Chapter 9 Opening a New World

Whether it is a bustling city or an uninhabited mountain, there are always noises day and night, but the noises are different.Cities are man-made sounds of cars and factories, while mountains are natural sounds of insects and water.

Returning to his hometown, Liu Shu walked on the weed-covered path, took several bends, climbed one mountain after another, and finally returned home with the snakeskin bag he had brought with him when he left.

Having not climbed the mountain road for a long time, Liu Shu panted and stopped less than 50 meters away from his home. Looking at the two brick buildings surrounded by fences, he picked up his mobile phone and took a photo.

"I'm back." Lying down on the tree trunk, looking at home, she suddenly didn't want to go back to the city she was just familiar with.

When I first arrived in the city, I thought that the city earned more money than the village, so I reluctantly agreed to stay and wanted to save money to build a building.Who knows, if you earn a lot and spend a lot, you won't be able to save much money at all.It’s better to be at home, you can find food anywhere, you can grow whatever you want to eat, and your income is low, at least you won’t go in and out again.

Sighing, he got up and walked home.

The door of the house was locked, so I put my luggage by the door and went to the backyard to pick some vegetables and plan to cook.After sitting in the car for a day, I only ate one piece of bread, and now my stomach is growling with hunger, and I have retched several times.

In the evening, Tan Meng hadn't come back from the factory yet, and Liu Dazhuang didn't know where he had gone, but don't worry, he will show up on time when it's time for dinner.

It was dark after dinner, and the willow tree was lying by the stove to warm up under the orange light. The door of the house was locked, and he couldn't get in.Looking at the wood that was sizzling by the fire, bubbles kept gushing out from the cracks in the wood.

"Take it if it's not dried, or I can't do it without me." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Shu's head was hit by something, Liu Shu touched the place where it was hit, and looked at the murder weapon. Looking back, Liu Dazhuang ran towards him with a smile on his face.

"How many times have I told you that you can't hit people with things, even if it doesn't hurt, why don't you always listen!" Liu Shu still sat by the stove, watched Liu Dazhuang walk to the side and sat down, and opened his mouth to reprimand.

Liu Dazhuang nodded, picked up the orange he had thrown around, broke it in half and handed it to Liu Shu.

"I can't eat oranges anymore, go eat quickly." Willow Shu was worried that the food would be cold, so he grabbed the other half of the oranges from Liu Dazhuang's hand, and dragged him to the dinner table to eat. "Do you have a key?"

Liu Dazhuang nodded, pulled Liu Shu and kept saying that Liu Shu didn't look at him just now, so he didn't know he was talking. When he looked up at this time, he realized that he had been working with Tan Meng in the orchard during the half a year he left.

"Does your boss pay you?"

Liu Dazhuang nodded, took out ten yuan and gave it to Liu Shu.

"You save for food, eat first, and I will show you what I bought for you later. Why hasn't Mom come back?"

Liu Dazhuang pointed to the outside of the fence, and did not speak while eating.

After a while, Liu Shu heard the sound of the door opening, stood up and ran to the front yard, and Liu Dazhuang put down his chopsticks to follow.

"Mom, I'm back." Liu Shu shouted while running, but Tan Meng stood still when he heard the voice.

Tan Meng looked at him, sighed, and frowned: "Have you earned enough money for the house?"

Willow shook his head: "I come back once a year during the Chinese New Year, and I have made a lot of money, so you take it first."

Liu Shu took out an envelope from the hidden pocket of his coat and handed it to Tan Meng.

"It's [-] yuan. My meal is ready, go eat it quickly, don't let it get cold." He took the second elder to the kitchen at the back of the house to eat, took a few bites by himself, and ran to open the snakeskin bag.

Liu Dazhuang buried the lower half of his face in the rice bowl, staring straight at the things in the snakeskin bag.After a while, Liu Shu took out two paper shopping bags from the snakeskin bag, one big and one small.He handed the big one to Liu Dazhuang and the small one to Tan Meng.

Liu Dazhuang took out with both hands, inside were all kinds of snacks that he had never seen before, he wanted to take it apart when he picked it up, but was scolded by Tan Meng, so he had to put it down in desperation, and continued to eat.

Tan Meng didn't look at her gift, and Liu Shu saw that she didn't show face, so she took out the things in the shopping bag for her.

Willow took out a palm-sized red glass bottle, which was a bottle of skin care products, specially designed to hydrate and prevent cracking.The climate of Cuizhi Mountain is warmer in winter, but the wind is very strong in the morning and evening.Tan Meng gets up early and goes to the orchard every day, her face is always red and dry.

"I saw people advertising, thinking that your face will be dried by the wind in winter, so I bought you a bottle of this. I heard from Aunt Zeng that it is very useful. The date is still very long, and it can be used for three years."

"It will be a waste of money, what's the use of buying this thing." Tan Meng frowned again, glared at Willow, and told him to eat fiercely.

Willow opened the lid, reached out and dabbed a little white thick liquid on her face, and gently smudged it.

Tan Meng froze for a moment, didn't speak, just lowered her head and continued to eat.

Knowing that she was still angry, Liu Shu sat back in her seat and looked at her, a little sad: "Mom, just come back to watch it once during the Chinese New Year. I listened to you and went to the city to film. There will be a costume movie in February next year and I will be acting in it." General, but if you want to watch it online, remember to go to the village chief’s house to watch it.”

