The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 350 Watching Movies

Xu Damao returned to the house.

Liu Lan found purple potion and helped him apply it on his face.

"Jia Dongxu, this thief, is very ruthless."

Maybe it was Liu Lan's intention. The cotton swab pricked the bruise hard, and Xu Damao couldn't help but gasped: "Ouch, please be gentle."

"Now you know it hurts. Why didn't you know when you stole someone's pants?" Liu Lan said angrily.

Xu Damao looked aggrieved: "Daughter-in-law, I really didn't steal it.

You still don’t know that I have been honest since I got married. "

Xu Damao is honest? Liu Lan definitely didn't believe it.

But when he was caught stealing underwear, Xu Damao was really not that stupid.

After Liu Lan married Xu Damao, although she often quarreled and lived an unharmonious life, her children at least had a home.

She also didn't want Xu Damao to be imprisoned.

Life, everything goes as planned.

Liu Lan, a little widow who has experienced many hardships in the world, has long understood this truth.

That's why he took the initiative to help Xu Damao.

"Thanks to Driver Li this time, otherwise Yi Zhonghai would have sent you into the fence." Liu Lan thought of Yi Zhonghai's face at that time, and felt frightened.

A steward of a courtyard should be kind and kind.

Yi Zhonghai looked like a man-eating wild wolf at that time.

"Patriotic brothers really saved my life"

Xu Damao covered his aching chest, feeling that Li Aiguo kicked him intentionally, but there was no evidence.

You can't blame others now, but you have to praise them.
  Xu Damao felt a little aggrieved.

"No, we have to thank them for helping us so much." Liu Lan put down the purple potion and squatted in front of the cabinet to work.

Pecans, red dates, teal duck eggs, and mushrooms were all shaken out by Xu Damao.

Xu Damao felt a little distressed when he saw it: "Daughter-in-law, can't we survive?"

"You're stupid. We have a meeting tonight. Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family will definitely not let you go. We have to ask Driver Li for advice."

Liu Lan wanted to take this opportunity to return the favor from last time.

"Yes, yes, that patriot is really good." Xu Damao nodded hurriedly.

Li Aiguo returned home carrying the slaughtered rabbit.

Seeing the table full of gifts, I felt a little dazed for a moment.

With so many mountain goods, even if they are sent to the countryside as betrothal gifts, they can marry a yellow-flowered girl.

Liu Lan was chatting eagerly with Chen Xueru. She stood up and said with a smile: "Driver Li, thank you for this. If it weren't for you, Damao and I would be in trouble."

It was because of this.

Yes, our train driver is not the kind of person to be coy.

Li Aiguo accepted the gift at that time, except for the half bag of red dates.

He always felt that the Xu family's red dates came from something wrong.

After giving the gift, Liu Lan sat at home and lingered, dragging Chen Xueru to talk about everything from sewing clothes to having children.

Chen Xueru also saw at this moment that something was wrong with Liu Lan.

"From the Damao family, if you have something to say, just tell me. Aiguo and I are both straight people." Chen Xueru was still thinking about learning cultural knowledge from Li Aiguo, and was a little anxious.

Liu Lan said with some embarrassment: "It's still about the meeting at night. This time my family Damao got into trouble. Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family will definitely not let him go."

"So I want to ask Driver Li for an idea."

Li Aiguo was going to watch a movie in the evening and didn't want to get involved in the conference. He thought for a moment and said, "Is Xu Jixiang still in his hometown?"

"Ever since Damao and I got married, he has returned to Changping." Liu Lan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, how could I forget about the old man?"

After saying thank you, Liu Lan hurriedly ran out.

Xu Jixiang is an impeccable person, but his scheming is not inferior to that of Yi Zhonghai.

The reason why Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's marriage broke up was God's will and beyond human control.

The fault is not with Xu Jixiang.

This time Xu Jixiang comes back for a meeting, and the scene will definitely be exciting.

"Who is Xu Jixiang?" Chen Xueru was a little curious.

