Zhou Chen was walking in the woods, always keeping vigilance. This was a forest, and it was on the seaside, so the chance of snakes appearing was quite high.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of stepping on a branch. I turned around and saw that Xu Hongdou was following me.
"How did you come?"
"Sitting here is also for chatting. Come in with you and take a look. Maybe you can see something interesting."
Zhou Chen said: "Then you may be disappointed, you haven't found anything interesting yet."
Xu Hongdou walked over calmly. Just when she walked in front of Zhou Chen and was about to speak, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yeah, rabbit."
I saw a gray rabbit jumping in the direction she was pointing, but she screamed, frightening the rabbit, and it swooped out and disappeared from the sight of Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou in the blink of an eye.
among.
Xu Hongdou said with a face of surprise: "There are actually hares here. I haven't seen hares in many years."
When she was a child, she lived with her grandma in the countryside for a long time and saw hares in the fields. However, her grandma disappeared later. After she moved to the city, she also saw rabbits, but they were not hares, but domesticated rabbits.
Little rabbit.
Zhou Chen said: "This is the seaside after all. With such a large mountain forest, it is normal for there to be hares. Let's walk around and see if there are any others."
The two walked together in the woods for a long time, but to their disappointment, they did not encounter any other small animals, not even rabbits.
"Go back, after all, this is not a zoo, nor is it a large wild forest."
Xu Hongdou was disappointed, but Zhou Chen thought it was normal. Although this was a rural area, it had experienced deforestation, and the chance of wild animals existing was relatively low.
Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou returned to the camp. Others asked curiously: "Did you find anything?"
Xu Hongdou said: "I saw a hare and it ran too fast."
"It's starting to get dark. Let's make a fire first and roast the sweet potatoes later. When the stars come out, we can eat and drink while watching the Milky Way."
Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands and invited everyone to light a fire and share the table together. When everyone finished their work, the sky was completely dark, but the stars had not come out yet.
"Phew, it's finally fine."
Several people sat down individually, raised their drinks and beers together, and cheered: "Here, cheers."
"cheers!"
Eating sweet potatoes and drinking beer, Da Mai said happily: "Well, this roasted sweet potato is really delicious. I have been working in Aunt Feng's orchard for a few days. It is really delicious these days."
Nana smiled and said: "So, people should participate in more labor and sweat more."
Xu Hongdou said: "I think so too, but it's okay to participate in this kind of labor occasionally. If you do it all the time, I probably won't be able to stand it."
Although her work in the hotel requires her to stand all the time and is very tiring, it is not the same as the tiredness of farm work. She can persist in standing all the time, but she will definitely not be able to bear it if she is asked to do farm work all the time.
Damai agreed: "Me too, a homebody like me can't bear to do farm work like this every day. Among the few of us, I have done the least these days."
Xie Xiaochun said: "It doesn't matter how much you do or how little you do, the important thing is to participate. Thanks to your help this time, otherwise we and Aunt Feng alone would probably have to work a few more days to complete the project."
"Yes, it's really all thanks to you this time. I'd like to thank you here." Xie Zhiyao put down the barbecue tongs in his hand and cupped his hands with Zhou Chen and others to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Xie, we are not helping you, so why are you thanking us?"
"Yes, we are helping Aunt Feng's family. At best, you may have lied to us, but today's team building will be considered as an apology from you."
"Nana is right, Mr. Xie, even if you apologize today, I really want to eat chicken wings. Hurry and bake them for us."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
While he was enjoying his meal, Hu Youyu suddenly asked Damai, "Damai, when are you leaving?"
Damai replied: "I'm leaving next week. I've already agreed with Xiaochun to check out next week."
Xu Hongdou sighed, with a look of reluctance on his face: "Damai, I'm leaving now, why don't you stay a few more days? My three-month lease will expire soon."
Damai shook his head: "No, I've been out for too long. My parents have been calling me every now and then in the past three days, urging me to go back."
