Chapter 8 Movie, Chestnut
When she knocked on the door, Ruan Yu was always worried that the person who came to open the door was Aunt Chen, because if she found out that she had cried, she would definitely get to the bottom of it, and she didn't know what to say at that time, but fortunately, it was Meng Jiayue who opened the door for her.
As soon as Ruan Yu saw him, she was obviously not sad, but her tears still fell down, so frightened that she hurriedly wiped her tears, and the sleeves of her clothes were wet.
"My parents are taking a nap, you come in first." Meng Jiayue took Ruan Yu's hand and led her to her room.
"I'm sorry." Ruan Yu sobbed and apologized.
Meng Jiayue rubbed her head, asked her to sit down on the chair first, then went to the bathroom to get a wet towel and came back, wiped her face and hands, and then asked Ruan Yu when she was ready: "Now you can say what's going on, right?" ”
Ruan Yu buried her head and said in a muffled voice: "My mother beat me and scolded me, but I'm used to it, I don't usually do this, and I still cry in front of you." ”
Ruan Yu didn't want to cry in front of Meng Jiayue at all, but she just couldn't control her tears, but she made herself so embarrassed, she felt ashamed to think about it, in fact, she just wanted to find someone to talk to.
"I'm sorry." Ruan Yu said again.
Meng Jiayue shook his head with a smile, went out and got a carton of milk for her, and said, "I read in the book before, saying that milk has the effect of calming the nerves, and you have lost so many golden beans, so you should drink milk to calm your nerves." ”
"What are golden beans?" Ruan Yu looked at him with red eyes and asked.
"Tears." Meng Jiayue pinched her face and asked softly, "Do you want to return the golden beans?" ”
Ruan Yu shook her head, took a sip of the milk carton, and swallowed it with a wrinkled face. She doesn't like to drink plain milk, she always thinks it tastes weird, and it's not sweet, so it's not as good as other flavors of milk drinks.
"Can you not drink it?" Halfway through drinking, Ruan Yu really couldn't stand the taste of pure milk, and looked at Meng Jiayue pitifully with a frown.
Meng Jiayue shook his head and insisted: "No, you have to finish drinking." ”
Ruan Yu had no choice but to continue drinking with a bitter face.
Meng Jiayue waited for her to finish the milk before saying, "Do you want to hang out with me?" ”
"Where?" Ruan Yu took out a white rabbit toffee from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, sucking it vigorously for a while before feeling the milky smell being covered.
Meng Jiayue got up and took out a box of toffees from the desk drawer and handed it to her, thought for a while and said, "How about watching a movie?" Don't you like Doraemon? How about we go to see a Doraemon movie? ”
"Is there one? In the cinema. Ruan Yu asked.
"Of course."
When Ruan Yu heard him say this, she was immediately moved, but after thinking about it again, she shook her head again: "I haven't been to the cinema, and if I come out to play for too long, my mother will definitely scold me." ”
Meng Jiayue smiled and didn't speak, Ruan Yu raised his eyes to look at him, lowered his head and folded his fingers hesitantly, and finally nodded.
"Let's go!" Meng Jiayue pulled Ruan Yu up.
It had just rained outside, and the wind was still very strong, Meng Jiayue took a scarf and wrapped it in Ruan Yu before leaving, and the light beige couldn't tell that it was a boy's thing.
The cinema closest to home is on the fourth floor of the big supermarket outside the community, Ruan Yu has been to the first floor, the second floor, the third floor, but he has never been to the fourth floor, and when he took the elevator directly up, he still wondered what the cinema was like, and whether there would be a lot of people. As a result, I realized that there were not many people in the cinema at this time, only a few chairs sitting in the lounge area, and the promotional videos of the movie were scrolling on the big screen, including the promotional film of the theatrical version of "Doraemon".
