My place is on fire

Chapter 286 A Liar Without Limits!
Eight past ten in the morning.

The top of the Heilongshan Scenic Area is already crowded with a group of tourists who punch in and take pictures with their mobile phones or cameras.

"It's so beautiful, it's incredible..."

"It's snowing again! I'm so lucky, I didn't catch up yesterday, but I caught up today!"

"It's the first time for me to stand in the warm sunshine and enjoy the snow."

"Have you noticed, it's not snowing anywhere else, only this hillside is snowing!"

"Really! It's amazing!"

While admiring the beautiful scenery, the tourists talked a lot, and soon some people noticed the uniqueness of the snow scene.

There are also some tourists who like to share their lives with others. They share the snow scene with their circle of friends by taking photos or post it as a short video on the Kuaisha short video platform.

Soon, those short videos about the snow scene in Heilongshan Scenic Area became popular again on the Kuaijiu platform.

"Are you sure this is Hebei Province? Now the temperature in the whole province is not lower than 10 degrees Celsius, so how could there be places where it snows!"

"Is this video deceiving? It hasn't snowed in the Northeast of our country, but it has started to snow in the north of Hebei?"

"Isn't it artificial snow made by the scenic spot to attract tourists?"

"What the hell is artificial snowfall! Even when the air humidity exceeds 90%, the temperature must reach minus 3 degrees Celsius to produce snow. With the current temperature in northern Hebei Province, snowfall is absolutely impossible."

"Isn't this already here?"

"Forehead……"

There are many praises at the bottom of the snow scene video, and there are also many voices of doubt. All kinds of voices come together to send the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Spot to the hot search again.

Even some self-proclaimed professionals are somewhat puzzled by the abnormal weather in the Heilongshan Scenic Area.

…………

At the same time that the snow scene in Heilongshan Scenic Area is popular again.

Shuisheng prepared all the goods that Luo Yuning wanted, food and drink, and filled the compartment of a small flatbed truck to the brim.

When paying the bill, Shuisheng said straightforwardly: "The total is 5439, count 5000 for Mr. Luo, and the remaining 439 yuan, I will also give my love to the nursing home in our village."

"Okay, then I'll thank Boss Shui on behalf of Grandma Li and the others." Luo Rongning agreed with a smile, and transferred 5000 yuan to Shuisheng on the spot.

The 439 yuan was Shuisheng's kindness to the elderly in the nursing home. Although Luo Rongning was not short of the money, he did not reject Shuisheng's kindness.

No matter how powerful a person is, it is still limited.

The purpose of Luo Rongning's move is also to let more people join the ranks of caring for the lonely and helpless elderly in rural areas.

Although Grandma Li and the others are out-and-out farmers without any great skills, they guard their one-acre three-point land all their lives, facing the loess and back to the sky,

But their generation's contribution to the country is no less than that of those old people in the city who are enjoying their lives with high pensions.

During the country's most difficult period, they tightened their belts and paid public grain for decades.

Now that they are old and unable to work, they need someone to take care of them. The Heilongshan Nursing Home came into being and took on this responsibility.

After the old man Luo Yuanshan passed away, Luo Rongning inherited the legacy of the old man and continued to take care of the elderly in the nursing home.

Maybe it was the sincerity of the two fathers who moved the heavens, so Luo Rongning was able to get the BUG-level plug-in of [Super Scenic Spot System] by chance.

If Luo Yuning didn't obey the old man's last words and ignored the old people in the nursing home after taking over the scenic spot, presumably the old people in the nursing home would not chip in to advertise for him.

Grandma Li would not give Luo Rongning the stone she regarded as a treasure, and let him sell it to refuel the car, and there would be no [Super Scenic Spot System].

There will not be a present where the scenery of Heilongshan Scenic Area is unlimited.

After loading the car and paying the money, Luo Rongning and Shuisheng drove one after the other to the Heilongshan Nursing Home.

Compared with the popular scenic spot, the Heilongshan Nursing Home is a bit deserted.

Among the elderly living in the nursing home, the youngest, Grandma Li, is 67 years old this year, nearly 70 years old.

When people get older, they become a little taciturn and don't like to move much.

Especially those orphans and widows living in nursing homes.

They live carefully every day, for fear of accidentally bumping and causing trouble to others.

Luo Yuning parked the car at the entrance of the nursing home, opened the door and got out of the car. Shui Xiangdong and An Youqing also got out of the car, and each of them reported a bucket of mountain spring water.

The three raised their legs and came to the gate. Luo Rongning reached out and knocked on the black iron door of the nursing home: "Grandma Li, open the door, we are coming to see you."

