The world of film and television started from optical film

It was still early, but the sound of firecrackers was already roaring overwhelmingly.

There is a custom in Wang Zhong's hometown that the New Year's Eve dinner is earlier than the breakfast on the first day of the new year. It is said that the earlier the meal is, the better the next year will be.

Let’s not talk about the effect yet, but this custom has been passed down for thousands of years.

"Quickly, move the Hongtianlei out, and don't forget the firecrackers!" The uncle stood in the main room, and Wang Zhong naturally became the one being directed.

The uncle has no sons, only two daughters. One is married to Hangzhou and only comes back once a year. In the first two years, he could come back to live for more than half a month every year. But now that he has raised the second son and has two children by himself, what's the matter? Coming back became a big problem.

The second son-in-law is also from a rural background and his family's financial situation is average. The second daughter now has to take care of the children and is unable to find a job. The family of four depends entirely on the second son-in-law for food, drink and daily necessities, and there is no free time throughout the year.

The eldest daughter has been married for two years and has a daughter. Naturally, she doesn't want to go home to avoid any objections from her husband's family.

The only people the uncle could control were Wang Zhong and his uncle's cousin.

"Xiaoyu, go code Hong Tianlei and remember to take out all the leads." Wang Zhong casually directed his cousin to come.

The two brothers, one carrying several trays of five thousand firecrackers and the other holding two boxes of thunderbolts, ran left and right after leaving the main room.

Cousin Wang Ning stood by the door, her face full of eagerness to try. If she hadn't been held by her aunt, she would have rushed to help her brothers.

After a while, the two of them lit the fuse at the same time. The sound of firecrackers crackled like a storm, and the sound was deafening. The kid Wang Ning, who looked eager to try just now, had shrunk back and raised his little hands to block himself. She raised her ears and frowned, obviously the sound of firecrackers at such a close distance frightened her far more than she was surprised.

"It's time to eat!" Uncle gave the order, and everyone hurried into the room and gathered around the dining table.

As soon as the uncle moved his chopsticks, his uncle and his grandmother couldn't wait to put a chicken drumstick into the bowls of Wang Ning and his cousin. In Wang Zhong's memory, his uncle and his uncle had never eaten chicken drumsticks. When he was a child, it was him, and then his cousin. Brother, now here comes my cousin Wang Ning.

Although he now has a golden finger that can travel through all the worlds, and is lucky enough to see countless outstanding people and wonderful things, Wang Zhong cherishes the time he spends with his family even more.

My uncle and his grandmother were used to eating Wang Zhong's meals at home, but the uncle's family was not so lucky.

The chicken raised by my uncle and grandma was stewed with mushrooms. The soup was rich and fragrant. The fat but not greasy pork belly with dried plums, stir-fried mutton with green onions, braised fish, and a radish stew were served alongside a bowl of Wang Zhong’s special dish. As a dipping sauce, the radish filled with broth tastes better than meat and is also my uncle's favorite.

Next to it are a plate of dumplings stuffed with beef and scallions, a plate of fried peanuts, and a bowl of fried wild bees with chili peppers. They are standard accompaniments to wine and my uncle’s favorite.

"Come! Let's have a drink!" The uncle raised his glass and signaled to Wang Zhong. Naturally, there are not as many rules at the dinner table as drinking with outsiders. There is no need to compete with who can raise the glass lower or who can speak. The uncle opened his mouth and Wang Zhong raised his glass. Drink it all in one gulp, that's all.

"Drink slowly!" Upon seeing this, my uncle and grandma who were sitting on the main seat hurriedly reminded him, for fear that Wang Zhong would drink too hastily.

But my uncle smiled and said, "It's okay for those celebrating the New Year to drink too much. Let them go."

My uncle used to be very arrogant at the wine table, but as he got older, his internal organs deteriorated, and he gave up drinking under the supervision of his children and grandchildren a few years ago.

"Uncle and grandma, don't worry, I can drink well!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

My aunt and uncle were relieved when they saw that Wang Zhong's expression remained as usual, without any change.

The uncle next to him didn't drink. He took a sip of the drink and asked Wang Zhong, "Is your farmhouse planning to open?"

Wang Zhong said: "We are almost ready. We will officially open on the third day of the new year."

"Have everyone found them?" the uncle asked.

Wang Zhong said: "We've almost found it."

The eldest aunt said: "Your sister will also come when the time comes. Ask her to come with you and help you!"

"I just opened my business here, so I guess there won't be much business." Wang Chong said with a smile.

The eldest aunt said: "With your skills, you will definitely not have to worry about business when the time comes."

