Chapter 1966

Seeing that the visitors were all from the media, Village Chief Luo was naturally very polite.

After a brief exchange of greetings with Jiang Xiaomi, Village Chief Luo came to Gu Chen and the others, and greeted everyone:

"Hello, I'm Luo Bo, the village chief."

"Carrot? Pfft!" Hearing Village Chief Luo's self-report, Lu Weiwei couldn't hold back her laughter for a moment.

But when she thought that her personality was set as a sweet girl, Lu Weiwei immediately withdrew her smile, and said softly with embarrassment on her face:

"Village Chief Luo's name is quite funny, maybe it's because I'm a foodie? I think of you as a vegetable."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Many people also have this reaction when they hear my name for the first time. It's normal. It's just that my mother and father chose the name too hastily back then, so many jokes were made." Luo Bo He didn't seem to care, and quickly said:

"Actually, my name is Luobo, and 'Bo' means 'Bo' of rippling water, not the kind of radish to eat."

"Oh, I understand." After hearing Luo Bo's explanation, Lu Weiwei nodded in satisfaction, but she was still thinking about carrots.

Gu Chen, who was wearing a black and white floral shirt, hurriedly asked, "What time does this morning's event start?"

"Uh..." Looking back at the hall of the farmer's house, Village Chief Luo turned around and said, "It may take a while. At that time, we will carry those pigs and sheep around the village."

"There are also many special snacks, made on site, and you can all take pictures."

"Mr. Luo, how do you get this thing?"

Just when Luo Bo, Gu Chen and the others were introducing, a middle-aged woman was calling in the living room of the farmer's house.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right over." Luo Bo turned his head and explained to everyone: "I still have something to do here, I have to leave first, there is a supply station over there, you take your work permits, and some volunteers will give them to you." Provide some free food snacks and water."

"Thank you, then you can go to work first." Liu Jingru said.

Luo Bo nodded, and left at a faster pace.

It didn't take long for everyone to discover that the people who were originally dressed in casual clothes also began to change into traditional folk clothes.

There were adults and children, and many people gathered together. Listening to the village chief's speech, he seemed to be introducing the situation to everyone.

People in the village are very familiar with this kind of folk bonfire festival.

The activities are the same every year.

But how to brand and IP this kind of folk bonfire festival requires commercial promotion.

Therefore, today's Fuxing Village Bonfire Festival needs to add some commercial elements to the traditional performances of the villagers in order to support a seemingly good campfire festival.

Naturally, these people in the village don't need to say much, but what Village Chief Luo has to do now is to let them get acquainted with Xu Li's commercial performance team as soon as possible, and also give the program list, so that everyone will wear traditional folk costumes from now on, into the working state.

The arrangement in the morning is actually a process.

The stage was set up the night before, and the equipment and flags were basically deployed the day before.

However, the audio and lighting equipment Xu Li wanted, as well as some other important equipment, could not be transported to the site temporarily because the partner's vehicle broke down.

At this moment, Xu Li was holding the document in her hand and was communicating with Village Chief Luo.

On the other hand, many native villagers of Fuxing Village gathered together to help in various ways.

An old lady at the intersection also set up a stall at the entrance, preparing to sell some chaos to passing tourists at noon and evening.

Gu Chen and the others were not idle, but followed Wu Jun, Liu Jingru, and Jiang Xiaomi to conduct field interviews on the entire Fuxing Village.

Liu Jingru and Wu Jun are in charge of interviewing, while Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei are in charge of observing suspicious persons.

Jiang Xiaomi, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha will keep a certain distance from Gu Chen and the others, so as to convince the tourists here that they are two units.

In the morning, in fact, not many tourists came to Fuxing Village, but there were many staff.

Including some provincial media, and Internet media, as well as members of many photographers associations.

Therefore, for a while, who belongs to which unit? Everyone is not very clear.

At this moment, everyone almost inspected the entire Fuxing Village on the spot. The village here has a small population and a small area.

But there is a villager's activity square in the back row of the village. The scenery here is very good, and there are many fitness facilities.

Here, the organizers set up many interesting activity areas.

For example, the area for playing glutinous rice cakes, the area for archery, the area for swinging, and other activities with folk characteristics.

