0046 My new leather shoes
Zhang Chen, Jin Lili and Liu Ligan rode their bicycles to Tailong City. In Tailong City, there were snacks and small restaurants from all over the country. Jin Lili said, it’s a pity that there are no Yongcheng, I want to eat the spicy and perverted dishes like Yongcheng.
They chose a Hunan restaurant that looked the hottest. When ordering, Jin Lili also told the waiter to let the chef cook a little spicy.
"Our food is already very spicy," said the waiter.
"That's a little spicy than your hottest ones." Jin Lili said.
The waiter walked away with a smile. Jin Lili told them that the dishes in Haicheng, this ghost place, were delicious, but unfortunately there were no spicy dishes. That day, I ran to the kitchen of a hotel, took a few yellow bell peppers, and asked the chef to cook for me. What do you think of the result?
"How is it?" Liu Ligan asked.
"The chef was halfway through the frying, threw the spoon and ran to the side to choke. He said he couldn't stand it. I finally cooked the dish myself." Jin Lili smiled.
The food was served, and the waiter stood aside and refused to leave. After they started eating, the waiter asked with a smile, how about it, is it spicy enough?
Jin Lili nodded while eating. It was OK, but it was a little bit short of it.
The waiter sighed.
Liu Ligan looked at her and said strangely: "Why are you sighing?"
The waiter looked around, then bent down and lowered his voice to them, "The chef has already said he wants to kill you, and has put a lot of peppers."
The three of them laughed, and Zhang Chen said, "Then let him continue to kill us."
"Okay, I'll go and talk to him." The waiter walked away happily.
After dinner, they went shopping. When they passed by a shoe store, Liu Ligan looked at the leather shoes on his feet. When they washed the building every day, the shoes broke. When they went inside, Liu Ligan took a fancy to a pair of leather shoes and tried it. He was very satisfied. The store price was 350 yuan, and three people took turns to go on, and they couldn't pay it back. Liu Ligan said forget it, I don't like it very much.
Zhang Chen knew that Liu Ligan didn’t like it, but that he didn’t have enough money in his pocket, so he told the store that he would put it in and I want it.
Liu Ligan looked at Zhang Chen and cursed: "Your shoes are not cracking, what shoes do you buy?"
After leaving the store, Zhang Chen handed the shoes to Liu Ligan and said to him: "I gave them to you. Today isn't you celebrating that you have officially become a reporter."
Liu Ligan blushed and refused to ask for anything. Jin Lili scolded: "It's all my own people, so why are you pretending? Who doesn't know you have no money?"
Liu Ligan laughed and then took the shoes over. Jin Lili shouted, "Put it on, don't want those torn shoes anymore. If you don't hold on for this new shoes, you will be very painful tomorrow."
Liu Ligan thought it made sense, so he stood by the roadside and changed his shoes.
When we passed a cinema, "Veoron of the Universe" was being screened. The three of us hurried in. Although the movie was actually projected with a DVD player, the clarity was much worse than that of ordinary movies. It was still in English and Chinese subtitles. The first time the three of us watched a movie without dubbing was very uncomfortable and it was difficult to watch, but we were still stimulated by the plot and pictures of the story.
While watching the movie, Liu Ligan lowered his voice and asked curiously: "Have you noticed that people in this place are watching movies, why are so many people putting their feet on stools?"
"These are all Hainanese people," said Jin Lili. "That's how Hainanese people are. Even when they go to the highest-end hotels for dinner, they like to put their feet on the stools."
Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan suddenly realized that Liu Ligan tried to put his feet on the stool and told them, "Don't say anything, it's really comfortable." Zhang Chen was curious and tried it, and he agreed to be comfortable.
"Let go, let go, it's so ugly. You are mainlanders, what are you learning from Hainan?" Jin Lili cursed, and the two of them put their feet down.
