Chapter 893: They Respect Each Other, Understand Each Other
“That’s right.” Qiuwei nodded in agreement. “It’s better to teach someone to fish than just to give them fish. This is the logic.”o
“Besides, although the villagers are all elderly, the young and middle-aged still have an income from working outside. It should not be a problem for them to take out some of their income to repair their houses. Perhaps the income is not that much, and the repair of the house might not be completed in one step, but it’s always possible to do it bit by bit.”
Dongshu nodded. “Our director thinks so too, so we thought that we couldn’t just give them money for repairs. We might as well use this show to publicize the many backward villages that have difficult lives. It’s not just Gantai Village, it would attract the attention of society for many other villages as well. Everyone would think of ways to help villages like Gantai Village, so that the villagers would get involved and work hard to become rich instead of sitting around waiting for money to fall from the sky.”
“But, didn’t they say that the people who stayed in the village were all old people?” The manager asked.
“Although they are called old people, they are actually only in their fifties or sixties. It’s only because of their living environment that they seem much older than their peers in the city. But in reality, they do not lack strength,” Dongshu explained. “They had children early. They are 60 years old, and their children who work in the city are already in their 40s. There are also younger children. As they work in the city, they do not have time to take care of their children, so their parents stay behind to help take care of their children. But in reality, they are only in their fifties.”
“I see.” Qiuwei nodded.
As everyone talked, the car stopped at the village entrance.
The car couldn’t drive in.
Everyone had to get out of the car and drag their luggage into the village.
Fortunately, they were only staying for one night, and Qiao Ni and the others did not bring much luggage.
Everyone was dragging a small suitcase.
Qiao Ni dragged the two suitcases along with Qiuwei’s.
The guest’s residence was dedicated by the village chief.
The village chief’s house was the largest in the village.
There were three bedrooms.
The remaining room could be modified so that four pairs of guests could live together.
Moreover, the remaining modified room could be used for penalties, where last pair of guests would stay.
However, the production team did not tell the guests about this in advance.
It was not yet time to choose a room. Qiao Ni and Qiuwei placed their luggage in the courtyard and waited for the other guests to arrive.
The manager was afraid that the conditions here were too harsh and that Qiao Ni would not be able to hold on and would not perform well in front of the camera, so she followed her. When Qiao Ni was about to lose her cool, she could still persuade her in time.
However, she did not expect the conditions to be so harsh. There were only four rooms, so she obviously could not live in them together.
Otherwise, wouldn’t she be in frame too?
Dongshu said to the manager, “I’ll have to trouble you to stay in our production team’s tent tonight.”
“It’s nothing,” The manager smiled and said. “We’re all here to work. If you can stay there, I can too.”
Dongshu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect Qiao Nits side to be so easy to talk to.
Initially, Dongshu was worried that he would need to spend some effort to
communicate with Qiao Ni.
Because the livestream had already begun when they set off from capital.
The production team had made this episode a special charity event. All the income from this episode would be donated to Hope Primary Schools everyvvhere.
Now that Qiao Ni and Qiuwei had arrived, they could not let the camera be idle.
They first walked around the village chief’s house to understand the environment.
Not long after, they heard the sound of luggage wheels rolling on the ground and voices coming from outside the door.
“I didn’t expect that after so many years, there hasn’t been much change here,” Hanbi said. “They can’t go on like this. They can’t always rely on outside help.
The villagers need to find ways to generate income themselves.”
“That’s true.” Jiang Xun nodded. “I’ve taken a look along the way. Although the places we passed through still look rather desolate, it’s precisely because of this that there’s a very natural scenery without any artificial traces. It’s worth studying the geography of this place and see how it can be utilized.” [Vision! The vision has opened up, everyone!]
[What Mrs. Qin said is exactly what the assistant director explained earlier.
Mrs. Qin didn’t need any explanation to figure it out herself.] [Jiang Jiang has already thought of how to develop this aspect.]
[The two of them went straight into the stratosphere. They flew too fast.]
[Mrs. Qin and Jiang Jiang are so well-coordinated. With just one sentence, one knows what the other means.]
[I’m so envious of this kind of interaction.]
