Chapter 191: Lily's Soul
San Francisco, which is also part of California like Los Angeles, has the Golden Gate Bridge, which has been destroyed countless times in later movies, and also has the largest Chinatown in the western United States.
This huge Chinatown is home to a large number of Chinese people, who have taken root and thrived here.
The first Chinese can be traced back to the beginning of the American Gold Rush.
Of course, this is not what we are talking about today.
Located in the heart of the Chinatown district, on Tupan Street, there is a Wu Department Store covering an area of more than 300 square meters, which offers a wide variety of goods imported from China and Southeast Asia.
Because of its wide variety, the store is very popular among the Chinese.
Business is booming, customers are endless, and as a third-generation immigrant shopkeeper, Wu Jincheng, is tired and happy all the way.
The annual Christmas is coming the day after tomorrow, and although Chinese people rarely celebrate this holiday before, many factories and schools are closed.
Therefore, many people in Chinatown also joined in the fun.
Time passed, and slowly it was past nine o'clock in the morning, but the number of people in the department store did not decrease.
At first glance, there is more.
Even with a temperature of only about ten degrees, Wu Jincheng was so busy that he was sweating.
Moving a bag of dried seafood out of the warehouse, Wu Jincheng slapped the sweat from his forehead, pulled the clothes on his chest and slapped him twice, and asked his wife who was counting next to him, "Where is Ah Han?"
"What do you want to do?" The wife seemed to know what Wu Jincheng had in mind, rolled her eyes and said, "My daughter is already very tired from studying, so let her sleep more during the holidays." ”
"What is a girl doing with so much learning! You might as well learn from me how to manage a store. ”
"As far as you can say. ”
"I can say what's wrong, at least I'm right. Wu Jincheng took out the seafood in the bag and smelled it, and when he saw that the taste was still right, he stacked it on the shelf: "Learn so much, when the time comes, you will learn the same as her aunt, let's just hold our heads and cry." ”
"Bah, what nonsense!"
Just as the two of them were arguing, a double ponytail plaid shirt popped up in front of the store, looking at a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The girl's eyes hesitated and walked around the store, and when she saw Wu Jincheng and his wife, she suddenly lit up, and walked over with slow steps.
"Hello uncle and aunt, isn't Xiuhan here?" the girl asked obediently in front of the two of them.
"Ah, it's Ziyun, Ah Han is still sleeping upstairs, you can go up by yourself if you look for her." ”
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. ”
"That's good. ”
The girl smiled shyly and slowly retreated, until she couldn't see Wu Jincheng and his wife, then her face immediately changed, and she ran up towards the corridor next to her.
All the way 'knock knock'......
The girl went straight to the fourth floor of the top floor, and suddenly quieted down again, tidied up the clothes on her body, and knocked on the door very ladylikely.
In a moment, the door opened, revealing an old face.
"Hello grandma, I'm looking for Xiuhan. ”
"Oh good. The old grandmother stepped aside and whispered, "Come in, Xiuhan is still in the room." ”
"Thank you, grandma, I'll go find her. ”
The girl quietly walked to the door, quietly twisted the door open, and looked at a small single bed, the blue quilt slightly bulging into a human shape.
Between breaths, you can still see the quilt rising and falling slightly.
The girl smiled proudly, quietly walked to the side of the bed on tiptoes, grinned and put her somewhat cold hands into the warm bed.
There was silence.
"Ah——!h
The girl under the quilt was invaded by the cold, and sat up with a scream, and the whole person was awake in an instant, and saw a girl laughing next to the bed, and immediately picked up the quilt and threw herself over.
"Stinky Ah Yun, I want to fight with you!"
"Don't. ”
"Haha-"
"Itchy!"
"Ah, rascal!"
“……”
The two girls were crazy for a long time before they finally quieted down, and they were lying on their backs on the bed in disheveled clothes, and the girl named Li Ziyun looked left and right, and finally sighed boredly.
