Chapter 64 Watching a Movie

The village chief informed the villagers that the projectionist from the commune would come to Yaoshui Village to show a movie tomorrow.

The villagers were all excited when they heard this.

There were no entertainment programs these days, so watching a movie became a top priority.

If a movie was shown in a place, people from the surrounding villages would rush over to watch it.

Many villagers went to inform their relatives living in neighboring villages.

Shen Jiale also prepared for watching the movie and fried some popcorn with corn.

The next day, Shen Jiale and Lu Bailing had dinner early and met at the village branch. They were stunned to see the crowds of people on the open space of the village branch. Both

of them were petite, Shen Jiale was 1.62 meters tall and Lu Bailing was 1.61 meters tall. They were blocked by the crowd in front of them and could only see half of the screen.

Lu Bailing pulled Shen Jiale to find a good viewing angle, but there were too many people in front of them and they couldn't squeeze in.

The movie was about to start, but the two were still in the crowd and couldn't find a good viewing angle.

Lu Bailing pointed to a big tree on the side of the road and said, "Sister-in-law, let's climb up the tree to watch it. No one is crowding with us."

Shen Jiale asked, "I have never climbed a tree. Can you climb it?"

Lu Bailing nodded and said, "Yes, I have been practicing climbing trees these days."

Shen Jiale couldn't climb trees, and Lu Bailing couldn't leave her behind.

Just when she was worried, Lu Mingfeng came.

Shen Jiale asked, "Why are you here? Have you eaten the meal I left for you?"

"Yes, I'll take you to find a place." Lu Mingfeng held his wife in one hand and his sister in the other.

"Don't you have to go to work at night?"

"Not today, I'll watch a movie with you."

After walking around, he still couldn't find a good seat.

Lu Mingfeng's height allowed him to watch a movie anywhere. Looking at his young wife, Lu Mingfeng squatted down and said, "Ride on my neck."

Shen Jiale waved her hands, "No, I just need to see a little and listen to the sound."

Lu Mingfeng didn't give her a chance to refuse. He stood up, pinched Shen Jiale's armpits with both hands, lifted them over his head, and placed them on his neck.

Shen Jiale screamed and hugged Lu Mingfeng's head in fear.

Seeing that his second sister-in-law had a good view, Lu Bailing said something, found a big tree, and climbed up.

The movie started, and the people who came later saw Shen Jiale riding on Lu Mingfeng's neck and talked a lot.

Shen Jiale was watching the movie and eating popcorn, and she didn't forget to feed Lu Mingfeng, so she didn't hear it.

Halfway through the movie, Shen Jiale was worried that Lu Mingfeng was tired, so she asked him to put her down, but Lu Mingfeng said he was not tired.

Lu Mingfeng didn't put Shen Jiale down until the end of the movie.

At this time, many people had seen Shen Jiale riding on Lu Mingfeng's neck.

Two movies were shown in total. Shen Jiale felt a little sleepy after watching them. Lu Mingfeng held her in his arms and carried her back.

Lu Yongsheng's family came over. Old Mrs. Lu, supported by Li Chunmei, walked to the couple and knocked on the ground with her cane and said, "How can a grown man be ridden on by a woman?"

Lu Mingfeng said, "Jiale can't watch the movie. What's wrong with me letting her sit higher?"

Old Mrs. Lu said, "It's bad luck to be ridden on by a woman."

Lu Mingfeng said nonchalantly, "It's bad luck, I don't care, grandma, it's dark, you should pay more attention to the road under your feet, don't fall."

Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she wanted to hit him with her cane.

Tian Liping said: "Mingfeng, you should pay attention. The whole village is here, and people from other villages have also seen it. It has a bad impact."

"My wife is riding on her husband's neck, what does it have to do with others? Who cares about other people's affairs? Sister-in-law, if you want it, just ask Brother Mingxuan to come back."

"You..." Tian Liping was speechless.

Tian Liping also wanted her husband to come back.

Lu Mingxuan came back on the day her sister got married, and he never came home again.

Every time she said she wanted to go to the county to find her husband, her father-in-law stopped her and told her not to disturb Lu Mingxuan's work.

Her mother-in-law kept urging her to give birth to a boy, but how could she give birth if Lu Mingxuan didn't come back.

Fearing that Lu Mingfeng would say something to provoke her, Tian Liping hurried away with her daughter in her arms.

Lu Yongsheng wanted to say something more, but Lu Mingfeng hugged Shen Jiale and left without giving him a chance.

...

When they got home and were about to go to bed, they heard someone knocking on the door. When they opened the door, it was Liang Qiaoli and Zhou Min, both mother-in-law

and daughter-in-law, looking panicked.

Liang Qiaoli saw Lu Mingfeng at home and said, "Mingfeng, you are at home. Come with me to find Bailing. The movie is over, but Bailing hasn't come home yet. Mingfeng's wife, Bailing said she watched the movie with you. Did you see where she went?"

Shen Jiale said, "Bailing climbed up the tree to watch the movie."

Shen Jiale followed with a flashlight to the big tree of the village branch to look for her. Lu Yongfu and Lu Mingqi also came.

He called Lu Bailing's name under the tree, but there was no response.

Liang Qiaoli said, "Could Bailing have fallen asleep on the tree? She sleeps so deeply that even thunder can't wake her up."

Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingqi climbed trees one by one to look for her, and finally found Lu Bailing hugging the trunk of a big tree.

Lu Mingfeng pinched Lu Bailing's nose to wake her up.

Lu Bailing seemed to have forgotten that she was on the tree and moved her body. If Lu Mingfeng hadn't caught her, she would have almost fallen off.

Everyone under the tree was worried. When Lu Bailing slipped down the tree, Lu Yongfu stepped forward and scolded her, "You are just a girl, can't you be quiet?"

Liang Qiaoli walked to her daughter nervously and asked her if she was injured.

Lu Bailing said no.

After making sure her daughter was fine, Liang Qiaoli grabbed Lu Bailing's ear.

"You little bastard, are you trying to scare your mother to death? Why would a girl like you imitate a boy and climb a tree?"

"Mom, spare my life! It hurts, it hurts, please let go." Lu Bailing covered her ears and begged for mercy.

Liang Qiaoli was just threatening, and she let go of her hand and said, "Are you going to climb trees next time?"

Lu Bailing smiled and ran away.

Of course, you still have to climb trees, otherwise how can you follow your second brother to pick pine cones and make money.

...

After watching the movie, the female educated youth returned to the dormitory and turned on the lights, and found someone sleeping in the dormitory.

At a glance, it was Zhao Meili.

Everyone guessed that she probably got sleepy halfway through the movie and came back.

Everyone washed up, blew out the lights and went to bed.

When they got up in the morning, the educated youth each took out their rations to cook.

Yan Xiaohua looked at his food bag and frowned.

"What's wrong? Hurry up and get the food. I need to cook."

Yan Xiaohua said, "Xiaotian, I feel like I have less food."

Tang Xiaotian asked, "A lot less?"

"Not much."

"Then you must have seen it wrong. If someone steals your food, can they leave it for you?"

Yan Xiaohua thought it made sense, so he took food from the food bag and gave it to Tang Xiaotian to cook.

The educated youths handed the food to Tang Xiaotian one after another, and Zhao Meili also took out food.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Didn't Zhao Meili dislike the food made by the educated youths?
