Xingchen Di woke up early the next morning.

Everyone else was still asleep, so he quietly got out of bed and just put on his shoes when he saw Xu Pei lying on the top bunk looking down at him, obviously just waking up, his eyes not yet fully open.

Xingchen Di took one look at him and went into the toilet. When he came out of the toilet, Xu Pei also came down.

Xingchen Di took her toiletries to the bathroom, and was undressing when Xu Pei came in.

"Are you going to take a shower?"

"Hmm."

"Don't wash, let's go for a walk, the air outside is particularly good."

Because Xu Pei had behaved abnormally yesterday, Xingchen Di nodded and followed Xu Pei out of the room, just as they both returned to the room.

"Morning." Yihua Duan said.

"Morning."

"Let's go." Xu Pei said.

Yihua Duan watched Xu Pei and Xingchen Di go out, and leaned against the wall, squinting and lying down for a while.

The air outside is particularly fresh, the wind is cool, the day is just dawn, the program team is not yet up.

"Where did you run to yesterday, for so long." Xingchen Di asked.

"I don't know." Xu Pei said.

Xingchen Di pursed her lips and said as she walked away, "Did you do it on purpose."

Xu Pei smiles and says, "A little."

The wind outside is so cool and soothing, blowing on the body comfortably.

"I chose the roses." Xingchen Di said.

Xu Pei gave a "hmm" and smiled softly, saying, "My gift is a ring."

Xingchen Di gave a "hmm".

In fact, their gifts are somewhat similar, one is a bracelet, one is a ring, both are to wear on the body of the love object.

Xu Pei said, "My legs are still a little sore, I ran too hard last night."

Xingchen Di just laughs.

"Just laugh." Xu Pei said, "Did you have a good time yesterday?"

"Which are you asking, Brother Huo or Brother Yan?"

Xu Pei gave a soft grunt and thrust both hands into his pockets.

Xingchen Di then laughed again.

"I was running yesterday when the emotions came up and I almost cried." Xu Pei said slyly.

Xingchen Di still laughs.

Xu Pei held out his hand, and Xingchen Di ducked out: "Are you a crybaby?"

"I've never cried since I can remember." Xu Pei says tersely.

"Maybe there will be time for you to cry later." Xingchen Di said immediately after a few quick steps, avoiding Xu Pei's arm.

Sun slowly climbed out, they walked to a hillock and stood, Xingchen Di stretched out against the sunrise.

For Xu Pei, it was enough to know that Xingchen Di chose the rose.

Even if the rose was not a gift from him.

"The rising sun rises in the east." Xingchen Di said.

He recalled Xu Pei telling him that the rising sun is the rising sun.

"Come on, let's go back, I guess they're all up." Xu Pei said.

"Don't run around at night later." Xingchen Di said.

"There's no guarantee." Xu Pei says, "I feel like it's working."

Xingchen Di grunted, "Next time it won't work."

Xu Pei reached out and grabbed his arm, but when he didn't, he walked quickly behind Xingchen Di. This moment is really ambiguous heart is sweet, Xu Pei just can not this show immediately end.

The two just came back downstairs and saw Bing Guo standing downstairs brushing his teeth.

"When did you two run out?" Bing Guo asked.

"Just went out for a while, a few minutes." Xingchen Di said.

"You two can't do this," Bing Guo said, "you have to ask us to film when you go out, we miss a lot of good things."

Xu Pei smiled and said, "Director, do we have anything planned for today?"

"Big arrangement today."

"Let's make it a date for the people we didn't date yesterday." Xu Pei said.

Bing Guo gave him a look: "You've changed. Do you remember what you were like when you first came here? And how come you didn't have a date yesterday, it's not a date if you don't have a date with someone you like!"

Xingchen Di smiled at the two of them and went upstairs by herself.

He returned to his room and saw Zhi Yan and the others already up, some dressing, some washing.

He took his toiletries to the bathroom where Ying Hu was taking a shower and said through the flap, "Did Xu Pei get you up? He's so good at catching opportunities. When did you come back yesterday and where did Zhi Yan take you?"

Xingchen Di said, "You were asleep when we came back."

