MSISAS |Chapter 37: The First Day

Dabao Village is not just any ordinary mountain village. In recent years, with targeted poverty alleviation and young people returning to their hometowns, signs of prosperity have started to show.

Lu Xianzhi and the others took a bus to Dabao Village.

The first problem they had to solve was accommodation.

They needed to delve into the village and find hidden lodging places for themselves.

Xu Qing held onto Lu Xianzhi’s hand. She already knew this guy, Lu Xianzhi, had neither endurance nor stamina, especially because she was well aware of how embarrassed she was when climbing the mountain back then.

But walking on flat ground should not be too much of a problem, right?

Well, Xu Qing thought too much.

Lu Xianzhi, wearing a pair of cute little low-heels, suddenly squatted down and complained, “I can’t walk anymore.”

Xu Qing looked down, “What’s wrong? Is your foot chafed?”

“Mm.”

Xu Qing muttered to herself while lifting Lu Xianzhi up.

“I told you not to wear high heels, didn’t I? Your feet got blistered, right?”

Lu Xianzhi pouted, “Isn’t that what I have you for?”

Xu Qing tied her jacket around Lu Xianzhi’s waist, crouched halfway, and said to her, “Get on.”

Lu Xianzhi happily climbed onto Xu Qing’s back.

Xu Qing showed no expression, “Have you gained some weight?”

Lu Xianzhi angrily pounded on Xu Qing’s shoulder, “I haven’t gained weight!!”

Xu Qing looked back. Lu Xianzhi was pouting angrily, her profile almost without any excess flesh, clearly defined, with a high nose bridge and long eyelashes. When viewed from the side, her eyes seemed naturally bright and clear.

Lu Xianzhi got even angrier. How could some people never gain weight?

She would never admit that she always ate Xu Qing’s portion too.

Hmph.

Xu Qing adjusted Lu Xianzhi again. She felt nice to hold.

As they walked, they came across a household. This household only had a grandma, a little girl, and a small puppy.

Xu Qing put Lu Xianzhi down.

Lu Xianzhi, who was drifting off to sleep on Xu Qing’s back, was startled awake.

Her eyelids were still fighting, neither her left nor right eye willing to give in.

Xu Qing bent down slightly, looking at Lu Xianzhi, who was adorably awkward, and sighed.

She snapped her fingers to wake up both Lu Xianzhi’s eyelids and Lu Xianzhi herself.

Xu Qing smiled, “Your mouth, drool.”

Lu Xianzhi wiped the royal drool at the corner of her mouth and looked at Xu Qing walking ahead, following with resentment, “I wasn’t drooling!”

Xu Qing’s back also looked very nice, tall and slim, like a clothes rack.

Lu Xianzhi ran over to catch up.

“Grandma, may we lodge here?”

Grandma looked up, “Ah, young people, so full of energy, I saw you from afar.”

Lu Xianzhi blushed and awkwardly hid behind Xu Qing, occasionally peeking out at Grandma.

Xu Qing smiled at Grandma, “My girlfriend is shy, Grandma, please don’t laugh at her.”

Grandma seemed very pleased, smiling kindly.

“Of course you can, but you see, I haven’t finished weaving this bamboo basket. Could you help me with it?”

Xu Qing whispered, “Sure.”

Lu Xianzhi nodded along.

Xu Qing took Lu Xianzhi’s small hand and sat on a chair next to Grandma.

Grandma was teaching step by step, and Xu Qing quickly learned.

Beside her, Lu Xianzhi was still clumsy, her hands at odds with each other.

Xu Qing couldn’t bear to watch any longer and patted Lu Xianzhi’s head, telling her to go play with the child.

Lu Xianzhi pouted, turned around, and went off to play with the dog and the child.

Grandma chuckled, “Your girlfriend is cute, a bit clumsy, but very charming.”

Xu Qing continued weaving the bamboo basket, “Yes, she is very cute. With me, she doesn’t need to be skilled at many things, she just needs to be happy.”

Grandma watched with a smile the puppy and the two little ones.

As the sun was about to set, they finally finished the basket.

Xu Qing helped Grandma store the bamboo basket properly, successfully solving their accommodation problem.

Xu Qing was still washing her hands nearby, looking at Lu Xianzhi and the child, both covered in mud, sighing as she let them have the sink. Lu Xianzhi was holding a dirty, muddy little puppy and laughing as she and the kid washed the dog together.

Xu Qing looked at Lu Xianzhi, who was both muddy and wet, laughing heartily, with a bit of mud on her fair face and also her nose. Xu Qing took a cloth, wet it, and gently wiped Lu Xianzhi’s face while controlling the excited Lu Xianzhi.

Because Lu Xianzhi kept dodging, watching her randomly sprinkle water and screaming and laughing because she turned the water on too high.

Xu Qing felt like she was taking care of a child.

Rather than a girlfriend.

Helplessly, she helped Lu Xianzhi get her clothes sorted and called someone to take a bath.

Xu Qing helped Grandma light a fire, while Lu Xianzhi was still in the wooden tub playing water games with the child and singing.

Lu Xianzhi was like this, the more she complained, the more she enjoyed playing.

On the other hand, Teacher Chen and the others were already sharing the tea they’d brought.

And our bossy sister Jiang Mo was cooking, with Qihala beside her showering her with praise.

Jiang Mo looked at him disgustedly, “You’re so oily, now my dish feels like there’s too much oil.”

Qihala’s imaginary dog ears drooped instantly.

Jiang Mo told Qihala to move aside, then served the dish.

Qihala’s attention was immediately drawn back to the food.

Lu Xianzhi happily ate the food. Although there was no meat, Lu Xianzhi still enjoyed it.

The second episode of the show broadcasted.

“Good morning, dear netizens!”

“Good morning!!”

“Why is Lu Xianzhi’s stamina so poor? She hasn’t walked far, and she needs Xu Qing to carry her.”

“It’s normal. Those who saw the mountain climbing part know.”

“Xu Qing is too doting!! What a person who can manage both the household and the kitchen!!”

“Ah, so envious, I would be satisfied if she had me, no matter how silly I am.”

“It’s amazing, does such a person really exist in the world.”

“Teacher Chen is still consistently sharing tea leaves, even when going to the set.”

“Yes, yes.”

“I’m dying of laughter, what a bossy sister and greasy brother.”

“Wuwuwu, it’s over again, my heart is as still as the river outside.”

“See you next week, dear families!!”

Many netizens commented under the official blog of the program group: “When can there be more time, eighty minutes is not enough to watch!!”

“S(〃??ω ??〃) I’m about to protest, can’t you broadcast two days at once! How many episodes are in a day!!”

“?(?????????)?” Keep going!! I love the program team.”

“(￣y▽￣)~* Covering my mouth with a smile, how did I have the fortune to watch my boss record the show, as a programmer, I’m really grateful, the boss even gives paid leave.”

“Alright, alright, everyone above, we’re already very envious, knowing you have such a good boss.”

“Next life, I’ll study harder and work at Huaqiu.”
