They exchanged glances. It seemed their strength was truly being put to good use.
However, the village's current situation was indeed heartbreaking. Looking at the elderly and the children, they couldn't feel at ease even without this task.
Wai Shao, being the youngest and most spirited, was the first to raise his hand. "No problem!"
Xia Weiliang scoffed, "It's just spring planting. If you're so capable, why don't you arrange the autumn harvest too!"
A Ning chuckled, "Let's be straightforward. I feel restless after a period of inactivity! I've been eagerly waiting to do some physical labor!"
Zhang Miaomiao certainly couldn't be left behind. "I won't be going down to the fields, but you can entrust me with preparing the daily meals for everyone."
Everyone cheered. This was the right way to do "you plow the field, I cook the meal"!
Zhao Cheng was the most qualified to speak here. "I know how to plant. Liang Niang, you rest. Leave it all to me!"
Being served by her son felt incredibly good.
Xia Weiliang couldn't bear it. "You can be an on-site advisor."
"That won't do!" Zhao Cheng said earnestly, "Liang Niang, I've grown up. I want to take on the responsibilities of a man!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Weiliang was overjoyed. "See? My godson!"
Lin Zhuonan and Shang Rongrong were visiting for the first time and didn't ask for any special privileges. Especially Shang Rongrong, who immediately perked up upon hearing Xi En say to treat it as a role-playing experience.
Ding Yong and Shen Chunhua were deeply touched but insisted they didn't need to.
They couldn't possibly let these big stars work in the fields, and besides, they might not do it well, and worse, they might injure themselves. They couldn't afford to compensate for that.
Sensing their concerns, Xi En spoke up. "Just treat it as an immersive experience. It's a good thing for us."
Everyone nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
Even those present who were not actors were gaining valuable life experience.
He added, "If this causes any losses to the village, it will all be my personal responsibility."
"How can that be!" Xia Weiliang immediately shook her head. "This money must come from my Uncle Pan! As the platform boss, why are you stealing his thunder? Can't you give him a chance to shine?"
Everyone stifled their laughter, secretly giving Xia Weiliang a thumbs-up.
Among the bosses of various film and television companies and video platforms, some liked to cry poverty, some enjoyed being a teacher and lecturing on life philosophies, and some liked to take advantage of others. Among them, Old Pan was the most cunning!
Tsk tsk, when you thought about it, he was truly cunning and opportunistic!
"Niang Niang" truly lived up to her name, playing the dark card with such finesse!
Xi En chuckled and nodded. "That works too."
He then looked at Ding Yong. "How many households and how many acres of land are there in the village? We'll divide them by household."
"This..."
Ding Yong was still hesitant. Xia Weiliang looked at Shen Chunhua. "Sister Chunhua, don't worry! Farming is a skill we use to earn our food. While I wouldn't say we're professionals, we're champions in the amateur league!"
Shen Chunhua was amused by her. She was a straightforward person. "Then we'll be counting on you!"
Director Huang wasn't present, so there was no script or schedule. Everything was up to everyone's own decisions, though occasional hidden tasks might appear.
Accommodation was soon to be arranged. Due to the large number of villagers who worked elsewhere, Liu Family Village had several empty houses.
Ding Yong took it upon himself to give all of them to the production team.
After a simple tidying up of the houses, Zhang Miaomiao went to find Shen Chunhua to purchase ingredients.
In the courtyard, Shen Xiatree was sweeping with great diligence. This was the courtyard where his idol was going to stay, and he wished he could polish the dirt floor until it reflected light!
Xia Weiliang walked out, saw him, and beckoned him over.
"Xiao Shu, come here."
They had chatted on the way over. They were born in the same year, but Xia Weiliang, secretly adding her rebirth time, was older.
Therefore, she naturally addressed him as "Xiao Shu."
Shen Xiatree put down his broom and came over. "Miss Xia, what is it?"
"Can you take me for a walk around the village?"
"Certainly." Su Dan Novel Network.
Shen Chunshu readily agreed.
"Wait a moment."
Shang Rongrong happened to come out of the house. "I'll join you too."
Seeing his idol, Shen Chunshu's face instantly turned red, and he started to stammer. "Okay, okay... let's go... together..."
Shang Rongrong smiled at him, and Shen Chunshu felt his head buzz. He then turned forward, staring straight ahead, suddenly forgetting which leg to move or which hand to swing. As a result, he walked with his arms and legs moving in unison.
Xia Weiliang suppressed a smile and whispered, "My Sister Rongrong's charm is truly captivating!"
Shang Rongrong curved her lips and pointed at Shen Chunshu. "This child is quite cute."
Shortly after the three left, Lin Zhuonan turned into the courtyard. A Ning happened to be coming out. "Brother Nan."
Lin Zhuonan glanced in the direction of Shang Rongrong's room and cleared his throat. "Do you... need any help?"
"Ah, no need!" A Ning waved his hand powerfully. "We've already taken care of everything!"
"Mm," he nodded, naturally asking, "And them?"
"Niang Niang and Sister Rong are out strolling in the village."
He frowned again. "Just the two of them? What if they get lost again?"
"Xiao Shu is with them, so they'll be fine."
Lin Zhuonan suddenly remembered. It was that young man who blushed whenever Shang Rongrong spoke.
Although he understood that it was just a fan's mentality, he just didn't like other men looking at her that way.
He said in a low voice, "I'll go for a walk too."
The village wasn't large. After a few turns and passing through a few alleys, they had almost reached the end.
Along the way, Shen Xiatree was very attentive, briefly telling the two girls about the situation of each household.
At this moment, crying could be faintly heard from ahead, sounding like a young girl.
Xia Weiliang stopped immediately. "Xiao Shu, did you hear that? Someone is crying."
Shang Rongrong also nodded. "Yes, I heard it too."
Shen Xiatree immediately realized what was happening. "That's Meimei."
"Who is Meimei?"
"Uh, you might have seen a video. It's quite 'viral' in our village. It was filmed by a member of a charity organization before."
