Chapter 086: Tang Xiaosheng's Secret
It's finally time to go home for the New Year.
On the evening of the 26th of the lunar month, Tang Xiaosheng took a bag of luggage and came to the Jinghua Railway Station with Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang, and they will take the D815 EMU home together.
Tang Xiaosheng's hometown is located in a remote mountain village in Hongxing Town, Nanming City, and since there is no direct train to Nanming City in Jinghua City, they can only take a train to another city first, and then take a bus to Nanming City.
The EMU departs at 21:30 p.m. and arrives at the terminal at 9:15 a.m. the next morning. Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang seemed to be a little tired, and after getting on the train, they quickly fell asleep, but Tang Xiaosheng was still awake alone.
In fact, he didn't sleep all night.
Because in his heart, there has always been a secret, a secret that he has kept alone for six whole years, and this secret is about to be revealed when he returns home this year.
The secret must be told from the time he was seven years old. When he was seven years old, when Tang Xiaosheng saw the TV for the first time in his neighbor's house, he was deeply fascinated, and felt that the world in the TV was too magical, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
It wasn't long before he learned that there was a profession that could help him enter the wonderful world of television, and the name of this profession was actor.
Since then, he has silently made a wish in his heart that he must become an actor when he grows up, and this desire has accompanied him throughout his growth.
Just six years ago, he was sixteen years old, in his third year of high school, and facing the college entrance examination. Tang Xiaosheng's family background is not good, his father is a carpenter, and his mother is an authentic farmer. His parents always hoped that he would be able to get into college and find a stable job in the future. For children in rural areas, going to college may be the easiest way out.
Tang Xiaosheng's academic performance is not bad, but he is not interested in going to college, because his ideal is to become an actor, and this ideal has been buried in his heart for nine years. It's just that his dream of being an actor was strongly opposed by his parents, who thought that a rural child who wanted to learn from others to become a star was too whimsical and completely unreliable.
Despite this, Tang Xiaosheng was still unwilling to give up easily, in order to realize his dream of being an actor, he secretly applied for an art school without telling his parents, and passed the provincial unified art exam with high scores.
It's a pity that in the end, in the interview for the art school, he failed the list. The teachers at the art school think that Tang Xiaosheng is rustic, has a poor temperament, has an average image, and lacks acting talent, so he has no potential to become an actor at all.
The failure to apply for an art school gave Tang Xiaosheng a big blow, because it directly shattered his dream for so many years.
His desire to go to art school has come to naught, and the college entrance examination has become his only choice. A few months later, he took the national college entrance examination in June of that year, and achieved good results, and was admitted to a key university in the province, but his major was transferred to medicine.
Tang Xiaosheng was really not interested in the medical profession, and when he got the university admission letter, he was not too excited, and he was still thinking about his dream of being an actor.
Whether to go to college or stick to his ideals are the two choices in front of him.
After two or three months of repeated consideration, between university and ideals, Tang Xiaosheng finally chose his ideals. Although he knew that the road to college would be better, he didn't want his life to be full of regrets, and he didn't want to give up his dream of being an actor.
On the day of the start of the university, Tang Xiaosheng left his hometown with the university admission letter and the 10,000 yuan saved by his parents. His parents thought he was going to university, but in fact, he did not report to the university, but went to Jinghua City, more than 1,000 kilometers away, alone, and then rented a private house in the suburbs, and began his six-year career. …,
In the past six years, his parents have always mistakenly thought that Tang Xiaosheng was in college, majoring in medicine, and graduated from college two years ago, and now he is working as a doctor in a hospital. Until now, they still don't know anything about Tang Xiaosheng being an actor. Every year when he went home, Tang Xiaosheng had to tell his parents about life in college, and his parents believed everything he said.
The reason why Tang Xiaosheng was reluctant to tell his parents about his tricks was mainly because he didn't want them to worry. He himself knows very well that playing tricks is a very difficult and unpromising job, and if it weren't for his dreams, maybe he wouldn't have been able to stick to it now.
However, all these things have passed, and the situation is very different now. Tang Xiaosheng has successfully signed a contract with a brokerage company and got a five-year contract of 8 million, and there will be at least two dramas to shoot every year in the future. All this is enough for an ordinary rural home.
