The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show

After the five chaebols finished catching the fish in the pond, they began to prepare to build the road.

Yan Jie drew up a road construction schedule, planning to complete the one-kilometer dirt road within five days, with each person's work and rest schedule clearly marked.

Shen Yingyu contacted the construction vehicle leasing company and preliminarily negotiated the rental prices for excavators, dump trucks, graders and bulldozers.

The business trio had previously taken the engineering vehicle driver's license test, and gathered together to watch videos and review their excavator operating skills.

Chai Fei was responsible for all the work of picking eggs and cleaning the beehives. Xie Wanyi had previously passed the B2 driving test and needed to drive a dump truck to transport gravel back and forth.

While everyone was busy with their own things, the village chief came over in a hurry on his tricycle.

As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted, "Don't worry about repairing the road. Just listen to me."

Seeing that his throat was dry and irritated, Jiang Hexi quickly poured him a cup of tea and said, "Village Chief, drink some water. We can talk slowly if we have anything to say."

Then, without waiting for the village chief to finish drinking the water, she asked impatiently:

"Village head, has Professor Luo changed his mind and is not allowing us to build the road?"

The village chief shook his head and handed the empty cup over. Jiang Hexi filled it up for him and asked hurriedly:

"Did Professor Luo change his mind and not give us the 20,000 yuan for road repairs?"

The village chief shook his head again.

Jiang Hexi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since this matter would not fail, there was no need to rush.

The village chief put down the cup and wiped the water stains from his beard:

"Professor Luo asks you to go to Sanxi Lake at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, they caught him one by one and asked him:

"Why seven o'clock? It's still dark in the morning. Can it be changed to nine o'clock?"

"Are there any local specialties by Sanxi Lake that we can bring back?"

"Village Chief, we are just a construction team. What do you want us to do there, Professor Luo?"

The village chief couldn't answer so many questions, so he said perfunctorily:

"You just go when they ask you to go. Why are you asking so many whys? If you want to know the reason so badly, go there on time tomorrow and you'll know everything."

No one in the group knew the purpose of this trip, but since the "financial sponsor" had spoken, they had no choice but to go.

It rained at night and stopped in the early morning.

On the way from Canglang Village to the Sanxi Lake, the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and bursts of damp air blew towards us. Occasionally, raindrops fell and slid into our necks, waking us up with a startle.

This is how Jiang Hexi was awakened by the cold raindrops.

She sat on the bumpy tricycle, raised her misty eyes, and saw a misty water wonderland.

"Chu Yang, Wan Wan, look at what this is?"

Chu Yang and Yu Xiangwan were pushed awake. When they looked up and saw the scene in front of them, they were both so shocked that they lost their expression.

Several people who were still sleeping in the carriage woke up one after another, and all looked towards the scenery along the Sanxi Lake.

Mist is rising, and islands of various sizes are scattered on the clear lake. Lush forests block out the sun, and the gentle breeze blowing in your face is filled with a sense of moisture.

The electric car shook suddenly, and the body of the car bumped violently on the bumpy dirt road.

The group was suddenly pulled back to reality from the lakeside scenery.

The village chief drove the tricycle with difficulty and said to them:

"This stretch of muddy road is the one you want to repair. It stretches from the end of the road to the lake, a kilometer long. Please fill in these potholes and don't shake my waist next time you come over."

Professor Luo and his wife were standing at the end of the path waiting for them.

The village chief parked the car on the side of the road, led a group of people over to greet Professor Luo, and introduced them to Professor Luo one by one.

They greeted each other.

Professor Luo led them along the lakeside and explained the purpose of inviting them here:

"When the village chief called me, I couldn't believe it. After all these years, someone would come to repair the road for me."

"Later I heard that you guys were here to experience life as part of a farming variety show, and there were cameras following you. I wanted to invite you to take a look around the Egret Ecological Park, so that everyone can see what it has become."

The village chief walked behind and continued with a smile:

"Everyone in the village says that Professor Luo is crazy to raise egrets here. In April and May, the egrets fly here in groups. We raise them until they are white and fat, and then they all fly away in October. The professor has been raising them for more than ten years. What's the point?"

"Not leaving."

Professor Luo replied with a smile, "They didn't leave. Not only did they come back the next year, but their children came back with them as well."

Jiang Hexi looked at Professor Luo and his wife in front of him. They did not have any of the elegance of retired intellectuals.

On the contrary, their sun-bathed faces were full of wrinkles, their skin was dark, and their fingers were cracked, just like the farmers who worked in the fields all year round.

She felt a sense of admiration.

Professor Luo, leaning on a wooden stick, led everyone to the wooden ladder built by the water.

He asked his wife to give everyone a life jacket, and pointed to the two boats floating on the water and said:

"If you want to see egrets, you can row a boat with me to the edge of the island."

All seven people put on life jackets and got on the boat in two groups.

Director Chen had been to many scenic spots before, but had never heard of a Sanxi Lake near the suburbs.

He keenly realized that the "wild" environment here was extraordinary, and immediately decided to lead the team himself, get on a boat with the assistant director, and use the camera to present the original ecological beauty of this place.

Jiang Hexi, Yu Xiangwan, Yan Jie and Xie Wanyi were assigned to a small boat.

The four of them paddled together, and the boat created ripples on the lake.

Yu Xiangwan suddenly asked, "Are there any water snakes here?"

Professor Luo: "Yes, if you are timid, try not to look into the water. Generally speaking, water snakes will avoid boats and will not actively attack people."

Yu Xiangwan sat upright, looking straight ahead.

Jiang Hexi, however, squinted his eyes and looked into the water from time to time. The lake water was clear and transparent, and the water plants stretched out their veins following the waves. A long strip of object swam quickly under the water under the cover of the water plants!

Her eyes widened in shock, and she sat up straight in an instant, "Wanwan, there are water snakes under the boat, and there are more than one."

Yu Xiangwan's hands were frozen as she rowed.

Xie Wanyi turned around and gave Jiang Hexi a warning look, then took the oar from Yu Xiangwan and said:

"You take your time, I'll row."

Jiang Hexi looked at Yan Jie beside him eagerly, "Do you think the water snake will crawl up along the oars?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Xiangwan moved his seat and sat next to Xie Wanyi.

Yan Jie looked at her, who was obviously scared to death but still wanted to seek excitement, and complained helplessly:

"so?"

Jiang Hexi took one step, handed the oar to him, moved his butt, and sat next to him.

Yan Jie took the oar and thought that this was not impossible.
