EFB Chapter 62 Tourism has brought me to the countryside?
Chapter 62 Tourism has brought me to the countryside?
A meaningful smile appeared on He Ling's lips.
Earlier, when Dong Qing arrived at the airport, she called He Ling and said that Li Shen had completed two classical-style poems.
She loves these two poems very much, and she will recite them to the public on the stage of the "Chinese Poetry Competition" to encourage modern people who love classical poetry to try their hand at creating classical poems.
When He Ling wanted to see Li Shen complete the ancient poems, Dong Qing kept it a secret, saying that this was a highlight of the first episode of "Chinese Poetry Competition" and could not be revealed in advance.
Tonight, the first episode of "Chinese Poetry Competition" aired on Beijing TV, and this secret should now be revealed.
When a few lines of poetry appeared in the comments, He Ling knew that Sister Qing had made a remote effort.
He Ling then pulled out a piece of paper from the envelope:
"This is a passage written by Li Shen, only three short sentences. I don't know if it should be considered a sentence or a poem. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Teacher Jia."
Do not dwell on old friends and the past; instead, let us brew new tea with newly kindled fire. Enjoy poetry and wine while we are young.
Jia Qianqian thought carefully: "That doesn't count."
Evil Gardenia raised an eyebrow: "Teacher Jia, with your aesthetic sense as China's foremost female poet, do you really think these three sentences are at a high school level?"
Jia Qianqian asked in confusion, "No, isn't that right?"
He Ling shook her head: "I don't know. What do netizens think? Please look at the big screen!"
On the big screen, the screen was still filled with mockery, and occasionally a few poetic comments would appear:
Spring is not yet over, the breeze is gentle and the willows sway!
[Ascend to the top of the Chaoran Terrace and behold, half a moat overflowing with spring water, a city ablaze with blossoms!]
[One hour ago, Dong Qing read all of Li Shen's poems on the "Chinese Poetry Competition"!]
[Only the lines from the poem that best capture Li Shen's feelings are selected from his diary! The full version is featured in the "Chinese Poetry Competition"]
[Sister, this time, the high school student really doesn't dare to take the blame for you.]
[I really envy you, big sister, for having such a great dad!]
[You becoming an associate professor in the Faculty of Arts? This world must be crazy!]
……
The observers were all excited when they saw the screen filled with comments.
In particular, when a netizen patiently typed two extremely long bullet comments, sending two ancient-style poems in their entirety onto the screen, everyone in the observation room fell silent, their eyes fixed on the two bullet comments as they slowly scrolled across the screen.
"A fine poem," was the celebrity observer's first impression.
As for what's good about it, and how good it is, to be honest, most of them don't know either.
They don't know if high school students can write it, but these college students clearly can't.
Li Xueqin: "Teacher Jia, what do you think of the complete version of the poem posted by netizens?"
Jia Qianqian squinted at the screen: "I can't see clearly."
Zhou Shen asked, "How nearsighted is Teacher Jia?"
"Around 300."
"Similar to me, I have glasses here." Zhou Shen took off his glasses, walked over with small steps, and politely presented them to Jia Qianqian with both hands.
Jia Qianqian nodded and smiled gently.
It seems that in this superficial world, cultured people are respected wherever they go.
The moment she put on her glasses, she heard Zhou Shen say again, "Teacher Jia, don't pay attention to the negative comments and bullet screens. I'm covered in negative comments too. Just focus on the poems in the bullet screens and the people who support you."
Jia Qianqian adjusted her glasses and looked closely at the screen.
But...where are her supporters?
Why can't she see it?
She did see several lines of poetry scrolling across the screen, along with the words "Chinese Poetry Competition" and "Dong Qing's Strong Recommendation" in the comments...
She ripped off her glasses, covered her forehead, and lowered her head.
"What's wrong, Teacher Jia?"
"The prescription is too high, I'm dizzy."
He Ling, seeing that things were going well, changed the subject: "Regarding Tian Xiwei's speech and Li Shen's 'To the Kapok,' does anyone else have anything to say?"
Li Xueqin pointed her finger at the words, "I want to thank him... for weathering the storm together!!"
When she saw the two exclamation marks, she remembered the contents of Tian Xiwei's diary from last time, so Li Xueqin checked each word and found that, including punctuation, it was still 66 words.
Recently, they discovered that Tian Xiwei's diary entries have a unique characteristic: if the number of words exceeds 66, it doesn't matter; the number of words is what it should be, and she doesn't deliberately try to make it auspicious.
However, if the word count is less than 66, Tian Xiwei will add a few extra punctuation marks at the end to make it 66, which is her lucky number. This is one of her little quirks.
Li Xueqin: "Teacher He, this line of text—"
"Shut up! Xueqin, don't shatter other people's little bit of luck. I'm superstitious too."
"Okay, okay, Teacher He, I've made another discovery regarding these texts."
"What's wrong?"
