Chapter 4, clay figurines.

----------

When Li Chengxin's gaze swept across a corner of the ruins, the system suddenly made a sound.At the same time, a bold and flashing arrow appeared.

[Clay Sculptures of Hongming Island: Clay sculptures of Hongming Island’s landforms carved with respect by villagers have been worshiped with incense for centuries. After being worshiped, they can bless Hongming Island with good weather and good weather.Damaged and awaiting repair. 】

Li Chengxin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and when he said antique, here comes this antique!This wave, I don't know if I can make a fortune!He pretended to rummage through the ruins for usable building materials, and gradually walked towards the location indicated by the arrow.

"Hey, Brother Xiaoyong, the ancestral tablets and valuables in the ancestral hall in our village have already been taken to the new ancestral hall."

"That's right." Brother Xiaoyong lowered his head and put the few unbroken tiles on the edge of the ruins, planning to pile them up and move them onto the cart.

"Then why do I feel like I see something under here? Come and help me look." Li Chengxin moved a few crispy rafters, which was where the two-star item pointed to by the system was.

At first glance, the antique does not seem to be small, and it seems that it is not easy to handle when it is under a pile of things.Therefore, Li Chengxin had no choice but to call Brother Xiao Yong.

Brother Xiaoyong waded over the broken bricks and tiles, looked at what Li Chengxin was pointing at, studied the ruins piled up on it, and then removed a few pieces of rotten wood, and then helped Li Chengxin to open the hole under the rafters. Gravel, holding out a dark thing under the gravel.

When Brother Xiaoyong held the thing in his hands, Li Chengxin put down the rafter he was supporting before, and then he had the opportunity to carefully look at the "antique" indicated by the system.

This thing is about the size of a young orange cat, hemispherical, flat on the top, and uneven on the spherical surface, as if there are many small tentacles extending downward, and many of the "tentacles" are broken.

"What is this?" Brother Xiaoyong looked him up and down, completely confused.

"You took it upside down." With the system's prompt, Li Chengxin combined it with the system information, and quickly matched the real shape of this thing.

Brother Xiaoyong turned the object on his hand according to his words, with the flat surface facing down and the stubby tentacles facing up.

"Sure enough," Li Chengxin piled the rafters he had thrown aside with his feet, and leaned forward to look at the items in Brother Xiaoyong's hands, "This is the landform clay sculpture of our Hongming Village. Look, this is the one behind my house Small slope. Then here is the road into the village, and the archway should be at this location. This is the small pond in the middle of the village. There are also these small slopes, and this one has a step. Does it look familiar? Isn’t it? The newly built ancestral hall?"

Brother Xiaoyong widened his eyes and stared at the hemisphere in his hand: "This is too accurate. There was no aerial camera at that time. How did you make it? Since this thing is buried in this old ancestral hall, maybe It must be at least 50 years!"

The system says "several centuries"!

Li Chengxin was about to refute, when a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the ruins: "Brother Xiaoyong, what are you doing here?"

Li Chengxin looked at the reputation, and saw that the person who was asking the question just now was a strange young lady. In his impression, there was no such person in Hongming Village.The man was looking at them with a mobile phone, not sure if he was taking pictures or doing something.Li Chengxin also looked at the past without shyness. This young lady looks about 20 years old, with a round face, a little light makeup, a solid body, and plain clothes. In the consciousness of rural people, this should be described as a good birth .

"Hello, you are what everyone calls 'Xin Wa'er'." Seeing Li Chengxin looking at herself, the young lady greeted cheerfully. "My name is Lin Yiyi, and I am a college student village official in Hongming Village."

College student village official, Li Chengxin heard this word, and immediately understood the background of this young lady named Lin Yiyi.In recent years, the topic of "College Student Village Officials" has become more and more popular, but seeing it with your own eyes is really different from the senses on the Internet.Li Chengxin remembered that the first few batches of college student village officials chose graduates from 985, and these are all high-achieving students going to the countryside!
"Hello, hello," Li Chengxin took off his gloves and shook hands with Lin Yiyi, "I'm Li Chengxin, nice to meet you."

When it was over, he went to tease Brother Xiaoyong again: "Why didn't you say that there are beautiful young ladies in the village, did you want to monopolize them all? Seeing that I'm so disheveled, you did it on purpose."

Unexpectedly, Brother Xiaoyong didn't answer the call.Li Chengxin looked carefully, brother Xiaoyong's black face seemed to be red and a little purple.Seeing this situation, Li Chengxin couldn't help feeling suspicious. This...it seems...maybe...

Lin Yiyi smiled generously, and did not answer Li Chengxin's remarks. This demeanor immediately made Li Chengxin feel good.

Lin Yiyi turned his head and said to Brother Xiaoyong: "It seems that Uncle Chen has asked you to help shoot the video. Seeing that you can't go there, let me come over and ask him."

"Hey, why did I forget about this? You see, my cousin just came back last night, and today he is demolishing the house and preparing to rebuild it. What time is it? Is there still time?" Brother Xiaoyong Scratching the back of his head, he hurriedly walked out of the ruins.

