Chapter 10

Tang Yu heard a slightly sad harmonica sound, which reminded him of when he was in junior high school, when he and his cousin were meditating on the dirt slope in the suburbs, he listened to his cousin's harmonica, looked at the fields and rice waves under the slope, breathed the fragrance of the black soil of his hometown, and experienced the comfortable and itchy feeling of the warm sun shining on his skin. He can always be in such a simple and beautiful time, forget that jì was blocked at the school gate by the class's handle, forget that jì scored more than a dozen points on the math paper and was laughed at by his classmates and teachers, and forget that his mother chased him with a rolling pin to the alley and scolded. The gentle and natural, healing people and things made him forget a lot of unhappiness and accompanied him through his carefree youth.

But this kind of time is also easy to ignore, in fact, any good memories in this world need to be cherished, seriously experienced, carefully cared for, and carefully cherished. Because when we stop and look back, the tireless pendulum, the never-ending flow of time, has left mottled rust and irreparable scars on the track of memory.

I want to keep it, I want to hold on to it, but I can't go back. What I can't go back to is my childhood, my youth, my childhood home, and the one I once knew and loved.

At this time, he was surprised to find that the most precious thing was the simple life that he often neglected.

The harmonica sound became more and more sad, and the Tang language in the dream was moved by the music, and the qi qi experienced by Tang Yu made him extremely sensitive to sad feelings, and he had a great resonance with the sound of the piano, and he couldn't help but moisten his eye sockets.

Tang Yu struggled to open his eyes, the pain in the back of his neck made him sit up with a little difficulty, he looked around the empty dormitory, and saw a familiar figure by the window in the corner, Gu Li leaned against the window, looked out the window, playing an exotic tune, half of his body fell into the shadow blocked by the wall, making his whole person look quiet and dull, with a taste of depression that was not commensurate with his age, and a decadent texture.

Tang Yu rubbed the corners of his eyes, looked at Gu Li in a daze, and didn't dare to say a word to spoil the atmosphere at the moment.

This picture is more like the one in the next class when every ignorant, shy, and timid gay boy secretly peeped at him in junior high school.

Desks, chairs, lecterns, blackboards, the cool basketball captain, and the young first love......

But apparently, this qiē is just a dream.

The door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open, Ji Xiaobei's voice shattered the middle-aged man's fantasy, and Tang Yu fell from the classroom full of fresh sprinkling smell to the migrant workers' dormitory full of sweat and smell.

"Big brother! Are you awake? Feeling better? No matter how you scream this morning, I can't wake you up, I was scared, I wanted to take you to the hospital, Xiaoliu said that you went out with him last night to have a wind, you caught a cold, just take some cold medicine, I just bought medicine and came back, come, eat some. Ji Xiaobei's mouth has not been idle since he entered the house, poured a glass of warm water, sat on the edge of the bed, and handed the medicine to Tang Yu's mouth.

Tang Yu, who had just fallen into reality, was a little physiologically uncomfortable in the face of the qiē in front of him. He rubbed the back of his aching neck, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, who hit him in the back? Or was it hit by something falling down? He glanced at Gu Li with the tail of his eyes, a little weak.

Tang Yu pushed away Ji Xiaobei's medicine and said, "I'm not sick, I don't need to take medicine." ”

"Not sick? Why can't you fall asleep if you're not sick? Ji Xiaobei reached out and touched Tang Yu's forehead, it was not hot, there was no fever.

"If you want to be lazy, it's okay, you don't care, I'll go out to work in a while." Tang Yu stood up neatly and moved his neck twice, so that Ji Xiaobei could see clearly that he was not sick.

"Oh, it's okay, then I'll go out and wait for you first." Ji Xiaobei packed up the medicine and turned his head to look at Gu Li, "Little Liu, the eldest brother is fine, hurry up and go out to work, don't delay your work, it's a lot of money a day." ”

Gu Li, who was in the corner, put his overalls jacket on his shoulders and walked out of the shadows, passing by Tang Yu and glancing at him, his cold and calm little eyes made Tang Yu, who had a ghost in his heart, want to howl wolf. Tang Yu's mouth opened twice, but he didn't let out a fart.

