"It's nothing, just some winter clothes and some personal belongings, so I feel embarrassed to unpack them in front of everyone." Chu Jingqiu said lightly.
Qin Yilan was about to say something when Zhang Pingping put her arm around her and said, "Yilan, it's time to cook. We need to hurry up and cook! There's a movie showing in the threshing ground tonight. Eat early and go get some space."
Zhang Pingping winked at Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong, then pulled Qin Yilan out. When Qin Yilan went out, her greedy eyes were still fixed on the package.
After entering the kitchen, Qin Yilan still felt a little unwilling. She had benefited from the packages sent in the past, but Chu Jingqiu's packages usually contained good things that her family usually couldn't afford to buy.
Last time, Chu Jingqiu forced a box of vanishing cream and a bottle of malted milk on her, and also gave her a lot of cakes and pastries, especially the bag of brown sugar. When she had her period, she would chop some ginger and boil it. After drinking it, her stomach would immediately feel warm and she felt very comfortable.
I wanted to get some more this time, but she refused to open the package in front of me, so how could I ask for anything?
Thinking of this, she must find a way to know what is in the package and then order it. This way her life will be easier.
At this time, Lin Zishan came to Chu Jingqiu's room. She took out twenty yuan and five kilograms of food coupons and returned them to Chu Jingqiu. "Jingqiu, this is the money and coupons I borrowed from you. I didn't use them. Thank you."
Chu Jingqiu took the money and said with a smile, "You're welcome. As long as you figure it out, with your diligence, you can more than support yourself."
Lin Zishan took out a few more packages of Haishi pastries and a silk scarf and handed them to Chu Jingqiu. "This is a gift from me to you. Don't refuse it. Refusing it means you look down on me. This is a local specialty. The scarf has a little flaw. With my current ability, I can only buy something like this. It's not worth much, so please don't despise it."
Chu Jingqiu didn't bother to be polite with her and took it.
Lin Zishan took out another bag of cakes and a silk scarf and handed them to Shi Aihong. "Aihong, I used to quarrel with you often and said some things I shouldn't have said. I know I was wrong. This is a gift for you as an apology. Please don't despise it."
Shi Aihong is also a carefree person. Recently, she learned from Chu Jingqiu the truth that Lin Zishan was deceived by Qin Yilan. She had already forgiven Lin Zishan.
"Zishan, I have forgiven you a long time ago. It's not easy for you. Just keep these things for yourself!" Shi Aihong refused resolutely.
But Lin Zishan insisted on giving it to Shi Aihong. If Shi Aihong refused, it would mean that she had not forgiven her.
Shi Aihong had no choice but to take it and gave Lin Zishan a big hug.
Lin Zishan has become more mature after experiencing such a great ordeal, and the relationship between the girls has become closer after these minor frictions.
During dinner, everyone was curious about how Lin Zishan escaped from danger, especially Hu Mingyue. When Lin Zishan asked her what to do, she couldn't think of a good solution, so she especially wanted to know how Lin Zishan escaped.
Lin Zishan said that after she went back with her mother, the gambling gang was arrested, and her brother was also implicated and sent to a farm for labor reform. The house that was mortgaged for gambling was also returned.
She didn't have to pay off her gambling debts, so she started to quarrel with Lin's mother. If she was still forced to marry the butcher, she would go to the neighborhood committee or the Women's Federation. Then Lin's mother compromised and let her come back.
Everyone thought that Lin Zishan was very lucky this time, but no matter what, they were happy for her because she escaped this time.
After dinner, everyone took a stool and walked towards the threshing ground.
A few people had already arrived at the threshing ground. Some children gathered around the projector curiously, and the literate children shouted, "We can watch 'The Battle of Shangganling' and 'The Visitor on the Iceberg' tonight."
The film crew erected several bamboo poles on the threshing ground and hung a screen on them.
Children, carrying long benches, arrived one after another to secure a good spot. Those who arrived first mostly chose the best spots around the projector. Some villagers hawked their home-roasted sunflower seeds and peanuts, and the villagers turned a blind eye.
Chu Jingqiu and the others occupied a good spot not far from the projector. They each bought five cents worth of melon seeds and sat there waiting for the movie to start.
Chu Jingqiu's heart was beating fast. She knew that Gu Wanshan was planning to attack Zhang Pingping. Would they do it while watching a movie tonight?
Chu Jingqiu instructed Jiang Jiang with his mind, "Jiang Jiang, tonight's surveillance focuses on Yu Fugui and his daughter, as well as Zhang Pingping. If there's anything unusual, notify me immediately."
At this time, the generator started up, and the threshing ground was brightly lit. Villagers came from all directions and found the places their children had chosen. For a moment, the threshing ground was crowded with people and full of laughter.
Chu Jingqiu stood up and looked at the surroundings. She found that there were really a lot of people here tonight, probably from all the villages within a dozen miles.
There was a large group of people sitting in front of the screen, and there were also quite a few people sitting on the back of the screen.
Watching the movie from the reverse side, the clarity is almost the same, except that the words on the screen are reversed, but the villagers don't care.
Many people squatted on the roof to watch, some climbed up the trees to watch, and some even climbed up the pile of firewood to watch.
Before the movie started, Yu Fugui took out the microphone and said a few words, arranged some production tasks, and then announced the start of the movie.
Chu Jingqiu discovered that the first program played was not "The Battle of Shangganling" but "News Brief". This news brief did not last long and covered some national affairs, similar to the format of "News Broadcast".
Yu Fugui's family was sitting in the best seats, and they could see Yu Huanxiang talking to two girls next to him. They should be Yu Fugui's other two daughters.
Yu Fugui had three daughters but no son. From the names of his three daughters, we can see that Yu Fugui was a man who favored boys over girls and how desperately he wanted a son.
The other two daughters were named Yu Gaixiang and Yu Jiuxiang. "Huan", "Gai" and "Jiu" all have the meaning of changing the next child to a son in rural areas. Unfortunately, after Yu Fugui's wife gave birth to the third child, there was no movement in her belly for so many years, so Yu Fugui just let nature take its course.
After watching the movie for a while, Yu Fugui stood up and left. Chu Jingqiu also stood up quietly and followed Yu Fugui secretly.
When Yu Fugui just came out of the threshing ground, he was walking with his chest held high and his head held high. But when he reached the first street, he became alert and acted sneaky.
He walked to the door of Widow Feng's house and knocked three times gently. The door opened a little and Yu Fugui squeezed in.
The door was then locked from the inside. Chu Jingqiu felt that two people had entered the house, so he ran a few steps, jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall, and climbed up. From the top of the wall, he could see that the oil lamp in the east wing was on.
She jumped down lightly and walked slowly to the window. The window was covered with paper. She poked a small hole and looked inside.
Yu Fugui was seen sitting on the kang, with Widow Feng sitting in his arms. Yu Fugui's hands were dishonestly reaching into Widow Feng's clothes and kneading her.
