Chen Qiangwei was counting the things in the basket with great interest. She had three baskets in the row in front of her.

Gu Sannai laughed and scolded her, "Money-grubber," and then glared at her unhappily. "You didn't even tell us about this big thing. Don't be so impulsive next time. What if something really happens?"

Chen Qiangwei smiled and didn't answer. There was no point in telling them and it would only add to their worries. It would be better to bear it alone. Fortunately, the leaders from the city to the commune were all very generous.

Chen Qiangwei didn't know that because of her actions, not only did she catch all the spies lurking in Nanshi, but she also brought out several big fish. As the saying goes, "pull out the radish and bring out the mud," many of the people under the big fish also suffered.

There are many vacancies in the province now, and the municipal government is expected to be promoted to the provincial government, so they are naturally generous to Chen Qiangwei.

In addition to a hardcover notebook and a fountain pen, there were also twenty feet of cloth coupons, ten pounds of meat coupons, and one hundred yuan! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, she liked such a visionary and visionary leader.

The reward from the county was smaller, but still more generous than that from the commune. The reward from the county included five pounds of meat coupons, a pair of red pillowcases, and thirty yuan.

Chen Qiangwei picked up the cloth coupons and meat coupons and shook them. She looked at Gu Sannai with sparkling eyes and said, "It's rich, it's rich, Third Grandma. Let's eat meat tonight to celebrate."

She is now also a person who has achieved pork freedom, hahaha.

Seeing her happy face, Third Grandma didn't discourage her. "Then let's celebrate. Let's indulge in a big bowl of rice tonight!"

Wang Xiaomai also smiled and said, "Let's have some scrambled eggs with chives."

She now receives a subsidy of five yuan every month. Sister Weiwei provides the meat and Third Grandma provides the rice, so she can't be too stingy.

The projectionist came down to the countryside before the commune distributed its tractors. He would go to the countryside to show movies once or twice a month.

However, among the eight brigades under the commune, many of them only watched movies once or twice a year.

Whenever the projectionist went down to show a movie, people from other groups would set out early and walk more than ten kilometers just to watch a movie. After watching the movie, they would go back in groups of three or four with torches lit. This would keep them happy for a long time.

Gu Linger couldn't wait any longer, "Weiwei, Xiaomai, hurry up."

Chen Qiangwei said calmly: "Why rush? The movie doesn't start until 6:30." She had watched many 3D blockbusters in her previous life, so Chen Qiang was very calm.

Gu Linger stamped her feet anxiously, "Hey, hurry up! If you delay any longer, the daylily will get cold and we won't even have a place."

People from other teams came here at two or three o'clock to secure their spots. Now it's almost six o'clock, and if they don't go now there will be no spots left.

Gu Linger became more and more anxious as she thought about it. She grabbed Chen Qiangwei's hand and ran out, turning back and shouting, "Xiaomi, move the stools. We need two long benches. Let's go and secure the seats first."

Wang Xiaomai happily replied, "Okay."

She had only seen a movie once in her life, and that was when she went to the next brigade with her second uncle and others to watch it. The exciting scene is still vivid in her mind.

Wang Xiaomai picked up two benches and said, "Third Grandma, I'll move the benches over first. You can walk slowly later."

Gu Sannai was sorting the dried broom straw. She shook her head and said, "It's so noisy, it's giving me a headache. Just wait and see. I won't join in the fun."

She is no longer at the age where she likes to join in the fun. She would rather use that time to be a broom and clean the yard.

Broom grass is a plant specifically used to make brooms, and the brooms made from it are strong and durable.

She planted several of them in the yard. The dried broom grass in her hand has been growing for two years. It is very big and one piece can be made into a broom.

Wang Xiaomai really didn't like taking care of Sannai, but he didn't force her. He happily moved the stool to the threshing ground.

The threshing ground of Huaihua Brigade is very large, so all activities are held in the threshing ground, and movie screenings are no exception.

When Wang Xiaomai arrived at the threshing ground, it was already crowded with people. He looked around and realized that he didn't recognize anyone and that person looked unfamiliar. After looking around, he found that only one or two out of ten people were from the Huaihua Brigade.

Wang Xiaomai was short and couldn't see Chen Qiangwei and Gu Linger even when she was on tiptoe, so she was very anxious.

Chen Qiangwei was tall and slender. She quickly spotted Wang Xiaomai and shouted, "Xiaomai, we're here. Come quickly."

Well, Sister Weiwei and Gu Linger were just a little bit earlier than her, but they were actually at the front of the line!

Wang Xiaomai walked forward happily, like an ant moving house, squeezing forward and shouting, "Make way, make way, my place is in the front."

The person who had finally grabbed the spot was of course not happy. "Why should I give it to you? This is the spot I finally grabbed. Who knows if what you said is true or not? If you take my spot later, who will I go to for justice?"

Chen Qiangwei also came from the front to support her, and the two of them went through great pains to reunite with Gu Linger.

Gu Linger moved a stool over and said proudly, "Look, if it weren't for me, you'd only be able to watch from the back on tiptoe."

Maodan pouted, "Aunt, it was obviously me and Goudan who grabbed the spot."

This group of kids have been playing here all day today, and they didn't even move when it was time for dinner, for fear that their seats would be taken by others.

In the end, Goudan went from house to house to get food for everyone, and the adults at home laughed at them and called them stupid.

Gu Linger patted Maodan's little head and said, "I know. Thank you, auntie. Open your pockets." Gu Linger took out a handful of melon seeds.

Maodan first opened his pocket, then thought it was too small, so he lifted up the corner of his clothes and said, "Auntie, put it here. It will hold more."

Gu Linger tapped his little forehead with her finger and said, "You're a little devil." She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him.

Maodan was overjoyed, "Thank you, auntie, thank you, Sister Chen." Then he trotted to find Goudan and the others.

They sat in the front row, and since the children were small, they would not block the view of those behind them, and the projectionist would not push them to the back.

Gu Linger chuckled, "This little bastard, the melon seeds are obviously mine, but he's already thanking you."

Chen Qiangwei handed a tube of melon seeds to Wang Xiaomai and another to Gu Linger. "Okay, Nuo, this is to compensate you."

They bought the melon seeds from an aunt in their team. This aunt was really good at frying the melon seeds. The seeds were fragrant, crispy and delicious.

When they learned that the projectionist was coming to the team to show a movie, my aunt and her family started getting busy early in the morning. Only at this time would everyone be willing to take out five cents and a cent from their pockets to buy some melon seeds to crack while watching the movie.

A tube of melon seeds costs one cent. Use cut old newspaper to roll it into a cone shape and fill it with melon seeds. One cone is one tube, with just the right amount. When you pour a tube into your hand, it can just fill up one hand.

Of course, there are also those who are reluctant to spend the five cents and grab a handful of dried pumpkin seeds at home, or beg their parents to fry a handful of soybeans.

One long bench can seat two people, and two benches can be put together so that everyone can sit closer together, and can seat five people.

Upon seeing this, two sisters from the team who had a good relationship with Gu Linger hurried over, asked, and happily sat with Chen Qiangwei and the other two.

"It's started, it's started, everyone stop arguing!"
