But that's impossible! I saw the villagers working hard, and I also saw the villagers watering the fields.

However, the submission didn't have much effect.

Shen Hua buried her doubts in her heart and returned to the directing team. She handed all the insects over to the director and negotiated with him.

The task was simply to catch fifty small insects, but they caught over a hundred. There should be some extra reward, like exchanging them for other seasonings or something.

Director Feng saw in the live broadcast that they had caught the eyes and the rabbit. When they returned, he even prepared to eat wild game when they came to exchange the items.

To his surprise, the two men did come, but instead of exchanging the wild game they caught for the production crew's supplies, they brought extra insects, which left him speechless.

"Logically speaking, although the number of insects you caught has exceeded the mission standard, yes, it is commendable. However, the extra insects cannot be used as exchange items, so do you need to exchange them for something else?"

Director Feng subconsciously gave them a hint, and then subtly guided them with his words, so that even if they didn't understand at first, they would understand after listening.

Shen Hua didn't know if Xie Sichen understood, but she already did. Even if she did understand, she pretended not to.

There's only so much wild game available, not even enough for ourselves, let alone for the two siblings. How could a production crew with such a large budget possibly not be able to afford food for themselves?

"Um, Director Feng, is it really impossible to replace even a little bit?" Shen Hua asked uncertainly.

Director Feng: "We can't change it."

While denying it, he kept staring at the wild game in Shen Hua's hand, his intentions quite obvious.

"Director Feng, if we can't exchange it, then we'll head back now. But we should keep our prizes; we'll eat at our accommodation when we get back!"

Director Feng: ...

"Go! Go!"

Director Feng has confirmed that they do not want to trade wild game for anything, so their attitude is very bad.

It's just wild game, right? Can't he afford it if he spends a little money? He really can't stand the thought of the two of them being together.

Having received their consent, Shen Hua and the others went to collect the steamed buns and mantou they wanted, and then returned to Wu Xiaotao's house.

At this moment, they were cooking dark porridge, just like last night, except that today's porridge was thinner.

"Big brother, little brother, you're back."

Upon seeing them, Wu Xiaowang seemed very happy. She ran over and asked them all sorts of questions, and also shared what she had done that morning.

He was still pulling Chen Hua to write the ten characters he had taught yesterday on the ground. Today he wrote very quickly, finishing in half a minute.

"Not bad, you learn very quickly. I'll teach you a few more words later, but for now, let's deal with these things first."

Shen Hua pointed to the wild game that had just been placed aside, as well as the food they had brought.

Wu Xiaowang was so happy to see them that he was eager to show off his writing speed to Shen Hua that he didn't pay attention to the food. Now that he looked at it, he was surprised to see so much food.

"Young man, did you catch all these wild animals?"

"Yes! I saw it when I went up the mountain today, so I arrested him."

"Young man, you're amazing! Wild animals are scarce here, and those that are are extremely fierce. No one can catch them. I never expected you to catch so many. These rabbits are so cute."

"That rabbit is so cute, do you want to eat it?"

Seeing how much he liked these rabbits, Shen Hua deliberately asked this question.

Wu Xiaowang was a little confused. He didn't know if rabbit was tasty. He had never eaten it before, but he had heard from others that it was delicious. So should he eat it or not?

"Young man, you caught these rabbits. You can eat them if you want, or keep them if you don't. How should I decide? You decide!"

Chen Hua: "You're quite clever. How about this? I'll raise these four little ones, and I'll trouble Xiao Wang to take care of them for me. As for the two big ones, I'll leave one for now, and we'll eat the other one later. What do you say?"

Hearing Shen Hua ask this, Wu Xiaowang shook his head without thinking and said, "The ones in front are okay, but the ones in the back are not. These were caught by the little brother, how can we eat them?"

"Xiao Wang is wrong about that. The older brother plans to cook the rabbit and pheasant at Xiao Wang's house. How can he not share them with Xiao Wang and Xiao Wang's sister?"

Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Then Xiao Wang and my sister will only eat a little bit, just a little bit."

That's so cute! Shen Hua couldn't help but pinch his cheeks.

That's what they say now, but whether Xie Sichen eats a tiny bit or a huge amount after he finishes cooking is not up to him.

Then Shen Hua revealed a mischievous smile.

To be honest, Shen Hua didn't really know how to handle chickens and rabbits. Did she pluck all the fur? And did she remove the internal organs? She didn't know.

Therefore, this matter can only be handled by Xie Sichen, while Shen Hua teaches Wu Xiaowang to recognize and write characters.

Today, the number of characters increased from ten to fifteen. If he remembers them quickly, I can teach him ten more tonight.

Shen Hua taught him very seriously, not only telling him the origin of these characters, but also giving him some little stories about these characters.

Because of the village's situation, he only taught characters that could be used here. As for some characters, he would decide whether to teach them based on how many characters the village could remember.

"Little brother, what should we write first for this 'uncle' character? And then what should we write next?"

Xiao Wang seemed to have some difficulty remembering this character, but he spent a lot of time on it because Chen Hua explained to him why the character was pronounced this way.

"Little brother, do you know? When I was very young, I actually had an uncle, but I lost contact with him later. I don't know where he went, but my sister told me that my uncle would come back."

"Everyone in the village says my uncle is dead and won't be coming back, but my sister tells me he will come back and that I shouldn't believe what they say. Do you think he will come back?"

Shen Hua: "You have to believe your sister. If she says she'll come back, then she will."

Xiao Wang was still quite sad when he talked about his uncle, but Chen Hua couldn't let him get lost in his memories; there were still five words he hadn't memorized.

"Come on, let's continue learning this character."

Chen Hua diverted his attention, and soon the place became harmonious, with one person teaching earnestly and the other learning earnestly.

However, this atmosphere stopped after a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen. Both of them looked towards the kitchen and swallowed hard at the same time.
