Chapter 248 - 248: As Expected of an All-rounder
The cat was obviously running very quickly. Song Qingyou keenly sensed that something was wrong and quickly reached out to catch him.
The next second, Jiang Xuyan also shouted, “Haha?!”
There was not just surprise in his voice, but also fear.
A husky with black and white fur and blue eyes ran over.
They all knew that this was Jiang Xuyan’s dog, Haha.
However, Haha didn’t seem to see its owner. It flashed past Jiang Xuyan and stopped in front of Song Qingyou, wagging its tail excitedly.
Jiang Xuyan was speechless.
“Haha!” Tang Zinian couldn’t help but laugh. “Teacher Jiang, is this your Haha?”
“No.” Jiang Xu Yan took a few steps back. “I don’t know this dog.”
This dog didn’t even know his owner. He really couldn’t keep this dog!
However, as soon as he said that, Haha turned around and barked at him twice.
Zhao Yingnan and Shu Ling both laughed out loud.
Haha saw that its master was ignoring it, so it turned around and bit Jiang Xuyan’s pants, dragging him towards Song Qingyou.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Xuyan looked helpless.
He was used to being tormented by the young pupper at home. Not only was he not angry, he even followed the young pupper a few steps.
When he reached Song Qingyou and Zhizhi, he barked at them and then looked at Jiang Xuyan.
After doing this two or three times, Jiang Xuyan still couldn’t figure out what his dog wanted to do.
“It doesn’t want you to hug it like I hugged Zhizhi, right?” Song Qingyou guessed.
Jiang Xuyan was speechless for a moment. He squatted down and pretended to hug the dog.
He didn’t expect Haha to be so excited. It stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, looking like it was expecting the poop-picker to pick it up.
Jiang Xuyan slapped its face away. “Stop fooling around. Zhizhi is so small. Of course we can carry him. You want me to carry you? You want to change owners, right?”
Haha didn’t understand and jumped up to pounce on Jiang Xuyan.
The latter had obviously been through this countless times, and his movements were fast and practiced.
“Woof woof woof-”
Haha wanted to pounce over again.
Jiang Xuyan gently kicked it a few times and complained to the program team outside, “Director, why did you send Haha over?”
“Pets are indispensable in rural life.” Wei Zheng Rong said seriously, “That’s why we sent your dog and Qingyou’s cat.”
“Also, if the pet damages anything in the homestay, you have to be responsible for compensation.”
Jiang Xuyan heard this and immediately shouted, “This is not my dog! 1 want to give it away!”
Just by looking at his reaction, he knew that Haha wasn’t an honest dog.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, a certain dog rushed to the door frame because it could not get a hug from its owner. It bit and scratched, and began to skillfully tear down the house.
Jiang Xuyan quickly grabbed its leash.” Haha, come back!”
His voice was so loud that anyone could hear the despair in it.
Tang Zinian and the others were already laughing.
Zhao Yingnan was even more emotional.
“This cat is quite obedient, other than not allowing people to touch it.”
After Jiang Xuyan subdued the overly lively dog, the group went out to ask the production team about the cooking arrangements.
“Don’t worry about that. We’ve already spoken to the villagers at the foot of the mountain. You only need to help them work and you’ll get rice, noodles, and vegetables.”
“Where’s the meat?” asked Tang Zinian.
“The meat needs to be exchanged with tea leaves. One catty of fresh tea leaves for one catty of meat.”
“Is this the rural life you were talking about, Director?” Jiang Xuyan complained. “Can 1 enjoy it like you?”
“Yes, you can!” Wei Zhengrong nodded. “As long as you finish your work, you can enjoy it like this. Is there anything wrong with this?”
The rest of them could not say anything to refute.
After all, the villagers at the foot of the mountain also lived like this.
If one did not have money, the kind of rural life where one could lay comfortably on the ground after moving a few times would not exist.
The few of them who had “recognized reality” had no choice but to divide their work.
Zhao Yingnan and Shu Ling stayed on the mountain to pick tea leaves.
Xu Xingzhou, Yu Muhuai, and Tang Zinian were in charge of going down the mountain to help people exchange for rice, noodles, and vegetables.
Jiang Xuyan and Song Qingyou were in charge of understanding the village environment before coming back to pick tea leaves.
The group of five led their dog and cat down the mountain quickly. They had thought that these things were not difficult and that they were just doing some physical work. They did not expect to encounter trouble just after asking for directions.
Tang Zinian excitedly went to ask for directions, but after asking a few people in a row, he got nothing.
Seeing him come back listlessly, Jiang Xuyan was puzzled.
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me those people in front don’t know where the village chief lives?”
Tang Zinian shook his head. “It’s not that they don’t know. It’s just that 1 don’t understand what they’re saying, and they don’t seem to understand what I’m saying either.”
“Don’t tell me we still need to ask the production team to find a translator?”
The environment of White Tea Village was so good that it could attract many tourists even if it was only selling tea leaves.
The reason why it was only developed now was that not only was the transportation here inconvenient, but the language here was also very different from the outside world. Communication was very difficult.
“Why don’t we use our hands?”
Jiang Xuyan said and wanted to go over and try.
When they looked up, they realized that Song Qingyou had already walked towards them.
The four of them quickly followed.
After a while, he heard Song Qingyou and the villagers talking.
A few minutes later, she turned to look at them.
“This big sister said that she can take us to the village chief’s house.”
“Let’s go.”
The four of them were dumbfounded.
“Qingyou, can you understand what they’re saying?” Xu Xingzhou was the first to react.
Song Qingyou nodded. “It’s a language unique to their region.”
“Have you been here before?” Yu Muhuai asked.
“No, I haven’t.”
“Then you-”
“I may not understand the local dialect, but 1 understand some ethnic languages.”
After Song Qingyou finished speaking, she went to talk to the person who asked for directions.
Their conversation was no different from a foreign language to Jiang Xuyan and the others.
The four of them looked at each other and wanted to ask Song Qingyou, ‘Did she mean that she could communicate with the locals without any obstacles?’
This was too much!
The few of them followed the two people in front of them.
“You guys are talking and laughing. What are you talking about?” Jiang Xuyan was curious.
“It’s nothing.” Song Qingyou smiled. “This big sister said that if I don’t have a place to eat and stay, 1 can stay at her house for a few days.”
Jiang Xuyan exclaimed in admiration.
“They have a small ethnic group, and their language is difficult to understand. Outsiders rarely speak the local language, so big sister is very enthusiastic about me.”
Song Qingyou was not fluent in all languages, so this time it was just a coincidence.
However, the program team and Jiang Xuyan would not think so.
After hearing Song Qingyou’s words, a staff member whispered in Wei Zhengrong’s ear, “Sister Qingyou is really all-rounded. She can live well anywhere. The interpreter you arranged for them is useless again!”
“Do I need you to say that?” Wei Zhengrong snorted..
