Chapter 297 Buying a Tractor
"Of course I know that in 1905, the movie was introduced in Tianjin newspapers for the first time, and later it soon became popular across the country." Mu Xiu said that when Mu Xiu first watched a movie in his previous life, she went to college. After watching it for the first time, she went to check the information, which were all the things she had seen.
"You are so awesome, I mean, have you ever seen a movie?" Lu Yuan saw Mu Xiu say so seriously, and a smile appeared on his face.
"No... I haven't seen it." Mu Xiu lied guiltily, but she was not a lie. I really had never seen a movie.
The two walked to the ticket office of the cinema together. At this moment, many citizens who came to watch the movie gathered at the door. Several posters of the cinema were posted on the wall next to them. In order to attract the audience's attention, they specially wrote a few big words for the trailer of the new film.
Compared with the cinema decades later, the cinemas at that time were quite old, with no electronic publicity columns and dazzling promotional trailers. Only a few huge paper posters were posted outside the cinema.
The ticket window of the cinema also looks relatively simple, just a small window, with a long queue at the door. At this moment, not only young men and women are queuing up to buy tickets, but also many old men and women are also watching movies in a fashion manner. On the outside wall are posting movie posters that are being hit "404 Murder", "Night Rain in Bashan" and "Liu Sanjie".
"What movie are you watching?" Lu Yuanwen Mu Xiu, who was looking up at the poster.
"It's "404 Murder"." Mu Xiu likes to watch suspense.
"Okay." Lu Yuan stood in the queue, quietly waiting to buy tickets, while Mu Xiu went to the long queue at the entrance of the cinema to queue up.
Finally it was Lu Yuan's turn to buy the ticket. Lu Yuan lowered his head and said to the ticket seller sitting behind the small window: "Buy two movie tickets for "404 Murder".
"Sold out." The ticket seller was holding the ticket stub in his hand, but it was indeed gone.
"Then "Night Rain in Bashan"." Lu Yuan thought Mu Xiu would also like this movie.
“No more.”
"What else?" Lu Yuan didn't expect that the tickets were so short.
"Only "Liu Sanjie" is left." The ticket seller said impatiently.
"Buy two." Lu Yuan handed the money into the small window.
The ticket seller tore off two movie rolls, flipped through the change box, took out the change, and handed it to Lu Yuan along with the movie roll.
Lu Yuanzhu had the money and walked towards the Mu Show at the entrance of the cinema with the movie coupon.
"Mu Xiu, I only bought "Liu Sanjie"."
"It would be nice to buy tickets if you can watch them." For Mu Xiu, he has never watched any type of movie, and now he is just looking for something new. As for what he watches, it doesn't matter.
Soon, it was Mu Xiu and the others' turn to check the ticket. After the two of them went in, they found the seat written on the ticket and sat down.
Ten minutes later, the movie began. The two of them were just watching the fun, but unexpectedly, they were slowly attracted by the plot and began to watch it with concentration.
The movie "Liu Sanjie" tells a story about a woman from the Zhuang people in Guangxi. She is smart, beautiful and charming. She not only sings well, but also has a better character. She uses her singing as a weapon to fight against local tyrants and evil gentry, showing the integrity and courage of the working people. Not only that, she uses her singing to convey her feelings, and finally seeks true love and marry her A Niu Brother.
When the movie ended, loud applause came from the cinema.
Lian Muxiu and Lu Yuan, when they recalled Liu Sanjie's singing, were attracted by the lyrics inside.
"We will make friends for a hundred years. Which one will die at the age of 97? Wait for three years for Naiheqiao?" Lu Yuan said softly.
Mu Xiu beside her could hear it clearly. She shook her head. All the love movies, TV series and fairy tales were not told. How did the two of them feel together? When they love, they really love them. When they don’t love, they really don’t love them anymore. They can’t pretend. Only the human heart in the world is the most fickle. She has long passed the age of believing in love.
After watching the movie, Mu Xiu and Lu Yuan were about to go back.
“Buzz….”
This is... Mu Xiu quickly looked at the place where the sound came out, and it was indeed a motorcycle.
"That's the Jialing Honda 70 motorcycle." Lu Yuan explained on the side.
"The motorcycle needs to be refueled before it can start." Mu Xiu asked.
"Yes, there are more motorcycles in the provincial capital now, and there are five gas stations. When we go back later, we will take another road. There are two gas stations along the way, and all the cars have to go there to refuel." Lu Yuanshan thought with understanding that Mu Xiu had never seen a gas station.
"Okay." Mu Xiu was worried about diesel, and now he was happy to hear the gas station.
When he arrived at the gas station, Mu Xiucai learned that the gas station could be so simple, with only a simple shed and two gas machines.
"Is it easy to buy diesel now?" Mu Xiu asked.
"The gasoline ticket is required, and the quantity is limited. Motorcycles can only buy 42 kilograms of gasoline in a quarter. The regulations for diesel and gasoline are the same, 30 cents per kilogram." The reason why Lu Yuan understood this way was because a boy in the same dormitory owned a motorcycle and often went back to the dormitory to say.
"It's troublesome like this." Mu Xiu frowned.
"Do you want to buy diesel?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Well, I'm here this time, I want to buy a tractor, but the tractor needs diesel." Mu Xiu said with a bitter face.
Lu Yuan remembered that Mu Xiu had written a letter to ask him about the tractor, but she didn't expect that she would buy it soon.
"Let's go back and ask my grandpa. I know he has a friend who works in the Oil Bureau." Lu Yuan said with an idea.
"Really? Then let's go back quickly." Mu Xiu suddenly felt energetic.
When the two returned to the Lu family, Lu Niandong and Chen Wenhua sat in the living room watching TV, and Xiaotian was busy in the kitchen.
Mu Xiu pursed her sleeves and went straight into the kitchen to help.
Xiaotian cooked millet porridge for supper, and added wolfberry and yam to warm the stomach and replenish qi. Muxiu made a steamed eggplant with garlic, stir-fried loofah and pumpkin soup, with less oil and salt, simple and nutritious.
After dinner, Mu Xiu helped Xiaotian clean up again, and then arrived at the living room. Lu Niandong and Lu Yuan were chatting, and Chen Wenhua went out to eat in the square in the courtyard.
"Grandpa Lu." Mu Xiu sat down.
"I heard from Lu Yuan that you want to buy a tractor and diesel." Lu Niandong looked at Mu Xiu with a smile.
Mu Xiu didn't expect Lu Yuan to have already said that. She nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Lu, my family has a wasteland, and the harvest is good, but it's too hard, so I want to buy a tractor, but the tractor costs a lot of diesel."
"It's not easy to afford a tractor in your family's past conditions. It can be seen that you have suffered a lot. People are not scared of being poor, but they are afraid of being poor. You don't have to worry about Mu Xiu, tractors and diesel. Everyone is willing to help young people who are motivated and hard-working." Lu Niandong said sighing.
