0713: You who shine in the parallel world

Chapter 261 "Happy Birthday, Brother Liang!!!"

It was already noon when we arrived at Mohe Station.

Several people were fully armed, wearing the cashmere knee pads given by Yu Yu, gloves, earmuffs and hats. After waiting for the train to arrive and stop at the station, they put on a thick down jacket before walking out of the warm carriage.

The oncoming chill of minus 30 degrees Celsius almost pushed Zhang Yuan back. He regretted it as soon as he got off the car. The snow scenery in Mohe was beautiful, but the temperature was really not something people with cold bodies could stay in.

After standing at the station for just a short while, everyone felt so cold that they rushed to the exit of the station as it was still warm inside.

The director team has arranged a bus to take them to their destination, the Arctic Village, which is also the northernmost village in China. It is separated from Russia by the Heilongjiang River. Of course, the Heilongjiang River must be frozen in this season, and if they slip while walking on the ice, they might slide to the Russian bear on the other side.

As for how the eight of them would live and play after arriving in the Arctic Village, Zhao Hao had already planned it for them.

He thought that they must not have made any travel plans in advance, and the production crew would definitely not feel comfortable just letting them out to fend for themselves in such a cold weather, so they arranged a two-day and one-night "tour group" for them, and each person only had to pay 300 yuan.

"No, I made a guide." After listening to Zhao Hao's explanation, Yu Yu sat on the bus, Chunliang raised his hand and looked at him.

Zhao Hao:?

"I can testify that Yu Yu really did it." Lu Hu also said.

"I even have the PPT he sent us at that time." Wang Yuexin took out her mobile phone and found the evidence on the spot.

I saw that in Yu Yu's travel guide, there was also a guide for Mohe Arctic Village, a "recommended tourist destination", which has everything from accommodation to food to travel and entertainment.

"So, tell us first what activities your tour group has. Maybe we can spend less money by making our own travel guide." Wang Zhengliang planned to look at the price comparison between the two. This is what people who are good at budgeting and living frugally do.

Zhao Hao was somewhat helpless about their caution: "It's definitely cheaper than going there on your own. The accommodations in Arctic Village are similar, all are homestays. The three hundred per person price includes food and lodging, horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice fishing, and we'll take you to the northernmost ski resort tomorrow. All the equipment you rent and the activities at the ski resort are included. You can figure out what the price is if you do the math yourself. We won't cheat you."

Several people quickly discussed and found that the production team did give a good price. Of course, they did not immediately agree. Su Xing thought about it and said, "300 yuan per person is indeed cheaper than if we go there by ourselves, but whether you will rip us off is another matter. Let me ask first, does this 300 yuan per person count as Lao Yao?"

"Everyone, of course he should be counted." Zhao Hao said as a matter of course.

"That's not right. How can Lao Yao be included in the list?" Su Xing felt that it was inappropriate.

Yao Zhen felt that Su Xing was scolding him but he had no evidence: "No, why can't it be counted on me? I am also a human being!"

"Lao Yao is a flying guest. How can the guest's expenses be counted in our group fee? Shouldn't the guest's expenses be borne by the program team?" Yu Yu also felt that the money should not be blamed on them.

Zhao Hao said confidently: "He is your guest, your flying guest, so of course you have to pay for his expenses."

After a second of "deep thought", Su Xing said solemnly: "Although I am happy to see Lao Yao coming, if his presence will increase our expenses, then we can do without this flying guest."

Wang Yuexin immediately raised her hand and shouted, "Hey, Master, please stop the car and let the flying guest get off and take the hard sleeper back."

"We weren't really looking forward to being the guest star, you guys forced it on us." Zhang Yuan grinned wickedly, preparing for the worst.

"Lao Yao is our brother. I believe he understands our difficulties and won't mind." Lu Hu said the heartbreaking words in a particularly kind and honest tone.

"After all, we only have 69 yuan in our hands now." Wang Zheng showed an embarrassed expression of being short of money.

