"Lao Li, Xiao Tang can't go back with you."

Li Hong ran over quickly.

Li Zhicheng frowned: "What's wrong? Xiao Tang is my guest. If he doesn't want to go back with me, does that mean he should go back with you?"

"He is still my apprentice. I have to invite him back to my home. I want to learn from him and teach him all my unique skills." Li Hong said with a smile.

Li Zhicheng said, "Then I have to teach him how to play drums."

"It's okay. After I finish learning suona from you, it won't be too late to learn from you."

"That won't work."

"Hey, I can't do it yet. You have to come with me."

The two started arguing.

One is the drum king and the other is the suona king. They both have extraordinary reputations in the local area and everyone respects them. But now, they are fighting for a foreigner.

The people around him could only envy Tang Xiaobao.

This treatment, wow, is simply unparalleled.

Li Qi was also extremely jealous.

He is also the apprentice of the Drum King, but Li Zhicheng doesn't seem to care about him at all.

This comparison shows the gap.

In the end, it was Tang Xiaobao who spoke up.

"Teachers, please stop arguing. I have something else to say."

"Did you hear that? Let's not argue anymore. Let Xiao Tang decide for himself who to go with. Xiao Tang, my family has a suona, a treasure passed down from our ancestors. Come back with me and I'll let you see it. It has a history of at least several hundred years." Li Hong said with a smile.

Li Zhicheng heard this and said, "Hey, Li Hong, you're still trying to pull this trick. Xiao Tang, come back with me. You've seen all the drums in my house. If you like any of them, I'll give them to you."

sweat……

The two of them really worked hard.

Tang Xiaobao quickly waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I really have something to say, Uncle Li."

He said to Li Zhicheng, "I told you last night that I came here to collect folk songs. Thank you for the inspiration. I'd like to invite the drummers and bands competing today to help me shoot the music video. Is that okay? Don't worry, I won't hire them for nothing. I'll pay them 1,000 yuan per person per day. If everything goes well, we can finish the shoot in two or three days."

sweat……

The crowd was in an uproar.

One thousand yuan a day?

This is a super high salary.

And the shooting has to go on for several days in a row, which means that you can earn several thousand dollars in just a few days. This is really pie in the sky.

But, can he really come up with that kind of money?

Oh, he must have a company paying for it. Is he a singer?

That’s right, he sings so beautifully.

Li Zhicheng was stunned and said, "All the drummers? And the band? Xiao Tang, don't be impulsive. Let's do the math first. There are over a hundred people here. At 1,000 yuan each, that's over 100,000 yuan a day."

"It's okay, Uncle Li. Our company has a budget. This little money is not a big deal."

"You can decide?"

"Yes, I can make the decision." Tang Xiaobao said.

Li Zhicheng thought for a moment and said, "One thousand yuan is too much. I think two hundred yuan a day will be enough."

sweat……

What a sincere person.

Some people in the crowd also spoke up, some of whom were also drummers.

"Yes, one thousand yuan is too high. Two hundred a day will be fine."

"Yeah, hundreds of thousands a day, hundreds of thousands in a few days."

"Xiao Tang, I like you, I'm willing to help you for free."

"We are not greedy. Two hundred a day is enough."

…

Tang Xiaobao was particularly moved when he heard these people's words.

Nowadays, in big cities outside, materialism is rampant, morality is lacking, and everyone is profit-driven. But these farmers in the poor and remote countryside still maintain their simple and kind nature.

They are not greedy, know how to be content, and are sincere and simple.

Tang Xiaobao was really moved.

He was a little excited and stretched out his hand, signaling everyone to stop talking.

"My dear uncles, brothers and sisters, I'm truly touched by you all, and I'm extremely grateful to you all. However, this standard was actually set by the company, and it's how it's always been. The company also said that if you all cooperate well and play the drums with enthusiasm, we'll give each of you a big red envelope when you leave."

sweat……

Everyone was dumbfounded.

And a big red envelope?

"Everyone, please stop making excuses. This matter has been decided. If you are interested in participating in the filming, you can contact the third sister later." Tang Xiaobao said, pointing at the third sister in the distance.

The crowd cheered.

The third sister blushed, but felt happy in her heart.

Such a big thing was actually entrusted to him to preside over and be responsible for. In her opinion, Tang Xiaobao didn't treat her as an outsider.

Since Tang Xiaobao had made the decision, neither Li Zhicheng nor Li Hong could say anything.

Li Hong stated: "We are master and disciple, so I will skip my share."

Li Zhicheng also expressed his opinion: "Since Lao Li said it's waived, then I'll waive my part too. We can help you shoot together."

"How can that be? You are highly respected and don't act rashly. I am already flattered that you are helping me with the filming. Don't worry, your wages will be three times higher than theirs. I can make the decision on this matter." Tang Xiaobao said quickly.

"I said I don't want money, so why are you making so many excuses? Come on, come back with me. I have something to ask you." Li Zhicheng said seriously.

Tang Xiaobao could see that Li Zhicheng didn't seem particularly happy and seemed a little worried.

He was puzzled, but he had already made up his mind.

So, he said to Li Hong apologetically, "Teacher Li, I'll go back with Uncle Li first. I'll come to your house in person tomorrow to ask for your advice. What do you think?"

Li Hong was a little disappointed, but thinking that the third sister had just confessed her love to Tang Xiaobao, she must have gone back to deal with this matter, so he did not force her and just said, "Okay, I'll ask Li Jun to pick you up early tomorrow morning."

"ah?"

Tang Xiaobao was stunned, then nodded with a wry smile: "Okay."

"Okay, okay, let's all go. Li Qi, drive us back." Li Zhicheng said to Li Qi on the side.

Li Qi said "oh" and felt a little touched.

Finally thought of him.

He has been ignored by everyone all along.

So he happily went to prepare to drive.

Tang Xiaobao and Li Zhicheng's family took a van home, and the rest of the people dispersed in groups of three or five. Everyone was in high spirits and talked about Tang Xiaobao all the way.

After returning home, Li Zhicheng and others got off the car.

He said to Li Qi who was about to get off the bus, "You go back first."

"Oh, Master, when will the apprenticeship ceremony be held?" Li Qi asked carefully.

To become a disciple of the Drum King, there is a rather complicated initiation ceremony.

Li Zhicheng didn't have the heart to think about that right now. He waved his hand and said, "I'll let you know when the time comes. We'll talk later. You go back first."

Li Qi had no choice but to leave.

When we arrived at the yard, the third sister was called by her mother to a cave on the side.

Li Zhicheng said to Tang Xiaobao, "Come with me inside. I have something to tell you."

His face looked a little unhappy.

Tang Xiaobao was a little nervous.

But I'm also a little confused.

He really didn't understand what was wrong with Li Zhicheng.