Ruan Yu followed Meng Jiayue to the front desk to buy tickets, and when he looked up, he could see the information about the recently released movies displayed on the screen behind the conductor, and then looked at the price, Ruan Yu was immediately frightened, pulled Meng Jiayue's sleeve, leaned into his ear and whispered: "The movie ticket is so expensive, it costs 60 yuan, let's not watch it, right?" ”
Meng Jiayue also leaned into her ear and said, "I have a membership card, and the ticket price is halved." ”
Ruan Yu nodded to indicate that she understood, which meant that it was much cheaper, but she immediately reacted to how much the halving was, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "30 yuan is too expensive." ”
After speaking, he saw that Meng Jiayue had already taken out the money to pay, and before Ruan Yu could be stunned, he was led by Meng Jiayue to the side to buy popcorn, and then two glasses of Coke and a large bucket of popcorn were stuffed in his arms.
"The last show I bought, it's going to take fifteen minutes, just sit there and wait!" Meng Jiayue pointed to the rest area and took Ruan Yu over to find a vacant seat to sit down.
Ruan Yu was still a little uncomfortable, turned her head to look around, and saw a few children of the same age or younger than her, but without exception, there were parents around her, and there were no people like her and Meng Jiayue who came alone.
In order to hide the embarrassment of peeking at others, Ruan Yu pretended to be casual and pinched a few popcorns to eat, and found that the popcorn in the cinema was very delicious, the taste was very sweet, and there was a milky fragrance, so she immediately pinched a few more and ate them.
also pushed the popcorn in front of Meng Jiayue and said, "It's delicious, you can taste it." ”
Meng Jiayue stopped eating after only tasting the taste, and watched Ruan Yu drink Coke, and reminded: "If you drink too much, you will want to go to the toilet when you watch a movie." ”
"Huh?" Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't dare to drink it anymore, so she put the coke on the small round table and didn't touch it.
Meng Jiayue was amused by her reaction, and laughed for a long time before stopping. Ruan Yu turned her head angrily, put her hand in her pocket and wanted to touch the candy to eat, but she didn't touch it, so she remembered to put the toffee on the desk before leaving.
"And the sugar?" Ruan Yu asked Meng Jiayue.
"Eat too much sugar and be careful of tooth decay." Meng Jiayue said this, but still took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and gave it to her.
Ruan Yu happily peeled off the tin foil, and as soon as he took a bite, he suddenly heard someone whispering behind him: "Now primary school students know that they are in love, and they are dating and watching movies together, and they instantly feel old." ”
"Oh my god! It's so sweet to me, that little handsome guy loves his girlfriend very much! ”
Ruan Yu chewed chocolate and thought about who the two sisters were talking about, but she didn't find the right person for a long time, when the theater radio sounded, Meng Jiayue took her to line up into the theater.
The movie ticket was in Meng Jiayue's hand, Ruan Yu didn't look at it, and she didn't know what room and location, so she obediently followed Meng Jiayue with popcorn and drinks.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Ruan Yu looked at the seat very curiously, and unexpectedly found that there was a round hole in the armrest of the seat, which was just right to put Coke in.
It didn't take long for the movie to start playing, Ruan Yu saw the name and knew that they watched "Nobita's New Demon World Adventure", the first time he sat in the cinema and watched a movie on the big screen, it was a novel experience for Ruan Yu, nearly an hour and a half of playing time, Ruan Yu couldn't take his eyes off it, forgot to eat popcorn, and was still unsatisfied after the movie ended.
Out of the theater, there was a trash can outside, Meng Jiayue threw the finished Coke cup into it, and said to Ruan Yu: "I'll go to the bathroom, do you want to go?" Or wait for me here? ”
Ruan Yu actually wanted to go, but she didn't like to go to the toilet in an unfamiliar place, so she said, "I'll wait for you here." ”
Meng Jiayue wrapped the scarf in her hand and went to the bathroom. It was too hot in the theater just now, Ruan Yu took the scarf and let him hold it, and now as soon as she came out, she could feel the cold outside, Meng Jiayue was worried that she wouldn't freeze, so she wrapped it again.
