Chapter 17: Returning Home

The unexpected encounter with Liu Han made the originally boring and boring six-hour drive lively. Although Ning Qingzhou actively echoed Liu Han and recalled the high-blooded and innocent high school days with many emotions, in essence, for Ning Qingzhou, Liu Han was a strange beauty who took the initiative to talk to him at the station, which also completely confirmed the sentence "There is no such good thing on the earth".

Based on this psychology, chatting with Liu Han has an extra layer of fun, and because of the identity of the other party's screenwriter, Ning Qingzhou is not worried that they will have no topic at all, they can be funny and funny, and they can also be lyrical and artistic, both of them are doing work related to imagination, and any topic can derive infinite possibilities, such as the question of "time has an intangible quality" that they are talking about now starts from the baked cake shop at the gate of their high school.

Liu Han: "Actually, the passage of time comes with sound, when I read a book, it is the bell of class, after work it is the sound of the alarm clock, and now, it is the sound of a 'clang, clang' of the train. (smiley)"

Ning Qingzhou: "This is synaesthesia? ”

Liu Han: "It's a metaphor. ”

Ning Qingzhou: "Uh...... All right. ”

Liu Han: "Originally, since you are going to be a screenwriter, you must have heard the phrase 'stories are metaphors of life', which is what a godfather of the screenwriting industry in the West said. ”

Ning Qingzhou: "Why do you want to go to the west, in the same way, our ancestors have long said that everything is learned, and the practice of human feelings is the article." ”

Liu Han was speechless for a while, and replied: "Uh...... All right. ”

This was followed by a technical pause, like a train changing tracks, a subtle silence.

After a while, Liu Han replied: "Ning Qingzhou, I'm going to get off the train when I get off the station, I ask you a question before getting off, how should I hint at you, and you will take the initiative to ask me for my phone number?" ”

Ning Qingzhou: "...... I really forgot to chat, classmate Liu Han, is it inconvenient to leave a number? ”

"It's not convenient today."

"Haha, pun! I didn't run this time! ”

Yoo Han replied with a tapping emoji, then attached his phone number.

On the whole, Ning Qingzhou's trip home was very pleasant, the time was not long, and the intention was still unfinished, of course, Ning Qingzhou would not have any superfluous thoughts because Liu Han took the initiative to leave the number, in fact, a girl can talk with you with ease, and even implement anti-flirtation, which basically means that when she faces you, her heartbeat is within the normal frequency range, in the words of the screenwriter, it is "no emotional drama".

"Don't be superstitious about rhetoric." When Liu Han got out of the car, Ning Qingzhou replied to her in a ghostly manner, which is an experience he summed up when he was a screenwriter, and it is also a mistake that many newcomers who have just entered the industry are prone to make.

Brilliant writing and storytelling are completely different things, and the relationship between figurative thinking and abstract thinking involved in this is very confusing.

20 minutes later, the train arrived at Mingzhu Station, Ning Qingzhou was just about to get up to take his suitcase, Ning Qingzhou's eldest brother called, it seemed that he had calculated the time.

"Haven't you reached the pearl yet?" Naturally, there is no need for any greetings between brothers, Ning Lang asked directly.

Ning Qingzhou replied, "Just got out of the car." ”

"Okay, you go to the bus station and take a bus directly to Round Town, and I'll ride a motorcycle over now."

Ning Qingzhou heard Ning Lang turn around and say, "It's time for Mingzhu", it should be to Ning's father and Ning's mother, and said into the phone: "Okay, gather in Yuanzhen." ”

The bus station is not far from the railway station, cross a road and walk four or five hundred meters to arrive, Ning Qingzhou dragged his suitcase and walked over, along the way people kept asking him where he was going, whether he wanted to send it or something, and he also met a sneaky young man who asked him if he wanted to buy a mobile phone.

Ning Qingzhou didn't say a word, and went to the bus station to buy a ticket.

Mingzhu to Yuanzhen is an hour and twenty minutes away, Ning Qingzhou got off the bus at almost half past four in the afternoon, he stood at the three-fork street entrance of Yuanzhen, relying on the impression on the photo to search for Ning Lang, fortunately, someone soon called him: "Qingzhou!" "Ning Lang found him first.

The most difficult level of the Blue Star has officially arrived.

"Big brother, do you know about my breakup with Jing Man?" Ning Qingzhou decided to take the initiative.

"My mom told me he found a Xinhai local?" Ning Lang's tone began to be unkind: "If you don't want to be in the New Year, I'll go to Xinhai to have a look." ”

Of course, Ning Qingzhou could hear the violence in Ning Lang's words, thinking that it was a habit of protecting his younger brother that he had developed since he was a child, and said with a busy smile: "Break up peacefully, I also want to break up a long time ago." ”

"Yes, men should be like this, they can afford to put it down, and they can find someone better than her in the future."

The motorcycle was speeding on the asphalt road in the town and countryside, and Ning Qingzhou suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be so difficult.

Half an hour later, Ning Lang and Ning Qingzhou returned home, and Ning's father and mother were chatting with the neighbors who came to visit the door, as if they were talking about buying a house.

"How did you get it at this time, I'm afraid the food left for you is cold." Ning's mother walked over with a smile, Ning's father and the neighbor glanced over here, Ning's father said to Ning's mother, "It's good if you go and warm it up", and then continued to chat with the neighbor.

"Where's Pingfeng?" Ning Qingzhou asked familiarly.

"I don't know where Ye went, don't want to see him until I have a meal." Mother Ning said that she went to the kitchen to heat the rice.

"Do you want to buy a house at home?" Ning Qingzhou turned his head and asked Ning Lang.

Ning Lang smiled a little helplessly and said, "Just said that I was addicted, where can I afford it now?" ”

Ning Qingzhou sighed in his heart: "I have to say that the Ning family is indeed not very wealthy now, and the back walls of these tiled houses where they live now have cracks. ”

Ning Lang smiled embarrassedly again and said, "Blame me, I've been working a bit nonsense in the past few years, and I haven't saved any money, otherwise it wouldn't be too easy to buy a house on the street this year." ”

Ning Qingzhou nodded with a smile and said, "The family's money is used for me and Pingfeng to go to college." ”

The two brothers were chatting, and Mother Ning brought the meal, because tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the meat and vegetables at home are quite complete.

Ning Qingzhou listened to Ning's father chatting with the neighbor while eating, Ning Lang occasionally interjected a few sentences, and it could be heard that Ning's father wanted to buy a house on the street, but the family was obviously not financially rich now, Ning's father said: "Wait until Pingfeng University graduates, and they will talk about it when they all work." ”

Eating such a meal and listening to such homely words, Ning Qingzhou suddenly felt a burst of warmth, maybe it was another feeling of "Ning Qingzhou", or maybe it was the magic of the concept of "home" itself.

"In that case, let's make this home a little better."

Ning Qingzhou lowered his head and ate seriously.
