Chapter 94: The Celebrity Effect

"You mean, there is a cultural person and cultural relics expert?" When Chang Jiucheng returned to the village after running business in the town, the person who called himself Ou Luochuan had already left. Li Jinming got off work half an hour late, waiting for the secretary of the "Old Nine", and when he saw him enter the compound through the window, he hurriedly greeted him and told him the news of the visitor who drove the RV today. "I heard from the villagers who went to work in the field in the morning that this man parked a big RV on the north hill when it was almost noon, and then got out of the car and walked around for a long time. Li Jinming added.

"Lao Jiu" didn't know much about cultural matters, and all he was thinking about was planting trees, so he casually asked Li Jinming: "Is this person quite famous in this cultural circle?" Li Jinming affirmed, "In his research field, he can be regarded as a somewhat authoritative figure." "Well, an authoritative expert, came to our village to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?" He wanted me to help him look up the literature of our village and see if his ancestors had lived here before the Xianfeng Dynasty. However, our village committee does not have any important historical materials, so I suggest that he go to the archives and libraries in the county or city to check them......"

Li Jinming rushed to accompany Chang Jiucheng to the secretary's office, his mouth did not stop, and he followed him into the office and continued. "Lao Jiu" listened impatiently and said, "Okay, I know." Let's wait until he goes to the county and city to check it out. He stood at the door of his office. Li Jinming sensed the meaning of the secretary's eviction, and hurriedly changed his words: "Secretary, he said that he would come to Dayangtun again, and he wanted to contribute ideas to the villagers where his ancestors lived." ”

"Oh?" Lao Jiu hesitated for a moment, then motioned for Li Jinming to come into the room and sit down, and closed and locked the office door by himself. In fact, at this hour, the other cadres of the village committee had already gone home from work, and it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop.

"He is a cultural person, what contribution can he make to us?" "Lao Jiu" poured a glass of water for himself and Li Jinming, only to find that the water in the kettle was not hot. Li Jinming didn't drink the water, but replied: "He said that if we agree, he wants to land on the surrounding barren mountains, invest some money to make some profitable livelihoods, and then teach the villagers to get some benefits." "He wants to cover the land on the mountain?" Chang Jiucheng frowned, "Did he say what exactly he was doing?" "No, he said he hadn't thought about it." Besides, although he didn't say it, after all, he hadn't determined that Dayangtun was the place where his ancestors stayed!"

Chang Jiucheng, who was thirsty, took a sip of cold water, pondered in his heart for a while, and then asked: "This person who came to our village in an RV, are you sure that he is the authoritative cultural expert?" "At first, I also suspected that he was a liar and impersonated. Ou Luochuan has never been on TV, only posts articles on the Internet, and the articles he posts do not include his photos. After he left, I used the business card he gave me to open his personal homepage, and the photo on the homepage looked the same as his Ou Luochuan, but I was afraid that the homepage itself was a trap set by scammers. Later, I remembered that he mentioned in his blog that he had attended some activities related to ancient buildings and inscriptions, so I searched for the organizers of those events against his blog, and several of them posted photos of the event site on their own websites, among which there were three group photos and two single photos marked with Ou Luochuan's name, and the Ou Luochuan in those five photos looked exactly the same as today's person, even the clothes he was wearing. ”

"Let me see. "Lao Jiu" started the computer. Li Jinming skillfully repeated the operation on his computer in the afternoon. "Lao Jiu" saw Ou Luochuan's hairstyle, beard and strange clothes in the online photos, and couldn't help but want to laugh, and thought: Maybe cultural people love to be different, especially now. He remembered the appearance of "Xiao Xiucai" when he came to the door for an interview that day. Li Jinming also showed him the business card left by Ou Luochuan. At the bottom of the front of the small rectangular business card, "Lao Jiu" saw three lines of small characters in bold - "Senior Consultant of XX Association", "Executive Director of XX Research Association", "Visiting Professor of XX College", and every time he looked at a line, he felt that the weight of this business card increased by a point.

"Jin Ming, take it. He returned his business card to Li Jinming and said, "If he calls you to make an appointment about when he will come next time, you can try to choose a day when I am here; if he doesn't say hello and comes by himself and catches up with my absence, you try to keep him for a while until I return to the village." Anyway, he came, and I wanted to meet him and find out how he intended to contribute to his ancestors' hometown. "Okay!" Li Jinming was secretly happy in his heart, he felt that if a cultural person like Ouluochuan established himself in Dayangtun, he would inevitably engage in a cultural career, and as long as the village committee cooperated with him properly, Dayangtun Village had every chance to obtain a cultural and economic harvest. The statement of the secretary of the "Lao Jiu" was an encouragement to him, but he did not understand the complicated feelings of the secretary at the moment of his statement.

