Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 44
A large open space, a very large open space, almost as big as two standard football fields, I don't know what it is usually used for, but now it is an open-air cinema.

The entire open space is almost square, and it feels quite upright, but I don’t know if it’s actually like this, but even if it’s a little crooked, it doesn’t affect everyone watching movies.

There are two high-speed iron poles erected on the west side of the site, just like the flagpoles in Gu Siwei's impression, each pole is about ten meters long by visual inspection.

At this moment, a movie screen is hung between the two poles. The white movie screen seems to be composed of several pieces of white strips. It is obvious that there are vertical seams on it. Around the screen, there are black On the side of the screen, a hole is drilled at every interval, and the fixed rope passes through the hole to firmly fix the whole screen on two poles.

The movie camera is very big. To be honest, it was the first time that Gu Siwei saw a real movie camera-a big box supported two huge film reels.

I thought it was quite novel, so I went up to take a look, but before he got close, the middle-aged man who played the movie shouted at Gu Siwei.

At this time, Gu Siwei was like a curious baby, looking around, feeling that everything was new. For him, it seemed that the scene of the movie was more interesting than the movie itself.

When it was completely dark, the movie officially started.

At this moment, the entire open space is full of people, and it is so dark that so many people have a feeling that silence is better than sound at this time. Even Gu Siwei, who is standing at the back, can clearly hear the loudspeaker in the front. Character dialogue.

Movies are not interesting to Gu Siwei. The previous war movies, and the characters with facial makeup, really don't suit the appetite of Gu Siwei, who came here decades later.

But Gu Siwei had to admit that the film was acting very seriously at this time, and every actor spoke very clearly, every word and every sentence, even if he didn't read the subtitles, he could listen to his heart.

It's not like when Gu Siwei came, a few of them couldn't even walk, they put on ancient costumes and looked like a group of groundhogs, performing on the screen the embarrassing embarrassment of fearing that others don't know what it means to be a monkey. The drama is really too strong.

It's okay to stand there, but Gu Siwei had to watch the movie. Who knew that after watching it like this, he watched it slowly, and finally developed into a pleasure to watch.

Waiting for the movie to finish, Gu Siwei reflected for a while, thinking that it might be because there were too few entertainment activities during this period, which made him feel that this kind of old movie is also interesting.

After watching the movie, everyone moved the small stools home, got together in twos and threes, and discussed the highlights of the movie enthusiastically.

Gu Siwei was thinking about finding a place to rest for the night, and went shopping when the store opened tomorrow before going home.

Since he was going to stay for one night, Gu Siwei followed the crowd and walked out, trying to look around as much as possible, so as not to meet the folks, or he would have to trouble himself to make up nonsense and make excuses.

Obviously, Gu Siwei thought too much, and he didn't meet the folks along the way.

The reason is also very simple. At this time, there were almost 2 people in the movie theater. Those in the six groups were all squatting in the front row, and the chance of meeting Gu Siwei who was standing in the back row was very small.

Finding a remote place, Gu Siwei looked around and saw that there was no one around, then lifted his feet and got into the space, planning to nest here until dawn tomorrow.

The plan was good, but soon Gu Siwei realized that he seemed to have chosen the wrong place, and a man and a woman came in after a while.

It's obviously a young couple in love, the man is entangled, and the woman is pushing and shivering, it's called a moji.

Originally, Gu Siwei thought that the two of them were going to be on fire, but it took a long time to realize that the man's request was just a kiss, so Gu Siwei almost jumped out and yelled at them to get the hell out.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't quarrel for long. In less than ten minutes, the two of them slipped out coyly.

Gu Siwei thought that there should be nothing wrong now, but within half an hour, another couple came in, still the same, which made Gu Siwei really want to jump out and scold them.

When the pair left, Gu Siwei couldn't take it anymore, so he moved directly to the small forest at the foot of the mountain, thinking that no one would come here now.

It really made Gu Siwei guess, no one came here now, and let Gu Siwei sleep peacefully.

Drilling out of the space, holding the meal ticket exchanged yesterday, Gu Siwei ran towards the store and started walking.

Not long after walking, when I was about to get on the main road, I heard someone's voice on the side of the road. I turned around and took a look, and found that there were actually people selling things, and there were quite a few people, about a dozen people, scattered in a row. scattered in a row.

The things they sell are all grown in the fields, such as potatoes, dried beans, and Chinese cabbage stored in winter. In addition, they also sell tofu.

What surprised Gu Siwei even more was that in the farthest corner, there was a middle-aged man in his forties squatting. He was not a rural person, and he was completely different from the one next to him selling vegetables and things.

The things that the man sells also arouse Gu Siwei's interest, because the man sells knives he made himself, a kitchen knife, and a hatchet. There are not many knives, that is, three. The knives are very thick. Rough looking but functional.

