Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

After distributing photo albums to the children and playing for a while, Liu Wangxue said she wanted to go to the village committee to find Wang Junpeng.

Shen Nian'an took out his mobile phone and called Gu Qingyue to ask her if Wang Junpeng was there. Gu Qingyue said, "Yes, he was just saying that he would go to look for Xuxu in a while."

As soon as Wang Junpeng heard that Liu Wangxue was at Shen Nian'an's house, he came over directly. It wasn't far away anyway, and he also happened to be looking for Aunt Changxiu for something.

Jinghe took all the children and the three little ones to the yard to play, and left the adults in the living room to talk about things.

Wang Junpeng came to Liu Wangxue, of course, for publicity. The village has registered an official WB account and video account to cooperate with the drama party in publicity. It is said to be cooperation, but in fact it is the crew, director and several actors who are pulling them together. In addition to forwarding the relevant materials released by the crew, the official account of the village committee will also post a video shot by Wang Junpeng himself. He completed the production of the video by himself. Because he is the only young cadre in the village committee, he is responsible for all these things, but it is also his first time to operate, and everything is still in the process of exploration.

This week, it has received some attention, but it hasn't made much of a splash. This is normal. Wang Junpeng knows that he can't rush it. He came to Liu Wangxue just to discuss it with her and see if she has any other suggestions.

This time it really came true, and everyone mentioned Shen Nian'an's half-joking suggestion and continued the conversation.

The rape flowers haven't bloomed yet, so it's impossible to shoot a promotional video for cultural tourism. Wang Junpeng flipped through his phone and found the one he shot last year in the cloud drive. However, the pixel of the phone he used last year was not good enough, so the video was not very high-definition and the camera was not very stable.

Liu Wangxue is now quite skilled at video editing. After watching it, he said, "Let's edit it together. It should be usable. Let's send it out first to warm it up. When the rape flowers in the village bloom, we can shoot it again."

Wang Junpeng added Liu Wangxue as a friend on the cloud disk and shared all the videos with her.

Xu Qingsong remembered something and asked Du Yunkai: "I remember Zhengyu has a friend who uses drones for aerial photography?"

Du Yunkai thought about it and said, "It seems so. I'll ask." Then he sent a message to Yan Zhengyu.

Liu Wangxue gave Xu Qingsong a thumbs up: "Good idea!"

Xu Qingsong also raised his thumb and touched hers: "Only aerial photography can capture the momentum."

However, Wang Junpeng was considering another point. He was worried about the money: "Is aerial photography very expensive?" The publicity funds approved by the village committee were not much. He had to go to Yaya's house later. If her family agreed, they would have to give the child some "endorsement fees". He was afraid of overspending.

Du Yunkai sent the message, and Yan Zhengyu replied immediately: [Yes, it's Bian Yan. He just replaced the new equipment a few days ago, and I went to see it. Brother, do you want to use it? Then I'll tell him and ask him to come over.]

Du Yunkai said to Wang Junpeng while typing: "Don't worry about this, it's just a personal hobby, I'm just doing it for fun. If you take the time to come here, just consider it as helping out."

Wang Junpeng was embarrassed: "This is too troublesome..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Yunkai's phone rang. It was Yan Zhengyu calling. He read the explanation Du Yunkai had just sent and said with an excitement that was hard to conceal: "What a coincidence. I'm with Mingyuan and the others. We were just talking about when we could find time to go to Taojia Village to play..."

Yan Zhengyu was broadcasting publicly, so Shu Mingyuan, Hao Wei, and Shao Bin all came over to talk. Last year, Du Yunkai opened a branch of his studio in Taojia Village, and the four of them wanted to come and see it, but they never found the time. Now that the drama "Moon Over Spring Stream" was being promoted, they were also paying attention. It just so happened that they had nothing to do in the few days after the first month of the lunar year, so they discussed coming together to spend a few days.

"Sure, no problem," Du Yunkai said. It just so happened that the rape flowers were also in bloom at that time, so they all gathered together. "Let me know when you've made arrangements, and I'll pick you up then."

Yan Zhengyu assured: "Don't worry, brother. I will definitely call Bian Yan as well. What's the point of him tinkering around all day? Why not come out and do something meaningful and contribute to the rural construction of our country!"

"I didn't expect you to be so aware." Du Yunkai teased him. After hanging up the phone, he said to everyone, "It's done."

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong high-fived.

Shen Nian'an poured tea into everyone's cups and said, "It looks like it will be very lively then. If it's the weekend and I have nothing to do, I'll bring Youyou and Jinghe back to join in the fun."

"That's great," Du Yunkai said, "Chacha also said she wants to come and play when the time comes."

