Chapter 253: Afraid You Won’t Return It

Translator: Zayn_

Even though everyone wanted to be a salted fish, when it was time to work, no one would stay still.

However, in order to lock Haha up in the courtyard, they arrived a little late. The old lady had already gotten off the ground.

Needless to say, the old lady was worried that they wouldn’t be able to finish planting the two acres of land, so he came over early.

When he saw Song Qingyou and the others, the old lady kept explaining that he couldn’t relax and didn’t mean to despise them.

Tang Zinian and the others were embarrassed by his words.

Therefore, after persuading the old lady to go home, they worked even harder.

After experiencing the seedlings being planted all over the place, almost being unable to straighten up due to bending over for too long, and almost falling over when encountering insects… After a series of accidents, the five of them could be considered to have completed the transplanting work of one mu of land before dark.

Song Qingyou was too nimble and was ‘chased away’ to pick tea leaves.

In the words of the four, Song Qingyou was too efficient at her work. Who knew when they would look up and find out she had finished all their work!

This made them seem useless.

However, the tea garden on the mountain was different. The tea garden was so big that it was “resistant”!

What else could Song Qingyou do? She could only accept the truth and do something easier.

The day’s mission was successfully completed, and the ingredients were also secured. Finally, they did not have to go to the production team to borrow credits for dinner.

However, the old lady was too enthusiastic and gave them a lot of food and vegetables. It looked like they could last for many days.

But because Song Qingyou wasn’t here, they couldn’t refuse to thank her.

After the group of people accepted the ‘gift’, they had originally planned to come and help the old lady more in the next few days. In the end, they had just accepted these things when they were intercepted by the program team.

The staff member accurately conveyed Director Wei’s meaning.

“You have to return some of the ingredients. As for the other portion, he’ll treat it as paying off the debt for lunch.”

“Didn’t he say we would use tea leaves to pay him back? Why did he send someone to rob us along the way?”

“Director Wei said that he was afraid that you guys wouldn’t pay your debts, so we have to take the initiative.”

The four of them were speechless.

Utterly speechless!

However, it was useless even if they wanted to resist.

Could they just beat Director Wei up?

Zhao Yingnan was the one who cooked dinner, and Yu Muhuai was the assistant.

Although Zhao Yingnan’s cooking wasn’t as good as Song Qingyou’s, it wasn’t bad either.

Moreover, the group had been tired for the whole day, so everything they ate felt delicious.

Jiang Xuyan was responsible for cleaning up after the meal.

After he finished washing the dishes, the seven of them moved the chairs out of the wooden shed and sat in a row under the summer starry sky.

The cool night breeze blew, and the light and shadow in the courtyard intertwined. Everyone looked lazy and casual, as if time had slowed down a lot. Even Jiang Zhihan squinted his eyes comfortably.

Haha, who had been tormenting the production team for the entire afternoon, was currently sleeping in the courtyard.

It was only at this moment that the seven of them acted like what Wei Zhengrong had said at the beginning. They were here for a vacation.

All of them had a good night’s sleep.

The next morning, before dawn, the group of people was woken up by the production team.

Song Qingyou was fine. It was almost time for her to wake up, so she didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Because of this, when the program team raised the camera to the door and wanted to take a picture of them just getting up, Song Qingyou had already finished washing up as quickly as possible.

The staff member saw Song Qingyou’s face and asked in a daze, “Sister Qingyou, did you put on makeup?”

“No, I haven’t.” Song Qingyou yawned. “It’s not dawn yet, you guys are too early!”

“Ahem, Director Wei said that he didn’t want to shoot the scene of you guys waking up. He called you guys so early because he was afraid that you would delay the village’s activities.”

These words were half true and half false, and the reason was even more dignified. Song Qingyou didn’t believe it anyway.

“What event?” she asked.

“Worship the ancestors.”

The same explanation sounded at the door of each room.

“White Tea Village has a tradition of worshipping their ancestors in mid-July every year, so it will be especially lively today. If you wake up late in the morning, you might miss the free breakfast.”

When they heard the words ‘free breakfast’, they all got up and washed up faster.

Tang Zinian was the second to come out. He even stretched out his hand towards the foot of the mountain and said in an advertising tone, “Have you ever seen the idyllic scenery at five in the morning? If you haven’t, you can let Director Wei show you!”

Jiang Xuyan, who came out from behind, said, “1 seriously suspect that Director Wei didn’t sleep last night! Otherwise, why would he wake us up so early?” “Maybe he caught up on sleep during the day.” Yu Muhuai analyzed calmly. “Because we were farming during the day.”

“Ah, so frustrating!”

The few of them complained a little before going down the mountain to the village chief’s house.

When they arrived, they realized that almost all the villagers had gathered together, and they were all wearing their ethnic costumes.

Several stoves had been set up nearby at some point in time, and the pots on them were almost all cooking meat. As long as they approached, the fragrance of meat and steam would hit their faces.

As soon as Song Qingyou and the others arrived, the village chief arranged for someone to bring them into the house and let them change their clothes.

The ethnic costumes of White Tea Village were also related to tea leaves. Whether it was the clothes worn on the body or the head, there were elements of tea leaves.

Furthermore, the clothes were all handmade, and the embroidery on them was very beautiful.

When the seven of them came out again, they were already able to blend into the local environment very well.

The cameraman had also changed his clothes. It could be seen that the production team had put in a lot of effort.

Everyone had breakfast at the village chief’s house. The food was all local cuisine, which made the group of people less resentful of Director Wei for telling them to wake up early.

After breakfast, the seven of them were like the villagers. Each of them was given three incense sticks, and they were told to replace the incense sticks in time if they ran out.

As soon as the incense was lit, they followed the team and began to climb the mountain.

This was the mountain Song Qingyou had seen the villagers pointing at yesterday, the one with the ancestral hall on it.

In the summer, amidst the chirping of insects, the sky gradually brightened.

Accompanied by the crowing of cocks and barking of dogs in the village, the few villagers at the front of the team began to sing. Their voices were clear and melodious, as if the entire mountain was awakened by this song, accompanied by the swaying of leaves.

The lyrics were all in the local language, and the six outsiders could not understand them.

“What are they singing?” Tang Zinian was curious.

“It’s all blessings.” Song Qingyou replied,”It’s not easy to translate.”

Jiang Xu Yan praised.’The melody is very nice and the big brother and big sister taking the lead also have very good voices.”

“Is this the legendary saying that experts are among the people?” Zhao Yingnan asked.

“Yes!”

A large group of people went up the mountain along with the singing.

The seven of them soon saw the entire ancestral hall in the village.

The ancestral hall did not look very gorgeous and graceful, but it gave off an ancient and solemn feeling..
