Chapter 74

Youyou stood there, listening to what they said, and found it more and more interesting.

It turns out that Sister Chu You is so amazing now, and the dramas she plays are liked by so many people!

Seeing her standing by and watching, Qu Minli raised her chin even higher: "Do you have a TV at home?"

Youyou shook her head and said, really not.

She then asked, "Have you ever watched TV?"

Now Youyou was in a dilemma, because she had not only watched the show, but had also acted in it.

However, Qu Minli didn't care about her answer at all. She had something else she had prepared to say.

"My mother also said that Cheng Ruchu used to be an art soldier in the Jiangcheng Art Troupe. Later, by chance, he went to Jiangcheng Film Studio to make a movie. That movie will be released next month. It is about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and is very educational. The teacher may take us to see it."

When the other students heard Qu Minli's words, their eyes lit up.

Youyou’s eyes were also bright. Was she going to see herself in the cinema?

The primary schools in Jing City are really great. I can even take my classmates to the movies.

expect!

"Country bumpkin, why are you listening with such gusto? Do you know what an art soldier is?" Qu Minli said, raising her delicate chin.

At this time, another classmate spoke up: "Minli, don't always call people bumpkins. This is very rude."

Teacher Peng was tidying up things on the podium. When he heard the argument, he came over and asked, "What's going on?"

Qu Minli fell silent and glared angrily at the female classmate who had just spoken for Youyou.

Teacher Peng frowned and said seriously, "We are all classmates in this class. We should be united and friendly with each other. Why do you say such harsh words? Qu Minli, I will punish you now. Stand in the corridor outside the classroom."

Qu Minli's eyes turned red, she turned her head away stubbornly and ran out of the classroom quickly.

Teacher Peng looked at Youyou and put his hand on her shoulder: "If you are bullied in the future, remember to tell the teacher."

All the students in the class are afraid of Peng Wang. As long as he puts on a stern face, everyone will behave themselves.

Ruan Fengmei sat in her seat, looking through the window at Qu Minli who was standing in the corridor.

When Youyou came back, she said, "Look, do you believe it now? The classmates in our class are not friendly. They bully us country students because they are from the city."

"Youyou, let's ignore these people from now on. We are good friends, let's play together, okay?" she said again.

Youyou raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Sure! We can study and play together."

At lunch time, Qu Minli came back. When she saw Youyou, she glared at her angrily with tears in her eyes.

Out of the principle of reciprocity, Youyou politely rolled her eyes at her and went to eat happily.

…

After Meng Jinyu, Youyou and Shanshan lived in this house for a few days, they discovered that the elderly person next door always kept his door closed and seldom went out.

She remembered that when she first moved into the staff compound of Chunyu Garment Factory, her next-door neighbors came to visit her, which made her feel extremely warm, and the relationship between neighbors gradually improved.

It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Meng Jinyu thought about taking the children to the home of the elderly next door to say hello.

Youyou accompanied her mother in making dumplings. The plump white dumplings were placed on a porcelain plate. The two of them went to the next door and knocked on the door.

“Knock knock knock—”

I waited for a long time, but no one opened the door.

Youyou was a little puzzled. She stood on tiptoe and looked through the window: "Is anyone there?"

After a while, an old lady opened the door.

Youyou glanced into the room casually and saw a boy sitting in front of a wooden desk, staring at a book.

When he saw Youyou, he paused and lowered his head again.

Youyou opened her eyes wide. It turned out that there was a child living here. Could they play together from now on?

"Hello, we are new neighbors, living right next door. These are the dumplings I made with sauerkraut stuffing, you..." Meng Jinyu stopped talking halfway when she met the old lady's impatient look.

"No need to try to get close to me." The old lady closed the door as soon as she finished speaking.

The next moment, she closed the window as well.

Meng Jinyu was stunned. She listened through the window but didn't hear any sound from inside, not even a complaint.

The room was eerily quiet.

"Mom, what's wrong with grandma?" Youyou asked in a low voice.

