Chapter 59
He didn't go to Chu Xia. He knew that Chu Xia must have gotten up and might be there to help.
"Jingyuan, get up."
"Hello, uncle."
A farmer saw Jing Yuan walking towards the venue, so he said hello to him, and there was no chance for him in the future. Jing Yuan responded to him with a smile, and then they left.
He went to the conference venue. The tables and chairs had been placed. The food had not yet been put on the big long table. He did not see Chu Xia. She was probably helping in the kitchen. Chu Xia liked to be in the kitchen.
Stay here, he knows this.
"Where's Miss Chu? Why haven't you seen her?"
The village chief came over and saw Jing Yuan standing here without seeing Chu Xia, so he asked him. He hadn't gone to the kitchen to inspect, so he didn't know where Chu Xia was.
"I don't know either. I came right over after I woke up. She might still be in the room."
Jing Yuan didn't mention the possibility that she was in the kitchen, so he just said so. He probably didn't go to the kitchen to see.
The village chief nodded, thinking that Chu Xia was sorting things in the room. After all, girls would have more things. He didn't think much about it, and then directed everyone to continue working.
Jing Yuan found a chair and sat down. Seeing how busy everyone was, he couldn't bear it. But the village chief refused to let him help, so he just sat here in a daze. He supported his head with his arms, and the sunlight became stronger.
The photo made him sleepy, so he squinted his eyes and rested for a while.
Chu Xia had done a lot of work. She was sitting there and resting. The ladies began to carry the prepared meals outside. After a while, men came over and took the dishes to the conference venue.
At noon, the party will start. There will be a large dinner party at noon, and there will be a bonfire party in the evening.
"Put the prepared food on the table outside first. The village chief will send someone over to serve the food later."
A woman in charge ordered everyone, and then they got busy, taking out the prepared meals and putting them outside.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon. Many men came over, each holding a tray in their hands, then put the food on the tray and carried it away.
Chu Xia rested for a while and left the kitchen. It was not convenient for her here. She was going to go to the conference venue to have a look. As soon as she went out, she met the village chief.
"Miss Chu, why are you here? The prince is at the conference venue. You can go over."
"Okay, I'm looking for him too. Thank you, village chief."
He was so lucky. Fortunately, he didn't let the village chief know that she had secretly helped, otherwise she would have been a drag on the aunt. She walked away quickly and headed towards the conference venue.
As soon as she arrived there, she saw Jing Yuan dozing there. He looked very funny. Chu Xia looked at him and couldn't stop laughing.
"Jing Yuan, wake up."
She called Jing Yuan and asked him to wake up. Jing Yuan opened his confused eyes and looked at Chu Xia's enlarged face in front of him.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
He asked with a look of horror on his face. Chu Xia finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
"Nothing, why did you fall asleep?"
Chu Xia looked at Jing Yuan with a smile and saw that he was still sleeping soundly. She felt really embarrassed for disturbing him.
Jing Yuan scratched his head, not knowing when he fell asleep.
It was already noon, and the party was about to start. The two of them had already entered the venue, looking at the sumptuous lunch. They both felt hungry, so the two of them found a seat and sat down.
The village chief sat next to them and kept serving them food and wine.
"What are you going to do when you go back? Do you have any plans?"
Jing Yuan looked at Chu Xia, as if he was asking her opinion. Chu Xia also saw him looking at her and received his eyes.
"Village Chief, we don't have anything to do. We just feel homesick and it's time to go back. After all, we've been here for a long time. It's time to go back and take a look."
The village chief nodded, feeling that what Chu Xia said did make sense. After all, this village was not their home, and everyone wanted to go home.
"I hope you have a safe journey, be sure to pay attention to safety, and remember to write us a letter when you go back."
Jing Yuan nodded and agreed to the village chief's request.
The party is about to start, and the food has already started to be served. The strong aroma of the food makes everyone salivate.
The village chief stood up, and everyone looked at him. Anticipating what he would say, the village chief cleared his throat.
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. Let me say a few words. Today's meal is to see off Jing Yuan and Chu Xia. Despite this, I still hope that everyone will not be sad. We are all happier. It's no big deal.
Yes. If we are destined to meet again, we hope they both have a smooth journey and we send them our most sincere blessings."
