Choose a day to become famous

In Lu Yanhe's memory, it seems that he has never participated in such a large-scale traditional activity.

Whether before or after time travel, he is a typical "modern urbanist".

He grew up in an environment that was almost "traditional". Except for traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival, Lu Yanhe never participated in traditional regional activities such as "lantern stepping".

Therefore, when Lu Yanhe encountered such an event in Jiangzhi this time, he felt very fresh, and even felt a sense of bewilderment, and he frequently glimpsed a kind of trance between ancient and modern times.

Jiangzhi is originally a very old city, and its modernization process is not developed. Many buildings even retain the charm of ancient times, including wooden houses, buildings from the Republic of China, and old-fashioned buildings from the 1960s and 1970s. , of course, there are also renovated houses, which are scattered in every corner of the city. They obviously come from different periods, but they are shrouded in the same atmosphere.

Especially at night, the light is not so bright and the huge buildings become shadowy. Many young men and women dressed in ancient styles shuttle through the city holding lanterns, giving people this feeling.

Lu Yanhe walked onto the Mother-Son Bridge and stood at the end of the bridge. He saw people holding lanterns on both sides of the river.

"It's so beautiful." Xin Zixing stood beside him and uttered a sentiment deep in Lu Yanhe's heart.

Lu Yanhe said: "I can't even imagine how beautiful such a scene would have been in ancient times."

Small bridge, flowing water, moon above the branches.

Xin Zixing: "It's also very beautiful now. It's really a scenery you can't see anywhere else."

Lu Yanhe calmed down his emotions a little, so that he would not be too immersed in the impact of this night on him.

"Brother He, sister-in-law, have you ever participated in such an event?" Lu Yanhe turned to look at the two of them.

Liu Yiyi smiled, nodded, and said, "It was on this day that he proposed to me."

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixing immediately looked at Liu Yiyi in surprise, "When was that?"

He Yunlan held Liu Yiyi's hand and said, "The year we graduated."

Xin Zixin's face showed a hint of envy.

At this moment, both Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixin had an indescribable look in their eyes.

"Hey, isn't that the young lady we met at the teahouse in the afternoon?" Xiao Mei suddenly pointed at a dressed-up woman on the bridge. She did not choose ancient clothes, but still wore a burgundy long skirt, with her hair held loosely. Don't be charming.

The most important thing is that the woman who said in the teahouse in the afternoon that she was not interested in participating in the lantern stepping activity is now holding a lantern in her hand.

"..."

Lu Yanhe and Xin Zixin couldn't help but smile at each other.

-

The filming lasted until 10:30 pm.

Xin Zixing said: "There are fewer people on the street, and we have almost finished shooting the material. How about we go have something to eat together?"

He Yunlan said: "Just in time, I'll take you to eat. Let's see what you want to eat."

Lu Yanhe said: "Brother He, you still have to go to work tomorrow morning, right? Today we troubled you and your sister-in-law to stay with us all night. You don't need to accompany us anymore. We can just find a home by ourselves."

He Yunlan glanced at Liu Yiyi and saw that she had no objection, so he smiled and said: "We are hungry after walking all night. After eating, we feel comfortable when we go back to bed. It's okay. We usually go to bed at twelve o'clock, no so early."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

We all went to a barbecue restaurant together.

He Yunlan led the way, and the barbecue restaurant they came to was actually in a small corner on the edge of a residential area. Looking at the excitement, they walked around a locust tree and then passed through a small alley. The crowd suddenly became less crowded.

However, the business of this barbecue restaurant is still very good, and the small table at the door is full of people.

Seeing it from a distance, Xin Zixing couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Are there any seats here?"

"Don't worry, Yun Lan has already called the boss in advance and reserved a private room for us." Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

Liu Yiyi is really too gentle.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but look at Liu Yiyi a few more times.

After eating and drinking, Lu Yanhe listened to the noise of people outside, holding his chin with one hand, feeling a little dazed.

Instead, Xin Zixing was chatting happily with He Yunlan and Liu Yiyi.

It was He Yunlan who noticed that Lu Yanhe was distracted, so he came close to his ear and asked in a low voice: "Are you sleepy?"

Lu Yanhe came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, I'm not sleepy, I'm just exhausted, and I've been walking all day, and I don't want to talk anymore."

"Isn't it very busy for you to be an artist while studying at the same time?" He Yunlan asked.

Lu Yanhe pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Actually, it's not bad. When I was in my senior year of high school, I basically didn't do much work as an artist. It was only after I finished the exam that I started to take on more jobs. Moreover, I liked all of these jobs. It’s something I like to do, including shooting documentaries about this city. I’ve only been in Jiangzhi for one day, but the atmosphere here is so great, it’s a city atmosphere I’ve never felt before.”