Meng Jinyu shook her head, holding the plate, and stood outside for a long time.

"Are these dumplings specially made for the old lady of the Wen family?" A woman walking by with a basket of vegetables came over to take a look and introduced herself. "I live in the yard next to it. My husband and I used to work in the instrument factory. Later, the factory closed down, so we rented a house to live in. Now we do some individual business."

Seeing that she was staring at the sauerkraut dumplings on her plate, Meng Jinyu handed them to her and said with a smile, "I just made these dumplings. Take them and try them."

"How can this be so embarrassing!" Xie Meidan waved her hand politely.

"Auntie, please take it. The dumplings my mother makes are delicious." Youyou said softly.

Xie Meidan giggled and rubbed Youyou's head: "This little girl is so pretty."

She happily accepted the dumplings, pulled Meng Jinyu aside, and whispered, "The old lady of the Wen family is very strange. You should refrain from provoking her, or you might get scolded by her. It's not worth it."

Meng Jinyu asked curiously, "What happened to her?"

Xie Meidan shook her head and said helplessly, "What else can I do? She is just a miserable person. Her husband was the leader of the instrument factory. Her son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship and are quite promising. But who would have known that a few months ago, the couple went on a business trip to Anshi together. The weather was bad and the bus overturned. The two of them died on the spot..."

Meng Jinyu took a breath of cold air when she heard this.

Xie Meidan sighed: "Since then, the old lady's temper has become very strange. Moreover, it's not just her, but also her grandson! Ever since he knew that his parents were dead, the child has become stupid. He was such a beautiful child before, how could he become stupid so suddenly..."

After hearing this, Youyou felt a little heavy.

So, the boy she just met was a little fool?

So when he grows up, will he be as pitiful as brother Dalong?

"The child has stopped studying and stays at home every day. Sometimes when I pass by their house, I always feel it is so quiet that it is frightening... It is really not easy for these two grandparents and grandchildren." Xie Meidan sighed again and sniffed the porcelain bowl. "It looks like it is not cooked yet, but I can smell the pickled cabbage. It smells so good. I will go back and cook the dumplings and bring the plate back to you later!"

…

Meng Jinyu wanted to expand her business, but before she figured out the route, she still had to set up a stall.

Since Jiang Guo studied at a school in Beijing and would come back on weekends, she would rush to purchase goods on weekends.

It is now 1982, and there are more and more styles of clothing on the market. The market owner showed her a few bell-bottom pants and said with a smile: "Look at these bell-bottom pants, they are good products at first glance. When bell-bottom pants first came out a few years ago, not many people bought them. Even if you bought them home, you had to bear the pressure. There were even schools that issued notices not allowing students to wear such strange clothes to school. So those who bought bell-bottom pants at that time, even if they wanted to wear them out to show off, they didn't dare to, and they could only put them in the bottom of the box. After all, no one wants to be regarded as a bad youth, right? But now, this trend is blowing back again."

Meng Jinyu took a look at the bell-bottom pants handed to her by the boss and shook her head.

The popularity of bell-bottom pants is only temporary. The pants that people bought a few years ago and had been stored at the bottom of the box can still be worn now and will not be out of fashion. In this case, if she imports a large batch, it may not sell well.

"Show me that bat shirt." Meng Jinyu pointed to a piece of clothing behind the boss, paused, and then said, "And that denim jacket."

The boss' eyes lit up: "Comrade, you have a really good eye!"

Most of those who come to this market to purchase goods are the first batch of comrades to engage in self-employment, but in fact they are just crossing the river by feeling the stones, gaining experience as they go along.

Compared with them, Meng Jinyu has more advantages because she knows the general trends in the next few years.

Meng Jinyu bought a batch of jeans and bat-wing shirts, and also took a fancy to a red skirt and several matching sweaters.

Finally, her eyes rested on a white shirt.

"Boss, why is that white shirt stuck in the corner?" Meng Jinyu asked with a smile, "It's all wrinkled like this, how can we sell it?"

