822 Let’s Go to Watch a Movie Together

Qiao Mei looked up at the dark sky without a single star. What kind of nice scenery was this?

To think that Xia He was still a professional dancer. Her acting skills still needed some improvements.

“Let’s go home quickly. If you don’t come back, I’ll lock you out.” Qiao Mei pouted and pretended to be angry.

Xia He followed behind Qiao Mei dejectedly. She was clearly more than 10 years older than Qiao Mei, but why did she feel that Qiao Mei seemed more like the older sister at the moment?

The next day, Xia He returned to work in the art troupe early in the morning. At noon, Qiao Mei hired a driver from the alley to go to Xu Lan’s place and carry all the seeds back. She then went to shop for a big wok from the capital mall.

Li Gui’s family began to stir-fry sunflower seeds in the house. The fragrance quickly wafted through the streets and alleys. People passing by could not help but look into the courtyard.

“Mei Mei, why do you still have so many seeds? Didn’t we sell everything we have?” Li Gui asked curiously.

“These are the ones I sent to the capital. I wanted to save them for our family to eat during the new year, but now I have other ideas, so I brought them here to use them,” Qiao Mei said as she lay leisurely on the rocking chair.

Li Gui was someone who was used to doing chores in the village. Building a stove was not a problem at all. They were used to doing all these things themselves.

“Where are we going to sell these after we fry them?” Li Gui asked.

Qiao Mei had been thinking about this for many days. At the moment, the most suitable places were the cinema and the entrance of the train station. It was mainly well-to-do people or young couples who frequented the cinema. As for the train station, the key thing was the high human traffic. When people were bored while waiting for the train, they would buy some seeds to munch on.

“We should try the cinema and the train station. On the day we arrived, I saw people selling these things right next to the train station,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui said impatiently, “Then I’ll go take a look after I’m done frying this batch!”

At the moment, she was very proactive about anything that was related to making money. She could not just rely on the little bit of money in her hands to make ends meet. Although Qiao Mei said that she had already paid off her debt the last time, Qiao Mei had spent all that money on them later. She had to earn more money to buy some stuff for Qiao Mei.

Even if she could not afford to buy anything, she should at least reduce the load on Qiao Mei’s shoulder and not become a burden to her.

“Where are you going? I want to go too!” Zhang Qin asked as she ran into the backyard.

By now, Zhang Qin could already put her feet on the ground and take a few steps. She could make her way around with a walking stick and would recover after another half a month or so.

“You little imp, why do you stick your nose in everything! I’m talking to your sister about serious matters!” Li Gui said.

During this period of time, the children could only stay in the courtyard. Li Gui did not allow them to walk outside at all. Even if they were going to Qiao Mei’s house, which was very close by, they had to inform Li Gui before they could go out.

If she lost the children in the huge capital, she would not be able to find them at all. The safest way was to let the children stay close to her.

“How about I bring all of you to watch a movie tonight?” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Qiao Mei! I’ll bring them there! It’s not easy to walk around at night. You should stay at home,” Li Gui said worriedly.

Qiao Mei lowered her head and said, “I’m fine. Besides, I’ve never watched a movie before. Just let me go and have some fun.”

Qiao Mei knew that Li Gui wanted to check out the standard of the seeds sold near the cinema and do some market research. However, if she was too obvious, it would arouse suspicion. She still needed to take a more relaxed approach when it came to doing business.

Li Gui instantly felt that she had not treated Qiao Mei well for so many years. There was actually an open-air cinema in the county city. She had even been there when she first married Zhang Qian.

“Alright, then let’s all go. We’ll go tonight and eat whatever you want!” Li Gui said.

“Xiao Qin, go and tell Zhang Wei and the others that Mom will bring us out to have fun tonight!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

At night, the children got all dressed up. Zhang Miao even put on her winter scarf. She put on every item she owed and made sure she did not miss out on anything.

“Miao Miao, don’t you find it hot?” Qiao Mei said while suppressing her laughter.

How was it not hot? Beads of sweat rolled down Zhang Miao’s face uncontrollably. Her back was all wet, but she still looked very happy.

“I’m not hot! Elder sister, do you think I look nice today!” Zhang Miao asked as she sat in the wheelchair and spread her arms out.
