Chapter 450: Smug Smile
Yang Yumin and his mother Yang Huaihua, followed Li Yue on the left and right, and prepared dinner together.
During the cooking process, Li Yue smiled meaningfully several times.
But when they asked Li Yue what was wrong, Li Yue said that nothing was wrong, which made the mother and daughter feel uneasy.
The dinner was very sumptuous, and the people in the Jia family forgot about the rat poison and ate without stopping. After the meal, they took the stools and went out to watch a movie.
Although Li Yue smiled and looked very friendly today, they always felt a chill in their spines.
So stay away if you can!
Li Yue waited until Yang Yumin and others finished eating, and couldn't help but invite everyone to go out to watch a movie.
"Yujiao, take out those mink furs from my box and put them on your brother and mother. You wear the short one. It's a bit cold in the open-air movie, so keep warm."
Ever since Li Ye told Sun Xianjin that he needed a few mink hats that year, the honest young man from Heilongjiang Province has bought Li Ye a few fur coats every year. His sister Li Yue has several of them, and they came in handy today.
But Yang Huaihua refused to wear it, and also forbade Yang Yujiao and Yang Yumin to wear it.
"Don't show off. Those people in the west room are eager to see any good things. You are wearing such fancy clothes, which will bring trouble to your sister-in-law."
After hearing what her mother said, Yang Yujiao immediately looked bitter and put down the mink coat that she had been holding on to for just a minute.
The old couple of the Jia family in the west room are still wearing their old cotton-padded jackets! What are you doing wearing such a soft and smooth mink coat?
In just over a month, Yang Yujiao had gotten used to the looks of the Jia family. They looked at all the goodies in the house as greedily as dogs seeing meat bones.
Yang Yumin's motorcycle was locked as soon as he entered the house, otherwise he would have ridden it out countless times.
The big color TV was just a decoration, and even the antenna was removed, for fear that any noise would attract the greed of the Jia family.
[You have it, why don’t I? We are blood relatives! ]
Yang Yujiao heard this sentence more than once or twice.
But Li Yue didn't listen to Yang Huaihua's advice! She forced Yang Yujiao to put it on, and then dragged her mother-in-law and husband to watch an open-air movie.
Li Yue was the oldest in the family at the moment, and the three of them were very helpless and could only follow her to a large open space several dozen meters away.
At this time, there were already many people sitting in the open space. Neighbors and nearby residents all gathered together, laughing and making it very lively.
"They are all in front! Let's go to another place and not be next to them."
"No, right here. This is the clearest place to see it."
Yang Huaihua wanted to stay away from the Jia family, but Li Yue insisted on staying close to them. She had to see clearly, but no one knew what she wanted to see.
It gets dark early in winter, and the movie started shortly after Li Yue and others sat down.
The opening scene was a fierce battle scene, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, it's a war movie, and it's in color. This time it's really good, not some old movie that's just messing around."
"You have high expectations for a free movie. An old movie is better than nothing."
"I didn't say the old movie was bad! But isn't this one better?"
Because the "rotational war" in the south had not yet ended, movies about the war between the south and monkeys were very popular.
Most of the war movies before that were in black and white.
However, this battle scene is obviously not a battle with monkeys, but a battle with white elephants.
It was a thrilling pursuit battle, with several soldiers from the Flower-Growing Family chasing a group of White Elephant soldiers, which looked even more exciting.
Unfortunately, the battle scenes in this movie are not long. After a few minutes, a dark and dilapidated mountain village appears on the screen.
The sound from the loud speaker of the village committee was very vague, and it kept repeating one sentence: "Huaihua, come to the brigade immediately. Huaihua, come to the brigade immediately."
Yang Huaihua, who was sitting under the screen with a worried look on her face, suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and the scene from more than 20 years ago instantly appeared in her mind.
It was a sunny day. I was serving dinner to my paralyzed mother-in-law when I suddenly heard a call from the village loudspeaker.
Yang Huaihua did not dare to delay. He quickly settled his mother-in-law and rushed to the village brigade. However, due to malnutrition, he walked so lightly that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
That was the last year of the natural disaster, and everyone was in the same situation, but Yang Huaihua had elderly people at home and a soldier defending the country at the border, so the village team would sometimes give her a little more food.
So Yang Huaihua arrived at the brigade headquarters happily, but then she saw two people in military uniforms.
A thin letter of honor, a light certificate of martyrdom, a small medal, and two extremely standard salutes took away the husband that Yang Huaihua had longed for day and night.
Yang Huaihua remembered that she only said one sentence at that time: "Where are the ashes?"
The ashes of martyrs are generally not given to their families, so it was useless for Yang Huaihua to ask.
Yang Huaihua couldn't remember how she walked back home. She only remembered that day in 1962, the sky was gray and there was no sunlight at all.
"Mom, why don't we stop watching and go home!"
Li Yue's voice brought Yang Huaihua back from her trance.
Only then did Yang Huaihua realize that she had been crying unknowingly, and her daughter-in-law Li Yue was using a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"It's okay. I'm old, but I always think about all kinds of things. Don't mind me. Let's watch the movie. It's great."
The movie is really good to watch. The director and actors are very talented. They brought a woman who holds up the entire sky to life in front of the audience.