The three of them rode their bicycles home and parked the car in the yard. Zhang Chen and Jin Lili went upstairs, and Liu Ligan walked out the door. Zhang Chen asked you what you were doing?
"Watch a movie." Liu Ligan said.
Zhang Chenqi said: "Didn't you just watched the movie?"
"Go and have a look." Liu Ligan walked out the door without looking back and said with a smile: "I won't watch a movie, go up and see you?"
Jin Lili hit Zhang Chen for a while, and the two of them chuckled and quickly went upstairs.
It was already past ten o'clock, and Liu Ligan arrived outside the door. The stool at the door was empty. Liu Ligan sat down and took off the new leather shoes on his feet while smoking. Rubbing his feet, the new shoes were still a little uncomfortable.
After smoking a cigarette, Liu Ligan saw Jianqiang walking towards him with a man. He quickly got up and walked in the opposite direction.
Liu Ligan went to the open-air cinema that Jianqiang mentioned, where the movies were being played all night long, five movies were being played in a row, and the venue was not cleared. Each ticket cost five yuan per ticket. When you go in, you can see it any time.
Liu Ligan bought a ticket and found that it was just a yard of a unit, with rows of chairs and a screen at the end of the open space. It was the same as when they were in Yongcheng when they were young, carrying a stool and running to the yard of other state-owned enterprises to watch movies.
Liu Ligan found three rows of chairs to sit down. He looked at the people around him and put his feet on the chair. Liu Ligan took off his shoes and placed his feet on the chair.
There was a Hong Kong martial arts film on the screen. Because it came in between, it was a brainless person. Liu Ligan couldn't tell who was good and bad person, and he was drowsy. Later, he really fell asleep on his knees.
The people around were ups and downs, and some people kept leaving and entering. When a new film started again, many people applauded. Liu Ligan woke up and saw that the new film had begun. He also started watching it. After watching it for more than half an hour, this film was really boring, which was far inferior to the "Veoron of the Universe" I watched earlier.
Liu Ligan looked at the time. It was past twelve o'clock. Liu Ligan couldn't help laughing when he thought that Jianqiang said, "It won't last so long." He felt that the time was almost the same and he could go home.
Liu Ligan put down his feet and went to cover his shoes, but he didn't cover it. He used his feet to thrust around, as if he had only pulled a slipper. Liu Ligan quickly took out a match from his pocket, bent down, and drew the match. He did not see his new leather shoes, but only saw an old pair of flip-flops in front of his chair.
Liu Ligan lamented in his heart, "It's over, someone must have used these flip-flops to exchange for his new leather shoes!"
The match fire burned Liu Ligan's fingers, and he quickly threw the match. When he lit the second one, someone around him cursed in Hainanese: "Dong Ding!"
Although Liu Ligan does not understand Hainanese, he knows the meaning of this word, which is similar to the mainland people who use Mandarin to scold "half-brain" and "beast".
Liu Ligan shouted loudly: "Call you mom!"
More people cursed back, and Liu Ligan finally didn't have the courage to light up the third match again, so he had to put on the flip-flops and walked out.
Liu Ligan returned home, but the house was still the same, the door was open and the lights were dark. Zhang Chen heard the sound and asked:
"Come back?"
Liu Ligan pulled off the electric light and shouted: "Look at my new leather shoes!"
Zhang Chen and Jin Lili both sat up from the bed and saw him wearing a pair of flip-flops, looking at him in discomfort.
"Mom, I watched a bad movie, and my leather shoes were replaced with slippers!" Liu Ligan cursed.
Zhang Chen was still confused and didn't know what he was talking about. Jin Lili understood and asked, "Are you learning from Hainan again?"
Liu Ligan stood there awkwardly, without saying yes or saying no.
"Idiot, you have to learn to be like you!" Jin Lili giggled, "Why do those people in the cinema only put one foot on the stool and change the other when they are tired? They are afraid that their shoes will be stolen. If you only have one shoe on the ground, who would steal you?"
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Ligan complained.
