Many people came to watch movies during the National Day holiday. There were many young people and a family at the door.

At the door, Chuxia and her friends saw Bangzi and his kids. They no longer sell ice cream, but melon seeds, peanuts and soda. Many people bought them.

Chuxia and Cen Zheng had not been there for years, so Anan went to talk to them alone. Because the movie hadn't started yet, he helped the kids sell things for a while.

When he came over, he was holding a paper bag of melon seeds and peanuts in his hand, and he handed it directly to Chuxia: "Mom, you eat it."

Chuxia took it without being polite, and asked Cen Huaian: "Did you give me the money?"

"Brother Bang didn't want it, he said it was a gift for us."

"You have to give it anyway." Chuxia asked An An to send the money back. She didn't know how he talked to Bangzi. She only saw Bangzi frowned and looked at her, and then took the money.

Entering the cinema, Cen Huaian held Chuxia's hand tightly, looking at the cinema curiously.

He had never been to a cinema before, and it was so big, and it could fit so many chairs!

How were the movies shown? What was the big white cloth in the middle used for?

He had many questions in his mind, but he didn't ask anything. He just guessed randomly in his mind.

After Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian took him to his seat, he sat in his seat and couldn't help turning his head back and forth, touching the chair here and there.

Chuxia felt his excitement, grabbed his hands, pointed to the big white cloth facing the family of three and said, "When the movie starts, the picture will appear on it. It's almost the same as watching TV at home, but the movie screen is bigger."

As she said, Cen Huaian's attention was attracted to the white cloth, and his eyes showed curiosity.

Chuxia was about to say a few words about the principle of movie projection, and Cen Zhengnian suddenly asked from the side, "An An, do you want to know how the movie is projected?"

Cen Huaian immediately turned his head to look at him, and hesitated and said "um".

Hearing this, Cen Zhengnian smiled, stood up from his chair, and pulled An An up as well, saying, "Then let's go see how the movie is shown." Cen Huaian

's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Chu Xia, his eyes expressing only one meaning: he wanted to see it.

Chu Xia waved her hands, "You guys go."

Cen Zhengnian also reached out to Chu Xia, "Let's go together?"

Chu Xia shook her head, "I won't go. There are too many people and the projectionist won't be happy."

Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Cen Zhengnian didn't insist. He took Cen Huaian's hand and walked out of the chair and walked towards the projectionist in the middle.

At this time, when showing movies, a projectionist sat in the middle of the theater, higher than the height of the people, operating a projector.

When Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian went there, there were many children gathered there, all of whom were curious about the projector and showing movies.

When Cen Zhengnian went over to ask, the projectionist said in a good-tempered manner: "Look, look. You can only look but not touch."

This projectionist has a good temper, otherwise there wouldn't be so many children surrounding him. If the projectionist has a bad temper, he won't let people get close.

Cen Huaian looked at the projector next to the projectionist and thought it looked weird. There were many things on it that he didn't recognize. He was going to leave after watching the movie.

So Cen Huaian couldn't help but pull Cen Zhengnian's sleeve: "What is that?"

Cen Zhengnian looked in the direction that Cen Huaian pointed. There were two things like wheels on the projector with film rolled on them.

"This is..." Cen Zhengnian's voice rang slowly in the noisy cinema. The children around him all looked at him intently, their eyes wide open as they listened to him talk about the parts on the projector and what those parts did.

The expressions on their faces were also rich, sometimes full of confusion, and sometimes suddenly enlightened.

Cen Huaian listened as attentively as they did, and even memorized every word that Cen Zhengnian said.

It turns out that projecting a movie is not that easy.

When it was time for the show, the projectionist began to ushers people away: "The movie is showing! The movie is showing! Go back and sit down!"

Cen Zhengnian reached out and touched Cen Huaian's head, bent down and said: "Let's go find mom?"

Cen Huaian already understood how the movie was projected, and nodded. Cen Zhengnian led him back.

But he was still curious about how the projectionist projected the movie, so he turned around and kept watching, and continued to watch until he returned to his seat.

Fortunately, the distance between where they were sitting was also in the middle, and not far from the projectionist's position, so he could see it if he tried hard.

Not long after he sat down, the theater suddenly went dark, and then a strong light was cast on the white cloth in the front.

With the sound of "tick, tick, tick", the two wheels that Cen Huaian was curious about at the beginning started to turn, and the movie slowly appeared on the screen.

