The two people were at a standstill in front of the clothesline, and the woman who had been watching knew that they were the stars who had come to record the show and waved her hand with a smile: "Son, which bedding you like take it away directly, auntie does not want money, as long as you take it back before you go."
"But ......"
"It's okay," the woman said, "my family is just two people, we don't need too much bedding, so take your pick."
If you can get the quilt without spending money, it is better to shut Yu Zhou's mouth. Xingchen Qi didn't bother with Yu Zhou, and picked the driest bed to dry, dragging it down while talking to the woman, "Aren't you afraid I'll take it and not return it?"
"Not afraid, you have clear eyes, at first glance is a good and kind boy."
Xingchen Qi blinked her amber eyes and smiled shyly, her eyes streaming with light.
The follow-up assistant covered his heart and muttered in a low voice: "Damn ...... This guy is laughing again, certainly not hiding a good heart!"
Xingchen Qi folded the quilt, put it on her shoulder and politely asked, "Auntie, my name is Xingchen Qi, my nickname is Xing Xing, how do I address you?"
"Call me Aunt Sun." The widow Sun said.
"Okay, Aunt Sun. Thank you for the quilt," Xingchen Qi said, "I can stay here for seven days, if you need help in these seven days, you can call me, I can chop melons and cut vegetables, down to repair light bulbs and toilet ten. "
"Aigoo, so great it is, good good!"
The widow hadn't finished cooking yet, so Xingchen Qi didn't want to disturb her much, so she thanked her again and left with the quilt.
Take two steps, but don't hear anyone following behind you.
He really wanted to go back alone, but the camera kept filming, so he had to reluctantly put on the appearance of solidarity and friendship, and turned back to Yu Zhou, "Let's go Yu, let's call it a day."
Yu Zhou is now relieved from the embarrassment just now, pulling a face with an expression more embarrassing than constipation.
.
When Xingchen Qi returned to the Zeng family, everyone had finished cleaning up the house and was sitting around the living room thinking about what to eat tonight.
Ye Bai, who rarely participates in such small talk, leans against the window and looks out in boredom.
He saw a man sneaking in at the door. This person carried a pile of white stuff on his shoulder, winked at the door big yellow dog, made a "hush" gesture, the line is very strange.
Ye Bai thought he had encountered another burglary and wanted to go out and take a look. As a result, the man finished discussing with the big yellow dog and raised his head, revealing a small palm-sized face with white skin and single eyelids.
--- It was a certain Qi fan who helped them find a place to stay for free.
Ye Bai watched Xingchen Qi slipped back to her room with the quilt, and five minutes later appeared in the living room as if nothing had happened.
"Xing Xing, how come you just scrubbed the floor and ran away halfway, where did you go?" Yunfei Zhang asked.
"It's too stuffy in the house, I'm going out for a change of air."
"Ouch, what breathable," Yu Zhou sneered, "you obviously went for the quilt!"
Ziyu Liu was curious: "Why are you looking for a quilt?
Yu Zhou let out a "heh", "Petulant."
Yu Zhou's tone was strange, and everyone in the room could hear that something was not right between them. Qiuman Luo promptly changed the subject: "Why don't we go to the Zeng family's garden and pick some vegetables for ourselves to eat at night?"
This kind of farming activity stars rarely have the opportunity to participate in, sniffing all happy to go back to their rooms to change the pants suitable for entering the vegetable field.
Ye Bai's eyes fell on Xingchen Qi, who was also running towards the room.
With the little fan of the kind of injury are not out of character, it is possible to be delicate to have to sleep clean quilt?
Then he came up with the answer - well, the skin on the back of the little fan was so tender that it was indeed possible.
.
Now it is the first season of vegetables ripe time, we play a lot of fun, old Zeng came to call dinner before taking the spoils reluctantly back.
The female star's booty is basically persimmons, cucumbers and other vegetables, which can be eaten directly. Xingchen Qi is empty-handed, the big horse gold knife to the old Zeng side of a seat, while pouring wine to the old Zeng while close, the attitude than the biological son and the old Zeng are close.
Everyone looked interesting, Zhao director is trembling, can not help but suspect that he is not to make a ghost again.
The good thing is that Xingchen Qi just to understand the village situation, a meal time, the whole sheep goat village was he felt through, even the village chief's dog when and wild dog eloped are known.
The Zeng family house was built large, with three or four rooms in each, and this time the guests finally did not need to sleep in separate rooms.
At night, Xingchen Qi listened to the sounds in the courtyard until only the cicadas were left, then he knocked on Ye Bai's door with the bedding he had borrowed during the day.
So Ye Bai opened the door to see a tall stack of white quilts and the little head poking out diagonally behind them.
The little head said in an airy tone, "Don't ask, let me in first."
"...... hmm."
Ye Bai turned sideways, giving way to the small head.
Xingchen Qi hugged the quilt and went straight to the single bed on the left side of the house. Sure enough, the bedding was lifted up and piled aside by the bed owner, revealing the hard bedpan underneath.
Xingchen Qi put out the new bedding and folded up the wet bedding, clapping her hands, "I don't like the white bedding, it's like being in the hospital, this blue one looks much better. Ye Bai brother, let's change it, right?"
The excuse was so lame that Ye Bai immediately understood that the little fan ran out to find the quilt for him.
Ye Bai froze and raised an eyebrow: "You're not all done changing."
Xingchen Qi :"......"
Afraid of being discovered, he came in and did it without really asking Ye Bai first.