Nana asked: "Then when you go back, why don't you continue writing novels instead of going out to work? Have you discussed this matter with your parents?"
"We have discussed it. My dad doesn't really hate me writing novels, he just doesn't want me to stay in my room all day without going out. I have promised my dad that I will go out at least four days a week."
"That's good. Although it's good here, it can't compare to being at home."
Although Nana has a very good relationship with Damai and is reluctant to let Damai leave, she also sincerely thinks about Damai. Going home will definitely be more convenient and more secure than staying in Yunmiao Village.
She actually wants to go home, but her situation is very complicated. No one here knows her. She can live a normal life, but if she returns home, she will only face other people's strange looks and rumors.
Hu Youyu asked: "Da Mai, after you leave, will you come back to see us?"
Damai said: "Of course, I will definitely come back and stay for a while next year. Will you still be there then?"
Hu Youyu smiled and said: "I don't know if they are there, but I am definitely there, and I have nowhere to go."
Nana raised her hands and said: "I must be there, Hongdou, Zhou Chen, where are you two?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "If we come again next year, we will definitely stay in the same room."
"Wow!"
The strange screams from the crowd made Xu Hongdou's face suddenly turn red, and she pushed Zhou Chen next to her.
"What are you talking about? I didn't say I wanted to be your girlfriend. Don't make fun of me."
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I'm not joking. I sincerely invite you to come with me on vacation."
Xu Hongdou gave him a big look: "You can't say for sure. If I'm busy with work, I might not have time, but I will try my best to adjust my time. I have also figured it out these days. I can't do what I did before.
We work day and night, and we still need some time and space to rest. After all, we don’t know who will come first tomorrow or the unexpected, so sometimes we still have to enjoy ourselves in time.”
Xie Zhiyao applauded: "Well said, if you all come by then, if there is no room, I will arrange for you to stay in a B&B. The B&B invested by our President Zhou will definitely open next year."
Damai blinked and looked at Zhou Chen: "Mr. Zhou's B&B, if we stay at it then, can it be free?"
Zhou Chen said: "Of course, what kind of relationship do we have? It must be free."
"That's great, Mr. Zhou, we will remember what you said, and we will stay at your B&B from now on."
"Teacher Hu, Mr. Zhou, in this situation, why don't you sing a song?"
Nana, Damai and others started making noises.
Hu Youyu patted his chest and said, "Of course, no problem. I'll warm up the place first, and then let Zhou Chen perform."
He first picked up the guitar and started singing. Compared with his previous singing, this time he obviously improved a lot.
During the recent period, he often went to Zhou Chen to ask for music knowledge. Zhou Chen did not hide it and taught him a lot of music knowledge, singing skills, etc., so he was able to make rapid progress in a short period of time.
After Hu Youyu finished singing, he handed the guitar to Zhou Chen.
"Teacher Zhou, please play another song for us."
Others also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, you can sing a song too."
"Okay, since everyone is kindly invited, let me sing a song."
Zhou Chen took the guitar, played with it a few times, and then whispered: "A song of "Friends" for everyone."
This is a popular old song. As soon as Zhou Chen started singing a few lines, Nana and Damai started singing along. Then, as if it was contagious, everyone else started singing along too. In the blink of an eye, everything changed.
It became a chorus.
…………
Xie Zhiyao did not lie. You can indeed see the beautiful Milky Way here. Everyone was mesmerized by it when they looked at this beautiful Milky Way.
Compared with this vast Milky Way starry sky, human beings are really small and fragile.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone couldn't stand it anymore and went into the tents that had been set up long ago to sleep, but some of them didn't sleep.
For example, Xu Hongdou couldn't sleep, so she put on her coat and sat in front of the campfire, looking at the stars blankly.
Zhou Chen sat down next to her and covered her body with the blanket in his hand.
"It's cold at night, don't freeze."
"Thanks."
Xu Hongdou smiled sweetly at Zhou Chen, and then wrapped the blanket tightly.
