After chatting for a while, Wu Jiangshan was dragged over by the brothers from Qian Jinli to drink.

In the end, he only remembered that he took out a handful of money and gave it to Zhong Dagu, asking him to settle the bill.

I don’t know how he was brought home by Zhong Dagu later.

After waking up, Zhong Dagu was no longer at home. When he got up, he saw two large bowls on the pot table. He opened them and saw that they were the food Zhong Dagu had left for him.

With a full stomach, Wu Jiangshan washed his face and rode his bicycle to the cinema.

As expected, Zhong Dagu is already working here, and even his parents are here, along with two uncles and uncles from the village who are good at carpentry work.

The fellow villagers who came to work kept teasing him, calling him "big boss" and praising him for his great achievements.

Wu Jiangshan knew that after these two people returned, the whole Wutun would know about his contracting of the cinema...

Wu Jiangshan does not plan to build a shoe-changing cabin in the lobby like the provincial capital ice rink.

There would be no air circulation in the cabin and the smell would be really unpleasant.

We might as well make the entire building open, just on the right hand side of the hall, against the corner.

Put two rows of shelves against the wall to store shoes, set up two counters, and then put a row of stools along the wall next to the door to serve as a rest area.

Today I am going to make the handrails on the four walls first. After painting, I have to dry them outside.

The remaining wood was pieced together to build a lattice cabinet that was 1.5 meters high and 3 meters long, which was far from what Wu Jiangshan wanted.

Wu Shaotang said that if he wanted to measure out the quantity, he could go back and find a carpenter to have it done and bring it over.

There were also some leftover materials, and Wu Jiangshan asked his uncle from the same village to make two strong wooden shelves.

When the time comes, you can find a wide board and you can put things directly on it.

There was a wooden frame over there, and here Wu Shaotang helped Wu Jiangshan and cement to patch up the uneven ground.

And Zhong Dagu directly became Song Xiangjun's assistant, climbing up and down to help him continue to clean up the second floor.

Shen Hongxing was not idle either. He had already cleared out the rags and debris accumulated on both side doors all morning, and was now carrying buckets of water to wash them.

The walls of the cinema have been damaged for a long time, and it would be too time-consuming and laborious to re-scrape them with putty.

Wu Jiangshan thought for a while and decided to find some students who were good at drawing and create a trendy graffiti wall.

After a busy day, Song Xiangjun saw Wu Jiangshan Zao's gray-headed face and stinking sweat, and asked him to follow him home to take a bath and change clothes.

Wu Jiangshan thought about going back. He planned to go to An County in the next two days to see the lights.

Zhong Dagu also kept secrets and wanted to go home alone, so Wu Jiangshan simply asked him to come with him.

Zhong Dagu was embarrassed and kept refusing, but he worked with Song Xiangjun for a day. Song Xiangjun also liked this black boy who talked little and was hard-working.

Hearing from his son that he always stayed at Zhong Dagu's house when he came to town, Song Xiangjun thought that his son was eating and drinking at his house.

No matter what he said, Zhong Dagu was asked to follow him back and asked him if he wanted to go back and tell his family.

Hearing the word family, Zhong Dagu smiled awkwardly. Wu Jiangshan pulled him onto his bicycle and rode towards Wutun.

Wu Jiangshan's bicycle was much faster than the ox cart. When they got home, grandma left food for them. When they saw the guests, they asked the aunt to add a plate of scrambled eggs.

Zhong Dagu looked a little timid and couldn't let go.

Seeing that Wu Jiangshan's parents were back, he went to the table and was too embarrassed to eat with him.

He waited until Wu Shaotang and Song Xiangjun came back before they even used their chopsticks.

After eating and taking a shower in the backyard, Wu Jiangshan and Zhong Dagu slept in Wu Mingshu's hut at night.

The two of them talked about the movie theater for a while on the kang, and grandma opened the door and came in.

Holding two bottles of canned peaches in his arms, he said, "Eat something before going to sleep. I heard your mother say that your place is quite big, and it's tiring to clean it up every day."

"Milk, you're full tonight. You can take it back and eat it yourself." Wu Jiangshan shook his head.

"Why are you so full? You two young men can't eat this little food?"

After talking to Wu Jiangshan, grandma gave the other bottle to Zhong Dagu with a smile: "You eat too, you are a little embarrassed to come home. Didn't you have enough to eat at night? You have been tired for the past two days.

From now on, come home and play more."

"Thank you, grandma." Zhong Dagu smiled dryly, and grandma didn't stay long. She told them to go to bed early and went out.

Wu Jiangshan patted the bottom of the bottle, opened the bottle and handed it to Zhong Dagu: "You can eat it, I don't like it."

Zhong Dagu chuckled, sat up and took a sip of the sweet canned water.

"Jiang Shan, your family is so kind."

"Then just like my grandma said, come here often from now on."

Zhong Dagu smiled: "How embarrassing."

"Come on, you are still ashamed." Seeing that the curtains were closed, Wu Jiangshan pulled his pants over, took out a cigarette, lit it, and lay down on the edge of the kang to smoke.

"I've spent a lot on miscellaneous things in the past two days, and I haven't bought any big items." Wu Jiangshan sighed: "I'm going to An County tomorrow to see the lanterns. What about you? Do you want to come with me?"

Zhong Dagu shook his head and held the cans and bottles in his arms: "I think the movie theater has almost been packed up. I'll go to Weitang tomorrow? I haven't been out for a few days. It would be nice to earn a little more."

Wu Jiangshan squinted his eyes and said nothing, looking like he was thinking about something again.

Zhong Dagu was eating nearby and looking at the hut.

In addition to the kang cabinet, there was also a large wooden table placed on the floor, and a lot of books were stacked against the wall.

"Is this your sister's house?"

"Well, I usually sleep in my grandma and grandpa's room when I come back."

"Then our bedding is your sister's bedding?"

Wu Jiangshan returned his hand and slapped him on the head, jokingly saying: "What are you thinking about? You came to hold me in my milk house. I treat you as my brother, but you don't want to be my brother-in-law."

Zhong Dagu laughed loudly, holding the can and bottle in his hands and drank it all in three gulps.

Then he lay down on the kang contentedly, touched his belly, and suddenly whispered: "Jiangshan, it's so comfortable to have a home."

Wu Jiangshan turned to look at Zhong Dagu, turned over and lay down on the kang: "When the skating rink is cleaned up and the business is stable, I will accompany you to see your father."

Zhong Dagu stood up in a hurry: "How did you know that I wanted to visit my dad?"

"We have known each other for almost six years, right? How can I not know what you are thinking?"

In fact, Wu Jiangshan remembered that before his rebirth, Zhong Dagu was sentenced to one and a half years for the first time for theft.

When Wu Jiangshan went to see him, he cried bitterly and told Wu Jiangshan that he regretted not even visiting his father when he was in prison.

"Don't worry, we'll go when the business opens. Ask your dad to reform inside and try to reduce his sentence and come out soon. By then, won't you have a home?"

Zhong Dagu burst into tears when he heard Wu Jiangshan's words: "Jiangshan, my life is so good, I can have such a good buddy like you in this life..."

Wu Jiangshan reached out to the wall and tugged on the light cord, turning off the light.

In the darkness, Zhong Dagu could shed tears without restraint. Wu Jiangshan opened his eyes, his eyes were dark but his heart was at peace.
