The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 596 "A Gentle Journey" (Part 9)
Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh even after entering the farm.

Gu Lanxi has been used to pretending to be mature and composed since she was very young. She only occasionally reveals her cute side in front of people she is familiar with.

Lu Nanting particularly liked that awkward feeling.

It reminded him of when he was a child, he went to a farm with his two older brothers, and it was the first time he saw chestnuts. His eldest brother told him that if you peel off the prickly shell, the inside is sweet.

After finally managing to peel off the outer shell, he discovered there was another shell inside, which was extremely hard and he couldn't bite it no matter what.

Thinking he had been cheated, he got angry and was about to throw it away when his second brother came over and swore in his hoarse voice that it really was sweet inside, but if he wanted to eat it, he would have to go through the trouble of removing the hard shell.

Lu Nanting was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was the youngest in the family. It can be said that he had never even seen a whole watermelon when he was a child, let alone a whole chestnut. He thought that his two older brothers were teasing him and refused to believe it no matter what.

After finally calming him down, his two older brothers built a fire and patiently roasted chestnuts. They blew off the ash and handed them to him. The sweet, smoky flavor is still unforgettable.

For him, discovering the adorable moments in Gu Lanxi is pretty much the same as this.

After many hardships, you finally obtain it, and then keep it firmly in your heart, savoring it from time to time.

This is his own special corner of happiness.

When the two arrived at the farm, only two of the other five groups had arrived.

The two couples were Shen Weixi and her husband, who were traveling in a van, and Su Ying and her husband, who were traveling in an electric tricycle.

Su Ying's husband is younger than her and is also an actor, but he acts in TV dramas. He has never worked with Gu Lanxi, nor has he ever interacted with Lu Nanting. When he saw the two of them, he simply greeted them and then circled around his wife without coming over to say anything.

To be honest, when a woman is strong enough, she'd rather find a younger, more masculine man than an older, stoic man. Look how sweet they are together!
Shen Weixi's husband is low-key and steady. He is the drummer in her band. Shen Weixi's fans all say that he is marrying above his station. In fact, only those who meet him in person know how much Shen Weixi, who is usually very easygoing, depends on him. The two complement each other's personalities and have a very stable and healthy relationship.

Hopefully, after the show airs, Shen Weixi's fans will change their opinion of him.

They were both musicians, and Lu Nanting knew him. They had a lot in common, so they started talking together.

While they were talking, Shen Weixi leaned over and took Gu Lanxi's arm, whispering, "Was the scenery along the way beautiful?"

During the previous lottery, Shen Weixi was unlucky and drew a bicycle. She was already eight months pregnant, and no one dared to let her ride a bicycle. So Xia Shiqian, who drew a van, switched with her.

On her way here, Gu Lanxi ran into Xia Shiqian, who was taking pictures with her husband, an art-house film director, squatting in a rapeseed field.

Gu Lanxi nodded: "Very beautiful."

That serious demeanor made him seem very credible.

However, in reality, she didn't pay any attention to the scenery along the way; all she could think about was how to get Lu Nanting to hold her tight.

The guesthouse wasn't far from the farm. The couple asked their assistant for a drink of water and had Yu Xin touch up her makeup. Then everyone was almost there.

Lin Jingque walked over slowly, arm in arm with her domineering CEO husband, and surprisingly, she wasn't even the slowest.

Knowing they were going to be filmed, Xia Shiqian and her husband were relieved that they didn't accidentally cause sparks to fly off their bicycles after taking the photos.

When they arrived, Shang Zhicai, covered in sweat, pedaled his tricycle to bring Chu Lingyun over.

Shang Zhi is always self-disciplined. Despite his tall stature, he is the thinnest among all the male guests.

When I won the lottery for a pedicab, I was too embarrassed to switch with someone else. I walked along the road, gritting my teeth. You could say I used every ounce of strength I had to get my wife here.

Although it's not a good reputation for a man to be called weak, it really makes the show entertaining.

"Brother Zhi, you are so disciplined! You only eat so little in the morning. I feel so sorry for you!"

"It's alright, honey. You have to love what you do. It's all for the sake of work."

The couple who arrived last had barely parked their car when they started putting on a dramatic show. One of them stood on tiptoe to wipe her husband's sweat, her eyes full of tenderness; she hadn't even gotten out of the car while they were sitting there.

One person looked completely indifferent, yet was panting heavily from exhaustion; even in this condition, they still managed to keep working.

It has to be said that Gu Lanxi sometimes admires the two of them.

"Congratulations everyone on arriving at your destination safely. Now, we need to divide the tasks for this morning. To ensure fairness, we will draw lots. Come on, everyone, each family, please send a representative to draw lots!"

This time, they drew lots first and then discussed the contents, so there was no need to hesitate. Lu Nanting quickly stepped forward and took an envelope.

Once everyone had received their task envelopes, the host began, "Come on, all six families have received their tasks. Can we show them to everyone what they contain?"

Shangzhi unfolded the folded paper in his hand and read aloud: "'Who knows that every grain on the plate is the result of hard work?' Want to know how the ancients husked rice? Then give it a try!"

Are we responsible for pounding the rice?

Chu Lingyun had played innocent, naive characters in period dramas and had seen rice pounded in a stone mortar. Looking at her own husband, she couldn't help but worry.

You should know that pounding rice is hard work, and even if you only need to prepare enough rice for twelve guests, it's not an easy task.

"Don't worry, we have a watermill on our farm. See that? There's a waterwheel under that little waterfall, and a small house next to it. All you'll need to do is learn how to use the tools."

This was a very interesting job, and the couple readily accepted the task and followed the staff.

Next up was Shen Weixi, who was standing next to them. Her eyes widened. "We're grinding flour? Aren't we having rice for lunch? They've all gone to pound rice, why are we grinding flour too!"

My darling, of course it's for the sake of the show!

The staff led over a donkey and gestured for the two men to follow: "Your task is to learn how to make this donkey pull the millstone. Once the millstone starts moving, you can get as much flour as you want."

Upon hearing this, the couple immediately followed the donkey with great excitement.

Xia Shiqian and his wife were assigned to kill a chicken, but the chicken was in the orchard. To kill the chicken, they had to catch it first.

The two were on the verge of tears, but could only muster their courage and follow the staff.

I imagine the show will be very successful.

Su Ying was quite pregnant, and luckily, she was chosen to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and fruit along the way. It was an easy job, and the couple went happily.

Lin Jingque and her domineering husband opened the envelope and saw that their mission was to hunt in the jungle.

Spring is here, and who can resist the fresh, juicy wild vegetables? Let's set off quickly and find these seasonal delicacies in nature!

Both of them are the kind of people who never lift a finger, and probably can't even tell the difference between spinach leaves. Just thinking about asking them to pick wild vegetables makes it impossible to film the show.

Upon learning that Lu Nanting and his wife had won the fishing lottery, the couple pestered Gu Lanxi relentlessly, insisting on exchanging their prize.

Gu Lanxi couldn't resist the nagging and eventually agreed.

Fishing requires quiet; if you talk, the fish will run away, but if you don't talk, it's not easy to catch anything. Honestly, it's better to switch to a quieter environment.

When the two of them stood on the edge of the field, carrying baskets and small shovels, they realized that this job was not so easy.

Can pregnant women eat wild vegetables?
If I pick them and eat them and get sick, I'll probably be scolded to death.

Gu: Hey, everyone says you're a bit of a wild vegetable brain, which one should you dig up? Think about it quickly!
Lu: Thank you, I've never dug any, and I don't recognize any of them.

I'll watch them dig for wild vegetables tomorrow.

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all a smooth and successful new year!
