Best Son-in-law

But at this time, Li Zhen next to him was very puzzled when he saw such a scene, and looked at Li Fan with doubts on his face.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhen couldn't help but ask when he saw Li Fan's abnormal expression.

"No, it's okay." Li Fan's heart was agitated. After a while, he gradually calmed down. He turned his head, looked at Li Zhen blankly and asked, "Miss Li, can you do me a favor?"

"Help? What help? How can I help you?" Upon hearing this, Li Zhen asked with confusion on his face.

"This is very simple for you. Can you do a special report on our village, whether it is scenery or folk customs." Li Fan said.

After listening to Li Fan's words, Li Zhen thought for a while and hesitated.

It stands to reason that Li Fan saved himself, and he should not refuse even a small request, but things were not as simple as imagined, so Li Zhen simply said straightforwardly: "I am just a reporter, not the editor-in-chief. I am responsible for writing articles, but not every article will be published in Global Scenery Magazine. The editor-in-chief has publication requirements and will reject the manuscript. The first point is that the place where it is written must really be as written. , otherwise it will affect the reputation of the magazine, can you understand this?"

After hearing this, Li Fan nodded repeatedly: "Miss Li, I don't want to embarrass you, but if you are willing to write an article for our village, it will be a great help, regardless of whether it will be published or not."

Seeing Li Fan's sincere eyes, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and asked a little confused: "What do you mean by this? Can I help a lot by writing an article that may not be published?"

"Yes!" Li Fan said with certainty: "If it can be published in Global Scenery Magazine, so that more people can know Laoshantun and our village, that would be the best. It can directly bring about earth-shaking changes to the village. . Even if I really can’t pass the manuscript, I still want to thank you, on behalf of all the folks in Laoshantun, thank you!”

Li Zhen read the endless desire in Li Fan's eyes, which made her hesitate and struggle in her heart. Then she thought that this was actually not too difficult. Besides, he saved her. This kind of kindness must be repaid with my life. This is also an opportunity to repay, so I might as well agree to it. If it really happens, it will be a good thing to help the entire village.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen couldn't help but nodded, looked at Li Fan, and said solemnly: "I can definitely help you with this, but you have to tell me everything about the village, because the first requirement of our Global Scenery Magazine is We must pay attention to authenticity. The good and bad aspects must be explained to the readers. We must be responsible for the readers. This is also my principle."

"That's no problem at all." Li Fan thought for a while and told the whole story simply: "Our Laoshantun has been occupied by a chemical factory, and it has polluted the village for several years!"

This sentence made Li Zhen's eyes widen instantly. She knew deep down what the chemical plant meant. What it represents is industrial wastewater residue and contaminated vegetables and fruits. If this were written about, it would definitely make readers feel repulsed.

But when Li Fan said this, Li Zhen understood why Li Fan asked him for help.

He probably wanted to use the power of Global Scenery Magazine to improve the image of Laoshantun.

You know, trust is a big problem in today's society.

If a place loses its credibility for some reason, it is an extremely terrible thing. It will directly cause the economic and cultural development of this place to lag behind, and it will also bring about a series of chain reactions.

"Li Fan, do you know what it means when I write down the chemical plant?" Li Zhen took a deep breath. She didn't mean to pour cold water on it, but she just hoped that Li Fan could calm down a little and look at this matter comprehensively.

"Even if the editor-in-chief adopts my article, what will readers think after reading it? They will immediately have a negative impression and feel that this place is not a particularly good place. So, it’s not that I don’t help, our global scenery Although the image of some places can be improved, it may be difficult to improve a place like Laoshantun that has been dominated by chemical plants for a long time. Even if it is reported, it probably won't achieve the effect you expect." Seeing Li Fan's excitement, Li Zhen couldn't bear it in his heart, so he gave a few words of persuasion.

"No, Miss Li, please listen to me first. The chemical plant has now been moved out, and our village will invest a large sum of money to treat the environment, including polluted water sources, and improve conditions. I believe you I also saw some scenery in the mountains behind our village. It is not polluted. Do you really have the heart to let such a large area of ​​original ecological scenery be buried? And there is a large freshwater lake behind the village called Laoshan Lake is also very beautiful, I think it is worth writing an article about." Li Fan quickly explained.