Lu Weiwei, who is a foodie, will give up her yearning for food after the field trip is over? Immediately pulled Liu Jingru to the Ciba area.

At this moment, two women in folk costumes were kneading glutinous rice cakes on one side.

In a container on the other side, a piece of glutinous rice cake has already been placed, and two middle-aged villagers are beating the glutinous rice cake back and forth with wooden hammers in order.

The media at the scene took out their camera equipment one after another, and pointed their lenses at the relevant areas.

This kind of picture is very joyful, and it looks like the people in the city have never seen the world.

Maybe everyone has seen it on TV, but not many people have seen it with their own eyes.

Seeing that a piece of glutinous rice cake has been made, the middle-aged woman in folk costume immediately came to pick up the goods with a stainless steel washbasin.

Another middle-aged woman who was kneading Ciba shouted, "Come and eat Ciba, it's free."

Hearing the middle-aged woman's speech, many media workers immediately began to gather towards the booth.

"Liu Jingru." Lu Weiwei tugged at the corner of Liu Jingru's clothes and said, "Let's go eat and have a look too."

"En." Liu Jingru nodded silently, and followed behind Lu Weiwei, while Gu Chen and Wu Jun stood in place.

Wu Jun was in charge of filming the scene, while Gu Chen pretended to be his assistant and helped Wu Jun carry some equipment and luggage.

Not long after, Lu Weiwei and Liu Jingru pushed through the crowd, still holding two pieces of glutinous rice cakes dipped in sugar, and handed them to Gu Chen and Wu Jun, saying:

"Eat it, it tastes good." Lu Weiwei stuffed one piece into Gu Chen's mouth, and asked Gu Chen curiously, "How is it?"

"The taste is not bad." Gu Chen chewed the glutinous rice cake in his mouth, feeling that the taste was just that. It wasn't very delicious, but it was also very chewy.

After Wu Jun took the glutinous rice cake from Liu Jingru, he just wanted to open his mouth to stuff it into his mouth, when he heard a quarrel coming from one side.

Everyone immediately turned around, only to find that the village head, Luo Bo, was in a corner at the moment, seeming to be arguing with someone.

Out of interest, Lu Weiwei hurriedly said, "Go and have a look."

On the other side, the village head Luo Bo has already put on folk costumes at this moment, especially the exaggerated hat, which makes the village head Luo Bo look like a mountain king in seconds.

And standing in front of him was a tall and thin young man, leaning against the corner with his hands folded on his chest, as if he would let you scold him.

The village head, Luo Bo, sighed, and said in a bad mood: "Let me tell you, today's event is more important. If you dare to mess around, see if I won't break your legs."

"Then you can give it to me." The young man seemed to have no room for negotiation.

Seeing Liu Jingru and the others standing not far away, Luo Bo looked at him and said angrily to the young man, "One last time."

After the voice fell, the village head Luo Bo directly took out his mobile phone, as if he was transferring money to someone for payment.

The young man in folk costume left the scene without looking back after receiving the transfer payment.

Seeing Liu Jingru and Gu Chen looking at him, the village head Luo Bo was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly changed his smile to the few people, walked forward and said:

"Have you eaten glutinous rice cakes? The glutinous rice cakes are delicious. We prepared a lot today. It can be said that every tourist who comes to our Fuxing Village can eat them."

"I've already eaten it, and it tastes pretty good." Liu Jingru pursed her lips, as if she was still savoring the taste just now.

"That's good." The village chief Luo Bo said with a perfunctory smirk, "We still have special wine here, and I'll ask them to bring some out for you to taste later."

"Then thank you, the village chief." Gu Chen also smiled slightly.

And Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked: "Village Chief Carrot, who was that person just now? Your son?"

"Ah?" It seemed that Lu Weiwei had also seen the scene just now, and Luo Bo looked a little embarrassed.

But when asked by the media people, it was hard for him not to say anything, so he bit the bullet and explained:

"That one just now is my nephew, alas!"

At the end, Luobo also sighed.

Gu Chen was a little puzzled, so he asked: "What's wrong, Village Chief Luo? Is there anything that needs to be resolved?"

"It's nothing?" Luo Bo waved his hand, and said helplessly, "That's right, this kid asked me for money for three days and two days, and he thought I was a cash machine."

