Chapter 5 — Every Day Waking Up With You
The next day, I grabbed my camera and ran throughout the village. Filming Mrs. Truong mending shoe soles, Uncle Ly weaving bamboo baskets, and the children chasing the tractor like bees in a hive. The best scene was when filming Aunt Vuong making pork. As soon as I panned the lens into the barn, a 200-pound fat pig screamed and ran out to chase me around the village. Ammunition laughed until tears flowed: 【Help! This is a rural comedy, right?!】 【Pre-order electronic pickles to eat with this video tape!】 The day the tape was sent, Hooc Tran rode his bicycle to take me to the district post office. I carefully sealed the completed magnetic tape into the box and sealed it carefully. On the way home, I somehow got excited, I leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek: "You treat me so well!" Hooc Tran's hand jerked and he almost rode his bike into a ditch. The bullets were in chaos: 【Aaaaaaa it's so sweet that it makes my teeth fall out!!】 【Hoo Tran: What should I do if my wife knows how to flirt too much?!】 Half a month later, the sound of drums resounding like thunder suddenly exploded throughout the village. The village secretary rushed to the gate of the house, holding the newspaper, out of breath: "On... on TV!" It turns out that the TV station not only broadcast the tape, but also edited it into a whole new series of programs — "Countryside Diary"! That evening, the whole village crowded into my yard, surrounding the black and white television. On the screen, I was chasing a big goose, eventually falling into the mud, and then being lifted up with one hand by Huo Tran — making the whole yard laugh like thunder. 8 At noon, I was squatting in the yard to feed the chickens, when the village secretary rushed in, his face red, waving the newspaper: "Miao Mieu! Great news!" “The provincial television station saw your program on TV and wanted to come for an interview!” I was so surprised that I dropped a handful of corn, the seeds scattered all over the ground: "Interviewing... you?" Hooc Tran came out of the house: "What's going on?" The secretary immediately recounted the story, rubbing his hands and excitedly: "Tomorrow they will come! This is an opportunity to promote our village!" After the secretary left, I was somewhat worried and looked at Hoo Tran to suggest: "If you don't like it... I will refuse immediately." Hoo Tran shook his head: "If you like, just do it." He hesitated for a moment, then added: "But..." "But what?" — I asked cautiously. “Don't wear that off-the-shoulder dress.” — He said with a serious face. I laughed out loud, oh my god, this jar of vinegar! The bullet burst into laughter: 【Oh my god, you have max level!】 【Hoo Tran: My wife only let me see!】 The next day, the provincial television station actually came - bringing a lot of equipment and crew. The director was a young girl with a ponytail. As soon as she saw me, she shook my hand enthusiastically: "Miss Ha! Our station director really likes your program and wants to invite you to do a separate column!" I'm still confused: "Which category...?" The director pulled out a small notebook and excitedly said: "Those are the parts where she drives a tractor, chases geese, and even the scene of wading in the river to catch fish! It's causing a stir right now!" The recording session went very smoothly. I took the whole team around the vegetable garden and fish pond, and also demonstrated how to feed the chickens. Hoo Tran stood outside the camera from beginning to end, quietly observing. Halfway through filming, the director suddenly asked: "Miss Ha, can we film more scenes of you and Mr. Hoac working in the fields?" I turned to look at Hoac Tran. He nodded slightly, put down the work in his hand and walked away arrive. "Mr. Hoac, can you show your wife how to hold a hoe?" He took the hoe and gave it to me: "Hold it like this." His hand covers mine, guiding little by little. My heart immediately started pounding, I almost... threw the pickax away. Bullets were flying: 【AAAAA tutoring!!!】 【Mieu Mieu is blushing, blushing!】 After filming, the director quietly pulled me aside: "Miss Ha, our station wants to invite you to do a permanent "Rural Life" column, one episode every week, what do you think?" I was about to answer, when suddenly I noticed Ha Phi Phi and Chu Loi Dan standing not far away, their eyes dark as the rain, fixed in this direction. The director looked in my direction, surprised: "Those two people are...?" I smiled: "My sister. It's okay, let's continue." After signing the contract and sending the group back, Hoac Tran asked: "Is it all done?" I nodded: "Film once a week, they pay you a salary." In the evening, I sat under the light studying the contract when I saw Hoac Tran carrying a basin of warm water into the room. “It's hot.” He squatted down and gently pressed my feet into the basin of water. I reflexively curled my toes: "I can do it myself..." He raised his head to look at me, his voice low: "You've been tired all day, don't move." The water is both warm and pleasant. His large hand gently massaged my ankle, making me so comfortable that I closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. 9 After my rural program was broadcast, the number of viewers increased rapidly and the program became famous nationwide. Every day, I receive tons of letters from everywhere, even agricultural companies invite me to be a brand representative. That evening, I sat in the yard tearing letters, while Hoc Tran returned from the granary, his face unusually serious. "What's up?" — I put the letter down and looked at him worriedly. He squatted in front of me and took out a bunch of keys: "The spare key to the rice warehouse... is gone." I was startled: "Did I drop it somewhere?" Hoo Tran shook his head: "It's still hanging on the office wall. I checked today and couldn't find it anymore. Obviously someone took it." The bullet gave an urgent warning: 【It's Ha Phi Phi! It's her!】 【She's planning to... burn down the granary!】 I immediately stood up: "I know who it is!" Hoo Tran frowned: "Who is it?" “He Phi Phi and Zhou Limin!” — I spoke so fast that my tongue was slurred. “They definitely want to play tricks!” Hoac Tran's eyes darkened, without saying a word, he turned and ran away. I quickly chased after him: "Wait for me!" It was late at night, the surrounding grain warehouse was dark and eerily quiet. Hoo Tran pulled me to hide behind a pile of grass and lowered his voice: "Don't speak up." We waited for nearly an hour, until my legs were numb, and finally we saw a shadow of a person stealthily appear at the side of the warehouse. It's Ha Phi Phi! Her hand held the set of keys and gently opened the lock, looking extremely alert. The scary thing is - I'm still carrying a can of kerosene in my hand! The bullets exploded in horror: 【She really dared to do it!!!】 【Burning a granary is a serious crime! I'm going to jail!】 Hooc Tran held my hand tightly and signaled: "Don't move." Then, he silently walked around to the other side, just as Ha Phi Phi opened the warehouse door, preparing to pour kerosene, when— “Crap!” — the flashlight shines brightly in the darkness. “Ah—!!!” Ha Phi Phi screamed, startled and dropped the oil bottle to the ground. Immediately, several people were waiting rushed out in the darkness, surrounding her tightly. The village secretary was so angry that he was shaking: "Ha Phi Phi! Are you crazy?! This is the food of the whole village!!" Ha Phi Phi's face was as pale as paper. He suddenly pointed at me and shouted: "It's her fault! It's all her fault! If it weren't for her stealing everything from me... why would I be like this!" “Shut up!” An ice-cold shout from Hoac Tran made her tremble. He stepped forward, his tall body like a wall under the moonlight: "Last time you spread nonsense rumors, I respected Mieu Mieu without calculation. But this time..." "This time I have to hand it over to the police!" — The village secretary shouted loudly. “This crime means going to jail!”
