Rebirth of the entertainment tycoon

"Why did you come here? This doesn't look like a place to play." Shang Jie looked through the car window, looking at the roadside scenery, and confirmed that this was just an ordinary residence.

"I'm here to find inspiration. It's beyond my plan to go to Sun Island with you for a day yesterday." I took my hand out of Shang Jie's claw, pushed down my glasses from time to time, and pulled down my hair. sweat.

The closer he is to home, the more nervous he is. They say he is timid near the hometown, but he is really timid.

"Well, what kind of inspiration are you looking for here?" Although Shang Jie found out that something was wrong with He Xi, he didn't ask directly. After knowing him for half a year, he naturally knew that this kid was very guarded. The last time such an accident happened once That's enough.

"Brother Shang grew up abroad, so he doesn't know much about domestic history?" He Xi knew that his current situation was very bad, and if this continued, it would definitely arouse Shang Jie's suspicion, or it had already aroused... He really should have refused at the beginning A thorough one, don't care about his face, burn the egg!

"Mr. Yanqian has taught ancient history and modern historians, and I still have common sense. I can't trouble myself with ordinary questions." Shang Jie answered quite confidently.

"How much does Brother Shang know about Chuangguandong?" Clenching his slightly trembling fingertips, He Xi pretended to be relaxed and asked, he urgently needed to divert his attention and Shang Jie's attention.

"Kanto refers to the east gate of Shanhaiguan City, now the three northeastern provinces, where the Manchus flourished, their base camp, and the last retreat they left for themselves. Therefore, after the family entered the customs, a ban was issued to prevent Han people from entering the colony. , leaving those fertile lands idle. However, due to the surge in population, land annexation, natural disasters, and people's survival is difficult. Until the 19th century, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were hit by disasters year after year, and bankrupt farmers broke into the Northeast in spite of the ban in order to survive. He started to reclaim the land, hunt animals and forests, and finally brought some popularity there." Shang Jie asked with a smile, "The origin of Chuang Guandong, isn't it?"

"That's right." He Xi nodded, "In 1860, because of Tsarist Russia's unscrupulous encroachment on the territory of Northeast China, Tepuchin went to the imperial court and called for lifting the ban on land reclamation and encouraging immigration, which was adopted. So Zhili, Shandong and other regions Farmers with no or little land entered the Northeast region to reclaim wasteland. Until the September 95th Incident, millions of farmers in the pass immigrated to the Northeast region. Among them, Shandong people accounted for more than 2000% of the total number, about [-] million People, it can be said that most of the ancestors of the aborigines in Northeast China belong to Shandong and other provinces.” In order to find a satisfactory reason for this trip to find relatives, He Xi has put in a lot of effort. It is also quite smooth to memorize, "It can be said that breaking through the Guandong is essentially a spontaneous, irresistible, tragic and heroic movement for survival by poor peasants on the verge of death."

"Why did you suddenly think of writing this kind of subject?" Shang Jie nodded his head to express his understanding, and then expressed his doubts.

Because my ancestors were from Shandong who broke through the Guandong, my great-grandfather still has a little memory of what happened back then. When "Crossing the Guandong" was shown on TV, he often pulled me to watch it and talked about his father's experience.This topic is just convenient for me to find him, interview him, and then meet my parents!

Of course, the real reason for this cannot be said.

"Because my uncle and aunt's wages are reduced." He Xi threw out the remarks he had prepared earlier in the morning.

"Ah?" Shang Jie was a little puzzled when he heard this. Are they really discussing the same issue?

"..." As soon as the words fell, He Xi also realized that her answer was a bit nonsensical, quite like "it's cold, let XXXX go bankrupt", so she could only try her best not to turn her face towards the word "囧". As the situation develops, he puts out the following rhetoric to remedy, "It's not just them, all the workers in their factory have their wages lowered. I heard from them that they are very idle recently, and as far as I know, this family is not the only one that has been idle. factory."

"What do you want to say?" Shang Jie finally recovered his normal look.

