??Chapter 77: I can’t afford to pay even if I lose everything I own!
The director originally just wanted them to give it a try, but who knew that the things they handed in would be more outrageous than the last.
The items handed in by the other three groups of guests were normal, but everything changed when Meng Chuyuan placed the big diamond ring on the table.
The director lowered his eyes and looked at the diamond ring, which was like a hot potato, making him feel at a loss as to how to deal with it.
When others found out that Meng Chuyuan handed over the diamond ring, they admired her from the bottom of their hearts for being so serious about a task and giving up such a valuable thing.
But the rules have already been announced, and the show must go on no matter what.
After the director calmed down, he began to let the live broadcast continue: "Through the things you submitted, the program team has already felt your sincerity."
The guests were waiting for the director to announce a result.
"Of course not! My sister Meng even handed over the huge diamond ring. How could she not be sincere?"
"Director, that's someone's wedding ring. I'm temporarily pawning it to you. You have to take good care of it. If you lose it, you might even lose everything and not be able to pay for it."
Director: I'm not even worth the price of this diamond ring. Now, I have to not only honor my ancestors, but also take good care of their belongings.
[Sister Meng stayed out of the matter, feeling like she was watching a show, as if she wasn't the one who just handed over the diamond ring, hahahaha]
[Hot search alert ahead, everyone, check out the famous scene first]
As for the four items they handed in, if they were ranked according to their value, Meng Chuyuan's diamond ring would definitely win, so when the director asked Meng Chuyuan's group to choose first, no one else had any objection.
Meng Chuyuan selected 20 kilograms of rice, and then the staff took them to visit designated needy families.
The remaining three groups of directors were still struggling with how to rank them. After all, they were all big stars, and everything on them was a famous brand. If they were not ranked properly, even if the guests did not have a bad temper, the audience watching the live broadcast would be angry.
However, it is indeed inconvenient to disclose the price in the live broadcast room. The three groups of guests also knew that the director was in a dilemma, so they all made concessions and followed the ladies' preference to let the Liao sisters choose first.
Liao Jiake did not choose cooking oil because the pair of earrings they handed in were relatively cheap among the items in the other two groups, so she chose fruit.
Since Tingjiu's group chose milk, the remaining bucket of cooking oil naturally fell to Qi Zhen's group.
At this time, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had already arrived at the home of the person they were visiting.
The family they came to visit was rather special because they did not live on land, but in an old fishing boat.
Not only was Meng Chuyuan surprised, but even the audience found it unbelievable.
[Oh my goodness! So there really are people who make boats their homes and farm the sea! But this boat is so shabby!]
This fishing boat looks quite small, it seems like it can barely fit a bed. How do they manage to live there?
[Help! My tears are bursting out of my eyes.]
[Last time I cried because I was moved by the vegetable farmers, this episode is making me cry again.]
They had been out to sea frequently in the past two days and had taken many boat trips, but they had never seen such a backward wooden boat.
The boat was moored at the shore, and Meng Chuyuan and the others got on directly.
Since the boat couldn't hold so many people, the photographers didn't dare get on and could only take pictures from the shore.
The fisherman noticed that someone had boarded the boat and came out of the cabin.
An elderly man came out with short black and white hair, dark skin, and an old black coat. He was holding an old-fashioned enamel mug in one hand and a pair of bamboo chopsticks in the other.
It looks like he is eating.
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said politely: "Uncle, we are here to see you."
The uncle was stunned: "Hello."
"Did you just have lunch?"
"Yes, I just came back from fishing." The uncle had not even finished half of the rice in his cup, and it was obvious that he had just started eating.
[It’s already past two o’clock, and I’m only eating lunch now.]
[How come there isn't even a decent bowl? This is too pitiful, isn't it?]
[It seems like Sister Meng always speaks first, she’s really awesome hahahaha]
[Getting up close with the fishermen's lives also helps educate the public about life at sea. Many city kids don't know how hard it is to come by some things, so this is a very thoughtful effort.]
Seeing this uncle looking so helpless reminded me of my dad. The last time I went back secretly, he looked so helpless when he saw me.
Fishing is completely dependent on the weather. If the wind is strong today, we won't be able to go out to sea and catch any fish. Also, it seems some places have a time when fishing is prohibited.
Meng Chuyuan knew that he was eating, so she didn't chat too much and directly called Lu Jinsen up and asked him to bring the rice.
"We brought you a bag of rice as a small token of our appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
The uncle looked at them taking out a bag of rice and seemed a little overwhelmed: "How can this be so embarrassing..."
He didn't know anyone would come today, so he was not mentally prepared at all.
Later, during the conversation with Meng Chuyuan, the uncle learned that they were recording a program and came to visit him specially.
When the uncle saw them, he stopped eating and invited them to sit in the cabin for a while.
Meng Chuyuan considered that the photographer had not boarded the boat, and if they went in, they would not be able to take pictures. In order to take care of the program crew, she temporarily declined the uncle politely: "You eat first, we will stay outside."
Although they caught up with the man who was returning from fishing, they arrived at the wrong time, and Meng Chuyuan didn't want to delay his meal.
The uncle hesitated for a moment, then said enthusiastically, "Then I'll go in and get two stools for you to sit on."
"Thanks."
After a while, the uncle came with two small bamboo stools and asked them to sit for a while.
Because he felt embarrassed to leave them outside, the uncle also sat outside and accompanied them while eating.
In order to achieve better shooting effects, the program team finally prepared a drone to show the audience in the live broadcast room a close-up view of the scene.
Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had been on board for some time. Apart from the kind uncle in front of them, there was no one else in the cabin.
"Uncle, do you live alone?" Meng Chuyuan asked curiously.
The uncle nodded and said, "Yes, I'm alone."
Meng Chuyuan could feel a strong sense of loneliness from the uncle, but he still treated people with a smile, giving people a very optimistic attitude.
His wife died of illness in her early years and left no children. He has made a living by fishing over the years and is accustomed to wandering on the sea.
For fishermen like him, the sea is his wealth and this small wooden boat is his home.
