At six o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was no longer so hot, the doors of every household opened, and the village became more lively.
Jiang Qiao didn't have an assistant to help him clean the room, so he had to do it himself.
Most of the houses in the countryside are self-built, with many empty rooms but not many renovated rooms. The room Zhang Huifang reserved for Jiang Qiao is on the first floor, to the right of the living room.
The production crew had installed cameras in the room. Jiang Qiao went over to greet the newly appeared camera, and then it was time for him to pack his luggage alone.
The room is not big, with an iron bed that creaks at night when you sleep, and a wooden table with a lot of paint peeling off, but fortunately it has been wiped clean.
The rest are just some miscellaneous stuff.
Okay, Jiang Qiao knew that her current room was converted from a storage room.
It doesn't matter.
She doesn't ask for much, just a place to live.
Jiang Qiao only brought one suitcase, which didn't contain much stuff, so he packed it quickly.
Half an hour later, Jiang Qiao packed up his things and went out.
In the yard, Zhang Huifang was watering the vegetables in the small vegetable garden, so her body was covered with mud and dust.
Jiang Qiao was not a careless person and was just about to go over to help.
Suddenly, someone from the program crew walked in with a task card in his hand.
Jiang Qiao took the task card and read out the contents to ensure that the audience could hear it.
"Please pay the rent: Do you want free food and free housing? Do you want free food and free money? Do you want both? No! You don't! Your great personality won't allow you to do that! So go earn money to pay the rent!"
Jiang Qiao laughed at herself when she read this. She continued in a low voice, "Of course, I believe the current guests have limited finances. The production team has a conscience and has paid part of your rent, but... the production team is short of funds. The guests are requested to find a way to pay the remaining rent on their own!"
Jiang Qiao: ...
Springtime of the Cowherd: [Good-looking, love watching. ]
Green Bean Old Turtle: [It has to be me, Director Zheng, who loves to give the guests difficult questions! ]
Xiao Ming said: [That's right! Who can be more stingy than him?]
…
Zheng Yuan, who was eating watermelon in the RV, sneezed several times in a row, "Who missed me?"
The assistant director at the side said: "It must be my sister-in-law!"
Zheng Yuan chuckled twice: "Your sister-in-law is so clingy. She missed me after only being away for a day."
…
Jiang Qiao didn’t know how to make money for the time being, so she planned to go out for a walk.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden veil over the country road. Walking along the path, the wheat fields sway gently in the breeze, making a subtle rustling sound. At the end of the road lies a small river, its waters shimmering in the setting sun.
By the river, willows are swaying, their branches dancing in the wind. The river water is flowing gently, so clear that you can see the stones and water plants at the bottom of the river. Several children are touching something in the river with their bare feet.
Among these children were Li You and Li Zhaodi. Jiang Qiao walked over quickly to say hello.
"Li You!"
When someone called his name, Li You didn't go into the water and quickly ran to the shore.
Jiang Qiao is pretty and fashionably dressed. The children here have never seen anyone like her. As soon as she arrived, she instantly attracted the children's attention.
"Li You, who is she?"
"How did you two meet?"
Zhang Baolai thought of the handsome man who had come to his house today. He roared, "I know, I know. She's a star, the kind that could be on TV! She came to our village to... to work!"
When Jiang Qiao heard the last word "working", she did not deny it because she was indeed there to work.
"Li You, what are you doing here?" Jiang Qiao asked.
Li You pointed at the bucket on the ground and said, "Catch some fish! My mom said she'll fry some for you tomorrow! Look, I've already caught so many!"
The water in the village has not been polluted, so the fish here are extremely plump.
Li You has already caught quite a few, and the fish in the bucket are enough for the whole family to eat tomorrow.
Puppy Dian Shao'er: [Who said the owner wasn't hospitable back then?! I just didn't say it!]
Love eating potatoes: [Yeah, this is the countryside where poverty hasn't been eradicated yet. Just looking at the family's situation, you can tell they're really broke. A lot of people are criticizing their simple food!]
Sandy: [Those trolls are just like that. They have a dark heart and see everything as dark. I live in the countryside and our family's meals are generally simple. There's no such thing as being stingy!]
…
Jiang Qiao looked at the river and had an idea in her mind. If a child could catch so many fish, how many could she, an adult, catch?
Since the fish are so easy to catch, can she...
The rent is settled now.
"Xiaoyou, can you teach me how to catch fish?"
"Okay!" Li You agreed.
He handed the landing net to Jiang Qiao, "The water is shallow here. Although there are few fish, they are easy to catch. The moment you see the fish..."
Jiang Qiao: "...just use a scoop net to catch it?"
Li You: "Yeah, we all catch them this way."
Jiang Qiao: ...
"Okay, I'll try."
Jiang Qiao had changed into slippers when she went out. She looked at the shallow water. The stones and gravel at the bottom of the river were clearly visible, lying there quietly.
As he stepped into the water, a cool feeling came from the soles of his feet. The river water gently wrapped around his feet. Jiang Qiao could see his toes swaying gently in the water. Small fish and shrimps were playing around his feet. Their agile movements added a bit of vitality to the river water.
Jiang Qiao held the scoop net tightly, staring at the water surface, waiting for the fish to appear.
Every time a fish approached, she would quickly reach out with the net, but each time it was just a little bit off.