Li Xueqin frowned: "Why do I feel that the writing on the back isn't as good as Li Shen's, and the writing on the front isn't as bad as Xiao Tian's?"
"Nonsense, this isn't the original manuscript."
"what?"
"Such precious personal items, we only deserve to see replicas."
Amidst laughter, He Ling raised her speech and continued, "I would call it the most beautiful promise between lovers. So, Li Shen, returning after six years, isn't this oak tree a triumphant return?"
Bullet comments:
[The King Returns!]
[The King Returns!]
[The King Returns!]
……
Jia Qianqian suddenly said, "I've discovered a logical flaw! Since Li Shen fulfilled his wish and made a triumphant return, why didn't he go and embrace Tian Xiwei, but instead insisted on breaking up?"
He Ling's eyes lit up: "Great question!"
Just as everyone was pondering, Fu Shou'er curled her lip and said, "Sigh, playing hard to get, just another old man's trick!"
Everyone looked at Fu Shou'er.
Yang Li: "Ha, men!"
Everyone then looked at Yang Li.
……
The next day.
After a night of fermentation, the popularity of "Chinese Poetry Competition" soared. In the program, Dong Qing's heartfelt recitation of several of Li Shen's works was also edited into various clips by bloggers and began to be exposed on short video platforms.
"To the Kapok" is a hit!
"The Mistake" has also become a hit!
Last night, Li Shen's name was added to the "Poets" subcategory of the famous official Chinese app, "Huaxia Talent Pool".
This is official recognition.
In this fast-paced modern life where poetry is considered dead, Li Shen has carved out a unique cultural path.
Although this cultural track is relatively narrow and niche, it has a very strong fan base.
As a poet, Li Shen gained 6 followers overnight, 90% of whom were female.
hotel.
Zhang Ruonan lowered her head and walked towards the hall. After following the [Huaxia Talent Pool - Poet (Li Shen)] account, she raised her head and walked towards the crowd in the afternoon sunlight.
Good afternoon, everyone.
All the guests have already packed their luggage and are ready to depart for their new travel destination.
Zhang Ruonan said, "Next, the tour guide duties for the next tourist destination will be handled by Yangzi/Huang Shengyi. Before we depart, I would like to inform everyone that our new segment, the 'Our Wonderful Time' performance show, will begin after this trip."
So, please prepare your wonderful performances for the next few days. The audience will be waiting with bated breath...
When Li Shen saw Li Hangliang looking at him, he waved his hand to indicate his refusal.
There's no need to waste songs from past lives on a dating reality show.
Li Shen then looked at Tian Xiwei, wondering which poem would be better to write for her.
Tian Xiwei is in a good mood today.
She was wearing a denim overall dress and was sitting on a suitcase, revealing half of her fair and smooth calves.
She listened intently to Zhang Ruonan's speech, her two little feet dangling in the air, swinging back and forth unconsciously, looking extremely relaxed.
A little bit silly, a little bit cute.
Seeing this, Merlin also plopped down on his suitcase.
His thick body pressed down on it!
Creak~
Everyone quickly looked at the Merlin suitcase, only to see that it was deformed! Deformed!!
Mai Lin jumped down immediately, her face flushed, and said to Li Hangliang, "I told you you should buy a designer suitcase! Those cheap ones that cost a few hundred yuan aren't sturdy at all!!!"
Everyone: "..."
Yoko: "Haha, let's go!"
The group, pulling their luggage, followed behind Yoko.
"Yang-ge, where are we going on vacation?"
"You'll find out when you get there; it's a secret."
Yoko's destination was very mysterious this time, so mysterious that even Huang Shengyi didn't know.
When the official car arrived at the train station, Yoko handed out the train tickets to everyone, and only then did everyone realize what had happened.
Destination: Beijing!
Li Hangliang: "Yang-ge, this time the destination is Beijing. Are you really going to help Xiaotian fulfill her travel wish?"
A few days ago, Tian Xiwei's travel destination was Beijing, but she gave up her original plan in order to save Li Hangliang money for guitars.
Yoko: "Um...it's a secret."
Tian Xiwei, pulling her luggage, looked at Yangzi with great surprise.
Li Shen nudged Tian Xiwei: "Calm down first. Yang Ge's actions are always abstract, and now that he's in charge of tourism, anything can happen."
Yoko laughed: "What you're saying? All my abstract ideas, like Fukako's, are about serving the people!"
Li Shen was puzzled. Did he still remember the tired trope of successors to socialism?
Li Hangliang asked in confusion, "If you're going to Beijing, why not fly there?"
"I plan to save the money and donate it to the Yanran Angel Foundation in the name of our 'Goodbye Lovers' guest group."
Everyone was stunned. This hype, you old bastard, you've managed to ride it!
Liang Song frowned, looking at the ticket: "It's a K-train? Not even a high-speed train? A high-speed train only takes 8 hours, but a K-train would take more than 30 hours!"
