In the business car, the staff member named Pan Pan perfectly demonstrated his social characteristics and never stopped talking. Listening to his interesting and vivid explanation, the four-hour car journey was not boring at all.

The recording location of Rural Life Diary is Qianjia Village in a mountain valley in Sichuan Province. Pan Pan said that not even every household there has electricity. The program crew put together seven acceptable houses and added some things into them, otherwise the guests would definitely not be able to live in them. But it still looks very miserable, which is a disguised program effect.

The chief of Qianjia Village was initially very resistant to the program crew coming to film. The producer spent a lot of money and used rhetoric that had a great chance of helping them get rich to win over the village chief.

The program is broadcast daily and is mainly available on small platforms, so there is no need to be too particular about it.

The staff had already decided to take advantage of Yi Jie's popularity. Since it was summer vacation, they would do as much work as possible and not waste any money... Oh no, any material.

Among the seven guests, only Yi Jie was relatively famous, while the others were all unknown in the entertainment industry, and Yi Jie didn't know any of them.

The two actors, Guo Sheng and Xiang Zhaozhao, are a male actor in his thirties and a fledgling 24-year-old female actress.

The three singers, Xu Guanyu, Yu Mo, and He Lianxin, two men and one woman, are all third-rate young singers who debuted through talent shows.

The last talk show host, Peng Chang, is in his forties and is the oldest person in the team.

In this way, Yi Jie is still the youngest sister, but she is the only one who is well-known.

Not knowing whether they could get along well or not, Yi Jie leaned her head on the car pillow and guessed who her partner would be for the next fifteen days.

"Teacher Yi, after you get off the car, you will go to where the artists live. I will show you the way. Your assistant needs to live with our staff, is that okay? Because the recording of the program will begin from the moment you enter the room. I sent you the specific recording regulations a few days ago. Do you remember them?" Pan Pan asked cautiously, fearing to annoy Yi Jie. After all, she would have to face the hard life in the future alone, so it was normal to have emotions.

"It's okay, I understand." Yi Jie smiled slightly, and Pan Pan was very excited. This was the most amiable and beautiful star he had ever seen. She was not like some people in the entertainment industry who acted like they were worth a fortune and really thought they were important people.

After passing through countless winding mountain roads, the car finally stopped. Yi Jie and Pei Yanan exchanged glances for a few seconds. After nodding, she got out of the car and was led by Pan Pan towards the gathering place of the artists.

What you see is a sparse number of houses, with original loess walls and thatched roofs everywhere. Occasionally, a red brick house is considered a wealthy house in the village. No wonder it is difficult to achieve full electricity here, it is really poor.

Looking around, Yi Jie discovered that there were countless chili peppers hanging under the eaves of every household, and the color was a yellow that Yi Jie had never seen before.

"Huh? This pepper?" Yi Jie asked curiously.

"This is a specialty of their village, called Ma Jiao, which combines the numbing taste of Sichuan pepper and the spiciness of chili pepper. I've tried it these past few days and it's really satisfying. See if you can handle spicy food. If you can, you'll definitely like it. It's very fragrant when added to dishes."

Yi Jie murmured to herself that this was a good business opportunity. She would see if she could find a way to help the villagers sell their products in large quantities.

"It's very complicated here, how did you find it?" Yi Jie was quite puzzled.

"Actually, we got here through Shangyang Village next to Qianjia Village. Shangyang Village has more dealings with the outside world, and our staff bought their agricultural and sideline products and local specialties, and then transferred them here. Unexpectedly, they prohibited filming, so we had to settle for the next best thing and chose Qianjia Village next door." Pan Pan explained.

"Oh, so that's it. I guess Shangyang Village is not short of money, so they don't want to be affected." Yi Jie said thoughtfully.

"No, they are just ordinary rural people. Maybe there is a high degree of xenophobia in the village." Pan Pan could only say this. He could not find any other reason. In today's society, few people can't get along with money.

Yi Jie followed Pan Pan along the small paths in the village for a while. She didn't expect that the village was quite large. Although it was poor, yellow rice fields that were about to mature could be seen on both sides of the road from time to time. The rice seedlings were wavy in the breeze, which looked very pleasant.

"Teacher Yi, it's in this house. Let's start shooting before entering." Pan Pan pointed to the brick house in front of him.

Yi Jie heard some noisy conversations and the sound of moving equipment inside, and turned around to look at Panpan.

"Are all of them here?" If I were the last one to arrive, would I be accused of being a big shot as the youngest person? However, the production team only told me that I only needed to arrive today, so I shouldn't be misunderstood.

"No, no, the teacher hasn't come yet." Pan Pan has also participated in the production of several programs and understands the twists and turns between artists.