In case people do not want to change, then he is not a good intention to do a bad thing.
Xingchen Qi was silent for a long time, Ye Bai saw him defeated, finally let him go, the corners of his mouth rippled with a light smile: "But coincidentally, I happen to like white."
Xingchen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved.
"Then I'll change the blue one," Xingchen Qi picked up the changed quilt, "By the way, don't tell anyone about tonight."
He was careful not to make any noise from the time he came in, so that the audience would not know what was wrong with Ye Bai and would not be blackmailed for playing a big game.
Ye Bai also cooperated very well, imitating Xingchen Qi by saying in an air tone, "Thank you, I won't say anything, but-"
He curled his index finger and tapped Xingchen Qi on the forehead, "But there are cameras in our room, did you forget?"
.
As a first-time recording participant, Xingchen Qi often forgot the existence of this magical species of camera, and was depressed for a long time before falling asleep.
Ye Bai lies on the soft and clean quilt, smells the unique grass smell of the countryside, but quickly fall asleep.
Early the next morning, the big rooster woke up the sleeping guests.
More cruel than the big rooster is Zhao Guiding, in the courtyard of the Zeng family, holding a loud speaker in one hand and pulling a middle-aged man with the other, he shouted, "Are all awake?"
"Huh? Oh oh oh," the guests reacted dully, "Sober up."
Zhao guide: "...... Okay, then I'll post today's task."
"Standing beside me is called Old Iron, a blacksmith, specializing in making washbasins, water scoops and other household items. Today your task - come, Xiao Li -"
Field service Xiaoli heard the call, drove a small agricultural tricycle slowly out of the shed, the bucket is filled with a variety of iron utensils.
"Your task today is to go to the marketplace with Old Iron and sell ironware. The more you sell, the higher the mission completion."
When she first heard the unfamiliar term "mission completion," Yu Zhou asked, "What's the difference between high and low completion?"
"If the mission is completed at less than fifty percent, it will be treated as a mission failure. If the degree of completion is above fifty percent, no deduction or gift, and if you can reach one hundred percent - that is, if you sell all of them - you can get a hidden reward."
All? Sell? All of it?
This is a huge cart of ironware! How could they all be sold out?
The courtyard is full of complaints, no matter which family needs household goods are counted, so a large car, not to mention selling half, can not sell a tenth is a big problem!
Xingchen Qi's face was not too good when everyone was complaining. When he talked to Er Ceng last night, Er Ceng said the most difficult condition in the village was the blacksmith next door.
It seems to be this old iron.
If there is really a market for ironware, the old iron will never be mixed like this.
This shows that the old iron goods are definitely more difficult to sell than imagined.
But then the hard sell has to go, in the program team urged the crowd to put on their own bags and set off into the morning sun.
To the bazaar there are still a few customers, the old iron while driving slowly forward, while smiling, "almost to my stall, my son bought you soy milk doughnuts. Not expensive, but hot, you do not mind ah!"
Everyone said they don't mind, today may have to deduct two thousand travel fund, can eat a meal for nothing is a meal.
A dozen meters further, a large "iron" two words into view. Two bamboo poles a white cloth pulled out of the front below, the stall has been supported. There are no goods on it, there are seven breakfast.
Behind the stall, a boy of 14 or 15 years old with a pen, head down is writing something.
"Uncle Tie," Xingchen Qi's brow immediately furrowed, "your son is not going to school today?"
"Originally on, the teacher's family had something, temporary holiday."
"...... One teacher has a family problem, let another teacher substitute," Ziyu Liu can't figure it out, "Besides, there can't be only one course a day, right?"
"Hey girl, you don't know our side! Tie Xiao, there is only one teacher in their school, teaching language and math, and the teacher has a family problem, so of course there is no class!
Ziyu Liu smiled with a shocked face, but in fact there are many poor mountainous areas are like this. Teacher resources are scarce, a teacher with several jobs, the quality of teaching is not to mention, in case the teacher can not come one day, the whole class has to follow the suspension.
"Well, here we are," Lao Tie parked the car in the vacant lot and took the lead in jumping off the tricycle, " Tie Xiao , come and shout at someone!"
Tie Xiao put down her pen, finished greeting the guests, and greeted everyone with breakfast in a very understanding manner.
Xingchen Qi watched Tie Xiao with his eyes as he ate, only to see him return to where he had been earlier and continue writing, wiping the corner of his mouth as he wrote.
Xingchen Qi said, " Tie Xiao, come here."
" Brother Xing Xing." He came over as he was told.
"What's the writing about?"
"Write yesterday's homework."
"Will all of them?"
Tie Xiao scratched her head, "There are a few application problems that I can't do."
"Okay, I'll help you look at it later," Xingchen Qi chucked a doughnut from his plate, "In exchange for doing the problem, you help your brother eat this doughnut that you can't eat."
Tie Xiao, who is simple and innocent, could not tell the truth from Xingchen Qi's words and happily accepted the doughnut.
Xingchen Qi saw him gobbling down his food, relieved and heartbroken, and brought him the soy milk, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
While serving the soy milk, he suddenly noticed that he had an extra doughnut on his plate.
He turned his head to look at Ye Bai, who seemed to be eating very seriously and did not see him.
When breakfast was over, Xingchen Qi made good on her promise and asked Tie Xiao to bring over the exercise set.
"Application questions?" Yu Zhou heard Xingchen Qi's words and came over.
"You're not an art major," Yu Zhou squinted at the exercise set in Xingchen Qi's hand, "you still know this stuff?"
