70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 160: Going to the Movies

"I can’t show you around this experiment building, let’s go somewhere else." Yin Yang said to Xu Mumu as he walked out of the experiment building. There are some important experiments inside, and outsiders are not allowed to visit casually.

"No problem, I understand. I need to visit the transportation team in the county to find my brother and bring him something." Xu Mumu looked at Yin Yang with some hesitation.

"I don’t have anywhere else to go either, so naturally I’ll go with you. What, are you trying to abandon me?" Yin Yang acted incredulously.

"You’re just saying that. Come on, let’s go together." Xu Mumu said helplessly.

The experiment base isn’t far from the county government, only a bit over twenty minutes, and the two of them arrived quickly.

Upon arriving at the transportation team, Xu Mumu asked someone to find Xu Minghui.

It was also Xu Mumu’s first time at the transportation team. No wonder it’s the county’s; there really are a lot of trucks here. Even within the county, it’s rare to see so many vehicles on the road, yet there are plenty here.

"Sis, I thought someone was tricking me; I didn’t expect you to really come see me." Xu Minghui said excitedly. His work clothes were a bit dirty from moving things earlier. If he were clean, he would’ve hugged his sister tightly to express how much he missed her.

"I brought you something, some of Grandma’s old pickles." Xu Mumu took out a jar.

"I thought it was meat." Xu Minghui promptly put away the jar. The food at the transportation team is still decent, but he has a big appetite and doesn’t often feel full.

"Dreaming are you, thinking of meat? Do you want to take a leave so we can go eat meat at the state-run restaurant?" Noticing her brother had lost some weight, Xu Mumu felt a slight pang of heartache.

"No way, I still have work to do. Our team leader is watching over there; I can only take a ten-minute break." Xu Minghui steeled himself.

"When I’m on leave, you should treat me to meat at the state-run restaurant." Xu Minghui quickly said, though it felt a bit shameful to have his sister treat him to meat. Whenever he gets paid, he hands over most of his salary, and all the meat coupons go to their mother.

"Okay." Xu Mumu nodded. This week, Xu Minghui was working overtime, but next week he could rest an extra day, and she would have time to take him to eat meat then.

"How’s everything at home?" Xu Minghui asked about home, worried about their mother being pregnant.

"Everything’s fine, brother. You don’t need to worry about home, just focus on doing your job well."

"Hey, Yin Zhiqing, you’re here too?" Xu Minghui finally noticed Yin Yang.

Yin Yang: "..." It was the first time he’d been ignored before, and it was quite a novel feeling. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Yin Zhiqing brought me to the experiment base." Xu Mumu explained a bit about how Yin Yang helped her find work to Xu Minghui.

"Yin Zhiqing, thank you for helping my sister. If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I’ll do what I can." Xu Minghui patted Yin Yang on the shoulder, looking all chivalrous.

This made Xu Minghui feel a bit bad; it was because he wasn’t accomplished enough yet. If he were, his sister wouldn’t need to ask others for help.

That’s right, in Xu Minghui’s eyes, Xu Mumu’s job was something she begged from Yin Yang.

Someone was already calling for Xu Minghui; before leaving, Xu Minghui patted Yin Yang’s arm and then strode determinedly towards his work.

Although she didn’t know what her brother was thinking, how he suddenly became so motivated, it seemed to be a good thing. Xu Mumu wasn’t inclined to dwell on it.

"There’s still time, do you want to go stroll around?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu.

"Let’s go." Xu Mumu nodded. Luo Yanrui asked them to come by at two in the afternoon; it was only a bit after nine in the morning, so there was plenty of time.

Walking on the county’s streets, besides the state-run places, there were no vendors. The enforcement team was even catching those engaging in unsanctioned trades.

"There’s a movie screening there, want to go check it out?" Yin Yang’s gaze fell on Xu Mumu, eyes filled with anticipation and a little bit of nervousness, unnoticed even by himself.

"A movie, huh? I have a classmate selling tickets there. Let’s go take a look." Xu Mumu didn’t notice Yin Yang’s expression. She thought of Xue Yan and felt a bit wistful.

Walking into the theater, this cinema was really run-down, yet there were still many people there watching movies. As Xu Mumu entered, Xue Yan noticed her immediately.

"Mumu, over here." Xue Yan excitedly waved at Xu Mumu while handing tickets to buyers.

"Xue Yan." Xu Mumu smiled and nodded at Xue Yan. The current Xue Yan had changed a lot from when she last saw her. Now, Xue Yan wore mature makeup and more fashionable clothes.

Indeed, society is a melting pot that greatly changes people. Xue Yan hadn’t been working for very long, yet the changes were significant.

"Oh, Mumu, is this your boyfriend or what? Not going to introduce him to me?" Xue Yan’s eyes lit up when she saw Yin Yang. It was the first time she’d seen such an outstandingly handsome man. Xue Yan gave Xu Mumu a teasing look.

"I’m Yin Yang, Mumu’s friend. Hello." Yin Yang said with a warm smile. Hearing Xue Yan mention he was Xu Mumu’s boyfriend, he felt his heart race.

"A friend, huh? Alright then, Comrade Yin Yang, hello." Xue Yan gave Xu Mumu a disapproving look, as if to say, "Why not hold onto such a good man, sister."

"We’re in the county for some business, so we came by to support your work. What movies are showing lately?" Xu Mumu helplessly changed the subject.

"The most popular one recently is definitely ’Tunnel Warfare.’ I’ve watched it several times; it’s really good, highly recommended. You two go watch it; it’s on me." Xue Yan immediately started promoting the movie to Xu Mumu.

"This movie, huh, I’ve heard of it, no need for you to pay; I’ve got my own money." Xu Mumu said helplessly, though she had seen this classic in the future and was looking forward to it regardless.

"Let me handle it. Two movie tickets for Mumu and me." Yin Yang took out ten cents; movie tickets usually cost five cents each.

"Alright, alright, no problem, take these. I picked two seats towards the front for you." Xue Yan didn’t give Xu Mumu a chance to speak, quickly taking Yin Yang’s money and handing over the tickets, giving Xu Mumu a little wink.

Unfortunately, Xu Mumu didn’t catch the hint. Looking at the movie tickets in her hand and then at Yin Yang, she thought, well, since he bought the tickets, she’d pay for any other expenses he might have later.

"Here, Mumu, take these to eat during the movie. I saved them just for you two." Xue Yan put two handfuls of sunflower seeds in Xu Mumu’s hand.
