Chapter 218 What is the purpose



The tricycle moved slowly towards the wooden fence. Wang Shuifeng in the yard glanced at it casually. This alley was crowded with people coming and going every day, and she couldn't recognize them all. Moreover, it was not clear at night, and even if she could see clearly, she might not recognize Meng Taohua.

At this time, Meng Tao's hair had grown to her shoulders. She usually kept it that way, but tonight she specially tied it into two neat braids and wrapped a pink scarf around her to cover half of her face. Not to mention Wang Shuifeng, even someone familiar with her might not recognize her at a glance.

Two men walked out of the house. They were Tian Zhiyuan and Tian Laoliu. Tian Laoliu pestered Tian Zhiyuan and said something to him. After being yelled at by Tian Zhiyuan, he slumped over to Wang Shuifeng and pulled Wang Shuifeng's sleeve to beg: "Mom, please talk to Fourth Brother, let me go with you!"

Wang Shuifeng said, "Old Four, how about..."

Tian Zhiyuan was impatient: "How about I not go and let Lao Liu go, okay?"

"How can you talk like that, kid? Wouldn't it be nice to ask Lao Liu to keep you company?"

"Mom! Do you think we're going to Mengzhou or the provincial capital? We're going to Y Province, Y Province! Do you know? How much does it cost to go from here to Y Province via two provinces? Third brother only gave us this much money, how can it be enough for two people? Also, I got a certificate for going out in the village a while ago, so I just need to change the date. Old Six doesn't even have a certificate, how can he go?"

"That's true." Wang Shuifeng turned around and patted Tian Laoliu: "You, just stay at home honestly, listen to your third brother and read books carefully. Read the newspaper to your third brother more often during the day. He can't get out of bed yet, and he feels irritated lying in bed all day."

Tian Laoliu said angrily: "I am not allowed to go to school. What can I understand? Third brother is partial. He is only good to fourth brother and lets him travel. But seventh brother and I stay at home every day like frogs in a well!"

Tian Zhiyuan tapped him on the head and said, "I want to travel? Then go ahead. That's risking your life, don't you understand? Go if you have the guts!"

Wang Shuifeng: "Stop yelling! Your third brother said that this matter cannot be told to anyone!"

"Don't worry, even if they heard us, they wouldn't know what we said."

"Have you packed your luggage? You have to catch an early bus to Mengzhou tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight. I have to make you some pancakes for the journey."

"Make more. This is all the money my third brother gave me. I didn't get much in exchange for food coupons. I don't know if it's enough for me to eat and live on."

"Got it. I bought a dozen eggs today to supplement your brother's nutrition, and I also cooked a few for you to take with you."

“…”

The tricycle moved slowly and gradually went away, and no one could hear what the Tian mother and son were saying anymore.

Zhang Di asked Meng Tao with a smile: "Isn't it fun? Their family has been like this since they moved in. They either quarrel or fight. A few days ago, the sixth child even fought with the seventh child. He pushed the child to the ground and beat him."

Zhang Fu glared at him: "You want to learn from them too? Go home and fight me?"

Zhang Di shook his head: "I can't beat you now, but I won't beat you even if I can beat you later!"

Meng Tao asked: "If you can beat him, why not fight him?"

Zhang Di shook his head proudly: "I only have this brother, I love him so much, why would I hit him?"

Meng Tao was quite surprised. She had never realized that this naughty boy actually had such a high emotional intelligence.

Jinniu smiled and reached out to touch Zhangdi's little head. Zhang Fu rolled his eyes at his silly brother. He was small but spoke lightly. Who loves who?

Zhang Fu asked Zhang Di to buy the movie tickets later. Zhang Di said no problem, one ticket is ten cents, bring the money. Jinniu had some money on him, so he took it out immediately. Zhang Fu stopped him, saying that it was his own territory in the county, so how could Jinniu pay for the movie? Meng Tao sat next to him and said nothing, seemingly watching Jinniu and the Zhang brothers pushing each other, but in fact she was thinking about what the Tian mother and son had just said.

From Wang Shuifeng's words, we can guess that Tian Zhigao is still lying in bed and unable to move. That means that apart from the opportunity of rebirth, he should not have any other plug-ins such as the space spiritual spring, otherwise it has been more than a month, and his injuries have not improved much, and the situation of the Tian family is just like this.

Meng Tao had traveled there in her previous life, more than once, because it was indeed very beautiful and charming, and she was willing to go there whenever she had the chance.

In this era, most people have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and tourism is not popular. The scenic spots that people flock to in later generations have basically not been developed. What on earth did Tian Zhiyuan go there for? It is worth exploring!

When they arrived at the cinema, they saw that there were quite a lot of people. The posters on the wall stated the titles of the films showing tonight, which were the battle feature films "The Battle of South and North" and "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". There were actually two films being shown in a row, which meant that one ticket could buy them two movies. Zhang Fu smiled and said that this was a weekend benefit. Zhang Di was overjoyed and took the money given by his brother and hurried to buy the tickets.

Zhang Fu pushed the tricycle to the place where bicycles were parked, locked it, and stood and waited for a while with Jinniu and Meng Tao. Then Zhang Di ran back happily holding the movie tickets. He pulled Zhang Fu's clothes and asked him to lower his head. The two brothers whispered a few words to each other, and Zhang Fu reached into his pocket and took out two cents. Zhang Di took the money and ran away again.

When he came back, he was holding two newspaper rolls in his arms. Without Zhang Fu saying anything, he stuffed a bag into Meng Tao's hand. Meng Tao took it in her hand and smelled the aroma of roasted nuts. She opened it and found it was sunflower seeds, a big bag. At ten cents a bag, it was well worth it.

After entering the cinema with the tickets, there was no need for the staff to find seats because of Zhang Di, a smart guy. The four of them sat in a row. Meng Tao said to Jin Niu, "Before the show starts, take a look. This is the cinema."

As he spoke, he could not help laughing. Zhang Di even laughed exaggeratedly on purpose, and was only silenced by a slap from Zhang Fu.

Jinniu turned his head and looked around: "This is just a big house? It feels a bit stuffy, not as good as our country. In the country, movies are shown in the open air courtyard, the space is wide and breathable."

Meng Tao and Zhang Di munched on melon seeds without saying a word.

Zhang Fu laughed: "It must be fun to show movies in the countryside. I will go to your village to watch a movie when I have the chance."

"Okay, I heard from Captain Bao that the film team sometimes comes twice a month, and sometimes once every month, and they show the film in the playground of the elementary school."

"Hey, doesn't your village have electricity?"

"The film crew has a generator and a few big boxes. They call them speakers. When you come, I'll prepare a film for you."

"What's it for?"

"Be prepared for rain. Sometimes it starts raining when you're halfway through a movie. Then you can take out the film and cover your head with it and continue watching."

"Do you wear a film every time you go to the movies?"

"Yes, I have experience."

"What about the projectionist and the machine?"

"The machine is covered by a big umbrella, so the projectionist just needs to wear a raincoat."

"Hahaha!"

“Hehehe!”

As the two people were chatting and laughing, the lights dimmed, and a strong light from above shone onto the screen, and the movie began.
