After Returning, I Helped My Dad Chase Mom at the Parent-Child Variety Show

5-year-old Chi Nai returned to ten years ago. At that time, her CEO father Baiyi Chi had just taken over the Chi Group, and her actress mother Yuan Yao Qin was still a third-tier actress with a bad...

Chapter 32 The Man in the Mask

An older woman who hadn't bought any groceries squeezed to the front, wanting to see if Chi Cheese's mental arithmetic was really as amazing as everyone said.

"How much is half a pound of tomatoes and three and a half pounds of radishes?"

Chi Cheese stared at her, but didn't react.

Qin Yuanyao laughed: "Auntie, you need to buy vegetables. We're here to sell vegetables, not to perform."

The older woman clicked her tongue in displeasure: "Give me a little bit of everything."

"Okay!"

Following the aunt's instructions, Qin Yuanyao brought a little of each dish and weighed them.

"Four and a half catties of lettuce, two and three catties of cabbage, one and four catties of celery, three and eight catties of radish, and two and one catties of tomatoes."

The older woman stared expectantly at Chi Cheese: "Little one, how much is it in total?"

Chi Cheese: "Lettuce is two yuan a pound, so four and a half pounds is nine yuan; cabbage is eight mao a pound, so two and a half pounds is one yuan and eighty-four fen; celery is one yuan and three yuan a pound, so one and a half pounds is one yuan and eighty-two fen; radish is eight mao a pound, so three and a half pounds is three yuan and four fen; tomatoes are one yuan and six mao a pound, so two and a half pounds is three yuan and thirty-six fen. The total is nineteen yuan and six fen."

After Qin Yuanyao finished calculating on the calculator, she showed it to everyone: "It is indeed nineteen yuan and six fen. You can give me nineteen yuan."

The villagers watching gasped in astonishment once again.

The older woman stared at Chi Cheese with a look of wonder and surprise, muttering to herself, "Amazing, so amazing."

[Chi Cheese is amazing! Her mental arithmetic is incredible! Her IQ is definitely over 120!]

[Waaaa, even as a science graduate from a top-tier university, I don't have Cheese's mental arithmetic skills!]

[Hey, who can argue with that? Even I, a blogger who graduated from a top-tier university, don't have her abilities.]

Seeing the cheese made me realize once again that I'm just here to make up the numbers.

Me too, that's just the rarity of the world QAQ

No wonder Qin Yuanyao's vegetables sell so quickly. If I were there, I would also go to Chi Nao's house to buy vegetables and have her calculate the price for me in person, to be shocked up close.

[I just joined this live stream. How was Cheese's mental arithmetic ability discovered and utilized?]

[Regarding the question above, I can answer it. I've been in this live stream the whole time. It was actually quite by chance. At first, Qin Yuanyao and her friends weren't doing well selling vegetables. An old man came to buy some, and while Qin Yuanyao was still calculating the total price on her calculator, Cheese said it out loud. Then, Qin Yuanyao discovered that Cheese was really good at mental arithmetic. Then, the villagers discovered it too, and then, the villagers all came to buy vegetables and had Cheese do their mental arithmetic.]

Guo Zhuyan's family's vegetable stall was not far from Qin Yuanyao's family's.

Seeing so many villagers gathered around Qin Yuanyao's vegetable stall, clapping and cheering from time to time, Guo Zhuyan asked his son.

"Congcong, can you do mental arithmetic?"

Guo Yicong gave his father a cool glance: "Don't you know my grades?"

Guo Zhuyan sighed, acknowledging reality: "Sigh, I shouldn't have been daydreaming like that."

[Hahahaha, Congcong and Teacher Guo are hilarious!]

[What Congcong means is that he's a poor student, right? Congcong said it so confidently that for a moment I thought he could do mental arithmetic too.]

Seeing that Qin Yuanyao's vegetable stall was so lively and popular, and that they had almost sold out of vegetables, Xu Miaotong, Feng Wenhe, and Zhuo Ranjun's families, each with their own thoughts, quickly found a place to set up their own stalls and start selling vegetables.

As soon as she set up her stall, Xu Miaotong sweetly began to attract customers.

"Selling vegetables! Fresh, pesticide-free, homegrown vegetables! Auntie, look at my tomatoes, so juicy and red, they're good for your skin and health. Uncle, look at my radishes, they aid digestion, are nutritious, and boost your immunity..."

Xu Miaotong has a sweet smile and exudes a friendly and energetic vibe.

Gradually, villagers started patronizing her vegetable stall.

Xu Miaotong used her persuasive skills, which she usually had when selling products, to make many of the older women and men very happy.

[Sister Tong's amazing arms!!]

[Go, Tong Jie! Surpass that celebrity with a scandal!]

[The previous comments focused on your own idol, okay? Why insist on belittling other artists? Does your idol only seem superior if you don't criticize other artists?]

Who did we criticize? We didn't name names. It's just that fans of a certain celebrity with a scandal are eager to gain attention and jump on the bandwagon.

[Oh yeah, everyone's jumping on your bandwagon! They're riding the coattails of the huge commotion you caused last night!]

[Hahaha, you know what sarcastic or sarcastic remarks are!]

Xu Miaotong caught up quickly and sold her vegetables fast.

Qin Yuanyao's vegetables are almost sold out.

While mentally calculating the total price for the last customer, Chi Cheese suddenly noticed a masked man standing at the very back of the crowd.

It was a mask that resembled the shape of a fox, but it wasn't a fox.

The mask has two long, pointed white ears and long, narrow red eyes. The rest of the mask is white.

Chi's cheese got stuck and stared in disbelief.

She was stunned not because the mask was strange or rare, but because she had seen it before!

She saw it ten years later in the sudden fire that destroyed her family—the fire that claimed their lives!

At that moment, she was almost unconscious when she suddenly saw the mask flash past in front of her.

She remembered clearly that her family did not have such a mask.

Why would someone wearing such a mask appear in her home, in the fire that claimed the lives of her family?

"Cheese, what's wrong?" Qin Yuanyao asked softly when she saw that Chi Cheese looked stunned and didn't speak for a while.
