Be careful

The memories of Pope's childhood are always related to one door after another.

The old-fashioned sliding anti-theft door at home, the red lacquered iron door in the dance troupe, the blue door of the school, the wooden door that no one answered when a friend's family went on a trip...

After a long time, he will observe the difference of these doors.

The top door frame of a house that loves cleanliness is spotless, most of the houses with small advertisements are rental houses, and the average owner with thin door panels and old door locks is also very old...

Pu Li and Mu Chi chatted about their childhood. They were popular and played when they were young. Although there is a round of age difference, because of Mu Chi's good family background, they had been in contact with each other beforehand.

That night, Pu Li slept in the guest room, which was separated from Mu Chi's room by a wall.Coincidentally, that room also had a surprisingly large balcony.

Pu Li ran with Mu Chi for a day, although his body was very tired, but his heart couldn't calm down as the night darkened, so he began to suffer from insomnia again.

He went to the balcony, looked at the treetops illuminated by the moon, and listened to the croaking of frogs.

Suddenly, the window next door was slightly lit.After a slight noise, accompanied by the night, a melodious and loving female voice sounded.The sound from the old record player seems to travel through time and space, ethereal and beautiful.

Mu Chi couldn't sleep, it might be because he slept in the car before, but now he still feels uncomfortable after taking a shower all over his body.

He was lying in the bedroom that his grandfather prepared for his parents who occasionally came to the country, staring at the huge oil painting at the foot of the bed, his head was full of poplar oaks.

He still remembers frantically searching for MAXIMUM's video data during that period of time.

As a man in his 30s, he has already passed the age where he can concentrate on appreciating the flamboyant singing and dancing of young boys, but he is so patient, in MAXIMUM's concert video, in their MV, award ceremony, interview, interview Among them, I tried my best to search for the shadow of the poplar oak.

Even Jerry said he looked like a stupid fan.

Frankly speaking, he unconsciously contemptuous of the poplar in the picture.These boys were discovered by scouts when they were still young, and most of them didn't even graduate from high school, with poor cultural background and low vision.Trying to become popular in the entertainment industry with a good-looking face is like dreaming.

Coupled with the fact that Populus oak was involved in scandals at the time, he didn't have a good impression.

In the video materials, Populus always stands at the farthest position. Like the team members, they wear gorgeous and exaggerated clothes, put on heavy makeup, and put on a cold face.Such a boy, indifferent to the world, with pride and conceit written all over his face.

And the sleeping Poplar next door, this living Poplar, was much different from what he thought.

Mu Chi closed his eyes, his mind was full of the scene after being thrown on the street by Qin Shan.He looked up in the rainstorm and saw the boy standing on the balcony, tiptoeing the potted flower that bloomed the most on the top floor into the house.

Mu Chi has never seen the boy's expression clearly, but at this moment, he is sure that the boy who braved the wind and rain to take care of the flowers and plants must be smiling.

Populus is not what he expected.

He turned out to be a person who would firmly grasp and strictly demand himself when he had the opportunity to learn; he would also call and order the big boss late at night for the safety of his friends;

The most different thing is that his growth was actually so lonely, so boring and long, exactly the same as his own.

Mu Chi recalled that on the way to the film and television base, the breeze blew in through the car window, making the hair on the front of the poplar's forehead tremble.

The boy said NextDoor was for the man who used to live next door.

The innocent appearance is almost like the self more than ten years ago.

Fool!

Mu Chi cursed silently, got up and walked to the record shelf.

There was Mu Chi's mother's collection. Although no one touched it for a long time, the glass cabinets outside were still wiped clean by Aunt Wang.

Mu Chi opened the cabinet door and rummaged through it for a while. Unexpectedly, there was a piece of Aretha Franklin, the queen of black spiritual songs.Mu Chimo | Rubbing the old cover and the frayed corners, I thought that my mother must have liked this record very much during her lifetime.

He turned on the record player that had not been used for a long time and put on the record. After a short prelude, the female voice burned slowly like a flame, singing the prayer in his heart slowly.

Populus took a deep breath, sniffing the heartbeat and panic at this moment.If he had known that this body would meet Mu Chi, he would have waited until he met him.

In the second question, in the early morning, Aunt Wang made fried dumplings, clear porridge, and side dishes, which are almost the standard breakfast for Mr. Mu for many years.

The puff oak smelled the fragrance and couldn't sleep.He got up, folded the quilt, opened the window to ventilate, washed up and went out.

Mu Chi happened to wash properly too, because he didn't bring any clothes when he came back temporarily, and he felt a little uncomfortable wearing the floral shirt he bought a few years ago.

The two met face to face and smiled at each other.

"Not bad." Pu Li raised his chin at the flowered shirt on Mu Chi's body.

Mu Chi smiled, and came up to rub Poplar's hair.

