Chapter 20 – Is It the Decline of Morality or the Distortion of Human Nature?

Several people counted out their living expenses, and there was a thousand left. But yesterday they bought a lot of food, enough to eat for several days. Sheng Qiao looked around in the fridge and asked the director, “does the guest have a designated evening meal?”

“No, but make sure he feels at home.”

Sheng Qiao thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we cook hot pot? We have all kinds of vegetables. Just buy a bag of hot pot seasoning. “

Everyone agreed.

“On afternoon, we begin to prepare vegetables. Last night, there was still miscellaneous sauce left. We will have miscellaneous sauce noodles at noon, and we will have a good meal together in the evening.”

Several people nodded in unison.

Sheng Qiao thought about it, asked for a pen and paper from the director group, squatted in front of the coffee table and spread it out, “anyway, we have nothing to do now, let’s discuss how to work and earn money in the next 20 days.”

Lu Yihan beat the pillow: “I’m still young, child labor violates the law.”

Several people laughed together, Sheng Qiao said: “according to the current practice of the program group, it is estimated that there will be a guest every two days. We don’t have enough living expenses. If we want to entertain guests, we can only find ways to make money.” She wrote down the names of six people in a row in her notebook. “What are your talents and ways to make money? Let’s talk about them.”

“With my beauty, I really can’t think of any other way to make money except selling myself,” said Zhong Shen.

At the moment, the whole barrage is laughing at the same time.

Sheng Qiao ignored him, and Le Xiao suddenly said, “you can let Huo Xi play and sing in the square.”

The method she proposed is actually feasible. Among the six guests, only Huo Xi is also a singer, playing and singing with his popularity. It’s no problem to earn tens of thousands a day.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Qiao blurted out, “no way!”

Several people don’t know why she reacts so much. They all look at her strangely.

It’s so cold, let my idol go outside and sing with the wind and the cold? Don’t even think about it! No doors!

Sheng Qiao coughs, “singing also requires sound equipment and guitar, these investments in the early stage are too much.”

They agree and give it up.

Several people are all of good origins. They don’t need to worry about food and clothing when they are young. It’s impossible to work when they are in the entertainment circle. When do they have such a headache about money?

The audience in the barrage is also actively participating in the discussion at this time. Apart from their star effect, there is really no other way to make money. After all, they don’t think it’s reliable to work part-time.

As a result, Sheng Qiao said, “in this way, let’s go out and have a look around to see if there is any work to be done.”

Le Xiao’s five senses are wrinkled into a group: “really go to work?”

Zhong Shen seems to be uncomfortable if he doesn’t diss her. “Or if you can dance to the director group now to see if they can give you money.”

Li Xiao’s face is red because of his blocking. Sheng Qiao holds Lu Yihan’s pillow and smashes it at Zhong Shen. “You bully Xiao again, and don’t want to eat the miscellaneous sauce noodles at noon.”

Zhang Shen suddenly changed from a big lion to a little cat, and Le Xiao snorted. There was no other way, so several people packed up and went out.

The audience in barrage felt incredible.

[Sheng Qiao really took them to work.]

[What’s wrong with working? Labor is the most glorious.]

[Actually, making good use of the star effect can also make money. I think it’s good to let Huo Xi go to the square to sing.]

[What a fart, isn’t the idol yours, you won’t care,right? Why don’t your idol go to the square to act?]

[Did you find that Sheng Qiao seems to be the person in charge of the program unconsciously?]

[She looks at things in a thoughtful and comprehensive way. The others are all roles of opening mouth when rice comes and reaching out arms when clothes come.]

[It’s said that Sheng Qiao’s experience is very tough in the termination event. Her father committed suicide in debt, and her mother is still disabled. As said, the child of a poor family is in charge early.]

[The others don’t treat money as money, only she knows how hard it is to get money.]

[All right, isn’t it a big scene of selling miserable? Do you still watch the program? ]

[This is the only one selling miserable to attract fans.]

OK, there’s another fight.

At this end, Sheng Qiao has led several people out of the house. It’s a nice day today. Although it’s chilly, the sun is clear and the sky is blue.

This neighborhood is located in a remote place, and the business area is desolate. Several people have wandered in a large circle, but they haven’t seen any places that hire people. In the middle of the way, they have passed through several large construction sites. The excavators and gantry cranes roar and make the dust fly.

Sheng Qiao is a student of architecture at London University. If this accident doesn’t happen, she will go to the construction site arranged by her father in the next year.

Sniffing the smell of steel and concrete in the air, she sighed.

When Le Xiao saw that she looked at the construction site frequently and was still dignified, she suddenly cried out in horror, “Qiao Qiao, don’t you want us to move bricks on the construction site?”

Sheng Qiao was stunned. She thought back and said, “this is a good suggestion.”

Everybody:???

They all glared at Le Xiao.

Barrage is also not calm.

[Ha ha ha, Xiao, do you know what is digging a hole for yourself?]

[No, it’s funny to think of a few people carrying bricks on the construction site.]

[I bet Sheng Qiao didn’t really think about that just now, what brain circuit does Le Xiao have, laughing to die.]

[Sheng Qiao is kidding. The construction site is not for fun.]

Sheng Qiao smiled and shook her head. “I’m kidding you.”

There was a sigh of relief.

When they go back, they go through the farmer’s market, which is the place where Sheng Qiao bought vegetables before. This market is the most bustling place near here. There are many vendors selling snacks around the entrance. Lu Yihan is at the age when he wants to eat everything. He saw that the barbecue stand then he could not move.

“Sister little Qiao, I want to eat that, only one, can I?”

Can you refuse when kids say these? Sheng Qiao signals Le Xiao to pay.

