The first season of China's Voice had a total of 14 episodes, with a grand concert to be held in Hangzhou at the end, making it 15 episodes in total.
By the time Lu Chen left Hangzhou to return to his hometown, all 14 episodes of the show had already been recorded.
This was also the usual practice for domestic talent shows. What the audience saw on television was not a live broadcast, but content that had been meticulously edited to achieve the best effect.
In addition, there were also the judges and mentors. It was impossible for them to stay in the same place for two to three months, or to travel back and forth once a week for the recording.
After recording 14 episodes, Liao Jia returned to Beijing. He would film two commercials in Beijing and make a cameo appearance in a movie before flying to Australia for a vacation. He would return to Hangzhou in late August to participate in The Voice of China's concert.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er stayed in Hangzhou for two more days. After Lu Xue's summer break ended, the three of them went to Binhai together.
However, they brought another guest with them.
That was Shi Fang.
After spending more than a month together, Shi Fang and Chen Fei 'er became very good friends, and did not treat Lu Chen as an outsider.
Although in terms of status in the circle, Shi Fang's seniority is higher than Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, but she interacts with the two of them on the same generation and calls them sisters and brother.
Originally, after recording China's Voice, Shi Fang was going back to Xiangjiang. However, when she heard that Lu Chen was going back to his hometown, she was interested to see the scenery of Binhai and pay a visit to Lu Chen's mother.
How could Lu Chen not welcome her? The three of them became four, and a Mercedes-Benz was just right.
Lu Xue was overjoyed. She was Shi Fang's fan, so she took the opportunity to get intimate with her idol. She took more than ten photos with her phone.
Hangzhou was not far from Binhai, and it only took two hours on the highway. The group set off at 2pm, and arrived at Binhai City around 4pm.
Shi Fang curiously looked at the street view of Huhai through the window and said in surprise, "Your hometown is very prosperous."
Although Binhai was a county-level city, because it was located on the southeast coast, and there were many businessmen and factories in Binhai, the local economy was very prosperous, and the urban construction was changing with each passing day. Although it could not be compared with a provincial capital city like Hangzhou, there were also tall buildings on both sides of the main road, which was very imposing.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's not bad. It's been developing quite fast in the past few years. A lot of tall buildings have been built."
Shi Fang sighed and said, "When I was in Xiangjiang, I often heard people say that except for Beijing, Shanghai and Shenhua, the other places in the mainland are very backward. Only after coming to the mainland this time did I know what is called seeing is believing."
Shi Fang was a native of Xiangjiang. Her ancestors could be traced back to the immigrants who moved to Xiangjiang from Hunan and Hubei at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The number of times she came to the mainland could be counted on one hand. In the past, she had only been to the capital and Huacheng. She had never been to the small cities below.
For a long time, Xiangjiang's economy was more developed than the mainland. Many people in Xiangjiang, including the Xiangjiang media, always had a sense of superiority and regarded the mainland as a poor and backward area. Even if the mainland's economy was developing rapidly in recent years, the media rarely reported it.
Therefore, many people in Xiangjiang who had never been to the mainland read some biased newspaper news and thought that the mainland was only developed in places like Beijing and Shanghai, and other places were still poor.
Even Shi Fang was misled.
The Mercedes-Benz drove through the main road, turned into another road, and soon arrived at Jingsheng District.
In the Lu family's villa, Fang Yun had been waiting for a long time.
Yesterday, Lu Chen had talked to her mother on the phone. Fang Yun already knew that Chen Fei 'er and Shi Fang would come together. When she saw her son, daughter and future daughter-in-law getting out of the car, she couldn't help but show a happy smile on her face.
"Mom!"
Lu Xue ran up like a happy little rabbit, opened her arms and hugged Fang Yun: "We're back!"
"You child …"
Fang Yun patted her affectionately: "You're a college student, but you still don't know how to behave!"
There were guests here! Lu Xue stuck out her tongue and quickly let go of Fang Yun.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er went forward together. Chen Fei' er was already very familiar with Fang Yun: "Auntie …"
Then she solemnly introduced Shi Fang as a guest.
Shi Fang said very politely: "Mrs. Lu, I'm Shi Fang. Sorry to bother you."
Fang Yun held her hand with a smile and said: "Welcome, Miss Shi is really a distinguished guest. I can't wait to welcome you. You can treat this as your own home. Don't be polite!"
Shi Fang said with a smile: "Thank you …"
Lu Chen and others would stay in Binhai for three days. During these three days, Shi Fang lived in the Lu family's villa and left her assistant in Hangzhou. She came here as a friend.
After a pause, she sincerely praised: "Mrs. Lu, you are young and beautiful. I have to ask you for the secret of skin care."
Fang Yun was a famous beauty when she was young. Otherwise, she would not have given birth to such a "good breed" like the three siblings of the Lu family. She was born with good skin and did not look old in her forties.
However, in the few years after Lu Qingsheng's death, in order to pay off the debts of the family, Fang Yun lived very hard and became a lot haggard day and night. But in the past two years, her complexion not only recovered to its original appearance, but also became even better.
When she stood together with Chen Fei 'er, people would believe that she was a sister. No wonder Shi Fang was surprised.
Fang Yun smiled: "Miss Shi is really young and beautiful. Let's go inside and talk."
In the evening, Fang Yun cooked in person and used all her strength to make a table of delicious food for the guests who came from afar, which made Shi Fang eat full of praise.
People like her, who usually paid great attention to diet, ate until they were 80 or 90% full.
The dinner was joyous and harmonious.
After dinner, Chen Fei 'er and Lu Xue scrambled to wash the dishes. In the end, Lu Xue won. Chen Fei' er had to take Shi Fang to have tea and chat with her.
Lu Chen also had something to say to his mother: "Mom, I bought a big house in Hangzhou. Now Lu Xue is also studying in Hangzhou. Why don't you also move to Hangzhou, so that you won't be lonely here?"
Fang Yun shook her head with a smile and said: "I haven't retired yet. Why should I go to Hangzhou? Besides, although you are not here, I am not lonely. I have no relatives or friends in Hangzhou! "
"Don't worry about me. I am very good now. If you really care about your mother, then marry Fei 'er as soon as possible and have a child for me to take care of, so that I won't be lonely."
What his mother said was so reasonable that Lu Chen was speechless.
In fact, no matter how successful he was outside and how much money he made, the most nostalgic thing in his heart was still the days when his family was together and lived happily together.
