Meng Li's eyes widened: "He is a little too skilled."
Lin Yanyan explained to him: "You don't understand. Ou Yi went to a variety show for children before and made a child cry. He said his name was Ye Lu, and taught the child that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When he grows up, he can become a fan of Ye Lu."
Shang Lu agreed: "You don't understand friendship."
Monley: “…”
He really doesn't understand.
Shang Lu glanced at Xu Ze, with some disappointment in his eyes.
What's going on? She clearly remembered that Ou Yi wanted to be friends with Xu Ze. Didn't the two of them go to play basketball together
Xu Ze: “…”
Although he seemed to have guessed what Shang Lu wanted to say, this was the first time in his life that he wanted to ignore Shang Lu.
In the silent atmosphere on Xiao Nai's side, Ye Lu over there became more and more arrogant after saying Ou Yi's name. He communicated enthusiastically with the old men and women, and even started to take the initiative.
Song Zeqian had a blank expression on his face: "No one asked you to judge me."
Song Zeqian's sunglasses are originally used to cover up his emotions, so after he became familiar with everyone in the later period, the frequency of him wearing sunglasses decreased a lot. Now he has changed to a larger pair that almost completely covers half of his face.
Or maybe Song Zeqian couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to waste everyone's time, so he took the initiative to step forward and, according to the agreement with the program crew, pretended that these people were all invited by him to film him.
[Meng Li's face is really stinky, just like Song Zeqian's in the first episode of Little Annoying]
[So now they are like the kings of the idol world who never meet each other (?)]
[Let me give you some information. This is not friendship. This is killing each other.]
Anyway, he is a wealthy businessman and can do anything with money.
Nonsense, he is not a beast.
The village chief's son took a lock and went upstairs.
[Meng Li may have just come for a simple training, but ended up being forced to become a guest on a variety show]
Then the director cue Ye Lu and asked him to first comment on how he felt about seeing everyone after not seeing them for such a long time, which was also a recognition of Song Zeqian's training results.
During the long period of recording and getting along with each other, Jiang Jing has always been very tolerant of them. In Ye Lu's heart, Jiang Jing is naturally impeccable.
No one in the living room seemed to notice this detail, and the recording of the show officially began.
Did he say something wrong again? Never mind.
Netizens came out to explain.
[It seems that the princess really wants to kill someone, hahaha]
He really didn't sign a contract for this show.
Evaluation completed.
Upon learning that a big star was coming to the village to film, and that he was going to come to his home, the village chief was a little hesitant at first. But after the program crew called him aside and discussed the price, he happily agreed.
Anyway, if we leave this village, it will only be Ouyi... oh no, Ouye's image that will be ruined.
[There is going to be a competition for the top idols on Weibo recently. The official held a preliminary voting last week. The time limit is 24 hours. Over one million netizens voted. In the end, the difference between the two of them was less than a hundred votes, completely surpassing other idols.]
Was he wrong? Never mind.
Ye Lu looked at Lin Yanyan: "Your makeup is so heavy today."
[Lin Yanyan didn’t even draw her eyebrows! Straight guy! ]
[By the way, this seems to be Meng Li’s first variety show appearance, it’s indeed a bit casual]
Ye Lu looked at Song Zeqian again: "Why are you wearing sunglasses again?"
Because she couldn't get up in the morning, she put on full makeup on the first day, but gave up on makeup on the second day and just put on lipstick to improve her complexion. Lin Yanyan: "... You want to die."
Not only did he make some money, but the people from the TV station would also be able to film it at home and show it off to others, which would make him very proud.
As he said that, he took out a bottle of sunscreen from the bag on top of the suitcase and handed it to Xu Ze: "You're welcome!"
Monley: “…”
Jiang Jing smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you."
Meng Li had no expression on his face, but he was cooperative, nodded reluctantly and introduced himself.
