Chapter 58: Movies are coming to the movie village



Spring is here, and it's a busy season again: weeding, tilling, fertilizing, and sowing. Jiang Suinsui can't sit idle either, so she starts working and helping with light tasks like weeding.

The fields she was in charge of were very close to the areas in charge of the educated youth. When she arrived that day, Jiang Suisui greeted Wang Xiaoyan next door: "Morning, Teacher Wang!"

Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Good morning, don't call me teacher, that's too polite. How can I be called a teacher?"

Jiang Sui Sui: "Why not a teacher? Didn't our village's literacy class start again recently? I'm sorry to bother you again."

Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "I'm probably only one or two years older than you. Don't call me teacher, it's too formal. Just call me Sister Xiaoyan."

"Okay, Sister Xiaoyan!" Jiang Suinsui called sweetly.

"Oh, right," Jiang Suunshun suddenly realized, "Sister Xiaoyan, you already have a job as a teacher, why do you still come to work? Can your body handle it? I see that you don't look well, are you too tired?"

Wang Xiaoyan moved her lips, her face looking a little gloomy. Before she could say anything, Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt: "Don't say anything, it's Xiaoyan who is stupid! Her boyfriend Zhou Qiang said he was not feeling well today and couldn't go to work and earn work points, so he asked her to help."

Zheng Qing complained to Wang Xiaoyan, "You look like a grown man, but you keep saying you're not feeling well. Are you just trying to avoid being lazy? You're not even well, and you look pale. You really don't take it seriously."

Wang Xiaoyan looked a little embarrassed and a little embarrassment: "I'm fine... He's not feeling well and can't get up, so it's not a big deal to waste a day's work points. I'll just help him for a day, it's no big deal."

Jiang Suishun listened to the gossip inadvertently and looked around awkwardly. It was not easy to interrupt, so she asked, "Sister Xiaoyan, when we went to the town last time, I saw that you didn't look well. Did you go to the doctor before? How is your health now?"

Wang Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then turned her head to avoid Jiang Suunshun's gaze, bent down and pulled out the weeds while saying, "It's okay, it's just a minor problem, it will be healed soon."

Zheng Qing sighed silently on the side, feeling very disappointed that his plan could not be fulfilled.

Jiang Suinsui was a little confused, but she tactfully chose not to continue the topic.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, look here, there is good news! Listen carefully!" At this time, a loud shout suddenly spread among the fields.

Wang Xiaoyan and Zheng Qing stopped pulling out weeds and stood up to look around. Jiang Suinsui also turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

I saw a villager standing on the edge of a field, using his hand as a trumpet and shouting at the top of his voice: "The commune will come to our village to show movies next month!"

"Are we going to show a movie?!"

"Oh, it's been a while since I last watched it. The last time I watched it was about half a year ago!"

"What's playing this time?"

"When is it released? I have to hurry up and grab a good spot. Last time I watched it, I was squeezed to the back and was blocked by the people in front!"

For a moment, the villagers put down their work and began to discuss enthusiastically.

Jiang Suinsui opened her eyes wide, feeling a little surprised. She had been here for half a year and had never seen such an activity.

She saw a few little girls in a field nearby having a heated discussion, so she joined in and asked, "Where is the movie being shown? When will it be shown?"

"There's a big showground ahead! It's only been less than a year, and you don't even remember this."

"Have you forgotten? She's out of her mind."

Jiang Suisui: ...You are the one with a broken brain!

"There are only a few days left next month, just wait for the notification."

Jiang Suisui: “Okay!”

Zheng Qing and Wang Xiaoyan, who were standing by, also smiled when they heard the news.

Wang Xiaoyan: "All year round, I look forward to this little bit of entertainment."

Zheng Qing: "I run fast, I will go first to grab the spot, and you guys follow behind. Oh, don't leave any space for Zhou Qiang!"

Wang Xiaoyan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, we won't reserve a seat for him. Let's go and watch it ourselves."

Having said that, Wang Xiaoyan still went to find Zhou Qiang when she returned home that evening.

"Zhou Qiang, are you there? How are you? I'm coming in." Wang Xiaoyan shouted while knocking on Zhou Qiang's door.

At this moment, Zhou Qiang was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, his eyes shining, a savoring expression on his face, and he made clicking sounds from time to time. Suddenly, he was startled by the door, and the next moment he quickly put down his legs, lay down, and looked listless.

Wang Xiaoyan opened the door and saw that he was still lying there. She quickly ran to the bed, put her hand on his forehead and said, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? It doesn't seem like you have a fever..."

Zhou Qiang impatiently pulled her hand down, and said in a somewhat irritable tone: "I didn't say I had a fever, I just had a headache! Can't you let me rest for a while?"

Wang Xiaoyan weakly withdrew her hand and said, "You've had headaches too often recently. It seems to have happened every other day. I'm worried that there might be other problems. How about... let's go to the town hospital?"

