Maybe it was because the last incident taught Ji Ran a profound lesson, but this time she didn't choose to take risks halfway up the mountain, but honestly rented a full 20 acres of terraced fields.

At the same time, Jiang Yan officially joined the director team and started his new job, while Zhou Qingran joined the business team and was responsible for external relations.

This time they need to build a triangular greenhouse on the terraced fields to ensure that the planted rainbow cereus can germinate smoothly.

This was no easy task, and Zhao Yibo and Li Gengyun took on the responsibility of coordinating the overall situation. They developed a greenhouse construction plan based on the terrain, measured the dimensions of the terraced fields, and calculated the maximum utilization rate of the plots.

Lu Zhuo, Li Hao, and He Haonan were responsible for purchasing tarpaulins, bamboo poles, and ground spikes. They needed to select the right materials in the market, comparing prices to ensure they met their quality and price requirements.

Zhao Xiaotong, Chen Shaoxi, Wang Yiheng and Jiang Dunhao went to the nearby bamboo forest to buy bamboo.

While everyone was busy, Yuan Lai was not idle either. She carried a bamboo basket and, together with Hong Bao, spread out the mushrooms that the program crew had picked in their spare time to dry.

Yuan Lai had been running back and forth between the hospital and the village these days, completely unaware of the two new people on the show. It wasn't until Jiang Qingtian squatted on the ground and reached for the mushrooms in the bamboo basket that Yuan Lai was startled.

"Oh!" Yuan Lai frantically took the bamboo basket away, "You can't eat these!"

"Where is this child from?" Hongbao asked curiously.

"This is Director Jiang's child."

After saying that, she picked up Jiang Qingtian and walked towards the director team.

But Jiang Yan had already gone out with his brothers to shoot on location. Yuan Lai changed direction and went directly to where Zhou Qingran lived.

After crossing two paths, Yuan Lai saw the bald Lin Qiao standing at the door. Lin Qiao was actually quite handsome, but his bald head made people feel a little strange.

"Where are you going?" Lin Qiao asked casually when he saw Yuan Lai coming over.

"Take the tadpoles to find their mother."

Lin Qiao made way, "Oh, then go ahead."

Yuan Lai continued to take Jiang Qingtian towards Zhou Qingran's room.

Zhou Qingran's room is located at the innermost side of the corridor. Due to its remote location, sunlight can only reach half of the room.

Yuan Lai walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, making a crisp "dong dong" sound.

No response came from the room.

Yuan Lai looked down at his watch. It seemed that Zhou Qingran was really busy with something.

After a little thought, she decided to send a message to the couple in the program group to reassure them.

Yuan Lai put the child down, turned on his phone, and tapped the keyboard quickly: "Jiang Qingtian is here with me."

Not long after the message was sent, Jiang Yan replied: "I'm outside now."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qingran also sent a message: "I'm at the company."

Yuan Lai sent a message asking, "Is there no one to take care of the child?"

Zhou Qingran quickly replied: "I hired an aunt, but she took half a day off. Jiang Yan, why are you out?"

Jiang Yan explained: "I can't help it, it's work arrangement, but I found someone to look after Tiantian."

Yuan Lai replied: "Forget it, it's good for you to know that the child is with me."

Zhou Qingran responded: "Okay, I need to wait until the day after tomorrow to return."

Jiang Yan then said, "We've suddenly run into some tough situations. Someone has blocked them in the store. We're trying to get the store owner to open the back door so they can leave."

After Yuan Lai sent a question mark, he looked down and found that Jiang Qingtian, who was standing at his feet, was gone.

She didn't have time to think and rushed downstairs in two steps.

At the door, Lin Qiao and Xing Zhanyi were standing together and talking.

"Did you see any children running away?" Yuan Lai's voice revealed a hint of anxiety.

Lin Qiao and Xing Zhanyi shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't see it.

Yuan Lai turned around and ran back upstairs without any hesitation.

He quickly scanned the room and saw that the door of the first room was tightly closed with a large lock on it. It was obviously impossible for anyone to get in.