"Brother Shang is a student of economics, and someone in his family is in politics. Naturally, he sees it farther than ordinary people. Why don't you predict what the most serious social problems will be in a few years?" At this time, He Xi was quite charismatic.

"What could it be, economic depression? Bankruptcy of the enterprise? A sharp increase in the number of unemployed people?" Shang Jie stared at He Xi for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth indifferently, "Everything shows that these are just things that will happen sooner or later. Of course, more than Speaking of prophecy, I prefer to use the word speculation, which is more scientific."

Why don't you speculate on inflation, soaring prices, soaring housing prices, tsunamis and earthquakes in the next 20 years!Is this the difference between elites and ordinary people?Is the gap so big? If there are too many people like you, it would be a mess for someone like me to be reborn...

"Brother Shang is really amazing." He Xi sternly praised without sincerity, but fortunately, they are friends, not enemies, so let's be content, more than the best and the worst.

"Didn't you see it too? Are you complimenting me or yourself?" Shang Jie stretched out his paws to rub He Xi's hair, but was blocked by He Xi's cold gaze, almost Forget it, He Xi hates people moving his head the most.

"That's why I wrote "Crossing the Guandong" to those quasi-unemployed people. I just want them to know that if you want to survive, you have to work hard, and no one will talk to you when you sit and complain." Well done, look, at this moment, I am filled with a sense of social responsibility, isn't it!

"I think it's better to make it into a TV series. Those people usually seldom read books." Shang Jie kindly reminded.

"Sister Min is going to go crazy." He Xi took out a piece of paper and wiped her hands, "She called yesterday to scold you for being unkind and leaving her alone."

"It's okay, I've already asked Jenny to recruit people, and it'll be fine when all the people are ready." Shang Jie patted He Xi's shoulder to assure, "Here we are."

The car door opened, He Xi looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, her eyes were slightly warm.Shang Jie felt the slight tremor under his palm and raised his brows lightly. Was he really just looking for inspiration?

After getting out of the car, the children playing in the distance were looking at this side curiously. All of them had flushed faces from the cold, and their noses were protracted. Two of them were busy helping the snowman put on their hats and had no time to raise their heads. He Xi looked carefully at them. After a while, I didn't see myself when I was a child. I didn't know whether it was disappointment or happiness for a while.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" An aunt who happened to come out of the door saw two strange young people standing at the door. Seeing that they didn't look like locals, she probably came looking for someone, so she asked enthusiastically.

"Excuse me, does old Mr. Zheng Wensheng live here?" He Xi looked away, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said humbly. The old man in front of her was his neighbor, Grandma Zhang, who often hugged him when she was a child.

"Zheng Wensheng?" Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and finally remembered that this is the name of the old man who has made political achievements. She hurriedly let them in, and at the same time shouted into the door, "Old Zheng's family, someone is looking for your old man !"

"Hey, here we come." After a while, a pleasant but unfamiliar female voice came from inside. He Xi hesitated and took two steps. The woman had already lifted the thick cotton curtain and walked out, but seeing He Xi Shang Jie and the two didn't know each other, so he hesitated for a while and asked with a smile on his face, "Who are you?"

"We heard that Mr. Zheng was born in Chuangguandong, and we want to hear him talk about ancient times." He Xi was pushed by Shang Jie and regained his senses. Although he couldn't remember who this woman was at the moment, he thought about asking later It is natural to know if you ask, it is important to see your family after you have entered the house.

"Oh, that's it, please come in, please come in, it's cold outside." The woman saw that He Xi and Shang Jie didn't look like bad guys, and they were all around, so even the bad guys were not afraid, so she let them in sideways door.

He Xi endured the emotional turmoil in his heart, walked slowly and looked carefully, recalling bits and pieces of his childhood, but the more he looked, the deeper the doubts in his heart.

