The longed-for village system

Chapter 123 The rest of my life

A family reunion naturally involves eating and drinking. Fortunately, thanks to yesterday's drinking experience, Zhao's father helped Chen Qing avoid it, so Chen Qing only drank two cans of beer in the end.

After finishing the dinner and answering the phone, Sun Xiaoxiao went to her cousin Zhao Xiaogu's side and whispered, "It's a call from your company, Douyin. They want you and your brother-in-law to send a video, or better yet, do a live stream."

Zhao Xiaogu naturally understood Douyin's thinking. Today, many media outlets wanted to interview them after they registered for their marriage. If Douyin had an exclusive interview at this time, it would be a good opportunity for Douyin to attract traffic.

"Brother Chen?"

Zhao Xiaogu did not make a decision immediately, but left the decision-making power to Chen Qing. She understood that she was already married and that some things had to be decided by the men in her family.

"I feel that live streaming is not very convenient. If possible, let's just shoot a short video and upload it! After all, they are our sponsors, so we should give them some face."

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment before making a decision, but of course, he didn't decide immediately that it should be done this way, and he also gave Zhao Xiaogu room for discussion.

"Yeah! I also think live streaming isn't very convenient. Let's do as you said, Brother Chen, and shoot a video to upload." Zhao Xiaogu nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Qing's explanation, and then pondered, "What should we shoot? Just a simple introduction?"

Zhao Xiaogu felt that this was too monotonous, especially since everyone had already accepted their status as a couple, so there was no need for this introduction. She turned her gaze to the man beside her, her eyes full of anticipation.

With a man this talented, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to write a song and sing it together!

Chen Qing could tell what Zhao Xiaogu was thinking just by looking at her eyes. He reached out and gently patted her head, saying affectionately, "Wait for me."

Seeing her cousin's blissful expression, Sun Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably envious. This must be what a woman who marries for love should look like!

"Sister, you're becoming more and more like a woman. This is the first time I've seen you like this. The power of love is truly great," her younger brother, Zhao Jianfei, remarked.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How am I not a woman?"

Zhao Xiaogu rolled her eyes at her younger brother. She was a goddess to the masses, a Golden Eagle Award goddess, for goodness' sake! How was she not womanly? Didn't she see how much her man doted on her?

Zhao Jianfei really wanted to say something to refute his sister's words, but seeing that his sister had also gotten up and left, he didn't go up to bother her anymore.

An hour later, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu left the room and found Sun Xiaoxiao to help them film a video. However, this time they could only use their phones to add the voiceover without the aid of musical instruments, which took Chen Qing more than ten minutes.

With everything ready, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu found a well-lit spot to start recording. The adults who were chatting nearby joined in the fun.

Previously, they had only heard their own children say that Chen Qing was a singer who was very good at songwriting and singing. However, seeing is believing, so now they could listen to him and verify it.

"Hello everyone, today is the day Xiao Chen and I registered our marriage. We would like to thank you all for your blessings. The song we are about to sing is a new song that Xiao Chen just wrote. The song is called 'The Rest of Our Lives'."

Zhao Xiaogu began her introduction to the camera, then nodded to Chen Qing to indicate that she was ready.

Find the sun where there is no wind.

Make the sunshine where you stand still

Personnel changes
You're always so naive.

The rest of my life
I only want you
Although Zhao Xiaogu doesn't have superb singing skills, she focuses on emotional investment. You can see the deep love and admiration in her eyes when she looks at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing, of course, needed no further introduction. Her "Heavenly Voice" skill was activated, resulting in a phenomenal performance. The two sang together, their gazes locked in a sweet and tender moment. The simple lyrics deeply moved everyone in the audience, especially the older generation who felt the song was truly beautifully written, capturing the essence of true love.

For the rest of my life

The wind and snow are you
Plainness is you
Poverty is also you

Glory is you
The gentleness in my heart is you
What the eyes see

It's you too.

This is the true nature of love, not the saying that couples are like birds in the same forest, flying away separately when disaster strikes. This generation of couples has held hands and gritted their teeth to get through it all together.

It's truly commendable that a young person can see through the difficulties together, as they can share both wealth and hardship. It seems Xiao Gu has excellent judgment.

"Holy crap! My brother-in-law is amazing! He can write a song like this in just one hour. I thought it was all just for the show!" Zhao Jianfei exclaimed in shock.

He personally witnessed his brother-in-law and sister going into the house to write songs, and they came out in just one hour. There's no faking it.

"You're making a fuss over nothing. Our Brother Chen is amazing! You better take the picture properly, or you're dead meat," Sun Xiaoxiao threatened her cousin.

Zhao Jianfei knew what was going on when he saw his cousin's infatuated expression. There were just too many brainless fans these days. Wasn't it supposed to be that good looks were everything in this era? He was a bit more handsome than his brother-in-law, wasn't he?

When the song ended, everyone applauded and cheered enthusiastically. Afterwards, the adults continued their casual conversation, while the younger generation gathered around Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu to chat and watch video clips.

The video was quickly completed under the editing of Zhao Jianfei, a professional. The two watched it once and were very satisfied. Then Zhao Xiaogu took Chen Qing's phone and uploaded the video.

The result was obvious: the video immediately sparked heated discussions and was widely shared, and the song quickly became a hit on Douyin (TikTok).

"She's truly a woman who married for love! The sweetness is practically overflowing the screen. But I have to admit, Little Chen's talent is truly extraordinary; this song is brilliantly written!"

"This happy little woman is now inexplicably a bit envious of Xiao Gu. Look at my husband!"

"Happy marriage to our goddess! Little Chen, please take good care of our goddess. Also, this song is amazing. Five stars is the most I can give."

"This is the beauty of love! Whether rich or poor, simple or plain, it's all you. This song is going to be a hit, another perfect wedding song."

"It's bound to be a hit. Isn't the song written by our Brother Chen popular now? Just open any music platform and at least three of the top ten songs are written by our Brother Chen."

"I'm looking for a girl to sing 'The Rest of My Life' with me. If I can't find one, I'll ask again later."

Seeing everyone's blessings, comments, and high praise for the song, Zhao Xiaogu was overjoyed. She even thought about whether she should release an album, or even a single.

After spending two days at Zhao Xiaogu's parents' house, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu took a plane back to Xishuangbanna on the morning of the third day. Although Zhao's parents wanted the two to stay a few more days, they knew that young people's work was important, so they repeatedly told Chen Qing to come back and visit whenever he had time.

Although Zhao Xiaogu still had a holiday, she was already married and naturally followed Chen Qing back home in the bliss of newlywed bliss.
