Chapter 200: The Outing! Let's Go!
The weather is fine and sunny; it's Saturday.
Last night, Lin Fan still couldn't muster the courage to do "that" with Su Ruowei.
At 8 a.m., everyone gathered in front of Ruowei Company, waiting for the bus to arrive.
For the two-day outing, Su Ruowei only brought one bag, while Lin Fan went empty-handed.
Looking at the dozen or so people in the company, they seemed to be on a vacation.
Zhang Ting and Lu Renjia, the two young girls, each dragged a suitcase, while the others carried at least a large hiking backpack.
Even Nangong Jin brought a small leather suitcase.
The bus stopped at the company gate, and after everyone boarded with their luggage, they headed towards Lingchuan Village.
"You're just going to have fun for two days, won't it be heavy to bring so much stuff?"
After starting the car, Su Ruowei asked Zhang Ting in front.
Zhang Ting glanced at the handbag in Su Ruowei's hand: "Sister Ruowei, why did you only bring this little bit of stuff?"
Su Ruowei said slowly, "When we arrive at Lingchuan Village, I will treat everyone to a hotel and a restaurant. Even if there is no hotel, there should be a farmhouse or something similar."
Zhang Ting turned around and looked at Su Ruowei in surprise: "I thought Brother Fan knew."
"Lingchuan Village has no hotels or farmhouses; it's a village with simple and honest folk customs."
"That's how I remember it. I checked online again yesterday, and Lingchuan Village is still the same as it was more than ten years ago. It hasn't changed much."
“I told everyone about the situation last night and asked them to prepare themselves.”
"Because it was Brother Fan who suggested going to Lingchuan Village, I thought Brother Fan already knew, so I didn't tell Sister Ruowei."
Su Ruowei looked at Lin Fan beside her in confusion: "Is this how husbands are?"
Lin Fan's expression froze instantly, unable to look Su Ruowei in the eye: "Don't worry—"
Lin Fan spoke without confidence, his mind focused on investigating the Orchid Grass, forgetting about the preparations for the outing. Now, where would this carload of people stay for the night?
"I knew you were prepared, honey."
Su Ruowei then said to Zhang Ting, "Don't worry, Tingting, Lin Fan has everything ready."
"As expected of Brother Fan, he really thinks of everything."
Zhang Ting looked helplessly at the suitcases on the luggage rack: "I should have asked beforehand. Taking so much stuff is just a burden."
The two-hour journey was quite boring, so Su Ruowei leaned back in her seat, put on her headphones, and listened to music.
Lin Fan glanced at Su Ruowei, then looked awkwardly out the window. It was no longer realistic to make any more arrangements, and even if he asked Gao Xuan to find a place to stay, it wouldn't help.
We can only leave it to fate and take it one step at a time.
The skyscrapers gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, and the scenery along the way changed many times, with forests, grasslands, and rocks.
"We're almost at Lingchuan Village!" Zhang Ting exclaimed excitedly as she saw the terraced fields on the distant mountain.
Everyone on the bus perked up, excitedly chatting as they gazed at the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Lingchuan Village is indeed a great place for leisure and vacation, with beautiful scenery and fresh air.
Looking at the distant mountains meeting the blue sky, the beautiful scenery is refreshing and invigorating, and I am completely immersed in the lush greenery.
“April is the season for picking spring tea. There should be tea picking activities here. Let’s get off the bus and drop off our things, then we can go,” Su Ruowei said to Lin Fan, looking out the window at the scenery.
"Picking tea leaves—"
Lin Fan stammered, "Go, go ahead."
Zhang Ting opened half of the car window, and the fragrance of earth and tea wafted in.
"It must have rained last night; the air is a bit humid."
Zhang Ting closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "God is protecting us; it's a beautiful sunny day today."
Su Ruowei's face beamed with a smile: "You really made the right choice coming here!"
After about ten minutes, the good mood of everyone on the bus was completely ruined.
Just as the archway of Lingchuan Village was within reach, the front wheels of the bus got stuck in the mud.
"Get out and push the car! Otherwise, it won't be able to move," the driver shouted, turning around.
There were more than ten people on the bus, mostly girls. They all frowned as they looked at the muddy road outside.
Lin Fan didn't dare to push the bus himself, fearing he might cause trouble for himself.
Just as Su Ruowei was about to lead by example and encourage everyone to push the bus, a group of people ran over from a distance, went around to the back of the bus, and started pushing it with all their might.
Upon seeing this, the driver realized that kind villagers had come to help, so he quickly started the bus, and soon the bus was freed from the mud pit.
Upon entering Lingchuan Village, everyone on the bus got off, and the bus slowly drove away. The villagers who had helped earlier also came over.
Several villagers were covered in mud as they pushed the cart, the spinning wheels of which swirled around them.
"Thank you so much!" Su Ruowei said gratefully to the villagers.
"You're too kind! It's just a pleasure to help others."
The villager in the lead laughed and asked, "Are you here in Lingchuan Village for tourism? Did you come together? From the same company?"
Su Ruo smiled and said, "Yes, sir, we're all from the same company. We're here for team building and a picnic."
Are you the village chief?
Zhang Ting walked up curiously: "I am also from Lingchuan Village. More than ten years ago, I moved to the city with my parents."
“That’s right, I am He Biao, the village chief of Lingchuan Village.”
The villager in the lead nodded: "Young lady, you're also from Lingchuan Village, so we're family. You can stay at my house tonight."
"Why don't you stay at the village chief's house tonight? He's a very nice guy," several villagers behind them chimed in.
Su Ruowei waved her hand: "I'm so sorry—"
"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Please take good care of us, Village Chief He!"
Lin Fan spoke before Su Ruowei could, saying that He Biao's appearance had just solved the accommodation problem; there's always a way out.
Lin Fan then carefully observed the seven villagers in front of him. Apart from He Biao, who looked to be around 50 years old, the other six were all young and strong men.
The villagers are all burly and strong-looking, and the village chief, He Biao, has a long scar on his face; if you didn't know better, you'd think he was a bad guy.
He Biao said enthusiastically, "That's right, we're all from Shancheng, there's no distinction between you and me!"
"Then I'll have to trouble Village Chief He!"
Unable to refuse the villagers' hospitality, Su Ruowei had no choice but to agree. She planned to pay Village Chief He for lodging when they arrived at his home, so as not to let the villagers suffer a loss.
On the way to He Biao's house, Lin Fan and his wife walked ahead with He Biao. Su Ruowei asked:
"Village Chief He, are there any tea-picking experience programs in our Lingchuan Village?"
He Biao was taken aback for a moment: "Yes, we have whatever project you want."
"That's good. Please show us around later. It's my first time seeing a tea plantation," Su Ruo said with a smile.
He Biao's eyes swept back and forth between Su Ruowei's neck and thighs: "No problem, I'll show you how it goes."
Lin Fan watched from the sidelines, feeling somewhat uneasy. He sensed that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Is this tea-picking project that Village Chief He started himself?
