Chapter 1513: Watching a Movie
The next day, at six-thirty, after Yang Yujie exercised, she simply had a bowl of porridge, and she and Zhenyu went to their grandfather’s house to pick up the younger siblings.
Today, they were still having meals at the Wei Family’s house, Jiang Xinyu ate the ready-made food prepared by the two girls, which consisted of sorghum rice porridge and steamed buns; it was pretty good.
"Feifei, you’re coming with me to Master Zheng’s house this afternoon. Let’s ask her."
"Alright."
She had already gone through the high school curriculum several times, so it wasn’t a big issue. Taking this opportunity to learn the piano was nice too.
Regarding Feifei’s decision, Wei Kaiyun and Jiang Xinyu wouldn’t interfere. They knew she was sensible.
Five of them set off together at four in the afternoon, with the three boys protecting the two girls.
Upon arriving at the Zheng Family’s residence, Yang Yujie expressed her request.
"Master Zheng, my sister’s family has a piano."
She didn’t want Feifei to be back and forth; it’s preferable for her to learn here.
"But there are too many things happening at my house; if you are really eager to learn, just come here."
Jiang Feifei nodded with a smile, "Okay, Master Zheng, what time should I come every day?"
"From three to five in the afternoon."
Jiang Feifei nodded with a smile. "Master Zheng, all five of us siblings will come to learn."
"Alright, give it a try; some people simply aren’t suitable for playing the piano. But, you definitely are; the others can just sit in and listen." It meant she recognized only one student.
With this attitude from Master Zheng, Jiang Feifei simply smiled.
"Master Zheng, what about the tuition fees?"
"Two yuan per day."
"Okay, I understand. We’ll come on time tomorrow."
After clarifying things in a few minutes, the five of them left.
Feifei was sitting on the back seat of Shi Jing’s bike. "Feifei, shall we go watch a movie?" Yang Yujie asked with a smile.
"There are a few little ones at home. If they find out we went to watch a movie without taking them, they’ll definitely make a fuss."
"Alright, let’s go back to pick them up. Look, today’s movie description sounds really captivating."
"Okay then, how about the two of us go buy the tickets, and let the other three pick them up?"
Perfect, each one can bring two over.
Jianbin frowned, "No, it’s too chaotic here. I’m not comfortable with you two here; let’s go back together. The movie starts at six, so we can walk over."
Feifei had no objections. Since her brother mentioned it, she would certainly follow suit.
When they arrived home and the six little ones heard they were going to watch a movie, they were ecstatic.
Time was still early, fearing they might get hungry, Feifei decided to cook cold noodles, which was easy.
Shang Zhenkun shook his head, "Don’t cook mine. I’ll wait for your mom to make dinner."
"Master Shang, are you not coming to watch the movie with us?"
"I’m not going. You all go have fun."
The children were grown up, so there was peace of mind when they went out; unless they encountered professional trainers, few could be a match for them.
In a blink of an eye, Shi Jing was already fifteen years old. Time flies fast. Memories of Shi Jing as a toddler come flooding back.
After eleven had eaten their fill, the two little girls changed their clothes, then together, they headed out.
Jianbin and the other two followed behind the younger siblings.
Upon spotting an ice pop vendor, each took one; Shi Xian was the happiest.
"Sister Yu Jie, can you treat me to movies and ice pops every day from now on?"
"Yes, my lord, your wish is my command."
"Don’t be so polite, I appreciate you."
𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Those two jested, and the rest laughed.
"Shi Xian, you can come to my house, and I’ll buy you ice pops every day."
"That’s not necessary." Wouldn’t he be dead meat if he returned home?
"Feifei, Shi Xian here is not someone easy to fool."
"Who are you underestimating? Nobody can fool me!"
Looking at Shi Xian’s smug little appearance, everyone burst into laughter again.
They were already exceptionally good-looking, which naturally attracted the gaze of passersby.
At five forty, they arrived at the cinema, Jianbin bought tickets, and Yu Jie bought snacks and soda for everyone.
In fact, for the kids, the appeal of movies was mostly the snacks.
"Relax, I’ll buy more once they’re finished."
"I want two portions of seeds; I love the five-spice flavor." Shi Xian quickly expressed.
After asking everyone, Yu Jie ended up buying another portion for each of the six little ones.
Shi Xian happily walked into the cinema.
In the summer heat, staying in a cinema was really uncomfortable; there were over a dozen ceiling fans; otherwise, it would’ve been unbearable.
Even the children took out their handkerchiefs to place on their laps, dropping the seed shells on them.
Small actions often reveal a person’s upbringing.
For over an hour, the children were engrossed in the film.
Once it ended, everyone left still immersed in the experience.
"Brother, ask what’s playing tomorrow; if it’s a new release, let’s come again."
Jianbin nodded; Shi Xian genuinely liked these.
When they came out, they saw Wei Kaiyun, Old Yang, and Han Xiangjun waiting outside for them.
The trio weren’t at ease leaving the girls alone, so they skipped dinner to come pick them up.
On the way, Shi Xian drank soda again and ate ice pops.
Now he was truly content. Normally, he wouldn’t consume these, so Wei Kaiyun didn’t restrict any of them this time.
"We’re not going to your house." They parted ways at the intersection.
Now there were just the five of them left.
Shi Xian chirped on about the movie. "Dad, let’s go again tomorrow if there’s a different movie."
"Sure, come over, and I’ll pick you up."
Over the past ten years spent in the countryside, the children have had limited exposure; Wei Kaiyun didn’t want them to lack experience.
Tingting ran to Jiang Xinyu as soon as she got home. "Mom, can we go to the movies tomorrow? Today’s film was amazing."
"You can go if you want." Jiang Xinyu wasn’t fond of those, but wouldn’t stop the kids from going.
"Mom, the piano teacher is set, every day from three to five in the afternoon, and it’s two yuan per lesson. We can all go learn."
"Mom, the teacher said mainly to teach my sister. I feel like we’re just auditors. Or maybe I won’t go, I’ll just stay at home." Shi Xian had been unwilling to go; now it seemed perfect.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "It’s entirely voluntary. If you don’t want to go, that’s okay."
Shi Jing would definitely go, not for learning, but primarily to protect Feifei. It doesn’t feel safe letting her go alone; even though Feifei’s skills match his, being a brother means he must protect his sister.
Tingting also wanted to go, so the three siblings confirmed their plan.
"I believe Jianbin will definitely go too—even if just to protect his sisters." Shi Jing smiled confidently.
Jiang Feifei also chuckled, "I don’t need your protection. I can manage on my own."
Shi Jing shook his head, "It’s different; we’d rather stick together. Otherwise, we’d still worry about you at home, better to tag along."
