After leaving the entrance of the Youth Store, Wu Jiangshan continued to wander around with his jeans.

Thinking about it in my mind, the place in front of the Hushan Town Cinema is bigger than here, and it can actually accommodate a few tables.

However, if it is open-air, the tabletop is easily damaged and stained, and it cannot be opened if it rains.

If only I could build a house or a shed next to the movie theater...

No, it's better to find a way to rent a movie theater to save trouble.

The place inside the cinema is not small, and movies are not shown all year round. If you can rent it, you can do a lot of things.

We walked around the large square to the other end, where there was a two-story dance hall. Next to the sign of the dance hall was a sign for an ice rink.

Wu Jiangshan stood at the door of the first floor and took a look inside the song and dance hall. It was smoky and dark, and the rotating spherical colored lights above only glowed when dance music was playing.

This place is not suitable for a young man like him to enter, so Wu Jiangshan shook his head and left.

Follow the stairs outside to go up to the second floor. The second floor is a hall. The place is not small. It has a cement floor and several ball lights.

"Jimmy Jimmy~Aga Aga~" a cheerful disco tune was playing in the hall.

Under the colorful lights, several young people wearing crudely made skates were spinning around in circles.

There is a small room on one side of the hall, which is a place for renting shoes. There are several people sitting in the small room, talking and joking.

Here, Wu Jiangshan even saw several girls with wavy permed hair and dresses and makeup on their faces, chatting with the boys around them.

There are even some who can smoke. These are probably the first batch of "little girls", right?

Wu Jiangshan walked over and found that there were still people selling cigarettes and soda drinks in this hut.

The hut was simply built with a few wooden boards, without windows, and an electric fan kept shaking its head.

It blows the smell of feet and smoke everywhere.

"Boss, get a pack of cigarettes."

The boss is a man in his thirties, wearing glasses, and is repairing a pair of broken skates.

Hearing this, he pointed to the shelf on the wall and said, "Get it yourself."

Wu Jiangshan looked at it and said, "Let's go to Hongta Mountain."

"3 yuan 5." The boss didn't even raise his head.

It was almost fifty cents more expensive than outside. Wu Jiangshan reached for a pack of Hongtashan and opened it. He saw a box of matches on the counter, took out one and lit it.

Then he took out three yuan and fifty cents from his pocket, walked to the boss, pulled up a small bench and sat down: "Here."

The boss reached for the money, stuffed it into his pocket, and continued repairing the shoes.

Wu Jiangshan watched from the side. At this time, the skates had a simple bearing and four simple plastic sleeves at the bottom, which often broke.

"Boss, how can I rent these shoes?"

"It costs two yuan an hour. If you want to play solo, it costs three yuan."

"What about that kind?" Wu Jiangshan asked, pointing to the kind that only had one sole and needed to be tied to the shoe.

The boss looked up and said: "That kind of thing, you can play whatever you want with three yuan."

Wu Jiangshan nodded and had no plans to play. There are no disposable socks these days. Everyone wears skates, which are really hard to stretch your feet on.

"Brother, can you give me a cigarette?"

A girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old walked up to Wu Jiangshan and said.

She just saw Wu Jiangshan buying cigarettes, so she came over to ask for them.

Wu Jiangshan handed over the whole box. The girl smiled, stretched out her hand and took out one, then took the one he was holding from Wu Jiangshan's mouth and fired it.

When the girl lit up her cigarette, Wu Jiangshan looked at her. She had dark skin, curly hair, and blue eye shadow...

"Brother, are you from out of town?"

Wu Jiangshan smiled and said, "How do you know?"

The girl pointed to the cloth shoes on his feet: "I have lost these shoes for a long time. Who in our provincial capital wears these now?"

Wu Jiangshan smiled and said nothing. These shoes were made by his grandmother stitch by stitch. He must have them if he wants to wear them.

"Hey? Brother, are you buying new jeans?" The woman even turned over the jeans on Wu Jiangshan's legs.

Wu Jiangshan shook his head: "How can I afford it? It belongs to a friend, so I can borrow it to wear."

Hearing this, the girl's expression became calmer: "Would you like to play for a while? If you don't know how to skate, I can teach you."

Although Wu Jiangshan looks like a poor guy, he is tall, long-spirited, and has a bit of a ruffian in the corner of his eyebrows, which is very attractive to these open-minded girls.

"No, I'll just sit down and leave."

Seeing Wu Jiangshan being so cold, the girl immediately lost interest. Just as a young man wearing jeans slipped in outside and called her, he turned around and left.

It's not that Wu Jiangshan doesn't look down on girls with such a style, it's just that she looks down on her.

After all, there is already Zhang Denna as a foundation, and ordinary girls really can't catch his eye.

Lowering his head and picking up a shoe that the boss had just repaired, Wu Jiangshan looked at it over and over for a while.

"Boss, these shoes of yours are easy to break, aren't they?"

"It's easy to break, but it's also easy to repair." The boss doesn't seem to be a person who likes to chat, and he doesn't care whether the business is good or not, but he is very attentive to his work.

“How bad does it have to be to be unusable?”

The boss laughed: "As long as there are no shortage of accessories, I can wear it."

"Are new ones expensive?"

The boss glanced at him: "What do you want to do?"

"Hey, I can't afford it. If you, boss, have bad shoes, I would like to collect a few pairs and take them back to the countryside for fun."

"Humph." The boss repaired another shoe, grabbed the dark rag on one side and wiped his hands.

Wu Jiangshan handed over a cigarette, and the boss took it. After lighting it, he looked at Wu Jiangshan carefully.

"Look through the sack over there. If you find something useful, pick it up."

Wu Jiangshan looked where the boss pointed and saw a dirty big bag under the cabinet where the skates were kept.

"Those are not worth replacing."

Wu Jiangshan didn't care and went straight over to dig up the sack. Many of the bearings inside were broken and there were missing pulleys.

Some of them even had broken shoes, which would probably be a disgrace to those collecting rags.

He simply poured out all the sacks and dug around, and found that there were almost twenty pairs. Of course, many of them were singles.

Wu Jiangshan squatted on the ground, picking them up one by one and looking at them even if they were dirty.

After looking at one, I threw it back into the bag. Finally, looking at the rusty soles of the remaining two skates, I simply threw them in too.

"You can pay ten yuan for this bag and drag it away."

"Boss, if you take this bag to the scrap company, you won't be able to sell it for five yuan. You still have to go to trouble. Can it be cheaper for me?"

The boss originally planned to save up and send it to a scrap company to sell it, but he really couldn't make much money.

"I'm too lazy to do it, otherwise I could just put together two or three pairs to make it playable. How about this, you give me six yuan."

Wu Jiangshan made a mental calculation, and without much negotiation, he paid six yuan and gave it to the boss.

"Boss, do you have a phone number here? Give me your number. Come back, you have some old skates that you have discarded and leave them for me."

"Okay."