Lin Yiyi rolled up his sleeves and looked at the sports bracelet on his hand: "It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not too late. Do you want to pack up and go now?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Li Chengxin: "Xin baby, you also go to help out with suggestions? I heard that you came back from the city, and you should be very good at live broadcasting, right?"

live streaming?Focus on it!

Hearing Lin Yiyi say the word "live broadcast", Li Chengxin immediately remembered the live broadcast popularity card that was obtained in the system novice treasure box before. Is this the purpose of the system?But the problem is, the protagonist of the live broadcast now seems to be Brother Xiaoyong. Could it be that Brother Xiaoyong is the real protagonist of this story?And he who got the system is actually just an assistant?It has been in this bridge novel!

Speaking of which, Li Chengxin does have screen experience that is unknown to the villagers. Thinking about it, Brother Xiaoyong is the only relative of his peers, and he can also find out what kind of work Brother Xiaoyong is doing. The card that was obtained in the lottery that can assist the live broadcast, so I agreed, and I will pack it up later and go there together.

Seeing that Li Chengxin also agreed to go with him, Brother Xiaoyong immediately prepared to throw down the clay statue in his hand and go home to take a bath.

This action startled Li Chengxin, it was an antique worth an unknown value!

"Hey, wait, what is this!" At this moment, Lin Yiyi finally saw the clay statue in Brother Xiaoyong's hand, "Isn't this our Hongming Village? It's very delicate, give it to me."

Li Chengxin was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say. He obviously discovered this antique first, but he hasn't even hugged it yet.But on the other hand, Lin Yiyi can tell at a glance that this is a clay sculpture of Hongming Village. It can be seen that this girl village official really cares about the development of this village, which is very gratifying.Speaking of which, the antique is indeed the landform of Hongming Village, and this antique should indeed belong to the village, so there is no problem for Lin Yiyi, the village official, to take it.

Thinking of this, Li Chengxin suddenly remembered that since this was something buried in the old ancestral hall, maybe Uncle Chen Er might know its origin, so he said:
"Why don't we take this thing to ask Uncle Chen, after all, he is also an old man in the village and has participated in the demolition of the old ancestral hall."

……

Li Chengxin remembers that when he was a child, he and Brother Xiaoyong often played together in the mountains and seas in the village. After playing, they would get some well water in the yard of Brother Xiaoyong's house, strip off and take a bath in the yard.

After many years of visiting Brother Xiaoyong’s house, the yard has been paved with cement, and the open-air well has been replaced by a water pump.

At first, he was still thinking about whether the two of them should take off their clothes and take a shower together as they did back then, but looking at the small boxy shower room in the yard, Li Chengxin flinched.

"Brother Xiaoyong, you should take a shower first. I think it's a bit weird for the two of us to squeeze in and take a shower together..."

Brother Xiaoyong tilted his mouth: "You are enough! I never thought of picking up soap with you!"

After speaking, he rushed into the shower room first.

The two took a bath in turn, and chatted through the low wall of the shower room during the period.After most of the day today, Li Chengxin was forced to do a lot of work as soon as he had breakfast, and he didn't have time to talk to people.At this time, when we chatted, I realized that the village has changed a lot in the past few years since he didn't return to the village.

Brother Xiaoyong's parents, that is, Li Chengxin's uncle and aunt, moved to the town early in order to facilitate fishing.Because of what he committed back then, Brother Xiaoyong couldn't hold his head up in the town, so he didn't go with his parents, and now he stays in the village.There is a shortage of young and strong laborers in the village, so Brother Xiaoyong learned how to build houses and repair houses with Uncle Zhengwen and Uncle Zhengwu, and he has a skill in eating.

At the same time, Brother Xiaoyong is still a young man after all. After falling in love with some live broadcast software, he occasionally does live broadcasts of building houses.

As a college student village official appointed by the state, Lin Yiyi's tasks include helping to develop new villages and improving the rural economy.Therefore, she opened an online shop in the village in the name of the village committee, hired Brother Xiao Yong as a guest reporter and photographer, and did some interviews with villagers and farmers for Weibo and online shop promotion.

That's why there was this scene where Lin Yiyi came to find brother Xiaoyong in the afternoon.

"Is the old village chief still there?" Li Chengxin suddenly asked after chatting about the current situation of the village.

"Which old village head?" Brother Xiaoyong asked with some doubts, "I came back three years ago. At that time, the village head was already the current village head Qu. Although he was an outsider, I heard that he also came to our village to return to his roots Yes. If the old village chief you want to talk about is Cong Bo, he will be gone before I come back..."

Although "absent" should have other meanings, but from Brother Xiaoyong's tone, this "absent" should mean death.

"Cong Bo is gone..." Li Chengxin murmured.

"Speaking of which, I think you should pay your respects to Congbo now that you are back. I have a gossip here, believe it or not. I heard from my parents that when you were in college, many people in your family and village died I borrowed money, and then your parents were gone, so Congbo helped you pay back the money."

