Tree brother wiped clean the electronic shackles, stretched his legs to carefully appreciate once again, on their own wearing this high-tech products are very satisfied, grinning, took out a cigarette stuck in the open teeth, not point, and crutches followed Chen Chichih back.
Chen Chi-Chi jokes between a turn back, startled: “What is he following me?”
Tree brother did not answer, touched out a cigarette to Chen Chichih and staff, the other side do not want, he silently loaded back.
Chen Chi Chi habitually sip cheeks: “Not …… hometown what are you following me?”
Tree stroked his hair, “Walking.”
“……”
Chen Chichi looked at his feet deliberately rolled up his trouser leg to reveal the shackles, right leg and left hand of the plaster, and then look at him stuck in the open teeth of that cigarette, really can not organise language.
Later, when interviewed, Chen Chichi was still wiping sweat from his forehead:
“That guy gave me a fright, I thought he had something in mind for me you know? My tree brother’s eyes fluttered, his expression was confused, directly to me to dry blind, on the spot to lose the ability to speak.”
Chen Chichi led the donkey to the bamboo hut, just as Li Tiezhu came back with two mountain rats, and Nie Yao, who had been scared awake by Brother Shue, had also finished washing up.
“Why you?”
Li Tiezhu directly frowned, why did the first guest come to a non-working one?
Chen Chichu: “What’s your attitude? Tie Zhu, I sent you donkeys all the way here, you don’t thank me?”
Nie Yao joyfully took the donkey’s reins: “That’s great, there’s donkey meat to eat.”
Chen Chichi’s eyes widened, “Senior brother! Have you been poisoned by Li Tiezhu? You want to eat when you see a live one?”
“Woof woof woof ……”
The little milk dog ran out from the bamboo shed and barked furiously around Chen Chi Chi.
Chen Chichi looked at the little tyke with high and low eyebrows, “Who is this?”
Nie Yao: “It’s called Oh Kuo, Brother Shue gave us food, but we didn’t eat it.”
Chen Chichu: “Who is Brother Shue? So heartless?”
Nie Yao kept the squirming figure on the path, “Here! That one is Brother Shue.”
Chen Chichu took a look and convinced, “Then I have nothing more to say, this Brother Shue looks like a man of honour!”
Zhao Liya came out from the bamboo shed with a big bag of toiletries with her hair and face puffed up, “Oh Kuo, stop shouting, this donkey is one of our own.”
Oh Kua looked at Chen Chi Chi and started wagging his tail, and even went up to rub against his leg.
Chen Chi Chi: “Who is the donkey? Speak clearly, ya ya, ya ya?”
Zhao Liya carried her things and left, went to wash up in the director’s caravan a few hundred metres away, it was just so inconvenient, and Oh Kuang even rolled and crawled to follow her.
Not much further out, she met Shue, who stared at her fiercely, not blinking an eye. When she passed by the wrong side, Li Tie Shu also inhaled fiercely, because …… incense ah!
“Heh heh heh ……”
Shue let out an appreciative laugh.
Frightened Zhao Liya pulled her legs and ran, so much so that Oh Exempt couldn’t keep up and almost fell into the field.
When interviewed by the programme team afterwards, Zhao Liya cried and laughed:
“At that time, it was quite creepy, he just looked at you straight, but also laugh, it was very …… scalp numb. I also know that Shue is not a bad person, but it just …… breaks through the safe social distance kind of feeling ……”
Pop-up:
“Shugo is so damn dashing!”
“Walking?”
“Nothing I’m skulking around, hahaha ……”
“Brother Shue is a man of honour.”
“Chen Chi-Chi: Who’s the donkey?”
“Brother Shue wouldn’t have a crush on Zhao Liya, would he?”
“If I were Zhao Liya, I’d be scared half to death too.”
“Seriously, this season is better than last season.”
“Last season was too dry, this season we get to see the real countryside.”
“The main thing is that this season has Brother Shue.”
