The road to movie stardom for those who eat melons

Wenze got up early in the morning, packed up his things early, and went for a swim in the melon fields, forgetting himself.

It wasn't until Chen Yang came to deliver breakfast that Wenze was reluctant to leave the melon field.

After breakfast, we got on the bus to the shooting village and felt the sourness of the eighteen bends on the mountain road.

Wen Ze chose a seat by the window, trying to use the beautiful scenery of nature outside the window to distract from the discomfort of the bumps. The effect did not meet expectations, and the discomfort was really uncomfortable.

No matter how impressive the rolling green mountains outside the window are, it cannot change the reality of the rugged mountain roads.

Even though the country has strong infrastructure capabilities and builds roads in remote areas every year, due to the limitations of the geographical environment, some road sections are daunting for people, for fear of accidentally falling to the bottom of the cliff.

Wenze was not a hypocritical person, but he really couldn't stand it anymore and could only force himself to endure it.

The staff on the bus were also having a hard time, and some couldn't help but complain.

"It's killing me. I feel like my butt is all bruised." A thin male employee with a gloomy face complained.

"No, people are almost stunned. I don't know who found the filming location. The road conditions are really hard to describe." A staff member complained with a look of disgust on his face.

"I was shaken to pieces. A remote place in the countryside is not a place where people should stay. If it wasn't for work, I wouldn't come here even if I were beaten to death." A staff member with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks vented his grievances in a low voice.

"It's, it's..."

Wenze's ears were fine. He heard all their dissatisfaction, but he didn't feel resentful and even felt lucky.

He has never suffered much since he was a child, his family is well-off, and he has never been short of material things. His parents love him very much, respect his wishes, and will not force him to do anything he does not want to do.

But I will never spoil him, guide him to grow up correctly, and teach him many principles of life and doing things.

Whenever Wen Ze did something wrong, he would never be lenient and he would not miss any of the education he should have.

Wenze knew that there was a huge gap between urban and rural areas, but he didn't expect it to be so different.

After more than two hours of jolting, we finally arrived at our destination, an original remote village with fresh and pleasant air, surrounded by green mountains.

The houses in the village are all made of earthen walls and tiled roofs. They look very simple and you can feel the traces of time.

Li Jianguo, the head of Xiwa Village who came to contact us, is a middle-aged uncle with rough, dark and shiny skin. He is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, and he is very simple and enthusiastic.

Surrounded by a group of curious villagers, most were middle-aged and elderly people, few were young people, and there were more than a dozen lively children with very healthy complexions and eyes full of curiosity.

"Welcome to Xiwa Village. I am the village chief Li Jianguo. You have worked hard all the way. Why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea? I don't have anything to entertain you. I can still afford a cup of hot tea." Village Chief Li said to everyone. He greeted me warmly without any embarrassment, which made him very magnanimous. .

"Village Chief Li, don't bother. You can take us directly to the arranged place. We have to settle in first." Director Fang refused slightly tiredly. He wanted to pack up the room early and didn't want to stand under the bright sun.

The smile on Village Chief Li's face did not change and he echoed: "Yes, you must be tired from the long journey. I have already arranged a place to stay. You can follow me..."

Wen Ze was placed in an old woman's house. There were only her and her ten-year-old granddaughter Yaya in the house. Her son and daughter-in-law were working in the city. They didn't earn much, and they didn't live a wealthy life. There was no problem in providing food and clothing.

Although the earthen house is a bit old, it is very spacious and clean, which shows that grandma's family loves to be clean.

There are three rooms for people to live in, one for Grandma Liu and her granddaughter, one for Wen Ze, and one for Ding Wang and Chen Yang, which is enough for them.

Ding Wang will not always be with the crew. He will return to the capital in a few days and has something to do.

Grandma Liu is a kind and gentle old lady. She always has a smile on her face and has many wrinkles around her eyes. She looks like she is in her 70s, but is actually in her early [-]s.

Grandma Liu's rough hands are a testament to decades of hard work. Even though they are covered with calluses, she still keeps her fingernails clean.

"The young man is so handsome. I don't know how you live here. My house is a little shabby, but I promise it will be clean." Grandma Liu stared at Wen Ze with a smile on her face. It was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. Beautiful young man, I can't help but look at him more.

