Chapter 8
It turns out that Yang Yuyan’s plan was to eat a restaurant at noon and watch a movie at night. But because of Ma Tianbao’s treat, Zhu Yanshu said that he couldn’t eat two big meals a day, so he came out to watch a movie at noon and then went to eat mat noodles at night.
So the three rushed to the Cathay Theater at noon. The big poster at the entrance of the theater was full of Zhou Xuan, and under the poster were rows of flower baskets, and the curtains above them said this gentleman sends, that gentleman sends, this gentleman sends, and so on, as if all the gentlemen of the city had gathered here.
Yang Yuyan looked over the flower baskets one by one, and felt that the gentlemen she heard of in the past two years were not as many as the ones she recognized today, and even though there were only names, all the ones here were definitely living gentlemen.
Yang Yuchan came over and asked her, “What are you looking at?”
Yang Yuyan whispered, “The so-and-so gentlemen that I usually see in the newspaper are all dead.” She also came here and realized that people nowadays like to publish some news about their own family in the newspaper, someone got married, send one! Someone gets divorced, post one! Someone has a baby, post one! Someone passed away, loved ones send one. Yang Xuhe had sent three, he divorced Zhu Yanshu and sent one, married his new wife and sent one, and gave birth to a little son and sent another. At that time, Yang Yuyan especially wanted to publish a newspaper that Yang Xuhe’s daughter had committed suicide, the day after he gave birth to his youngest son to congratulate the news!
But after calling the newspaper office, she found out that she had to go there in person, and it cost five dollars to send a message! She didn’t want to make the trip and didn’t have the five dollars, so she just had to do it.
Later, gradually accepted that she is the youngest daughter of Yang Xuhe, do not want to be embarrassed for this kind of people, they are glad that they did not go to send a message at that time.
Yang Yu Cicada hastily covered her mouth with a handkerchief, not daring to laugh out loud for anyone to notice, and gently slapped Yang Yu Yan with one hand, “Your mouth is getting more and more poisonous, who did you learn from!”
The hottest movie during this period of time was the talkie “Road Angel” starring Zhou Xuan, and it was hard to find a ticket. Even though it came at noon, tickets were hard to come by.
But Zhu Yanshu hadn’t watched a lot of theater when she was young, and then even more so when she fell in love, she hadn’t missed a single movie. She called in advance to reserve three tickets, and when she arrived, she took the tickets and could enter the theater. Yang Yuyan was surprised to find that it was a box ticket.
Zhu Yan Shu sat down and whispered: “You are not allowed to watch movies with boys in the future! The movie theater is too dark, there will be thieves and bad guys!”
Yang Yucchan’s face flushed red and softly hmmm’d.
Yang Yuyan stared at her face for a long time, only to be stepped on by Yang Yucan before she removed her gaze.
The movie theater was packed.
The waiters in suits were still checking in rows before the show started. Yang Yuyan, who was sitting on the second floor, looked at the behavior of the people below and asked Zhu Yanshu: “Mom, what are they looking for?”
Zhu Yanshu: “Looking for ticket evaders. When the show starts later, there will be more ticket evaders.”
After the waiters left, the doors closed, the lights went out, the sound came out, and the movie officially started.
Yang Yuyan was surprised to find that it wasn’t as bad as she thought, she remembered that she had watched a lot of red movies in the Central Sixth Set in the past, and the style of the movie was similar to this one.
Zhou Xuan is also really a beauty, and the handsome man who plays with her is also very good-looking, but also bare-chested and wearing an undershirt, see Zhou Xuan audience cheered, see bare-chested men, underneath the buzz a buzz. It can be seen that men’s bare arms do not work in this era.
Yang Yuyan looked at the hey hey hey laugh, and asked Yang Yucan: “What is the name of this male actor?”
