Chapter 427 Merlin Town Sixteen
Chapter 427 Merlin Town (16)
As soon as Cao Chunyuan got off the car, a group of staff members enthusiastically joined in and tried to make friends with Cao Chunyuan one by one, trying to become familiar with each other.
Cao Chunyuan was originally not interested in people from the news media, but she didn't like them even more when they rushed to her door. But everyone was about to cooperate, and she didn't want to make the situation too tense, so she put on a professional fake smile.
I'd like to be polite to everyone.
After the simple courtesy, Cao Chunyuan found the little girl who was cooperating with her in her 'performance'. The little girl was sitting alone by the roadside. Her petite figure seemed out of place with everyone.
Cao Chunyuan couldn't help but feel a sting in her heart. She walked to the little girl softly and asked softly: "Little girl, what is your name?"
The little girl looked at Cao Chunyuan very calmly. There was no joy in her eyes, nor the excitement of seeing a 'celebrity'. Her eyes were like a lifeless rag doll, cold and empty.
It was hard for Cao Chunyuan to imagine that a young girl at the age of innocence would have such a look that could see through the world.
"My name is Zhang Xiaohua, and I am a student in the first and second classes of Meilin Middle School."
Hearing the other party's cold reply, Cao Chunyuan was shocked. This was not like the behavior of a child.
Just now, she thought Zhang Xiaohua was thin and not like a junior high school student, but after communicating with him, Cao Chunyuan felt that Zhang Xiaohua was far more mature than she imagined.
This kind of hand-made flatbed cart is very common in rural areas, but it is not common to see a little girl with a height of 1.2 meters and a thin body pulling this flatbed cart filled with vegetables.
Uh(⊙o⊙)…
It was such a simple thing. After Cao Chunyuan talked with the little girl, her heart was shaken.
Inside the car, except for the sound of the engine and the bumping of the vehicle, there was no sound. It was eerily quiet.
"Are there really many families like Zhang Xiaohua's?" Cao Chunyuan's faint questioning voice suddenly came from inside the car.
She is not a person who likes to cheat. This time she just wants to build up momentum for herself, and then use the trend to speculate, so that she can invest in road construction in Wan'an District.
Cao Chunyuan completed the shooting with a very complicated emotion. After the shooting, she didn't even look at the results. She just got in her car and returned to Meilin Town.
Chen Yuhua's words interrupted Cao Chunyuan's thinking. Cao Chunyuan turned her head and looked at Chen Yuhua with a frown.
If Chen Yuhua hadn't said the last sentence, Cao Chunyuan would have felt better. When she said the last sentence, Cao Chunyuan's face changed instantly.
Zhang Xiaohua pulled a hand-made wooden flatbed truck. There were various vegetables prepared long ago on the flatbed truck, and a worn schoolbag was placed on top of the vegetables.
“Reporter Chen, didn’t you say just take a few photos before? Why do you want to take a video again this time?
Her grandmother died when she was very young, and her grandfather suffered from rheumatism and had difficulty moving.
This is the case for Zhang Xiaohua. Her parents have been away from home for several years. The last time she saw her parents, she was only in the second grade of elementary school.
"Hello Zhang Xiaohua.
For a moment, Cao Chunyuan didn't know how to answer the call. Should she praise the little girl for being sensible or ask her why she was so calm.
Just when Cao Chunyuan was hesitating whether to continue filming, Zhang Xiaohua's voice suddenly came from behind.
Chen Yuhua smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "You don't have to worry about this, our program is broadcast in the form of a documentary, which is equivalent to restoring what happened, and no one will question you.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Cao Chunyuan silently, and waited until Cao Chunyuan finished speaking before she answered.
Besides, with your status in our Chinese agricultural research circle, Mr. Cao, who dares to question you?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, I won't tell anyone about this. I have already signed a confidentiality agreement with the people at the newspaper. I understand the rules."
We're not talking about a chance encounter. How could it be such a coincidence that I bumped into a little girl and was photographed by the news media? Doesn't this tell others that it was staged?"
"Mr. Cao, you don't have to think too much, I know you have good intentions.
In fact, she is not as mature as a child.
Our filming this time is actually to promote Meilin Town and then build roads for Meilin Town. There is no other meaning."
Just feel free to take the photo, even if others know it was taken, no one can erase your contribution to Meilin Town."
Zhang Xiaohua must know Cao Chunyuan's identity. Ordinary junior high school students will at least be a little excited and happy when facing Cao Chunyuan, even if they are not like fans when they meet an idol.
"Huh~"
After this cooperation, the two became completely different and would never see each other again in the future.
At a young age, she has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the elderly. While other classmates are acting like children in their parents' arms, she has to be busy farming. When other classmates come home from school for dinner, she has to cut pig grass and collect firewood on the way home;
While other classmates went outside to play during the holidays, she had to pull a flatbed truck and sell vegetables on the street to earn living expenses.
This is Zhang Xiaohua's real life, which is so real that it's a bit scary.
Xu Lili moved her lips and wanted to say that many families in rural areas are like this. Parents go out to work and the children live with their grandparents.
She still looked at Cao Chunyuan expressionlessly, but there seemed to be a little bit of vitality in her eyes.
In addition, you need to send a scene where you meet the little girl by chance while driving, then drive her home, and finally take some photos at her home, which will be broadcast on a local program of our Wan'an Guardian."
I need to take two pictures of a little girl pulling a cart for a while and use them as news covers.
"Mr. Cao, it's ready over there, we can start shooting now.
But Zhang Xiaohua didn't, and Cao Chunyuan could feel that Zhang Xiaohua only regarded her as a dispensable passerby.
The first scene shot was not of Cao Chunyuan, but of Zhang Xiaohua.
Hearing this, Chen Yuhua looked overjoyed and quickly asked the staff to start filming.
Especially the small schoolbag placed on the flatbed truck looked extremely dazzling.
On the road, Lao Lang drove silently, Cao Chunyuan said nothing, and Xu Lili sat quietly beside Cao Chunyuan.
Such families are quite happy, but some families are even more extreme. Their parents go out to work, and the children who stay at home even have to take care of their elderly grandparents.
Cao Chunyuan took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's begin!"
Lao Lang drove the car silently, as if he didn't hear Cao Chunyuan's question.
"Mr. Cao, you have helped many people. After the villagers of Meilin Town cooperate with you in planting, their lives will become richer.
You also spent your own money to build roads for them. When the roads are repaired, more businessmen will settle in Meilin Town, and life in Meilin Town will become more prosperous."
Cao Chunyuan did not answer. She looked out the window. Outside were fields of sugar cane, and the sugar cane in the fields was growing vigorously.
Just like Zhang Xiaohua, keep improving!
Chapter completed!