"Hanhan, it's finally a big vacation, and you just sleep at home. ”
"Otherwise, what else can you do?" Wu Xiuhan grabbed the quilt, hugged it to her chest again, and said comfortably: "This weather is the most suitable for lazy sleep." ”
"By the way, how about we go to the movies?"
"Don't go. ”
"Why don't you go? Do you know that when I just passed by the Custer Theater, I saw a Xiangjiang movie playing there. ”
"You just brag, Castel Theater never shows Xiangjiang films, my eldest aunt was ...... back then" Wu Xiuhan said and suddenly paused, glanced towards the door, and continued in a low voice: "My eldest aunt wanted to take the film to Custer back then, but no one let her in." ”
Li Ziyun sat up, crossed her legs and said, "But I really saw that it was a movie of Xiangjiang, and it was ......."
"And what?"
"And I seem to see Aqi on the poster. Li Ziyun scratched her head and said uncertainly.
Wu Xiuhan propped up her upper body and asked, "Which Aqi?"
"That little girl from Uncle Zhao's family, Zhao Deqi. ”
"Impossible, right?" Wu Xiuhan also sat up and glared in surprise.
"I also think it's impossible, but aren't Uncle Zhao and his family all in Xiangjiang?"
“……”
The two women looked at each other, and they both felt a little incredible.
Ignorant, Wu Xiuhan suddenly lifted the quilt, and said while getting out of bed and putting on her shoes: "Let's go, let's go to the movies!"
……
The Custer Cinema is on the edge of Union Square, very close to Tupan Street, and the two little girls walked out for a while before they arrived at the entrance of the cinema.
"It's really ......"
Wu Xiuhan looked at the little girl on the poster in front of her and said something incredulous.
"That's all I said. Li Ziyun shouted on the side.
"Home Alone, a must-see family movie at Christmas. Wu Xiuhan read a sentence according to the advertising slogan on the poster, turned her head and suddenly said: "Ah Yun, let's go buy tickets and go in and have a look." ”
"Good!"
To Wu Xiuhan's surprise, she thought that Chinese movies should be watched by very few people in the United States except for Chinese, but she didn't expect that in the queue to buy tickets, she saw white people in twos and threes, almost all with one or two children.
Of course, because of its proximity to Chinatown, most of them are actually Chinese.
Tickets are very easy to buy, the American film industry has been in a depression in recent years, and there are a lot fewer people watching movies.
After waiting for more than half an hour, with the noisy audience, it was finally their turn to enter.
Custer Cinema is a small theater with only about 700 seats, and Wu Xiuhan glanced at the audience after taking their seats, and there should be about 300 people.
With nearly four floors of attendance, it should look good at normal times.
But don't forget it's Christmas!
At this time period, at least the number of people must reach about 60% to be considered a slight pass......
The future is worrying!
Wu Xiuhan looked at this movie from Xiangjiang in his heart, and was not optimistic, and muttered softly: "I want to see what this film is filming, and the people behind it are even more powerful than my eldest aunt." ”
"Hmm...... , Hanhan. Li Ziyun hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Your eldest aunt, well, is your eldest aunt really that?"
"What?" Wu Xiuhan narrowed her eyes.
"What else could it be, it's what you used to say - gay. ”
“……”
"Hey, is it true?"
"......" Wu Xiuhan was silent, and nodded after half a sound: "Hmm." ”
Li Ziyun's eyes widened, and she whispered, "It's really true." ”
"How can this be fake?" the questioned little girl rolled her eyes.
"But, Hanhan, what does homosexuality really look like?"
"Don't look at me like that, I don't know. Wu Xiuhan crooked her mouth and said angrily: "My aunt has never been in love with another woman in front of me, she is usually normal." ”
"Hey, I'm so disappointed......"
"Disappointed in your size. ”
"Hanhan. ”
"Huh?"
Wu Xiuhan was called by Li Ziyun, and turned her head to look at her meaningfully, but before Wu Xiuhan could react, a small face had already been pressed in the dim light.
Then, Wu Xiuhan felt that her lips had touched something unusually soft.
"Hmm-"
