chapter20
"This is my home." Tan Jinxue pushed open the fence door, and said to Kang Baiyu and his party behind him.
Kang Baiyu knew about Tan Jinxue's family background before, but he was still surprised by the scene before him.
—Three dilapidated tile-roofed houses were built on a very low ground in the village. You know, in this land where there is constant rain all year round, this kind of low-lying location is the most unsuitable place to build a house. It is probably because no one wants to live here that the family can afford the price here.
The ground in the yard is fairly flat, and it can be seen that it is cleaned frequently. Two free-range old hens are strolling beside the yard wall, and a few grains of dry corn are sprinkled on the ground.
Dried peppers are drying at the entrance of the main room, none of the window glass is intact, and the cracked places are wrapped with yellow wide tape, which is rustic and ugly.
"You watch your step."
Reminded by Tan Jinxue's words, Kang Baiyu raised his leg high and narrowly crossed a ridge on the ground.
Jiang Xiuhua came out from the house and greeted warmly: "Sit inside, sit inside!"
She didn't know the origin of these son's guests, but she remembered Tan Jinxue's instructions, and then she looked at the clothes of the people, and there were several of them, and she knew that there must be an origin.
Kang Baiyu followed Jiang Xiuhua and Tan Jinxue into the main room, and the rest of the staff were waiting in the yard.
Standing in front of the kitchen door, Jiang Xuan pursed her lips as she watched several well-dressed urbanites looking for a place to rest.
"Uncle, drink water."
The crew's cameras followed to see the venue today. He looked around the yard. It was indeed a difficult family, but it was also tidy and tidy, with a bit of a rural flavor.
very suitable.
The camera was thinking about how many camera positions and where to put them, when he heard a tender voice ringing in his ears.
The little girl was wearing a sportswear that was washed white, and the words "Da Banyan Middle School" on the back were blurred.
Her skin is slightly dark, but her facial features can tell that she is a beauty, with a high ponytail, she looks full of vigor.
She brought a large plate with three enamel cups on it, poured hot water, probably because there were not enough cups, and there was a bowl.
The camera man took a sip from the big bowl and smiled at the girl: "I'm just thirsty, thank you!"
The three people on the side also came to bring water.
They had all learned about the family's financial situation in advance, so they were not surprised at the moment, but lamented that the little girl was so polite and thoughtful, which is really rare.
"Are you Tan Jinxue's younger sister? What's her name?" the camera asked.
The little girl nodded, "My name is Jiang Xuan."
Due to malnutrition, the fourteen-year-old girl looked only eleven or twelve years old, with a sharp chin and a sense of tenacity in her eyes.
"Why is his surname Tan and your surname Jiang?"
"He's not my own brother. I have my mother's surname. His name was given by the principal of the elementary school in the village."
"Why didn't you go to school?"
"I don't want to read it anymore."
"Is it because of difficulties at home?"
"Well. My brother and I are the only one who can read."
"Then do you want to continue studying?"
"think."
In the hall.
"Your show, really, really can let us Axue go to the city to study?" Jiang Xiuhua asked in disbelief.
Kang Baiyu nodded quickly, "Sister Jiang, it's true! Our show will take three months to shoot, and if it's scheduled to be filmed at your home, the crew will have to pay you a certain venue fee."
Jiang Xiuhua opened her eyes wide, turned her head to look at Tan Jinxue, saw her son smiling and nodding, and then she relaxed a little, "This, this, it would be great if we could take pictures at our house!" After hesitating, he asked, "Look, is our family okay?"
Kang Baiyu smiled: "The environment of your home is very suitable." He asked again: "But... Jinxue seems unwilling to exchange to the city?"
When he came in, he only glanced at the black and thin little girl, but didn't pay attention.
When Kang Baiyu met Tan Jinxue for the first time, he basically identified this candidate in his heart, but he never expected that he would not want to go.
Jiang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, and tightly grasped Tan Jinxue's hand, ignoring that outsiders were still in front of her, and asked: "Axue, how can you not want such a good thing?! Tell mom, are you What do you think?!"
Tan Jinxue struggled for a while, but didn't take out her hand, and let Jiang Xiuhua hold it with a little embarrassment.
He glanced at Kang Baiyu and said, "Mom, I'm already a sophomore in high school. If I go to study in the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up." He continued to say to Jiang Xiuhua, "Let my sister go this time. She has better grades."
What he said was flat, but sincere.
Jiang Xiuhua's eye sockets turned red.
She has always treated Tan Jinxue as her own son, but the other party has become more and more indifferent and ungrateful, and now she can put herself in the shoes of her family and her younger sister Jiang Xuan. Such a mature and sensible son is something that Jiang Xiuhua never dared to think about before.
She didn't know why Tan Jinxue suddenly changed, but she was very happy.
Jiang Xiuhua choked up a little with this loving mother's mood of finally looking forward to her child's understanding.
"Axue, it would be great if you have this kind of heart...Mom knows, you always have this family in your heart...but, but..."
Jiang Xiuhua has been poor and miserable all her life. Her husband abandoned the house and went out to work and never came back. For more than ten years, she has taken care of her two children and worked hard.
But she still instinctively felt that only boys could be successful by studying, and girls only needed to know a few words.
Tan Jinxue interrupted her, "Mom, let my sister go, at least let Director Kang meet Xiaoxuan."
Her tone was somewhat serious, "Xiaoxuan is the hope of this family."
This is a big truth.
She said that Jinxue will always leave this world after completing the task, and the only one who can support this precarious home is the little girl who is eavesdropping outside the door at the moment.
[Ding—the favorability of the heroine Jiang Xuan: 45]
Kang Baiyu was a little helpless, and knew that Tan Jinxue couldn't be persuaded, "You really don't think about going to the city?" He knew that "I can't keep up with the second year of high school" was just an excuse, that is, to deceive the uneducated Jiang Xiuhua.
You must know that the program team has learned about Tan Jinxue's personal situation at school a long time ago. His grades are not only firmly in the first place in Darongshu High School, but even if he really transfers to a key high school in the city, he will not fall behind for people.
When Kang Baiyu thought of the report card he saw from Teacher Sun, and the clear and serious writing on the child's test paper, he couldn't help feeling a little pity for him.
The two urban children participating in the program this time have very rich backgrounds. As long as Tan Jinxue is smarter, the two families are likely to be willing to support him.
Tan Jinxue shook his head, "I'm not going." He showed a very "pure" smile, and said to Kang Baiyu, "It's better for me to stay and receive those two students."
Kang Baiyu could only smile and said: "That's fine, both of them didn't have very good grades, maybe they can really correct their bad habits here and study hard. After all, there is a role model like you."
Tan Jinxue seemed to be reminded by Kang Baiyu, "I can help them with their homework."
If the two second-generation ancestors can study diligently and improve their grades with the help of rural children, it will undoubtedly be icing on the cake for the program. During the period, there are countless provocative and funny tidbits to film, and it is difficult for Kang Baiyu to refuse this proposal.
Kang Baiyu raised his forehead, "Okay. If the grades of the two of them improve, the program team will give you tuition fees."
Then, as expected, he saw the brilliance of the dark deer-like eyes of the boy opposite him.
"I will definitely urge them to study!" He said firmly.
"Ah, Ah Choo—!"
On the bus to Liangtian Village, Darongshu Town, Zong Zi sneezed suddenly.
