They were all so into the drama!

The bus passed slowly and left 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 imagination, as soon as the two got off the car, they should be seen by the wealthy adults and aunts in the town who usually stayed in front of the small shop opposite and communicated with each other.

Then he pretended to talk lightly about his second uncle's current income from filming. The news that the Huo family's uncle and nephew are going to be successful will spread throughout this 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 and couldn't help but sigh, and then the sand blew directly into his mouth.

The rough and bitter feeling of gravel in his mouth made Huo Chengyin suddenly realize 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 two to three hundred meters long.

The total number of residents in the town is only a thousand, not even as large as the population in small villages in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in the south.

The uncle and nephew walked for more than ten minutes against the wind and sand before arriving at the only elementary school in the town.

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

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

This is said to be a canteen, but in fact it only sells stationery, books, and a few kinds of small candies.

Not to mention Coca-Cola potato chips, there are not even cheap snacks such as chili sticks that ordinary children like in their childhood.

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

It was still because the owner, Mr. Huo, decided that those snacks were unhealthy and refused to sell them at all.

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 2004, when food safety supervision was lax and the hygienic conditions of various snack manufacturers were very problematic, this concept was indeed correct. Those snacks were just 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. The purpose of opening a canteen is not to make money, but simply to have no time to spare.

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

"Unlucky, I happened to hit a sandstorm when I came back today..."

After complaining, Huo Chengyin stretched his neck again and shouted loudly into the back room:

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

No one in the back room agreed. Huo Mingjie took off the slim-fitting 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!

It's windy and sandy outside, but an old man in his seventies who lives alone has disappeared. It's really worrying!

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

"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 was in his seventies and was 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:

"Didn't you call back earlier and say it would take two days to arrive?"

Huo Mingjie and Huo Chengyin were visibly relieved when they saw the old man coming back.

"The crew finished filming and came back early..."

Huo Mingjie answered, and then couldn't help but ask

"Dad, why are you going out today?"

"That's right, my second uncle and I were shocked when we came back and saw that you were not there!" 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:

"The glass of a window in the school was broken, but I never paid attention to it before. I thought it wouldn't work if I didn't repair it today, so I ran to help."

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

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

Huo Chengyin gave all the pile of gifts he brought back to the old man at once.

The old man has an open-minded temperament and is not as reluctant to spend money as ordinary elders.

He took all the gifts handed over by Huo Chengyin with a smile.

When asked if he liked it, he nodded repeatedly. The main point was to live up to the good intentions of his children and grandchildren and not to disappoint others.

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 and said with a smile:

"Yes, the role I just completed took two months to film, and I received a salary of more than 80,000 yuan!"

Although the investment in the cast of "Jingwei" is not larger than that of "The Condor", Yin Lingzi has many more scenes than Dragon Knight, and the pay is actually 20,000 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 a little short-sighted and cannot keep up with the times. I still feel that studying is the only way to make progress..."

Previously, Huo Chengyin wanted to take Huo Mingjie out for filming, but the old man didn't agree, and he finally relented after a long time of persuasion.

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

When Huo Mingjie heard this, 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 that reading 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" happened to be released in the past few days, and the subsequent grassroots rise of Wang Baoqiang attracted 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 Baoqiang have there been over the years?

If Huo Mingjie hadn't known the lethality of his face, how could he have gone into the entertainment industry with his cheap nephew?