Cen Zhengnian said so much, but it was not as amazing as the real projection of the projector now. From the moment the lights in the theater went out, Cen Huaian was reluctant to blink.

Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian ignored him and completely satisfied his curiosity.

It was not until the movie started for a while that Cen Huaian sat down steadily and watched the movie seriously. Chuxia looked at Cen Huaian, then at Cen Zhengnian, and stuffed the bag of melon seeds and peanuts into Cen Zhengnian's arms.

It was troublesome to eat these in the cinema, and she couldn't just throw the melon seed shells and peanut shells on the ground like others, so it was better not to eat them.

When the movie ended, Cen Huaian still felt a little unsatisfied.

The plot of the movie "A Happy Family" is not complicated. It tells the story of the family affairs in a peasant family in the north. The ending is also very good. The fussy sister-in-law realizes her mistake, and the whole family is happy.

So An An can understand it and watch it with relish.

After watching it, the thing he remembered most clearly in his mind was the bowl of dumplings that were hidden. He also wanted to eat dumplings.

When Chu Xia walked out of the cinema door, she saw Bangzi and others. They were squatting at the door and wanted to give Chu Xia and them soda.

Chu Xia didn't want it.

"It's not easy for you to do business, don't be so generous."

Bangzi scratched his head, looked at Chuxia and said, "I bought it for Auntie."

Chuxia knew why Bangzi was like this, because it was Chuxia who helped him to go to school with Chopsticks Cat, and his grandmother finally agreed.

He didn't know how to thank her, so he wanted to give her some.

Chuxia met his stubborn eyes and reached out to take the soda: "This is the only time. If you do this again, I will be angry."

"Okay!" Bangzi showed a pure and brilliant smile on his face, and ran out with chopsticks and the cat, saying as he ran: "The movie is great!"

Chuxia couldn't help laughing and said to Cen Zhengnian: "They just sneaked in to watch a movie."

Cen Zhengnian was dazzled by her smile, and suddenly felt his heart beating a little faster. He touched his chest and said "hmm" softly.

It is very normal for someone to sneak into the cinema to watch a movie at this time. Many children sneak in, and of course there are adults, this can't be controlled.

After leaving the cinema, it was still early, so Cen Zhengnian and Chuxia took Cen Huaian to the park to take a boat, watch the autumn scenery, and then the family walked to the vegetable market.

"What are we having for lunch?"

Chu Xia asked casually while looking at the dishes at the market. She didn't expect the two to answer.

Because usually An An would eat whatever she cooked, and he himself couldn't even tell what was delicious. Cen Zhengnian didn't have any opinions either.

Who knew that today, as soon as she asked, she heard Cen Huaian blurt out: "Dumplings!"

Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time, remembering the content of the movie just now.

But she had never made dumplings before. There were many steps to making dumplings, and it was quite troublesome. Especially when it came to chopping the fillings, she didn't have enough strength, and she was afraid that she would be tired before she could chop the fillings well.

But now that Cen Zhengnian is here, this problem is solved. Chuxia clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's eat dumplings! Let's go buy some meat."

After returning home, Chuxia sat on the corridor and instructed Cen Zhengnian to chop the meat: "The meat on the left is still a little big, chop it more."

A neighbor from the family compound passed by and saw Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian like this, their eyes widened: "Chuxia, you are so lucky! Zhengnian loves you so much."

Chuxia accepted their envy: "Yes, yes. He is always afraid that I will be tired and doesn't want me to do it. Sister-in-law, you can also let your brother help you cook!"

Every time he heard Chuxia say this, Cen Zhengnian would look at her with a smile, without saying anything. He just thought in his heart: his wife is much more cheerful now.

Chuxia noticed his look and glared at him unhappily: "What are you looking at? Chop your meat!"

Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian rolled the dumpling wrappers together.

Cen Zhengnian didn't know how to do it at first, so Chuxia taught him. He was not a clumsy person. After only two teachings, he was already able to roll it out like a pro. Later, he gradually got better and better.

Chuxia called Cen Huaian and asked him to come over to help make dumplings.

"You teach An An how to roll the dumpling wrappers. After you teach me, I will teach you how to make dumplings." She instructed Cen Zhengnian.

"Okay." Cen Zhengnian didn't have any objections and was very patient when teaching Cen Huaian.

