After finding their rooms and putting away their luggage, the guests gathered in the living room on the first floor.
Jiang Yue suggested, "How about we check out the nearby supermarkets or farmers' markets? We can split into two teams to buy things. One team can go to the farmers' market to buy groceries, and the other team can go to the supermarket to buy drinks and stuff, what do you think?"
Li Lan: "I'm fine with anything."
Yu Lu: "Then I'll go to the supermarket! I'm not very good at grocery shopping."
Cen Yan glanced at her silly senior brother and said, "I'll go with Sister Lan, and you can go with me, senior brother."
Jian Yuanjia's lips were so pouty they could hold an oil lamp. Yes, he was very dissatisfied, but he dared not argue.
Chu Mo: "Go back along the road we came from. At the first fork in the road, turn right and go about 500 meters away. There's a vegetable market there."
Li Lan was very surprised. She asked Chu Mo, " Teacher Chu, have you been to Pingxing Island before?"
Chu Mo answered vaguely, "Yes, I came here by chance."
"That's great! It will save us a lot of time if someone takes us to the market." Yu Lu said happily.
Ji Nanshu sat on the sofa, seemingly a little sleepy. " Brother Yue, you can arrange everything directly."
"Uh... is this appropriate?" Jiang Yue scratched his head.
Actually, his concerns lay with Bai Nanchen and Bai Nanyu. Bai Nanyu was indeed a newcomer with few fans, but Bai Nanchen was not. Not only did he have a huge fan base, but he was also a notorious mad dog in the entertainment industry, with a thought process as eccentric as Bai Nanchen himself.
They might say that he relied on his seniority in the entertainment industry, disregarded his brother's opinions, and bossed him around on the show.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just really annoying.
Li Lan chimed in, "What's wrong with that! We'll listen to you!"
Jian Yuanjia agreed, "Yeah, Brother Yue, it's just buying groceries, what's wrong with that! We all support you!"
Jiang Yue laughed heartily, "Well... if no one has any objections, then I'll take the initiative to make the arrangements today!"
" Sister Lan, Yanyan, Xiao Lu, Yuanjia, and I will be a group to go find the supermarket. Teacher Chu, Nanshu, Xingyu, and Celestial Master Shu will be a group!"
After arranging things for these people, Jiang Yue turned to Bai Nanyu and Bai Nancheng and asked, " Nanchen and Nanyu, would you two like to go to the supermarket or the market?"
Bai Nanchen snorted coldly, "Didn't the winning team get special privileges last episode? Then let them use those privileges. We're not going."
Bai Nanyu gently tugged at Bai Nanchen's sleeve and whispered, "Second Brother, shall we go?"
You want to go?
"Yes! I want to be with everyone!"
Bai Nanchen said gently, "Alright, let's go to the supermarket then." A dirty place like the wet market is more suited to that bastard Ji Nanshu!
Two hours later, both teams returned home laden with their loot.
Jiang Yue's group bought drinks, snacks, bowls, chopsticks, and some board games, Ji Nanshu's group bought meat, vegetables, seafood, rice, and some condiments, filling the entire double-door refrigerator.
Just as the guests were about to divide the tasks and start preparing lunch, Director Yang arrived again, brandishing his newly bought megaphone. With a sly look on his face, he said, "Do you all remember what we said in the last episode about the losing team getting a punishment?"
Jian Yuanjia, with a mournful face, said, "I remember— Director Yang, what are you planning to do to us now?!"
Director Yang wasn't angry at all; instead, his smile grew even gentler. He said, "Everyone knows that Pingxing Island is a popular tourist destination in China. While this has boosted the Pingxing Island's economy, the pollution problem has also become increasingly serious, so--!"
"The team that lost last week has to spend two hours picking up trash on the beach every day!"
Jian Yuanjia's face fell: I always felt that Director Yang wasn't asking them to pick up trash, but rather calling them trash ▽!
"Come on, this is your trash... no, your trash-collecting uniform! Remember to go after you finish eating! There will be staff supervising you, and if you slack off, you'll have to collect trash for two more hours!"
Okay, now he has evidence!!!
"I understand--" It was still Jian Yuanjia, weak and listless.
[Hahahaha, this is hilarious! I feel like Director Yang is basically calling them trash!]
[Hey, be confident! Put your feelings aside!]
[Serves them right! They bullied my Nanchen brother!]
[Hiss--What if some muscular guys show up? It's still a bit hot at the beach! Hehehe...]
[Hey, you're spitting all over my bitter tea!]
Bai Nanchen sneered, "Serves you right!"
In response to Bai Nanchen, Ji Nanshu rolled his eyes dramatically.
The Bai brothers, Bai Nanchen and Bai Nanyu, did not cause any trouble while cooking, and everyone chatted and laughed as they finished the meal.
After eating and resting, Ji Nanshu, Chu Mo, Jian Yuanjia, and Cen Yan put on their special garbage disposal gear, took garbage bags and hook nets, and prepared to set off.
Ji Xingyu stopped Ji Nanshu and said, " Mr. Ji, I'll go ask the director if there's any extra equipment. I'll go with you."
Chu Mo gripped the hook net tighter and tighter. He felt it was time to give the relevant departments something to do; what was the point of focusing all their attention on his wife all day?
He will make a phone call tonight! Wherever the furthest place is the most miserable, let Ji Xingyu go wherever (╬￣ Pan￣)!
Shu Cheng: " A-Yu, I'll go too. If they have any, take an extra set."
Finally, the group of six went to the beach and began their trash-collecting journey under the blazing sun.
As Jian Yuanjia picked up trash, he cursed and swore, sparing no one from the director to the tourists he'd never seen before. "I knew Director Yang had ulterior motives! Bringing us to a haunted house is bad enough, but now he's making us pick up trash!"
"Hey, Ideal Life program team! Why don't you just call it 'Trash Picking Trip'?"
"What's wrong with these tourists? Can't they see all those trash cans over there?!"
"What kind of tourists are these?! These people should be called manure-producing machines!"
"They have absolutely no manners! They've ruined such a beautiful beach! Ugh!"
"I'll hire 800 people a day to pick up trash for me! They won't be allowed to eat until they finish!"
These curses were broadcast live, word for word, to a wide audience via CCTV.
[To be honest, Jian Yuanjia's rambling and cursing was hilarious! It reminded me just like when my mom cleans my room.]
[Laughs aside, Jian Yuanjia's criticism is spot on; ocean pollution is really too severe now. With so many trash cans, it's like taking someone's life every few steps!]
[Who says otherwise! That neighbor is even discharging nuclear wastewater! Why didn't the US drop a few atomic bombs on them back then? It would have been so much better if they'd just wiped them out!]
[Wait, is Jian Yuanjia planning to hire 800 people a day to collect garbage? Seriously, I'm quitting right now!!]
[Followed by my entire family's ID numbers!]
Meanwhile, hashtags like Jian Yuanjia Hires 800 People to Pick Up Trash a Day# slowly climbed to the top of the trending searches, with netizens expressing their intention to pick up trash.
Two hours later, only Jian Yuanjia, with a sore back, followed Ji Nanshu and the others back to the villa.
Waaaaah, I never expected that he would be the one with the worst stamina here!!!
I'd go even if you paid me 800 a day!!!
