"You didn't eat anything, did you? I ate it all by myself." Song Jinxiu touched her belly. "Oh, I feel like I'm full."
"No, I helped eat the chestnuts." The chestnuts made her stomach full, so I didn't dare let her finish them all.
"The movie just now was really good." Song Jinxiu said with lingering satisfaction.
"Come back tomorrow if it looks good." Liu Ankang said.
"Oh, yes, you have a day off tomorrow, I almost forgot. Come on, let's go eat something delicious." The two of them didn't take a car, but strolled next to the cinema.
Walk to help digest food, and buy something delicious when you see one.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were children shopping at the market.
While walking and shopping along the way, Song Jinxiu bought several sets of clothes.
I saw men's clothes being tried on by Liu Ankang.
People in Beijing are relatively tall, and most of the clothing they wear are adult men and women.
And nowadays people like to wear loose clothes.
So Liu Ankang also got a few sets of clothes.
It soon got dark and there was no entertainment in the evening, so the two prepared to go back.
"Let me take you somewhere." Liu Ankang said.
"Where else can we go at night?" Song Jinxiu asked a little puzzled.
Liu Ankang brought Song Jinxiu to the entrance of an alley, and soon someone came out.
"You look unfamiliar. Who are you looking for?" the man asked Liu Ankang.
Liu Ankang took Song Jinxiu's hand and said, "It's my first time here, looking for Xiaohua."
Then he handed the other party fifty cents, and the other party handed Liu Ankang two simple veils.
Made of cloth, it can cover most of the face, leaving only the eyes and mouth.
You certainly can’t prevent it from being spotted by familiar people, but strangers still won’t be able to recognize you.
"Xiaohua is inside, go ahead." The man let her go after receiving the money and hid in the darkness again.
"Why give him money?" Song Jinxiu asked in a low voice.
"Ticket money." Liu Ankang said.
"That's it?" Song Jinxiu said in disbelief.
Wandering around the alleys late at night?
The alleys are interconnected, but Liu Ankang turns here and there as if he knows the way.
Song Jinxiu had no idea what he was up to, so she had no choice but to follow him closely.
After walking for about ten minutes, Song Jinxiu heard some voices. Although the voices were not loud, they were still quite noisy.
After turning a corner, you can see a night market in front of you.
"Wow, how did you know there is such a place?" Song Jinxiu said in surprise.
Since the joint venture, she hasn't seen such small vendors, let alone so many of them.
Anyway, she had enough food and drink, so she didn't risk going to the black market.
"Is this a black market? It would affect you if you were caught. Let's go quickly." Song Jinxiu suddenly remembered that Liu Ankang was still a college student.
"Don't worry. Not only are the alleys here interconnected, but didn't you see the sentry at the door just now? Someone will notify us if anything happens." Liu Ankang comforted.
"I haven't been here before, so I brought you here to have a look." He heard this from his love-brained roommate.
Complaints about how expensive the prices here are. The entrance fee is fifty cents. You know, a pound of food only costs one or two cents now!
Although the items inside do not require tickets, the prices are not cheap.
"Then let's go shopping and then go out." Song Jinxiu said.
Such a lively environment is really rare, and Song Jinxiu was a little tempted. Since she was already here, she might as well not waste it.
The lights inside were dim and everyone was wearing a veil.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell who is who.
Song Jinxiu was like a fish into water, pulling Liu Ankang around in front of the various stalls.
There are still many wealthy people in Beijing, so Song Jinxiu's behavior is not at all abrupt.
After all, those who can come here are young couples in love.
This is the time when you are most willing to spend money.
In addition to food, there are also toys, such as ring tossing.
There are all kinds of cute little toys, hair flowers, etc. on it.
There are actually skin care products such as vanishing cream and clam oil at the back, which you can take away if you pick them up.
Further back were towels and even a thermos.
It seems that the merchants have invested a lot of money.
Sure enough, there were a lot of people trying to put the ring on.
Seeing so many people, Song Jinxiu didn't want to squeeze forward.
He and Liu Ankang came to another place with fewer people.
A big test of tacit understanding.
One person looks at the items written by the merchant and gestures with his hands, while the other person guesses.
Maybe everyone was rather reserved or the two sides didn't know each other well enough, so there were very few people at this stall.
The two looked at each other and thought, isn't this just perfect for them?
When the shop owner saw someone coming, he welcomed them warmly.
"You two look like a perfect couple, how about a test of your chemistry?
It only costs 50 cents per time. There are a total of 10 items to guess. If you guess 5 or more, you will get a reward.
Isn't it simple? Why don't you try it?" the man said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you can't guess it. Knowing their shortcomings will help us get along better when we go back.
We'll have plenty of time together in the future, so let's get to know each other in advance."
The shopkeeper was selling his products enthusiastically.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and did not refute the shop owner's words.
"What are the rewards?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"If you guess five correctly, you can choose any of these hair ties. If you guess six or seven correctly, you can choose any of these dolls. If you guess eight correctly, you will be rewarded with an enamel mug. If you guess nine correctly, you will be rewarded with two enamel mugs.
Ten, that would be amazing. If you can guess all ten, then you two are a match made in heaven.
It doesn’t matter whether there is a reward or not, right? We should still thank this game of mine.
Of course, there are rewards. See? These are couple crystal pendants, and each pair is unique.
Wearing it on your body not only looks good, but also has special meaning." The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced his prize.
When introducing the latter part, I deliberately turned up the volume, which attracted several couples to come and watch.
Song Jinxiu walked forward to examine the exquisite pendants, and looked at Liu Ankang with eyes full of desire.
"So what is your topic? Will it be difficult?" Song Jinxiu asked again.
"That's not possible. They are just some daily life items! Animals, actions and so on. Very simple." said the shopkeeper.
"Can I take a look first?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Then who among you will guess? The person who guesses cannot watch, but the person who gestures can show it to you." The shop owner said after a moment of hesitation.
"Let me show you, let me show you." Song Jinxiu raised her hand happily.
Liu Ankang looked at the other person lovingly.
Seeing that the two had reached a tacit understanding, the owner took Song Jinxiu to look at the questions.
I turned over two of them and showed them to Song Jinxiu. It was indeed very simple.
It’s just everyday animals and actions like little rabbits and eating.
Song Jinxiu was full of confidence and gave Liu Ankang a look that said, "Let's see how I perform."