The yellow leather sofa that was originally placed in the living room is gone, replaced by two red lacquered wooden chairs, and the yellow lacquered three-door wardrobe that my mother brought over as a dowry. He secretly glanced at the master bedroom but didn't see it. The three-drawer and two-cabinet desk that can’t be wiped off is gone, and the simple shoe rack made by my father, and the small armchair that my grandfather made for me and has been used for more than 20 years, have not been seen, and other bits and pieces The little things are even more strange...

If he hadn't seen his great-grandfather lying on the bed and listening to the radio in time, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Mr. Zheng?" He Xi remembered that although his great-grandfather lived a long time, he was fine when he left, but his ears were deaf long ago, so he had to lie down next to his ear and shout.

"Oh, oh, you, who's child are you?" The old man's hearing is not good, so he thought that others, like him, used to shout when they talked. Zheng Qian was very annoyed by this, but He Xi now But just feel nostalgic.

After clarifying his intentions, Mr. Zheng readily agreed, and dragged He Xi to talk about the hardships of his ancestors. He said that when his father was the most successful, he had more than 20 restaurants in his hand, holding a whole When I was in the shop on the street, the face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles was full of glory.This time He Xi didn't lose his mind impatiently, he listened very carefully and remembered very seriously.

It seemed that everything before was just a dream, and now he finally woke up, and CCAV8 replayed "Crossing the Guandong", so Grandpa dragged himself to reminisce about the past...

"Granddaughter-in-law, why don't you bring food and drink for the children." The old man said happily, and He Xi's carefulness, patience and cuteness won his heart, and he felt that this child was much more pleasing than his family's Qiuqiu.

"Come here, come here, isn't it here?" The woman who led them in listened to the order, and brought in a bag of peanut sunflower seeds, glutinous rice cakes and candies in a short while, and said with a smile, "It's almost noon Now, let's stay for lunch together. My old man is so happy, but I have to thank you very much, you can't be polite."

"That's troublesome." Shang Jie reminded He Xi several times, but he didn't make a sound, so he had to answer for him. The woman got the answer and went out satisfied.

"Grandpa, who is that aunt?" He Xi who was startled by the phrase "granddaughter-in-law" still couldn't believe it, and asked the old man in front of her.

"That's my granddaughter-in-law, Xiufang, who is also a good child, filial." The old man replied cheerfully, picking up an orange and stuffing it into He Xi's hand, "You are also a good child, you are all good children."

"Then how many grandchildren do you have?" He Xi took the oranges and asked with a smile, but his heart couldn't stop sinking. He clearly remembered that the other sons of his great-grandfather had all left early, and only the youngest son, grandpa, was left , Grandpa has been living with his youngest son.And grandpa, although he has six daughters, but his son has only one father...

"Grandson? Oh, the old man has only one grandson, but there are several granddaughters. Hey, the little Japan killed people. The old man originally had four sons..." He Xi didn't listen to what the old man said. I know, that woman is my father's wife, but what about my mother?Where is mom?

"Mom, I'm back!" Through the thick cotton curtain, the crisp and tender child's voice was still clearly heard.

"When I came in, Aunt Zhang said that someone was looking for Grandpa? Who is it?" A familiar male voice, it was Dad...

"I don't know. They said they came to listen to the story. The car at the door belongs to them. They probably came from a long way away." It was that female voice again, the voice of the woman who was supposed to be the mother, "I look at Grandpa. I like them very much, so I will leave them for dinner, before my parents come back, I will go to the non-staple food store and buy some food, and I will wait in this pot."

"Okay, then I'll go right away." Zheng Fanghua simply agreed.

"Father, I'm going too, I'm going too." He Xi closed her eyes, her heart ached, that strange little girl was occupying the place that should belong to him...

"Hurry up and go back to the house, it's so cold outside, don't follow me." It was clearly a stern voice, but He Xi could hear the smell of pampering from there.

Suddenly, the eyes that had been sore all the time couldn't hold any more, and two lines of tears slipped from the eyes without warning...

