The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

Chapter 89 Camping by Erhai Lake

The next morning, since Xie Zhiyao had arranged for Yang Guanjun to take people to help Aunt Feng, Lin Yang and Xu Hongdou did not go to the orchard and went to town together.

After having breakfast, Lin Yang, Xu Hongdou, and Nana chatted in the small restaurant, while Xie Xiaoxia helped Nana try out the desserts she had just made.

Xie Zhiyao, who came unexpectedly, showed them the Yunmiao Village tourism promotional video that Sunzi had just sent over that morning.

The film is very well made; the scenery is beautiful, and every frame is gorgeous.

"Nana, your acting is really good," Xu Hongdou couldn't help but laugh when Nana was making coffee.

The scene where Lin Yang and Xu Hongdou kiss on horseback made Nana so excited that she blurted out in her Shanghai dialect: "It's crazy, it's crazy! They're really getting married, right now!"

Finally, the beautiful starry sky made Lin Yang and the others' eyes light up.

"Where is this?" Nana asked.

"Not special effects, a real starry sky?" Lin Yang couldn't help but ask.

Xie Xiaoxia nodded repeatedly: "It's true. My older brother took me there two years ago in an SUV. When we got there, there were so many stars, and they were so bright!"

"I really want to go!" Nana was excited, and Xu Hongdou couldn't help but feel a little excited as well.

Xie Zhiyao said he would take them on a real team building trip, a camping trip, to have some fun and reward them for their hard work picking plums.

So, after some preparation, Lin Yang and the others set off with Xie Zhiyao the next afternoon, heading towards their destination.

Lin Yang specially drove his RV there this time, because camping naturally creates a better atmosphere with a mobile RV.

The campsite is located on a secluded beach in Erhai Lake, surrounded by woods, with a simple wooden fence along the shore.

"It's so quiet and comfortable! It feels like the world has just turned upside down and we're the only ones left," Nana exclaimed as she stood in front of the wooden fence, looking at the shimmering water under the setting sun.

"It's got the feel of it," Hu Youyu nodded, and Da Mai, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say, "I think I'm getting some inspiration for a new project."

"Stop it, Barley, stop messing around. Finish writing the ending of the old book first," Nana said.

"Hey, you guys come over here and lend a hand to set up the tent," Xie Zhiyao, who was setting up the tent with Xie Xiaoxia, couldn't help but call out.

"Coming!" Huang Xinxin replied, and Nana and the others also rushed to help.

Seeing that Hu Youyu hadn't moved, Da Mai couldn't help but say, "Teacher Hu, why are you slacking off again?"

"I'll do it, Hongdou. You and Dama and the others can rest, or you can set up the table and arrange the things," Lin Yang said, skillfully helping Xie Zhiyao set up the tent.

The sun was slowly setting, and seeing Hu Youyu sitting there doing nothing, Huang Xinxin couldn't help but say, "Teacher Hu, you're not doing any work, and you're not even helping out."

"An artist's hands are not suited for rough work," Hu Youyu said calmly.

"Alright, forget about him. Artists don't even need to eat; they can live on air and dew," Lin Yang said, making everyone laugh.

They got up.

"Red Bean, I'm going to gather more firewood! It'll get cold after sunset, so we need to prepare more firewood for tonight," Lin Yang said as he got up and went to the nearby woods.

"Be careful! Don't go deep into the woods, watch out for snakes," Xu Hongdou said repeatedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Lin Yang said with a smile. He was quite cautious after entering the woods, as it wasn't surprising to find snakes in the climate.

Lin Yang, who had quickly gathered quite a few branches, was about to head back when he saw Xu Hongdou arrive. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here instead of chatting with them?"

"I was worried about you! We've been here so long, I was afraid you'd run into a snake," Xu Hongdou said as she walked over, noticing the pair of firewood at Lin Yang's feet, and couldn't help but ask, "You picked up so much?"

"Few people come here, so there's plenty of firewood in the woods," Lin Yang said, quickly picking up a large bundle of firewood. Xu Hongdou also picked up the remaining loose pieces and went back with him.

