Chapter 220 220

As soon as Jiang Liu got on the boat, people around him started pointing and talking: "Is that Jiang Liu from Jiangjia Village?"

"She has grown so tall? She was still a little girl a few years ago, but now she has grown so beautiful!"

"Is that her brother next to her?"

"Not her brother. I have seen both of her brothers, and they don't look like this."

"I saw this guy during the summer vacation. He was there too, next to Jiang Liu, with her!"

After Song Peifeng and Jiang Liu helped Grandpa Jiang into the shed and sat down, Song Peifeng held Jiang Liu's hand and sat in the shed.

The people in the shed knew what it meant at once.

There were also people from Jiangjia Village in Linhe Brigade. When they saw Jiang Wu, they all greeted her warmly. Jiang Wu also called out to them warmly. Those who were called out by her felt inexplicably proud and straightened their chests, as if being called out by Jiang Wu was a matter of face, which made them stand up straight in the crowd.

Many people did not dare to talk to Jiang Wu, so they talked to Grandpa Jiang, and their voices were super loud, as if they were afraid that Grandpa Jiang was deaf and could not hear them, shouting: "Grandpa, are you bringing your grandson-in-law back?"

"When are you getting married?"

Grandpa Jiang looked at Jiang Wu and Song Peifeng with a smile, and the others also looked at Jiang Wu and Song Peifeng as if they were watching a foreign spectacle.

Some people also said: "Girls should study and go to college to find such a handsome guy! Where can you find such a handsome guy in the village!"

"Why can't you find him? Isn't her elder brother and second brother?"

"Her second brother has been admitted to college and appeared in TV series, how can you find him in the village? If you don't go to college, you won't get the chance to be a handsome guy in the village."

Nowadays, in the villages and towns under Wucheng, when talking about girls, they all encourage them to go to college. It's rare that girls go to work in factories at the age of 14 or 15 as before. They are all allowed to continue their studies.

It seems that people's concepts have changed unconsciously, and the atmosphere has also changed subtly.

Like Jiang Liu, many people who returned from working at the end of the year gathered together in bright and beautiful clothes, looking at this legendary figure from their hometown from afar. Like the adults, they did not dare to get close and could only look at him from afar, whispering to the people around them: "Look, that's Jiang Liu."

"I know, she's from Jiangjia Village."

"She's so beautiful!"

"Her boyfriend is also good-looking, a perfect match."

"Is she looking at me?"

"Fuck, she smiled at me!"

There were people on the road who kept secretly looking at Jiang Liu, including people from other teams and other boats.

There was also a woman who carried a duck from a distance, got off the boat, walked all the way to the boat where Jiang Liu was, walked to the cabin, and in front of everyone's surprised eyes, she put the duck with its wings and legs tied at Jiang Liu's feet: "Little girl, thank you for the food and clothes you sent us during the summer vacation, take this duck back and eat it!"

Jiang Liu didn't expect that someone would give her fruits and candies, and someone would give her a duck, so she quickly pulled the eldest sister over, "Elder sister, take it back, you don't need it, really don't need it!"

The eldest sister pulled Jiang Liu's arm away and hurriedly ran down the boat: "I raised a duck at home, for you to eat!" As if she was afraid that Jiang Liu would come back, she ran back to her team's boat faster than a rabbit.

Everyone around was staring blankly.

Someone else advised Jiang Xi: "Just take it if it's given to you!"

"That's right, it's a kind gesture from others!"

"You donated a lot to us during the summer vacation!"

Someone else brought a basket of eggs to Jiang Xi, but Jiang Xi quickly refused and said: "Thank you, sister. Everyone keep it for yourselves. I have too much stuff and can't take any more. I really can't take any more. You are so polite!"

Jiang Xi's nose was inexplicably sour, and she smiled and thanked everyone.

After waiting for a long time for the boat to sail, everyone probably had enough of seeing, and finally began to look at the winter river surface instead of looking at her and Song Peifeng.

She and Song Peifeng couldn't help but look at each other, smiled at each other, and looked at the vast water surface.

This year, due to the flood, the winter water level did not retreat directly to the river beach near the next brigade as in previous years, but in Xujia Village, very close to the village entrance.