Yang Yuchan hurriedly shushed her, before she could react, Zhu Yanshu had already glared over and whispered, “You’re not allowed to chase this kind of star! I’ll take you to the theater later, you’ll know what’s good after you’ve heard Boss Mei’s plays! This kind of man who only has skin is not a good man!”
When the movie reached the second half, someone slipped in.
It was clear to see from above.
Yang Yuyan head down, you can see a person quietly push open a crack to hurry to sneak in, sneak in after the wall along the roots of squatting to watch the movie, the light on the screen becomes larger, illuminating the silhouettes clearly.
Later, the theater door was quietly opened by the waiter a crack, she saw him standing outside the door with one hand to collect money, while releasing people.
She said to Yang Yuchan, “It’s almost the end of the show and there are still people coming in to watch.”
Yang Yucan was watching the movie with tears in her eyes, and when she disturbed her, she said in a bad mood, “Don’t talk to me!”
When the movie finished and the lights came on, Yang Yucan complained to Zhu Yanshu: “Yan Yan didn’t watch it either, she kept looking for me to talk to me, and I didn’t even see a few of the parts just now! It’s hard to watch a movie, but she spoiled it all!”
Zhu Yanshu glared at Yang Yuyan, then said to Yang Yucan: “Come back next time, this movie will be on for half a year. Your sister is still young, her heart is not sure, the movie is taking so long, I guessed that she is going to make trouble.”
Only then did Yang Yuchan realize that Zhu Yanshu deliberately didn’t sit next to Yang Yuyan because she wanted to watch the movie properly.
She turned her head to Yang Yuyan and said, “I will never come out with you again!”
Yang Yuyan coldly grunted, “I don’t care!”
The two sisters were close to pinching each other again.
Zhu Yanshu interrupted them, pulling one with one hand, “There aren’t many people left, quickly go, quickly go.”
The three of them left the movie theater, as if they were back on earth.
Zhu Yanshu grabbed Yang Yucan’s arm and looked at the time, seeing that it was only two o’clock, asked her: “What time did Ma book the hotel?”
Yang Yuchan: “He said he booked a six o’clock banquet.”
Yang Yuyan saw that the time was still four hours short, and asked, “Then we go home?”
Zhu Yanshu: “What home? Let’s go shopping!”
Next to the Cathay Theater was a shopping mall that sold everything. Zhu Yanshu realized that her eldest daughter has grown up, but she still can’t dress up, she doesn’t have a single piece of jewelry on her body, so she just took this opportunity to give her a little bit of shopping, so that she won’t be cheated by the poor boy!
She first dragged Yang Yucan to get her ears pierced.
Yang Yucan sat on the chair to be pierced, Yang Yuyan backed up a breath of cold air to hide also was Zhu Yan Shu pressed on the chair, with two green beans to her ear twisting, “run what? Why don’t you just do it too? I didn’t do it when I was a kid, but now I’m making up for it!”
When the two sisters were young, it happened to be the rise of the New Wave, and women were advocating not to wear makeup and dress up to be women, so both children didn’t have their ears pierced. Otherwise, they should have let their maternal grandmother tie their ears after they landed on the ground, and at that time, they were not afraid that they would cry and hurt, anyway, little children cry all the time.
Not long ago, Yang Yucicang and Yang Yuyan a pair of sisters exactly the same in the ears are hung on the silver ring.
Zhu Yanshu: “A bigger pendant, so you can wear earrings. Yan Yan, don’t touch it!”
Zhu Yanshu planned to go back to the gold store to buy a piece of gold, turn around and give the two girls a pair of earrings each, and then a gold chain each.
From the silver cabinet, she went to the watch cabinet to pick a watch for Yang Yucan.
This Western mechanical watch can be more valuable than gold, Yang Yuyan saw the price tag eyes are staring out, and then see the brand is Omega and think it is quite normal.
Yang Yuchan didn’t expect the watch to be so expensive, so she didn’t want it and said, “I’ll wear mom’s piece on the line.”
Zhu Yanshu pulled her back and forbade her to go: “You think so! I still have to wear this one!”