Finally, Ye Lu looked at Jiang Jing and smiled: "Sister Jiang Jing is still as gentle and beautiful as ever."
Director: "Please ask today's guest, Mr. Meng Li, to say hello to everyone!"
But after he agreed, he quietly pulled his son aside and whispered a few words to him.
Ye Lu looked at Xu Ze, and this time he looked at him carefully for a long time: "You have become much darker."
Ye Lu: “… ?”
[It is said that the first place in the idol competition can get super luxurious music production, and can produce with veteran masters, which is the ultimate goal of all idols’ lives]
[That makes me curious too. Let’s place our bets. Who will be the winner in the end? Ou Yi or Ye Lu! ]
Netizens could naturally see his reluctance.
Ye Lu: “?”
Then Ye Lu concluded: "You guys don't seem to have changed much. Director Song is not very good. You should ask me to guide you..."
Ye Lu paused in the middle of his words.
Wait, is there one person missing from this “you guys”
Ye Lu's eyes became confused. He looked at the people in front of him and asked, "Where is Shang Lu?"
others:"?!"
Lin Yanyan was like a child who had lost the most important thing. She was anxious in an instant: "Where's Lulu? Wasn't she still here just now?"
Everyone immediately began looking for Shanglu.
Jiang Jing and Lin Yanyan went to her room.
Ye Lu began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets: "Shang Lu, are you here?"
Netizens were speechless.
[…]
[Ye Lu, stop it. Shanglu will never hide in the refrigerator:)]
Ye Lu was very anxious to find the Shang deer because the program team gave him a special task, which was to make the Shang deer scream at over one hundred decibels.
But how come Shanglu disappeared just as the recording started? How was he supposed to complete his mission
Song Zeqian noticed the two forgotten bags of bread on the floor at the doorstep and said, "Those seem to be brought by Shang Lu. Did she just go out?"
Xu Ze said he understood, and walked to the door, asking the old people who were still watching, and softened his voice: "Excuse me, did you see a girl come out just now?"
The old people did not answer, but all looked at the "old man" among them.
“Crack—”
Shang Lu was wearing a large flowered cotton jacket that he got from somewhere, with a scarf wrapped around his head. He was half hunched over, cracking melon seeds, and slowly raised his head. He smiled at Xu Ze and put his index finger on the center of his lips to signal him to keep it a secret.
Xu Ze: “…”
Where did she get the melon seeds
[There is a sudden moment]
[Good fellow, you are worthy of being Shanglu]
Shang Lu pointed at Ye Lu who was still searching in the house, then pointed in front of himself, motioning Xu Ze to bring Ye Lu over.
Although Xu Ze didn't understand what Shang Lu wanted to do, he always listened to her, so he walked back and patted Ye Lu on the shoulder and said, "Go ask those grandmas at the door."
Ye Lu: “?”
Why should he ask
After a brief moment of confusion, he thought that Xu Ze might still not like talking to strangers, so he took on the responsibility and walked to the door. He thought he was very popular in this village, and smiled and said, "Grandmothers, have you seen..."
Before Ye Lu finished speaking, he saw an "old man" in front of him kneeling down in front of him.
Ye Lu was almost scared to death. His body reacted very quickly. He knelt on the ground with a plop and grabbed the "old man" by the shoulder: "No, no! Tell me if you need any help!"
The "old man" in front of me made a slightly strange sound: "... Young man, is it true?"
Ye Lu was filled with panic at the moment. His already low IQ was no longer able to support his thinking. He could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Really, really, if you can help me, I will!"
Help!
Why would an old man suddenly kneel down to him
Was the camera on the whole time? Could he have explained it clearly
Not to mention the competition with Ou Yi for the top spot and the collaboration with the master on stage, when the "old man" in front of him knelt down, Ye Lu even thought about how to write his statement of withdrawal from the circle after being scolded.
The "old man" lowered his head and cried, "Young man, I think your socks are really nice. Can you give them to me? I'm an old man... I haven't had a new pair of socks for many years. The New Year is coming soon, and I want your socks to have a warm winter."
