What to do with a full-scale life

Chapter 183 Brother Zhang's Day

On summer nights, Chang’an Lane is always lively. There are no rich people here. No matter what their status is, most people live in this place not in pursuit of prosperity. The unseen fireflies are another kind of pursuit in life.

A bamboo bed, a cattail fan, sitting or leaning on, in groups of three or four, a fluorescent lamp, a mosquito coil, a pair of poker, a table of mahjong, dotted with the laughter of adults and the sound of children chasing and fighting , who is going to care about the hustle and bustle outside.

There are not many old people left. Although the remaining young faces come and go, there are always new stories and new people. Although there is only a wall between here and the bustling world, who dares to say that those tall buildings People in the depths will not be full of envy when they take instant noodles in and out of the cubicle with a hasty glance.

I don’t know how many years the big sycamore tree has grown, but it is different from those French sycamore trees that lose their hair in season. This sycamore tree standing in the middle of Chang’an Alley is said to have attracted the phoenix to stay here.

Among the card players are the little old men in their 50s wearing a vest and slippers. They don't want any image, and they are not monsters or ghosts, but they know everything here and are used to it.

They know better than anyone what the things that have lived here with them for many years, and many people have even lived in the same yard with those abnormal creatures for a long time, if everyone does not understand each other, it is somewhat unreasonable .

But people, that's what it is.After a long time, there is actually nothing to be surprised about. The relationship between neighbors and neighbors has always been good. As for whether the neighbors are human or ghosts, it doesn't matter that much.Even the few humans in Chang'an Lane are not used to moving out now. After all, compared to other people, the so-called demons and goblins are smarter, more open-minded and more humane.

"Drink?" The uncle at the door looked at the big goose returning from work outside and shouted: "Authentic roast goose."

"Go to your grandma's old stuff."

Although he was scolded, the old man didn't care at all, he just laughed, and then picked up a goose leg to eat, and the offended big white goose was not angry at all, just scolded the old guy angrily Then I pushed my little bike back home.

If there is a fly in the ointment in Chang'an Alley, it is probably that the lifespans of humans and non-humans are too different, just like the old man and the white goose just now. The goose is still a young man.

Therefore, there will be no fewer joys and sorrows in Chang'an Lane than any other place. Love, friendship, and family affection have been shown alternately in the past.

Most of the time, only by going deep into a group can one see clearly why there were so many taboos between humans and ghosts, because humans are really short-lived, while demons are too long-lasting, and bonding often only increases loneliness.

"Why do you always see you sitting here drinking alone recently?"

"Lao Zhang is gone, no one plays chess with me anymore." The man who spoke was a young man who looked eighteen or nineteen, but his eyes showed a vicissitudes of life: "Lao Li is gone, and the drinkers are gone. .”

After he finished speaking, he cocked his legs in a very old-fashioned way, and hummed to the little tune on the radio. It seemed strange and out of harmony, but it was quite normal in Chang'an Lane.

"You can't form a relationship." Someone sat under a big locust tree and sighed to the children who didn't understand anything around them: "Don't make a relationship with others, it will make you sad."

But upon hearing his words, the white lady in a small suit was already crying until she couldn't make a sound.

She was sitting in the shade of a tree, with Zombie Brother sitting next to her, and when she heard the chatter of the people around her, her heart that was already shattered into powder was hit hard again.

Monster, nine out of ten are things of long-term love. Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of years of nostalgia have turned into thousands of waiting after she left. But is the old man who has no memory for a long time still Ta?
The evening wind blew, and the hair fluttered with the evening wind. The white lady raised her head and took a deep breath, reaching out to wipe the tears on her face: "I want to give up."

Brother Zombie didn't answer, just took a sip of the beer in hand, looked up at the stars in the sky: "I miss my mother."

After a long time, the white lady jumped down from the steps after her mood gradually stabilized: "I want to live here too! I like it here."

Brother Zombie still didn't answer, just smiled and didn't say anything else.

At this time, a man on a bicycle slowly came to the door of the milk tea shop. He stood under the steps and looked up for a few times, then pushed the door and walked in.