"It doesn't matter to us, hurry up and prepare dinner." Li Aiguo put on his apron and carried the rabbit into the kitchen.

After half an hour.

The room was filled with aroma. He Yuyu hugged a rabbit head and chewed it with relish. His mouth and face were stained with oil.

After Chen Xueru finished chewing a rabbit leg, she picked up a piece of rabbit meat, sucking on the spicy food while praising: "It's so delicious."

Li Aiguo looked at the lonely bones in front of him and was speechless.

Silence is the main theme at this time.

After dinner.

Li Aiguo is not going to attend the courtyard meeting in the evening.

I happened to hear that a movie called "A Fairy Match" was recently released at Jiaodaokou Cinema, so I planned to take Miss Chen to watch the movie.

"The Match" is not well-known in later generations, but it is the last myth-cum-drama film.

In a few years, we won’t be able to make movies like this. Even if they’ve already been made, they won’t be allowed to be released.

Now that you have the opportunity to watch it, you can’t miss it.

Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru met through the old blind date method.
  The two got along for a while before they got married, but at that time, Miss Chen was just shy and only visited a stranger's park twice.

It should also be made up after marriage.

What does this belong to?
  Get married first, fall in love later.

When Miss Chen heard that she was going to watch a movie, she was naturally so happy that she rushed into the kitchen and cleaned up the pots and pans.

Then he went into the back room and put on a set of bright red clothes with diagonal stripes.

It wasn't over yet. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and started combing her hair. She opened the cap of the cream, took some out and gently rubbed it on her face.

Who says women in this era don't dress up?
  Li Aiguo squatted in the autumn wind at the door, holding his arms in his arms and smoking.

It feels like I have returned to my previous life.

In the past, there were no entertainment venues around Beixinqiao.

In order to enrich the entertainment life of the masses, in [-], the club exclusively for capitalists was transformed into Jiaodaokou Cinema.

Because of the new projection equipment and large scale, the cinema soon became a place for young men and women to have sex after it was built.

These young people, who were strangers than strangers on the street in broad daylight, were walking side by side to the cinema, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten dog food.

"Take me."

"what?"

"Look at me." Miss Chen pointed at the two dogs and men in front of them who were almost conjoined, and said angrily.

Women are indeed good at jealousy.

Li Aiguo's face has been roasted by the furnace in the driver's building for a long time. How can we be afraid of this?
  He took Miss Chen's arm generously, slid his palms along the hem of her clothes, and patted her butt.

Miss Chen, who was so aggressive just now, instantly turned into a quail.

"Don't be seen." She bit her lip, her voice trembling.

"It's so late at night, who can see it? Besides, I have the marriage certificate on me today."

"." Miss Chen felt that she should not provoke rough men.

Unfortunately it was too late.

Is Li Aiguo the kind of person who just accepts a good deal?

In the dark night, Miss Chen's heart was beating fast. For the first time in her life, she felt that it was difficult to move even an inch.

Li Aiguo walked to the ticket booth with Xiao Chen on his arm and bought two first-class movie tickets on the second floor.

There are two types of movie tickets, first-class tickets cost [-] cents, and second-class tickets cost [-] cents.

The price seems not expensive, but it is not cheap.

You must know that stick noodles only cost [-] pounds these days.

That is, only these bad men and women are willing to spend so much money.

Damn hormones!

After taking the pink paper ticket, I entered the entrance of the cinema and needed to check the ticket.

The lady who checked the tickets stood guard at the door with a flashlight, checking one by one, and from time to time she could catch people who were cheating.

"Hey, hey, you're going too far. Others draw a movie ticket, but you're better off just using menstrual stamps to fool me. Do you think I'm too old to use this thing?!"

The aunt was very tough. She grabbed the boy's collar and took him out of the team.

He was handed over to the on-duty officer standing nearby. After being criticized and educated, the unit was notified to pick him up.

Chen Xueru also gets a menstrual ticket every month. Don't tell me, it's also a pink note, similar to a movie ticket. If you are a gay man, you may not notice it.

