Chapter 374 Nanyang-style life (first update, please subscribe)
Although there was no wake-up call at the weekend farming site, Zhao Deliang still got up early, and after breakfast in the cafeteria, he rushed When I arrived at the nearby bus stop, I waited for a while. Although I didn't wait for the bus, a tricycle came. I asked the driver if he was on his way, and Zhao Deliang jumped on the tricycle.
We changed cars again in the middle, and it took Zhao Deliang an hour and a half to arrive at King's School. He originally wanted to visit his younger siblings, but he learned from the guard that the school had organized the children to go camping.
"Then please give these things to Zhao Maotou from Class 48 when they come back. He is my brother and tell him that I came to see him."
And the guard After a few words of warning, Zhao Deliang was a little disappointed and walked towards the nearby bus stop. The nearest bus stop was a full 2 kilometers away. This was to avoid being disturbed by the outside environment.
"Really, I finally had a holiday, but I never thought that Mao Tou and the others were not here..."
Thinking about not seeing Mao Tou and the others for more than a month, Zhao Deliang couldn't help but sigh - a lonely soul There is always a need for emotional placebo. Being in a foreign land, this emotional need becomes even stronger.
After leaving school, Zhao Deliang did not go to the city. He didn't like shopping very much, and he didn't even go to a teahouse.
On the way back to the reclamation point, while sitting in the car, he saw the "Thirteenth Hospital" written on the carriage stop, and he couldn't help but think of the foreign nurse in front of his eyes.
“How about going to the hospital?”
More than two hours later, Zhao Deliang arrived at the hospital. When he was about to enter the hospital, he saw the flower shop next to the door.
"In the movie, it seems that flowers are given to women."
Thinking about the scene he had seen in the movie, Zhao Deliang walked into the flower shop after thinking about it,
"Boss, buy flowers."
"Are you visiting the patient, or sending..."
The flower shop owner looked at Zhao Deliang and said.
"It must be for women, just give roses, just give them roses."
"Then give them roses."
Soon, Zhao Deliang was holding a bouquet in his hand Bright roses entered the door of the hospital. He felt the eyes around him, both Western and Eastern nurses, were looking at him. Most of the nurses in the hospital are from abroad, and their smiling eyes are full of curiosity.
Who is this flower for?
Zhao Deliang also felt a little uncomfortable being watched, but he still focused on his destination.
Soon I came to the nurse station and found Nurse Mary.
Zhao Deliang, holding flowers in his hand, looked a little reserved and nervous when facing the head nurse Mary. He handed her the flowers, his voice trembling slightly:
"This flower is for you, thank you..."
Mother Mary took the flowers and looked at him nervously and seriously. I couldn't help but smile. She asked in somewhat stiff Chinese:
"What should you write about me?"
Zhao Deliang looked straight at her, he took a deep breath and replied firmly:
"Thank you for saving me, to express my gratitude , I hope to treat you to dinner."
Mary said, holding flowers in her hands.
"Six o'clock, I...mix it at six o'clock."
...
The eldest daughter’s first experience in a sedan chair, her first time eating alone with a woman, and her first time shopping.
Although Xihai is not as prosperous as Chang'an, Xihai is still a city that never sleeps at night. After the two of them finished dinner, the lights were already on the streets when they walked out.
The two of them just walked slowly and leisurely. Since Mary has been here for two years, she has been the guide more often than not.
“That’s a movie theater there. I heard that the film currently showing is “Temporary Couple” produced by Zhang Film Company. The newspaper said that this movie is a comedy and it looks very interesting...”
Following the direction of Mary's finger, Zhao Deliang said when he saw the long queue in front of the cinema. "It's still early anyway, why don't we go see a movie together."
Mary did not refuse the man's invitation, and soon they entered the cinema, and the screening room was filled with excitement. It's dark because there's no one here. So there are no usheres, so just sit wherever you can.
Under the guidance of Mary, they sat in the middle row. The location is just right, not too far or too close.
