Author: Qinggu
The acquaintance between Yu Junhao and the two old men is not a particularly bloody story.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu are not empty nesters either.
The old couple had a son and a daughter, and they would come over to see the old man every now and then.
The conditions of my son and daughter are not bad either, and they all successfully bought houses before the housing prices in the imperial capital rose.
Logically speaking, given the current conditions of their son and daughter, the old couple can definitely live a leisurely life and enjoy happiness.
But what the old couple said:
"We are not used to living in that pigeon cage. Although the conditions here are a bit worse, it is comfortable and convenient for us to do a small business. We don't expect to get rich, but just make a little money to support the two of us. That's enough.
Our conditions are not very good and we have not been able to create good material conditions for our children. We also hope that when we grow old, we will not be too much of a drag on them. By the way, we will take care of the young people living nearby who have a difficult life!"
Xia Yu touched his hand and said, "The Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, if I remember correctly, seems to be nearby?"
"Yes!" Yu Junhao smiled.
"I was also helped by Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu! Because it's so close, eating here is cheap. A bowl of mutton soup with steamed buns only cost five yuan at the time, and you could refill the bowl. I've been eating here for two years.
…”
At this point, the topic has gone a little far.
Four tables were gathered together, and there were four small hot pot stoves, one for Mr. and Mrs. Xu, and one for each of Xia and Yu.
The soup was really fragrant and fresh. Xia Yu picked up the spoon, took a spoonful, blew it to cool it slightly, and took a sip into his mouth. His taste buds were instantly opened.
The mutton underneath has also been braised. It melts in your mouth exaggeratedly, but it is soft and delicious, worthy of the title of a ten-year-old restaurant.
Xia Yu threw a few pieces of white radish into the pot, and the soup spilled onto the edge of the pot, making a "sizzling" sound.
In autumn, drinking mutton soup is nourishing, and eating white radish is even more nourishing. There is also a saying that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer.
Yu Junhao rarely shares past events, but since he has said it all, he doesn't mind saying more or less.
In other words, he had a rare thought. If he said a few more words, maybe he could... let Xia Yu know more about him?
Even though Tao Tang probably checked him thoroughly at the beginning of the cooperation.
"The first year I came to the imperial capital to study, I had bad luck. Half a year's living expenses were stolen when I first came here. In the end... I was able to survive that winter by helping to wash dishes and clean the dishes at Grandpa Xu's place, and eating a few meals.
"
I don’t know whether his face is filled with emotion or remembrance:
"Perhaps, among other capable peers, they can find better part-time jobs. But for me, who comes from a poor family, when I first arrived in the imperial capital, I was a little timid and had low self-esteem.
The shameless talk to Grandpa Xu about this part-time job was the result of the courage I mustered up after being hungry for two days and walking back and forth at the entrance of the alley for several hours..."
There was a calm smile on his face.
When talking about these things, there is no embarrassment at all, but a sense of reconciliation.
Perhaps, he has never been worried about this since many years ago.
No one can choose what family they are born into and what kind of characters their parents are.
It was a pretty miserable time.
"At that time, I was very afraid of being rejected. If I didn't get the job, I might not be able to bear it and drop out of school."
Yu Junhao is actually a little scared - because if that is the case, his life may change drastically.
I can't treat my mother with all my strength, I can't complete my studies, I can't meet the career I like, the person I like...
Lao Xu sighed with emotion: "So after that time, this kid came to help every now and then. Until he became a big star, he never forgot us two old guys every year during the New Year and holidays..."
We didn’t talk about anything big, just old things:
"My son and daughter come here occasionally. When I first found out that Jun Hao had become a star, I couldn't believe it!"
"We have been following the rules for a lifetime. We, the old couple, thought that we were Jun Hao's nobles. Unexpectedly, Jun Hao became our nobles later. He not only saved our two lives, but also took care of my daughter's son.
With my connections, I was able to arrange a better job - and even successfully bought a house in the Imperial Capital!"
"Don't look at us still living in this small slum, a village in the city... A few years ago, Junhao asked us to find a bigger store, or to renovate it, and to hire two helpers, but we both refused.
Not used to it."
Old Xu and his wife didn't know how close Xia Yu and Yu Junhao were.
Because Yu Junhao has always avoided answering questions about relationships, and today’s meal is about the same thing, “Invite a good friend to dinner!”
That is to say, when Granny Xu saw Xia Yu and Yu Junhao's appearance, she could see her thoughts and couldn't help but be surprised.
The old couple know Yu Junhao as an actor, but at most they go to the cinema to support him. They only pay attention to current affairs news, weather forecasts, and entertainment news, but rarely pay attention to it.
Even if the children of the old couple know some rumors, the entertainment industry is a big mess, and the rumors are true or false. They are not sure about the news, so they will naturally not nag them to their parents.
But they are clear about the [Yu Junhao incident].
Knowing that it was the actress named Xia Yu, the manager behind it helped him, and sighed:
"Except for that winter, I helped Jun Hao a lot. Later, our family inherited Jun Hao's favor and helped here and there. We kept giving gifts during the New Year and holidays, and even asked Xiao Wang to arrange physical examinations for us every day - a few years ago
We were very angry and helpless when something happened. I heard that it was Xiaoxia, your agent who helped Junhao. Thank you so much to her and you all!
Didn't she come today? Then next time you have a chance, remember to come and have a meal!
We old couple don’t have much ability, but everyone around here knows that this mutton soup is pretty good, so I want to thank you in person!”
"Jun Hao's family members are gone. Although we, the old couple, can't help, we can still be considered Jun Hao's relatives in the imperial capital!"
The old couple lamented:
"We have watched Junhao come all the way - he is really a good boy... From the time he graduated from college to now, he is thirty-six or seventy years old. Our daughter and daughter got married a few years ago, and now we have grandchildren.
.”
"To put it bluntly, we can't control whether Jun Hao gets married or not, but we still hope he can find a good partner."
But maybe it was through Yu Junhao that the old couple stopped talking about this topic.
There is no more talk about topics such as "Are you Junhao's girlfriend?" or "Do you want to consider our Junhao?"
"Although we two old people don't know much about the current film and television entertainment industry, we have both seen the movies you made. Girl, you acted really well. I heard Jun Hao say that you are now a national second-level actor.
?Are you one of the top actresses among the younger generation? She said she has won several awards abroad and several domestic awards too? It’s really good!”
"It's good to be friends, and we can support each other!"