"I fell asleep yesterday while lying down, my clothes didn't even come off." Ying Hu also had a dream yesterday, dreamed Xingchen Di.

Xu Pei then also came upstairs, and when he came up, Nuo Wen just got out of bed and asked, "Pei, when did you come back last night?"

"Didn't pay attention to the time." Xu Pei said.

Cheng Huo was still lying in bed when Xu Pei went over and called him, saying, "Director Guo said we have an important assignment today, so it's time to get up."

Cheng Huo rolled over, looking tired, squinted at him for a moment before sitting up, scratched his head, looked quite depressed, and asked, "Did it say where to go?"

"Down in the country."

The fourth installment of "Red and Blue Signal" has reached a new record high in viewership, and a phenomenal variety show has been born. With the rising ratings, the TV station has become more cautious. Recently, the control over entertainment variety shows has been further tightened, and "Red and Blue Signal" is mainly about the luxury element, which is suspected of over-promoting materialism, so the TV station had a small meeting with the program team, hoping to add a little positive energy to "Red and Blue Signal".

But the "red and blue signal" in the end is a love variety, the main love pink bubble, positive energy can also be added, but not abruptly added to the line, like the previous North City trip, they will cooperate with the local tourism department, to promote the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, positive energy will be added especially well.

Writers Liu and Bing Guo spent all day yesterday thinking about it and finally came up with a great idea.

Doing public service.

Now it's almost the end of the year, this neighborhood is all small mountain villages, they can go to send warmth to the widowed elderly and left-behind children ah.

But they are located in an area with a developed tourism industry, the local mountain villages are not tourist attractions are also taking the farmhouse style, apparently each well-off. The team contacted the local authorities and finally locked in a few remote mountain villages in other counties.

"We hope that through our program, we can make more viewers pay attention to some poor mountain areas and participate in our national poverty alleviation projects. Bing Guo said, "Our initial plan is to divide into three teams, two people each from Zhangjia Village and Lijia Village, and a special geographical location in Xiaosong Temple, where each person has to climb up and down a heavenly ladder, and each person is limited in what they can bring, so we will assign four guests to go there."

Because it was for charity, everyone was very motivated. Ying Hu was even a little excited.

Yihua Duan asked, "Then how do we divide the eight?"

Bing Guo said: "The three villages are not far away, all in a mountain, we go into the mountain together and then grouped together, because the small Song Temple altitude of more than 1,500 meters, it takes at least two hours to go up the mountain, down the mountain also takes more than an hour, and to carry dozens of pounds of things, we have to pick the better physical guests on, so this time we have given everyone divided, Cheng Huo, Xu Pei, Xingchen Di, Zhi Yan, you four to the small Song Temple, Qingning Lin, Nuo Wen, you two go to Zhangjia Village, Ying Hu and Yihua Duan to Lijia Village. Huo, Xu Pei, Xingchen Di, Zhi Yan, you four go to the small Song Temple, Qingning Lin, Nuo Wen, you two go to Zhang's village, Ying Hu and Yihua Duan to Li's village."

He thought Ying Hu and others would have a problem with it, but they all agreed.

Bing Guo was quite moved.

We all have a heart to do public service ah.

These three villages are very far from where they live now, driving to at least two hours drive, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the program staff responsible for procurement has bought all the things, one person prepared a basket for them.

"I'm strong, so I can load more." Cheng Huo said.

The staff added another piece of pork to his back basket: "Almost there, it is estimated that there are 50 or 60 pounds."

Cheng Huo said, "I carried more than that in junior high school, and I have experience carrying things up the mountain."

He said and added another bucket of oil to his back basket.

Although everyone has a heart for charity, most of them are people who can't carry on their shoulders and hands, like Nuo Wen, to whom the program team gave two bags of rice, more than 20 pounds.

"It's too little," Nuo Wen tried with his backpack, "I'm not that useless, two more bags are fine."

"You are just carrying up now, do not feel tired, walk a few miles you will know the heavy." Xu Pei said, "If you climb the mountain again, these two bags of rice are enough for you to suffer."

"You should listen to Xu Pei," Qingning Lin said to Nuo Wen, "He often goes to the countryside to do charity work and has experience."

