Chapter 48

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast died of laughter.

[Hahaha, by "make do" I mean it's almost unfinished.]

[This is hilarious, everyone! I just came out of Director Zhou's livestream, and her fans are all raging about that restaurant owner being inhuman and harsh on Director Zhou.]

[What's wrong? Why don't you tell me now? It's driving me crazy if you don't tell me.]

Director Zhou was supposed to be a waiter. We all thought he was serving food, but he ended up being a waitress. The restaurant owner asked him to smile for a customer for a photo, and he laughed all afternoon.

[No wonder I was wondering why Director Zhou suddenly grinned. It scared me to death. I thought Director Zhou was possessed.]

Taozi was also startled. Did you notice her strategic backward lean? And that blank blinking expression on her face—so adorable!

[Peaches are indeed beautiful. I love them.]

[Ahhh, I declare that Taozi is suitable for playing the role of a stupid beauty. It's so exciting.]

Nan Tao's curiosity was piqued. Just as she was about to ask Zhou Mei if "make do" meant it was completed or not, she saw Wen Manqing bringing Zhang Tong into the car. Seeing her miserable appearance, her attention was instantly diverted.

Wen Manqing looked miserable. His hair became messy and scattered like the hair of a scraggly puppy. His clean and beautiful clothes were stained with cement and looked dirty. There were obvious scrapes on his elbows and knees. Although the bloodstains were shallow and not serious, they still looked shocking.

"Manqing, what's wrong with you?" the three asked with concern.

Wen Manqing walked to his seat listlessly and sat down, looking embarrassed and pitiful.

Zhang Tong quickly raised her hand and answered, "I know, I know. The package was too heavy for Mom to lift, and she accidentally fell into a puddle on the ground."

Nan Tao patted Wen Manqing's shoulder sympathetically and sighed, "It's hard work. It's all for survival. It's not easy."

Wen Manqing complained: "Who said it wasn't?"

Forty minutes later, the bus stopped at the door of the villa.

The group got out of the car and headed straight for the villa.

After entering the living room, I quickly turned on the air conditioner.

The cool air quickly filled the large space, and everyone enjoyed a cool moment.

Nan Tao lay sprawled on the sofa, like a boneless salted fish, devoid of the elegance and reserve of a female star.

Not only Nan Tao, but even Wen Manqing, who always paid special attention to her image, followed Jiang Hui, Zhou Mei and others and collapsed on the sofa without caring about her image at all.

It can be seen that this mission has exhausted the four people so much that they don’t even care about their basic appearance.

While chatting about the process of completing their tasks, several people complained about the inhumanity of the production team.

Wen Manqing: "Haha, I know what happened when Meimei was gone. I delivered a package to the restaurant where she worked. The owner is very good at business. With the receipt, you can take a photo with Meimei. Many people don't even eat there, but they place an order just to take a photo. When I went there to deliver the package, Meimei's face was frozen with laughter. You don't know that Meimei's expression and eyes are separate. She has a standard fake smile on her face, but her eyes look like she wants to stab you. If eyes could kill, I guess a lot of people would die."

"Hahaha...hahaha...so that's how it is. I was wondering why Meimei suddenly gave that standard lip-raised smile when she got in the car. It scared me to death..." Nan Tao laughed so hard that she fell all over and lay on Jiang Hui, gasping for breath. She even laughed out tears.

Jiang Hui's eyes were also filled with smiles. "I was wondering why Amei seemed like a different person."

Zhou Mei's face darkened. She ignored their teasing and closed her eyes to rest.

Yang Xuan didn't understand why the adults were laughing, so she giggled along and repeated what the adults said, "Mom, laugh..."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again.

As I was laughing, I suddenly heard a gurgling sound.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and their eyes fell on Nan Tao's belly.

Nan Tao blushed with embarrassment and quickly covered her stomach, "You heard wrong, it wasn't me."

Jiang Hui laughed and said, "You're admitting it yourself."

Nan Tao quickly let go of her hand, and her face became even more charming and lovable.

I don’t know if cooing is contagious, but then I heard a series of cooing sounds, one after another, which was quite funny.

Nan Tao said with a smile: "Everyone is hungry."

Wen Manqing: "Isn't it? I've been tired all day, just for this dinner tonight, do you want to go and punch in?"