Wang Junpeng rubbed his knees, feeling happy but a little embarrassed, and said to everyone: "How about this, Qingsong, Mr. Du, when your friends come, I will treat you all to a meal to thank you for your help." He will pay for it out of his own pocket.

After discussing the matter, Wang Junpeng did not stay for long. He had other things to do, so he left first. Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Wangxue and the others also stood up and planned to go back.

Shen Nian'an called them again and talked about the dinner together. He was thinking about it when he came back. When Jinghe and Youyou went to Liu Wangxue's house that day, he told Liu Wangxue in advance. Originally, it was planned to be after the Spring Festival, but everyone was busy and couldn't get together. Liu Wangxue went out for a few days because of work and only came back yesterday. Seeing that February is coming to an end, school will start in a few days, and their family will have to go back to Beijing. If they don't get together, they really won't have time.

The three people present must be free at the moment. Tao Huayu is not at home now and is expected to come back in the afternoon. So Shen Nian'an sent a message in the fraud group.

Tao Huayu replied immediately, saying that it was no problem, and that he had been at home for the past three days since he came back. Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi also replied quickly that they would not come over, as the business in Xindian was very busy recently and they could not leave. Lan Xiaoxi was about to be five months pregnant, and she had a hard time carrying this baby. Yue Cheng watched her closely every day, and even when he went out, he would not go to crowded places, for fear that she would have an accident. Li Yu must have come over, as he was working part-time in the studio now, so he should not be too close.

Now that the personnel have been decided, it would be better to arrange it for tomorrow night instead of tomorrow night.

Liu Wangxue said to Shen Nian'an: "Why don't we go to my house?"

Her family now has enough space. When they built the small building, they also expanded the yard. The living room of the small building is also large, with a flat roof, and it is connected to Xu Qingsong's place, so it is not a problem to accommodate so many people. She kept all the barbecue utensils she used before.

"Please invite uncle and aunt to come along as well," Liu Wangxue continued, and then joked, "My aunt, uncle-in-law, and uncle and aunt are all here, so it's just right to set up two parties at once."

Xu Qingsong laughed when he heard this: "Divided by age, right? Then we have to form three groups."

"Yeah, that's right," Du Yunkai agreed, "Just three age groups."

Shen Nian'an also smiled and said, "Okay!"

After returning to the courtyard and having lunch, everyone took a nap.

When Liu Wangxue woke up, she found that Jinghe and Youyou were already playing with the three little ones in the yard with Chacha. Xiaotao, Haohao and the others had also come. There were adults watching downstairs, so she didn't go downstairs. She sent a message to Xu Qingsong and stayed in her room to write the script.

Her efficiency this afternoon was not very high. She always felt that the writing was not going smoothly and she kept deleting and revising. Moreover, this was a painful point, so she was not in a good mood while writing.

When there was a knock on the door, she had just finished writing the story and was finishing it. It was already the last paragraph. She really didn't want to get up. Without even taking her hands off the keyboard, she turned around and shouted to the bedroom door, "It's not locked."

Xu Qingsong pushed the door open and came to her side. She typed the last word, added a period, leaned back in her chair, and sighed.

Xu Qingsong touched her face and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"

Liu Wangxue tiptoed on the ground, turned around with the chair and hugged him: "Hold me for a while."

Xu Qingsong stood there and let her hug him, and also massaged her shoulders and neck.

"Time flies so fast, it's already night." Liu Wangxue said. The light in the room had become a little dim, but she hadn't noticed and didn't turn on the lights.

"Yes," Xu Qingsong pressed her head again, "Are you hungry? Let's go out for dinner?"

The lunch was simple, Liu Nanshan cooked shredded pork noodles, using dried noodles. Liu Wangxue felt sleepy, so she ate half a bowl and went to sleep. In the afternoon, she wrote the script, and no one came to disturb her. Xu Qingsong brought her a bag of snacks after she woke up, and then Gu Xuelan brought her some fruit. She ate the fruit, but the snacks were still intact on the corner of the table.

"Hmm?" Liu Wangxue looked up, "Didn't uncle say we should go out for dinner?"

Because they had agreed last night to go to Wutong Avenue to visit the night market and then go to the park to see the lanterns, Gu Xuehui suggested not cooking dinner at home but eating in town. There must be all kinds of snacks at the night market, so they could just stroll around and buy something to eat.

Xu Qingsong bent down and kissed her: "Let's just go out to eat. It's almost time now. It's easier to find a place to park the electric bike if you go early. Otherwise, there will be too many people and it will be difficult to park the bike."

"Okay, let's go!" Liu Wangxue stood up and pulled Xu Qingsong to go out. Xu Qingsong pulled her back again: "Wait a minute, turn off the computer."

