Already driven one crazy
The authentic farm-style stir-fry goes really well with rice. Li Xuran licked his swollen lips that were stained by the chili peppers and reached back to hold the bowl. “Enyue, give me another spoonful of chili fried pork.”
"Do you want some more food?"
Li Xuran looked at the box of fried pork with peppers, only one corner of which was left, and said, "Then add two more chopsticks."
The staff held umbrellas outside the car and watched them eat happily. They finally felt relieved. These guys were like serfs who had stood up and sang today. The stingy program crew paid for the first time to go to the restaurant and pack up some farm-style stir-fried dishes to shut their mouths.
The car was filled with the smell of food, and several teenagers were sweating from the spicy peppers. Cheng Enyue threw all the lunch boxes into a plastic bag and said, "Xiao Qian, come and take out the garbage." He was full of energy and it felt great to take the opportunity to order people around.
The staff quickly came forward to take the garbage. Song Yifan took Qiao and said, "Xiao Qian, we just had a meal, and the chili peppers made our mouths a little dry. What do you think?"
The staff member picked up the intercom and said, "Bring a box of water to the guest's car."
"The rice is a bit hard, I want to eat a banana to help my stomach."
The staff member forced a smile and said to Xiang Chuzhe, "Brother, it's raining heavily now. We can eat it another day."
The rain was hitting the umbrellas. The photography teacher and the sound teacher hid under the eaves, protecting the equipment with their bodies. A male teacher wearing a raincoat carried a box of water to the car and said to Chuzhe: "I just want to eat bananas."
The field teacher said, "We still have a few more in our group."
Xiang Chuzhe said with a triumphant look: "Xiao Qian, look, aren't there bananas here?"
The staff brought a few bananas in the rain. They couldn't hide their stabbing eyes. Xiang Chuzhe hid behind Cheng Enyue in fear and said, "Am I going too far?"
Cheng Enyue said: "It's indeed a bit excessive, but they were even more excessive last time. They didn't even want to lend us a pair of rain boots."
Xiang Chuzhe's sense of guilt disappeared instantly, and he covered his microphone and muttered, "After tonight our status will plummet, and we will be back to the days before liberation overnight."
Pei Zongli passed by the place where they were taking shelter with an umbrella, pretending to be on the phone, and said loudly: "Pei Xu, they are still here, do you want me to chase them away?"
Xiaoqian's world was falling. She really wanted to throw away her umbrella, walk out into the heavy rain, and shout, "Stop fighting."
She stepped on the water and ran over to persuade Pei Zongli, "Dad Pei, please don't. Pei Xu promised to give us a few more hours. Please be kind. If the director comes back and I can't keep him, my job will be in jeopardy."
It's not easy to be a slave, and it's even harder to be a slave in the program crew. Xiao Qian tried her best to gain several hours of time, and drove in the heavy rain to pack up the stir-fried dishes. Finally, the brothers calmed down. Now, Old Man Pei has shown up!
"My son told me that I think your production team is dishonest. They came to Peijia Village to film the show, but they didn't give any positive feedback to my son and the villagers. If we don't agree to authorize our faces to appear in your show, then all your shows will be mosaiced."
The raindrops fell into her eyes, and Xiaoqian really wanted to cry! If time could go back, she would definitely cover Jiang Lin's mouth to prevent him from saying those incendiary words.
"Dad Pei, our program team does have some shortcomings. When our director comes back, everyone can speak openly about their ideas. I will try my best to give everyone a satisfactory answer."
"You are capitalists, you only care about making money and don't care about the opinions of ordinary people like us."
"Uncle, I am also an ordinary person. Don't worry, I will definitely convey everyone's thoughts and opinions to the director."
The phone vibrated in his pocket. Pei Zongli turned around to check the message from behind her, then turned around and said, "I know it's not easy for you. You're a girl, about the same age as my little daughter. When I see you, it's like seeing my daughter. The rain won't stop for a while, so why don't you go to the village committee and sit down to avoid the rain."
Xiaoqian felt a sour feeling in her nose, and she bowed and thanked him: "Uncle, thank you so much!"
Pei Zongli secretly made an OK gesture to Pei Xu behind his back, and the teenagers followed the staff to the village committee.
The village committee’s big stage is open to all who can act. Even though the weather is freezing cold and the rain is heavy, it cannot stop the villagers’ enthusiasm for acting.
Pei Qi and his wife arrived at the village committee with their combat team. Aunt Song approached them and touched their camera, saying in protest: "Your camera has taken many videos of me before. You have to delete them. You treat the only doctor in Peijia Village like this. We are not people who can be bullied!"
The photography teachers quickly hugged their cameras and pleaded, "Auntie, let's talk it over."
The aunts were very powerful in fighting. They not only attacked with their mouths, but also with their hands. They unilaterally provoked the fight and performed solo. Xiaoqian was not tall, and was drowned in the middle of the performance by a group of veteran actors.
The teenagers sat on the steps of the stairs, holding back their laughter and taking out their mobile phones to record the video. Cheng Enyue praised: "In the next rural veteran drama competition, all the grandmothers and aunts here will win awards."
