One Pet Gets Married Chapter 30

"Brother, the bed collapsed!" After a mont of shock, Tang You'an turned on the light and sat up. She put on her shoes, threw on so clothes, opened the door, looked around, and approached a staff mber.

At this mont, the recently public gay couple Wang Chengxu and Liu Nan, who had been complaining about getting the most dilapidated room in the village, heard Tang You'an's voice and suddenly stopped grumbling. They trembled with laughter under their blanket.

Wang: "Teacher Tang's bed collapsed, pfft------"

Liu: "Good thing we ca early and didn't choose that room, haha..."

After hearing Tang You'an's voice, people in other rooms also laughed rather unkindly.

At this mont, in another room, Ning Yu was more sympathetic. Hearing the commotion, she rolled over and said to Xia Jing sleeping beside her: "What should we do? How will they sleep?"

Xia Jing was silent for a mont: "This won't do. Let's go take a look and see if we can help."

"Okay." Ning Yu nodded and got up.

After a while, the staff mber entered the room with the shivering Tang You'an to inspect. anwhile, Song Xici also crawled out of bed.

It turned out the bed had collapsed because the first wooden leg on the left and the second on the right had both broken. The breaks were uneven.

"Just saw them off and prop up both sides with so bricks." the staff mber said, bringing over a small saw and pointing outside. "There are plenty by the sheep pen."

"Alright." Tang You'an let out a sigh.

"Xici, wait a mont. I'll go get the bricks now." Tang You'an closed the door and turned to reassure her.

"I'll go with you." Though dejected, Song Xici still grabbed her jacket from the foot of the bed and put it on.

Unable to stop her, Tang You'an had no choice but to let her co along.

Then, the two of them opened the door.

"Sister You'an, Sister Xici, do you need our help?" Ning Yu asked, shivering and exhaling a puff of white breath.

"It's fine, just two legs broke. We'll get so bricks to prop it up." Tang You'an didn't think it was a particularly difficult task.

"Yes, it's alright. Go back to sleep, we can handle it ourselves." Song Xici was surprised, then smiled.

"Let's go together." Xia Jing said.

After hearing this, Tang You'an and Song Xici were stunned again, then nodded slightly.

To be honest, she really hadn't expected Ning Yu and Xia Jing to be so thoughtful. After all, though Ning Yu hadn't been in the entertainnt industry long, she was already a popular young actress with quite high popularity, at least higher than her own now. And Xia Jing was originally a model, a high-end international one at that, so it was rare for her to be so friendly.

Song Xici had seen many people who started looking down on seniors once their own popularity rose, but rarely saw those who were still so kind to washed-up seniors they barely knew even after skyrocketing to fa.

So, under the dim courtyard lights, the group walked together towards the sheep pen.

"Teacher Tang, I watched you on 'Literati Gathering.' It was really..." Ning Yu extended her thumb, replacing the words she was about to say.

"You watched it?" Tang You'an was a bit surprised.

"Yes, because I've always liked Teacher Song a lot. Hehe, you know, love , love my dog..." Ning Yu scratched her head, looking at Song Xici.

"Really?" Song Xici found it hard to believe.

"Of course. Before, you know, with Weibo follows, she really wanted to follow you, but was afraid you wouldn't follow back if she did, which would be too awkward. She hesitated for ages until I finally took charge and pressed the follow button for her..." Xia Jing said with a smile. "I don't usually watch dramas, but she's always recomnding them to , saying things like 'Oh, Teacher Song has a new drama' or 'Have you seen Teacher Song's drama?' Basically forcing

into your fandom..."

"Good things should be shared, haha!" Ning Yu said, laughing. Xia Jing glared at her, then laughed too.

"Just now too, she kept wanting to talk to you but was too shy..." Xia Jing continued to expose Ning Yu.

"I'm so flattered. I never thought you'd still pay attention to

even though I've beco so irrelevant..." Song Xici was deeply moved.

"How are you irrelevant? You're not. You'll always be No. 1 in my heart!" Ning Yu said with a smile.

"Xici is really great. Although people often say her roles are essentially all the sa—even if their personalities differ, they're all fundantally good people—to be honest, being able to bring different flavors to similar roles is also a kind of skill." Tang You'an said, bending down to examine the bricks by the sheep pen.

