Just when I was about to take Cheng Xiaohu out to tell him secretly, Cheng Lu suddenly walked out and shouted to Cheng Xiaohu: "Brother, come in and help me light the fire while I make rice."
After Cheng Xiaohu responded, he said to me: "Think carefully, it's only been a few months, we have to make it more lively."
After saying that, he entered the kitchen house.
Although I escaped this disaster, I will still encounter such a situation later, and I will always tell them the truth.
But I don’t know if they can accept it on that day, and whether Cheng Lu can bear it?
In fact, I am also very painful. Why didn't I know all the truth before this? It had to be when we planned to get married.
At nine o'clock in the evening, I received a text message from An Lan. She told me that she had arrived at the airport successfully and asked me not to worry.
It was really aggrieved that she drove such a long way with me when she came here, and when she left, she drove more than six hours to catch a plane by herself.
If this was a normal friendship, how could it be like this?
After dinner every night, I like to sit in the courtyard for a while, without thinking about anything. Just listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the mountain village can completely relax me.
Cheng Xiaohu drank a little too much tonight and went to bed early.
After Cheng Lu finished washing the dishes, she came behind me with a blanket and helped me put it on my body.
"Brother Dashan, it's so cold outside, why are you still sitting outside?"
"Fortunately, it's not cold. Why don't you go to bed?"
She shook her head and said, "I'm not sleepy yet. Brother Dashan, are you going to sleep in the fields tonight?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. It's so cold in the ground. Why don't you just sleep at home and I'll help you make the bed later."
I smiled at her and said, "It's okay. There's no wind in my cabin. It's quite warm."
Cheng Lu didn't say anything more and was silent for a while. Then she suddenly said to me: "Brother Dashan, our wedding."
I quickly answered: "Do you have any ideas?"
"No, I just want to say that if you haven't made up your mind, I can go and tell my brother."
I was stunned, looked at her and said, "Lulu, what's wrong with you?"
"No! I feel it's quite urgent. I'm afraid you won't be ready. It's my brother who's urging me."
I suddenly didn't know what to say. In the silence, Cheng Lu said to me again: "Brother Dashan, you don't have to be so entangled. I will tell my brother about the marriage and she will understand me."
I sighed softly, but after all, I still didn't tell the real reason.
I don't want to tell them at this time because I have to continue to live here for the next few days.
If I let them know my true identity now, they might not treat me like they do now. Even though we are still like a family on the surface, there is already a gap in their hearts.
At least for now, I am still a mountain in their eyes, not the chairman of a listed company.
In the next few days, I continued to be busy with the rural improvement work, which is now nearing completion.
Basically, An Lan would take the initiative to call me every day. She had nothing else to do, just to ask for help.
Three days later, An Lan came to the county with the company’s internet celebrity team.
I went to the county early to wait for them, and Cheng Xiaohu was also with me.
An Lan had told me before arriving that they would fly to the city first and then rent a car to come to our place.
After waiting for about an hour, I finally saw An Lan's white Porsche Cayenne.
Her car had been parked at the airport the last time she went back and did not drive back to Chengdu. There was a Buick commercial vehicle behind her car, which must have been pulling some equipment.
There were two people sitting in her car. The ones I saw last time were He Jing and Fu Zhiqiang.
After meeting, we briefly exchanged greetings for a while, then An Lan asked Cheng Xiaohu and I to get into her car, and we continued to the town.
On the way, An Lan asked me: "Have you been waiting for a while?"
"Fortunately, I didn't wait long. How many people have you come?"
"It's just us. In the car behind us are a few people from Xiaoqi's team."
After An Lan paused for a moment, he continued: "After I went back and told them about this, Xiaoqi and the others quickly came up with a publicity plan, and when they heard that you were here, they had to come."
Naturally, I forgot who Xiao Qi was, but at this moment, Cheng Xiaohu suddenly asked: "Da Shan said that Liu Qinglan is also from your company, didn't she come?"
"She has live broadcasts these days and can't leave," An Lan replied.
Cheng Xiaohu sighed softly and said with some disappointment: "I said I would see me today, but I didn't come!"
An Lan smiled and said: "If you want to get to know her, you can come with us to Chengdu to meet her after we are done."
"Really? Is it okay?" Cheng Xiaohu suddenly became excited.
"Of course you can, it's not that difficult."
Cheng Xiaohu nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, I'll go to Chengdu with you."
Fu Zhiqiang asked me at this time: "Brother, is this Cheng Xiaohu who you said saved you before?"
I nodded, and Fu Zhiqiang immediately extended his hand to Cheng Xiaohu and said, "Hello, my name is Fu Zhiqiang, let me meet you."
Cheng Xiaohu also extended his hand to shake hands with Fu Zhiqiang warmly, but asked me in a low voice with doubts, "Why did he call you brother just now?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I thought, didn't An Lan tell them not to reveal my true identity for the time being?
Just when I was thinking about how to answer, Fu Zhiqiang took over and said, "He is older than me. Is there any problem if I call him brother?"
Cheng Xiaohu glanced at me and said, "I don't even know how old he is, how do you know he is older than you?"
Fu Zhiqiang smiled and said: "This is obvious."
Cheng Xiaohu didn't ask any more questions. I think if it was Cheng Lu, she would have already seen the problem.
At this time, Cheng Xiaohu spotted He Jing in the passenger seat.
He looked at it carefully and suddenly said in surprise: "I thought you looked familiar just now, but now I see that you are not the singer on Douyin. What is your name? Wait a minute, I want to call you He Jing, right?"
He Jing turned around, Cheng Xiaohu smiled slightly, and said, "It's me, have you heard of my song?"
"Of course I've heard it! The song that became so popular some time ago was sung by you, right?"
He Jing smiled again, and Cheng Xiaohu still said excitedly: "I was watching the video you posted last night. I didn't expect to see a real person today. I'm so excited!"
An Lan said at this time: "He Jing, why don't you sing the song that became popular some time ago and let him listen to it live."
"Ah!?" Cheng Xiaohu said in disbelief, "Really? Do you really want to sing now?"
"What? You don't want to hear it?" He Jing changed her sitting position, turned around and looked at Cheng Xiaohu and said.
Cheng Xiaohu nodded hurriedly and said: "I want to hear it, of course I want to hear it."
So He Jing sang a cappella like this. I rarely watch short videos, but this song is really familiar to me. Because it was so popular some time ago, her song is basically used in every few videos.
Although He Jing is an internet celebrity singer, she really has nothing to say when she sings, and this is a cappella singing without any sound editing equipment or accompaniment.
After the whole song was sung, we all applauded her.
Cheng Xiaohu smiled so hard that she sighed: "It sounds so good, I must be dreaming!"