He has no position, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and runs out to follow people, and the young man is afraid that he thinks he is a pervert.

Tang Yu sighed a few times of depression, quickly cleaned up, and followed Gu Li's ass to the construction site.

***

During the work on the construction site, Yan Shan took a few leaves, he went to the photo studio to take a star photo, wore a martial arts uniform and posed for Bruce Lee's signature style, and laundered 200 photos with the remaining money. Yan Shan went to the gate of the Beijing Film Studio and squatted for a day, no matter who it was, he would send it when he saw someone, even the aunt who sold pancakes and fruits next to him.

This is Tang Yu's idea for him, Yan Shan will be suspicious, but he has no money or power, and he doesn't know anyone, so he can't think of any better way at present, only a dead horse as a live horse doctor, give it a try.

What he didn't expect was that within two days, someone really contacted him, saying that it was a newly filmed costume martial arts drama that needed an extras who could fight and fall.

Yan Shan didn't sleep all night excitedly, and got up and went to the set in the early morning.

The character's scene is only 5 seconds, and he doesn't leak his face, but he filmed for half an hour, because the director always felt that the fall was not enough, not ruthless, and unreal.

There are five extras who appear at the same time, all of whom are cult minions who are about to be knocked away by the hero's magical skills. The other four people are unwilling to really fall, and the effect of the shooting is not painful or itchy, only Yan Shan asks the protagonist to kick and fight, and he is also a real fall. He feels that filming must be real and credible, and be serious, otherwise he will be sorry for the audience.

What's more, he wants the director to notice him, and next time he has such an opportunity, he will be willing to look for him.

After filming, the director really said to him: Yes.

The director may have said this sentence casually, but to Yan Shan's ears, it made him happier than picking up 10,000 yuan, and he was extremely excited. No matter how painful the fall is, he is willing.

Yan Shan took the labor fee of 40 yuan, and his eyes were hot with excitement, although this money was not much, it was the first salary he earned as an actor! If there is a first time, there must be a second time, today it is an extra, tomorrow it may be a supporting role, and then it will be the protagonist! Yan Shan feels that his future is bright.

This kind of happiness can't be enjoyed alone, Yan Shan didn't forget his brother who shared weal and butter with him, he spent all 40 yuan in labor fees, bought cooked food and wine, and drank with his brothers until the second half of the night.

When he woke up the next day, Yan Shan saw a tube of ointment for bruises on the pillow, and squeezed out a few drops of cat urine without interest.

Later, Yan Shan's luck seemed to improve, and in more than a month, he received several similar roles. The best time, Yan Shan played a show on the street, the camera flashed by, it was positive, although it was not even a second, but after all, he missed his face! Yan Shan showed off to the workers in the house for a long time, and finally everyone was annoyed when he heard it, and he hid when he saw him.

How can there be a worker who always asks for leave, and the team talked to Yan Shan once, and told him that if he asks for leave again, he will leave, Yan Shan hesitated.

The construction site has a meticulous division of labor, and there is a contractor who is specifically responsible for the material area, everyone calls him Lao Wu, and Tang Yu is familiar with him because of an accident. But this accident has nothing to do with him, it is Jin Wei.

Lao Wu is a relative of the foreman of the main frame contractor of the construction site, and when he finished work at night, he walked with the people on the team to the scaffolding in the venue area, and a worker accidentally touched the box when he was packing up the toolbox, and almost hit Lao Wu's head.

In order to thank Jin Wei, Lao Wu invited their brothers to the hotel for a good meal, and also took out 2,000 yuan to Jin Wei to express his gratitude. Jin Wei was very short of money, and his brothers were also short of money, and when he saw two thousand yuan, his eyes lit up, like a hungry wolf. Jin Wei hesitated for a moment and resigned.

Tang Yu was not surprised that Jin Wei would do this, Jin Wei was an upright and resolute person, he didn't save people for money, it was completely out of instinct, this was an act within his ability, it was not enough to worry about it at all, he felt that it was very interesting for Lao Wu to invite them to dinner and thank him. Giving such a huge sum of money, Jin Wei felt empty and hot when he took it. He still likes the hard-earned money with his own ability, although the money is small, but he is down-to-earth.