This Wednesday, the main dish of the milk tea shop is rice wine razor clams. Master Pi is eating chicken while licking the razor clams. Now that she has money, she can eat whatever she wants, and she has to order one of the main dishes every day. Who cares? Mom likes to eat or not, and if she doesn't like to eat, she can give it to others, as long as she can spend money, it's over.

The noise at the door caught Master Pi's attention, she turned her head to take a look, then moved to the side, and continued to eat.

The person who came was Mr. Lin. With a lost smile on his face, he went to the counter and returned the key to brother Zhang.

Little Brother Zhang didn't ask anything, just accepted the key, and Teacher Lin also tacitly didn't ask anything, just turned around and was about to go out, but at this moment Little Brother Zhang said: "There is a new rice wine today, Daughter is red."

Hearing these words, Mr. Lin stopped in his tracks, turned around and sat back down. He looked a little tired, but he didn't want to say anything more.This is probably also understandable, no one has not mentioned the pain that is not far away.

A jar of good daughter red, a bowl of rice wine razor clams, tons of tons, tons of tons, go back to sleep and any panacea will work.

"This is delicious." Master Pi didn't have any empathy. After she finished eating, she even drank all the razor clam soup in the bowl, and then wiped her mouth: "Have another serving!"

Brother Xiao Zhang hummed, bowed his head and began to deal with it.While Master Pi was waiting there with his chin propped, he suddenly said, "Do you know what Zhang Yao has been doing these days?"

"What?"

"She said she was going to develop a multi-angle three-dimensional mobile device, hahahaha... She hit the wall on the first day of the successful development, and she is still in the hospital."

"Is she okay?" Brother Zhang raised his head and asked, "Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, but the toe and three fingers are broken, and she won't let me tell you, saying it's too embarrassing." Master Pi laughed and said, "That three-dimensional maneuver... Hahahaha, it's so interesting."

Master Pi is notoriously brainless, she has no idea what Zhang Yao can do with that gadget, but brother Zhang knows, because although the reaction limit of human beings is similar to that of demons, the problem is that most demons are either Being able to fly or being able to jump is particularly good, like Hu Niu, although she can't fly, she can jump hundreds of kilometers in one big jump, which is almost the same as flying.But humans obviously can't do this, so Zhang Yao must want to develop a device that allows humans to easily perform three-dimensional maneuvers in short-distance spaces.

It's just that I didn't expect... to die before leaving the teacher, and my toe was broken.However, Brother Zhang thinks that Zhang Yao will succeed, not because of the friendship of friends, but precisely because of Zhang Yao's dead-end posture and very solid engineering skills, she must be able to develop it, I just hope she Don't take too many detours, because you will really be killed...

The night was getting darker, Mr. Lin was already lying on the counter and fell asleep on the counter, and Brother Zhang just put him on the sofa before closing the stall and didn't disturb the heartbroken man too much. At this time, he needed it most. is a good dream.

"This man is broken in love."

Xu Wei, who helped clean up, wiped her hands with her apron and asked Xiao Zhang curiously, "It's so miserable."

Brother Zhang chuckled lightly and said, "It may be worse than being broken in love."

Early morning came quietly, Brother Zhang picked up a blanket and covered Teacher Lin's body, then turned off the lights and closed the stall.

After returning to the room, brother Zhang turned on the computer and started to collect the emails, but the resumes he sent out seemed to disappear. Since Zhu Zhenzhen's company was transferred, he never found a decent job again.

Although it doesn't make much sense for him to go to work, he still really likes going to work, or it can be said that he likes dealing with people more and more, and likes listening to others tell their stories.

After sitting there for a long time with no new emails, he took out his phone and looked around. Although there were many, many people in his phone, most of the time it was impossible for those people to send him messages because they didn't dare.But today it was a novelty, his former colleague, that is, Xiao Xiao who had been bewitched left him a message.

The general content is to ask him about his recent situation, and then ask him if he has found a job, and then he also talked about his own situation, that is, she has been fired by the new boss and is now looking for a job. If you are free, you can look for a job with her.

After half a year, Xiao Xiao was the first person who would take the initiative to ask Brother Zhang about his current situation. The girl who fined Brother Zhang 200 yuan was quite cute, so Brother Zhang sent her a reply, very seriously. , without the slightest bit of perfunctory, the full text is as follows:

"Hi Xiaoxiao, everything is fine for me recently. I went to Hong Kong and Macau to relax some time ago. I have also looked for a job recently, but nothing happened. It may be because my conditions are not very good and my education level is relatively low. , but I should make a movie in a while, if you are interested, I can recommend to my friends that you also try the mirror."