After knocking on the door, it took nearly half a minute before the black irons opened it with a squeak. The person who opened the door was a thin, stooped old man.

"Good morning, fourth grandfather, we are here to see you."

After seeing the old man, Luo Rongning greeted him with a smile.

Luo Rongning didn't know what the fourth grandfather's nickname was, and he never asked, it's been called that since he was a child.

Three years ago, the fourth grandfather was still working under Mr. Luo in the scenic spot.

In the past two years, Fourth Grandpa couldn't work anymore, his memory began to decline, and he often forgot the work tasks that Mr. Luo ordered him to do, so he was arranged by the old man to live in a nursing home for the elderly.

When Mr. Luo passed away and went to the funeral, Fourth Grandpa was so sad that he didn't eat or drink for several days, and he almost didn't leave with Mr. Luo.

Among the old people in the nursing home, apart from Grandma Li, Luo Rongning had the best relationship with Fourth Grandpa.

The Fourth Grandfather saw the pickup truck parked outside the door, and said annoyedly: "Boy Luo, why are you here again! I haven't finished eating the pile of food I delivered last time! You can't save some money and hurry up!" Marry a daughter-in-law? How old are you and still not married? When your grandpa is your age, your father will know how to make soy sauce."

Luo Yuning sneered: "Fourth Grandpa, you don't welcome me..."

"You come empty-handed, we welcome you at any time, if you bring such things every time you come, don't come here in the future, come in quickly."

Although Fourth Grandpa complained, a blind person could tell that the smile on his face increased a little the moment he saw Luo Rongning.

"Come in quickly, Xiangdong, Youqing, you two go and change the water first."

Luo Yuning greeted Shui Xiangdong and An Youqing, and followed the old man into the door first.

The fourth grandfather said again: "Xiao Luozi, I'm not joking with you. Next time I open the door, I'll take a peek through the crack of the door. If I see you bring so many things again, I will definitely not open the door for you."

Luo Yuning said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't do it next time, I bought it this time, and you and Grandma Li helped solve the problem. By the way, why don't you see Grandma Li?"

The fourth grandfather said: "They are busy in the chess and card room."

Luo Yuning smiled and said: "It's okay to play poker, and playing mahjong is also good, to refresh your mind."

The fourth grandpa said: "What kind of poker and mahjong are you playing? A bunch of old ladies who are money fans are busy making money."

"Busy to make money?" Luo Rongning frowned slightly, "Why didn't Grandma Li and the others tell me they were short of money, and why did they go to make money by themselves?"

The fourth grandpa said: "Don't worry, Luo boy, Xiao Li and the others are not tired of the work they do. They just do handicrafts in the yard, and someone will come to collect them when they are done."

"Doing manual work?" Luo Rongning felt that this matter was unreliable when he heard it.

Generally speaking, nine and a half out of ten of those who distribute manual work on the Internet are big liars who cheat you of money under the guise of making money from you.

Most of the manual work outsourcing processing information is false, what they say is very attractive, as long as you have hands, you can make money.

Most of the things they make are also very simple, such as making Chinese knots, blessing characters, Santa Claus, etc.

The custom-made party provides free raw materials, teaches you the craft for free, and pays a very attractive processing fee, which looks very attractive.

Once someone contacts them, they will ask for a certain amount of deposit in the form of a raw material deposit.

For the first cooperation, the two parties have not yet established a foundation of trust, and it seems completely reasonable to pay a raw material deposit.

If the security deposit is paid, the scammer's purpose of defrauding money will be achieved.

It is this deposit that crooks are after.

The value of raw materials is often said to be very valuable and expensive by liars, but it is actually worthless.

Basically, they are all wholesaled from PDD or ALBB, and you can buy a large bag of leftovers for tens of dollars.

After the manual workers have worked hard to finish the work, the liar will tell the manual workers that the things you made are substandard.

No matter how strictly the manuals are done according to the instructions and training content, they are all unqualified.

If the materials are wasted, the deposit will not be returned.

There are also some companies that specifically cheat "breach of contract".

Promise the deceived a tempting reward, and then give the deceived an impossible task.

Then say that the deceived person breached the contract and demand compensation.

The deceived knew that they were wronged and had to obediently pay for it.

These scammers focus on the left-behind women in rural areas who have no job or income and want to make money by their own ability, or the elderly who want to earn pocket money to relieve the burden on their children.

"Those hateful liars actually tricked Grandma Li and the others."

After listening to the fourth grandpa's narration, Luo Rongning felt more and more unreliable about it.

Followed the fourth grandpa into the chess and card room, and sure enough, a group of old ladies were busy crocheting Chinese knots there.

