"Two leaders, this is Erwangzhuang Village. I am the village director of this village, Wang Cheng. Welcome the two leaders to our village. You can take pictures wherever you like. If there is anything in the way, please tell me,
I'll help you get it done right away, and I'll make sure you get the most suitable photos. Then I'll help promote our village and let us appear on TV..."
It is estimated that Director Wang has not come into contact with any leaders. When he saw Xiao Di's press card and the equipment they were carrying, he thought they were reporters. Moreover, they were reporters from the province, so they were not reporters, but leaders. Since they are
Leader, he is no stranger to flattering people.
Xiao Di smiled slightly, not getting carried away because of the compliment, "Director Wang, you misunderstood. We are from a newspaper, not a TV station. Even if we capture material approved by the leadership, it will only appear in newspapers and columns.
, we can’t be on TV. And we are not leaders, we are just ordinary employees of the newspaper, so you don’t need to be so polite to us.”
"It's the same, it's the same. You are from the province. If you are lucky enough to be a leader, you will become a leader sooner or later. If you see if there is anything we need to cooperate with, we will do our best to cooperate."
"No need, we are just walking around and taking pictures of what we see. There is no need to cooperate."
"Then what's the point? It's the duty of us, the masses, to help leaders complete their tasks."
"It's really unnecessary..."
"Leader, look at our village, it really needs publicity. Please help..."
Rural people have the wisdom of rural people. Although they may not understand the hype that city people often talk about, they still know how to borrow a little convenience. If a newspaper actually reports a few words about their village, it is a real political achievement. Even village officials
It is difficult to get another promotion, but in the future, I will be able to brag about it for a few years in meetings in the countryside. Now that pie is falling from the sky, how can Director Wang not open his mouth and continue? He is very proactive and cooperates, and has no difficulty in creating difficulties.
To cooperate, he must show his full sincerity.
Xiao Di and Tan Xuan were very good at banter, but when she met the sincere rural man in front of her, she didn't know how to deal with it. The other person was too enthusiastic and she couldn't bear to refuse, not to mention that she was still lying. Even
At some point, Xiao Di wanted to admit his mistake to the other party, telling the other party that his press card was fake and that he had photoshopped it out. Except for his gender, nothing else on it was real. Even the photo was just that.
Processed by my own photos.
Seeing that Xiao Di could no longer resist him, Tan Xuan came over to help Xiao Di out of the siege and said: "Director Wang, you are setting up a shed at the entrance of the village to cook. Is there some... happy event in the village?"
Director Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled stiffly, "Yes, someone got married in the village, and the place at home was small, so they moved here to get married."
"Oh, really?" Tan Xuan chuckled, "Since there is such a happy event, can we join in the fun?"
"It's okay, it's okay. The purpose of doing things in rural areas is to have fun. But the conditions in rural areas are simple, and I'm afraid the two leaders won't be used to it."
"Director Wang is too polite. If you are not used to it, as long as you don't think we are in the way, it will be fine. And we can also use this as material to shoot. Isn't such a happy wedding an objective reflection of the new rural construction?
.”
"That's okay, that's okay. Er Lingzi, let Niu Moo use the loudspeaker to broadcast for a while, and each family will take pictures of representatives and come over for dinner."
Director Wang hesitated for a while and then agreed, but his eyes were slightly evasive, as if he had something to hide. Although he concealed it quickly, Tan Xuan saw it.
"Hey, okay."
A middle-aged woman next to the stove agreed and put down her work and turned around and entered the shed. Soon, a bare-backed man ran out of the shed with a piece of clothing draped over his shoulders. He saw Xiao at the door.
After Di was stunned for a moment, he smiled and rode a motorcycle that had been riding for who knows how many years at the door and rushed towards the village.
"Two leaders, let's invite them in. Today is either a formal day or the chef is here. The relatives in the village have come over to do some work first. You two will take care of it. If it doesn't suit your taste, I will ask my family to prepare some at my house later.
