Cheng Xi quickly found beef in a grandmother's refrigerator, and bought a catty of beef at an astonishingly low price of 5 yuan.

Seeing that there was no one else at grandma's house, Cheng Xi guessed that she might be living alone, and immediately said, "Grandma, we'll make dinner later and bring you some."

"Okay, okay." Grandma patted Cheng Xi's shoulder and smiled very kindly.

Cheng Xi walked out of the yard with the beef, feeling a little sorry all the time.Life in the countryside is not rich, and the market price of a catty of beef is 30-40 yuan, which may be enough for grandma to eat for a month. Would it be too much to just take it away by myself?

Cheng Xi then took out 100 yuan and quietly stuffed it into the pocket of his grandma's clothes hanging outside, and then happily returned to Taoranju with the beef.

Hong Ran and Lan Shu were arguing in the yard while washing vegetables, and Su Xiaoman also moved a small bench to carefully peel the garlic.

Cheng Xi put the beef into the kitchen and joined the ranks of washing vegetables.

After all, it is a program with the theme of a leisurely life. Everyone does things slowly, until the sun goes down, and finally prepares all the ingredients and is ready to start cooking.

"Why hasn't Ye Zijin come back? He must have lost his way." Lan Shu stood at the gate of the yard and looked around, with a worried expression on his face.

Cheng Xi sighed, walked over and said, "I'll go meet him."

"Thank you." Lan Shu looked at Cheng Xi distressedly.

"It's not hard, it should be." Cheng Xi chuckled.He felt that this was probably a program group's routine, set up for Ye Zijin's idiots, and he was forced to accept it for the effect of the program.

Hong Ran also came over and said with a smile, "I feel like Cheng Xi is like our elder."

"Can you show some face? The program team asked you to take care of everyone, and you can't do anything." Lan Shu started to hate Hong Ran again.

Hong Ran pursed his lips, and said confidently, "The show crew didn't say that. Besides, I don't know how to take care of people. I've always been taken care of by people."

"Then I'm leaving, you guys cook first." Cheng Xi waved his hand and walked out of the yard, leaving Hong Ran and Lan Shu to continue arguing.

It was not completely dark yet, but the road was difficult to walk because there were no street lights.Cheng Xi turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked all the way to the west of the village.

After walking for about 20 minutes, I finally saw Ye Zijin by the river.Ye Zijin fluttered left and right in the grass by the river, like a ghost.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and it was a sparsely populated countryside. If he and Ye Zijin's follow-up photographer were not there, Cheng Xi would probably turn around and run away.

"What is he doing?" Cheng Xi asked his follow-up photographer.

The photographer shook his head and whispered, "You'll know if you go and have a look."

Cheng Xi was not very willing, but in the end he walked down the main road and walked to the river.

Ye Zijin's follow-up photographer saw Cheng Xi, but didn't tell Ye Zijin, probably because he wanted to take pictures of Ye Zijin's reaction.Cheng Xi did not suddenly appear as he wished, but called out from a distance, "Ye Zijin, what are you doing?"

Ye Zijin immediately stopped and turned around.

Cheng Xi's flashlight shone on Ye Zijin's face, and the cool and handsome face was dyed with warm light, making it look much softer, making that faint smile even more touching.

Cheng Xi was dazed for a moment, and Lu Buzhuan's face flashed before his eyes.Speaking of which, Ye Zijin and Lu Buzhuan really look alike.

Ye Zijin lifted up a glass bottle in his hand, only to see two bright green flashes inside, he rarely spoke briskly, "Look, fireflies."

"It's not yet June, where are the fireflies?" Cheng Xi leaned over curiously, and found that there were really two fireflies in the bottle, but they were very small and the light was weak.

"I didn't expect there to be fireflies either. There were three of them. I caught two, but that one disappeared." Ye Zijin stared at Cheng Xi with tenderness in her eyes.

Cheng Xi didn't look into Ye Zijin's eyes at all, took the bottle, turned his head and walked back, "Take it back and show Xiaoman, she must like it."

Ye Zijin seemed to want to say something more, but Cheng Xi marched all the way in a hurry, kept talking about going back quickly, and didn't give Ye Zijin any chance to chat.

The two returned to Taoranju, and Cheng Xi brought the firefly to Su Xiaoman.Su Xiaoman was so happy that she turned around in circles until she was dizzy, and threw herself on Ye Zijin, "Thank you, I like it so much."

