Chapter 26: Returning Home

The bus drove slowly past and threw the uncle and nephew next to the bus stop.

The uncle and nephew were dressed brightly, dragging large bags of gifts, which looked out of place compared to the dilapidated platforms around them.

In order to show that his uncle and nephew were returning to their hometown, Huo Chengyin made a lot of effort.

In his imagination, the two of them should be seen by the uncles and aunts who stay in front of the small shop opposite every day and communicate with the parents in the town as soon as they get out of the car.

Then he pretended to talk a few words about his second uncle's current filming income, and the news that the Huo family's uncle and nephew had a future would spread all over this town in the shortest possible time!

It's just a pity that his careful thinking was all in vain because of the sudden sandstorm!

At this time, the wind and sand did not stop, and the doors of every house on the street were closed, and no one could see it, let alone let the uncles and aunts come out to say hello.

Huo Chengyin was a little lost, couldn't help but sigh, and then was directly entered by the oncoming wind and sand.

The rough and bitter feeling of sand and gravel in his mouth made Huo Chengyin's whole person react at once, he had returned to his hometown from Zhejiang Province, which has beautiful mountains and rivers in the south......

Huo Mingjie glanced at his nephew, patted his arm, dragged his luggage, and walked in the direction of home.

Speaking of which, the whole town of Leiwan is really not big, and there are a few shops scattered on a street of only two or three hundred meters.

The total number of residents in the town is only 1,000, and it is not even as large as the people in the small villages in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

The uncle and nephew walked for more than ten minutes against the wind and sand, and then came to the only primary school in the town.

The first room on the left side of the entrance of the elementary school is a small store, and the word "stationery" is still posted at the gate.

Huo Chengyin stepped forward and directly unscrewed the door, and after hiding in the room with Huo Mingjie, he hurriedly closed the door.

It is said to be a commissary, but in fact it sells stationery and books, as well as a few small sweets.

Not to mention any cola potato chips, not even cheap snacks such as spicy strips, which are the favorite of ordinary children in childhood.

It's not just because it's poor and kids can't afford snacks.

Or because of the shopkeeper Mr. Huo, he decided that those small snacks were unhealthy, and he didn't want to sell anything.

More than ten years later, this is a stereotype, after all, the takeaway that social animals usually eat is not as clean and hygienic as those snacks.

But in the 04 years when food safety supervision is not strict, and the hygiene situation of all kinds of small snack manufacturers is very problematic, this concept is really right, those small snacks are not clean!

Huo Mingjie's adoptive father, Mr. Huo, was not a local, he came to Hengshan as a teenager and started a family here, and was a rural teacher before retiring, and he taught in the only primary school in the town.

He has a little retirement allowance and the money is not much but enough. It's not about making money by opening a commissary, it's just that you can't be idle.

Huo Chengyin shook the yellow sand on his body, and couldn't help but complain:

"Unlucky, when I came back today, I happened to hit the wind and sand......"

After complaining, Huo Chengyin stretched his neck again and shouted loudly into the inner room:

"Grandpa, grandpa, second uncle and I are back!"

No one in the back room agreed, Huo Mingjie took off the slim windbreaker he was wearing, walked into the back room and looked around, but found that the old man was not in the room at all!

The wind and sand outside are non-stop, but an old man who lives alone in his seventies is gone, which really makes people worry!

Huo Mingjie's face sank, and he put the windbreaker on his body again, and said in a deep voice to Huo Chengyin:

"The old man is not at home...... You go next door and ask, and I'll go to the school and have a look. ”

When Huo Chengyin heard this, he also looked nervous.

And before the two of them could go out, someone outside suddenly unscrewed the door.

The old man Huo, who was over seventy years old and thin, pushed open the door and walked in at this time.

As soon as he saw the two uncles and nephews standing in the room, Old Man Huo hurriedly closed the door, took off the scarf on his face, showed a surprised smile, and said:

"Didn't you call back before, didn't you say that it would take two more days to arrive?"

Seeing the old man come back, Huo Mingjie and Huo Chengyin were obviously relieved.

"The crew is finished, so I came back early......"

Huo Mingjie answered, and then couldn't help asking

"Dad, what are you doing out this day?"

"That's it, the second uncle and I were shocked when we came back and saw that you weren't there!" Huo Chengyin answered on the side.

Almost every few years, when there is a sandstorm in the town, there will be casualties of people and livestock, and it is no wonder that Huo Mingjie and the others are worried.

When the old man heard this, he said with a smile:

"There was a broken window in the school, and I didn't care about it before. I saw that I couldn't fix it today, so I ran to get a hand. ”

The old man has always been a warm-hearted person, otherwise he would not have decided to adopt Huo Mingjie after picking it up back then.

Seeing that the old man was fine, Huo Mingjie and the others were completely relieved.

Huo Chengyin took the pile of gifts he brought back to the old man at once.

The old man is open-minded and not reluctant to spend like ordinary elders.

Huo Chengyin handed over the gifts, and he took them all directly with a smile.

asked him if he liked it, and he nodded again and again, the main thing is to live up to the kindness of his children and grandchildren and not disappoint people.

In the end, Old Man Huo looked at these health care products, clothes and shoes in front of him, turned his head to look at Huo Mingjie, and asked:

"Cheng Yin said that if you are filming for two or three months now, you can get tens of thousands?"

Huo Mingjie nodded and said with a smile:

"That's right, the role I just finished filming for two months, and I got more than 80,000 yuan in salary!"

Although the investment of the crew of "Jingwei" is not larger than that of "Condor", Yin Lingzi's role is much more than that of Dragon Knight, and the salary is 20,000 yuan higher.

When Old Man Huo heard this, he was relieved and a little lonely, nodded and sighed:

"I've been teaching for so many years, but now it seems that I'm still a little short-sighted, I can't keep up with the times, and I always feel that reading is the only way to make progress......"

Before, Huo Chengyin wanted to take Huo Mingjie out to film, but the old man didn't agree, and persuaded him for a long time before relenting.

Looking at his youngest son's current situation, he feels that he has blocked the future of his children and grandchildren before......

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he shook his head and retorted:

"Dad, you're actually right, I can only be regarded as a special example, and I can't be used to prove the 'uselessness of reading'."

"For most people, reading is not the only way, but it is the best way to progress!"

The movie "No Thieves in the World" happened to be released in the past few days, and then Wang Baoqiang rose from the grassroots, attracting many people to join the entertainment industry, hoping to get a chance to become famous overnight.

But there are so many people in Hengdian, how many Wang Baoqiang have been there over the years?

If Huo Mingjie hadn't known the lethality of his face, how could he run to the entertainment industry with his cheap nephew?
