They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 26
The bus passed slowly, leaving the uncle and nephew beside the bus stop.

The uncle and nephew were dressed neatly, dragging large and small packages of gifts. Compared with the shabby platforms around them, they looked out of place.

In order to show that his uncle and nephew were returning home in fine clothes, Huo Chengyin worked hard.

In his vision, the two of them should be seen by the grandpas and aunts who spend their days at the door of the small shop across the street and communicate with each other in the town as soon as they get out of the car.

Then he pretended to be casual and talked a few words about his second uncle's current income from filming. The news that the Huo family's uncle and nephew are promising will spread throughout the town in the shortest possible time!

It's a pity that all his little thoughts were in vain because of the sudden sandstorm!
At this time, the wind and sand have not stopped, and the doors of every house on the street are closed, and no one can be seen, let alone the uncles and aunts coming out to say hello.

Huo Chengyin was a little disappointed, couldn't help but sighed, and then the wind and sand blowing directly into his mouth.

The rough and bitter feeling of gravel coming from his mouth made Huo Chengyin realize immediately that he had returned to his hometown from the beautiful Zhejiang province in the south...

Huo Mingjie glanced at his nephew, patted his arm, then dragged his luggage and walked towards home.

Speaking of which, the entire town of Thunder Bay is really not big. There are a few scattered shops on a street that is only 300 meters long.

All the residents in the town add up to no more than a thousand people, not even as many as the small villages in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

The two uncles and nephews walked against the wind and sand for more than ten minutes, and then came to the only elementary school in the town.

The first room on the left of the gate of the primary school is a canteen, and the word "stationery" is pasted on the gate.

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

It is said to be a canteen here, but in fact it sells stationery and books, as well as a few small candies here and there.

Let alone Coke potato chips, there are not even cheap snacks like spicy sticks that ordinary children like in childhood.

It’s not just that the children here can’t afford snacks because it’s so poor.

It was because of the owner, Mr. Huo, that he decided that those snacks were unhealthy, and he was unwilling to sell them no matter what.

Looking back more than ten years later, this can be regarded as a stereotype. After all, the takeaways that social animals usually eat are not as clean and hygienic as those snacks.

But in 04, when the food safety supervision was not strict, and the sanitary conditions of various small snack manufacturers were very problematic, this concept is really correct, those small snacks are not clean!

Huo Mingjie's adoptive father, Mr. Huo, was not a local. He came to Hengshan when he was young and started a family here. Before he retired, he was a rural teacher and taught in the only primary school in the town.

He has a little retirement allowance, not much but enough.Opening a canteen is not about making money, it's just because I can't take it easy.

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

"Unfortunately, when I came back today, I just ran into a sandstorm..."

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

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

No one agreed in the back room, 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 are constantly blowing outside, and an old man in his 70s who lives alone has disappeared. It is really worrying!

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

"The old man is not at home... you go next door and ask, I will go to the school to take a look."

Huo Chengyin also became nervous when he heard this.

Before the two of them could go out, someone suddenly opened the door.

Mr. Huo, who is in his 70s and thin, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he saw the uncle and nephew standing in the room, Mr. Huo quickly closed the door, took off the scarf on his face, showed a surprised smile, and said:

"You called back earlier, didn't you say that you will arrive in two days?"

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

"The production crew has wrapped up, so they came back early..."

Huo Mingjie answered, and then couldn't help asking
"Dad, why are you going out today?"

"That's right, Second Uncle and I came back and saw that you were not there, we were all shocked!" Huo Chengyin answered from the side.

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

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said:

"A window in the school was broken, and I didn't take care of it before. I didn't think it would be repaired today, so I ran to help."

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

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

Huo Chengyin took all the presents he brought back to the old man at once.

The old man is open-minded, and he is not as reluctant to spend money as ordinary elders.

He directly accepted all the gifts that Huo Chengyin handed over with a smile.

Ask him if he likes it or not, and he nods again and again. The main point is to live up to the kindness of his children and grandchildren and not disappoint people.

Finally, Mr. Huo looked at the health care products, clothes and shoes in front of him, then turned to look at Huo Mingjie, and asked:
"Cheng Yin said that if you take two or three months of filming now, you can get tens of thousands?"

Huo Mingjie nodded, smiled and said:
"Yes, the role I just completed took two months to film, and I received a salary of more than 8!"

Although the crew of "Jingwei" did not have a larger investment than "Sculpture of God", Yin Lingzi's role was much more than that of Dragon Knight, and the film salary was 2 yuan higher.

When Mr. Huo heard this, he was relieved and a little lonely, nodded and said with emotion:
"I have been teaching for so many years, but now it seems that I am still short-sighted, unable to keep up with the times, and 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 it took him a long time to let go.

Now looking at his younger son's current situation, he felt that he had blocked the future of his children and grandchildren...

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

"Dad, you are actually right. I can only be regarded as a special example, and cannot be used to prove the theory of 'study is useless'."

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

The movie "A World Without Thieves" just 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 with so many people in Hengdian, how many Wang Baoqiangs have they had over the years?
If Huo Mingjie didn't know the lethality of his face, how could he have gone to the entertainment industry with his cheap nephew?