"Comrade, how do you sell this knife?" Gu Siwei walked over and squatted down, picked up the kitchen knife inside and looked at it.

Seeing Gu Siwei coming, the "three yuan and five one" man showed a little smile on his face, and he became more energetic. It seemed that he really wanted to make Gu Siwei's business.

"It's a bit expensive," Gu Siwei said.

In fact, the price is not expensive, but you always have to claim that it is expensive when you buy something, otherwise how can you bargain.

The man heard this and said: "It's not expensive at all. Don't look at the bright snowflakes on the knife in the store. It's actually not as good as my knife. My knife is made of bearing material. I don't know how much better than the kitchen knife in the store."

The man said it with confidence, Gu Siwei is engaged in machine tool processing, he can't tell the difference, this knife is very good, the steel material rammed by a mechanical hammer is much stronger than that of a blacksmith, although the edge of the knife It is not the clamp steel used, but it is probably much better than the clamp steel.

"How much is this knife in total? My money may not be very convenient, can you let me exchange it with other things?" Gu Siwei likes this kitchen knife very much, and also likes the remaining large and small hatchets.

Now Lao Gu's family lacks everything, so these things can be regarded as belongings, right?

"If you have food, then there's no problem. I'll take all the fifteen catties of food away, and I won't ask you for money." Seeing Gu Siwei's offer to exchange things, the man opened his mouth and said.

He said so, but the man was a little disappointed in his heart. Seeing that Gu Siwei was dressed well, he thought that his business was coming, but he didn't expect that Gu Siwei was just a good-looking guy, and he had no money to buy it.

"Come on, let's talk next to you."

Gu Siwei turned his head and saw that everyone in the circle was looking at the two of them, so he said to the man.

The man thought for a while, hesitated a little, but finally put away his things and followed Gu Siwei to the side.

Gu Siwei asked the man to talk, and finally the unit of weight was changed to the unit of volume, using a few scoops of wheat as the unit, and these tools were replaced.

Seeing that Gu Siwei really had food, the man was very satisfied. He took off his inner gown and touched it, tied up the two cuffs, filled the food in and put it around his waist.

"Brother, do you have any other needs? If you have any, tell me and I'll do it for you." When the man saw the food, Gu Siwei naturally became enthusiastic about it.

"Is it convenient for you to do it? Can you take it out of the factory when it's done?" Gu Siwei was a little curious, but he didn't think about where the things he sold came from if he couldn't take it out of the factory.

Seeing the things, Gu Siwei knew that these things must be made with factory machines. The hands of a man are not capable of making this thing. Let alone making it, it is impossible to melt this kind of steel. Ordinary soil It is impossible for the furnace to have such a high furnace temperature.

The man said: "Is it convenient or inconvenient? Just take it with you when you go to work, and it doesn't take up work time. I use some waste materials. As for how to get it out, it's hard to tell you."

"I really need some tools."

Gu Siwei felt that he was really lucky. When he met this man, he could make many things he wanted.

It's just that Gu Siwei doesn't know, it's not his luck, the workers in the factory will always sell something, and there are different men, which is actually the same as farmers secretly selling a la carte.

When life is difficult, someone will always find a way to subsidize life, whether it is a farmer or a worker.

Even if you don't meet this person, as long as Gu Siwei comes here often, you will meet someone else.

"I want a chisel, something deeper...".

Gu Siwei gestured while talking.

After hearing this, the man realized that Gu Siwei wanted a lot, so he took out a pen from his pocket, took out a small book on horse manure paper, and asked Gu Siwei to draw it.

Gu Siwei took the notebook and started drawing without saying a word.

"Have you worked on a machine tool before?" The man opened his mouth and asked when he saw what Gu Siwei had drawn.

The so-called experts can tell if there are any at a glance. When a man sees what Gu Siwei draws, he knows that the young man has skills in his hands, and he seems to be a person who can draw.

Gu Siwei smiled and said nothing, finished drawing the things in his hands, marked the approximate size and handed them over to the man.

"The handwriting is good, the drawing is also good, and it's almost as good as Master You in our workshop." The man took the notebook and said in admiration.

Gu Siwei laughed, but didn't say anything.

He was also forced to practice this skill. When he was working in a factory, he wanted to learn from his master. The first test given by the master was to draw three views.

In fact, no one was drawing by hand at that time, and Gu Siwei also knew that the master made things difficult for him and wanted him to quit.

But unlike others, Gu Siwei knows that learning the craft of a master is equivalent to serving a bowl for eating by himself. Otherwise, as a high school graduate, he would not be able to make screws on the production line for a lifetime.

So for more than half a year, Gu Siwei practiced whenever he had time, and finally passed the test. Only then did he have good calligraphy and the ability to draw simple three-dimensional views by hand.
