rebirth of cataclysm

Xiao Yumei had just finished cooking when Wang Zhan came back from outside. Seeing Hu Mingchen there, he was happy and not surprised.

Wang Zhan knew that Hu Mingchen would definitely come to the city to prepare a film before the Chinese New Year, and when he came to the city, he would most likely come to his home.

"Uncle Wang, have you been busy these days?" Seeing Wang Zhan's slightly tired expression, Hu Mingchen asked with concern.

"Haha, you should be busy. Throughout the year, this is the time when you really make money. During the Chinese New Year, we have nothing to do and can take a holiday. But if your family is the other way around, it will probably be extremely busy." Wang Zhan

He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger and replied with a smile.

The business during this time a year ago was almost equivalent to three months in normal times. It was really painful and happy, which is why Wang Zhan said this.

At Hu Mingchen's house, Hu Mingchen himself had already predicted that during the Chinese New Year, especially the week from the first to the seventh day of the first lunar month, the task would definitely be arduous.

Normally, the local people may not be willing to spend money, but during the Chinese New Year, no matter whether they are rich or poor, men, women, old or young, they should have some small luxuries, and Duge Township is the most popular.

Where is a good place for consumption? It is undoubtedly Hu Mingchen’s movie theater. The business should be better and more popular than on usual market days.

"As long as you can make money, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it's still sweet, haha." Hu Mingchen said with a simple smile.

"Are you here to prepare a New Year's film this time?"

"Yeah, I'm also here to wish you and Aunt Xiao a happy birthday. By the way, I'm here to pay off part of the debt." As he said, Hu Mingchen took out two piles of banknotes wrapped in newspapers from his bag, "This is three thousand yuan.

, I will give it back to you, here is five thousand yuan, please help me give it to Uncle Chen, and I will return the rest to him after the Chinese New Year."

"I can help you return these five thousand yuan to Chen Xuesheng, but I remember that I only lent you two thousand yuan, so you can take back the remaining one thousand yuan." Wang Zhan said solemnly.

"Uncle Wang, don't you think it's too little?" Hu Mingchen asked calmly without touching the money.

"Haha, borrow one thousand and pay back three thousand with 50% interest. Isn't that less? It's already a loan shark. But, Xiaochen, Uncle Wang just wants to help you by lending you money.

But it's not for interest. So if you thank me a thousand dollars more, what will it mean? So don't distort such a relationship, understand?" Wang Zhan's face relaxed and he smiled.

He said.

"I understand, but you helped me. I should thank you. That's right. You still..." Hu Mingchen already remembered Wang Zhan's help of 2,000 yuan.

, he would feel uneasy if he didn't express it again.

What is the hardest debt to repay in the world? It is a debt of favor. Sometimes a favor is bigger than the sky. Because of this, Hu Mingchen came to pay off the debt as soon as he had money.

The amount owed to Chen Xuesheng was 10,000 yuan, and Hu Mingchen couldn't pay it out at once, so he paid back half of it first, but on Wang Zhan's side, Hu Mingchen didn't want to delay it any longer.

"Xiaochen, just keep it. Every time you come here, you either buy this or that, and you also buy expensive Walkmans for Huixue. If you really care about it, wouldn't these be converted into money for you? It's a lot.

Just put it away and pay back the principal." Xiao Yumei said from the side while carrying the dishes from the kitchen.

"Aunt Xiao, that's different." Hu Mingchen said.

"Nothing is different. Hey, Huixue, brother Mingchen bought you a walkman?" Wang Zhan gave Hu Mingchen the extra thousand yuan. Then he remembered what Xiao Yumei said about the walkman, and stared at

Wang Huixue: "How can you ask for something so valuable?"

"Uncle Wang, Huixue didn't ask for that from me. I bought it myself. It's the Chinese New Year and I want to buy something to be happy." Hu Mingchen was afraid that the misunderstanding would spread, so he hurriedly explained to Wang Huixue.

"Did you hear that? I didn't want it. Brother Mingchen took the initiative to buy it himself. It's none of my business." Wang Huixue pouted.

"Forget it, forget it, I've already told her, and she promises not to affect her studies." Xiao Yumei, who had been scolding Wang Huixue just now, now spoke for her.

"This is not something that affects study. A Walkman costs at least a hundred dollars. How much is a monthly salary for those who work? Xiaochen is so young, it is not easy to earn money, and his family just suffered a disaster.

"Wang Zhan said with a straight face, "It's just normal things. How can you just ask for something so expensive?"

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, you...you said that, I don't even know what to say. This is what I think. Now that the difficulties at home have passed, is it possible that you still let me

Can't you go back?" Hu Mingchen knew that Wang Zhan meant well, but the more he behaved like this, the more embarrassed Hu Mingchen became.

Especially Wang Zhan's criticism, if not done well, it will be converted into Wang Huixue's blame for him, and Hu Mingchen is even more of a man of power.

"Then I'll just give it back to him, hum!" Wang Huixue didn't have as mature a mind as Hu Mingchen. When Wang Zhan said this, she really couldn't stand it and said angrily.

