For the favor of Mr. Nie

Tong Yan is really a terrible confidant.

Late at night, the viewing platform of the garden.

He propped his elbows on his knees, his upper body was leaning forward, and his head seemed to hang so low that he couldn't lift it up.

Half a minute ago, Nie Zheng asked him directly: "What happened?"

He has followed Nie Zheng here, but the answer is still: "It's nothing, just a little tired."

Nie Zheng has never seen him exhaust himself into a frost-beaten eggplant. Tong Yan is usually busy, but no matter how busy he is, his mental outlook is good. Why is he so confused that his eyes can't even find the focus like before him? uncharacteristically.

Then, Tong Yan started to ramble uncharacteristically, "You know what? Although my family is not good, my mother never told me that she gave me good food and clothes after earning money. I didn’t know that my family was poor before I was [-], and my classmates wore shoes and clothes that cost one or two hundred, but she bought me three or four hundred.”

Nie Zheng finally caught a clue, Mama Tong Yan.

But right now, Tong Yan doesn't seem to be complaining to others with a clear purpose, he is clearly a jar full of loads that can't hold water leaking out.

What was it that crushed Tong Yan's back overnight?

Nie Zheng was afraid of being too direct and reckless and smashing the brittle and hard jar, so he had to take a gap between his words and ask the child who didn't express his words: "Did you go home just now?"

Tong Yanben paused with shrunken shoulders, and answered in one word, "Hey." Then he raised his arms and wiped his face with his hands, and then continued, "...It's because I don't have a father, and my mother doesn't want me I would rather work harder than other children. I didn’t know what poverty is until I was ten years old and her income was not as good as before.”

"Later, when the old lady got sick, the family had no savings, because she spent all the money on me before."

Nie Zheng caught the key point directly.Tong Yan's point is: his mother treats him well, very well.

Even though she always believed that Ms. Tong's education method was wrong, even Nie Zheng admitted that this mother, within her limited vision, loved her child as much as possible.

Precisely because of this "extremely possible" experience, knowing that his mother's way of earning a living has become a stumbling block in his path, Tong Yan dare not even think of the word "wrong", thinking of his heart, and persistently defending it.

It may not be desirable in the eyes of others, but this is where Tong Yan's heart is clean.

So, tonight is the issue of parentage exploded again, and Tong Yan and his mother finally put this issue on the surface?No wonder Tong Yan is like this. On the one hand, there is pressure from the outside world, and on the other hand, the guilt towards his mother that goes against the background. Tong Yan is being torn between two sides.

What did Ms. Tong say?

Things are not easy to handle, Nie Zheng frowned, he can control the world and control what the mother and son say in private, Tong Yanken told him that he would not talk so much aimlessly.

At this time, Tong Yan fell silent after chatting, and sat hunched over in a dejected manner, with such a vivid personality, his back seemed a bit bent at the moment.

At this moment, Nie Zheng suddenly felt as if he could see the shackles the boy was carrying with his naked eyes, and this was a person who dared to jump up and down in front of him.

Nie Zheng didn't know what was going on in his heart, words had limited comfort, so he did something he wouldn't do normally: he leaned forward, raised his arms, put his palm on the boy's drooping head, and rubbed it.

At the same time, he saw Tong Yan raised his head.

Tong Yan looked at him for a while, his dull eyes became more and more unclear, then slowly raised his arms and touched his head, "My hair is messy?"

Nie Zheng: "..." He could only hum, retracted his arms, sat upright, and turned his eyes to the flowers and plants in the courtyard for a few seconds.

After a few seconds, he continued to look at Tong Yan, "Your mother is amazing."

These words are half coaxing, half comforting, but not entirely false.Ms. Tong has the heart to love her children, which is much better than the two empresses of his family.

Hearing this sentence, Tong Yan's eyes had a flash of brilliance, but the brilliance was suddenly extinguished, leaving only ashes and deeper confusion.

Soon, Nie Zheng heard Tong Yan ask, "Is it wrong for me to choose this path?"

Nie Zheng's heart tightened suddenly...

There is really no problem in logic: mothers finally know how much their past actions have affected their children's future, and it is painful.When the child witnesses this pain, he also begins to suspect that his choice is not correct.

It turned out that Tong Yan was at a loss because of this: Is the entertainment industry going the wrong way?

Even though he knew that Tong Yan was just lost for a while, Nie Zheng wanted to explain it to him.This is going to get deeper, it really hurts people, so Nie Zheng sat still and asked: "At that time, why did you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Tong Yan didn't hide anything, "In the past, everyone could look down on us. If I want to step on them, I have to do something, but I don't know the way to study."

now it's right.Nie Zheng said: "Standing on someone's head, you are not doing it to make a living, you are trying to elevate your class."