This guy is quite a thief.

Li Aiguo turned around and looked around. When he recognized the boy clearly, his eyes widened: "Zhang Erpao?"

Zhang Erpao, who was standing nearby and pursed his nose, looked over at the sound and quickly lowered his head when he saw it was Li Aiguo.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, he could only raise his head and smile awkwardly: "Brother Patriot, sister-in-law, you guys should come and watch a movie too."

"Hey, you kid doesn't learn well."

Li Aiguo walked over, first scolded Zhang Erpao, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the fat lady and the comrades on duty.

"This boy is a distant relative of mine. He has lost his parents since he was a child. He makes a living by picking up scraps. He grows wild and has no one to teach him."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him after bringing him back."

Fare evasion is a trivial matter, and besides, this guy is just a trash collector. Who can really argue with him?

"Comrade, movie tickets are valuable national property. Fare evasion is equivalent to stealing state property. Don't be careless." The attendant gave Zhang Erpao a lesson and handed him over to Li Aiguo: "When you go back, you must He strengthens ideological education.”

"You, just put your heart back in your stomach." Li Aiguo thanked the attendant.

He carried Zhang Erpao aside.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Patriot, it's not my fault." Zhang Erpao said a little depressed: "I want to watch a movie, so go to the counter and ask Brother Da Kui to pay some money. Brother Da Kui said that there is no way to save the money to help me find a wife. I just made counterfeit bills."

Wang Dakui is indeed stingy.

Even though he now earns fifty or sixty yuan a month, he still can't bear to change the shabby coat he has worn for so many years.

The question is to get a wife.

As for Zhang Erpao, although he has a salary, he does not pay it every month. He only manages food and shelter. Li Aiguo could understand Zhang Erpao's approach, but he could not understand his IQ.

"Why don't you draw one with a pen?"

"I don't know the characters." Zhang Erpao scratched his head.

Li Aiguo: "."

He took a deep breath and said, "Where did the menstrual stamps come from? Did you steal them?"

"No, absolutely not. I picked it up at a scrap point." Seeing that Li Aiguo was angry, Zhang Erpao quickly explained.

After hearing this, Li Aiguo burst into laughter.

These days, tickets are very valuable, and even if you don’t need them at home, you can still get them at the pigeon market.

Except for menstrual stamps.

Every gay woman has one of these. Even if I give you two, you won’t be able to use them.

In addition, some female comrades can no longer use it and can still receive menstrual stamps at the street office every month.

This thing is just a small piece of paper. It is not qualified as scratch paper or cleaning paper, so it is sold as scrap.

"Okay, you want to watch a movie, right? Let me treat you!" Li Aiguo rubbed Zhang Erpao's head and took him to the ticket office to buy another ticket.

"Brother, you are my biological brother." Zhang Erpao was holding the real movie ticket and almost burst into tears. "I have never seen a movie in my whole life."

"How old are you for your whole life? Okay, it's about to start, so hurry in."

Li Aiguo walked to the cinema with Chen Xueru on his arm.

Zhang Erpao's voice came from behind: "Brother, why aren't my seats with yours?"

Li Aiguo: "."

He somewhat understood Wang Dakui's approach.

This kid's brain really isn't strong enough.

Because I was delayed outside the cinema for a while, I walked up the stairs to the second floor. The rows of long chairs were already filled with people.

"Borrow me, borrow me, borrow me." Li Aiguo found his seat and sat down against other people's knees.

Before the movie started, a staff member wearing a red sleeve band held a loudspeaker and explained the precautions: "Don't make loud noises, don't urinate in public, and don't engage in unhealthy practices."

The first two items are understandable, but what does it mean to engage in unhealthy practices?
  In other words, unhealthy tendencies can occur here.

There is a strange phenomenon in society. If something is expressly prohibited, it means someone must have done it.

Li Aiguo rolled his eyes and said to Chen Xueru, "Sit down for a while."

"Oh, it's about to start."

Just when Chen Xueru was about to stop him, Li Aiguo had already stood up and rubbed someone else's knee to go out.