Yi Jie then walked in with confidence. If you haven't eaten pork, how can you not have seen pigs run? In the past, there were a lot of gossips in the entertainment industry about seniority, such as the order of arrival and standing positions. After this family quarreled, that family quarreled, so it was better to be cautious to avoid being criticized.

However, it can only be said that people who are popular in the entertainment industry are more likely to be hated. As soon as Yi Jie entered the room, she felt the two people's actual disdainful eyes. However, when the camera swept over, everyone had a friendly smile on their face. It seems that everyone in the entertainment industry can act.

Several cameras were pointed at Yi Jie at the same time, and the director began to speak.

"Teacher Yi is here, please take a seat."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yi Jie chose a nearby small stool and sat down.

Since everyone had not arrived yet, those present were just having preliminary and friendly exchanges, at least that's how it seemed on the surface. After all, everyone wants to leave a good impression when appearing in front of the camera.

"Hello, Yi Jie, I'm Yu Mo. I watched the entire Chinese Poetry Competition. You're amazing." The girl sitting next to Yi Jie was the first to greet Yi Jie.

Yi Jie matched the person in front of her with the photo on Weibo. The sincere light in the other person's eyes made her feel close to him. A smile appeared on her lips. "Hi, how are you? Thank you for the compliment."

Yu Mo's personality is inconsistent with her appearance. She looks like a cold and domineering lady, but she is actually quite straightforward.

She showed her liking for Yi Jie without any concealment and talked to Yi Jie about all sorts of things. Because of this, Yi Jie quickly adapted to the new environment and had a great time talking to her.

"As soon as Yi Jie came, Yu Mo forgot about us. His mind and eyes were only on her." An unharmonious voice sounded.

The girl in a little dress and delicate makeup covered her mouth and laughed, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Yi Jie didn't know whether she said this intentionally or unintentionally, but it did put Yu Mo in an awkward situation.

"No, no, I was too obsessed with the Chinese Poetry Competition some time ago, and I couldn't stop talking about it." Yu Mo touched the back of his head and smiled innocently.

"Zhao Zhao, please understand. All star-chasers are like this, they are quite crazy. Unlike us who are unknown and no one knows us." The man sitting on the rattan chair waved a palm-leaf fan and laughed at himself.

"No, no, it's the Chinese Poetry Competition that's well done. I believe that Sister Yumo will warmly entertain any contestant who comes. And you are all my predecessors, and I still have a lot to learn." Yi Jie quickly and modestly responded to the man's words that added fuel to the fire. Not to mention that she is not a star. His last sentence slapped the faces of the others present, and everyone's faces were obviously not looking good.

Doesn't this mean that except for Yi Jie, everyone else in the entertainment industry is invisible? You can't let others make enemies for you in vain.

"Yi Jie is still a little sister, Lian Xin, please stop making fun of her." The middle-aged man with a resolute face sitting in the first seat tried to smooth things over. Yi Jie had an impression of him. He was the actor Guo Sheng. He had appeared in the anti-Japanese war movies that her grandfather had seen.

He Lianxin still gave face to his senior and did not say anything else.

The director looked at the artists' different thoughts in the camera and felt secretly delighted. Here came the conflict and the topic was guaranteed.

The principle that Xiang Zhaozhao and He Lianxin believed in was that they didn't care about anything. They were still popular even if they were criticized. They were not happy that they were outshined by a 16-year-old girl. They felt even more unbalanced after learning that the program team treated Yi Jie as a heavyweight guest. Compared with the others, they were somewhat famous. One played the fourth female role in a popular idol drama, and the other had a fairly famous masterpiece. However, the song was popular, but the person was not.

They originally wanted to use this program to stir up the heat, but they didn't expect that Yi Jie, who suddenly appeared, would steal everyone's attention. They didn't intend to hide their emotions. They wanted to make her famous first, and then they would say whatever they wanted. After a while, when they had the resources, they could buy some press releases and change their image, and everyone would forget about the past. The audience's memory has always been like this. Besides, it's not certain whether Yi Jie will be as popular as she is now. If not now, when will they take advantage of her?

A fool like Yu Mo, chasing after Yi Jie will only make Yi Jie's light completely overshadow her, and she will never be able to stand out from the circle. It would be better for her to be a bad guy.

The atmosphere was a bit dull from the conversation just now. Yu Mo was afraid that he would be brought up again, so he just stared at the wooden beam above his head in a daze.

Yi Jie was doing nothing and writing math problems with pebbles on the ground. She had nothing to do anyway.

"Everyone is here. I'm late and my plane is delayed." A sturdy middle-aged man wearing casual sportswear walked into the room and said in a cheerful voice.

