70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 131
"Why didn't you come here? We haven't dealt with the pheasants and hares we raised, and the sugar cane!" Li Zhenzhu asked in surprise. Without Xie Xiaonian, she felt as if she had no backbone.

"Are you stupid? Xiao Nian is about to get married, how can she run up the mountain every day?" Liu Yifan said, knocking on Li Zhenzhu's head.

Then he said to Xie Xiaonian: "Xiao Nian, don't worry, stay at home and get married, the two of us will fix the things in the mountain, don't worry, we will leave your share on the mountain for you, waiting for you to get married Come on, come and pull again."

"Yeah, Xiao Nian, don't worry, I suddenly forgot about your getting married just now." Li Zhenzhu smiled embarrassedly, she didn't expect that she even forgot her best friend's wedding day , It is also too inappropriate.

"It's okay, I run up the mountain every day, my memory is not good, if not for my uncle's reminder from time to time, I would have forgotten that I am getting married." Xie Xiaonian comforted.

"Then can you still go to the movies at night?" Li Zhenzhu asked worriedly.

"Of course we can. Let's go down the mountain early this afternoon so we can go to the movies." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good, I thought you didn't even watch movies!" Li Zhenzhu said with a smile.

Because Li Zhenzhu wanted to occupy a seat early, she planned not to cook in the evening. After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zhenzhu and Liu Yifan had another meal, and it was right to have dinner in advance.

Because I always wanted to watch a movie, and Xie Xiaonian also asked Xie Xiaonian to go home early to make dinner yesterday, so the few people started to go down the mountain around 4 o'clock.

They didn't expect the movie to be so attractive to the villagers. Although the movie didn't start until 7 o'clock, and the projection team had just arrived, and the curtain hadn't been hung yet, they could see from a distance that people had already gathered in the open space. Many adults and children, and even some people from other villages have arrived.

At this time, a few projectionists were fiddling with film and projectors, and there were many people around them, watching it curiously.

Because there is no electricity in the village, there are still one or two people who are fiddling with the generator, preparing to generate electricity and trying out equipment.

Seeing this posture, Li Zhenzhu said anxiously: "It's late, it's late, Liu Yifan, look at the basket, I'll go back and move the stool." After speaking, Li Zhenzhu put the basket directly at Liu Yifan's feet, Then quickly ran home.

In order not to delay watching a movie at night, Xie Xiaonian hurried home to cook.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian was ready to cook, Wu Lihua came back with Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye's book pockets in their hands.

As soon as Wu Lihua got home, she started to eat quickly. When she heard the loudspeaker in the village yelling that the screening was on time at 7 o'clock, Wu Lihua finished the meal in the bowl, and then took Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye's meal. Just go out.

And Xie Xiaonian looked at her watch and found that it was only 6 o'clock, so she didn't know what she was anxious about.

Father Xie and Xie Dabao, who came back later, took their own food and left. Before leaving, Father Xie told Xie Xiaonian that there will be many people from other villages in the village watching the movie today, so let her forget it later After locking the door, it seems that the two of them will not come back until the movie is over.

Seeing that it was still early, Xie Xiaonian finished his meal in a leisurely manner, cleaned up the kitchen, fed the pigs again, and locked the door at 6:40 to set off.

When Xie Xiaonian arrived, she saw Li Zhenzhu looking for her, and when she saw her, she waved her hand quickly to let her pass.

Although Li Zhenzhu's position was not in the middle, it was not at the back, and she could sit on a stool to watch, unlike those who came late and had to stand and watch.

After Xie Xiaonian sat down, Li Zhenzhu said, "Why did you come here? It's almost time to start."

"It's okay, hasn't it started yet? I'm looking at my watch. What about Liu Yifan, why isn't he sitting here?" Xie Xiaonian was afraid that Li Zhenzhu would be rambunctious again, so he quickly changed the subject.

"He is standing outside, he is embarrassed to sit here." Li Zhenzhu said depressed after hearing this.

Xie Xiaonian looked around, and sure enough, there were old people, children and women sitting around, and the young men in the village were all standing around, not sitting down.

Xie Xiaonian did not expect that the men in the village were quite self-conscious.

Xie Xiaonian scanned the surroundings and saw that there were people from Uncle's Village coming, but she checked several times and found no one from Uncle's family, so she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

And the people from Uncle Xie Xiaonian's family did not come, there are so many children in the family to take care of, and after coming here, it would be embarrassing to meet Xie's family, so they didn't come at all.

After watching the movie, Xie Xiaonian felt that the movie was just like that, the plot was not very novel, it was still in black and white, and most importantly, the picture quality was really bad, if the screen was not big enough, she doubted that after watching it, she would be able to Can't remember the main character's face.

Moreover, the film needs to be changed several times for a film. During the screening, the screen will burn out from time to time, which really affects the senses.

But other people don't think so, everyone watched it very seriously, there were exclamations of surprise and anger at the thrilling parts of the movie, and the voices of the villagers cursing, and people who watched it kept shouting loudly. Spoiler alert, and the weather was extremely cold, so Xie Xiaonian didn't feel the joy of watching a movie at all during the whole process.

Because mandarin is not popularized yet, in order to prevent the villagers from understanding, there were people introducing the plot beside the curtain before and during the screening, which surprised Xie Xiaonian.