"Come and eat!" Aunt Wang shouted at the door of the restaurant on the first floor.

Mu Chi took the poplar down, and Mr. Mu was already sitting at the dining table looking at a yellowing album.

Mu Chi stepped forward, bowed to look at the things in his father's hand, it was the souvenir book of a movie Xinghe made many years ago.

"Don't read it," Mu Chi took the album away from Mr. Mu's hands, with a displeased face, he pushed the porridge, a side dish on the table, "It's time to eat."

Mr. Mu was not angry when he was drawn from the album, instead he reached out to pick up a fried dumpling with his chopsticks with a smile, and put it on the plate of Poplar.

"Xiao Shan, eat more and perform well when you are filming later." Mr. Mu took a sip of the porridge and smiled kindly.

Pu Li knew that Mr. Mu would have memory deviation due to his illness, and he might have recognized himself as someone else. He smiled and asked Mr. Mu how he was, so he sat down to eat with peace of mind.

On the other side, Mu Chi sat still, with an embarrassed expression on his face, watching Lao Mu always silent.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Mr. Mu put down the porridge bowl, his expression became more serious, he couldn't tell he was a sick old man at all, "you should eat and go."

"Well," Mu Chi responded, his father has ups and downs, he is almost getting used to it, "I'll leave after eating."

"Hurry up and don't be late, the teacher will criticize you if you are late, our children can't let others criticize casually." Mr. Mu took another side dish with his chopsticks.

"Oh." Just now, Mu Chi thought his father was urging him to go back to work in the city, but he didn't expect to regard him as a student more than ten years ago.When he came back this time, he found that his father's condition was a little more serious, and it might not be long before he would not even recognize his son.

Pu Li was eating, and when he met Mr. Mu, he smiled.

Mr. Mu nodded his chopsticks to Populus: "Xiao Shan, eat quickly!"

Mu Chi's heart twitched again, he ate hastily and waited outside the restaurant, holding in his hand the picture book his father had read before.

After eating, Pu Li said goodbye to Mr. Mu, and then went to thank Aunt Wang who was busy at the side.

Aunt Wang's subordinates quickened their movements and quickly filled two lunch boxes, one for Pu Li and one for Mu Chi who was waiting at the door.

"Auntie made some kimchi, take it back and eat it, don't be disgusted, it's just me and your father at home, we can't eat that much."

Mu Chi wanted to decline, but when he saw that Pu Li had put the lunch box under his nose and smelled it happily, he also accepted it.

"Elder people eat less of these things," Mu Chi said as he walked towards the garage, then turned around and asked, "Auntie, do you have enough money?"

"Enough is enough."

"Okay, then you go to work, we are leaving."

Pu Li followed Mu Chi into the car and got out of the garage, only to see clearly the night-shrouded scenery of the previous night.

Surrounded by green hills, there are small bridges and flowing water beside the road. The villagers are leisurely, wild ducks and water birds are chasing and playing in the water.

"It's so beautiful here." Populus couldn't help admiring.

"It's very suitable for the elderly and healing." Mu Chi smiled.

The two of them returned to the city, and the car followed the way they came. When they got to the highway intersection, they turned directly to the direction closest to the city.

Pu Li turned on the phone to look at the map, and found that the urban area, the film and television base, and Mr. Mu's house are almost a triangle, but the urban area and Mr. Mu's house are about 100 kilometers away from the film and television base.The urban area is only more than [-] kilometers away from Mr. Mu's house.

"Brother Xiaochi, the urban area is not too far from home, you should come back to visit often in the future." Pu Li said to Mu Chi.

Mu Chi smiled: "I also want to come back often, but I'm always too busy."

Populus felt a little embarrassed that he had said nonsense.

It was still a bit cold early in the morning, he remembered his windbreaker, turned around to look at the back of the car, grabbed the clothes and pulled them into his arms, the album on the clothes fell off first.

"What is this?" The man with tall legs and long legs leaned sideways to retrieve the picture book that fell on the floor in the back row. It was very difficult, and it took a lot of effort to get it up. Picture album. This is what Mr. Mu read early in the morning."

From the rear view mirror, Mu Chi saw the silly look of Pu Li holding the picture book and facing his biological father, his scalp went numb.

He once thought that Qin Shan quietly invested in Daming in China, and Daming signed Poplar. It seemed to be a coincidence, but it was actually a kind of compensation from his father to his son.He also expected that with Qin Shan's current reputation, he probably would not take the initiative to claim this son face to face.

Seeing Pu Li's expression at this moment, Mu Chi guessed that he was right.

For such a selfish person as Qin Shan, it is good to secretly give Poplar a bowl of food, but of course he will not come to recognize his son openly!

Thinking of these, Mu Chi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Pu Li: "You also know this movie, it's very old, I thought you young people haven't seen it yet."

Pu Li smiled, and looked at the introduction in the album carefully.
