The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show

Jiang Hexi got out of bed before dawn, changed out of her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she splashed the water on her face, she suddenly came to her senses. She no longer had to farm. She looked at herself in the mirror.

Her eyebrows and eyes are sparkling, her skin is cold and white, and her lips are full and curved. She looks the same as she did a year ago, and yet it seems that nothing has changed, and yet it seems that everything has changed.

Jiang Hexi went downstairs early. It was a rare morning when she didn't have to go to work, so she took a long bench and sat at the door, swinging her legs idly and staring at the fields in the distance.

The cold winter is foggy, and the distant mountains and wilderness are stained with moisture, as abstract as an ink painting.

The assistant director carried the camera into the yard, saw her sitting there, set up the tripod, and pointed the camera at her:

"Let's record a final VCR, just like when we first started filming. You can say whatever you want to say. Can we start?"

"can."

Jiang Hexi looked straight at the recording camera and said jokingly:

"After the farming variety show ended, I became a homeless person again."

"For a year, I had no job, no social life, and stayed at home all day to rely on my parents until I was sent here to farm."

"Watching new seedlings emerge from the ground one after another, sprouting and growing taller inch by inch, is like seeing hope taking root and growing. Even if it is destroyed later, the seeds that have been sown will break through the soil again and again."

"It's really healing. After I go back this time, I will still enter the investment field, but I will no longer be involved in empty projects. I will focus more on industries that serve the people's livelihood, look for entrepreneurs who do real work, and work together to make progress."

Her VCR ended here.

Concise and powerful, she is no longer the young lady who could only act arrogantly and funny in front of the camera.

The assistant director then found Yan Jie and asked him to make a summary VCR as usual.

Yan Jie stood in the yard, basking in the thin sunlight in the cold winter. He said slowly:

"I used to be a racer, pursuing sensory stimulation and extreme speed."

"After coming here and driving a tractor, a grader and an electric tricycle, I discovered that there is a reason for going slow. It has opened up my mind and the world has become different."

"I couldn't accept myself slowing down before, but now I will do more meaningful things at a slower pace."

The five chaebol members all gave an immersive VCR monologue, and the recording of the entire farming variety show came to an end.

People left the stone courtyard one after another.

Yan Jie accompanied Jiang Hexi as they waited for the family to send a car to pick them up. He hinted:

"After returning to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, when will you be free?"

"I'm not free any day."

"Why are you not free?"

Jiang Hexi counted the days and argued with him:

"After I go back, I have to prepare a speech, attend the agricultural and food conference and give a speech, which takes three days in total. Then I have to go home to buy New Year's goods, and then rehearse for the evening party. Not to mention the Spring Festival, I have to run around to pay New Year's greetings, and I will only have time after the New Year."

Yan Jie raised his eyes slightly: "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"

Seeing that he was getting angry, Jiang Hexi asked him directly, "So what do you want?"

"After the speeches at the conference, go directly to Yicheng to prepare for the rehearsal. You and I will buy New Year's goods together. We will make two copies and bring them back to each other's families."

Yan Jie thought carefully and said, "After the New Year, please give me at least two days off. I will go to your house to pay New Year's greetings. On the sixth day of the New Year, you can go to Yicheng with me to visit my relatives."

Jiang Hexi was shocked by his careful arrangements.

She still believed that they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but he accelerated the process and jumped directly to the stage of discussing marriage.

She needs to reiterate their relationship:

"Um...we are just boyfriend and girlfriend--"

"Who is that?"

"Yan Wang."

"Call again."

"husband--"

Yan Jie's eyebrows slightly raised, "Listen to what you called me, why is it inappropriate for me to come to your house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Jiang Hexi said angrily, "If you insist on saying that, then I won't call you that anymore."

Yan Jie can't afford such a price.

He has always been flexible, especially when it comes to pursuing her, he has no bottom line at all.

"Last time we talked about engagement, Auntie had no objection and tacitly acknowledged that I was your fiancé."

He took two steps forward and whispered to her, "During the New Year, it is only right for you and I to visit each other's relatives and friends."

Jiang Hexi didn't fall for his trick.

The progress bar was flying so fast that she would just pull it to the end. She wouldn't let him get away with it so easily.

"Have you asked me what I mean?"

"did you mean?"

"disagree--"

Jiang Hexi shouted at him, "Don't think that you can suppress me just because you have my mother as your trump card. I am the only one who can do whatever I want in the Jiang family. I have the final say in everything here too."

A luxurious Bentley was parked outside the stone courtyard.

Jiang Wenjing slammed the car door and walked in. He saw Yan Jie's expressionless face from a distance, called Jiang Hexi over and asked:

"What's wrong with that boy?"

"He's just sad. He's like this after the farming variety show ended. He looks depressed and it's useless for anyone to try to comfort him."

Jiang Hexi threw ten pieces of bacon and ten pieces of sausage into Jiang Wenjing's hands and urged him:

"Don't mind other people's business. Put the meat in the trunk. I have a lot of stuff to take home."

Jiang Wenjing held the twenty pieces of meat and refused to leave, looking at her in shock:

"Isn't he your boyfriend? Why don't you care about him?"

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. Of course, he has to untie the knot that he has locked himself in. Could it be that he wants to drag me into it and make me depressed like him?"

The corners of Jiang Wenjing's mouth twitched, and he was shocked by her cold remarks.

"What you said... makes sense. There's no need to sacrifice yourself just for the sake of beauty."

Jiang Hexi filled the trunk but it wasn't enough, so she stuffed the passenger seat as well, just enough to fit her New Year's goods.

Jiang Wenjing smelled the mixed aroma of salted fish, duck eggs, honey, cured meat and sour cabbage. He looked at her with extremely complicated feelings, endured it, and finally shut up without saying anything.

Jiang Hexi opened the car door and was about to get in. When she saw Director Chen walking out of the stone house, she slammed the door shut and walked over to say goodbye to him.

"Director, I'm going home."

"Okay, have a safe journey."

Even though she had guessed the results of some things, she still wanted to ask in person:

"Will you continue to film farming variety shows?"

He smiled, which was very rare for him, and said, "What do you think?"

Jiang Hexi waved goodbye to him and said, "Director, I wish that every documentary you shoot next will be a great success and win many international awards."

Director Chen also waved at her and said, "Then you should work harder and achieve a small goal first."

They all have to take steps forward, towards their original passion, and towards their own future.
