Chapter 66

At this time, Tang Jialin and Xu Long had almost reached the village where their grandma's house was.

She didn't immediately agree to Xu Long's invitation, but only said that she was willing to help them as much as she could. After all, starting a company is not a trivial matter, especially starting a company with a partner. She and Xu Long have only known each other for a week. His classmates and friends, except for visiting Tang Jialin didn't even know the two foreigners there.

Of course Xu Long also understood her thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea, "My two classmates did a great job in post-production, and one of the female classmates was also very good at filming..."

"The classmate who helps you control the drone?"

"Yes, that's her, she is very good."

"Wow, you must introduce her to me, I really want to play drones."

"Okay, next time...tomorrow, I will take her to your shop tomorrow?"

Tang Jialin smiled: "You also ask if they have time first."

"If I say find a particularly suitable partner, she must have time!"

"Don't worry, how old is she? Is she also a student?"

"I don't know how old she is, she is also a student at school, she is in the second year of graduate school, and she is about to graduate."

"What kind of graduate student?"

Xu Long thought for a while: "It seems to be related to literary writing."

"Isn't that good at writing, filming and post-production? You have a classmate like this, do you still need me?"

"It's useful!" Xu Long was a little excited, "She is indeed very powerful, but she has a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"Social fear." Xu Long looked distressed, "She is very nervous when she sees strangers, and when she goes to shoot, sometimes I need an interpreter, she will be so nervous that she stutters, and her voice is very low when talking to the subject, so she hopes that she can only Responsible for shooting and post-production, it is best not to talk to anyone."

What they did was actually a follow-up interview video, and they really needed to communicate with strangers. Tang Jialin expressed her understanding and asked, "What about the other person?"

"The other is mainly to help me with subtitles. He has been very busy writing papers recently and has no time to help me."

"Then you said that you want to set up a company together, are you three?"

Xu Long shook his head: "It's mainly me and the male classmate. The female classmate said that she can work part-time and doesn't want to be a partner."

Tang Jialin looked ahead and arrived, and said: "Okay, when you go back, you can see that they are all free, you can take them to my store, let's meet and chat--students who are socially afraid, don't you want to come?"

"I have a solution." Xu Long said confidently.

Tang Jialin smiled, turned into the village, and went outside the courtyard of her grandma's house. Grandpa had already opened the courtyard door and was waiting.

She lowered the window, said hello, drove the car in and stopped, got out of the car with Xu Long, and grandma came out. After introducing both of them, Tang Jialin asked, "My mother told you all about it when she called you." Bar?"

"Well, I said you guys are going to shoot a video." Grandma didn't quite understand, "Is there anything good to shoot in this rural area?"

"I want to make a video about what it was like when I was a kid."

Tang Jialin felt that her grandma could understand her, so she put her arms around her shoulders and explained: "Although I haven't come back these few years, I often dream about the yard of my house when I was a child, and the front and back of your house here, and the piece of soil on the slope. Little yellow flowers, little strawberries growing in the garden... I’m afraid I’ll forget it in the future, so I want to remember it now and make a video to commemorate it.”

Grandma laughed: "How old are you, how can you forget things so much? But it's good to write it down, let's shoot."

"Let's go for a walk on the slope first, look around, and decide the order before shooting." Tang Jialin tried to explain in words that her grandmother could understand.

"Go ahead, I'll make you some tea, and I'll be back for a drink later."

Speaking of tea, Tang Jialin remembered that she had brought bread and red bean cakes to her grandparents in the car, "I didn't bring much last time. My mother said you like red bean cakes, so I brought you some more."

"Oh, I can't eat much, it's just me and your grandpa."

Tang Jialin's uncle and aunt were all taking care of her cousin's children in the city, and there was no one at home.

"It's okay, it's cold now, and it won't go bad within a week. If you haven't finished eating for more than a week, you can't eat any more, or you will get sick."

After Tang Jialin gave a few instructions, she asked Xu Long to go out and go around the place where she used to play when she was a child.

The soil slopes in late autumn are bare, not even much withered weeds are left, and the leaves of the nearby groves have almost fallen. There is no scenery to speak of, but from here, you can see the whole view of the village.

The two- and three-story small buildings are clean and elegant, and the courtyards of the bungalows are old and new, simple and orderly, and some chimneys still emit green smoke.All the roads are paved with cement, smooth and clean, but no one can be seen, occasionally one or two, looking at it from such a distance, it can be seen that it is getting older.

"Now there are very few young people in the village. Unless there is a long holiday, it is rare to even see a 50-year-old." Tang Jialin said.

Xu Long: "It's so quiet here."

"It's quiet when you sleep at night. There is an idiom called Wan Lai Ju Ji, have you heard it?"

Xu Long shook his head: "What do you mean?"

"It's just that all the sounds have disappeared, and it's extremely quiet. It's like that at night in the country."

"Because there's no traffic?"

"Well, there are no cars and no one. Everyone went to bed early."

Xu Long: "I want to shoot here, can I?"

"Huh? We're going to shoot here."

"No, it's not yours, it's mine. I want to shoot here, the life of your grandparents, is that okay?"

"Then you have to ask them." Tang Jialin smiled.

It was the first time for the family to be a foreigner, her grandparents didn't dare to look at Xu Long just now, and they didn't say a word to him.

"Do you think they will agree?" Xu Long asked.

"Let's not say whether they agree or not. Let me tell you one thing first. They are old people who live in the countryside. They go to bed early and get up early. If you want to shoot their day, you have to live here."

"That's great! I just want to stay here for one night."

Tang Jialin smiled and said, "They might get up at five o'clock in the morning."

"..." Xu Long gritted his teeth, "I'll set an alarm clock, it's fine."

"Okay, let's go, go back and ask them."

As the two walked back, Tang Jialin remembered one more thing: "Grandma doesn't have WIFI at home either."

"Just one night, it's fine." Xu Long didn't know whether to persuade Tang Jialin or himself.

The countryside is small, and the two quickly returned to their grandma's yard. After entering the house, grandma poured tea for them and asked, "Does Longlong drink tea?"

Tang Jialin couldn't hold back and smiled.

Xu Long was talking nervously about the filming, and didn't care about her, so he said first, "Thank you." Then he replied, "Drinking tea."

After receiving the tea, he began to wink at Tang Jialin. Tang Jialin was a little surprised that he was embarrassed to say so, but she still said for him: "Grandma, grandpa, Xu Long likes our village very much, and he wants to take pictures of your life."

"Huh? What can we take pictures of?" Grandma was surprised.

"Just shoot your day-to-day life, what you eat, what you do, just do what you usually do, no need to do anything special."

Xu Long finally answered: "Yes, I will shoot your real life."