When Jiang Xi got off the boat, the enthusiastic elder sister next to her was worried that she, a young girl who was studying, would not be able to carry a live duck, so she smiled and said, "You don't know how to carry this thing, right? I'll help you carry it. I'm also from Jiangjia Village, and I'm your second wife's sister- in-law. I know where your home is, and I'll deliver it to your home."

Everyone rushed to help Jiang Xi carry things. In the end, except for Jiang Xi's own schoolbag, all of Grandpa Jiang's packages were carried by the enthusiastic elder sisters and brothers around.

Along the way, they kept asking about Jiang Xi's studies at school, whether she had found a partner, and whether she would get married after graduation.

Jiang Xi always answered in unison: "I'm still young, there's no rush, I haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet!"

Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng have never discussed marriage. She herself doesn't really want to get married. She thinks it's enough to just date. If they still like each other, they'll stay together. If one day they feel that being together is a waste of energy and they're not happy, they'll break up.

But Song Peifeng obviously doesn't think so. He has already included Jiang Xi in his life plan, so there must be conflicts between the two people's plans for the future. It's just that they are still young, so such conflicts have not yet been revealed.

The two of them supported Grandpa Jiang as they walked through Xujia Village. Many people who were sunbathing at the gates could not help but look over to the road when they saw Jiang Liu. Some were holding their children, and some even held their children to the roadside to look.

Those who knew Grandpa Jiang greeted him.

Grandpa Jiang had never been so glorious in his life. It was like returning home in splendor, surrounded by people. Everyone respectfully called him "old daddy" and praised him for being blessed.

Like Jiang Bai, Grandpa Jiang, who had been an old and transparent person all his life, had never been so glorious and respected!

Grandpa Jiang's smile never disappeared along the way, from Xujia Village to Jiangjia Village. The first house on the roadside was Jiang Liu's home.

The person who helped Jiang Xi and her family get their things put Jiang Xi's things at her doorstep and said, "Your parents haven't come back yet, and your house probably isn't cleaned yet. Let's go to my sister-in-law's house tonight!"

"Yes, yes, let's go to my house. I just killed a pig, and I'll cook you something delicious tonight!"

Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "Why do I have to go to your house? My second grandson is getting married, so I'm going to my eldest son's house tonight."

Everyone knew they would not go, after all, their eldest son was still in the village. They were being polite and really wanted Jiang Xi to have dinner at their home.

It was not easy to invite Jiang Xi to have dinner at their home now. Her willingness to have dinner at their home showed that she was close to their family. Who in the village would not want to invite Jiang Xi to have dinner at their home? How face-saving!

Jiang Xi was facing this strange house and didn’t know how to get in. Grandpa Jiang said, “Let’s go to your uncle’s house. The key should be at your uncle’s house.”

Before he walked out of the prefabricated plank bridge, his eldest cousin Jiang Hongjun came trotting down and said from a distance, “Why didn’t you call us before you came back so that we could pick you up? The road is so slippery. It was only when my sister-in-law told me that you were back that I knew about it.” He ran while holding the key and said, “The key is with me. I’ll go to the house and pick you up.” Come and open the door for you. I knew you were coming back. Your sister-in-law came over to clean up two days ago."

He walked around in a big circle and finally reached the other end of the ditch. He crossed the prefabricated bridge and came over with the key to open the door. When he saw Song Peifeng, he was surprised. He looked at Song Peifeng curiously, and then he saw Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng holding hands. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is this your brother-in-law?"

He was actually very surprised. How could Xi bring his partner back so quickly?

Bringing a partner home is equivalent to settling down. Everyone in the village knows that this person is your partner. If you break up in the future and find a new partner, it will not sound good.

In his opinion, Jiang Xi is still a child. He hasn't finished college yet. Why did he suddenly bring his partner back?

By the way, Luo Luo will only be nineteen after the Chinese New Year, right?

It is normal for a nineteen-year-old girl in the village to have a boyfriend, but for his Luo Luo, he felt that it was too early. He couldn't help

but look at Song Peifeng. At first glance, he felt that the young man was very worthy of Jiang Luo. Then there was his temperament. He had a good temperament and was tall. He and Jiang Luo looked like a match made in heaven.

All along, he didn't know what kind of person could be worthy of Jiang Luo. He felt that no one he had met could be worthy of his sister. Now that he saw Song Peifeng, the image of his brother-in-law in his mind finally came true.

