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

"Dunzi, tie the rope securely!"

"Dunzi, check the films again, make sure there are no problems."

"Dunzi..."

As soon as it got dark, Zhou Wuniu directed his men to set up the site.

The team members were also actively helping out, carrying poles, adjusting screens, and everyone was busy and having a great time.

The children had just finished school when the bell rang and they had already run back at top speed, ignoring their parents' instructions to do their homework, and all gathered in the square.

The boys are playing beanbag toss over here, while the girls are playing jump rope over there.

The adults gathered in twos and threes, discussing the plot of the upcoming movie "Tunnel Warfare," which they had watched at the neighboring Hongxing Production Team earlier this year.

The women brought their own stools and secured front-row seats early on.

"Brother, over here!" Shen Min was chatting with Shen Nan and Shen Hong when she saw her brother arrive. She immediately stood up and waved her little hand.

Shen Dong walked over with a smile and found that all the children in the family were there, as were his eldest sister Shen Die and brother-in-law Hong Sheng. He greeted them, "Eldest sister, brother-in-law, you're all here."

It was already late November, and Shen Die was six months pregnant. Her face was glowing with maternal warmth. She smiled gently and said, "It's so lively here. I can't stay idle at home, so I had to come and see."

"Brother, please sit down." Shen Min moved several stools and pulled Shen Dong to sit down.

Shen Nan quietly approached him: "Brother, are you free tomorrow morning? I'd like to come to the factory to talk to you about something."

Shen Dong didn't ask what it was about, and simply replied, "Sure, come over tomorrow morning."

As they were talking, Li Hu arrived with Li Ying, who was also holding sunflower seeds and popping them into their mouths.

Shen Min invited her friends to sit down together, and Li Hu sat down next to Shen Dong.

He spread his hands and poured a handful of sunflower seeds for Shen Dong.

"Where did Tao Guiping buy it?"

"Yes, wasn't this the suggestion you made to her? Why are you asking me?"

Shen Dong smiled, looked around, and saw a short figure weaving through the crowd, stopping every now and then to take something out of a bamboo basket.

After making arrangements with Zhou Niu yesterday, he thought of arranging for someone to come and sell melon seeds, fruit candies, and the like today. After thinking it over, he decided to help Tao Guiping out again.

So she asked for her opinion early on. Tao Guiping was naturally very willing, but she still refused Shen Dong because she didn't have the money.

Shen Dong noticed her predicament and lent her money under the pretext of receiving an advance on his salary. He also helped her estimate the amount, which led to the scene before her.

Before long, Tao Guiping asked them one by one.

"Auntie, want some melon seeds? A small handful for one cent, a large handful for two cents." There were two scoops in the bamboo basket, one large and one small.

"Little Flower, give me a big one. Auntie, you want a turn too?"

"Okay, give me the small one!"

Tao Guiping quickly poured the melon seeds into his hand. The large ladle was so big that he had to hold it up; he couldn't carry it all by himself and needed someone to help him catch it.

"Wow, so many! Give me a couple too!"

"And how much are these fruit candies? I'll buy two for my grandson."

"Sir, these fruit candies are two for one cent, and they come in different flavors."

"Sure, give me some of everything!"

"..."

Showing a movie was a big event in the village, and everyone was making a ruckus. Soon, everyone was grabbing a handful of coins and a few, and before long, the bamboo baskets were almost empty.

Fruit hard candies are a hot commodity, and they're basically all gone. There are only a few sunflower seeds left. Maybe when the movie starts, the Red Star from next door will come over, and we can sell some more.

After everyone had left, Tao Guiping carried the basket to Shen Dong's place.

"Factory Manager," Tao Guiping greeted, putting down the basket and taking a small bag out of his pocket.

Upon opening it, I found quite a few sunflower seeds inside.

"Here you go, thank you, factory manager. I saved this for you on purpose."

Shen Dong smiled and took it: "No need to thank me. This money was also an advance on your salary. I only did a little bit of work."

After reporting the incident, Tao Damao and Tao Ermao hid outside for a while. Now, the two brothers were sitting in the back rows and saw Tao Guiping's grateful expression, which made them very unhappy.

Tao Ermao said sourly, "Hmph, who cares about such a small amount of money!"

The voice wasn't loud, and Tao Ermao thought no one heard it. Unexpectedly, the person next to him heard it and immediately retorted: "You don't care? Xiaohua earns money on her own, while you two are just loafing around all day. Last time you reported Dongwa, they didn't even come after you, and you're still making sarcastic remarks."

The two brothers, having been rebuked and burdened by their pent-up resentment, completely forgot their father's instructions and jumped to their feet.

"What, can't we say that? All he did was call the film projection team over, look how much you're praising him."

Tao Damao rolled his eyes and continued, "That's right, I'm going to tell my uncle that the film projection team can stay at our team's place, believe it or not?"

"Tch!" The two raised their voices, which immediately displeased those around them. "Why don't you tell your uncle?"

"Exactly, if you can get the film projection team to stay, you two brothers will be the next team leader. Do you dare to say that?"

Just as Tao Damao was about to speak, he was slapped hard on the head.

"Go back!"

Tao Aihui had just chatted with Zhou Wuniu for a while, thinking that if they got along well, he could come to the team more often in the future, when he heard Gou'er making a fuss. He immediately became furious.

"Tao Aihui, why are you hitting your son? Can't you talk things out?" Wang Shuangfeng rushed out from the side, immediately hugging the two brothers and looking them over from left to right: "Does it hurt?"

"Ouch! Mom, Dad hit me and told me to get out of here, and he won't let me watch the movie!"

When Tao Damao saw that his backer had arrived, he immediately started yelling.

Wang Shuangfeng looked up, about to speak, when Tao Aihui glared at her and said, "Everyone's here today, how long are you going to let them embarrass themselves like this?!"

Wang Shuangfeng had actually overheard the two brothers talking without thinking, and she was indeed put on hold. However, she felt that the two brothers were just children, and even if they said something outrageous, the team shouldn't treat them like that. So she still wanted to let the matter drop.

But seeing Tao Aihui's murderous gaze, he still held back.

"Let's go first, we'll come back when your dad's calmed down."

Wang Shuangfeng gave the two brothers some instructions, and then the two slunk away.

After a short while, the movie finally started.

Shen Dong was also able to relive this classic movie, but his impression of it was the black-and-white rebroadcast on CCTV5 in later years; he could no longer remember the scene of this open-air screen.

It wasn't until this past month, with each day repeating itself, that the memories deep within my mind gradually came back to life.

The entire square was completely silent, save for the echoing sound of loudspeakers, and everyone was watching with great interest.

The people from the neighboring Hongxing production team didn't bring stools; they squatted behind the crowd and watched quietly.

The moonlight spilled onto the square where rice was being dried, and everything was so peaceful, like a painting that recorded the passage of time.
