Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

"Grandpa, what are you doing sitting here?"

Li Shangen paused, quickly pushed himself up, patted his trouser leg, and greeted, "Dongwa's back."

Shen Dong got out of the car and walked up to Li Shangen. "Yes, Hu Zi hasn't gotten off work yet. I figured I didn't have anything to do, so I came back first."

Knowing what Li Shangen was going to ask, he continued, "Hu Zi did a good job. The purchase price today was not high at all. He put in a lot of effort."

Li Shangen listened intently, and when he heard Shen Dong praise his grandson, he grinned and said, "That's good, that's good! But if he doesn't do a good job, don't be shy about telling him. If his father won't beat him, I will."

That's true. Li Hu has friends all over the surrounding production teams, which means he often doesn't go home after school and goes to play in other people's teams. If he goes home, he'll definitely get a beating.

So when Shen Dong went to play with Li Hu when he was a child, he often found him being beaten.

He could recite Uncle Cai's words by heart: "Dongwa's here! Wait a minute, you can play together after we're done beating him up! Look at him, then look at you, you're so wild, you just have to go out and play, it's just that you haven't been beaten enough..."

"Ah...ah...Father, I was wrong, Father! Ah..."

Even now, Shen Dong can't help but laugh when he thinks about it.

After Li Shangen finished speaking, he rubbed his hands together, opened his mouth again, and showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

Seeing this, Shen Dong knew that someone wanted to talk to him about something, so he smiled and said, "Grandpa, just tell me what it is, and I'll definitely help if I can."

Li Shangen's face flushed red, and he stammered, "Dongwa, do you...do you know the projectionist at the commune? We've finished the farm work, and I was thinking it would be great to show a movie. Could you see if you can find some connections to talk to him..."

Shen Dong had very little memory of showing movies, so he asked, "When was the last time we showed a movie?"

"They haven't come for a year and a half! Red Star let us through in the first half of the year, and we thought it would be our turn to be in line, but they still haven't come."

These days, watching a movie is a rare treat. When a movie is shown, the village is even more lively than during the Spring Festival market.

This led to every production team wanting a projectionist to come over, but resources were limited, which explains why Li Shangen became increasingly angry as he spoke.

Shen Dong smiled upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand. I'll go ask and let you know when I have any news."

"Sigh, thank you for your trouble, Dongwa." Li Shangen looked around again and whispered, "Remember the gifts you gave; they'll be on the team's payroll later."

"Okay!" Seeing that it was still early, Shen Dong simply turned around and went back to the factory.

"Old Huang, do you know about that film projection team that the county arranged?"

"I know, our commune's projectionist is called Little Zhou Zhou Wu Niu." He laughed as he spoke, staring at Shen Dong and chuckling.

*Clap!* Shen Dong clapped his hands, realizing what was happening. "Wu Yang...?"

"elder brother!"

"Got it, has Wuyang left yet?"

"Not yet..."

Knowing about this connection, Shen Dong chuckled. It really was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just about to fall asleep.

On Friday, Yang was packing his things and had just changed his clothes when he saw Shen Dong approaching. He paused for a moment, then asked, "The factory manager hasn't left yet?"

"I left, but I'm back. I've come to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Wuyang asked as he put the clothes in the closet and turned around.

"Your brother, isn't he the projectionist in our commune? I'd like to ask him to show a movie for our commune. Is your brother home right now?"

"Now?" Zhou Wuyang said, glancing at the clock on the wall in the cafeteria. "He might not be home; it'll be a little later."

"No rush. I'm going to buy some things. Why don't you come with me and give me some advice?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuyang laughed and said, "That's a good idea. I'll just go over and mooch a meal."

Following Zhou Wuyang's advice, Shen Dong didn't buy much. He bought two jin of pig's head meat, a bowl of peanuts, and some braised meat. He also tucked two packs of Hongqi cigarettes and carried two bottles of Pengcheng baijiu.

Friday Sheep and his brother Friday Ox have separated from their family. Both of them are "successful in their careers," so they both live in the commune, not far from each other.

On Friday, Niu was squatting in the yard, wiping the projector. He didn't even look up when his younger brother called him.

"Brother, Comrade Shen Dong from our factory is here."

Upon hearing the familiar name, Zhou Wuniu immediately stood up. He had just reached out to greet him when he noticed his hands were greasy. He smiled sheepishly, grabbed a tattered rag, and vigorously wiped them clean.

"Hello, Comrade Shen Dong, I've heard so much about you!"

"Brother Zhou, you don't deserve this!" Releasing his grip, Shen Dong and Zhou Wuyang placed the things they were carrying on the table.

On Friday, Niu asked his younger brother a question, and on Friday, Yang gestured towards Shen Dong with his lip.

"Brother Zhou, I've come to ask you for a favor."

"Comrade Shen Dong, please speak."

The group sat down, and Zhou Wuyang found a few bowls, poured the wine into them, and then poured the dishes into a basin. They ate and chatted as they ate.

"The autumn planting season has just ended, and I was thinking about whether we could invite a film projection team to show a movie in our Hongqi Production Team. The people in the team really want to see it, so I can only ask Wuyang to come and find Brother Zhou."

On Friday, Niu, a large, burly man with a big face and a thick neck, slammed his chopsticks on the table upon hearing this. "Is that all? No problem at all, tomorrow! I'll bring people over to release them tomorrow."

"That's wonderful! Come on, Brother Zhou, let me toast you!"

On Friday, Niu quickly pressed down on Shen Dong's bowl, deliberately putting on a stern face and saying, "Comrade Shen Dong, you can't be so formal."

Zhou Wuyang quickly chimed in, "Factory manager, we're all on the same side, it's easy to talk. Everyone, have some vegetables!"

"Okay! Eat up!" Shen Dong said with a smile, and Zhou Wuniu laughed along, "That's right, in the future, if the team wants to watch a movie, just tell Wuyang and pass on the message."

"The braised pig's head in the cafeteria is really good!"

"I bought it especially because I knew Brother Zhou liked it."

Zhou Wu Niu smiled and nodded, "You, don't do it next time, just eat whatever you like."

After dinner, I told Li Shangen about the movie screening tomorrow, and Li Shangen was so excited that he announced the news over a loudspeaker.

"Brother, can we really watch a movie tomorrow?" Shen Min was overjoyed, jumping around Shen Dong as she asked.

"Yes, I've already chosen 'Tunnel Warfare' as the movie! You like watching it too?"

"I love it! Everything looks good! Don't you like it, bro? I remember last time the team showed a movie, Mom told you to go home and finish your homework before coming, but you absolutely refused."

"Alas, it's a pity Mother won't be able to see the movie..."

Seeing the desolation in Shen Min's eyes, Shen Dong pulled her close, rubbed her head, and said gently, "Mother would be happy to see the life we're living now."

The next morning, the Hongqi production team was bustling with activity. None of the children wanted to go to school, and they only went after being beaten by their parents, looking back every few steps.

Because today, the team is going to have a big event: showing a movie.

Everyone, big and small, eagerly awaits the arrival of the bull on Friday.
