"Old man Li, come with me" Chu Xiaoxiao, who had just finished eating, sprinkled like a child who had not grown up and was still busy with his work.
Li Qin shook his head while wiping the table he had just eaten and said, "I still have to go to work in the afternoon." You can stay home in the afternoon. ”
"Hey, I'm taking a vacation. Come with me. It's too boring to watch a movie alone, and Momo has to be on duty in the afternoon. Chu Xiaoxiao said as she glanced at Aunt Zhang, who was sitting diagonally opposite.
Aunt Zhang smiled and sat at the table against the wall and watched the two.
"Old man Li!"
"Don't go"
"You..." Chu Xiaoxiao was speechless by Li Qin, turned around and stuck to Aunt Zhang again.
"Aunt Zhang, you are the best at smiling. Just give him half a day off and let him accompany me to a movie. Chu Xiaoxiao hugged Aunt Zhang's arm like a little girl who was spoiled to her mother for something she loved, and gently swayed from side to side.
Aunt Zhang patted Chu Xiaoxiao's head with her other hand with a doting face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you girl." Isn't it okay for my aunt to agree? Then he raised his head and looked at Li Qin, "Xiao Li, you can take a vacation with Xiaoxiao this afternoon." The people in the shop are also busy. ”
Li Qin nodded, took the rag in his hand to the bathroom, cleaned it up, folded it neatly, and put it in the sanitary ware room. Then he took off his coat and changed into his own clothes.
"Aunt Zhang, let's go first. When I come back, I'll bring you the roast duck next to the movie theater. Chu Xiaoxiao dragged Li Qin as he walked towards the door, and turned around to say hello to Aunt Zhang.
Chu Xiaoxiao pulled Li Qin out of the restaurant and took a taxi casually, and pushed Li Qin into the car without waiting for Li Qin to speak.
Chu Xiaoxiao sat next to Li Qin, stretched out his head and shouted to the taxi driver in front of him, "Master, go to Century Square." ”
"Have you bought the tickets?" Chu Xiaoxiao's appearance of being in a hurry made Li Qin conclude that she had already purchased the tickets and that the time for the broadcast was approaching.
Chu Xiao pouted and said, "It's been booked a long time ago." If you had been a little more stubborn just now, my sixty dollars would have been spent in vain. ”
"You already knew that Aunt Zhang would ask me for leave?" Li Qin, who realized it later, realized that all this had already been arranged by Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said, "Aunt Zhang is like my own aunt, this kind of thing, Sasa's coquettish heart softened and agreed." ”
Li Qin smiled helplessly and shook his head, "It's really slippery." ”
"Oh, tell me about you, you can't find any news after staying in the restaurant all day. Grandma Sun is now in the hospital again, so I thought, why don't we come to this movie theater to see what we will gain. ”
Taxi drivers drive through the crisscrossed roads. Although the road around the corner made Li Qin feel very messy. But the general direction struck him with a hint of familiarity.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi pulled up on the side of the road in front of a large shopping mall. Chu Xiaoxiao pushed Li Qin, "Get out of the car." ”
Li Qin got out of the car, and Chu Xiaoxiao grabbed Li Qin and walked towards the mall.
"Aren't you going to the cinema?"
"yes, the movie theater is inside. ”
"Aren't you going to Century Plaza? It looks like a shopping mall. ”
"This place is called the square. The building in front of it is the shopping mall. The cinema is also inside. Oops, I don't have time to explain it to you. Let's go!" Chu Xiaoxiao pushed Li Qin into the gate of the mall from behind, and rushed to the fourth floor by elevator.
When he got to the fourth floor, Li Qin found that the entire fourth floor was a movie theater. This completely broke Li Qin's previous understanding of cinemas. Li Qin followed Chu Xiaoxiao and found that Chu Xiaoxiao did not go to the ticket office at the counter, but at an ATM machine on the side. Although the ATM machine was also seen when he and Chu Xiaoxiao went to the bank to withdraw money a few days ago, the bulky thing was obviously not the same thing as the somewhat light thing in front of me.
