It's so noisy today. Read the novel to.

This is how Song Pingguo and Lei Qiu felt when they walked together.

The village is not too big, and there are people who grow fruit trees like Leiqiu's parents, as well as cotton and tea—all of which are made by Leiqiu, and it is winter, and most of the fields are empty, and it is impossible to tell what has been planted.

Song Pingguo tightened her neckline and enjoyed the refreshing rural scenery, while Lei Qiu kept thinking about how to eat the chicken she caught yesterday.

If it was in Song Pingguo's rental house, or Song Pingguo's house who lived for a short time, what Lei Qiu wanted to eat most was actually roast chicken. Stuff the chicken belly with toppings such as onions and potatoes, sprinkle with spices and bake whole in the oven...... It's delicious just to think about.

However, Leiqiu's hometown does not have the kind of household oven that can roast chicken, only a mini small oven that Leiqiu bought in the supermarket when he came back last time, toasting bread, baked cakes, steamed bread slices or something, but don't think about roast chicken.

According to the rules of Leiqiu's hometown, the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" is not eaten at night, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, you will have breakfast and lunch casually, and then start eating "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo went back from outside, Qiu Yichen was preparing the dishes to eat in the afternoon, Lei Xiaotian was assigned to work because of his bad deeds in the kitchen, and the chicken that Lei Qiu had been thinking about all the way was already lying on the plate at the moment.

"Fry it."

When she saw the good ingredients, Song Pingguo's excitement was no less than that of Lei Qiu's appearance when she saw the food, she excitedly turned out a pot from the cabinet, tied the processed chicken with thread, put it into the pot whole, added green onions, ginger and garlic and began to cook.

Regarding Song Pingguo's cooking level, Lei Qiu has long been accustomed to no longer expressing any opinions, only being an audience and a diner.

After about 20 minutes, Song Pingguo poked a lot of holes in the cooked chicken with a toothpick, and waited for the fat to flow out slowly.

"Take it." She didn't know where to find two small brushes, "Brush the soy sauce on them, everywhere." ”

The thin layer of soy sauce on the chicken skin would easily dry out, so Song Pingguo brushed the dried part again, and after going back and forth several times, she finally stopped and put the chicken in the hot oil pot.

The iron pot at home is not big enough to fry it well everywhere, so Song Pingguo stood by the stove, scooping up a spoonful of hot oil with a spoon from time to time and pouring it on the part that could not be fried, and occasionally turning it over to the side to continue frying.

"Alright, it's time to get out of the pot." When Song Pingguo lowered his head and turned off the fire, Lei Qiu handed over a plate of the right size at the right time.

This dish is undoubtedly the most popular on today's table, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without any superfluous flavor, only the seasoning of soy sauce and the aroma of the chicken itself, and four people gnaw a chicken cleanly, leaving only a skeleton.

Because the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten at noon, people here have another activity at night, that is, to get together to play cards, do not gamble money only to see wins and losses, some play mahjong and some play poker, just playing cards can kill most of the night.

Lei Xiaotian and Qiu Yichen both took melon seed tea cups and went out to play cards, leaving only Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo at home, both of whom were not interested in watching the Spring Festival Gala, and they were not interested in staying up late for Chinese New Year's Eve.

So after a short discussion, the two people, who were usually very sleepless, agreed to lie down and sleep directly.

Raichu wasn't actually lacking sleep for a while. First of all, I can't wait to sleep directly until the afternoon every day, and then after a few days of regular life of going to bed early and getting up early, no matter how hard I worked a while ago, it should be adjusted.

She just likes such a calm and almost stagnant time, listening to the sound of Song Pingguo's breathing in her arms slowly becoming longer, and the mind full of chaotic thoughts during the day is empty and empty again, and while entering a relaxed state of not thinking about anything, she falls asleep unconsciously.

Raichu is a person who unconsciously responds to the expectations of those around her. Everyone likes the simple and straightforward Raichu, and she is used to never revealing her heart, and any complex thoughts that need to be tangled only stay in her mind, and there is no channel for catharsis.

In this way, sweeping away all the unnecessary things in his mind on every quiet night when he embraces his lover is one of the things that makes Raichu feel happiest.

After waking up one morning, Lei Qiu couldn't help but share the happy moments he found in his life with Song Pingguo, Song Pingguo lay on the pillow, frowned and listened to her, and slapped her in the face: "So aren't you just in a daze before going to bed?!" ”

“…… Indeed. ”

"Oh my God." Song Pingguo turned over, "I am really charming to make someone as dull as you realize that you like me." ”

Fruit growers can't be idle even in winter, and if they don't take good care of these trees in winter, they won't give you a good harvest in the coming year. Therefore, even on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lei Xiaotian only slept a little longer than usual, so he changed his clothes, put on gloves, and carried a shovel to the orchard.

Lei Qiu heard the noise made by his father when he went out, and he also crept up from the bed, and was dragged by Song Pingguo to the corner of his pajamas.

