Chapter 152 . The Village With Children Whose Parents Were Outside
Rachel nodded, answering, "I'm already on my way. What's up?"
"You silly girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? I can prepare something for you to go through winter," Chester complained.
With a smile, Rachel said, "I'm going to record the program, not to travel around in winter. What should I prepare for it?"
Chester couldn't help saying, "It's so cold there. Can you stand the coldness? You are so delicate. In order to make money, you've worked so hard!"
"You know, I have to support myself now. So I must work harder," Rachel teased.
Chester, however, said naturally, "If you want, I promise to support you all your life!"
"Ha-ha," Rachel laughed happily, saying, "Then let's talk about it later. I haven't decided who will support me for the rest of my life."
After hanging up the phone, Rachel kept smiling.
Michelle asked curiously, "Boyfriend?"
Rachel immediately shook her head and denied, "He's just a friend of mine. He likes to make jokes, and I often joke with him."
"Then he must be a pursuer," Michelle replied.
Rachel chuckled and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend now?"
Michelle shook her head and replied, "In the entertainment circle, nobody dares to fall in love so easily. You must be really careful. Otherwise, your reputation will be destroyed."
Rachel nodded in agreement. "The main problem is that the paparazzi and fans are too powerful. They take furtive pictures. If fans object to a star's relationship, they will lose the fans, and there will be a decline in their career. Not everyone dares to go into such a dangerous place."
"But after all, we are ordinary people. We will end up marrying a person and having a family. What should we do? Now you are still young. You should enjoy your career first and wait to meet the right person," Michelle stated as she shrugged helplessly.
They set out in the morning and arrived at the village almost at dusk.
It got dark early in winter. When they arrived at this village, it was all dark around.
The village head, leading the villagers, came out to welcome them with a flashlight.
They had built a iron shelter for temporary residence on a vacant land for the shooting.
When Rachel got off the car, she immediately sneezed.
Michelle, who was standing behind her, sneezed too. She grumbled, "Why is it much colder here than downtown? It's freezing cold!"
Some people who were afraid of the cold had already taken out a thick down jacket from their suitcase and put it on. Michelle quickly put the thick clothes she prepared on Rachel.
Even so, Rachel still felt very cold.
Bob took the lead in greeting the villagers, and then asked the staff to distribute rooms for all the stars present.
Since Rachel was the main character and the female star, the crew gave her the best room.
Although it was the best room here, it was only better in terms of anti-wind and cold resistance. Besides, the bedding was of higher quality.
But it did not have much effect on the harsh weather which was under extreme coldness.
At the first night, Rachel was shivering with cold. Michelle worried that she couldn't sleep well, so she put some electric warmers in her bed, which made her feel better.
But as a supporting actress, Michelle Li was offered a far worse treatment than Rachel. She couldn't fall asleep because of the tiny cracks in her room.
Thus, in the middle of the night, she had to turn to Rachel for help.
With great sympathy for her, Rachel simply agreed to let her sleep with her.
In this way, they could keep warm together instead of feeling cold.
They didn't wake up until dawn. The staff waked them up. As soon as Michelle saw the camera, she was stunned. "Ah, the shooting has started?"
"Yes, you're right. We will keep a record of your daily life," Bob said, standing behind the camera.
Michelle got up from her bed, so did Rachel. This unexpected scene of them two appeared in the camera at the same time surprised Bob. He exclaimed, "You..."
Michelle said apologetically, "I'm sorry, director Bob. It was too cold last night. I couldn't bear it so I came to Rachel's bed."
Bob looked at Rachel and signaled for her to speak.
With a faint smile, Rachel said, "We just sleep in the same bed. In this case, we don't feel as cold as before. It's a smart idea."
Bob hastened to tell the photographer, "This cannot be broadcast. Make sure you cut it later."
The photographer was confused. This could obviously attracted audiences, why couldn't it be broadcasted?
Actually, what made Bob afraid was that he didn't know what Clark would do him if the latter saw this.
He didn't want to see Clark's cold face any more.
Michelle took the quilt to her own room.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Rachel went out to see the village.
It was dark when she arrived last night, and now it was a good chance to see the village clearly.
But when she saw the shabby mud house, Rachel was stunned.
In addition, she also saw many children running around in thin clothes in the cold weather in the village. It totally shocked Rachel.
"Why don't you put on your shoes? And you are wearing so few clothes. Don't you feel cold?" asked Rachel, gripping one of the children.
The child just looked at her sheepishly. Rachel's thick clothes made him jealous.
Rachel immediately took off her down coat and put it on him. After doing that, she touched the child's head and said, "This coat is for you. Go back and put on your shoes." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Michelle subconsciously called her, "Rachel, you will get cold!"
Stunned, Rachel turned around and gave her a hint. Michelle had no choice but to shut up and go back to get her clothes.
Looking at his dirty feet, the child moved a little, lowered his head, and said in an almost invisible voice, "I don't have any shoes..."
With a look of shock, Rachel wondered how backward this village was?
At this time, when other kids saw the boy have thick clothes, they rushed to Rachel and looked at her with expectation.
Rachel was embarrassed and blamed herself in her mind. Why didn't she prepare thick clothes for them?
At this moment, director Bob said, "Rachel, the children's shoes and clothes you ordered are here! Go and have a look!"
Rachel was stunned, thinking, 'When did I order these things?'
At this time, Michelle handed over the overcoat to Rachel and said with a big smile, "Rachel, the things we bought for the children are just in time. We can distribute them to these children, right?"
Rachel finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Randall had arranged this. He was really capable.
With the help of Michelle, Rachel distributed the children's new clothes, shoes and books to them one by one.
The children were so happy that they each had new clothes and shoes.
The children dressed in thick clothes all bowed to Rachel, saying at the same time, "Thank you, sister!"
Rachel squatted among them and said casually, "Where are your parents?"
"They are working in another city," an older girl replied.
"Who else is in your family?" Rachel asked again.
"Grandpa."
"Grandma."
Most children had given mainly these two answers.
This was a village with many children whose parents were not at home. There were only the old and the weak in the village. All young men and women were working outside. Some of them even could not come back once a year.
Poor kids!
Rachel asked again, "Who take care of you normally?"
They looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
Still, the girl replied, "No one takes care of us. We have to take care of grandpa and grandma."
"Do you usually go to school?" Rachel asked.
The children looked at her with their eyes wide open. They did not understand why they needed to go to school.
They were holding the children's books in their hands. Although the pictures were shiny, they couldn't understand the words on the books.
