Sangzhi's gaze moved along the bony hands to the man's muscular arms, and finally to his calm and handsome face.
She stared at him again and again, as if trying to see through that familiar face and see into his heart.
It would be so rare to be invited to the movies by him one day.
Jiang Yan didn't wait for a response, and felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her.
Touch your nose and find the shield.
"Don't we still have to take Sang Bei and the others to the movies?
I heard this movie is good, so let's go see it and save us from wasting time picking them up."
That's the truth, but in her impression, he should be a workaholic.
Even when resting, he should be in the army watching over people training and so on.
Watching movies and the like doesn't really fit his personality.
But now the two children were intrigued, they dressed early and waited at the door, urging her all the time.
Sangzhi walked out of the door in a daze.
In the 1970s, spiritual life was as scarce as material life, and watching movies became one of the few entertainment options.
Watching movies in the countryside depends entirely on projectionists carrying the films on their shoulders and showing them outdoors, which is free.
It's impossible to live in the city without spending money.
The movie they were going to watch was in the largest cinema in Pingcheng, called the Red Star Cinema.
Located on the Dongfanghong Square in the city center.
There are not only cinemas, workers' cultural palaces and department stores there.
There is also a public theater where you can watch Yue Opera Troupe, Comedy Troupe and Henan Opera Troupe.
As soon as they arrived at the square, they saw three cement movie promotion walls standing in the southwest corner.
The tall ones are in the middle, and the horizontal ones are on both sides. It can be said that this place is an important base for film publicity and promotion.
Next to the propaganda wall, there is a row of propaganda windows connected to the newspaper rack.
It not only contains current affairs news, but also commendations for the cinema's outstanding employees in the past month.
Of course, the promotional newspaper of "Movie Window" occupies the largest space.
The two children leaned over and looked carefully at it with the help of the street lights in the square.
They are not very literate and cannot understand the cinema's screening schedule.
But I saw the promotional poster of Qingsongling at first glance.
It is indeed a popular movie, occupying most of the space.
Not to mention this, Sang Bei looked around, and Sang Zhi was not much better than him. She was just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around non-stop.
They had tickets and didn't need to buy them. Just before they were about to enter the cinema, Jiang Yan suddenly asked them to wait at the ticket window.
There was still some time before the movie started, and the three of them had no objection.
The ticket window is small and you can’t see the ticket seller’s face, but when someone buys a ticket, you can see the hand handing over the ticket.
There are small movie tickets, some are red and some are green.
The prices are naturally different. Student tickets are 7 cents, and wide-screen tickets are 12 cents.
Adult tickets are around 15 cents.
Jiang Yan was late, and someone came to sell them movie tickets for the Eight Model Operas.
The price is fifty cents, not very expensive.
But Sangzhi thought of the model operas she had seen on TV.
Full of emotions, high morale, and quotes from great men that pop up from time to time.
For someone like her who is not very aware, it is a bit tiring.
After politely declining the other party's kindness, he took the two children and walked inside.
After waiting for more than ten minutes and welcoming and seeing off several groups of people, Jiang Yan still didn't show up.
Sangzhi now began to suspect that he had suddenly regretted it and didn't want to watch it anymore, so he wanted to stand her up.
Fortunately, he came back with the things before his patience ran out.
The alleys around the cinema are much busier, with people secretly selling triangular-wrapped melon seeds, sugar-roasted chestnuts, and five-spice peanuts.
Nowadays, you can not only smoke but also eat melon seeds in movie theaters, although the environment is bad.
But for people whose cultural life is extremely poor, the enjoyment of watching movies, this spiritual feast, can completely ignore the environment.
"Wow, soda!"
Wei Lingdong took what he handed over and was amazed.
When the two children went upstairs first, Jiang Yan called Sang Zhi.
He pulled out an aluminum box from his pocket.
"There's a state-owned restaurant on the next street. The chef is from Ningbo, and they sell a limited number of jar-shaped duck dogs every Friday.
I grabbed one last one before closing time."
In fact, when he got there, the business was no longer open to the public, but Jiang Yan had already handled a case there.
He had rescued the master chef before, and when the other party saw him coming and learned his purpose, he made a portion for him.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted so much time.
"I didn't buy much. Don't let the two kids see you. Go eat in the corner. I'll block them for you."
The word "Gan Ya Gou" sounds strange, but it actually means glutinous rice balls.
Sangzhi opened the box and saw a red mark inside the crystal oil bag, and her saliva began to flow uncontrollably.
Seeing how understanding he was, Sangzhi felt much better.
Afraid that the two children would find out, Sangzhi scooped one up.
The filling of the crystal buns contains walnut kernels, melon seeds, sesame seeds, red and green silk, and osmanthus candy.
The ingredients are sufficient and the proportions are well-controlled.
No wonder they only serve it once a week and the quantity is limited, it tastes really good.
Every bite is filled with sweetness.
Sangzhi's big eyes narrowed with happiness.
However, although it tasted good, things made with glutinous rice were difficult to digest and were indeed sweet, so she only ate four out of eight.
Jiang Yan didn't mind that they were her leftovers, and bought all the remaining four.
No matter how hard we tried, the two kids upstairs still became suspicious.
But the movie was about to start, so they didn't care.
………
The cinema was rather dim, and several people bent down to find a seat.
At this moment, not far from them.
