Siheyuan: I just want to live

After the three of them finished their meal, Jin Ling very consciously began to clean the table and wash the dishes. Chen Feng looked out the window at the still bright sky and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Time flies!" It was already past six o'clock. If it was winter, the sky would have been dark, but now the summer sun was still high in the sky, reluctant to set.

Because the weather was hot, Chen Feng didn't want to go to bed too early. However, apart from sleeping, he couldn't think of anything else interesting to do for a moment.

Just like that, he fell into deep thought and pondered for a long time. Finally, an idea flashed through his mind - watch a movie!

That’s right, since marrying Jin Ling, they have never gone to the cinema together to watch a movie! This thought made Chen Feng a little regretful.

Although the steel mill would sometimes show movies in the factory, Chen Feng had no interest in it. Every time he either felt too cold or too hot, he would always find various excuses to avoid going, resulting in him never going to watch a single movie.

Since Chen Feng was unwilling to go, Jin Ling would not go alone. Although Jin Ming was eager to watch the movie, Jin Ling firmly disagreed with letting him go out alone at night without an adult, so Jin Ming could not watch the movie as he wished.

Now thinking back, Chen Feng and Jin Ling had been married for nearly a year, and he had neglected to take her to the movies. This was really wrong! It was incredible that he could forget such an important thing.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng could no longer sit still, he stood up and looked around the room for something. Finally, he found a kettle - it was a flat oval kettle commonly used in the army, and it looked like a legless turtle.

Chen Feng picked up the kettle, opened the lid, put a handful of brown sugar in it, and then poured the warm water from the thermos into the kettle. He gently shook the kettle a few times to make sure the brown sugar was completely dissolved in the water.

Then, Chen Feng put on his schoolbag and put the water bottle in it. He also took out two kilograms of melon seeds from the space and put them in the schoolbag. Finally, Chen Feng pushed the bicycle out the door and prepared to set off.

When Jin Ling finished washing the pots and dishes and walked out of the kitchen, Chen Feng immediately went up to her, held her hand, and walked out the door impatiently.

Just as they were about to leave, Chen Feng turned around and shouted to Jin Ming who was doing his homework seriously in the room.

"Jin Ming, your sister and I have to go out for something, and it will take a long time! You stay at home and watch the door until we come back, don't run around! Got it?"

Jin Ming in the room heard Chen Feng's shout, so he also shouted loudly to the outside, "I know, brother-in-law! I will watch the door carefully! Don't worry!"

Jin Ling thought that Chen Feng had something important to take her out for, so she did not resist Chen Feng's pulling and was directly pulled out by Chen Feng.

After going out, Chen Feng pushed the bicycle in front and Jin Ling followed behind. After they were out of the courtyard gate, Chen Feng suddenly thought of something.

I went to the movies with Jinling, and I didn't know when I would be back! If I came back late, I could climb over the wall from the back alley. But how could Jinling, a girl, climb over the wall?

So Chen Feng parked his bike and said to Jin Ling, "Jin Ling, wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon!"

Then Chen Feng went straight into the courtyard without waiting for Jin Ling's answer.

Chen Feng came to Yan Fugui's house and knocked on the door. Soon, Yan Fugui opened the door.

He was a little confused when he saw Chen Feng standing at the door. He wondered why Chen Feng was looking for him. If he had something to do, he should have looked for Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. He basically didn't care about anything, so it was useless to look for him!

So he was the first to speak, "It's Chen Feng! Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Seeing Yan Fugui asking, Chen Feng said, "Teacher Yan, I have to go out for something now, and I don't know when I will be back. Please keep the door open for me tonight."

While Chen Feng was speaking, his hands did not stop moving. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his schoolbag and put them in Yan Fugui's hand.

When Yan Fugui saw the melon seeds in his hand, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and then he said, "Chen Feng, you are too polite. You are totally treating the third uncle as an outsider!"

"As the third uncle, it is my duty to open the door for you. Don't worry! I will leave the door open for you! I will let Jie Cheng wait at the door at night. I will let him go to bed after you come back!"

Chen Feng listened to Yan Fugui's words and thought secretly in his heart that if he didn't have this handful of melon seeds, let alone leaving the door open, it would be good enough if he could just open the door when the time comes.

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Feng still showed a grateful smile on his face and said, "Thank you very much, Teacher Yan! I have something urgent to do here! I'm leaving first, let's talk another day!"

When Yan Fugui heard Chen Feng's words, he smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I won't delay you any longer!"

After that, Chen Feng said goodbye to Yan Fugui and turned around and left the courtyard again. He and Yan Fugui did not communicate much.

He knew what kind of people the neighbors in the yard were. Except for one or two families, the others were not bad people.

Walking back to the door, Chen Feng rode his bicycle and took Jin Ling to the Red Star Cinema outside Nanluoguxiang.

Along the way, they passed by many familiar places and also saw some new changes. Although Beijing in this era was not as prosperous as in later generations, it had begun to show its unique charm.

