Life 1984

Chapter 12 Farewell
Lin Zhi walked over and put a movie ticket into his hand: "It starts soon! Let's go in!"

Li Yunhai said sheepishly: "Ms. Lin, I won't read it, right?"

Lin Zhi pursed her lips slightly and said with a playful smile: "Hey, you didn't say that. I'm treating you, so you just watch? I bought the tickets, and I didn't ask you for money! You are a contemporary technical secondary school student, and you are now a national worker. , I have lived in the city for several years, why do I always belong to my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so why is it so disadvantageous?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, you don't care about any girls, how can I still be afraid of you?
Isn't it just watching a movie?Just watch it!
He parked his bicycle in the parking shed, asked her to get the lock, locked the car, and entered the cinema with her.

At this time, Shen Xiulan came over on a brand new bicycle, with her sister Shen Xiuling sitting on the back seat.

"Sister, look! Li Yunhai! He entered the cinema with a woman!" Shen Xiuling pointed at the door of the cinema and shouted eagerly.

Shen Xiulan just looked for a place to park: "Xiao Ling, are you blind again? How can Yunhai still be in the provincial capital? I have already written to him, and he will definitely reply next week. Why don't you get out of the car?"

Shen Xiuling jumped out of the car and said with a flat mouth: "I don't believe that there are two people who look so similar in the world! I see that man is clearly Li Yunhai! Sister, you must have been deceived by him !”

Shen Xiulan parked the car, locked it again, and said: "Go and buy a ticket quickly! If you are late, you won't be able to see the old things in the south of the city. Who told you to love stinky girls? Before going out, you have to dress up and change clothes. Shoes, it took a lot of time!”

Shen Xiuling smiled and said: "Sister, we agreed to treat you. You have joined the work, and your parents bought you such a good bicycle. Why don't you treat me?"

Shen Xiulan took out fifty cents and handed it over: "Here you go, there is only one cent left, you can buy two popsicles."

Shen Xiuling took the money and said with a smile: "Sister, I'll queue up to buy the tickets, and you go buy the popsicles! The remaining ten cents are for my errands! Why don't you buy me a bottle of ice-cold soda? ?”

Shen Xiulan stretched out her finger and lightly poked her sister on the forehead: "You don't want to watch a movie? If you buy a ticket, you still have to pay for errands! You can say it out loud! Do you still want to drink soda? Soda costs [-] cents. Bottle! It’s so expensive!”

Shen Xiuling smiled, held the fifty cents in her hand, and ran to the ticket window to queue up.

Shen Xiulan still felt sorry for her sister. She bought herself a three-cent mung bean popsicle and a fifteen-cent bottle of ice-cold soda for her sister.

"Sister! The old events in Chengnan are full and there are no tickets!" Shen Xiuling shouted with her mouth flattened, "What should we do? Can't we watch it?"

Shen Xiulan looked at the "Today's Screening" sign and said, "Then watch "Stars". This is a movie shot in our provincial capital. It contains scenes we are familiar with, such as Martyrs Park and Xijiang Bridge. !”

Shen Xiuling said "Oh" and bought two movie tickets for "Stars and Stars".

The Red Theater has two screening rooms, one large and one small.

As early as the 50s, many cities in China had cinemas with two screening rooms, one large and one small.

Like the Victory Cinema in Beijin, the Star Cinema in Jicheng, the Red Theater in Xizhou, and many more.

"Sister, is this movie good?"

"It's good to watch! It's all played by big stars, and there's also a love story in it. Just watch it and watch it, but don't let it go bad."

"Hey, sister, what's your state of mind? Why don't I allow you to fall in love with Li Yunhai at school? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

"You're still young! If you don't obey me, I won't take you in."

"Okay, sister! I don't want to fall in love! I don't like those boys! I hate them all!"

"..."

"Old Stories in the South of the City" has been released.

Li Yunhai never dreamed that Shen Xiulan, whom he missed so much, was watching another movie in the same theater, with only a wall separating him.

This is a pure prose film, a kind of euphemistic poetry, and a peaceful artistic conception.It is almost an elegant, indifferent and simple ink painting.It is full of the smell of human fireworks, but has no ambition for fame and fortune.

The story is very simple, it is about ordinary people's family affairs, but it is full of deep affection.The deep lovesickness and light sadness deeply touched people's hearts, and were full of simple and warm thoughts and feelings.

At the end of the movie, Yingzi's father died of illness.

Dad's flowers have fallen, and I am no longer a child.

When the theme song "Farewell" played, many women at the scene cried.

