Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

"How would I know."

Aunt Da gave her own daughter a look at an idiot: "Listen to him boast; only a real fool would believe it......."

"Fine, I'm an idiot."

The female cousin's ears turned red, and she shyly closed her mouth.

—

"Striking the bamboo clappers, clappers striking, I'll recite a section of fast clapper talk for you to listen to."

"Speaking of Shandong, speaking of Shandong, there are countless stories of Shandong."

"There are so many specialty foods; I'll take you running all over the place."

"Tai'an Dongping's tofu skin, Qingdao's draft beer is truly refreshing."

"Jinan's sweet porridge with braised pork, Dazeshan's grapes are never enough."

"Our Linyi's pancakes, Zhangqiu's scallions, Dezhou's Braised Chicken is the most authentic."

"Laiyang's pears are sweet and fragrant; if you want apples, you still have to look at Qixia......."

In the yard, Da Yifu came as soon as he said he would, striking the bamboo clappers, speaking with great emotion and expression.

"Good!"

One section ended, and the yard erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Uncle Liu is too great, you're a professional......."

The assistant director pointed at the Cameraman, shamelessly flattering: "Could you say it once more for us, so Li Ge can record it for you."

"No problem."

Da Yifu loved liveliness; the more people, the more excited he was. He agreed so readily it was indescribable: "Say it as many times as you want; you want to listen, there are others too—Eighteen Sorrows, Linglong Tower, Wu Song Fights the Tiger; I'll just open my mouth and come out with it."

"Come a few more sections closer to ordinary people's lives, suitable for Documentary filming, full of positive energy; they'll sound more captivating."

Director Du is indeed a director, very dedicated; every three words he doesn't leave the Documentary.

"Fine."

Da Yifu went along with his thoughts, flourishing a section of bamboo clappers as an opening remark.

The cheerful and bright rhythm instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The Small Courtyard quieted down again; the Cameraman got ready and gave Da Yifu a gesture to start.

Da Yifu understood, striking the bamboo clappers with even more vigor.

—

"Strike the bamboo clappers like this; we won't boast about anything else, let's boast about family harmony being top-notch; elders above, children below, running around the stove every day, the stove turning and turning, busy, the whole family happy and content."

"Strike the bamboo clappers like this; we won't boast about anything else, let's boast about neighborly relations being top-notch; the eastern family borrows, the western family returns; your family has trouble, I help; my family has matters, you Backing."

"Strike the bamboo clappers like this; we won't boast about anything else, let's boast about social progress being top-notch; tall buildings rise from the ground, carriages and horses busy; technology changes daily and monthly, social progress flies; everyone works together, creating a beautiful future........"

"Good!"

"Uncle Da is great, yay yay yay......."

The words hadn't fallen when the Small Courtyard erupted in thunderous cheers again; Lin Xiyu's paternal half-brother Xu Yi danced happily, shouting with his small voice especially Loud.

"Good relations between left and right neighbors—what's so good about that? Didn't they just fight?"

The female cousin felt this section wasn't as pleasant as the previous one; from behind the Curtain, she muttered darkly: "Zhang Dafen's sister-in-law is at home, she didn't even have the face to come out and join the excitement......."

"You child, what a big mouth you have; be careful someone hears you."

Aunt Da listened with displeasure, glared with both eyes, and lectured her again.

"Ptooey......."

The female cousin stuck out her Tongue in dissatisfaction.

Aunt Da's temper flared; she was about to blow up when Lin Xiyu's mother tugged her arm, signaling her not to be angry with the child.

"As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor."

Aunt Da suppressed her temper, changed her Strategy, and reasoned with her daughter: "Just like Huang Daye; he has no children by his side, and all his after-death affairs are handled by your Uncle helping to arrange them; counting on that little maternal uncle of his family, who knows when it will be dragged to."
