"Well, there are movies to watch after the autumn harvest every year." Chen Lei works in the field during the day and has to stay in the house for several hours at night.
He was so skinny that his shirt stuck to his body when the wind blew, and his ribs were clearly visible.
Autumn harvest is a busy time. Autumn in the Northeast is also particularly cold. When the harvest is over, the weather is already cold. Lin Weiwan has already put on a sweater.
After rubbing corn in the morning, I cleared half of the space in the afternoon for watching movies.
The members went home early to prepare dinner and waited until dark to watch a movie.
What Lin Weiwan didn't expect after the autumn harvest was that Wang Ping and Du Shanshan were going to build a house in the backyard. The house was next to hers.
The weeds next to it have been cleared away. If we talk about who is the happiest about the house, it is naturally the village chief.
This meant that if more educated youth were sent down, they might have nowhere to live.
I made a plate of fried tomato and eggs, served it with white rice, and also took out a plate of cucumber and pickled vegetables. Dinner was solved in a while.
"Xiao Wan, have you finished eating? Let's go quickly." Wang Qiaoyun was the happiest person when Du Shanshan and Wang Ping moved out.
This made the room for the female educated youth much more spacious, with only myself, Zhou Rongrong and Cui Hongying left.
After packing up, Lin Weiwan drank some spiritual spring water, came out with two papers, locked the door, and walked out with Wang Qiaoyun.
"Did you bring any food?" Wang Qiaoyun looked at Lin Weiwan carrying a water bottle and paper towels.
"Of course, let's watch a movie. I brought some sunflower seeds. Do you know what movie is showing today? If it's good, come back early and go to bed." Lin Weiwan and Wang Qiaoyun chatted along the way.
Zhou Rongrong had almost packed up and was walking behind. Looking at the fair and pretty Lin Weiwan in front of her, her already tanned face became even darker.
Shen Shili looked at Zhou Rongrong and thought of Lin Weiwan whom he had just seen. He couldn't believe it. They were doing the same job, but Lin Weiwan didn't get tanned or lose weight.
Thinking about the letter I wrote last night, I was going to go to the city to mail it to my family tomorrow. I also knew what my parents were thinking. As a boy from the Shen family, he really didn't care about himself after going to the countryside.
Most of the villagers have already arrived, and the children are running around happily in the sunbathing area.
Aunties and aunties also gathered in groups of three or five to talk about gossip and news.
The location of the educated youth point was naturally in a separate area, which was neither front nor back, with a haystack on the left.
Wang Qiaoyun took Lin Weiwan to find a seat and waited for the movie to start.
Hu Xiaopang and Shen Minghua also came over and sat behind Lin Weiwan.
The Zhou siblings and Shen Shili sat in front of Lin Weiwan. A moment later, Zhou Weixi came over with Wu Erqiao, carrying a basket and a warm bottle. Coincidentally, they chose to sit next to Lin Weiwan.
Feng Yuzhen and Xu Xiaohong didn't know where they went, but Dong Daqing was sitting with Li Zhaodi at a distance.
Lin Weiwan opened the paper and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Wang Qiaoyun. Hu Xiaopang heard the sound of cracking melon seeds and saw Lin Weiwan.
He quickly leaned his round head over and narrowed his round eyes, "Sister Xiaowan."
Lin Weiwan sent the remaining half of the melon seeds to the back. To his teammates, Lin Weiwan was quite stingy, ever since the water for his room was taken away by Hu Xiaopang.
Lin Weiwan would feed him every few days, and Shen Minghua felt embarrassed to do so, so he would bring an extra portion for Lin Weiwan every time he went out to chop firewood.
Ye Jibai, who often went up the mountain, occasionally brought back pheasants to improve the food on Fridays and also provided half of Lin Weiwan's firewood.
Since moving out to live on his own, Lin Weiwan can be said to have lived a very easy life.
The movie opens with the 1971 Red Lantern.
Ye Jibai sat down next to Lin Weiwan. His tall figure sat upright even when he sat down, which actually blocked some of the cool wind for Lin Weiwan.
Lin Weiwan was crunching melon seeds all over her body. She saw Ye Jibai sitting there empty-handed, so she had no choice but to share some of the melon seeds in her hand with the big guy.
Zhao Kaiyang, who was sitting in the front, suppressed a snort, and when he saw Ye Jibai's cold eyes, he quickly turned his face away.
Halfway through the movie, the night and the day slipped away without knowing when.
Wu Erqiao lifted the cloth of the basket, took out the bowl from it, and poured out the malted milk in the thermos.
The fragrance wafted out immediately, attracting people nearby to look back frequently.
Zhou Rongrong and the other girl naturally turned around to look at Wu Erqiao, as malted milk essence was a rare commodity.
During this period, my wallet was empty, and I was very interested in any food I saw.
"Rongrong, this bowl is for you. I brought a pot." Wu Erqiao handed the bowl in his hand to Zhou Rongrong.
Zhou Rongrong didn't answer but stared at Wu Erqiao. Zhou Weixi and Wu Erqiao had never spoken to them in these days.
"Rongrong, take it. After all, we are a family now, and you still have to call me Third Sister-in-law."
Seeing that Zhou Rongrong did not refuse, Wu Erqiao directly stuffed the warm bowl into Zhou Rongrong's hands.
Zhou Weixi stared at Wu Erqiao in surprise. These days, the two of them were like roommates living in the same room, treating each other with respect. Zhou Weixi had never treated Wu Erqiao badly.
Ever since he knew Wu Erqiao was pregnant, he never let her do any heavy work at home.
"Why are you looking at me like that? We are all family, do you really have to die to get along with each other?" Wu Erqiao glanced at Zhou Weixi shyly.
He took out a few bowls, poured out maltose, and distributed them to Zhou Weinan and Shen Shili.
Zhao Kaiyang almost turned to the back at this moment, watching Wu Erqiao distribute maltose essence.
"Erqiao, is there anything for me?"
Wu Erqiao looked up at Zhao Kaiyang and nodded, "We are all from the same educated youth group, so of course there is."
As he said this, he poured half a bowl for Zhao Kaiyang.
He turned around and poured out the last half bowl and passed it to Lin Weiwan who was sitting next to him.
"Xiao Wan, since I'm married to your third brother, I'm also your sister-in-law. This is for you to drink. What happened before is my fault. I apologize to you."
As he spoke, he brought the bowl to Lin Weiwan and looked at it sincerely.
Zhou Weinan looked at the two people standing there in a stalemate, frowning, "Lin Weiwan, your third sister-in-law has already apologized to you, you don't have to be so shy, it's not easy for us all to go to the countryside as educated youth, so it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and tangle."
Everyone was looking at Lin Weiwan, but after hearing what Wu Erqiao and Zhou Weinan said, it seemed that Lin Weiwan was the one.
Zhou Rongrong glanced at Lin Weiwan and drank the malted milk directly. She looked at Lin Weiwan provocatively as he put the bowl back into the basket.
Lin Weiwan curled the corner of his mouth and took the bowl that Wu Erqiao handed over to him.
"Drink it. It will keep you cool if you drink more."
Wu Er looked at Ji Xiao who was holding the bowl with a charming smile, and took out some melon seeds from the basket and shared them with Ji Xiao.
For a while, the atmosphere at the educated youth site was harmonious and friendly, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Lin Weiwan put down the bowl under Wu Erqiao's gaze, and after a while put it back into the basket and continued watching the movie.