Nan Tao lazily curled up on the sofa, "I'll go, but I don't want to move."

Wen Manqing: "I don't want to move either. What about you guys?"

Zhou Mei and Jiang Hui also played badly.

After about fifteen or sixteen minutes, everyone was so hungry that they couldn't bear it anymore. The children couldn't stand being hungry either, so they had to drag their tired bodies to the gold coin exchange point to punch in. Besides, they were miserable and exhausted all afternoon, and the task was completed. It would be a waste of time if they didn't go to exchange the coins.

The gold coin exchange point is in the backyard of the villa.

Everyone left the living room and went around to the backyard of the villa. Near the back door of the villa, they saw a large KT board with the words "Gold Coin Exchange Point" written on it.

"I was wondering why the village chief disappeared. Turns out you were here." Everyone said in unison.

The children were very happy to see the village chief and rushed to him.

The village chief greeted the children one by one, then said to the adults, "Have you completed your tasks?"

"It's done."

Village chief: "One dollar can be exchanged for one gold coin, and the minimum exchange amount is one hundred gold coins."

Everyone completed their tasks and received similar rewards, so they all checked in at the village chief to exchange their gold coins.

It was called a gold coin exchange, but in reality they just handed the money to the village chief, and then the village chief gave them a small note with the amount of gold coins written on it.

Nan Tao complained: "It's too casual, there's no sense of ceremony at all."

Wen Manqing: "Perfunctory!"

The village chief coughed lightly and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the storage warehouse."

Everyone followed the village chief to the storage warehouse and were quite satisfied when they saw the rows of shelves.

"Not bad, there are even snacks. The production team is considerate."

"There's chicken, pork, ribs, greens, potatoes... Tsk, why are they all raw? There's no cooked food."

"You're tired after a day, and you still have to cook?"

"Destroy it."

Everyone was complaining and picking and choosing.

Four adults spent money together and ate together, and they could buy a lot of delicious food with more than 400 yuan.

Nan Tao's eyes rolled, and she quietly pulled Jiang Hui over and whispered, "I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

Jiang Hui couldn't help but lower her voice. "What's so mysterious about it?"

Nan Tao glanced at the others, especially seeing that the village chief wasn't paying attention to her, so she quickly said, "Look, four hundred yuan is a lot for a few of us, but there are eight of us, and Zhan Li and Yu Ze are two big eaters. I calculated how much we eat and what we can buy. If we save a little, we can make it until tomorrow noon."

Jiang Hui's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?"

Nan Tao: “That’s right!”

Jiang Hui: "I think it's OK. The production team didn't say it's necessary or necessary."

Nan Tao: "That's what I thought. Let's split up. You go find Meimei, and I'll find Manqing."

Nan Tao's words were heard clearly by netizens watching the live broadcast.

[I heard this calculation all over S City.]

[These two are so funny, they have some really cool ideas for not completing the mission.]

[Does the production team know that the two of them are planning how to slack off? ]

[What a mistake! The production team certainly didn't expect them to work so hard to avoid doing anything.]

【Look at how clever Taozi is. 】

[Tsk, if they weren't burdened by children, I think they would definitely go all out and starve for three days. It just so happens that female celebrities want to maintain their figure and lose weight, so they've found an excuse.]

I really want to see these sisters participate in a variety show where they travel together. It's so funny. Even the aloof actress Jiang and Director Zhou have been led astray by them.

[Who still remembers how gentle and ladylike Wen Manqing was when she first started live streaming? But now she's better, more down-to-earth, and much more pleasing to the eye than her previous aloofness.]

After taking action separately, they quickly gained unanimous approval.

So the group happily returned to the living room carrying the big bags.

As usual, Nan Tao and Zhou Mei were responsible for washing and cutting vegetables, while Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing cooked.

As everyone had discussed, they didn't cook much tonight, but enough to fill them up, and most of the remaining dishes would be saved for tomorrow morning and lunch.

After dinner, the children played happily in the villa yard, while the adults stayed in the living room and watched TV.

The years were peaceful and quiet, and it was hard to tell that each of them was in a mess in the afternoon.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the adults called the children who were playing outside to go back to the house and sleep.

Nan Tao felt a soft and sweet feeling in her heart when she saw her son jumping into her arms. She felt that she had made the right decision by agreeing to participate in this children's variety show. Her son was obviously much more cheerful. She reached out and touched his rosy face, and whispered, "Did you have fun?"

