Chapter 226: Jiang Zhi
Xin Zixing glanced at Lin Miaomiao's back with some confusion and looked back at Lu Yanhe.
"Is she hostile to me?"
Lu Yanhe's head suddenly became a little big, and he hurriedly said, "There shouldn't be." ”
Lu Yanhe was really embarrassed to tell Xin Zixing what Lin Miaomiao had just said.
It's embarrassing.
When they arrived in Baichuan, someone from Jiangzhi's cultural and tourism department came to pick them up.
The other party arranged a car to pick them up directly at the airport and go to Jiangzhi.
After Lu Yanhe got in the car, he was a little sleepy, put on headphones, and prepared to sleep.
Xin Zixing saw that Lu Yanhe closed his eyes, so she lowered her voice to talk to the person who came to pick them up.
They were picked up by a department head of Jiangzhi's cultural and tourism department, in his early thirties, with two pimples on his forehead.
The other party's name is He Yunlan.
Xin Zixing talked about the city of Jiangzhi all the way.
Lu Yanhe slept in a daze for a while, woke up halfway, and didn't know how long he slept, when he heard He Yunlan say why he came to Jiangzhi.
He Yunlan is not a native of Jiangzhi, his wife is from Jiangzhi, so after graduating from university, he was admitted to Jiangzhi as a civil servant.
Because he is a college student with a high degree of education, he is very valued in this place of Jiangzhi.
This time, "City Travel" was invited to Jiangzhi for filming, which was led by He Yunlan.
Lu Yanhe looked out the car window, the sun was dazzlingly golden.
He saw a vast rice field spreading out on the side of the road, and the road was passing through the mountains and fields.
It's a vast expanse that is hard to see in the city, with large rice paddies and occasional houses dotted in between, and the smell of freedom and nature wafts under the golden sun.
At this moment, Lu Yanhe suddenly lost his mind.
Xin Zixing said: "Before we came, we looked at the information and said that Jiangzhi is a very old city, with a history of thousands of years, and there are still many ancient buildings in the city. ”
"Yes." He Yunlan smiled and nodded, "Jiangzhi people are more attached to their homeland, most of them will stay in Jiangzhi, like my wife, she must go back to her hometown, so I came with her, the people here are more enthusiastic, very simple, the neighborhood relationship is very close, and still retains the kind of emotional relationship in the past, my parents have been here several times, and they love it very much." ”
"How did the traditional activity of stepping on lanterns be passed down?" Xin Zixing said, "We searched for information on the Internet, but we didn't collect it. ”
"We don't know this very well, this activity is passed down from generation to generation, at this time of year, young men and women will gather together with lanterns, sing and dance, if they have a good impression of someone, they will offer to exchange the lanterns in their hands with each other, and if the other party also has a good impression of you, they will agree to exchange lanterns with you." He Yunlan said.
Lu Yanhe asked in surprise: "So stepping on the lantern means changing the lantern?" ”
He had always taken the meaning of this event literally, thinking that it was to step on a lantern.
He Yunlan said: "Stepping is a dialect pronunciation, and the original meaning is actually to carry a lantern, not to change, but to carry it." ”
He glanced back at Lu Yanhe and laughed, "You're awake." ”
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe was a little embarrassed, and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, "I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy." ”
"It's okay, it's hard for you to come here." He Yunlan said.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's okay, Brother He, you still came to pick us up after working hard." ”
"You guys are here to help us Jiang Zhi do publicity, you should be." He Yunlan said with a smile, "Although Jiangzhi is a relatively small city and its economy is not very developed, it retains many traditional festivals and activities, and there are also many things with local characteristics, and we always hope that more people can recognize Jiangzhi and come to Jiangzhi to play." ”
In fact, this is also the idea of many urban cultural and tourism departments - to drive local economic development through the development of tourism economy.
Lu Yanhe looked at the scenery outside and said, "It's really beautiful here." ”
He Yunlan said: "The scenery is really good, because the geographical location here is relatively remote, and the transportation is not developed, so there is no heavy industry or anything, there is no pollution, and it is mainly handicrafts and agriculture." ”
Lu Yanhe nodded thoughtfully.
