She had seen Gu Wan before. The girl was delicate and timid. She always walked with her head down and looked indifferent to everything.

She thought that she was as aloof as the other educated youth at the educated youth site and looked down on the farmers.

She was surprised to see Xiong Mei greeting her, and she was even more surprised to see Gu Wan respond so kindly, and she couldn't believe it.

"We've moved, so there must be something missing at home. If there's anything I can help with, just tell me."

She really said that. In the village, every family helps each other when there is a problem. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The people in the educated youth camp were too wary of them.

I always feel that they will take advantage of them, and they are not as clean and tidy as them, and they speak with a dialect that is not very pleasant.

They are more or less disgusted with them, and everyone understands that, so no one is willing to approach them, but as long as you are willing to interact with them, they are very easy to talk to.

Gu Wan took her words as a courtesy and replied politely:

"Of course, of course, sister-in-law, you can come and visit me when you are free!" Gu Wan said casually. After all, everyone is busy at this time, working in the fields and at home. Who has time to visit?

But Xiong Mei nodded seriously.

"Okay, I'll come visit you when I'm free." The person next to him wanted to say something, but Xiong Mei suddenly pointed at the person next to him and said:

"This is the aunt of the Wu family. Her surname is Zhang. The Wu bamboo craftsman's home you went to is her brother's home."

"Hello, Mrs. Zhang."

Zhang Xiuxiu smiled at her and nodded. "Hello, Gu Zhiqing."

Gu Wan also smiled at her, but she was not very familiar with her, so there was nothing much to say. Her relationship with Xiong Mei was also polite and to the point.

"Sister Xiong, I won't bother you anymore. I have some things to do at home and I have to go back to clean them up."

Xiong Mei waved at her and said, "Go, go. By the way, do you need my help? How about I come over after I finish work this afternoon and help you?"

"No, no." Gu Wan didn't dare to ask her for help. The house had almost been cleaned and tidied up. She was just looking for an excuse.

She also had some modern things in her house, and if someone saw them, she wouldn't be able to explain it.

"Dr. Fang helped me clean up yesterday, and Dr. Fang often cleans our house, so there's nothing to clean up. I mainly need to organize my own things."

"Oh~" Xiong Mei nodded in understanding. "Doctor Fang likes cleanliness and keeps her house clean all the time. You really don't need to clean up your room if you live in her house."

"But don't be shy. If you need any help, just tell me. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Since our home is far away, just treat us as your uncle and aunt."

Gu Wan didn't expect Xiong Mei to be so enthusiastic. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but more moved, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiong. I will definitely ask you for help if I need it."

Xiong Mei nodded and let him go. "Okay, then you go and get busy. We also have to go to work. We just watched the excitement for a while, so we have to go and get busy quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we are seen."

The way Xiong Mei winked at her made her look even cuter.

Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, Xiong Mei called her back.

"By the way, Gu Zhiqing!"

"What's wrong, Aunt Xiong?" Gu Wan turned sideways and looked at her in confusion.

"Did you know that the brigade next door is going to show a movie tomorrow? They won the Advanced Brigade Award, and I heard that they have arranged to show the movie at their place. Do you want to go and watch it?"

There is no entertainment in the village at night.

Usually after dark, we would clean up and go to bed. Candles and kerosene lamps were expensive these days, and we would definitely not want to use these things when it gets dark.

Occasionally, if the brigade showed a movie, the nearby villagers would usually finish their dinner early and then walk together to watch the movie.

In the summer, even when it’s dark, you can still see the road clearly under the moonlight.

You don’t have to worry about falling, and since there are so many people, you don’t have to worry about encountering danger.

Sometimes, even if the adults don’t go, the children will walk there in the dark by themselves.

Watching a movie?

Gu Wan frowned and thought about it in her mind. She actually didn't have much interest.

In modern times, I don’t like watching TV series and movies very much. Sometimes when I’m really bored, I read a book. If that doesn’t work, I’ll search for old movies and TV series to watch.

Before traveling through time, it seemed like she hadn't watched any movies or TV series for a year or two?

Seeing Gu Wan's hesitation, Xiong Mei continued to encourage him:

"Gu Zhiqing, come on, come on. You've been stuck in the village all day. It's a rare chance to relax. Let's go and take a look together."

Seeing Xiong Mei's enthusiasm, Gu Wan couldn't say no: "Are you all going?"

"Of course!" Xiong Mei said without thinking. Seeing her stunned look, she explained:

"You know, there's nothing to do except work. It's rare that we can go to the movies. And when we watch movies, the machine spins and spins, and people come out, and they can talk. That movie is really good. By the way, Gu Zhiqing, have you ever seen a movie?"

After saying that, she patted her own mouth again and laughed:

"Look at what I'm asking. You're from the city, so you must see it often, right?"

There was a hint of envy in her eyes.

Gu Wan nodded, then shook her head. "I've seen it before. There's a special movie theater near my home that shows movies every day, but they all cost money. It costs ten or thirty cents to watch a movie, so I don't watch it often."

"Eh~" Xiong Mei's face was wrinkled with pain.

When I heard it was so expensive, I no longer envied being able to watch movies anytime in the city.

"It's so expensive. I really can't bear to spend it. But the brigade shows movies for free. They often show them in the countryside. It's free every time."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride on his face.

Gu Wan echoed her words and made a surprised expression: "Free?"

"Of course, so let's go and have a look together. It's very beautiful. There will be many people from our village and the neighboring villages going there."

What she wanted to say was that the educated youth would also go, but thinking about the current relationship between Gu Wan and those educated youth, she chose not to continue.

"That's fine, when are you going?"

When Xiong Mei heard that Gu Wan agreed to go with her, her eyes narrowed into slits with smile.

"Doctor Fang will definitely be there by then. We'll go after dinner. Your house happens to be right next to the main road in the village. I'll come to your door and call you then."

"Okay, let's go together then."

After reaching an agreement, the group separated.

Zhang Xiuxiu looked back several times to make sure that Gu Wan had gone far away, then she took Xiong Mei's arm and said, "This Gu Zhiqing is different from those people!"