"That's right!" My aunt nodded in agreement and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Did Xiao Zhong go out to study with a teacher?"

No wonder the aunt said so. Although Wang Zhong had cooked before, his skills were not that good. The few dishes on the table, although they were home-cooked dishes and not complicated, tasted better than the most expensive ones in the county. The best restaurants do a good job, and the third aunt, who pays great attention to her figure and controls her appetite, couldn't help but eat a lot.

"That's not the case. Haven't you been out alone these past few years? I don't have any other hobbies. I usually do a lot of research. I read a lot of recipes and found a lot of videos on the Internet to follow."

"Xiao Zhong, this is called talent!" said the eldest aunt.

The family finished the New Year's Eve dinner chatting and laughing, and my uncle and aunt gathered in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. At around 7:30 in the evening, several cousins ​​who had not left the country came to visit my uncle and aunt with their things. , all of whom had just returned from overseas a few years ago, a large family gathered around the firepit and chatted.

Several cousins ​​came over, and the smiles on the faces of the uncle and aunt were obviously more serious.

After chatting for almost an hour, several cousins ​​invited Wang Zhong to go out for a walk together. Wang Zhong did not refuse and followed them out of his uncle's house.

"Where are we going?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Why don't you go to Shuping's house and have a look?" Wang Ming, the cousin, suggested.

"Okay!" Second brother Wang Shuo said, "We will discuss what to do later!"

The remaining people all agreed, and Wang Zhong naturally had no objection.

Following a few people to Wang Shuping's house, a group of young people were playing cards around the table. There were no entertainment activities in the countryside. Nowadays, everyone has given up on the Spring Festival Gala, so playing cards has naturally become the most common way to pass the time.

Wang Zhong has no interest in playing cards, mainly because it is really not difficult for the current Wang Zhong. If Wang Zhong really wanted to, let alone a deck of cards, even three or four decks piled together, Wang Zhong could memorize all the cards. The position of some cards.

Although Wang Zhong has not specifically come into contact with gambling skills, martial arts training is also a must-have for his eyesight. With Wang Zhong's abnormal body, he can still memorize cards even without using his true energy.

Everyone was playing for a small amount of money, about five or ten yuan, and it was mainly because people gathered together to have fun, but the shouting was quite loud, and a game worth a few hundred yuan was completed with the momentum of tens or even millions.

Wang Zhong also knew everyone around the table. His age ranged between ten years old and younger. The older one was in his late thirties and already in his fourth year. The youngest one was still in college. There were quite a lot of people.

It was quite interesting to listen to everyone playing cards noisily, and to see the people shouting and shouting next to them more excitedly than the ones playing.

The card game only lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. There was a young man in his early twenties who looked pretty good. He said that a girl had made an appointment with him to sing in the city. Everyone immediately gave away the cards in their hands and started shouting. They made noises, and the opinions were surprisingly unanimous. They all wanted to sing with the girl and have supper.

As soon as they talked about singing and having midnight snacks, the eyes of Wang Zhong's cousins ​​instantly lit up, like cats that smelled the smell of fish, or hungry wolves that saw their prey.

Wang Zhong didn't feel out of place with them, but rather enjoyed it, and even offered to drive there.

Nowadays, cars are not a rare thing, and the family conditions are somewhat decent. Anyone who can drive will basically have one. It is convenient to go to the city, but after all, this is a rural area, and Wang Zhong's hometown is not a developed area. Not every household has one. Among Wang Zhong's cousins, only the second cousin has a car. The eldest cousin has never bought one because his family's financial situation is not good and he doesn't know how to drive. The third brother has just gotten married and still has a mortgage loan. With so much debt, I can't afford to buy or maintain a car.

"Xiao Zhong, you can do it. It's been a while since we last met, and the Hongqi h9 is all arranged!" The second cousin is not very proficient in cars, but he knows a few things. When he saw Wang Zhong's h9, his eyes instantly lit up.

"But I heard that this car has a lot of problems! How do you feel about driving it?" The second brother grabbed the co-pilot and asked impatiently.

Wang Zhong drove slowly on the road and met the motorcade waiting at the entrance of the village.

"It drives very well. I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Wang Zhong said: "Besides, I simply support the automobile companies that support our country."

"Yo!" There was a car parked on the roadside at the entrance of the village. Those who knew a lot of girls were busy contacting people on the prestige phone number. The other three people gathered in a circle around the car, holding cigarettes in their hands and blowing smoke. While bragging and spanking.

"Where are Xiaoyan and the others?" The cousin asked as he got out of the car in a hurry.

"They have picked up the girl. Let's go directly to the city! Book a private room first." Wang Shuping said.

