rebirth of cataclysm

During the Chinese New Year, the business of Duge Township Cinema is as good as ever. It is the peak season every year, and one day can last for ten and a half months.

Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Mingchen and his family have all gone to the cinema to help, but Hu Jianqiang and Zhang Qingping did not come back.

A chicken farm and a pig farm were built in Fenghuang Mountain a few years ago. Someone has to take care of this. During the Chinese New Year, those animals also need to eat. After spending so much money to buy them, they can't just leave them on the mountain.

I was starving and freezing to death.

So Hu Jianqiang, Zhang Qingping and two local workers stayed on duty to look after them.

Hu Mingchen walked around the screening room and saw that all the machines were running normally. The audience outside the windows were all attracted by the big ship in the movie. Hu Mingchen simply closed the door and went out to get some fresh air.

The movie being shown now is "Titanic". Although this movie has been released for two years, it was in the city. Most people here in Duggar Township, old and young, have not seen this highest-grossing movie in history.

As for the magnificent blockbuster, Hu Mingchen simply screened it during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, Hu Mingchen showed the Mandarin version. It stands to reason that the original version with Chinese subtitles would make this film more interesting. However, considering the cultural level of the local people, if the original version with English subtitles is shown, most people would probably miss out.

After coming out of the cinema, it was noisy and lively outside, with people everywhere. Children wearing new clothes were running around, some were eating snacks nearby, some were very happy holding a balloon, and there were some little boys

Throw the gun in your hand to scare people.

The young people all wore their best clothes. Regardless of whether they were rich or not, today they were holding cigarettes that cost a few yuan a pack. They were discussing in twos and threes what movie to watch today or which village.

Which girl is pretty.

The girls were dressed in colorful clothes. Some of their heads were originally unkempt, and today they were either tied with red ties or hoops. It looked like they had just been washed yesterday. They also gathered together in twos and threes, laughing loudly.

Smiling like a flower,

On the surface, he does not abandon those young men who are in love, but his actions seem to be deliberately attracting their attention. If some bold boys take the initiative to strike up a conversation with two movies, some girls will not hesitate after a few tweaks.

Will accept it half-heartedly.

Some of the middle-aged men or women gathered together to brag and chat, and some simply sat at the food stalls and drank a glass of wine.

Hu Mingchen stood on the steps and looked at both sides of the yard. Business was booming in front of each stall. Whether he was selling melon seed jelly, selling toy firecrackers, or selling balloons and candies, the vendors had to ask for help to stay busy.

.

This year is the third Spring Festival for the cinema, and the grand occasion will not be as crowded as the first year.

On the one hand, watching movies in cinemas is no longer a big novelty in the local area, and many people have seen them at one time or another. On the other hand, outside the cinema, several families on the roadside have also started to make various kinds of movies.

business, sharing the pressure of the number of people. Anyway, if you buy a movie ticket, there is no need to crowd in the courtyard. You can wait until the opening time of the next show before entering the venue calmly. The third aspect is of course the attention of the police station, so as not to have any impact during the New Year

Due to bad public security cases, the cinema has become a place of focus. Song Qiaoshan took leave and went back to the provincial capital. However, the police station still sent people to the cinema every day to help maintain order, whether it was petty thieves or punks looking for trouble.

Everyone in this area kept their tail between their legs and did not dare to cause trouble. Otherwise, they would be detained at the police station for a few days. If they came out again, the excitement of the New Year would be over. Even if some young people wanted to settle personal grievances, they would avoid it.

Hu Mingchen walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, bypassing a bunch of children, and walked towards a stall on the left near the door.

This stall is very simple, with two benches on the ground and a large dustpan on top, filled with half-fried melon seeds and peanuts. At this time, a father and son behind the dustpan were busy giving people a favor.

While they were getting dressed, one was busy weighing and collecting money. Next to them, there were two little guys who were eating the food in the dustpan and shouting.

"Melon seeds and peanuts are so fragrant and crispy. Men will get into fights if they eat them, and old people won't get sick if they eat them." A boy shouted with his hands clasped to his mouth, chewing two peanuts with his teeth.

"Why are you yelling like a dog? Do you think this is the ginseng elixir?" The other one said with a smile and pushed the other person.

"Then how should you shout? If you have the ability, you can shout." The boy who was pushed stopped and put down his hand and said.

"I'll do it, I'll do it, you get out of the way." The boy coughed, and put his hands together in front of his mouth to make a trumpet shape: "Buy melon seeds, buy peanuts, if you have money, you can give me money, if you don't have money, buy melon seeds."

"..." Seeing Hu Mingchen coming over, he suddenly got stuck and couldn't shout anymore.

"You don't have money to support yourself, right? Damn it, I asked you to help. It seems that you two bastards are just here to eat and make trouble." Hu Mingchen said, and knocked Gu Xiaoqi with a loud bang.

on the forehead.