Reading is one of the few ways for lower-level children to rise up the class, but Tong delayed it.

"If you want to raise the class, then your choice is not wrong. You use your best strengths to participate in the competition, and now you have a good start."

After Nie Zheng finished speaking, Tong Yan's eyes gradually cleared up.

Very good, sure enough, it was only temporarily lost.

Nie Zheng looked directly into the boy's eyes: "Think about your current income. It turns out that if your neighbor's children want to get this income, they have to study hard for many years, how carefully they have to choose schools and careers, and what else do they need?" Such luck just happened to get a job opportunity suitable for my development."

Tong Yan said, "Yes."

Nie Zheng sighed before saying the following, "So, which road is not difficult to take? I know you are uncomfortable, but there are some things at home, you can only find a way to find a balance. Finding a psychological balance for yourself is also a good idea. Find a psychological balance for your mother. Your discomfort today is just a small bump on the road. You... cheer up. "

Tong Yan understood quite clearly: What Nie Zheng meant was that his entanglement about Tong Yanyan right now was not fundamentally different from the hard work of other low-level children studying hard in Han Chuang.

At this moment, Nie Zheng looked at him with burning eyes, "You have already acted in two plays, the goal of your efforts now is to step on those people's heads?"

Tong Yan shook his head decisively, "No."

Unable to hold back the corners of his mouth, he touched his nose again, "Now, I really like acting a little bit."

It is true that Tong Yan only suffered too much shock during dinner, so he suddenly suspected that he was going in the wrong direction.In short, he felt much better after treating the boss as a trash can.

Not only did he feel much better, but Tong Yan also remembered Nie Zheng's set of things.

After returning to the room, I called his mother, and said: "Mom, don't think about things you shouldn't think about. Even if someone outside says, as long as I'm still earning money, I don't care about anything... Don't worry, it's just letting people chew your tongue. This matter doesn't bother me... What's wrong with being a talking point for others? For the sake of money, compared to the old Sun's family boy Xiong who failed to pass the exam after repeating his studies for three years, and couldn't find a job after passing the exam, I don't think so. What?...You can just wait for the blessings, we have the ticket in hand, laugh at the mad dog."

Although he told a little lie, he really made Tong Yanyan amused.

Tong Yanyan was happy, and Tong Yan felt much more relieved.

But this time, he was not allowed to relax for long, that is, the next morning, Tong Yan received a fucking call that his grandmother had entered the hospital.

The old lady fainted in the toilet before dawn. Tong Yanyan looked at the time and didn't dare to tell him at that time, so she called an ambulance.

Nie Zheng found out about it at noon that day, because he was thinking about what happened the night before, so he called Director Zheng.

He only asked, "How much do you know about Tong Yan and his mother?"

Director Zheng said: "I know a lot. I just heard from Xiaotian that Tong Yan's grandmother has entered the ICU. I'm afraid she won't last for a few days."

The old man who had been ill for a long time was finally on his deathbed.

The old lady herself had uremia, and the reason for her coma this time was cerebral hemorrhage caused by renal hypertension. She was lying in the ICU, which was a waste of money to save her life.

Needless to say, Nie Zheng, the company itself has indicated that this kind of thing happened to the artist's family.

This evening, Tong Yan came back to pack up his things. The purpose of packing up was to go back and be with Tong Yanyan.In the current situation, other than money, no one else can help. The patient is in the intensive care unit, even if the family members want to accompany him, it is impossible. Tong Yan is doing his best when he runs around, and no one can replace him.

Nie Zheng sent Tong Yan downstairs and handed an envelope to him, "Take it."

Tong Yan swished his hand behind him, "I can't ask for any more money from you."

Nie Zheng said, "Reciprocity is the norm."

Reciprocity means: This is the intention of visiting a sick person, just like money.But right now there is nowhere to go to visit the sick, so Nie Zheng can only give his heart to Tong Yan himself.

While talking, the female secretary also came down, "Don't rush to leave, I still have my job."

Since Tong Yan was a child, he hardly walked around with relatives. This was the first time that someone reciprocated with him.The two envelopes, which were not too thick, weighed a thousand catties in their pockets.

Watching Tong Yan's back disappear into the vast night, the female secretary sighed: "These two mothers and sons are really..."

Nie Zheng understood what he hadn't finished speaking.In an almost impoverished family, with a sick old man, Tong Yan's mother and son have survived for so long. Even though no one helped them before, they never thought of giving up. Really, small people have the resilience of small people.

Thinking of something, I glanced at the female secretary, "Which hospital does Mr. Xu's son-in-law work as the dean?"

Even if his family members were sick, Tong Yanxi still didn't dare to leave behind. He was a supporting role, and if he missed the show, everyone had to rearrange the announcement list, and the crew coordinator probably wiped his neck and committed suicide.

