Travel back to the 80s to farm

Chapter 98 Open Air Movie

After dawn, the tranquility of the village was broken by the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking. As the morning light appeared, a red sun gradually peeked out from the horizon, like a shy child, slowly unveiling its mysterious veil. The sun shone on the earth, covering the entire village with a layer of golden gauze.

With the first rays of sunshine, there were shouts from the village entrance: "Tofu! Fresh tofu!" This voice echoed in the air like a melodious melody, awakening the sleeping people. At the same time, another crisp and pleasant "ding-ling" sound rang in the ears, that was the sound of bicycle bells, as if telling everyone that a new day had officially begun.

Villagers went out of their homes and started their day's work. Some carried hoes to the fields to prepare for farming; some carried buckets to the river to wash clothes; and some children carried schoolbags and ran to school happily. The streets and alleys were filled with a strong atmosphere of life, and everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

When Shen Jing came home last night, her lips were swollen badly. Fortunately, Teacher Zhang and the others had already fallen asleep and did not see her like this!

"Hehe, all men in the eighties were like this..." Shen Jing looked at her lips which were still a little red and swollen in the mirror, and couldn't help but mutter to herself coquettishly.

"But it doesn't matter, I just want to give him a little modern shock..." The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. Thinking of what happened last night, a sense of satisfaction surged in her heart.

Shen Jing gently stroked her lips, recalling the passionate kiss last night. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Oh, I can't think about it anymore. I have to wash up and go to the factory." She patted her cheek and packed up hurriedly.

After breakfast, Shen Jing went to the factory with her small bag.

When Lin Xiaoli saw Shen Jing, she immediately ran over and asked, "Sister Shen Jing, how is the house building thing I told you about yesterday going?"

"Well, Xiaoli, I've written a letter to my dad to ask a designer to help with the design drawings. Once the drawings arrive, we'll go find the construction workers. What do you think?" Shen Jing replied with a smile.

"Oh, so that's the case. I thought you forgot...forgot..." Lin Xiaoli said a little embarrassedly.

Shen Jing said: "Xiao Li, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, just wait patiently!"

Lin Xiaoli stuck out her tongue: "Well, thank you, Sister Shen Jing! I'll get busy now!"

"Ding-ling-ling——" The postman came to the door of Shen Jing's factory and shouted, "Shen Jing, come out for a moment, there is a letter for you..."

After hearing this, Shen Jing responded cheerfully: "I am here! Please wait for a moment, I have a letter to send out..."

"Shen Jing, sign here!" The postman took out a notebook and a pen with a smile on his face, and said to Shen Jing in a casual tone, pointing to the corresponding position on the notebook.

"Oh, okay!" Shen Jing nodded politely, then took the notebook and pen and quickly signed her name in the designated place.

"Here, this is the letter I want to send!" Shen Jing said as she carefully took out a letter from her bag and handed it to the young man.

"Okay, have you put the stamp on it?" The postman carefully checked the envelope, looked up at Shen Jing and asked softly.

"Well...it hasn't been posted yet!" Shen Jing smiled a little embarrassedly and answered truthfully.

"How about this, you pay me 1.2 yuan and I'll go to the post office to put the stamp on it for you, is that okay?" the postman suggested kindly.

Hearing this, Shen Jing took out a one-yuan bill and two dimes from her bag without hesitation and handed them to the postman, indicating that she agreed with his suggestion.

"Okay! Thank you for your cooperation!" The postman happily took the money, then carefully put the letter into the mail bag, turned around quickly, got on his bicycle, and rode away.

"In this day and age, it is so inconvenient without mobile phones and telephones! I wonder if our factory has the conditions to install a telephone?" Shen Jing thought to herself as she absentmindedly tore open the letter in her hand.

At this moment, the village party secretary Lin Anbei stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Shen Jing, the city sent people here today, saying that they want to show movies in our village to express their care and condolences to everyone!" His voice revealed excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Shen Jing was also very happy after hearing this: "Well, that's great, but our factory is a little small, why don't we go to the threshing ground in our village to watch it?"

"Well, that's fine. I'll let Yiping arrange it!" Lin Anbei said and walked outside.

In the evening, the sun sets and its afterglow falls on the earth. In the open space of the village, an open-air movie "A Happy Family" is being performed.

The villagers brought small stools, and even people from other nearby villages came to watch the movie. Some people who didn't bring stools just pulled a few straws and sat on the ground, and some young people climbed on the haystacks. The half-acre field was crowded with people. The villagers sat around the screen, immersed in the wonderful plot of the movie.

"This movie is so good!" Villager A couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yeah, it feels like we're back to our childhood." Villager B echoed.

Shen Jing was also deeply attracted by the movie, and personally felt the simplicity and happiness of this era. As the plot developed, her mood also fluctuated, sometimes laughing, sometimes moved.

After the movie ended, Shen Jing and Lin Yiping strolled home while enthusiastically discussing the film they had just watched.

"This movie made me feel deeply about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times!" Shen Jing said with emotion.

"I feel the same way, Xiaojing, don't worry, my mother will never treat you like that. I have already told her!" Lin Yiping's eyes sparkled.

Along the way, they talked about their beautiful visions for the future, imagining that they could have a happy family, a successful career, and a fulfilling and interesting life. Everyone's face was filled with bright smiles, full of confidence and hope for the future.

After returning home, Shen Jing lay on the warm bed, but the scenes in the movie and the conversation with Lin Yiping were still echoing in her mind. She knew that life would not always be smooth sailing, and she would inevitably encounter various difficulties and setbacks. But just like the protagonists in the movie, as long as she maintained a positive attitude and faced challenges bravely, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

"Life may not be satisfactory, but I will never give up easily." Shen Jing secretly told herself. She clenched her fists tightly and cheered herself up. On this quiet night, Shen Jing made up her mind to work hard to pursue her dreams and make the future days better.

She knows that there will always be challenges and difficulties in life, which are especially unfriendly to women, but as long as she has hope and works hard, she will be able to create a better tomorrow.
