Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 421 Return to Siyuan Village

After a call from Kong Lin, Zhou Hao had to change his original itinerary.

Originally, he planned to go back to his hometown and be idle for a few days. After all, he had hardly had any rest in the whole year, and it was rare for him to have a few days of leisure.

But now, even this little wish has been shattered.

After resting at home for a night, he took his parents back to his hometown.

After all, no matter how busy you are, you still have to go back to your hometown, as the fallen leaves return to their roots.

What's more, there are many gossipy people in the countryside. If you become famous and don't go home, you don't know what your relatives and friends will say about you.

On the day he returned home, almost half of the people in the village came and almost crowded Zhou's alley.

This is a star who has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala!

Alive, came out from our corner!

Even the city's local TV station came to do an interview, which was a disguised way of taking advantage of the popularity.

After all, there has never been any big star on this small island. Zhou Hao's level is unique among Scorpion Poop.

Seeing his darling grandson coming home, the old man was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth. He kept praising Zhou Hao for his promising future in various ways all day long... The old couple rolled their eyes at what they heard, but they could do nothing about it.

What can I do? He is indeed promising. He has even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, and he has more than one program...

Their little business is nothing in front of Zhou Hao.

When the old man received the gift from Xu Lingyue, he smiled so hard that his dentures almost fell out, he was so happy.

The only pity is that he didn’t get to see Xu Lingyue in person... Zhou Hao could only comfort him: Definitely next time.

Anyway, by the Chinese New Year next year, his marriage to Xu Lingyue would most likely have been settled, and it would be natural to bring her back to his hometown.

If I can't bring her back by then...I'm afraid this relationship will probably be in trouble.

After resting for only one night in his hometown, Zhou Hao was about to say goodbye and leave.

The old man was a little reluctant at first, but when he heard that Zhou Hao was going to report to CCTV to prepare for the Lantern Festival Gala, he immediately stopped talking and instead urged his grandson to go back quickly.

After having a hearty reunion dinner, Zhou Hao drove away alone.

However, his first goal was not to return to Yanjing, but to buy a bunch of things and go to Siyuan Village.

He hadn't been back to watch it for almost two years since he entered the entertainment industry, so it was time to go back and take a look.

After all, Siyuan Village has played an important role in promoting his current achievements.

After driving for nearly three hours, when he was about to enter familiar territory, the scene before him surprised him a little.

What’s going on? Why has this road become so smooth and clean?
Also, why do I feel like these old and dilapidated buildings on the roadside have been renovated and rebuilt?
Dazzled?
Or is there something wrong with my memory?

We drove along the smooth asphalt road straight to the entrance of Siyuan Village.

After finding a place to park the car, Zhou Hao called the old village chief.

As soon as the call was connected, Lao Yang's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "Teacher Zhou? Is that you?"

"Uncle Tiezhu, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Old Yang said in a high-pitched voice, "We were just discussing your performances on the Spring Festival Gala. They were so exciting!"

"Really? Then stop discussing this and get everyone to come out and help move the things."

There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone. "What?"

"Old village chief, I'm at the entrance of the village!" Zhou Hao said with a smile, "Hurry up and ask someone to help. I brought some things for the children."

The next second, Yang Tiezhu shouted in a trembling voice over the microphone, "Children, stop playing and hurry to the village entrance. Teacher Zhou is back!"

Then, there was a series of screams of surprise.

In less than ten minutes, a bunch of naughty kids ran out excitedly.

"Teacher Zhou——!!!"

"It's really Teacher Zhou!" "Wow--!!!"

Seeing these kids rushing towards him like crazy, Zhou Hao felt a little sad for some reason.

In the past two years, he has been surrounded by fans countless times, and has experienced all kinds of crazy cheering and screaming every now and then, but no matter how crazy they are, the touching feeling they bring cannot be compared to what he feels now.

The fastest child rushed over and hugged Zhou Hao's waist, while turning back and shouting, "It's Teacher Zhou, it's real!"

Zhou Hao was left in a state of confusion.

Then more and more children hugged him, almost forming a crowd of three layers inside and outside.

Looking up, I saw that the adults in the village had also followed out.

Some were still wearing aprons, some were still holding chopsticks, and some had even forgotten to put on their coats.

Looking around, almost everyone in Siyuan Village who could walk had come!
Zhou Hao opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a single word.

He choked up a little.

The old village chief Yang Tiezhu squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards Zhou Hao with big strides, "Teacher Zhou, welcome back!"

Looking at these simple and lovely people in front of him, Zhou Hao said with some shame: "I'm sorry, I came back late."

"It's not too late, not too late." Yang Tiezhu laughed and said, "As long as you are willing to come back, it's never too late. You will always be a member of our Siyuan Village!"

Zhou Hao nodded and picked up a little girl with a runny nose on the ground. "Excuse me, everyone. Please help me move the things in the car!"

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Tiezhu scolded, "Just come back, why bring so many things..."

"Uncle Tiezhu, stop complaining. These are not for you. They are all for the children." Zhou Hao said loudly, "The things in the car are all gifts for you. Everyone, help carry them. Be careful not to drop them!"

"Wow--!!!"

“There are gifts, there are gifts!”

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou!"

"Hurry up, I'll help!"

Dozens of children immediately became little ants and began to line up to help carry things.

It was only then that the villagers came up one after another to say hello.

"Teacher Zhou, thank you for your hard work."

"Teacher Zhou, have you eaten?"

"Teacher Zhou, I'm sorry to have cost you so much money."

"Teacher Zhou, the children are ignorant. We cannot accept this gift..."

The smile on Zhou Hao's face froze a little. He could clearly feel the sense of distance coming from these villagers...

It was just like the time Runtu called Xun Ge'er "Young Master", which made him feel a little depressed for some reason.

He knew that his image in the eyes of these people had completely changed.

In the past, he was just a volunteer teacher and a part of this village.

But now, he is already a big star, a "big shot" who can call the shots on the Spring Festival Gala stage...

At least in the minds of the villagers of Siyuan Village, he can be considered a big shot.

And they are still the peasants living in the mountains.

This class gap in self-perception made it impossible for them to view Teacher Zhou the same way as before.

This discovery made Zhou Hao very uncomfortable.

But he quickly put aside the unpleasantness, as some things were not something he could decide.

Just let it be and be yourself!
