Hua Xiaoyu rested for a while and then got out of bed. She hadn't eaten at noon, and now she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. But thinking about the movie in the evening, she felt energetic all over.
Beijing is a nice city, with good food and good housing, and you can also take cars and watch movies.
In the past, she never thought that one day she would be able to live such a life.
From now on, she will have to live like this again.
"Sister Liu, I'm going to visit a relative's house in the evening. I may come back late. Please do your best and leave the door open for me." Hua Xiaoyu said to the woman on the lower bunk.
"Are you going to a relative's house? Where do your relatives live?" the woman on the lower bunk asked immediately.
"I live in the Second Ring Road." Hua Xiaoyu said about Ye's community.
The eyes of everyone in the room lit up.
They are all authentic Beijing people and know who lives in that community. They are all people they will never come into contact with in their lives.
Hua Xiaoyu does have a background.
"Who is that relative of yours?" someone asked again.
They had asked this question before, but Hua Xiaoyu hadn't figured out how to say it at that time. She was unfamiliar with the place, so she didn't know how to say it in the best way for herself.
But now that she is familiar with the surrounding environment and the rules around her, she knows what to say.
"My cousin's in-laws live there." Hua Xiaoyu said truthfully, because this relationship is already very close.
She wanted to say that she was her real relative, but it was impossible. If she really had such real relatives, how could she not have gone to school? And still work here?
As expected, everyone felt that this relationship was very close, and Hua Xiaoyu's expression became a little kinder.
But someone asked: "Your cousin? She also came from a farming background? How could she marry into a family like that?"
Hua Xiaoyu said: "Our grandfathers are brothers. She and I grew up together and have a very good relationship. It's just that her grandfather is an old revolutionary. He arranged a baby marriage for her with the grandson of a comrade back then, and then she
Grandpa returned to the village, and that comrade now lives there."
She doesn't hide her envy.
Everyone was very envious after hearing this and didn't think she was lying. This was her cousin who was just one level away. Now that he was prosperous, he could drag her from the valley into the capital. It was a very good relationship.
Some biological sisters may not be able to do it!
"Then go quickly. I'll leave the door open for you tonight, but don't come back too late. It's not safe on the road." said the woman on the lower bunk.
"Hey, thank you, Sister Liu!" Hua Xiaoyu happily carried the rice bowl and left.
Suspicion immediately appeared in his thoughtful eyes.
When she went out, someone immediately said: "You are going to a relative's house and you don't care about food? You plan to go after eating."
Some people understand: "Her cousin is a rural woman. She relied on her grandfather's friendship to marry into such a family. How can she keep her tail between her legs and be a good person? It would be great to have this cousin come to the capital, but also let her come to visit her all the time?"
That would be embarrassing."
"Well, maybe they can let her eat. She is sensible and doesn't cause trouble to others." Someone else said.
If Hua Xiaoyu exposes this relationship, they won't be able to ask for anything from her in the future, so it's best not to offend her.
There was no sound in the room, Hua Xiaoyu smiled and left quietly from the door. In the past, it was impossible to ask others to leave the door open for her, as it would delay others' sleep, so she could only keep her tail between her legs and be a good person.
Now... women still need to have a strong backer.
Where is her backer?
Hua Xiaoyu went to the cafeteria to eat, observed the surroundings, and sneaked out of the factory.
She was afraid of meeting Zhang Xiaowu.
She thought Zhang Xiaowu might be waiting for her at the gate, but no, Zhang Xiaowu was held back by his mother.
Regardless of the reason, Hua Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards the cinema.
I didn't want to sit on the bus, so I had to stretch my legs.
Since she got a job, the Ye family has stopped giving her money. Fortunately, her salary is more than 30 yuan a month, which is enough for her to eat.
It's a pity that she doesn't have food stamps, so she has to pay extra to exchange her meal stamps in the work canteen. Otherwise, she would still have a lot of money left, enough to buy new clothes, and she would be able to go to Ye's house.
With my mind on my mind, I walked quickly, but when I arrived at the entrance of the cinema, it was already dark.
It's better this way, as it saves Zhang Xiaowu from seeing her.
She walked towards the entrance of the cinema. Her ticket was for entry. She wanted to find someone in the same show to change seats.
She is illiterate, but she is motivated. After coming here for more than a month, she is slowly learning. Anyway, she can understand the numbers.
Suddenly, she smelled a sweet and fragrant smell.
A girl passed by holding popcorn in her hand.
Hua Xiaoyu took a deep breath, the popcorn in Beijing was so delicious.
During the New Year holidays in Kaoshantun, people would come over to pop popcorn. She knew this thing and had eaten it before, but the taste was incomparable to the one just now.
She also wanted to taste it.
Hua Xiaoyu turned around and looked around for the popcorn seller, and then she saw Daqin at a glance.
