Lin Tingting is also a fashionable girl, and she still earns a salary. She obviously comes to the cinema frequently, so she said without thinking, "Let's go to Red Star, I'm on my way back."
Li Xuewu looked at the watch on his hand and saw that the time was almost half past seven.
"Then we have to eat quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch up."
I originally planned to watch it in Dahua, which happened to be on the same street. It was close and I was not pressed for time. But Lin Tingting wanted to go to the Red Star Cinema and had to eat quickly.
The two stopped talking and buried themselves in eating.
Li Xuewu ate a lot but ate quickly, while Lin Tingting ate slowly but little. So the two of them looked at each other and shared the last two small slices, rinsed the pot and drank the last glass of wine. ?
?
Li Xuewu looked at Lin Tingting who was wiping her face with a handkerchief and asked, "Are you full?"
Lin Tingting looked like a foodie, pouting her red lips and saying softly, "I've made it."
"Hey, let's eat some food then"
The two of them put on their clothes and hats and went out. The cold wind blew violently on their faces, making them both shiver after drinking and sweating.
"Let's push the cart for a while, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold," Li Xuewu said with great concern.
Lin Tingting didn't care. She wrapped the scarf around her face again and said, "It's okay. If you are later, you won't be able to buy tickets."
I would rather freeze than miss the chance to watch a movie.
The two got on their bicycles and rode back along Dongdan North Street. When they reached Mishi Street, they turned left.
Red Star Cinema is located on the west side of Mishi Street Road, adjacent to Jinyu Hutong to the north, so its closing door is located in Jinyu Hutong.
South of the cinema there is a restaurant, a YMCA and a youth sports school.
The ticket office was on the south side of the entrance to the cinema. There were not many people around, so Li Xuewu asked Lin Tingting to wait for him in the leeward place while she waited in line to buy tickets.
Not many people, about 5
I bought my ticket in minutes.
"How many do you want?"
"2 pictures"
"4 cents"
After paying the money, the conductor stamped the ticket twice and threw it away.
"Next!"
I took the ticket and walked back.
Li Xuewu looked at the ticket in his hand. It was a long piece of white paper two fingers wide. Looking from the tear mark on the left to the right, there were two boxes on the ticket price. One said the premium was 10 cents and the premium was 5 cents.
point
Looking further back is the seat number and ticket price "No. 13, row 6 downstairs, five cents". Behind it is written Red Star News Cinema, stamped with a blue square three-square stamp, printed with "Night show, December 1,
8:00”, with the words 845 underneath.
Lin Tingting's ticket is "No. 15, row 6, downstairs"
The fare is 50 cents, but the premium is divided into 10 cents and 50 cents, which means the ticket price is 20 cents.
The row of seat numbers is odd, so numbers 13 and 15 are actually next to each other.
Shaking the ticket in his hand, he found Lin Tingting waiting by the foyer, led her up the 5 or 6 stone steps, passed the ticket check, and entered the theater.
"The time is just right!"
Lin Tingting was still out of breath at the moment. She was riding a little fast just now in order to make time.
"Is it cold?"
"It's not cold. I'm a little drunk from the wine just now, and I'm a little sweaty."
Seeing Lin Tingting looking cute and naive after drinking, Li Xuewu helped her open the scarf and hang it around her neck.
"Don't take off your hat yet. Wait until we are all sweaty after we go in and sit down before taking it off."
"good"
Looking at Li Xuewu's attentiveness and words, Lin Tingting felt that this big man was not only fierce and domineering in appearance, but also had a delicate and warm side.
Although my family is not particularly wealthy, I and my brother are the only two people in the family. My parents and brother both work, and I am not short of money. I always want to find myself a good-looking person with good conditions.
Ever since I met Li Xuewu, I felt that this person was not very cool and glib, but he was generous and decisive in his actions, especially since he had been in contact with Director Ma for the first time.
Today I heard him talking about giving gifts and counting his connections. Just like his father and brother, he seemed to have a sharp mind and was by no means a reckless person.
He has good conditions, he cares about people, and he speaks and acts openly. Although his appearance has flaws, they are not congenital. Just like him.
He smiled at Li Xuewu and secretly decided that if there was no other reason, this was it.
The front hall of the cinema is not large, about 10 to 20 square meters, with two entrances on the left and right. There are about 700 or 800 seats on the first and second floors of the screening hall.
Li Xuewu arrived late, so they also bought tickets for the night show. The evening show starts at 6:30 and the night show starts at 8:00.
Night clubs generally have the fewest people because they have to go to work tomorrow and don't dare to sleep too late. They are all young and energetic people who are tired from playing in the afternoon and come to watch the night clubs.
The interior of the projection hall has a wooden floor, and Li Xuewu and the two of them found their seats by stepping on the wooden floor.
"You go in and sit down first, I'll go out for a while," Li Xuewu told Lin Tingting and left.
"Why are you going? It's about to start."
"Right away", immediately after Li Xuewu said it, the person had already left against the crowd.
Li Xuewu found a lounge on the left side of the front hall. He reached into his satchel and took out his military kettle from the space, opened the door and entered the lounge.
There is a circle of seats placed around the corner of the lounge, and movie stills and posters are hung on the wall.
There are several windows on the south side of the lounge, and you can see the street view of Mishi Street.
Li Xuewu came here for the boiling water in the lounge. Cinemas in this era were equipped with boiling water.
A white iron thermal insulation bucket was placed on a long table. Li Xuewu touched the bucket and found that the water temperature was suitable.
There is a water spout under the bucket, and there is a bucket on the ground to catch the missing water.
There is a small wooden cabinet on each side of the bucket, two layers, marked with the words "clean" and "used".
Li Xuewu saw someone open it and saw a small porcelain water cup inside. The water cup was not big and had a blue rim around the rim.
This is a public water cup. Although the service attitude of the cinema staff is average at this time, they really serve the people at this time.
If the weather is cold, it would be very pleasant for people to go to the theater and drink a glass of warm water.
Li Xuewu used a military kettle to fill a pot of warm water at the spout, twisted the lid and put it back in his satchel. At the same time, he also took out some dried fruits from the space and put them together with the kettle.
After leaving the lounge, he saw a wooden staircase on the right side of the front hall leading to the second floor. Li Xuewu went up curiously and took a look. There were not many seats on the second floor, about 6 or 7 rows. The guard board on the second floor was made of wooden fences.
of.
Because the first floor was not full, there was no one on the second floor either.
After watching something new, I quickly went downstairs and entered the screening room on the first floor. Lin Tingting was looking over here looking for me. When she saw me coming in, she hurriedly waved.
It turned out that the attendant was already calling to take a seat.
