Chapter 148 Nian Nian's summer trip ends
"Yes. Your father is filming in the mountains." Shi Nanqi pinched his chubby face.
Li Yan looked at Nian Nian's carefree appearance, his thoughts drifting away, but he quickly pulled himself back: "The road ahead is not good, we have to walk a short distance, just follow me."
When Shi Nanqi heard that the road was bad, he quickly reached out and said, "Nian Nian and Du An, hold on to me."
The small team consists of Li Yan as the leader, Shi Nanqi Nian Nian and Jiang Duan in the middle, and Shi Linzhuo at the end.
Several people stared at the ground, stepped on the grass and removed the leaves along the way, and soon they saw the temporary venue built by the crew.
"You guys wait here, I'll go call Brother Shi."
Li Yan gave some instructions and went through the layers of staff to find Shi Guilin.
Nian Nian and the others stood in the distance, looking around.
"This remote place also has its advantages. At least the fans can't keep up with us." Shi Nanqi said.
"Fan?" Nian Nian tugged at Shi Nanqi's clothes. "Are there any fanciers to eat?"
“These fans are not those fans.”
Just as Shi Nanqi was about to explain the difference between the two, Shi Guilin came over wearing complicated ancient costume with sweat on his forehead.
"Papa!" Nian Nian opened her arms and threw herself onto Shi Guilin's thighs.
After leaning against Shi Guilin for a while and inhaling his scent, Nian Nian raised her head high and tried to look at him: "Papa, you are sweating. Is it too hot? Let me give you Nian Nian's hat."
He looked so distressed that Shi Guilin was heartbroken. He ran to Shi Nanqi and asked for his hat back, holding it high with both hands: "Papa, squat down for a moment. Nian Nian is holding your hat to block the sun for you."
Shi Guilin's eyes swept over the lace-trimmed straw hat he was holding, and he felt a mixture of amusement and sadness. He squatted down and hugged Nian Nian tightly. "Daddy needs to work and can't wear a hat. Thank you, honey."
He refused Nian Nian's hat, turned around, got a handful of bananas from some staff member, and stuffed them into Nian Nian's arms: "Be good, Daddy will play with you after get off work."
Nian Nian was very considerate. She stood next to Jiang Duan and shared a banana with everyone, assuring them, "Papa will work, and Nian Nian will wait."
Shi Guilin kissed him on the cheek, gave Li Yan a few instructions, and hurried back to the set.
Li Yan disappeared for a few minutes and came back with four small stools for Shi Linzhuo and the others to rest on.
Nian Nian picked one up and sat down. He held a banana in his hand but didn't rush to eat it. His sneaker-clad feet scraped against the small stones on the ground, making a dull friction sound.
The leaves behind them suddenly rustled, and when Nian Nian and the others looked back, they saw a monkey.
The monkey saw Nian Nian turned around, his gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, and he turned around a few times in a restless manner.
Nian Nian was stunned by his sudden action. Shi Nanqi took a half step forward and blocked his way.
The monkey glanced at Shi Nanqi and squatted down in a position where he wouldn't be able to see Nian Nian.
"Hey?" Shi Nanqi was surprised. "What does this mean?"
Jiang Duan said something surprising: "It likes Nian Nian and wants to see Nian Nian."
Shi Linzhuo started his usual rhetorical question again: "How did you know this?"
Jiang Duan glanced at him and said, "I just know it."
Nian Nian kept staring at the monkey. After a while, Nian Nian got down from the bench and slowly moved in front of the monkey. He thought for a moment and handed the banana to him: "Do you want a banana? Nian Nian gives it to you."
The monkey snatched it away without hesitation, and deftly peeled off the yellow skin, revealing the white banana fruit inside.
Nian Nian pursed her lower lip and watched him peel the banana intently.
The monkey noticed his gaze and handed the peeled banana in his hand to Nian Nian.
"Wow." Shi Nanqi exclaimed softly.
Nian Nian was stunned: "For Nian Nian?"
The monkey passed the banana forward again.
"Thank you." Nian Nian took the banana, thanked him, and thought of a name for him, "Uncle Monkey."
The monkey in front of me seemed very excited. It jumped up the tree, raised its arms and shouted, and pointed its hands everywhere, as if it wanted to point at the entire mountain.
Nian Nian held the banana and tried to look in the direction it pointed. But he was a short kid, and his field of vision was too small to see anything from the ground.
For the first time, Nian Nian experienced what it meant to have the will but not the ability: "Nian Nian can't see."
