Chapter 704: The Stepmother (8)

Qiao Xiaoya felt entrusted with an important responsibility. She was already seven years old and was the older sister, so of course she had to take good care of her younger siblings. "Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings."

Wen Wan nodded; Qiao Xiaoya was reliable in crucial moments.

Xiao Nuo wanted to come over, and Bei Bei wanted to come over too.

Finally, the director spoke up, "The children can be divided into two groups to complete the task."

In the end, Xiao Nuo and Bei Bei teamed up, while Qiao Xiao Ya teamed up with Xiao Tuan Zi and Yun Duo.

Wen Wan then realized that of the five children, four were girls and only one was a boy, who was actually the youngest. The production team really knew how to choose children.

After the children finally left, Lin Ge asked the director, "So, what do we need to do?"

Director: "You work hard taking care of the children every day. Our production team has arranged for a very famous masseur from the village to give you a full massage, as well as a unique herbal foot bath, so you can relax."

Parents: Wow, this production team is amazing!

Wen Wan was thrilled.

This is the kind of plot we should have.

Afterwards, everyone went to enjoy themselves. Wen Wan and Lin Ge were in a room, chatting and getting massages and foot baths, feeling incredibly relaxed.

The production team wasn't so kind either; they directly gave the parents a live stream from their own children's perspective.

Everything was fine at first; Qiao Xiaoya led her younger siblings along the route.

They found the first spot smoothly and picked eggplants. The three of them picked three eggplants that were about the size of a finger.

Wen Yan: "..."

Lin Ge: "..."

"It's all my little dumpling's fault, he likes anything cute." Then the other two picked the smaller ones to make the little dumpling happy.

After some stumbling and difficulty, they found some more things and ended up meeting some children from the same village. Then a bunch of them started playing games like slingshots, jump rope, and hopscotch. Anyway, nobody remembered that they had a mission.

Wen Wan sighed, "It's okay, we have meat."

Lin Ge: "Let's make more tonight. I guess Chen Xi and Yun Duo will eat together, and maybe the other two families will too."

"Um."

As Wen Wanling predicted, the other two groups also encountered many problems. In any case, the mission was not completed satisfactorily, and the ingredients they brought were either missing one or another.

Finally, seeing their children return with their achievements, the parents were all overwhelmed with emotion.

In the end, they decided to cooperate. Wen Wan provided a chicken and a duck, Chen Kai took care of killing the chicken and duck, Chen Xi washed the vegetables, Liu Zihua and Lin Ge cooked together, and Wen Wan was responsible for providing the recipes.

Liu Zihua was somewhat surprised, "Chen Qian, were your ancestors imperial chefs? How do you know all these recipes by heart?"

Wen Wan: "Maybe so, anyway, it's a family heirloom."

Chen Qian's mother passed away, leaving her alone with a few relatives who lived far away and whom she hadn't been in contact with for a long time. Chen Qian looked down on those relatives.

Wen Wan is in charge of taking care of the baby.

The system offers some games that children like, and Wen Wan actually enjoys the process of taking care of the child, which can be considered as making up for the lack of her own childhood.

All of this captured by the lens is warm and beautiful, the most ordinary human moments.

Wen Wan understood why this variety show wasn't very popular. While other variety shows were pushing the boundaries and getting dramatic and sensational, this children's show was extremely "ordinary" and lacked any eye-catching highlights. Wen Wan originally thought that the director would use her and Qiao Xiaoya to boost the show's popularity, but nothing happened throughout the day.

This made Wen Wan feel exceptionally comfortable.

After preparing the meal.

Plates of food were brought to the table in the yard. The children were starving, and the parents were just as hungry, after all, the taste was absolutely amazing.

Liu Zihua praised Wen Wan, "Chen Qian, your recipe is really good. I'll write it down so I can make it at home in the future. This is the first time I've felt that my cooking skills are comparable to those of a five-star chef."

Lin Ge: "Right? I discovered it at noon. If you open a restaurant with this recipe, it will definitely be a huge hit."

Wen Wan: "It's not impossible if I retire in the future."

During the mealtime afterwards, the parents took care of their children while they ate, and both parents and children enjoyed their meals.

After the meal, it was time for the usual program: singing, dancing, and talent shows.

Not just the children, but also the parents. Chen Xi was incredibly at ease in this segment, after all, he's an active idol, so he definitely has the skills.

They arrived at Wenwan.

Wen Wan stepped forward and said, "Then I'll perform a magic trick for everyone."

The props were provided by the system. Wen Wan used a silk scarf to conjure roses and various other small items, most of which she obtained from the villagers. After all, besides soaking their feet, they had visited many places and had a lot of interaction with the villagers that afternoon.

Lin Ge and the others were all surprised.

I never expected Wen Wan to have this talent.

The children went even crazier, and even Qiao Xiaoya stared intently, as if afraid of missing something.

Finally, when everyone was tired of playing, they went home to rest.

Xiao Nuo kept crying, but in the end, Yun Duo invited Xiao Nuo to live with her, and the director agreed.

Chen Kai had no choice but to agree, and he also felt a headache coming on.

Wen Wan and Qiao Xiaoya were getting ready to sleep when, lo and behold, there was only one bed. Qiao Xiaoya drew a line in the middle with a pillow, saying, "You can't cross this line."

Wen Yan: "..."

childish.

As if you think anyone would want to be next to you.

In the middle of the night, Wen Wan rolled to the other side and hugged Qiao Xiaoya in her arms like a pillow, and Qiao Xiaoya did not react at all.

The next day, Qiao Xiaoya woke up first and found herself in Wen Wan's arms, pushing Wen Wan away forcefully.

Wen Wan directly and forcibly suppressed them.

Then she continued to sleep; she was so sleepy that she wasn't even fully conscious.

Qiao Xiaoya: "..."

She wanted to go home.

This person has absolutely no sense of propriety; they're a terrifying adult.

Although her mother loved her very much, she had always slept alone since she was little. This was the first time she had slept with someone else. This woman smelled sweet in her arms, a kind of indescribable milky scent. It was strange, she was clearly an adult, yet she still smelled like milk.

Finally, it was the production crew who called her. Qiao Xiaoya broke free from Wen Wan and got out of bed to open the door for the crew.

"Where are your parents?" the staff member asked gently.

Qiao Xiaoya: "Stay in bed."

The staff member took out a task card and said, "You need to follow the route on this task card to the finish line to pick up breakfast. If you're late, there might not be any good food left. Go and wake your parents up."

Qiao Xiaoya nodded, "I understand, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie."

Then they started to torture Wen Wan like crazy. Wen Wan got up and tortured her back. In the end, the two childish girls ran wildly on the road. In the end, they were still the last ones to arrive. The remaining breakfast consisted of a steamed bun, two bowls of white porridge, and a plate of pickled vegetables. Wen Wan was not picky, and neither was Qiao Xiaoya. In this respect, the two were very compatible. As long as they could eat, they were fine, as long as they didn't go hungry.