Yao Zhen almost blushed at the constant teasing from these people. He quickly looked at Chen Kesheng beside him and tried to complain to his eldest brother: "Why are you guys like this? I came all the way here on my annual leave. Brother Sheng, look at them."

"Can I cancel my annual leave if I haven't used it all?" Chen Xiansheng added with a smile.

The laughter of others immediately filled the entire bus.

"You still want Tansheng to support you? Old Yao, what do you think? He is on our side." Su Xing laughed loudly.

The group bullied Lao Yao and he threw in the towel: "Then I don't care. I won't leave. I will just stay with you."

"Then you have to pay for your own tour expenses." Wang Yuexin said.

"I'll pay for it. I can still pay the three hundred dollars."

Zhao Hao refused coldly: "No, he can only spend money on the first day."

"What do you mean the first day? I just got here today." Yao Zhen just played dumb.

Lu Hu suggested deleting the materials before today so that they could pretend that he came to Mohe to meet up with them and today was his first day joining.

When Yao Zhen heard about deleting the materials, he definitely wouldn't agree. No one could touch his footage!

In the end, his tour fee had to be paid by the seven re-employed old northerners, a total of 2400 yuan, to be repaid in installments.

The bus drove over the snow-covered road and arrived in front of a youth hostel. After getting off the bus, Zhang Yuan saw the name of the youth hostel, which was actually "Unnamed Youth Hostel". He thought the name was interesting and couldn't help but read it again, but Chen Tansheng started to confuse him again.

"Wei Qiming Youth Hostel, the boss's surname is Wei."

Zhang Yuan almost didn't react after hearing this. He burst out laughing instantly and started to call him by his name again: "It's the unnamed one! Open your eyes and look at this sign, Mr. Chen. Who would name a hotel after themselves?"

"Yes, Hilton." Yu Yu answered seriously, as if he really thought Zhang Yuan wanted to know the answer.

"Who asked you?" Zhang Yuan said.

"But this is not the first or second time that Brother Sheng has made a hoarse comment. Please respect, understand and bless him." Yu Yu once again "sensibly" comforted Chen Tansheng.

"You're being naughty again, huh?" Chen Tansheng raised his foot as if to kick him, but Yu Yu immediately dodged nimbly with a smile.

The four horse-drawn carriages arranged by the director team were already waiting at the entrance of the youth hostel. The horses here looked stronger than those in other places, and their fur was thicker and more resistant to cold. After they checked in and had a few simple meals prepared by the youth hostel, they could set off to travel around the Arctic Village.

The good news is that the beds in the youth hostel are very warm, they are heated kangs, so you will definitely not be woken up by the cold when you sleep at night.

The bad news is that they have to sleep together on the big kang in the eight-person room again, and this time Lao Yao is brought along.

Wang Zhengliang only hopes that Yao Zhen can help him separate Wang Yuexin this time.

After putting away their luggage and finishing their simple meal of noodles, they went outside again and looked at the snow ring slide that the owner had made with snow in the yard. They had a lot of fun and slid several circles on the snow ring tires before going out and sitting on the horse-drawn sleigh.

A horse-drawn carriage led the way, with Yu Yu and Wang Yuexin, the two youngest brothers, following behind. Covered with a Northeastern style floral quilt, the four horse-drawn sleighs circled the Arctic Village and then continued north to the Heilongjiang River.

A thick layer of ice had formed on the Heilongjiang River, and Chen Xiansheng finally had the opportunity to experience the ice fishing he had longed for. However, he was just trying out the process instead of actually waiting for an entire afternoon. The fishing net had been put down before they arrived, and they only had to chisel open the ice, lift up the fishing net, and collect the fish they had caught. In the evening, they could return to the youth hostel for a delicious fish dinner.

After dinner, today’s shooting task was completed. Some of those who did not sleep well on the train went to bed to catch up on their sleep and got up when the time was almost up. The guys decided to go out to see the aurora tonight.

