Chapter 85 Watching a Movie and Buying a Yard
After finishing her afternoon classes, Qiao Qinglu packed up her things in the dormitory, changed into a dark blue long-sleeved velvet dress, braided her hair into a pigtail, and loosened the roots of her hair a little. She looked intellectual and elegant, which attracted the admiration of her roommates.
Song Limei finished her afternoon classes and was now staring at Qiao Qinglu, examining her closely. "Boss, where did you buy this skirt? It's really beautiful, even better than the tattered skirt you wore last time."
Qiao Qinglu smiled and said, "I bought this skirt at the Friendship Department Store. Would you like to see it?"
"Hmm, that's really nice to look at."
Aina also looked over with interest. "Boss, your hair looks really nice with this braid. It looks so elegant with this skirt."
"Thank you for your appreciation. It seems we have similar taste in clothes."
Zhang Qiuqiu also came over, touched Qiao Qinglu's hair, and looked at her clothes, with envy in her eyes, but she didn't say anything to spoil the fun.
Wang Feiyan looked at her shriveled figure and touched her withered hair, and couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, you look like a dazzling rose among a bush of flowers when you're dressed like this. I'm just the withered grass next to you, not even worthy of being a green leaf."
After hearing this, Qiao Qinglu patted her head and said, "Silly girl, in this world, some people like delicate roses, some like noble peonies, some like fragrant lilies, some like elegant orchids, and some like fresh daisies. You are irreplaceable, and you must believe that you are the best. I once saw a saying that I would like to share with everyone: 'If flowers bloom, butterflies will come. If you are wonderful, heaven will arrange everything for you.'"
After hearing this, the roommates were all thoughtful. Wang Feiyan nodded excitedly, "Boss, this is true. I will continue to work hard and wait for the success."
Zhang Qiuqiu turned her back and whispered, "If you are wonderful, will heaven arrange it for you?"
"Knock, knock, knock," there was a knock on the door. Wang Feiyan walked over and opened it. A stranger girl was standing at the door. "Who is Qiao Qinglu? Someone is looking for you downstairs."
After thanking the girl, Qiao Qinglu said goodbye to her roommate and rushed downstairs. The person leaning against a bicycle under a tree at the gate was Xiao Qinyun.
It was still early, so the two chatted and laughed, rode their bikes around the neighborhood, and had dinner at a nearby state-owned restaurant before returning to school.
Actually, these two people seldom go to the movies, mainly because most of the movies shown in theaters now are red movies, which they are not very interested in. So this time, watching a movie together at school was a good experience.
The movie was shown in a large lecture hall, and most of the audience were students from the Spanish Department. After all, nowadays, movies with original English soundtracks basically have no subtitles or dubbing, and the long sections of English dialogue were a bit difficult to understand.
Everyone sat quietly in the classroom, waiting for the movie to start.
The movie being played today is "Hamlet", a film adapted from Shakespeare's work. It is a black-and-white film that has won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Actor. It is a very classic old movie.
The film retains a large number of Shakespearean poetic dialogues, the most impressive of which is Hamlet's soliloquy.
To be, or not to be- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.
At the end of the film, both the evil people who deserved to die and the good people who didn't deserve to die, died.
At the instigation of the king, Laertes dueled with Hamlet. Both of their weapons were coated with poison, and both were stabbed.
Laertes achieved his revenge, killed himself with conspiracy, betrayed the king before dying, and begged for Hamlet's forgiveness.
After remarrying the king, the queen drank poison and died.
Before his death, Hamlet finally killed his murderer, the instigator of all this - his uncle, the current king, and achieved revenge.