But to be honest, many units have changed their names to Red Star or Red Flag these days. To distinguish them, the names are written as Red Star Factory in a certain district, county, street or town.

This phenomenon reflected a trend of thought and atmosphere in society at that time. People hoped to express their loyalty and support for the country and the revolution by changing their names.

The name of the cinema outside Nanluoguxiang is "Red Star Cinema in Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District".

This cinema is very famous in the local area and often screens various types of movies. Whether it is a classic old movie or the latest movie, it can attract many audiences to watch.

When Chen Feng brought Jin Ling to the outside of the cinema, Chen Feng parked his bicycle in a guarded place, and then took Jin Ling to buy tickets.

Jin Ling looked at Chen Feng who was queuing to buy tickets. She asked in confusion, "Honey, the important thing you said was to take me to the movies?"

Hearing Jin Ling's puzzled question, Chen Feng turned around and said as a matter of course, "Yes! Is it okay for me to bring you to see the movie? If it's any later, we may not be able to buy tickets for today! Of course, we have to hurry up!"

Jin Ling looked at Chen Feng who took it for granted. Although she wanted to laugh, she was touched when she thought that he cared about her so much.

So Jin Ling also smiled and followed Chen Feng's words and said, "My husband is right! This is an important matter!"

Soon, Chen Feng bought the ticket for the 8:10 show. Chen Feng looked at the time. It was not yet 7 o'clock, so there was still more than an hour left.

So Chen Feng took Jin Ling and sat down on the steps outside the cinema, and then Chen Feng grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his schoolbag and gave them to Jin Ling.

The two of them started cracking melon seeds outside the cinema. After a while, a small pile of melon seed shells appeared in front of them.

After eating melon seeds for a while, Chen Feng felt a little thirsty, so he got up and walked towards the man who was pushing a bicycle and selling popsicles not far away.

Chen Feng walked up to the popsicle seller, looked in the box, took out a dollar, and bought two ice creams. The vendor didn't carry that many flavors, only milk and yogurt.

Chen Feng also took one, and the vendor gave him fifty cents in change.

Chen Feng looked at the change and thought that ice cream is not cheap nowadays. The little cutie he ate when he was in elementary school in his previous life was only fifty cents, but now one ice cream costs twenty-five cents.

But fortunately, it is much better than the ice cream assassins in later generations who cost dozens of dollars each.

Chen Feng returned to Jin Ling with the ice cream, then held the ice cream in his hand in front of Jin Ling and said, "The one on the left is yogurt flavored, and the one on the right is milk flavored. Choose one!"

Jin Ling looked at the two ice creams, thought for a moment, and finally chose the yogurt flavor.

After Chen Feng saw that she had made her choice, the two of them sat on the steps and started eating.

Chen Feng was eating when he suddenly heard Jin Ling asking him something.

"Honey, is milk-flavored ice cream delicious?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng turned around and saw Jin Ling staring at the ice cream in his hand, which she had only eaten half of.

Seeing her asking, Chen Feng said, "It's OK! It tastes quite strong of milk."

After hearing Chen Feng's answer, Jin Ling said, "Honey, let me try your ice cream! I haven't drunk milk yet! Let me try what milk tastes like!"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng looked at her big watery eyes looking at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"That's fine, but you can only take one bite!"

Chen Feng said this not because he was stingy. With the money in Chen Feng's space, even if Jin Ling ate ten every day, she would not be able to finish them in her lifetime.

However, if a girl eats too many cold foods, she will suffer when her period comes. Chen Feng said this because he was worried about her.

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling nodded obediently, and then said, "Okay, husband, I get it! I'll just take a small bite!"

Chen Feng listened to her and handed the ice cream to her. Then Chen Feng saw Jin Ling approach carefully, opened her mouth, and almost finished half of the ice cream in Chen Feng's hand.

If Chen Feng hadn't held some of the ice cream in his hands, he guaranteed that Jin Ling would finish all the remaining ice cream in one bite.

Maybe she took too much bite and the ice cream felt too cold in her mouth, so Jin Ling spit it out and held it in her hand.

Then Jin Ling looked up and saw Chen Feng looking at her. She blushed slightly and said, "Honey, I didn't bite it too much, just a small bite!"

Chen Feng looked at her speechlessly.

Seeing that Chen Feng was looking at her without saying anything, Jin Ling stuck out her tongue at Chen Feng, then turned her back to Chen Feng and stopped looking at him.

Chen Feng was a little amused and confused when watching this scene. It was the first time that Chen Feng discovered that Jin Ling had such a lovely side.

Seeing this, Chen Feng stuffed the remaining ice cream in his hand into his mouth, and then said to her, "Okay, turn around! I won't take it back!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling slowly turned around, but she still didn't dare to look at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng saw from the side that Jin Ling's little face was still a little red.

Seeing this, Chen Feng just smiled and said nothing.