It got dark quickly, the stars came out, and the people who had lit the campfire sat around the table to grill meat and drink.

"This sweet potato is so delicious, it's so sweet. These past few days, everything I eat tastes especially good," Huang Xinxin said.

Da Mai couldn't help but say, "I think so too. I think Aunt Feng's food is really delicious."

"So, people should participate in more labor and put in more sweat," Nana concluded.

"This potato tastes best when sprinkled with salt and pepper," Nana said, sprinkling salt and pepper on the potato in Damai's hand.

Hu Youyu, who was standing nearby, brought Yang Qian closer, only to be met with a glare from Nana.

Nana then helped Xu Hongdou sprinkle salt and pepper, but Xu Hongdou repeatedly said, "That's enough, that's enough!"

"I can't eat this much, so I'll share half with you," Xu Hongdou said, breaking off half of her food and giving it to Lin Yang.

Seeing Xu Hongdou finish the potato in a few bites and then go to drink coffee, Lin Yang couldn't help but say, "Drink less coffee!"

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Drinking a lot won't affect my sleep," Xu Hongdou said, shaking her head.

"But it's not good for your health in the end. From now on, you should try to maintain a regular schedule, eat a balanced diet, eat less junk food, and take good care of your body..." Lin Yang said.

"Oh my..." Everyone laughed with strange expressions upon hearing this, and Huang Xinxin couldn't help but ask gossipily, "Adjusting your health? What are you doing?"

"We need to prepare for the guesthouse owner's visit! We need to be in good condition," Lin Yang said.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Lin Yang, and everyone booed.

"Oh, this is great! It feels so good to be able to get together with everyone. It's a pity that Lao Ma is gone. If Lao Ma were here, everyone would be here, and it would be even better," Hu Youyu said with emotion.

"Da Mai, when are you leaving?" Hu Youyu asked, looking at Da Mai.

"I'm leaving next week! I've already told Xiaochun I'm checking out next week," Da Mai said, glancing helplessly at Hu Youyu.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xinxin said with reluctance, "Da Mai, can't you stay a few more days?"

"I've been away for too long. My parents call me every few days, asking me to come back," Da Mai said.

"Have you explained the situation to your dad about not looking for a job?" Nana asked.

Da Mai nodded: "Yes, and I promised my dad that I'll go out at least four days a week."

"Barley, will you come back to see us?" Hu Youyu couldn't help but ask.

Da Mai nodded: "Of course, I'll definitely be coming back to stay for a while next year. Will you still be there?"

"I don't know if they're here or not, but I'm sure I'm here. I have nowhere to go," Hu Youyu said.

"Lin Yang and I should be there too. Our guesthouse will probably be open by then, and you can stay for free," Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"Hey, are you already trying to steal customers?" Xie Zhiyao said with a smile.

"This is called keeping the good stuff within the family," Lin Yang couldn't help but say.

Da Mai's eyes lit up: "That's great! I definitely want to stay there then."

"If Barley leaves, there will be no one to cook noodles for me in the middle of the night and wake me up for dinner," Nana said with some reluctance.

Upon hearing Nana's words, everyone fell into a slightly sad silence.

"Hey, this is supposed to be a family reunion, why does it feel like a farewell party?" Lin Yang said.

Hu Youyu quickly added, "Friend, don't be sad. We all eat at banquets that last for days; we leave after the first meal and then the next day."

Again.

"Yes! If we are not destined to meet, we will not recognize each other even if we are face to face. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again." Lin Yang said, "Come on, I propose that we raise a glass to those who are destined to meet!"

"

"Cheers to fate!" Everyone raised their glasses with smiles.

After drinking, Da Mai suggested that Hu Youyu sing a song in this situation.

"Okay, what do you want to hear? I'm different from you guys, I don't charge money..." Hu Youyu said with a smile.

Nana asked, "What was the name of that song you sang in your room last night? It was really nice."

"That song is one I just wrote," Hu Youyu said with a smile.
