The closer they got to Jade Creek Village, the more difficult the road became.
Although it is an asphalt road, it has been in disrepair for many years. With large trucks carrying goods coming and going, the road surface is sunken and the asphalt is cracked.
The car swayed and bumped all the way to the entrance of Jade Creek Village. Even though I don't usually get carsick, I almost got carsick from the jolting.
Chen Liqing was originally standing, but he lost his balance and almost made a fool of himself. He met the gloating looks from the other passengers and sat down with a dark face.
As soon as the bus came to a complete stop, Chen Liqing stood up abruptly, picked up the megaphone, and announced, "Everyone, we have arrived at Jade Creek Village. Please disembark in an orderly manner."
After getting off the bus, Chen Liqing led them to the front of the only small Western-style house at the foot of the mountain.
He took out his key, opened the door, and went inside, followed quickly by the others.
Chen Liqing coughed lightly, about to speak, when Jian Yue suddenly said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, let us have some water first." The water in the car had been finished an hour ago.
Chen Liqing: "..." He turned to a staff member and said, "Get them some water."
Seeing his dark expression, the staff inwardly grimaced, then quickly grabbed a jug of bottled water from the car and distributed it to everyone.
The people who got the water quickly opened it and gave the children a sip first.
Chaochao hugged the bottle, took a big gulp, and looked completely satisfied.
Gu Wancheng opened the water bottle and drank most of it in one gulp. She let out a long sigh of relief and leaned against Bo Yizhou, "I'm finally alive."
After drinking water, her face, which had turned pale from the violent shaking of the bus, regained some color.
" Director Chen, you almost made it to the trending topics. I suggest you fund the road repairs next time before we come."
"Don't say that. Director Chen is just stingy. What did he do wrong?"
"I'll donate money to fix this dilapidated road."
The group of people who had come back to life pointed at Chen Liqing in a sarcastic tone, while also wanting to donate money to fix the broken road.
Chen Liqing's face darkened, but he laughed when he heard they planned to donate money. Seeing that they had calmed down and even had the mood to point at him, he picked up the megaphone and said, "The owner of this little villa is abroad. After friendly communication with the program team, he decided to rent it to us for half a month, so you need to be careful with the equipment inside and try not to damage it."
" Director Chen doesn't want to lose money, huh? Well, Director Chen, you're such a tightwad." Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
[Haha, that's the truth! The real reason is, don't damage the landlord's things, but whatever you do, don't spend my money!]
[ Chengcheng, you... you're absolutely right!]
Chen Liqing's lips twitched, and his sharp eyes swept over the group, trying to find the person, but to no avail.
After Gu Wancheng finished speaking in a high-pitched voice, she secretly hid behind Bo Yizhou. Bo Yizhou moved aside without making a sound, making her even more concealed.
[ Chengcheng, aren't you just burying your head in the sand?]
[It's alright, Director Chen is blind.]
[You guys didn't let him off the hook either, hahaha.]
"Next is the room selection process. Of course, the rooms are the same, so we'll skip this part. Children, please come forward."
After Chen Liqing finished speaking, the children immediately stepped forward, looked up at him curiously, and asked what he was planning to do.
Xiaoxiao brought over a tray with several signs on it, the front side of which was blank, and keys were hanging from the signs.
Gu Wancheng nudged Bo Yizhou and whispered in his ear, "Doesn't this resemble the way the emperor used to choose his concubines?"
Bo Yizhou glanced at it and nodded.
The assistant Xiaoxiao and said, "Just take one of these."
The children looked at each other, pushing and shoving, none of them wanting to be the first to make a move.
Finally Chaochao stepped forward, her face showing a look of resignation, and picked up a wooden plaque.
Room 1, second floor.
"Dad! It's room number one on the second floor!" Chaochao excitedly ran to Gu Wancheng and the others and showed them the wooden sign.
Gu Wancheng took the wooden plaque, patted his head, and praised, " Chaochao is great."
Chaochao happily squinted her eyes.
The remaining wooden plaques were also picked up one after another.
Jian Yue and Chu Yi'an were on the second floor, while Zhao Chengyu and Xu Xiashi were on the third floor.
After the rooms were chosen, Cheng Yan and Xu Yuan were given a private room on the third floor, to which Xu Yuan breathed a huge sigh of Xu Yuan.
"Alright, now that you all have your room keys, take your luggage and put it away," Chen Liqing said with a wave of his hand.
Bo Yizhou picked up two suitcases, walked to the front of the stairs, lifted them with both hands, and went upstairs, while Gu Wancheng carried Chaochao's small suitcase.
Xu Xiashi's family had a lot of luggage, mostly her bottles and jars, which were quite heavy. It was also on the third floor. Although Wen Qifeng didn't look very strong, carrying two suitcases that looked like they were filled with bricks was no problem at all. He easily walked up to the third floor without even panting.
"Hurry up and grab your luggage." Jian Yue looked at Cheng Yan with disdain as he put his hands in his pockets, kicked him, and said.
Cheng Yan snorted, took his luggage upstairs, and then carried Zuozuo's luggage to the second floor before continuing up to the third floor.
Xu Yuan, who seemed Xu Yuan to escape the camera's view, quickly grabbed her luggage and ran to her room as soon as she was told to, without causing a ripple.
So when Chu Yi'an turned around and called him, the person was already gone, and Chu Yi'an was immediately stunned.
"Brother Xu Yuan went upstairs a long time ago," Tongtong said.
Chu Yi'an's lips twitched, he nodded, took Tongtong's luggage, and went upstairs.
" Chaochao, hurry up and tidy up your things." Gu Wancheng opened his suitcase, looked at the clothes stuffed inside in a mess, and pulled him over to tidy up himself.
Reluctantly, Chaochao put down her phone, took her belongings out of her suitcase, and tidied them up.
Bo Yizhou wiped the wardrobe, hung up the clothes one by one, and then neatly arranged the toiletries in the bathroom, while Gu Wancheng began to make the bed.
After laying it out, I leaned back, and the soft mattress made my whole body feel relaxed and I didn't want to move at all.
Chaochao followed suit and lay on the bed, feeling uncomfortable all the way while sitting.
When Bo Yizhou came out, he saw the two people, one big and one small, lying motionless on the bed. He went over and patted Gu Wancheng's bottom.
Gu Wancheng didn't even want to open her eyes, turned over, and dodged his hand.
"You can't sleep yet."
"No, just a little nap," Gu Wancheng said coquettishly with her eyes closed.
[Wow, Chengcheng is so sweet, she even knows how to act cute with her husband.]
Sleep, sleep as long as you want!
Bo Yizhou frowned and pulled the blanket over their stomachs.
Fortunately, the kids were there, so Chen Liqing was still human. He gave them some time to rest, and also gave himself some time to rest, since they weren't the only ones on that vehicle.
After a while, even breathing could be heard. Bo Yizhou touched his face, feeling a pang of heartache and regretting coming here.
