Chapter 183 Enjoy the moment
Qi Bin specifically sought advice from different people about what activities a couple should do when they go out together.
If you ask ten people this, at least eight of them will tell you to go to the movies.
In this case, Qi Bin must of course listen to the opinions of the broad masses of working people and invite his partner to go to the movies.
Although there is only one cinema in the entire county, it is not a holiday now, and even couples who go out to watch movies late at night are not as many as in later generations.
So after Qi Bin led Gu Wan into the theater, he found that there were only a few people sitting there. He originally thought that it was a mistake on his part to invite someone to watch a movie.
But when the lights dimmed, Qi Bin finally realized the benefits that others had mentioned.
Well, as for these, they are experiences that can only be understood but not described.
And it felt really good. In fact, not only Qi Bin, but Gu Wan also felt the same way.
For a moment, she changed her mind. It would be nice to just have a simple love affair with someone.
Anyway, she is not the type who is love-brained and her whole world revolves around men.
At this stage, Qi Bin likes her sincere kindness to her, and she also has the same feeling towards Qi Bin.
Enjoy the present moment, that's enough.
Qi Bin is a very careful man. Although he doesn't know the exact reason, he can deeply feel that Wanwan's attitude seems to have changed at this moment.
Originally, he put some melon seeds in the palm of one hand so that his partner could eat while watching the movie.
At this moment, he boldly used his free hand to grab Gu Wan's hand dishonestly. It turned out that the cinema was a great place to go with your partner.
Wanwan's skin is very white and her little hands are very soft, as if they have no bones, completely different from the roughness of grown men.
Qi Bin sighed: "That's great."
Gu Wan rolled her eyes. Fortunately, the light in the cinema was very dim at that time, so even her boyfriend didn’t see it.
Just out of curiosity, Gu Wan asked quietly: "Did you watch movies often before?"
Qi Bin nodded: "Yes."
He had served in the military before, and was a member of a high-level special forces unit, where their regular entertainment was watching movies.
Also, when I lived with my grandfather, I definitely enjoyed some privileges, as I could see him almost once a week.
Gu Wan raised an eyebrow, and when he spoke again, his tone became a little gloomy: "Did you watch this alone?"
"of course not."
Before I could get angry, I heard Qi Bin continue, "Most of the time I watched it with my grandfather, and sometimes I watched it with my comrades."
Gu Wan suddenly realized that she was overthinking and felt a little embarrassed, but she also decided that it was her manly fault.
When it comes to the relationship between men and women, a woman cannot be wrong. Even if she is wrong, the man should be the first to admit his mistake!
A movie only takes an hour and a half in total. It's autumn now and it gets dark late, so the weather outside is still good.
Qi Bin was reluctant to part with Gu Wan so early. Anyway, he had planned to stay in the county town tonight and had already said hello to the Gu family before coming out.
Gu Wan didn't think so much about it. He just felt that the two people were on equal footing and should be interactive.
Since Qi Bin invited her to watch a movie, it was only right for her to treat him to a meal in return. However, not long after they walked out of the cinema, Gu Wan urgently called a halt, causing Qi Bin to think something had happened.
"What's wrong?" Qi Bin asked nervously.
Gu Wan's eyes sparkled as he pointed to the scrap collection station across the street and said, "Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can find a lot of good stuff."
Not to mention the book she traveled through, it is mentioned in many period texts, and the koi heroines and supporting actresses can often pick up treasures in this place.
Gu Wan didn’t know how lucky she was, but she wanted to see if she could buy some books there.
It's not just about helping the villagers get books to read, but also about seeing if I can find some test questions or related materials, so as to prepare for the college entrance examination in advance.
She also bought some books in the system mall, but the review materials were not comprehensive, and some of them did not necessarily correspond to the textbooks of this era.
Since people were unable to take the college entrance examination a few years ago, many people became discouraged, and as a result, many related books and materials ended up in purchasing stations.
There is no shortage of old books and notes in the scrap collection station, and the items may even be more complete than those in the bookstore.
So Gu Wan took Qi Bin to the scrap collection station and looked for what they needed among a pile of smelly and messy things.
Qi Bin didn't know that Gu Wan was thinking about the college entrance examination which would be resumed in a few years. He thought she just wanted to find some information related to medicinal materials. He knew that many of the books that Uncle Gu read were brought back by Wanwan.
Therefore, Qi Bin just searched in a targeted manner, unlike Gu Wan who would accept any good book he saw.
Gu Wan was flipping through a math workbook in his hand. He noticed Qi Bin pushed a few books to the other side and took them to take a look.
"Oh, the comic book of Journey to the West. This is a good thing."
Gu Wan took out these books, dusted off the dust, and opened them to take a look.
Except for some graffiti by the original book owners, the rest of the parts are well preserved and do not affect the overall reading of the book.
So she asked Qi Bin: "Look, how many comic strips like this are there?"
Gu Wan moved closer and lowered his voice and said, "If you can collect one or two sets, you can take them back and show them to the children in the village."
She currently does not have the ability or conditions to teach all the children in the village to read and learn to read, but it is also very good to cultivate children's reading habits from some small things.
Qi Bin didn’t know what his girlfriend wanted to do, but he would always unconditionally support whatever Wanwan wanted to do.
So he carefully flipped through the books at hand, "One set is enough, I guess I can put together half a set, right?"
"That's fine. Take a look and see if there are any other similar ones."
Gu Wan then explained, "The books here are cheap, so it doesn't matter if they are a little dirty or torn. We can slowly repair and sort them out when we get back. But these things will be priceless treasures for them when we bring them back to the team."
Maybe Gu Wan just spoke subconsciously, but the word "we" from her mouth made Qi Bin feel particularly happy.
I also had more energy and squatted in this smelly place to work hard.
He deliberately mentioned many other books first, and finally Gu Wan emphasized: "If there are junior high school and high school textbooks and notebooks with learning value, I want them too."
These are what she really needs most.