In this day and age, being able to restore another person's information so earnestly and without perfunctory is considered a rare breed. Anyway, Xiao Zhang doesn't know what others think, and he still cherishes other people's concern.

The main reason is probably that he didn't seem to have been cared about much since he was a child. Although he didn't say it, he still longed for a friendship that truly belonged to the world and had nothing to do with his identity.

He didn't sleep at night, anyway, it doesn't make any sense to him, and now that every year is a holiday, Xu Wei is gradually able to take care of herself, Brother Zhang is more willing to spend the time he saves on playing games Or read a book.

As soon as the scorching sun rose in the morning, Xiao Zhang’s cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, it turned out that Xiao Xiao had sent him a message back, which probably meant that he could try it out, and then asked Xiao Zhang about what he wanted. Prepare something.

Brother Xiao Zhang didn't know, so he said he asked, and then he sent a message to Wugenshui. Wugenshui is the producer of the new movie and the biggest funder. Bringing a friend into the set, he didn't even frown, but he still talked to Brother Zhang with a professional attitude, probably if you don't have relevant experience, it's best to go to the surrounding crew first. The walk-on fit adapts to the feeling and state of being in front of the camera.

This is not to ask Xiao Zhang to go, just to let Xiao Xiao get used to it, but Xiao Zhang is a bit misunderstood, but he agreed without asking, and then truthfully told the truth about Wugenshui. Xiao Xiao, and added a sentence at the end: "I also want to go with you to get used to it in advance, let's play tricks first."

Xiao Xiao readily agreed: "Then just do what you say, and meet where you say."

After the two happily arranged to meet outside the surrounding film and television city, Xiao Zhang rode there on his little electric donkey, and when they got there, they found that Xiao Xiao had already arrived, and was eating breakfast vigorously there.

"You came so fast."

"The place I rented is right there." Xiaoxiao cunningly pointed to an apartment building not far away: "Hehe...I didn't expect that."

Brother Xiao Zhang also smiled, then looked up at the film and television base in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that tens of thousands of devils die here every day."

"That's right, they make a lot of noise every day when they're filming. Otherwise, why do you think such a good house only costs 800 yuan a month? It's just too noisy." Pointing to the apartment building, Xiaoxiao said, "Every night I will be noisy by the sound of explosions." Awake."

"Then you don't complain."

"It's poor. Once a person is poor, he has no choice. If I don't live here, I will sleep on the cement pipe."

Although I haven't known Xiaoxiao for a long time, this girl is actually very interesting. She has pulled out the Gu worms now, and she looks much healthier than before. After getting rid of the trouble of non-stop eating, she Sunshine is much more confident now, and she is very lively overall. Although life is still relatively embarrassing, it can be seen that her mood does not seem to be affected much.

Brother Xiao Zhang locked the electric car outside, and then walked into the movie city with Xiao Xiao. This place is very big, divided into many areas, such as modern dramas, Republic of China dramas, Qing Palace dramas, costume dramas, spy movies, etc. You can find the corresponding scenery in it, which is quite fresh for newcomers.

"How can we be a group performer?" Xiao Xiao's eyes were darkened on this aspect: "Did your friend tell me who to look for?"

Brother Xiao Zhang held a deep-fried stick in his hand, looked at the people around him who were going to work one after another with a confused face, and then sent a message to Rootless Water, but Rootless Water said directly that he asked Brother Zhang to send the little Give him the VX, and Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Sure enough, after Xiao Zhang gave Xiaoxiao WeChat to Wugenshui, within 5 minutes, someone added Xiaoxiao, and his words were extremely polite. The chubby man ran over, and as soon as he came over, he held his little hand and said enthusiastically: "I kept you waiting for a long time, Mr. Mei told me, I will Bring you into the group."

But Xiao Xiao looked back at Brother Zhang and said, "What about him...he is my friend."

"This..." The man scratched his head, and then looked around Xiao Zhang, and found that his appearance was not bad, so he simply stomped his feet: "Okay, come on, come together!"
