Seeing Li Wenxiu next to her with a layer of sweat on her forehead, Tian Tian generously handed them the drinks and said, "It's so hot, you should all have a sip too, or you'll get dizzy from the sun."
"No need," Li Wenxiu smiled at Tian Tian, "This place is not far from the soda place. If I want to drink, I will buy another bottle myself later. You can keep these for yourself."
The remaining Liang Rong and Tian Yun also didn't drink anything.
Tian Tian had no choice but to continue squatting under the wall, holding her soda and melon seeds and waiting in line.
They waited for a short while, and before they even entered the cinema, they encountered another parade of people. This time, the parade was completely different from the governor and his wife that Tian Tian had seen last time. They were two different people, both tall and thin.
When Tian Tian saw the tall and thin man, her heart skipped a beat. But when those people walked up to her, she took a closer look and found that they were not Gu Xingshu. Only then did Tian Tian feel relieved.
Those people wearing red armbands who were parading around the two men, although their actions were quite extreme, also hated all kinds of petty bourgeoisie.
But they already knew the movies that were shown in their cinema, so there would be nothing wrong with them coming here to watch a movie. So when they saw these people queuing up to watch a movie, they didn't say anything. They just glanced at the people in the queue and continued to wave the whip, urging the two men forward.
Although those people didn't say anything, people of this era are already trembling with fear.
After they left, the people who were originally chatting and queuing suddenly became quiet, squatting on the road, one or two of them without saying a word.
Thanks to them, some people even left the movie without watching it. The long queue suddenly became much smaller. Tian Tian and the others also took a big step forward.
This also allowed them to successfully enter the cinema before the hottest noon. When they entered the cinema, there were still several seats in the room. The four of them groped in the dark and found a row of connected seats and sat down to watch the movie.
When almost everyone in the room had arrived, and even the corridor at the back was crowded with people, the movie began.
It should be said that people nowadays, although there is a shortage of materials, the movies made are still very good. The characters in them, whether male or female, always have a kind of vigorous vitality and a kind of simple beauty.
Moreover, every movie made is a classic, which is why people still like them after so many years.
Moreover, the actors in this movie all acted very well, and their eyes were bright, and it felt like they were real people, rather than actors playing characters, so the movie looked very infectious.
In the end, Tian Tian couldn't help crying after reading it. She was still considered lucky, because Tian Yun and Li Wenxiu beside her were crying their hearts out.
While Tian Tian was recalling the beautiful folk songs in the movie, she used a handkerchief to wipe their tears.
After they calmed down, they left the theater together. As soon as they left the theater, Liang Rong sighed with satisfaction, "This movie is really good. If the theater showed it every day, I would come to watch it every day."
Tian Yun nodded in agreement with red and swollen eyes. The movie was indeed good, but she didn't have enough money to watch movies every day.
"Should we go eat something? I'm so hungry now!" Liang Rong sighed and touched her stomach. They watched the movie in the morning and completely skipped lunch in the afternoon. Because the movie was so good, they forgot to eat the sunflower seeds in it, and now their stomachs are empty.
Tian Tian ran to return the bottle to the soda seller, and took it back to pawn the bottle for a deposit. As soon as she ran back, she heard Liang Rong say, "Why don't we go to the state-owned restaurant to see if there's anything to eat now?"
There probably isn't much food left in their school cafeteria at this time, so they can only go to the state-owned restaurant.
And we came out to have fun, how could we go back without eating anything?
Liang Rong didn't hesitate at all after hearing this, and immediately clapped her hands in cooperation. "Okay, I haven't eaten at a state-owned restaurant for a long time, so let's go have a meal today."
Tian Tian had some money and tickets, so she could afford to have a meal out occasionally.
Li Wenxiu's parents are both working, and they dote on her as the only daughter in the family. They have no shortage of money and tickets, so she has no objection to going to a state-owned restaurant.
Tian Yun was the only one left. Tian Yun lowered her head and hesitated. To be honest, she had no intention of eating out today, but now she thought about it. Eating in a state-owned restaurant was the same as eating at school. The money and food coupons she spent were actually the same. It was equivalent to her eating at school at noon today. So Tian Yun nodded and agreed.
Several people went to the state-owned hotel together.
It was not dinner time and there were very few people in the restaurant. After entering, Tian Tian stood in front of the small blackboard with today's menu written on it, not knowing what to order.
She looked at the braised meat written on it and swallowed her saliva, but then she thought that she didn't have a meat ticket and that a bowl of meat would cost a lot of money. So she forced herself to look away and look at the vegetarian dishes over there.
In the end, Tian Tian hesitated for a while and finally ordered the cheapest vegetable noodles, which was the same as Tian Yun’s and Tian Tian’s.
As soon as Liang Rong came in and saw the word "meat" written on the blackboard, she immediately ordered a bowl of rice and a bowl of braised meat without hesitation.
Although Li Wenxiu's family conditions were not as good as Liang Rong's, she finally chose a bowl of dry rice and a plate of fried meat with beans.
Because there were not many customers in the restaurant, the food they ordered was served quickly. They took their food to the table and sat down.
Liang Rong and Li Wenxiu pushed the dishes they ordered in front of Tian Tian and Tian Yun. "This dish is really too filling. The two of us can't finish it. Please help us eat some. Otherwise, we don't even have a lunch box, and the food will all be wasted."
At that time, the portions were really big. A bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables was probably too much for an adult man to finish.
In comparison, Tian Tian and her friends had much less noodles. They both ordered the smallest portion of 2 liang of noodles.
Moreover, they grew up in the countryside, worked every day, and had a good appetite. They also had a large appetite, and these two taels of noodles might not be enough for the two of them.