"Sleep a little longer......"

"You go back to sleep, I'm going to do my dad a favor."

Song Pingguo grabbed the mobile phone she had placed on the bedside and glanced at the time and today's temperature.

"Raichu, sometimes your image is so tall that I feel a little ashamed of myself."

"Alright, you lie down and sleep, and continue to look at my tall image in your dreams!" Raichu quickly put on his coat, "I'm leaving!" ”

It's colder in the countryside than in the cities. Every time she came back for the New Year, Raichu wanted to deepen her understanding of this sentence. She couldn't wait to do some physical work to warm up.

"Actually, I like this kind of work." Raichu pressed the shovel down hard, and couldn't help but raise a hand to his mouth and breathe the heat, "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Sounds like you've been getting little reward for your recent efforts?" Lei Xiaotian took off the leather gloves on his hand and threw them to Lei Qiu, took out a pair of cloth gloves from his pocket and put them on himself, "The problem is, as long as you are willing to work hard, anyone can do it, and in the end, it all depends on God's eyes to eat, if the harvest is good, you will be full, and if the harvest is bad, you will be hungry, if you have a choice, who is willing to do this." ”

"Then if there is a choice, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to be a singer and act in a movie again, if nothing else, it's definitely hotter than you."

After digging a ditch next to the tree, Lei Xiaotian instructed Lei Qiu to put all the fallen leaves on the ground into the ditch, then fill it with soil, and then walk to another tree and continue the process.

The two of them worked in the orchard for most of the morning, and only returned home with a cold air near noon, waiting for Qiu Yichen and Song Pingguo to bring the hot meal to the table.

"Ahh Raichu stretched exaggeratedly at the table, "It feels like a family!" ”

Song Pingguo, who was stir-frying in front of the stove, blushed, held her headscarf, and just wanted to turn her head and glare at her, but saw that Qiu Yichen had already taken the lead and stuffed a piece of cut apple into Lei Qiu's mouth: "It's as if you weren't born to me and your father, and I won't give you food if you talk nonsense." ”

Mother's love is greatness. Song Pingguo thought as she pushed the dish onto the plate. If only I had just shoved a whole apple into her mouth.

But...... Song Pingguo actually felt from the bottom of her heart that she really felt like a family.

As a chef, she is most exposed to firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, and most of the time, cooking makes her feel not the warmth of home, but the busyness and tension of work.

But when she was cooking in the kitchen at home, Rachu was always waiting at the table in the dining room with great interest, always sneaking into the kitchen from time to time to ask for a bite, always shouting coquettishly that she was hungry, could Little Apple hurry up......

This feeling is not contradictory to the feeling of wanting to pick up an apple and stuff it directly into her mouth, Song Pingguo often has both feelings at the same time.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lei Qiu received a call from Gong Xiaoye.

This time, Gong Xiao didn't mention the issue of weight loss again, but told her the time of filming straight to the point, so that she remembered to come back from her hometown.

"Filming will start as soon as the Spring Festival holiday is over? Okay, no problem, I'll get back early, it's only an afternoon anyway. Raichu stood in the doorway and flipped through the calendar hanging on the wall, "I said, why do you keep playing this set, can you give me the script well and let me finish studying it before starting filming?" ”

Gong Xiao also disagreed with Lei Qiu's accusation: "Didn't the old man still sing and give you the script in advance?" Later, when you were filming Devouring the World, you played well, and the script didn't affect your acting skills at all! ”

…… For the first time, Lei Qiu realized that he had signed a contract with such an unreliable rich second generation, and now it is too late to break the contract.

"Raichu, I'll ask you a question sternly." Gong Xiao also seemed a little nervous, "Are you afraid of the dark?" ”

This question really stunned Raichu.

It stands to reason that she is not afraid, when there are no street lights in the village, she dares to go out alone to deliver things to the neighbors, walking at night is a part of her daily life, unless it is so dark that she can't even see the road clearly, otherwise she will not think about whether she is afraid of the dark.

But after that incident, Raichu deeply realized that the human fear of darkness is buried deep in the genes and cannot be shaken off for a lifetime.

Raichu is quite bold enough to walk in the dark, but if she is deprived of her vision and let her sink into the darkness where she can't see any light, she will realize that she is still afraid of the dark.

At first she thought it was nothing, because she was still standing in her familiar environment, she knew what was on her left hand side and what was on her right hand, she knew how to walk from the living room to the toilet, she knew where the microwave was in the kitchen, and she knew the whole structure of the house well, so she was not afraid—like a person who might not be able to memorize the letters on the keyboard in order, but whose body's memory allows him to do blind typing without realizing it.

Just give the person a keyboard that is too different in size than the one he's used to, or simply shuffle the order of the letters, and he won't be able to do that anymore.

On the second day of his blindfolded life, Rachu felt helpless as soon as he got out of bed. With her familiarity with her home, she managed to find the bathroom to wash up, and then began to consider whether to go out.

