A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Chapter 122: Encounter at the Movies

By the way, today Yu Junsheng not only received his salary, but the department also gave bonuses to the employees who participated in the new project last time. Each member who participated in the project received 100 yuan, and everyone was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.

Yu Junsheng was also rewarded with a bicycle ticket for his contribution in catching Sun Zhengye.

Afterwards, Section Chief Liao summoned Yu Junsheng to his office alone and explained that they had found tens of thousands of yuan in stolen money in Deng Guangming's home. Yu Junsheng was rewarded with a hundred yuan for his report. Yu Junsheng understood that Section Chief Liao was doing this for his own good, fearing that revealing his reporting of Deng Guangming would lead to retaliation from his collaborators. He was naturally grateful to Section Chief Liao.

In total, Yu Junsheng received a bonus of 200 yuan and a bicycle ticket in addition to the basic salary.

When he got home from get off work, Yu Junsheng happily handed all his bonus and bicycle tickets to his wife.

Cheng Jiajia also jumped up in surprise, hugged him and gave him a kiss, adding a string of flattery, "I have good taste, my man is really amazing! He's really good at making money! No one in this courtyard can compare to him!"

Yu Junsheng was very pleased with it, and he chuckled foolishly, "Of course not. Who is your man? Can he compare with those crouching dragons and phoenixes, and those ugly girls in the yard?"

Just as a bicycle ticket was issued, Yu Junsheng planned to buy a bicycle.

But Cheng Jiajia was a little hesitant. Buying a bicycle would be a good idea, as it would make it much more convenient to go anywhere in the future.

But the problem is that no one in their compound has bought a car since the Ren family’s car was stolen last time. If they bought one, wouldn’t it be a bit too conspicuous?

Yu Junsheng said, "Many people in the factory know that I issued a bicycle ticket. If we don't buy it, someone will definitely come to exchange it. Instead of letting others worry about it, we might as well spend it ourselves."

"Let's buy one. That way, I can take you out to play, go to the park, watch a movie, etc. during my free time. It will be much more convenient. You won't be stuck at home all day." Yu Junsheng could see that his wife didn't like walking. She would rather stay at home than walk.

When he said that, Cheng Jiajia suddenly remembered that they had never gone out on a date since they got married.

Firstly, there were few entertainment options these days, and there wasn't much fun to do outside. Secondly, they didn't have bicycles, so they had to rely on their own two feet to go everywhere. Cheng Jiajia gradually stopped liking to travel far. Well, any place that took more than 30 minutes to walk was considered far away.

Now that Yu Junsheng brought it up, Cheng Jiajia actually wanted to go to the movies.

The two of them hit it off and decided to go to the movies that night.

Yu Junsheng didn't want to cook in the evening, so he took Cheng Jiajia to a state-owned restaurant to eat dumplings, and then the couple went straight to the cinema.

It is called a cinema, but it is actually a two-story building. The lobby is the ticket window, and the back and the second floor are the screening rooms.

This was Cheng Jiajia's first time coming here. She was very curious and looked around with her big eyes.

There were actually some people sneaking around in front of the cinema selling melon seeds and peanuts, wrapped in old newspapers, at one cent a bag.

Yu Junsheng was amused. His wife was so cute. When she stared and rolled her eyes around, she looked like a furry squirrel. Yu Junsheng resisted the urge to touch Cheng Jiajia's head, reminding himself that they were outside and shouldn't touch anyone outside.

Yu Junsheng coughed as if to cover up his cough and said, "Wife, I'll go buy some melon seeds to eat while we watch the movie." After that, he strode towards the young man selling melon seeds on the right, and soon came back with two bags of melon seeds wrapped in old newspapers.

Cheng Jiajia took a bag and found that it was quite a large portion. It was only one cent a bag, which was really good.

So I asked curiously, "They are selling melon seeds here, are they okay?"

Yu Junsheng glanced at the two people selling sunflower seeds and peanuts, and while pulling Cheng Jiajia to the ticket window to buy a ticket, he said vaguely, "It's a small business, and it's winter night now, no red armbands will come."

Cheng Jiajia inexplicably understood what he meant. It was a freezing cold winter night, and the people with red armbands were too lazy to come over and cause trouble. They looked down on the small business, which was not very profitable.

Cheng Jiajia looked at the patched clothes of the two young men selling sunflower seeds and peanuts and thought to herself, "Even though that's true, no one can guarantee that these people won't come back. Who knows if they'll suddenly come on patrol one day?" Therefore, those who dare to do this kind of work are all from poor families and have no other choice.

After queuing up to buy tickets, the two followed the crowd to find the corresponding screening room.

They didn't arrive too early, so the tickets they were given were for seats further back in the queue. Also, there weren't many people watching movies at that time, so Cheng Jiajia found a seat quickly.