However, it became difficult for him to learn to make dumplings later. He couldn't get the shape of the dumplings at all after pinching them. Either the fillings came out, or they were soft and shapeless.

Cen Zhengnian looked at the strange-shaped dumplings, and then at the dumplings that Chuxia had made that looked like ingots. He wanted to hide them.

Chuxia looked at him with a half-smile, took the dumpling skin from his hand and said, "Okay, don't waste the stuffing. Let An'an go play, and you roll the skin."

Cen Huaian didn't go out to play either. He helped Chuxia make dumplings. Although he was small and had small hands, the dumplings he made were much better looking than Cen Zhengnian's.

The main reason was that he was smart. He put in a little bit of stuffing each time. Although he was slow to make dumplings, he made them just right.

Chuxia praised him generously, "You're better at making dumplings than your father!"

Cen Huaian's eyes curved, and he looked at Cen Zhengnian and made more efforts.

The dumplings were stuffed with pork and beans, and were especially delicious. The meat was chopped firmly and elastically, and the taste was moderately salty. With a small dish of vinegar, Cen Huaian ate a whole small bowl, and Cen Zhengnian also ate a lot.

During the lunch break, Cen Huaian thought with satisfaction: No wonder the people in the movie hid the dumplings, because they are so delicious, and if grandma comes to eat them, he will also hide them.

In the afternoon, Chuxia took An An to the Children's Palace, and Teacher Guo Lin was still in the classroom.

The two happened to meet him giving a Go introductory class to the children, so they sat in the back and listened attentively.

After the class, some children surrounded Guo Lin to ask questions, and some were not interested and left one after another.

Until only Chuxia and a few others were left in the classroom, Guo Lin finally saw them, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Have you discussed it?"

"Yes."

After the National Day, Chuxia went to work and Cen Huaian went to school.

The children seemed to be still immersed in the atmosphere of the festival. Everyone came to school and talked about what they did during the National Day.

Cen Huaian never participated in such topics before, but today, after Chenchen said that he was taken by his parents to appreciate peonies, he turned around and asked him what he did during the National Day.

An An took out three movie tickets calmly and said in a seemingly casual tone: "My parents took me to see a movie."

"Wow!"

Watching a movie is a very trendy thing in the minds of children. If anyone says that he has watched a movie, he will be surrounded and questioned.

Amidst all the children's questions, Cen Huaian tried to suppress his happiness and said nonchalantly, "You'll know when you see it." He

stopped talking after that. Of course, he wouldn't give movie tickets to anyone who wanted to see him.

He asked his parents for these. He would only bring them to school today. When he got home, he put them in his treasure box and hid them well.

Cen Huaian started playing Go at school. Chenchen couldn't understand how to play the game at all.

He watched it for a while and thought it was too difficult: "An An, what game are you playing?"

"Go." Cen Huaian didn't look up. He held the chess pieces in his hands, thinking about what the teacher taught him and how to play.

Chenchen's eyes widened. He had no idea what game it was. But this was normal. He only cared about eating, drinking and having fun every day. He learned all the chess he knew from An An.

"What kind of chess is this?"

Cen Huaian finally turned around and looked at Chenchen: "You can't learn it."

But for the sake of candy, Cen Huaian and Chenchen still played several rounds of Go.

Chuxia had told him many times about the consequences of eating too much candy, but Cen Huaian loved it, and his teeth had never hurt, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

Until today after dinner, he felt that his teeth were a little swollen, but when he went to bed at night, the pain was so swollen that he couldn't stand it anymore. He covered his cheeks and groaned in bed.

Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian had never seen him like this before, and they were anxious. She hugged Cen Huaian and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Do you have a headache? Can you still speak?"

Cen Zhengnian had quickly put on his clothes, and without saying a word, he hugged Cen Huaian and said: "Let's go to the hospital!"

"Tooth! I have a toothache!"

Cen Huaian finally said it, his little face wrinkled because of the toothache, looking very pitiful.

Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was a toothache, and pried open his teeth to see, and found that the gums of the right big tooth had swollen, and the details of the teeth could not be seen.

She frowned and said to Cen Zhengnian, "Let me check his teeth first."

She took out a flashlight from the drawer and carefully looked at the place where Cen Huaian said his toothache was. She saw the gap between his two big teeth on the right side, and there were already symptoms of tooth decay.

Fortunately, the tooth cavity didn't look deep, and it probably didn't hurt the tooth nerve, so it wasn't the most serious.