However, Yang Yumin, who was very careful, gradually realized that something was wrong. Why did this movie look so familiar?
Sure enough, when Huaihua, played by Liu Xiaoru, opened the door and picked up a swaddling cloth while fetching water in the early morning, Yang Yumin finally understood.
Why has Li Yue always advised himself to be patient and wait for more than a month?
Yang Yumin couldn't understand why Li Yue, who had a bad temper, could tolerate it.
But now, after watching this movie and thinking about the relationship between my unconventional brother-in-law and the film studio, this series of questions suddenly had answers.
This movie is about me!
"Huaihua, we can't keep this child. He is only three months old at most. There is no one in the village who has breast milk. How can we raise him?"
"That's right. The child didn't cry all night. It's obvious that no one else could feed him, so they sent him to your door. They must have been attracted by your pension. But how much food can you buy with money these days?"
"Throw it away while the child is still young! If you keep it for a few months, you won't be able to throw it away anymore."
Everyone in the village advised Yang Huaihua to abandon the child. They couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they take care of a baby who was only breathing his last breath?
But Yang Huaihua hugged the child tightly and refused to give it to anyone. Even if someone said, "If you wean the child at three months, you'd be a fool to raise him," Yang Huaihua was determined not to give it to anyone.
In the end, with no milk, cattle or sheep in the village, Yang Huaihua used her meager pension to buy millet and fed the child bite by bite until he was alive.
Then she named the child "Chun'er", thinking that since spring has come, hope has also come, right?
Yang Yumin cried because his nickname was Chun'er.
He stretched out his hand to pull his wife and lean on Li Yue's shoulder, but ended up pulling nothing.
Li Yue was leaning his body and stretching his neck to look forward.
She was looking at the people from the Jia family. She wanted to see clearly whether the expressions on their faces were interesting or not.
The Jia family's expressions were not interesting, but rather very confused.
【Why does today's movie feel more and more awkward the more I watch it? 】
This person has done something wrong and is most afraid of others knowing it, and even more afraid of many people knowing it.
So what they are thinking at this moment is - this is not me, this is definitely not me, if you don’t believe me, just read on.
The more they looked down, the more dumbfounded they became.
"Chun'er" was not a fool as others said. Instead, she was very smart. She was always the top student in the school. In the end, she made it through the entrance exam to Beijing and became a university student admired by everyone.
The village raised money for the travel expenses and the county gave a bonus. Thanks to Chun'er's hard work, the spring of locust flowers finally arrived.
But in this spring, an evil wind blew.
Just before Chun'er was about to go to college, Chun'er's biological parents showed up.
Of course Chun'er didn't recognize them and cursed and rejected them sternly.
But at this time, many people appeared and came to act as lobbyists, advising Chun'er that they should not forget their roots as they are blood relatives, and advising Yang Huaihua to be magnanimous and believe that good people will be rewarded.
“.”
The nearly one thousand audience members in the open-air cinema couldn't help themselves when they saw this, and they all burst into anger with the unique Beijing swear words.
"Grandma, when that child can't be raised, who would believe that good people will be rewarded? Why are you jumping out and pretending to be a big ass now?"
"That's right, I won't admit it even if you beat me to death. Just use a broom to beat them away."
“.”
The Jia family sat under the screen, listening to the scolding from the audience around them. It was so uncomfortable.
At this moment, they didn't know whether to leave or stay. They just hoped that the movie would end quickly so that they could sneak home in the dark and cover their heads in bed.
But the subsequent plot suddenly confused them.
Chun'er graduated from university and found a beautiful wife in Beijing. He borrowed money from everywhere to buy two houses and brought Huaihua and his sister from his hometown to Beijing.
As a result, the biological father and mother did not give up and actually chased after him.
"Hey, think about it, why do I seem to have heard about this thing in the movie?"
"I think I've heard of it, right? Wasn't that the family that got married a while ago? My second uncle went to watch the fun.
But their house is not just two rooms, it is a big yard. Also, my second uncle said that the daughter-in-law is really beautiful, prettier than Liu Xiaoqing, Gong Xing, and Pan Hong.
“.”
[It’s over. It’s over.]
Everyone in the Jia family felt that their fate was over.
Having experienced ups and downs, they know too well the power of "gossip can melt gold". If you only stole a sweet potato, but everyone says you stole a piece of gold, then you have stolen a piece of gold.
What's more, everything in this movie is real.
It is murderous and heartbreaking, extremely insulting, there is no way to wash it off!
At this moment, not to mention Yang Yumin, even Yang Huaihua had started to think about what was going on.
They all turned their heads to look at Li Yue, and found that Li Yue was looking smugly at the Jia family members in front of him with a very abnormal smile on his face.
Yang Yumin, who has written many literary works, quickly came up with a suitable description for his wife's smile:
She is so beautiful, and is grinning smugly.
Thanks to book friend "dchan168" for the 2,000-point reward, thanks to book friend "Chaldea Succubus" for the 600-coin reward, thanks to book friend "A Kiss That Never Meet" for the reward, thanks to book friend "Mr. Zhihu" for the reward, thank you.
In addition, my background only shows the names of these book friends, which is somewhat different from the number of rewards. If there are book friends that Lao Feng has not thanked, please accept Lao Feng’s sincere thanks. Thank you!
