Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

The love in the 60s did not have those grandiose vows of eternal love under the moonlight, but was just plain and dull love with ups and downs and mutual support.

In the blink of an eye, it was June. After this period of contact, Lin Zongxuan and Li Zhihua had basically confirmed their relationship.

However, due to the summer work clothes procurement and the canteen's "priority competition", Lin Zongxuan has been so busy lately that he has not been able to take care of the rest.

Today, the two finally had some time alone, and it was time for Comrade Xiaolin to ask Comrade Xiaoli to go to the movies.

Movie theaters, parks and skating rinks were the most popular dating locations for young couples in the 6.70s and s.

In the morning, the two of them held hands and went shopping in the department store and Beihai Park, and then went to the ice rink. Lin Zongxuan pretended to be a beginner who was skating for the first time, pretended to fall and got dizzy, and finally, for the first time in his two lives, he enjoyed the treatment of his girlfriend's lap pillow.

Of course, after being exposed, the girl blushed with shame and 'gently' left a few bruises on his arm with her hands. That was only natural.

At around 4 p.m., the two of them went to the Dahua Cinema on Dongdan Street, bought two tickets for the newly released movie "Peach Blossom Fan", and went in to find seats close to each other.

It was early summer and there were many people in the cinema, including fashionably dressed young couples, students in school uniforms, and well-dressed middle-aged couples. Lin Zongxuan even saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner, who he guessed should be from the Chinese Embassy.

During this period, there were not so many snacks to fill people's mouths. Before the movie started, everyone was whispering, some were discussing the plot, and some were holding hands and imagining their future life.

In such a pink atmosphere, it is hard not to have wild thoughts.

Lin Zongxuan secretly glanced at Li Zhihua and found that her eyes were staring directly at the screen, but the slight blush on her cheeks betrayed her, and it was obvious that she was not so calm either.

Comrade Kobayashi smiled secretly inwardly and boldly held her fair hand.

Xiao Li puffed up her face and tried to pull her hand back, but Lin Zongxuan quickly pointed at the screen, indicating that the movie was about to start, and raised his hand to beg for mercy. Only then did she give up and let the two of them hold hands tightly.

"Peach Blossom Fan" is a film produced by China's Xi'an Film Studio in 1963 and released in the same year, starring Wang Danfeng and Feng Zhe.

The film is based on the legend of the same name by Kong Shangren of the Qing Dynasty and the play of the same name by modern dramatist Ouyang Yuqian. Through the tragic and happy love story of Hou Chaozong and Li Xiangjun, it truly and vividly reflects the turbulent social situation and complex political struggles in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty, and to a certain extent explores the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, Lin Zongxuan had watched this movie twice in his previous life when he was looking for information. In addition, the picture quality was much worse than that of decades later, so he was not very impressed.

But Li Zhihua was obviously watching it for the first time. She saw the texture of a later melodramatic romance drama in a film that tended to explore the rise and fall of feudal dynasties. She cried from the beginning and Lin Zongxuan's sleeves were never dry, which made him helpless.

After leaving the cinema, Li Zhihua, who was originally immersed in the plot, suddenly frowned. She saw someone she didn't want to see.

"what happened?"

Lin Zongxuan followed her gaze and saw a young man rushing towards the cinema surrounded by a crowd of people. His features were somewhat similar to Li Zhihua.

"This is my cousin Liu Xiangqian, also a worker at the steel mill, working in the forging workshop. He is not a good person, so we should ignore him."

Li Zhihua was probably afraid that Lin Zongxuan would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained and then pulled him away.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Liu Xiangqian recognized Li Zhihua at a glance. He chuckled twice and brought people to stop the two people who were about to leave.

"Zhihua, how long have we not seen each other? You didn't even say hello. Are you trying to avoid me?" Liu Xiangqian asked with a fake smile, his whole body filled with a bandit-like aura.

"I'm not hiding from you. It's just hot and I'm in a hurry to leave." Li Zhihua replied calmly.

Liu Xiangqian felt embarrassed and looked a little humiliated. He looked carefully at the young man holding hands with his cousin and suddenly felt that he looked familiar.

"You are, you are Lin Zongxuan from the purchasing department? Are you dating my sister?"

After recognizing Lin Zongxuan, Liu Xiangqian's eyes rolled around a few times, and his attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic. He quickly took out a box of "Zhonghua", took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin.

After Lin Zongxuan took it, he thanked him politely and put the cigarette in his jacket pocket.

The attitudes of both men showed that they didn't want to have much contact with this ruffian, but for some reason, Liu Xiangqian insisted on trying to please this ruffian.

"Secretary Lin, look at what has happened. We, your relatives, don't even know that you two are related. But you have a good eye. My cousin's fruit is famous in the area..."

In order to make friends with them, Liu Xiangqian stopped the two men under the scorching sun and talked to them for a long time. Finally, when the movie was about to start, he reluctantly let them go and walked into the cinema with a group of thugs in a proud manner.

After Liu Xiangqian left, Li Zhihua said apologetically, "I'm sorry, he may have to use your name to show off in the factory in the future."

"What kind of reputation do I have? At most, I can tell someone I know." Lin Zongxuan smiled and shook his head, then asked hesitantly, "Zhihua, is your cousin's family rich?"

"His family is just an ordinary working-class family. What's wrong with that?" Li Zhihua was a little confused.

"Nothing, I just asked casually because I saw he was smoking Chunghwa cigarettes."

Lin Zongxuan sighed softly in his heart. It was not just Zhonghua cigarettes. The snuff bottle hanging on Liu Xiangqian's waist was obviously a high-quality product that had been around for some time. These days, this kind of stuff was usually placed in the Friendship Store for foreign guests to choose from.

Where did Liu Xiangqian get so many foreign exchange coupons?

The workers who resell materials from the steel mill, the cousin who is as stylish as the children of high-ranking officials, and the foreign guests who are still stranded in China, all of these seem to be linked together, giving Lin Zongxuan a bad feeling.

What’s even more terrifying is that these things are actually related to his partner.