Li Qin stood on the side, only to see Chu Xiaoxiao tap twice on the big screen, and then use his mobile phone to point at the position of a small piece of glass under the screen. Then two paper tickets fell from the place on the other side where the ticket gate was written. Chu Xiaoxiao took out two paper tickets, walked up to Li Qin, and handed one to Li Qin: "Give, yours." Luckily, there's five minutes left before the movie starts, so what are you going to drink? I'm going to buy it. ”
Li Qin shook his head, Chu Xiaoxiao walked to the side to buy drinks and snacks, and Li Qin also followed. Chu Xiaoxiao bought a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke. Chu Xiao handed two glasses of ice Coke to Li Qin, and said while eating popcorn in his hand: "Let's go, enter the No. 7 theater from that opening over there." ”
When the two walked to the door of the theater, most of the audience had already entered, and Chu Xiaoxiao handed the ticket to the staff at the door. After confirming, the staff handed the two glasses to Chu Xiaoxiao.
Walking into the theater, Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the movie ticket in his hand to find a place, and Li Qin on the side glanced around the entire screening hall, he didn't have much change from the past, with a huge screen and rows of seats.
Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and looked at the movie ticket in her hand, patted Li Qin's shoulder and said, "Old man Li, the sixth row, the number one and second in the sixth row." ”
Li Qin counted the ranks, counted to the sixth row, walked in and found the position of himself and Chu Xiaoxiao. It is right in the middle of the entire theater. Li Qin put down the folding chair and sat down, he was a little surprised by the softness and comfort on his buttocks, but he didn't expect that the chair in the cinema would have changed its humanity forty years later.
Not long after the two of them sat down, the lights went out in the entire screening room. Pictures also appeared on the big screen, but for some reason, Li Qin always felt that the picture was very blurry, and the characters and scenery on it were ghosted. Although the color is better than in the past, the picture quality is not as good as the movies of that year.
"Old man Li, you put on your glasses. Li Qin's side came from Chu Xiaoxiao's small voice. Li Qin turned his head and saw Chu Xiaoxiao, who was wearing the black sunglasses, pointing to the sunglasses on his face.
Li Qin picked up the sunglasses in his hand and put them on his face. When I watched the movie again, the whole picture was so clear that I even felt like the people and objects on the screen had come out of it.
Two hours later, Li Qin walked out of the cinema. Taking advantage of the time when Chu Xiaoxiao went to the bathroom, Li Qin sat on the rest chair next to him and rubbed his temples. The visual and auditory impact of the theater just now makes it impossible for his brain to calm down now.
Suddenly, a person stood in front of Li Qin. Li Qin looked up and said, "Hmm, why did you change your clothes?" Looking at Chu Xiaoxiao standing in front of him, Li Qin felt a little surprised.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but stared at Li Qin with a smile. But that smile and that look make people feel weird. Suddenly, Chu Xiaoxiao turned his head and walked out of the movie theater. Chu Xiaoxiao had a pale yellow hairpin pinned to her head. Seeing the hairpin, Li Qin realized that it was not Chu Xiaoxiao. That's Lin Xiaojing!
"Little eye!" Li Qin shouted and rushed out of the movie theater. He saw Lin Xiaojing standing on the elevator and going down little by little, and Li Qin also followed. I just don't know why the other party's speed seems to be much faster than my own. He had just reached the third floor, and the other party had already begun to move down to the second floor, so he quickly trotted a few steps and stood on the elevator, and walked briskly down a few sections. When he reached the first floor, Lin Xiaojing had already walked to the gate of the mall. Li Qin took a breath and ran over. But when he got to the door, the person was gone.
Li Qin stood at the entrance of the mall, and the scene in front of him suddenly felt so familiar to him. He remembered that he also watched a movie with Lin Xiaojing at the county cinema at that time on New Year's Day. They also carved words on a tree not far away.
Li Qin walked forward and walked under a big tree, he touched the trunk of the tree, although it was already dark, but the headlights of the cars going back and forth on the outside of the road and the street lamps next to it illuminated these green "old things" very brightly. Although Li Qin didn't touch anything, he saw the yellow hairpin hanging on the branch above his head. Li Qin took off the hairpin, and the hairpin was bought by Li Qin for Lin Xiaojing after watching the movie that night.
"Hey, Old Man Li, what's wrong? Suddenly running here?" Chu Xiaoxiao panted and hunched his waist to hold on to the tree. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Li Qin running out of the movie theater in a hurry. Li Qin's steps were fast, and she trotted all the way to get here to catch up with him.
Li Qin turned around with the hairpin, Chu Xiaoxiao raised his head, and Li Qin said stupidly: "This is your grandmother's." I, I've seen my eyes. ”