“It feels like my Brother Shue is one of the resident guests.”
“Brother Shue will make his debut soon!”
Over there, Li Tiezhu was introducing Nie Yao: “This donkey is called Tractor, one of the members from last season.”
Nie Yao: “Oh! I remember, Zheng Yanzi took the name.”
Chen Chichu: “I also drew something good.”
He took out various seasonings from the frame on his donkey’s back, a large bag of earth cucumbers, and a small bottle of rapeseed oil.
Nie Yao: “How did you smoke it? So much? Doesn’t each guest only get one chance to draw?”
Chen Chichu: “Hahaha …… Everyone only draws once, but I drew three more times when I won!”
Nie Yao: “Good brother!”
Li Tiezhu unloads the donkey’s frame and saddle, leads it to the shade of a tree to graze, and then returns to make breakfast.
Yesterday, Li Tiezhu turned a round chopping board with bamboo slices, now, Nie Yao was fetching water at the edge of the cliff, Li Tiezhu was making noodles on the chopping board, preparing to make hand rolled noodles.
After making noodles, Li Tiezhu first took out a bamboo bowl and poured half a bowl of chilli noodles brought by Chen Chichih, throw a few peppercorns, hot pot of oil, the oil temperature is slightly colder, poured into the bamboo bowl, a bowl of fragrant oil splash spices on the ready.
It must be said that although Chen Chichih is lazy and cheap, but every time he can send charcoal in the snow, last season he directly sent a pig, solved the whole primitive house’s meat demand for a season.
Chen Chichu sat by the bamboo hut and looked around, ”Tie Zhu, your treatment this year is slightly better than last year! Eh? How about those trees next to us can be utilised to make a tree house? I’ll live in a tree house!”
Li Tiezhu gave him a blank look, you don’t work and you still want to live in a tree house?
How smart is Chen Chi Chi?
He said, “I’ll do some work if we build a tree house, otherwise I’ll be paralysed.”
Li Tiezhu: “Good! Start getting it after dinner.”
“How long will it take? Can we stay tonight?”
“Probably hanging.”
“Wouldn’t that be a waste? I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon.”
“You can stay two more days.”
“That’s right! It’s a deal!”
On the other hand, Zhao Liya washed up in the show’s caravan, changed her clothes and tied her hair, put on a light make-up, and went back with Oh Exempt.
She suddenly realised that Shue was still waiting at that fork in the road, but she couldn’t go back around any other way.
Good thing there is a cameraman around, Zhao Liya hard to walk back.
Brother Shue lit a cigarette, his eyes closely followed Zhao Liya, until she approached, Brother Shue only flicked the ash and asked, “You put on make-up wow?”
Zhao Liya laughs awkwardly and flees at a fast pace.
Brother Shue: “Hey hey hey ……”
The village chief has received a notice from the programme team, is carrying a broom towards this side, the tree brother has a strong sense of crisis, hurry to escape on crutches, but the speed really can not lift, ultimately caught up …… defeated.
Zhao Liya returned to the bamboo shed when the noodles have been cooked, four people with a bamboo bowl sitting on a bamboo bench to eat noodles.
She palpitated and said, “Tiezhu, what’s wrong with that tree brother, right? He keeps staring at me and making strange laughing noises.”
Li Tiezhu said, “Don t be blind, although the tree brother is …… but he is very kind.”
Zhao Liya wanted to say something …… You damn well are still very kind, and as a result ……
Nie Yao saw that Chen Chi Chi was curious about Brother Shue, so he recounted Brother Shue’s great achievements to him a few days ago, and directly choked out tears from Chen Chi Chi’s laughter.
Wang Jiafang was also a non-conformist, and quickly gave the two tasks for today, building a tree house and assisting the poverty alleviation cadres in household surveys.
Everyone was very interested in the new task of poverty alleviation survey.
It was cloudy and breezy today.
Just the right weather to work.
