Chapter 337: 109: Teach the scum a lesson, be the matchmaker_4
Ni Cuihua reluctantly accepted the escargot, closing her eyes as she ate it.
As she ate, Ni Cuihua suddenly realized that expensive food indeed had its worth.
This foreign escargot tasted even better than the river snails!
While indulging in French escargot and rich, aromatic cappuccino with a violin playing gracefully in the background, Ni Yang experienced relaxation like never before.
When the pizza was delivered, Ni Cuihua thought it was a pancake.
Ni Yang laughed as she explained it was pizza.
Ni Cuihua uttered astonishment at her own lack of knowledge.
Ni Yang said; “Mom, Western food has just started to penetrate our domestic market, there are only two places in Beijing that serve it. It’s quite normal for you not to know, knowledge grows gradually, one can’t grow fat with a single gulp.”
Not only does Beijing have Western food, but also Japanese food.
Ni Yang thought about it and decided to take Ni Cuihua to try Japanese food during their next trip to the city.
After dinner, as they were leaving the restaurant, Ni Yang noticed a movie theater’s poster.
The large poster advertised four big characters: “The Shaolin Kid”.
“Mom, let’s go watch a movie,” Ni Yang suggested, turning her gaze towards Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua instinctively declined, “It’s getting late, let’s go home.”
Ni Yang, arm in arm with Ni Cuihua, urged, “Come on, Mom. One movie ticket costs only 30 cents.”
To the former Ni Cuihua, thirty cents was a considerable sum, it could even be called a ‘fortune’!
But for Ni Cuihua now, it was nothing compared to the 168 yuan they just spent on a plate of French escargot!
“Alright, let’s go.” Ni Cuihua agreed, laughing.
Ni Yang went to buy two movie tickets.
The cinema was large, but not many people were inside, half of them were couples who came together.
Little Ni Yun was very understanding, completely quiet throughout the movie, attentively watching the big screen as if she understood everything happening.
The shooting location of ‘The Shaolin Kid’ was Guilin, the scenery was very beautiful. Watching the scene of the pig cage dunking, Ni Cuihua couldn’t help but tear up.
Luckily, only that scene was sentimental, the rest of the movie was comparably breezy and humorous.
Watching the movie was refreshing both mentally and physically.
After the movie, Ni Yang took Ni Cuihua to the flower market where they bought some peach, apple, and pear saplings.
As they passed a funeral supply store, Ni Cuihua said: “Yangyang, wait outside with Yunyun.”
“Alright.” Ni Yang nodded, reaching out to carry little Ni Yun.
Ni Cuihua turned and went into the funeral supply store. When she came out again, she had an additional large bag in her hand.
Once they were home, Ni Cuihua opened the bag.
Inside were some paper ingots and spirit money, along with five blank spirit tablets.
Then Ni Cuihua continued, “Yangyang, the Qingming festival is coming soon. We should set up the spirit tablets for your grandparents and the three sisters. On the day of the festival, we will burn more paper money for them.”
Though Ni Cuihua was fully aware that she was an abandoned child, she was still raised by her adoptive parents.
It was only right to set up spirit tablets.
This was the first time Ni Cuihua spoke to Ni Yang about the three abandoned siblings. Ni Yang responded: “Mom, are you sure I lost all three sisters?”
Even in the countryside, not every abandoned child left in the wilderness dies. They might not have all passed away.
At that time, Ni Yang was too young and na?ve to know where exactly the three sisters were abandoned.
If they weren’t abandoned on the back mountain, there might be a chance that they survived.
Ni Cuihua’s eyes immediately turned red, she choked out the words: “After your second, third and fourth sisters were discarded, I also secretly searched in the back mountain, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. There are so many wolves on the back mountain…..”
Those were three unfortunate children born to her, their useless mother.
Ni Cuihua usually only let her tears flow late at night when everyone else was asleep. But today, she couldn’t hold back.
As a mother, every time she thought of her three unfortunate daughters, her heart ached unbearably.
After all, they were her flesh and blood…
Ni Yang responded: “Perhaps, they weren’t abandoned on the back mountain at all. Mom, don’t be so pessimistic. For all you know, my three sisters might still be alive!”
Alive?
Upon hearing this, Ni Cuihua seemed to glimpse at redemption.
Could they really be alive?
She didn’t know…
Ni Cuihua said: “If your second sister is still alive, she would be 17 this year. The third sister would be 16, and the youngest, the fourth sister would just turn 12…”. Ni Cuihua clearly remembered their birth dates.
