The longed-for village system

Chapter 39 Concert

Since both parents agreed, the younger generation naturally agreed as well. All they had to do was follow the two teachers and cheer them on.

“Okay, since everyone agrees, let’s hold a Mushroom House agricultural product promotion concert. Teacher He, you know a lot of people, so I’ll leave the invitation to you. The kids will be in charge of building the stage with the villagers.”

Once the matter was settled, Huang Shi immediately began assigning tasks to each person. Since the villagers had written to them for help, it meant that the matter was urgent.

The task of inviting people was left to Teacher He's headache, while the young people set off to the pineapple field to pick pineapples in the evening. Of course, Liu Shishi, Zhao Xiaogu, and the three girls also went along carrying baskets on their backs, although the three girls couldn't carry a full basket like Chen Qing and Peng Peng.

However, their numerical advantage was also evident. The three women were no less than the two men in one trip. In the end, they completed the director's task of collecting 210 pineapples in just one trip, and even had more than 30 extra grains.

This was the easiest and least strenuous episode out of all, which made Peng Peng constantly laugh at the production team for being "incompetent." With their little brother Chen around, it couldn't be more comfortable.

Of course, Lao Wang heard Peng Peng's mockery in the shed. He admired Chen Qing's bargaining skills, but they wouldn't give up so easily. As long as they didn't give up, there would always be a way to overcome difficulties.

Isn't Chen Qing good at bargaining? Then I'll raise the price several times over, and let him bargain as he pleases. I can't just give them a 20% or 30% discount!

Thinking of a solution, Lao Wang felt a surge of joy. Sure enough, it all came down to him; he was still at the top of the food chain in the Mushroom House.

At 8 p.m., everyone started serving the dishes. Thanks to everyone's help, Huang Shi finished the meal quite easily, and naturally, their dinner was served much earlier than usual.

"Everyone has worked hard. Welcome Shishi and Xiaogu to visit us."

Huang Shi was in a very good mood today. His back pain had not recurred since Chen Qing set his bones, and today was also a relaxed day. Although dinner was busy, he was able to relax a lot with everyone's help.

He usually has no appetite after cooking dinner in the kitchen, but this time he served himself more than half a bowl of rice and ate while chatting with everyone.

"Teacher He, how's the invitation going? Can you come?"

Teacher Huang's question is also the topic of greatest concern to everyone. This concert was held too hastily. You know, which popular artist doesn't run around in and out of the studio several times a day? Such a sudden invitation might not be able to free up their schedule.

"I invited several friends, and three of them have confirmed they can help. The remaining two are still adjusting their schedules and will give me a reply by tonight at the latest," Teacher He explained the situation. "By the way, one of the confirmed friends is your friend. Can you guess who it is?"

"My friends?" Huang Shi scrolled through his list of friends he had sung with, then guessed uncertainly, "Old Wolf?"

His guess was based on the fact that the wolf had visited the Mushroom House during the third season, so inviting him back was the most likely explanation.

"Teacher Huang is indeed Teacher Huang. This guess is wrong, but it's quite close. Keep guessing." Teacher He smiled and gestured for Huang Shi to continue.

Huang Shi hesitated slightly before confirming with Teacher He, "Is he someone who has been to our Mushroom House before? That's Shu Jun. He's one of the only two singer friends of mine who have been to the Mushroom House."

"Then why not Brother Jie?"

Teacher He, never one to shy away from trouble, immediately started digging a hole for Huang Shi. You know, Brother Jie had also been a guest at the Mushroom House and was a good friend of Huang Shi.

Teacher He's trap might be difficult for others, but it was far too easy for the old fox Huang Shi. It was no challenge for him at all, and he easily defused it.

"You're talking about my friend, not our mutual friend, so Brother Jie is naturally excluded."

Excluding his two friends, Lao Lang and Shu Jun, Huang Shi began to recall the singer friends who had visited in the previous three seasons. But only two of them had visited so far, it couldn't be Si Qing, could it? He knew that his friend was performing abroad these days.

"That's all! Only two of my singer friends have ever visited the Mushroom House." Huang Shi said, indicating that he was giving up guessing.

"Teacher Huang, think about it again, is there really nothing else?" Teacher He kindly reminded him, "Also, I didn't say that he is still active in the industry as a singer."

"Hey! You mean him!" Huang Shi immediately guessed who it was after Teacher He pointed it out. "You mean Brother Bo! I didn't expect him to come. That's great. We don't even have to cook dinner for our own brother."

Everyone laughed when they heard Huang Shi say that. The old fox was indeed an old fox; he even saved himself the trouble of saying that. Of course, they didn't really take it seriously.