Wenze felt Grandma Liu's fiery gaze and had no intention of being coy. He said with a smile: "Grandma Liu, your home is spacious and clean, not shabby at all. As soon as you came in, you fell in love with the big yard. The earth wall surrounding it, closed the yard door. Just right for life.

Grandma Liu, my name is Wenze, you can call me Xiaowen. I am very happy to stay at your house. "

Ding Wang nodded in agreement: "Yes, Wen Ze is right. We came to disturb you, and the aunt will bother you for a while.

My name is Ding Wang, you can call me Xiao Ding. "

"Grandma Liu, I'm Chen Yang. You can call me Xiao Chen or Xiao Yang." Chen Yang nodded crazily on the side, showing his attitude with strength.

Grandma Liu felt the sincerity of Wenze and the others, and the smile on her face deepened: "As long as you like it, I will take you to see the room. I have cleaned it, and I have washed and dried the bedding."

Wen Ze followed Granny Liu and entered the first room. He glanced around. The room was about ten square meters. It was very clean and had no peculiar smell.

There is only an old-fashioned wooden bed in the house, placed against the right wall. The bedding on the bed is neatly placed. The wooden bed is covered with an old yellowing mosquito net. It can be seen that it has been used for many years.

On the left side of the wall is an old wardrobe with a full sense of age, which is used to store clothes and quilts.

Directly opposite the bed is a slightly peeling dresser, which happens to be facing the window. The sunlight shines in brightly. There is only a small mirror on the table and there is no clutter.

There is a bamboo chair with a backrest placed in front of the dressing table. It looks like it has been used for a long time.

There was no extra furniture except this. Wenze was very satisfied with this room and immediately decided to live in this one.

"Grandma Liu, the room is very good. I like it very much. Thank you for cleaning it up." Wenze thanked Grandma Liu sincerely. He felt Grandma Liu's attentiveness.

"Xiao Wen, you are such a sensible child. Everything here is what I should do, and it is not hard at all. Besides, you don't live and eat for free, and I won't suffer." Grandma Liu looked at Wen Ze, The smile was very gentle.

Then Grandma Liu took Ding Wang and Chen Yang to see another room, and Wen Ze followed suit. It was similar to the one Wen Ze lived in.

I visited the house by the way. The kitchen, bathroom and toilet are all on the right side of the main room, as well as a utility room.

The kitchen is a standard farmhouse firewood stove with two large stoves, one for cooking and one for boiling water for bathing.

At first glance, the toilet looks like a renovated squatting pit. Just flush it with water after use.

A stone road was paved in the middle of the yard, and the gaps were filled with pebbles collected from the river to prevent it from being filled with mud and water on rainy days.

There is a cherry tree planted on the left side of the yard, which is covered with green cherries. It will probably be ready to eat soon.

On the right side of the yard are piles of neatly arranged firewood, and a shed has been built to prevent it from getting wet in rainy days.

There is a large vegetable patch in the backyard, where a lot of fruits and vegetables are grown, which is very comfortable to look at.

Not far from the vegetable field, there is a pig house and a chicken house, in which two pigs and more than ten chickens and ducks are raised.

One is a breeding pig, which produces piglets and can be sold for a lot of money; the other is slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, part of which is sold and part left for eating.

The chickens and ducks are kept for laying eggs and eaten. When there are many, they can be taken to the town and sold for money. During the New Year or when the son and daughter-in-law come back, they will be slaughtered and eaten.

Fortunately, it was some distance away from the room where they lived, and there was no smell in the room, which did not affect Wenze and the others' rest.

After visiting the house, everyone went about their own business. Wenze and the other three were busy packing things, while Grandma walked to the vegetable patch.

There is always endless farm work in the countryside. If you don’t plant crops, you will go hungry. If you don’t work, you will have no income. You are busy all year round just to survive.

Farmers just have to make ends meet. Only by working hard can we hope to live a better life.

When Wen Ze came to Xiwa Village, he saw that none of the villagers were white and fat. They were basically black and thin. It can be seen that he had such a body shape because he had to do a lot of farm work.

Although there is a cement road, the road is rugged and there are many crushed areas that have not been paved back, making the road more difficult to walk.

To get rich, we must first build roads, which has not yet been solved. It is not easy for Siwa Village to get rich.
