Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 54 Playing Movies

"Hey, Junzi, why are you here? Haha... Hurry, go sit in the room for a while!"

Lao Maitou pushed open the courtyard door, saw the smiling Yao Weijun, and quickly greeted him warmly.

"Master Mai, we won't go into the house anymore. I'm here to invite you to the threshing floor for dinner!"

Yao Weijun took out a cigarette and handed it over, and then said: "I know you always like to drink high-grade sweet potato roast, so I brought a few pounds back from the commune. I will give it to you later to see if it is authentic!"

"This... well, that's not good, I..."

Lao Maitou was flattered and hesitantly laughed.

"Let's go, why are you so polite to me? I just have something to discuss with Master Mai. Let's chat while we eat!"

Yao Weijun sincerely invited Lao Maitou to the threshing floor.

After two cups of sweet potatoes, Lao Maitou smashed his mouth with enjoyment, took out the pipe pot, and looked at Yao Weijun with something to say.

"Oh, it's like this. You've seen it, Mr. Mai. I've been doing some small business recently, but I'm short of a delivery person. After much thought, I think you are the most suitable person, Mr. Mai."

Yao Weijun explained straightforwardly: "Now the village has divided the land, but I know that the ox cart is still at your house. You also raise the cattle. The village department gives you a monthly subsidy, so it's a good time to take advantage of it.

I have already said hello to the people at the receiving end. You are only responsible for the delivery. They will have someone to move the scale and I will settle the payment with them, so you don’t have to worry about it.

There are a total of four places now. Because the distance is a bit far, you can send one home every day, which is equivalent to one day off in five days. Then I will give you a salary of 15 yuan per month. Don’t be too little, right? I smoke and drink as a tribute to you, okay? "

After Lao Maitou understood what he said, his excited face showed a look of surprise, and his hand that smoked the dry pipe trembled a little.

"Well, Guardsman, why are you still thinking about me, an old man? Don't worry, I promise to deliver the goods on time and according to the quantity. There will be no mistakes. If the goods are missing one or two, I will take off the head to replenish them. you!"

"Hey, Master Mai, what you said is outrageous, we won't do it! As long as you help me do this with your heart, I will be very grateful, haha... Come, I will give you another glass!"

Yao Weijun is in a good mood, and he has found a suitable candidate in the last step. During the next period of going to the county town, his family's business will not be affected, and he will still create profits for him every day. This is exactly the result he wants to see.

As for why he didn't leave this job to his father or second brother at home, Yao Weijun saw it clearly...

The more familiar you are with someone, the more troubles you will have. If you don’t have enough time, you won’t be angry enough!
Eat, drink and have fun.

Yao Weijun sent Lao Maitou away, washed up, and went to the kang to rest.

……

In a blink of an eye, the National Day is coming, and all the students in the village have a holiday, and Yu Xiunan also has three days of rest.

"Weijun, there is a movie in Fengyang Village tonight. I heard that Love in Lushan will be shown this time. Let's go and watch it together."

In the morning, Yu Xiunan quietly waved under the tree far away from the threshing floor. After Yao Weijun passed by, he invited with excitement on his face.

In this era, no matter which village a movie is shown in, it is a big event. As long as the neighboring villages hear the news, many men and women will go out of their way to gather early to watch the movie plot and experience the magical world of light and shadow.

"Okay, but I have a request."

"How novel. Let you accompany Brother Nan to watch a movie and negotiate conditions. I think you want to go to heaven, right? If you love me, don't let me down!"

When Yu Xiunan heard this, she frowned and her beautiful eyes squinted over.

"I'm not saying no, I just think that when we watch movies, we have to have a learning spirit. Take the movie Love in Lushan as an example, tsk... look at the heroine, her persistence and boldness in love, ugh , so touching.”

Yao Weijun had a yearning look on his face and his tone was sincere and natural.

Lushan Love is a movie about love. It caused a huge sensation and response as soon as it was released.If nothing else, the main reason is the brave kiss of the heroine in the play, which was directly praised as the "first kiss on screen" by later generations. In this era, I don't know how many men and women have been touched.

It not only impacts the conservative ideas in people's minds nowadays, but also brings the topic of love into the public eye in a real sense.

Yao Weijun was familiar with the plot and deliberately teased Yu Xiunan at this moment.

"Why don't you stop it and stop putting so much money on your face? I seem to know what you want to ask for... Humph!"

Yu Xiunan couldn't help but bared her white teeth, her pretty face showed anger and embarrassment, showing a hint of disdain for Yao Weijun.

"It's good to know. It means we want to go together!"

Yao Weijun nodded nonchalantly. When he saw Yu Xiunan, he was about to pounce on her with all his teeth and claws. He simply stepped forward and opened his arms, "Come on, you can give it a try now."

"..." Yu Xiunan was startled and stopped her momentum. She quickly looked around and said angrily, "Don't be such a hooligan. Anyway, I've informed you that you can go or not. I'm leaving!"

"Definitely go, you are prettier than a movie star, I'm waiting for that kiss too!"

Yao Weijun knew that it was not convenient for her to stay and have lunch together, so he did not persuade her to stay.

Yu Xiunan glared at him with a red face and ran away quickly.

"Huh? You can try bringing some peanuts and melon seeds over there. With so many people watching the movie, I guess it will sell for both young and old..."

Yao Weijun's heart moved, and he quickly found a candidate.

Thinking in his mind, he turned around and walked back to the threshing floor. Seeing that his sister-in-law was not very busy at this time, he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I want to tell you something."

With that said, he took his sister-in-law to another room.

"There is a movie in Fengyang Village in the evening. I'm thinking that if you bring some of our peanuts and melon seeds to sell, they will definitely be popular."

"I've never done business, is this okay?"

"It's okay, they want to buy it or not, you don't have to tell them."

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to sell much..."

"That's true... Then let's do it like this. No matter how much we sell or how little we sell, the money will be yours. Let's do an experiment. Sister-in-law, do you agree?"

"Huh? Then I'm not..."

"Hey, sister-in-law, why do you always treat me like an outsider? It's settled. You can carry thirty kilograms of peanuts and melon seeds on your back tonight. Let's go and try it!"

"Ah."

After Yao Weijun finished giving instructions to his sister-in-law, he walked back to his home in the village.

My parents, brother and sister-in-law were all on the ground, and only grandma was washing clothes in the yard.

"Grandma, I see why the mouse holes in your house haven't been blocked yet? That's good. In the afternoon, I'll use a shovel to level the ground, add some mud, and patch up all the places at the base of the wall that need to be patched. !”

Yao Weijun walked around grandma's house, walked out and leaned on the door frame and said.

"Haha... my military son is still kind to me and knows how to be filial to grandma!"

Grandma turned her head and smiled happily, "Okay, then you can take care of it. By the way, it won't delay the business you are doing, right?"
