Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Facing Wang Xiaohua's promise, Wu Jihong still hesitated somewhat.

Mainly because she had already failed for many years; her subconscious first reaction was that she would mess it up.

She was afraid of this and afraid of that.

She had many excuses.

She had to take care of the child, cook, do this and that — so much work she could never finish it all; how could she go shoot short videos?

However!

Deep down she actually really wanted to get this assistance from Wang Xiaohua!

Because included in this assistance Wang Xiaohua gave was a mobile phone!

Her mobile phone fell into water while she was doing laundry not long ago; she took it for repair but it couldn't be fixed, so she actually really needed a new phone!

So in the end she still agreed:

"Alright then, I'll try doing it."

Wang Xiaohua immediately laughed happily:

"Very good, you've already taken the first step; as long as you're willing to take the first step, I believe with your learning ability, you'll be able to achieve a certain degree of success very soon!"

Then Wang Xiaohua handed over the set of filming equipment he had brought to Wu Jihong:

"Ms. Wu, this set of filming equipment is for you; let me clarify in advance — this phone, the phone stand, the filming materials, etc., you only have the right to use them, not ownership; I'll make regular return visits, and you must produce at least three videos over three minutes long per week; if you can't meet this requirement, I'll take the whole set back."

Wu Jihong was stunned for a moment, her face showing a trace of complexity:

"So it's like that..."

Actually she just wanted that phone.

Wang Xiaohua had long since seen through Wu Jihong's thoughts; before coming here he already knew Wu Jihong's phone was broken, which was why he specially bought a domestic phone costing around one thousand yuan to induce Wu Jihong.

Without this phone, Wu Jihong probably wouldn't have agreed to shoot videos for him; even if she agreed, she would only have done it perfunctorily.

There are many types of impoverished households: some impoverished due to disability, some due to laziness, and then there's the type like Wu Jihong, impoverished because their spirit has been exhausted.

This last type is the easiest to lift out of poverty.

As long as you help them find their spirit again, they'll definitely be able to get back on the right track of life.

Wang Xiaohua then reminded her:

"This phone is best used only for shooting videos; of course making calls and such is fine too, but you absolutely must not let your kids use it to play games; if I discover game apps installed on the phone, I'm telling you the ugly truth upfront — I'll take the phone back too."

Wu Jihong hurriedly said:

"Rest assured, I've never let my kids touch phones, let alone play games!"

Then she asked:

"Are there any other requirements for shooting videos? What if I keep shooting but can't produce any results?"

Wang Xiaohua comforted her:

"Rest assured, for now I have no requirements for you; no matter how much playback volume, no matter how much revenue, I won't set any targets for you; after all you're a beginner, the videos you shoot at first probably won't have good results, but I believe as long as you're willing to put your mind to it, you'll definitely be able to earn money in short videos one day!"

Wu Jihong still wasn't very confident in herself:

"Can I really do it?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"You definitely can!"

Then he opened Douyin on his phone and pulled up some creators he followed:

"Look at this one — both hands broken, yet still shoots short videos just fine, even became a poverty alleviation representative; and this one, also a rural woman, also has several kids, she even raises a cow..."

"Her cow is so skinny..." Wu Jihong's focus was actually on the cow.

Wang Xiaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"She feeds the cow dish soap water every day — how could it not be skinny? Never mind that cow; you just need to know that in this short video era, anyone can post videos on it, anyone has the opportunity to get traffic and then monetize that traffic! As long as you put your heart into it, you'll definitely achieve some results; I can't guarantee great wealth, but two to three thousand yuan a month is still very easy to get your hands on!"

Wu Jihong nodded:

"Alright then, I'll study it carefully, and then..."

But Wang Xiaohua interrupted her:

"Don't study — just get hands-on, shoot first, take action, then gradually improve; I'm afraid the more you study, the more you'll feel this is complicated, don't think about anything, just get moving and do it first!"

Wu Jihong said:

"Okay then, I'll start shooting tomorrow!"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Just shoot your daily life — whatever you do each day, shoot that; if you can't write copy at first, you can ask me, I'll help you out when I have time; come on, you can do it!"

Wang Xiaohua said many encouraging words to Wu Jihong.

By the time he left Sanlian Village, it was already around six in the afternoon.

Riding the motorcycle back to town, it was already six-thirty.

Zhang Ruoshui had been squatting beside the town government entrance waiting for a long time; her legs were numb from squatting.

"Brother Xiao Hua!"

Seeing Wang Xiaohua, Zhang Ruoshui immediately stood up and waved.

Wang Xiaohua stopped the motorcycle and looked Zhang Ruoshui up and down:

"How did you end up like this? I almost didn't recognize you!"

Zhang Ruoshui placed her hands behind her back, smiling foolishly:

"Juan Jie took me to get it done. She said this way I could give you a surprise! Do you like it?"

Wang Xiaohua felt like crying and laughing at the same time inside.

Actually, it couldn't be called liking, but being a little moved was real.

After all, a woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her. The makeup Zhang Ruoshui put on, regardless of the effect, already showed her feelings.

"Have you eaten?"

Wang Xiaohua asked Zhang Ruoshui.

Zhang Ruoshui shook her head:

"Not yet!"

Then she busily took out quite a few local specialties from her backpack:

"Right, these are all for you. This, Yellow Eel Roasted Cake. This, Hankou's Jasmine Tea. And this..."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Why did you bring so much back? Is it heavy?"

Zhang Ruoshui said with a smile:

"It's okay. I bought whatever I saw you might like. They're all not expensive. Juan Jie paid my salary. I bought them with my own salary!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua's nose tingled slightly, and he was even more moved.

Actually, in this lifetime, to have someone thinking of you is already very good.

Should be content.

"Give me your backpack. Get in the car. I'll take you to eat!"

Wang Xiaohua wiped his nose, then hurriedly said this sentence.

"Okay! Thanks, Xiao Hua Ge!"

Zhang Ruoshui handed the backpack to Wang Xiaohua:

"There are still many specialties inside. Turning back I'll introduce them to you in detail! They're all local specialties, can't be bought elsewhere!"

Wang Xiaohua received the backpack, discovering it weighed at least ten-plus jin. This silly girl, still saying it's not heavy.

Wang Xiaohua brought Zhang Ruoshui to He Ji Restaurant at the street corner, ordered two dishes and one soup, then waited for the food to be served.

Because it's freshly stir-fried, and it happens to be dinner time, so the food might not come that fast.

The two first ate Yellow Eel Roasted Cake to pad their stomachs, eating while chatting.

"Xiao Hua Ge, do you like these specialties?"

Zhang Ruoshui asked with a smile.

Wang Xiaohua's eyes were full of emotion:

"Like! This roasted cake, quite delicious!"

At this moment Wang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something:

"Right, didn't you say before, wait for you to come back to watch a movie? How about after eating we go watch together?"

Zhang Ruoshui's face instantly flushed red with shame:

"This, really watch?"

Wang Xiaohua felt a bit baffled:

"What's wrong, don't want to watch? Didn't download it?"

Zhang Ruoshui hurriedly said:

"No no, want to watch. I downloaded it early on my laptop. The laptop is in the backpack... just, where to watch?"

Wang Xiaohua thought for a bit, then asked:

"Tomorrow do you want to go to my Eldest Sister-in-law's place? If going, later I'll book you a room at a hotel near this restaurant, then I'll send you up. After watching the movie in the hotel I'll leave. That way, tomorrow morning it's also more convenient for you to go to Guangzhou."

Zhang Ruoshui's face turned even redder:

"Okay okay, all up to Xiao Hua Ge your arrangements!"
