Chapter 71 I’m afraid I’m going crazy!
No announcement, first live broadcast.
Shu Ming sat in front of the boundless fields, where layers of green wheat waves with a hint of gold rolled in the wind.
Holding his phone steady, he tilted his head and chatted with everyone in a casual manner, with the white noise of nature behind him - the rustling of leaves, the singing of birds, and his subtle breathing.
In fact, it has been a long time since we have seen Shu Ming speak so promptly.
After the audition, most of what Shu Ming left to the outside world were his images in film and television dramas, or his official statements at offline events.
Guan Xianyi never forced Shu Ming to follow the character setting, nor did he ever ask him to match the image of the happy puppy in "Choice 1". He just let Shu Ming play his own role.
So now when you listen to him, you will find that Shu Ming has only grown one year older. Facing the numerous doubts and different voices, he can already respond calmly and steadily, and his speaking rhythm is firmly in his hands.
It’s very different from the previous stereotype...
Or maybe Shu Ming has always been like this?
Maybe it’s just as Shu Ming told everyone at the beginning of the live broadcast - "killing time."
The entire live broadcast was not very dense, and there were even many large blank periods.
In the silence, some people couldn't stand it anymore and left first, but more people chose to stay.
...Have we all gone mad? Is this the best time to just sit here with him and stare blankly?
But I was inexplicably reluctant to leave. Perhaps it was because Shu Ming was here, but just quietly accompanying him to watch the wheat fields felt very healing.
So Shu Ming came over and was ready to say goodbye to everyone, but many people were trying to keep him - please continue broadcasting for a while, even if it’s okay if you don’t say anything!
Shu Ming thought for a while.
Fans all thought that he was going to stop broadcasting and were already trying to persuade each other not to put too much pressure on Xiao Shu.
The boy dusted himself off and stood up.
He said, "Well, I'll go harvest the rice."
ah?
**
Around National Day is the time to harvest rice.
Walking around the wheat fields and going behind the mountain, we suddenly saw the view - it turned out to be terraced fields.
Province K is mountainous and has limited usable land, so they have to snatch land from nature.
It’s just because the utilization rate of terraced fields is not high, so Shu Ming’s family only has a few small pieces of land.
Harvesters cannot enter such small fields, so we are forced to harvest by hand.
It can be said to be small, but it is at least more than one acre.
I had originally planned to hire someone to harvest the crops this year.
Shu Ming now finally has some savings in his hands, which gives him some breathing room and the confidence to hire someone.
People who have been doing farm work since childhood actually have a love-hate relationship with these things. When Shu Ming was harvesting wheat as a child, I don’t know how many tears he shed behind the scenes.
In the past, they had no money to rent a machine or hire someone to help, so he, his elder brother and his aunt had to cut the fruits by hand.
For a child's height, squatting to collect is just right.
But if you squat for too long, your legs will become numb, and squatting to harvest wheat is very slow, making it easy to fall behind others and delay the harvesting process. If you do this at other places, you will be scolded!
But what if you bend down to mow? You don't even have to mow a whole acre. After just half a day, your waist will be so painful that you can't lift it up.
After a long time, the movements become more skillful and you get used to it... but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt anymore.
Every grain of rice is precious, so Shu Ming has always hated people who waste food.
When Shu Ming was in junior high and high school, he dreamed of going to the capital.
His understanding of the outside world is limited to teachers, books, and the Internet.
I heard that one month’s salary in a big city is equivalent to two years’ harvest for a family.
Shu Ming wanted to make a name for himself. He didn't want to harvest rice and wheat anymore. He didn't want his aunt to drag her injured back to the fields when her family couldn't even afford to rent a harvester. He didn't want to sell his ten acres of wheat, which was barely enough to make ends meet. After deducting the cost of living, he couldn't even afford a year's college tuition.
So Shu Ming studied very hard. He was a country boy who was admitted at the bottom of the list despite receiving extra points. He had to adapt to life in the capital and work part-time. He also had to get a scholarship from the capital university to supplement his family income. How much effort did he have to put in?
He had finally gotten here, but now, after going around in circles, he had to come back to harvest rice.
Pick up the knife, roll up your trouser legs, and get down to the ground.
It seems like all of this is an action engraved in the genes.
