Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen had just finished frying the hemp leaves when Sister Guiqin came knocking on the door.

"I just said that I had fried the hemp leaves and wanted to send some to you, sister-in-law, and you just happened to be here."

Ruan Yu went out with a smile to greet Sister Guiqin, and invited her to come in and sit down.

As soon as she entered the door, Ruan Yu brought the winnowing basket filled with hemp leaves to Sister Guiqin and asked her to taste it.

Sister Guiqin is also a frequent cook. Even if you have never eaten it before, you can tell how fried hemp leaves are prepared just by looking at the appearance.

Instead of reaching out to take it to taste, he reached out and tapped Ruan Yu's forehead with a hint of reproach, and said with some heartache: "Is this fried? You really are willing to give it up!"

"It does consume a lot of fuel, but it's almost Chinese New Year!"

Of course Ruan Yu knew why Sister Guiqin was angry with her. People in that era generally lacked oil and water in their diet.

Especially for families with a large population, the little cooking oil they get every year is not enough for cooking, let alone frying things directly in oil like Ruan Yu does.

It is normal for Sister Guiqin to feel distressed.

"Really delicious!"

Although Guiqin felt sorry for the oil, she did not continue to teach Ruan Yu a lesson. After all, every household has different circumstances.

Xie Beichen and Ruan Yu are just two people living together now, so it's normal that they have more money than other families.

Besides, they can have as many children as they want now, and the couple will have enough food to feed the whole family; once they have children, they will naturally consider more.

"That's great. Sister-in-law will bring some back later and let our parents try it."

Seeing that Sister Guiqin liked it, Ruan Yu's smile became even more intense. She subconsciously went to find the small bamboo basket that she had brought back with the dried sweet potatoes, and filled it for Sister Guiqin to take back.

"Oh, please don't! There are a lot of guests at home right now. If you take away such delicious food, how can our parents get a chance to taste it?"

Sister Guiqin quickly stopped Ruan Yu and couldn't help laughing.

"Let's wait a few days. Sister-in-law is not being polite to you, but this thing is really precious. We should hide it and avoid people."

At this point, Sister Guiqin couldn't help but lower her voice and gave a very subtle suggestion.

"Okay, then sister-in-law, whenever you want to eat, just come and get it."

Although Sister Guiqin did not say it explicitly, Ruan Yu immediately understood the deeper meaning of her words. She stopped trying to persuade her, but put down the small bamboo basket in her hand, picked up a piece of hemp leaf and put it into Sister Guiqin's mouth.

As the saying goes, the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. You can live your life however you want behind closed doors; but in front of outsiders, it is better to keep a low profile.

It is always better to have less trouble than more.

Although she is not a coward, it would be tiring if she lived in the limelight every day, right?

"Oh, I've been eating naked for so long that I forgot about the important things."

Sister Guiqin ate two more pieces of hemp leaves, and then she seemed to have just come to her senses. She raised her hand and slapped her thigh heavily, and said in annoyance, "My mother asked me to come over and call you to have dinner!"

"Don't say you're not going yet, I'll be frank, it's the comrades from the film crew who are here.

President Wu, after much deliberation, we finally decided to let the two comrades live in our home."

Seeing that Ruan Yu was about to refuse, Sister Guiqin hurriedly explained, "The main reason is that the next four days of film screenings have been confirmed to be held in the brigade conference hall in Kaoshantun."

When Sister Guiqin said this, Ruan Yu was a little surprised.

"Didn't they say before that the movie would be shown in the auditorium of the commune? Why is it coming to our village now?"

"Hey, isn't this because God feels sorry for our village?

The screening was originally scheduled to take place at the commune auditorium, but it snowed the day before and collapsed a corner of the auditorium’s roof!

Although the movie can be shown on the elementary school playground, it’s snowing outside again!

We can’t let the folks brave the snow and freeze outside all night to watch a movie, can we?

So President Wu thought about it and finally decided to set up the site in our village.

If nothing else, among the twelve brigades in our commune, only our Kaoshantun has the largest conference hall! Otherwise, if all the villagers, young and old, come over, there won’t be enough space in other places!”

Sister Guiqin couldn't hide the smile on her face while she was explaining.

She was really happy, and Ruan Yu could understand her very well.

Nowadays, in remote rural areas like Kaoshantun, there is no television, no internet, and even no electricity.

The entertainment activities available are very limited.

Being able to watch a movie happily has become the happiest thing for the villagers in each brigade!

If it weren't for the inconvenience of being in the middle of winter, if it were any other day when the movies were being shown at the Red Star Commune next door, perhaps people from the neighboring communes would have taken the trouble to rush over to watch a few shows.

"My mother asked me to come over and call you. In addition to the two comrades from the film team, there are also Director Wu and comrades from the other two communes.

The main reason is that my mom is afraid that no one will be able to stop my dad from drinking, so she asked my brother-in-law to watch over him."

At the end of the conversation, Sister Guiqin did not forget to convey Sister Hongying's instructions to Xie Beichen with a smile.

After hearing what Sister Guiqin said, Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen did not delay any longer. They changed their clothes and rushed to the old branch secretary's house with Sister Guiqin.

When they arrived at the old branch secretary's house, Xie Beichen naturally went to the room to talk with the old branch secretary and the others.

Ruan Yu was not idle either. She followed Sister Guiqin into the kitchen to help Aunt Hongying who was busy preparing dinner.

Because he wanted to entertain the comrades from the film crew, President Wu did not hesitate to bring a piece of meat from the commune and gave it to Aunt Hongying, asking her to prepare a meat dish for the table.

Seeing that there were so many people, Aunt Hongying simply added cabbage, tofu and vermicelli and made a steaming hot stew.

Then he fried a plate of peanuts, made some sauerkraut tofu, and finally took out two eggs and scrambled some sauerkraut eggs. When he saw that everything was almost ready, he asked Ruan Yu to go over and notify the people in the room to prepare to eat.

President Wu was in high spirits today and in a very good mood. While inviting the two comrades from the film team to eat and drink well, he casually talked about the content of the film that was being screened.

"Can we play 'Heroic Sons and Daughters' a few more times this time?"

After three rounds of drinks, President Wu could not help but speak to the two film crew members and suggested, "I went to the Red Star Film Team yesterday and only watched a little bit. Alas, I didn't see enough!

I heard from Mr. Zhou next door that it's very good. Can you help me and play it twice more? "
