Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 238 Pastoral Goddess
Li Jiajia was seen wearing a pair of dark coarse cloth shorts with an ancient style, unlike the white dress in the video where she looked like a fairy growing in the countryside.
This light outfit that is convenient for work actually adds a sense of down-to-earth authenticity. She had just finished a big meal and still had the air of a workman. Her pretty face with a little makeup on was bright and attractive.
Strictly speaking, this was the second time Zhou Dongsheng met Li Jiajia. Since their last separation, the two had been in contact through social software, although he had always been the first viewer of the [Mu Ziqi] series of videos.
However, looking at people through the filter of the video naturally makes them look unreal. Now that they meet again, although the person is still the same person, his spirit and energy are completely new. He is completely different from the previously unconfident Li Jiajia, which makes Zhou Dongsheng's eyes light up slightly.
After all, since having Zhou Dongsheng as a solid backer, Li Jiajia's tight financial situation has not only been greatly alleviated, but it has also allowed Li Jiajia to calmly devote himself to video creation.
In addition, the content of the video creation is the pastoral life that Li Jiajia is good at and loves. Compared with working out of necessity to make a living, doing what you love is naturally a completely different expression of spirit.
Moreover, Zhou Dongsheng, in addition to strongly supporting her video creation, never interfered with her video creation. He completely let her create freely and only gave her some small suggestions occasionally.
In addition, he was very generous in donating money for her video creation, never stingy with the promised salary, and even took the initiative to give himself a raise...
What’s the difference between meeting such a good boss and pie falling from the sky?
While Li Jiajia was grateful, she also felt a surge of energy in her heart. She had no way to repay such a kindness, so she could only... devote all her energy to video creation.
I must make Mu Ziqi famous, so that I can live up to my boss's trust.
Therefore, this time when Zhou Dongsheng proposed to stay as a guest for a few days, Li Jiajia readily agreed, but at the same time, she felt a sense of secret joy that she could not explain in her heart.
The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other. Zhou Dongsheng said eagerly: "After watching so many videos, I finally have the opportunity to taste your cooking skills in person. To be honest, I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
Li Jiajia smiled and said, "As a big boss, you have eaten all kinds of delicacies. This is just an ordinary home-cooked meal. Don't be disappointed later."
While chatting and laughing, they walked into the inner room. An old lady with a kind face was already sitting at a simple wooden table. She looked at Zhou Dongsheng with a pair of eyes that had seen through the vicissitudes of life, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"The boy is so handsome!" The kind grandmother smiled.
Zhou Dongsheng also had some understanding of Li Jiajia's grandmother. The reason why Li Jiajia returned to her hometown to find a job was to take care of her elderly grandmother.
Because Li Ziqi was raised by her grandparents, and her grandfather passed away early, the importance of her grandmother to Li Jiajia is self-evident.
Zhou Dongsheng knows about Li Jiajia’s grandmother because she appears from time to time in the [Muziqi] video series and has inadvertently become one of the symbols of [Muziqi].
Therefore, when [Mu Ziqi] became famous both at home and abroad, a lot of pixel-level plagiarism also appeared overseas, trying to make profits by imitating [Mu Ziqi]'s video style, and even the key "grandma" role was not spared, which was ridiculous.
However, this pixel-level plagiarism also indirectly shows how great the influence of the [Muziqi] brand is overseas.
"Hello, grandma. This is my first time visiting you and I'm really sorry that I didn't bring you any gifts." Zhou Dongsheng greeted his grandmother politely, fully demonstrating the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
" Well, you just need to take good care of my girl. No gifts are needed." Grandma waved her hand and said with a smile.
Li Jiajia's face turned red, "Grandma! He is my boss, don't get me wrong."
Zhou Dongsheng said seriously: "No problem, grandma, I will definitely take good care of Jiajia."
It was the first time that the old and the young met, but they cooperated very well. As a result of their joint banter, Li Jiajia also blushed.
But after the joke, the atmosphere in the room became more harmonious, and there was constant laughter throughout the meal.
It has to be said that Li Jiajia's virtue is not only reflected in the video, her cooking skills also really whet Zhou Dongsheng's appetite.
It turns out that the color, aroma and taste are not just a video effect, but a real reflection of the product. After Zhou Dongsheng finished three big bowls of rice, he put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.
At the same time, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with heartfelt emotion: "They say that video effects are fake, and everything should be based on the real thing. After eating this meal today, I finally understand that the real thing is even better than the video effect!"
For a cook, there is no better compliment than having their food eaten up.
Before this, Li Jiajia was a little worried that the food would not suit Zhou Dongsheng's appetite. However, Zhou Dongsheng had a big appetite and drank three bowls of rice, which made Li Jiajia satisfied.
"Oh, they are all home-cooked meals. If you like them, you can come and visit us often." Li Jiajia said happily.
"Then I have to consider buying a piece of land in the village and settling down here, so that I can come here for meals every day." Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
Li Jiafeng glanced at the two people flirting and continued to eat his meal with full concentration.
After finishing the meal, she stood up very conspicuously and said, "Sister, I'll go wash the dishes. You guys go to the yard to have some tea."
"Okay, it's a wonderful thing to drink tea in your courtyard, and I happened to bring some tea with me." As a Chaoshan person, it makes sense for me to bring some tea with me when I go out, right?
"Then give me the tea leaves and I'll make tea." Li Jiajia said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll get it from my luggage." Zhou Dongsheng took out the tea from his luggage and handed it to Li Jiajia.
Then he took the initiative to help his grandmother walk to the courtyard to cool off, where there happened to be a square table for drinking tea and chatting.
The farmyard is full of flowers and green trees. Taking a deep breath will make you feel relaxed physically and mentally. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no car exhaust, and no urgent fast-paced life.
Suddenly slowing down the pace of life and emptying yourself for a short time is indeed a rare experience, and it may even give you the illusion of feeling good.
However, real pastoral life is far from as beautiful as the "spiritual utopia" presented in the video.
However, people always need a little poetry and distant places as spiritual support to dilute the drudgery of their current lives, and hope that one day they can realize the "life" they really want.
However, the present reality is the real life.
At this time, Li Jiajia came over with a teapot and poured the brewed rich tea into the teacup. The aroma of tea filled the air.
"Good tea!" Li Jiajia took a sip and said in surprise.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled but said nothing. After all, this tea was very valuable. As the saying goes, expensive things have no other disadvantages except being expensive, and the same is true in reverse.
Looking at some objects placed in the yard, Zhou Dongsheng asked curiously: "What are these?"
"This is the next video material I prepared, which uses ancient methods to restore the process of making the four treasures of the study ." Li Jiajia said enthusiastically.
