Chapter 59 Filial Children
Chapter 59 Filial Children
The three of them had a pleasant afternoon at home. As evening approached, Lin Wanning was reluctantly taken back by his grandfather.
"Brother Qingfan, Ningning will come to play with you again tomorrow~"
"What?"
I'll come visit you tomorrow!
"good!"
Lin Wanning waved from the car window, while Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao leaned out onto the balcony to wave goodbye to her.
After watching the car leave the residential area, both of them suddenly felt a little lost, or more accurately, they suddenly needed to go to the toilet.
Xu Qingfan turned around to shoot a basket, walked back to the living room, and Xia Xiaoxiao gave him a light kick before following him back.
"Don't want to play anymore?" Xu Qingfan pointed to the Little Tyrant on the ground. After leaving only him and Xiaoxiao, the game suddenly didn't feel so fun anymore.
"I'm not playing anymore."
Xia Xiaoxiao felt the same way. Although Wan Ning was not very good at the game, playing games with her and listening to her constant chatter and exclamations was very interesting.
In other words, Lin Wanning was probably the kind of friend with high energy.
The two of them worked together to tidy up the living room they had messed up. After dinner and a shower, eight o'clock in the evening soon arrived.
...
After his outstanding performance on TV yesterday, even more people came to the food stall tonight to watch Xu Qingfan's interview. Many neighbors who weren't very familiar with him from the next street also brought their children to join in the fun.
Therefore, my parents had to put away the tables they had originally arranged and put long benches and stools at the entrance. There weren't enough stools in the shop, so they had to borrow many from others.
Xu Qingfan became a giant panda again, and the neighbors brought their own "char siu" and "huagulong" to pat his head and share in the joy.
Fortunately, eight o'clock arrived quickly, and the neighbors returned to their seats. Xu Qingfan's handsome hairstyle, well, it was gone.
After the segment about Shenbao Mixture ended, the program aired quickly.
The host began by explaining the reason: "Recently, a first-grade student from Licheng Experimental Primary School had his poem selected by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games as the theme song for the opening ceremony. Let's take a look!"
The host was speaking Cantonese, and the neighbors chimed in, "Finally, he's not speaking that slang anymore!"
"yes!"
"It's still more comfortable to listen to Cantonese!"
Around the turn of the millennium, the locals were quite xenophobic, calling languages other than Cantonese "lao hua" and people who couldn't speak Cantonese "lao zai".
As a result, many locals stopped speaking Cantonese, but people still called them "local scoundrels"!
The provincial TV station didn't put any effort into editing the interview; it was broadcast entirely in the form of a documentary. Many shots that CCTV didn't air were all included as extra footage.
For example, when Xu Qingfan explained the inspiration for his song "Me and You," the part where his grandmother called him home for dinner resonated with many people who had lived in or were currently living in the countryside.
Because this is truly their daily routine.
After showing the footage from the conference room, the host made a suggestive move, announcing a surprise inspection of Xu Qingfan's dormitory hygiene.
With the principal's permission, the group headed to the dormitory building in a grand procession.
Song Youcai was also watching TV at that moment. When he saw this part, he chuckled and said to his wife beside him, "I was actually quite nervous at the time. If the dormitory was really dirty and messy, wouldn't the positive publicity turn into negative publicity?"
"Fortunately, Xiao Fan never disappoints!"
This is utter nonsense. If the dormitory were truly dirty and messy, this segment would never have aired.
After walking along a tree-lined path, the group quickly arrived at the dormitory area. Then came another segment of footage showing them hurrying along, with the camera specifically focusing on the surveillance cameras, fire safety facilities, and water purifiers and dispensers in the dormitory corridors.
The final shot focuses on the nameplate of room 201: Xu Qingfan (room leader), Zhang Jiayou, Ma Chao, and Tian Jiahao.
Xu Qingfan's three roommates also made a brief appearance on television.
The dormitory manager stepped forward and opened the locked door. The audience first heard a group of people exclaim in surprise before the camera focused on the dormitory.
The reflective floor, the dust-free furniture, and the four beds with their beds neatly folded into "tofu blocks"—if you didn't know beforehand that this was an elementary school dormitory, you could easily mistake it for a military camp!
"Dear viewers, I swear on my integrity that we absolutely did not consult with the school beforehand. Even today's interview was conducted unexpectedly; it was definitely not scripted!"
The host was also stunned and looked at Song Youcai, "Wait, does your school still implement military-style management?"
Song Youcai smiled, his face crinkling with laughter, and calmly said, "This is entirely Xiao Fan and the others' personal pursuit. The school's requirements for the children are simply that the dormitories have no odor, the floors have no obvious stains, and the blankets are neatly folded."
It was quite a coincidence that Xu Qingfan and his dorm had just been thoroughly cleaned the day before the interview, because Ma Chao and Zhang Jiayou were fighting over Tian Yuhao's instant noodle soup and accidentally spilled it.
After being scolded by Xu Qingfan, everyone worked together to clean.
As for the quilt folded into a tofu block, Ma Chao said he could fold the quilt into a tofu block!
Xu Qingfan replied, "As if anyone is inferior," and that's how everyone's competitive spirit was ignited.
"Other people's dorm rooms are so tidy, look at yours, your room looks like a doghouse!"
"If your room were even half as clean as someone else's, I'd be laughing in my sleep!"
At this very moment, countless parents are using this as an excuse to educate their children, and Xu Qingfan has become the ultimate role model for "other people's children".
After leaving the dormitory, the camera then went to Class 1 (1) to personally interview the children who had the most contact with Xu Qingfan, focusing on authenticity.
Although no interview segments have been broadcast yet, the show's ratings have not declined; on the contrary, they have continued to rise.
Especially when footage of Xu Qingfan's dormitory was revealed, the ratings soared to 26.8%, with more than a quarter of the television stations in the province watching his program.
This is understandable, firstly because today is October 1st, National Day, so the timing is right.
Secondly, people in Guangdong are very united. When they learn that a child from their province is on CCTV, they will definitely show their support. This is an advantage of their location.
Finally, this type of program was unprecedented, much like the later wildly popular reality shows, which is all about people and the right people.
The combination of these three factors resulted in this astonishing viewership rating.
"Mom, I'm on TV!"
"Interview me! Interview me! I'm Xu Qingfan's roommate!"
"Our class monitor is super nice, we all like him!"
After the children's boisterous interview ended, the scene suddenly changed, and Xu Qingfan sat opposite the host.
"Hello Xiao Fan, please introduce yourself to the viewers in front of the TV."
Pearl River Channel is not broadcast on satellite, and 99% of its viewers are from Guangdong.
Xu Qingfan thought for a moment and said in Cantonese:
"Hello everyone, uncles and aunts, my name is Xu Qingfan, I am seven years old. My grandma said that whether I am ordinary or extraordinary in the future, I will be her pride, so she named me Xu Qingfan."
Many viewers who had seen yesterday's interview burst into tears.
"Xiao Fan is such a good boy!"
"That's right, that's right, you didn't forget Grandma even when you were on TV!"
"Filial piety!"