"Boy?" Although the old man is deaf, his eyes are not blurred. Shang Jie, who was sitting behind him, could not see He Xi's changing expression, but the old man could see clearly. His complexion suddenly turned gray, like a mourning concubine, and his face turned pale. , and suddenly burst into tears, the old man was a little worried, "What is this uncomfortable? Is it freezing? Drink some water quickly to get rid of the cold."

"No need, grandpa, I... Let's go first, and I'll see you later." Although He Xi was sad, but she didn't want to be seen by too many people, she took out the gift she had prepared for a long time from her bag, and hurriedly Get up and lift the curtain to go out.

"Ah, old man, we will come to see you later." Shang Jie, who had no idea what had happened, nodded at the old man, grabbed his coat and the overcoat that He Xi had forgotten, and chased him out.

"Hey, why are we leaving now? The meal is almost ready, wait." He Xi rushed too fast, the woman couldn't stop him, but Shang Jie didn't run too slowly, she couldn't stop him, so he could only shout up.

"No trouble, I'm sorry, my brother is not feeling well and we have to leave now." Hearing this, Shang Jie had to stop and politely explained the reason.

"Yes, yes, your health is critical, so you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. It's cold here, and many foreigners can't bear it when they first come here."

"Sorry." When Shang Jie got into the car, He Xi had already calmed down, at least Shang Jie didn't see anything wrong on his face, "Let's move on to the next one."

"Are you okay?" Shang Jie didn't believe that He Xi had gone crazy just now, and he was still a little worried, "If you feel uncomfortable, let's go back first and continue tomorrow. Or, simply hand it over to the people below to collect and organize, it's better than yourself It’s such a quick visit from family to family, and a lot of information can be collected.”

"No need, I have enough time." Naturally, He Xi did not obey, Shang Jie sensitively noticed that He Xi's voice seemed a little hoarse, "Go to the next one."

"You have a cold, you should go to rest." Shang Jie frowned disapprovingly.

"I know what I'm doing, please be quiet!" He Xi's composure at the moment was just pretending.

Something was wrong, something was wrong, Shang Jie was not irritated by He Xi's tone, but he was more sure that there was something wrong with that family.

The next old man he wanted to visit lived opposite He Xi's mother's house. It was his excuse to visit his grandparents, but now he was looking for his mother.

Knocking on the wrong door on purpose, He Xi not only saw his grandparents, but also his mother, and the boy behind his mother who followed suit.

He heard him call his mother his mother, and his grandpa and grandma as grandpa and grandma, but this child didn't look like him when he was a child...

"The kid is so cute, what's his name?" He Xi has never been so grateful for his facial paralysis in his previous life and his habits in this life, so he is still so calm in the eyes of outsiders.

"Chen Qian, my father's surname is Chen, and my mother's surname is Qian, so my name is Chen Qian!" The eight-year-old answered seriously for the sake of candy.

Sure enough, it was his mother's style of naming. At first, because his father's surname was Zheng and his mother's surname was Qian, his name was Zheng Qian. Because of this name, his classmates often made fun of him.

"My child, return the candy to my brother. You can take it for you. You don't know how to be polite!" The mother, who is more than ten years younger, clapped the child's hand angrily, and rushed to He Xishang in embarrassment. Jie smiled, "Go find Uncle Fan at the opposite door, he has gone to his girl's house, and he probably won't come back in a few days."

"Okay, then... Auntie", I didn't expect that I would become the "other" in my mother's mouth, He Xi took a deep breath, resisted the pain in my heart, and called out such an unfamiliar name to my mother, "We Let's go first, goodbye..."

"Goodbye." Qian Jinli smiled awkwardly at He Xi when he saw that the cat-shaped chocolate handed over by the other party was held tightly by his son, and he couldn't take it out. Thank you brother, goodbye brother."

"Goodbye, brother!" The child who won the resistance waved happily at He Xi.

He Xi didn't look back, walked into the car wearily, ignored Shang Jie's question, and fell asleep hugging the pillow in the car.

All of this is just a dream. When he wakes up, he will find that he is still on the plane to Bingcheng. It is like this, it must be like this...
