Chapter 135 The threshold was broken [Seeking follow-up]
A video recorder, what a rare thing!
Especially in the rural areas of the mainland in this era.
Lu Yang's situation was not so bad. After the news leaked out, few people dared to come to him with flattering faces. But Yin Zhuangzhuang's situation was not so good. His father was the village party secretary, and his job was to serve the villagers. Moreover, the old village party secretary had been the village party secretary for 30 years, and the villagers had already figured out his temper.
They just went there to watch a movie and were not afraid that the old village party secretary would kick them out.
So, I didn’t wait for more than three days.
Even the threshold of Yin Zhuangzhuang's house was broken.
As soon as daytime arrives, the yard is full of people, mostly old widows, old widowers, single idlers, young wives, and child kings. These types of villagers do not have to do farm work and have plenty of time. They shamelessly beg Yin Zhuangzhuang to show a movie at a certain time. Don't be stingy. The key is that you can't chase them away, especially the old widows and old widowers. If you dare to chase them away, they will point at your nose and scold you for a long time, saying whatever nasty things they want.
Less than a week.
Yin Zhuangzhuang's nerves began to weaken and he lost several pounds.
When Lu Yang remembered it one day and went to see him, he was shocked.
"Brother, please save me."
Yin Zhuangzhuang asked Lu Yang to help him come up with an idea.
Lu Yang asked him, "You have been showing films to old widows and bachelors for a week straight, so you must have mastered the technique, right?"
"I'm proficient at it, I'm sure I'm proficient at it!"
Yin Zhuangzhuang patted his chest and made the promise.
Lu Yang looked down on her and said, "Why are you so stupid? If there is no video recorder at home, there will be no one blocking the door, right?"
Seeing that he still doesn't understand.
He then said, "Hasn't your appearance already been selected? I asked you to take it slow before because I wanted you to get familiar with the process of playing movies on a VCR. Now you have been practicing for a week, so you should be familiar with it. What are you waiting for?"
"Yeah! What am I waiting for?"
Yin Zhuangzhuang slapped his head, suddenly realized, turned around and walked into the house: "Fuck, I don't want to serve these people anymore, brother, you don't know how rude those old women and widows are, they don't even consider themselves women, words that make a grown man like me embarrassed to hear, but they can just lift up their clothes and say whatever they want, brother, don't you think it's infuriating?"
"Okay, it's okay now."
"I'll move the VCR to town and see how they can bother me. Humph, a bunch of old women, bah."
This guy is incredibly fast.
While finishing his words.
One of them came out holding a video recorder.
"Let's go now, brother. Although the house in town has not been rented yet, I have already negotiated with the landlord. It's okay to move in a few days earlier. I will go to him to sign the contract tomorrow."
Lu Yang had no objection either.
Since I had nothing to do, I thought it would be a good idea to go to town, so I walked up to him and helped him pack up the discs.
Yin Zhuangzhuang was holding the VCR, talking nonstop. Suddenly he remembered something funny and said to Lu Yang, "Brother, if my dad comes back and sees that the VCR is gone, will he be disappointed? He's been obsessed with this movie lately. Humph, who told him that he can't control his own villagers? Hehe, now if my dad wants to watch a movie in the future, he can only go to the town to watch it."
Look how happy he is.
Lu Yang looked at his back and said, "Zhuangzhuang, you'd better stop talking. Actually, this is nothing. Uncle is a village cadre and often has to go to the town for meetings. After that, he comes to the video hall to rest and watch a movie for entertainment. It's actually quite good. But Zhuangzhuang, let's make a deal. You are not allowed to really cheat your father and sell it to others. We have already set the price. You will charge others 50 cents for a movie. You said you would charge your father 2 yuan for a movie. I think you should just forget it and let your father watch it for free, so that Uncle won't be unhappy after knowing the truth."
Yin Zhuangzhuang didn't understand and said, "Brother, what you said is not right. My father is willing to give me more money, so we just take it. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will beat you?" Lu Yang shook his head and pointed behind him: "Brother, I am afraid that he will beat you."
The voice just fell.
Yin Zhuangzhuang's body froze in place.
Oh no, there is murderous intent behind this, "Um, Dad, I was just joking, Dad, you have to believe me, woo woo woo."
I want to cry but have no tears!
At this moment, he was looking at his good friend Lu Yang with a resentful look on his face.
Then his father's voice rang out from behind him: "It's a two-dollar movie, right? It's very good and not expensive. I'll go next time."
"Humph, why don't you get out of here? Do you want to stay at home and eat breakfast?"
"Or do you want to wait for someone to block the door?"
Yin Zhuangzhuang felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly turned around, stuck his butt out and bowed deeply to his father several times, then picked up the video camera and ran away.
Lu Yang shook his head.
He said to the old village party secretary at the door: "Don't worry, uncle. Zhuangzhuang is just a little erratic, but he still has the acumen to do business. With me watching over him, nothing will go wrong."
The old village secretary's expression eased a little, and he looked at him and said, "I know my own child. If it weren't for you, a young man willing to help him, I would never allow him to go into the muddy water of the video hall. It's a new industry with many opportunities to make money. I'm not an antique, but it is precisely because of the many opportunities to make money that this industry is so deep. I don't know how many people have drowned. Let me give you a few words: Be careful in what you say and do, be patient when you are anxious, and remember this. Brother Yang, you are a big businessman. As long as you can remember these words, I will feel relieved that you are watching over my little monkey."
After hearing this, Lu Yang said repeatedly: I don’t deserve it.
Say goodbye to the old village party secretary.
Get away quickly.
At this time, Yin Zhuangzhuang had already arrived at his door.
Lu Yang went in and greeted Yin Mingyue. Although he hadn't gotten tired of watching movies on the VCR at home, there were only a few dozen good movies in total, and he had already watched them all. It wasn't that he had to use it, and it would be a nuisance to keep it at home.
Sooner or later, those idle and childless widows, widowers, and old village party secretaries will have nowhere to go and will have to come here when they hit a wall at home.
Want to change this situation.
Unless one day, if someone in the village has a VCR, it will no longer be a rare thing, just like the televisions more than ten years ago. At that time, if someone had a television, not to mention people in his own village, even people from other villages who lived not far away would rush over to see the novelty. The yard would be filled with black heads. Could the villagers be driven away?
Yin Mingyue was generous and after she understood what was going on, she said that she was tired of watching movies.
She has always had social phobia.
But she didn't want to end up like Yin Zhuangzhuang, with her yard filled with people, pestering her to show them movies every day.
Lu Yang took the opportunity to say, "Don't worry, wife, we'll have to wait for half a year at most. After we move to the new house, which is remote and soundproofed, it'll be just our family and my eldest cousin's family behind us. I'll get a better one and find more good movies. We can watch whatever we want, and no one can stop us."
"whee."
Yin Mingyue nodded sweetly at him: "Thank you, husband."
I like to hear that.
Lu Yang laughed loudly.
Poor Yin Zhuangzhuang next to him, he had just run away from home after being scolded by his grandfather. Before he could even catch his breath, he was stuffed in the mouth again and rolled his eyes.
