Chapter 109 Dating (Part )

May 1st is Labor Day. The weather is nice today. Li Shengli got up early in the morning. It was a sunny day outside with a slight breeze. It was a sunny day.

Li Shengli got up early and went out for some exercise. When he got home, he took out the wild chestnuts he had exchanged from his fellow villagers. He washed them with water first, dried them, made a cross cut on the chestnuts with a knife, boiled them with water for a while, drained them, heated oil in a pan, and fried the chestnuts.

Li Shengli divided the chestnuts into two bags with paper, and then filled a kettle with water and put it into the bags.

Li Shengli walked out of the door with his bag on his back. He ignored Yan Bugui who was fiddling with the plants at his door. Li Shengli locked the door and rode his bike to Han Qiuyun's house.

Yan Bugui raised his head and glanced at Li Shengli's back with some surprise.

He rode his bike to the compound at No. 36 Shuijing Hutong. After entering the compound, Li Shengli had been here several times and was familiar with the people in this compound. When he arrived at Han's house, Li Shengli knocked on the door.

"Shengli, you're here." Old Mrs. Han called out more cordially this time, "Qiuyun, Shengli is here, hurry out."

Han Qiuyu pushed Han Qiuyun out with a giggle.

"Qiuyun." Li Shengli looked at Han Qiuyun with a smile. Today Han Qiuyun was wearing a floral shirt and blue overalls. Simple clothes could not hide Han Qiuyun's good figure.

"Let's go, let's go to the park first, and then go to the movies after dinner." Li Shengli's eyes lit up when he saw Han Qiuyun. Now he no longer had to worry about the child being hungry.

"Brother Shengli, there's me too." Han Qiuyu pretended to be dissatisfied when she saw that Li Shengli only had eyes for her sister.

"Yes, yes, and you, are you ready?" Li Shengli didn't care, this was his future sister-in-law.

"It's been prepared for a long time." Han Qiuyu said excitedly.

"Li Shengli, where are we going?" Han Qiuyun saw that her sister was so happy that she didn't want to interrupt her interest.

"The weather is nice today, how about we go to the park to enjoy the flowers first? I asked around and they said the flowers in Longtan Park are very beautiful." Li Shengli also made a plan for today.

"Okay, you decide." Han Qiuyun didn't know if there were any fun places nearby. She hadn't gone out much since she took over her parents' job. One reason was that there were people at home to take care of, and the other was that it was a bit dangerous for a girl to go out alone.

"Okay, then do as I say." Li Shengli said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Han Qiuyu saw that Li Shengli was only talking to his sister, so he rolled his eyes and pulled his sister to go out.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's go now. Don't push me." Han Qiuyun said to her sister helplessly.

"Grandma, I'll park my bike here for now." Li Shengli greeted Grandma Han and took out a bag of chestnuts from his bag and handed it to Grandma Han, "Grandma, please try the roasted chestnuts I made."

After Old Lady Han took it with a smile, Li Shengli said goodbye to Old Lady Han and chased after the Han sisters.

"Why are you so slow? Are you talking to my grandma about something?" Han Qiuyu waited at the door for a while, and asked curiously when she saw Li Shengli come out.

"No, I can't say anything to the old lady. I just put the bicycle in the yard first." Li Shengli explained with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I also made some roasted chestnuts and left some for the old lady."

"Roasted chestnuts? Do we have any?" Han Qiuyu's eyes lit up when he heard there were roasted chestnuts.

"Qiuyu." Han Qiuyun tugged at her sister's clothes to signal her not to be so rude.

"Yes, how can yours be missing?" Li Shengli took out a paper bag from his bag like a magician, "Come, try it, it's still hot." Han Qiuyu took it without hesitation and opened the paper bag. The aroma of the hot roasted chestnuts immediately attracted her attention.

Han Qiuyu picked up a chestnut, opened it with his hands and put it into his mouth. He took a bite and his mouth was filled with the aroma of chestnut.

"Sister, you try it too." Han Qiuyu handed the chestnuts to his sister like offering a treasure.

Han Qiuyun looked at Li Shengli with embarrassment, took the chestnuts handed over by her sister and said, "Thank you, Li Shengli."

"Oh, don't be polite to me." Li Shengli waved his hand, "Qiuyun, we are so familiar with each other, you can just call me Shengli, you don't have to call me by my full name."

Li Shengli called Han Qiuyun affectionately, and Han Qiuyun did not object, which meant that Han Qiuyun was not against Li Shengli.

"Okay, I get it, victory." Han Qiuyun said after a long sigh.

Li Shengli nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. This intimate way of addressing someone means that their relationship is close.

The three of them first went to the nearby Workers' Cinema.

"Qiuyun, Qiuyu, what movie do you want to watch?" Li Shengli asked the two of them while looking at the today's movies written on the small blackboard in front of the cinema.

"There are two movies this afternoon, one is 'The Guest on the Iceberg' and the other is 'Little Soldier Zhang Ga'. Which one do you want to watch?" Li Shengli gave the choice to the Han sisters.

"Sister, which one should we watch?" Han Qiuyu couldn't make up her mind.

"You can watch whichever one you want." Han Qiuyun didn't have any good ideas, "Shengli, you decide which one to watch."

"I'd like to watch any movie with you." Lee Seung-ri said sweetly with a smile.

Han Qiuyun smiled shyly and said nothing. Han Qiuyu said sourly, "Let's watch 'The Visitor on the Iceberg'."

"Okay." Li Shengli had no objection. It didn't matter to him which movie it was. Li Shengli went to the ticket seller and paid an extra dime to buy three tickets with better seats.

"Three tickets for 'The Guest on the Iceberg' start showing at 3:20. No more waiting after the expiration date." The ticket seller said to Li Shengli as he wrote the show time and seat number on the movie ticket.

Li Shengli thanked him and took the ticket from the salesperson.

"Let's go to the park first and then watch a movie in the afternoon." Li Shengli said, waving the movie ticket in his hand.

The three of them walked slowly towards Longtan Park, stopping and starting, talking and laughing along the way, and the relationship between Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun became much closer.

When they arrived at the park, it was the day when all the flowers were in full bloom. The three of them entered the park. Sophora japonica, magnolia, rose, and chrysanthemum were all in full bloom. Other flowers such as jasmine, osmanthus, honeysuckle, and many other flowers that Li Shengli had never seen were also in full bloom. Han Qiuyu still had the mentality of a child and could not help lingering among the flowers.

Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun smiled at each other and relaxed, and the atmosphere between them became better.

"Sister, come here too." Han Qiuyu called Han Qiuyun from a flower bush not far away. Li Shengli smiled, put his hands behind his back, pretended to be a gentleman and extended his hand to invite her. Han Qiuyun smiled relaxedly and came to Han Qiuyu with Li Shengli.

"Sister, look how beautiful these flowers are." Han Qiuyu said, pointing at the flowers.