Ye Zijin looked at Su Xiaoman with aggrieved face.It was for Cheng Xi, not for Su Xiaoman.

When Lan Shu saw the fireflies, she wanted them too, but there were only two of them. How dare she snatch them from Su Xiaoman.

Hong Ran understood Lan Shu's expression, leaned over and whispered, "I'll catch you next time."

"Hurry up and watch the fire, the dishes are going to be burnt." Lan Shu glared at Hong Ran.

Everyone worked hard for a long time, and finally had dinner before 7 o'clock. They discussed everyone's cooking skills while eating. In the end, Ye Zijin was still praised as the chef by unanimous praise.

"Looking at Xiaoye's cold face every day, I never expected to cook so well." Hong Ran said with emotion.

"You have to be serious in order to cook a good meal. How can you cook delicious food if you are so restless." Lan Shu looked at Hong Ran with disgust.

"Hey, why do you always take the opportunity to tease me." Hong Ran said aggrievedly, "I actually want to say that Cheng Xi seems to be the best cook."

"Cheng Xi's cooking is also delicious, and I prefer to eat Cheng Xi's cooking." Ye Zijin said lightly.

"Why does Cheng Xi have to cook delicious food?" Lan Shu frowned puzzled.

"Because Cheng Xi's family conditions are not good, he has often worked since he was a child, so he should have more experience and cook better." Hong Ran said naturally.

Cheng Xi smiled helplessly. At this time, he couldn't escape the original background of "Cheng Xi", so he had to explain, "I was in the countryside when I was a child, and I didn't have much to eat. Stir-fry seasonal vegetables, and occasionally I can eat an egg , there is no meat, and there is really no chance to practice cooking."

"But when I grow up, it's fine. I went to high school in the city, and my parents cook with me. After work, I eat work meals, and I seldom cook." Cheng Xi quickly changed the subject, I don't want to accept the distress of everyone.

The job Cheng Xi said was to be Ye Zijin's assistant, but everyone knew that Cheng Xi didn't like this topic, so he quickly chatted about other things.

After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, Su Xiaoman put the firefly in the middle of the low table and lay down on the table to watch.

"It doesn't seem to be lit just now." Su Xiaoman pouted, looking at Ye Zijin with some worry, "Will they die?"

"I don't know." Ye Zijin shook her head.

"It's better to release them." Cheng Xi suggested.

Ye Zijin looked at Cheng Xi, but Cheng Xi didn't look at Ye Zijin, and only said to Su Xiaoman, "They belong to nature and shouldn't be locked in a bottle."

Su Xiaoman stared at the firefly, apparently not wanting to let it go.

"They don't like this place, if you lock them up, they will die." Lan Shu said softly, smoothing Su Xiaoman's hair.

Su Xiaoman pouted, with a tangled expression.

"Learn to let go when it's time to let go." Cheng Xi said, picking up the glass bottle, "Let's go to the yard to release animals together, shall we?"

Su Xiaoman finally nodded.

Five people went to the yard together to release the fireflies.

"Life is precious, but love is even more expensive. If it's for freedom, both can be thrown away." Hong Ran recited in a cadence.

"What the hell." Lan Shu focused on ranting against Hong Ran for 100 years without wavering.

"Look. The two of them were in the bottle just now, don't they look like a pair of lovers? Let them out now, and they will be separated immediately, and they will go to freedom." Hong Ran explained.

"What is this all about?" Lan Shu shook her head in disgust.

The other three also laughed, said a few more words, and went back to the house to go to sleep.

After washing up, Cheng Xi went to the attic, and Ye Zijin followed him.

He stopped with Cheng Xi, turned to look at Ye Zijin, "Is there something wrong?"

"During the day today, I found a board on the roof that can be lifted, and I thought maybe I could watch the stars at night." Ye Zijin said softly.

It's 9012, why are you still using the old-fashioned methods of catching fireflies and watching stars.Cheng Xi pulled the corner of his lower lip, suppressing his impatience, "Then you sleep in the attic today, and I'll sleep in the room."

It's already a break time, everyone has taken off the microphone for radio, and there is no need to worry about speaking.

"Don't you want to look at the stars?" Ye Zijin stared at Cheng Xi, the amber eyes sparkled, and there were too many unfinished meanings in them.