Movies soon began to be screened. In the past few years, the film industry also took shape in Nanyang. The first few film companies were co-founded by retired military photographers. In the past two years, some film industry professionals from Tangshan have opened film companies in Nanyang. Although Nanyang only has a population of more than 10 million, there are now more than 40 large and small cinemas. There are new movies released every month. This "Temporary Couple" reflects the story of a man and woman from Tangshan who pretended to be a couple and immigrated to Nanyang in order to get high salaries. After immigrating to Nanyang, many interesting things happened in Nanyang. In the end, the fakery naturally became real and everyone was happy.
It is said to be a comedy, but in fact it is just for some kind of publicity, to promote how happy and stable life here is.
After all, this movie will also be released in Tangshan, and the movie is also a kind of immigration propaganda.
Zhao Deliang doesn’t care at all about the content of the movie. Or maybe he doesn’t even know what the movie is about?
In fact, since Mary sat down next to him, he has been a little distracted. Even without speaking. His nose also smelled the faint smell of perfume, and the fragrance of the woman made him feel like there were insects crawling through his heart.
Occasionally when Mary laughed because of the plot of the movie, their arms accidentally touched, making him feel his heartbeat speeding up. The whole person became a little dazed. He remained motionless in the darkness, sitting upright on the chair. Noticing his nervousness, Mary couldn't help laughing, but a warm and soft little hand had already stretched out, pressing his hand and saying.
"Relax, just watch a movie."
Zhao Deliang held this hand tightly. Mary's voice came to his ears:
"Are you holding my hand like this because you are afraid that I will run away?"
When the woman's words rang in his ears, Zhao Deliang only felt His heart felt numb, and half of his body became numb. His whole body became airy, and then he became even more absent-minded. As for why everyone was laughing, and what was so funny, he didn't know, although he couldn't see it in the dark. I knew Mary's appearance clearly, but I could hear her laughter and smell her fragrance.
All of this is so fascinating.
Finally, after watching a movie that lasted for more than 40 minutes, the two of them left the cinema. Where were they going next?
The two of them were shopping and talking about previous movies. Soon they walked to the park. Beautiful songs came from the park, and many people danced there under the dazzling lights.
"There is an open-air dance in the park, held every day..."
Mary took a look and said.
“Ah, I know, I saw it in the newspaper, saying that many factories will organize workers to participate in dances. This is, social, yes, social...”
In fact, what is the biggest use of this kind of open-air dance party?
Give single female workers and male workers the opportunity to have individual contact. After all, large-scale dinner parties are costly, and single men and women may not necessarily have the opportunity to have direct contact. But only with the opportunity of contact can it be possible to get married, have children, and reproduce the next generation.
It turns out that the dance is very successful. Many single men and women have found their significant other here. Of course, the union also needs to do some things, such as teaching male and female workers to dance, and this is also Dancing has become very popular in Borneo and has even become a part of many people's lives.
Many community activity centers in Nanyang... are actually an open space with a dance floor paved with wooden boards, where people gather to celebrate festivals or weddings.
So much so that some newspapers in Tangshan described the dance as a certain way of life in Nanyang. The supporters were naturally envious. After all, in Tangshan, the dance was exclusive to the upper class, and there were also some opponents. The accusation is that this is a corrupt voice that leads to the degeneration of workers.
However, whether it is criticism or support from the outside world. It will not have any impact on Nanyang, if anyone locally questions it. I will definitely give you a boat ticket.
"Zhao, can you dance?"
Mary turned around and asked.
"I..."
Before Zhao Deliang could speak, Mary took his hand and said.
"Let's go dancing together, I'll teach you..."
That night, Mary was undoubtedly very happy. She just took Zhao Deliang to dance with the cheerful music at the ball. She couldn't even remember the last time she danced. Was it before the war? Maybe.
That night, Mary was the queen of this open-air dance. She was a full 1.66 meters tall. Among a group of Japanese girls who were only about 1.5 meters tall, she undoubtedly stood out. Her height and His figure made countless Japanese women look envious. When they noticed that the men around them seemed to be staring at him, they all grabbed the men's arms for fear that the men around them would leave them.
God bless, men are their tickets to stay in Nanyang, to stay in this paradise on earth!
The reason why they came here after get off work is to put it bluntly, to find a man who can help them stay in Nanyang and stay in this paradise. After all, foreigners need to pay a price if they want to stay in paradise, and their price is to marry...