"Yes, that's what I think too..." Ning Yu nodded.

Hearing this, Song Xici lowered her head and smiled, picking up a red brick: "Thank you, really. But I do want to try different roles. Like antisocial ones, or those who turn evil because of unrequited love and such. But directors who film those don't seem to like choosing ."

"Maybe because you look too baby-faced?" Xia Jing asked.

"Baby-faced?" Song Xici was confused.

"Well... not exactly baby-faced. It's just that you look much younger than your actual age. I'm the type who looked like I was in my twenties when I was eighteen." Xia Jing said.

"Ah... it's probably because of my aura. My aura is too weak, unlike you with your strong presence, especially when walking the runway." Song Xici said, then picked up another brick with her other hand, weighing them.

"Can I do a product placent here?" Tang You'an asked, looking at the caraman after stacking a pile of bricks.

"Go for it! If it's not allowed, they can delete it in post-production!" Xia Jing said cheerfully.

"Oh, then I'm going to do it..." Tang You'an cleared her throat, pulling Song Xici over to face the cara. "Hello, directors. Attention please, we have an excellent actress here who wants to play roles that involve murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds. If you have similar scripts, please give her a chance..."

"Why are you saying it so strangely..." Song Xici glanced at her, the corners of her lips turning up.

Afterwards, the group carried the bricks back to the house. They discarded the ones that were too large, kept the suitable ones, sawed off the legs, and with so people lifting the bed while others propped it up, they finally managed to sort out the situation.

Then, Tang You'an and Song Xici went to the kitchen to wash their hands before lying down again.

As they had been rushing around all day, both were quite tired, so despite how awful the place was, they quickly fell into dreamland.

The next day.

Tang You'an and Song Xici were awakened by the crowing of the rooster in the chicken coop and groggily ca to their senses.

"Xici, you sleep a bit longer. I'll go boil so water." Tang You'an said, stretching as she got up.

After sleeping on a soft bed for so long, suddenly sleeping on such a hard one made Tang You'an's whole body ache.

Song Xici blinked her dry eyes in the blanket, then rubbed them before finally forcing herself to sit up, her hair a ss like a bird's nest.

Yesterday, Song Xici had wanted to live in this place of green mountains and clear waters forever, but now she didn't want to at all. She only hoped to finish recording the show quickly and end this hellish life full of suffering.

"I'll go with you..." Song Xici put on her shoes and stood up, taking out a comb and walking to the wardrobe beside Tang You'an, casually brushing her hair.

"Ah... I need to use the bathroom..." Just after smoothing her hair, Song Xici suddenly frowned and clutched her stomach.

"I think the toilet is next to the chicken coop. Want

to go with you?" Tang You'an said.

"Okay." Song Xici put down the comb and followed Tang You'an out the door.

As soon as the door opened, another gust of cold wind blew in, causing both of them to shiver.

At the toilet door, Song Xici's face brightened a bit when she opened it. Though it was a squat toilet, it was better than the open pit she had imagined. Additionally, there was a water heater and shower installed on the side. Fortunately, there was more than one toilet. She suddenly felt the production team had so humanity after all.

"Do you want to put on makeup?" Tang You'an asked after they returned to the room and washed their faces.

"Too lazy to bother. I'll just be ugly. I'm even too lazy to do skincare." Song Xici yawned, rubbing her neck.

But after a mont, Song Xici paused as she stroked her neck, then stood up: "No, we haven't done our product placent yet. I should at least do so skincare."

So Song Xici rummaged through her bag for the skincare products the production team had stuffed in there, opened the packaging, and took out a lotion and serum.

"I suddenly rembered I have so too." Tang You'an said, taking out a face cream.

"Co one, co all, don't miss out, this face cream is really great to use." Tang You'an said as she unscrewed the cap, scooped out a dollop, sared it on her face, spread it out, and patted it in.

"So exaggerated. People might think you're selling roasted sweet potatoes." Song Xici glanced at her, then elegantly squeezed out so serum, applied it to her face, and said as she spread it, "This seems pretty good, not inferior to the brand I usually use. I feel like my skin instantly drank up the moisture..."

Holding the serum bottle next to her cheek, Song Xici flashed a professional smile: "Don't rush to fix dry skin, use Q Dream skincare serum, you deserve it."

