The men on the construction site tread on each other's long shadows as they pass by the village entrance, joking with a mix of coarse and refined humor, with mud splattered on their pant legs.
As dusk deepens, Chen Yuan and his group arrive at Xuanhe Village.
"Have we arrived?"
"Yes, this is Xuanhe Village."
Jiang Wenning takes out her phone, accompanied by the sound of clicking, she photographs the surroundings one by one.
Without needing to retouch the images, she sends them directly to the group chat, adding an emoji of a grinning cat.
Li Junyue replies with three thumbs up, leading Jiang Wenning to mutter, "Boring middle-aged man."
Chang Yuhuan: "Wow, this is so beautiful, the shots are stunning, with so much artistic vibe, you should be the photographer!"
Jiang Wenning's eyes curve with joy, feeling full of emotional value from Chang Yuhuan's words.
