That night, during the interview with the programme team, the staff asked Li Tiezhu:
“In fact, you are just here to record a variety show, now you are helping the poor and the elderly to see a doctor, will you be too tired? Will you worry that the audience will find it boring?”
Li Tiezhu shook his head, “No, no, no, we just came to record the programme to give a hand along the way, without our help, things like poverty alleviation, demolition, medical care and so on will all be completed. The reason why we chose to intervene in these matters in the village is because we revere these people who are doing facts at the grassroots level, and we hope to learn more from them, and by the way, tell the world about what they are doing, so that more people will know what they are doing. It is a great honour for us to be involved in whatever way we can! I believe we are witnessing the birth of a miracle!”
The staff member added, “Internationally, and even within our own country, there are many different voices regarding the poverty alleviation and free healthcare programmes. What do you think?”
Li Tiezhu said, “I may not be as smart or as educated as they are, but I am happy to see that my hometown is changing for the better, and I am even happier to see that the old people in my hometown can get free medical treatment. I heard the poverty alleviation cadres say one thing, they are already doing work to prevent poverty due to illness and return to poverty due to illness, at this point I think I have a say, my father is multi-talented, once in the village our family was considered wealthy, until my mother got sick …… So, whether others believe that this cause will be successful or not, at least I believe it. They have 10,000 reasons to say that this cause can not be successful, but our party and our country, has never been so unreasonable, say yes, no can do. We have proved this with countless miracles! Therefore, I have no doubt that one day there will be no poverty in China.”
Pop-up screen:
“Convinced!”
“There has never been a miracle that the Chinese people couldn’t accomplish.”
“Awesome my country.”
“Tears!”
“What kind of goods are those who oppose poverty alleviation, we all know in our hearts.”
“The first rich bring the second rich, now the first rich are not willing to bring chant.”
“Li Tiezhu has also done a lot for his hometown, he is very rich yet he still can’t help his hometown get out of poverty, this shows how strong the national power is.”
“Crooked people must not be able to figure out why we can succeed.”
When the programme was aired, foreign fans were indeed confused.
“Why? Why is their country doing this?”
“Using the power of the state to intervene in poverty, such a practice goes against the competitive mechanism of a market economy, right?”
“I can understand them building high speed trains and airports, I can understand them building up the strongest fleet in the East, I can understand them having an exclusive space station, but I can’t understand why they’re spending so much money and resources to help the poor. Those beautiful white houses make me feel uncomfortable, but I don’t know why I’m uncomfortable ……”
“Because it’s China and everything you think is impossible is possible.”
“It’s hard to believe that this is a country that doesn’t even have free speech …… Sometimes I can’t tell which is the real China.”
“Upstairs mate, this is the same country that you say doesn’t have free speech, that writes a bloody truth in their textbooks – the state is a tool to rule the people. And, they force all young people to learn such a profound theory, with a very complete theoretical and factual basis inside the book. In the West, such education is only enjoyed by a few elites because they don’t want the ruled to know the truth, whereas China forces this truth to be told to every Chinese citizen. Now, do you still believe that there is no freedom of speech in this great nation?”
“Is it true? If so, that’s cool!”
“People in my party never hide their opinions, either from their enemies or from the people.”
“Regarding helping the poor become rich, this is actually a promise that the ruling party of China made to the citizens of China seventy to eighty years ago, and now they are finally in a position to honour their promise. They themselves feel that this is a natural thing to do, but why are we sceptical? It’s pathetic because our political party never honours its promises.”
“Karma! Nearly a century’s worth of promises remembered? And put it into practice ……”
“You guys focus on the moral aspect of things, while as an economics major, I am pessimistic to see the emergence of a giant. When the hundreds of millions of poor people in China get out of extreme poverty, when they have the power to consume, the West will no longer be important to China, their domestic demand will be able to top all the population of the West, and the huge market will breed powerful capital and technology. At that time, there is no way we can threaten them ……”
In the programme, several guests fell asleep, Chen Chichi put on an eye mask and plugged his nostrils to sleep on the tree house, because …… he wanted to try to see if Shue’s advice was reliable.
“Vomit ……”
The next day dawn, Chen Chi Chi squatted in the pergola dry heaving, blocking the nose can not isolate the smell of donkey urine, tree brother is not reliable ah!
So, what is the point of repairing this tree house?
At this time, Wang Jiafang came over: “Wake up? You’ve been very active in this programme, surprisingly you didn’t stay in bed.”
Chen Chichu: “I …… have always been so diligent.”
Wang Jiafang believed in his brother’s ghost, glanced at the donkeys, and said, “They’re not up yet, the guests of the new issue have arrived, you go and pick them up?”
Chen Chi-Chi continued to dry-heave, “I’m not going, who’s so dignified? Let me go pick up?”
Wang Zhengyu: “Deer Hani and Deng Chao.”
Chen Chi Chi’s smile gradually perverted: “Hehehehehe …… This tree house wasn’t repaired in vain! Laozi go to meet them, a few days ago asked them to come together, one said busy, now why come? Old Deng Tou, Xiao Deer, I prepared a surprise for you!”
There was no fog today, Deng Chao and Deer Hani urged the staff to drive them over very early in the morning.
At the entrance of the village committee, Deng Chao looked at a group of primary school students running past with their schoolbags on their backs and said, “This feels so good! Hello? Little handsome boy, do you know me?”