The boss smiled bitterly and said, "If it was selling well, it wouldn't be hidden in a corner. People don't like black, white and grey clothes anymore. No matter how well made this white shirt is, it looks too plain and not many people like it. I even asked the clothing factory for a large batch, but no one wants it no matter how low the price is."

"I want it." Meng Jinyu said, "Give me the lowest price and I'll take thirty pieces."

Thirty pieces!

The boss looked surprised. Although this woman came to wholesale clothes, she only bought a few pieces of each style. But now she opened her mouth and asked for thirty pieces!

After she came to her senses, the boss couldn't stop smiling. Fearing that Meng Jinyu would go back on her word, he immediately gave her a lowest price, packed the clothes and let her take them away.

After receiving this batch of clothes, Meng Jinyu felt relieved.

She didn't delay, bought a ticket immediately and rushed home.

As soon as she got home and opened the door, she saw Jiang Guo cooking with her younger brother and sister.

When Meng Jinyu usually cooks, she would ask Youyou and Shanshan to help, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came back, there would be ready-made meals.

Although these simple dishes were not very delicious, they were already delicious meals for Meng Jinyu who was tired after a whole day.

It had been a while since school started, and Meng Jinyu asked Jiang Guo whether she had adapted to school.

Jiang Guo said: "There are six students in a dormitory, only one is a local, and the others are from various cities. Like my mother said, not every local is like Grandma Shen's son who bullies others. This classmate in our dormitory is very good. She usually teaches us to speak dialect when she has nothing to do, and often takes us around."

Meng Jinyu smiled and said, "That's good, but you can't just play around when school starts. You still have to study your major courses seriously."

Jiang Guo nodded.

She applied for a teacher training program, thinking only of studying. But now that school has started, she finds that she is not suitable for teaching at all.

It would be too awkward to let Jiang Guo stand in the classroom and teach the kids knowledge.

Recently, she has been thinking about whether she can change her major, but after looking around, she just can't find a suitable one.

"Mom, a classmate in our class said that a foreigner will hold a fashion show in Beijing in a few days. The show will be held in the restaurant of her relative. I want to go and take a look."

Meng Jinyu was stunned for a moment.

She couldn't help but recall the look on Jiang Cheng's face when he told her he wanted to join the army. She thought her son was joking at the time.

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng had been in the army for a long time. Whenever Meng Jinyu received a letter from him in the army, she felt sincerely proud.

Back then, Jiang Cheng wanted to be a soldier, and Jiang Guo wanted to be a model.

It is already the early 1980s. If Jiang Guo really wants to do this, she can sign up for a modeling competition.

Could it be that this child is getting closer to his childhood dream?

…

Youyou has been in this class for a month, but has not yet become friends with her classmates.

Ever since being criticized by Teacher Peng, Qu Minli has held a grudge against her and even threatened that if anyone spoke to Youyou, she would not give them Cheng Ruchu's autographed photos.

It would be bad enough if those classmates ignored her, but these days, Youyou found that even Ruan Fengmei was avoiding her.

"Ruan Fengmei, this is the shortbread I brought from home. Do you want to eat it?" Youyou felt strange, so she took out her own shortbread and handed it to her.

Ruan Fengmei swallowed greedily and reached out to take the biscuit, but when she saw a few classmates nearby, she cautiously withdrew her hand, looking embarrassed.

Youyou looked at her, then looked at Qu Minli and those classmates who were eyeing her eagerly not far away, and she understood everything.

"You don't want to eat it? That's such a pity." Youyou took the shortbread, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in ecstasy, "It's so crispy."

Since there are no friends to talk to in this class, Youyou won’t force it.

Because mom said that friendship also depends on fate. If you don’t get along, you don’t get along. They don’t want to play with Youyou, and Youyou doesn’t want to play with them.

As a result, Youyou's spare time became boring, but the road is made by walking, so she had to solve this problem.

Finally, Youyou came up with a solution.

She needs to learn the sixth-grade materials as soon as possible so that she can skip a grade when taking the exam.

This way, I won’t have to see these annoying classmates anymore.

