Chapter 118 An Unforgettable Battle
After lunch, Lin Xiaotong went to her room to rest. Even though Lin Xiaotong didn't live in the room all the time, it was still kept clean.
She leaned out of the window and looked down. Xie Yi and Doudou were playing with firecrackers downstairs. There were a circle of children surrounding them, and Doudou's giggles could be heard from time to time.
I had just finished eating and was dozing off on the edge of the bed when I saw a teddy bear next to my pillow. I frowned, hugged it in my arms, and squeezed it.
She had this ugly teddy bear in her previous life.
Lin Xiaotong thought about it, reached into the bedside table, and took out a photo album.
She sat down at the bedside desk and casually opened the photo album, flipping through the pages one by one. This album contained many photos of "her" and her family.
The first page is a photo of her when she was 100 years old. She has her eyes closed and looks like an ugly little monkey. She is being held in the arms of a short-haired woman with a smile on her face.
This should be her mother. Lin Xiaotong couldn't help but gently touch her mother's face with her hand.
On the second page, she is a little older and riding on the neck of a man who is grinning heartily.
This is dad, so nice.
The first photos are of the family, and most of the photos afterwards are of my aunt and uncle, with occasional photos of Lin's father and mother interspersed.
She grew up in an orphanage in her previous life. As far as she could remember, some volunteers would come from time to time to participate in activities, and there would be group photos after the activities.
The slightly grown-up Lin Xiaotong in the photo album in her hand looks exactly the same as she did in her previous life.
Fleeting glimpses evoke forgotten memories.
After eating, I felt a little sleepy and dizzy, so I went to bed.
When she opened her eyes again, Xie Yi was lying on the bed playing with her hair. When he saw Lin Xiaotong wake up, he whispered, "Xiaotong, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon."
Lin Xiaotong was just about to ask about the time when this man was really smart.
"Shall we go to the movies this afternoon? I heard from my uncle that there are many new movies released this year."
Xie Yi got out of bed, poured a cup of warm water from the thermos on the table and handed it to Lin Xiaotong.
She took it, took a sip to moisten her throat, and replied, "Okay, then let's go tell my aunt and the others."
The two of them simply tidied their clothes and pushed the door open to go out. Jing Qian and Wei Jianyuan sat on the sofa in the living room and talked.
Jing Qian saw the two people coming out from the corner of her eye and hurriedly said softly, "Xiaotong, you are awake."
"Aunt, uncle, Xie Yi and I are planning to go to the movies this afternoon, so we'll be leaving first."
Lin Xiaotong hugged Jing Qian and said reluctantly.
"Watch a movie? That's great! After the movie, we can go straight to the state-owned restaurant for a meal."
Wei Jianyuan replied cheerfully, then suddenly remembered something, got up and went to search in the bedroom, and came out with two movie tickets in his hand.
"It just so happens that our company has given out movie tickets. Oh, it's a new movie. You two can go and watch it."
Movie tickets are hard to buy during the Spring Festival. The normal price is 25 cents per ticket.
During the Chinese New Year, there are many people watching movies and they have to queue up in long lines. It is difficult to buy tickets because of the large crowds. If you buy tickets from ticket scalpers, the ticket price will be 2 to 3 times more expensive.
Wei Jianyuan's unit has good benefits and they always like to give out movie tickets during the Chinese New Year. They gave out several extra tickets this year. I just remembered this when I heard the two of them say they wanted to go to the movies.
"Wow, thank you, uncle. We'll be welcome then."
Lin Xiaotong reached out to take it, her eyebrows smiling. After taking a closer look, she found that the movie was "Unforgettable Battle", which she had never seen.
"This is nothing, take it."
"Xiaotong, Xiaoxie, take these things back with you. They were all distributed by your uncle's work unit. I think they are all good things. Let big brother and big sister have a taste too."
While they were talking, Jing Qian took out a bunch of things and packed them in bags.
Lin Xiaotong took a closer look and found that it was really a rare commodity: a can of tea, a bag of pickled duck, a box of beautifully packaged snacks, a small bag of rose cakes, and a bag of frozen hard prawns. The frozen goods were also covered with several layers of bags.
"Aunt, these are all good things, keep them for yourselves."
"I've kept a portion of these for you to take back. Oh, and eat this duck quickly. If you don't, it won't taste right."
Lin Xiaotong was about to burst into tears again. Her aunt and uncle were so nice.
When she was leaving, she looked back every two steps. Xie Yi was holding her arm to prevent her from accidentally bumping into the tree.
"You can also come here more often to accompany your aunt and the others."
Xie Yi tied a large bag of things to the front bar, waited for Lin Xiaotong to sit down, and said something while pedaling the bicycle.
"Actually, I come here to eat from time to time."
There’s nothing I can do about it, my uncle-in-law Weiwei Jianyuan is really good at cooking.
Lin Xiaotong put her hand into Xie Yi's shirt pocket, leaned her head against his back and said something.
When Xie Yi heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"So, who do you think cooks better, my uncle or my mom?"
Xie Yi said this slowly with a wicked smile.
"I think you're looking for a fight!"
Lin Xiaotong would not be fooled. This was obviously a trap.
"Hey, take my punch!"
"Wife, I was wrong."
The two of them went back to the compound playing and joking. They happened to pass by their house on their way to the cinema, so they put their things in the car first.
Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao haven't come back yet.
"There are so many people here today, let's not ride bikes."
"Okay, it's not far anyway."
There are more people during the Chinese New Year, and there are more petty thefts. Many people dare not carry a lot of money when they go out. If it is stolen, it will be difficult to get it back in a short time.
Many thieves are unable to steal large items like bicycles because they need to obtain a bicycle license with the purchase receipt before they can be used on the road, which costs 1.5 cents. Bicycles also have to pay an annual tax of 2.4 yuan.
After obtaining the license plate, a "steel stamp" will be hammered on the handlebars and tripod of the bicycle. This set of special numbers is unique and has been registered with the Public Security Bureau.
Generally, thieves don’t dare to steal. After all, things that have an owner can be recovered after reporting to the police and the case is solved.
However, there are also some bold ones who have connections in the black market. They find people to dismantle the bicycles, resell the parts, and sell them to others at a reduced price, and they can really cheat the people.
The two locked the door and walked out. It took them twenty minutes to reach the cinema.
From a distance, I could see a long queue outside. Everyone had their necks hunched and their hands in their pockets. Most of them were young comrades, and there were also adults with children.
Everyone was waiting at the ticket office, and it was a really lively scene.
Lin Xiaotong looked around. There were screening information and movie posters on the wall.
Oh, no, when I walked closer and took a closer look, I saw that the movie poster was painted on.
The movie they are going to watch today is the newly released "An Unforgettable Battle", with the show at 3:15 pm.
Because he had the tickets, Xie Yi held Lin Xiaotong's hand tightly and pushed through the crowd to walk inside.
After finally reaching the door, they were stopped by the ticket inspector, who only let them in after carefully checking their tickets.
There was no way around it, as some people were trying to take advantage of the situation by using discarded tickets, so we had to check carefully.