Yoko: "The K-car is cheap, only 251. Thank you all for your hard work for the greater good and for public welfare."
Liang Song hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Yoko looked at him: "What are you trying to say?"
Liang Song: "No problem, I'll cooperate fully!"
It's been elevated to the level of universal love and public welfare; who would dare to speak recklessly now!
Saying the wrong thing can basically mean saying goodbye to the entertainment industry.
The train departed from the capital and slowly made its way to the city of Beijing across the vast territory of China.
The journey, which lasted more than 30 hours, left the guests feeling extremely uncomfortable.
At night, when she was resting, Huang Shengyi lay on the table, unable to fall asleep.
She sat up and nudged Yoko awake: "Seriously, are you crazy?"
"Huh? What do you know? Love knows no bounds! Go to sleep!"
Yoko lay on the table, supporting her aching back.
After sitting for 10 hours straight, my 50-year-old back is basically giving out.
Now, he has fewer and fewer opportunities to be in the public eye, so he cherishes this opportunity to be a tour guide all the more.
Taking the train to save money for charity is one of the points he uses for self-promotion. Another advantage of taking the train is that it allows him to extend his time as a tour guide, and unlike airplanes where he can't do live broadcasts, he can do so by train.
Yoko's plan was brilliant. But her back really couldn't take it anymore.
After more than 30 hours of continuous travel, the guests were resentful but had to force a smile.
As they approached the capital, they finally saw hope.
The train's announcement reads: "Dear passengers, we have arrived at Baoding Station..."
Yoko suddenly stood up: "We've arrived at our stop, get off!"
"what?"
"Aren't we going to the capital?"
Yoko gazed out the window at the night sky: "Welcome everyone to the place where my dream began."
Li Shentian and Xiwei looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Shen: "What did I say? Let's go, our nightmare has begun."
Li Hangliang whispered to Li Shen, "Yangzi's family business is in Baoding. His live-streaming team and his winery, it seems, are all in Baoding."
Li Shen understood; the ultimate live-streaming e-commerce platform had arrived.
Everyone boarded a minibus and set off under the cover of night.
We initially thought the bus would drive into Baoding city, but to everyone's surprise, it drove further and further into the countryside, eventually stopping in a desolate village.
Everyone got off the bus and stared dumbfounded at the pitch-black countryside.
What's going on, bro?
"This is where the dream of the giant group took off. The courtyard you see now is where our family started from scratch."
If we trace the history of the rigging used in China's aircraft carriers, this courtyard is the starting point for everything that followed.
Liang Song said, "Brother, let's talk about Qidian tomorrow. Where are we staying tonight?"
Yoko checked the time; it was already 11 p.m.: "This village is basically in the process of being demolished. Most of the villagers have moved away. I got the house keys of a few relatives in advance, and I will settle you in one by one."
Yoko led the guests through the village, settling each group of guests in turn.
He finally led Li Shen/Tian Xiwei to a rather dilapidated courtyard and gave them repeated instructions before leaving.
"Shinko, don't go to sleep yet, don't go to sleep before 1 a.m."
Watching Yoko's departing figure, Tian Xiwei wondered, "What's he going to do?"
Li Shen shook his head: "How would I know?"
Li Shen pulled open the large iron gate in the courtyard wall; the doorknob was covered in rust.
In the courtyard stood a three-room brick house, the windows of which were all broken.
Tian Xiwei walked into the tile-roofed house, which was practically bare, as it was undergoing demolition and all the furniture had been moved away.
Tian Xiwei opened the bedroom door, and dust billowed up.
However, she was quite excited. Having been pampered since childhood, she rarely went to the countryside, and everything in front of her was very new to her.
She even spent a long time studying the outdoor hand pump.
Yoko's only act of kindness was leaving a blanket in the dilapidated house beforehand.
Li Shen unfolded the quilt and lay down on the earthen bed. He put his hands behind his head and looked through the broken window at Tian Xiwei, who was playing with water pumps in the yard. He felt quite content.
Tian Xiwei found the hand pump well amazing; you could just press the handle and the water would come out from underground.
From the beginning of the program to today, only the initial beach camping and tonight's overnight stay in the countryside have given Tian Xiwei an exceptionally warm and natural feeling.
While the other groups of guests were complaining about their accommodations, Tian Xiwei was the only happy girl.
Tian Xiwei called into the house, "Li Shen, come out and pump water for me, I want a sip."
"it is good."
Li Shen pressed down on the handle.
Tian hope caught the water in both hands, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Li Shen, I'm relieved to see you're so calm today. Just please don't say anything carelessly about charity!"
Li Shen nodded: "Of course, I've always been a positive person."
Tian Xiwei felt uneasy: "I keep getting the feeling that you're acting strange. Be careful what you say and do!"
Li Shen nodded again: "I've always been a positive force!"
