The longed-for village system

Chapter 272 He Huang's Visit
On October 15th, the show "Longing" resumed filming after a month's break. On the evening of the 14th, Teacher He and Teacher Huang arrived at Manyuan Village a day early. The reason they came to Manyuan Village a day early was naturally because they knew that Stephen Chow and Uncle Da were receiving treatment there. They came a day early to see them, since they wouldn't be able to visit them during the later stages of filming.

When Stephen Chow met Teacher He, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude. In his mind, Chen Qing left the village for Hong Kong because of Teacher He's phone call. Otherwise, Chen Qing might not have gone there. After staying here for a few days, he also heard some news about Chen Qing leaving the village.

Others may not know, but Teacher He naturally knows his importance in Chen Qing's heart. He smiled and said to Stephen Chow, "If that's the case, then I dare not accept your thanks. You may not know that there is only one person in this world who can persuade Xiao Chen to leave the village."

Huang Sanshi stood by, smiling without saying a word, because he also felt that what Teacher He said was true. Which of their friends hadn't invited Chen Qing to leave the village to record a show or have fun? But in the end, none of them succeeded, especially this time with continuous trips out. For the time being, there was only one person in the world who could persuade Chen Qing.

And this person is their sister-in-law Zhao Xiaogu. So far, Chen Qing has gone out several times because of her, and this time will definitely be no exception.

Stephen Chow's invitation and personal favor might be important to others, but he didn't think it was important to Chen Qing. Chen Qing didn't care much about such things; he wouldn't care whether the person was a top figure in the entertainment industry or a capitalist unless introduced by a good friend!
"Teacher He, what do you mean?"

As Zhou Xingxing spoke, he turned his gaze to Chen Qing's old house not far away. If it weren't for Teacher He persuading Chen Qing to leave the village to treat his old partner, there would only be one possibility.

"That's right. This time, it must have been Xiao Gu who persuaded Chen Qingfei to go to Hong Kong to treat Teacher Wu Mengda."

As Teacher He spoke, everyone turned their attention to Chen Qing, since he was the only one who knew the truth, and they wanted to see what Chen Qing thought.

Chen Qing simply smiled and remained silent in the face of their gazes, but his demeanor was, in effect, telling them the answer.

Teacher He and the other three were all intelligent people. Seeing Chen Qing's reaction, they knew the answer. Sure enough, it was Zhao Xiaogu who spoke up. Teacher He and Teacher Huang were not surprised at all. On the contrary, they had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Phew! Thank goodness!" Wu Mengda breathed a huge sigh of relief and exclaimed, "I was just a hair's breadth away from kicking the bucket. It seems that Little Bone's sister-in-law is my savior!"

"Xiao Chen, how could you be so heartless! Didn't you say you wanted to see me work with Stephen Chow in a movie again? Is this how you treat me?"

Wu Mengda then began to showcase his comedic acting skills, silently accusing Chen Qing of failing to save him, which made Teacher He and the others clap and laugh.

Chen Qingli responded to Uncle Da's acting skills with a serious expression, "Yes! I want to see you and Stephen Chow act together again, because my daughter wants to see the two of you work together again."

"Pfft!" Stephen Chow couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing his partner's death stare, he immediately apologized, "Ahem! Sorry, I just thought of something funny."

Teacher He and Huang Sanshi couldn't help but laugh, but when they saw Stephen Chow getting a death stare, they forced themselves not to laugh out loud, secretly sighing that Chen Qing's answer had indeed not disappointed them.

He wanted to see the golden duo collaborate because his wife wanted to see it—a true doting husband! But only in this way could Zhao Xiaogu persuade Chen Qing to leave the village. "Hey Chen, may I ask a question? I've been here for several days and I've heard some villagers say you won't leave the village, and Teacher He and the others also say you won't leave. Why are you living in seclusion in this village? Is it because you don't want irrelevant people to disturb your life?"

Stephen Chow asked Chen Qing a question, partly to ease the awkwardness between his old partner and partly out of curiosity about why Chen Qing never ventured far from the village, even when invited by He Jiong and his friends. There must be a reason for this.

The only reason he could think of was that Chen Qing was living in seclusion here and didn't want his skills to be discovered or known by too many people. This also explained why he told himself and the others not to tell anyone after he treated them.

What kind of seclusion is this? It's just that the damn system restricts him from leaving the village at will. Otherwise, with his current assets, he would not only travel around the world, but he would definitely travel all over China to experience the differences between this world's China and his previous life's China.

"Dog system!"

"."

After cursing the system, Chen Qing still answered Stephen Chow's question, "I wouldn't say that! I just want to live a more leisurely and simpler life. The outside world is too attractive, and dangerous things are often beautiful, dazzling, and attractive. Life is short, so there's no need to waste time on these things."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing instantly felt superior, and an aura of arrogance subtly rose around him. However, Teacher He and the others did not think that Chen Qing was showing off. On the contrary, they felt that Chen Qing had a very clear understanding of the world. They had lived most of their lives and had one foot in the grave before they had such a feeling.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang were not surprised at all by Chen Qing's words. When they first met Chen Qing, he was just like that—mature beyond his years, insightful, and his manners far exceeded what one would expect from someone his age.

However, Zhou Xingxing and Wu Mengda had only known Chen Qing for a short time. Although they knew that Chen Qing had a mature mind, they did not expect him to be so calm and insightful, even more so than they had.

Wu Mengda gave Chen Qing a thumbs up and sincerely praised him, "I've lived most of my life and gone through life and death before I could barely see through the essence of some things. I never expected that you, young Chen, would see things so clearly at such a young age. I admire you so much!"

"They say heroes emerge from among the young, and it seems that this saying couldn't be more fitting for you, Xiao Chen. No wonder you possess such medical skills at such a young age; your character is truly extraordinary!"

Stephen Chow also admired Chen Qing's mindset. Such talent, yet such clarity of mind, is rare even among those over fifty, let alone someone his age.

Indeed, the geniuses of this world are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them. Others call him a genius, but now it seems I am still far from being one!
"Xiao Chen is really good in this respect. He doesn't compete or fight. As long as he maintains this mindset, he will live a clear and transparent life. We are just too attached to too many things in this world, so we live too tiring lives." Huang Sanshi sighed about this.

Teacher He nodded in agreement. Don't be fooled by the fact that this group of people are all successful and have no worries in the eyes of others. Sometimes, he really doesn't know what he's busy with. It seems that there's nothing left in his life except work.