"Look... you'll just make an example next time." Xiao Yumei protected Wang Huixue and pulled him aside to comfort him.

"Uncle Wang, you are really embarrassing me like this. You have offended me." Hu Mingchen said with a bitter face.

"Okay, okay, it won't be an example next time. It won't be an example next time." Seeing that his criticism made everyone unhappy, Wang Zhan quickly stopped it, but to Hu Mingchen, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Xiaochen, I know what you mean.

, but I can’t buy such expensive things. Xiaoxue is only in grade four.

It may not be a good thing for her to put a Walkman in her schoolbag. In addition, your family must have a lot of money to spend, and the money must be spent wisely. Can you come and see us? Uncle Wang is very

I'm happy, but if I buy something every time, I'll look out of place, understand?"

"I understand, Uncle Wang, I understand, I will just pay attention to it from now on." After feeling the sincerity in Wang Zhan's heart, Hu Mingchen said sincerely and moved.

"Okay, come on, let's have dinner at the table. You can stay here tonight, sleep on Xiaohui's bed, and take the shuttle bus back to Duge tomorrow morning." Wang Zhan nodded, stood up and said.

"You said I just noticed it, why didn't I see Brother Hui? I didn't see him when I entered the house." It's not that Hu Mingchen didn't notice Wang Hui's absence, but he never had the chance to ask.

Of course, there was no friendship between Hu Mingchen and Wang Hui, unlike him and Wang Huixue, who had a street sweeping relationship together, so even if Hu Mingchen didn't notice Wang Hui, it was normal.

"He went back to his hometown after the holiday. Xiaochen, come over for dinner." Xiao Yumei said.

"That kid thought he would be disciplined at home, so he simply fled back to his hometown after the holidays. I didn't have time to take care of him," Wang Zhan added.

We had dinner at Wang Zhan's house and stayed another night. Hu Mingchen left the next day.

However, Hu Mingchen did not go to the station to take the shuttle bus back to Duge immediately. He went to the department store and the farmer's market.

Yesterday, Hu Mingchen thought of bringing some gifts and New Year's goods to his family, so he had to implement them.

In the department store, Hu Mingchen bought clothes for each of his sister Hu Yandie and sister Hu Yujiao. It was the Chinese New Year and everyone wore new clothes. Hu Mingchen believed that his sister and sister would be very happy wearing the new clothes he bought.

Hu Jianjun's and Jiang Yucai's were not left behind. Hu Mingchen bought a blue jacket for Hu Jianjun and a pair of fitness pants that are still popular for his mother Jiang Yucai.

After spending nearly 400 yuan in the department store, Hu Mingchen went to the farmer's market to buy some dry goods and a few couplets. Seeing many adults and children buying fireworks, Hu Mingchen hesitated for a while, and finally bought a handful of nine and a half meters.

What a long firework.

Of course Hu Mingchen didn't buy the fireworks for himself to set off. He was mentally past the age when he was having fun. He bought them back for his sister to have fun with.

Hu Mingchen originally wanted to buy two cigarettes for Hu Jianjun, but when he left Wang Zhan's house early in the morning, Wang Zhan had already given him two cigarettes and asked him to take them back to Hu Jianjun.

On the one hand, Wang Zhan was returning the favor, and on the other hand, he was probably discounting Hu Mingchen's spending on the Walkman yesterday.

Hu Mingchen couldn't refuse, so he could only accept the two Hongta Mountains.

After buying all the things, Hu Mingchen carried all the big and small bags and hurried to the bus station to catch the shuttle bus.

After getting on the bus and looking at the several packages of gifts placed on the hood of the shuttle, Hu Mingchen felt sincerely satisfied and gratified.

After several months of hard work and persistence since his rebirth, Hu Mingchen finally allowed his family to live a barely decent new year. Hu Mingchen had reason to be happy and satisfied. After his rebirth, all he hoped for was to make his family live a better life. Although it was far from that final

There is still some distance to achieve the goal, but at least the first step is pretty good. Compared with before, the conditions at home can be said to have undergone gratifying changes.

Sitting on the bus, Hu Mingchen kept his eyes staring in that direction as if he was afraid that he would be thought to have stolen the things he bought.

After looking at it, Hu Mingchen suddenly realized that after buying it for a long time, almost all the things he bought were for his family, but he didn't buy anything for himself.

He smiled helplessly, knowing that he had no choice. Hu Mingchen could not ask the driver to stop the car and wait for him to go back and replenish himself with something before returning.

Although he didn't buy anything for himself, Hu Mingchen was not upset. The days ahead were still very long, and there were still many opportunities to compensate himself. What's more, Hu Mingchen, who was already a second-generation man, didn't care about this at all.

In the future, as long as he earns more and more money and lives get better and better, Hu Mingchen believes that everything will be possible.

After three hours of bumpy and swaying, Hu Mingchen finally got off the car at Sanjiazhai. Carrying a lot of things, Hu Mingchen felt for the first time that the narrow path home from Sanjiazhai was actually not difficult to walk.