The fields were silent, and the rest of the fields had been harvested, leaving only theirs.
Repetitive motions are great for clearing your mind.
It just so happens that Shu Ming is a person with very complicated thoughts.
People like him are actually thinking all the time. If they think for too long, they will forget their original intention.
The audience just stared at this kid in amazement as he silently harvested rice for an entire afternoon and sowed for five hours!
The camera was placed so far away that only his back could be seen submerged in the rice field.
It was not until dinner time that Liang Ruowen, who had just finished an online meeting in the room, came to call people in the sunset.
"Xiao Shu——"
"Go home for dinner—"
Shu Ming straightened up.
The young man's broad shoulders are still a bit thin, but the muscles in his arms already show a sense of strength.
He took the phone, brushed his sweaty hair upwards, and brought the camera incredibly close to his face and eyes. The stark contrast of colors caught everyone's view.
How could I have been so close to Shu Ming before? Even the sweat on my eyelashes was clearly visible. The impact and hormones in that instant were almost off the charts!
A group of people gasped in unison.
The culprit ignored everyone's attempts to keep him and said goodbye cleanly.
The last shot of the live broadcast was the beautiful K Province terraced fields under the sunset, shining with the same brilliant luster as the sky.

#Shu Ming live broadcast of harvesting rice#
#k Province Terraces#
Two topics in a row!
In this extremely impetuous and fast-paced live broadcast era, if the anchor stops talking for even a second, he will lose tens of thousands of viewers.
There were nearly 100,000 people on the entire network, who accompanied Shu Ming without saying a word and quietly harvested rice for an entire afternoon.
Even before this guy started promoting it, some people started to actively spread the word.
Xiaoshu's live broadcast location is Province K, which has many tourist attractions, including xxx. Everyone is welcome to visit...
The K Province Culture and Tourism Department was simply overwhelmed by this unexpected good news. A live broadcast helped everyone complete their KPI ahead of time.
Question: What is it like to be taken flying?
Shu fans: Hehe, we are familiar with this and we have a say!
The online discussion continues:
"Farm work is really hard..S's clothes are completely soaked..."
"Honestly, it's so healing. I really want to go back to my hometown... At least the rice plants won't call me at three in the morning and say they want to turn into mangoes tomorrow..."
"Speaking of which, why doesn't S use a machine to harvest the crops? Why does he have to do it by hand? Are you trying to be pitiful?"
"Has ls lost his mind?.. This kind of small road can't be accessed by machine, so it can only be cut by hand."
Shu Ming had just hung up the phone with Guan Xianyi and was sitting cross-legged next to Liang Ruowen, also reading the comments online.
Shu Ming held his chin in his hand and asked, "Why do so many people want to come to the countryside to farm?"
Liang Ruowen looked at him in the light and saw some fresh, slight scratches on his hands... It turned out that this was how Xiaoshu got the scars on his hands.
"Don't you want to come back?"
"No." Shu Ming shook his head, almost turning into a rattle.
He curled up his knees and said, "I'm so tired. Sometimes I can't sleep. I hide in my bed and tell my eldest brother - I must pass the exam when I grow up. In this life, the next life, the next life... I never want to do farm work again."
Shu Ming hadn't been this tired in a long time.
As he was chatting, his eyelids became heavy and he gradually fell asleep.
Liang Ruowen stared at his sleeping profile and wanted to carry him back to the house.
Although Shu Ming has long arms and legs, he is not heavy, especially recently he has become lighter.
But... Liang Ruowen stretched out his hand, and then calmed down in an instant.
He has no right to do such a thing.
There is no such close distance between good friends, so he could only restrain himself and withdraw his hand, gently touching Shu Ming's shoulder.
Then, he watched Shu Ming rubbing his eyes in a daze, leaving him with a staggering back.
**
Send Liang Ruwen away and bring the eldest brother back.
Shu Mingduo did not dare to rest for a moment and immediately started filming the "cycling vlog".
The video shows a five-day cycling trip. In fact, in order to include several good scenic routes in K Province, the two brothers had to make several awkward turns.
Not to mention the difficulty of riding!
The steepest slope is close to 75 degrees. Occasionally, when it is foggy and rainy, the camera is a feast for the eyes, but the cyclists will break out in cold sweats and can only concentrate on holding the handlebars tightly for fear of tipping over.