The kid dashed by, “Don’t know your mum, I know your dad!”
Dengchao: “……”
Deer Hani: “Hahahahahahahahaha …… Dad! Are you okay?”
Deng Chao laughed bitterly: “It’s really worthy of being Li Tiezhu’s hometown, that what …… people are outstanding ……”
Deer Ha Ni said, “Chao, do you think if Brother Chi Chi knows that the two of us specifically waited for him to leave before coming, will it explode?”
Deng Chao: “I like to see him explode, ha! Isn’t it silly? The first and second phase of the primitive people are the most bitter, they come to help repair the house and do hard labour, the third phase is basically the beginning of the scale, they have food and drink, how cool is it?”
Deer Hani: “Makes sense!”
“Moreover, that Chen Chichu never works and eats a lot! If we come with him, then won’t we have to work more and eat less?”
“Right, right, right …… But, we’re all brothers, would it be a bit too much for you to talk about Brother Chi-Chi like that?”
“What are you afraid of? He should have left last night, we avoided him perfectly, hehehehehe ……”
Snap!
The cameraman who disliked the face shot suddenly slapped Deng Chao.
Deng Chao was confused.
Deerhani: “What, what’s going on?”
Deng Chao: “Why did you hit me? Is there a mosquito?”
Slap!
Another slap was received.
Deng Chao frowned and walked towards the cameraman wearing a duck-tongued hat, “You big shot! Chen Chi Chi, didn’t you leave yesterday? Why are you still here? Don’t run! Xiao Lu, chase! Beat him to death……”
Chen Chichichi ran wildly with the machine on his shoulder: “Hahahahahahaha ……”
In the end, Chen Chichichi was caught up and dragged by Dengchao and Ruhani into the bud field by the side of the road. ……
Along the way, Chen Chichih has been recounting the legend of Brother Shue with laughter.
Coincidentally, Brother Shue, wearing red underwear, on the roof of the house, turning the satellite pot cover, Chen Chichih greeted him:
“Eh? Brother Shue! Gude touching the spirit!”
Brother Shue: “Touching the spirit! Tomorrow we’ll have wine and drink with you again.”
Chen Chichi said to the two men, “See? Even Brother Shue gives me face. Do you know what this means? It means I belong to the VIPs in Li Jia Village!”
Deer Hani: “What kind of wine will we have tomorrow?”
Chen Chichu: “How would I know.”
When the three people came to the sunbathing field with a cheeky smile, Chen Chichu led them to the lucky draw, which was the standard for the guests of “Oh Exempt Primitive”, each guest had one chance to draw a prize.
Deer Hani rubbed his hands together and asked Chen Chichi, “What did you draw?”
Chen Chichu sneered, “Don’t compare yourself to me, brother is a legend! I drew …… three more times!”
Deng Chao: “Really? You can draw such a small probability even if you’re so bad?”
In the programme’s big carousel, in the draw three times is only as wide as a fingernail cap, the chance of winning is very small.
Chen Chi Chi: “Go home and watch the programme yourself, too lazy to talk to you.”
Deer Hani first draw, drew two pounds of beef.
“How about hahahahaha ……? Just tell me how is my hand luck?”
Deer Ha Ni laughed out loud.
Rao Chen Chi Chi couldn’t refute it, this one was indeed hard.
It was Deng Chao’s turn, a little nervous, he took a deep breath and turned the dial …… two taels of dried seaweed.
“What the hell? Just one piece?”
“One piece is two taels.”
“Really fake?”
“Really.”
Thus, Deng Chao took a piece of seaweed, and Deer Hani carried two pounds of beef, and walked towards the Primitive House, and when they arrived, Li Tiezhu was carrying a still hopping hare in his hand, and his traps finally kicked in.
The four brothers of “Hahahahaha” got together in “Oh Exempt Primitive Man” and disliked each other as soon as they met.
Chen Chichichi recklessly taunts Deng Chao: “Two taels of dried seaweed, hahaha …… so that’s why ah, this person looks ugly hand luck is not good.”
Li Tiezhu: “Two taels of dried seaweed, soaked and sprouted with water is enough for about two catties, it’s considered a big dish!”
Chen Chi Chi: “…… so much?”
Deng Chao got happy and started dancing, “How, how lonely is invincibility ……”
At this time, a barefoot villager around fifty years old ran over with a happy face.
“Little master, little master ……”
Li Tiezhu tied the rabbit leg and said, “Jang? Lao Jiu.”
The villagers laughed: “My old man is gone, we discussed a few brothers, or ask you to do the seat, Tai Gong in Shudu to enjoy the blessings of the village did not get a seat, all rely on you!”
Li Tiezhu scratched his head: “I’ll ask the director to see if it’s allowed.”
The villagers began to give Li Tiezhu Deng Chao and other people to send cigarettes: “Surely allow it! Tomorrow start to do, do two days.”
After that, Lao Jiu ran away, he had to go to inform more people.
Chen Chi Chi asked: “What is the situation?”
Li Tiezhu said: “Lao Jiu, his father died, asked me to go to the banquet.”
Chen Chi Chi: “His father died, how …… so happy?”
Li Tiezhu: “Happy mourning! The old man, no, my old nephew should be more than ninety this year, this is certainly a happy mourning.”
