Chapter 296 Cinema

"This is a movie theater?" Wang Sijing looked at the two-story building in front of her with disbelief in her eyes.

This is too deserted.

"Well, what's the matter?" Xu Dongming had never been to a movie theater before, so he naturally had no idea about the movie theater.

"It's nothing." It's not bad after all.

After all, the current shopping mall is only more than three floors high, and the movie theater has two floors, which is not bad, the main reason is that there are too few people shopping here.

There was only one person who bought candied haws, oh, there seemed to be another person who bought candy over there, Wang Sijing looked hard.

Anyway, it is incomparable with the excitement in front of the movie theaters of later generations.

"Let's go, let's go buy tickets." Seeing his wife was not there, Xu Dongming said in doubt.

"Oh, good." Wang Sijing stopped looking around and followed Xu Dongming to buy tickets.

The person who bought the ticket was not like a young brother or sister in the later generations, but an old man, but it can still be seen that this old man should have been a handsome guy when he was young, and he might even be an actor in the theater.

His speech, movements, and demeanor are different from ordinary old men.

"When a young couple takes their children to watch a movie, choose a cheerful one, not a war one, let alone a tragedy, so let our little sister enjoy watching it."

The old man took the movie tickets and looked at them one by one.

Wang Sijing was speechless. We should not ask ourselves which movie tickets to choose.

"Let's just watch Outwitting Tiger Mountain. The child has watched it once before and always remembers it. Today I will take her to watch it again." Xu Dongming interrupted the old man's rambling.

"Oh, that's fine. It's a good movie. Three tickets, two yuan and four." The old man took out three tickets and handed them to Xu Dongming.

Xu Dongming paid.

Three tickets cost [-] yuan, which is considered expensive in this day and age, which is why so few people come.

After all, she is working in a hospital now, and her monthly basic salary is only forty.

"Let's go, let's go in." Xu Dongming couldn't help shouting when his wife didn't move after paying the money.

"Wait, let's buy something to eat, what if Mengmeng gets hungry later." Wang Sijing said.

"Well, what to buy?" Xu Dongming always followed his wife's advice on these small matters.

The wife said that if she wanted to buy food, she would buy it.

"Candy-fried chestnuts, let's buy a bunch of candied haws, Mengmeng likes to eat it the most." Wang Sijing listened faintly to the cries of candied-fried chestnuts, but it was a little far away because the vendor hadn't pushed them over.

Wang Sijing couldn't help but look at the time, did they leave the stall so late?
"Okay, I'll go shopping, you take Mengmeng to sit here for a while." Xu Dongming took the initiative to take over the task of shopping.

"Yeah, go back quickly and Mengmeng and I are waiting for you here." After a morning of sun exposure, the water mist on the chair has almost dried up, Wang Sijing took out a handkerchief to wipe it and hugged Mengmeng sat on it.

Wang Sijing lamented that when she came to this world, the most thing she carried with her was a handkerchief, and she didn't bring four or five with her that day.

After all, toilet paper is still a rarity and expensive, and reusable handkerchiefs are a must-have for wiping your face, hands, and sweat.

Wang Sijing is also a bit obsessed with cleanliness, and she doesn't want to use a handkerchief repeatedly, so naturally she can only carry a few spare ones with her.

"Are Mengmeng hungry? Dad is going to buy food. He will be back in a while. Let's sit here and wait for Dad." Wang Sijing whispered softly while holding her daughter.

"Not hungry, okay, mom, shall we still watch Tiger Mountain Outwit later?" The cute little girl was completely thinking about her movie.

"Well, Mengmeng likes to outwit Tiger Mountain so much." Wang Sijing laughed.

I didn't expect the child to remember it after seeing it just once in the town.

Maybe it was the first time I saw it.

Isn't every first time in life quite memorable.

"Yeah." Mengmeng nodded vigorously.

She just loves it.

Soon Xu Dongming bought candied chestnuts and candied haws and came back. He bought two bunches of candied haws and handed them to Wang Sijing and Mengmeng respectively.

"What are you buying for me? It's not that you just buy a bunch for Mengmeng." Wang Sijing complained.

She really doesn't like eating candied haws.

"One for each of you and Mengmeng." Xu Dongming insisted on handing it to her.

Seeing Xu Dongming's serious expression, what else could Wang Sijing say, not just accepting.

"Okay, okay, if I can't finish eating later, you can help me eat." Wang Sijing said intentionally.

Xu Dongming doesn't like to eat more than she does.

"Okay." Who knew Xu Dongming agreed immediately.

Wang Sijing looked at him in surprise.

"What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?" Xu Dongming was puzzled.

"No, by the way, why hasn't the one who bought fried chestnuts come here after so long?" Wang Sijing shook her head and changed the subject casually.

"He bought it over there, when the street was crowded." Xu Dongming said.

Crossing a street from here and turning a corner is the shopping mall, which is much more lively than here.

"Oh, that's it." Wang Sijing nodded to show that she knew and didn't ask again, took the candied haws and took Mengmeng's little hand and walked into the cinema.

The outside of the cinema looks old and dilapidated, but the facilities inside are not bad, and they look quite new.

"A few years ago, it was also smashed here, and it was replaced last year." Xu Dongming followed her and explained.

"Ah, why was this place also smashed?" Wang Sijing really didn't know that even movie theaters were smashed at that time.

"Let's get angry." Xu Dongming didn't say much, it's not easy to discuss.

"Oh." Wang Sijing did not continue to ask.

The family of three found their seats and sat down.

The tickets given by the old man happened to be connected together.

Wang Sijing let Mengmeng sit in the middle as usual, she didn't want to sit with Xu Dongming, she was really worried.

Although the cinema is a closed space, there are only about ten people sitting in it now, but who knows if an accident will happen if one is not paying attention.

She couldn't afford to gamble, so it was safer to put Mengmeng between her and the two of them to pay attention from time to time.

Obviously Xu Dongming and she wanted to go together.

"Give me the bag, and I'll peel the chestnuts for you." Xu Dongming said as soon as he sat down.

I am still adjusting the machine now, and it will take a while to play. I just peeled the chestnuts and I can eat them directly when I want to eat them.

It also avoids waiting to peel chestnuts and make a sound to disturb other people's viewing experience.

Wang Sijing just didn't want to peel it off, so upon hearing Xu Dongming's words, she handed over the whole bag together.

Mengmeng has already started eating candied haws.

Wang Sijing looked at hers, sighed and bit one and started to eat.

The sugar coating on the outside was too hard, and it was not covered with plastic like modern times. Wang Sijing always felt that she had bitten into countless dust with this bite.

Don't think about it, this is candied haws, everyone is eating it, it's nothing, Wang Sijing couldn't help comforting herself before she ate the candied haws in her mouth.
