Chapter 545 Arrival at the Location
"Disgusting." Anjing was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, turned her head and closed her eyes: "I'm going to sleep for a while, wake me up when we get there."
"Okay, go to sleep."
The car was swaying gently, and Anjing, who had only intended to close her eyes, unexpectedly actually fell asleep.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the village entrance. Yan Su gently shook her: "An'an, we're here."
Anjing opened her eyes, made a soft "hmm" sound, and rubbed her eyes: "Pretty fast."
The two of them got out of the car carrying the equipment.
Yan Su deliberately played the victim: "The drive was so choking I almost choked to death."
Anjing retorted, "If you have a mask but don't wear it, whose fault is that?"
“I’m driving, how am I supposed to wear it? You’re just thinking about your own enjoyment, you didn’t even offer to help me put it on.”
Anjing looked puzzled: "You can get me a mask, but you can't bring one for yourself?"
Yan Su leaned closer and said, "Were you touched by my thoughtfulness?"
Quietly, disgusted, she dug her toes into the ground and clenched her fists: "Yan Su, don't force me to take action!"
Yan Su quickly dodged, saying, "Mind your image, the village secretary is here."
Anjing turned her head and saw a man walking towards her. He was about fifty years old, wearing glasses and a simple dark blue sweater. "President An and Comrade Xiao Yan, right? I am the village secretary of Qiantang Village. You can call me Lao Li. Director Zhang has already greeted me. Welcome to Qiantang Village. Was your journey smooth?"
An Jing smiled brightly: "Sure, sure. We're just here to scout out a location and take a few photos. You can just tell us how to get there; there's no need for us to accompany you."
"Alright, alright, our home is over there, the red house." The village secretary pointed it out to the two of them, then said, "After you've seen the sights, why don't you have a meal before you go? I'll cook you a couple of dishes, how about that?"
"Isn't this too much trouble..."
"Hey, your filming in our village is indirectly boosting our village's economy. I'm so grateful to you, don't even mention the trouble."
Anjing smiled and said, "Okay, you can take us to see the sights first, and we can have dinner if we have time."
"Okay." Party Secretary Li led the two to the foot of the mountain, pointed out a small path leading up the mountain, and then went home first.
Qiantang Village is located in a remote area, but the scenery in the mountains is better than that in the countryside.
Along the way, Yan Su worked tirelessly as a helper. He would hand over whatever An Jing wanted before she even asked. When they reached the mountain, he practically pulled her up the steep sections of the road.
Anjing was responsible for using her camera to capture suitable scenes and sharing them in the group chat and with the crew.
After a day of communication via WeChat, we finally finalized the selection of several major scenic spots.
As darkness fell, the group prepared to descend the mountain.
An Jing didn't feel very tired, but Yan Su was covered in sweat. When he saw her looking over, he smiled.
They were all exhausted, and I don't know what they were laughing about.
When we arrived at the village secretary's house, dinner was already prepared.
In the countryside, entertaining guests is very affordable, with a table full of fish and meat.
When Old Li saw them come in, he quickly fetched well water for them to wash their hands and said cheerfully, "You must be exhausted after climbing the mountain all day. The chickens and ducks are freshly slaughtered and will be ready soon."
An Jing politely replied, "We'll just have a simple meal; Secretary Li, you're too kind."
"Hey, they're all raised by ourselves, so it didn't cost any money." Seeing that the two had finished washing their hands, Secretary Li invited them into the house: "My wife works at the township clinic, so she's probably still on her way. Comrade An and Comrade Xiao Yan, come on, let's eat first."
"Oh, let's wait for my sister-in-law to come back before we go together?" Anjing felt a little embarrassed by the other person's enthusiasm.
"Hey, don't be shy. You need to rush back after you finish eating. We're not in a hurry. I've already saved her portion!"
After Lao Li's repeated persuasion, An Jing and Yan Su felt that it would be impolite to refuse any longer, so they sat down at the table together.
Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, An Jing exclaimed, "Secretary Li, your cooking skills are excellent!"
Party Secretary Li said proudly, "Of course! Without my excellent cooking skills, how could I have won over your sister-in-law?"
"Your sister-in-law is so lucky," Anjing exclaimed.
"It's alright, it's alright," Secretary Li said modestly.
Yan Su coughed lightly and interjected, "Secretary Li, don't be modest. We are both men with superb cooking skills. Marrying someone like us is definitely a blessing."
Anjing poked him with her chopsticks: "Ha, you think you can compare to Secretary Li?"
"How can it be inferior, Xiao Yan? I admire your confidence." After sitting down, Secretary Li took out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor): "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate?"
Yan Su quickly waved his hand: "No, Secretary Li, it's enough that we appreciate it. I have to drive later."
"Oh, right, I forgot about that," Secretary Li put away the wine and poured tea for the two of them instead: "Then let's use tea instead of wine!"
The two of them smiled and agreed.
From the start of the meal, Yan Su barely ate anything himself, busy carefully serving food to An Jing.
The village secretary, seeing this, chuckled and said, "President An, this young man Yan is quite good, very considerate. You should cherish him. Back when my wife and I were dating, we were just as sweet..."
As he spoke, he began to reminisce about the past. Anjing wanted to explain, but she couldn't even find a chance to interject, so she had no choice but to give up.
After talking for a long time, Secretary Li finally realized what he had said and laughed, "Hey, I've said too much. You young people don't like to hear this, do you?"
Yan Su laughed and said, "No, Secretary Li and his wife have been so loving for so many years, it's really enviable."
Secretary Li glanced at An Jing and teased, "Little Yan, you still need to work harder. I think we click, so I'll teach you a trick today. Women are all about coaxing them. Never try to reason with them. If they get angry, it's definitely because we men are wrong. Stick to this principle, and there's no one you can't win over!" Secretary Li said boldly.
Yan Su nodded: "I understand, Secretary Li. What should I do if admitting my mistake and coaxing me doesn't work? Do you have any other clever tricks to share?"
"Well, there's a lot to say about that..."
Anjing, who couldn't stand it any longer, made an excuse: "Secretary, where is your power strip? I'm going to charge my phone."
Party Secretary Li pointed into the room: "Next to the TV, can you see it?"
"Okay, I'll go look for it." Anjing went inside with her phone in her pocket, pointing to Yan Su's phone before leaving.
Yan Su opened WeChat and received a warning from An Jing: "Eat up, and come back early!"
Yan Su stared at the quiet figure and smiled.
The village party secretary doesn't usually have many people to talk to in the village, but at the dinner table, he and Yan Su seemed to have hit it off immediately, and he poured out all his "wishes-giving tips" to him.
Yan Su glanced at the time halfway through and realized it was getting late. Just as he was about to speak and try to interrupt him, he felt the ground tremble.
