Chapter 87: The First Identity Revealed
At the village entrance, Luo Meili had just finished washing clothes and returned when Tu Yao bumped into her!
"Hey, Xiao Mao, what are you doing? Aren't we recording a show?"
"Mom Luo! Mom Luo! Look, look!"
Tu Yao simply opened the bag and stuffed it in.
Luo Meili looked down in confusion, and the next second, she immediately fastened the buttons again with a "snap".
Looking up again, she opened her mouth in shock and confusion: "...Where did you come from?"
Tu Yao smiled proudly yet guiltily: "...I earned it."
Luo Meili stared at her while holding the money, her shock and confusion gradually fading before she quickly regained her composure.
She took a deep breath: "...Come on, tell Aunt Luo, are you still thinking about growing button mushrooms?"
This time, Tu Yao, contrary to her usual behavior, didn't back down. She mustered up the courage to meet Luo Meili's gaze and nodded.
While reminiscing about what he had done in the past month, he told her, "I successfully renovated my mushroom house, tried planting several times, and even wrote a business plan. Now I have money too. Oh, and my wheat field is still empty."
"If I start building the mushroom house now, I can start sowing next spring."
"If we grow them well and they sell well, our whole village will be able to grow them!"
"...Aunt Luo, I want to plant it."
Luo Meili looked serious and remained silent for a long time.
Tu Yao didn't dare to say anything more and cautiously looked her over.
When Tu Chaoxi arrived, the two were standing face to face, his sister looking anxious and uneasy.
Tu Chaoxi sighed and pulled the person behind her. "Aunt Luo, can I talk to you?"
Ten minutes later, Luo Meili sat down in the main room with a tense expression.
What should we talk about?
Tu Chaoxi said directly, "I am Tu Xiaomao's older brother, his biological brother."
"Let me tell you, nothing I say will work, I will not agree to her..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Meili abruptly stopped mid-sentence and turned her head sharply!
"What did you say?!"
He quickly pinched Ding Yingjun next to him: "What did he say? Who is Xiao Mao to him?"
Ding Yingjun winced in pain: "Brother! He said he's Xiao Mao's brother!"
Tu Chaoxi suppressed a laugh and moved forward a bit: "I know this is a bit unbelievable, but it is true, she is my sister."
"Her name isn't Tu Xiaomao, it's Tu Yao, and she's my youngest sister."
Tu Chaoxi removed some information that couldn't be said and simply described Tu Yao's experiences over the past few years.
“I know you’ve always known why she wanted to grow button mushrooms, and I understand why you didn’t want her to. To be honest, I didn’t want to either.”
No older brother would want his younger sister, who had just come of age, to shoulder such a huge responsibility.
But there was nothing we could do.
Tu Chaoxi said with a helpless tone and a hint of jealousy, "She likes you guys. Perhaps she loves you more than we brothers who came along later. She's willing to do anything for you."
"As for your concerns about household registration and schooling, I will remember them and help her resolve them. Until then, let her do whatever she wants."
Luo Meili and her husband lowered their eyes and remained silent.
Outside, Tu Yao was pressed against the door frame, trying her best to hear, but she still couldn't hear clearly. So she wandered around the yard in frustration.
Half an hour later, with a "click," the door finally opened!
Luo Meili and Tu Chaoxi came out one after the other.
Tu Yao immediately looked up, her eyes filled with hope: "...Aunt Luo?"
Luo Meili rubbed her head vigorously and sighed:
"Write down the things you need to prepare for building the mushroom house for your father. We'll be repairing the road soon, so we can buy them together."
"Do you have blueprints for that mushroom house? If so, give them to your third aunt. You don't need to worry about the mushroom house; leave it to us."
"Once it's built, you can teach us how to plant it."
Tu Yao's eyes widened slightly: "You agreed!"
Luo Meili said irritably, "I agree!"
If you don't agree soon, your brother will wear your ears and mine down!
Tu Yao was taken aback, tilted her head, looked at Tu Chaoxi who was standing behind Luo Meili with his arms crossed, paused for two seconds, and then chuckled: "Thanks, brother!"
Seeing this, Luo Meili softened her tone: "...Xiao Mao, thank you, Luo Ma."
Luo Meili and Ding Yingjun acted quickly, setting off for the market early the next morning and bringing back a pile of cement bricks and tiles.
After Auntie San got the blueprints, she had her cousin draw several copies to map the empty wheat field. Soon, people started laying lines and driving stakes.
The director clicked his tongue in amazement: "It's not surprising that the younger sister is so devoted to Crane Village. If it were anyone else, and a young adult came along and said they wanted to build a mushroom house to grow button mushrooms, it would be no different from hearing a joke."
However, their initial disagreement was not due to a lack of trust in Tu Yao, but rather because they feared she was unable to shoulder the responsibility.
Once they agreed, they quickly took over and shared the responsibility.
Having witnessed such precious, sincere, and simple emotions in such a small village, the director felt that he would probably never forget this long yet short month.
Unfortunately, he's leaving soon.
Several guests were already packing their luggage, and several cars from the crew were also taking several staff members in batches. Cheng Sangsang was full of fighting spirit and was also preparing to set off for the film crew with her manuscript.
The director was not used to the atmosphere of the show ending for the first time.
Meanwhile, Tu Chaoxi was on the phone with Nan Ke.
"Yes, I'll stay a few more days, and I'll bring her to see you in a couple of days."
Tu Yao popped up from behind: "Second Brother!"
Tu Chaoxi ruffled her hair and gave up her seat.
Upon seeing his look, Tu Yao immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Second Brother, you're so cool!"
On the other end of the camera, Nan Ke couldn't help but laugh.
He is trying on clothes in the fitting room.
Cormier has extremely severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, striving for perfection on stage, and has prepared hundreds of outfits alone.
Nan Ke was already quite tired from trying, but after being praised by the little fool, he visibly perked up.
"I heard from my brother that the mushroom houses are already under construction and they can start planting next spring. Congratulations."
Tu Yao blinked: "Second brother also deserves credit."
Nan Ke was puzzled, "...What credit did I get?"
Tu Yao leaned closer with a smile: "Of course! My second brother helped me make ventilation shafts, he helped me burn wheat straw, he even helped me remove splinters, and he also..."
"Alright, alright!"
Nan Ke's ears instantly turned red, and he quickly interrupted. He might be crazy when he's in a rage, but now that he's back to normal, he's still a little shy.
Although the silly sister probably didn't mean anything by teasing him, he couldn't stand it just listening to it; these things were almost like his dark history.
Tu Yao suppressed a laugh and simply said "Oh".
"Mr. Nan Ke, let's try this one again."
An assistant then brought over a few more dresses.
Tu Yao stepped back, preparing to turn off the video, but just as she was about to hang up!
[Progress bar announcement: -1]
[Progress bar announcement: -1]
...
Tu Yao was taken aback.
She subconsciously glanced at Tu Chaoxi, who was talking to a staff member. When she saw her looking over, Tu Chaoxi smiled casually.
Tu Yao's head suddenly went blank. It wasn't her older brother, it was...
The next second, she decisively and instinctively shouted:
"Second brother, watch out!"
Just as Nan Ke was about to take the clothes from the other side, he heard this sound and his mind jolted, so he subconsciously dodged back.
In an instant, a loud "bang!" rang out!
A life-sized glass mirror shattered on the ground!
The screen went black instantly, followed by a muffled groan from the other end that was not to be ignored!
"Nan Ke!"
"Nan Ke!"
Screams erupted from the other end of the screen!
