Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 86 Watching a movie

This afternoon, Zhou Xiaoyun was taking a nap in the house. The weather was sultry and hot, and people didn't want to go out so they just slept. When they were sleeping soundly, Zhou Xiaoxia came to find her.

Zhou Xiaoxia, who started shouting at home, shouted at high decibels all the way to Zhou Xiaoyun's house. Zhou Xiaoyun had always been sleeping lightly and would not be woken up.

People will inevitably feel angry when they are woken up while they are still sleeping, and Zhou Xiaoyun is no exception. She sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes: "Sister Xiaoxia, what's wrong?"

Zhou Xiaoxia was very excited: "Da Ya, let me tell you some good news. I promise you will be happy to hear it."

Zhou Xiaoyun reluctantly asked, "What's the good news?"

Zhou Xiaoxia deliberately appealed to Zhou Xiaoyun's appetite and paused for a few seconds before saying: "There is a movie in our village tonight."

"Oh! I know, I will definitely go and see it then." Zhou Xiaoyun said meaningfully.

Zhou Xiaoxia felt a little disappointed and thought Zhou Xiaoyun's reaction was too bland: "Why are you not excited at all? I heard my father tell me that I was the first one to come and tell you."

Zhou Xiaoyun quickly put on a smile: "I'm really excited, but I just woke up a little confused and my expression was dull. I've just watched a movie. Sister Xiaoxia, thank you for telling me this good news."

 That’s pretty much it! Zhou Xiaoxia was finally satisfied. She chatted a few words about the movie with Zhou Xiaoyun and finally told her to have dinner early so they could go watch a movie together. Zhou Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly and finally sent Zhou Xiaoxia away.

Zhou Xiaoyun got up, combed her hair and washed her face. She probably didn’t want to sleep anymore.

Sure enough, Wang Jingjing came after a while. It was only then that I realized that Zhou Xiaoyun already knew about the movie screening, and felt a little regretful: "I thought you didn't know that I came here to tell you!"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Min's voice came from outside the door: "Zhou Xiaoyun, there is a movie to watch tonight!"

Zhou Xiaoyun and Wang Jingjing both laughed. The one who laughed the happiest was Zhou Xiaoyun. Look at how popular we are.

Zhou Qianqian was the last to arrive. When she got here, she saw three people talking and laughing and wanted to show off: "Do you know? Our village tonight..."

 “It’s time to show the movie!” everyone replied in unison.

Zhou Qianqian was startled, which made several girls laugh.

In the afternoon, they naturally stayed together and stayed at Zhou Xiaoyun's house until dinner time before they dispersed. Before leaving, they made an appointment to call each other after dinner and go to the brigade headquarters in the village to watch a movie.

Dabao had already heard about the movie from his friends. After playing out for a long time, Dabao came back on time for dinner.

The family finished their meal quickly and took their chairs to watch a movie. Of course, the whole family goes out together, joking, and showing movies. Once or twice a year is good. Who can not join in the fun?

Zhou Xiaoyun and Zhou Xiaoxia set out together. After walking a few steps, they met Wang Jingjing and others who came to look for her. Several girls, each holding a small stool, walked towards the place where the movie was shown, chatting and laughing.

From a distance, I saw a tractor parked in a large open space in front of the low house of the brigade headquarters. The screen showing the movie was a wide and long white cloth tied with a rope and hung high between two trees. Several people were watching. The machine that plays movies.

 The children came earlier and quickly found a good place to put the benches and sit down.

Zhou Xiaoyun and the others were sitting very close to the movie set, and they were chattering away before the movie started.

Zhou Xiaoyun was infected by the lively atmosphere and became excited. Thinking about it, it would be better to watch movies in a cinema when he grows up, but it still lacks a casual, relaxed and happy feeling compared to open-air movies.

It feels so good to have fellow villagers calling each other out to make friends together. Look at the big and small men, women, old and young, who you don’t know. They are all from the same village. Some of them are related to each other, such as the second uncle and the third aunt. It is also a pleasant and comfortable thing to chat and chat at this time.

 The adults also began to arrive one after another, and the noise became louder and louder.

However, when the light flashed and the movie started playing, the sound became quieter.

 The movie shown tonight is an anti-war film, and both adults and children watched it with gusto. With the sound of a cannon, the timid children covered their eyes, not daring to look at the **** scene and reluctant to look at it, so they peeked through the gaps between their fingers.

Dabao was mixed with a bunch of boys while watching and commenting. His voice was a little loud and disturbed others, so he was scolded and kept quiet, but he couldn't last more than a few minutes and still stayed calm.

I don’t know who shouted: “Mom, I need to pee.” The mother laughed and scolded: “Go to the side and pee.”

 Aroused a burst of laughter, and the attention of the movie was attracted.

 In the second half of the movie, fewer people watched it, and the adults started chatting and bragging.

Some naughty children ran in front of the movie cloth and made various movements with their hands. The shadows cast on the cloth looked very interesting. Sometimes they were birds flying, sometimes dogs barking, and sometimes they turned into super monsters.

The boys swarmed up with strange screams and were pushed aside by the people showing the movie, so they started playing on the side.

There was an unknown family's haystack nearby, and a few boys climbed up it. The big, long, and tall haystack was soft and could be climbed up in a few clicks. There is nothing more pleasant than jumping, running and somersaulting on the top of the haystack.

 After a while, a dozen boys climbed up.

　　It was crowded when there were many people, and someone actually fell down and cried loudly.

The child's adult impatiently helped the child up and turned around to chat with someone again.

Zhou Xiaoyun laughed out loud after watching it, it was much more exciting than the movie. Fortunately, he didn't forget to bring something to eat, Zhou Xiaoyun thought as he took a bite of cucumber.

　　It has always been her habit to eat snacks while watching movies. At this time, she had no dried sweet potatoes, popcorn, or melon seeds, so she had to wash some cucumbers grown at home and bring them over. She put it in a plastic bag and had already eaten one.

Cucumbers are crisp, tender and sweet, and are more delicious than any other fruit. Zhou Xiaoyun's crunchy eating attracted the attention of his friends around him.

Zhou Xiaoxia was the first to speak: "Da Ya, what are you eating? Share some with me."

Zhou Xiaoyun divided the remaining cucumbers into two pieces and gave them to everyone to eat. Everyone chatted while eating. Not many people knew what the movie was showing.

When the music played at the end of the movie, Zhou Xiaoyun suddenly realized that the movie had finished playing.

 The crowd gradually dispersed, and some men stayed where they were, smoking and chatting together.

Zhou Xiaoyun looked for his family in the crowd. He looked around for a week but couldn't find them due to the crowds of people, so he decided to go home with Zhou Xiaoxia, Wang Jingjing and the others.

When I got home, I saw that Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen had returned early with Xiaobao Erya. However, Dabao is having **** with his friends and has not come back yet.

Zhou Xiaoxia said with emotion when she left: "The movie is so beautiful, it would be great if it could be shown again."

Zhou Xiaoyun burst into laughter after hearing this. Do you know what was shown in the movie, sister?

Perhaps what people love at this time is not the movie but the atmosphere of watching a movie!
