"At first I thought I should be able to come back soon. No matter what happens, I can always go home and visit. Then I just wait, waiting for him to open the door and surprise me one day. Later, I got used to it."
You can hear the helplessness in his words.
"I used to leave home to study in college. My parents were constantly on the phone for four years. They would hold me up when I came home and feed me good food and drink every day. I still felt annoyed at that time.
But now that I am married, have a family, and have people to worry about, I understand how they feel."
The interview didn't last long, but it was very inspiring.
"Oppa, will you leave me for so long?" Yoona raised her head and asked.
"Hahaha, this should be what I'm worried about. If you go abroad to film a TV series or movie, you might be able to do it within half a year."
"Well...then you can come and see me!"
Many of the people who passed by the barrage were probably college students or young people working outside, saying things like "pause for a while and call home."
"Then do you want to go over and see him?"
"I thought about it, but I couldn't go because there is no car to the mountains."
Maki sighed.
"Then say a few words to the camera and sir!"
The client nodded, straightened his somewhat messy hair, and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"I know you are running around for this family, and I know you are tired, but I really miss you, especially when I see our photos.
You always make me understand that this is a big deal, and as a front-line engineer, you must be responsible, not only for yourself, but also for the country.
Yes! I can understand!
However, understanding does not mean acceptance. Like other couples, I also want to hold hands and go shopping, watch movies, cook together, and watch TV together.
You know, the last time my dad was sick, I stayed in the hospital alone for five days. The nurses asked me if the rest of the family wouldn't come and change me. If this continues, I will get sick.
I can only smile, they are busy and don’t have time... It’s okay to be alone..."
Zhang Bichen could no longer hold back her tears and held the other person's hand to comfort her.
"Tears!"
"Salute to the railroad workers."
"Hey, my dad also works on the high-speed rail. Basically, we can only see him once a year. I miss him."
"Isn't it a variety show? I'm a grown man with a sore nose. How can I meet people?"
Su Yan still had the foresight to pull out two pieces of paper and hand them to Yoona.
Although she was extremely dissatisfied with her husband, she still tried her best when it came to making meals and called her mother over to help.
Finally, there was a sentence written on each lunch box on a small piece of paper.
"Be safe today too!"
"Remember to miss me!"
"Remember to eat on time."
In the end, the camera showed her standing at the door waving goodbye.
Subtitles show: One week later.
Zhang Bichen and Mu Mu greeted each other on the plane.
"Everyone, we are heading to Russia now. The flight time is about eight hours. However, it will take another six hours by bus to arrive. See you soon!"
"Why don't the show crew bring my wife along?"
"Yeah? It's just multiple locations."
"Maybe she has to go to work."
“Bad review from the production team!”
"I came here specifically to see a few of them get slapped in the face!"
Yoona was originally curious, so since she had this opportunity, she should go along with it.
Su Yan saw her little face full of doubts: "I only participated in one of the filming, and I don't know much about the others."
Although the camera screen is always fast forwarding, you can still see how hard the journey is. The buses are almost always wandering around the mountains, and it is rare to see B&Bs nearby.
When we got on the bus, the sun was still shining high in the sky, but when we arrived, it was already setting.
I originally thought that the construction site would be very desolate, but when I got off the car, I realized that it looked like a small village, except that the housing was the kind of simple houses that are common on construction sites. It might be after get off work hours, and people were coming and going, so it was quite lively.
Everyone was so surprised when they saw the two celebrities getting out of the car. They couldn't believe that they could meet them in the deep mountains and forests abroad.
When I heard that it was the crew of "Infinite Challenge", I even let out huge cheers, just like at a fan meeting.
"Hahaha, these people are so cute."
"The middle-aged man wearing glasses could probably stuff a goose egg in his mouth when he saw Zhang Bichen."
"Looks like a leader, haha, the image is gone."
"Oh, have you noticed, they are all so dark."
"There was a young man who threw away his rice bowl and rushed over."
After a wave of fan service, Maki explained his purpose.
"Who knows where Gu Du is now?"
"Oh, Gu Gong, I just came back when I saw him. He must be taking a shower. I will take you there."
A young man led the two of them into a small second-floor building and knocked on the door.
"Gu Gong, Gu Gong, the TV station is here to find you."
As soon as the door opened, Maki and Mu looked at each other and smiled. Yes, it was him. Although he was thinner than the one in the photo, it was still easy to recognize him.
"Hello Gu Gong, we are from the "Infinite Challenge" program team of Minjiang Satellite TV." Zhang Bichen first introduced the purpose of our visit.
Following the door was a large box.
"We have received a commission to deliver this express to you." After several people sat down, Maki pointed to the box on the ground: "Can you guess who gave it to you?"