Xin Zixing said: "Then is it convenient for everyone to go to Jiangzhi?" ”
"It's convenient, it's still very convenient to travel between Baichuan and Jiangzhi." "Of course, the journey is a bit long, about four hours. ”
"If only Jiangzhi could build a railway station there." Lu Yanhe said, "In this way, it will be much more convenient for everyone to come over." ”
"There's a train station." Xin Zixing said, "It's just that we came from Yuming, if we take the train, it will take about eight or nine hours, so we decided to take a plane to Baichuan to change trains, so that the time spent on the road is less, after all, the distance between Yuming and Jiangzhi is more than half of China, the span is very large, and people who are not so far away can take the train directly." ”
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized, nodded, and then, he suddenly found the camera next to him.
"Ho!" Lu Yanhe turned his head to the left in surprise, and Chen Liang was sitting on his left with a camera, shooting at him.
"Wow, why did you start shooting?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.
Chen Liang smiled.
Xin Zixing explained: "Let's shoot all the way, go back and cut the film, the more materials, the better, and all this on the road is also worth remembering." ”
"Oh."
Xin Zixing continued to ask He Yunlan: "Where are you from?" ”
"I'm from Jiang Guang, and it's not very far from here." He Yunlan said with a smile.
"Then are you settling in Jiangzhi with your wife now? How often do you go back to Jiangguang? Xin Zixing asked curiously.
"I usually go back to see my parents every two months." He Yunlan said, "In the past two years, more and more people know about Jiangzhi, and more people come to Jiangzhi to travel, and there are many things to be busy, so there is less time to go back. ”
"Is Xiaohu your son?"
"Yes." When He Yunlan talked about Xiaohu, a more gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
"How old is he?"
"Six."
Lu Yanhe was stunned, six years old? So He Yunlan, this is a father at the age of twenty-four?
-
By the time I arrived at Jiangzhi, it was already evening.
The sun sets, and the twilight is four.
Lu Yanhe and the others stayed in a single-family inn, which was newly built and had five floors high.
Lu Yanhe's room is on the third floor.
Outside the window is a low house, and beyond is the bustling street.
Most of the potted plants are placed on the low house, almost every family has a clothesline on the roof, at this point in time, many clotheslines are empty, but there are still a few that do not take away the clothes, the clothes are dried, and they are breezy in the sunset.
This scene is very similar to the scene in the anime, it is the kind of anime in the nineties of the last century, when you come to a small town, you are full of the most simple life scenes.
Lu Yanhe was pleasantly surprised to stand by the window overlooking the city.
Even though it is only three stories high, it can be seen far away.
There are no high floors, and you can see the streets and houses in the distance.
Lu Yanhe stretched his waist, took a photo, and posted it on his social media: a new chapter of "City Travel", looking forward to the surprises hidden in this city!
Many people immediately replied to him and asked him where he had gone.
Lu Yanhe didn't reply, wanting to see if anyone could recognize him.
-
Lin Miaomiao, who was meeting with friends in Baichuan, saw Lu Yanhe's dynamics and knew that Lu Yanhe had already arrived in Jiangzhi.
Lin Miaomiao asked her friend, "Have you ever been to Jiangzhi?" ”
"Haven't been, it's far away, what's wrong?" Friend asked.
Lin Miaomiao said: "I swiped it on the Internet, ask it." ”
My friend said: "You brushed up on the traditional activity of them stepping on lanterns, alas, it's really boring, it's all in this era, and this kind of activity, if you really want to like someone, just confess it directly, and send lanterns to each other, what are you doing so ambiguously." ”
Lin Miaomiao didn't know what it was to step on a lantern, so she looked puzzled and asked, "What is stepping on a lantern?" ”
Only then did my friend know that Lin Miaomiao didn't know what this was, so he explained.
Lin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, "If you like each other, give the lantern to the other party?" ”
"Hmm." My friend smiled incredulously, "Don't you think it's dirty?" I don't know why this kind of traditional activity is still kept, it's so boring. ”
Lin Miaomiao smiled noncommittally, "Oh." ”
-
In the evening, Lu Yanhe and his entourage were invited by He Yunlan to have dinner at a restaurant in Jiangzhi.
The restaurant is called "Sister Jing's Private Cuisine".
The decoration design of the store is not high-end, even a little rustic, and there are two fences at the entrance, in which various vegetables are grown.
Lu Yanhe met He Yunlan's wife Liu Yiyi and their son Xiaohu at the hotel.
He Yunlan said: "This restaurant is the most authentic and delicious Jiangzhi cuisine. ”
Chen Liang and Tian Baihe were both carrying cameras to film their group.