Nowadays, primary schools in various cities have returned to the six-year system. Jiang Guo borrowed some sixth-grade textbooks from her classmates' younger brothers and sisters at school so that she could bring them to school to read.

Qu Minli originally thought that the deliberate exclusion would make Youyou cry, but who knew that she would read books leisurely every day and live a happy life.

As a result, Qu Minli felt as if her fist was hitting cotton, and nothing worked.

"Students," Teacher Peng walked in, stood on the podium, and said with a smile, "I have good news for you. Next Monday, our school will organize everyone to go to the cinema to watch a movie. The name of this movie is "Artillery Battle", which tells the story of how women comrades can also hold up the sky during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It is very educational. Let's gather at school early on Monday morning and go to the cinema together!"

As soon as Teacher Peng finished speaking, the students in the class immediately cheered.

Several female classmates surrounded Qu Minli, talking to each other, with excited faces.

"Minli, your mother is right, the school will really organize us to watch a movie!"

"Is Cheng Ruchu really in that movie? I like her so much."

"Are you sure you can get me a signed photo of Cheng Ruchu? I really want to take it home as a treasure!"

The depression in Qu Minli's heart finally dissipated. She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Of course! My mother is very familiar with the staff at the studio. It's not difficult to get a few photos."

After she finished speaking, Qu Minli pretended to glance at Youyou casually.

Youyou, who had been concentrating on studying at first, now looks up with a face full of anticipation.

Qu Minli chuckled and whispered, "Look, this country bumpkin, this nerd, also wants to go to the movies. I guess this must be her first time to the cinema."

Several female classmates thought she was going too far, scratched their heads and said nothing.

Qu Minli looked at Ruan Fengmei and asked, "What do you think?"

Ruan Fengmei nodded vigorously: "Yeah."

After class, Youyou's steps were particularly cheerful.

Today is a really good day. My sister will be back from school in the evening and will have a happy weekend. Moreover, after the weekend, she can go to the cinema to watch a movie.

That’s Youyou’s first time making a movie. I wonder what an interesting experience it will be to see herself in the cinema!

Youyou was jumping up and down, but unexpectedly, before she even entered the house, she heard Ruan Fengmei's voice behind her.

"Yuzu!"

Youyou frowned and turned around.

Ruan Fengmei trotted forward and finally caught her breath: "Youyou, let's secretly be good friends from now on, okay?"

Youyou:? ? ?

Ruan Fengmei blushed: "After school every day, we play in the small yard near your house. When we get back to school, we can pretend that we are not good friends, okay?"

Youyou waved her hands: "No, no!"

Ruan Fengmei's mouth curved downwards: "Qu Minli promised me that if I ignored you, she would take me to play with her, but she didn't agree to let me skip rope with her group during the physical education class these two days."

Youyou tilted her head.

Did Ruan Fengmei come here to help me solve my problems?

"Qu Minli!" Youyou waved vigorously in the direction behind Ruan Fengmei.

Ruan Fengmei was frightened and looked back immediately.

However, after searching for a long time, she did not see Qu Minli at all, so she became angry and said, "I am willing to play with you because I feel sorry for you and you have no friends. Since you don't appreciate it, forget it!"

Ruan Fengmei said this angrily, turned around and ran away.

Looking at her back, Youyou shook her head.

Let me tell you, although Ruan Fengmei looks gentle and polite, she actually talks a lot.

He is a big talker.

However, does it really look so pitiful if I have no friends?

Youyou sighed. She had always made a lot of friends wherever she went since she was little. Why was it that this time——

She turned around and walked back with her head down, but she saw out of the corner of her eye that the window of Grandma Wen's house next door was open.

The room was dim. Two little hands were holding on to the door frame, and a pair of eyes, distinctly black and white, were looking in the direction of Youyou.

Youyou looked closely and found that it was Grandma Wen’s grandson.

Youyou waved: "Want to come out and play?"

The little boy, who was about her age, hesitated for a while, supported himself on the door frame with his hands, and jumped out with agile and agile movements.