Ye Lu: “… ?”
He thought it was something that might require him to lose everything or go through fire and water, but this is the result
He had never heard such a perverted... ugh, simple wish.
Before Ye Lu could react, he saw the "old man" suddenly bend down as if he was going to kowtow to him.
Ye Lu: “!!!”
Ye Lu panicked even more and immediately replied, "Sure! I'll take it off! I'll take it off now! I'll give it all to you! Don't kowtow! I'll definitely shorten my life!"
Ye Lu wanted to get up and take off the socks for the "old man" as he spoke, but perhaps because his legs were weak, he failed. So he simply sat down on the ground and pulled off his shoes with both hands. Only then did he successfully take off his socks and handed them to the "old man" in front of him, repeating: "Here you go, here you go, Happy New Year! Happy New Year to you!"
[Hahaha, when Ye Lu said the four words "Happy New Year", the funniness of this matter doubled]
[New Year's gift is socks... Hey, isn't this Christmas? ]
[So Ye Lu really hasn't realized that the old man in front of him is Shang Lu in disguise? ]
[It's obvious that he was almost terrified. It would be strange if he could find out, hahahaha]
When the "old man" in front of me stretched out his hand wearing disposable gloves to take the socks...
Um
Ye Lu reacted.
Why is this old man wearing disposable gloves? Even through the gloves, there is no wrinkle on his hands. It doesn't look like an old man's hand, does it
Ye Lu was at a loss, and at this moment the socks had left him and were directly pulled away by the "old man".
Shang Lu stood up from the ground, looked at the socks in his hand with some disdain, and walked towards the director team with them: "Mission accomplished."
That’s right, this is the task the director team gave her.
After meeting, find a way to steal the socks Ye Lu was wearing today.
On the way back just now, the director mysteriously pulled her aside to arrange the scene. Shang Lu naturally refused on the spot.
Stealing Ye Lu's socks? That sounds too perverted!
But the annoying program crew and Shang Lu have been in a love-hate relationship for ten episodes, and they know her well enough.
When Shang Lu learned that the program team would provide her with five cakes of different flavors, including a new chestnut-flavored product that she had never tasted before, Shang Lu, who had been eating white porridge and steamed buns in the countryside for a week, was still shaken.
It's okay to be a pervert once in a while.
So after some bargaining, she must get Ye Lu's socks, but there is no limit to the way she can do it.
The program crew thought: If she didn't steal, she could just rob it, or even take it off by force, which would be considered a success.
Shang Lu chose to perform and trick Ye Lu into taking off his socks and giving them to her.
Ye Lu climbed up from the ground and stood barefoot, looking at the scene in front of him in a daze.
Shang Lu held up the pair of socks and walked to the director team and asked, "Is it OK?"
The director stepped back again and again, obviously trying to avoid the socks: "Alright, Mr. Shang, your mission is accomplished! Completed!"
Ye Lu: “!”
Ye Lu was dissatisfied: "Why do you dislike my socks so much? This is a new limited edition co-branded model! I'm wearing it for the first time today!"
Shang Lu looked at him and said seriously: "I'm not targeting you. I dislike everyone's socks."
Ye Lu: “…”
Fine, he accepted it reluctantly.
"Heh." Looking at the absurd scene in front of him, Song Zeqian smiled sarcastically, then picked up the tea beside him and drank it.
“Puff—”
He spat out all the tea.
Song Zeqian looked a little embarrassed. He put the teacup away and looked directly at the culprit, Lin Yanyan: "Why did you put sugar in my cup?"
Just now, only Lin Yanyan had approached his teacup.
Lin Yanyan: “QAQ.”
How did he find out anyway
The assistant director announced: "Lin Yanyan's mission failed."
That’s right, Lin Yanyan’s task was to add sugar to Song Zeqian’s cup, but he couldn’t tell that it was her who did it.
