The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 903 The second child appears
"Here you go, Lao Xing, it's so early today~!"

On Liulichang Bookstore Street, under the attic of Wenhui, a time-honored bookstore, the middle-aged man had just parked his cart at the door and recognized the waiter who was putting the newly delivered newspapers and magazines on the shelves.

Compared to the snobbery Jiang Defu met last time, the clerk in this store was pretty good. He greeted him with a warm face and helped him move the cart to a position out of the way.

"Hey~, thank you, I happen to have something to do today, so I stopped by to see if there is anything new in "Movie Culture"~!"

After parking the cart, the middle-aged man who came from Maidian Village patted the dust on his palms and looked at the ever-changing bookstore street. Finally, his eyes focused on the bookstore sign.

It seems that he is also a regular customer here.

"What a coincidence. The publisher just sent it yesterday and left a copy especially for you. There have been a lot of new movies released recently. When the projectionist goes back, let him show the new ones to the folks. Let’s have a change of taste~!”

Maybe it's because of the middle-aged man's status and the fact that he would rather dig into his own pocket for the spiritual sustenance of the big guys in the village. This kind of person makes people admire him from the bottom of his heart.

Now, I finally know why the villagers respect him so much. Although he is not a movie projectionist, he is still responsible for connecting with others in this area. People know in advance what movies to watch every week. In the village, how many movies are there? Also considered number one.

"Oh~, I just said, it's time to come~!"

"Xiao Chen, you must have read it in advance. Tell me the latest ones. I have to go back in a hurry and don't have time to read them. So I just went to the street to tell them~!"

With one hand on the counter, the middle-aged man leaned against the corner, looking at the furnishings in the room that had not changed much. From time to time, he peeked outside the door through the reflection of the glass counter.

Pedestrians are bustling, and the bookstore street has been crowded with people since daytime. Retired cadres and workers who got up early to buy newspapers and magazines, and ordinary people standing outside the door, printing newspaper cover stories.

There was nothing unusual at all. While his back was turned to the outside, no one else looked at him with unnecessary eyes. What was more, the newspaper covers gathered on the glass window outside the door.

"I didn't have time. I originally thought about taking it home to watch last night, but my child just came back from school. I was worried that she would look back and see it, which would affect her study. However, someone in our bookstore recently went to see the film "Big Li Xiaoli" produced by Shanghai Film Studio. and Lao Li", and there is also "At the Gate" produced by Changchun Film Studio. The latter is said to be quite good, a war movie~!"

The clerk squatting down and digging in the bookcase didn't pay attention to the little movements of the middle-aged man at the counter. The bookstore has been open for a long time, so there are many regular customers like this. Each person keeps one or two books, and there is something stuffed under the counter. No more.

"The title of "The Enemy" sounds good. Folks just like to watch wars. "Tunnel War" has been released so many times, but there are still many folks who like to watch it~!"

No special circumstances occurred, and the middle-aged man's tense spine gradually relaxed. At this time, he absentmindedly ignored the waiter's words, took out the money from his pocket, counted two and a half cents, and put it on the counter.

"Hey, just two cents is enough. We are all regular customers. I told the boss yesterday that they were closed yesterday. This book has not been sold. It is cheaper to deal with it~!"

After finding the black-and-white magazine that middle-aged people must buy once a month, the young man picked up two banknotes, covered the five-cent steel coin, pushed it back, covered his mouth with his backhand, and quietly talked to the middle-aged man. He said coquettishly and gestured with his eyes.

"Xiao Chen, here's a copy of today's Beijing Morning News~!"

"Hey, come on, Lao Xing, take it and get to work quickly. Next time, I'll stick to the old rules and leave them for you~!"

The middle-aged man picked up the magazine and nodded, but the five cents that the clerk pushed over the counter remained untouched. Instead of putting them back in his pocket, he pushed them to the counter and fell on the stack of books pulled out from under the bookcase. , then turned and left.

After working for a long time, when the clerk turned over and came back, he saw the extra five cents on the pile of books. He shook his head with a smile and put it in his pocket.

The middle-aged man who had already left long ago was sitting in a corner of the bookstore street, with his legs crossed and the "Film Culture" magazine still smelling of ink spread on his lap, reading the printed copy. A rather crude magazine. Why is it said to be inferior? Although it is a magazine like a book, it is only sixteen pages in size. Inside are some black and white movie promotion covers. When you flip it over, there is an introduction to the movie, and a slightly more professional interpretation of the story inside.

For film practitioners, in many cases, for example, if you want to go to the countryside, you can read books on this subject. While showing the movie to the audience, you can stand by the curtain and explain to everyone. After all, urban and rural audiences, There are some differences in cultural level.

Therefore, people who do well in movies are generally more articulate and have certain cultural background. If you copy the content of Xu Damao's speech, you can see that they are much more professional than Liu Haizhong.

The middle-aged man, Lao Xing, looked very carefully, as if he had lost all interest in the outside world. Every time he turned a page, his index finger would touch his lips. When he found something suitable, he would fold it deliberately. It seemed that he wanted to The villagers also took great pains to arrange the movie.

"Hmm~!"

Until he turned to one of the pages, the middle-aged man seemed to have discovered something that interested him. He, who was still immersed in the book just now, looked around and changed his sitting position. The entire magazine was placed on his knees. Instead, he held it up, covering his face just right.

The middle-aged man's eyes were fixed on the movie poster in the magazine. Whether it was a printing error or intentional, three black triangles were printed in the corner of the character introduction.

Right above the triangle is a supporting character in the movie, whose name is Lao Er.

"Second dick~!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly lowered. There were still more than ten pages of the magazine, so he didn't read it carefully. Instead, he closed it and quickly rolled it up and inserted it into his trouser pocket.

It can be seen from his reaction that the possibility of printing errors is relatively small, but the probability of reminding certain people.

After adjusting his shirt and patting the dust on his buttocks, Lao Xing got on the cart again and slowly moved forward in the turbulent flow of people. When passing by the townhouses on the side of the road, he glanced at the Flower pots on the windowsill.

"Fortunately, I didn't miss it~!"

When the middle-aged man Lao Xing saw the flower pot, his eyes were very natural. He just glanced at it without attracting anyone's attention. After arriving at the intersection, he chose to get on the main road and started gliding all the way to the west. .

On the main road at this time, the rush hour for work has passed. Both the pedestrians on the road and the number of people on the bus have decreased a lot. The speed of the trolley gradually increased until they reached the zoo in Xicheng.

You know, the destination of his trip today was the steel rolling mill in Dongzhimen. However, he didn't even pass by it, and now he ended up at the zoo in Xicheng.

He parked the trolley at the parking lot at the entrance of the zoo. He had not eaten breakfast, bought a pack of biscuits from the supply and marketing agency at the entrance, and walked straight in.

After seeing an unattended bench, a slightly tired middle-aged man chose to sit down and rest. After opening the packaging bag of the biscuits, he started to eat them raw.

The movie magazine that might reveal his identity has long since disappeared. The middle-aged man just faced the lake in the distance, eating cookies, and moved his butt from time to time, from the middle of the bench to the edge of the bench. .

When no one was around, he slowly reached under the bench. After a moment, he pulled out a steel nail from the bench with his bare hands.

When the steel nail was twisted open, the truth was completely revealed. It turned out to be a special nail. There was something inside the nail. The middle-aged man quickly knocked it on the palm of his hand, and a nail fell out. Rolled up paper.

"Sesame Hutong, lock repair shop~!"

After looking at the pick-up list in his hand, the middle-aged man quickly opened the packaging paper of the biscuits and stuffed the pick-up list inside. The special nail returned to its original place.
