She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 425 The Greedy Little Country Girl 5

Xutang Village is not considered to be very wealthy in the entire county, but it is big and has a relatively large population.

When Shen Weicang and Pei Jingche arrived at the east side of the village, the movie was still playing.

There was a curtain in front of him, and he could hear the voices of the characters in the movie from a long distance away. Shen Weicang was a little surprised: "Today's movie has sound!"

Pei Jingche looked at her sideways: "Didn't the movies played before have sound?"

Shen Weicang looked for his sister-in-law in the crowd: "The last time you came to the village, the movie you showed had no sound. In the past, the movies you showed in our place often had no sound either."

"What was the last performance?" she recalled. "There was no sound and I had no idea what was going on. I just remember it was about fighting the Japanese. I think they even dug a tunnel."

Shen Weicang caught a movie showing on the first day she arrived in Xutang Village. This was her second time watching a movie in this village.

There were too many people watching the movie. She bent over skillfully and squeezed to the front. She also turned around to remind Pei Jingche: "You have to follow me closely, otherwise you won't be able to find me later."

Pei Jingche also imitated her and bent over, which was a bit funny: "Comrade Shen, why don't you hold me? If I lose you tonight, I won't even have a place to sleep."

Shen Weicang didn't think much about it. He reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes and walked forward a few steps. He looked around and walked in one direction.

"Uncle, sister-in-law, sister Qingqing!" She lowered her voice and came closer, "What movie is playing today?"

Zhou Jinjun and Shi Cuiyun turned their heads together, and when they saw her coming, they quickly greeted her, "Cangcang, why are you here just now? Come and sit over here."

Shen Weicang sat down on the stool very naturally: "Uncle, aunt, this is Captain Pei. There is a wedding at Aunt Lian's house today, and he is the witness."

Zhou Jinjun naturally recognized Pei Jingche. He was a little puzzled: "Why did Captain Pei come here with Cang Cang?"

He looked at Shi Cuiyun and said, "You hold Minhong, and let Captain Pei sit down."

Shi Cuiyun responded, held her youngest son in her arms, and asked Pei Jingche to sit down. Just as Zhou Jinjun was about to say something, Pei Jingche had already sat down on the small bench next to her, next to Shen Weicang.

"Uncle, aunt, something went wrong tonight, and I asked Comrade Shen to let me stay for one night. I don't know if it's convenient for my family. I'm really sorry for being so rude."

Zhou Jinjun and Shi Cuiyun hurriedly said, "It's convenient, it's not inconvenient at all. Captain Pei, please don't look down on our family."

Zhou Minqing sat on the other side of Shen Weicang and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Cangcang, what does Xu Jingxiang want to talk to you about? Don't be foolish enough to be fooled by her."

Shen Weicang glanced at Pei Jingche and shook his head: "Nothing, she just said a few words to me."

Zhou Minqing snorted, "Just now her brother came over and said the house was on fire, causing a huge mess here. Then he came back and said there was no fire. We couldn't even watch the movie."

Shen Weicang's attention was already on the movie: "Sister Qingqing, what is this movie about?"

The screen was in black and white. Although there was no color, it was still a rare novelty for the villagers who lacked entertainment activities. Shen Weicang looked ahead with bright eyes.

"It's a war movie," Zhou Minqing continued to watch the movie, "but it's a little different from the last time. This one also has a relationship."

Zhou Jinjun looked at Pei Jingche who was sitting between Shi Cuiyun and Shen Weicang, and nudged Shi Cuiyun with his elbow: "Is it uncomfortable for Captain Pei to sit on that small stool? You sit on mine, and give him my stool."

Shi Cuiyun turned her head and saw Pei Jingche's long legs curled up.

The small stool was used for sitting when cooking at home. It was very short and usually only Zhou Minhong sat on it. He was only three years old this year and his short legs were just right for sitting on the small stool.

Pei Jingche hurriedly pulled Shi Cuiyun's sleeve and said, "Aunt, there's no need to change. I'm lucky enough to be able to sit. Why should I be so picky?"

Seeing that he insisted on sitting on the small bench, Zhou Jinjun and Shi Cuiyun didn't want to stand out in the crowd, so they had to give up.

On the screen, the hero woke up in a war zone hospital and had a happy chat with the heroine, who was a doctor.

Pei Jingche had seen this movie a long time ago and remembered the plot clearly, but with Shen Weicang sitting next to him, he had a different feeling in his heart.

Shen Weicang remembered the peach cake in his hand, gave a few pieces to the Zhou family, and handed one piece to Pei Jingche.

She leaned over and whispered, "Captain Pei, this is what Jingxiang gave me. You should have some too."

Her tone was naturally playful and cute: "Jingxiang used it to bribe me to watch you."

Pei Jingche took it in his hand, feeling a little amused.

The light from the curtain shone over him, and he saw Shen Weicang bit his lip in confusion, turned his head and looked at him: "Captain Pei, do you think these foods are not very pleasing to you?"

Pei Jingche shook his head: "How could that be? How can anyone dislike food?"

He ate the peach pastry in a few bites, even catching the broken crumbs with his hands and finally pouring them into his mouth.

Shen Weicang covered his lips and chuckled: "Jingxiang told me that your family is very well-off, and I was worried that you would look down on what we eat."

The curtain was hanging lightly, and there were a few children running back and forth behind it, affecting the image. Shen Weicang still looked at the picture on the curtain with relish. She asked naively:

"Jingxiang said your father was a leader and had fought in wars. Is that true?"

Pei Jingche frowned slightly. How did Xu Jingxiang know about his family situation?

He temporarily suppressed his displeasure, looked at the girl beside him and smiled, "My father did go to the battlefield."

Shen Weicang blinked. She originally thought that Xu Jingxiang was making up stories to deceive her, but she didn't expect that Pei Jingche was actually the leader's son?

She pointed to the battlefield scene on the screen and asked, "Is it like this when your father was fighting in the war?"

Pei Jingche quickly glanced at the movie screen and answered truthfully: "The battlefield situations in different periods are different. My father has fought in many wars and has seen all kinds of scenes, some even more tragic than this."

Shen Weicang's attention has been drawn away by the movie.

The hero's body has mostly recovered and he is about to go back to the front line. Before leaving, he gives a watch to the heroine.

Seeing that she was watching so seriously, Pei Jingche couldn't help but look back at the curtain. This part was the two of them clearly expressing their love for each other. Although they didn't say a thousand words to each other, the sight of them looking at each other with their hands tightly clasped made people feel their reluctance and determination.

He couldn't help but put himself in the situation, and kept an eye on the people around him out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Weicang kept staring at the watch until the picture changed.

"Captain Pei," she said jokingly, as if she had thought of something, "Jingxiang also told me that your mother is a doctor in the hospital. The people in this movie are really like your parents."

Pei Jingche's mother was indeed in the People's Hospital in Beijing. Confusion and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. Although his family was not top secret, it should not be something that Xu Jingxiang could easily find out.

How on earth did she know so clearly?
