She didn't want Tang Xue to come back and not even have time to rest before rushing off to cook.
She's injured now and can't help Tang Xue much, and Tang Xue is the only one who can cook right now.
Fortunately, when Tang Xue suggested cooking, the others stopped her, and in the end, they decided to cut a watermelon to fill their stomachs first.
Everyone was quite tired, and they weren't shameless enough to watch Tang Xue busy herself in the kitchen while they sat here resting.
The task of cutting the watermelon in the kitchen ultimately fell to Shenyang, since he was the most enthusiastic one when it came to cutting watermelons.
"Do you think the production team came up with this prank because they saw how many fish we caught before?"
After eating several slices of watermelon, Shenyang no longer felt hungry. To be honest, Shenyang was not satisfied with their harvest today.
If he had known in advance that he would only be able to get such a small amount of ingredients today, he would have been better off just going fishing like before and trading with the production team for ingredients.
Although fishing can be a bit boring, it's still better than working hard for so long only to get such a small reward in the end.
Lin Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth but didn't reply. The production team wouldn't let them get the ingredients so easily, and everyone present knew that.
Lin Xiaoxiao is now wondering what kind of trouble the production team will cause tomorrow. She is injured now, so there are many things that are inconvenient for her to do. For example, today, Tang Xue actually completed many tasks by herself.
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless, but she didn't have a better solution. She couldn't very well ask Tang Xue to withdraw from the filming now.
Although she could afford the penalty for breach of contract, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that such behavior was somewhat irresponsible, after all, she had clearly stated that she would not withdraw when she was injured before.
It makes no sense that they suddenly say they don't want to participate in filming anymore.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that Lin Xiaoxiao was a little down, Tang Xue tilted her head and asked softly.
"It's nothing," Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. "I was just thinking about what kind of challenge the production team will give us tomorrow." After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaoxiao still said it aloud.
Tang Xue glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, a look of understanding and worry flashing in her eyes. "Don't worry too much, things will always be resolved."
"Mm." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded gently. Although she didn't want Tang Xue to be so tired, there was nothing she could do about it. Now she could only hope that the production team would take it easy.
After resting for a while, Tang Xue stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook, but before anyone else could speak...
They heard voices coming from the courtyard, and a moment later, they saw a woman pushing a suitcase walk in.
The woman looked to be around thirty-five years old, dressed in a pure white tracksuit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses; she appeared very quiet and reserved.
Although her face didn't show any extra expression, she gave off a very gentle aura. If she had to describe it, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that this woman was like a lady from a noble family who had stepped out of an ancient painting.
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't referring to the other person's appearance, but rather to her temperament. Of course, this wasn't to say that the other person wasn't pretty, but rather that what was more attractive than her appearance was her gentle and quiet temperament.
After Chen Mo left, they had guessed that the production team would find a guest to fill the void left by Chen Mo, but what they didn't expect was that the production team would act so quickly.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't recognize the woman, so she wasn't surprised, but the guests who did were a little flustered.
Lin Xin, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, was filled with surprise the moment she saw this woman appear.
For Lin Xin, there are very few things that can make her lose control of her facial expressions. Even if something surprises her, she can control her facial expressions in an instant.
But when she saw this woman, the surprise on her face lingered for a long time. From this, it was clear that the woman who appeared here was someone no one expected to appear.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw the surprise on Lin Xin's face, and she also saw the surprise on Tang Xue's face.
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, suddenly becoming curious. Knowing Tang Xue as she did, she was well aware of how powerful Tang Xue's facial management was.
Not to mention an award-winning actress like Lin Xin, but the two of them couldn't help but show their surprise the moment they saw this woman appear.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally knew that at this time, there was no way to ask Tang Xue who this woman was, so in the end, she focused her attention on the system.
"099, do you know who this woman is? Why are Xiaoxue and Lin Yinghou so surprised?"
"She's a very capable person, Host. Did you even read the script properly?" 099 couldn't resist the urge to complain. "She's a very important character."
"..." Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little guilty. To be honest, she hadn't really looked at the script carefully because her attention was entirely on the male and female leads, and she hadn't paid much attention to the others.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao remained silent, 099 sighed and explained the woman she was curious about to Lin Xiaoxiao.
After 099's explanation, Lin Xiaoxiao finally understood why Tang Xue and Lin Xin were so surprised.
After learning about this woman's story, she was also very surprised and couldn't understand why such a person would participate in such a variety show.
Since the other person is neither a celebrity nor someone who wants to become a celebrity, participating in such a program is completely meaningless to her.
Because this person doesn't need to be exposed at all. It can't be that the other person just wants to experience life here, right?
Wow, this rural lifestyle is really something! They even managed to get this amazing person involved. That's incredible!
I was absolutely stunned. When "Country Life" invited actress Lin Ying-chung, I thought that was the highlight of the show. I never expected to see such a pleasant surprise.
[Why would this celebrity participate in a variety show? There's never been a precedent for this before. She rarely even accepts interviews, let alone variety shows.]
[This idyllic rural lifestyle is definitely going to be a hit!]
Rural life has become a hot topic; it's a frequent feature on trending searches.