Yi Jie stood up with everyone else and saluted, "Hello, Brother Chang."

Peng Chang waved his hand in an approachable manner, "No, no, no, come and sit down. Just treat me as your brother. Although I am not young anymore, my mentality is still that of an 18-year-old. Don't call me brother, let alone uncle! Otherwise, I will get angry with you!"

Everyone laughed at the same time. Mr. Peng Chang is indeed a talk show host and has his own comedic effect.

Seeing that everyone was present, the director clapped his hands and officially announced that the show would begin.

A staff member came forward and took out a bamboo tube with several long bamboo sticks inside.

"Now we take turns to draw lots to decide which house we will live in. You will live in whichever house you draw, and you cannot regret it. You can add things to the house yourself later, and the production team will not help you."

After looking at each other, the guests suggested to Zhao Zhao, "Let's draw in order of age." She was in the middle of the pack and would not take the leftovers from others, so she should not be so unlucky.

Yu Mo, who was about to use rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of the drawing, did not speak because she saw Peng Chang walking towards the bamboo tube with a smile.

"Then I'll take advantage of my age this time. I'm still eighteen after drawing the lot."

Yi Jie didn't have any thoughts about automatically being ranked last. It was a matter of probability, not whoever drew the first prize would get a good house. She was confident that she could make her room beautiful. She had watched so many rural handicraft bloggers' videos for a good reason.

The guests were all working hard to make the show look good, as if they were going to win some big prize. Some were praying, some were worshipping Buddha, some were mumbling, and there was nothing wrong with that. Yi Jie just watched them perform and tried to get the spotlight, which was understandable.

There was only one bamboo stick left in the bamboo tube. Yi Jie pulled it out directly. There was a number 3 written on the end of the stick in red pen.

"The numbers above represent the house numbers where you live. Teachers, please find them on your own."

The guests couldn't contain their curiosity and came out of the house with their cameras.

Yi Jie walked slowly behind. She came back this time just to take a vacation and experience the country life from all angles. The house was there anyway, so it didn't matter whether she saw it early or late.

"Yi Jie, you walk so slowly. Aren't you curious about where you live?" Yu Mo ran over from the front and walked side by side with her.

"The results are already decided, there's no point in being anxious."

"Yeah, I drew 2, what about you?" Yu Mo said thoughtfully.

"The person behind you, maybe we are neighbors." Yi Jie showed her her bamboo stick.

"That's great, I can play with you every day in the future." Yu Mo was really happy. Compared with other guests, she felt that Yi Jie was more real and at least she would not play tricks.

"Sure." Yi Jie also hoped for this result. In their first meeting just now, Yu Mo left her with the best impression. The rest remains to be seen.

"2, 2, 2, where is it?" The two walked for a while but still didn't see any house with obvious signs.

"Hey, is there a small flag over there?" Yi Jie glanced at a small piece of yellow cloth fluttering in the wind behind a small mound of earth.

"It seems so. Let's go and take a look." Yu Mo pulled Yi Jie and ran forward.

"3! It's your house!" Yu Mo said in surprise after seeing it clearly.

But when she saw the house clearly, her tone took a sharp turn.

"Ah? How can people live here?"

What she saw before her was a thatched hut that couldn't even be called a sound house. How should I put it? Yi Jie felt that it looked a bit like a cowshed.

It's a bit unlucky. Yi Jie touched her nose and pushed open the half-person-high door under Yu Mo's sympathetic gaze.

There is everything you need inside, including a bed, a table, a chair, and a small stove.

As for the toilet, Yi Jie looked outside and saw a small thatched house not far away. It should be the toilet. Well, at least it can isolate the smell.

The environment with air leaks on all sides seems to be the first project I need to solve.

"It's okay. Everything you need is here. You can change it slowly when the time comes. Go and take a look at yours." Yi Jie patted Yu Mo's shoulder.

"You have a really good attitude. I would go crazy if I were you." Yu Mo gave her a thumbs up.

After walking around the small hill and half a circle, I saw House No. 2.

The simple wooden house was not very good, but it was a paradise compared to Yi Jie’s cowshed. At least it could shelter from the wind and rain.

"Sleep with me before your house is ready, otherwise you will catch a cold in the rain and wind." Yu Mo said directly to Yi Jie.

Yi Jie thought about it for a while and agreed. It was indeed not very safe to live in front of a house without a good wall.

"I'll cook for you tonight! My cooking skills are just so-so." Yi Jie said gratefully.

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't know how to cook, so I plan to go to the villagers' homes for dinner tonight, hehe." Yu Mo nodded happily.

Different from the warm atmosphere on Yi Jie's side, the two guests at the end of the village were arguing fiercely.