Maybe others will think he is stupid, dead-headed, and immutable. But this is the quality of our Northeast men, they are stupid and cute, stupid and principled.

Tang Yu sometimes thinks that people are really amazing animals, on the one hand, they despise the behavior of people like Jin Wei, and feel that they will definitely choose not to suffer losses if they are themselves, and they must take advantage of a small advantage, and they will not take it for nothing, and despise him for this kind of saintly behavior. On the other hand, I like to be friends with such a man and am willing to be close to him, because he is safe, loyal, upright, trustworthy, and he has the good qualities of being a good friend.

When did selfishness become the new trend in society? Tang Yu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Of course, no one at today's dinner table will criticize Jin Wei's behavior, Lao Wu appreciates Jin Wei, and his brothers are proud of Jin Wei. A few people who were originally submissive also straightened their backs, and they had the confidence to speak, and suddenly rose up a sense of pride in being a Northeast master, as a new generation of migrant workers, and as a North Drifter who was roaming in Beijing.

He remembered that when he first stepped into Beijing, in the subway, he listened to the tone of two locals commenting on the Northeast people, and he was very disdainful and contemptuous, which meant that the Northeast people were very bad, especially not very good, and they beat people at every turn. It is worthless to devalue the Northeast people, and almost demonizes the Northeast people.

At that time, their cognition was that the people in the Northeast were all five big and three thick, all of them were like Li Kui, one person could eat one pot of rice, one person could drink ten bottles of beer and two bottles of liquor, and after drinking, they liked to lift the table, scold their mother when they opened their mouths, and beat people when they stretched out their hands. Chase people all over the street with a kitchen knife all day long.

If it weren't for Tang Yu hearing it with his own ears, he couldn't believe that someone could make such remarks without blushing and heartbeat, their voices are not small, and they say things that are colorful, damaging people and burying people without dirty words, but they are civilized!

At that time, Tang Yu was young, his psychological endurance was not strong enough, he was angry, but he didn't have the courage to reason with others, he was afraid that people would say: Look, this is the Siberian Tiger! So Tang Yu endured it, with a trace of imperceptible inferiority complex, and began his life in Jingpiao.

In fact, there are good and bad people everywhere, don't beat the Northeast people to death, no, today Jin Wei has established a good image for the Northeast people, and he has a big face.

That night, Tang Yu drank too much and talked a lot, shaking out many of the things he had encountered in the past, and everyone knew that he had come to Beijing to wander around, and they didn't think much about it.

Later, Lao Wu drove them back to the construction site in a big car, and it was Gu Li who carried Tang Yu back to the dormitory, and when Tang Yu was put on the bed, Tang Yu suddenly hugged Gu Li and vomited on him.

However, Tang Yu didn't remember this at all the next day.

"If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." No one expected that it was precisely because of this opportunity that the butterfly effect could bring earth-shaking changes to Jin Wei's life in the future.

Although Jin Wei didn't take Lao Wu's 2,000 yuan, he got a more precious thing, that is, good popularity.

It didn't take long for Lao Wu to find Jin Wei again and tell him that he had a friend who worked in a foreign company, and the company was recruiting security guards, and he wanted to find a man with good character, good physique, and who could fight, so Lao Wu thought of Jin Wei.

The treatment of foreign companies is very good, giving 2,000 yuan a month, signing a formal employee contract, four insurances and one housing fund, which is a lot. Jin Wei was tempted.

Coincidentally, Jin Wei and Yan Shan had the "motive" to leave the construction site at the same time.

Besides, the fate of Tang Yu and Lao Wu is also because of Jin Wei. Lao Wu is 35 years old this year, and compared to other young men, Tang Yu, who is in his early thirties, is the closest to him, has the most topics, and chats very speculatively.

After that meal, Tang Yu intentionally and often, took the initiative to contact Lao Wu, wanting to learn more about the contractor team from him, which can't be blamed for him for doing everything with a purpose, he is poor, he needs money urgently, he wants to get rich, he doesn't want to let go of any possible opportunity.

It was precisely because Tang Yu took the initiative this time that he seized the opportunity and quickly got the first pot of gold after his rebirth.