Cheng Xi just shook his head: "No, I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

"You used to like stargazing very much. You said that you were in your hometown, lying in the straw woven basket where mushrooms were dried, watching the stars all night." Ye Zijin said softly.

"You also said it was in the past, not now. I just want to sleep now. If you want to watch the stars, we will change rooms. If you don't, I will go up to sleep." Cheng Xi said indifferently.

Ye Zijin lowered her head slightly, and said lightly, "Then go to bed, good night." After speaking, Ye Zijin turned and left.

Cheng Xi heaved a long sigh, he really needed Chen Minfeng.

Chen Minfeng did not disappoint him and arrived early the next morning.

Chen Minfeng was not only very interested in Taoranju, but also full of curiosity about the whole village. After breakfast, he dragged Cheng Xi to visit.

"I can't go to visit today, I have to work first." Cheng Xi regretfully rejected Chen Minfeng.

"What work?" Chen Minfeng looked blank.

"Planting rice seedlings."

"Wow, planting rice seedlings. Let's go, let's go." Chen Minfeng immediately became excited, put his arms around Cheng Xi's neck, and walked out with Cheng Xi on his shoulders.

In addition to Chen Minfeng, there are three young actors who have worked with Lan Shu in TV dramas today. The labor force is very sufficient, and everyone will go to the paddy field together.

Hong Ran, Lan Shu, and Su Xiaoman all experienced life-style rice transplanting. After planting 10 seedlings, they went to the edge of the paddy field to rest, leaving six young people to work.

Ye Zijin was usually taciturn, she kept silent and didn't respond well to him.Chen Minfeng has always been arrogant and conceited, he only talks to Cheng Xi, and the others ignore him.

In this way, Cheng Xi was forced to become the spokesperson for these two.The three young actors spoke to Ye Zijin or Chen Minfeng, but he answered in the end.

After Cheng Xi's years of professional actor etiquette training, it's almost a conditioned reflex to keep the atmosphere peaceful and not embarrassing.

Chen Minfeng complained to Cheng Xi in a low voice: "Why do you care about the three of them, they're just trying to catch the heat."

"It's enough for you." Cheng Xi suddenly said loudly, choking down the chattering and laughing people beside him.

Chen Minfeng's eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng Xi in surprise.

"I tell you, what's there to be shy about, you can't make friends with others. Go shake hands with new friends, and don't always be arrogant." Cheng Xi pulled Chen Minfeng directly, and trudged through the paddy fields, Walk up to one of the male actors among the three young actors.

"Although it is widely rumored that our Minfeng is arrogant and difficult to get along with, in fact he is a bit introverted. Come on, let's make friends." Cheng Xi said, grabbed Chen Minfeng's hand, and forced Chen Minfeng to shake hands with the actor .

The other party shook hands with Chen Minfeng in surprise, as if he didn't know what happened.

Chen Minfeng probably never made friends honestly in his whole life, so he blushed and said embarrassingly, "Hi, I'm Chen Minfeng."

The other party suppressed a smile and hurriedly introduced himself.

In this way, Cheng Xi made Chen Minfeng get acquainted with the three young actors.During the subsequent work of transplanting rice seedlings, the five people talked and laughed, but Ye Zijin was the only one who didn't fit in.

Of course, Cheng Xi didn't want to isolate Ye Zijin, and would still throw the topic to Ye Zijin.But Ye Zijin couldn't handle it, even if he talked to death, he had no choice.

After a day of hard work, everyone not only filled the paddy field with seedlings, but also sowed several other small fields. They successfully completed the task and returned to Taoranju.

In the evening, everyone cooks together, with Ye Zijin as the chef and others as helpers.

Chen Minfeng helped Cheng Xi pick leeks, and both of them took off the microphones and whispered behind the program crew's back.Chen Minfeng said in a low voice, "This Ye Zijin is too withdrawn, he doesn't talk."

"You're ashamed to say Ye Zijin, if I hadn't pulled you hard, would you have planned not to talk to anyone else for a day?" Cheng Xi felt so sad that his heart was about to break, "This is a recording program, you are good or bad Make a show."

Chen Minfeng pouted, and muttered softly, "Let me accompany you if Lu doesn't turn around, and didn't let me take care of recording the show."

Cheng Xi's heart was inexplicably sweet, and suddenly he didn't want to teach Chen Minfeng how to shoot variety shows.Anyway, since he is here, he can solve any problems Chen Minfeng has.

