When they arrived in town, they said goodbye and went their separate ways.
After the reform and opening up, private transactions were allowed. In addition to state-owned shopping malls, there were also some small shops or agricultural product stalls. Today happened to be a market day, so it was a bustling time with many people.
"Want to go to the movies first?"
"Well, after the movie, we'll find a house to rent, have lunch and walk around, and then it'll be time to go back."
"Let's go, the cinema is over here." Shen Buci put his hand beside her to prevent passers-by from bumping into her.
After walking around a few streets and seeing fewer people, they entered the cinema and walked towards the ticket office.
"What movie is playing today?" Shen Buci asked the ticket seller.
"Love at Lushan, the first kiss on the Chinese screen, is perfect for watching with your significant other. Two tickets, right?" The ticket seller looked up at them and said, "You two are both pretty, would you like a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda?"
"Yes, two tickets." Shen Buci lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Would you like some soda?"
"Drink it." Shi Qingruo glanced at the ticket seller, who was looking at them with encouraging eyes.
"How about some popcorn?"
"I won't eat this."
"Okay, two tickets and two bottles of soda?"
"Um."
"The price list is next to it, please take a look." The conductor took the ticket off and stamped it. "Sixth row, sixth column, and seventh column."
Shen Buci gave the money, he took the soda, and Shi Qingruo entered with the ticket.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Shen Buci opened the soda and handed it to her, "It tastes okay, have you had it before?"
"I have." Shi Qingruo put the ticket into her bag and took the soda. "Where are we going to rent a house later?"
"It's on the west side of town. When my parents came here last year, they rented a house there. I know several of the owners there, so it should be easy to negotiate."
People came in one after another in groups of two or three to watch the movie. After waiting for about ten minutes, the movie started and the lights in the theater went out.
Shen Buci quietly hooked her fingers and held them in his palm. Shi Qingruo glanced at him, then turned her head and continued to watch the movie attentively.
When the heroine kissed the hero on the face, the audience exclaimed at the bold act.
The movie lasted a total of ninety minutes and it was half past eleven when we finished watching it.
Shen Buci took Shi Qingruo to rent two houses with courtyards for two days. After receiving the keys, he took her out for dinner.
"A state-owned restaurant or a private one?"
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant. What do you want to eat?"
"I can do anything."
"I don't know what to eat." Shi Qingruo put her hands in the pockets on both sides of her skirt and looked at him.
She developed this action when observing airplanes. It is less tiring to put her hands in her pockets than to stand there with her hands hanging down.
"Okay then, I'll order. Just let me know if I order something you don't like." Shen Buci thought about what she usually ordered in the cafeteria. It turned out that every time she wasn't thinking about work, she had a distressed expression because she didn't know what to eat.
After lunch, Shen Buci took her to the department store, “Comrade Shi Qingruo, I want to buy you clothes.”
"Okay, I'll buy it for you too." She nodded.
"Any snacks you want? Cookies, candies, or something like that."
"Just buy what you like. You can buy some fruit, too."
Shen Buci took her around the mall and bought whatever she thought she could use, "Buy two bottles of hand cream and facial oil. It's very dry here all year round. Just apply it when you remember."
He didn't expect her to be able to wipe it every day. Most of the time, she thought about planes when she opened her eyes. But he could help her wipe it when they got married.