Lin Zhi is an artistic young woman and a sentimental woman. She also burst into tears.

After Li Yunhai read it, he didn't cry, but he felt deep thoughts and sorrow.

Many of the people watching the movie were couples, and the women were crying and lying on the shoulders of the men next to them.

Lin Zhi was also heartbroken and turned around to lie on Li Yunhai's shoulder.

Li Yunhai was speechless and did not dare to move, for fear of being misunderstood about their relationship.

After a long time, he remembered, took out the handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Zhi: "Stop crying, we've finished watching the movie, shall we go?"

Lin Zhi took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

The movie has ended.The sadness lingers in everyone's heart.

After leaving the cinema, Li Yunhai saw someone selling ice-cold soda next to him, so he bought two bottles, handed one to Lin Zhi, and finished it in two sips.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky, and the evening breeze blows the willow flute..."

Lin Zhi hummed and suddenly asked: "Li Yunhai, can you play the flute?"

Li Yunhai returned the bottle to the vendor and said, "Yes, I don't know other instruments. I can really play the flute. I can also play a song with a leaf."

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the side of the road, and reached out to pull the leaves on the tree.

The branch was too high for her to reach, so she jumped up.

Li Yunhai looked at this girl in astonishment.

Lin Zhi's behavior was completely different from Shen Xiulan's.

Shen Xiulan is the kind of traditional girl who behaves well. When you are with her, you can guess what she will do.

Lin Zhi, on the other hand, is often unexpected, and no one can imagine what she is going to do.

Lin Zhi jumped around and finally pulled a few leaves. She ran over and stretched out her hand in front of Li Yunhai: "Blow one and let me hear it."

Li Yunhai took the leaf and said with a smile: "You can't blow these leaves. You have to use long, thin, tender leaves, preferably willow leaves or bamboo leaves."

Lin Zhi said helplessly: "Just give it a try!"

Li Yunhai chose a leaf that looked reliable. He held the two ends of the leaf with both hands and used a little force to tighten and flatten the leaf, facing him horizontally.

He pressed the leaves lightly with his lips and blew gently.

"Ring!" Lin Zhi exclaimed, "Li Yunhai, you are so awesome!"

Li Yunhai feels the vibration of the leaves between his lips, gradually increases the intensity of blowing, or changes the position of his lips on the leaves, and notes the different tones produced by different methods.

Slowly, he was able to play the tune.

"We are happy to meet each other over a pot of turbid wine, don't sleep in the cold tonight..."

Lin Zhi hooked the fingers of her hands and placed them in front of her lower abdomen, smiling as she watched Li Yunhai play with the leaves.

Li Yunhai worked hard and played a piece of music. His cheeks turned red. He inhaled repeatedly, waved his hands and said, "I can't do it anymore! I haven't practiced for a long time, and I can't keep up with my breath."

Lin Zhi smiled sweetly and said: "Li Yunhai, you are so versatile, I am impressed!"

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Li Yunhai asked her, "Do you need me to take you home?"

Lin Zhi untied his bicycle and said with a smile: "No, I'll get home quickly on my bike. It's all on the main road. It'll be fine. Do you live near here? Where do you live? Can you invite me to your home? Want a cup of tea?"

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, there is no tea where I live."

Lin Zhi thought he lived alone, so there was no boiling water at home, so she said, "Okay! It doesn't matter if you don't have tea! Should I take you home first?"

Li Yunhai quickly shook his hand: "No, I'm leaving! Goodbye! Be careful on your way home!"

After saying that, he walked towards the Xinshachi Bathhouse.

Lin Zhi stood at the door of the Red Theater, looking at the direction in which Li Yunhai was leaving, with a slight smile on her lips.

Li Yunhai didn't realize that she had been looking at him.

Who would be so bored as to stare at someone's back?
Lin Zhi pushed her bicycle and followed Li Yunhai leisurely.

It's not far from the Red Theater to Xinshachi Bathhouse, it only takes 10 minutes.

Li Yunhai came to the service desk and checked in for tonight's accommodation.

The waiter charged him [-] cents for the night and arranged for him to live on a chair in the lobby.

Li Yunhai handed his schoolbag to the waiter.

The waiter hoisted the schoolbag to the iron hook on the roof.

There are many people who come to stay overnight, most of them are people who are away from home without letters of introduction, or people who think the hotel is too expensive.

It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for one day!
Li Yunhai was just thinking about taking a shower when he suddenly heard someone shouting from the service desk: "Li Yunhai! Is Li Yunhai there? Someone is looking for you!"

"Here! Here!" Li Yunhai was startled, who knew I was here?