Led by the village chief, everyone raised their wine glasses. They drank all the wine in one go, which was regarded as a farewell drink.
Everyone started to eat, and the party was very lively. They were all happy, and no one showed any sadness.
Playing in the afternoon, everyone got busy again, packing up things and preparing for the bonfire party in the evening, which was the last activity.
"You two go back and take a nap first, otherwise you won't be sleepy and will lose your energy at night."
They nodded, they were indeed sleepy, after all, the weather was so hot.
Jing Yuan sent Chu Xia back to the room. The weather outside was very hot. Chu Xia fell asleep while lying on the bed, and she had the similar dream again.
"Chu Xia, get up, it's already afternoon."
After a long time, Jing Yuan knocked on her door outside. Chu Xia got up from the bed with sleepy eyes. She didn't know how long she slept, but she only felt that she was very tired.
She went out and saw Jing Yuan knocking on the door.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Chu Xia asked him, not knowing what happened.
"It's time to have dinner, so I came here to wake you up. There will be a bonfire party soon, so it's easier to get dressed."
Jing Yuan explained to her and told her the next activities.
They went back and went to the conference venue. They saw everyone holding firewood and preparing to pile it up.
Soon, the venue was all set up. The bonfire party was about to start, and Chu Xia felt a little nervous. It was her first time to attend such a large party, and she wasn't very good at dancing.
Jing Yuan seemed to notice her worry and patted her shoulder to reassure her.
"It's okay. I'm here, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Chu Xia nodded. When he said this, she felt a lot more relieved. Soon, people gathered together. The bonfire party was about to begin, and people were in a happy mood.
"Please enjoy it tonight, don't be restrained, everyone is happy."
As the village chief said this, everyone was playing happily. The bonfire party had already begun, and the torches had already lit the pile of matches.
The bright firelight illuminated their faces, and everyone started to circle around the fire. They were all very happy. The scene was very lively. Chu Xia and Jing Yuan also circled around the fire. They all held hands and were very happy.
Smiling.
After an unknown amount of time, they all got tired of playing, so they sat down to rest for a while.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Have your things been sorted?"
Jing Yuan sat next to Chu Xia and asked her. Chu Xia rolled her hair and then looked at Jing Yuan.
"Actually, there is nothing to sort out. We didn't take anything with us when we came. It was all given to us by the villagers in the village. I have nothing to take away."
Chu Xia's expression was a little lonely, and when she said this, she felt a little sad.
But what she said was indeed correct, and Jing Yuan could only think like this. He didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them sat in silence. Time passed quickly, and the bonfire party was about to end.
Everyone was packing up their things and getting ready to go home and sleep. Chu Xia looked at them a little reluctantly, and they waved goodbye to Chu Xia.
Maybe after today, they will never see each other again. Maybe there will be no chance to come back in the future, and they are really reluctant to leave. But there is no way, they all have to separate.
Jing Yuan sent Chu Xia back to the room, and after watching her go in, he left. Both of them stayed up all night, constantly recalling what had happened before.
The night passed quickly, and Xiaotan came to pick them up early the next day. He brought many carriages and horses and stopped at the entrance of the village.
"You came so early, why don't you go and sit in the village?"
Several farmers happened to be going to plow the fields. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Xiao Tan and greeted him. He knew that Xiao Tan was here to pick them up.
"Uncle, I won't go sit in the village. I'm still waiting for them to come."
Xiaotan smiled and said to them, and then they left. Last night was the last time I saw them, and sure enough they were leaving. It was so fast, they had been together for two or three months.
Xiaotan sat on the horse and looked in the direction of the village. He didn't know what they were doing and they didn't come out. He wanted to go into the village to urge them, but he didn't know how to pack things earlier.
"Chu Xia, are you okay? Xiaotan is already here, right at the entrance of the village."
Jing Yuan was carrying his luggage and standing at the door of Chu Xia's room, knocking on the door and calling her name.
As for Chu Xia, in fact, she had already packed up. She was just in the room and didn't want to leave. Looking at this familiar scene, she didn't want to leave at all.
"Okay, I'll go out right away."
Chu Xia responded to him from inside, then carried her package and went out. She only took a few things and kept the rest, for fear that after taking them, she would miss this place.