He Yunlan asked with a smile: "Is it a small city atmosphere? Yuming is indeed different from here. Yuming is an international metropolis after all."

"It's not just the difference. As soon as I got here, I felt like I was relieved. If nothing else, the air is much better than that in Yuming." Lu Yanhe smiled and scratched his head, "Besides, I especially like this place. I feel like there is a lot of excitement everywhere I go, not the kind of excitement with a lot of people, but like a road with few lone people, all in groups, talking and laughing, without any barriers. It’s rare to see someone with no expression on their face.”

In Yuming, if you walk on the road, you will find that most people are alone, walking in a hurry, and their faces are expressionless. The more people there are, the more such people there are. It looks lively, but in fact it is just lively due to the large number of people.

He Yunlan said: "I have always felt that Jiangzhi is a very suitable place for everyone to take a short vacation. You can stay here for three to five days. The climate here is good and there are many things to eat, drink and have fun, but the traffic is too heavy." It’s no longer convenient.”

Speaking of this, He Yunlan showed some regret on his face, "If the location here was better, people might be more willing to come."

When Lu Yanhe heard He Yunlan's words, he didn't know what to say.

Indeed it is.

A trip to Jiangzhi takes too much time.

Traffic on the road is very inconvenient.

However, if the transportation is really so convenient and there are more tourists, Jiangzhi may not be able to maintain the urban atmosphere it has now.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "I hope this program can make more people recognize Jiang Zhi."

He Yunlan nodded, "We don't have any big companies or industries here, and the economy is not very developed. In recent years, the city has been hoping to build Jiangzhi's cultural tourism brand and develop tourism. I also think this place is very suitable for this. Therefore, we have been working hard to let more people know about Jiangzhi, but it seems that it is not so easy to make people willing to travel to a remote city. We have spent a lot of effort, but we can't attract anyone to come. "

The main reason is that too many cities are developing tourism now.

Tourism boosts the local economy so much. As long as people come, everything can be boosted.

Until the traffic situation in Jiangzhi is effectively solved, it will be difficult to attract tourists on a large scale.

Here, the per capita monthly income may be just over 1,500 yuan, and a civil servant like He Yunlan earns less than 100,000 yuan a year.

Of course, this income is enough for them to live locally.

But if the city does not develop, it will only become more and more declining. Although Jiangzhi is not He Yunlan's hometown, it has become his second hometown because of his status as son-in-law. Of course he hopes to see the city develop and everyone's lives get better.

Lu Yanhe sincerely hopes that this film can arouse everyone's interest in Jiangzhi and make them willing to visit Jiangzhi.

On the way back to the inn, Lu Yanhe said to Xin Zixing: "Sister Zixing, if possible, this video should be broadcast online on Wednesday or Thursday."

Xin Zixing was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything special about it?"

"I was just wondering if this would allow people who have watched the video and are interested in Jiang Zhi to use their weekend time to come here and have fun." Lu Yanhe said, "It is unrealistic for us to be so far apart, but Jiang Zhi It only takes a few hours for people from those places to come, right? Maybe we can go to all the places we didn’t go to today, so that the show can show more of Jiang Zhi’s charm.”

Xin Zixing understood Lu Yanhe's intention instantly.

"You talked a lot with Director He just now, couldn't you just talk about this?"

"No, this is what I just thought of. I just...well, I like it here very much." Lu Yanhe said, "I really hope that our trip here and filming this show can bring some positive effects to this place. "

Xin Zixing patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said, "Yan He, I understand your thoughts, but I am a few years older than you, and I have also experienced a stage like yours. I want to tell you that many times we Everyone hopes to achieve a certain goal, but it is actually very difficult. Just like coming to Jiangzhi to do this program, I, like you, hope to attract more people who are willing to come to Jiangzhi to play and visit. But the core idea when we shoot this program is to introduce different cities to the audience and show the charm of different cities. As for what role this final program can play and how many tourists it can attract Coming here, this is not something we can control, nor can we predict. What we can do is to do the things at hand well. We can only wait and see what the final result will be."

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"As you told me this afternoon, mission-style shooting will affect the quality of the program. We shoot this program with a utilitarian purpose, which will also affect the quality of the program." Xin Zixing said, "There is good hope There is no problem. However, our main job is to do a good job. The prerequisite for doing a good job is what you said. When we are in good condition and have fun eating, drinking and having fun, everyone will truly feel that this is a good show. A place worth coming to, without any show or pretense, just to convey our truest feelings to everyone.”