Food for the kids.”
Tan Xuan politely refused: "You are too polite, don't bother me. This opportunity is too rare. We just want to feel the festive atmosphere. By the way, you need to give red envelopes to participate in the wedding. We will give the red envelopes to
who?"
With that said, Tan Xuan was about to take out his pocket, but was stopped by Director Wang.
"What a red envelope? We don't do this in rural areas. It's a great honor for them to have you come."
"Isn't this bad?" Tan Xuan said with an embarrassed look.
"It's okay, let's go in, ladies first."
Director Wang lifted the curtain of the greenhouse and made an invitation gesture. In Director Wang's understanding, Tan Xuan was a driver and a worker, and Xiao Di, who was riding in the car, was the real leader. He lifted the curtain and let Xiao Di
Walking in front. And judging from his many years of experience as a village official, for two people of the same age, women often have more chances to be promoted, especially the one in front of him who is as beautiful as a fairy.
Xiao Di did not continue to be humble, but as soon as he lowered his head and walked inside, he bumped into someone who came out.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Di yelled and backed away, holding his forehead. A woman's cry of pain also sounded in the shed.
"Er Lingzi, you have really big eyes. Why don't you look straight when you walk? Didn't you see that I raised the curtain to let the two leaders in? Where did you get out of here?"
"I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry..."
This woman named Er Lingzi hurriedly bent over to apologize to Director Wang.
"You are so sorry for saying this to me. Do you know how important these two leaders are to our village? Please apologize to these two leaders quickly."
"sorry Sorry……"
Er Lingzi seemed to be very afraid of Director Wang, and quickly apologized to Xiao Di, looking horrified, as if she had caused some big trouble.
Xiao Di didn't expect that just a little collision would cause him to act like something big happened. He quickly comforted the woman in front of him, "It's okay. I didn't pay attention. I don't blame you for this. You don't have to do this. You should apologize if you want."
It’s me who apologizes…”
After talking for a long time, Xiao Di said a few good words to Director Wang. When Director Wang gave the words to allow Er Lingzi to go out, Er Lingzi was grateful for leaving.
The shed is quite large, nearly a hundred square meters. There are dozens of tables and chairs arranged in two rows, but now only a few tables inside are occupied. There are no other dishes on the table except peanuts, but
It didn't stop those people from eating and drinking while talking and laughing at all. After all, the mountain of boxed beer piled in the corner was their favorite thing.
Director Wang coaxed several people at the main table to sit down. There were leaders coming, how could they have the right to sit there? Although Tan Xuan and Xiao Di kept saying that they couldn't do anything, those words were just polite to Director Wang.
How could you take the politeness seriously, leaving only an old and mature female director to accompany Xiao Di?
Director Wang shouted to a man in the shed who looked at him honestly and his face was full of joy: "You idiot, these two are leaders from the province. They happened to go to the countryside and caught up with your family. You let the chef handle it?"
Don't be embarrassed by these rough things. If the leader takes two photos and submits them to you, you will be the first among us in eight villages."
"He's really from the province, second brother, I'll make arrangements right away."
The groom's father happily agreed. Not to mention the reporters from the province. Some people in their village have not been to the province. Is it possible for ordinary people to be reporters? They must be educated people.
, what the rural people envy the most is this kind of educated man in the city.
"Uncle, we can just take a bite of whatever you want to eat. There is no need to do anything special for us to eat." Pretending to be a reporter has gone too far, and now he still has to eat and drink in this identity, which makes Tan Xuan feel very embarrassed.
"It's okay. If I didn't make it specially, I'll have it for tomorrow's banquet. It's all ready now. It'll be out soon."
Tan Xuan wanted to be polite, but Director Wang gave the host a wink and went out to make arrangements. Seeing that he could not stop him, Tan Xuan could only passively follow the host's wishes.
There was a broadcast sound outside, notifying people in the village to come over for dinner. Soon, many people from the village came one after another, but basically all of them were men, and there were no children. Those people seemed to have received the invitation in advance.