[The two of them are not as casual as mother and daughter. There are no scruples between the mother and daughter. They can even explode their tempers and quarrel at will, because they know that after the quarrel, their relationship will not change, and there will be no estrangement between them. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are different, but Mrs. Qin and Jiang Jiang found a balance in this aspect. They respect each other, understand each other, and are just right amount of intimate.]
[It’s probably very difficult to get into such a relationship, right?]
[It requires the joint efforts of both parties. If even one of them being unreasonable makes it impossible.]
Jiang Xun and Hanbi talked as they dragged their suitcases through the door.
The threshold of the village chief’s house was especially high.
Jiang Xun carried a suitcase in each hand and easily walked over the threshold.
One would think that Jiang Xun and Hanbi would also carry small suitcases and travel lightly.
However, they would not expect the two of them to bring two big boxes this time.
The two of them each carried a backpack.
The backpacks were bulging with something.
After working with Jiang Xun a few times, one would have some understanding of her.
Jiang Xun’s backpack should probably be filled with daily necessities such as a change of clothes.
In the box…lt was probably food and some emergency items that could be used when encountering emergencies.
However, Jiang Xun’s box was really too big this time!
It looked like a 28-inch suitcase.
Such a big suitcase was already heavy enough, no matter how light the things inside were.
As long as the luggage was filled, the weight would be shocking.
And the suitcase reached Hanbi’s waist.
Hanbi was slightly shorter than Jiang Xun.
The suitcase reached Jiang Xun’s hip bone.
Even so, because of the high threshold, if she wanted to lift the suitcase, she had to lift it up with all her might.
However, the suitcase was too big. It was very difficult to raise the suitcase over the threshold with one hand.
However, Jiang Xun was actually carrying it as if it was a chick. It looked effortless at all.
She carried a 28-inch suitcase in each hand and easily lifted them over the threshold.
Qiao Ni and Qiuwei, who were watching from the courtyard, were so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
Because she was too shocked, Qiao Ni only reacted after Jiang Xun and Hanbi entered the courtyard.
She and Qiuwei quickly went forward to welcome them. The two of them jogged to Hanbi and Jiang Xun. Qiao Ni reached out to take a suitcase. “Let me help. ”
In fact, they had already entered the door. The suitcases were placed in the courtyard. Even if Jiang Xun dragged the suitcase, there wasn’t much to walk.
However, it didn’t seem good if Qiao Ni didn’t insist.
“No problem.” Jiang Xun didn’t pass the suitcase to Qiao Ni. “I can handle it by myself, It’s only a few steps away. It’s not troublesome to drag it along.”
It was indeed only a few steps away. It would be too fake if she continued to be polite, so Qiao Ni did not say anything else.
Qiuwei smiled and introduced herself to Hanbi.
“Teacher Shen, I really like watching your movies,” Hanbi said with a smile.
“Then who do you like to watch more between Jiang Xun and me?” Qiuwei teased.
Hanbi smiled and said, “It depends on Jiang Jiang. After all, she’s my daughter-in-law, so I’ll definitely support her first. However, excluding this point, our family’s Jiang Jiang’s acting skills are good, so I have to support her.”
“Wow, Mrs. Qin said ‘our family’s Jiang Jiang,’ that’s so sweet.”
“Same here, I support my daughter-in-law too,” Qiuwei said with a smile.
This time, they did not wait long before the other two pairs arrived.
Kejia said from outside the camera, “Hello, everyone. Thank you, everyone, for helping the students of Hope Primary School. You’ve specially pushed back your original work today, adjusted your working hours, came here a day earlier, and cooperated with the production team’s livestream.”
[Everyone is so warm!]
[Yes, it’s all to help Hope Primary School.]
[We’ve already seen it! We also want to contribute to the children.]
“This is the village chief’s house,” Kejia said. “There are three bedrooms in the village chief’s house. One is for the village chief and his wife, and the other is for the son and daughter-in-law of the village chief who went out to work. There is also a small room that the village chief’s family had built for their children. Therefore, the production team cleaned up the village chief’s firewood shed and will temporarily use it as a bedroom..”
