The man looked gentle and polite, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, a black coat, and a pair of hiking shoes. There was a small suitcase on the ground.
He smiled gently at Xie Jiagui, and when the food came, he said "thank you" to Xie Jiagui.
This made Xie Jiagui, who was always a rough man, a little uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and said it was okay.
The man started to eat with his chopsticks. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the food. His eyes lit up several times while he was eating. It seemed that he did not expect that there would be such a delicious restaurant in such a remote town.
After finishing the meal, he praised the taste of the food to Xie Jiagui several times without hesitation, and then left with his suitcase.
Xie Jiagui cleaned up the dishes on the man's table and murmured unconsciously: "People in this city are just polite."
Pei Tiantian also nodded.
She also felt that the man was indeed well-educated and should be from a big city.
After Zhou Wanhong finished her work, she took Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong to catch the bus home.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, apparently remembering something, "By the way, where are Tianyu and Zihao? Why didn't they come with you guys?"
Pei Tiantian was suddenly stunned and realized that her two cousins did not come to see her. She had completely forgotten about them.
I don’t know whether Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu went out at noon and came back to class in the afternoon.
Were they skipping school?
Just when Pei Tiantian didn't know how to start talking about this matter.
The car had already arrived, and Zhou Wanhong's voice rang out: "Forget about them, let's go back first. They have money on them and know how to get home."
After returning home, Pei Tiantian immediately checked whether Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu had returned.
The result is of course no.
Until the Pei family had dinner, the two of them disappeared.
"Where have those two brats been? Why haven't they come back yet?" Wang Ruizhen asked.
"Maybe he was delayed on the road." Pei Zhiqiang said.
"Grandma, my eldest and second cousins followed a group of people out of the school gate at noon today. I don't know where they went. We don't know whether they came back for class in the afternoon or not."
Pei Tiantian spoke weakly.
She felt a little annoyed and thought that she was not caring enough about her two cousins.
When Pei Zhiwen heard this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went out to ask the neighbors next door.
The child from the neighboring family is in the same class as Pei Zihao.
Pei Zhiwen's face darkened when he learned that Pei Zihao did not show up in the classroom in the afternoon.
When they came back, they told everyone about their truancy.
"These two guys have finally behaved themselves for a while, why are they starting to act like this again?" Wan Cuilan complained.
Gu Rong, who had always been silent, suddenly took action. He went into the house, took out a piece of paper, wrote a few lines, and handed it to everyone to read.
Pei Tiantian opened her grape eyes and looked carefully at what Gu Rong wrote.
"I heard their conversation this morning. They seemed to be talking about going to some production crew. Maybe they left school early just to join that production crew."
"A film crew? What kind of film crew are these elementary school students going to?"
Pei Zhiwen looked confused.
Gu Rong shook his head.
He actually didn't hear the conversation between Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu. He just overheard a few of their scattered thoughts.
Crew?
Pei Tiantian's expression turned strange.
Wait, couldn’t this be the costume drama mentioned in the novel where Pei Tianyu made a guest appearance as a child?
Pei Tianyu received a salary of 500 yuan for this guest appearance, which also made him start to dream of becoming a star.
When the people in the village knew that Pei Tianyu’s drama was broadcast on TV, they kept calling him “little star”.
This greatly satisfied Wan Cuilan's vanity. In addition, when she saw that 500 yuan was so easy to earn, she became obsessed with it and dreamed all day long that her son would become famous overnight and become a big star.
In the end, he even supported Pei Tianyu to drop out of school and go north to look for acting opportunities.
As a result, Pei Tianyu was foolishly deceived into working illegally and died.
Pei Tianyu's tragic life began from here.
Pei Tiantian took a slow, deep breath.
No matter what, as long as she is around, she will never allow her cannon fodder second brother to drop out of school.
"Let's eat first and talk about it when they come back."
After Wang Ruizhen spoke, the only sound that could be heard at the table for a while was the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.
It was around eight or nine o'clock when Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu came back. Both of them were talking excitedly.
However, as soon as they entered the door, the two of them were frightened when they saw that the Pei family members all looked unhappy.
"You guys still remember to come back? We wouldn't say you love to go out and play on weekdays, but now you're skipping school during the school term. What on earth did you do? Tell me the truth!"
Wang Ruizhen said sternly.
Seeing Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao hesitated to speak, Pei Tiantian couldn't help it. She blinked her grape eyes twice, and tears fell down. She said aggrievedly: "Brothers, please don't skip school, okay? Tiantian doesn't like brothers skipping school, and doesn't want to hear brothers being called bad kids by others!"
Seeing Pei Tiantian dropping gold beans, Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao were heartbroken. Pei Zihao couldn't hold back any more words and said loudly: "Tiantian, the brothers didn't skip school on purpose. We wanted to earn money to secretly buy you a birthday present and give you a surprise."
Pei Tiantian was just about to burst into tears, but she was held back and her expression was dazed for a moment.
What? They were buying her a present?
By the way, Pei Tiantian suddenly remembered that her birthday is next week, September 12th.
"A classmate's uncle works in a film crew. Their crew recently came to our place to film a movie and they are looking for child actors. Tianyu and I wanted to save money to buy Tiantian a good birthday present, so we went for an interview with many other people in our class. Unexpectedly, Tianyu actually got the job. Hahaha! It was just one line with only four words in total. After filming for a while, the crew gave Tianyu 500 yuan!"
When Pei Zihao said this, he proudly put his hands on his hips, as if he was the one who was chosen.
Pei Tianyu also took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and showed it to everyone to prove that they were not lying.
This turn of events made everyone in the Pei family stunned and they were unable to recover for a long time.
These two brats were either out to play or to earn money, and they were doing it to buy gifts for their sister.
They don't know whether to praise or criticize such behavior.
The words that he had originally intended to use to accuse these two brats were just swallowed back.
When Wan Cuilan saw the five hundred yuan in Pei Tianyu's hand, her eyes lit up immediately. She walked up to Pei Tianyu and kissed him on the forehead twice in ecstasy, "Tianyu made so much money? That's amazing!"
