The Best Male God

This chapter was translated by Daed and hosted on Foxaholic.com.

Hello! Daed here. I forgot I actually translated this chapter and so it was lying in my drive for a while. I only realized after I tried to release chapter 8 that "wow did I skip chapter 7?" So after translating chapter 7 again, I found out that I actually did do it before. Sorry about that. Thank you for your patience.

The ginseng that Zhou Zekai dug from the mountain turned out to be more than 300 years old! This news completely blew the television crew away!

Were wild ginseng so easy to dig nowadays?

Nevertheless, everyone knew that this ginseng was dug by Zhou Zekai, and it belonged to Zhou Zekai. He could do whatever he pleased with it.

Zhou Yunye hadn't seen such a good specimen of ginseng in a long time. With Feng Ximing’s help, they quickly stored it in the freezer in the car. Otherwise, if its medicinal properties were ruined, he really would want to cry.

With the ginseng stored in their car, Zhou Yunye and Zhou Hongyi returned to the house of Zhou Zekai’s host family. While they walked, they could see just how poor the village was. They thought about the children living in this sort of place. Surely they could see something right?

Zhou Zekai had been waiting for them to return. After he saw them making their way over, he grabbed his grandpa's hand without looking at his dad.

"Grandpa. Although the ginseng was a gift from me, in the end it was dug up from the mountain of this village. I also noticed that there were a lot of mountain products on the mountain. So Grandpa, can you help build a road in the village?"

For the Zhous, it was normal for them to take out millions of yuan. The amount wasn’t as high as that wild ginseng is worth, and the most that it will take to fix a road in a village like this was only about one million. They could afford it.

Zhou Yunye did not expect that his grandson had such an idea. He looked at him in surprise, and Zhou Hongyi was a little curious as to why his son had such an idea as well.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zekai pulled his grandfather and started making rounds around the village. He told him about what he saw and heard. This shocked the cameramen. Who would have thought that while the other kids were complaining, Zhou Zekai had already noticed so much? Moreover, he’s already begun to use his own power to make some changes.

On the way, they met the village head of Ming'an Village. Zhou Zekai introduced his grandfather to the village chief. The two elderly men talked cheerfully and wittily together. This also let Zhou Yunye understand the current situation in the village, especially how the village head was so overcome with excitement when he heard that Zhou Zekai's grandfather wanted to build a road for the village.

The main backwardness of Ming'an Village is that there is no way out of the mountain. Living next to such a mountain, it had everything; but if you really want to sell anything, you weren't able to sell it. When the children go to school, they had to pass over mountain ridges for two hours before they reach the schoolhouse. To the village chief of Ming'an Village, this was a problem that was painful to even look at.

If the village could have a highway, then everything would improve vastly. Solely speaking of those mountain goods on the mountain, they could all be sold outside the village…

With the camera lens as witness, Zhou Zekai’s grandfather confirmed the plan to build a highway with the village chief, and promised to send a construction team after he went back. In fact, the money for this matter should have been given to the village chief. However, Zhou Yunye remembered that his son and grandson were currently in a disagreement, so he waved his hand and let his son take care of the construction of the road. While the latter was at it, he could take this time to relax and cultivate a better relationship with his grandson.

Regarding such a result, Zhou Hongyi naturally wouldn’t say anything. Zhou Zekai twisted his mouth, but still felt that the more important matters should be placed first.

Zhou Zekai’s family members left in the afternoon. Tang Bingyu and Zhou Zekai were interviewed by the television crew again. Regarding Zhou Zekai‘s behavior today, the television crew felt that if it was promoted, everyone who watched the show would most likely be shocked.

"Zhou Zekai, why did you tell your grandfather to build a highway to Ming'an Village?"

When this question was asked, Tang Bingyu also looked curiously at Zhou Zekai. She knew that building a highway in such an environment would be costly, at least 500,000 or more yuan. Although her family was wealthy, she felt that her parents would not agree to do such a thing that wouldn’t give them any return after the investment.

"Since yesterday, I’ve been thinking about why the village is so poor. Aside from the resources, it is too close to the mountain. Although there are all kinds of mountain goods on the mountain, it cannot be transported out of the village. Even if there are tricycles, there is no good road to use. It’s been proven that what the great leaders say is correct. ‘To prosper, one must first build a road.’ My being able to obtain a wild mountain ginseng is proof that this place and I have been brought together by fate, which further drives my desire to change it. My family has subsidized some poor children in their education. Now the roads are also built to improve the circumstances of Ming'an Village. Isn't it all the same thing? "

Zhou Zekai originally said it solemnly, but as he spoke, he played it down. Charity was not a thing that needed to be deliberately and forcefully emphasized. The Zhous did not need Zhou Zekai to do any publicity work for their charity work. Besides, everything Zhou Zekai had done did not count as charity, only a heart-felt desire to change the village.

The cameramen filming were instantly speechless, because they didn't know how they should reply at this moment.

"Anyway, isn't that what your 《Swapped Lives》program is about? To let people like us know about the poverty here, reach out our helping hands, and let the poor children here work harder after witnessing a more prosperous city. I think that this is a very good definition, but the poverty in the village is not formed overnight. It is formed after decades or hundreds of years of backwardness. I personally call on everyone to help these poor villages and let the children here become like us, with more options and routes that they can walk. "

Like this, a high hat was given to the television crew. Zhou Zekai liked to do things like this, easily catching people within his trap. As long as the television crew wanted to broadcast this part, then they will definitely call out to others.

The so-called "swapped" reality show wasn’t simply referring to things ending after seeing the city kids change for the better in the countryside, and seeing how heart-wrenching the obedient children from the countryside are. People must understand the significance of the show after it ends.

How are our friends from the countryside doing after they swapped back? What about the kids from the city? These were all what we should pay attention to.

Tang Bingyu stared at Zhou Zekai beside her, struck again with the feeling that she did not seem to recognize him. Compared to what this person casually said, her own reasons for coming here were so shallow. Whether it was her dream to become a celebrity or her desire to be famous, she only disliked this rural area; she never thought about what she could change with her arrival in the village …

Zhou Zekai also smiled towards Tang Bingyu. He knew that this clever girl was currently falling into self-doubt, but who didn’t have a reason? Whether it was to become a star or whatever, true personal growth was being able to use your identity or your own ability to change something.
