The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 526: The old mountain village in the great mountains

Chapter 526: 526: The old mountain village in the great mountains

In the few-minute-long short film about the future, the final shot is of the old principal’s words and a group of students of different ages sitting in the same classroom.

Perhaps their genders are different, and their clothes vary, but they all share a common characteristic—their hands.

Their hands are covered in scars and calluses that young people from big cities don’t have, marks from gathering firewood, cooking, doing farm work, and being weathered by the elements.

They are all quite young, the oldest being only around fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest about three or four, yet they have already taken on the heavy responsibility of sharing the family farm work.

They are all left-behind children. Their parents work in big cities far away; they are raised by their grandparents. They all long to change their fate through knowledge, to get into college, leave the poverty-stricken mountains, and see the world outside.

Although it’s just a one-day livestream, preliminary work has been done for a while. To present a more direct and detailed introduction of this girl who needs help, every effort was made to use the simplest shots to tell more stories.

Before the livestream officially began, Jiang Nuo stood next to a worn-out wall and said, "Sorry, this livestream is later than I expected. The small mountain village is just too far, though it has electricity and television now, it still lacks network, which we need for the livestream. So, we spent a little time getting the network connected."

"Although some might say, why must it be a livestream? It could be recorded. But I just want to do it live because I want more NuoMi fans to participate. If you can’t be involved, much of what I’m doing will lose its significance."

"I can’t ensure I’ll be able to livestream every day, but the documentary on the livestream is at 8:00 PM on Saturdays, on the XX channel, and I hope everyone can tune in on time."

"Or everyone can log into the XX charity organization’s official website to find related videos."

...

After that, Jiang Nuo told everyone, "Now the place where I am is the primary school introduced at the beginning of our video, XXX Primary School. This name is also the name of the village."

"This is the old principal of the primary school. Hello, Principal, could you please say hello to everyone?"

The old principal seemed somewhat unaccustomed and awkwardly said to the camera, "Hello everyone!"

Then there was silence, creating an awkward pause. The old principal felt something wasn’t right and just wanted to say a few more words, when Jiang Nuo spoke again.

"This is a teacher from the school!" After introducing, Jiang Nuo asked the teacher if she had anything to say to the camera.

The teacher appeared a bit confused: "I hope more people will pay attention to left-behind children, and pay attention to this place."

NuoMi fans laughed online: [Hahaha... Jiang Nuo is really not fit to be a host, it’s clearly trying to bully the guests!]

[This old principal, I’m really impressed with him. Has he really stayed in that place for over 20 years? Even his wife and children have left him, doesn’t he regret it?]

[Seeing that short video, when the old principal asked that question, my eyes turned red.]

[I just got online, what did the principal just say that made your eyes red?]

[The old principal said: If I leave, what will happen to them? By "them," he means these left-behind children. He’s over 50, and he’s already lost his wife and children for them. He doesn’t know how many more years he can hold on...]

[The short film also said the old principal’s health is not good, and nobody knows how much longer he can hold on. He’s now very eager for someone to take over.]

[Isn’t there a young teacher?]

[The teacher is also quite pitiful. She’s almost 30, and her boyfriend says if she doesn’t hurry to get married, they’ll break up. Once she’s married, she has to leave here to become a housewife.]

[Why is her boyfriend like this? Let him go then.]

[Won’t she end up like the old principal, without a partner or children, lonely all her life? That’s not fair to her, is it?]

...

NuoMi fans were discussing heatedly online. Meanwhile, at the live broadcast site, Jiang Nuo also asked some questions about the left-behind children.

He asked where their parents work in the cities, how often they come back, and whether these children could keep up with city courses if they went to a big city.

He said, "No matter what problems you have today, you can ask me directly. Rest assured, today’s livestream is here to solve problems, definitely not for show."

"Can you really solve problems?" the old principal asked.

"You don’t have to worry about the school building problem; I can solve that. As for the teachers, I can also hire them with new salaries. Those who teach for three years or more can receive a salary of 200,000 per year."

"That much?!" The old principal and the teacher were both stunned. Especially the old principal; he had never seen so much money in his life.

It’s 100,000 for one year, so staying for five years would be a million?!

Jiang Nuo nodded, "This money will be deducted from my private account. Moreover, no matter what school the children get into in the future, I’ll cover all their tuition fees. As for living expenses, I’ll contact several companies to provide them with work-study opportunities. If they perform well, after graduating from college, they can work directly in the company."

"Is that for real?!" Why does it feel like a pie falling from the sky?

"Old Principal, your health is really not good. I’ve discussed with my wife, and she will personally perform surgery on you. Her reputation as the ’Divine Doctor’ won’t be ruined."

"There’s no need for that. In this life, the only thing I can’t let go of is these children. You’ve done enough, there’s no need to help more..." The old principal’s eyes reddened. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

However, his words made it even easier for others to shed tears.

"Old Principal, I think you also hope to see how far these children can go, right? Rest assured, my wife’s medical skills, all the NuoMi fans online know, she is definitely the ’Divine Doctor’! Although I can’t guarantee she’ll completely cure you, she can surely let you live to a hundred." Jiang Nuo finished with a laugh, "If you don’t believe it, you can ask the NuoMi fans online."

"What is NuoMi fans?" Well, even now the old principal still didn’t get it.

The NuoMi fans burst into laughter: [Hahaha... this time you’ve been slapped in the face, right? He doesn’t even know you, haha, not even about your NuoMi fans.]

[Hello, Old Principal, we are the NuoMi fans, @Jiang Nuo’s fans, and we are the best fan club in the world. And our @Jiang Nuo is also the best male idol in the world. His wife is really a Divine Doctor!]

[@Jiang Nuo’s wife is Mu Qiuniang. Just Baidu her online, and you’ll know how amazing her medical skills are, she is considered the best in the world!]