The movie started soon, and Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng stopped chatting and started watching attentively.

This is an anti-Japanese war film, telling the story of the broad masses of people and their daily lives fighting wits and courage with traitors during the war.

You know what, even though she had watched a lot of big-budget movies in later life, Cheng Jiajia actually thought this movie was pretty good, maybe because there weren't many entertainment activities here or because she was living in this era. She quickly immersed herself in the plot and watched it with great interest.

Unfortunately, there was an annoying couple in front, who were openly flirting not long after the movie started.

Oh my god, that look is almost thready.

My God, watching an anti-Japanese war movie is already like this, so if they were to watch a romance movie from later times, would these two still be able to sit still?

Cheng Jiajia was very skeptical. If it weren't for these light bulbs, these two people would have been able to screw the screws on the spot.

It is very unsightly and affects the viewing experience of the audience behind.

Cheng Jiajia heard the two little girls next door also whispering and calling the two people shameless, but they were too shy to go up and remind them.

A flash of light and shadow passed by, and Cheng Jiajia just happened to see the profiles of the two people.

I go!

Cheng Jiajia widened her eyes slightly.

I didn't expect it was an acquaintance.

It was Dong Siwei's boyfriend Xu Dongliang. He and another female comrade were sitting three rows in front of them, diagonally in front of them, and were kissing each other head to head.

What’s interesting is that the female comrade next to Xu Dongliang was neither Dong Siwei nor the female salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative last time.

Cheng Jiajia was shocked and at the same time, she was speechless.

Damn, is this guy a time management guru from the 1960s?

Yu Junsheng also saw it and cursed directly, "You bastard, it's like you haven't seen a woman in 800 years. You can't bear it for just a moment."

Yu Junsheng was very indignant. Even if he wanted to kiss his wife so much, he had to wait until he got home. Why could he, Xu Dongliang, kiss female comrades?

And it’s not the same lesbian!

Suddenly, his eyes rolled, he started to have bad thoughts, and he crouched down to go out.

He also reminded Cheng Jiajia, "Wife, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon. Don't run around."

"No, where are you going?" Cheng Jiajia was confused.

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Cheng Jiajia quickly found out where this person had gone.

Because not long after, just when the two people in front of them were touching each other again, a loud shout suddenly came from behind.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Who's being a hooligan in the cinema?! You, you guys, get out right here!"

Everyone was startled, and before they could react, they saw a black shadow whoosh and leap forward like a ghost, then with two precise hands pulled the hair of Xu Dongliang and his female companion respectively.

Xu Dongliang: “!!!”

Lesbian: “!!!”

The next second, both of them screamed in pain, "Ah! What are you doing?! Let us go!"

The woman with the red armband cursed, "What are you yelling for? You still have the nerve to yell! You two are shameless, acting like hooligans in public. What do you think this is a movie theater? Our joint defense team is arresting shameless hooligans and adulterers like you!"

Xu Dongliang: “!!!”

Xu Dongliang never thought that when he was kissing Hu Xiaoxiao in the dim light while a movie was showing, he would be caught by the aunt from the joint defense team.

I panicked at the moment, not caring about the pain in my scalp from being pulled, and hurriedly explained, "No, we are not hooligans, we are a couple..."

The old lady remained completely unmoved, her face stern. "I don't care if you're married or not. You're just being a hooligan! Come on, come on, follow me to get some ideological education. Don't disturb others here. I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense with me, or we in the joint defense team will report you to the Revolutionary Committee, and then it won't be..."

Then two older women wearing red armbands came in, obviously from the joint defense team. As soon as they came in, they started twisting each other like pigs.

"Ahhh, let us go, let us go! We are not being hooligans!"

Although this poor pair of wild mandarin ducks resisted desperately, they were still humiliated and dragged out by the three aunts.

The theater soon returned to silence, with only the voice of the movie protagonist speaking his lines passionately echoing.

However, after this incident, Cheng Jiajia clearly felt that the ambiguous atmosphere between men and women had disappeared. Everyone sat upright with serious eyes as if they were attending a class.

Cheng Jiajia's mouth twitched. She didn't know why, but she felt that this was related to Yu Junsheng. This man had gone out before and hadn't come back yet.

It is said that this person is not easy to be talked about. As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Junsheng came back from somewhere with a smirk on his face.

He said stealthily, "How is it? How is it? Wife, those two eyesores are gone now, right?"

Cheng Jiajia: “…” It turns out to be you, Old Six!

But she gave a thumbs up, "Well done!"

Yu Junsheng was pleased with himself, "Hey, let Xu be the one who broke the girl!"

It’s fine if he’s an adulterer, but he has to be an eyesore in front of his wife and affect her watching the movie. This is intolerable.

Mr. Xu is going to be embarrassed today and probably won’t dare to come to the cinema for a while.

No matter how you look at it, this is benefiting the general public.