"What are you looking at?!" Zhou Qiang simply sat up and yelled at Wang Xiaoyan, "Are you annoying?! Don't I know what's wrong with my body? I just have a headache, I'll be fine if I sleep more! You keep nagging me all day long, I think my headache is getting worse, maybe it's because of you!"

Wang Xiaoyan was scolded and was a little confused: "I am worried about you too..."

Zhou Qiang: "Don't worry! What are you worried about? What have you done for me? Did you give me your teacher's position? Do you feel sorry for me working hard every day? Recently, you even refuse to let me touch you! What's wrong? Are you suddenly acting like a chaste woman?"

Wang Xiaoyan was so annoyed by his aggressiveness that she was speechless: "I...how can you say that! Who do you think I am? The teacher's position was set by the village. Did I give it up just because I said so? How come I don't feel bad for you working in the fields? Every time it was your turn to cook, I cooked and washed all your clothes and shoes."

"And... and..." Wang Xiaoyan was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head when she said this. "I just had the abortion not long ago, and I'm still weak. And what if I get pregnant again before getting married? How can I live my life..."

"That's enough!" Zhou Qiang interrupted her. "You keep talking about marriage. That's all you can think about. Can't we live the same life without getting married? Everyone around here knows that we are a couple. What's the difference between that and getting married?"

Wang Xiaoyan suddenly asked: "Since it doesn't matter whether you get married or not, why don't you get married?"

Zhou Qiang was choked and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he said angrily, "Marriage also depends on your mood. When you forced me to get married, I just didn't want to get married. If you don't mention it in the future, I might suddenly want to get married one day."

After hearing what Zhou Qiang said, Wang Xiaoyan suddenly found that she had lost her senses. She was no longer angry or sad, but felt powerless. She calmed down and said calmly, "It's up to you."

After saying this, Wang Xiaoyan turned and left. Zhou Qiang snorted, still feeling a little unhappy.

He got out of bed, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the educated youth center, muttering to himself as he walked: "There are so many women in the world, do I have to live with one every day?"

Jiang Suinsui was going home from work when she ran into Song Yuxue who was coming back from school. Song Yuxue ran over from behind and grabbed her hand: "Sister Suinsui!"

Jiang Suisui quickly looked down and said in surprise, "Xiaoxue, you got out of school pretty early today?"

Song Yuxue: "I came back running."

Seeing her blushing face and uneven breathing, Jiang Suunshun asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry? There's nothing urgent."

Song Yuxue: "Sister Suishun, have you heard? There will be a movie in our village."

Jiang Sui Sui suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is what you are talking about? I didn't expect that our Xiao Xue is also a playful person."

Song Yuxue wrinkled her nose: "No, I don't like to play."

Jiang Sui Sui smiled and asked, "Do you really want to go to the movies?"

Song Yuxue nodded heavily: "Yes! My brother took me to see it once before, it was so good!"

As she spoke, she swung Jiang Suishun's arm and said, "Sister Suishun, let's go together this time, and call mom and brother too."

Jiang Suisui thought for a moment and said, "Although Aunt Lan has been feeling much better recently, I'm not sure if she can come out to watch a movie so late at night. Let's go back and ask your brother!"

"Okay!" Song Yuxue nodded happily, and the two of them walked home hand in hand.

When we got home, Song Wei Zheng hadn't come back yet and Song Rulan was preparing dinner.

"A Zheng will definitely not be back until dark. He sneaked out again after finishing his work in the fields during the day." Song Rulan said to Jiang Sui Sui, "Su Sui, stay and eat something. By the time you finish eating, A Zheng will be back soon."

"Okay, thank you Auntie Lan!" Jiang Suisui agreed without hesitation, and then rolled up her sleeves to help her, "Auntie Lan, I'll cook the dishes. The smoke is irritating, please stay away."

Song Rulan smiled and stepped back to let her take over, saying, "Okay, this way Zheng can eat the dishes cooked by Sui Sui when he comes back."

Jiang Suisui snorted softly: "By the time he comes back, the food will be cold."

After the Chinese New Year, Song Wei Zheng resumed his routine of going out early and returning late. He would ride his bike out before the roosters crowed in the morning, come back at dawn, finish his farm work, and then leave early and go out again. After such a hard time, Jiang Suisui felt that the little weight Song Wei Zheng had put on during the winter had gone back.

Most country people only eat two meals a day, so Jiang Suisui suggested that Aunt Lan make him some midnight snacks when he comes home so that he won't fall asleep with an empty stomach.

After Song Wei Zheng knew about it, he simply asked them to have dinner together and just leave some for him after dinner.

So far, Jiang Suinsui has already eaten at Song Weizheng's house for several times, and she feels embarrassed about it. So she has to help out in the kitchen and put in some effort, right?

At the dinner table, she told Song Rulan about the movie showing in the village, and Song Rulan seemed very interested.

With a hint of yearning in her eyes, she said, "The village has held a movie show before, but I never went. It also caused Zheng and Xiaoxue to stay at home with me and they couldn't go. Actually, it's nice to go and watch a movie. I always feel that... I've watched it before."