"Do you often do charity work?" Xingchen Di turned her head to look at Xu Pei.

Xu Pei said, "It was all with my mom."

The eight of them were limited in what they could bring, and the other staff members were responsible for carrying most of the rest. Among the eight people, the heaviest basket was Cheng Huo, followed by Zhi Yan and Xu Pei, Xingchen Di and Yihua Duan, and the lightest was Nuo Wen, Ying Hu and Qingning Lin, all with two bags of rice.

They were led down the path by the local people, the first section was the steepest, everyone held hands and walked down together, after going down to the depression, there was an abandoned train track, they walked along the train track to the east, the tracks on the train track were almost removed, and the rocks were full of weeds. Ying Hu also could not help but feel: "It's so beautiful here, you can take a big picture. It's quite beautiful to live here, and look at the lake over there."

"It might be okay for you to come here for a tour, but you won't want to live here for a long time." Cheng Huo said, "If you go further in, you might not even get a cell phone signal."

"Oh that doesn't work, I can't leave the Internet." Ying Hu said.

Go through a dark cave, turn north, and start climbing up.

The mountain road was narrow, mainly dirt, with dense forests in all directions, and occasionally passing by one or two families whose houses were only left in ruins. The road got steeper and steeper as we went up, with less dirt and more rocks, and Ying Hu said as he walked, "You say the traffic here is so bad that you can't even ride a bicycle, how did they build these brick houses? How much labor must be spent on that?"

He just finished, his feet slipped, "poof" sat on the ground, the back of his head directly into the basket, he wailed in pain.

Xingchen Di hurriedly reached out and pulled him up. Ying Hu's tears of pain came out and he said, "What kind of road is this?"

"Now you know how hard it is for the people who live here, don't you?" Bing Guo said.

"How many poor families are there today? How nice to give them tens of thousands of dollars each!" Ying Hu said.

"There are many such poor areas in the country, and what they lack is not only food, but the main meaning of our trip is to promote this poverty alleviation project of our country." Bing Guo said.

"Ying Hu thinks too simply, poverty alleviation is not a problem that can be solved by taking a few hundred thousand or a few million, the country has invested many billions." Qingning Lin said, "It is destined to be a long span, costly livelihood project."

Ying Hu blushed a little: "So."

Ying Hu is a real flower grown in a greenhouse.

This is his first time to go deep into the countryside. He had only traveled to the countryside before and experienced farming.

It took them more than forty minutes to reach Zhang's village, Qingning Lin and Nuo Wen entered the village, the remaining six of them continued on, probably another ten minutes, Li's village also arrived.

And the small Song Temple in the right front of Lijia Village, Xingchen Di tilted his head to look over, vaguely see the trees reveal a roof, the shape is extremely rustic and unique.

"That's the village's temple of the Queen Mother." A staff member said.

"It doesn't look like it's far." Xingchen Di said.

"It doesn't look far, to get up there, it will take at least an hour and a half. Let's go."

The four of them continued to climb up, with Zhi Yan in the lead, followed by Xingchen Di, followed by Cheng Huo and Xu Pei at the end.

But they this sort is completely random and accidental, further up the mountain road is more difficult, no one is in the mood to consider the love, love those things, everyone you pull me I pull you, help each other to cheer.

Xingchen Di lifted the basket behind him, because of the mountain climbing, the weather is also hot, we all wear very thin, he wore a T-shirt underneath and a thin shirt outside, the basket strangled his shoulders with red marks, soaked by sweat, stinging pain is very obvious.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Huo, behind him, asked.

Xingchen Di smiled and said, "I'll take a break."

Cheng Huo reaches out and picks up a bucket of cooking oil from his back basket.

Xingchen Di was busy saying, "Your back basket won't even fit."

"I'll carry it." Cheng Huo said and carried the barrel of oil up.

Xingchen Di went after him and asked for it, but Cheng Huo didn't say anything, but just grabbed the oil in his hand and wouldn't give it to him. Zhi Yan, who was at the front, looked back at me, his face flushed, obviously tired.

Cheng Huo is not going to return the barrel of oil to him, Xingchen Di took the top ten pounds of pork out of his back basket and put it in his own back basket. Cheng Huo carried too much stuff, was taken off a piece of meat did not notice, just gasping for breath to climb up.