Oh, he is such a good person. It’s another day that I am moved by myself.

……

On the other side, Xu Dongliang felt extremely aggrieved after being scolded by a few middle-aged women with stern faces and spitting all over the place.

He had never been scolded like this in his life, and he really wanted to slap the old hag opposite him in the face.

But when he saw the red armbands on the arms of several aunties, Xu Dongliang was afraid of making things worse, so he could only endure it, nodding and bowing continuously, and saying with a flattering smile that this was his fiancée. Unfortunately, the aunties remained unmoved, and kept nagging about how even couples should not act like hooligans in public, and that it would have a bad influence on others.

In the end, Xu Dongliang had no choice but to grit his teeth and give each of the aunties two dollars, and only then did the aunties give in.

The angry Xu Dongliang did not notice that the girl's eyes next to him suddenly lit up when he mentioned his fiancée.

Xu Dongliang wiped the sweat from his forehead and kept cursing these nosy old women and the person who reported him in his heart.

Don't let me catch you, you bastard!

……

When the two came back that day, the neighbors in the yard had already gone to bed, so they quickly washed up and went to bed.

As a result, when Cheng Jiajia got up and washed up the next morning, she heard Aunt Cao and others talking about the fight between the Qin and Bai families last night.

Cheng Jiajia's eyes lit up and she asked, "Ah, what's wrong? What's wrong? What did I miss?" She knew that these two families would not live in peace.

"Hey, it's all about money. I heard Aunt Yan went to the factory to collect Qin Weimin's salary. Qin Weimin came home from get off work and wanted to beat Aunt Yan, but was stopped by his sons. Then Aunt Yan rushed over, grabbed Bai Zhenzhu's hair and started slapping her face. Uncle Qin came to the rescue, and the three Qin brothers defended their mother, and a fight broke out."

Cheng Jiajia was heartbroken. If she had known this last night, she would not have gone to the Idiot Cinema. Could that movie be as good as the big show in the theater?

But somehow, the conversation turned to the bicycle ticket in Yu Junsheng's hand.

Aunt Ma's eyes sparkled, "Hey, Xiao Cheng, I heard that your son Yu Junsheng issued a bicycle ticket. You can't use it anyway, so I'll take a loss and give you some more food coupons in exchange, how about it?" Her son just needed a bicycle.

Cheng Jiajia's mouth twitched. You're really not shy! You're not at a disadvantage. Can food coupons be compared with bicycle coupons?

On the black market, a bicycle ticket can be sold for over a hundred yuan.

Just as Yu Junsheng said, they couldn't hide the fact that they had the bicycle tickets, so someone started to get interested.

Cheng Jiajia said with a forced smile, "Auntie, you're so kind, but we've been neighbors with Ma Gaosheng for so many years, how can I let you suffer a loss? So, let's not exchange this ticket and buy our own bicycles. I can't let you suffer a loss, don't you agree?"

Aunt Ma choked.

I always feel that what this little bitch said was not good, but damn, she couldn't even refute it. I'm so angry!

Everyone laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Auntie Ma, the abacus beads on your abacus make such a loud noise!"

"Auntie Ma, how about I exchange my food coupons for a bicycle ticket?"

Jiang Qiubai, who was washing up at the same time, looked at Cheng Jiajia with jealousy.

We both got married together, but Cheng Jiajia's rural household registration is not as good as mine. Why is her life getting better and better?

Still buying a bicycle?

Bah! It doesn’t matter whether you are worthy or not!

Jiang Qiubai rolled his eyes, and an idea came to his mind. He kept his eyes on the movements in the yard.

She watched Cheng Jiajia go home after washing up, and then saw the guest coming to the Yu family. He seemed to be the fool who was extorted by her mother-in-law last time. Jiang Qiubai curled her lips. As expected, Cheng Jiajia's relatives were not presentable.

Jiang Qiubai didn't take this matter to heart.

When Cheng Jiajia finished washing clothes at the sink and was about to go back, Jiang Qiubai's expression tightened.

She quickly took the laundry basin and went out, pretending to casually walk around behind Cheng Jiajia. When she passed by her, Jiang Qiubai gritted his teeth and bumped into her hard.

The corners of Jiang Qiubai's mouth curled up slightly.

If I hit her, not only will I lose the "child", I can also extort a large sum of money from Cheng Jiajia, and it would be best if I could get the bicycle ticket back. Then I can buy myself a bicycle and be the most famous young wife in the courtyard!

Jiang Qiubai was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice at all that at the critical moment, Cheng Jiajia actually dodged away.

Jiang Qiubai didn't have time to brake and crashed into the person behind her.

With a "bang", both of them were knocked to the ground.

"Ahhh! Jiang Qiubai is pregnant, how could you hit her?! If something happens to the baby in her belly, can you afford to pay for it?!"
