The longed-for village system

Chapter 181 Li Yong and Zhu Xun Leave
Watching the two of them oblivious to everyone else, Huang Sanshi couldn't help but think of his own wife, while Peng Peng wondered when his own partner would finally appear.

"Hello Xiao Gu!" Teacher He walked into the camera's view and waved to Zhao Xiao Gu.

Then Jia Ge, Hai Tao, and others waved to Zhao Xiaogu and greeted her, and of course, they also teased the two of them.

Zhao Xiaogu was surprised to see so many people around her. Although she felt a little shy, she politely returned their greetings.

After dealing with the matters at the Mushroom House, Chen Qing returned to the old house. Since the male guest had come, there were two beds available, which made it a bit tight, so Chen Qing decided to go back to the old house to sleep.

Back at the old house, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu naturally spent another night together, planning their schedule for the next week.

The next morning, Chen Qing found Huang Sanshi and they booked a flight to Beijing for the morning after tomorrow. The reason it was the morning after tomorrow instead of the evening of tomorrow was naturally due to the system's ridiculous settings.

He figured he wouldn't waste a precious day like this, since he was going out tomorrow night.

Huang Sanshi didn't care about this. It didn't matter whether he left tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow morning. It was fine to stay one more night and go back to the capital with Chen Qing.

"How's it going, Xiao Chen? Have you decided what song to sing? Is it a new song or 'The Young China'?" Huang Sanshi asked Chen Qing.

The song "Ode to Young China" was very fitting to be sung on August 1st, Army Day, because China's present-day prosperity was bought with the young lives of countless martyrs.

"I've prepared a new song this time, and I feel it's more suitable."

"A new song? Xiao Chen, what new song have you written this time? Sing it for us."

Teacher He walked out of the house as he spoke. He was no longer surprised to hear that Chen Qing had written another new song. Anyway, this person's mind was different from theirs. Writing a new song in one night would be difficult for others, but it was too easy for him.

"What? Is Brother Chen going to sing a new song? Wait for me!" Peng Peng heard the commotion and ran out of the house with his phone, snapping photos of Chen Qing.

Jia Ge, his sister, and the others came out of the room when they heard the commotion. They looked at Chen Qing with expectant expressions. How could they miss out on listening to the new song?

"What are you doing? Listen carefully! We didn't say we'd sing it now. This song is for the Army Day gala, and it's a secret for now," Chen Qing explained to the crowd surrounding him.

Hearing Chen Qing say that, Teacher He was slightly embarrassed, after all, he was the one who first shouted out the new song. However, after so many years in the entertainment industry, his thick skin is naturally extraordinary, and he easily defused the situation.

"Xiao Chen is amazing! He finished composing it in just one night. Can you tell me what kind of song it is?"

"Patriotic songs should be alright."

Chen Qing didn't intend to reveal any more details. Although he personally felt there was nothing wrong with the song, the final choice depended on the director's arrangements. Who knew what they would choose after reviewing the score? They might even ask him to sing "The Young China's Tale." Everyone nodded, and seeing that Chen Qing wasn't going to continue, they chose to skip the topic. At that moment, Lao Wang finished his work and was ready to begin filming.

Old Wang and the others were slightly disappointed that Chen Qing didn't perform a new song, since every time Chen Qing performs a new song, it generates a surge in viewership, and their show's name almost always appears on the trending topics list. However, they only felt a slight regret, as there will be many more opportunities like this in the future.
At noon, Chen Qing went to the hotel to check on Li Yong and Zhu Xun as usual. Afterwards, he told them that he would be leaving the village for a week, so that they wouldn't worry about not being able to find him later.

"Xiao Chen, are you going to attend this year's Army Day gala? Great, great! You've finally decided to go out."

Zhu Xun was overjoyed to hear the news. She valued this person who was both her savior and like a younger brother. She had been unable to persuade him to leave the village, but now she was very happy to see him go out and perform on the big stage.

“Xiao Chen, you’re still young, you should go out more and let more people see your talent,” Li Yong said, his gratitude towards Chen Qing even greater.

If Chen Qing hadn't saved him, he would have already turned into dust by now, and wouldn't have had the chance to get up, walk, or speak! That's why he wanted to see Chen Qing become famous and achieve great success.

“It’s fine to go out for a walk occasionally, but it’s still more comfortable to stay in your own doghouse.” Chen Qing replied to the group, and then instructed, “Brother Yong, your condition is basically stable now. Just continue to take your medication as required. Of course, you can leave if you want. As for Sister Xun, you can leave anytime you want. Just remember to take a medicinal bath once a week and take your medication.”

"Can I really go now?" Li Yong asked with a hint of hope.

"Of course, if I say there's no problem, then there's definitely no problem. Brother Yong, don't you trust me? Don't worry! As long as you don't do strenuous work, you can go out for a stroll or travel around for a while without any problem."

Chen Qing smiled and answered with great certainty, which was his affirmation of the system's medical skills. Since the system said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

Hearing Chen Qing say this, Li Yong turned to look at his wife, Ha Wen. Ha Wen understood what her husband was thinking, smiled and nodded at him. She believed Chen Qing's diagnosis; since he said so, there must be no problem.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go back to Beijing. I haven’t seen many old friends while I’ve been receiving treatment abroad for so long. It’s a good opportunity to go back to Beijing and see them. I feel like I’ve come back from the brink of death.” Li Yong said with deep emotion, and then asked Chen Qing, “Xiao Chen, when are you leaving? Let’s go to Beijing together! I’ll feel at ease with you by my side.”

"Me? I'm taking the flight the day after tomorrow morning, going with Teacher Huang and Teacher He," Chen Qing answered truthfully.

"Okay, then let's book the flight for the morning after tomorrow. Ha-wen, check online for tickets. If they're not available, book them using your work ID."

Hearing her husband's instructions, Ha Wen nodded and took out her phone to check. Fortunately, it was the off-season for tourism, so there were still plenty of plane tickets available, and the two of them chose first class.

Seeing this, Zhu Xun changed her mind. Originally, she wanted to stay in Manyuan Village for a few more days, but now that Chen Qing and Li Yong had left for the capital, she naturally packed her bags and prepared to go back.

"Sister Hawen, please book me a plane ticket back home! It'll be too boring for me to stay here after you all leave. I'd better go back to Beijing and have a good time with Xiao Chen."

Originally, he came just to give some instructions, but unexpectedly, everyone ended up leaving. Of course, Chen Qing wouldn't stop them from leaving. What was the point of staying here now that they were all cured? Once they left, his leisurely days would return.
