From yearning to becoming a mascot in the entertainment industry

evening.

After finishing their meal, He Jiong and Huang Lei sat bored under the eaves, drinking tea.

Suddenly, He Jiong thought of the villagers who had entered the mountains before.

"Teacher Huang, since we have nothing to do, why don't we go out for a walk?"

Huang Lei glanced at He Jiong and said with a smile, "You want to go to the bamboo house that Zheng Yu mentioned, right?"

"Let's go, it's a good time to take a stroll after dinner."

Then, Huang Lei looked at Wang Zhengyu.

"Zhengyu, where is the bamboo house you mentioned?"

Wang Zhengyu pointed in a direction.

"Follow the main road outside and go up. Turn into the first intersection ahead and you'll see it not far away."

"Actually, we can get there by walking through the forest, but it's getting dark, and the path in the forest isn't easy to walk on."

Hearing this, He Jiong walked out with a smile on his face.

"Then we'll take the main road."

According to Wang Zhengyu's description, they saw the intersection he mentioned not long after they walked, and then turned in.

Bamboo house.

Although the villagers were busy here all day today, the place has not been inhabited for a long time and has not been repaired.

So many things are no longer usable.

Even the main structure of the bamboo house has almost rotted away, and it is no longer something that can be fixed with simple repairs.

The final decision was to demolish the entire bamboo house and rebuild a wooden house!

On this day, the villagers were dismantling the bamboo houses and clearing the surrounding foundations.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the villagers were already quite old, Yun Mu asked them to go back and come back tomorrow.

Yun Mu stayed here to continue cleaning up and thinking about the design of the wooden house.

"Hello, how are you?"

At this moment, Yun Mu suddenly heard someone greeting him from behind, and he was startled.

I turned around suddenly and saw two familiar faces.

“It’s exactly the same.”

"what?"

Yun Mu quickly shook his head, put on a smile on his face, and walked quickly to them.

"Teacher He, Teacher Huang, hello, my name is Yun Mu."

He Jiong and Huang Lei also greeted Yun Mu warmly.

Then He Jiong asked the doubts in his mind.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm planning to come back and live here, but the bamboo house here is no longer habitable. We have to tear it down and rebuild it."

Hearing this, He Jiong looked at Yun Mu with confusion.

"The original bamboo house here was your home?"

Yun Mu scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"It's like this. I used to work and live in Shanghai, but the pressure was too great, and I lost my job, so I sold my house and car in Shanghai and wanted to move back to my hometown."

"But the village chief didn't know I was coming back, and the price your production team offered was quite high, so he sold my house to your production team."

Hearing his words, He Jiong and Huang Lei opened their mouths in surprise.

"Huh?! You mean, the Mushroom House was once your home!"

He Jiong exclaimed.

Huang Lei could only smile bitterly.

"You said this was a whole thing."

Seeing this, Yun Mu sneered.

"It's okay. I can use the money from selling the house to build a new one. We can even become neighbors."

The three of them chatted briefly for a while.

The sky was gradually getting dark.

"Hey? Xiao Mu, have you eaten?"

Yun Mu shook his head.

"Not yet. I plan to work for a while and then go to the village chief's house to eat."

Hearing his words, He Jiong suddenly turned and looked at Huang Lei.

"Teacher Huang, we don't have any guests anyway, so why don't we invite Xiao Mu to visit the Mushroom House?"

Hearing this, Huang Lei grinned.

"You're such a jerk, inviting someone to your former home, right?"

Immediately afterwards, Huang Lei looked at Yun Mu.

"Come on, come on, come back to the Mushroom House with us two old guys. It just so happens that we haven't finished the noodles and the stewed meat we had for dinner. If you don't mind, I'll make you some more noodles and you can just eat them."

Hearing this, Yun Mu smiled slightly and was not at all nervous.

"Okay, I'm an old fan, I've watched every season."

"I always watch Xiang Wang while eating. Even if I'm eating instant noodles, I can still enjoy it through the screen."

"It seems that I am lucky today."

Huang Lei was very happy to be praised by Yun Mu.

After all, their identities and status are very different.

It is unlikely that a big star would cook for an ordinary person alone.

The reason why Huang Lei agreed just now was only for He Jiong's sake.

But after Yun Mu's praise, the little unhappiness in Huang Lei's heart disappeared.

The three returned to the mushroom house.

Looking at the guns and cameras in the courtyard, Yun Mu couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He had never been in front of so many cameras before.

He Jiong saw Yun Mu stop and asked in confusion: "We are already at the door, come in."

Yun Mu glanced at the pile of cameras and said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher He, look at this..."

Following his gaze, He Jiong immediately understood what he meant.

He looked at director Wang Zhengyu and chuckled, "Zhengyu, we're almost done with today's recording. Let's let the crew take a break and stop recording for now."

Wang Zhengyu naturally understood what He Jiong meant, and directly asked the staff to stop filming and take a break.

"Okay, let's go in."

As he said that, He Jiong affectionately took Yun Mu's hand and walked into the courtyard.

"Jiong Jiong, stay with Yun Mu for a while. I'll go heat up the stew and add some noodles. It'll be quick."

Huang Lei said something to He Jiong, then turned and went into the kitchen.

He Jiong took Yun Mu back to the house and thoughtfully gave him two bottles of milk.

"Come on, you must be thirsty after a busy day. Drink some milk. If it's not enough, there's more."

"Thank you, Teacher He."

The two sat down, and He Jiong looked at Yun Mu, looking for a topic to talk about.

"Xiao Mu, I just heard you say that you bought a house and a car in Shanghai. Isn't your life going well? Why did you suddenly want to come back and live here?"

Yun Mu sighed softly.

"Teacher He, the pressure of living in Shanghai is really too great."

"After paying off all my loans, I only have a little over 500 yuan left in my monthly salary. I can only get a little over 2000 yuan left by doing some part-time work after get off work."

"This doesn't even include miscellaneous expenses like food, clothing, housing, and transportation."

"After adding all these up, there's nothing left after a month."

"Plus, I lost my job this month and I've been looking for a job for a while, but my salary isn't even enough to pay off the loan."

Yun Mu looked at He Jiong, his eyes full of fatigue.

"Teacher He, what do you think is the purpose of human life?"

After saying that, without waiting for He Jiong's answer, he turned his head again and looked through the door at the endless night sky.

"Before, I lived for the house and the bank."

“Now, I want to live for myself.”

He Jiong looked at the hesitant Yun Mu and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

After all, this is the life of the vast majority of ordinary people.

"Sometimes, it's good to stop and take a break, sort out your thoughts, think about how to develop in the future, how to live, and find the path that suits you best."

Afterwards, He Jiong did not continue talking about this topic.

"By the way, Xiao Mu, you know, this season is also our last season."

"We are also ready to stop and have a good rest."