Li Jinming is a person who does not vomit unpleasantly, he was very excited when he went home that night, and drank two sips of wine during the meal, and revealed to his family that the person who drove the RV today is Ou Luochuan, an expert in ancient architecture and inscription culture, and came here to find his roots and ask his ancestors. Fortunately, he didn't tell the experts that wanted to invest in the homeland of their ancestors and that the secretary of the village committee intended to negotiate with him, which was after all a business secret between the village committee, or between him and Ou Luochuan and the secretary of the "Lao Jiu", and it was naturally "not enough to be an outsider" before substantive contact. But Ou Luochuan's identity and the purpose of this trip, the secretary of "Lao Jiu" did not say that he wanted to keep it secret, and it has nothing to do with official business for the time being, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it in his opinion.

Li Jinming's family learned that a cultural research expert had come to Dayangtun to find his roots, and they found it quite novel and interesting, and they couldn't sleep for half a day after turning off the lights at night and chewing on it. The next day they got up and went out separately, and they couldn't wait to tell their acquaintances about it. In this way, the story of "cultural expert Ou Luochuan went to Dayangtun to find his roots and ask his ancestors" quickly spread in the village. Some of the boys and girls who went to the Internet café raised their mobile phones yesterday morning to take a picture of Ou Luochuan wandering on the hillside, and now they proudly posted the photo on Weibo, with a caption: "Ou Luochuan, the master of real photography, appeared on the mountain in front of my house, and he said that his ancestors were from us here!" However, this Weibo, which focuses on a blurry photo, plunges into a sea of online information between fiction and reality, and gets not only a dismal click rate, but also a reply full of doubt or ridicule.

Chang Jinzhu's family in the European-style small building received this headline "village news" near noon, and the sister-in-law thought it was very funny, while preparing lunch with Jin Xing, she smiled and said: "You said that there have never been any celebrities in our village, and this time a cultural expert came out of the sky to study ancient buildings." It's a pity that it's just that how many generations of his ancestors are here, so even if their family moved away more than a hundred years ago, he can't be completely regarded as a ...... from our village."

The sister-in-law's self-talk was all regarded as a deaf ear by Jin Xing, and she only occasionally "uh" and "ah" perfunctory sister-in-law twice. She had something on her mind - Chang Feipeng had been missing for almost a week. He didn't go home, he took the initiative to make two phone calls, and hurriedly hung up after saying something like "busy trading", she believed that he would go to his Xiaomi. That day, her husband Chang Jinzhu came home from the police station, and the family was having a reunion dinner at night, Chang Feipeng's phone rang twice in just five minutes, and she noticed how he looked when he answered the phone: cramped, nervous, like a thief, covering his muttering mouth with one hand, and quickly walking into the toilet to plug in the door. It's not like she's never seen him with such virtue......s! Jin Xing was furious at that time, but due to the inconvenience of the atmosphere at home, and after the second phone call of less than two minutes, Chang Feipeng's mobile phone never thought about it again, and Jin Xing swallowed the anger and delicious food back into his stomach. Unexpectedly, only a few days after the reunion dinner, he went to see the concubine in the name of talking about business, and he couldn't miss it!

Chang Feipeng used to raise Xiao San outside, although Jin Xing didn't know Xiao San's name, but he knew about their affairs, and Chang Feipeng even admitted it to her vaguely. At that time, Jin Xing gritted her teeth and endured it in order to maintain this family. After Chang Feipeng threw away the black yarn of the village party secretary, he apologized to her for this incident, so she wanted not to blame the past. The more Jin Xing thought about it, the more angry she became, and suddenly heard the laughter of the soldiers and his grandfather in the living room, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and she suddenly felt an urge to ask her husband to comment on it, so she put down the dishes in her hand, ignored the sister-in-law who was still chattering, and went straight out of the kitchen.

Walking to the living room, she saw Bingbing and his grandfather eating a bag of leftover American almonds, Chang Jinzhu stuffed one into Bingbing's mouth and asked, "Is it delicious?" Bingbing nodded. Chang Jinzhu patted the packaging bag: "This is a first-class product, it must be delicious." The soldier also touched one and stuffed it into his grandfather's mouth: "Grandpa, you eat it too." "Hey, good soldiers. ”

Seeing this scene, Jin Xing couldn't bear to mention her heart again. She stood there, not knowing what to say, not knowing what to do, very embarrassed.

"Mom, eat!" Soldier pulled out his little hand from the bag and reached out to his mother, holding a large almond in his hand. "Soldiers eat it, mom doesn't eat it. ”

"Golden apricot. Chang Jinzhu called calmly. "Hey, Dad...... "Think of Feipeng, right? Chang Jinzhu seemed to see through Jin Xing's thoughts. Jin Xing was shocked in her heart, and heard her father-in-law continue: "Don't worry, he is really busy with business, and I taught him to go out." Don't worry, he'll be home in a while. I assure you that this time he is indeed busy with business, and it is a business that concerns our whole family. "Ah, that's what happened...... Dad, then I'll go back to cooking first. Jin Xing felt a fever on her face, turned around and ran to the kitchen. When her father-in-law spoke just now, she didn't dare to look at his face, but felt that his tone was calm and firm, not like he was deceiving her. Really, he's really going to be busy buying and selling...... Jin Xing's heart went up and down, but she heard the soldiers behind her cheering: "Okay, dad come back soon, dad is coming back!"
