Chapter 151 Seats Taken in the Cinema
When Jiang Chengcheng arrived at her grandmother's house, most of the younger generation had already arrived. After paying her respects to her grandmother, she successfully received a New Year's red envelope with a face value of one hundred yuan.
"Sis, how about we go see a movie? There's nothing much to do anyway," Jiang Yu suggested from the sofa.
"Are there still tickets available to see the movie now? If there are, it'll probably be this afternoon, right?" Jiang Chengcheng glanced at her phone upon hearing this, and sure enough, the morning tickets were basically sold out.
“I have tickets I booked in advance, let’s go together.” Jiang Yu said this while waving her phone at Jiang Chengcheng triumphantly, her face clearly showing a look of “wanting praise.”
"You've struck it rich?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, somewhat surprised.
You know, there are at least six or seven children in the family, some close and some not. My younger sister Jiang Yu said she was going to the movies in front of so many people, so it's impossible for her not to take them along.
This whole thing would cost at least four or five hundred. Jiang Chengcheng didn't care, but how much did her own younger sister get in red envelopes in a year? →_→ So she couldn't help but ask this question.
"Hehe! It wasn't me, it was a friendly donation from my dad." Jiang Yu scratched his head upon hearing this, marveling that his older sister understood his stingy nature best.
"What movie?" Jiang Chengcheng leaned closer and glanced at the movie ticket display on her phone.
"《Australia Storm》, directed by Chow Fat, I love him! He hasn't been seen in a long time." Jiang Yu said excitedly when she heard Jiang Chengcheng's question.
Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, the door behind them creaked open.
"Chengcheng, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're an older sister now, you should set a good example. Stop taking your younger siblings out all day. Learn from your older sister. She helps out at Grandma's house every holiday, and she's still out making dumplings." Aunt Lu Xiu started scolding Jiang Chengcheng in a sarcastic tone as soon as she entered the door.
"Auntie, what are you saying? I haven't seen you help make dumplings, have I? Did you install a surveillance camera on me to keep an eye on me? Besides, my sister is quite well-behaved and sensible, but she still doesn't please you." Jiang Chengcheng was speechless when she heard Lu Xiu's words. Her sister helped make dumplings and did the work, but in the end, she was still belittled by her aunt for various reasons every year.
"Hey! You've got quite a temper, haven't you? How dare you talk to your elders like that?" Lu Xiu noticed that ever since she last met Jiang Chengcheng, it was as if the other party had turned on some kind of switch. Before, when she said a few words, the other party never argued back, but now she couldn't say a single word.
"Haha, but you have to make sure people listen, right? After all, I'm not a robot, I can't just stand there and let you talk." Jiang Chengcheng didn't tolerate Lu Xiu's words and retorted directly.
If she had the means, she would have liked to tell the other person that even robots in later generations wouldn't just stand there and let you yell at them!
“Since Auntie has nothing else to do, I took my younger siblings to see a movie. Oh, and my sister is the younger generation in the family, so she’ll definitely be going to the movies with us. So, the task of making dumplings is up to you! The capable should do more!” Jiang Chengcheng gave Lu Xiu a smile that could kill, and then pulled the embarrassed Jiang Yu out of the house.
"You!" Lu Xiu was caught off guard by Jiang Chengcheng's retort and didn't react for a moment. By the time she realized what was happening and wanted to scold Jiang Chengcheng, she couldn't find her anywhere.
……
Outside.
Jiang Yue was invited by Jiang Yu to go to the movies. Among them, only her older sister Jiang Yue had a driver's license, so naturally she had to drive, since Jiang Chengcheng's driver from Beijing didn't come along.
"Sister, I'm sorry, that's just how my mom is. She's sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. She's like that with me too," Jiang Yu said apologetically to Jiang Chengcheng from the back seat.
"It's okay, don't take it to heart. I still argued back, didn't I?" Jiang Chengcheng smiled slightly and rubbed Jiang Yu's head, indicating that she didn't care.
Although her aunt often spoke in a way that was unpleasant to hear and liked to show off, she was not a truly evil person. She preferred to put everything out in the open and would not engage in underhanded tactics behind people's backs.
Although Jiang Chengcheng didn't like her much, it wasn't enough to cause such a commotion at home.
"Mmm! I knew my sister was the most generous!" Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and stopped worrying about it.
When the group arrived at the cinema, it was almost packed. Jiang Chengcheng, seeing so many children in the family, told her sister Jiang Yue and went to the front desk to buy some snacks, then told them to find seats first.
When Jiang Chengcheng entered the cinema, it was already packed with people.
"How can you be so unreasonable! I've already said these seats are allocated according to movie tickets, and these are our seats! Your seats are in the back." Jiang Chengcheng heard her sister Jiang Yue arguing with someone even before she went in.
what's the situation?
Jiang Chengcheng frowned and glanced in the direction of the sound, but unfortunately the movie theater was too dark and she wasn't very close, so she couldn't see what was going on inside.
Jiang Chengcheng shone her flashlight. After finally reaching her seat, she could see what was going on.
"Sis, isn't this our seat?" Jiang Chengcheng looked at the ticket stub in her hand again by the dim light of her phone.
Seat 5 in the third row of Hall 1.
The location is correct; the problem lies with the person.
“Chengcheng, these people were faster than us. They sat down as soon as they came in! I told them this was our seat, but they wouldn’t move.” Jiang Yue saw Jiang Chengcheng and, as if she had found her pillar of support, quickly explained.
"What? Your seat? These seats were taken first! First come, first served! These are our seats!"
"Yeah, right! There aren't that many rules in this movie theater! You just arrived later than us and wanted to take this spot because you thought it had a better view!"
"Hehehe! I won't let you! What are you going to do about it, you stinky woman!"
The six seats that Jiang Yu bought were not all occupied. Only the three middle seats were occupied by a family of three who shamelessly sat there. Even though they knew they were in the wrong, they still mocked Jiang Chengcheng and the others.
He had this "I'm not afraid of boiling water" attitude, which made Jiang Chengcheng, who had seen all sorts of oddballs, laugh in exasperation.
"Sis, why don't you go find the cinema staff first? They should be able to help deal with this kind of person." Jiang Chengcheng had encountered this kind of person many times before, and she was too lazy to argue with them, so she directly said to her sister Jiang Yue.
"Go ahead and go find it! If it's useful, I'll take the blame," the man in the family of three said arrogantly.
"Okay, you keep an eye on them, I'll go find some staff." Jiang Yue felt that this couldn't go on, the movie was about to start, and if they kept arguing, it would disturb others, so she quickly agreed and turned to walk out the door.
