Chapter 101 Wang Shuo, Fare Evader
The cinemas in Yanjing are different from those in other cities.
Most of them are theaters renovated, such as Jiaodaokou, Hongxing, Xinjiekou, Daguanlou, and Xidan Theater. Basically, there will be theatrical performances during the breaks when there are no movie screenings.
At this time, Jiaodaokou Cinema.
Billboards are hung on both sides of the square and above the lintel. The posters of "Wrangler" are colorful and the most eye-catching.
At the ticket office, many people came to watch.
In addition to those who have bought advance tickets, there are also people who buy, exchange and refund tickets. There is a constant flow of people.
Among the crowd, a ticket seller mingled in and kept shouting: "Do you want tickets! Tickets for "Wrangler"!"
Fang Yan held Fang Yan's hand, and the two of them Looking at Han Yuemin and Fang Hong from the left, Yang Xia from the right, they just had a melon in their hands to eat.
"Hello, auntie, I am Fang Hong's coworker."
Han Yuemin bent down slightly, his voice trembling.
Yang Xia looked him up and down with a straight face, as if she wanted to see into his heart, and kept asking questions like a machine gun on her mouth.
Family background, work status...
Han Yuemin's whole body was stiff and his expression was tense, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and his mind went blank as he answered.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward and slightly funny, Fang Yan called Fang Hong and Fang Yan and patted Han Yuemin on the shoulder:
"It's time to check in, let's go buy something to eat."
"Yes! Yes!"
Han Yuemin and Fang Hong were about to run away as if they were granted amnesty.
"Yaya stay and let Xiaoya go buy it."
Yang Xia said expressionlessly, "Mom has something to talk to you about."
Seeing Fang Hong's eyes pleading for help, Fang Yan smiled and said, "Mom, Su Ya should stay, her classmates and friends haven't arrived yet."
Su Ya understood and helped Fang Hong cover up.
“Yaya and Xiaoya are staying.”
Yang Xia glared at Fang Yan and asked them to buy snacks.
Between the ticket gate and the screening room, people selling various snacks have already occupied their seats, and the sounds of selling are coming and going.
Several elderly ladies were sitting in the small maza, chatting when there was no business, and happily doing business when there was business.
"Peanuts, the small cup costs 5 cents and the large cup 10 cents."
"Then let me get 8 large cups."
Fang Yan said: "I'll buy it There are so many, you have to be sharp.”
“Yes!”
The old lady was so happy that she held the old man's small wine glass as a measuring stick and poured the peanuts into the cone-shaped corner made of newspaper.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Fang Yan took the paper cup and shouted with honey on her mouth.
“Oh, you are so sweet, please forgive me a little more.”
The old lady’s hands were not shaking, and the portion was very generous.
"Brother Han, don't be stunned, help me."
Fang Yan glanced at the nervous Han Yuemin.
"Yanzi, how do you think I behaved just now?"
Han Yuemin's forehead was sweating and he kept breathing deeply.
Fang Yan interrupted: "It's absolutely terrible!"
Fang Yan said: "Look, my sister has noticed it."
Han Yuemin panicked, "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Brother Han, don't even see me My mother was so nervous."
Fang Yan comforted him a few words and then pointed.
Fang Yan didn't mind watching the excitement and joked: "If you still don't understand, just watch "The Wrangler" a few more times. If it doesn't work, I'll lend you Qiong Yao's novel to learn how to do it. At..."
"You are the only one who knows better."
Fang Yan glared at the little girl, making her dare not speak.
Learn Qiong Yao?
Learn from He Shuhuan, "I am not the only man in the world who is attracted by two women." Or learn from Yunfan, "You only lost one leg. Where is Ziling? She gave it up for you." It's love." It was really like thunder rolling from the sky, and my worldview exploded!
After Han Yuemin adjusted his mentality, the three of them came back and saw Bai Ruoxue, Tang Shengnan and others all present, saying in unison:
"Teacher Fang!"
"Haha."
When Yang Xia saw so many Yanda students calling her son "teacher", her tense face suddenly relaxed and her eyebrows were filled with joy.
Fang Yan said hello and suddenly noticed that Tang Shengnan was holding a cane and Bai Ruoxue was pushing a wheelchair. The person sitting in the wheelchair turned out to be Qiu Peining. The thick plaster on her right foot had been removed.
“We meet again!”
"Yeah, I really didn't expect to see you here again."
Seeing that Fang Yan and Qiu Peining looked like they knew each other, Bai Ruoxue and Tang Shengnan looked at each other, with the fire of gossip burning in their eyes.
"You... are you okay?"
Fang Yan laughed and said, "It seems like we shouldn't be here."
Qiu Peining said optimistically: " I’m almost done with it and can already take two steps in the ground.”
"It's been a hundred days since my muscles and bones were broken. It won't be so easy to recover."
Fang Yan glanced at it, right? After all this, why are you still going to watch a movie?
"Yes, that's what I said, but Sister Qiu is coming, so we have to let her." Tang Shengnan glanced at her.
"Sister Qiu has been in the hospital for too long and is exhausted. I heard from us that there is such excitement today, so naturally I don’t want to miss it."
