"You need to eat more." The young wife is still so thin.
He Beichen looked at her waist and shook his head silently.
I must feed her more meat later!
Li Xin looked at herself in the mirror. The clothes were indeed nice-looking, and the light yellow color made her look very fair. It was just a little too big.
"It's very nice, just a little too big. It will be wearable after a few alterations." The proprietress praised, wanting Li Xin to buy the dress. "There's a tailor shop up the street. Alterations are very cheap. If you want me to charge you less, I'll pay for the alterations!"
"Let me take another look." Li Xin felt it was troublesome and looked at the others.
When Li Xin looked at clothes, she mainly considered the price-performance ratio. After choosing for a long time, she finally picked out two sets of clothes that were in her size and looked good.
The clothes were not expensive, so Li Xin paid for them with the money He Beichen gave her and didn't plan to buy any more.
The two of them walked through the shops. Li Xin saw some clothes with ethnic characteristics. She liked them a little and couldn't help but take a few glances at them.
"If you like it, go buy it." He Beichen noticed her gaze and spoke out.
"No, two new sets of clothes are enough for me, and I have clothes to wear at home." Li Xin shook his head and didn't want to buy more. It would be enough to have enough clothes to wear.
Seeing He Beichen about to walk over, Li Xin suddenly grabbed him and planned to drag him away, but he failed to do so after dragging him for a long time.
He Beichen: “?”
He didn't even use any strength. His wife was so weak.
…
Passing by a men's clothing store, Li Xin's eyes wandered for a moment, and then he walked in with He Beichen. He chose a set of casual clothes that suited him and compared it with him.
He Beichen is tall, trains regularly, and has a good figure. Just standing there, he looks like a clothes rack, which makes Li Xin extremely satisfied.
"It looks good. Try it on and see if it fits you." Li Xin gestured.
He Beichen didn't think it was necessary to buy him one. He usually wore military uniform, so two sets of casual clothes would be enough.
But this was the first time that Li Xin chose clothes for him. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse and took the clothes to change.
When He Beichen came out after changing, Li Xin's eyes lit up. This suit really suited He Beichen, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Li Xin asked about the price, bargained with the proprietress, and bought the suit. He didn't ask He Beichen to take it off, and just let him leave wearing it.
Two people came out, and He Beichen was holding several bags in his hands.
"Let's walk for a while and then take the bus back there." He Beichen pointed in a direction.
He had originally gone to the city to buy clothes, and now that the clothes were ready, he was ready to take Li Xin home.
But Li Xin didn't want to go back. She felt that it was a rare opportunity for her to go out with He Beichen. Strictly speaking, this should be considered their first date. It would be a pity to end it so abruptly.
Li Xin looked around. This era was different from the later times. If one wanted to go on a date, there were many places to go, but there was nothing interesting to visit here.
"He Beichen, why don't we go see a movie before going back?" Li Xin suddenly said.
She saw a cinema on the side of the road. Hanging on the street was a sign typical of the era, which read "People's Cinema" in traditional Chinese characters.
Although he didn't know what good movies there were in this era, Li Xin was still very interested in it. He wanted to experience it and see what movie theaters in this era were like.
"Okay." He Beichen looked at her interested expression and nodded without hesitation.
Looking at the sign of the cinema, He Beichen had only seen open-air movies in the army and had never watched one in a cinema.
I think it should be about the same?
There is a small window where tickets are sold in the cinema. The wall next to the window is covered with small blackboards, which are covered with movie promotions drawn in chalk and some promotional slogans, which are equivalent to movie posters in later generations, but more distinctive than movie posters.
There are not many movies being shown in theaters. The film and television industry in this era is not as developed as in later generations, and most of the movies being shown are emotional.
"Is there anything you want to see?" Li Xin looked at the promotional materials and movie titles drawn in chalk, feeling a little confused.
There are no photos or trailers here.
Choosing a movie based on its title is really a blind guess.
"It depends on what you want to watch. I'm fine with it." He Beichen didn't choose. He didn't know what Li Xin liked to watch.
Li Xin studied it carefully for a while and finally chose a romance movie to watch.
Well, you should watch romance movies on a date!
She and He Beichen went to the small window to buy tickets and waited to go in, but Li Xin looked around and didn't see anyone selling popcorn and Coke. Her hands were empty, and she always felt like something was missing.
I don’t know when popcorn and cola were launched?
The cinemas of this era are still very different from those of later generations. The equipment is very simple in every aspect, and the cinema hall is not very big, probably because the screen is just that big.
Li Xin and He Beichen found a place to sit down together and watched the movie playing on the screen. The picture quality was average, and for Li Xin, who was used to watching high-definition movies, it always felt a little blurry.
However, the plot of the movie is not bad. Li Xin watched it with great interest. It is much better than the industrialized movies in later generations, and the love story in it is not the stereotyped industrial saccharin.
"He Beichen, let me tell you..." After reading it, Li Xin wanted to share and turned around to discuss it with He Beichen.
But before he could finish his words, he saw He Beichen falling asleep while sitting on the chair.
Li Xin: “…”
never mind!
She turned around and watched the movie silently. The plot was very good, and she was very engaged in watching it even without He Beichen.
However, He Beichen didn't wake up until the end of the movie. It was Li Xin who couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him awake.
"How was it? Did you sleep comfortably in the cinema?"
His tone was teasing, but he didn't seem very angry.
She decided that she would never go to the movies with He Beichen again!
Li Xin thought silently in his heart.
"..." He Beichen had just woken up and looked around, still a little dazed.
Is he, like, asleep?
Are romance movies so hypnotic?
"Let's go home." Li Xin stood up from the chair and extended his hand to He Beichen who was still sitting.
"Yeah." He reacted quickly and immediately took Li Xin's hand and walked out of the cinema with her.
After watching the movie, the two had a meal together in the city. He Beichen thought about it and took her to the vegetable market. He exchanged some meat with meat coupons and bought some vegetables and noodles before setting off to return home.
"What are you buying so much dough for?" Li Xin asked.
"The wontons and dumplings we made at home have all been eaten. I have some free time today, so I can make some." He Beichen replied.
“…”
But there are only two of them, so wouldn’t this be a bit too much?