"What's your name?" Youyou asked.

Without saying a word, he sat down on the steps in front of his house, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for Youyou to sit down as well.

After Youyou sat down, she said, "I remember now, the neighbor said you were a little fool."

The boy looked at her, still silent.

"It doesn't matter, we can still be friends." Youyou held her chin with both hands, looked around boredly, and said softly, "There is no Wu Shuangxia, Zhu Xiaoyun, Chen Qiqi, Lu Zhengnan in Jing City... Although Brother Gu Qi is also in Jing City, he is also very busy with his studies and can't play with me every day."

Youyou was a little frustrated and looked at him annoyed: "I don't think Jing City is good at all, what do you think?"

Still no response.

However, Youyou still didn't stop.

"But there are good ones too! There are a lot of delicious foods in Jing City."

"Besides, this place is so huge. I haven't been anywhere else except for Jingshi University."

"As long as I'm with my mom, sister, and brother, I can go anywhere!"

"Actually, Beijing isn't that bad, right?"

When Youyou thought of this, the corners of her mouth immediately stretched out, the dimples at the corners of her lips appeared and disappeared, and her eyes curved into a crescent shape.

Seeing Youyou smile, the little boy also smiled.

His skin was very white, a white color that came from being locked up at home for so many years. His eyes were very clear, like a baby's eyes, and his pupils were clearer than glass marbles.

His smile was warm, the curve at the corners of his eyes became deeper, and his bloodless cheeks seemed to become rosy.

Youyou stared at him for a long time.

Somehow, she whispered, "You have a secret, don't you?"

The boy looked at her in confusion.

Youyou added, "I have a good friend named Dalong. Dalong is not a smart kid, but you are completely different from him. Why do you want to pretend to be a little fool?"

Suddenly, the door opened.

Old Mrs. Wen, who had just woken up from her nap, had a sullen face: "You little girl, are you bullying my grandson? Go away!"

As she spoke, she went to find a broom, wanting to chase Youyou away. However, when she saw her grandson trotting into the house, the old lady calmed down and closed the door.

With a "bang", Youyou was blocked at the door.

She looked confused.

Why on earth did this boy pretend to be a fool?

…

Meng Jinyu made the right decision by bringing this mobile shelf.

She asked Xie Meidan about some of the bustling streets in Beijing, hung her new clothes on the rack, and pushed the cart out.

After watching for a while, she stopped the shelf in an open space outside Siliang Street.

At first, hearing Meng Jinyu's foreign accent, the stall owners from other stalls would look at her a few times. But after all, Meng Jinyu was selling clothes and would not steal the business from those snack stalls. In addition, if her business was good, the customer flow to her stall would also increase, so the other stall owners did not make things difficult for her.

"Comrade, what kind of clothes are you wearing? The sleeves look a bit strange."

"Is this red dress too bright? I think it's pretty, but it's such a red color that I'm afraid I can't wear it out."

"What kind of coat is that? I don't think I've seen it before."

Regardless of whether these people came to ask for prices or not, as long as someone showed interest in the clothes on the stall, Meng Jinyu would immediately greet them enthusiastically.

"These are bat sleeves, the most fashionable style right now. Look, they can be paired with these pants. To use a popular term, they are modern!"

"If you think the red skirt is too bright, you can pair it with a plain-colored top. There must be a lot of plain clothes at home that you don't want to wear, right? If you buy this red skirt now, won't it match the color?"

"This is a denim jacket. The largest size of this jacket can be worn over a floral skirt. Also, if you don't want to wear it anymore, you can give it to the gay man in your family. It won't be a waste at all."

Meng Jinyu talked until her lips were about to break. After half a day, she sold four bat sleeves, two red skirts and three denim jackets.

The profit from clothing was not small. She did some calculations in her mind and realized that she had earned at least three figures on this trip.

Looking back at my time in Jiangcheng, I probably couldn’t earn as much in two days as I did in half a day.

But no one cared about her white shirt.

