One hundred and ninety-three popcorn

"Brother, captain, you two tell me quickly, what's going on, why are those educated youths fighting?" Xie Zhiying showed a gossipy expression.

"Isn't it because one of the male educated youths flirted with this one and then that one, making the two female educated youths jealous because of him, so they started fighting?"

"Is that the educated youth named Zhang Dongyan?" After hearing what the brigade leader said, Xie Zhiyuan first thought of Zhang Dongyan.

"Who else but him!" the captain said angrily.

"Why him? Brother, please tell me." Hearing this, Xie Zhiying became more curious and pestered his elder brother like a child.

Several people chatted for a while, satisfying Xie Zhiying's curiosity.

The captain took the tea packed for him by Xie Zhiyuan and prepared to leave.

"We won't chat for a while anymore. Besides, I have to deal with the affairs of the educated youth when I get back now, so just stay a little longer!" Xie Zhiyuan said to persuade him to stay.

"No, I can't stay idle. The primary school in the village is on holiday. I went over to take a look yesterday. The tables, chairs and benches in the primary school are not stable. There are many holes on many tables. There is nothing to repair today.

.

I just want to hide from those educated youths so that they can come to me to make decisions if they have any minor issues. I have all the tools with me."

"Then let's go there together. We can work together quickly. Besides, I can go over and help you, hand you a tool or something."

"OK."

Several people hammered and hammered for a long time before repairing what could be repaired.

"Let the carpenter punch two boards another day and change the tabletop." Looking at the large and small holes on several tables, Xie Zhiyuan said.

"Well, it's time to change it. Several children in the village have complained to me. It's impossible to write on these tables, and the notebooks have become bumpy." The captain also nodded in agreement, anyway.

It's not a very troublesome thing.

When Xie Zhiyuan was about to go back, the captain stopped him: "Zhiyuan, wait a moment."

"Captain, what else can you do?"

"Zhiyuan, I heard yesterday that my eldest grandson said that the popcorn fryer in the commune was going to the countryside. Will he come to our brigade this year?"

"I'm really not sure about this."

"Zhiyuan, I remember that you are an acquaintance with the popcorn popper, could you tell him to come to our place again this year?

Of course, I won’t let him suffer, and the reward he deserves will definitely not be less.”

"Captain, you have to ask Zhiying about this. The person who is more familiar with the popcorn popper is Zhiying."

"Zhiying, look..." The captain looked at Xie Zhiying eagerly.

"Okay, this is not a big deal. I will go to the commune tomorrow and ask him when he is free?" Xie Zhiying agreed readily, and then asked: "Will there be any movies in the village this year? I listen.

A buddy of mine said that if he wants to find someone to show the movie, he has nothing to do the day after tomorrow. If our village wants to show the movie, he can join the queue for our village."

"Okay, okay, what do the comrades from the commune need to prepare when they come to show a movie? I'll get ready right away." After hearing Xie Zhiying's words, the captain also opened his mouth. You must know that showing a movie at this time is not a simple matter.

You have to go to the commune to apply, and you have to queue up after applying. You still don’t know when it will be your turn.

Their village didn't have a turn last year, so they went all the way to a village 20 miles away to see it.

"Don't worry, the village will handle the matter of treating the comrades showing the movie to dinner." the team leader assured again.

Xie Zhiying smiled and waved his hand: "Captain, this is not a big deal. It's just a meal. Besides, it's to entertain my friends."

After the discussion was completed, Xie Zhiying, who had sharp eyes, saw several black figures in the distance.

"Brother, brother, look at the people coming over there, are they the group of educated youths you mentioned?" Xie Zhiying has never seen those group of educated youths, but he knows the people in the village. Those people coming over now are obviously not

people in the village.

"Let me take a look, it's really them."

"It's broken!" The captain slapped his thigh, "It's broken. They must have done something wrong again and came to me for comment again. Didn't I tell them everything? Don't tell them I'm here. Who's talking too much?

Said it out."

Then he gave the tool in his hand to Xie Zhiyuan, "Please help me put the tool back. I have to run away first. Don't say you saw me."

After saying this and searching, no one could be seen.

Xie Zhiying was stunned at the captain's performance, "Brother, what is this?"

"It's okay, the captain was scared, so we went back." Xie Zhiyuan didn't want to meet the group of educated youths. When he saw that the captain was missing, he wanted to leave too.

But I didn't expect that the group of educated youths had already come running over.

"Comrade, have you seen the captain?"

"Captain, someone has trouble with him and has left."

"Ah! We just found out that the captain was repairing something here, why did he leave? Do you know where the captain went?"

"I don't know, someone suddenly came to see him just now, and he left." Xie Zhiyuan said without changing his expression.

"Really or not? Why did I see there were three of you here just now? The captain was hiding from us, right? When he saw us coming, he left quickly." Zhang Dongyan didn't quite believe what the Xie brothers said.

.

"Then I don't know. You have to ask the captain about this matter. We can't control it. The work is done and we have to go home for dinner." After saying that, the two of them left straight away.

"Zhang Zhiqing, look at their attitude. After all, we went to the countryside to support them." Xu Xiaoyu stamped her feet and said angrily.

"Don't be acquainted with them. Let's go to the captain's house to look for them." Zhang Dongyan looked at the backs of the two people, his eyes a little sinister, but he turned around and comforted Xu Xiaoyu with a smile.

But all this has nothing to do with the Xie family.

Within a few days, there was a man in his 40s carrying a load. Inside the load was something black and shiny like a cannonball.

After arriving, the man greeted Xie Zhiying and declined the suggestion to go home for a drink first.

"Let's pop the popcorn first. The children are already waiting impatiently. There's no rush to eat." After saying that, the man put down the pick, put the stove on the ground, and got everything ready.

When they heard that the popcorn poppers were coming, all the men, women, and children in the village ran home to get the rice.

Since those smart children learned that people would be popping popcorn in the village these two days, they had already pestered their families to prepare rice kernels.

No, as soon as people arrived, he took advantage of others to watch the fun and hurried back to get the prepared rice.
