70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 211: Movie Invitation
"Why did you think of giving him something?" Li Caixia was a little puzzled.
"He’s given me so many things, we can’t just take and not give," Xu Mumu looked at Li Caixia.
"Yes, yes, we should definitely give something back. Yin Zhiqing is so generous, if we give him something this time, next time he’ll definitely give you something even better." Li Caixia’s mind raced with ideas.
Xu Mumu twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to keep up with her mother’s train of thought. Although it seemed to be true, she hadn’t thought that far ahead.
Mom is still the same old mom, and she humbly admitted her defeat.
"Why don’t you make something to eat and send it over? If you make it by hand, that boy will surely be happy." Li Caixia said excitedly. To be honest, with Yin Yang being so generous, she slightly hoped for him to become their son-in-law.
"It definitely has more meaning if it’s handmade, but what should I make?" Xu Mumu nodded. She couldn’t think of anything else, and she’d never given a boy a gift before. As for making clothes or scarves, she couldn’t do that, but she could cook a bit, though her skills were average.
"Aren’t Minglei’s rabbits grown now? Kill one, roast half and send it over, and leave half for us at home." Li Caixia said calmly.
"Forget it, if I really did that, Minglei and the others would cry." Xu Mumu said, half-laughing and half-exasperated, surprised that her mom was thinking about the rabbits that the little ones were raising.
The three little rabbits were well taken care of by the kids. They’d feed them grass every day and even clean the rabbit hutches meticulously.
Being so carefully looked after, the little rabbits naturally grew up well.
Rabbits grow quite quickly. In just over two months, they’ve fully grown into big rabbits.
The kids were already talking about breeding them so they could have even more rabbits.
"I’ll go up the mountain tomorrow to see if there are any wild chickens. Bringing back a couple of wild chickens would be nice too." Xu Mumu thought and said.
By evening, Yin Yang came over again. This time, he looked much better, having rested in the afternoon.
"Mumu, these are for you and your siblings to eat." Yin Yang handed a large bag to Xu Mumu.
"So much?" Xu Mumu was momentarily stunned and looked at Yin Yang in surprise. Could it be that he brought all his belongings here to give to her? This kid, from what she understood, wasn’t supposed to be that kind of softie.
"Not much at all. I don’t particularly like these foods, so I brought them especially for you guys. I hadn’t sorted them out before, so I’m only bringing them to you now." Yin Yang said with a smile.
"Did you seriously bring everything you brought back here just for me?" Xu Mumu asked helplessly.
"No, I kept quite a bit for myself. Don’t worry, just take it." Yin Yang shook his head, smiling.
Seeing Yin Yang’s expectant look, Xu Mumu decided to accept the things.
"Mumu, the holiday starts in a few days. Are you heading to the shoe factory as soon as it begins?" Yin Yang asked Xu Mumu.
"No, I plan to rest for a few days before going." Xu Mumu shook her head.
"I heard there’s a new movie out recently. Do you want to go see it? My treat." Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu eagerly. It really wasn’t easy to try to ask her out.
"Sure." Xu Mumu said with a bright smile. Since she’s already thinking about giving this guy a chance, she’s ready to get to know him better and see if it will work out.
"You agreed." Yin Yang’s eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Mumu, worried if he heard wrong.
"Mm, I agreed." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile. Yin Yang, in this state, didn’t seem like the smart character in books; he seemed more like a simple-minded boy. That’s exactly why Xu Mumu found him more genuine.
When Yin Yang got back to the commune, he was a bit dizzy. Xu Mumu actually agreed to watch a movie with him.
She must know what he meant, and she still agreed. If it weren’t for all the people in the commune, he would’ve shouted out loud a few times with excitement.
The next morning, Xu Mumu took Xu Jiaojiao up the mountain. The kids were busy every day; now, with the mushroom season near, they often go to spots where the mushrooms grew last year to check. These days they can gather two or three mushrooms a day. Selling them would be too few and inconvenient, so they just keep them to eat at home.
They also have to take care of the domestic rabbits every day. Each one of them is busy.
Xu Jiaojiao was planning to find grass for the rabbits today, but hearing Xu Mumu talk about going up the mountain, she followed her up.
"Big sis, a few days ago Mingzi hit a really fat wild chicken." Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Mumu, a little excited. It’d been a long time since she’d gone with her big sis to hunt wild game. She also wanted to eat wild chicken and rabbit. There were rabbits at home, but they were too precious to eat. They needed to keep them for breeding.
"Mingzi’s got pretty good luck." Xu Mumu said with a smile. She’d heard about this from her mom too.
"Big sis, I want to eat roasted chicken." Xu Jiaojiao licked her lips.
"I’ll try to get a couple more chickens, and then we can roast one to eat." Hearing Xu Jiaojiao, Xu Mumu also started craving the taste of roasted chicken.
"Yeah, yeah, I’ll help big sis find wild chickens." Xu Jiaojiao became even more excited.
The sisters walked towards the mountain. It had rained a bit a few days earlier, so the mountain was still somewhat damp. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
There were some mushrooms on the mountain; Xu Jiaojiao picked them up and brought them home. There were already plenty drying at home, and once there were enough, the kids planned to have Xu Mumu help them sell the dried mushrooms.
Not far out, Xu Mumu spotted a wild chicken. She had her slingshot ready, and as soon as she saw the chicken, she shot it straight away.
"Big sis, big sis." Xu Jiaojiao picked up the wild chicken, brimming with excitement. The chicken wasn’t dead yet; she quickly tied its legs with some grass to prevent it from running away later.
"It’s a bit small." Xu Mumu commented nonchalantly upon seeing the wild chicken Xu Jiaojiao brought over.
"We’ll definitely come across bigger ones later." Xu Jiaojiao said happily. They’d just started and already had a catch, so today must be a lucky day. The little girl was confident they would catch more wild chickens.
The wild chicken was tossed into Xu Mumu’s carrying basket, and they continued moving forward.
"Big sis, why are we going this way? There’s a cliff over there; there are no wild chickens that way." Xu Jiaojiao asked, puzzled by Xu Mumu’s direction.
"Just going to take a look. I’ve never checked that area." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"Alright then." Xu Jiaojiao nodded, not saying more, and followed Xu Mumu towards the cliff. After walking for over twenty minutes, they reached the spot. No more wild chickens, but they did catch a rabbit, a male. It wasn’t killed, and Xu Jiaojiao insisted on bringing it back for breeding the house rabbits.