The two of them went downstairs. The children playing in the yard had already gone home. Xu Qingsong said, "I heard Xiao Tao and Hao Hao say that they also want to go to the town to see the lanterns. It seems that they want to compare theirs with those of the other girls. When You You heard that they were all going, she wanted to go too. She went home with Jing He to find Brother Shen. Maybe we can run into them there."

Liu Wangxue and his friends didn't have enough electric bikes, and they were short of two, so they went to Tao Huayu's and Tao Qinglei's homes to borrow one each.

No one from Tao Qinglei's family went to see the Lantern Festival. Tao Qinglei was going to Beijing to take the third test of Communication University of China. This kid was very focused and said that even though it was the last two days, he had to review well. His parents and his brother went with him, but his brother was live streaming while his parents were checking the luggage they were going to bring, especially Tao Qinglei's certificates and works. They checked them over and over again, fearing that something was missing.

The third test will be on the day after tomorrow, the 29th. They bought high-speed rail tickets for tomorrow morning - air tickets are quite expensive now, and there are no regular trains from Xi City to Jing City, so they had to choose the high-speed rail - leaving in the morning and arriving in the afternoon, and leaving the day after tomorrow free to go to school to get familiar with the environment.

As for Tao Huayu, his parents didn't want to go because there were too many people, and Tao Huaxin was inconvenient, so Qiu Xiangrong stayed at home to accompany her, and Tao Huayu rode his bike and went with Liu Wangxue and the others.

It was just getting dark when they arrived in the town, not too early but not too late either, so they found a spot in the parking space next to Wutong Avenue and parked their electric bike.

The night market was run quite well, with all kinds of food, entertainment and daily necessities for sale. There were quite a lot of people coming, and the wide road was already crowded with pedestrians.

Liu Wangxue held Xiaoci, Xu Qingsong held Pengpeng, and Guagua was still in his pocket. Du Yunkai also picked up Chacha and walked in with Tao Huayu and several elders.

After walking for a short distance, several elders looked at the snack stalls, but didn't find anything they wanted to eat, so they decided to go back and have dinner at the restaurant they had just passed.

Unlike Liu Wangxue and the others, they had already bought several things in their hands, so everyone went their separate ways. If they could meet in the middle, they would meet again. If not, they would wait until they had finished shopping and then come back to the entrance of Wutong Avenue to meet.

Today, Du Yunkai was an uncle who would absolutely grant any request. Cha Cha had never seen many of the snacks before, and he wanted to try any of them that looked new. So Du Yunkai would buy whatever he pointed to.

They walked in and soon they were carrying a lot of things. Finally they stopped at a bean curd stall because there was a vacant seat when they arrived. Four adults and a child just filled up the small table.

Xiaoci was still nestled in Liu Wangxue's arms, Pengpeng was squatting obediently at Xu Qingsong's feet. He took Guagua out of his pocket and said he wanted to let it get some fresh air. Before coming, the three little ones had already been fed, so there was no need to worry about their problems.

After they sat down, they ordered four more bowls of tofu pudding. Du Yunkai and Cha Cha drank one bowl. Most of the things on the table were bought by Du Yunkai for Cha Cha. He liked some of them after tasting them, but didn't like some of them. Besides, the children couldn't eat much, so the rest all went into the stomachs of the four adults.

They didn't sit there for long after they finished eating because there were some customers waiting for a table nearby who wanted to sit down and eat. Before leaving, they collected their own garbage and threw it into a trash can not far away.

Walking further ahead, they could just stroll and play along the way. Du Yunkai would take Cha Cha to try out all the small games on some of the stalls. Liu Wangxue also became childish and played several rounds with them.

During the period, I also met Jin Zhaofei, Richard, Li Yu and several other colleagues from the studio. After asking, I found out that they borrowed an electric tricycle from a fellow villager through Tao Jiahong. However, it was borrowed, but none of them knew how to drive it. In the end, Jiahong's father drove them here and came to pick them up when the show was about to end.

When they walked to the end of the night market, they ran into Shen Nian'an's family. He was holding Youyou and throwing a ring into the fence, trying to catch the cat piggy bank. Jinghe had a handful of plastic rings in his hand. Every time Youyou threw one, he handed her another. Gu Qingyue was encouraging her youngest son and shouting "Come on!"

When everyone met and said hello, Youyou didn't throw away the ring in her hand. She handed it to Chacha and asked, "Chacha, do you want to play? I want to trap a cat, but it's so difficult. I can't trap it at all."

Cha Cha looked at the colorful plastic rings scattered in the fence. There were adults and children around who were throwing them in continuously, but almost none of them could be caught.

Cha Cha was still held by Du Yunkai, so she took the ring from Youyou's hand and tried to throw it into the cat piggy bank, but missed.