Le Xiao is no longer in love with Lu Yihan as when she met him yesterday. She is reluctant: “barbecue is too greasy and unhealthy.”

“I want to eat, too! I’d like to have a roasted brain flower! ” Zhong Shen said.

Le Xiao said, “There are many parasites in brain flower! Think about it. It’s disgusting. I suggest you eat less of it. “

Zhong Shen was shocked: “how can you be so stingy after one day? What has changed you, the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature? “

Le Xiao kicked him up in anger.

At last, Le Xiao paid for the food. Several people gathered around the snack stall to choose what they liked. Sheng Qiao asked for a steaming Guandong stew. Looking back, she saw Huo Xi standing beside her with his hands in his pockets. She thought about it, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Hup Xi, what do you want to eat?”

Huo Xi glanced at her. It’s the first time since she took part in the program that she took the initiative to talk to him. He said softly, “I don’t want it. You can eat it.”

Everyone has a budget of only ten yuan, and they are still picking and choosing. Sheng Qiao looks around, takes another ten yuan from Le Xiao’s hand, runs to one side to buy a baked sweet potato, and trots back to Huo Xi and delivers it to him: “here you are.”

She knows that Huo Xi likes baked sweet potatoes, and he likes soft and sticky food.

The baked sweet potato is wrapped in yellow paper, and the sweet hot air is coming out. It’s slightly broken from the middle, and it’s golden yellow.

Huo Xi reached out and took it. Her heart pounded. She cared about her idol all the time and was afraid of the live broadcast. She said “eat while it’s hot”. She turned around and ran to Feng Wei’s side to hook up. “Wei, what do you want to eat? I recommend baked sweet potatoes to you. “

“No, it’s too hot,” Feng Wei said.

Huo Xi breaks off the sweet potatoes, and the heat overflows. Even Le Xiao is attracted. She can’t help but say, “Huo Xi, can you share half with me?”

Huo Xi is about to hand it to her. Sheng Qiao shoves the remaining five yuan into Le Xiao’s hand. “It’s only five yuan. Go and buy another one. I want to eat it. We’ll share it.”

Le Xiao went with a happy face.

Huo Xi silently takes back his hand and lowers his head and bites the sweet potato. Very hot, very soft, very sticky, very sweet, he looked up at the opposite girl’s back, when drooping eyes, picked the lip angle.

Several people take their own food and eat it while walking. They are all rich people. At this time, eating a few yuan of food produces a huge sense of happiness. It seems that the environment can really change a lot of things.

They don’t find a place to work nearby. It’s more than three hours back and forth to the city. Besides, there’s only bus, which is not cost-effective. Sheng Qiao didn’t mention it any more. She bought the hot pot seasoning and went back. Towards lunchtime, she made noodles with mixed sauce. After dinner, several people went to lunch break. She squatted in front of the tea table alone and wrote and drew with a small book.

The audience was very curious about what she was writing. The cameraman felt something and put the camera lens together.

Actually, it’s a series of ways to earn money by working. All she can think of are written down in the book. Finally, she thinks about the possibility to tick or cross.

[Sheng Qiao is also worried for a family’s eating and drinking.]

[All the work plans she wrote are grounded. I study in France. I’ve done half of the work in her list.]

[Me too! Overseas students cry out.]

[Did Sheng Qiao study abroad? ]

[Joking ahead, Sheng Qiao didn’t go to school after graduating from junior high school.]

[Can’t you really make good use of your star effect? It’s OK to sell signature photos.]

[I would like to spend 10000 yuan on Huo Xi’s signature photo.]

[The flow fan is really rich.]

[The writing of Sheng Qiao… It’s Thin Golden Style. It’s very good.]

[I’m training for Thin Golden Style recently! It’s too hard. When can I practice to the extend like this?]

[I don’t evaluate her morality, but her writing is really good.]

Of course it is good, she was forced to copy and write in front of the desk by the calligraphy master who was invited back by Qiao’s mother. Her mother said that if you have no talent for painting, you will not be forced to do so. Do you have to write well? Others write “Shen Qingyun” three words with gold frames, when you write these in the name column of your parents as the dog crawls, it is a disgrace of our family.

Sheng Qiao didn’t lack money when she was studying abroad, but she experienced the life of work study several times with a girl who lived with her, so she knew better. But it’s too wild around here. The business circle hasn’t formed yet. It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Looking at her list of making money, she helplessly sighed.

Still racking her brains, several people who took a nap got up one after another. Le Xiao was the first to come down and read Sheng Qiao’s densely written book. She said, “Qiao Qiao, you are still thinking, forget it, watch horror movies.”

Then she turns on the TV and excitedly transfers out the horror movie library to pick it up.

Sheng Qiao was afraid of ghosts when she was a child. When she was a child, she spent her holiday in the countryside. Listening to the elders in the village telling ghost stories of half true and half fake in a trembling voice, she left a serious shadow in her heart. Every time she encounters a funeral in the street, she will have nightmares, and she never dares to involve horror movies.

In addition, she became Sheng Qiao, an unexplained thing so far. She became more and more resistant to these mysterious things.

She quickly stopped Le Xiao: “the guests will arrive in the evening. Let’s discuss how to receive them first.”

“Discuss while watching,” said Le Xiao.

While saying, she selects a movie and clicks play button.

The subtitle just appeared. The horrible BGM was like a cold air rushing through the room. Sheng Qiao’s face was white with fear. She didn’t dare to look in the direction of TV. She forced herself to calm down and lower her head.

Huo Xi is coming down the stairs, taking a look at the living room. After going down the stairs, he goes to Le Xiao, picks up the remote control and presses pause.

Le Xiao just entered the atmosphere and stared at Huo Xi.

“It’s too noisy,” said Huo Xi.

Le Xiao：？？？