Li Tiezhu and the others went to cut down a few small pine trees to build the skeleton of the tree house, and went to cut down some bamboo.
On the cliff next to the bamboo hut, there is a small pine forest with twenty to thirty trees that can block the wind for the bamboo hut. The four trees closest to the bamboo hut were less than ten metres away, allowing for the construction of a small tree house of about twenty square feet.
Chen Chi-Chi today, uncharacteristically, actually work did not lazy and did not complain of suffering, more serious than a donkey.
A morning time, more than two metres off the ground tree house floor is built, the top of the bamboo ride, and lay a layer of pine needles and bamboo leaves, and then lay a layer of bamboo and bamboo mats, step on it is quite comfortable.
Bamboo mats are made of thick bamboo strips, which are very rough, but they are more efficient. Sleeping is not very comfortable, but laying the floor is excellent.
Chen Chi Chi was very satisfied and said, “Hahaha …… I am really a genius! If I didn’t come, you all wouldn’t have thought of making a tree house, and you’d still be working on the whole bamboo hut.”
It’s not that he couldn’t think of it, but the tree house is much more difficult to build, and it’s not necessary in the beginning.
Li Tiezhu is also very satisfied, took the donkey to the tree house and tried, smiled and said, “Not bad! It’s just right for a donkey shed! Getting another trough for the food would be perfect.”
Chen Chichu: “……”
Nie Yao: “Hahahahahahaha …… I told you so! I told you ……”
Zhao Liya: “It’s fine, the donkey sleeps down there, brother you sleep up there, and you can still chat with it at night if you can’t sleep.”
Chen Chizhu: “I don’t care! I want to live on top tonight!”
Li Tiezhu: “Simple, the duck catcher’s hut, move one up and you can sleep on it.”
Chen Chichu: “Li Tiezhu, you cheated my feelings! Are you still a brother?”
Li Tiezhu: “No.”
Chen Chichu: “……”
Although he said that he would not repair the tree house, after a simple lunch, Li Tiezhu took Chen Chichu and the donkey to continue felling the pine wood and cutting the bamboo, and then got the tree house.
While Zhao Liya and Nie Yao went to complete the second task, assisting the poverty alleviation cadres in household surveys.
Making the tree house rewarded 3 points, and assisting in the survey rewarded 6 points.
It’s also clear from here that this season’s show has a focus.
Therefore, the programme has not avoided villagers coming round from the beginning, and even interacts with them occasionally, such as …… me tree brother.
There are more than ten poor households in Li’s village, including four extreme poor households, among which is Brother Shu.
However, today, the poverty alleviation cadre Zheng Yuan is not going to Shugo’s house, but an old woman’s house, which lives farther away, in a depression north of the mountain beam.
After nearly an hour of trekking, they arrived at the family’s home, and Nie Yao and Zhao Liya were already hot and sweaty.
But …… there was no one in the house.
The trio knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
Zhao Liya was a bit angry, “Why aren’t they home? Don’t they know they’re coming to investigate?”
Nie Yao also felt that it was a waste of time, “We came all the way over here and no one was there? How about a phone call? Cadre Zheng!”
Zheng Yuan patiently explained, “They don’t have a mobile phone, this household is two seventy year olds, their son died and their daughter-in-law ran off with someone, leaving behind only a ten year old grandson who is in primary school. Their family has no strong labour, and there is no income, all rely on farming …… now, they may be going to work in the field.”
Nie Yao: “Then how can we find them? This mountain is so big ……”
Zhao Liya: “Why don’t we come back tomorrow?”
Nie Yao nodded along.
The always amiable Zheng Yuan, however, suddenly slashed his face and his tone hardened: “Go look for someone if they’re not at home! How can you do your job if you just push it off for tomorrow and the day after when you encounter some difficulties? We’re just running errands, who are we to complain about being tired? Two old men in their seventies, carrying a family’s livelihood on their shoulders, what right do we have to ask people to squat at home and wait for us?”