It’s too dangerous, there are only continuous mountains!
Of course, Shu Ming's fear will not be shown to the audience.
Most of the vlogs contribute to hilarious scenes.
For example: [I thought I was unknown, but every uncle I passed by recognized me?]
[Oh, the person you know isn't Shu Ming, but Bai Shan. That's fine.]
Another example: [I chatted with a Russian-speaking foreign cyclist along the way. Neither of us could understand each other, but we managed to talk for four hours.]
[What a terrifying e-person! ! ! ]
In one episode in particular, Shu Ming happened to meet a fellow cyclist.
The interaction between the two people was so good that it was even forwarded and explained by marketing accounts——
Netizens commented: "Oh my god, S is really good at providing emotional value. He almost coaxed the guy in front into an embryo."
"Oh my, this guy said, 'It's my duty to help you fix your car,' but he willingly squatted there for an hour and got caught with a black bass."
After the vlog was released, this guy even wrote a short essay on Weibo because he didn't have Shu Ming's contact information.
His words were full of meaning, saying that Shu Ming was his best partner so far and had given him great encouragement during his cycling journey...
At the end of his essay, he wrote: "If possible, I would like to ride across China with you in the future. Please don't forget me!"
"Every word contains love, every word is love..."
"Oh my god, what a mess I've been caught in..."
"My husband only needs to make a slight move to stun everyone..."
At the end of the vlog, Shu Ming waved his arms vigorously at the camera in front of the mountain and shouted: "Welcome everyone to K Province——"
This scene has become a favorite of the K Province Culture and Tourism Company!
It happens every day, over and over again, but I never get tired of it.
As it turned out, they were right.
Even though he missed the golden period of National Day, Shu Ming still managed to drive hundreds of millions of tourists to his hometown with his own efforts. This figure is quite terrifying.
It reminds people of last summer, the grand occasion dominated by Shu Ming’s stage live shots!
It was the same back then. Who hasn’t seen the second public performance stage and Shu Ming’s solo campaigning video on their phone?
Who on earth hasn’t had the slightest thought of traveling to Province K?
This year, Province K has used this killer weapon again, and the effect is even better than last year!
As a result, the K Province Culture and Tourism Department posted battle reports on social media every day, happily showing off to the world.
Many children from the province also spoke out:
[Thank you, Shu Ming. He also raised the social donations last year. Thanks to the tourism this year, my business has improved.]
[Yes, my family runs a travel agency, and many people come to us asking for the same itinerary as Shu Ming. We originally thought we would lose money this year, but we turned a profit!]
Shu Ming always feels that he is not popular enough.
But in fact, he was so popular in the talent show last year that he even became popular overseas. Just ask, which young netizen doesn’t know him?
Later he starred in this year's national drama. The popular role of Bai Shan was not only recognized by the middle-aged group, but even grandpa and aunt could recognize him. It can be said that his basic support is stable.
He was the only one who felt that he was not popular enough and did not have enough status, and was worried about the sales of V magazine this year.
Guan Xianyi didn't say much to him, this thing just speaks for itself with data.
Anyway, no matter whether Shu Ming himself likes these two looks from V, Guan Xianyi has to admit that Zhai Helian is good at taking pictures, and no one can fail to be moved by the unique beauty of Shu Ming.
Zhai Helian caught up with Shu Ming at the end of his teenage years and magnified the last bit of delicacy and fragility in him.
It’s really the tail. Shu Ming is maturing and growing up day by day. I’m afraid he will never have such temperament again.
Guan Xianyi was even planning to buy a set for his own collection, and he didn't even dare to imagine how his fans would react when they saw it.
I’m afraid he’s going crazy!
October 19th.
V family posted on social media.
Tomorrow at 12 noon, the pre-sale link for the November issue will be available——
Coming soon.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I have finally finished writing it.
I will stick to updating daily... Please rest assured!!!
Thanks for reading!
Also: The next book will definitely be "The Sickly Charmer Who Wants to Die" because that's what we promised before (I guess it won't be too long, it depends on the situation)
I'm a little hesitant about the next book. Do you want to read about the career struggles of the fake honest men and real succubi in the entertainment industry, or a sports competition story written by Xiao Gou?
Ask for advice!