Chen Xueru put the canvas bag on the chair and occupied the position to prevent some unsightly people from coming over.

Li Aiguo went down to the second floor and walked out of the cinema. He said hello to the fat lady who was the ticket collector. He went to the grocery store across the street and bought two kilograms of fried peanuts.

Put the fried peanuts in the newspaper, hold them in your arms, and return to the cinema.

At this time, the movie is about to start.

The lights go out.

‘biu’, a beam of light was projected from the window of the screening room on the second floor, hitting the gray curtain, emitting a white light.

Chen Xueru was waiting anxiously in her seat. She looked up from time to time, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Aiguo's figure.

"Hurry up, Brother Patriot, it's about to start."

"Borrow it, borrow it." Li Aiguo looked at the young people with blank eyes, returned to his seat, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the newspaper and put it in Chen Xueru's hand.

"You just want to buy fried peanuts"

Chen Xueru clutched the peanut, feeling sweet in her heart. This rough guy looked a little rough, but he was quite considerate at heart.

At this time, the red-sleeved man also left, and the movie officially started.

Tian Xian Pei tells the story of an honest man winning Bai Fumei.

In order to bury his dead father, Dong Yong, a poor young man, was willing to sell himself as a servant to raise burial funds. It actually attracted the attention of the seven fairies.

A seemingly unexpected encounter led to a legendary marriage that has impacted today. Men farm and women weave, husbands sing and women follow, which makes the world envious.

Of course, the focus of the movie is not on the love story. For a long time, it tells the story of Dong Yong and the seven fairies fighting against the heaven.

This symbolizes the working people's pursuit of a happy life and their struggle against the feudal system.

Teacher Yan Fengying is worthy of being a Huangmei Opera performing artist. Her singing voice is bright, sweet, euphemistic and full of charm.
  It’s just that Li Aiguo doesn’t understand this stuff.

Of course, when you come to the cinema at night, who comes to watch a movie?
  No, as soon as the movie started, there were buzzing sounds all around.

The young man and woman in the front row couldn't wait to bite each other, they were so embarrassed.

Only then did Chen Xueru realize the reason why Li Aiguo paid a high price for tickets to the second floor.

This rough man is so bad.

Before I could even think about it, I put my little hand into the paper bag to grab the peanuts, and was gently caught by the big rough hands.

"No, there are people here"

Chen Xueru wanted to take back her hand, but Li Aiguo took advantage of the situation. She was caught off guard and fell onto Li Aiguo, as if she had pounced on him.

The young man behind him was wearing a fitter's uniform. He spent a lot of effort but failed to coax his partner. He was stunned at this moment.

Is that okay?

Chen Xueru was lying in Li Aiguo's arms. She felt something lumpy under her buttocks. She realized something was wrong and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

She struggled to stand up, but it was too late. The rough man's arm had already taken advantage of it to wrap around her slender waist.

His movements are natural and his posture is graceful, giving him the aura of an experienced driver.

In the dark cinema, Chen Xueru felt her heart pounding. She wanted to push the rough man away, but she didn't have any strength in her body.

She just leaned on the rough man's chest gently and let him do whatever he wanted.

"Hey, buddy, can you borrow a handful of peanuts? I'll give you a soda in exchange for yours." The little fitter behind him didn't get the object for a long time. He was a little anxious and came over quietly.

Seeing that she had attracted other people's attention, Chen Xueru turned red with embarrassment and pushed her little head hard towards Li Aiguo's chest.

Li Aiguo generously grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed them to the young fitter, and also sent his blessing: "Come on."

"Thank you, brother. You are a good man."

The little fitter took the peanuts and went back, sat back down, and spread the peanuts on his crotch.

"Xiao Li, eat peanuts."

Xiaoli was wearing coal factory work clothes and weighed about [-] kilograms. She turned around and smiled at the young man, then grabbed him.

"Hey!"

The young man originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and grab the opponent's little hand, like the train driver in front, and enjoy the blessing of everyone.

