Chapter 205 Spring Outing 2
Chapter 205 Spring Outing 2
"Hurry up, hurry up, or we'll be late."
Che Liang urged his wife and children at home to hurry up.
"They're here, they're here. Anyway, we have our own car, so we can just pick them up and leave."
My wife came out with the baby and complained a couple of times.
Che Liang shook his head. "That won't do. We've already discussed it. How can we let them leave first? We're all going together."
My wife pointed at our child, who was still half asleep.
"Okay, okay, it's all this lazybones' fault. He said he had to go yesterday, but he stayed in bed again today."
"Okay, let's set off if there's nothing else."
Che Li went out, opened the door, and let his wife and children get in the car.
After getting into the car, he drove to the meeting point.
There were already quite a few people there by this time.
"Sister Ding, you've all arrived." Sister Ding was the organizer of this event.
Ding Liu turned to look at Che Liang. "Liangzi's here. If you're here, wait here for a bit. There are still two or three people who haven't arrived yet, but they'll be here soon. Once they arrive, we'll all leave."
"Okay, Sister Ding."
After Che Liang finished speaking, he looked around at the people nearby and found that, perhaps because they were so excited about the place they were going to, most of his colleagues had brought their families with them.
Some brought their wives, children, or boyfriends/girlfriends, while others called their friends from elsewhere. The most outrageous ones even brought their cats and dogs.
Others who saw it were also laughing.
"Sun Hou, why did you bring your cat out with you?"
"Huang Zhen, why are you still taking your dog out?"
The two people whose names were called exchanged glances with Ms. Xu, and felt less awkward having each other.
Huang Zhen said, "There's nowhere to look after them. I figured we're just having fun today, so I might as well bring them along. I can drive myself, so it won't bother anyone."
Sun Hou patted the cat carrier. "That's right, it's even more convenient here. I brought a cat carrier with me, so I can just put it in there and not worry about it running around."
Ding Liu glanced at the two of them and instructed them, "Make sure you keep a close eye on the animals when you go to the countryside. If they run away and disappear, it will be very difficult to find them. Also, remember to always keep them on a leash."
He glanced at the families with children again and repeated, "Everyone, please remember to keep a close eye on your children and don't let them run around."
"Okay, we've all got it."
"We all know about Sister Ding."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they would keep it in mind.
Seeing that everyone knew the situation, Ding Liu stopped worrying about it and drove off after everyone had arrived.
Che Liang quickly got his family into the car and headed towards their destination.
In Xiajia Village, Xia Shiyu cleaned her house again after getting up in the morning.
Yesterday, I mainly prepared the food and cleaned the house. However, the house is too big and it was a bit tiring to clean, so I mainly cleaned the yard and the first floor.
It just needs to look neat and tidy.
After cleaning, she went to check on the flowers she had cultivated. These delicate flowers had begun to bloom, adding a touch of beauty to the home and carrying a faint fragrance that made her feel refreshed.
After looking at the flowers, she went out; she was going to be a guide today.
She took two rice cakes and left home with her. Before leaving, she told her family to cook first, and if there were more people than expected, she could cook more.
"Okay, go ahead, everything's fine here."
Xia Shiyu took her two dogs out. When she arrived, not everyone had come yet, so she just waited by the village entrance while playing on her phone.
The owner of the village store saw her and chatted with her for a bit.
"Xiao Yu, what brings you here today? Are you waiting for someone?"
Xia Shiyu looked up and smiled, saying, "I'm here to be a tour guide. Some people will be visiting our area later."
"Oh, you're one of the people we're waiting for too. I thought the village chief was in charge of receiving us."
Big news in the village usually spreads everywhere within a day.
So basically everyone in the village knows that someone is coming to visit them for a spring outing. Wow, how rare! Even their remote little village has tourists.
Although they knew it was Xia Shiyu's doing, most of the villagers were still quite happy; it was good to make the village lively.
The proprietress was also happy. She was indeed capable of doing some business. People passing by would buy water, cigarettes, or something. She wasn't thinking about making more money; she was happy to sell whatever she could.
She even cleaned the shop today.
Xia Shiyu replied: "The village chief is busy, and he was originally going to our place to check on some things. He's also going to our house for lunch, so I'll just pick him up while I'm at it."
The proprietress was truly envious now, since the Xia family's food was now recognized as the best in the village. Apart from the chef's skills, the ingredients were simply delicious.
"That's great! They can eat at your place. They've definitely made a profit. This trip is definitely worthwhile for them."
Xia Shiyu smiled and was about to continue speaking when she heard the roar of a car engine.
She turned her head and saw that the guests who had come for the spring outing had arrived.
Ding Liu and her entourage drove to the village entrance and stopped. She remembered the village chief saying that someone would come to guide them.
She parked her car, looked around, and was about to get out when she saw Xia Shiyu walking over.
"You're here for a spring outing, right? You're coming to my house for lunch. Let me show you around now."
As Xia Shiyu was talking, he offered to take them on a tour. Ding Liu asked some questions and found that the information matched up. She was even more surprised to discover that this was actually the owner of the restaurant that supplied them with food.
I didn't expect him to be so young; he's truly accomplished at such a young age.
Ding Liu talked to the others and then followed Xia Shiyu away.
Xia Shiyu didn't intend for them to drive all the way to the top of the mountain; there wouldn't be enough parking spaces for so many cars, and besides, that would probably lose some of the charm of a spring outing.
So when we got to the foot of the mountain, everyone got off the bus and slowly walked up the mountain together.
Although everyone came mainly for the food, they were also willing to take the opportunity to appreciate nature.
"Putting everything else aside, at least these rapeseed flowers look quite nice, those little purple flowers are also pretty, and the vegetables are growing lush and green, crisp and beautiful."
"Yeah, it's a nice place to take a landscape photo (′?`*)"
"Mom, those rapeseed flowers are perfect for playing hide-and-seek! They're so tall!"
"Don't wander off. There are lots of bees in there now. Be careful not to get stung if you go in."
"Wang Wang Wang"
"Edamame, don't get excited. You'll want to run around freely when you're in an open space."
Looking at everyone's reactions, Xia Shiyu realized that perhaps because their expectations weren't high to begin with, things were actually going well.
She settled down to be a guide and would respond when asked questions.
