Huang Wanzhen laughed, "Of course I won't become a movie star. I'm so busy, how can I have time to make a movie?"
"You can't go even if you have time." Mrs. Huang grabbed Huang Wanzhen's hand with a serious face.
Huang Wanzhen quickly said, "Hey!", "No, no, don't worry."
"Aunt!" Not long after she sat down, a small figure suddenly ran in from outside and rushed into Mrs. Huang's arms.
"Hey there! My dear Zhenzhen! Where have you been playing?"
Zhenzhen glanced at Huang Wanzhen shyly, and without replying to Mrs. Huang Dong's words, she called out to Huang Wanzhen, "Auntie."
"Hey!" Huang Wanzhen smiled as she pulled out a small silver bracelet from her handbag and put it on her wrist. "I saw it when I went to Dong'an Market to buy some goods last time. Although it's made of silver, it looks quite unique. Try it on for fun."
Mrs. Huang Dong touched the little girl's head lovingly and said, "Why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"
"Thank you, auntie."
Huang Wanzhen also patted the little girl's head. "Good girl! Our Zhenzhen is so polite. She even knows how to say thank you."
Mrs. Huang glanced at her sideways and said, "I would have told you this a long time ago. If you don't come back, Zhenzhen will be able to marry into her family."
Huang Wanzhen smiled good-naturedly, "This is all for my studies. I'll be back after I graduate."
Mrs. Huang glanced at her sideways. "Don't try to fool me. Boss Song went to the same school as you, but he transferred to Shanghai. If she could transfer, why couldn't you?"
Huang Wanzhen continued to laugh, "How can I compare to her family background? Even if she didn't take the college entrance exam, she could still go to college with the help of her family. I can't do that."
These words made Huang Dongshi feel upset and she stopped talking.
The next morning, before Huang Wanzhen got up, Song Wenyin rushed over and said, "Ah, Huang Wanzhen, come out!"
Huang Wanzhen, in her pajamas, opened the door sleepily. "Why are you here so early? Have you eaten?"
Song Wenyin pushed her pocket watch against Huang Wanzhen's face and said, "Look, it's already nine o'clock. Is it still early?"
Huang Wanzhen quickly took a step back and took the pocket watch. It was eight forty. "Are you blind? It's only a little after eight."
Song Wenyin took it and took a look. "It's almost nine o'clock. Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll take you out shopping. I'll pay the bill."
Mrs. Huang had already changed into a crimson cheongsam and was waiting in the first-floor hall. Upon hearing the two men's loud voices, she hurriedly called out, "Didn't you say yesterday that you'd go to the movies with me? I've already bought the tickets."
Song Wenyin turned around and walked to the stairs, shouting down, "Auntie, do you still want to go to the movies? Julie only looks like your eldest daughter, but she is much prettier than your eldest daughter."
Huang Wanzhen thought, even Song Wenyin knew about this, it seemed that her mother went to the movies quite often.
"Would you like to go to the movies together?"
Song Wenyin nodded, "Okay, after watching the movie, let's go shopping."
The driver took the three of them to Songshan Cinema on Xiafei Road. When Huang Wanzhen got off the car, she saw a large poster posted at the door. To be honest, at first glance she really thought it was Huang Wanshu. But when she looked closely, she found that she was much prettier than Huang Wanshu.
"Did you see it? Does it look like your sister?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded, "Yeah, similar, but prettier than my sister."
Song Wenyin lifted her skirt and walked in first, "Let's go, it's about to start."
This movie is a romance film called "The Singing Girl Yanqiu", which tells the love story between the singing girl Yanqiu and the son of a wealthy family, Mu Shaoyun.
The story is very cliché. When Yanqiu went out, she was stopped and teased. Mu Shaoyun happened to pass by and saved Yanqiu. Later, the two had frequent contacts and fell in love with each other.
The problem was that Mu Shaoyun already had a wife at home. She was married to him by the orders of his parents and the matchmaker. Although Mu Shaoyun did not like her, he still married her out of responsibility and had a son with her.
Mu's father and mother were old-fashioned. After knowing that Mu Shaoyun was with a singer, they firmly opposed their relationship.
Mu Shaoyun and Yanqiu went through all kinds of hardships and tests, and finally the lovers got married.
After Huang Wanzhen came out of the cinema, her whole face was black. Song Wenyin turned to look at Huang Dongshi and found that Huang Dongshi's face was not very good either.
Well, it seems I’m not in the mood to go shopping, so I found a cafe and ordered three cups of coffee and some desserts.
"Aunt, movies nowadays are all about breaking through feudal shackles and bravely pursuing love. If you don't want to watch it, you don't have to buy a ticket. What's the point of spending money and not being happy?"
The actress who played Yanqiu in "The Singing Girl Yanqiu" was Julie. When Mrs. Huang saw that she had a face similar to her eldest daughter, but was following Mu Shaoyun without any status, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter and felt very uncomfortable.
"Fools, you're all a bunch of idiots. What do you mean by breaking through the shackles of feudalism? I don't know what you young people are thinking. You actually advocate things that disobey your elders, betray your family, and corrupt morality."
Huang Wanzhen helped Huang Dongshi add sugar and milk to her coffee. "Hey! Don't lump everyone in the same swamp. I don't recommend it. I don't even like watching it. If you hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have wasted so much time watching a movie with such a perverse outlook."
Mrs. Huang looked at Huang Wanzhen with a loving expression, "I knew that the daughter I raised would be the most knowledgeable and well-mannered."
Huang Wanzhen took a few deep breaths and rubbed her temples. "Don't be so confident. Don't forget that you have an older daughter."
Mrs. Huang was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and asked with a worried look on her face, "How is Mr. Qiu treating your sister? Is she, is she doing well?"
"I don't know, but I think I'm doing pretty well."
Huang Dongshi forced herself to cheer up and nodded, "That's good, that's good."
Song Wenyin felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She looked at Huang Wanzhen, then at Huang Dongshi. Forget it, she didn't have time to go shopping, and she could save money.
When it comes to the Chinese New Year, the happiest people are children. Zhenzhen filled one pocket with candies and the other with red envelopes. After lunch, she curled up on the sofa and started taking out red envelopes.
There were fifty-cent notes and one-yuan notes. After counting them for a while, she finally took out a five-yuan note. Little Zhenzhen smiled so much that her teeth were showing and handed it directly to Huang Dongshi beside her. "Grandma, I'll show you a movie."
Huang Wanzhen opened her eyelids and took a look, then closed them again. "Mom, how much money do you have on you? Can you lend me some?"
Huang Dongshi paused her hand on Zhenzhen's head and looked at Huang Wanzhen curiously, "What are you doing?"
Huang Wanzhen sighed deeply and looked at Mrs. Huang weakly. "Many of the clients of Beiping Jixiangtang are the wives of powerful families. Occasionally, I have to attend the banquets they hold. I don't have any decent jewelry on me. Xiuqing even said that I am far inferior to Mrs. Song."
As she spoke, her eyes dodged, avoiding Mrs. Huang's gaze. "I'm not trying to compete with Mr. Song. Our family has fallen on hard times, and I don't necessarily need to wear expensive jewelry. It's just that I've worn fake jewelry a few times and was always ridiculed, and it made me feel bad."