However, this week has made Lin Yanyan's edges smoothed out by life. She no longer has the same strong desire to win as before. She just wants to perfunctorily satisfy the program crew, which doesn't matter.
Lin Yanyan directly took the bitter melon juice handed to her by the program team, drank it expressionlessly, and accepted the punishment for failing the task.
[I suddenly seemed to see Lin Yanyan's growth (bushi)]
[Princess Numbness]
Next, everyone completed the tasks assigned by the program team one after another, but most of them failed overall.
Ye Lu was calm for once and did not act in a hurry.
Because Ye Lu realized that his and Shang Lu’s mission was the only “mutual” one among them. If Shang Lu succeeded, then he must not lose!
But it is too difficult to scare the Shanglu and make it scream!
Ye Lu was in distress.
It seems that I haven't heard Shanglu scream for such a long time.
Shang Lu looked at him expressionlessly: "Put away that expression that says you want to plot against me."
Ye Lu immediately smiled and denied it, "That's not true. Don't judge people by your own standards."
Shang Lu: "... Next time don't speak your mind."
Although she knew that Ye Lu's mission was definitely aimed at her, Shang Lu did not take it too seriously. After all, she had completed her mission and successfully obtained the cake. She was in a good mood and would not deliberately guard against Ye Lu.
As for whether Ye Lu has the ability to complete the task, that is none of her business.
Because Shang Lu discovered something more worthy of attention.
In just one hour, she looked at the director team many times.
Shang Lu had never seen so many unfamiliar faces among the staff, especially when they first met at the village entrance, a photographer even dropped his camera, but he didn't care how much the lens was worth, he just picked it up and left.
Shang Lu remembered the photographer's face, but she had never seen him again. The total number of staff members was also less than when she first saw them at the entrance of the village.
The director was also different today than usual.
In the past, if she was interested in something, he would definitely ask questions if there was a hot topic. However, today, even though she looked at him so many times, he avoided her gaze and was even a little anxious to cue the following process.
The assistant director was a man who could not keep secrets, and at this moment he kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Every single person and every single thing is weird, not to mention stacked together.
Shang Lu didn't say anything, because she knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't get an answer, so she just followed the program team's procedures.
Today is the day for the village’s monthly meeting.
The village chief naturally had to preside over the meeting, and every household had to send a representative to attend.
Since they can get some free rice, the villagers are quite active in this matter.
The elderly people who were originally watching at the door almost left when they heard the horn.
Compared to the so-called big stars, they are more concerned about the rice they can take home and eat.
At this moment, besides them, only Zhang Qian and Azhi were left in the village chief's house. The village chief needed to preside over a meeting. Suddenly, a villager came to tell them that the village chief had an argument with a stranger who asked for directions on the road, so he asked his eldest son to go over quickly to check.
The man was a little embarrassed but had to leave. Before leaving, he touched his son's head and told him, "Study hard upstairs, don't disturb the uncles and aunts at work, take good care of mom and grandma, dad will be back soon, got it?"
The little boy nodded and looked quite well behaved.
After the man left, the production team turned the camera to Ah Zhi and Zhang Qian and asked directly, "Are you available for an interview? Don't be nervous, just talk to us about the village's specialties or something like that."
Shang Lu lowered his eyelashes.
Their program has not really changed its career to become a travel program, and they will not give the village free advertising without reaching a cooperative relationship.
Zhang Qian is not a talkative person. She seemed very shy when being filmed by the camera and kept waving her hands to say that she couldn't speak.
However, the program team is still trying hard to communicate with her.
At this moment, the sound of something heavy falling was heard from upstairs.
A staff member asked: "What happened? Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Zhang Qian showed a trace of panic on her face and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay."
Xiao Zhi suddenly said, "Mom, grandma didn't fall off the bed, did she?"
