When Li Xin and Xia Xiaona came out after eating, it was already dark. Xia Xiaona asked, "Where is the drive-in movie theater you are talking about, and what time does the movie start?"

"It's right in front of the lake, and it should be just right now. After speaking, Li Xin took Xia Xiaona along the lakeside dam to the parking lot.

Although the wind was biting, there were still many people walking on the dam. This is a scenic area, and when the weather is warm, more people come here to watch the scenery and walk.

Xia Xiaona looked at the lights of the lake and the faintly visible lake and mountains at night and said, "Actually, it's not bad for us to walk here, I like to hear you tell your old stories." ”

Li Xin said: "The cold wind blowing on this dam will freeze you in less than half an hour, and you will not be interested in walking and chatting at that time." We have the advantage of going to the drive-in theater to watch a movie, the box is our own, you want to chat and sing in the box, you have no problem, you will not interfere with others watching movies, and you will not be disturbed by others. There's no problem listening to whatever you want, and there's air conditioning on the go, so it's warm inside the car even if there's snowflakes outside. ”

Xia Xiaona heard this and immediately dragged Li Xin forward: "Then don't you leave quickly?"

The two drove to the door of the drive-in theater, Xia Xiaona saw a picture on the high white wall from a distance, and said, "Is it there?" It seems that the show has already started, I will tell you to hurry up You still haven't listened, now it's okay, watch half of the movie!"

Li Xin said while buying tickets: "Don't worry, this is a loop screening, and you can see what you missed." These two movies aren't bad tonight. After speaking, he handed the ticket in his hand to Xia Xiaona, and then drove into the theater and found a place to stop.

Xia Xiaona looked around: "There are so many cars, there are really a lot of people who come to watch the movie." ”

"Do you want snacks, drinks, or anything? Li Xin adjusted the stereo in the car, and the silent picture on the screen outside immediately became vivid.

Xia Xiaona said in surprise: "I said why is there no sound in this movie, it turns out that it depends on the stereo in the car." ”

Li Xin smiled: "Otherwise? Do you think it really relies on the theater's own sound system like an open-air movie? In that case, everyone has to open the car window to hear the sound of the movie, and it is definitely impossible to watch a movie without being wrapped in a military coat on such a cold day." ”

"That's right, whose idea is this, it's really good, no wonder so many people like to come here to watch movies. Xia Xiaona lowered the back of her seat as she spoke, and half-reclined comfortably to watch a movie.

"You haven't said what you want to eat?" Li Xin asked.

"You don't have to buy snacks, you just need two bottles of mineral water. ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll be right back. After Li Xin finished speaking, he opened the car door and went out.

A few minutes later, Li Xin came in with two bottles of mineral water and a large bag of popcorn.

"Didn't you say you don't eat snacks? You also buy popcorn. ”

Li Xin smiled: "Originally, I didn't want to buy it, but as soon as the little girl who sold things in the store saw me, she asked if she wanted popcorn. But then again, this thing smells so good. ”

Xia Xiaona grabbed a popcorn and threw it in her mouth while eating, and said, "Let's watch a movie, this movie is quite interesting." ”

Li Xin said: "I started the car and turned on the air conditioner, if it wasn't too cold to sit. ”

"Doesn't it mean that you can't turn on the air conditioner when the car is parked? ”

"That means that indoors, in a confined space, you can't park your car and turn on the air conditioner, because it's easy to get poisoned. But now we are in the open square, the wind by the lake is strong, and the exhaust fumes from the exhaust pipe have been blown away, so we should be fine. After a while, I turned off the air conditioner when the temperature rose, and the window behind me was not closed tightly, and there were two slits exposed for ventilation. ”

"Don't say it, it's really a bit like watching an open-air movie in school, but the standard at that time was to eat melon seeds. ”

"Like us, we watch open-air movies and eat melon seeds. Eh, no, your school is in the north, can you stand watching open-air movies in winter? It's so cold. ”

"In the summer, there are open-air movies, and in the winter, they go to the school auditorium. ”

"I'll just say it. Our school is fine, it's not too cold in winter, it's enough to watch open-air movies and wear a military coat. ”

The two chatted while watching a movie. After watching the first movie, Xia Xiaona said: "The movie just now is very touching, you see that the children in the play cry heartbreakingly after losing their beloved gifts, so pitiful!"