"Let's go then, why are you delaying?"

"Let's go!"

"Xiao Zhong, let's get started on the second brother!" The second cousin rubbed his hands and said expectantly.

Wang Zhong handed the car keys to his second cousin, took the initiative to open the passenger door and got in.

There were many cars on New Year's Eve, and the drivers were not drinking, and the speed was neither fast nor slow. It took half an hour to drive to the city. My second cousin's driving skills were good, and he drove steadily without any problems.

Everyone arrived at a newly opened KTV, ordered a luxury bag, and ordered a lot of drinks. Before the girls came over, they grabbed the microphone and started to howl at the top of their lungs.

Wang Zhong also sang two songs along with it.

More than twenty minutes later, the door to the box was pushed open, and Wang Yan walked in first, followed by four young and beautiful girls who entered the box arm in arm.

The makeup on the first two is very thick, and I don’t know how much foundation is on their faces. The two at the back are slightly better. The first two look quite delicate, but they are all made up. I really need to remove the makeup. That's hard to say. Wang Zhong doesn't have Sun Houhou's sharp eyes, so he can't see the true faces of these girls in Lushan.

As soon as the girls arrived, the atmosphere in the box immediately changed. The men immediately moved out of the way between the sofas, and those holding the wine took the wine and those holding the glasses took the glasses.

After a glass of beer, the two girls ran to order some songs. They sat on the sofa with arms and legs crossed, chatting, but their eyes were still scanning the people in the box.

Men are picking on women, and women are picking on men.

Wang Zhong's appearance is good, but he is not the refined look that girls like nowadays. Instead, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, showing a bit of ruggedness and bravery.

Wang Yan, who met several girls, was the most handsome among them all. He was also very well-dressed and young.

As soon as the girls arrived, the atmosphere in the box immediately changed. Several people immediately gathered around and started playing games with the girls.

The two girls who requested songs also started playing after they finished the song. Wang Zhong did not join in, but walked to the side and ordered his brother's "The Wind Keeps Blowing" and "Silence is Golden". He asked for the microphone and sat on the swivel chair to listen. The intro sounds, waiting for the song to start.

As soon as the two songs were finished, the phone in his pocket rang. Seeing that it was his old classmate Yuan Xiao, Wang Chong hurriedly walked out of the box and picked it up.

"What's wrong with Lao Yuan?"

"Didn't you go singing?"

"how do you know?"

"I wonder why I look so much like you! We are also singing, do you want to come over for a drink?" Yuan Xiao's warm invitation came over the phone.

"Which box are you in?"

"A108!"

"Come here!"

The box was not far from the room where Wang Zhong and his friends lived. As soon as they passed the corner, Wang Zhong saw Yuan Xiao standing at the door of the box waving to him.

"I said he looks just like you! It's true." Yuan Xiao came up to him with a smile and patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder.

"Who are they?" Wang Zhong asked, looking in the direction of the box.

Yuan Xiao said: "A few colleagues, and a few friends they brought!" As he spoke, Yuan Xiao's expression suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth raised, he hooked Wang Zhong's shoulders, and said with a mysterious smile: " There’s a girl!”

"And she's a beauty!"

"A beautiful woman?" Wang Zhong looked at Yuan Xiao and asked, "How beautiful is she?"

"Before us, you would have been a class star after all!"

"Then I have to get to know each other."

"Let's go, brother, let me introduce you!"

Saying that, Yuan Xiao led Wang Zhong into the box.

"Let me introduce you! My best friend in high school, Wang Zhong!"

"You have met these last few times, so I won't introduce you. You must get to know this beauty!" Yuan Xiao pulled Wang Zhong to a girl with a ponytail and only a little makeup on her face. Thirteen or four, a beautiful girl with a somewhat youthful appearance came forward.

"Li Wanruo, Li Qun's cousin, has just graduated from college. She is a top student like you and is now a teacher at our alma mater."

Li Wanruo was wearing a red turtleneck sweater, which highlighted her slender swan neck. Hearing this, she smiled sweetly at Wang Zhong, stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, I am Li Wanruo, history teacher."

Wang Zhong smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with the plow: "Wang Zhong, we are still starting a business!"

"Start a business?" Li Wanruo met Wang Zhong's gaze, but did not feel any discomfort, because his eyes were clear and clean, without any distracting thoughts, and even the smile on his face was sincere. He nodded, Li Wanruo did not Keep asking.

The atmosphere in Yuan Xiao's private room was much better than that of the howling ghosts and wolves over there. Although they were singing, playing games and drinking, the atmosphere was not that noisy.

Wang Zhong drank a glass of wine with everyone and said goodbye.