After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but start to think about it. In fact, what Li Fan said did not make sense. She was really attracted by the beautiful environment here. This was the first time she had seen such original scenery in Yannan for so many years. Ecology, such a quiet and livable place, if she didn't know that there used to be a chemical factory here, she would really consider writing a column and recommending it to her readers, so that they could come and take a look here.

However, Li Zhen still had some hesitation: "Well, can you give me a detailed introduction to some things about Laoshantun? I want to give you a comprehensive report. This chemical plant really gives readers a very negative impression." Big. And a column cannot just be written with a few pictures of beautiful scenery. We comprehensively develop it from the environment, humanities, food, entertainment, and leisure activities of this place... If it were more comprehensive, , not only does the manuscript have a high success rate, but it is also relatively acceptable to readers.”

"That's no problem. There are many legends and stories in our village. According to the old people, our area used to be a place where gods lived. For example, there is a mountain in the mountain behind the village called Snake Mountain. It is said that it was the place where the snake god lived. , I have been there, there are a lot of rocks that look like snake scales, and some boulders have snake patterns clearly visible. When you recover from your injury, I can definitely take you to see it. Anyway, later Mountains are very mysterious," Li Fan said.

"Snake scale-like stone? Are there snake patterns on the boulder?" After hearing these words, Li Zhen's eyes widened and fluttered. If she hadn't seen Li Fan speaking these words solemnly, she would have thought in her heart I really thought it was a madman talking nonsense.

"Okay, I will definitely come back when my injury recovers!" Li Zhen said.

"There are many legends like this. When you come again, we can go to the place to read and talk." Li Fan said.

"Well, the environment can be described as such. The mountains behind your village are indeed beautiful, but I didn't go to the lake. I'll go and have a look when I have time. What about other aspects? Is there anything else?" Li Zhen nodded and said.

"Hmm." Li Fan thought for a while: "The other one is our delicious food. I plan to open a restaurant in the village and invite people from the village to be chefs. The dishes will definitely be different. Not only the original It has an authentic natural taste, as well as other unexpected flavors and effects.”

At this time, Li Fan began to sell melons to Mrs. Wang and started to boast about herself.

"Food?" Li Zhen raised an eyebrow after hearing this. If Laoshantun really has special food, it will definitely attract a large number of tourists for sightseeing. Some tourists go out just to eat!

However, many people asked her to write articles before, and they also recommended the food and environment, but she tasted it and found that the taste was really average.

Therefore, Li Zhen would still come here to try it.

Seemingly sensing her inner thoughts, Li Fan chuckled and said, "It's okay. When I come back, I'll treat you to a meal. Whether it's delicious or not, you have the final say!"

"Okay!" Li Zhen nodded: "In this case, it will be much easier to write and more attractive."

"That's all for the time being. As you can see, our village is extremely poor and backward. So some people took advantage of this situation and deliberately introduced heavily polluting chemical plants into the village to make profits, and then used low-cost Price hired villagers who didn't know anything about the situation to work for him in the chemical factory. In the end, the village was also polluted, the villagers also contracted some hidden diseases, and their reputation was ruined. The vegetables they grew could no longer be sold. It will make the villagers even more impoverished and more dependent on chemical plants, allowing the owners of the chemical plants to make endless profits from it, but it will harm the interests of the Laoshantun villagers."

"That's why I asked you to write a report for our Laoshantun. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just give out the real situation. Now the outside world has misunderstandings about our Laoshantun. As long as it's from Laoshantun Vegetables have been contaminated by chemical plants, and they may not be sold at 30% of the market price. How can everyone make money? Aren’t they becoming poorer and poorer? Then life can no longer go on, and some people I want to bring the chemical plant back again, continue to pollute the environment, damage the health of the villagers, and continue this vicious cycle."

"If Global Scenery Magazine can help publicize it, it can directly improve the current situation of the village. At least it can let everyone know the true situation of Laoshantun, so that it will not be used by some people with ulterior motives to spread rumors."

Li Fan looked straight at Li Zhen, his eyes full of sincerity and desire.

"Okay." Li Zhen was stunned, then nodded and agreed. After learning the specific situation, she still wanted to help.

First of all, the scenery in the mountains behind Laoshantun is indeed very beautiful and close to the original ecology, which is rare in Yannan.

Secondly, there is no harm in this matter, and it has also helped countless villagers in Laoshantun.

Thirdly, Li Fan saved her life, which she must repay no matter what.
