Su Yin followed Gu Cheng'an, curiously looking at the cinema in the city. She had only watched open-air movies when she was in the brigade. After the autumn harvest, the brigade leader rewarded everyone with two pounds of pork and a pack of economic brand cigarettes to invite a movie projectionist from the neighboring commune to show the movie.

Movie projectionists are popular in the commune. There are no movie projectionists in Shangang Commune where Su Yin lives, but there are two in Jinbu Commune next door. Both of them have to be well fed and well provided for.

The cinema in the city is different. It is a red brick house with a ticket seller busy at the small window outside the door. The movie tickets are also expensive, one dime each. She would never be willing to spend money to buy them. She saved money to go to college, so she would save money in other places.

The cinema was pitch black. Gu Chengan walked in front, looking back from time to time. In the darkness, he saw Su Yin following him obediently. He curled his lips and turned to find a seat.

There were voices everywhere, it was so lively. Su Yin's almond eyes were shining. She looked around and finally stared at the screen in front of her.

Gu Chengan glanced at the girl next to him from time to time. Seeing her fair face was stained with a smile, he went over and said, "This movie is very popular recently."

It's a war-themed movie, but it's newly made. It's said to be different from the previous ones.

"Haven't you seen it?" Su Yin has watched four open-air movies in her life. Three of them showed "Tunnel Warfare" and one showed "White Haired Girl". She has only watched these two movies in total.

"No." Gu Cheng'an was not interested. He had been to the cinema many times since he was a child. When he grew up, his interest had shifted to riding a 28-bar, driving a motorcycle or a jeep, or shooting a gun. He had to wait a little longer to watch movies.

"That's perfect. I've only watched two movies. It's really nice to watch a new one today!"

The movie was shown for a total of one hour and five minutes. When it ended, everyone was still discussing it fiercely.

Gu Cheng'an finished the movie with a lack of interest. He turned around and asked people to leave, but he saw a pair of red eyes, sobbing like a little rabbit, and even the tip of her round nose was red.

At the end of the movie, the soldiers sacrificed themselves to save the military fortress. Su Yin's nose was sore and her eyes were red.

Knowing that Gu Chengan was looking at her, Su Yin hurriedly took out the handkerchief in her pocket and wiped her eyes. Her clear voice was a little hoarse, "Let's go."

The streets were quiet in the evening. The sun had already set. The sky was stained with ink, and the dark clouds blocked the sun.

Su Yin was quiet all the way, but Gu Chengan was a little uncomfortable. He glanced at the people around him from time to time and slowed down his pace unconsciously.

"Ahem..." Gu Cheng'an cleared his throat and stopped. He looked at the woman whose eyes were still red. He opened his lips but didn't know what to say. Finally, he had to put on a stern face and said fiercely, "If you cry again, I won't take you to the movies anymore."

Su Yin was shocked. She couldn't control her emotions when she thought about her grandfather who was fighting in the war. Why didn't he take her to the movies?

On second thought, a movie ticket was only one dime. A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. She raised her head and stared at the man, "I didn't cry."
