When the one and a half hour film was over, everyone was still reluctant to leave. However, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to leave to make room for the next show.
Ye Chenghu reluctantly said, "Dad, when can we go to the cinema to watch a movie again?"
"If you behave yourself, there will be a next time. If you don't behave yourself, there won't be a next time."
"Dad, I also want to shave my head, and I also want to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts."
"Me too… "
The children at the surrounding exits were also clamoring to have their heads shaved, which made the adults feel helpless.
"Just make a fuss, go home!"
It was almost noon, and he was still thinking about going home to get money to redeem the medicine.
"Ah, are you going home so soon? Can't you hang out a little longer?"
"You've played for the whole morning, and you're still not satisfied? That's enough. You've shopped, bought, and watched a movie. Don't push yourself too far. Your mother is tired too, and she needs to go back to rest."
Looking at the pile of food hanging in his mother's hand, Ye Chenghu nodded reluctantly, "Okay."
After playing, the family happily got on the country bus to go home.
As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the village, the two children couldn't wait to get out of the car with a jumping toad each and run into the village with the sugar man.
Ye Chenghu ran along the sidelines, shouting and calling his friends, his excitement was evident in his expression. Ye Chengyang, who was following him, kept shouting, "Brother, wait for me..."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about the two children. He let them run around. When it was time for dinner, he would just come out and call them.
He took the pile of things from Lin Xiuqing's hand and asked with concern as they walked: "Are you tired?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and shook her head.
"Are you happy then?"
She tilted her head back and looked at him with a smile, "I'm happy, but I spent too much money."
"If you earn less, you spend less; if you earn more, you spend more. You will feel happy only when you spend money on things you like. What's more, these things don't cost much, just a few cents."
"You still say it's not much money? Those three pills are free, right?"
When she talked about this, she felt depressed. She just went in and said hello, and more than 300 yuan was gone. This is an average person's income for most of the year.
"That's life-saving medicine. It's worth buying three pills for more than three hundred yuan. You may not be able to buy it in the future. Today was also just luck."
She had already agreed with the other party, and they even helped her buy the goods. What else could she say? She could only shut up and go home.
Ye Yaodong followed with a smile.
As soon as he got home, he was pestered by a group of nephews and nieces. He had to share some of the snacks he brought back with them. Fortunately, there were plenty of them.
Like rice sticks, they are well received by all the children. They come in pink, yellow and white. Everyone is satisfied after taking a long one.
"Hey, when can we go to the market..."
"Or ask your father for help?"
"Don't even think about it. If you dare to say it, you'll either get beaten or scolded."
Ye Yaodong shrugged. There was nothing he could do. It was not that he did not want to take them with him, but the market was full of people and it was easy for them to get lost if they were not careful. Lost children usually did not have a good ending if they were abducted.
It was already past 12 o'clock when they got home, and it was too late to cook, so Lin Xiuqing simply cooked a pot of rice cakes. After filling their stomachs, Ye Yaodong took the money and rode his bicycle to town.
People should be honest and not go back on their word. He also values the medicine very much.
Hong Wenle is also a man of his word. When he went to the hotel and told the front desk, the front desk went to call someone, which must have been because they had received instructions.
Moreover, Hong Wenle laid out all five pills, "You can check them first, just in case."
"I believe you. You don't need this little money. There's no need to use fake medicine to trick me."
There is still some sense of trust.
"It's better to check it out to be safe."
If others are cautious, it would be disrespectful for him to refuse.
After carefully checking that it was the same as what he had just seen in the store, he paid the money directly and thanked the owner sincerely.
"You're welcome. Next time, if you come across a rare item like the oarfish, remember to send it to me. Otherwise, I may not be able to get it before others."
"Ah? Haha, I may not encounter this thing a second time."
"Anyway, I want all the rare ones."
"Okay then. It's hard to say what luck is. If there is any, I'll send it to you."
"Um."
After getting the precious medicine, Ye Yaodong put it deep in his pocket and rode his bike home.
When he entered the village, he deliberately turned to the old house, wanting to see how the old lady was doing today, but he didn't expect his mother to say that she had gone to her eldest cousin's house.
He stayed in the old house for a while and then went to his uncle's house. He was a little worried about her walking around at such an old age, so he decided to bring her back.
As a result, as soon as he stood at the door of his eldest cousin's wife's house, he saw the old lady pushing a few big unity bills wrapped in a handkerchief to his eldest cousin's wife. He simply didn't go in and just waited at the door.
The old lady can give her private money to whoever she wants. My eldest cousin is also her grandson. Although she feels sorry for him, it is normal to feel sorry for his family.
Not long after the murmuring sounds in the room stopped, the old lady came out.
"Ah? Adong is here too?"
"Well, go to the old house. My parents told you to come here, so I'll come to pick you up. I'll help you back."
The old lady looked unhappy, with tears in her eyes, which she blinked away quietly.
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything and just helped her walk slowly.
"Your cousin is guilty of his own crime, but it's a pity for the children in the family. They all have a bad New Year."
"Um."
"You can't learn from him. You have to be down-to-earth and make money. The most important thing is that the whole family is well-organized. If we don't have the ability, we shouldn't think too much. What's important is to live in peace and safety."
"Ok, I know."
The old lady smiled and patted the back of his hand in a soothing manner, "I only took fifty yuan to give them for the New Year. I still have some private money left, which I will give to you in the future."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "No need to give me anything. I can earn it myself. Just buy whatever you want to eat. Now that your teeth are better, don't be reluctant to eat and drink."
"Alas, I am already old, I don't have much money to spend, I save it all, I save it all for you."
He didn't argue with her about this, but changed the subject, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You are already old, so don't worry about everything. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Remember to let my mother cut your hair later. Let's wear new clothes and celebrate the New Year happily."
The old lady said happily, "I can't bear to wear the two new clothes that Ah Qing made for me. Huimei wore one for her engagement and wedding, and everyone praised how beautiful it was. When I wear the other one tomorrow, everyone will envy me again."
"Well, you must be the best-looking old lady in the village."
Seeing that the old lady's face had regained its rosy complexion, Ye Yaodong felt relieved.
Only after he sent the person home did he ride his bike back.
But he didn't expect that after he had been away for only an hour or two, there would be two little bald heads at his doorstep!
He touched their bald heads curiously, then walked into the house, "Why did you shave their heads? Aren't they afraid of the cold?"
"They insisted on shaving their heads at home, so I took them to get their heads shaved. It's just in time for Chinese New Year, so I'll take some time these two days to make some hats for them."
Ye Yaodong watched them waving their fists and kicking their legs at the door, imitating others' boxing moves, and even explaining...
Some are not sure whether to laugh or cry...
Children are children.