However, the old lady was admitted to the ICU of the hospital, and family members visited her from [-]pm to [-]pm every day.During this period of two consecutive days, Tong Yan packed up his things and slipped to the hospital without his own announcement.

Fortunately, this is an urban drama, and most of the scenes are shot in this city.

At noon the next day, Director Zheng came to the set to take a walk around, and then went to the hospital with him.

Tong Yan looked at the payment slip, and after hearing Director Zheng finish speaking: "Can the hospital still offer discounts?"

Director Zheng looked at Tong Yan whose face was obscured by sunglasses and masks, "It's strange? Anyway, remember to bring this note when you check out. Or it will cost three or four thousand a day, hey!"

With a "ding", the elevator stopped on the floor of the intensive care unit.

The two walked out, Tong Yan was stunned: Tong Yanyan was sitting on a bench against the wall in the middle hall, which was not too big, but right next to Tong Yanyan, there was a burly middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

Tong Yan stepped forward, glanced at the man with the corner of his eyes, and said directly to Tong Yanyan, "It's so early."

After Director Zheng finished greeting Tong Yanyan, he took the time to say to the woman, "I won't be here for long, I have a few words to say, come with me."

The mother and son went all the way to the landing of the safe stairs. Tong Yan took out the note from his pocket and handed it to his mother, "Here, use this at the checkout. How much money is left on the card? Not enough for me."

Tong Yanyan said: "It's just the fee, there is no shortage for the time being."

With blood in his heart, Tong Yan endured it for a long time before he smiled as if nothing had happened: "Why is Lao Zhang here? Don't bother him with our family affairs, let him go back later."

At this time, the lounge outside the intensive care unit.

A few stools away, Director Zheng glanced at the scar-faced man next to him, his mind was full of lawsuits.

It was only after he checked Tong Yan's family background that he knew who this man was?Tong Yanyan's patron.

It is not true that Tong Yan said that his mother has been in good health since she was released from prison.After Tong Yanyan was released from prison, she dared not go to entertainment venues to participate in organized prostitution. She did not work in the restaurant recommended by the film police. She usually made money by hooking up with old bachelors nearby. She was considered a half-prostitute.

No matter how much this lady had to go back to her old job at that time, now Director Zheng is really convinced, life is better now, Tong Yanyan has also moved away from her original residence, and she has to behave in a good manner just caring about her son, but still Recruiting former prostitutes to Tong Yan, is this because he is afraid that his son's journey will be too smooth?Or are you afraid that your butt will be too clean?

On the fourth day of the old lady's hospitalization, Nie Zheng went to another place.On the return trip the next day, I came out of the airport at noon, thinking that the indoor set of Director Song's play would be on the way, so I asked the driver to drive the car outside the studio.

After the car stopped for a while, I saw Tong Yan running out.The big boy was still full of vigor, he opened the car door and stuffed himself in, "Mr. Nie, why are you here?"

Tong Yan looked fine, and when the car drove onto the national highway, Nie Zheng thought about it and said, "How is the situation?"

In fact, everyone knows that the situation of the elderly will not get better, but this is a necessary courtesy.Tong Yan lowered his head, and for a moment, turned his face to Nie Zheng. Seeing the worried expression on the man's face, he pulled the corner of his mouth forcefully, "Don't worry, I'm ready for everything."

I was mentally prepared, but after all, it was a life-and-death relationship between close relatives, and no one really had the heart to ask the doctor to pull out the ventilator.

Knowing that he was rushing to the hospital, Nie Zheng looked out the window at the road that was whitened by the sun, and said, "Have you eaten?"

Tong Yan said: "When I came out, the crew hadn't served dinner yet, so I had to rush back at 02:30, and I'll make it up outside the hospital later."

It's too late.

As soon as the car entered the urban area, Nie Zheng caught a glimpse of a fast food restaurant on the road outside the window, called to stop, and asked the driver to go down and buy lunch.

When the driver got in the car, he handed the hamburger and water to Tong Yan at once, "Just make it here."

That night, the old lady of the Tong family spent the last few seconds of her life under God's last blessing.

It's not surprising, he had made enough preparations, and he knew it would be a relief for the old man to lose his breath, but the moment the doctor confirmed the death of the patient, Tong Yan still couldn't even catch his breath.

People don't have reincarnation, even if there is, that wisp of ethereal soul floats out, and it doesn't know where to go.

To be a relative is the fate of this life and no afterlife.

The lying mother is also a mother, without this person, the person would have no roots.

Looking at Tong Yanyan who was crying so hard, Tong Yan could only hold back her tears, and wrapped her trembling hands around Tong Yanyan's shoulders, "It's okay, it's okay, you still have me."

From now on, Tong Yanyan will only have him.
