After walking around for a whole day, my feet were sore, but I still couldn't find any relevant information.
"Why are you following me? Shouldn't you be back home? Why are you here? (We agreed that the military camp is our home)"
I followed him into the guesthouse, and Brother Ning remained silent. I felt a little uneasy. What was he doing? Even if it was a mission, there was no way he could stay overnight! Now there was a rule: you could only live together if you had a marriage certificate.
"What are you doing up there, comrade? You can't stay there for more than five minutes, or I'll call for help."
The older woman at the guesthouse called out from the window, and Ning nodded repeatedly. He followed her into the room and began to look around.
"Be sure to lock the doors and windows when you go to bed. Put a chair behind the door. If anything happens, remember to shout loudly. We have someone staying here."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and left in less than two minutes. It was so fast that Jiang Cha was caught off guard. She thought something would happen unexpectedly, the pornographic articles that had misled her all those years.
Her brother Ning is a gentleman, and so is she, for sure!
She closed the windows, drew the curtains, locked the door, and took out her large sack to cover it. She went into the space to wash and change clothes, and came out with the belt on her body to sleep.
She hadn't let up since she received the order. Even though they had fun during the day, neither of them had really let down their guard. They were probably distracted by the hand-holding incident, so no one noticed.
A peaceful night passed. Jiang Cha quickly changed clothes, washed up, and put away the sack and bedding. After a simple tidying up, he opened the door and waited for Brother Ning to come.
"Come on, let me take you to breakfast. You must not have tasted breakfast in Hangzhou, right?"
As soon as she opened the door, she met Brother Ning who came over and took her to have breakfast without saying a word.
Shrimp wontons, scallion stew. The more she ate, the sadder she felt. Her small fish and shrimp, her crabs, her snails, her... that damned 'Black Dragon'. With the city-wide controls in place, she couldn't buy anything in bulk on the black market. She had to catch this bastard.
"It's called Scallion-wrapped Cypress, but it's not the real Qin Hui. You don't have to eat it like you're out for revenge."
I glared at the man opposite me and asked her what to say. She said that catching bad guys affected my stockpiling. How could that be possible?
"I like Yue Fei, but how many people don't hate treacherous ministers?"
"After eating, let's go to Hefang Street to do some shopping. Who would go shopping empty-handed? How about we go to the movies after shopping and then come back to eat?"
"Brother Ning, you are quite knowledgeable. Let's go. I want to check out the old shops here first."
Xie Fuchun and Dai Chunrong are both century-old brands. Xie Fuchun has now changed its name to the local state-owned Yangshi Daily Chemical Factory, but Dai Chunrong is not sure.
After entering the department store, she asked Brother Ning to wait for her. Dai Chunrong's peach blossom gouache cream has beautiful packaging, and Xie Fuchun's duck egg powder and ointment.
When I handed the money to the salesperson who was issuing the ticket, I was stopped by a big hand halfway.
"Put the money back. Who would ask a girl to pay for dating?"
'Shua'
Instantly, many pairs of eyes turned to look at them. This wave of attention was a bit high, and she felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and walked out quickly, even forgetting her partner.
"You were so mean. You ran away by yourself and forgot about me. Look, I bought all your things back for you."
He shook the bag in his hand and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Brother Ning. I'll give you the money when we get back to the guesthouse tonight. Let's—"
"Keep your distance. I don't want to be chased on this street a second time."
After saying that, he even pushed her head away with his fingers. He was just trying to whisper a few words, so he leaned a little closer. How could that be? She was also a girl.
'snort'
She stuffed the paper bag from the department store into her bag. What's the meaning of "taking from someone and then giving back"? What's the meaning of "being polite"? There's no such thing as that.
I was wandering around the street looking around and saw the movie theater's bulletin board with the movies playing today posted on it.
"Sunny Day", "Little Trumpet", "Fighting Flood", "Little Eighth Route Army Soldier".
Finally, I chose "Little Eighth Route Army", a new film released in 1973, produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, a puppet film.
Jiang Cha was very engrossed in watching the whole movie. Both the plot of the movie and the movements of the puppets were really interesting.
You know, she has a lot to say about watching movies. She used to work in a movie theater and was affectionately called "Popcorn Man".
The original owner had also seen many films, and the auditorium in the compound often showed various movies. They had seen all kinds of movies available outside, and they could also see those that were not available outside or those that were banned.
She was often kicked out by the older kids. I don't know why, but she left the compound before she reached that age. Later on, she never got involved in the compound.
When the two of them came out, she hadn't even finished the soda in her hand. She was so focused on watching the movie that she hadn't finished much of it. She quickly drank it in a few gulps and followed him to return the bottle.
"I'm not dating, I'm just trying to coax a child. Look at us, except that we're both from the same school."
The look in her brother Ning's eyes was hilarious. There were only two adults in the room, and the children kept turning around to peek at them.
Fortunately, this is not a real relationship, otherwise we would be looking forward to the dark cinema, holding hands and secretly kissing, and turning around to see more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at us. No one can bear this kind of attention.
The more I thought about it, the funnier it seemed. After returning the bottle, I asked him to go to the cinema window and pointed at the promotional posters and asked him to choose another one.
"You pick one, and I'll watch it with you again, okay? Don't be angry, there are several!"
I gestured back and forth at several posters, launching a series of coquettish attacks on Brother Ning. I finally chose "Fighting the Flood." If it weren't for his gestures, who would have been coquettish with him? I went to the small window selling non-staple food and bought a bag of sunflower seeds and two bottles of soda.