Jiang Jing also worriedly said: "It would be a big deal if an elderly person fell down, so we should go up and take a look."
Song Zeqian followed and said, "Let us go up with you. If anything happens, you, a woman and a child, can't do anything."
Zhang Qian quickly refused: "No, thank you so much, I'll just go and take a look, nothing will happen."
"Mom, you stay here with them, I'll go see grandma." Xiao Zhi suddenly stood up and said this.
Zhang Qian looked embarrassed.
She has always been indecisive and usually listens to her father-in-law and husband. Now she doesn't have the courage to make the decision, but she thinks what her son said makes sense, so she nodded and agreed.
Xiaozhi quickly went upstairs, but then hurried downstairs, crying and shouting, "Mom! It's bad, mom, grandma fell to the ground, there is glass on the ground, but dad locked the security door and I can't open it, grandma's body is covered with blood, blood!"
Song Zeqian immediately stood up and comforted Xiaozhi, saying, "Don't be afraid, we will send grandma to the hospital."
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to become tense all of a sudden.
Only Shang Lu was looking at Song Zeqian and Xiao Zhi. At this moment, she finally understood everything that was strange.
All the lines are connected because Xiaozhi is that line.
He and Song Zeqian reached some kind of cooperative relationship at this moment, and their middleman should be the second son of the village chief who contacted him as Song Zeqian mentioned.
Someone in the program crew also knew about this and was willing to cooperate with Song Zeqian, so the director and the assistant director were in such a strange state today, and deliberately dragged Zhang Qian here to be interviewed, so that they could ask questions when the unexpected noise was heard on the third floor.
Whether it is Xiaozhi who has been taking the initiative to bring meals to grandma recently, or going up to check on grandma's condition now, he is teaching grandma how to cooperate with them.
Even the stranger who asked for directions and had an argument with the village chief should have been arranged by them in order to lure away the labor force of this family.
After spending these days together, Shang Lu also discovered that the village chief considered himself to be an authority in the village. Because they gave him enough money, his attitude was always good and he was not wary of them.
On the contrary, his son seemed taciturn, but relatively speaking, he was much more vigilant. He added another lock before leaving. Even if they were not at home, they could not enter to see the village chief's wife on the third floor, resulting in the current stalemate.
But the turning point lies in Zhang Qian.
Xiao Zhi cried and said to Zhang Qian, "Mom, what if grandma dies? It was the same thing last time, and it almost happened... Please open the door quickly, please."
Zhang Qian never expected such a situation to happen again and her face turned pale.
She knew where the key to the house was hidden, but she didn't dare to open the door.
If she opened it, these people would see her mother-in-law.
When her husband and father-in-law came back, she knew they would be angry and she might even have her legs broken.
So Zhang Qian wanted to refuse and wanted to tell her son that she didn't have the key, and asked him to ask her husband to come home and deal with the matter. In short, it had nothing to do with her.
Shang Lu looked at Zhang Qian at this moment and said, "If an elderly person falls, being sent to the hospital one minute late may affect his life. For Xiao Zhi, he will remember for the rest of his life that he failed to save his grandmother today. He may never let go of the shadow of death and self-blame for the rest of his life."
After spending these days together, Shang Lu knew very well that to Zhang Qian, her son was her life.
These words successfully made this weak woman begin to waver.
Zhang Qian murmured: "No... No..."
Her son wants to grow up healthy and happy and have a bright future. How can he live in the shadow of death and self-blame all his life
Moreover, my father-in-law and husband didn't want my mother-in-law to die. After all, it was a human life. They were also very scared last time, and when they saw that something really happened to my mother-in-law, they still sent her to the hospital.
Right, that is it.
Zhang Qian finally made up her mind. She staggered to her feet and walked to the cupboard. She took out a pair of slippers, then took out a key from the slippers. She handed it to her son with trembling hands.
And right at this moment.
A cold but angry voice sounded at the door: "What are you doing?"
The village chief's son is back.