Li Chengxin had no doubts about what Brother Xiaoyong said.At the funeral of his parents, Congbo Lai burned a handful of IOUs. After that, no one in the village mentioned the matter of college tuition to him, so he guessed it.When I came back this time, I actually planned to return the money to Uncle Cong. Unexpectedly, he was no longer there.

"Brother Xiaoyong, are you familiar with people from Cong Bo's family? I think I'd like to say thank you if I have the opportunity."

"This may be a bit difficult. It seems that Congbo's sons and daughters have either gone abroad or lived in big cities. Remember first, there is always a chance." interested in chatting.

That being the case, Li Chengxin had no choice but to go to the ancestral hall tomorrow to find his uncle's tablet.Congbo is the child of the grandpa's cousin's family, and they are all clan relatives, so the tablet should also be in the ancestral hall.

Since they had nothing to say, the two had to pack up in a hurry and headed to the second uncle Chen's house.

This Uncle Chen is also an old man in the village. He is over 60 this year. He has been growing leeks in the village since he was young. Greenhouse.For decades, hundreds of stubbles of leeks have been cut every few mornings, and they are sold in the town on small batteries, and the sales are not bad.

In addition to the above information that Li Chengxin knew, Brother Xiaoyong introduced more about Uncle Chen Er's current situation.In the past two years, Uncle Chen's son and daughter-in-law returned to their hometown to help, so their family built two new greenhouses, so the production of leeks suddenly doubled, but the sales volume that has been maintained for 30 years will not increase so easily.

Uncle Chen's son thought of the online store that Lin Yiyi, a college student village official, recently opened. At the same time, Brother Xiaoyong's interview program can be said to be one of the village's jokes.So I wondered if I could use this method to sell the remaining leeks on the online store.

After introducing the situation along the way, when they arrived at the place, the second uncle Chen and his son and daughter-in-law were sorting leek seedlings in the greenhouse, while Lin Yiyi took a Canon handheld video camera to record.Seeing Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong come in, everyone got up to say hello.Uncle Chen's son should actually be of the same generation as the parents of Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong, so they are still a little bit tied.

He didn't make any preparations, Brother Xiaoyong directly pulled Uncle Chen to stand in the shed where the leeks grow into plants, and asked Lin Yiyi to act as a photographer, and then the video began.

Li Chengxin and Uncle Chen's son and daughter-in-law watched from the sidelines.

First, Brother Xiaoyong introduced to the camera: "Hello everyone, this is the leek greenhouse in Hongming Village. The person next to me is Uncle Chen Er. He has been growing leeks in our village for more than 30 years. Let us come today Interview Uncle Chen about his leek planting."

"Uncle Chen, how many leeks can you harvest in a day?"

"I harvest three times a week, and each harvest is about 100 catties."

"Then how many leeks have you grown?"

"The four greenhouses are about ten acres of land. One greenhouse grows seedlings, one greenhouse grows roots, and the other two grow plants. According to my harvesting method, I can harvest one round of leeks a month."

"Uncle Chen, can you tell me about your leeks?"

"My chives are delicious. When they are fresh, they taste sweet and not spicy at all. Restaurants in the town like to buy my chives..."

"..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Li Chengxin couldn't stand watching anymore, the interview made him drowsy, "Brother Xiaoyong, no one will watch the interview like this now, you are not CCTV, there are even boring things People watch. Besides, you want more people from the city to buy the leeks from Uncle Chen’s house, this interview is a bit entertaining.”

Brother Xiaoyong rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly: "I have watched some agricultural assistance programs, aren't they all similar to this...it seems really boring."

When Li Chengxin was watching Brother Xiaoyong's interview just now, he and Uncle Chen's son Chen Chong learned about some leek planting conditions. Combined with what he saw and heard in Lanhai City, he actually already had an idea in his heart.

"The best time to harvest leeks is in the morning. It's already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the leeks look dying, and the video is actually not good-looking. Why don't we go back to plan at night and come to shoot the harvest of leeks tomorrow morning. How about it?" Li Chengxin suggested.

"You can do it if you want." Lin Yiyi wanted to change the boring situation of Brother Xiaoyong's interviews early on, but he didn't know where to start. Now someone has an idea, of course it is very welcome.

Uncle Chen was very dissatisfied with Li Chengxin's interruption of the interview at the beginning, but at this moment, his son seemed to agree with Li Chengxin. Thinking about live broadcasting, young people are probably better at things like this, so he didn't say anything .For him, anyway, his family wakes up early in the morning to work every day, and there is no problem with the live broadcast at any time, so he made an appointment with a few young people to continue tomorrow morning.

After returning home from work, Li Chengxin thought that her home was already crumbling, and it was absolutely impossible to live in it, so she simply followed Brother Xiaoyong home.I stayed at Brother Xiaoyong’s house for one night, explaining to him my plan for this leek interview, thinking of the card that jumped out from the novice treasure box to increase the popularity of the live broadcast, and finally decided to do this interview in the form of live broadcast .