"Using you as a cash machine?" Liu Jingru was stunned for a while, and asked curiously: "Then your nephew doesn't have parents? Shouldn't he ask his parents for money?"

"You don't know something." Hearing what Liu Jingru said, Village Chief Luo simply explained to everyone:

"His parents work outside and rarely come back once a year, and my nephew, his parents have been entrusted to me to take care of him."

"But this kid doesn't live up to it. He said he was doing business in partnership with someone in the city, but the business was a mess, and he lost all the money he earned from working part-time over the years."

After a pause, Luo Bo continued: "Oh, by the way, he didn't make much money in the past few years, and later, he went to Yunnan Province with his friends, saying that he would do business there, and asked his family for a lot of money. "

"You don't know, his parents are honest people and work outside the year, so what does the son want? What will they give?"

"My son lost his money and wanted to go to Yunnan Province to do business. He said it was very profitable to go there to cook barbecue."

"How can you not do this barbecue? Do you have to go to Yunnan Province?" Liu Jingru was also very curious when she heard it.

Luo Bo also nodded silently: "Yes, I also have problems when I hear this."

"But I have a lot of things of my own, and I didn't ask him too much. It was only after hearing his parents call that I found out that this kid went to Yunnan Province to start a barbecue business."

"Later, he may feel that it is not good to always ask his parents for money, so he called me and asked me to borrow money."

"At the beginning, I would also lend him as much as I wanted, basically to satisfy him."

"But this guy, at the beginning, I borrowed it once a month, and then I borrowed it twice a month."

"Now when I come back, I said that I lost my business in Yunnan Province and owed a whole lot of debt, so I asked if I could borrow some more?"

With a faint sigh, Luo Bo said again: "I'll ask him, tell the truth, what are you doing in Yunnan Province? Are you really doing barbecue or something?"

"As a result, when I saw this kid's eyes, I felt something was wrong, and I felt that this guy was lying."

"Isn't he in the barbecue business?" Gu Chen asked.

"Definitely not." Luo Bo retorted loudly, and said:

"This guy seems to be doing crooked ways at first glance. He has never done any business, but all of a sudden, he is doing business with friends in various ways."

"In the past two years, in addition to asking for money from the family, he also asked for money from relatives like us. He almost borrowed money from our elders several times one by one."

"I also persuaded his parents. I said, your son is obviously lying to you, but why don't you listen? Why do you keep sending him money?"

"As an elder, when he borrows money from me, I will say a few words to him so that he can take care of himself."

"And in order to get him back, I have already notified these elders, relatives, etc., but if this kid asks everyone to borrow money, he will not borrow money."

"So he came back this time because he had no money, right?" Liu Jingru asked.

"Oh!" Luo Bo sighed, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, he can't borrow money from us, so he can only come back."

"But he knows that I told everyone not to lend him money, so this kid has a bit of a temper and seems to be angry."

"I'm doing it for his own good, but he doesn't think so. When he heard that our village is going to hold a folk bonfire festival these days, hey, this kid seized the right time and came to borrow money from me again."

"What are you talking about? If you don't borrow it, he will make the folk bonfire festival in Fuxing Village full of problems..."

"What?" Lu Weiwei felt a little incredulous when she heard what Luo Bo said:

"Co-author... Is he trying to sabotage? Or is he threatening you with this?"

"It's all there. This guy didn't study very well when he was a child. He came into contact with society too early. Who knows what bastard he learned this from?"

"However, I also warned him that many leaders participated in today's event, and advised him not to do anything."

"It's fine if you don't help, but if you do something today, it will embarrass our Fuxing Village."

"At that time, the leaders at the top will be unhappy and suddenly cut off the funds for future activities, then we will lose too much."

With a heavy sigh, Luo Bo also shook his head helplessly: "So there is no other way, let's just spend money to eliminate the disaster. I just feel like this bastard, what should I do next?"

"Now that I'm back, I didn't find a job or anything. I just wandered around at home and on the street all day. I must be hanging out with his cronies again in bars."

"And he seems to have said that some friends are coming over today to watch the fun in the village. They probably also want to come here to eat and drink. They must be his gang of cronies."