Of course, what is more important is that when the clock strikes midnight tonight, it will be Wang Zhengliang’s birthday on November 11th. Zhao Hao has already informed the other seven people in advance that they will prepare a birthday surprise outside, and when the time comes, they will ask them to invite Wang Zhengliang out in the name of going out to see the aurora.

In a place like the Arctic Village where there is thousands of miles of ice and snow, the surprise they prepared for Wang Zhengliang was to build a big cake out of snow, put some firework fairy wands on it, and put up some earthy pictures and a roll-up banner.

Wang Zhengliang's birthday live broadcast had not yet ended, but the time was almost up. Zhao Hao handed them a walkie-talkie and asked them to go out and wait for his news, and then light the fairy wand when Xiaoliang was about to come out.

When they heard Zhao Hao's notification, they immediately picked up their lighters. The temperature outside was too low and the lighter failed to light after several attempts. Fortunately, Zhao Hao's notification was just a feint and Wang Zhengliang did not come out immediately, otherwise, as soon as he went out, he would see the seven of them in a panic in the dark snow, and the whole section would have collapsed.

"Happy birthday, Brother Liang!!!" The moment he walked out of the door, Yu Yu and others immediately unscrewed the ribbon tube, and the cheers of several adults suddenly rang out in the originally quiet night.

After a moment of daze, Wang Zhengliang suddenly broke into a bright smile. He was indeed prepared to encounter a surprise prepared by his brothers and the program crew tonight, but he did not expect it to be in this form. It had nothing to do with the scale of the scene or the grandeur. When he saw seven people standing neatly in a row, everyone with a happy smile on their face, he couldn't control the pure joy in his heart.

So he didn't even wait to take a detour, but took the shortest route, stepped into the snowdrift, and rushed straight towards his brothers who opened their arms to him.

Yu Yu was shocked when he saw Wang Zhengliang fall into the snow. He rushed over and pulled Wang Zhengliang out, smiling and saying to him, "Brother Liang, even if you want to do something big when you are 45 and roll around in the snow, you should fall into the big cake, not the snow pile on the side of the road. Look, your shoes are gone. Can the production team help you get Brother Liang's cotton shoes out?"

"It's okay, I'm just too excited!"

Wang Zhengliang didn't feel the coldness on his feet at all. He just jumped on the snow while holding Yu Yu. Others immediately gathered around and hugged them and jumped together. Fortunately, there were almost no people in the Arctic Village at this season, otherwise, if they were jumping, singing and screaming outside in the middle of the night, they would definitely make the neighbors call the police on the spot.

Of course, this little surprise was just a gift prepared by the program team for him. After they returned to the room after the celebration, there was also a chocolate cake provided by Dove. As for the brothers' personal gifts, they also prepared them in advance and handed them to him privately, or sent them to his home on this day.

Yu Yu had always put a lot of thought into the gifts he prepared for others before, and this time was no exception. However, he did not tell anyone in the group except Wang Zhengliang what he was going to give in advance, which made them very curious about what Yu Yu would do this time.

"Brother Liang, let's not talk about our gifts. You must have received them. But what else did Yu Shao secretly prepare for you? He was so secretive that he didn't even tell us." While eating the birthday cake, Su Xing couldn't help teasing and asked Wang Zhengliang for information.

Wang Zhengliang shook his head honestly: "I don't know either. I haven't received any surprises yet. I'm also very curious. I've been looking forward to your little 'interests'. Xiaoyu, although you are a fish, you can't be thick-skinned (this) and thin-skinned (that)."

? The brothers took a deep breath.

Su Xing, who was somewhat annoyed, frowned and stepped back away from Wang Zhengliang: "Brother Xiaoliang is in great shape. The first bad joke appeared on his birthday just after midnight."

Yu Yu was more resistant to bad jokes than Su Xing. He could even point at Wang Zhengliang's phone as if nothing had happened and said, "Don't worry, it should be about time. Look, there's a phone call coming. Brother Liang, answer it first and then tell me whether my thorns are thick or not."

Wang Zhengliang looked down at the call notification on his phone in confusion. It was his wife's call.