Xingchen Di stood in place to catch his breath, suddenly felt someone holding his basket, he looked back, Xu Pei did not know when to take off his shirt, folded into a towel, to his shoulders, and from his basket to carry a bag of rice, said: "the road ahead is a little difficult to walk, you go to help Huo a little. "

When Xingchen Di heard this, he ran to Cheng Huo's back basket.

He feels that Cheng Huo has really carried too much.

Cheng Huo looked back and saw another bag of rice missing from Xingchen Di's back basket, but the bag appeared in Xu Pei's hand.

Cheng Huo then clutched the oil drum in his hand even tighter.

With such a long and heavy climb, the difference in their physical strength showed up, with Cheng Huo and Xu Pei being the best, followed by Zhi Yan and him. By the time they finally made it to the Little Song Temple, all four of them were sweating like rain. They were greeted by the village cadres outside the temple and went up to see the elderly and children left behind, and then walked around the village under the guidance of the village cadres.

Hearing that a television station came to record the program, a whole village almost all came, most of them are elderly and left-behind children, few young adults, the village head said they all went out to work, until the Spring Festival to return.

They ate lunch at the village headman's house, because there were distinguished guests, the village headman's house prepared a lot of dishes, Xingchen Di ran to help in the kitchen, and when they came out of the kitchen, they found that only Xu Pei was still sitting in the courtyard.

"Where are Brother Huo and Brother Yan?" Xingchen Di asked.

" Zhi Yan went to the program team for mineral water." Xu Pei said with a smile.

Xingchen Di glanced at the tea bowl on the table, the village head home conditions are also limited, too many people came this time, the tea bowl is not all new, some obviously with oil stains, Zhi Yan has a cleanliness fetish, the bowl of tea did not drink a bite.

"What about Huo?"

"Went around the village." Xu Pei said.

"Huo is a little short on words today." Xingchen Di said.

"There seems to be a problem with his company." Xu Pei said.

"Odd."

Xingchen Di stood on the stone pier and looked down, the village head's house was on the highest ground and could take in the whole small mountain village, he saw Cheng Huo standing alone under the temple of the Queen Mother, followed by a camera teacher, who was also far away from him.

Cheng Huo went inside the temple of the Queen Mother.

"You took your shirt off, is your shoulder okay?" Xingchen Di asked back.

Xu Pei rolled up his T-shirt and gave him a look, just a little red, actually okay, his shoulders are wide and strong, upper arm muscle line is also beautiful.

On the contrary, Xingchen Di's own shoulder, strangled two blood marks.

"I'm already the least memorized." Xingchen Di said.

"Your skin is too tender." Xu Pei said with a stare.

And white.

I've never seen anyone with better skin than Xingchen Di.

"Have you come to this kind of village often before?" Xingchen Di asked.

Xu Pei said, "We mainly build schools and help solve the schooling problems of children from poor families, mainly in education."

A loving man shines.

Xingchen Di felt that Xu Pei was shining.

"How long have you been doing this?" Xingchen Di asked.

"There are years, when I was a child, I followed my mother to do these, then went to school abroad, interrupted for a few years, and after I came back, I continued to do it again. I quite like to do these."

Xingchen Di admired and envied him, saying, "In the future, if I have the ability, I want to do charity work too."

Xu Pei looked at him with a smile and said, "Then let's do it together and I'll take you."

When he saw Xingchen Di smile, he said, "Really, doing charity is not enough just to have love and money, but to put it into practice, you have to have a reliable team."

Xingchen Di took a look at Xu Pei and suddenly felt that Xu Pei was so handsome.

Jiang Jin is not a tug king, he is not cold, he has a very warm heart. He is just very lonely and likes to be alone.

Xu Pei sitting on a low bench, two long legs flexed, hands on the knees, because of the lifting of the whole way, the back of his right hand bruises are obviously more prominent, the back of the hand is reddish white, there is a bruise under the little finger.

Next to the camera Wei Xiao and Xiao Li quietly look at the two people in the camera, aunt smile.

These two people sit together, the less they talk, the sweeter!
