After buying the tickets, I was about to take Hu Chunhua in when I heard a commotion outside.
It turned out that people wearing red armbands came to the entrance of the cinema and drove away the vendors.
Hu Chunhua looked over subconsciously.
She didn't notice it when she was walking beside Zhou Xiong just now, but now she sees a person who is madly filling melon seeds. Isn't that Zhang Qiu?
"Zhou Xiong, that's my aunt Zhangqiu."
Hu Chunhua pointed at Zhang Qiu and said anxiously, "Her family is in financial difficulty. She borrowed money to make a living. If it's taken away, she won't be able to bear it."
The Hu family has been doing very good business these days. She hasn't asked about Zhangqiu, but she thinks it's only been a few days and they can't make much money. Instead, they have bought a lot of goods. If the goods are taken away, their family will be in even worse shape.
Zhou Xiong put the ticket in Hu Chunhua's hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, he took a few steps with his long legs and arrived in front of Zhangqiu.
"Not for sale anymore, not for sale anymore."
Zhang Qiu said subconsciously, at this time, the thing in her hand was taken away by Zhou Xiong.
She was startled and subconsciously opened her mouth to shout. Hu Chunhua quickly said, "Aunt Zhang, he is here to help you."
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Qiu, who was panicking and confused, gradually regained consciousness.
Looking at Zhou Xiong who had already run away, she realized it belatedly.
"Is that person Zhou Xiong?"
Hu Chunhua nodded and pulled her into the cinema.
"Aunt Zhang, it's okay. He will come back after the people over there leave."
As soon as the two walked into the lobby of the cinema, they heard roars and the cries of vendors outside.
Zhang Qiu touched his chest.
"Almost, just a little bit."
If she had been any slower, her things would have been taken away.
The risks of doing business are still high, but there is no other way. If you don’t do it, you will have no way to survive.
These days, she worked hard outside every day, and when she got home and counted, she had earned a total of five or six yuan.
This is much better than going to work.
Today was the first time she was chased away by someone. If she hadn't met Chunhua and Zhou Xiong, her things would probably have been confiscated and all her work these days would have been in vain.
"Don't worry, Third Sister said it's just verbal education over there. If you treat them well, they will return the things."
"Really?" Zhang Qiu still didn't quite believe it. If the punishment was so light, why were those arrested vendors crying?
Seeing her like this, Hu Chunhua didn't say much, but instead said, "If you're really worried, go back more often in the morning, noon, and evening, and bring less each time. That way, even if it's taken away, not much will be lost."
Zhang Qiu nodded. "That's the way it should be."
She had thought it was not easy to come out, so she simply brought everything with her to avoid running around. She didn't have a bicycle, and it took an hour to get to the cinema.
After a long pause, she remembered what she had forgotten.
"Chunhua, you guys are here to watch a movie, right?"
Pointing in the direction where Zhou Xiong disappeared and then at the movie poster, Zhang Qiu felt embarrassed.
"Did this delay your movie viewing?
It was Hu Chunhua's first time in a cinema and she didn't know what the rules were, so she was stumped for a moment.
"I don't know... either."
Zhang Qiu sighed and took her hand, "Chunhua, I'm sorry for you. How about this, you check the ticket price and I'll treat you guys next time, okay?"
How could Chunhua feel embarrassed? She waved her hands hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Zhou Xiong and I are getting married soon anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we watch the movie or not."
But Zhangqiu felt bad.
Zhou Xiong helped her a lot at this time, and also delayed his own business. If he didn't do something, she would feel uncomfortable about this matter.
So he took out a dollar from his pocket and put it directly into Hu Chunhua's hand.
"I don't know whether this is enough or not. You take it first. If you don't take it, I will feel uncomfortable."
How could Hu Chunhua accept it? She pushed it back.
"Aunt, you and my mother have such a relationship. It's just such a small matter. Don't keep it in your heart. If you are so clear about it, our family will be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future. My mother even said today that she would ask you to help fry sesame seeds in a few days."
Having said that, Zhangqiu felt embarrassed.
"Then next time you all come to my house for dinner."
Hu Chunhua nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, we've said we should sit down and have a meal together."
After the topic was over, Hu Chunhua asked about Xiaoju's situation.
When this was mentioned, Zhangqiu couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Xiaoju is much better now. Your mother's medical skills are really good. In such a short time, Xiaoju can already help me carry things."
She had been busy all day yesterday, and Xiaoju was waiting for her at the village entrance. When she went back, she carried the remaining half bag of melon seeds back with her.
That was the first time she truly felt that Xiaoju's health was indeed much better than before.
Hu Chunhua was also happy for her, "Aunt, now that your affairs have settled down, isn't it time to start arranging Daju's marriage?"
Daju is only a few months younger than her, and they are both well-known old girls in the village. Now that she and Zhou Xiong are together, she hopes that Daju can also find a good home.
Zhang Qiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Daju said that the family can't leave her alone right now, and she wants to wait until Xiaoju's condition stabilizes a little before doing anything else."
That child was so sensible that it made her feel distressed.
Hu Chunhua had no way to solve this problem.
Although Xiaoju has gotten better, she has been ill for too long. Having someone to take care of her at home allows Zhangqiu to travel around without worry.
After a while, the people who drove away the street vendors left, and the street vendors who had run away before gathered around again, making the entrance of the school bustling with activity.
Zhou Xiong also came back with melon seeds.
Hu Chunhua saw it and quickly waved at him.
"Aunt Zhang, look, Zhou Xiong is back, you can continue setting up the stall."
Zhang Qiu quickly stood up and ran over, "Zhou Xiong, thank you from your auntie."
Zhou Xiong quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's just a small matter."
As he said that, he was about to leave.
Zhang Qiu quickly pulled him over and packed a big bag of melon seeds for him.
"I've seen many people who go to the movies like to bring this in to eat. You should bring some in too."
Zhou Xiong was about to refuse when Hu Chunhua, who had just walked over, took the melon seeds.
"I just like eating the melon seeds fried by Aunt Zhang. Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Zhang Qiu smiled happily, "Whenever anyone in our village has a problem, they always ask me to roast melon seeds. My skill is really amazing."
Hu Chunhua smiled sweetly and pulled Zhou Xiong into the cinema.
The movie had already started for more than ten minutes, and when they entered, the theater was basically full.
Hu Chunhua stretched her head and looked around for their seats.
"Why does it seem like there are no seats left?"
Zhou Xiong's eyesight was better than Hu Chunhua's. After carefully looking at the seat number, he took her to a young couple.
