"Yeah, my granddaughter really likes watching the show you host."
After seeing that it was an 'acquaintance', the old man was even happier and said quickly: "Come on, come on, let's go to my house and have a drink."
As for Shen Ting standing next to Li Lei, he didn't know her at all and didn't know how to greet her, so he simply pretended not to see her.
"No need to trouble you, uncle. I'm still recording the show." Li Lei pointed to the photographer who was filming behind him.
Then he pointed at Shen Ting and said, "This is my friend Shen Ting. She saw that your vegetable garden is growing very well, so she asked to see the vegetables."
"Oh, hello, hello." The old man immediately greeted with a smile.
"Hello, uncle." Shen Ting's father was younger than the old man, so she didn't follow Li Lei in calling him 'uncle'.
Then, the two sides chatted for a while.
Not long after, Li Lei pointed to a pile of healthy water spinach and said, "Uncle, your water spinach is really good. There aren't even any worm holes. How did you do that?"
"No, there are so many bugs." The "bugs" he used means to eat.
He then explained, "These vegetables are for my family's own consumption. We didn't use any pesticides. There were some insects, and I killed some with traditional methods."
"It's really good." Li Lei complimented from the bottom of his heart.
Before coming, he received a WeChat message from Gu Mo.
Gu Mo asked him to try to buy vegetables that have not been sprayed with pesticides.
But he was too embarrassed to ask directly, so he could only test it in a tactful way.
"Uncle, I'm having dinner with friends later and we're short on vegetables. Could you share some with us?"
Li Lei did not say "buy", but used the word "evenly" instead.
Just like in antique transactions, both parties don't mention "buying and selling," but instead use "appreciation and appreciation." Isn't it tiring to beat around the bush like this? It simply speaks to the profoundness of Chinese culture.
“I can’t eat all of them even if I pick them randomly.
My son lives in the city, and I can't get used to it, so I grow some vegetables in my hometown in the countryside to pass the time.
Pick whatever you want yourself."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Li Lei didn't bring a bag of vegetables, so he said, "I'll go home and get you some bags of vegetables. You can pick them first."
Without giving Li Lei a chance to refuse, he trotted away.
Judging from his vigorous steps, he doesn't look like an old man at all.
"Brother Lei, shall we pick some vegetables?"
"Pick it."
There are many kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden that are ripe and ready for picking, including cucumbers, green beans, water spinach, green onions, amaranth, eggplant, bok choy, tomatoes, etc.
Li Lei assigned a task to Shen Ting: "Go pick a few cucumbers. We'll need them for the salad. Pick some eggplants and tomatoes too."
"OK."
Li Lei went to pick water spinach.
He didn't pull it out by the roots, but broke it off directly from the tender stem.
Doing this is like cutting leeks, so they can continue to grow and be picked many times.
"Brother Lei, these green beans look great, should we pick some too?"
Upon hearing this, Li Lei seemed to be stimulated by something and shouted, "Don't pick it, I'm allergic to it."
Many years ago, when Li Lei was participating in a lifestyle variety show, he ate half-cooked green beans and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and had to go to the hospital.
"Ah, I remember now. You and Brother Zhi, two unlucky guys, ate undercooked green beans. You were both admitted to the hospital, and it even became a hot topic at the time." Seeing Li Lei's reaction, Shen Ting suddenly remembered this incident.
But as soon as she said it, she felt that she had said the wrong thing.
This kind of behavior of "sprinkling salt" in people's faces is offensive!
But for some reason, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"Laugh if you want to. Anyway, my dark history with Xie Zhi is often brought up as a joke."
"Haha." Shen Ting immediately thought of the scene where Xie Zhi told Li Lei, "These beans are amazing."
At the same time, green beans are also known as the delicious "one bean kills two people".
The two main hosts of Mango TV were almost killed.
Not long after, the old man came over with two large red plastic bags: "I found these two large bags at home."
Then he pointed at the vegetables in the garden and said, "Pick as many as you want. If you don't have enough, I'll borrow two more bags from my neighbors."
"Uncle, that's enough, we can't eat too much."
A big red bag is more than enough to hold all the vegetables you need.
After all, this dinner is not a purely vegetarian one.
The main course is meat.
After picking the vegetables, Li Lei took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the old man who grew the vegetables.
"Uncle, this little money is for you to buy some nutritional supplements."
"Hey, if you do this, I'll be angry." The old man's face immediately frowned when he saw Li Lei taking the money.
"Take the money back, I don't need it.
I have my own pension, my son opened a shop in the city, and my granddaughter is also filial.
Besides, vegetables are not expensive in the countryside.”
Li Lei couldn't persuade the old man and ended up not taking the money.
After delivering the vegetables back to Huanwu, he and Shen Ting drove to the small supermarket at the entrance of the village.
I bought a box of Zhenniu pure milk and a barrel of rapeseed oil.
Li Lei also carried a camera and bought a pack of locally produced Baisha cigarettes, which was worth far more than the pile of vegetables.
"Take it back." After the things were delivered to the door, the old man had a better impression of Li Lei and the others.
After pushing and pulling the things back and forth, the old man finally accepted the things.
Because Li Lei used his trump card: "Uncle, these things are a little gift from us, the younger generation.
If you don’t accept them, we will send the dishes back immediately.”
Li Lei's high emotional intelligence was analyzed and appreciated frame by frame by the crowd in the livestream. Chen Ting's performance was average throughout, but she provided a laugh when she mentioned Li Lei's scandal, "Four Beans."
…
Liu Bowen, the conspicuous bag, broke down in the process of purchasing things.
"Brother, I call you brother, please help me." He grabbed a young passerby and asked for help.
Seeing the boy's indifference, he continued to complain: "Brother, I really don't know where to buy charcoal. I've been looking for a barbecue grill for a long time and can't find it at all."
"I can help you, but can you get Brother Mo's autograph for me?"
When Liu Bowen heard that this person wanted Gu Mo's signature, he was overwhelmed: "My signature is not enough?"
"You can't."
Liu Bowen hates it most when people say he's no good: "I debuted earlier than Gu Mo, so my autograph is more valuable."
"You don't want to shower? And you're still horny?"
Liu Bowen gave up immediately: "Alright, you're already hard of hearing at such a young age, go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, I'll take you there right now." The boy felt very happy after teasing Liu Bowen.
He stopped pretending to be stupid, agreed with a smile, and helped Liu Bowen buy everything he needed.
"Thank you, brother." Liu Bowen only uses people to move forward, not backward.
The "brother" he was talking about was immediately devalued to "brother".
"You're welcome, no way bro."
"wipe!"
The boy ran away laughing.
He also complained loudly to the camera: "Liu Bowen, you are no good. You are very enthusiastic before hiring people, but ruthless after using them. Guests like you are destined to be unpopular."
