The men and women at the door of the consignment point were chatting enthusiastically, and suddenly the loudspeaker rang: "Attention all villagers, a movie will be shown at the brigade drying area at eight o'clock in the evening. Attention all villagers, a movie will be shown in the brigade drying area at eight o'clock in the evening." Attention all villagers, watch a movie at the sunbathing area at eight o'clock in the evening."

As soon as the loudspeaker ended, the men, women, and children who pressed the pause button started boiling like a flood that had opened its gates.The children were running and cheering, "It's going to be a movie! It's going to be a movie!" The adults were also discussing enthusiastically, with beams of joy on their faces.

After a while, only a few of the crowd dispersed. Some were busy going home to tell each other, and some were busy going home to prepare food and occupy space early. An Moxue also dispersed with the crowd.

On the way home, An Moxue didn't understand why she was so happy after watching a movie, so she asked Aunt Ma, "Auntie, why are they all so happy?"

Aunt Ma said with a smile: "In our rural area, this village can only have the opportunity to watch a movie once every two years, and it is judged based on the brigade's ranking. The worst brigade goes to the back, and it cannot be done during spring planting and autumn harvest." Let's play it. If you think about it, maybe it won't be released yet. There are movie theaters in your city, and you can watch them for [-] cents, but you don't have them in the countryside. Even if you pay [-] cents, you have to go to the county to watch them. You have to take a bus, and you have to eat, so how much does it cost to watch a movie, so rural people basically don’t go to movie theaters.”

"It's true. How many eggs do you have to save for a few cents? Each one costs only three cents. I usually wouldn't bear to eat an egg."

When we reached the intersection, we separated from Aunt Ma and returned home.An Moxue was also curious. She had only heard of open-air movies in legends, but she was finally going to see them today.

The weather is good this year, and the mosquitoes are still alive. It's an autumn night, so don't be bitten too hard. There are so many people watching, and they have to take up space and compete for seats. If it's slow, just stand in the corner. I heard There will be people from other villages coming to see it, and it can’t be too wonderful to think about it.

An Moxue thought that she could go and see what the legendary open-air movie was like. As for watching it, forget it. She didn't even go to the cinema when she was in Kyoto. What's more, now, she's just curious.

In the afternoon, An Moxue was reading at home. The two sisters Qi Hehua came to An Moxue and said, "Sister Moxue, the captain asked us to tell you that our educated youth have placed stools in the sunbathing area and occupied a seat. There are already people watching there. Well, when you go to see a movie in the evening, just go find us, we are in a relatively front position. The one you are holding is the seat occupied by the dining bench. You should go early, otherwise it will be difficult to find us, there are too many people. If there are too many, it will be bad if you can’t find them.”

Mo Xue nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will prepare some melon seeds for everyone to eat together."

"Okay, thank you first, Sister Mo Xue, let's go back first." Then the two of them turned and left without saying anything else.

She originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and just go through the motions, but there was no other way. An Moxue took out the melon seeds given to her by Aunt Ma and fried them. The shells were a little burnt, and the melon seeds were cooked but not mushy, so they didn't look good.

In the evening, An Moxue finished her meal and was about to go to the drying area when the old horse leader came: "Girl Moxue, are you leaving?"

"Well, uncle, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, don't leave yet. There are a lot of people today, including people from other villages. You have to be careful at this time of year. Especially since you are so remote here, everyone knows that you are an educated youth and rich. You can leave. Close the doors and windows at all times, put away the things in the cabinets and lock them, and put away the valuables.”

"Okay, uncle, I'll go in and clean up first, and then I'll leave when I'm done."

"Okay, I'm leaving then. If anything happens at night, don't forget to call someone."

"Okay, uncle, I understand." Then An Moxue turned around and went back to the house, tidying up the things in the bedroom and kitchen, leaving only a few things that were visible on the surface, nothing superfluous. Nothing was left behind, everything was put into the space.

After thinking about it, he released the two little wolves in the space, added some food to them in the basin, and told them to take good care of the house and don't forget to bite them if bad guys come. The little wolves didn't know whether they were listening or not. I understood what she said, but still didn't understand her, so I squealed twice, as if I was drinking.An Moxue then turned around and walked out of the house, locked the door and walked to the drying area.

When An Moxue arrived at the drying ground, it was already crowded with people, both from the same village and from other villages, in groups of ten or eight, playing and joking, especially the young adults. The girls and boys were all clearly dressed up.

An Moxue looked towards the front of the drying area and saw only densely packed heads. She had no choice but to walk forward and saw educated youths sitting together in the distance.

But it still took a while to walk there. There were too many people and it was too crowded. You had to move over little by little. It would be troublesome to get out again.

Zhang Xiu saw her coming, raised her hand and waved, "Moxue, here." An Moxue also raised her hand and waved when she saw her.

When An Moxue arrived at the place where the educated youth was, she felt that her feet were no longer her own, as if someone had accidentally stepped on them several times.Everyone is rushing to occupy space, no one wants to give up, and there are still people rushing here.

An Moxue quickly found a stool next to Zhang Xiu and sat down, then took a long breath. Seeing her like this, everyone asked her curiously, "What's wrong? Like this?"

An Moxue returned: "Don't mention it, it's too difficult to walk here. I saw you here just a few steps away, but I couldn't squeeze in. I finally moved in little by little, and I don't know who stepped on me several times." , my feet are still numb now. Why are there so many people here? Come on, I brought melon seeds. Let everyone share some, but the frying is not good. The first time I fry, the skin is a bit mushy, but the melon seeds The benevolence is still good, don’t dislike it, just share it and eat it.”

Then Zhang Xiu picked up the melon seeds that An Moxue brought and divided some among the others. After dividing, half of them were left and handed them to An Moxue.

Sister An looked at it and said, "Let's all share it. I fried this specially for everyone. Just leave a little bit for me."

Then An Moxue grabbed two handfuls and put them in his pocket, and handed the rest to Zhang Xiu: "Sister Xiu, divide these, I will keep these." Zhang Xiu smiled, took the melon seeds and started again Divide the rest.

People were talking and laughing, and the waiting time passed quickly and painfully. The time finally reached eight o'clock, and it was getting dark. Subtitles appeared on the curtain, and then the sound appeared, and the people's voices also became quieter. Two 3 Minutes later there were only whispers.