After finishing their product placents, the two went out together and entered the main hall.

Fortunately, breakfast was provided daily by the show's sponsor, consisting of "Xinli Breakfast Porridge" and "Duo Chi Hao" bread and cakes.

There was a long table in the main hall, so the ten of them sat down around it.

Since they had already t and eaten together last night, Tang You'an now had so understanding of everyone present. Ning Yu and Xia Jing didn't need ntioning—one was an excellent new-generation actress, the other an international supermodel planning to develop her career back in China.

Wang Chengxu and Liu Nan were two young n, both newly debuted singers in the music industry. They were quite young, around 22 years old, and their style of dress seed rather unkempt to Tang You'an. She had heard they were quite handso—yes, heard, because she couldn't see the appeal herself. Moreover, these two had very low laughing thresholds, constantly giggling like dogs.

There were two more couples. One was Jin Yawen and her husband Ma Qing, top figures in the entertainnt industry. Given Jin Yawen's status, having won many awards and with a large, devoted fanbase, plus being the oldest at 38, everyone was quite respectful towards her. Though Tang You'an hadn't watched her works yet.

The remaining couple was Feng Xiaoxiao and her boyfriend Gu Xueke, who had been constantly urged by everyone to get together. Feng Xiaoxiao was only 19, Gu Xueke 20, both having just debuted and t while filming their breakout movie. Their on-screen couple image was deeply ingrained in people's minds, and their company was constantly hyping up their relationship.

Three months ago, the two announced they were actually together, moving fans to tears. Everyone was urging them to get married quickly.

During breakfast, the task cards arrived.

Jin Yawen wiped her mouth with a napkin, then took the card and read: "Dear guests, hello. Your next tasks are: 1. Stuff sausages, then smoke them. If you can complete this task before 6 PM, the sausages will be yours. Otherwise, they will be confiscated. 2. Chop firewood. If the wood piled by the east wall outside is not all chopped, it will be taken away, aning you won't have firewood to burn. 3. Herd sheep and successfully bring them back. If all tasks are completed, everyone will receive a 200 yuan reward. If even one task is not completed, you will not receive the reward."

"Let's divide up the work then. Brother Ma, Xueke, want to chop wood with

and Liu Nan?" Wang Chengxu said after swallowing his bread. "The rest of you can arrange yourselves."

"Chopping wood? That's so tiring... Baby, be careful with your hands." Feng Xiaoxiao said, pulling Gu Xueke's hand and rubbing it in her palm with a pout.

"It's just chopping wood, no big deal." Wang Chengxu glanced at her.

"I agree." Ma Qing nodded, hands pressed on his legs.

"Then we..." Jin Yawen turned to Tang You'an and the others.

"How about this, Sister Yawen, you herd the sheep. I heard your shoulder was injured while filming and hasn't fully healed..." Tang You'an looked at her. "Herding sheep just requires watching from the side, it won't be too tiring. I'll teach you how to drive them out later..."

"Then what should I do? I want to herd sheep too..." Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around as she looked at everyone. "Stuffing sausages ans putting at into intestines, right? That sounds so gross..."

"Then you go herd sheep with Sister Yawen. Little Yu, You'an, Xici, and I will handle the sausages." Xia Jing glanced at her.

"Alright, then we'll take care of the sausages." Song Xici clapped her hands. "Let's get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can call it a day. Let's go for that 200 yuan!"

"Okay!"

Having reached an agreent, everyone stood up to begin their tasks.

The n took their axes and walked to the edge of the courtyard. Looking at the round logs, they frowned, coughed, and prepared to start chopping.

After placing a log on one of the short stools made from sawed tree stumps, Wang Chengxu gripped the axe, raised it up and down, then swung it down with all his might. The axe imdiately got stuck in the wood.

"Why is this so hard to do?" Wang Chengxu picked it up and frowned, examining it.

"I don't know..." Ma Qing didn't know how to chop wood either.

Tang You'an, who had been watching them for a while, walked over and extended her hand to Wang Chengxu: "Little brother, let

demonstrate for you."

"You're going to demonstrate?" Wang Chengxu looked at her, a bit dumbfounded. She was a girl, after all.

"Mm." Tang You'an nodded.

