The film projection team finally arrived to the expectation of the whole village.
There were only three people in total, carrying heavy equipment. They were warmly welcomed by the Xiangshui Village Brigade, and the team entertained them with food.
They came to the Xiangshui Village Brigade at the right time, as everyone worked for half a day and then had a holiday.
When the projection team pulled up the screen on the threshing ground, the members were eager to help.
However, the film projection equipment was very precious, so they didn’t dare to let so many people touch it. In the end, everyone could only watch.
Some asked what movie was being shown today, and some asked which brigade they would go to next.
They have a few days off in the next few days and can catch up with other teams to watch a few shows.
In the afternoon, Yi Qingqing and the others also went to the threshing ground to watch the fun. It was still early, but the threshing ground was already very lively.
They heard that the movie to be shown was “The Red Women’s Army”.
“Why do some people look a little unfamiliar?”
Li Mengxue and the others were standing on a high ridge at the edge of the threshing ground, and they could see the crowd below clearly.
“They should be from other villages!” Yi Qingqing said.
She said again, “We have to eat dinner early in the evening, and then come early to reserve seats. I’m afraid there will be more people coming by then.”
It was really too lively, even more popular than the movie theaters in later generations.
“Let’s go, let’s hurry up, and come back after dinner. I heard that the people from other teams who came now are all relatives who have good relationships in our team. There will definitely be a lot of people coming later. The nearby teams are all on holiday today!” Qian Lailai, who had just gone downstairs to inquire around, ran back and urged them to go back and eat quickly.
Anyway, there was nothing to do this afternoon, so it was okay to eat early. There were snacks to eat in the evening, so they were not afraid of being hungry later if they ate early. Everyone listened to her and walked away in a hurry.
When they went back and had dinner early, they brought snacks, flashlights, small stools, and benches to the threshing ground.
There were more people on the threshing ground. Many villagers came, and there were also many unfamiliar faces.
The favorable position in front of the screen had been occupied by others. It wasn’t even dark yet!
They had no choice but to choose the mound where they had stood before. It was higher here, and although it was a bit far from the curtain, at least, they would not be blocked by others.
They were not nearsighted, so they were not afraid of not seeing clearly.
Seven people sat here in a row. They sat high up and could see far away. The movie hadn’t started yet, so it was nice to watch the lively crowd below.
“It takes about an hour for the nearest team to get here. After watching the movie, they have to walk back in the dark. How tiring!” Li Mengxue sighed.
She was amazed by people’s enthusiasm for watching movies in this era. In later generations, let alone watching movies, even if the takeout is delivered downstairs, they think that it is too far and are too lazy to pick it up.
Yi Qingqing nodded, eating melon seeds while watching the excitement.
There were children running around the field, a man who brought several benches to occupy seats for his whole family, young men and women who took the opportunity to watch each other, and people who gathered in front of the projector to see the novelty and chat with the projectionist.
The movie hadn’t started yet, but she found it very interesting already. It was rare for her to have the opportunity and leisure to observe the crowd openly.
As the night fell and it was completely dark, the screen finally lit up.
The noisy threshing ground became quiet, and the movie finally started.
