After placing the items on her shoulders in the designated spot, Fang Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back a few paces.
"Are you alright?" Chen Huan stepped forward, letting Fang Miaomiao lean on her.
Wen Yan'an also looked at Fang Miaomiao with concern, "Mom."
"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted," Fang Miaomiao said, shaking her head.
The original host's body was too weak. It seemed she needed to exercise more in the future, otherwise it would be difficult to continue acting.
[Is Fang Miaomiao overacting? It's just carrying water, acting like half her life is gone, is it necessary?]
[Are you blind, or have you never watched Miaomiao's dramas before? If her acting was that good, she wouldn't be constantly criticized.]
[Ahem, for a moment I couldn't tell if the person saying others are blind upstairs is Miaomiao's fan or a hater. Regardless, Miaomiao's acting is indeed not great. I hope Miaomiao can hone her acting skills better in the future, or she really won't go far.]
[+1, I have to say, what's wrong with our Miaomiao being pampered? She managed to carry water for so long. If you're not happy, try it yourself. It's easy to criticize when you're not the one doing it. Carrying water is really tiring, especially if you've never done it before. Your shoulders feel like they're being pressed down by heavy stones.]
"Miaomiao, you're really amazing," Cui Mantong said enviously.
Fang Miaomiao took the water handed over by Cui Mantong, drank several large gulps, and then raised an eyebrow, saying, "I think I'm pretty amazing too."
"Mom, are you showing off?"
"I'm always cool."
"I really didn't expect you two to actually carry the water here," Zha Jie said with joy in his eyes. "I admire you."
"Don't mention it," Fang Miaomiao waved dismissively. "So, does this mean our mission is complete?"
"A perfect conclusion."
Only then did Fang Miaomiao have the strength to get up from the ground. "Brother Zha Jie, do you need to carry water from that well every time you plant trees?"
"How could that be?" Zha Jie shook his head and smiled. "Technology changes lives. We transport water by vehicle to water them."
"So... should the director and staff explain why they made us go so far to carry water?"
Facing the angry eyes of two beauties, Zha Jie felt a bit guilty. He backed away a few steps, completely selling out Chen Tianming. "Your director said he wanted to see if you could endure hardship, so I found a place quite far away to test you."
Afraid they wouldn't believe him, Zha Jie quickly swore by his goddess, "Really, our village actually has another place to fetch water, but it's very far, and I didn't tell your director."
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Brother Zha Jie, for saving our lives."
The speed at which their expressions changed left Zha Jie bewildered. "You guys?"
Fang Miaomiao and Cui Mantong exchanged a look, almost bowing to Zha Jie.
At this moment.
A staff member, having received a message from Chen Tianming, subtly reminded them, "We can head back now."
Getting into the car.
Fang Miaomiao and Cui Mantong lay listlessly in the SUV.
Even the "Akina Mountain Car God" couldn't stir any interest in them.
Returning to the village.
Chen Tianming was already waiting at the village entrance.
The sun shone brightly, and he wasn't in the mood to smile.
Looking at the smiling Chen Tianming, Fang Miaomiao just wanted to turn and leave.
"Hello, little friends," Chen Tianming had the staff prepare parasols for the children and Senior Zhou.
Cui Mantong's mouth twitched at the sight. "Director, what is this operation?"
"Ahem, let's get down to business."
"Mom, let's share the shade."
Fang Miaomiao resolutely sat down on the ground, letting Wen Yan'an hold the umbrella for her.
Cui Mantong immediately followed suit.
Chen Huan coughed and sat on the ground.
"Do you guys have to be like this?"
The three nodded simultaneously.
"For a moment, I don't know what to say to you. We're live on air, can't you at least pay attention to your image?"
"We're tired, no image."
"Yeah, Director, we can't move."
"Rascals," Chen Tianming was so angry he puffed out his beard. "You two are just rascals."
"Director, you should tell us the mission."
Chen Tianming could only glare and say, "Share your thoughts after working hard this morning."
"Didn't we already say that?"
"Yeah, Director, didn't we already say that?"
The two of them chiming in made Chen Tianming almost have a heart attack. He pointed behind them, "You can go, leave this place, leave my show."
After a bit of playful banter, Chen Tianming continued with the question.
Ye Nan was still the first to raise her hand.
"Little friend Nannan is very brave now, so Little friend Nannan will answer this question first."
"Planting trees is very difficult."
"Why?"
Ye Nan shook her head. "Because there's no water, these trees grow very, very slowly, and some trees have even withered and died due to lack of water."
"That's right, Nannan, you're amazing."
"We need to protect the environment and plant more trees."
"Yuan Yuan, why do you say that?"
"Big trees produce oxygen for us humans to live on this planet. If there were no trees, no forests, our living spaces would be replaced by sandstorms, and then we would have nowhere to live."
"Yuan Yuan, that's very well said."
"Technology changes power."
Chen Tianming nodded with satisfaction, then finally set his gaze on Wen Yan'an.
Wen Yan'an looked at Fang Miaomiao.
"An'an?"
"Mom, I'm very tired. Mom is the hope of the child."
Chen Tianming was stunned. "An'an, why did you come up with that answer?"
"Because my mom makes An'an feel very proud, and Uncle Zha Jie also feels proud of his mom," Wen Yan'an said with a smile. "Mom and Aunt Mantong carried the task with their own bodies, and Si Si and I just need to stay by their side. Uncle Zha Jie's mom painted a beautiful picture for Uncle Zha Jie, and together with Uncle Zha Jie, we will protect our beautiful hometown."
"Good son, you really know how to talk."
"Mom?"
"Good boy." Fang Miaomiao looked at those watery big eyes, her own reflection mirroring in his pupils.
"Mom, I will grow up quickly."
Then I will protect you, shield you from the wind and rain. Mom, Zha Jie's mom is Zha Jie's pride, and you are An'an's pride and glory. Thank you, Mom, for coming into this world.
"No rush," Fang Miaomiao said with a smile. "An'an is so cute right now."
Soft and cuddly, you can pinch his face however you want, bully him however you want, it's so satisfying. If he grows up, and then goes through adolescence or rebelliousness, that would be truly troublesome.
"Mom likes it."
"Ahem, little friend An'an, that was very well said," Chen Tianming said, watching the two look at each other, their affection almost overflowing. He couldn't help but worry if Wen Yan'an would be in trouble with Master Wen after this episode ended, cough, cough...
