Chapter 84: Baby is hungry

"Here." Wen Mingyuan frowned and handed it to the driver. "Don't tell anyone about this."

The driver's face was full of questions. What could he say? The car was not broken. But he couldn't resist Wen Mingyuan. Wen Mingyuan insisted on giving it to him. He thought it was okay. Who wouldn't be happy to get something for free?

Moreover, Wen Mingyuan looked like he didn't believe in himself. He didn't believe me even when I said I wouldn't tell anyone. It would be fine if I took the money to make him feel at ease. After all, she was a star and he was just a driver. He couldn't afford the consequences if anything happened.

For some unknown reason, he accepted the stack of red papers.

"Remember to cut this part." Wen Mingyuan didn't look at the photographer, so he naturally didn't see the photographer's annoyed expression. After he said this, he continued playing with his phone.

[? What is going on?]

[I am dying of laughter. I guess Wen Mingyuan’s fans can’t laugh anymore.]

[I really don’t understand, after the incident in the last episode, why are there still a lot of die-hard fans protecting him and trying to whitewash him?]

[How else can you be called a die-hard fan? You are washing it white every day. What? Is your house bleaching agent?]

[Sisterhood talks more hahaha.]

[Brother Yuan, look at Big Eyes! Brother Yuan! What on earth are you looking at?]

[Big Eyes was making a scene, but the real owner was still chatting with someone.]

[I don’t know who he is chatting with. Look at the corner of Wen Mingyuan’s mouth…Isn’t he the one he’s talking to?]

[! Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, they really look alike!]

[Although Wen Mingyuan is an actor, he has been single since his debut, and most of his fans are girlfriends. If he were to really fall in love, wouldn’t a lot of fans leave him?]

[Don’t be so picky. Can’t Brother Yuan just send messages to his friends? Why are you hoping that our Brother Yuan will lose followers every day? Sorry, our Yuan fans will love Brother Yuan forever!]

[Okay, okay~ You guys, Brother Yuan are the best, your Brother Yuan’s personality is unshakable~ You guys, Brother Yuan, lock it up with Brother Yuan~]

When they got outside the village, the driver dropped them off and said, "The director said you have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

Fortunately, the road was not difficult to travel on, and they didn't bring much stuff with them, so they thanked the driver and left with their luggage.

"Baby, can you drag it?" This time Yanyan did not carry a big schoolbag, but brought the first issue of the dinosaur suitcase.

Yanyan nodded: "The cub is very strong."

There is a large stone at the entrance of the village, and there are several ginkgo trees on the roadside above the entrance. When the breeze blows, the leaves of the ginkgo trees rustle, and the golden leaves fall like small fans.

However...

Yanyan wrinkled her nose: "Stinky."

It is the smell of ginkgo fruit. Ginkgo fruit emits a rather special smell, which often smells sour, a bit pungent and not very pleasant. It is a mixed smell with a green and corrupt scent.

"Then let's go in quickly." Xie Luoshu pulled Yanyan and ran quickly into the village.

[Hey? Do ginkgo nuts smell bad?]

[Yeah, don’t you know?]

[I don’t know. The ginkgo nuts I eat are all cooked.]

[I have never seen ginkgo fruit, but I have seen ginkgo leaves.]

[Is ginkgo delicious?]

[I had the chicken stewed with ginkgo nuts. The chicken was tender and juicy, and it was cooked just right. It was easy to break off the bones with a light bite. The skin of the ginkgo nuts was slightly tough, and it had a crunchy texture when chewed. It was slightly bitter, but I thought it was acceptable.]

[It’s bitter, forget it…]

Walking along the entrance of the village, you can see the busy figures of the villagers. They are carrying hoes and baskets, rushing to the stone mill at the entrance of the village. Several elderly people are arranging winnowing baskets, preparing to dry the harvested grain.

Most of the villagers were very friendly and greeted the strangers very warmly: "Hey, young man, what are you doing here?"

"Auntie, we are here to record a show. 'Baby is Coming 2'."

"Why call me auntie? I'm a grandmother. What's that? " The old lady is old and her hearing is not very good.

The grandmother at the side said, "It's the show with babies that the village chief mentioned two days ago."

"Oh~" the old man suddenly realized, "This is your child, the baby is so cute."

Yanyan proudly said: "Thank you grandma~"

"Ouch." Another grandmother covered her mouth and laughed, "If I call you great-grandma, my great-grandson will be grown up now!"

Xie Luoshu was surprised: "Grandma looks very strong."

"I had children early," the old lady explained. "The younger generations in my family also got married and had children when they were old enough. I'm already over 80 years old!"

That's how it is. But it's not common to see an old man in his eighties who looks very healthy, works very skillfully, and has a smile on his face.

"Over eighty! Grandma thinks she's in her sixties." Xie Luoshu said.

"You are such a good talker, young man." These words made the two grandmothers very happy. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, such nice words would make people happy. "Are you looking for the village chief's house?"

"Yes." Xie Luoshu nodded, "Which way is that?"

"It just so happens that we also have to go to the village chief's house. Let's go together."

"Really?" Xie Luoshu did not refuse, "That's great, thank you grandma."

"Thank you, grandma~"

Yanyan was fair and tender, with a chubby body. He spoke politely. He looked exactly like a fat grandson in the old man's eyes, and the old man liked him at first sight.