It's just that those small hands are almost like iron pliers.

Not only was the peanut taken away, but he was almost beaten to death. The pain caused him to bend over and tremble while holding on to the chair, which attracted blank stares from the people around him.

Li Aiguo withdrew his gaze and shook his head helplessly.

This product obviously lacks the unique grace of some veteran drivers.

During the subsequent process, Chen Xueru stared at the movie screen, with the squeaking tunes ringing in her ears, but she forgot what was being performed in the movie.

On the other hand, Li Aiguo was able to do two things at once, and enjoyed watching them with great interest.

These seven fairies are really capable. They can weave ten pieces of brocade in one night. Comrade Xiao Chen must continue to work hard.

pat!

The big screen went off and the lights on the ceiling came on.

The old man with the red sleeve band is like the money laundering note in later Hong Kong movies. He always appears in time after the crime occurs.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Pay attention to the construction of spiritual civilization!"

The men and women who were gathered together separated one after another.

Chen Xueru also hurriedly returned to her seat, rolled her cute eyes at Li Aiguo, and straightened her messy hair.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go home." Li Aiguo stood up and took Chen Xueru's little hand, and left the cinema in a swaggering manner.

The little fitter was finally able to stand up at this time. Hearing this sentence, he felt as if he had been fooled.

They turned out to be a couple.
  The autumn breeze at night is cool and quiet.

Chen Xueru hugged Li Aiguo's arm and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

Thinking of what happened just now, I felt shy but also a little sweet.

This rough guy is so good at it.

Li Aiguo gently held her waist and walked forward steadily and firmly. The front was full of darkness but also light.

The dim yellow street lamps emit old light, which falls on the two people. Combined with the low and cramped houses on both sides, it forms a beautiful photo with a sense of vicissitudes of time.

The night was getting darker.

By the time we returned to the courtyard, it was almost [-]:[-] pm.

The courtyard that should have been bustling with activity was now bustling with activity.

Under the dim light, the place was crowded with people.

Li Aiguo walked to the middle courtyard and couldn't help pinching his eyebrows: "It's so late, the conference is not over yet?"

"Here, here, patriotic brother, sister-in-law, I have a good seat for you!" He Yuyu stood up from the front row and waved this way.

Li Aiguo took Chen Xueru's hand and walked over.
  Aunt Liu was also sitting there, taking out the fried pumpkin seeds from the newspaper and stuffing them into the two of them.

"Yu Yu bought a big pumpkin at the vegetable market. I thought it would be a pity to throw away the old seeds inside, so I dried it in the pot and kneaded it. It tasted pretty good."

Sautéed pumpkin seeds? Isn’t this the premium store of later generations?
  Li Aiguo reached out, grabbed some, put it in his hand, and squeezed some himself.

Click.

It tastes really good and leaves a mouth-filling aroma.

Knocking on pumpkin seeds, I asked He Yuyu why.

After listening to this, I couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and I admired Xu Damao's rogue energy.

Xu Damao was beaten because he was afraid that he might get tetanus from being blown by the wind (Tetanus usually has nothing to do with wind in the wound, but the word "wind" is in the name. In addition, medical common sense is not widely spread, so people have this misunderstanding.)
  Liu Lan could only go to his hometown in Changping to ask for Xu Jixiang.

Changping is eighty miles away from the capital. If you ride a bicycle, even if you pedal your feet into a hot wheel, it will take half a day.

It takes most of a day to go back and forth.

So at night, Liu Lan did not bring Xu Jixiang back.

The conference was about to be held. Xu Damao felt that he had no chance of winning, so he could only lie in bed and pretend to be dead.

Sometimes he complained that his nose hurt, and sometimes he complained that he had a headache. He kept cursing Jia Dongxu for being cruel.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Xu Damao was stalling for time, but he had no choice but to carry the person out.

"Xu Jixiang has just arrived. We will discuss things in Xu's house now! The meeting is about to start." He Yuyu ate melon seeds with a look on his face.
