did she come, but also many girls from Qinjia Village gathered around to watch the excitement.

There are not many things, and they want to help, but they don't know where to start, so they can only chat and play around.

While putting away the machine, Jiang Ping'an looked at the girls a few times. Not to mention, there are quite a few beautiful girls in Qinjia Village.

But he didn't dare to get involved. Once these girls got involved, it would be a big trouble.

Jiang Ping'an now, to a country girl, is a piece of delicious Tang monk meat, and everyone wants to have a bite.

But Qin Jingru, this girl can't hide what's on her mind.

Pouting, staring, looking at those girls very unhappy, but helpless.

Soon, the equipment was collected, and Jiang Ping'an took it to the back seat of the bicycle and tied it up.

Arrangements were made in the afternoon, and Jiang Ping'an stayed overnight at Qin Fugui's house in the evening.

The girls and boys all dispersed, Qin Fugui took Jiang Ping'an home, and Qin Jingru followed.

No one said anything, because Qin Jingru's house was next to Qin Fugui's.

"It's too hot in the house at night, so I'm sleeping in the courtyard, are you used to it?" Qin Fugui asked with a smile.

He knew that Jiang Ping'an was from the country, but he should be polite.

Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "Why aren't you used to it? Uncle Fugui, don't be so polite, I don't pay much attention."

"By the way, when I was chatting with Jingru earlier, I heard she said that you have bees here?"

"I have raised a lot. When you leave tomorrow, I will give you a few jars of honey." Qin Fugui nodded and smiled.

Jiang Pingan shook his head and said, "I don't want honey, but I want to pay for a few boxes of bees to take away."

"What money do you want? Just pick a few boxes and take it away." Qin Fugui waved his hands generously.

Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "That won't work. Uncle Fu Gui wants me to make a mistake? I have to do it as I should."

Qin Fugui pushed it a few times, seeing that his attitude was firm, he no longer forced it.

After arriving, Qin Jingru went back to her home. Before leaving, she whispered a few words to Jiang Ping'an.

Qin Fugui's family had already built beds in the courtyard dam and boiled bath water.

The night wind blows, very refreshing, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Jiang Pingan pushed the bicycle into the house to put it away, and saw Qin Fugui bring out a basin from the house.

There is half a pot of herbal medicine in the pot, which is a mixture of realgar, mugwort and wormwood.

After being lit, mosquitoes can be fumigated away, which is equivalent to the mosquito coils of later generations.

Although the smell is a bit strange, it is better than green and natural.

With this thing, I can sleep soundly at night, otherwise I will wake up in the morning with pimples on my face and body.

Jiang Pingan took the clothes from the luggage, and after taking a shower, he felt relaxed all over his body.

When he came out of the room, Qin Fugui's eldest daughter-in-law rushed to take Jiang Pingan's clothes to wash.

This made Jiang Ping'an very embarrassed. The shirt and trousers are nothing, the key is...