"Speaking of which, why did Lu Buzhuan ask me to accompany you? I see that you have a good time and get along with everyone so well. There is nothing to worry about." Chen Minfeng asked curiously.

"Just worry about it. I'm overprotective, what can I do?" Cheng Xi said helplessly.

Chen Minfeng made a vomiting expression: "Don't show off, it's disgusting."

Cheng Xi chuckled.

After dinner, everyone sat around together, and Hong Ran mentioned the upcoming "Wolf Smoke", everyone chatted about the plot, and played a part with each other from time to time, which was very harmonious.

Seeing that Ye Zijin was so desolate, Cheng Xi felt a little soft-hearted, and mentioned that Ye Zijin's new drama had already started broadcasting.

Just think that he owes "Cheng Xi". "Cheng Xi" likes Ye Zijin so much, if he sees Ye Zijin in such a miserable state, he will definitely be sad, right?

When talking about the new drama, Ye Zijin finally said a few more words, and he was integrated into the group.

Everyone chatted until after 9 o'clock, and they were all a little sleepy, so they started to wash after dividing the room.

In the last episode, Cheng Xi lived in the attic. In this episode, the program team completely turned the attic into a room, and put two beds in it, making the cramped room even more cramped.

Fortunately, Chen Minfeng didn't complain and lay down on the bed.

"Young Master, you are quite able to endure hardships. I thought you would be tired when planting rice seedlings." Cheng Xi sat on the bed and said with a smile.

Chen Minfeng pouted: "I won't cry tired. How embarrassing, I'm a man after all, and I won't die from doing some farm work."

As Chen Minfeng said, he got into bed and fell asleep in seconds.

Cheng Xi smiled, took out his mobile phone to report the situation to Lu Buzhuan, and then fell asleep.

After dinner the next morning, Chen Minfeng and the three young actors left, and another guest came. Cheng Xi was actually not very familiar with them, but with his good temper, he quickly became acquainted.

There was no heavy physical labor that day, and everyone was chatting in the yard, talking about whether we should raise some animals.Su Xiaoman suddenly ran over excitedly, shouting, "Brother Ye saved a cat."

Ye Zijin then walked into the yard, holding a kitten in her arms.The cat was very dirty, its fur was wet, its eyes could not be opened, and its meowing was weak.

Everyone surrounded the kitten, found the medicine box, wiped the kitten's body and eyes, and brought milk for the kitten to drink.

"Cats can't drink milk, they can only drink goat's milk." Ye Zijin hurriedly stopped everyone.

"Where can I find goat milk? Why don't you feed him some meat?" Cheng Xi suggested.

"He's too young, maybe he can't eat meat. It doesn't matter. I asked my assistant to go to the city to buy goat milk, so I'll give him some water first," Ye Zijin said.

Just when we were talking about raising animals, a kitten fell from the sky, and everyone was quite happy.Later, I asked in detail, and the cat was really picked up, not arranged by the program group.

The kitten was put in a basket and was guarded by Su Xiaoman.

Ye Zijin's assistant didn't come back until the recording of the show was over, and bought goat milk powder for the kitten.At this time, Hong Ran and Lan Shu had already left, and Su Xiaoman was picked up by her mother, leaving only Cheng Xi and Ye Zijin.

Cheng Xi wanted to make sure that the kitten could survive, so he didn't leave in a hurry.

Ye Zijin mixed goat milk powder with warm water, and fed the kitten little by little with a syringe.Cheng Xi felt that Ye Zijin was quite reliable, and was about to leave.

"Cheng Xi." Ye Zijin suddenly called Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi stopped and looked at Ye Zijin, only then did he realize that there were only him and Ye Zijin left in Tao Ranju.

"Are you really letting go of all your feelings for me?" Ye Zijin stared at Cheng Xi with flickering eyes.

Cheng Xi let out a long sigh, feeling a little irritable.How Ye Zijin can believe, they will always be possible.

"Yesterday you mentioned my new drama and helped promote it. You still care about me, don't you?" Ye Zijin's voice trembled.He finally stopped being expressionless, but looked at Cheng Xi cautiously and expectantly.

To be honest, with this face so similar to Lu Buzhuan, with such an expression, Cheng Xi was really quite soft-hearted.

Cheng Xi bit his lip and said, "Then I'll tell you frankly. I'm not the Cheng Xi you know for a long time."
