On the day of the movie screening, the Yu family's children were especially excited. They didn't even notice the various fruits on the table, and kept guessing what movie would be shown that night.
Duolu said with longing, "Brother Erdan said that they showed the movie 'The Little Days' last time. Will they show it again this time? Brother Erdan said that movie is really good."
Although Erdan and Dawa's versions differed slightly, he still found it very exciting and wished he could see it for himself.
Duo Shou's face also showed a lot of anticipation: "Besides movies about everyday life, will there be any other movies?"
Duoxi sincerely asked, "Will they air a few shows?"
Duo Fu glanced at his innocent younger brother: "Don't think about it, it's just one game."
Showing movies is such a rare thing. He had already asked Erdan. He is Captain Huang's son, so he can definitely find out some information.
He didn't ask about the program showing the movie, but he could find out how many screenings there were, just one.
Little Dorje could barely walk steadily, yet he squeezed between his brothers, running back and forth. Whichever brother spoke, he would run to their side, pouting and calling out "Yes!" in his babyish voice.
After he answered correctly again, Duolu mischievously reached out and pinched his chubby cheek, teasing him, "Do you know what we're talking about? It's right here, right!"
Dorje, unwilling to accept defeat, broke free from his hand and snapped at him fiercely, "Bad, second brother, bad, bad bad."
Duolu hugged the sulking little boy tightly and tickled him: "Yes, Second Brother is bad, Second Brother will show you how bad he is."
Dorjee giggled as he was tickled, and stretched out his chubby arm to Yu Rujia for help: "Mom, Mom."
Yu Rujia was eating the sunflower seeds that Gao Shujing had just peeled, ignoring her stupid son.
Dorjee became even more smug and laughed loudly, "Dorjee, let's see how your second brother deals with you."
When little Duoji saw that his mother wasn't working, he reached out to his father, saying, "Dad, Dad."
Gao Shujing raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Be a good girl and play with your brothers. Daddy's busy."
Duolu looked up and saw that Gao Shujing had already peeled half a bowl of melon seeds in front of him. The internal energy that they were not usually allowed to use was now being used to peel the melon seeds. A few melon seeds were separated from their shells after turning around in his jade-like hands.
Then she stretched out her fair and slender fingers and deftly twirled them in her palm, picking out the melon seeds and putting them in a bowl, while throwing the shells into the trash can.
His movements were fluid and graceful, as if he had done them countless times before.
Dorjee immediately tiptoed away from his second brother as Dorjee released the little dumpling from his arms, afraid that Dorjee would catch him and scratch him again.
Duolu reached out his little hand to grab the sunflower seeds, saying enviously, "Uncle is so good at peeling sunflower seeds. He peeled a whole bunch in no time. I wish we could be as good as Uncle."
Gao Shujing ruthlessly reached out and slapped his little hand away: "If you want to eat, peel it yourself. You'll get the hang of it after peeling it a lot."
Duolu's gaze swept over the sunflower seeds in the bowl, his big eyes filled with longing: "Uncle peeled so many sunflower seeds, Auntie can't finish them all, I'll have some."
Gao Shujing moved the bowl of melon seeds to a different spot, refusing to give him the ready-made food: "This is for your aunt to eat when she watches the movie tonight. You're a big kid now, you should know how to do things yourself and have enough to eat."
Doro: "..." He suddenly felt full, how strange.
Gao Guojing chuckled to himself. They're a married couple; you, the third party, deserve to be disliked.
As soon as the sun set, Erdan and Dawa arrived at the Yu family's house with their little stools: "Duofu, Duofu, come out quickly, we need to reserve a spot."
Duolu skipped and hopped outside: "My brother and Duoxi are washing dishes. Didn't they say the movie wouldn't start until dark? Why are they going now?"
Knowing they were going to see a movie today, the Yu family made a point of having dinner earlier than usual, when the food wouldn't even be on the table yet.
The older child explained, "You have to go and reserve a spot first, otherwise there won't be any left."
It was Duofu's first time watching a movie, so he naturally wanted to go early. However, it was his and Duoxi's turn to wash the dishes today. With so many people and so much food at home, it would take them about ten minutes just to wash and clean up after each meal.
Duofu glanced at the piles of bowls in front of him and said to his younger brother Duoxi, who was washing the dishes quickly, "Duoxi, you and Duolu go and reserve a spot. I'll wash the dishes."
Duo Xi happily put down the bowl, but quickly continued washing it, shouting loudly, "Second brother, third brother, go and save a spot, we'll go over after we're done washing. Eldest brother, let's hurry up and wash."
From outside came Dorje's voice: "Let's move some benches; there are more people sitting on them."
Duo Shou rejected his suggestion without even thinking: "A long bench that can seat two people is too long and heavy to move."
“Use low stools. They are light and easy to move. We can carry two low stools with one hand, so two people can carry eight stools, which is enough for our whole family to sit on.”
Gao Shujing slowly walked into the kitchen and said gently, "It's rare to have a movie screening once a year. Duofu, take your brothers to reserve seats and reserve our seats too. I'll wash the dishes."
Duofu thought that securing a seat was more important, so he didn't insist on washing the dishes: "Thank you, Uncle. Duoxi, let's go get some stools."
Duo Xihuan called out, put down the bowl in her hand, washed her hands in clean water, and ran outside without even drying her wet little hands: "Second Brother, I'm here, wait for me."
When Yu Rujia and the others saw the time, the threshing ground was already packed with team members, with thousands of people crammed together. Never before had they seen so many team members gathered here so directly.
After all, when people receive grain, meat, or other items, there is a first-come, first-served order. Those who have received their items will leave, and not everyone will come to the threshing ground at the same time.
For this movie screening, apart from the special patrol personnel, almost everyone who was able to move came.
The scene was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, even more lively than a vegetable market.
Yu Rujia and her group weaved through the crowd, searching for Duofu and the others.
“Auntie, we’re here, we’re here.” It was Duofu’s voice.
Unfortunately, there were too many people and he was too small, so he was really hard to find.
Just as they were peeking around looking for someone, Duofu ran up to them.
Duofu and his group arrived to reserve a spot as soon as the sun went down. They thought they were early enough, but when they got to the threshing ground, they found that there were already dozens of people sitting in front of them.
The group came with Erdan and his friends to reserve seats. The children naturally reserved seats for their families as well, and the adults from each family gathered together.
When Huang Guihua saw Yu Rujia coming over, she stood up and waved to her: "Rujia, come and sit here, let's talk."
Yu Rujia looked up and replied, "Hey, I'm coming right now. I already reserved a spot, why are you here so early?"