"Xiao Luo is here!"

"Xiao Luo, come in, sit down and drink water."

Grandma Li and the other old ladies hurriedly put down the handiwork they were doing when they saw Luo Rongning at the door, and got up to welcome him.

"Grandma Li, what are you doing?"

After Luo Yuning entered the door and sat down, he picked up a finished product and pretended to ask a question casually.

It can be seen that the grandmas also made it with care. The Chinese knot is very beautiful. With Luo Yuning's eyes, he can't see any flaws.

Grandma Li said with a smile: "We old people have nothing to do every day, so we want to find a less tiring job that can be done at home.

Just last week when I went to Yangcun to catch a big market, I ran into an old acquaintance from Yangcun. She was making this thing and it was said that she could earn more than 1000 yuan a month.

So a few of us followed suit. We can’t earn a lot of money, but we can earn some pocket money. "

Luo Rongning looked at the palm-sized Chinese knot over and over again, and asked casually, "How much does it cost to make such a Chinese knot?"

Grandma Li said a little excitedly: "If you make a good one, you will be charged two yuan for the handwork. If you are more agile, you can make twenty or thirty in a day, and you can earn five or sixty yuan."

An income of 60 yuan a day is still very attractive to several elderly people in nursing homes.

Some women in their 60s and 60s work in the greening company in the wind and rain, and they only earn [-] or [-] yuan a day.

"That's it, that's pretty good..." When Luo Yuning heard Grandma Li's words, she suddenly felt even more unreliable, and asked tentatively, "How much have you done, Grandma Li? Has it been billed?"

Grandma Li pointed to a large cardboard box in a corner of the room, and said happily: "Isn't this the first batch of 500 pieces that have just been made? Today, someone from the company will come to collect the things, and wait for these After the materials are delivered to the company and pass the quality inspection, the next time they send the materials over, they will bring our manual costs along with them.”

Another grandma said with a smile: "We have made every Chinese knot carefully and carefully, and checked it several times after we finished it. It must be fine."

"Xiao Luo, when we earn money by doing handwork, you don't have to send us things every month. We support ourselves. When we can't even do handwork, we will trouble you later."

According to the manual fee of 2 yuan each, 500 Chinese knots are 1000 yuan, which is nothing to Luo Rongning, but it is a lot of money for several elderly people.

Earn 1000 a week, and 4000 yuan a month, which is enough for the daily expenses of several elderly people in nursing homes.

Seeing the excited and happy expressions on the faces of several old people, Luo Rongning couldn't bear to tell them the truth.

After Shui Xiangdong and An Youqing changed the water for the drinking fountains in the nursing home, they went to the chess and card room to meet Luo Yuning.

After hearing the conversation between Grandma Li and the others, Shui Xiangdong tried to say something several times, but was stopped by Luo Rongning's eyes.

After chatting with some old people in the chess and card room for a while, Luo Rongning called Shui Xiangdong out alone.

"What's the matter, Xiangdong, do you have something to say?"

Luo Rongning took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed Shui Xiangdong one, in fact, he had almost guessed what Shui Xiangdong was going to tell him.

"Boss Luo! The grandmas have been duped!" Shui Xiangdong said anxiously after taking the cigarettes from Luo Rongning, "My classmate's mother is from Yangcun next door, and the things she makes are the same as Grandma Li and the others. , They are all made of Chinese knots, not to mention that they didn’t earn a penny, and a deposit of more than 900 yuan was posted in it. When I was drinking with him two days ago, I complained about it. There are various fault-finding companies over there, all kinds of telling you to rework, no matter how skillful people are, it is impossible to make products that meet their requirements.”

"Sure enough..." Luo Yuning couldn't help shaking his head and smiling after hearing Shui Xiangdong's words, he really guessed it right.

Those women and old people in the village have stayed in the village all year round, lacking social experience, it is difficult to see through the scam, and in most cases they will consider themselves unlucky.

Even if someone realizes that they have been cheated afterwards, most of them will choose to admit that they are unlucky because the amount of money cheated is not large, and they will just spend money to buy a lesson.

Therefore, in recent years, many fraudulent companies have focused on the sinking rural market, earning a lot of money against their conscience.

Shui Xiangdong asked with concern: "What should we do, Mr. Luo? Should we call the police for Grandma Li and the others?"

"No need for now, I'll find someone to handle this matter." Luo Rongning thought of his godbrother Gu Hongfei who just became sworn brothers with him last night.

Those scammers are really hateful. They even cheated the old people in the nursing home of their money. They must be taught a deeper lesson.