"That's the top of a mountain over there," Li Yan said. "Environmental management hasn't been very good in recent years, and a large area of the mountain has become barren."
"Ah." Shi Nanqi sighed briefly, "Are there no policy changes being issued?"
"It seems not." Li Yan recalled, "But recently, it seems that there are public welfare organizations related to environmental protection paying attention to this mountain. I saw those people going up the mountain to survey the environment."
Shi Linzhuo: "Alas. The natural environment must be well protected and cherished, otherwise the animals that inhabit this land will not be able to survive."
The gossips of the three people were all heard by Nian Nian and Jiang Duan, and they looked at the monkey on the treetop at the same time.
Nian Nian raised her eyebrows, worry mixed with sadness: "Uncle Monkey, are you going to be homeless?"
The monkey on the tree froze in its desperate waving motion, and its eyes stopped rolling.
When Nian Nian met his eyes, she felt depressed and sad for no reason.
Uncle Monkey was very kind and peeled a banana for him to eat. But Uncle Monkey, who was so kind, soon had no home to live in.
So pitiful.
Nian Nian doesn't want it to be homeless.
He pondered in distress, then ran to Shi Linzhuo in two steps and held his index finger knuckles: "Brother, Nian Nian wants to plant trees. Because Nian Nian is a little angel protecting the environment."
He held this honorary title for three full years in kindergarten.
Shi Linzhuo suddenly didn't follow his train of thought: "Planting trees? Here?"
"Yes." Nian Nian said seriously, "Nian Nian wants to help Uncle Monkey repair his house."
Shi Linzhuo was shocked by his childish yet ambitious words. Not only did he not say anything to dampen his mood, but he also seriously imagined a feasible plan in his mind: "If it is indeed a non-profit organization responsible for the ecology of this land, we can still find a way to contribute."
"At the very least, we can donate some money and add a little help."
Nian Nian is eager to save the monkey: "Nian Nian's New Year's money can be used."
Jiang Duan said, "If it's not enough, you can use mine."
Shi Linzhuo bent down and rubbed the back of their heads with his big hands: "Have you thought about it? Are you kidding?"
The corners of Nian Nian's lips drooped unhappily. He turned his head and looked at Uncle Monkey earnestly from afar. For no reason, a crystal tear burst out of his eyes and slid down his cheek to his chin.
Shi Linzhuo heard him say with tears in his eyes, "I don't want Nian Nian to be homeless. She's so pitiful. Besides, there are probably many animals in the mountains who have no place to live like Uncle Monkey."
Jiang Duan couldn't bear to see Nian Nian cry, so he wiped away her tears as soon as they fell.
Shi Nanqi also came over.
Children's way of dealing with the world and their feelings are completely pure and sincere. They don't think that Nian Nian's crying is without reason.
This is the pureness from the hearts of the children. They cherish and understand Nian Nian's thoughts.
"Don't cry, Nian Nian." Shi Linzhuo promised him in the same serious manner, "We will talk to my uncle about this later. I believe there will be a good result."
The results exceeded everyone's expectations—they were surprisingly good.
The RV drove smoothly down the mountain.
After finishing his scenes for the day, Shi Guilin downed half a bottle of ice water. Shi Linzhuo sat across from him and, as Nian Nian had hoped, recounted the public welfare work.
"Sure." Shi Guilin screwed the lid on the water bottle. "I'll pay for it."
Shi Linzhuo was startled: "Uncle, you, agreed?"
So easy? ?
"Yeah." Shi Guilin looked at him. "Didn't you hear clearly? I said, okay."
"Wow!" Nian Nian threw herself on his thighs and began to beat his strong thighs with her two small fists. "Thank you, Papa. Nian Nian will give you a free leg massage."
"Then Dad would also like to thank Nian Nian." Shi Guilin poked the sweet dimple on Nian Nian's cheek.
The car was driving on a winding mountain road. Shi Guilin held Nian Nian's chubby palm and watched the scenery along the road outside the car window constantly falling backwards. The shadows of the mountains became smaller and smaller as the car drove away until they disappeared.
That was the starting point of his meeting with Nian Nian.
Dashan regarded Nian Nian as a gift from God to him, so he gave the money for public welfare as a small gift in return.
Everything in nature is life.
Nian Nian, this lively little life, is thriving here. I hope that the beautiful nature can also last forever in that magical green mountain.
Every sip and every bite, fate is determined by heaven.
