Night.

Jet-black.

Zhang Panpan couldn't sleep.

Tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.

But......

She's used to it.

Since signing [Shengshi Entertainment] and meeting some people and things, she will always have insomnia.

And then......

At some point in the middle of the night, I suddenly slapped the table frantically, or unconsciously thought of all kinds of things, and cried out aggrievedly.

But I didn't dare to cry too loudly.

I'm afraid of being heard by the parents next door.

Since she was a child, her parents have protected her well and did not let her suffer any grievances.

And then......

This summer, she has almost been born for the present nineteen years, and she has suffered all the grievances.

Growing up is sometimes in a trance, or overnight.

But growth comes at a cost.

It's not a blur of flesh and blood, but it's also extremely painful.

This night...

To be wronged to the extreme is hatred!

She has never hated [Shengshi Entertainment] like this, and even hated the reality of this world.

That emotion stirred her heart over and over again, especially the loudness of the slap, which made her remember everyone.

She was born to be a grudge-bearer.

The next day.

Her phone rang.

The call was from Sister Hong.

Sister Hong spoke coldly on the phone.

Let her come back to the company.

She heard Sister Hong's cold words and remembered Sister Hong's appearance when she signed the contract.

She instantly felt her lungs explode.

But she ......

Finally nodded.

"Sister Hong, I'm in the countryside now, I'll come over right away......"

"Okay."

The weather in December in the small southern county town is not very warm.

But it's a little milder than Yanjing.

When the crew of "That Midsummer" packed their luggage one by one and was about to leave, Ke Zhanyi invited all the participants and those character prototypes to take a group photo.

But......

Unfortunately, none of the core characters are there.

Gao Fei hasn't appeared since yesterday, and his classmates called him, and he couldn't hold back a fart after a long time.

Zhang Sheng went to a more remote town.

It seems to be gone early in the morning.

In the class, he was not an important person, and when he took pictures to make up the number, everyone realized that Zhang Sheng was not here.

But......

No one knew Zhang Sheng's number.

Zhang Panpan followed Lin Xia into the car.

Along the way, both of them seemed to have their hearts in their minds and didn't say anything.

When the car passed a bridge, Lin Xia silently looked into the distance.

Looking at the road, a figure carrying milk seemed to be walking slowly towards the entrance of the village.

"Why is Zhang Sheng here?" Zhang Panpan was stunned when he saw that figure.

"He used to be the ...... of this village"

"Huh? Why don't you take a bus if you're on the way? ”

"I don't know, he has his thoughts......"

"Then what did he do with the simulation camera from the crew?"

"I don't know ......"

…………………………

Walk on a country road.

Zhang Sheng looked at the fields in the distance over and over again.

The winter fields are not desolate, and the wheat pokes out its tender green head slightly, swaggering slightly against the cold wind.

Zhang Sheng recalled the scene when he was a child......

When he was a child, he worked in the fields with his parents, cutting through the maze with a sickle, and occasionally saw a few toads and forgot his direction.

Impression......

Uncle and aunt were not very good to him.

Every time I go to my cousin's house to play, the other party is not enthusiastic, and occasionally eats at his house a few times, and only symbolically gives himself some food.

Impression......

My uncle and aunt fought with their parents over one thing, and ended up using a hoe to leave a deep scar on my father's face.

Cause......

It's ridiculous to think about it now.

Because the water in the farmland had to be irrigated, my uncle deeply moved my father's waterway, causing a gap in the farmland, and my father stepped forward to theorize......

As a result, the theory was theorized, and a sudden fight began.

The two fell from the top to the field where they fell down, and they fought inseparably in the mud, saying all kinds of ugly things while fighting, and even came from next door to persuade them for a long time before they persuaded both sides to come down.

But......

At the time of my father's departure.

The uncle grabbed a hoe and slammed it at his father's head.

Although the dodge was timely, it also smashed the scalp.

Afterward......

Zhang Sheng vaguely remembered that the village committee came over and adjusted it slightly.

The uncle didn't have to lose money, just a symbolic apology, and then, the matter was over.

A similar contradiction happens once a year, sometimes because of water, sometimes because of the grass eaten by sheep, and sometimes because of drying quilts......

It is as if a place that occupies an inch of land can be used to ascend to heaven.

...... in the village

Of course, there are simple and honest people, but those intrigues and bullshit are no less than in the workplace.

It has been said that the smaller the place, the worse the people.

Some people also say that poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people......

Although it is a bit excessive, the reason for this is that small places are inevitably narrow-minded.

The narrow horizon only allows them to stare at their own one-third of an acre.

If you can't hold on to three points of land, you will be extremely faceless in the village, and you will be poked in the backbone and laughed to death.

Zhang Sheng came out of his memories, followed his memories, and walked towards his uncle's house step by step.

Uncle Zhang Gui's house is in the easternmost part of the village, at the intersection of the village road.

It was a prime location in the village.

Zhang Sheng remembered that before he left, there was only a two-story bungalow, but when he came back, he saw that the two-story bungalow had become a small western-style building, and there were tiles on the outside.

On the way......

