Zero-sum game

Shen Yan especially liked the nights in Xiaohe Village.

The chirping of insects outside the window became more frequent as summer approached, and there seemed to be new visitors on the roof, and the rustling sound never stopped.

A small night light beside the bed was still on, but he didn't intend to turn it off, because he needed to use the light to think about something.

That's when the knock on the door came.

Shen Yan lay still on the bed, waited for the second knock on the door before getting up to open the door.

Sure enough, the moonlight reflected a tall and thin figure, whose clothes carried the breath of night dew.Shen Yan glanced at the moon behind him, the moonlight was extraordinarily bright tonight.

Shen Yan couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, he stammered and said: "...you come...you come so late..."

Zhou Xingchuan gave a reason that he couldn't refuse, "I'll get my clothes."

Shen Yan had no choice but to take a step back to let him in, and then turned on the light in the room by the light of the night light.This lamp is an old-fashioned low-wattage light bulb that is very common in the countryside. After it was turned on, the house was shrouded in a hazy yellow mist.

Shen Yan took out the clothes he changed last time from the closet. He had already washed them and put them aside alone, and found a bag for him to pack them in.

Turning around, I saw Zhou Xingchuan sitting at the table, and wanted to ask where Zhou Xingchuan wore his clothes?After thinking about it, he still said: "It's dark and the road is difficult to walk, let me get you a flashlight."

He opened the drawer and took out an old-fashioned flashlight.

"Did you sleep just now?" Zhou Xingchuan asked.

"Um……"

Zhou Xingchuan was not in a hurry to leave, "We will finish filming tomorrow."

Shen Yan put the bag on the table, and stood there awkwardly, "That's it."

"It may take more than a month to come next time," Zhou Xingchuan stood up and walked towards the door, and continued, "The moon seems to be very beautiful tonight, do you want to go out and have a look together?"

Before Shen Yan could answer, Zhou Xingchuan walked out first.Shen Yan was used to sitting on the porch, so there was a bamboo chair there, and Zhou Xingchuan sat there without saying anything, as if he really just borrowed his place to enjoy the moon.

Shen Yan stood in the room looking at his back, stood silently for a while, took a low stool and sat on Zhou Xingchuan's left hand side.

The two sat there silently.

The night air in the mountain was as fresh as if it had been washed by water, with a hint of coolness, but it was not as chilling as it was a few days ago.

After the solar terms, even a foggy place like Xiaohe Village will become hotter, and it is estimated that it will be even hotter outside.

"Do you have anything to bring next time?" Zhou Xingchuan asked suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Like what you want to eat, what you need," he added, "and those kids, stationery for class."

"I don't have anything to bring, I have everything." Shen Yan replied.

This is true. The village primary school accepts donations regularly, and there is no shortage of basic teaching supplies and daily necessities.

"Okay, then tell me when you think about it." Zhou Xingchuan stood up, went into the room and took away the clothes, and walked back along the way he came with the flashlight given by Shen Yan.

Shen Yan, like watching the children in the class after school, watched him go behind the hillside where he couldn't see his back before turning around and closing the door to go in.

When he returned to the house, he found that there was something on the table that didn't belong to him, a mobile phone.

But his first reaction was, Zhou Xingchuan didn't leave this behind, right?

Because this is a very ordinary old-fashioned mobile phone with a small screen and low pixels, but the characters on the keypad are extremely large-this is a real elderly phone.

While he was hesitating, the old man's mobile phone suddenly rang loudly and began to count: "The user of mobile phone 151******** sent you a text message..."

Shen Yan frantically pressed it away.

The horn of this elderly machine is also loud, and it is the same model used by other elderly uncles in the village.

Sure enough, Zhou Xingchuan sent a text message.

"it's me

This phone is for you

My number is in there

Call me if you think of anything you need

You can also send a text message"

Shen Yan was wondering whether to chase it out and return it to him.

The second day's shooting ended very early, and Mo Rui started to pack her things for the return trip after noon.

She hummed a little song briskly while putting all kinds of sundries into her big backpack that looked like a bottomless pit.

I was finally able to leave this ghostly place, not to mention it was full of mosquitoes, I felt like I was against her, and I couldn't do anything.

She began to seriously consider whether she should ask for a peace talisman after returning home.

But this time they can't go home to rest, because Jin Zhu has accepted another film for Zhou Xingchuan, and they have to go directly to the filming set to start shooting a new film.

On the way back, Zhou Xingchuan had been reading the script. He was much more serious about filming than variety shows.