That's right, only a young man like this who is as outstanding as my sister can be worthy of my sister.

He greeted Song Peifeng very warmly and said, "It must have been difficult to come here? We don't have a bridge here, so we can only walk. You must be tired? Come to my house and have a rest."

Jiang Xing introduced Song Peifeng, "This is my cousin, Jiang Hongjun."

Song Peifeng also smiled and nodded, "Hello, brother. I am Xing's boyfriend, Song Peifeng."

As the oldest of the Jiang family's generation, Jiang Hongjun has always acted like a big brother and taken good care of his younger brothers and sisters. He is the eldest and has been working as a bricklayer with Uncle Jiang for many years, building houses for people. His skin is a little dark from the sun and looks very rough.

He opened the door of Jiang's house and took Jiang Xi's things in. Seeing that there was still a live duck, he asked curiously, "Why is there still a duck?"

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "A big sister gave it to me on the road, and I had to take it."

Jiang Hongjun heard this and said proudly, "That's right. You don't know how famous our Jiangjia Village is in the surrounding area since you returned to your hometown to fight the flood and provide disaster relief. Everyone who mentions our Jiangjia Village will say this." He raised a thumb, with a proud expression on his face.

Such reputation was brought by her sister alone.

He said, "Your second brother went on a blind date this year. When the other party heard that he was your second cousin, he agreed immediately without saying a word." He was smiling.

He has big eyes and big eyelids. Because he works as a bricklayer in the wind and sun, he is still young, but when he smiles, there are already fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

After bringing in Jiang Xi's things, he asked Jiang Xi to go to his house for dinner.

Jiang Xi and his friends were also going to see Grandma Jiang, and Song Peifeng's parents also prepared many gifts for Grandma Jiang.

Although Song Peifeng's father was not from Wucheng, he had been a secretary in Wucheng for three years. He knew all the rules about marriage in Wucheng. In addition to cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, he also prepared six gifts such as donkey-hide gelatin, cordyceps, and cakes.

Most families, besides cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and some cakes and fruits, make up the six gifts. Basically, they don't prepare donkey hide gelatin and cordyceps. Song's father and mother prepared these two things, which shows that they value Jiang Xi very much.

Song Peifeng and his friends went to see Grandma Jiang with gifts for Grandma Jiang and Uncle Jiang.

When Grandma Jiang was young, she had a very hot temper. When she was old and believed in Christianity, her temper became better and her face became more kind. Every day, she held a songbook and gathered with a group of Christian believers to sing to the thick songbook. She, who was illiterate, actually learned a lot of words because of this.

Before we even got close to Uncle Jiang's house, people were already greeting Grandpa Jiang Xing: "Xing Xing, are you back?"

"Xing Xing, did you bring your partner back?"

Everyone ran out of their houses and stood on their terraces to watch the excitement. Some people who were playing cards stopped playing and wanted to see who Jiang Xing had brought back.

Some people curiously gathered around to watch the excitement and followed them directly to Uncle Jiang's house. Someone from a distance shouted loudly: "Grandma, your granddaughter is back with her grandson-in-law!"

After this shout, even more people came out to watch the excitement.

Grandma Jiang, who was playing card games in the house, heard the voices. At first, she didn't realize that she was being called. After being reminded several times, she realized that she was being called. She was surprised and said, "What? Lingling has brought a partner back?"

In Grandma Jiang's mind, Jiang Ling was still young, and her two brothers hadn't brought a partner back yet, so how come she had brought a partner back? She

put down the card games and ran out to see Song Peifeng. Her face immediately broke into a smile. She looked at Song Peifeng from left to right, and she was satisfied with everything she saw.

Jiang Ling introduced Song Peifeng one by one, "This is my grandma."

Song Peifeng smiled and followed and called out, "Grandma!" Then he handed the gift he brought to Grandma Jiang, who took it and put it aside. A group of people followed to see the new son-in-law of Jiangjia Village.

Grandma Jiang simply smiled from ear to ear as she looked at Song Peifeng: "Hey, hey, hey, good, it's cold outside, come in and warm yourself by the fire!"

This was also Song Peifeng's first time to visit the countryside below Wucheng. He accepted it very well and behaved very well, sitting upright with his hands on his thighs.

Jiang Xi introduced someone to him, and he followed Jiang Xi to call for people.