The salesman at the watch counter was a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt, courteous, smiling and said, “The one that Miss is wearing now can be extraordinary! It’s a Rolex!”
Yang Yuyan immediately stared at the watch! Rolex ah! This is the first time I’ve seen a real one! I’ve never seen it at home before, so I’m sorry.
Zhu Yanshu smiled: “My father bought it for me when I was eighteen years old, alas, it’s been many years since ……”, her voice was frustrated and she sighed leisurely.
Yang Yuyan didn’t say anything, she finally believed that Zhu Yanshu was really a big lady before.
Maybe there is this Rolex face, they are in this cabinet in front of a long time, the cabinet of the women’s watch almost all take out to wear a whole, and finally picked in the money to pay, only said next month to get together the money to take, so that the cabinet uncle first put away, do not put out to sell to others.
The cabinet uncle also did not mind them swollen face, really put the watch into the watch box, put into the safe, but also seriously wrote in the counter book, the name of Ms. Zhu agreed to the first of next month to take clouds.
Zhu Yanshu saw him write it down before he was relieved, and took his two daughters away, saying to them: “If he didn’t write it down, it would be bad if the watch was bought by someone else. The watch is sent from Switzerland by boat. If you don’t buy it this time, you won’t be able to find your favorite watch until the next time.”
Yang Yucicang was not in a good mood after buying the watch, and she looked heavy-hearted all the time.
Zhu Yanshu took them to a coffee shop, ordered cookies and cakes, and then let Yang Yuyan go to eat, while she carefully explained to her eldest daughter.
Zhu Yanshu: “Don’t mind the price, this watch can be given to you as dowry, in the future when you encounter difficulties, it is as useful as gold and silver, and can be pawned in pawnshops for money! And if you want to study abroad in the future, go to the United States to Japan, this watch is safer than letting you bring gold. Even if you’re down and out and your clothes are old, people won’t look down on you if they see you have this watch.” She patted Yang Yucan’s arm, “Be obedient!”
Yang Yuyan interjected at this time, “Sister, it’s only two thousand dollars to buy an Omega, it’s very worth it!”
Zhu Yan Shu’s eyes widened, “Second Miss has a big mouth! Only two thousand dollars? You wouldn’t be able to earn that in ten years!”
Yang Yuyan stretched her neck in defiance, “You’re underestimating people! I earned it in half a year!”
Zhu Yanshu scoffed, “Well, I’ll be waiting!”
After spending time in the coffee shop until about five o’clock, Zhu Yanshu called up her daughters and went out to the car to go to the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
At this time, the sun had already set, and the streetlights were already lit up. Pedestrians on the street became more hurried, cars honking their horns and whistling all the way past, yellow buses and bicycles were seen and heard.
In the direction of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, pedestrians were decreasing and cars were increasing. There were also people riding horses!
There are more foreigners on the sidewalks, white gentlemen with big beards, holding their wives in long dresses, Chinese gentlemen in suits, also dressed up as Westerners, wearing gentleman’s hats, moustaches, and then a staff in their hands.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Hyatt Hotel, the Indian porter spoke Indian-flavored English to open the door, and the Chinese porter in a long shirt directed the yellow buses to stop on the other side.
Zhu Yanshu and Yang Yuyan, Yang Yucan down, the Chinese porter rushed up to greet: “Good evening, Mrs., ladies! Are you here for dinner or to meet friends? We also have a performance, the famous Boss Mei’s senior apprentice will sing tonight!”
Zhu Yan Shu laughed, “We are here for dinner, we should have made a reservation.”
The doorman immediately guided them in, and when they reached the door, an Indian came over to guide them into their seats.
But I don’t know whether the Indian misheard them or something went wrong, the Indian led them to a large table that could seat ten people!
Zhu Yanshu immediately froze and asked Yang Yucan: “Did Mr. Ma invite us alone, or did he invite someone else?”
