This is the first year that Hua Wanchi has spent here.
In her previous life, there were only her and her grandmother, and the New Year was always deserted. Many people in the village went to the city, and fewer and fewer people stayed in their hometown, so she rarely had playmates.
My good friends and classmates live in other villages, so we can’t play together when we are not in school.
Grandma would buy some delicious food, but not too much because there were only two of us at home and we couldn’t finish it.
A rare lively moment was when her grandmother took her to the market. The market was crowded with people, all coming and going to buy New Year's goods. If she didn't follow closely, her grandmother would be swept away immediately.
Candied haws, sugar paintings, and various melon seeds and peanuts. She was walking in the crowd with the candied haws bought by her grandma, and she was unconsciously infected by the joy.
Now the house is much more lively. Not only grandma, but also grandpa, mom and dad, uncles and children are here. Although there are fewer people than in other families, at least there is the atmosphere of the New Year.
Zhou Yujiao specially made several new clothes for Hua Wanchi, in red and yellow, which looked festive and made Hua Wanchi look even more lovely.
Hua Aihua and Su Qiuying naturally made a new set of clothes for each of their children, and even did not forget Hua Wanchi.
As soon as they entered the house, they went straight to Hua Wanchi and happily took out the finished clothes for Hua Wanchi to try on.
"Oh, it fits perfectly! I told you to make it bigger! You didn't believe me. If you make it smaller, I wonder who you'll give it to!"
Hua Aihua scratched her head and laughed: "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay? You know what, Chi Chi is pretty, and she looks even better in this dress!"
Hua Qingping was in high spirits, so he took his two nephews and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Have you finished setting off the firecrackers? Come on, let your uncle take you to buy some!"
The two brothers cheered instantly: "Uncle is the best!"
When Hua Qingping saw Hua Erniu's brothers and sisters on the road, he smiled and thought that he would soon be an elder too, so he shouldn't be too stingy.
So he called out, "Erniu, Ergou, Dahua and Erhua, come along. Your uncle will take you to buy some firecrackers and candy!"
Erniu was not polite at all. He waved his arm and called over several of his brothers and sisters.
"My uncle-in-law is so generous, so we shouldn't be polite!"
How many children have ever experienced such a good thing?
They immediately jumped up and down to catch up, and the brothers and sisters had huge smiles on their faces.
Hua Qingping saved up his salary for several months, and his wallet was full again. It could be said that he was not short of money at all.
Firecrackers, buy as much as you want!
Candy, buy as much as you want!
It’s New Year’s Day, shouldn’t we make the children happy?
On the way back, Hua Qingping asked Hua Erniu:
"Didn't you go to grandpa's house? Why are you back again?"
The two villages are not in the same county. Although they are on the border of the two counties, they are not close to each other.
It would take a whole day to leave, and Hua Erniu didn't want to go back even if there was nothing to do.
But the task system gives too much.
"Do you want to reach the pinnacle of life? You wish. But if you can save an innocent girl who was left in front of the Xinxian Cinema, you will be rewarded with 200 kilograms of rice and 20 yuan."
Hua Erniu opened his eyes and began to fool his grandfather:
"I forgot. Uncle Qingping wants to take my aunt to the movies the day after tomorrow. We can't let her wait there in vain. Let's go back and come back after the movie."
Although the excuse was not perfect, it clearly hit the spot in Old Man Wang's heart. When he heard it, he immediately felt:
What I mean is, no matter what, you can't break the appointment! Isn't that just a joke?
So Wang Jingxia brought Hua Erniu's brothers and sisters back again.
On the other hand, he said that Hua Qingping wanted to invite Wang Jingxia to see a movie, and on this side, he lied without hesitation:
"My aunt wants to go to the movies with you. She said tomorrow is the best day."
Hua Qingping was delighted to hear this and was happy at that moment.
"I'm inviting all of you to go and see it tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
How could anyone refuse!
The Hua Yuancheng brothers were fine. Although they were happy to have a movie to watch, it was not like they had never seen a movie before, so it was not that surprising to them.
But Hua Erniu and his friends are different. They used to not have enough food to eat, let alone watch movies.
When they heard Hua Qingping invite them to see a movie, they were all excited and looking forward to it.
Even though Hua Erniu was much more stable than his younger siblings, his face was filled with excitement at this moment.
I wonder what movies in cinemas look like?
Will it look better than the ones in the village?
Several people were jumping around and were in high spirits.
Hua Qingping thought, doesn’t this mean that Wang Jingxia is here too?
Can I see her when I return to the village?
My heart felt sweet, and I couldn't wait to go to Erniu's house as soon as I got home.
He was anxious to see her, and had missed her terribly since she had returned home.
What’s the saying?
A day without seeing you feels like three years.
"Jingxia!"
Hearing the affectionate call of her lover, Wang Jingxia felt happy and hurried out.
"Shall we go for a walk?"
"OK."
…
The next day, several children were sent to a farther location. Hua Qingping and Wang Jingxia sat together. Feeling each other so close to each other, they had no intention of watching the movie.
Hua Erniu secretly ran out of the cinema and looked left and right at the door, but didn't see anything.
There was only the chaotic footsteps of the people coming and going. How could a child be lost in front of so many people?
Hua Erniu began to doubt the mission.
Did we get the date wrong?
Or did I understand it wrongly?
Isn’t this what the gods meant?
He sat at the door of the cinema and began to doubt his life.
The sun was shining brightly in front of the cinema, and it felt warm on my body, making me drowsy.
By the evening, the movie was almost over, there were fewer and fewer people on the street, and dusk was getting darker. Hua Erniu was awakened by the ticket seller of the cinema.
"Young man, I see you've been sitting here all afternoon. Are you having any difficulties?"
Hua Erniu opened his sleepy eyes and looked around. There was still nothing in front of the cinema. Looking at the dusk, he felt a little confused.
"It's so late."
Yawning, Hua Erniu asked:
"Is the movie over?"
"Not yet, but soon."
The other person didn't look like he had encountered any difficulties, but rather seemed to have fallen asleep in the sun, so the ticket seller felt relieved.
He grumbled, "I don't know who came here and left the child here and ran off. I've been waiting for him all afternoon, and he still hasn't come back to pick him up!"
At this time, Hua Erniu noticed the baby on the stool next to him. The baby's eyes rolled around and he smiled when he saw him.
Hua Erniu recognized her and said, "Isn't this the little pomelo from Hua Jixiang's family?"
He began to think about it in his heart. He had heard before that Hua Jixiang gave his children away everywhere, but later he raised the children himself instead of giving them away.
Now he is still stubborn and planning to abandon the child again?
The gods must have been unable to bear to see this, so they sent him to take the child back.
200 kilograms of rice! And 20 yuan!
This child is really valuable, Hua Erniu was amazed.
