Chapter 87 Comrade Soldier, I'll Teach You a Good
Teach On the day off, Lu Weiguo took Shi Tingyu to the Xinhua Bookstore in the city.
The Xinhua Bookstore in Jinling is not small. It is a small two-story building. There is a sign with the four characters "Xinhua Bookstore" on the first floor, and a big red five-pointed star on the outer wall of the second floor.
When the two walked in, the breathing of the people around them lightened up a lot.
This combination of beauty and murderer is really amazing.
Lu Weiguo has become accustomed to such sight.
Shi Tingyu looked at his expressionless face and tugged at his sleeve.
Lu Weiguo turned around and she gave him a sweet smile.
The corners of Lu Weiguo's lips curled up slightly. It doesn't matter what others think of him, as long as his wife doesn't dislike him.
Inside the Xinhua Bookstore, there are rows of trapezoidal glass counters, and on the wall behind the glass counters are rows of tall wooden bookcases.
The glass counters are filled with various books, and the wooden bookcases behind them are also filled with books.
In addition to books, there are many New Year pictures hanging on the walls.
Most of them are portraits of great men.
Lu Weiguo saw "The Loyal Dog" in the trapezoidal glass counter. Its color matching is harmonious and gorgeous, and it looks better than some of the comic books next to it.
"Comrade, I want a copy of this." Lu Weiguo called the salesperson and pointed to the comic strips in the counter.
The salesman took a look at the man's military uniform and then took out "The Loyal Dog".
"This is the latest one, 50 cents a copy."
Lu Weiguo paid for it happily.
Shi Tingyu glanced at him and wanted to say that there was no need to buy it, as we already had it at home, but when he saw the man holding the book, he stopped talking.
Lu Weiguo flipped through the book in his hand, and it was the same as what he saw at home.
Putting the book in his arms, Lu Weiguo asked, "Comrade, is this new book selling well?"
The salesperson couldn't help rolling his eyes, "This is the latest comic book published by a publishing house in Beijing. Have you seen the counter next to me? It has been sold out long ago."
Lu Weiguo looked at the counter next to him, and sure enough, there was an empty space on the counter where "The Loyal Dog" was placed.
The salesperson was afraid that they would not believe him, so he continued, "I can't lie to you about this. There are not many copies of this book printed. By the time it reaches our store, there won't be many left. If you come a day later, it might be gone."
"Besides, both children and adults like it. You won't lose money if you buy it back. You can show it to your children after you finish reading it."
Lu Weiguo replied for some unknown reason, "We just got married and don't have any children yet."
The salesperson looked as if he had realized it, "No wonder."
He looks too fierce. Even a soldier wouldn't find it easy to find a partner. His age would make things difficult.
I just don't know how such a pretty woman likes him.
After they had found out what they needed to find out, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo went back.
After leaving the Xinhua Bookstore, Shi Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was relieved by the good sales of the picture book.
Although she had already received the money, she still hoped for more prints.
"Let's go back." Shi Tingyu said.
Lu Weiguo said, "It's not easy to come to the city, how about we go to the movies?"
The movies in the past two years are not only the eight model operas, but also some North Korean movies.
When the new movies were first released, you have to queue for a long time to buy tickets.
Shi Tingyu had never seen a movie theater of that time, so she agreed.
Lu Weiguo was delighted.
He and Shi Tingyu met and got married after being introduced by someone. At the beginning, they were in a hurry and there was no dating process at all.
He was also busy on weekdays, and always felt that he owed her.
This time he also wanted to take her to experience what other people would do when they are dating.
There are many people watching movies at night, so it's okay at this time.
The two bought tickets at the ticket office, two green movie tickets about the size of stamps, one dime each.
The movie was a North Korean movie called "The Flower Girl".
Lu Weiguo also bought Shi Tingyu a bag of roasted melon seeds and a bottle of soda.
It was also the first time for Shi Tingyu to eat this kind of paper-wrapped melon seeds, and the experience was quite novel.
Today's movie theaters cannot be compared with those in later generations, but in this era, they also have a unique flavor.
Not long after watching, I saw some half-grown children next to them, hunched over and hiding.
Seeing her puzzled, Lu Weiguo explained in her ear: "Many of these kids took old movie tickets and sneaked in when the ticket checking was busy. Someone should be checking the tickets now."
It was the first time that Shi Tingyu knew about this operation.
Sure enough, the ticket checker came to the two of them after a while, looked at the tickets and walked away.
Shi Tingyu was eating melon seeds, and Lu Weiguo held the paper bag for her, and even spread her handkerchief on his legs to put the melon seed shells for his wife.
When the movie showed the scene where the sister was blinded by the landlord's wife with medicine residue, bursts of sobbing sounded in the theater.
Shi Tingyu was watching and crying silently.
Lu Weiguo was better. He had seen a lot of death on the battlefield and could still hold back such a plot. But looking at Shi Tingyu's tear-stained face, he secretly regretted it.
I should have watched a different movie earlier.
He raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face, but his fingertips were covered with thick scars from years of firearms training, and they scratched Shi Tingyu's fair face, causing some pain.
Lu Weiguo didn't know what to do for a moment, and suddenly saw the soda in his hand, and passed the soda to her mouth, "Drink soda." Shi Tingyu
was still in a good mood, but his words "drink soda" ruined the mood.
But she didn't think too much about it.
Lu Weiguo's performance was already very good, which was much better than the later generations where women were moved to tears while watching TV dramas, while men said it was all fake.
Seeing that his wife finally stopped crying, Lu Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was too happy too early. Not long after, when the tear-jerking scene came, Shi Tingyu's tears flowed out again.
Finally, he looked around, put his hand on her head, leaned on his shoulder, and said something that made Shi Tingyu very angry.
Lu Weiguo said: "This movie is made by people, it's fake."
Shi Tingyu got up from his shoulder at that time and sat upright in her seat.
Lu Weiguo looked at his empty arms and didn't know what was wrong.
A worker comrade at the back couldn't stand it anymore. He patted Lu Weiguo on the shoulder and said: "Comrade soldier, let me teach you a lesson. When a female comrade watches a movie, you can pass her a handkerchief, but you can't say that the movie is fake."
Lu Weiguo turned around and wanted to ask why.
The man in the work clothes of a machinery factory met his fierce eyes, leaned back immediately, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lu Weiguo: ...
He turned back silently, forget it. He
had to use his hand to catch the melon seed shells, and when Shi Tingyu cried again, he offered his hand.
As for the military uniform on his body, it was not appropriate to use it to wipe his wife's tears.
Shi Tingyu seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and leaned back on his shoulder again.
Lu Weiguo turned around in surprise, wanting to ask the worker brother in the back if he had any tricks, he felt that his tricks were useful.
But he didn't expect that the seat in the back was empty.
Lu Weiguo: ...