After looking at Liu Nan, Gu Xueke, and Ma Qing, Wang Chengxu finally scratched his head and handed the axe to Tang You'an.

"You need to use force, but also skill." Tang You'an said after taking the axe. She placed the log back on the stool, spread her legs, tapped the axe lightly on the wood, then suddenly raised it and brought it down with a thwack. The log instantly split in two.

Then Tang You'an picked up another log, laid it horizontally across the round stump, and said: "Actually, many people don't know there's an easier way. Chopping like this, the wood is less likely to fall and you're less likely to hurt yourself."

After saying this, Tang You'an chopped again, then handed the axe back to Wang Chengxu, patting his shoulder: "Little brother, good luck."

Watching Tang You'an walk gracefully towards the sheep pen, Wang Chengxu couldn't help but gape: "How is she so skilled? Sister is a wolf in sheep's clothing."

anwhile, Song Xici, Ning Yu, and Xia Jing nearly fainted when they received a pile of raw at, but they still carried it to the kitchen and got to work.

Ning Yu and Xia Jing were responsible for cleaning the intestines, while Song Xici washed the large pile of at, cut it into countless small pieces, then minced it. Everyone worked diligently.

Whenever soone complained of tiredness, Song Xici would raise her cleaver and shout: "Two hundred yuan! Don't give up! Two hundred yuan! Keep going! Two hundred yuan! Charge!"

Even though her own hands were nearly numb from all the chopping.

Ning Yu and Xia Jing would join in the chanting.

As a result, the n in the courtyard couldn't help but laugh every ti they chopped so wood, then chant along with them.

Tang You'an returned and stood in the doorway, arms crossed, watching Song Xici for a while, unable to hold back her smile.

Finally, all the intestines were thoroughly cleaned, the at was chopped and seasoned with various spices for marinating. The group put everything into a large basin and sat around it to start stuffing the sausages.

"How do we do this? It's so slippery... It's really hard to stuff the at into this hole..."

"Damn... I can't stuff it in..."

However, despite all the preparation work, new problems arose.

Tang You'an tugged at the intestines for a mont, then looked up: "You guys keep trying. I'll go get sothing."

After saying this, Tang You'an got up to wash her hands, then ran back to her room, grabbed the small saw from last night, and ran up the mountain behind them.

She chose a bamboo of suitable thickness, sawed it down, and finally cut several two-inch long bamboo tubes before quickly running back to the kitchen.

The caraman following her back and forth was nearly dizzy. Goodness, her agility and nimbleness were like Sun Wukong's. She must have grown up climbing mountains and trees.

"Here, follow . Thread the intestine through the bamboo tube, then spread it over the outside of the tube. This way, the opening is bigger and you can stuff the at in easily." Tang You'an said, sitting down to demonstrate after washing the bamboo tubes.

"Amazing! Sister You'an, you're so smart!" Ning Yu tried the thod and found the efficiency instantly improved by leaps and bounds. She couldn't help but admire Tang You'an.

Song Xici watched Tang You'an from the side, also smiling. Her little brain worked so fast, it really made her proud.

Since there was a lot of work and no one was providing lunch, Tang You'an decided they would eat the breakfast provided by the production team for lunch. Her reasoning was that even if there wasn't enough for breakfast later, it wouldn't matter. After all, once they had more things and money, why worry about not being able to make breakfast?

So, after delivering food to Jin Yawen and Feng Xiaoxiao and eating herself, Tang You'an and the others continued working.

By around 2 PM, all the sausages were finally stuffed. After checking the ti, the four girls hurriedly began the sausage smoking process.

Tang You'an told them how to do it, then quickly ran out to chop cypress branches.

The n in the courtyard were already dumbfounded. Today's Tang You'an, in their eyes, was like a skilled martial arts expert who could do anything, showing no signs of being a pampered rich daughter. They swore that the ssy news about Tang You'an they had read before was the most nonsensical they had ever seen! After exchanging glances, the n who had finished chopping wood joined in cutting cypress branches and smoking sausages.

Smoking sausages was also quite a challenging task. There were many thods, but in the end, they chose to use a pot for smoking. However, when they actually started smoking, the thick smoke billowed out, nearly suffocating everyone. They all ran outside, coughing non-stop.

Nevertheless, under Song Xici's rallying cry of "Two hundred yuan!