This time the play is different from the last campus romance drama, it is a suspenseful police film, the setting is quite a bit like the Hong Kong film atmosphere of the last century, which is quite to Zhou Xingchuan's appetite.

Jin Zhu's original words were, "Although it's still an online drama, and it's just the second male lead, the agreed broadcast platform and promotional team are good. The taller one is the taller one, just do it well."

It doesn't matter to Zhou Xingchuan, it doesn't make much difference to him whether he is a star in an online drama, or it doesn't make any difference to him whether he plays the lead actor or the lead actor, as long as the script is good.

After leaving Cheung Chau, Mo Rui's mood became even better. She sat in the co-pilot and played soft rock music all the way.

When he stopped to rest in the middle, Zhou Xingchuan found a corner to smoke, and Mo Rui was beside him with a bowl of sauerkraut.

"Are you so happy?" Zhou Xingchuan asked.

"You don't understand, it's like from primitive society to modern society, the speed of my mobile phone has become faster." Mo Rui said.

Zhou Xingchuan really didn't understand.

Their destination is Ruishan, where the crew set up the main scene in the film and television base, and most of the indoor scenes will be completed there.

Changzhou is not far from Ruishan. If there is no traffic jam, an afternoon's drive is just right. When it was dark, they arrived at the hotel where they were staying.

Zhou Xingchuan spent the second half of the night catching up on sleep, which made his neck ache.Getting out of the car, he took out his phone and glanced at it.

No movement.

But according to Shen Yan's personality, it's normal for him to be silent for a month.

After the film crew of "Seeing Nanshan Leisurely" left, Xiaohe Village returned to its usual calm.

Teaching the students every day and watching them go home after school, Shen Yan's life has also returned to a normal track.

The mobile phone that Zhou Xingchuan gave him has been kept in the drawer and never touched.

Things like mobile phones seem to be the necessities of life, but as long as you make up your mind not to use them, you will find that they are actually nothing more than that.

If the social circle is simple, there are not so many people to contact, and there are all kinds of information on the Internet. If you think about it carefully, there is not much useful, and you won’t lose anything if you don’t read it.

Shen Yan gets up early and goes to bed early every day, and spends his spare time reading books.For a while, he was obsessed with medical books, because there were many children in the class, but the nearest hospitals were all in the town, and he would not go to the doctor for minor ailments. Most of them were recalcitrant, so he learned some simple Chinese medicine Pharmacology, although I dare not treat diseases randomly, but preventing a simple headache and brain fever is not a problem.

There is also the study of textbooks and lesson plans for various subjects. After all, he is not a teacher major, and he has a lot of professional knowledge to learn.

So there is actually a TV set in another small classroom that is not very commonly used. There is no wired network, only an antenna is plugged in, and there are only four channels that can be broadcast. Except for CCTV, all local stations broadcast health product advertisements in rotation.

The only time Shen Yan used it was to broadcast the discs of the provincial excellent teacher's demonstration class, so it was also connected to a DVD player.

Sometimes Shen Yan would use it to watch some movies and TV series, most of them were old dramas and classic movies rented by the only surviving video store in the town, and it was good to savor it.

After getting used to this kind of life, he also has no one to contact.

Summer often comes sooner than expected. A few days ago, I had to prepare a thick coat at all times, but now I can wear short sleeves in the heat at noon.

The old fans in the classroom creaked and creaked, and the sunny classroom received a lot of sunlight. All the students seemed to be sunburned. Half of the afternoon classes were complaining about the heat, and the other half were falling asleep.

During the break between classes, Zhao Xiaozao leaned on the table and said with a long ending: "I really want to eat watermelon—"

At first, no one mentioned this point, but when he mentioned it, the children all agreed.

"I want to eat, too"

“Watermelon is very expensive, you can only buy it when you go to the market”

"My father said that now a watermelon costs 80 yuan, which can buy a few catties of meat."

"..."

They all chatted in a hurry.

The climate in Xiaohe Village is humid and cold, which is not suitable for growing fruits with high water content.Even if watermelons are planted, they cannot withstand the rainy season, and the fruits they produce often rot directly in the ground, unable to survive the sunny summer.

In addition, people in the village are used to saving food and expenses, and rarely spend tens of dollars on watermelon, so it is indeed a rare delicacy for children in the mountains.

"I want to eat it--"

Zhao Xiaozao repeated with a long voice.

Shen Yan at the side suddenly remembered Zhou Xingchuan's words, and told him what he needed.

Then he shook his head, thinking what, he would never contact Zhou Xingchuan again, let alone because of this kind of thing.