Bai Ruoxue said with a smile: "Besides, a while ago Sister Qiu received the "Wrangler" novel signed by Teacher Fang. Now that the "Wrangler" movie is premiering, she will definitely come to support it. ”
"Yes, Ruoxue is right!"
Qiu Peining pursed her lips, "Thank you for your signature."
"I also want to thank you for coming to support me today."
< br>Fang Yan distributed the paper cups filled with peanuts to three people. Watching him leave, Qiu Peining looked at her best friend resentfully, "Why did you just say everything to him?"
"Sister Qiu, are you embarrassed to talk about us?"
Tang Shengnan asked curiously: "Tell me honestly, why are you so familiar with Teacher Fang! How did you two know each other!"
"I I also want to know." Bai Ruoxue said quietly.
“Yeah, it’s time to check in. Let’s go in quickly.”
Qiu Peining pushed the wheelchair, “I’ll tell you when I get back.”
There was a long queue at the ticket gate and it was a mess.
The staff stood in two rows at the door to check tickets. Such tight security was naturally to prevent people from entering the venue by evading fares.
"Why are those people so sneaky? Could they be thieves?"
Qiu Peining pointed at the figure wandering at the west entrance of the cinema.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but be extremely vigilant.
"Don't worry, they are not paying for it."
The dialect said firmly: "Those are evading fares."
"Fare evasion!"
Qiu Peining, Bai Ruoxue and others suddenly realized.
Fang Yan nodded, lowered his voice and said that the west entrance is actually the side door of the theater, which is the entrance and exit for the staff. It is usually locked, but no matter how tight the door is, there are always gaps.
What's more, it's still an old wooden door.
After one person passes the ticket check, he passes the ticket through the gap in the door and hands it to others from the inside. In this cycle, everyone can take advantage of the chaos and enter with one ticket.
“How do you know so clearly?”
Qiu Peining and others cast doubtful glances.
“I come here often to watch movies, and I always encounter something like this.”
Before Fang Yan could open his mouth, Fang Hong shook his head and said.
“Is there no one to catch them?”
Qiu Peining was surprised.
"Why not? Just wait and watch the good show."
After being told by the dialect, the group of people came to the cinema with curiosity and sat in the designated seats. , looking around.
The seats were packed, and ticket evaders were consciously scattered throughout the aisles, either standing or sitting on the floor. Several people took turns sitting in the same seat, and when the time came, they would change people.
As long as it can be watched as a movie, I can risk anything.
But the good times did not last long. The movie had been playing for more than 20 minutes, and the excitement was just about to begin. A burst of noise came from the front row.
"Attention, everyone!"
"Please take out your movie tickets and check them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several flashlight beams were illuminated from both sides of the aisle toward each row of seats. In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar.
“So this is the good show he said.”
Qiu Peining felt novel and blinked.
Bai Ruoxue murmured: "Now we will catch them all."
Seeing the spectators who had evaded fares and entered the cinema, they panicked and ran away one by one in a panic, but the exit was blocked. Guarded by staff, there was almost no possibility of escape.
"Brother!"
Fang Yan was startled when she saw a figure jumping over.
Fang Yan immediately protected his little sister. Before he could take action, he saw the man ducking behind a chair and saying, "Brother, do me a favor and take your sister's seat." Give me a seat for you adults and children. The ticket inspector won’t say anything.” Stare at him.
"Only once or twice. This time I really wanted to see "The Wrangler", but I couldn't get a ticket, so I decided to do this."
The man lowered his voice: "Brother, help me this time If you're busy, come find me at the pharmaceutical company another day and I'll treat you to dinner."
Because they were back to back, Fangyan couldn't see the person's face clearly.
In normal times, you may turn a blind eye, but in front of your little sister, you must not set a wrong example for her or teach a bad child.
"Swallow, this is yours, what do you think we should do?"
"Uncle, auntie, there is a fare evader here!"
Fang Yan felt her brother's encouraging eyes and shouted out.
Suddenly, the staff heard the sound and came.
“You bastard!”
The man was so excited that he didn’t care about getting angry and ran away.
Hey, what a coincidence, isn’t this Wang Shuo!
He is the "hooligan" who wrote "The Stubborn Lord" and promoted ruffian literature.
Fang Yan saw his profile clearly and was greatly surprised.
While stunned, Wang Shuo had already run towards Qiu Peining and saw Qiu Peining and Tang Shengnan exchanging glances. Tang Shengnan immediately stopped him with his crutch and secretly tripped him.
“Oh, I’ll go!”
The whole person almost fell down and fell into pieces.
Just like that, Wang Shuo was caught red-handed.
Seeing him being driven away in embarrassment, Bai Ruoxue and Su Ya praised Fang Yan for doing well and for being well taught at home.
"Well done, this is my sister's reward for you!"
Qiu Peining took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee.
"Wow, white rabbit!!"
Fang Yan's eyes shone and she swallowed, "Thank you, sister."
Fang Yan touched the little sister's head and praised: "Swallow, You did the right thing just now. My mother, my sister and I didn’t hurt you in vain.”
