Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 94
93. Chinese New Year
With a huge sum of 25 yuan in his hand, Xiaobao has been in a state of excitement for the past few days.

Although the second sister only allowed him to take fifty cents to go out every day, fifty cents was a lot to him.

This is money that he can freely control!Buy whatever you want, what a degree of freedom!

Before that, he had never spent a penny by himself freely.

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest sister and the second sister have not gone out again. One is studying, and the other is watching TV at home while cooking.

There is no business at home these days, Xiaobao has nothing to do, and he can't stay at home at all. On the afternoon of the second day of junior high school, Xiaobao went out with [-] cents. He originally planned to buy some delicious food, but these days, there are many Candies, pastries, and boiled peanuts were bought by the eldest sister and left there to eat casually. In terms of food, the family had enough preparations, so Xiaobao bought them all with fifty cents for firecrackers.

Xiaobao set off firecrackers near his home, because he set off firecrackers too frequently, which attracted the attention of some nearby children. They gathered around to watch, and took the initiative to chat with Xiaobao. After a while, they played together lively .

On the following third day of junior high school, Xiaobao also bought firecrackers worth [-] cents and went to play with the neighbors and children near his home.

On the fourth day of junior high school, Xiaobao felt a little tired of setting off firecrackers every day, so he asked a friend if there was anything else fun.

The little friend said: "Have you ever been in the video hall?"

"What is a video hall?"

"That's where movies are shown, but it's different from movie theaters. Movie tickets in movie theaters cost [-] cents once, and only one movie is shown, but in the video hall, tickets are bought once, and they show three A movie, do you think it's worth it? Is it enjoyable to watch?"

Xiaobao excitedly said: "Really? Then let's go watch together tomorrow."

The other party hesitated and said: "But I only have one yuan of New Year's money, and I only have thirty cents left."

"It's okay, I'll make up for the other two cents."

So, on the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Xiaobao secretly took an extra [-] cents from home and went out with that little friend to the video studio on Zhengyi Road.

Because the second sister stipulated that she could only bring [-] cents to go out every day, Xiaobao brought an extra [-] cents to go out on the fourth day of the fourth day, so at night, Xiaobao dared not tell the eldest sister and second sister that he went to the video studio that day.

Watching videos is really cool, because you can watch three movies for one yuan, and the price is cheaper than going to a movie theater.

Xiaobao decided to watch the video the next day.

Because the little friend who went together yesterday had no money today, and Xiaobao was reluctant to spend any more money on him, so he went to the video hall by himself.

When the video was over, Xiao Bao was still unsatisfied, and watched the next day's broadcast preview on the promotional poster at the entrance of the video hall.

The films are different every day, but the content of the same day is the same.

Xiaobao wanted to know in advance whether the next day's movie would be exciting, and when he was reading the poster, there was someone watching it beside him.

This is a man in his 40s, looking amiable, he said casually: "My child, can you understand the poster above?"

Xiaobao said unconvinced: "Of course I can understand. I am already a primary school student, so I know all those words."

"What a clever boy! And the kind of cleverness I've never seen before."

Xiao Bao was very proud of being praised.

"Of course, I got a double percentile in the test!"

"Ah! That's even better! How did your parents educate you and teach you so well?"

When mentioning mom and dad, Xiao Bao's expression was gloomy, because these two words were unfamiliar to him, and in his impression, he had no idea what it would be like without mom and dad.

The other party also saw the change in Xiaobao's expression, and he deliberately said tentatively: "Who brought you to watch the video, kid? Is it Mom and Dad?"

"I came by myself, I didn't have a mum and dad, they died when I was two years old."

"Ah! That's even more powerful. I'm so young, I can watch the video by myself. Is the video good?"

"It looks good, but it's not addictive. It would be even better if I could play five movies a day."

"There is a video hall in front of you, and you can watch five movies a day, and that's how enjoyable it is."

"Really? There's also a video room that plays five movies at a time, where is it?"

"On the street not far ahead, the videos shown in the video hall are all martial arts movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are much better than the ones here, and they are also cheaper. The ticket price is only [-] cents, which is more cost-effective and better than here. .”

Xiaobao said excitedly: "That's it! That's great, I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning."

"The location of the video hall is hard to find. Most people can't find it at all. You can find it by yourself tomorrow morning. Don't look for it for a long time. What if you miss a good show?"

Xiaobao thought for a while: "Then I will ask! When I get there, I will ask if anyone knows where the video studio on this street is."

"Because there are too many people watching, a large venue is needed, so I chose a small alley, which is difficult to find. Otherwise, I will take you to find the way now, and tomorrow morning, you don't have to go to the venue again." Find it, and you can go and see it directly.”

Xiaobao said straightforwardly: "Okay, please take me to take a look, so I won't have to look for it tomorrow morning."

The man took Xiaobao to the opposite street: "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaobao."

"It's a nice name."

The man took out a pie from his pocket.

"Xiaobao, eat cake, it's delicious."

"My eldest sister said, you can't just eat other people's food."

"We're already friends, not someone else."

"I'm not hungry, thank you uncle."

"It tastes good, what a pity! You don't want to eat it."

"Don't eat!"

Saying that, they turned into a small alley, turned again, turned again, and came to the door of a house, and the man knocked on the door.

"Is this the place?" Xiaobao looked up, down, left, and right.

At this time, the door opened, and it was a woman who opened the door.

Xiaobao looked inside, and saw that it looked like someone else's home: "This is not like a place to play video either!"

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed into the room, and before he could stand still, he was hit hard from behind, Xiao Bao's eyes went dark, and he passed out.

When Xiaobao woke up, he was lying on the bed, and his eyes were pitch black, the kind of darkness that the sky darkened, because the light outside the house penetrated through the crack of the door.

Xiaobao felt sore in his arms and legs, but he found that his hands and feet were bound and he couldn't move at all.

At this time, he heard a woman's voice outside the house saying: "This child has slept for seven or eight hours, is there anything wrong with it? You are too aggressive, if you are stupid, you won't be able to sell it for a good price."