Little Pomelo sighed: "It's so difficult——"

Cha Cha whispered to Du Yunkai: "Uncle, the cat is too far away, and the circle is so small." It would be difficult to catch the cat in this case.

Xiao Youzi wanted to give up, so he said to Jinghe: "Brother, try again. Try again."

They had been standing in the ring-tossing arena for a long time. Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue had also tried it. Jing He had thrown almost all the rings in the last round, but they didn't hit the target. Jing He didn't have much hope this time, so he moved his steps, changed the angle, and threw the remaining plastic rings in his hand towards the cat piggy bank one after another. The last one actually hit the target.

Youyou and Chacha cheered at the same time, and the adults also applauded and congratulated them.

Youyou leaned forward to hug Jinghe: "Brother, you are so great!"

Jinghe was also very happy and caught the little pomelo: "This is called good luck."

Youyou clapped her hands: "Brother is awesome!"

The boss took out the cat piggy bank and handed it to Shen Nian'an, who then handed it to Xiao Youzi, who held it in his arms cherishingly.

Cha Cha was itching to try it out, so Du Yunkai bought him a bunch of rings and let him use them as he pleased.

Liu Wangxue also got into the mood and bought a bunch of them, and shared them with Xu Qingsong and Tao Huayu. Tao Huayu wanted to challenge the difficulty and try to get the ones that looked more expensive, but he threw all the ones and didn't get any, so he didn't want to give up, so he also bought a bunch and shared them with everyone, and kept some for himself.

The stall was almost half surrounded by this group of people in no time. Those items that looked more expensive were definitely not easy to get, so in the end everyone picked some small items nearby so they didn't go home empty-handed.

Next to the ring-tossing stall is the side entrance of the park. After everyone had a great time, they walked into the park together to enjoy the lanterns.

There are various kinds of lanterns hung along the road in the park, and many people come to play. A lantern corridor has also been specially built. The flashing colored lights and lanterns of various styles are hung together in an orderly manner, creating a sense of complementarity. Many people take pictures here, and there are also some girls and boys dressed in Hanfu.

Du Yunkai, holding Cha Cha, had already gone with Shen Nian'an's family to find a place to take photos, with Tao Huayu acting as their photographer.

"The ancients were right. Beauty is best seen under the light. This kind of light is really good for photos." Liu Wangxue said, feeling a little eager to try, but also regretful. She said to Xu Qingsong, "I should have changed my clothes. I haven't worn the Hanfu Xixi gave me many times."

Xu Qingsong said, "Let's go back and change now, and then come back to shoot. We'll have enough time."

Liu Wangxue thought about it and shook her head: "No, no, I still have to put on makeup and do my hair, which takes a lot of time."

Xu Qingsong took Pengpeng and Guagua by the hand and walked inside with her in his arms: "Then take pictures like this. You'll look good no matter how you take them."

Liu Wangxue held Xiaoci in her arms, looked up at him and asked, "Really?"

Xu Qingsong felt that he had been bewitched by her smile since he came to this lantern corridor. He couldn't help but bend down and kiss her, and didn't forget to brag: "I have taken pictures of you so many times, and you still don't believe in my skills. I guarantee that no matter what angle, it will not detract from your beauty."

Not far away, Gu Xuelan, Gu Xuemei and Yuan Lianyun were also walking this way. After they finished their meal, they went their separate ways from the three men. They had already strolled around the park and wanted to take some photos here. As a result, when they got closer, they looked up and saw Xu Qingsong lowering his head to kiss Liu Wangxue.

Yuan Lianyun praised: "Looking at it this way, they are really a good match. When I saw Qingsong for the first time at the airport that day, I felt that his aura was very compatible with our Xuxu's."

Gu Xuemei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're right, I feel the same way." She then said to Gu Xuelan, "Sister, I don't think they are so affectionate when they are at home. It feels like they are in the honeymoon period when they are outside."

"That's enough," Gu Xuelan glanced at her, and the three of them didn't go to the lantern corridor anymore. Instead, they turned and walked somewhere else. "It's because the elders are here. When you were dating Song Ningwei, you behaved very well in front of your parents."

"Sister, please don't mention him on such a great day. It's just spoiling the fun!" Gu Xuemei was unhappy.

Yuan Lianyun wanted to advise her, "Xuemei, you've already lived through this half of your life, so don't worry about it. If you're angry, Song Ningwei won't be able to tell unless you're really angry. You're just being hard on yourself."

"Sister-in-law, I know, but I just can't help it." Gu Xuemei said, "I regret it every time I think about it now. I should have divorced him at the beginning, so that I could live a quieter life." (End of this chapter)