As soon as he left, Ruan Yu found a place against the wall in the corridor and stood, holding popcorn while eating and waiting, passing by a person raised his eyes to see if it was Meng Jiayue, and waited for a few minutes before Meng Jiayue came out.
"Let's go!" Meng Jiayue's hands had just been washed, and they were still wet, so he didn't go to pull Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu was still chewing popcorn in his mouth, and he couldn't answer him, so he nodded and followed.
Going down from the elevator upstairs, as soon as she went out, she was greeted by a cold wind, and Ruan Yu, who was blowing, immediately shivered, Meng Jiayue lifted the scarf for her, blocked half of her face, and asked, "Do you want to eat rice cakes?" ”
Not far from here is a snack street, they actually came out very early after watching the movie, there was no point to eat, and there were not many people on the snack street. Just a few steps away from the entrance of the street, there is a stall to buy fried rice cakes, the stall owner is a middle-aged aunt, people are very enthusiastic, they waited for a while, the mouth did not stop, a vigorous praise Meng Jiayue is a good brother, take the sister out to play.
After walking out of that street, Meng Jiayue couldn't help laughing anymore, and said to Ruan Yu: "Call Brother Sheng to listen." ”
Ruan Yu blinked and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
"Twelve."
"Huh? How twelve? No, oh, yes, after New Year's Day, then I will be twelve years old. Ruan Yu tilted her head and thought about it, and then said, "My birthday is June, what month are you?" ”
Meng Jiayue didn't say anything, but Ruan Yu reacted suddenly, looked at him and said firmly: "You are younger than me." ”
Meng Jiayue took the popcorn bucket in her hand and changed the subject: "Hurry up and eat the rice cakes, if you don't eat them, it will be cold." ”
Ruan Yu was not deceived by him, and asked, "What is your birthday?" ”
"October." Meng Jiayue rubbed it on her head.
"What's the number?"
"Twenty-five."
"Then I remember." Ruan Yu laughed secretly.
It was only three o'clock when she got home, and there was no one in the community, Ruan Yu was afraid that her mother would find out that she was not at home and get angry, so she went home first after saying goodbye to Meng Jiayue. There was no one in the living room, Ruan Yu quietly changed her slippers and entered the house, for fear of making too much noise to let people know that she was back, so she walked on tiptoe.
Because she had to pass in front of her parents' room to go to the bedroom, Ruan Yu didn't pay attention at first, thinking that the door was closed, but when she walked to the door, she found that the door was actually half-hidden, and when she looked through the crack in the door, there was no one.
Ruan Yu boldly pushed the door open, but found that there was really no one inside, she had a guess in her heart, in order to verify, Ruan Yu walked to Ruan Kangming's room again, the door of his room was open, and there was no one inside.
"Mom, Ruan Kangming, are you at home?" Ruan Yu shouted, and after a long time, no one at home answered.
It's all gone. Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and turned around the house with the sound of her feet, went back to the house to change her pajamas, and only remembered that she forgot to return it when her hand touched the scarf around her neck.
Ruan Yu simply stopped changing her clothes and went out to find Meng Jiayue with a scarf.
This time it was Aunt Chen who opened the door, she was wearing a knitted sweater with a knitted skirt, her half-length hair was tied back to her head, and she also brought a pair of glasses.
"It's warm in the house, you take off your jacket, or it'll be hot later." Aunt Chen said to Ruan Yu while taking the cotton tow. The air conditioner was turned on in the house, which was much warmer than the outside, and when I went in, a hot wind was blowing, and the whole body was warm.
Ruan Yu changed her shoes first, and just as she was about to take off her scarf, she heard Aunt Chen say with a smile: "Jiayue has a scarf like yours." ”
"This is Meng Jiayue's." Ruan Yu replied.
"Huh?" Aunt Chen turned her head to look at the dining table, Meng Jiayue was bowing her head to help her correct the school's final exam papers, she didn't ask, anyway, a scarf is not a big deal.