It was probably because the shirt was not hung properly. At first glance, people thought it was unattractive and didn't see the details, so the treasure was lost.

Meng Jinyu didn't care. She pulled her shirt, revealing the details of the collar and hanging it in the most conspicuous position.

Just then, a female comrade in her fifties came over.

Although it is October now, the weather is not cold. She wears a windbreaker and wraps herself tightly. She walks slowly and does not look very good.

It looks like he is not feeling well.

"Comrade, can you let me see your shirt?" Gao Jingqing pointed to a white shirt on Meng Jinyu's shelf.

Meng Jinyu quickly handed it to her.

Gao Jingqing took a look at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spoke weakly: "White shirts are no longer fashionable, and young people don't like them. But your collar is inlaid with a whole row of pearls, which looks much more refined. Comrade, where did you get this shirt?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes met Meng Jinyu's and she was slightly stunned.

"These are the pearls I bought myself, pinned one by one on the collar of my shirt." Meng Jinyu said with a smile, "This kind of shirt looks much more simple and elegant, and also very sophisticated."

"I want this shirt." Gao Jingqing said, "How many do you have in total?"

Meng Jinyu was stunned for a moment.

Gao Jingqing said, "To be honest, my husband is in the clothing business. This shirt is very unique, and I believe there will be a market for it, so I want to buy all of them."

This is big business!

This shirt was sold at a low price in the market at that time. Meng Jinyu bought some pearls and decorated it herself, but she didn't expect that someone would want them all now.

The other party's family business must be very big, and the price she quoted was not low, but the other party did not bargain at all and just asked for as much as he could afford.

One shirt can bring a profit of ten yuan. Meng Jinyu has thirty shirts at home. She made three hundred yuan just by reselling them!

"I'll give you my home address. If you're free, you can send the shirts over." Gao Jingqing took a pen and paper with him, wrote down his home address, paid the deposit, and then said, "You won't believe it, but our babysitter looks exactly like you. Comrade, do you have any sisters?"

Meng Jinyu suddenly thought of Ruan Wenwen.

"Babysitter?"

Gao Jingqing smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not in good health, so my husband asked her to come and take care of me. The two of you have very similar facial features. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought there would be two people who look so similar. However, our nanny looks much more plain than you."

Meng Jinyu became more and more suspicious.

Ruan Wenwen is neither hardworking nor caring, so how come she ended up working as a nanny?

Could it be that he has turned over a new leaf and become a new person?

She doesn't believe it.

After Gao Jingqing said this, his breathing became a little faster. After resting for a while while holding Meng Jinyu's shelf, he smiled and said, "Look where I am talking about. My body is not doing well. I am out of breath after just a few words. I have to go back and rest. By the way, I am usually at home. Please send the shirts as soon as possible."

…

Meng Jinyu spent the entire night pinning the pearls that her family had not had time to pin on the collar of her white shirt.

She got up early in the morning, packed up, and prepared to deliver the clothes to Gao Jianqing after closing the stall.

Although she was wondering what was going on with that "little nanny", she was so happy when she thought about the 300 yuan she was about to get that she couldn't help humming a little tune.

At this time, Youyou's little face was smiling like a flower.

She is going to the movies!

Youyou is a big kid now and doesn’t need her mother to send her to school.

She carried her small schoolbag, went to school leisurely, and lined up in front of the classroom door.

Qu Minli was dressed very beautifully. She said that her mother would go to the cinema soon. When her classmates heard this, they quickly surrounded her and clamored for her autographed photo.

Teacher Peng asked everyone to follow the team closely. He held a small flag in his hand and waved it, then led the students of Class 2, Grade 5 out.

The cinema was not far away, just one street away from the school. We chatted and laughed and soon arrived there.

Youyou followed everyone and entered the cinema in an orderly manner. She sat in the screening room, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

The movie started and all the students fell silent.

As the heroine, Cheng Ruchu appeared quickly. Several girls stared at her, clenched their hands, and were about to scream.

Although compared with her appearance in the TV series, Cheng Ruchu here looks very plain, but even so, her brilliance still cannot be concealed.