"How old is the sweet baby this year?"

"Three years old." Yanyan said, "The baby has gone to kindergarten."

Grandma: "Oh, that's great. What did you learn in kindergarten?"

"I have learned so much~ counting, drawing..." Yanyan said that he liked the two grandmothers very much, because the two grandmothers took turns praising her and almost made her shy.

The two grandmothers even took out candies from their coat pockets and gave them to Yanyan, not forgetting to give some to Xie Luoshu.

Further into the village, a vast expanse of golden rice fields came into view. The villagers had already been working in the fields. Holding sickles, they bent over to cut the rice, their movements were swift and smooth, and the rice grains fell neatly one after another. The threshers sang in the fields. The villagers picked up the rice bundles and skillfully fed the rice ears into the machines, and the full grains of rice immediately gushed out. The villagers carrying baskets walked steadily across the ridges of the fields, their shoulders shaking up and down with their steps, and the baskets were full of heavy rice grains.

Whenever I see them, I will ask them, "Have you eaten?" "Where are you from?" "What are you doing?" They will also praise the handsome boy and the cute baby.

Occasionally, the two old ladies stopped to chat with the villagers passing by. Xie Luoshu and Yanyan listened to them. They were all talking about family matters, but they felt warm in their hearts.

[Wuwuwu, I miss my grandma...]

[The villagers are so simple and warm-hearted!]

[The countryside is really fun! Roasting sweet potatoes, fighting crickets, catching fish... it's so interesting!]

[I can only say that many children today are quite pitiful. They can no longer experience the joy of the countryside. Now, apart from studying, they spend their days playing with electronic products.]

[Also, the relationship between neighbors is very good. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If something happens, the neighbors will be the first to come and help without hesitation.]

[That’s right. Now, let alone getting along with my neighbors, I still have to be on guard…]

[It looks a bit sad...old men and women in their 70s and 80s still have to do farm work, and there are no young people at home to help. ]

[Young people have all gone to work in the city, right? After all, it is more profitable to work in the city than to work on the farm. And most people also want to build a career in the city and earn money to support their parents.]

[It’s mainly because the elderly are used to it. My parents were like that. They brought them to the city to live with us, but they couldn’t get used to it and insisted on going back to the countryside to farm. We had no choice but to send them back.]

The village chief's home was not far from the village entrance. After receiving the news, the village chief came out to greet them, but they did not expect that the village chief was very young, only in his thirties.

"Hello, village chief."

"Hello, hello." The village chief shook hands with Xie Luoshu and led them to the Yasuda Village Guesthouse nearby. "Please come in. Would you like some tea?"

"Warm water will do."

Xie Luoshu looked around and saw no cameras, nor anyone from the director's crew, which made him a little suspicious. While the village chief was pouring water, he secretly asked the cameraman, "Are we sure? Is this Yasuda Village?"

The photographer said nothing. Xie Luoshu flew to the door, took a look, and then jumped back. It was Yasudamura, for sure.

"What's wrong?" The village chief turned on the warm water.

"Nothing." Xie Luoshu shook his head, "See if the other guests have arrived."

"The director is about to speak," said the village chief, "and I want to thank you for choosing our village this time."

"Nothing." Xie Luoshu's mind was spinning rapidly. The key was whether he had chosen it or not. "Antian Village has pleasant scenery, and the villagers are very warm and hospitable, and the neighbors are harmonious."

"Of course, our village is great!" The village chief couldn't stop talking about their village, and his eyes were full of love. "The corn we grow here is the most delicious. I have eaten all kinds of corn over the years, and our village's corn is the best. The rice is also good and fragrant. We also raise field fish. These field fish are raised in rice fields. The meat is good and is most suitable for braised..."

Xie Luoshu and Yanyan just listened to the village chief recounting the good things about the village.

"Gurgle~" The village chief stopped the car at the sound of his stomach growling.

Yanyan covered her belly and said, "It's not a baby~"

Xie Luoshu couldn't help but chuckle, "Sorry, children get hungry easily..."

"No problem, no problem." The village chief Si didn't mind at all. "It's almost time for dinner. Come to my house and eat together. It's just a matter of two more pairs of chopsticks."

Xie Luoshu glanced at the time. It was half past ten, so it was still early. Yanyan was hungry because she had dragged her suitcase for a long distance and she didn't eat well in the morning. She just watched and cried with Tomato. She couldn't come even if she called her. Xie Luoshu was not used to it. Children should not be spoiled too much, otherwise it would be a bad habit.

Of course, it was not good to let Yanyan go hungry, so I stuffed a piece of bread into Yanyan's mouth and brought some snacks with me. I didn't expect that he was not hungry on the way, but he became hungry while listening to the village chief's speech.

"Braised fish?" Yan Yan smacked her lips. She was already greedy when she heard the village chief's description. The braised fish made by Aunt Lin was delicious and Yan Yan liked it very much.

"What a coincidence." The village chief said with a smile, "It just so happens that there is one. Come on, it's right next to us. Children don't eat much. I know that you celebrities also control your food intake to maintain your figure. There are only my wife and I in our family, and it's just right that you are here to liven things up. My wife really likes children."

"That's a trouble." Since the village chief said so, Xie Luoshu accepted it generously.

"It's no trouble."
