Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Warm Little Hands
Jiang Mianmian was completely numb, having long grown accustomed to their lovey-dovey talk.
Su Wanyu patted Jiang Changhai on the shoulder, signaling him to stop running his mouth outside.
Jiang Changhai got the hint from his wife and promptly got back to the point, “Hehe, kid, get me two more Clam Oil. In this severe winter, the wind feels as if it’s slicing my face raw.”
Hearing this, Su Wanyu felt a bit of pity and said, “Brother Hai, don’t buy Clam Oil anymore. You can use Snow Cream with me.”
Jiang Changhai shook his head without a second thought and refused, “I really don’t like that stuff. It’s too fragrant, not suitable for a manly man like me. Buddy Yu, am I right?”
“Hmm.” Yu Cheng nodded, as he also disliked applying such things.
He would rather go without anything than to smell as fragrant as a woman.
Jiang Changhai spread his hands, “See, us men don’t like that.”
Seeing his genuine dislike, Su Wanyu didn’t stop him from buying Clam Oil anymore.
Jiang Changhai was about to leave with the items he had bought, but when he looked down, he saw his daughter’s face and ears red with cold.
So he bought hats and scarves for his wife and daughter, wrapping up both mother and daughter snugly.
This shopping spree cost him over ten yuan, but Jiang Changhai didn’t mind at all.
As long as it was spent on his wife and daughter, even if it meant spending all eighty yuan he had earned that day, he was happy to do it.
As the four came out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they noticed many people heading west, saying that the cinema had a new movie showing.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu tugged at her husband’s arm and said, “Brother Hai, let’s go watch a movie. I haven’t watched one in so long, and since it’s still early, we have nothing else to do. Let’s just go watch a movie.”
“Sure, let’s go.” With money in his pocket, Jiang Changhai was eager to please, and took his wife’s hand as they joined the crowd.
The forgotten Jiang Mianmian: …You still have such a big daughter to bring along!
This was not the first time they had forgotten her, but fortunately, this time she had company, “Brother Yu, we’re going to see a movie.”
She then took the initiative to grab Yu Cheng’s hand.
Yu Cheng only felt a soft, warm little hand slip into his own.
He instinctively gripped her hand, but didn’t dare apply too much pressure, for fear that he might hurt the little girl’s hand. Yet his face coolly “hmm’ed” in response.
Jiang Changhai, walking ahead, didn’t notice their actions, or else he would definitely have pulled his daughter’s hand away.
He would also have sternly warned Yu Cheng to keep away from his precious daughter.
Despite the cold weather, there were still many people braving the chill to see a movie, leaving only a few rows at the back available.
Jiang Changhai bought four tickets and led them into the cinema, picking a spot with a good view.
Yu Cheng had noticed on his way in that there were no vendors selling sunflower seeds or drinks outside the cinema.
Seeing that most of the movie-goers were young couples, he was struck by a quick-money-making idea.
That was to sell snacks like sunflower seeds and peanuts outside the cinema.
In Capital City, almost everyone going to the movies would buy some sunflower seeds to snack on.
And as munching on seeds would make people thirsty after a while, beverages would sell well too.
After watching a not-so-interesting movie, Yu Cheng shared his idea with Jiang Changhai, “Uncle Jiang, I’ve thought of a way to make money…”