Yu Ze clung to Nan Tao's arms and said, "Happy."

Nan Tao: "What were you guys playing? I just heard Xiaotong and Xuanxuan screaming excitedly in the room."

Yu Ze: "We are playing hide-and-seek. They are hiding, and Zhan Li and I are competing to find them. Whoever finds them first wins."

Nan Tao talked to Yu Ze while saying good night to everyone else.

The night always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is the next morning.

Since everyone lived in a villa together, and there was no need to play games or do tasks in the morning, everyone slept in. Some woke up at ten o'clock, and some woke up at twelve o'clock.

When netizens saw this, they teased the guest for turning the survival theme into a pastoral theme.

After everyone woke up and finished lunch, the village chief finally played his role and took out the task lottery box.

"Come on, everyone, have a smoke."

Nan Tao took two steps back and asked, "Who will go first?"

The other three shook their heads, "Scared."

The village chief was speechless and suggested, "Why don't you just play rock-paper-scissors? Whoever wins gets to draw first."

Finally, everyone decided by rock-paper-scissors according to the village chief's suggestion.

Nan Tao had bad luck and lost the first round. Dejected, she went forward to draw the first number, but unfortunately, she drew the courier.

Next was Jiang Hui, who drew the waiter position, Wen Manqing drew the part-time worker position, and Zhou Mei drew the garbage collector position.

The subsequent process was the same as yesterday. Everyone got on the bus together and the driver took each group of guests to the mission destination.

Nan Tao was the first to get off the bus. She waved to everyone with a look of despair, "Goodbye, my sisters."

After saying that, Zhou Mei also got out of the car.

Nan Tao: "Huh? Could it be that you're picking up trash today in the same square as I did yesterday?"

Zhou Mei looked down at the map and said, "No."

Nan Tao: "Shouldn't it be close? I didn't expect that we'd be so close this time. I think we'd have company. Oh, right? You can sell your junk at the place where I recycled it yesterday. I'm familiar with the lady boss. I wonder if there's any of hers delivering today. If there is, I'll give her a heads up for you."

Zhou Mei: "Yeah."

Nan Tao: "The location is at the scrap recycling shop on Chunfeng Road. If you don't know, go ask someone else. If I can make it in time, I'll find you and take you there. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to rush to the Dada Express Station."

Zhou Mei: "Be careful."

Nan Tao: "Okay, don't worry, you too."

After parting, Nan Tao took Yu Ze to find the Chunfeng Station of Dada Express Station according to the address marked on the map.

The owner of the express station is a middle-aged man, a little fat, and seems easy to get along with.

"Just deliver these to the address. This is an electric scooter. Can you ride it?" asked the boss.

"meeting."

"That's fine. Be careful when riding. The delivery box on the back is a bit heavy. Especially when turning, be sure to slow down, otherwise you will easily fall. Also, remember to wear a helmet. If you are caught without one by the traffic police, you will be fined."

Nan Tao wrote down the boss's instructions one by one, then happily set off on her electric scooter with Yu Ze and the courier.

This express delivery task was easier than Wen Manqing's yesterday. They were basically small express boxes, and the items inside were very light, nothing heavy.

Moreover, the places Nan Tao went to several times were all high-end residential areas, where she could take the elevator directly without having to climb stairs.

When she delivered the third-to-last express, Nan Tao looked at the address and felt it was familiar. The address was the address where she went to sell scrap yesterday, and the recipient's name was Wang Jiang.

Nan Tao followed the navigation on her mobile phone and headed towards her destination familiarly, humming a little song as she rode her bike against the wind.

She thought delivering express packages was pretty good. The program team gave her a mobile phone, so she could surf the Internet when she was free. It was much better than picking up trash yesterday.

After eight or nine minutes, they arrived at their destination. Nan Tao looked at the waste piled up at the gate and laughed out loud. What a coincidence! This was the place where she sold waste yesterday. She wondered if the lady boss would be scared when she saw her today.

After parking the electric scooter, Nan Tao took Wang Jiang's express delivery, then took Yu Ze's hand and walked inside.

After walking a few steps, I heard the angry and indignant voice of the proprietress coming from inside.

"Who is your mother?! Don't identify relatives randomly. I only have one son, Wang Jiang."
