Immense changes had occurred in the past ten years. The population of the village increased, and the standard of living of the villagers also increased by quite a bit.

Only Xu Zhu and her family were still the same. It was only after Qu Shufen married into the family that the situation started to improve.

Not only had the old house been renovated, a new house had also been built. Then came cattle and poultry.

Qiu Hai had been honest since he was young and didn't have much ability. Outside the house, people were all pointing their fingers at Qu Shufen.

There was not much to worry about at home. However, the mental pressure had caused her to age quite a bit.

Seeing that her grandma had deliberately come out to protect her, the green bamboo couldn't help but feel excited. Recalling the words of those bad children, he couldn't help but feel wronged.

She did not feel wronged or sad for herself, but for her mother.

Green Bamboo had always believed that Mother was not a bad person. But she knew nothing about the past, and she could not prove it.

In fact, she wanted to take her grandmother aside and ask her all about her mother. Then, loudly refute those who speak nonsense. Tell them that their mother had her own difficulties, and that she was definitely not a bad person.

However, when he thought of his grandma's increasingly weak body, as well as the sadness and despair that appeared in the old man's eyes every time she brought up this matter, Qingzhu tightly pursed her lips, and once again swallowed her doubts.

His mother's matter had always been the biggest pain in the family. Even if she asked again, she might not get an answer.

No matter what the truth was, it was equivalent to ruthlessly digging out the healed wounds and poking them again. This would definitely make the old man sad.

Grandma was too old to bear the excitement. Forget it, let's just let it go for now!

He could use other methods to slowly understand it later on.

The green bamboo had already made up its mind. It stretched out its delicate hands and lightly tugged at the corner of Xu Zhu's clothes, indicating that it was fine.

The atmosphere at home was tense enough. Green Bamboo did not want this fiancée to quarrel again because of her.

Xu Zhu patted the girl's head, telling her not to worry.

Looking at the two of them, one loving and the other "warm", Qu Shufen coldly laughed.

"Isn't it just two dollars?" Heh, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice is. How much money does the sea get back from working outside? "If I hadn't been so busy in the morning and the night, selling some dowry and making up for the family, this house would have been long gone."

"After you married into the Qiu Family, you did do a lot for the Qiu Family. However, this time, the two dollars that were lost were not for you selling your dowry for it, but rather for the green bamboo that helped others earn money from doing odd jobs for half a day. "

Xu Yingdao looked at his daughter-in-law and retorted, "That's right."

Qu Shufen opened her mouth, wanting to say something to go back, but she couldn't find the right words.

"Xu'er, Qiu Hai's family, you're here!" At that moment, someone pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

When Qu Shufen turned around, she saw that it was the Village Chief's wife, Li Qianyun.

This woman had a pair of thin lips. She was naturally able to speak and was quite popular in Stone Village. She was the village chief's good wife and support.

As the saying goes, the family cannot be made public. After the guests had entered, Xu Zhu did not argue with her daughter-in-law anymore.

She leaned on her walking stick as she straightened up and greeted the other party.

"Yo, Qiuyun, you're here."

Qu Shufen immediately put on a beaming expression, and her tone of voice heated up as she went into the room:

"Uhm … Sister-in-law, come in and take a seat!"

Green Bamboo knelt at the side and lowered his head, not saying a word. Since her aunt had not spoken, she did not dare to stand up on her own accord, much less call for help.

Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Qianyun looked down and saw the green bamboo on its knees. She immediately understood what was going on.

This child had most likely angered her aunt again.

It was inconvenient for an outsider to talk too much when a family member was punishing a child. She pretended not to notice and waved her hand.

"No, I'll just say a few words and then I'll leave. I'll have to go to someone else's house later! By the way, where's your family's Qiu Hai? You didn't leave your home? "

"Ah, he went out."

"Then I'll tell you guys!" Li Qiuyun cleared her throat and unhurriedly said, "There's this matter. Today, several people from the television station came to the village and said that they want to film a television in our village."

Shooting a television show? Upon hearing this, Green Bamboo couldn't help but raise his head.

Every Sunday night, all the kids in the village would go next door to Granny's house and watch the show in front of a black-and-white TV.

Thus, when they were close, she and her cousin almost always arrived at the first wave. That was the happiest and most anticipated moment of the bamboo.

She had always wanted to know how those brilliant fighting scenes, those great heroes flying in the air, were shot.

Ever since he was born, the green bamboo had always been in this poor mountain valley. He had never been into a city before, much less had the chance to see these things.

It would be great if he could see the filming process with his own eyes and broaden his horizons.

Not only did this news arouse the interest of Qing Zhu, but even Qu Shufen's eyes began to glow with excitement as she listened to it.

She ran her fingers through her hair, tucked it behind her ear, and asked happily:

"Are you filming TV? That actress? If you have the time, help me ask around and see if I fall for it. In terms of size and looks, I'm not bad. I might even become a big star in the future! "

In fact, Qu Shufen looked pretty good, but after the marriage, she had gotten fatter and had a baby, so her figure was a bit out of shape.

Before marriage, when she was a girl, she was thinner than she is now, and was known as "a flower in Stone Village."

At that time, she had a dream of becoming an actress. Unfortunately, after going into the city to interview the film crew a few times, they were eliminated.

This matter had become the greatest regret in Qu Shufen's heart.

Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Xu Zhu rolled her eyes, her eyes filled with contempt.

He thought to himself, I really don't know how much weight I have.

He also didn't look in the mirror. If he could marry a man like Hai Yang, he would be hiding in the bed and laughing. He actually wanted to fly up the branch and become a phoenix, what big star. What a daydream! It was so funny!

Li Qiuyun shook her head and explained:

"This time, it's not a TV show. I think it's called …" A reality show or something. It is said that some of the children from the city have come to stay with us for a few days. Let them experience the rural living environment. Anyway, I haven't heard about the need for extras yet.

The director of the program said he wanted to find a few rooms for the children. It won't be long, at most two or three days. Actually, he didn't need to prepare anything. At most, they would only clean up a room and add a pair of chopsticks to the meal. Whatever they eat at home, they will eat with them.

At that time, there would be television cameramen who would follow the recording every day. So I came over to ask. Would your family be willing to entertain a child? "

"So it's like that!" The dream of being a celebrity was shattered, and Qu Shufen's face fell in disappointment. He originally thought that he could satisfy the female lead, but in the end, not even the extras could stand a chance.

She paused for a moment and continued:

"Then will you give me money? It wouldn't be for nothing to say that it would be so lively, would it? It was easy to make room, but it was a little difficult to eat and drink. You are the one who knows the most about our family. My boss is just a little carpenter, he doesn't have any oil and water at all. If someone were to suddenly appear in the family, the cost would not be enough! "