Lu Yanhe greeted Liu Yiyi and Xiaohu.
"Hello sister-in-law, hello Xiaohu."
Liu Yiyi looked at Lu Yanhe with sparkling eyes and said, "You are more handsome than in the photo." ”
"Thank you, thank you." Lu Yanhe shook his hand embarrassedly.
Liu Yiyi looked back at He Yunlan and said, "Husband, you take everyone in first, I have already ordered the dishes, but the wine has not been delivered yet, I'll take a look." ”
He Yunlan nodded.
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, and thought, do you want to drink tonight?
He Yunlan beckoned everyone in, took Xiaohu with one hand, and said: "The wine is the osmanthus wine made by my father-in-law himself, if you drink wine, you can try it, and if you don't drink it, we have prepared a drink." ”
It's not a public service tonight.
It was He Yunlan who was the host who received them locally and entertained them to have dinner together.
From the very beginning, the shooting was filmed.
Lu Yanhe consciously took on the role of a guest and wanted to give more reaction materials.
As he walked towards the hotel, he looked around, a little surprised, and said, "Business here is very good." ”
Almost every table was filled with people.
In fact, when they came in, there were two cameras shooting nearby, and they were also very eye-catching, and many people looked at them curiously, as if wondering what they were doing.
He Yunlan said: "We locals love to eat here, this shop has been open for many years, like my wife, from snacks to big. ”
Lu Yanhe's eyes widened in surprise, "This store has been open for so many years?" ”
"Yes."
At this time, Xiaohu suddenly turned his head and said to everyone: "I opened it before I was born!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Yanhe was the first to laugh, "That's really been a long time." ”
The hotel reserved a private room for them.
After they went in and sat down, Tian Baihe continued to shoot, and Chen Liang began to arrange a fixed camera position with the help of Xu Chao.
How to sit has also become a problem.
He Yunlan asked Xin Zixing and Lu Yanhe to take a seat, and Lu Yanhe immediately got out of the way and invited them to sit.
Under the camera, Lu Yanhe hid in the seat and hid very obviously.
He said, "I'm only nineteen years old, how can I sit on the throne." ”
He turned around and picked up Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, the two of us are the youngest to sit together." ”
Xiaohu stared at Lu Yanhe with a puzzled expression, with an expression of "I'm not the same age as you" written on his face.
In the end, Xin Zixing was invited to the upper seat, He Yunlan accompanied him, and Lu Yanhe and Xiaohu sat together.
Chen Liang asked Tian Baihe to eat first, and then came to pick him up after Tian Baihe finished eating.
Xin Zixing's assistant Xiao Mei was late at this time.
"Sorry for the delay." Xiao Mei walked in with a large bag on his back.
Xin Zixing introduced Xiao Mei and He Yunlan.
"Xiao Mei is my assistant, she came over a little earlier, and today she has been helping us step on the point and design the route." Xin Zixing explained with a smile.
Only then did He Yunlan understand why this little girl was not with the big army.
He said, "It's hard work, please sit down, and serve the food immediately." ”
Lu Yanhe greeted Xiao Mei and got to know him.
Xiao Mei has a very cool personality, and is particularly outgoing and enthusiastic: "Wow, you look really handsome!" ”
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "Not as handsome as Brother He. ”
He Yunlan is indeed good-looking, but at first glance, he usually has no maintenance and never looks backwards, his skin is a little dark and a little rough, but because of this, he has a real handsomeness, and his eyes are full of energy.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect that He Yunlan was a little thin-skinned, and his ears turned red directly.
He waved his hand and said no.
Xiaohu said matter-of-factly: "My dad is really handsome, and my mom said that my dad was the school grass of their school when he went to college." ”
He Yunlan stopped his son helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Xiaohu: "I didn't talk nonsense, my mother said that it was hard to chase my father back then." ”
Everyone in the room looked at each other for two seconds, and then burst into laughter at the same time.
He Yunlan's whole face turned red.
At this time, Liu Yiyi came in.
She held two jars of wine, and saw that everyone laughed happily, and He Yunlan blushed like a monkey's buttocks, and for some reason, she put the wine on the table, and her tone was a little bold: "What do you say so happy?" ”
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's ask Brother He directly." ”
Liu Yiyi looked at He Yunlan.
