Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 25 (Chapter [-])

When he came out of Liu's house, Yu Dong was in a good mood.

He looked up at the last quarter moon above his head, not in a hurry to go home, and decided to walk around first.

Although there are no street lights in the village, it is not too dark at the moment. One is the moon, and the other is that most people still have their lights on.

Since several factories were built nearby, the village became more lively at night. At the entrance of the village, the old man Wang’s family also opened a small shop, specializing in the business of those migrant workers.

It seems that a certain factory has just handed over the shift. Many young people wearing factory uniforms are walking on the road in twos and threes. Although their faces are tired, their eyes are full of hope.

Those who can come here to work are generally from remote rural areas. In recent years, the crops have not been easy to grow, and the policies are not as beneficial to the farmers as they were later. Many people give up farming and look for opportunities.

It is precisely these migrant workers who are the first to get rich in the countryside.

In a few years, when the salary level rises, these people will take the money to go home and build a big house, and those with children will be able to afford their children to go to school.

Although I am occasionally frustrated by the difference in life with the locals, there is always hope in life.

There is also a large paddy field between the factory and the village. The rice has been harvested, leaving the stubble untreated, which is left as fertilizer for the coming year.

Some soil frogs hide among the rice stubble and croak. If someone walks by, they will suddenly stop, and when the footsteps stop, they will croak again.

They are lucky, because now they still have a place to hide, and in a few years, there will be countless buildings rising from the ground, the road is full of cars whizzing by, and the neon lights will not let everyone go. dark.By then, their descendants will have nowhere to run.

But they are unfortunate, because they are going through this period of rapid change and feel the strong impact of modernization.Life has begun to change, as evidenced by the factories not far away.

Yu Dong shook his head mockingly in the moonlight, what do these toads know?
After wandering around outside for a while, Yu Dong really couldn't resist the mosquitoes. The toilet water he applied before going out seemed to have lost its effectiveness. In just a while, there were double digits of mosquitoes in his hands.

……

In the next few days, Yu Dong took the opportunity to go to the stock exchange to have a look, but he didn't find any news, so he put the issue of the subscription certificate temporarily aside and planned to pay attention to the economic news from time to time.

Liu Jiang recommended several newspapers to him and told him that if he wanted to know the news of the stock market, he could just read these newspapers.

On the eighth day, Yu Dong packed up and prepared to go to Jinling.

When taking the bus to the station, Yu Dong was closing his eyes, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Old Master, how many times have I told you that I am very familiar with people and arts. I will show you today. Teacher Xu Chengxian knows it, acquaintance!"

It was the two young men who had just gotten into the car. They were about the same height, and they should all be students.

The one who spoke was more fashionably dressed, with shiny leather shoes, a windy jacket, and a leather strap watch on his hand.The other is relatively simple, overalls, denim jacket, and nubuck shoes are also a bit old.

Yu Dong felt that the voice was familiar, but he could only see the backs of the two, not sure if it was the one he thought.

After the fashionable guy finished speaking, the simple guy next to him sighed: "Lao Xu, how many times have you said this!"

"It doesn't matter how many times you say it, the key is that you went over with me for the first time today, and today I will convince you..."

"Hey, I said, those two boys, have you bought the tickets?"

The two were chatting when the conductor suddenly knocked on the iron bar in front of him, questioning that the two of them did not buy tickets.

The fashionable guy turned around first and said, "Miss, did you remember it wrong, we bought the tickets."

"Yes, eldest sister, look if you have any money in your hand..."

The two were about to argue with the conductor, but the conductor suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh, I remembered it wrong, you bought the tickets."

This time, the fashionable guy can't do it anymore. He was wronged for nothing just now, and his face was flushed with shame.

He insisted on getting an apology from the conductor: "You can't just go over when you wronged someone, can't you just apologize?"

At this time, the bus came to a stop, the car stopped suddenly, and the people standing shook a little, and the car restarted after getting on and off.

The conductor took the money from the new passenger and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

This is obviously not a sincere apology, but the young man can't help it, and people did say sorry.

Yu Dong, who was sitting in the back, saw everything in front of him, and at the same time saw the appearance of the two young men.

The simple guy Yu Dong had no impression, but this fashionable guy Yu Dong recognized it at a glance.

It's Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng who hasn't lost his hair yet.

Xu Zheng is a well-known actor and director from Shanghai. He was first known to the public after his performance in "Bright Spring Pig Bajie".

For a long time after the TV series, he wore the halo of "Pig Bajie".

In the next few years, he acted in several popular TV series, such as "Li Wei as an Official" and "Love Through Time and Space", etc., which became popular on the small screen.

It was not until after the performance of "Crazy Stone" that Xu Zheng's film career officially started, and later he became the highest-grossing actor in China.

Although the current Xu Zheng still has hair, his appearance has not changed much since then, and he can vaguely recognize it, and the reason why Yu Dong can be sure that it is him is based on two other aspects besides his appearance.

One is Xu Zheng's voice. His current voice has hardly changed since then, which is very characteristic.The other is the conversation between the two of them just now. They mentioned Shanghai Renyi, so they should be students of the theater.

Since he recognized Xu Zheng, Yu Dong had no reason not to speak, he said to Xu Zheng, whose face was full of aggrieved, "Classmates, I don't think this lady should be the one to say sorry to you, on the contrary. , you should thank her."

"Thank you?" Xu Zheng seemed to have heard something unbelievable, staring at Yu Dong who suddenly appeared, "You said she wronged us, so we have to thank him? Is there such a thing in the world?"

Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, you listen to me first, I can see clearly from the side just now..."

Then Yu Dong recounted everything that happened. When Xu Zheng and the others were chatting just now, a man stood beside them, digging out the wallet in Xu Zheng's pocket.At that time, Yu Dong was about to open his mouth to remind him, but was robbed by the conductor.

It's not that the conductors forgot whether they bought tickets or not, they just wanted to prevent thieves from stealing their stuff in this way.

After hearing what Yu Dong said, Xu Zheng's face turned red again.It's embarrassing to be wronged, but it's even more embarrassing to be wronged by someone who helped you.

"Sorry, sorry, no, we should thank you, thank you, thank you." Xu Zheng was already incoherent.

The conductor raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's not stolen."

Speaking of stealing, Xu Zheng remembered looking for a thief who was trying to steal his wallet, and shouted, "Where's the thief?!"

Someone in the car said, "Just now the car stopped and got off."
