Chapter 55 Movie
"Let's not do it next time. I'm not cut out for this."
Du Ruo smiled, waved his hand and prepared to leave. He was still being polite at first, but there was no need to continue being polite now that he was out.
"No, no, no, Mr. Du, you misunderstood. You know I work in finance, and I usually come into contact with successful people. They are the richest people, but they are also the most likely to cause trouble. I want to leave your contact information. We may have the possibility of cooperation in the future. Don't rush to refuse. No one would feel bad about money, right? And no one can force you if you don't want to."
Seeing Du Ruo was about to leave, Li Yu took two quick steps forward, hastily explaining that her attitude was no longer one of blind dating, but one of cooperation, and she was treating Du Ruo on the same level.
"also!"
Du Ruo stopped walking when he heard this. He had not really thought about this before, but now that Li Yu said it, it made some sense. No one would feel bad about money, and Du Ruo was certainly no exception. Especially since practicing martial arts consumed more and more energy, if he didn't generate any income, he might not be able to support himself.
What's more, after embarking on the path of martial arts, Du Ruo would often think about using his hands to release the anger in his heart, and it would be even better if he could make money at the same time.
Just like what happened in the coffee shop just now, if it was before, he would definitely say a few polite words and leave, but just now, he almost subconsciously wanted to use some means, which led to the incident of breaking the cup, and he even consumed a wisp of "Qi" for this purpose, in order to increase the strength of his fingers while protecting them from harm.
The two moved closer and exchanged contact information. Du Ruo couldn't help but sniff it again.
There was a faint milky aroma with a hint of fishy smell, and Du Ruo was immediately certain of his guess.
After exchanging contact information, Du Ruo drove away alone.
"Hey~ Mom, the blind date is over. I'm staying in Yangjia Village tonight and I'm not going back."
In the car, Du Ruo called her mother. She had to tell her about it no matter what.
"So soon? Did you have a good talk with them? Don't you even invite them to dinner or a movie?"
My mother had a lot of questions and even regretted not talking to Du Ruo more about how to go on a blind date.
"Ahem, Mom, do you like kids?"
Du Ruo couldn't help but interrupt and asked a seemingly unrelated question. Originally, Du Ruo didn't want to say anything nonsense. If the blind date didn't work out, there was no need to make up stories about others behind their backs. If he didn't like the person himself, maybe there would be others who didn't want to try anymore?
"Like it? Don't worry, your dad and I can still hold on for a few more years, and there will be no problem taking care of the child."
My mother said it with great confidence.
"If she has a baby who is a few months old, would you want one too? Well...it should be less than three months old. Maybe in ten months, he will be able to call her grandma."
Du Ruo replied calmly, it’s not that you can’t bring children with you on a blind date, but you can’t bring such a young child, and the woman may even have someone behind her. These things are not the same concept, and the focus is not even on the child.
"Uh... Really, how can this Lao Xu be so unreliable? He even told me that the other person is well educated, highly capable, and beautiful..."
When my mother heard this, she understood the reason and started complaining immediately.
"Okay, mom, Aunt Xu probably doesn't know the other person's situation. This woman is indeed good-looking, well-educated, and rich. We are just not suitable for each other. Don't tell anyone about it. Okay, that's it. I'll drive."
Du Ruo gave a reminder and hung up the phone.
To be honest, Li Yu, this woman, didn't really intend to cheat anyone when she put forward those conditions. Others didn't go there to get married, but to find a father for their children who was reasonable and legal and could shut up other people. It can only be said that he was not suitable.
After hanging up the phone, Du Ruo didn't care anymore. After what happened during the blind date, his mother probably wouldn't introduce him to any blind dates for a while. Du Ruo drove to the entrance of the village, and before he stopped the car, he saw Yang Chenguang and the other two busy in the middle of the square.
"Chen Guang, what are you doing? Is there a performance tonight?"
Du Ruo parked the car outside the yard and walked over.
"What? There's a movie showing in the village tonight. Remember to come and watch it then."
Yang Chenguang had sweat on his forehead. When he saw Du Ruo coming, he did not stop and helped to raise a movie screen.
"Ah? Is anyone watching now?"
Du Ruo looked at the screen. He had the impression that showing movies in the village was a thing of the past. He didn't expect that it still existed now. It was also his fault that he had been away from home for all these years and had not paid much attention to it.
"I don't know about other places, but our village is okay. We have quite a few tourists, and they are quite interested in this. Later in the evening, there are people selling popcorn and iced cola nearby. It's quite lively. Come, help me move some stools to the small warehouse in the village."
Yang Chenguang explained that there are actually targets for showing movies in the village, and that a certain number of movies must be shown in the countryside every year to enrich rural entertainment life.
Yang Chenguang discovered a few years ago that showing movies could boost the surrounding areas. Even some tourists in the town would come to watch out of curiosity. So he thought about it and found a place to promote the village. Every month he took the initiative to apply for people to come down to show the movies.
We even bought some stools and placed them in front of the curtain to avoid the embarrassment of having no place to sit when tourists come and not being able to stay.
"Okay, I haven't seen a movie like this in years. Let's have a drink together tonight?"
Du Ruo smiled and followed to move the stool.
As the sun sets, the lights in the small square come on, and many villagers come out to sell goods.
I have to say that Yang Chenguang, the village cadre, is doing a really good job. The villagers who are selling goods are very organized. Some are selling balloons, popsicles, Coke and popcorn. They are not noisy. They just quietly set up their goods in the planned places, waiting for people to buy them.
In the afternoon, Du Ruo and Yang Chenguang not only moved the stools over, but also washed the square with water. This not only cleaned the place, but also had the effect of cooling it down. With several large fans blowing on the side, it would be really comfortable if you bought an ice cream.
And it's not just the square. Du Ruo discovered that even the taverns and some other shops put tables and chairs outside, adding a breath of life to the square.
Du Ruo, Yang Chenguang and Xiang Yuanyuan were sitting outside drinking, watching "King of the Sky" playing on the screen not far away. More and more people were gathering around.
Du Ruo saw not only the usual villagers, but also two tourists staying in the homestay, and many tourists from the town who came specifically to watch the movie.
"That's why I like this place, the beautiful scenery and the atmosphere of life."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't drink strong liquor today, which was a rare occasion. Instead, she clinked glasses with Du Ruo and Yang Chenguang while holding an ice beer.
"It was probably only 20 years ago that so many people would come to watch a movie. It's really great."
Du Ruo was also quite emotional. These people came to watch not the movie itself, but more of a novel experience.
