The Big Landlord

At most, Wang Ben was bored and complained in his heart. If he really wanted to meet a villager on the road, or who was in a hurry, he couldn't justify it without a ride, but it was completely possible to control the number of people on the seat. For safety, he also Can only do so.

With a phone and a motorcycle, transportation and communication were solved, but he still felt that there was something missing in his life. Seeing that he still had nearly 20,000 yuan in savings, he went to the provincial capital in a hurry and bought some home appliances in one go. Decided to thoroughly improve the quality of life.

I spent 3,000 yuan to buy a Little Swan automatic washing machine, model XQB30-91. In the winter, I don't have to touch the cold water to wash clothes, which is really a lot of trouble; I bought a Changhong for 5,000 yuan. Brand 25-inch color TV. In the past few months, I haven't even had a black and white TV at home. It's not that he doesn't like watching it, but the TV can only accept two or three channels. It's not interesting, it's better to read novels and flip through comic strips. For this reason, he spent another 2,400 yuan to buy a Sharp video recorder, and also bought more than 20 boxes of Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Chow Xingchi and others' video tapes, as well as Poly Gold. karaoke belt.

In addition, he also brought in a drilling team, re-drilled a deep well outside the house, and went to the town to buy a small electric motor. The days of carrying water for food and drink in the past few months are over, and water will be used in the future. With just a flick of a switch, the tank can be filled to the brim.

At this point, all the arrangements at home are finally basically satisfied. As for other things that don't matter, I will talk about it when I think of it. After this big purchase, the more than 40,000 yuan earned from planting lettuce was only less than 10,000 yuan, but he was not worried, because the iron rod yam in the field could be harvested soon.

I went to the greenhouse without a hurry, and the growth of the yam with iron rods went smoothly. I went home leisurely, laying on the chair with the stove, smashing melon seeds while reviewing Zhou Xingchi's love, the truant Weilong series, Lu Ding Ji , listen to Jacky Cheung's "Wait for you, wait until my heart hurts, kiss goodbye album, this little day is really comfortable.

"There's a video to watch!"

A group of children passed by after school and heard the sound of the TV in the room. They shouted in surprise and stopped. They stopped playing the games they used to do, did not write the homework assigned by the teacher, and did not even put their schoolbags at home. After watching the video, I had no intention of leaving when it got dark.

"Don't let me go back!"

One after another, the adults came to look for the children, all of them looking angrily, and they said fiercely from afar. Some even held small bamboo sticks in their hands, ready to slap the disobedient baby, but their children were still reluctant to leave. Go, keep your eyes on the TV even at the risk of being beaten.

The adults walked quickly into the room, the guy in their hands had not raised their hands, and after looking at the TV, they were no longer ferocious, and followed the children to enjoy the video.

In the homes of dozens of people in Xiushuiwan, black and white TVs are basically popular, and there are still two or three color TVs. One was bought by children who earned money outside, and the other was original foreign goods brought back directly by relatives overseas. The maximum TV in all of them is only 17 inches. Wang Ben's 25 inches does look much more comfortable.

TV is nothing, the main thing is that video is attractive. Others don't have it yet. It's not that they can't afford it. The key is that video tapes are hard to find. Benna was leisurely and free and easy, and went to the provincial capital to buy directly. Usually, when people watch a video, they either go to the video studio in the town, or when someone in the village holds a banquet, they go to the town to rent it and ask them to put the video in the village.

"It's dinner time!"

It's too late,

Many people have already prepared dinner at home and are shouting loudly.

"Book, stop first, and then read it after we have eaten!" An adult started to petition, and the others also agreed.

"No problem!" Wang Ben readily agreed, his dinner had already been cooked in the pot, and with so many people in the main room, there was nowhere to eat, so he had to go hungry with Xiaolinglong first.

Halfway through the meal, people came one after another, so we had to dig into the stomach in three or two, move the table to make room for everyone, and then continue to play the video.

With the previous experience, most of the villagers have learned that there is a video to watch, and they rushed over after dinner. The bench in Wang Ben’s house was completely insufficient, and some people had foresight, so they simply brought their own benches.

There were more and more people, and the main room of Wang Ben's house was so big that it couldn't fit at all. It didn't take long for it to be so crowded that it was impossible to pass by. Not only that, there were people standing outside the main room, looking inside with their heads held high. , even outside the lattice windows are eyes and heads.

"Move to the yard!"

Wang Ben greeted and asked a villager to help arch the table and moved the TV to the eaves. The house was finally quiet, and the courtyard was spacious enough to accommodate everyone.

The video is playing Lu Ding Ji, and Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical performance made everyone laugh, and there were laughter and laughter from time to time, like a sea of ​​joy.

The twelfth lunar month was approaching, and it was already very cold outside, but that could not stop the villagers from watching the video with enthusiasm. The water mist spewed out of their mouths, and the winter wind blew through. on the machine screen. The rows of stools in the courtyard are full of people, and there are rows of people standing behind without stools. Even if they stand, they can stand for hours.

I haven't seen such a scene for a long time. In my impression, it only happened when the movie went to the countryside. Even the captain couldn't help but sighed that the team did not have such a voluntary meeting, and they couldn't gather people together like this. The scene was very lively and warm. Everyone is very happy, and Wang Ben is also very satisfied. This can be regarded as providing the villagers with fun in their spare time.

After one is finished, press the button, take out the videotape, and change to the next one. Before you know it, this action has been repeated four times, from Zhou Xingchi's two Lu Ding Ji to Zhou Yunfa's heroic character, to Leslie Cheung's Farewell My Concubine , Everyone watched it with relish and was hooked.

"It's twelve o'clock, don't let it go," Wang Ben said with a yawn, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Let's put another one, anyway, there's nothing to do tomorrow!" I don't know who was the first to roar, and everyone agreed. Except for the students who had to go to class the next day and were forcibly driven home by their parents, all the adults didn't want to leave at all. the meaning of.

Wang Ben had to play another Jackie Chan police story to finally satisfy everyone, and reluctantly got up and left.

"Book, prepare a few more books tomorrow night, and watch them all night!"