After receiving the warning, he sat down at the table at the door. No one came to disturb Tan Xuan and the others, but he couldn't help but glance at them while they were joking.
The cook quickly brought the trays to serve the dishes. Each of the other tables had ten dishes. Although there were hot and cold dishes, meat and vegetables, there was no big fish or meat. On the contrary, Tan Xuan and his group were on the table.
Although there are only eight dishes, there are all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, and even the guys serving the dishes are different.
Tan Xuan and Xiao Di did not drink. Even though the two accompanying people were very enthusiastic, they only drank a little bit of drinks, but they did eat a lot of food. Although the big pot dishes in the countryside are not as refined as the meals in the restaurants, and the cooking methods are also rough, but
But it has a different flavor, which opened the eyes of Xiao Di, who had never seen much of the world. Of course, it also made him enjoy the food even more.
While eating, Xiao Di asked some questions about the local customs. Of course, he also asked questions about which crops to grow and how the harvest was. Tan Xuan took a camera from time to time to take a few pictures of everyone laughing and joking. It was just for show.
Just do it all.
Happy events in the countryside are all about being lively. The eating and drinking in the shed lasted for a long time, and the days in late autumn were a bit short. By the time Xiao Di and the others realized that it was getting late, it was already dark outside the shed.
"Director Wang, I'm sorry, it's getting late. Let's go to the county to find a place to stay first. We'll come over tomorrow to shoot some wedding scenes."
"Hey! The road down here is not easy to walk. Why don't you go back to the county? You can just stay in our village. Tomorrow afternoon, after the eldest son has finished his prayers, I will take you around the village. Me and you
He said, we have mountains and water here, everything is natural, and we will definitely be able to take photos that you will be satisfied with."
"Haha, is that so?" Tan Xuan smiled. Director Wang's words hit him right, and then he pretended to be a little embarrassed and asked: "Then is it suitable for us to live in this village? Is there a place to live in the village? No.
Will it cause you trouble?"
Director Wang deliberately said with a straight face: "What's the trouble? Every house in our rural area has a big kang, and it can't accommodate the two of you? Let alone you two, there will be no problem if there are hundreds more."
"Ah, it would be inconvenient to have a lot of people crowded on the same kang, right?" Xiao Di asked from the side.
"Oh!" Director Wang patted his reflective forehead, "I drank too much, I drank too much, look what I did, how can I let you squeeze into the same kang with us, and you people in the city are used to it.
One room per person. My home is not suitable. Let me think about which home is suitable. Don't worry, there is room."
"Hey! Xiao He, just you and your daughter are at home. Why don't you let the two leaders live in your house? Anyway, your house has two beds in the east and west rooms."
Director He looked embarrassed, "Director, it's not like you don't know what's going on in my house. Isn't the west room used as a warehouse? There's no way for people to live in it, unless we all live in the east room."
"That won't work." Director Wang shook his head vigorously.
"Then which family is suitable?" Director Wang scratched his head. This question that was not a problem now made him scratch his head.
Just as Director Wang was thinking, the middle-aged woman who had had a run-in with Xiao Di came over carrying a basin.
"Director, have you finished eating? Can you put it away now?" the middle-aged woman asked in a low voice.
Director Wang frowned, and his eyes lit up again when he saw the woman in front of him.
"Hey, Erlingzi, you are the only one with so many kangs in your house. Just in time, go back and heat up the kang, and let the two leaders stay at your house tonight."
"Live at my house?" the middle-aged woman was stunned.
"Yes, I'll stay at your house." Director Wang looked a little ugly when he heard that his order was questioned.
Seeing that the leader was unhappy, the middle-aged woman happily changed her mind and said, "My house is dirty and I haven't done much to clean it up. As long as the leader doesn't dislike it, that's fine."
Xiao Di smiled, "It's okay, as long as you don't dislike us."
"That's okay." The middle-aged woman nodded and agreed.
