Chapter 9

"You go first, take those dried apricots on the window sill, and eat them as snacks when watching movies!" Li Dongbao told his daughter.

Li Chunlan agreed, and took two small benches from under the window sill, but no dried apricots. Although these things were not expensive, they couldn't stand Zhao Fuhua's way of eating.

Zhao Fuhua quickly reminded Li Chunlan, "Hey, you didn't take the dried apricots!"

"What's so delicious about that food?" Li Chunlan saw Zhao Fuhua's salivating appearance, a little funny, but her face was still serious, "I eat too much pantothenic acid water!"

"But," Zhao Fuhua wanted to say in the following words, if Li Chunlan doesn't eat, there is her, she is not afraid of pantothenic acid water!Zhao Fuhua didn't have the nerve to speak up!
As a result, the atmosphere became a bit dull, and the two walked towards the village entrance almost in silence.

In fact, the reason why Li Chunlan agreed to Zhao Fuhua to go out to watch a movie was not because of the movie, but because she could meet Shi Jingning at the entrance of the village.

In this era, the relationship between men and women is still very conservative. If you are not careful, you will be labeled as a broken shoe and become a synonym for flirtatious.

And when showing outdoor movies, everyone would sit and chat together before the opening scene. At this time, when she talked to Shi Jingning, no one could find fault with them.

Shi Jingning is a cadre from above and the captain of the work team stationed here.

The cadres of the work team at that time were all assigned to the villagers' homes for meals and lodging. Shi Jingning was the team leader, so the village would not allow him to eat poorly.

So Shi Jingning was assigned to Li Chunlan's grandfather's house. The old man was single and an old hunter. There was no shortage of food in the house, and there were no children making trouble.

Li Dongbao saw that Shi Jingning often carried water and firewood for Grandpa Li, and felt that he was unassuming, so he was moved. Once the family cooked delicious food, he asked Li Chunlan to share a share and send it to Grandpa.

In this way, both Grandpa Li and Shi Jingning can improve their food, and Li Chunlan and Shi Jingning are familiar with each other like this.

As for Shi Jingning's thoughts, Li Chunlan was young back then, and she was deceived by Zhang Rong early on, and she didn't see it until she was dying.

Li Chunlan was thinking about her thoughts, and walked to the entrance of the village without knowing it. It was an open space with a mud platform in the middle and old Populus euphratica trees growing around it. The village meetings were held in this place.

The lights on the mud platform had been on long ago, and there was a big horn on the telegraph pole, and all the announcements came from this horn.

Before the donkey carts of the open-air film projection team arrived, the projectionists would usually support the tarpaulin on the mud platform and sit facing north and south. Villagers who came early had already placed small benches on the ground to occupy seats.

An old man with a gray beard called Li Chunlan from afar, "Lanzi, here!"

Li Chunlan agreed, and was about to go there with a small bench.

Zhao Fuhua didn't eat the dried apricots, so she always felt left out, "Li Chunlan, my aunt is over there, I'll go over there!"

"Hey, take good care of my aunt!" Li Chunlan didn't want to sit with Zhao Fuhua at first, but she was relieved when she saw her go.

Grandpa Li was thinking about his little granddaughter, and handed the small cotton mattress to Li Chunlan, "Cover it on your lap!"

Beside grandpa, there was also a bench, which should have been reserved for Shi Jingning. Li Chunlan placed the bench she brought on the other side, and then took the cotton mattress from grandpa.

"Here," Grandpa Li stuffed another paper bag, which contained golden dried pears and green raisins.

How can there be so many fruits in such an era when every meal has to be calculated? It also has something to do with the local environment. This place is rich in peaches, apricots, pears and grapes. These are wild fruit trees, all over the mountains and plains.

As long as you work hard in spring, you will not only have fresh fruits to eat, but also a large amount of dried fruits in the sun, which is enough to eat for a year.Among them, the dried apricots are sour and sweet, while the dried pears and raisins are pure sweet, both of which are Li Chunlan's favorite snacks.