Yang Yucan also froze, “I think we were the only ones invited ……”
Zhu Yanshu’s face changed, pulling Yang Yucan to the side and asking her in a low voice, “Is he trying to bring us to take advantage of someone else’s table and eat for nothing? I’m telling you, this is absolutely not okay! I’ve never been so ashamed to eat someone else’s meal!”
To take advantage of someone else’s seat is to interject while someone else is treating them, and eat for free in the name of family and friends of family and friends.
Zhu Yanshu’s face turned white with anger when she thought of this possibility, it would be too disgusting to have a good birthday like this.
Yang Yuyan also stayed, afraid of Yang Yucan this classmate really do so, but also think that there will not be someone so stupid, please future mother-in-law dinner even while the seat. But he was originally borrowed money, this on ……
One way or another, she did not dare to come forward to intervene.
Yang Yucan’s forehead was sweating anxiously, she was trusting Ma Tianbao!
She anxiously said: ”Although Tianbao’s father has been working as a chauffeur for people, and mom has been working as a servant for people, but I guarantee that their family are all good people! Tianbao would never do something like this either! This time, he must have invited us to dinner specifically to celebrate your birthday, mom!”
Ma Tianbao’s dad was a driver and his mom was an underling.
Then it must be the chauffeur and underling of the Golden Mansion.
Since the phone calls were made there, then the Ma family should be a family of three living in the public house’s underling’s room. Ma Tianbao was able to go to college, and it was probably paid for by the Jin family.
The things that he had been most worried about were all exposed, Zhu Yanshu’s mood was heavier instead of lighter.
Could it be that the Ma family’s parents will also come tonight?
Will they force the marriage on the spot!
In just a few seconds, Zhu Yanshu’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
No way! This meal could not be eaten! She had wanted to weigh the boy’s weight, but ended up being taken advantage of by someone else!
Zhu Yanshu pressed her chest and tried to pretend to be sick, but she was worried that it would be too obvious and make Yang Yucan angry, and when she saw Yang Yuyan standing there, she pulled her over and rubbed her face: ”Good boy! Why is your face so red! Could it be freezing!”
Yang Yuyan was watching the show, cold was pulled over to rub his face, words could not be said has been fixed.
“No way! I think you’re catching a cold!” Zhu Yan Shu is full of motherly love, holding Yang Yu Yan and heading out, “I think it’s better to hurry home and cook you some medicine to drink!”
Yang Yuyan had just been covered and rubbed her face, her mouth had changed shape and she didn’t have time to retort, when she was dragged away, she heard that she had to go back to drink the medicine and hurriedly said, “I’m fine! The redness is blown by the wind!”
Before the words left his mouth, he was given a hard glare by Zhu Yanshu.
Yang Yucan also followed her up and looked at her worriedly, “Are you really okay?”
Yang Yuyan had been lying in the hospital for half a year, and in her family’s eyes was a frail and sickly one.
Yang Yuyan was about to answer when she saw Zhu Yanshu winking, and changed her mind in the middle of her sentence: “Really …… right?”
No, mom, you make eyes in the end what is the meaning? You don’t want to eat? You’ve lost someone?
Yang Yuyan and Zhu Yanshu were exchanging warm exchanges with their eyes when a cheerful voice interjected.
“Yucchan!” A young man called out like this, laughing, jumping, walking over and standing three steps away.
Unsurprisingly, he was glared at by Zhu Yanshu.
“Jade Cicada” is what you call it!
“Tianbao!” Yang Yu Cicada also greeted the other party by calling his name with joy.
The two sides met triumphantly.
Zhu Yanshu was secretly relieved to see that there were no people behind Ma Tianbao who looked like his parents.
Yang Yuyan took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, “Mom, are you not wanting to eat and want to leave?”
Zhu Yan Shu whispered, “You’re stupid!”
Yang Yuyan was scolded for nothing and was very aggrieved!
Could this be blamed on her! Did this have anything to do with her!