Some people in the village recognized Zhang Sheng, but most of them pointed at them behind and did not greet them.

Since his parents engaged in pyramid schemes, the whole village has avoided Zhang Sheng's family like a plague god, and the door next door is often closed, for fear that his father will borrow money in the past.

When he got closer to his uncle Zhang Gui's house, Zhang Sheng heard the sound of mahjong.

In the impression that Uncle Zhang Gui's house is always cloudy, and from time to time he hears bursts of foul scolding.

Zhang Sheng did not walk into Zhang Gui's house for the first time.

Instead, he glanced at the old house next to him.

The old house is a two-story cement house, and the exterior wall is not painted, and the red bricks are exposed one by one.

Getting closer, Zhang Sheng could still see the traces of paint splashed by the debt collectors.

The main entrance was still a wooden door, but through the window, Zhang Sheng found that it was divided into one room after another.

He took the key he had prepared and went to open the door, only to find that the key could not be opened.

The locks have been replaced.

Zhang Sheng looked at the lock.

This kind of lock is still old, and Zhang Sheng can easily open the door with some means.

But Zhang Sheng didn't choose to do so.

The house that belonged to him inherited seemed to be rented out by his uncle Zhang Gui.

Through the window, looking at the corner, the large stack of books that he had placed before he left had disappeared completely at this moment.

In memory......

Before leaving his hometown, Zhang Sheng repeatedly told his uncle Zhang Guizhong that these books could not be sold, and he hoped to keep them.

But it seems to ......

They didn't listen, or, put it on the second floor?

Zhang Sheng felt that his heart was suddenly a little chaotic, not as calm as before, and an emotion that did not belong to him surged slightly into his heart, and he seemed to feel a trace of sadness when he revisited the old place.

Zhang Sheng suppressed this emotion.

continued to carry the milk and walked towards the uncle Zhang Gui's house next door.

…………………………

Mahjong.

This is Zhang Gui's favorite.

Zhang Gui is a relatively prestigious person in Qinghe Village.

The relationship with the village chief and the village party secretary is very good, and once there is oil and water to build roads and bridges, they will find Zhang Gui to do it.

Zhang Gui took a group of juniors to run and work, and the work was good and cheap......

Over time, a sum of money was left behind.

This money made Zhang Gui's small life extraordinarily nourishing.

After the bungalow was built, I thought about buying another car......

Nine o'clock.

Zhang Gui took a cigarette in his mouth, and after killing all directions with a cart of mahjong, he happily turned around and went to the bathroom.

When you open the door......

He saw a familiar person, standing in front of him with a smile.

"Uncle!"

He was stunned for a moment when he saw this person, and then subconsciously frowned: "Why did you come back?" Didn't I say you wouldn't come back for five years? ”

He glanced left and right, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after looking at Zhang Sheng's milk, he exhaled deeply: "You hurry up now, while the debt collector hasn't come...... Otherwise, they will break your legs...... These days they come every day to ask for debts, and I help you deal with it......"

Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Gui.

He remained calm throughout.

In my memory, there are also debt collectors......

Coming every day.

Some came to kick the door, some came to splash paint, and some scolded their mothers in the middle of the night......

That time......

Zhang Sheng didn't dare to go home on weekends, so he could only hide in the school dormitory.

When you leave Yanjing......

The former Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Gui blocking those debt collectors, and those debt collectors threatened to break his legs, looking fierce.

For an eighteen-year-old, that scene was a haunting nightmare.

But now Zhang Sheng feels that those people are simply a clumsy performance.

"Uncle, the debt collectors have such a good relationship with you, and they all play mahjong with you? You've been doing well during this time! ”

Zhang Sheng didn't look at who was playing mahjong inside.

He just heard a sound.

He laughed.

"What do you call this, what do you mean to play mahjong with me!" When Zhang Gui heard this, his face instantly became gloomy: "Zhang Sheng, you hurry up now, really, when someone over there comes, I won't be able to persuade you......"

Zhang Gui looked at Zhang Sheng and pushed Zhang Sheng out.

Zhang Sheng did not retreat, but put the milk on the ground.

"I've come all the way, I always want a cup of tea, right? Uncle, this carton of milk is for you ......."

"What tea do you still drink? How can you have the heart to drink tea! Do you know? A few days ago, the strong son next door owed some online loans, and was beaten by the debt collector and is still lying in the hospital......"

"Uncle...... My house was rented out by you? ”

Zhang Gui was still intimidating Zhang Sheng with all kinds of words.

Zhang Sheng didn't seem to hear it, just stared at Zhang Gui.

"What do you mean!" Zhang Gui listened to Zhang Sheng's words and looked at Zhang Sheng's appearance, and he suddenly became angry.

"The house is written to you before you say ...... I can come and stay whenever I want, and now, I come back and plan to stay for two days......"

"You're crazy! Don't you know what your current situation is, you still come back to live, do you think my road is not messy enough? ”

Zhang Gui originally maintained a few words of elder.

But when Zhang Sheng said this, Zhang Gui instantly exploded!

His eyes widened!

It was at this time......

In Zhang Gui's inner room, a few people walked out......

Zhang Sheng stared at these people, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