From the moment she walked out of the house, she fell into complete darkness, and she realized that this fear was not only because of the light and darkness, but also because the human eye could not see clearly in the dark, and after being deprived of vision, she finally felt her insignificance as an ordinary mammal in heaven and earth.

Rachu felt that the most important thing to play well was security, and the darkness could completely isolate her from the world, depriving her of all security.

Of course, for Gong Xiaoye's question, Lei Qiu rarely thinks about it so complicated, but this time she knew from Gong Xiaoye's tone on the other end of the phone that she had to face it seriously.

"I'm afraid of the dark."

"Then ......" Gong Xiao also hissed and inhaled, as if he was very embarrassed, "How to say it, I don't know if it's better to be afraid of the dark or not afraid of the dark...... Well...... The main reason is that I haven't figured out how to make this movie, and I don't want the director to play freely......"

Lei Qiu interrupted Gong Xiaoye's self-talk: "Then you are suing me, what kind of movie is this, why is it so troublesome?" ”

"No, I'm going to hold on until the last minute, keep it mysterious, and only when I say it will be enough to surprise me......"

"How can anyone like you?"

Lei Qiu wanted to speak again, but saw Song Pingguo beside him gesturing to her to hand over the microphone. Song Pingguo took the microphone with a smile and gently comforted Gong Xiaoye: "Gong Xiaoye, do you still want to eat delicious food?" ”

"Yes! Think! Gong Xiao also woke up from his own world, "You give the phone to Lei Qiu, and I promise to tell her all - or turn on speakerphone?" ”

Song Pingguo put the phone on the table, pressed the speakerphone, Gong Xiao also cleared his throat, and asked the two of them solemnly: "Do you know "Buried Alive"?" ”

Many movie lovers may know the fame of this movie, there is only a simple scene in the whole film, the male protagonist is buried alive in a coffin, trying to use the tools around him to survive and get in touch with the outside world......

Linked to Gong Xiaoye's attitude and the questions she asked before, Lei Qiu probably realized what kind of movie Gong Xiao also wanted to make.

"Of course, we can't shoot like we were buried alive, the plot I conceived in advance is like this, there are only two main characters, one is the director and the other is the actor......"

In Gong Xiaoye's conception, the crew renovated the basement of a residential house to shoot a horror film, and when filming one of the scenes, the director asked the actors to stay alone in the basement, and the camera would shoot in the dark.

Of course, the actor agreed to such an overly request, but when she wanted to push the door out after the performance, she found that the door was locked.

In the ending of "Buried Alive", the male protagonist who is struggling on the death line hears the news that the FBI has found him and waits with anticipation, only to be told that the FBI has found another person, and he will be buried alive in a coffin under the sand, dying in pain.

In this "Basement", which Gong Xiao is also responsible for providing the conception, the heroine tries her best to escape from the locked basement, but finds that outside the door is not a human civilized society, but a wilderness.

Just when she was about to give up her escape, the director and the rest of the crew suddenly appeared, took her to a safe place, and told her that this was actually a plan they had arranged, and compared to the heroine's "not good" acting skills, it was obvious that the real scene of her survival in despair was more moving.

The heroine is naturally angry at first, but the director's persuasion allows her to use the camera footage from the basement in the film - in fact, almost the entire film will be done with these shots, because the actors and directors of "The Basement" are going to make a film that is roughly similar to "The Basement" itself, with only one person performing a one-man show in the basement.

It's a nested story, and to sum it up, it's that the actor has to play the actor and the actor.

At the end of the story, the film was applauded and acclaimed, won an international award, and the heroine, the director and the rest of the crew shook hands and made peace, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Except for the scene at the beginning, the whole film is almost a one-man show for the protagonist, and the protagonist is always in a dark basement - the film simply provides a stage for the protagonist to show off his skills.

Song Pingguo's thoughts after listening to the synopsis of the story are: "The ending of this movie is really incredible, and the heroine's heart is too big, right?" ”

"Ouch, wouldn't it be nice to have a happy ending, so that everyone is happy!"

…… Can this also be considered a happy ending? Song Pingguo began to doubt her taste as an audience.

Raichu's thoughts were: "Huh? So what are you worried about? If I'm afraid of the dark, then of course I can act very realistically, and if I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm calm in the dark, and of course I can act...... I'm very worried about a problem, you won't collude with the director to really lock me up, right? ”

"How can it be, then you can't tear me alive after you come out. Even if you don't tear your little apple, it will tear it. ”

After hanging up the phone, Raichu clutched his phone and stood there in a daze, as if he was struggling with something.

"What's the matter, I'm really worried that Gong Xiao will lock you inside?"

"No, I'm thinking, according to Gong Touer, the heroine should be an actor with terrible acting skills?" Raichu thought seriously, "Little Apple, you say, is it a person with good acting skills who can play a person with bad acting skills, or a person with bad acting skills who can play a person with bad acting skills?" ”

"Don't think about it, and banish it from your mind when you go to bed tonight, Reichu the philosopher."