The sound of "Cheng Ruchu" rang in Youyou's ears again and again, and the corners of her mouth were raised high.

A few days ago, she told her mother about her sister Chu You's name change, and her mother was not surprised at all. Mom said that Sister Chu You wanted to take a new step in her life with a brand new look.

Now Sister Chu You has become Sister Ruchu. She should have slowly gotten over the harm caused by her previous family, right?

Youyou was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

This anti-Japanese war film makes people's blood boil, but Qu Minli was not immersed in the plot. She glanced at Youyou from time to time, with a provocative smile full of superiority on her lips.

"Tell me, has this bumpkin never seen a movie?" Qu Minli whispered.

The female classmates next to her didn’t understand why she had to target Youyou, and they were too lazy to pay attention to her. The movie was so good, who would want to listen to her boring words!

"Ah - look at Cheng Ruchu's sister -" Suddenly, an exclamation rang out.

Qu Minli's expression gradually became stiff.

On the screen, a little girl wearing patched clothes ran out of the house and solemnly repeated what her sister said: "The great leader said that women can also hold up the sky!"

Her voice was soft and her eyes were extremely bright, as if she was carrying deep hope and healing people's hearts.

The students who had initially shed tears due to the cruel scenes of war were moved by this warm smile. However, before they could wipe away their tears, they discovered that -

Something is wrong. Why does this "sister" look like Meng Youyou from their class?

It was the first time that Youyou saw herself on the screen, but she didn’t care about being shy or the surprised looks her classmates gave her.

At this moment, she was completely moved by the plot of the movie and cried like a kitten.

After that, Qu Minli could no longer concentrate on the movie and just sat there stiffly.

The classmates looked at Youyou with admiration and pride. The little actor in the movie was a classmate of theirs, which was really amazing!

The movie was about to end, and Youyou’s name appeared in the cast list at the end.

Afterwards, during the passionate and high-pitched ending song, the students stood up and applauded under the leadership of Peng Wang.

"Look! The movie isn't over yet, there are a few photos at the end!"

“Is that Meng Youyou?”

"Meng Youyou and Cheng Ruchu have many photos together, and she looked so young at that time, as if she was only five or six years old."

"Why is she wearing a military uniform? Cheng Ruchu is also wearing a military uniform! Could Meng Youyou also be from the art troupe?"

Qu Minli was almost unable to stand.

She teased Youyou for being a country bumpkin who had never watched TV and didn’t even know what a cultural troupe was…

Several classmates were very curious and couldn't help but run up to Youyou and ask her if making a movie was fun.

Ruan Fengmei's heart was still beating fast. She stood on tiptoe and wanted to get closer, but the classmates who had agreed to be friends with her ignored her completely. Some even thought she was annoying and pushed her away.

"Minli!" Qu's mother came over.

Qu Minli quickly ran forward and spread her hands: "Mom, did you get me Cheng Ruchu's autographed photo?"

Mother Qu shook her head apologetically: "Cheng Ruchu has gone to film somewhere else with the studio, and I didn't run into her."

When several female classmates heard this, they immediately became unhappy and looked at Qu Minli with disappointment.

"How could you lie? You said you would get us an autographed photo, you lied!"

"Your mother is also said to be very familiar with the production studio. I have already told my friends in the compound. I will definitely bring the autographed photos to show them when I go home today!"

"I don't care, Qu Minli, you must get the autographed photo for me. Otherwise, I will be laughed at by other friends in the compound."

Qu Minli's head was lowered lower and lower.

She was anxious and embarrassed, and walked in front of Youyou awkwardly.

"Classmate Meng Youyou, can I trouble you with a favor? You are so familiar with Cheng Ruchu, could you help us get a few autographed photos? The kind sold at the stall in front of the school, thank you for trouble..." Qu Minli clutched her sleeves tightly, her face red as if blood was about to drip out.

“As long as you can get an autographed photo, then we—” she gritted her teeth, “We will all play with you.”
