Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Station
On the street, one, two, all kinds of people, their faces are different colors, cheerful, helpless, confused, like a bunch of moving ants crowded at the intersection, from time to time looking down to sweep their mobile phones or watches waiting for the red light to turn green office workers, drivers and hawkers who go out early to make a living, young parents who send their children to school, elderly grandparents or maternal grandparents, and then their eyes move to the lights that decide whether they stop or go. It seems that he is ready to rush across the other side in the next moment, similar to the common one, Lu Yan knows it well, he has seen it many times, and at a certain time in the past, he was also one of them, maybe the mood at that time was more eager than them.
He has always felt that the train station is his lucky place, a few years ago, when waiting in a long line to buy tickets, he received a call from Zhang Jizhong, and thus began his official career as an actor, although now because of the hurry, the train has become the second choice of transportation, but for the train, especially the hard seat, he still has a deep nostalgia, because he does not know, there is no intersection, what is said, what he talks, what everyone presents, is the most real, today, he still sets his goal at the train station.
There were still two or three miles away from the station, he got off the train, even though there could be more people of different professions gathered there, but for him, the process was the most important, and he hurriedly ran over, walked around, turned around for half a day, what he saw, what he obtained, was not all his purpose, there were always some people who had to stop here because they forgot something important, or simply had a problem with the car, and had to stop in this area, seeking other remedies.
Airplanes are still a luxury for most people, and in recent days, many flights have been postponed due to heavy snowfall in the north, and most people who have been working abroad for a year to return home have to choose the train as a slower but relatively safe tool.
"Hey, Jinan's Jinan hurried to get in the car"
"Nanjing, Nanjing, just two people left...."
"Big brother, the accommodation is not.... Don't go, there are beautiful women to accompany you..... College students and daughters-in-law have ....."
"Well, I'm at the train station, I'll be home tomorrow afternoon, I'll be at half past eight in the evening..... Well, I know, I know, well, okay, there are a lot of people, I'll hang up first."
Noisy and chaotic, pulling boxes and bags, talking and laughing on the phone, saying goodbye and reuniting, like a movie and more real than a movie, scene by scene in front of the eyes, approaching, the first to fall into the eye, is still a few extremely down-dressed old men and old ladies holding broken bowls or broken basins, pinching a smooth wooden stick, only reluctantly and whispering, walking one after another, stopping in front of the stay, most of them turned their heads or simply changed places, and those who could not wipe their faces, true and kind, took out their wallets very happily, Put the two hairs that have fallen in the corner for a long time and can't go out because of a long time of pressing and grinding and looking extremely flat into the pot, and the harvest is not very clear and may not be sincere, but it is self-absorbed in the soul.
Lu Yan casually found a place to squat, carefully observing everyone and everything, crying, laughing, real, false, and so on, occasionally, he saw one or two dishonest people who wanted to do something, and would follow to see, not to learn the craft, it was not easy to make money, and this one went in and out to take away the blood and sweat that others had been busy with for several months, which was too damaging to Yin Virtue.
He didn't shout or scream, he couldn't figure out if the other party had accomplices, but when the other party stretched out his hand, he patted him on the shoulder: "Dude, borrow a fire." ”
He knew from Lu Yan's eyes that he had been caught, compared their physiques, weighed them in his heart, estimated that the odds were not good, glared at him fiercely, waved his hand and walked away, Lu Yan smiled at the young girl and walked in the other direction.
"Hey, those two people were so weird just now."
"Little girl, they're helping you, but the first one is beating your idea."
"Ah, uncle, you found out a long time ago?"
"Heh.... Nor is it .... Just seen, just seen."
"Young man, give me some money" lowered his head, his face couldn't be seen clearly, but his tone was not downcast, and he was probably a little more justified because he had become a profession.
"Thank you" It seemed that he hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days, he snorted weakly, and walked away again, and gradually, a few more similarly dressed people bypassed the "customers" they might have missed from all around, and went straight to Lu Yan, a young man who was very likely to have a second kindness.
It's not that Lu Yan doesn't understand that most of these people are pitiful and pretended, but if there is a decent choice, no one wants to brave the cold weather to come out and do such an unseemly thing.
Far away, the young man who had been "borrowed the fire" by Lu Yan had gathered four or five people of the same age, unhurried and seemed to hesitate to go to his side, on their faces, after not being blocked from the way of wealth, they were about to take revenge or be happy, and they were used to living in the shadows, and suddenly they wanted to stand under the big sun, and they always had to convince themselves in their hearts first.
Lu Yan has been paying attention to the surroundings, he is not here to go home or send people away, pure aimless wandering, looking at people and things, seeing that it can't be done, he stretched out his hand and called a car, one or two He consciously took a few punches and kicks can always deal with it, four or five people don't leave is a problem with their brains, most of the police are unrealistic, they didn't catch dirt on the spot, and the law can't do anything about them, besides, those who can eat this bowl of rice don't necessarily care about the brother-in-law or the second cousin.
Halfway through, he changed his path again, cheap godmother Pan Hong suddenly called, let the past sit down, in his heart, he was reluctant, although he was a godmother and son in name, but in essence, he didn't know what she liked and what she was taboo, her past experience, and her personality and temper were not so kind and kind as Zhao Kui'e, just like the role she played in the play, most of the time, her rigor was not only for herself, but also for outsiders, and Zhao Wei, who has always been likable, always touched nails at her, he didn't feel that he really had any charm worthy of her appreciation.
In terms of reason, he can't help but go, Pan Hong knows that he is not busy, he is an old-timer, a godmother, qualified, influential, and has a very good personal relationship with Zhao Kui'e and his wife, this trip is inevitable, in his heart, he has some other plans, I am not afraid that he will not be able to spare time after the year, it is better to take advantage of the idle these days, and go through all the ones who should go and visit, the relationship is weak, and it will be embarrassing to open his mouth again, it is all difficult to operate, and it is also the basis for him to go smoothly in the past and go wider in the future.
"Xiao Yan is here, what's the matter, you don't recognize me as a godmother after filming, don't you? Hey, what are you doing with these when you come to your godmother, I'm very happy if you can come" Pan Hong wanted to teach him a lesson with a straight face, but he couldn't get angry either in his heart or on his face, Lu Yan had always been polite on the surface, but it was this politeness that made her realize that he didn't really treat her as a relative, she knew very well that feelings were cultivated little by little, she hadn't paid for it, and he had taken care of his feelings when he came.
"It's not a valuable thing, just some fruits and cosmetics, I heard from a friend that this brand is good, you can try it" Pan Hong is not short of money, or she is very rich, she can't see ordinary things, he can only buy her according to a few brands commonly used by Zhao Kui'e, which is not expensive, but it is more or less a heart, after all, even if it is out of courtesy, he can't come empty-handed.
Pan Hong stretched out his hand to take the things he was carrying, and said, "Don't stand stupidly, come, go and sit in the house."
Entering the door, Lu Yan glanced at the clean living room and said, "I'll change my shoes first, I just turned around outside and got a little mud", the layout of Pan Hong's house is similar to Liu Tao's, different places are cleaner, the ground is wiped and even reflects the light, and when he is ready to change shoes, there is only a pair of women's small-sized slippers on the shoe rack.
Pan Hong saw the reason for his hesitation from his momentary sluggishness, and said: "Look at what you said, you really treat yourself as an outsider, and it is not right to be a mother to clean up her son's heels."