The child should be in the second room! Yuan Lai quickly walked to the door of the second room, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Wait a minute," a voice responded from the room.

As the door slowly opened, a figure appeared in front of her. It was Ji Ran.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Ji Ran looked at Yuan Lai curiously.

Yuan Lai poked his head into the room and saw that the layout of the room was very simple. Apart from a bed and a wardrobe, there was almost no other furnishings.

But she didn't see Jiang Qingtian in the room.

"Excuse me, have you seen a little girl about one year old?"

Ji Ran replied, "I was sleeping in the house the whole time and didn't see it."

This is so strange! He didn't run out, nor was he in the room, so how could he just disappear out of thin air?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this kind of thing is not completely impossible. Or maybe the child found a particularly secluded place to hide.

Thinking of this, Yuan Lai didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately got up and went downstairs to find Ren He for help. After all, Ren He was a temporary bodyguard.

As Yuan Lai hurried downstairs, her cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from the hospital.

"Hello, is this Yuan Lai?" A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, it's me."

"Well, An An's condition has stabilized now, and she can be discharged. When would it be convenient for you to come over and complete the discharge procedures?"

After hearing the news, Yuan Lai finally felt a little relieved. At least An An was no longer in serious condition.

However, she now has more important things to do, which is to find Ren He and see if she can find out where the child went.

So, Yuan Lai told the hospital staff that she would go there as soon as possible to complete the discharge procedures, then hung up the phone and continued to rush to the hotel where Ren He was staying.

Yuan Lai sent a message to Ren He, but received no reply. She called Ren He, but was greeted with a "call in progress" tone.

Yuan Lai became more and more anxious and paced back and forth at the hotel entrance.

What on earth is Ren He doing?

"Be right back."

It was with great difficulty that Ren He replied to her message.

This wait lasted nearly three hours.

Yuan Lai paced at the hotel entrance for a long time, and finally saw Ren He walking slowly towards him.

"Why did you come back just now?"

Ren He, slightly drunk, replied nonchalantly, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm here right now."

Seeing this, Yuan Lai was a little angry. "You still have the mood to drink? Did you know that Jiang Qingtian is missing?"

Song Qiyuan asked him to watch over him, and seeing how much Song Qiyuan cared about this matter, he knew that there should be no mistakes.

Ren He burped, "I know, she went where she should go and will be back in the evening, don't worry."

Yuan Lai didn't believe Ren He's words at all. She felt he was just trying to fool her. "Nonsense! She's only one year old. Where can she go?"

Ren He shook his body, then raised his head and looked at the sky. With the alcohol in his head, he suddenly said, "Do you see the white clouds in the sky? They are not white clouds, they are..."

Yuan Lai felt helpless about Ren He's nonsense. She couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted him, "I don't want to hear you say this. Answer my question now."

However, Ren He seemed to have not heard Yuan Lai's words at all, and continued to talk to himself: "They are made of water, rain is wine, and I love to drink."

Yuan Lai looked at the unreliable Ren He in front of him and felt extremely helpless.

Zhao Yibo and Li Gengyun walked back from the field with measuring tapes, discussing the data they had just measured in the field as they walked.

Zhao Yibo spread the plan he had drawn on the table and couldn't wait to show it to the director team, which received a lot of praise.

The four people who bought bamboo also followed a truck full of bamboo back. Seeing so much bamboo, Li Gengyun and Zhao Yibo stepped forward to help unload the truck.

The shopping trio had not returned yet.

As time passed, everyone became more and more anxious.

"Why haven't they come back yet? I saw in the group chat that they were blocked in the store?"

"I thought so too. It's not like he can't come back now."

“I asked in the group, but no one replied.”

"The director has already sent someone to pick him up, and there will be news soon."

"Let's split some bamboo first, and then change the water for the seeds after dinner."

"when can we have our meal?"

"We have to wait until the three of them come back before we can eat. If you're hungry, take some bread."

When Yuan Lai returned, the sun had already set and the streetlights along the road were lighting up one after another.

Only the village where they lived was brightly lit.
