The longed-for village system

Chapter 29 New and Old Actresses

"Welcome to Shishi and Xiaogu, our guests." Huang Shi raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them. After everyone had taken a sip of their drinks, he continued, "Everyone, let's eat! This is the earliest lunch we've had at Mushroom House."

In the past, we would eat lunch after 1:30 p.m., but today we started eating right on time at 12 p.m. It's true that having an extra young worker makes a difference.

In his previous life, Liu Shishi was generally regarded as a goddess of elegance, refined and quiet, like a lady from a noble family. Now, seeing her like this, Ouyang Chenqing felt that she really was.

She speaks softly and eats slowly and deliberately; her beauty is truly captivating. This phrase perfectly describes her.

Zhao Xiaogu sat next to Chen Qing again this time. Seeing Chen Qing staring at Liu Shishi, she felt a pang of sadness for some reason.

Although Liu Shishi could joke around with her group of sisters in private, and they even called her "Master," she was generally intelligent and virtuous, with the demeanor of a well-bred lady. Such a woman is extremely attractive to men.

Haha! Men, they were just telling themselves they'd 'take over the fishpond'! Now they've set their sights on their best friends.

No one noticed Zhao Xiaogu's change in mind. The happiest moment after a busy morning was this moment, especially since Teacher Huang's cooking was so delicious, so they ate their fill first.

"That's great. This is how the film and television industry should be. Shishi and Xiaogu are the four little actresses, and my sister is also one of the new four little actresses. The quality of these three generations of actresses is very good. They have good looks and acting skills. The film and television industry is really getting better and better."

Looking at the three beautiful women in front of him, Huang Shi felt very gratified. Starting with Zhao Wei, one of the first generation of four little actresses, these actresses have all had excellent acting skills and good looks.

The second generation was also quite impressive, with some even surpassing their predecessors. Now, the third generation, all born in the 00s, has also shown solid acting skills.

This is a good sign for the film and television industry, and it's what he's happy to see. Unlike the music industry in the 90s, where there was fierce competition among many stars, how many of those emerging now are truly talented? They're all just popular celebrities.

He feels regretful and heartbroken whenever he sees news like this, wondering when the music industry became like this.
He found the song "You're So Beautiful, Chicken" utterly incomprehensible; the lyrics and melody were both rubbish. In the 90s, a song like that wouldn't have even made it onto the trending charts, let alone been considered a top hit.

In this day and age, a person's popularity leads to the song's popularity, rather than the other way around.

Liu Shishi and Zhao Xiaogu had different feelings about Huang Shi's remarks. They felt a sense of melancholy and even a feeling that a new generation was replacing the old.

They're getting old. These past few years they can still play leading roles in idol dramas, but in a few more years they'll only be able to play mothers or aunts for the post-00s generation of young actors. "Time flies! Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and we're all 30 years old now," Zhao Xiaogu couldn't help but sigh.

"What? Xiao Gu, you're 30 this year? I feel like you're only 25 or 26!"

He Jiong was also somewhat surprised by this. He really didn't expect Zhao Xiaogu to be 30 years old. But then he thought about it and realized that it really was about time. They had known each other for four years.

"Hehe! There's nothing I can do about being good-looking," Zhao Xiaogu said smugly.

Zhao Xiaogu, being an acquaintance, also started to become active. Zhao Xiaodao's influence became agitated, and Teacher He, who knew her well, decisively shut his mouth. He knew Zhao Xiaodao's ability to backstab, and even he was probably speechless.

Teacher He knew, but Teacher Huang didn't. As an elder, he kindly nagged, "You're thirty years old, not young anymore. Have you found a boyfriend yet? Why don't you try to find a husband on our show?"

"Teacher Huang! Didn't Teacher He say I look only twenty-five or twenty-six? I'm still young! No rush."

Zhao Xiaogu barely managed to hold back her words, but if it weren't for Huang Laoshi's status and the fact that they weren't very familiar with each other, she would definitely have retorted and thrown a few kitchen knives at him.

"That's thirty years old. Are you really only thirty?"

After a long pause, Chen Qing finally spoke, but his question was immediately met with a beautiful eye roll from Zhao Xiaogu.

It's no wonder he was taken aback, because he remembered that Zhao Xiaogu was born in 87 in his previous life. How come it's 90 in this world? Was her birthdate her phone password before?

"Huh? What did you say? Say it again if you dare."

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Xiaogu, Chen Qing realized he had misspoke. Women are extremely sensitive about age and appearance; he had only been surprised by the discrepancy between the two worlds.

"No, no, I just wanted to say that you're naturally beautiful and it's hard to hide it. At first glance, I'd think you were only eighteen or nineteen."