More and more people came to watch, which was more exciting than seeing Jiang Hongbing's new wife.

When they knew that Jiang Xi's partner was from National Tsing Hua University, they felt that the two of them were more suitable.

In their hearts, Jiang Xi was so outstanding, and only a college student as outstanding as her could be worthy of her.

Aunt Jiang was also very happy. She treated her son-in-law like her own son-in-law. Her round, plump face was full of friendly smiles. She brought out a lot of fruit plates and placed them in front of Song Peifeng. She also asked him where he was from, what he did at home, and how old he was. She

followed all the normal procedures for meeting the parents.

Jiang Xi saw that she had asked almost all the questions, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Isn't my second brother going to marry a sister-in-law? The protagonist is my second brother, aunt, I will take Peifeng upstairs to see how my second brother's new room is decorated!"

Because Uncle Jiang's family was going to marry a new daughter-in-law, there were many people at home, and the house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

The aunt-in-law also knew that so many people were watching, and she was afraid that Comrade Xiao Song would be scared by the curious eyes of so many people, so she protected her new son-in-law and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you should take Xiao Song upstairs to see your second brother's new house and see if there is anything else to buy!"

When they saw Jiang Xi pulling Song Peifeng upstairs to see the new house, the onlookers laughed again.

Jiang Xi didn't lean on him until they were alone upstairs, and she looked up at him and smiled, "How is it? Are you adapting?"

Song Peifeng adapted very well, and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he was worried that when he took her home, she would not be able to adapt to the big family.

At night, Jiang Xi slept at Uncle Jiang's mother's house, and didn't go to the house built by Jiang's father and mother.

Logically speaking, it was her own "home", but she never felt a sense of belonging to that house. Perhaps she didn't think it was her home from the bottom of her heart, so her aunt said at night: "Don't go back at night, just sleep here, the quilts are all freshly dried, and the sheets are all washed clean."

Jiang Xi agreed and slept at her aunt's house.

Now Uncle Jiang didn't give her a cold shoulder when she ate and slept at his house, but he still loved to preach. Let her fly away, don't forget to help her brothers at home. After hearing this, her aunt picked up some food with chopsticks for him: "I can't even stop you from talking when I eat!" Uncle

Jiang was just preaching out of habit. He believed that when a girl has made progress, she should help her brothers from her mother's family.

But the amazing thing is that after Aunt Jiang married into the town, he did not let Aunt Jiang pull him and his father apart.

Jiang Xi slept in bed at night. She was born and raised here, but her heart was not here. She wanted to escape from here all the time.

She and Song Peifeng were in different rooms. This was the custom. She was still young, and they would not agree to let her sleep with him now. But she missed Song Peifeng inexplicably.

In the cold winter, she quietly opened the door, touched Song Peifeng's room, got into his arms, and hugged him tightly to sleep.

Song Peifeng hadn't slept yet, but she suddenly snuggled in his arms like this, and he instinctively sensed that she was in a bad mood. He let her hold him tightly and gently stroked her back: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xi pressed her whole body against him, wanting to absorb warmth, and answered in a muffled voice: "I missed you."

For the young and hot-blooded Song Peifeng, every word and every breath Jiang Xi said was a great test for him.

Everyone in Jiangjia Village thought that Jiang Xi was back from winter vacation this time and would not leave.

Who knew that Jiang Xi took Song Peifeng away from Jiangjia Village early the next morning.

Many people knew that Jiang Xi had returned, so they went to Uncle Jiang's mother's house to see her. Who knew that she had already left? They all asked in surprise: "Didn't you just return? Why did you leave? Why didn't you stay at home for a few more days during the winter vacation?"

People outside didn't know, but Uncle Jiang knew, and he said happily: "Xi Xi and Bai Zi both have to work. Bai Zi went to film a play, and Xi Xi also received a script."

They didn't understand what receiving a script meant, they just knew that Jiang Bai was probably going to be on TV again.

Not every household in Jiangjia Village has a TV. Few families use color TVs, and most of them have black and white TVs that can only play a few channels.

This year, the popularity of "Little Swallow" and "The King's Guard" allowed the whole village to see Jiang Bai on TV.

Whenever "The King's Woman" was on, a group of people would carry small stools to whoever had a color TV to watch "The King's Woman" and Jiang Bai.

