Xinghua had just returned to Lijiagou, and as soon as she returned to her yard, she couldn't wait to mutter, "Brother! We're back!"

There are two men in the yard weaving bamboo baskets. It is the slack season. The men in the family have to find ways to do some work to subsidize the family. What's more, the three women in the family are very proud of themselves in the city recently. , as a man, he can't be greedy and playful, so as not to be looked down upon by his own wife.

Li Yuanfu buried his head, and his big rough hands were stroking the thin pieces of bamboo bit by bit, moving them back and forth non-stop, a half-formed bamboo basket gradually revealed its shape.

His dark and rough face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are always smiling. My mother-in-law recently took her daughter-in-law and youngest daughter to the city to earn money. Everyone is used to being sneering and sarcastic, but he doesn't care about those crazy words.Every night after Wu Juxiang came back, the two of them would chat about what happened in the city today under the covers. He had been busy for half his life, and the number of times he went to the city was very few, but he could always hear something new from his wife. Some horizons.

The happiest time for the two old couples was when Xinghua took the old book that they used to study and wrote down the daily turnover of the three of them, and Xinghua would also calculate the approximate salary alone. Being able to support the hard work every morning and evening, and the laughter and support of the family members are their comfort after hard work.

Hearing his sister's cry, Li Wen stopped the half-woven bamboo basket in his hand and looked outside, "Why is it so late today?"

He hurried into the main room and poured a large glass of water with a thermos. His wife, mother and sister came back from such a long journey, and they were very thirsty every time, so they were used to holding a large basin to dry some water at home. Boiling water, when people get home and then add hot water, the temperature is just right for the entrance.

Holding the bowl, she quickly handed it to her mother, Wu Juxiang took it naturally, she took a few sips before giving it to her daughter-in-law Chen Mei.

Xinghua didn't seem to be tired at all, she was chirping like a little sparrow, sitting on the pony ponytail, approaching Li Wen and Li Yuanfu, talking emotionally, gesticulating, "Father, brother! Let's Going to the movies tomorrow!"

"Movie? Is the commune going to show a movie?"

Li Wen frowned and thought about it. In the past two days, the village has not heard the news. Usually, when the movie is going to be shown, people in the commune spread the news several days in advance. Who can say a few words about the movie!
But he didn't hear anyone talking about it when he passed by the village these two days?

Chen Mei explained with a smile, and handed Xinghua a water bowl, "It's not in the commune, but in the city that a movie is going to be shown! Tomorrow, the little boss will organize us to watch it together!"

Xinghua quickly took the water bowl that Chen Mei handed over, and gulped down a big gulp. Because she drank in a hurry, the water leaked a lot along her lips, and fell to the ground drip-tock, making a puddle wet. .

"My mother and I often hang out near the movie theater. We have long heard that the most popular movie recently is "The Wrangler". This time, the Meat Factory will release this movie!"

Li Yuanfu had never heard of this, "What a shepherd, no one here raises sheep, you have to go to the prairie if you want to see sheep!"

"How expensive is that? We can't afford movie tickets, let alone train tickets to the prairie."

Leaning against Chen Mei, Li Wen jokingly said, "Hey, the apricot blossoms are incredible. If you go to the city for a few days, you even know how to take the train!"

Xinghua raised her neck and her eyes sparkled. This smug little look is so cute, "That's right, why don't both father and brother go tomorrow!"

She stood up, bouncing around, and looked at Wu Juxiang expectantly, "Mother, why don't we all go as a family? Father and brother are fine at home..."

"What are you talking about? Our family of 6, if we all go, sleep on the street or in the bridge hole?"

Wu Juxiang refused without even thinking about it. This time, the meat joint factory will play two movies in one go, and it will take several hours. You must consider a place to sleep. The little boss is already very good, let them live in the yard , He even explained that they will have dinner for them tonight!
How could she have the nerve to bring three more mouths to cause trouble for others?
Xinghua kicked the pebbles under her feet sullenly. How rare is it to watch a movie? I haven’t seen it in the village for several years. The last time I watched a movie was when I was in school, and the projectionist played it on the school playground. The whole commune came.

She is going to watch a movie with her mother and sister-in-law tomorrow, but her elder brother and father don't have to watch it. She always feels that something is missing in her heart, and she is bored.

"What are you all doing at the door?"

Li Zhu was returning home with a pole on his shoulders and two buckets full of water.There is no well in their yard, and all their drinking water depends on carrying water from the public well in the village. Although it takes a little effort, there are three men in the family!Not bad for this effort.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the whole family stuck in the yard, and he was still puzzled.

Quickly picked up all the water to the side of the water tank, poured all the water in the bucket, and heard Xinghua talking there.

"Brother, do you want to watch a movie?"

Li Zhu was taken aback, movie?Yuan Xiaoyu's cute and fair face gradually appeared in his mind. How many years ago was the last time he watched a movie?Three or four years?At that time, they were still studying in school. He, Xinghua, and Yuan Xiaoyu were sitting next to each other. They shared a handful of fried beans, and they even made noises when they encountered wonderful plots.

However, now...

He looked lonely for a moment, and asked in a blunt voice, "What's wrong?"

Li Wen took up the conversation, "It is said that the meat joint factory in the city is going to show a movie, and they are clamoring to watch it!"

"Is this a good thing? I heard that watching movies in those factories is free, but will they let people from outside the factory go in?"

Wu Juxiang sighed and said, "Xiaoyu said that we can go in, and she knows the leaders of the factory, so she will definitely let us in."

"Oh... Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu is so capable now? I already know the big leader..."

Xinghua smiled happily, "Of course! Xiaoyu can make us a lot of money, she must be capable!"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Wu Juxiang pitifully, "Mother, is it true that both our father and elder brother can't go?"

Li Wen whispered to his daughter-in-law Chen Mei, and yearned for it in his heart. He hadn't been to the city for several years, and recently he was always listening to Chen Mei talking about things in the city, and he was very itchy.

"Mom, let's not go to the movies, it's okay to go to the city to see how you do business every day, to accompany you, and to increase your knowledge..."

No one noticed Li Zhu's pale face and lost eyes, they were just discussing whether to go to the movies, but Li Zhu leaned against the courtyard wall, looking in the direction of BJ City, his body suddenly turned cold.