When Tan Meng heard that Liu Shu was really going to act, she looked at him in surprise.She thought that Liu Shu must have done other work when he went to the city, and he would definitely not go to filming honestly, but unexpectedly, he was really promising.

"Okay, listen to Mom and keep acting. Next year Mom will kill a chicken for you."

Tan Meng finally laughed, and Liu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, when Liu Dazhuang took his hand and motioned to Liu Shu to apply some skin care products on him as well.

"You old man, is it interesting to wipe this thing?" Liu Shu teased, and involuntarily put a little on his hands and wiped it on Liu Dazhuang, before he took his rice bowl to eat peacefully.

After convincing Tan Meng, he took Liu Dazhuang back to the house to pack up after dinner.

Willow closed the door of the house, packed up his things, and immediately climbed into bed to sleep. When the lights went off, he whispered: "Dad, Mom, she won't let you call me, so don't do it. Let's make a video call when you have time. The village head, he will help you."

Liu Dazhuang grabbed Liu Shu's hand, nodded, and wanted to turn on the light, but Liu Shu stopped him.

"Don't let mom see it. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. I can still accompany you for half a month. You can see me on TV next year, no, you can still hear my voice on TV in the future. I'm going to learn dubbing, and when I earn enough money to go home and build a house, I'll—" I was about to say to help you dub the voice for the rest of my life, when I remembered that Liu Dazhuang seemed to think that he said it himself.

"If mom really won't let me come back, you can ask the village chief to take you to the city to have a look, okay?" Feeling Liu Dazhuang nodding, he closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "Listen to Mom, don't make her angry, next time I come back, I'll bring you something delicious."

During the week when he returned to Cuizhi Mountain, Liu Shu ate and slept all day long, either going to the fields or chopping firewood to go home.During the half a year in the city, I got used to gas and electrical appliances. I thought I would buy them and install them next time I came back, so that when the rainy season came, I wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough firewood.

Just after weeding the field, he lay down on the edge of the field to bask in the sun, and took out the script in his bag.Before going back to my hometown, I asked Chen Yushi to read a copy. I thought it was pretty good, but it was a bit strange.

I just looked at it in a scanning manner before, but now I look at it carefully, and I find the source of something wrong.When he saw the two protagonists kissing because of a teasing remark, he realized that it turned out to be two men.

Willow didn't think too much about it, and continued to watch it if he found it interesting. As the plot deepened, until the massacre at the end, one died of serious injuries, and the other committed suicide. Willow was heartbroken.

Throwing the script aside, the nose is sore, looking at the sky, thinking in my heart.

Obviously we can be together, why does it have to be like this.

"At that time, I must go to the scene to watch it again. Oh, I'm sorry, and I don't want to play the role that kills you."

Picking up the phone, I searched for the name of the script, looking for some similar novels to read.

"It's amazing. Both men can move me to the point of crying. It's incredible." I stared at my phone, searched various posts and Weibo, and realized that the novel with this theme is called "Danmei" .

Installed a few softwares for reading novels, picked out a few interesting ones and collected them, turned off the phone and continued working.

He has to leave Cuizhi Mountain tomorrow, and it will be another year after he returns next time. When he wants to leave, he will do more homework.Liu Dazhuang occasionally loses his temper and doesn't want to work, Tan Meng's temper is not so nasty and he will persuade him nicely, sometimes he has to do it by himself.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, he took his good guy and ran home. Seeing that Liu Dazhuang was not there again, he must have gone to the village chief's house to watch TV.

I picked up some firewood and went to the kitchen to start a fire and cook. My parents came back after dark, and they waited for Tan Meng to do the dishes after washing.

The whole family sat at the edge of the square four-legged table to eat, and Liu Shu would chatter occasionally. He liked this feeling. During the half a year in the city, the meal was always quiet and he was alone.

Dagen is very busy now, running all over the place, so I seldom see him.Without someone to talk to, I was not used to it at first, but later I borrowed some books with Chen Xuan to read, and finally relieved my lonely heart.

"Don't talk about eating, if you are good at Mandarin, you have to be quiet. Did the director praise you?" Tan Meng looked at him expectantly, holding the rice bowl in her hand, but she was slow to speak.

Liu Shu raised his head excitedly and said excitedly: "It's not just a compliment, the director also said that I have good acting skills, but I'm timid and can't adapt."

"It's okay, take your time. If one day, Mom sees you on TV, she can tell others that he is my son." Tan Meng comforted herself, her eyes flushed again.

After the meal, the whole family was still sitting at the dining table, those who ate candy ate candy, those who ate melon seeds ate melon seeds, and the willow tree was teasing the wild dogs passing by nearby. Buy a house here, if it’s not at that time, I will never let you go home during the Chinese New Year.”

Willow nodded in a daze, but hadn't reacted yet.

He was obviously smiling just a second ago, why did he suddenly change his face?

"You are no longer a child. One year older means more responsibility. Listen to me, Liu Shu. Mom hopes that you can do a great job in the city. If you choose this path, sooner or later you will Understand mother's intentions. You have to understand that people who treat you will not harm you, and those who harm you will not treat you with intentions, and don't hate anyone. Don't let your mother down."

"Can I come back during the Chinese New Year?" Looking at Tan Meng's red eyes, he clearly touched her heart again.

Why do you act like this when you mention these things?You are more anxious than anyone else to hope that your child will become a dragon.Don't worry, I have a goal, I will work hard in the city, and I will come back to accompany you until the day you are satisfied.