Xiaoqian struggled out of the chaos, hearing arguments and scolding. She stepped on a stool and shouted with all her might, "Everyone calm down and listen to me, okay?"
The aunts were still immersed in their own superb acting skills, with no signs of stopping. There was only admiration for their own acting skills in their eyes, and they completely ignored her shouts.
Xiao Qian walked towards the boys dejectedly, sat on the steps below them, and said helplessly: "It's a mess now, everyone drink while the chaos is going on, I'm tired, let's destroy it."
Xiao Qian looked at the chaotic scene, and she couldn't figure out why things had turned out like this in just a few hours. What was the trigger for the sudden mass attack? Was it just because of Jiang Lin's sincere words?
Pei Xu calmly contacted his fellow students at home and compared the prices of the integrated water and fertilizer drip irrigation system. Jiang Lin sent him a message: "Uncle Pei is amazing. He arranged a script for the women's army in a short time. His acting skills are also first-class."
Pei Xu sent an emoji of someone peeping in the dark, with the caption: "This script is completely tailor-made, and the effect can be maximized by playing around with it. Quarreling and eating melons are areas that the women's army has been deeply involved in."
Jiang Lin took a photo of Xiaoqian's back and said, "It's already driven her crazy."
The hall of the village committee was in a mess. The moment the director's car stopped at the gate, Xiaoqian's dim eyes finally saw the light and she almost cried on the spot.
Pei Xu also made a grand appearance holding an umbrella, with the background music of heavy rain, it felt like a big boss braving the wind and rain to go to a secret base to conduct a mysterious transaction or negotiation.
The extras in the village interpreted the two characters' professionalism to the fullest. Not only did they keep suppressing the opponent's momentum with words, making the opponent hide in its shell like a turtle and dare not say a word, but after the protagonist's grand appearance, they consciously set up the negotiation table for both parties and brought several household water bottles and a transparent white glass to pour water for Boss Pei Xu.
The two directors had a feeling of being half dead as they hurried back. Before they could share and celebrate the joy of winning the sponsorship, they received the tragic news that the base camp had suddenly caught fire. They wished they could fly directly to Peijia Village.
Director Zhou said sincerely: "Pei Xu, fellow villagers, I am the chief director of the documentary variety show Let's Go Farming Together. So far, we have been filming in Peijia Village for two months. Time has passed quickly and the filming of the show has gone smoothly. The reason for this success is inseparable from the hard work of several young people, the strong support of the villagers, and the efforts of all the staff of our team."
Aunt Song represented the team and shouted, "We know you are the chief director. You don't need to lay out so much groundwork, as if you were giving a speech at an award ceremony. To sum it up in one sentence, if we, Pei Xu, didn't pay for the project out of our own pockets, what would you shoot? Filming rats crawling through sewers? Or filming chickens and ducks pooping and laying eggs?"
Aunt Song became the focus of the whole audience. Pei Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "She is such a good talker. It turns out that the old ones are the wisest." His hands clapped silently under the table.
Cheng Enyue held up his phone to record this wonderful moment, and said with a smile: "This is the essence. If this happened in ancient times, an envoy would have to have the generosity of a great country!"
"Tell me, everyone, am I right?"
The villagers shouted in unison: "Yes!" The volume was like the rolling waves, instantly hitting the program team's camp on the beach, and the two directors were choked by a mouthful of water and temporarily shut down.
Pei Xu stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "As the person involved, let me tell you my demands. Why can I confidently raise my demands to the program team? There are several reasons."
Aunt Xu cheered on the sidelines and said, "All of you should listen carefully to what Dr. Pei has to say."
The teenagers in the opposite camp tried their best to hold back their laughter. They thought about the saddest thing in their current life progress bar in their minds and managed to hold it back.
"First, the project on the land is solely owned by me with a loan from your regular guest Jiang Lin." Pei Xu gestured to Jiang Lin with his hand.
Jiang Lin said calmly: "It is true that I borrowed the money in my own name. It has nothing to do with the program team."
The director whispered, "Our production team is willing to take responsibility. Jiang Lin, if you change your words, we won't have to be so passive."
Pei Zongli pointed at Director Zhou and said, "What are you and Jiang Lin whispering about? What are you trying to do? My son hasn't finished speaking yet."
"Secondly, as the exclusive owner of the project, I have the right not to authorize you to take photos of my portrait and my property. You have never asked me whether you can take photos of them. When Jiang Lin lent me money last time, he allowed several other teenagers to come and take photos. This was Jiang Lin's personal promise to your production team, not my promise to your production team."
The production crew's eyes were focused on Jiang Lin again. He stood up angrily: "Why are you looking at me? I lent money to Pei Xu in my personal name and asked several teenagers to gather in Pei Village to shoot the program. I didn't cheat you. It was your makeshift team waiting for the guests to do things for you. You never communicated with Pei Xu. Do you still want to blame me for this?"
The two directors looked away guiltily. Liu Chunling stood up and said, "Don't scold our Jiang Lin. He's such a good kid!"
Jiang Lin raised his hands and made a heart gesture to her obediently.