In the eyes of the people in Jiangjia Village, Jiang Bai was a promising man.

Now when people in Jiangjia Village mentioned Jiang's father and his family, they no longer talked about Jiang Song or his brothers and sisters, but all they talked about were Jiang Bai and Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi was originally going to separate from Song Peifeng in Wucheng, but for some reason, Jiang Xi said goodbye to him happily and calmly as usual, even though she said nothing. However, he still sensed her depression, so he only went home to say goodbye to his parents, and then accompanied Jiang Xi to Hangzhou.

Jiang Xi was held by his hand all the way, and she closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder without saying a word.

Song Peifeng's company really warmed her at this moment.

It was not until the car arrived that she rubbed her head against his neck, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "It's great to have you here." She looked into his eyes sincerely: "Comrade Xiao Song, thank you."

Comrade Xiao Song stretched out his hand to rub her hair, ruffling her hair, but she didn't care, shook her hair, and smiled brightly again.

Because the drama "White Snake" is a self-made drama of CCTV, it also serves as a publicity work for Hangzhou and even the entire province. The Hangzhou Municipal Government also attaches great importance to it. The accommodation and three meals a day of the crew are provided by the Hangzhou Municipal Government. They rented two quaint courtyards near Nanhu Lake for the "White Snake" crew and arranged chefs to cook three meals a day for them.

Even the extras and supporting actors in the crew got a chance to stay at the South Lake with free food and accommodation.

He Xiaofang, Lu Xuehua, and Liu Ping were all here.

As soon as she saw Jiang Xi, He Xiaofang flew over happily, picked up Jiang Xi and spun around.

She was so happy!

She didn't want to go home in the first place. As soon as she had a holiday, she was introduced by Jiang Xi to the "White Snake" crew to play a supporting role of a black-skinned female demon. There were also Liu Ping and Lu Xuehua. Because of her youthful and beautiful appearance, Liu Ping also got a role with several lines in the "White Snake" crew.

The three of them can make money, film and appear on TV, and get together with Jiang Xi. The young girls are so happy!

Jiang Xi was also very happy. She was used to He Xiaofang hugging her and spinning around when she was happy, and she even enjoyed her enthusiasm.

Her originally frozen heart gradually warmed up after seeing them.

Jiang Bai and his crew were still filming, and Jiang Bai's main scenes were basically all concentrated in Hangzhou.

The courtyard provided by the government was also specially selected by someone before. A large part of the main plot was filmed in these two courtyards, and the plots of Broken Bridge, Baidi Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, etc. all needed to be filmed here. After filming here, they had to move to Shudian.

As for the scene of the little white snake going down the mountain, it was first filmed in Huangshan, Shenxianju, Anji and other places. Every scene was beautifully filmed, like a fairyland.

Producer Li and screenwriter Yuan Feng were also very happy about Jiang Wu's arrival. Before, they said that she would stay with the crew for a week, but Jiang Wu had to take an exam, so she came only now. As

soon as Jiang Wu came, they asked her to read the script, which was revised at any time during filming.

The two chief screenwriters Yuan Feng and Tang Jiang are very capable, and Jiang Wu didn't need to make any changes at all. The plot, logic, and lines are very complete. Producer Li, the director, and the two chief screenwriters said that they wanted Jiang Wu to take a look to see if there was anything that needed to be changed. In fact, it was just a courtesy. There was really no need for her to change anything.

But she still read the current script carefully.

Jiang Wu noticed that many scenes in the script were actually shot in spring and summer, such as lotus.

In winter, only the remaining lotus in Nanhu Lake can be photographed, and the summer scene of "the endless green lotus leaves and the red lotus in the sun" cannot be photographed.

When it comes to photographing lotus flowers and lotus leaves, Jiang Wu suddenly thought of her hometown, where wild lotus flowers grow endlessly on both sides of the river.

The lotus flowers on both sides of the river are really the most beautiful scenery she has ever seen in her life, and they are many times more beautiful than the few lotus flowers planted sparsely by the Nanhu Lake.

She couldn't help but recommend the endless river beach of her hometown to producer and director Li.

If the crew of "White Snake" can go to her hometown to shoot, and it is broadcast on CCTV in the future, it will be a huge boost to the development of tourism economy in her hometown!

Once she talked about this, she was not sleepy anymore!
