The longed-for village system

Chapter 35 Zhao Xiaogu's Request
"I didn't expect there to be another house here, so close to the Mushroom House."

Zhao Xiaogu had just told her it was very close, and she didn't expect it to be this close. However, the house was much worse than the Mushroom House, and you could tell at a glance that it was old.

The only good thing is the courtyard, which is planted with a lot of flowers and plants. Although they are not rare varieties, they still add a lot of color to the courtyard.

"Of course! He built the Mushroom House all by himself, isn't that amazing?" Zhao Xiaogu had a proud look on her face, as if she had built it herself!

Liu Shishi really didn't know this. She was only invited to fill in for someone else at the last minute. She had seen some of the previous footage, but not all of it.

"Really? That's really amazing! You managed to build such a beautiful yard. No wonder Teacher He and Teacher Huang always say you're a treasure." Liu Shishi praised sincerely.

Chen Qing wasn't proud of Liu Shishi's praise. It was just building a mushroom house. If conditions allowed, he could build the Forbidden City. This was nothing to brag about.

"It's alright. Everyone in the countryside has a little skill. Please have a seat, I'll go water these flowers and plants."

Seeing that Chen Qing was busy, the two women did not disturb him. Zhao Xiaogu led Liu Shishi to the bamboo chair and lay down as if it were her own home, not forgetting to comment, "Comfortable, the things made by this master are really different."

"It's different. It's so much more comfortable than the ones we use on set. They look pretty much the same, so why does it feel so different when you lie down on them?"

Although she didn't groan like Zhao Xiaogu, Liu Shishi admitted that the chair was extraordinary. She felt a cool breeze coming from the bamboo onto her skin, which was incredibly comfortable in this hot weather.

As Zhao Xiaogu comfortably reclined in her chair, she heard Liu Shishi's words and, recalling her years of working on film sets, couldn't help but feel tempted.

"Xiao Chen, can I do you a favor? Could you make me a recliner like this too? I'd like to take it back with me to use when I'm resting during filming."

Chen Qing did not refuse Zhao Xiaogu's request. It would be a matter of reciprocity to give her a gift after receiving her phone. He had been thinking about what would be appropriate to give her, but since she had taken the initiative to ask, it was perfect.

"Okay, when are you leaving? I'll hurry up and get something ready for you before you go," Chen Qing replied.

"We have to leave the day after tomorrow, before the new guests arrive at noon. Is that enough time? If not, it's okay. Just take your time and let me know." Zhao Xiaogu indicated that she wasn't in a hurry, as long as he agreed to give her the chair. Who knows, she might even be able to participate in "Back to Field" again because of this chair!

Chen Qing calculated that the time was fine, but he would have to go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo later. Soaking it overnight and starting processing tomorrow morning should be enough to finish it before noon the day after tomorrow.

"Okay, I understand. It should be fine."

Seeing that Chen Qing agreed, Liu Shishi also wanted to ask for one, but she didn't because she wasn't familiar with Chen Qing.

Moreover, she also wanted to see if Zhao Xiaogu's request would be rejected. If even Zhao Xiaogu was rejected, then there was no need for her to ask. Now that Chen Qing readily agreed, she was tempted again.

After watering the plants, Chen Qing returned to the eaves and saw Zhao Xiaogu lying casually on her recliner. He couldn't help but tease her, "I'm telling you, you should at least be more careful! If other people see you like this, your image will be ruined. Look at how dignified Shishijie is."

Zhao Xiaogu completely ignored his reminder and remained slumped in the recliner. "There are no outsiders here. Besides, so what if they see? I'm not afraid of having another persona."

She could never emulate the demure, feminine manner of the advisor. Besides, there were no cameras around, so shouldn't she let down her guard and rest?

As for the man in front of her? She didn't treat him like an outsider. Friends should be relaxed and comfortable together. It would be too tiring to pretend in front of friends!
Chen Qing thought Zhao Xiaogu's answer was very "Zhao Xiaodao" (a Chinese idiom meaning sharp-tongued), and it seemed that Zhao Xiaogu's personality was still the same whether in her past life or this world, which was good.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for staying in the new home for one day and resting for one night. The reward is the special skill of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Chen Qing was used to the system suddenly ringing out from time to time, but this time he was still surprised, not frightened but pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect to get a reward for staying in the Mushroom House for a day.

Traditional Chinese medicine skills are comprehensive, which is far superior to the single skill of bone setting. Now I can barely be considered a doctor myself! I might as well find someone to try it out and see how it works.