"Haha, this uncle is so cute, I don't even know where to put my hands."
"My hair is too long. Is there no place to cut it here?"
"I'm teacher Tony, have you organized a group to offer free services?"
"I don't think he is actually quite handsome, Gu Gong, the Forbidden City!"
"You should be able to imagine that it was sent by my wife!"
Just as the fans guessed, Gu Du touched his head.
"She must be my wife!"
"Well, that's right. We went to your home before departure and got to know some things. You haven't eaten yet, right?
She and your mother-in-law made these together, try it?"
Mu Mu first took out a large thermal box: "Look, there is a note on it.
"This is a native chicken raised by my mother. Please drink more soup!"
Gu Du looked at the note and said nothing.
Zhang Bichen rolled up his sleeves: "Gu Gong, where is the pot!"
After asking twice, he finally responded.
"I'll do it, it's a bit messy."
"It's okay. I promised your wife that I will help, and it's not difficult to just heat it up. The bowl...here is the rice, ok!"
"Young lady is so virtuous, I want to marry you!"
"She looks very skilled. She must have done housework often."
"Hey, you guys are looking after the work, just stare at the note."
"Hey, it would be great if my sister-in-law came in suddenly at this time and gave me a surprise."
"Wow! I just imagined it and it brought tears to my eyes."
There were too many things to bring, so some of them were stored in the refrigerator in the cafeteria. Zhang Bichen warmed up a few things and put them on the table.
"You guys should sit down and eat together!" Gu Gong found that everyone was looking at him and felt a little embarrassed.
"No, you eat, try the dumplings first. Madam made them by herself. They are your favorite stuffed with pork and celery. Try them and see if they taste the same as before."
He nodded, his movements became slow, as if he was a little pious, and his hand holding the chopsticks was very steady, for fear of breaking the dumpling wrapper.
"Sister-in-law said you don't like vinegar. There are chili peppers from my hometown on the side. You can try it."
He nodded silently, carefully dipped some chili pepper into his mouth, and chewed slowly, as if he was not eating dumplings, but some precious ingredients.
"Does it still smell the same as before?"
Gu Du nodded: "She remembers it very clearly. I like more celery, a little fatter meat, and some chives mixed in."
After I finished speaking, I seemed to be a changed person.
There are about thirty dumplings on a plate, one for each bite, so you can eat them quickly.
Zhang Bichen gave him a bowl of chicken soup: "Slow down, don't choke."
Without raising his head, he gulped down the bowl of soup and then continued.
Everyone fell into silence, and it was obvious that he was expressing his inner apology in this way.
"Why am I feeling sad for no reason."
"It's really sad to see him eating."
"I guess it's guilt."
"Hey, it's not easy. You just get married and start working."
Mu Mu looked at it and said, "Here is a video recorded by your wife. You should take a look first."
After saying that, he put the pad in front of him.
His wife's voice came out, and Gu Du watched and listened carefully.
His expression changed repeatedly with his wife's words.
At first he was looking at it happily, but then his smile disappeared and became serious. When he finally heard "I'm waiting for you to come back at home!", he had already covered his face with his hands.
After being quiet for a while, he raised his head and watched the 5-minute video again.
"Can you pass this on to me?"
Maki nodded: "Is there anything you want to say to your wife?"
"I'm sorry! I love you."
"The sound is a little quieter, can you please make it a little louder?"
"I'm sorry! I love you!" He shouted heartbreakingly.
"I love you too..."
A voice sounded from behind the cameraman.
Gu Du stood up suddenly and saw that his wife had burst into tears and was standing there looking at him.
He wiped his eyes hard so that he could see more clearly, fearing that this was just his imagination.
"Jia, is that you?" he asked cautiously.
Zhang Shijia nodded vigorously.
"I'm not dreaming."
"You can tell if it's true or not if you go over and give him a hug." Mu Mu pushed him.
The two people hugged each other tightly.
"I don't want to watch it. Why do I keep crying?"
"My mother asked me what drama I was watching. She was crying so hard that she didn't dare to tell me that I was watching a variety show."
"My wife told me that if she dares to leave me for so long, she will get divorced."
"I'm so touched that I called this couple."
"Wutiao is really awesome, I'm convinced."
Su Yan felt that the tissues on his hand were not enough: "Why don't we just stop reading."
Seeing Lin Xiaoyun crying so hard, he couldn't bear it.
Yoona shook her head: "No, their love is so touching. Who found this BGM? It really enhances the atmosphere. I just wanted to cry a little bit, but when I heard the music, I couldn't help it."
"Chen Jianshu, it's him, it's him!"