Li Xin said: "Maybe he treats that thing as a pet, child, maybe in his eyes, only that thing really belongs to him." ”

"You have a point. You know what? When I was little, my mother gave me a little rag doll, and among all my toys, my favorite was this little rag doll, and I had to hold it everywhere I went every day, and I had to cuddle this little doll when I went to bed at night. It wasn't until junior high school that I slowly got rid of this habit. When I grew up, I often heard my mother tell me that when I was a child, they took me out to play, and I could forget anything, but this little rag doll must not be forgotten, otherwise I would have been crying and refusing to sleep without this little rag doll at night. ”

Li Xin smiled: "Is there such a thing? Are you psychologically dependent on it?"

"Probably, I've heard a lot of kids do this when they're young. Did you have any favorite things when you were a kid?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "What do you particularly like?" I heard my mother say that when I was a child when I was bathing in the basin, I grabbed the yellow rubber duckling floating in the water and didn't let it go, and I liked to take it to my mouth and bite it, and bit off the duckling's mouth, does this count?"

Xia Xiaona smiled: "You can't count this, you have to rely on it." But it seems that you have a bad habit of biting since you were a child, which is not good. ”

At this time, Li Xin suddenly said: "I remembered, when I was a child, there was something that suddenly disappeared, which made me very sad." Guess what?"

"What is it?"

"Is it a little rooster?"

"Is it a toy?"

"No, it's alive, I raised it from a young age. ”

"Treating chickens as pets? That's rare. ”

"It's either a pet, or the kind of chick that the family buys and raises, fluffy, not much bigger than an egg at first. You've probably seen this chick. ”

"I've seen it, but I've never raised it. ”

"Speaking of this chick, I used to make a big joke when I was a kid, and I'm embarrassed to think about it now. ”

"What's going on? ”

"At that time, my family bought five chicks to raise, but in the end, only two survived, and one of them was this little rooster. This breed of chicken is very special, it is much smaller than the average chicken, and even if it grows mature, it is not much bigger than a pigeon. ”

"And this chicken?"

"Yes, there are fewer now, but I really saw it when I was a child. This little rooster is very beautiful, I heard my mother say, I liked this little rooster very much at that time, and I had to keep a little bit to feed it if I had anything to eat, probably to keep it as a pet. ”

"You're nothing, just feed it normally, and you haven't gotten to the point where you have to lead it to sleep, and you can't see it. ”

"Yes, it looks like that on the surface, but it wasn't until something happened that I and my family knew how much this little meant to me. ”

"What's the matter?"

Li Xin said: "At that time, I and the children in the neighborhood next door liked to catch sparrows the most. Our tools for catching sparrows are very simple, just two bricks and a few small sticks. One brick lay flat, and the other was next to the front, and the brick was supported by several thin wooden sticks. In this way, a gap is created between the two bricks, and some grains of rice are sprinkled near and in the gaps between the two bricks, and the sparrows on the tree will fly down and eat the grains of rice when they see them on the ground. When the sparrow eats the grains of rice on the ground and on the bricks, it will find that there are also grains of rice in the gaps between the two bricks. To eat the grain of rice between the two bricks, it has to jump onto the thin wooden stick that supports the brick. These sticks are so clever that they collapse when the sparrow's foot is stepped on, and then the bricks supported by the sticks fall down, crushing the sparrow underneath. ”

"And what does this have to do with your little?"

"Here's the problem, the mechanism we used to catch sparrows was set up next to my kitchen, and after my friend and I set it up, we forgot about it. When they came back from school in the afternoon, they suddenly remembered that the mechanism was set up there and didn't know if it had succeeded, so they hurried to the kitchen of my house to see if the mechanism had caught any sparrows. When we ran over, we saw in the distance that the brick supported by the wooden stick had fallen down, and there seemed to be something pressing down underneath, and a few feathers peeking out between the two bricks. This made us so happy that we thought we must have caught a sparrow down there. When we happily ran over to lift the bricks and looked at them, I burst into tears. It wasn't a sparrow pressed under the brick, but my little, which had grown to half size, had been crushed to death. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Xia Xiaona felt incredulous.

Li Xin said: "I don't believe that this kind of thing will happen, the child was simple-minded at that time, and he didn't expect that the chickens he raised would also eat the rice grains in the organ." Otherwise, we're going to set up this sparrow trap somewhere else. ”

"What happens then?" Xia Xiaona asked.

When I cried, the little friend next to me was frightened and hurried home. The adults of the two families heard me crying outside the kitchen and quickly ran out to ask what was going on. After I told the story with a handful of snot and tears, the two adults couldn't cry or laugh. Say it's your own doing, no wonder anyone else. ”