It's no wonder the audience was so surprised. This was the first time this celebrity had participated in a show, and viewers were wondering what methods the show's producers had used to get him to participate.
The production team, which had earned the respect of the audience, also felt that this guest's arrival was somewhat unreal.
This guest wasn't invited by their production team at all; rather, the guest contacted their production team on their own initiative, saying they wanted to participate in their program.
Upon hearing the news, the production team wondered if they were hallucinating. After finalizing the details with the other party, they waited with a mix of anxiety and uncertainty.
To be honest, even the rural lifestyle team didn't know why this expert would take the initiative to contact them, but that's no longer important. What's important is that this expert has arrived.
He could already foresee that their idyllic rural life would once again become a trending topic. In the past, the director would have been extremely excited.
But now, the director is able to take a more relaxed approach to trending topics. After all, their production team has been a regular on trending topics since the start of this episode.

Chapter 120
===================
"Hello." Li Siyao had no idea how incredible it was to the others that she was in this place.
She placed her suitcase beside her, smiled slightly, and greeted the group with a gentle expression.
"Hello," the group said, instinctively using honorifics.
Li Siyao was taken aback, probably surprised by their attitude. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "Have you had dinner yet?"
It's about time for dinner now, and she considers herself a pretty good cook.
If others have already eaten, she will make a simple meal for herself; if not, she will make more, which is also a way for her to get to know the others.
"We're about to get started, senior, why don't you go to your room and tidy up first?"
Tang Xue spoke. After her initial disbelief, her attitude had returned to normal, though a faint surprise still lingered in her eyes.
"Let me help." Li Siyao pushed her suitcase aside and prepared to follow Tang Xue into the kitchen.
"No need, senior, I can manage on my own," Tang Xue said. There's no reason for someone to be asked to help in the kitchen as soon as they arrive.
Li Siyao smiled and said, "I'm older than you, you can call me Sister Li. We'll be filming together later, so you don't need to be so polite to me."
Her voice was soft and gentle, making you feel as if you were soaking in warm water, which was very comfortable.
"Sister Li." Since the other party had already said that, Tang Xue wasn't one to be coy, so she went along with it and called her that.
"You can just call me Siyao." Li Siyao said this to Shen Xingyu and Lin Xin, who were indeed the two older people among them.
"I'll go help too." Lin Xin stood up. Although she was initially surprised and didn't quite understand why the other party would participate in such a variety show.
After all, she had never participated in any programs that would increase her exposure, but Lin Xin felt relieved when she thought that she herself would be considered by others as someone who wouldn't participate in this program.
Everyone has different hobbies. She only came here because she was interested in this show. Perhaps Li Siyao is here for the same reason.
The three quickly reached a consensus and went into the kitchen together, while the others looked at each other with strange expressions.
"Why do you think this expert would suddenly appear on this show?" Shenyang glanced towards the kitchen.
As if afraid that the people in the kitchen would hear her, she lowered her voice to a level that only the few of them could hear.
Although Shenyang was an ordinary person, he was not without common sense; he had heard of Li Siyao's name.
"I guess they want to experience life here." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xingyu finally uttered this sentence.
It's no wonder they were so surprised; Li Siyao is no unknown person.
Conversely, even people who don't follow celebrities will know a little bit about Li Siyao when they talk about her.
Although Li Siyao is not an artist, in most people's eyes, her fame is even greater than that of some A-list artists.
This Li Siyao is a screenwriter. To put it another way, Li Siyao's status in the screenwriting world is equivalent to Li Zhen's status in the directing world. Every one of her works is a classic among classics, and the director she has collaborated with the most is Li Zhen.
Li Siyao is the type of person who is strict with herself and even more so with her work.
In every project she undertakes, she demands that she have a voice and the right to choose, because in Li Siyao's view, this is the greatest respect for the work, and she wants to choose actors who fit the roles as well as possible.
Li Siyao was lucky because the person she collaborated with from the beginning was Li Zhen, and the two of them could be said to have made each other successful.
When Li Siyao collaborated with Li Zhen, Li Zhen was already quite famous in the industry. Like Li Siyao, Li Zhen was someone who placed great emphasis on his work and his actors.
So on this point, the two hit it off immediately. That work at the time made everyone famous, and it was that work that made the outside world aware of Li Siyao and what a brilliant screenwriter she was.
Since then, Li Siyao has collaborated with other directors. It was precisely because of her collaboration with Li Zhen that Li Siyao had more say in her collaborations with others.
As time went on, Li Siyao's terrifying nature was gradually revealed.
If being chosen by Li Zhen is a recognition of an actor's acting skills, then participating in Li Siyao's script is a harbinger of sudden fame.
No one would question this, especially when Li Zhen and Li Siyao collaborated, which was an opportunity that many popular artists would fight tooth and nail for.
However, Li Siyao is a very low-key person. She never participates in any social activities, and the few interviews she has given were all when she was blocked by reporters and had no way to leave.
It's no wonder everyone was so surprised when such a person suddenly appeared on the set of a variety show.
The guests were discussing why Li Siyao was on the variety show, and the viewers were also wondering about it.
Why would this social guru, who never participates in unnecessary social interactions, appear on this variety show?
