The bard joins the entertainment industry

"Little tiger!!! You slap me again!" Chen Ping grunted twice and angrily came to trouble him.

Xiaohu squinted his eyes and didn't look at him at all. After he blocked his sunlight, he stretched out his claws like lightning.

Slap him on the head and knock him aside.

"Uncle Shuoshuo, take care of it." Chen Ping said this, but actually he and several other children gathered around Chen Shuo, reaching out to touch Xiaohu's body.

When Chen Shuo followed Chen Yukun to the imperial capital, he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone such a big cat, so he could only leave it to the elders of the family to help take care of it.

At this moment, I guess I smelled his scent and followed him.

Although the tiger cub is huge and powerful in combat, it has a very docile temperament. Especially when it comes to children and the elderly, it is gentler than any cat.

Although he likes to beat Chen Ping, he has a good relationship with him.

Chen Shuo played with it for a while, then put it on the ground and let it play with Chen Ping.

He went into the house to tidy up.

The three mud-tile houses have stone foundations and walls made of mud and wheat straw. They were originally covered with thatch. Later, Chen Shuo's father earned some money and replaced them with gray tiles.

Originally, it was intended to be renovated into a brick house, but as Chen Shuo's appetite grew larger and larger and he was taken care of to support him, there was no time to renovate it.

Later, his father had an accident, and his grandfather could barely support him, let alone earn money to build a house.

The doors and windows are very small. As soon as you enter, it feels dark, as if you have entered a basement.

The ground is a rough cement floor, and some places are already powdered.

The west room was separated by a wall, while the east room and the main room were only partially covered with curtains.

On the wall directly opposite the door, there is a dusty and somewhat shabby landscape painting hanging, with a table underneath.

In front of the table is an Eight Immortals table, and below it is a small square table only 60 cm high and 60 cm long and wide, with a small chair on each side.

This is the place where Chen Shuo and his grandfather had dinner.

There is a painting on the wall. There is a table against the wall. In front of the table is the Eight Immortals table, which is also used as an offering table and then as a dining table for eating.

The main hall in the north basically has this layout, at least it is similar here in Lanling.

There is an earth stove on the left side of the door, and a little pile of firewood on the other side.

The stoves in the village are basically set up in a shed in the yard, called a pot house, but my grandfather moved the stove into the house to facilitate brewing.

The east room is where Chen Shuo and his grandfather sleep. Grandpa sleeps against the wall and Chen Shuo sleeps by the window.

There are two huge food jars against the wall between the two beds, and two wooden boxes are placed on top of the jars, which are used to store clothes.

There are six large tanks half as tall as a man on the north wall of the west room, the lower half of which are still buried underground. There is an open space on the south side.

The vat is filled with the wine made by grandpa, and the open space is used to dry grain and distiller's yeast. At this time, there are also piles of wooden barrels, bamboo tubes and other brewing tools.

Chen Shuo took out some old clothes from the wooden box and changed them, found a piece of cloth to wrap his head and face, and started cleaning.

First, they dismantled the bed, took the tables, chairs and other things outside, and asked Chen Ping and others to wash them with well water and put them in the sun to dry.

He took a broom, bamboo pole, etc. and began to clean the dust and cobwebs in the house.

The house was small, the belongings were few, and there was nothing to take care of. The work was all done in a short time.

Chen Shuo climbed up to the roof again and took a look. It had been unoccupied for a long time. Some of the tiles on the roof were broken and there were leaks in many places.

When he was packing his things just now, he saw signs of water leakage.

I need to find some bricks and tiles to repair tomorrow.

"Shuoshuo is back!" He was looking through the roof when he heard a sonorous greeting coming from behind him.

He turned around and saw that it was Chen Yusheng, the uncle of the uncle's family.

"Uncle, I'm back." Chen Shuo stepped on the solid spot on the wall and jumped down lightly.

"I was just waiting at the entrance of the village when someone said you were back. How long have you been back?"

"I just came back and tidied up the house."

"This house hasn't been occupied for half a year. Can we still live in it? Come live at my house."

"No, I checked, it's okay, it hasn't snowed or rained in the past two days, it's okay.

I'll just find some tiles and patch them up tomorrow. "

"Don't clean up yet. It's already noon. Let's go home for dinner first." After Chen Yusheng finished speaking, he shouted to a group of children in the courtyard: "Stop playing and go home for dinner."

Xiaoping, call Uncle Yu’s house for dinner. "

A group of children screamed and dispersed, and Chen Ping came to pull Chen Shuo.

"Okay." Chen Shuo didn't refuse, washed his hands, took some things from the suitcase, and followed Chen Yusheng and Chen Ping to his home.

When we got home, the aunt was cooking in the pot house, the uncle was sitting at the door of the house basking in the sun, and the elder brother Chen Guo and the elder sister-in-law were clearing the table.

This is really the eldest brother and sister-in-law. He is more than ten years older than Chen Shuo, almost thirty years old.

"Master, aunt, brother and sister-in-law." Chen Shuo greeted loudly after entering the courtyard.

"Shuoshuo is here, sit down and eat quickly." The uncle saw him, stood up and greeted him.

"Hey, okay." Chen Shuo handed the things in his hand to his sister-in-law, then helped his grandfather into the house and sat down.

Chen Guo took a bottle of wine and opened it. Chen Shuo saw it and hurriedly took it and poured the wine.

At this time, the aunt and sister-in-law brought the dishes, and everyone sat together and drank a glass of wine, then started eating and chatting.

The main thing is to ask Chen Shuo how he has been during the past six months.

Chen Shuo didn't tell everything. He only said that he didn't follow Chen Yukun to serve pancakes, but acted with others.

Grandpa thought that Chen Shuo had joined someone else's opera troupe, and was worried about whether he could still learn it now that he was old.

The eldest brother Chen Guo and his sister-in-law are no longer working at home, but go south to work.

I also have some knowledge about actors and other things, so I helped explain it.

However, there are not many star-chasers in the family. They watch TV more to watch the excitement and just think that Chen Shuo has done a special job.

We ate at one o'clock and lasted until three or four o'clock. The aunt and sister-in-law had already gone to do other things. Chen Shuo, his uncle, Chen Yusheng, and Chen Guo were drinking and chatting at the table.

At this time, almost everyone in the village knew that Chen Shuo was back, and many people came to the uncle's home.

Most of them are brothers, sisters and close relatives who grew up with Chen Shuo.

The aunt and sister-in-law simply cleaned up and started cooking and had dinner.

When he left home, Chen Shuo's bedding was left at his uncle's house for fear of getting damaged.

After dinner in the evening, he refused Chen Guo's invitation and went home with Xiaohu in his arms.

When they got home, they set up the bed under the dim light. Chen Shuo and Xiaohu huddled in the same bed, covered them with down jackets, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
