Chapter 135 Remembering the Past

When Chen An returned home, he smelled the smell of barbecue as soon as he reached the door.

Hearing that there were quite a few people inside, Chen An opened the door and walked in. A bunch of people were chatting in the yard.

They took out the barbecue grill that they had put away, and set up a table and placed chairs in the yard.

Chen Wei was grilling meat, grabbing a handful of skewers and grilling them until they were sizzling with oil. Duan Long and his wife were skewering the meat, while Chen Kun and Zeng Li were cutting the meat, tearing the vegetables and mixing seasonings on the meat.

Chen An searched again, and fortunately Chen Kun was a sensible person and did not let Yu. Just when Chen An thought that Chen Kun was sensible, he saw Yu Jinghong walk out of the room with seasoning in his hand before he could finish his words.

Just then, I saw Chen An and Zhao Xiong standing at the door dragging their luggage. Wan Ran smiled and said, "You're back. Why don't you put your luggage down first?"

Chen An also smiled stiffly and nodded, "I just came in and heard the noise at the door. Let's see who they are."

I was thinking that I was committing a sin. I should not have agreed if I had known. It would not matter if I called one, but you called both of them. What crime have I committed that you want to kill me?
At this time, the people working inside also looked over and greeted him happily. Chen An nodded in response.

He stared at Chen Kun with a death gaze, the only one who lowered his head and continued to work.

Chen Kun had no choice but to raise his head to express his grievance. Originally, he only planned to call Zeng Li, but thinking of calling more people, he called Duan Long, with whom he had worked together. After all, Chen An had a good relationship with him. Who knew that Duan Long and his wife were with Yu Jinghong at that time.

They were all recruited at once and met together.

Seeing that the other party did not enter the communication channel, Chen An had to go in and put the things away first. Zeng Li followed him in as soon as he entered the door. She wiped her freshly washed hands with paper and said with a smile: "Brother An, let me help you. It just so happens that I have finished my work and the remaining seasonings have not been prepared yet."

"Then help me take the box upstairs and put it in the room. I'll take out the dirty clothes and put them in to wash." Chen An opened the box, took out the wrapped dirty clothes, and then handed the box, which had not much left, to the other party.

Zeng Li took the box, smiled, picked it up and ran upstairs. Chen An sighed, picked up the clothes and threw them into the basket next to the washing machine.

It would be a sin to let these two meet each other, fortunately there are others around.

After putting away his clothes, Chen An returned to the yard and looked at the skewers of meat that Chen Wei was grilling. The aroma of the meat sizzled and the aroma continued to waft out. "Brother Wei, I haven't seen your cooking skills for a long time."

"This is something I learned from the locals when I went to Xinjiang with the crew. You're in for a treat today." Chen Wei smiled and introduced his new skill.

Just then Zeng Li, who had gone upstairs, stuck his head out of the window and asked loudly: "Brother An, do you want to change your bed sheets?" As soon as these words came out, Chen An knew it was over.

Chen Wei, who was grilling skewers, also reached out and patted Chen An on the shoulder to express his condolences.

Before Chen An could say anything, Yu Jinghong, who was adjusting the seasoning, spoke up, "No need, I've already changed it before." He said it so casually as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Zeng Li's face darkened, she bit her lip and then smiled faintly: "Sister Yu is really prepared for a rainy day, she thought about it earlier than I expected." Then she quietly withdrew her body from the window.

At this time, Chen An had already walked to Chen Kun's side to help him, and patted the other's shoulder affectionately with a forced smile.

He was so frightened that he shuddered, and whispered in his ear: "Just wait for me."

At this moment, Chen Kun just wanted to say that it was unfair and he didn’t know it would turn out like this.

Zeng Li just came downstairs at this time, walked over and continued to work with her sleeves rolled up. By the way, she kicked Chen An lightly. It was really an unprovoked disaster.

Yu Jinghong smiled when he saw this while lowering his head to mix the seasoning. When the first batch of skewers were ready, everyone else stopped and had made enough skewers.

After washing his hands, Chen An took out his own wine and poured a glass for everyone who wanted to drink.

"Oh, that's great, Brother Wei. It's not in vain what you learned." Chen An couldn't help but say that the skewers were crispy and delicious, and juicy.

Chen Wei picked up the wine and took a sip. "I learned this skill with great difficulty. I worked for them for several days before they taught me."

"Brother Wei, I feel like there's no need for you to do photography anymore. If you can spread this skill across the country, you must know how to do it." Chen Kun, who also tasted it, couldn't help but say.

Chen Wei was so happy to hear the joke, "This is just my hobby. Photography is what I want to do. If I quit, who will take photos for your senior brother Chen in the future? When we were still in the dormitory, he said that when he became a big director in the future, he would ask me to be his personal photographer. I thought he was joking at that time."

"We ate at that time, but not like now. We just bought some meat at the school gate and stole some cabbage from the vegetable garden next to the school. I brought seasonings and pots from home for him to cook. We bought 20-cent bottles of wine from the aunt at the vegetable market. He was so poor, but he still said he wanted to be a director and asked me to be the photographer. Hahaha."

After drinking a little, Chen Wei talked about the days when they lived together in the dormitory. He didn't have much pocket money, and Chen An would sometimes collect waste or do odd jobs on the crew. They would be happy for a long time if they could have a meal with some wine and snacks.

Chen An also smiled and recalled the old days when he would steal vegetables from the security guard and buy homemade wine from the aunt for two dimes. The wine was so spicy that it felt like it was burning in his throat, but the two of them could still drink a lot.

Chen Wei is a bit literary and artistic. He likes to chat about everything after drinking. He comes from a well-off family and has a wide range of knowledge. Chen An is even better at bragging. He can talk about anything from "the wine is a bit spicy" to the US rocket going to the moon.

We were a bit poor, but we still lived happily, not worse than now, and a pot of stew tasted pretty good.

Everyone present was listening quietly to what happened to Chen An before. These people got to know each other after the filming and didn’t know much about what happened before. Only Chen Wei knew something.

"Yes, I am still waiting for your Senior Brother Wei to be my photographer. He has already paid a bicycle for this."

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't crashed while riding your bike to collect junk, I wouldn't have been beaten by my mom. Luckily, I reacted quickly and ran away, otherwise I would have been seriously injured."

"I've already said that my business is to recycle reusable resources and help the earth's energy recycling."

"Hahaha"

The two talked about the embarrassing things that happened before, and everyone present laughed.

Tao Hong couldn't help laughing and kept patting Duan Long hard. Duan Long could only silently endure the fierce impact from his back.

Chen Kun thought his conditions were bad enough at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Chen An was even better and started a side job to supplement his life.

The few of them chatted like this. Chen Wei grilled and ate while drinking some wine. The others talked about their experiences.

For example, asking about some recent filmings, or asking Chen An about the situation in Hollywood.

They ate, drank and chatted until night, and when the sky was already dark, everyone finished packing up and left one by one.

Chen An also saw them off one by one, and finally gave Chen Wei a punch as a greeting after a long time. Chen Wei patted his chest with a nonchalant look and said, "Is that all?"
It made Chen An want to use the boxing skills he had just learned in the Hollywood crew to give him a hard beating.