Ruan Yu took off her jacket and hung it on the hanger with her scarf, she was wearing a light coffee-colored sweater inside, which was seen by Aunt Chen and asked her, "Xiaoyu, where did you buy this sweater?" It's a beautiful pattern! ”
"My mom knitted it." Ruan Yu tugged at the sweater on her body, this was actually Ruan Yue's clothes, but because it was knitted by her mother, Ruan Yue couldn't wear it and didn't throw it away, so she kept it for her to wear.
Aunt Chen's eyes lit up immediately, and she said happily: "I didn't know that Liyun still had this craft, the weaving is really beautiful, just like I want to knit a sweater for Jiayue and his father, and I will ask your mother when I go back." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Jiayue couldn't help but say: "Mom, you can't even knit a scarf, so don't knit a sweater." ”
"You kid, you don't fuck you." Aunt Chen turned her head and glared at him.
Meng Jiayue shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.
"By the way, I bought the sugar-fried chestnuts." Aunt Chen suddenly remembered and turned to the kitchen.
Ruan Yu walked to the dining table, and saw a thick stack of math test papers on the table, Aunt Chen was taking the third-grade math class, these days were when the school teacher corrected the test papers, Ruan Yu saw that Meng Jiayue was also holding a red pen to correct, and there were still corrected test papers on the left hand, there were dozens of them.
"See what I'm doing?" Meng Jiayue glanced up at Ruan Yu, put the pen down and rubbed his wrist.
Ruan Yu laughed a few times, sat down on the chair next to him, and said, "You are so good, you can still correct the test papers." ”
"You can also change the first-grade math papers, and there are answers." Meng Jiayue pointed to the answers to the test papers on the table, and pulled out another paper to show her.
Ruan Yu looked at the test paper, it was really a first-grade, and the paper she was holding in her hand seemed to be a boy's paper, the writing was indescribable, and the surface of the paper was dirty.
"Does Xiaoyu like to eat fried chestnuts with sugar? I just bought it today, who knew that I forgot it when I put it in the kitchen, and now it's cold, but the sugar fried chestnuts in this house are particularly delicious, come and try it. ”
Aunt Chen came over with a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts and put it on the table to signal Ruan Yu to eat.
The sugar-fried chestnuts were packed in paper bags, and Aunt Chen bought a lot of them, a big bag full of them, and a few leaked out when they were placed on the table.
Ruan Yu pinched an open chestnut, broke the shell, took out the chestnut inside and filled it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, the taste was very sweet, although it was cold, it was still very delicious.
Ruan Yu looked up and just wanted to say delicious to Aunt Chen, when she saw that Aunt Chen also picked up a red pen to correct the test paper, and didn't dare to disturb her, Ruan Yu lowered her head and continued to eat chestnuts. However, she had already eaten a lot of things, and she felt a little full without eating much, so she turned her head to look at Meng Jiayue again, and was still correcting.
Ruan Yu rolled her eyes, peeled off a chestnut and handed it to Meng Jiayue, originally wanting to ask Meng Jiayue if she would eat it, because she was afraid of disturbing Aunt Chen's correction of the test papers, so she didn't say anything, but she saw Meng Jiayue coming up directly, and ate the chestnuts with Ruan Yu's hand.
Seeing him eat, Ruan Yu could be regarded as having found something to play, and then he concentrated on peeling the chestnuts and feeding Meng Jiayue after peeling them.
Meng Jiayue ate more than a dozen in a row, and finally turned his head to look at Ruan Yu when he fed him again, Ruan Yu immediately stuffed the chestnuts into his mouth, not daring to feed them anymore.
Meng Jiayue smiled when she saw this, leaned into her ear and said, "Go to my room and get a book to read." ”
Aunt Chen glanced up when she heard the movement, then lowered her head and continued to correct the test papers.
Ruan Yu carefully got down from the chair, went to the bathroom to wash his hands first, and then ran to Meng Jiayue's room to get a book back, and sat back on the chair to read.
