Chapter 119 Sneaky
After checking their tickets, the two walked in through the door and found that there were a lot of people sitting inside and it was a mess.
This cinema is a two-story building with an arc-shaped semi-hall on the second floor. There are eye-catching red quotes painted on the white wall at the back of the first floor, and small doors on both sides for ticket checking.
"We're in the middle of the sixth row, right there."
Xie Yi took a look at the movie ticket and pulled Lin Xiaotong to sit at the designated seat.
"good."
As the lights dimmed, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down.
Occasionally, some people arrive late and make inappropriate noises when looking for a seat, and they will be greeted "kindly" by others.
Suddenly plunged into darkness, Lin Xiaotong grabbed Xie Yi's hand in fear, and Xie Yi immediately held Lin Xiaotong's hand back.
The film started and everyone was watching attentively.
Everyone watched the 112-minute movie carefully. They were very happy when they entered the theater, but their eyes were red when they left.
It was already past five o'clock when the show ended, and many people hurried home after watching it.
Lin Xiaotong took the handkerchief she took out of Xie Yi's pocket and kept wiping her tears. Woo woo woo, it was so touching.
"Okay, just take it easy. Don't be in a hurry. If you cry any more, your eyes will get swollen."
Xie Yi looked at Lin Xiaotong, whose eyes were almost swollen like walnuts, and comforted her, quickly changing the subject.
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. What would you like to eat tonight?"
When she talked about this, Lin Xiaotong stopped crying.
"I want to eat big meat buns, mutton soup, and sesame cakes."
"Then we have to hurry up, otherwise there will be too many people at dinner time and there won't be any food left."
"Then let's go quickly. I'm hungry. Let's buy some popcorn next time we go to the movies. There were so many people lining up at the door today that I couldn't even squeeze in."
"Okay, next time we'll bring some of Mom's fried pumpkin seeds so we can snack on them while we're waiting in line."
The two walked side by side towards the state-owned hotel. The snow on the ground had not melted yet, and it made a crunching sound when they stepped on it.
Lin Xiaotong kept playing in the snow, and her mood calmed down again. She looked around and suddenly seemed to see a familiar figure at the corner in front.
"Look, isn't that Wu Shengli?"
Xie Yi's sleeve was pulled, and the two of them tilted their heads to look forward. Wu Shengli and another person were pulling and tugging, and it was unclear what they were talking about.
Before they could see what the person next to them looked like, the two people who were pulling each other quickly walked into the alley and disappeared.
“It doesn’t feel like a good thing.”
Lin Xiaotong was still thinking in her little head. She always had a premonition that something was going to happen in the yard that had been dormant for a long time.
After all, ever since the troublemaker of the Jia family left, the compound has been peaceful and quiet.
"I heard that Sister Chunyan didn't come back for the New Year this year?"
Xie Yi thought of this.
"Yes, I heard from Mom that the Wu family in the west room had a quarrel over this matter on New Year's Eve."
When it comes to this, Lin Xiaotong has the right to speak. She had eaten this melon a long time ago and said to Xie Yi with her head held high.
Xie Yi said as he walked: "Did you hear it from mom?"
Lin Xiaotong didn't keep it a secret anymore and came over to whisper, "No, you'd never guess that. It was Wu Jiabao and Hu Tou who said that. I heard it."
Xie Yi laughed out loud.
…
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the state-owned hotel.
Most people have come to eat at this time. Some people like to go out to eat during the Chinese New Year.
The two of them were lucky enough to find an empty table at the back. Lin Xiaotong sat down and reserved a seat while Xie Yi went to order the food.
Xie Yi finally got his turn: "Comrade, I want two bowls of mutton soup, four sesame cakes, and six meat buns."
"There are only four meat buns left."
"Okay, give me four then."
"Have your tickets. Remember to pick them up when you get there."
The ticket seller neatly collected the money and tickets, wrote out a receipt, handed it to Xie Yi, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Come on, next one."
"What are you doing in the back? Are you going to eat or not? If not, get out of here. Don't just sit there and not order food."
"I'm talking about you. What are you looking at? Line up one by one!"
People who work in state-owned restaurants don't deserve to be bullied.
Xie Yi sat back and waited with Lin Xiaotong for their number to be called.
"There are so many people here today. I wonder if my parents have gone home from dinner yet?"
Lin Xiaotong held her chin with both hands and looked out the window.
"I guess they've already eaten and are back home by now. I bet my parents must have gone to that restaurant down south to eat noodles with soybean paste!"
"How do you know?"
"Because he took me with him a few years ago."
Xie Yi's aggrieved expression, as if to say "How can an adult be so heartless?", made Lin Xiaotong burst out laughing.
"Number 7, number 7, the food is here!"
After waiting for a while, I heard the eldest sister's voice shouting at the top of her lungs.
Xie Yi rushed over to serve the dishes as if his butt was on fire. He stretched out his long hands and the dishes were served on the table.
Freshly made ones are different. The mutton offal soup is steaming hot and sprinkled with a few slices of coriander.
"Eat it while it's hot. There are only four meat buns left. I'll bring them back for my parents next time."
Xie Yi knew that every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, his father would take his mother to the front yard to eat noodles with soybean paste and meat buns, so he didn't need to bring buns today.
"Uh-huh."
Lin Xiaotong blew on the mutton offal soup first, then slowly drank a few mouthfuls. The soup was so delicious that it made her eyebrows drop.
After a few sips of hot soup and a bite of a big, fragrant and soft meat bun, I instantly felt that my life was satisfied.
It’s really nice.
After eating a big meat bun, have a sesame seed bun. This sesame seed bun has no stuffing and is baked with puff pastry. The puff pastry is made of puff pastry. Break it open and put it into the soup. After it is softened, it tastes delicious when it is soaked in the soup.
Lin Xiaotong ate one and a half of the four baked buns, one big meat bun, and finished the mutton soup. She gave the rest to Xie Yi alone.
It was already half past six when they finished their meal and it was getting late. The two of them walked slowly back home. They were too full, so they thought of walking back as a walk to help digest the food.
Today is another happy day.
…
When Xie Da Jiao and Gao Xiu Lan returned home from a walk in the evening, they were already washing their feet. When they saw the two of them coming back holding hands, they smiled.
Gao Xiulan asked, "What delicious food did you eat today?"
"We had mutton offal soup today. It was delicious. Let's go try it together as a family next time..."
When Lin Xiaotong talked about food, she came closer and spoke to Gao Xiulan with great excitement.
Gao Xiulan also shared: "Your dad and I also went to eat noodles with soybean paste. The one on Chaoyang Street tastes authentic. I've been going there since I got married..."
Xie Da Jiao and Xie Yi shook their heads and smiled at each other.
It is true that "if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door."
…
I couldn't help but do two more sets of exercises in the evening and sweated all over.
Someone helped her wipe it clean with a wet towel, and finally Lin Xiaotong couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