Lu Yanhe was enlightened.

-

When he arrived at the inn, Lu Yanhe was already very tired.

He said: "Then I will go back to the room to rest."

Xin Zixing nodded and said, "Let's pick some wheat for you first."

It wasn't too late, but Lu Yanhe had been walking outside all day, and his steps were estimated to be over 30,000. Lu Yanhe was really tired and just wanted to lie down on the bed.

However, just as Xiao Mei was helping him pick wheat, the sound of a suitcase wheel rolling on the road suddenly came from the side, from far to near.

Everyone turned their heads curiously when they heard the sound. Lu Yanhe also turned his head and looked over. A girl wearing a white shirt and a dark blue long skirt, who looked like she had just walked out of an anime, appeared in front of them.

The girl had long hair like seaweed, and her fair skin still exuded a pearl-like luster under the illumination of the street lamp.

Her eyes fell on Lu Yanhe, and she immediately had a joyful glow.

"Lu Yanhe!"

"Lin... Miaomiao?" Lu Yanhe looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

At the same time, the eyes of the other members of the crew all fell on Lu Yanhe.

The expressions on their faces showed the same ambiguous color.

Lin Miaomiao walked to Lu Yanhe with a suitcase in her hand, holding a lantern.

She lifted it up, showed it to Lu Yanhe, and said, "Just now on my way here, someone gave me a lantern."

Lu Yanhe: "Do you know what it means when someone gives you a lantern tonight?"

"I know, he likes me, so he stepped on the lantern." Lin Miaomiao nodded immediately, "I told him that I like the lantern very much, so I accepted it, but I don't accept confessions from strangers, so he left."

Lu Yanhe looked at Lin Miaomiao in shock.

Is there such a thing?

Lin Miaomiao pointed to the inn behind them and asked, "You are staying here, right?"

Lu Yanhe nodded.

"It seems that I didn't book the wrong place." Lin Miaomiao smiled with relief.

Lu Yanhe looked back at Xin Zixing and the others.

Xin Zixing immediately said, "Then you guys chat first, we'll go in first."

Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you still need to prepare for the harvest tonight?"

"No, what's the point of harvesting?" Xin Zixing said directly, "You guys chat about your own things."

Lin Miaomiao raised her lips and said, "Then help me bring my suitcase in, I'll check in first."

After that, Lin Miaomiao followed Xin Zixing and the others into the inn.

Chen Liang, who always spoke little, glanced at Lu Yanhe who was standing there and asked, "Do you need help?"

Lu Yanhe said awkwardly, "No."

He felt that he was not wrong, he did see a hint of ridicule in Chen Liang's eyes.

-

Why did Lin Miaomiao suddenly come to Jiangzhi?

After this question popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind, it never came back.

After Lin Miaomiao checked in, Lu Yanhe helped her carry the suitcase to the second floor, and then Lu Yanhe asked, "Aren't you going to Baichuan to meet your friends?"

"I've met them, so I came here to play with you." Lin Miaomiao said.

Lu Yanhe said: "I'm here to work. I have another day of filming tomorrow and will go back in the evening."

Lin Miaomiao nodded and said: "Then I'll go back with you. Are you unhappy to see me here?"

"I'm not unhappy, just a little confused."

"Then you don't have to be confused now." Lin Miaomiao asked, "Is there anything to eat nearby? I want to eat something and I'm hungry."

Lu Yanhe said: "There seems to be a restaurant on the way back just now."

"Then let's go eat together." Lin Miaomiao said, "I'll treat you."

Lu Yanhe said: "I can go with you, but I don't want to eat. I've already eaten with them."

"You've already eaten ?” Lin Miaomiao sighed, “Forget it, I won’t eat either.”

“Huh?” Lu Yanhe looked at Lin Miaomiao in confusion, “Didn’t you say you were hungry just now?”

“You don’t want to eat, but you just watch me eat. It’s boring for me to eat alone.” Lin Miaomiao said, “Forget it, let’s go to bed first. It’s late. I’ll get up early tomorrow to have breakfast. What time do you usually get up?”

“Me? I got up at six o’clock for a morning run.”

“Six o’clock?” Lin Miaomiao looked at him in shock, “Why do you get up so early?”

“Morning run.”

Lin Miaomiao took a deep breath, “Okay, I get it.”

She waved her hand, carried the suitcase into her room, and closed the door.

Lu Yanhe returned to his room.

After a while, Xin Zixing sent a message: Young man, sister reminds you, don’t play with fire. (End of this chapter)