The two boys yelling were Gu Xiaoqi and Luo Zhizheng, and the father and son selling the goods were Mao Feng and his father Mao Daming.

Considering the difficulties faced by Mao Feng's family, Hu Mingchen simply set aside a venue in the cinema for his family to use during the Chinese New Year, so that his family could make some money during this most prosperous period.

Mao Feng's grandma used to sell melon seeds at the gate of the elementary school above them, and she was familiar with fried melon seeds and peanuts. I dare not say anything else, but during the Chinese New Year, it was still possible to make a hundred yuan a day. In order to take care of him

Not only did Hu Mingchen not charge a penny for the venue fee, he also called two boys, Luo Zhizheng and Gu Xiaoqi, to help.

Who would have thought that these two guys would just shout randomly when they opened their mouths?

"Boss, why are we just making trouble? Aren't we shouting very hard?" Gu Xiaoqi said unconvinced, rubbing her head.

"You still said it's not mischief. Do you yell at me when selling things? You've watched too many movies, right? You're selling melon seeds and peanuts. Do you think you're doing a show?" After Gu Xiaoqi said this, Hu Mingchen glared at Luo Zhizheng again, scaring him.

He hurriedly retreated, fearing Hu Mingchen's violent shock.

"And you, men are more likely to get into fights after eating it? Can old people not get sick after eating it? Are you a god? You are just talking nonsense."

"Haha, don't blame them, don't blame them, they are really helping. With their shouts, business is indeed better." After finishing a customer, Mao Daming hurriedly defended Luo Zhizheng and Gu Xiaoqi with a smile.

After hearing what Mao Daming said, Gu Xiaoqi and Luo Zhizheng immediately puffed up their little breasts, like little generals who had won a battle.

"Hu Mingchen, come on, you can eat peanuts. They are grown by my family. They are delicious. Come on, eat them." At this time, Mao Feng held a handful of roasted peanuts in front of Hu Mingchen.

These peanut particles are plump and uniform in size.

"Put it back, put it back, I can't eat that much, keep it for sale." Hu Mingchen pushed Mao Feng's hand back and said.

"You can eat it. It doesn't matter if you sell more or less, not to mention it's not much. Just take it and eat it, Mao Feng, and give me more." Mao Daming took the peanuts from Mao Feng's hand and forcibly held them against Hu Mingchen.

inside the pocket.

Mao Daming thought that Hu Mingchen had helped his family. He not only gave Mao Feng dozens of yuan to buy medicine before, but also provided the venue for free this time. The benches and dustpans used every day were also placed in the cinema. He thought he would give some peanuts to Mao Feng.

Hu Mingchen's food was not enough to express his family's gratitude.

Although he could not refuse, Hu Mingchen half-promoted and accepted half of it. Whatever Mao Feng praised again, Hu Mingchen shook it off and put it back into the dustpan at his house.

"Uncle Mao, I think the business is okay, half of them are sold." Hu Mingchen peeled a peanut and threw it in his mouth. It was indeed crunchy and delicious.

"There are so many people celebrating the New Year, and both adults and children have some money. I didn't expect it. Otherwise, you can prepare more. After a while, your movie hasn't finished playing, and there will be nothing to sell here." Mao Daming said with a slightly regretful smile.

.

"Today is the first day of junior high school, and there are still several more days to come. Until the fifteenth day, the streets will be busy. Don't let these two boys eat. With their greedy mouths, one person can give it to you.

I lost two kilograms." Hu Mingchen pointed at Luo Zhizheng and Gu Xiaoqi and said, "They are here to help."

"How much can two babies eat? Haha, they are Mao Feng's classmates and friends. Even if they just meet, it doesn't hurt to eat some..." At this time, someone came to buy peanuts, and Mao Daming hurriedly left Hu Mingchen behind.

, went to greet the guests.

"You two have to be content, be considerate, and shout out when their store is sold out and when you can go in to watch the movie. Otherwise, you won't be able to get a share, you know?" Hu Mingchen flirted.

With his fingers, he drew Luo Zhizheng and Gu Xiaoqi to him and ordered.

The two of them were willing to come over to help during the Chinese New Year. On the one hand, they naturally had a good relationship with Mao Feng, and more importantly, Hu Mingchen promised that if they helped, they would be allowed to watch the movie.

With such a good exchange condition, the two boys were naturally very enthusiastic, but they lacked the skills to shout.

Hu Mingchen never yelled, and he didn't know how to yell. However, exaggerated nonsense like the ones they just made won't work.

"Xiaochen, why are you buying peanuts here? I thought you were in the cinema. I didn't see you when I entered." At this time, Qin Hu came from behind Hu Mingchen.

"Oh, Director Qin, you are really diligent and hands-on. You are welcome to come to the cinema to inspect the work, haha." When he saw Qin Hu, Hu Mingchen joked with him with a smile.

"What director? Deputy director, deputy director." Although Qin Hu corrected Hu Mingchen, the high-spirited look on his face could not be concealed.