Although Xie Xiaonian thought the movie was mediocre, other people were very enthusiastic. When the movie was over, there were still people who stood there and refused to leave, and those who were walking on the road were also talking about the plot with endless interest.

In this atmosphere, Xie Xiaonian suddenly felt that it would be fun to go out and watch this kind of outdoor movie.

While Xie Xiaonian was lamenting the movie, Xu Zhongjun was packing up his things in the army, preparing to go home early tomorrow morning.

According to the custom here, within 10 days before the wedding, the man needs to send wedding candy, cigarettes and meat to the woman's home, so that the woman can entertain the villagers who help carry the dowry on the morning of the wedding day. This is called a big gift by the villagers.

Because the two families had discussed before and decided to hold the big gift on October 10th, Xie Xiaonian didn't go out that day.

After eating breakfast and finishing the work that should be done, Xie Xiaonian put on the previous red dress again, this is the only festive dress for her.

Fortunately, the clothes were relatively large at that time, and now they can be worn over the padded jacket.

Then Xie Xiaonian sat in the room, waiting for the Xu family to arrive.

As for the big ceremony, according to the rules, relatives are not allowed to come, and can only be handled by both the male and female families, so this matter can only be handled by Father Xie and Wu Lihua.

But fortunately, I don't have to do anything at home, and I don't have to worry about food, I just need to wait for the man to bring things over.

Because the head of the man's family was required to bring several respected relatives and elders from the village to deliver things that day, Xie Xiaonian prepared the tea early in the morning, so he couldn't lose his etiquette.

Rural people get up early and usually finish their meal before 7:9 am, so Xu Zhongjun's father brought people here around [-]:[-] am.

A total of 8 people from the Xu family came, and two of them even carried a large pork leg weighing [-] to [-] catties in a wedding box. pigs were killed.

Usually people give 10 to 20 catties of pork, so this pork leg from the Xu family is considered a big gift.

The villagers surrounding the gate of Xie's house, when they saw such a big pork leg sent by the Xu family, they all talked at the door about the generosity of the Xu family.

And Xu's father began to distribute wedding candy to everyone from outside the door. Although supplies are tight now, every child present can get a piece of wedding candy.

After the wedding candies were distributed, Father Xie welcomed them into the house, and at this time Xie Xiaonian also came out to serve tea.

However, the others were served tea by Xie Dabao, while Xie Xiaonian only needed to serve tea to Father Xu, of course Father Xu couldn't drink the tea for nothing, it had to be given as a red envelope.

Because Xu's father had never met Xie Xiaonian before, when Xu's father saw a fair and clean girl walking towards him with a tea bowl at the door, Xu's father couldn't believe it. This was the expression on his wife's mouth The sallow, skinny Xie Xiaonian?

According to Xu's mother's description, Xu's father imagined in his mind the image of a little girl who was abused by her stepmother, could not get enough to eat all day long, was thin, and had a sallow complexion. Unexpectedly, the Xie Xiaonian he saw was not what he imagined at all. like that.

Xie Xiaonian in front of him, although he looked a little thin, but his face was ruddy, and he looked well nourished.

But for Xie Xiaonian's current appearance, he is still very happy, after all, it is always good for his son to marry a healthy wife.

So after seeing Xie Xiaonian, Xu's father smiled even happier. When Xie Xiaonian served him tea, he happily took it and gave Xie Xiaonian a red envelope.

After serving the tea, Xie Xiaonian went back to the house with the red envelope, while Xu's father and the others stayed in the main room, continuing to chat with Xie's father.

Xie Xiaonian opened the red envelope immediately after returning to the house, and saw that there were 16 inside, Xie Xiaonian was very happy, for being able to give so much money, it seems that the Xu family is still very satisfied with her.

She has a very good impression of Xu's father today, and with Xu Zhongjun's mother, eldest sister and sister-in-law whom she met before, Xie Xiaonian thinks that everyone in Xu's family is very nice. Although she has not met Xu Zhongjun's second wife, Xie Xiaonian wants to marry After arriving at Xu's house, life should not be sad.

After sending off Xu's father and others around 11 o'clock, Wu Lihua quickly moved all the things to Xie's father's room to prevent Xie Xiaonian from taking them away.

Although she wanted to take the meat into her own house, but due to Xie's majesty, she still didn't dare to do so.

And Xie Xiaonian here was packing up his things in the house, and when he was about to go back, he took some old things that were still usable back to Xu's house.

At this time Xu Zhongjun also got off the train and returned to the village.

This time he has a month's vacation in total, and returning early can just help the family. The family will be very busy preparing the banquet these few days.

Because Xu Zhongjun came back to get married, from the time he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was joked by the villagers all the way.

Although Xu Zhongjun always had a cold face, many villagers watched him grow up, so there were quite a few who dared to make fun of him, especially the aunts and aunts in the village.

Fortunately, Xu Zhongjun's face is relatively thick, and his face is tanned, even if he blush, others can't see it.

But at this moment, he was very happy in his heart, after all, he really wanted to marry Xiao Nian back home.

Xu Zhongjun, who was teased all the way home, ate a couple of casual bites, and hurried to his elder sister's house without waiting for his father to come back.
