Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi walked around until dark before they remembered to go home to cook. However, it would be too late to go home now, so they went to a state-owned restaurant to buy some dishes for dinner.

The two men rode their bicycles to the state-owned restaurant. At this time, the employees of the state-owned restaurant were about to get off work, so they asked the waiter if they could pack up a few meals. The waiter could only say to ask the chef first.

After a while, the waiter responded, "Okay, the kitchen can prepare two more dishes - stir-fried shredded potatoes and pork dregs, and scrambled eggs with cucumber." Bai Zhizhi winked at Lu Chuan and asked him to pay.

After paying the bill, the two sat at the table and waited for the chef to prepare the food.

Because at that time the take-out boxes of state-owned restaurants were wrapped in greaseproof paper, so you had to either bring your own lunch box or eat in the restaurant.

Soon, the two packed up the food and went home. Lu Chuan hung the food on the front of the bike, while Bai Zhizhi hugged Lu Chuan's waist in the back seat. The two rode on the way home. The street lights emitted a dim light, illuminating their figures.

"Today's dinner is quite simple. Let's go to the kitchen and make some fried bacon with garlic sprouts. We should eat less later. If it's not enough, we can go into the space to eat in the evening." Bai Zhizhi said softly.

"Well, I'll get up early tomorrow to buy groceries and make a sumptuous meal for my grandparents." Lu Chuan smiled.

The two chatted all the way and arrived home unknowingly. They walked into the house and saw several dishes on the table (stir-fried lettuce, pork belly with sour beans, carrots with bacon, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes). The two greeted everyone, and Lu Chuan put the food he had bought on the table, and the whole family prepared to enjoy this warm dinner time together.

Although it was just a simple meal, they enjoyed it very much, their laughter echoed in the room. At this moment, it seemed that they forgot all their troubles and only focused on each other's company.

After dinner, Lu Chuan took the initiative to clean up the dishes, while Grandpa Lu and Father Lu sat on the sofa reading newspapers. Under the light, Bai Zhizhi was watching Mother Lu knitting a sweater beside the sofa. She glanced at Lu Chuan, who looked gentle and virtuous. After washing, Lu Chuan's eyes lingered on her from time to time. Sitting next to Bai Zhizhi, both of them felt that their hearts were filled with happiness.

"Lu Chuan, look, there's a piece of news here saying there's a new movie coming out in the cinema. We'll be back next week, so let's go to the cinema and watch a movie tomorrow." Bai Zhizhi came over with the newspaper, sat next to Lu Chuan and asked coquettishly.

"Let's go see it together." Lu Chuan responded lovingly.

Grandma Lu and the others also agreed and asked the young couple to go watch a movie together.

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, "Grandma, why don't you go to the movies with grandpa and us tomorrow? Mom, do you want to go? If you do, you'll have to ask for leave, and your salary will be deducted, but our family hasn't watched a movie together for a long time." He put down the newspaper and held Bai Zhizhi's hand, "Thank you, what happened just now made me realize the family situation. I'm very happy that you quickly integrated into the Lu family. At least there is one more person who makes me feel the warmth of home.

When Mother Lu heard her youngest son asking her to take a leave to go to the movies, she felt it was not worth it, so she refused Lu Chuan's question. Grandma Lu also refused, using the excuse of her old age.

Bai Zhizhi blushed, "We are a family, no need to be so polite." She leaned on Lu Chuan's shoulder, enjoying the contents of the newspaper together, looking forward to a better life in the future. Suddenly, Lu Chuan seemed to have thought of something, he raised his head and said to Bai Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, do you still remember the open-air movies we watched in the village when we were young?" Bai Zhizhi nodded and recalled: "Of course I remember, we were still children at that time, and we followed the adults to move small stools to watch movies." Lu Chuan smiled, "Yes, although the movies at that time were not as good as the current ones, they had a special atmosphere. I think we can relive that feeling."

Bai Zhizhi's eyes lit up, "Okay, then after I give birth to the baby, let's find some time to watch an open-air movie." Lu Chuan turned on the radio, which was playing a melodious song. The two listened quietly, feeling the tranquility and warmth.

As the night deepened, they fell asleep in each other's arms, hoping that every day in the future would be as happy as this.

Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi got up, had breakfast, and rode their bicycles out to the cinema, which was also the only cinema in Beijing. They bought tickets and Lu Chuan also bought a bag of popcorn and corn kernels. They found a quiet corner, sat down and ate while waiting for the movie to start.

Sitting in the cinema, I always feel like I am asking for money. The movie started after a while. The black and white picture carries the traces of time, and the familiar music evokes childhood memories.

Bai Zhizhi leaned on Lu Chuan's shoulder, immersed in the plot of the movie. As the movie progressed, the audience burst into laughter or exclamations from time to time, and the breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Lu Chuan quietly held Bai Zhizhi's hand.

After the movie ended, people left the square one after another. Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi strolled in the night, talking about the plot of the movie.

"Thank you, Lu Chuan, for giving me such a wonderful celebration night." Bai Zhizhi looked at him affectionately.

"This is what I should do. As long as you are happy." Lu Chuan stroked her hair gently.

Their figures gradually walked away and disappeared in the moonlight, leaving behind full of happiness and expectations for the future.