He Yunlan walked up to Liu Yiyi, kissed her on the face, and said, "It's okay, everyone is kidding, sit down." ”
And so naturally it happened.
Lu Yanhe looked at them in amazement.
Everyone sat down.
Liu Yiyi poured wine for everyone.
Several photographers shook their heads and said that they were not drinking, and they were still going to shoot.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, he was here to discover the city of Jiangzhi, how could he not drink it, he picked up the cup with both hands, put it down, and said, "Sister-in-law, I have an average amount of alcohol, just pour me a glass." ”
Liu Yiyi nodded and said, "Yan He, are you an adult?" ”
"Nineteen years old."
"Oh, so did you study a year later than usual?" Liu Yiyi asked.
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
He Yunlan immediately said: "No, they generally study a year later in the north than in the south, and the average high school junior on our side is not yet eighteen years old, and many people have not yet reached the age of eighteen after the college entrance examination." ”
"I see." Lu Yanhe understood, "Brother He, you are from Jiangguang, so you didn't turn eighteen when you went to college?" ”
"I only finished my year in college." He Yunlan said, "At that time, I was the youngest in the class. ”
"Did you go to college in the North?" Xin Zixing asked curiously.
"Yes." He Yunlan nodded.
Liu Yiyi said: "He is a top student of Zhenhua. ”
"Wow!" When Xiao Mei heard this, he looked admiring, "Then Director He is Lu Yanhe's senior." ”
Lu Yanhe also looked at He Yunlan in surprise: "Why didn't Brother He tell me before?" ”
He Yunlan smiled embarrassedly.
Liu Yiyi said: "He is always embarrassed to mention that he is Zhenhua. ”
"If I am admitted to Zhenhua, I will let everyone know that I am a student of Zhenhua." Xiao Mei said.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister-in-law, are you also Zhenhua?" ”
"I'm not, my grades are not as good as his, I graduated from Yuming University of Science and Technology." Liu Yiyi said.
"Yuming University of Science and Technology is also very powerful." Xiao Mei said, "They are all key universities. ”
Xin Zixing nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have all lived in Yuming. ”
"Hmm." Liu Yiyi said, "When we decided to come back, many people didn't understand. ”
Xin Zixing asked, "However, when I first heard that both of you graduated from Yuming University, I would also wonder why you didn't stay in Yuming." ”
He Yunlan said: "On the one hand, because we are not from the north, and on the other hand, neither of us is the kind of person who likes to live in a big city, and we feel too much pressure, so after discussing it, we decided to go back to Jiangzhi." ”
"He accommodated me." Liu Yiyi said, "If he hadn't come back with me, he would have studied computer science and stayed in Yuming, with an annual salary of one million." ”
Xiao Mei held his face with one hand and said, "I'm so envious, I also want a boyfriend like this." ”
She looked at Liu Yiyi and asked, "Sister Yiyi, how did you get Director He?" I felt like I needed to learn from it. ”
Xiao Mei said this, which made everyone cry and laugh.
Liu Yiyi also smiled.
"That's my secret and I can't tell you."
At the dinner table, it was the first time for everyone to meet, and Lu Yanhe was originally worried that he was a little restrained, but what Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that there was a Xiao Mei, who was a typical social cow, and she completely enlivened the atmosphere at the dinner table.
He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi are also very good at communicating with everyone, telling the story of the two of them falling in love, and also telling the story of their coming to Jiangzhi to live.
Lu Yanhe didn't say much, he kept listening.
The state of He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi made Lu Yanhe yearn for it - there was a sense of intimacy between the two of them who loved each other calmly.
After dinner, Xin Zixing said, "Then we will go back to the inn for a meeting, Director He, thank you for your hospitality." ”
He Yunlan nodded and said, "If you have any questions in the next two days, please contact me at any time." ”
They are not involved in the specific filming process.
This is also Xin Zixing's request.
They decided to walk straight back, take a walk to eat, and also see the night view of the city with their own eyes.
He Yunlan put his arm around Liu Yiyi's waist, and with the other hand held Xiaohu's hand, watching them leave.
Chen Liang filmed this scene.
Although Xin Zixing did not confess, Chen Liang intuitively felt that the young couple would be the focus of this episode.
The city and its people are always closely linked. No city can be separated from people.
Lu Yanhe also glanced back at them, and seeing that they were still watching them leave, Lu Yanhe waved his hand at them, "Bye, you guys should go back and rest early!" (End of chapter)
