Chapter 31 Watching a Movie
"Mom, I inherited this from you. When the educated youth came just now, you smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum. Didn't you say you were going to sell the dried fruits? Why did you give them away?"
When Wu Qingyun heard this, he thought, well, who am I doing this for?
If it weren't for the brat standing there like an idiot, why would she be so anxious?
Before Wu Qingyun could open his mouth to ask who made you like Song Zhiqing, Lu Yong slapped Lu Pingan with a "pa".
"Hey, second brother, why are you pushing me?"
Lu Yong shook his head helplessly, and the next second he smiled foolishly at Lu Ping'an: "How can you describe it like that? You have studied for several years. You should say that our mother's smile is as bright as a sunflower."
Wu Qingyun: ……………………Is this the point?
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Go wash your hands and eat! The food is getting cold!"
Wu Qingyun pushed the two men into the kitchen. They smelled like wild boar, which was really unpleasant.
"You're not waiting for Dad?"
Lu Pingan tilted his head.
"The projectionist will finally come to our village tomorrow. Your father has something to arrange today, so we will eat by ourselves."
Movie projectionist is a popular job nowadays. In this day and age when spiritual food is scarce, movies are one of the rare pleasures. Not to mention how popular they are!
So when the movie projectionist comes, the villagers have to make arrangements in advance. Those who like to make trouble have to be warned in advance, and they also have to prepare some things to build good relationships with the projectionist.
Therefore, wild boars hunted at this time can definitely be sold. Going to the movies is no less than a village dinner. Every household will take out food that they usually eat during the Chinese New Year. Whoever eats better will be envied for a while.
Lu Ping'an almost forgot to bring food to the movies. He rolled his eyes for a long time, looked at his two brothers who were showing off their food like crazy, and stretched out a finger to poke Lu's mother secretly.
Wu Qingyun hated her very much at this moment as she knew her son too well and could tell at one glance that he had nothing good to say.
She moved her elbow away: "If you have to fart, do it now."
Lu Ping'an grinned: "Mom, everyone brings food to the movies, I want to eat lard residue."
The fried lard residue is fragrant and crispy, not greasy, and is very suitable as a snack while watching a movie. Shen Zhiqing should also like it.
…
the next day.
We watched a movie in the evening, and the village gave everyone half a day off in the afternoon to give everyone time to prepare.
Shen Xiaoyue thought about her plan for tonight and took it even more seriously.
She boiled a kettle of water and washed her body clean, then scooped a dollop of the vanishing cream she bought in the county last time and spread it evenly on her face. The vanishing cream smelled sweet and fragrant, and she also thoughtfully applied some on her wrists.
She took off her grey coat and put on the aqua green pleated dress that Lu Ping'an bought. She fastened her waist with a white belt, which showed off her slender waist.
She was wearing a pair of brown leather shoes brought from the city, revealing a section of her slender white calves.
She wore a white polka dot headband on her head and put some red lip balm on her lips. She looked fair and rosy, like a modern girl on a calendar.
It was the first time that Hu Qingqing saw Shen Xiaoyue dressed so formally. She resisted the urge to pinch her face and whispered in her ear, "Why don't you just stand far away today and let Comrade Lu take a look at you? I'm afraid he'll covet your beauty."
Shen Xiaoyue smiled and pinched Hu Qingqing's round little face, jokingly saying, "I'm afraid he doesn't covet it."
Hu Qingqing sighed sadly.
Chen Xing's eyes lit up when she saw her clothes. She had been taking care of Xie Ning diligently during this period of time, and she felt that things were almost coming to fruition. Xie Ning would occasionally hold her hand, and she now wanted to wear a beautiful dress to confess her feelings.
She had originally chosen them, but now she found that none of them were as good as the one on Shen Xiaoyue.
She asked sourly, "Cousin, this isn't cheap, is it? You haven't used up all the money your uncle gave you, have you?"
Shen Xiaoyue nodded: "What's the matter?"
Chen Xing felt that Chen Xiaoyue was just pretending to be fine. Last time she received a letter from home, her parents said that Xie Ning's family had a problem with Chen Xiaoyue. Now her uncle's family no longer sent money or things to Chen Xiaoyue. Her cousin was abandoned by everyone, and her family asked her to seize the opportunity.
"Sister, lend it to me when you're done wearing it."
Chen Xing asked shamelessly.
She used to be like this, if she wanted something from Shen Xiaoyue, she would act coquettishly, and if she said a few more words, Shen Xiaoyue would give it to her before long.
Chen Xiaoyue was speechless. How stupid was she in the past to make Chen Xing have the illusion that she had no temper? "Chen Xing, how shameless you are. You just irritated me and now you want my things with confidence. Do you think there's something wrong with my brain?"
Li Zhiqing loved gossip and had been eavesdropping. At this time, she felt that Shen Xiaoyue was going too far. After all, Shen Xing was her sister.
She couldn't help but guess that it was because Xie Zhiqing had been closer to her before, so she felt that Xie Zhiqing was hers; and now that Xie Zhiqing was closer to Chen Xing, she took out all her resentment on Chen Xing.
Li Zhiqing cleared his throat and began to educate: "Chen Xiaoyue, you and Chen Xing are sisters no matter what, you are going too far by saying that to her, and Chen Xing also cares about you."
"Don't think we don't know. The last time you came back from the county town, you brought a big bag of things. You bought them all yourself, right? They weren't sent by your family at all. Isn't Chen Xing saying this because he's afraid that you won't have enough after you use them up?"
"Besides, you can't blame Chen Xing just because Xie Zhiqing doesn't like you. Think more about your own problems. You should look for the reasons why you can't control Xie Zhiqing from yourself."
Shen Xiaoyue and Hu Qingqing were shocked by her distorted expression of the facts.
Is this Mandarin? Shouldn't these educated youth who went to the countryside have received some education?
Chen Xiaoyue laughed: "Why don't you just give me money if you care about me so much? Who wouldn't show your concern verbally? Since you are so generous, why don't you give one to Chen Xing for me? What's the point of being generous to others?"
"What's wrong with me buying it myself? I have the money to buy it and don't need my family to send it. Can you do that? It's my business after I use it up. What does it have to do with you?"
She turned to look at Chen Xing: "Also, did I tell you to stay away from me? Go pee with Xie Ning and look at yourselves before talking to me."
Hu Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, "Li Zhiqing, if you are so nosy, why don't you just sweep up the chicken shit at the door? We both stink."
Chen Xing and Li Zhiqing were so angry that their faces turned red and they glared with their eyes wide open, wanting to fight back. However, Chen Xiaoyue and Hu Qingqing walked out arm in arm, leaving the two of them stomping their feet in anger.