Because of this, after Tang Xiaosheng decided to go home this year, he confessed to his parents about being an actor, after all, this matter must be explained to them sooner or later, and it is impossible to hide it all the time.
It's just that the parents have been kept in the dark for six years, and they all mistakenly think that Tang Xiaosheng is now working as a doctor in the city, if they suddenly learn that Tang Xiaosheng didn't go to college and ran to become an actor, I don't know how the two old people will react. Especially Tang Xiaosheng's mother, she has always hoped that Tang Xiaosheng can go to university, which is almost the biggest wish in her life, because she understands the hardships of not being educated.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaosheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, and could only silently pray that his parents could understand what he had done.
The next morning, the EMU arrived at the terminal on time, and after getting off the train, Tang Xiaosheng took Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang to the nearby bus station and got on the bus to Nanming City.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at Hongxing Town, Nanming City, which was only more than ten kilometers away from Tang Xiaosheng's hometown Baiyang Village. It's just that Baiyang Village is a remote mountain village, the road from Hongxing Town to Baiyang Village is impassable, all of them are potholes and winding mountain roads, there are no cars to sit on at all, and the only means of transportation is motorcycles.
When he arrived in Hongxing Town, Tang Xiaosheng called two motorcycles and asked the two motorbike drivers to share a motorcycle, while he himself rode another motorcycle to carry Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang. Because he was unwilling to let Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang get on the back of the motorcycle driver.
After driving on the mountain road for more than two hours, at four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at their destination - Baiyang Village.
Returning to his hometown again, Tang Xiaosheng also felt very cordial in his heart. Although I haven't been home for two years, my hometown hasn't changed much, and everything seems to be the same.
Afterwards, he took Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang to rush home on foot.
Along the way, they met many people in the village, but because Tang Xiaosheng hadn't been home much in the past few years, many people couldn't recognize him anymore, so they didn't say hello at all, just stopped and watched.
The people in the countryside are dressed relatively simply, although Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, and Guo Xiang are not gorgeous, but in comparison, they are still a few grades higher than the people in the village. Therefore, as soon as the people in the village saw them, they knew that they were from the city, and they couldn't help but be curious.
What's more, the little dragon girl is dressed in white and flawless white clothes, her beautiful appearance with ice muscles, and her extraordinary temperament, in the eyes of the villagers, she is completely a fairy, and anyone can't help but look at her twice and secretly guess her identity.
"Whose daughter is that? He looks so handsome, like a fairy! ”
"I haven't seen it either, but the young man next to her looks a little familiar." …,
……
After walking for a few minutes, Tang Xiaosheng saw a dilapidated mud house with loess walls and gray tiles under a big banyan tree about 200 meters ahead, everything looked so familiar.
And this earthen house is his home.
"Long'er, it's almost home." Tang Xiaosheng pointed to the earthen house in front of him and said.
When Xiaolongnu heard this, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, she became cramped and uneasy, and said softly: "After that, I'm a little nervous." ”
Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Long'er, my parents are not tigers and won't eat people." ”
Xiaolongnu was still a little apprehensive, after all, it was the first time she had seen Tang Xiaosheng's parents, and she didn't know what the situation would be, so she asked carefully: "Later, how should I talk in a while?" ”
"Say whatever you want, don't be too restricted." Tang Xiaosheng saw that she was still nervous, so he gently took her little hand and said slowly, "Long'er, don't worry too much, I will always be by your side, and it will be fine." ”
"Hmm." The little dragon girl bit her thin lips lightly and nodded slightly.
Xiaolongnu went home this time to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the pressure on her body was naturally not small. Guo Xiang, on the other hand, is much more relaxed, and for her, it is a trip to the countryside. While walking on the village path, she saw many beautiful little wildflowers on the side of the road, and couldn't help but squat down and pick a few and stick them on her head.
"Xiang'er, have you finished picking the flowers, you're almost home."
"Well, here we are."
Then, the three of them came to the door of the house together, and with a creak, Tang Xiaosheng gently pushed open an old wooden door and walked over.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
