Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 197 Popcorn

"Brother, captain, tell me quickly, what's going on, why did those educated youths fight?" Xie Zhiying showed a gossiping expression.

"Isn't it because one of the male educated youths teased one and then the other, making the two female educated youths jealous of him, so they started fighting?"

"Is that the educated youth named Zhang Dongyan?" Xie Zhiyuan was the first to think of Zhang Dongyan because of what the team leader said.

"Who else is there besides him!" The captain said angrily.

"Why him? Big brother, tell me." Hearing this, Xie Zhiying became even more curious, pestering her big brother like a child.

Several people chatted for a while, satisfying Xie Zhiying's curiosity.

The team leader took the tea wrapped by Xie Zhiyuan and prepared to leave.

"I won't chat for a while, and I have to deal with the educated youth's affairs when I go back for a while, so let's stay a little longer!" Xie Zhiyuan asked to stay.

"No, I can't be idle. The elementary school in the village is on holiday. I went to have a look yesterday. The tables, chairs and benches in the elementary school are not stable, and there are several holes in many tables. There is nothing to do today. .

I happened to hide from those educated youths, so that they would come to me to make decisions on minor matters. No, I have all my tools with me. "

"Then let's go there together, let's work together, and besides, we can go over to give you a hand, hand you a tool or something."

"Row."

It took several people to beat and beat for a long time before they repaired those that could be repaired.

"Let the carpenter make two boards another day, and change the table top." Looking at the large and small holes on several tables, Xie Zhiyuan said.

"Well, it's time to change it. Several dolls in the village have complained to me. There is no way to write on these tables, and the notebooks are full of holes." The captain also nodded in agreement, anyway. It's not too much trouble.

When Xie Zhiyuan was about to go back, the team leader stopped him: "Zhiyuan, wait a minute."

"Captain, what else is there?"

"Zhiyuan, I heard from my grandson yesterday that the fried popcorn at the commune is about to go to the countryside. Will he come to our brigade this year?"

"This, I really don't know."

"Zhiyuan, I remember that you are acquainted with the popcorn blaster, can you tell him to come to our place again this year.

Of course, it won't make him suffer, and the reward that should be given will definitely not be less. "

"Captain, you have to ask Zhiying about this matter, Zhiying is more familiar with the person who exploded the popcorn."

"Zhiying, look..." The captain looked at Xie Zhiying eagerly.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask when he's free?" Xie Zhiying readily agreed, and then asked, "Do you want to show a movie this year in the village? I heard A buddy of mine said that if he wants to find someone to show a movie, he will have nothing to do the day after tomorrow, but if our village wants to show it, we can join a team for our village.”

"Okay, okay, what do the comrades from the commune need to prepare for the movie show, I will prepare it right away." Hearing Xie Zhiying's words, the team leader also opened his mouth, knowing that showing a movie at this time is not an easy task.

You have to go to the commune to apply, and you have to wait in line after you apply, so you don't know when it will be your turn.

Their village didn't have their turn last year, so they went all the way to a village 20 miles away to see it.

"Don't worry, the village will handle the matter of inviting the comrades who are playing the movie to dinner." The team leader reassured.

Xie Zhiying smiled and waved his hands: "Captain, it's not a big deal, it's about a meal, and besides, it's entertaining my friends."

After the discussion, the sharp-eyed Xie Zhiying saw several black shadows in the distance.

"Brother, brother, do you think the group of educated youths that came over there are the educated youths you mentioned?" Xie Zhiying had never met those educated youths, but he knew people in the village, and the few people who came here now were obviously not people in the village.

"Let me see, it's really them."

"It's broken!" The captain slapped his thigh, "It's broken, they must have something wrong again, and they came to me again to judge, didn't I tell them all, don't tell them I'm here, who is talking too much? Speak up."

After saying that, he gave Xie Zhiyuan the tools in his hand, "Please help me put the tools back, I have to run first, don't say you saw me."

After he finished speaking, he searched and there was no one in sight.

Xie Zhiying was taken aback by the team leader's performance, "Brother, what is this?"

"It's okay, the captain was scared, so we went back too." Xie Zhiyuan didn't want to meet the group of educated youths, and wanted to leave when he saw that the captain was gone.

But unexpectedly, the group of educated youths had already run over.

"Comrade, have you seen the captain?"

"Captain, someone asked him for something, and he has already left."

"Ah! We just found out that the captain was repairing things here, why did he leave, do you know where the captain went?"

"I don't know, someone came looking for him just now, and he left." Xie Zhiyuan said without changing his face.

"Really or not? How did I see that there were three of you here just now? The captain didn't just hide from us, did he? He saw us coming, so he hurried away." Zhang Dongyan didn't quite believe what the Xie brothers said. .

"Then I don't know. You have to ask the captain about this matter. We can't handle it. The work is done. We have to go home for dinner." After speaking, the two left straight away.

"Zhang Zhiqing, look at their attitude. We are also going to the countryside to support them." Xu Xiaoyu stomped her feet and said angrily.

"Don't be as knowledgeable as them, let's go to the captain's house to look for it." Zhang Dongyan looked at the backs of the two with a gloomy gaze, turned around and smiled to appease Xu Xiaoyu.

But all of this has nothing to do with the Xie family.

Within a few days, a man in his 40s was carrying a burden, and inside the burden was something that looked like a cannonball.

When he arrived, the man greeted Xie Zhiying and rejected the suggestion to go home for a drink first.

"Explode the popcorn first, the children are waiting impatiently, there is no rush to eat." The man put down the pick, put the stove on the ground, and got everything ready.

Hearing that the person who exploded the popcorn was coming, all men, women and children in the village ran home to get the popcorn.

And those smart children have been pestering their families to prepare corn kernels since they learned that people in the village will come to blow popcorn these two days.

No, as soon as the person came, he hurried back to get the prepared corn while everyone else was watching.
