Su Tiantian, who had just come out of her mother's house, sat in the passenger seat. She was in a good mood and said with a smile on her face: "Brother Jing, let's go to the movies?"

Su Tiantian was of course in a good mood. First, her father was discharged from the hospital, and second, her younger brother might be getting married soon.

Li Yunfeng, the brother of Li Yunling, the future sister-in-law, has a girlfriend and is also planning a flash marriage, but the pace is slower than Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze. They said they want to choose a day in April of the lunar calendar.

Liu Jingze said, "Come to think of it, you and I haven't been to the movies together yet. Let's go. There are three movie theaters in town, and the one in the Lighting Mall opened recently."

"There's a cartoon movie in 20 minutes and a romance movie in 1 hour. Which one do you want to watch, Tiantian?" Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian were standing in front of the cinema's promotional poster.

Su Tiantian said, "Let's watch a cartoon movie. You don't have to wait too long. I'll go buy the movie tickets, and you go get some drinks and snacks."

Liu Jingze was not surprised by Su Tiantian's initiative to buy movie tickets, and he obediently went to buy drinks and snacks.

Although it was Saturday, there were not many people watching the movie. A movie ticket at 35 yuan was not cheap for people working in a small town with an average salary of only 3,000-5,000 yuan. Many young people went to work in neighboring towns, urban areas, neighboring cities or other big cities because the wages there were higher.

The ticket seller was enthusiastic: "Good afternoon, miss. Would you like to become a member of our cinema? You can become a member by recharging 200 yuan and enjoy a 20% discount on tickets."

Su Tiantian thought, 200 yuan is not a lot, this place is close to Liu Jingze's apartment, only a few minutes' walk, and she can come to watch a movie next time, so she said, "Then I'll top up 200 yuan."

Just after scanning the code to pay, a familiar and surprising voice came from behind me: "Tiantian, are you coming to the movie too?"

Su Tiantian turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xiuli. Zhang Xiuli was dressed casually today, wearing a printed round-neck long-sleeved yellow sweatshirt and black sweatpants with yellow prints on the sides. She was holding a boy who looked about three or four years old. He looked a bit like Zhang Xiuli, with a round face, a pair of big, sparkling eyes, and tender skin.

Zhang Xiuli said, "Shengzi, call me auntie."

The little boy said obediently and cutely, "Auntie." His voice was so soft and cute that Su Tiantian really wanted to touch his little face.

"Miss, which two seats would you like to choose?" The ticket seller's voice came from behind.

Su Tiantian said, "Sister-in-law, what movie do you want to watch? I'll buy you a ticket."

Zhang Xiuli said, "No need, I've already booked the tickets online. Since I'm taking my kids, of course we're going to watch a cartoon movie."

Hearing Zhang Xiuli say this, Su Tiantian turned around and chose a seat. The ticket seller handed two movie tickets to Su Tiantian with both hands.

Zhang Xiuli saw the movie ticket in Su Tiantian's hand and felt strange: "You want to watch a cartoon movie? Who are you going to watch it with?"

Su Tiantian looked at Liu Jingze who was walking over: "Of course it's with Brother Jing. Sister-in-law, where is Brother Jie?"

Zhang Xiuli's expression changed slightly, but she still had a graceful smile: "He is busy with work, so the nanny and I took the children to watch a cartoon movie today. I didn't expect that you and Jingze also like watching cartoon movies."

Su Tiantian said: "When I was little, the kids in the village loved going to Brother Jing's house to watch TV. His family was the first in the village to have a TV."

Liu Jingze approached with drinks and snacks and said, "I remember Tiantian used to like watching cartoons. Sister-in-law, good afternoon."

Zhang Xiu Li said, "Shengzi, call me uncle."

The little boy obediently called out, "Uncle."

Liu Jingze said kindly, "Be good, Shengzi." Then he looked at Zhang Xiuli and said, "Sister-in-law, can you eat what I have in my hand, Shengzi?"

Zhang Xiuli said, "I've asked the nanny to prepare food suitable for him. She's going to get something from the car, and it should be here soon. I'll leave this to you and Tiantian. You two can go in. My mother and I won't be the third wheel."

One afternoon, a woman came over with a big bag on her back and something in her hands. Zhang Xiuli said, "Auntie Bao is here."

Liu Jingze said, "Then let's go in first. Goodbye, sister-in-law and Shengzi."

Zhang Xiuli said, "Goodbye."

Su Tiantian took Liu Jingze's arm and walked into the screening room. Looking at their backs, Zhang Xiuli felt a little envious.

"Brother Jing, do you feel bored?" Su Tiantian asked Liu Jingze close to his ear. The hot breath blew across his ear, making Liu Jingze feel itchy. He said, "How can I be bored when I'm with you?"

Su Tiantian moved closer to Liu Jingze and leaned on his shoulder. Liu Jingze naturally fed the French fries into her mouth. Although they were watching a cartoon movie, in their eyes it was no different from a romance movie.

When Su Tiantian and Liu Jingze left the movie theater, Zhang Xiuli and her son had already left.

Su Tiantian said: "I think my sister-in-law is a little unhappy. Maybe it's because Brother Jie didn't come to accompany her and her son. Are they really getting a divorce? My sister-in-law said that Brother Jie is busy with work."

Liu Jingze said, "Saying he's busy with work is just a perfunctory excuse. As long as he's thoughtful and attentive, he can always find time to spend with his wife and children no matter how busy he is. It's not like he's doing something urgent that needs to be done."
