Leo, who was standing nearby, noticed the picture Chaochao was holding and said with great sympathy, "Poor little Chaochao..."

Why live in such a dilapidated house?

Lei Bao came over and said, "Chao Chao, you can come to our house to use the toilet, and you can watch TV too!"

Leo also wanted to say, "You can come too, Chaochao..."

Teng Yi covered his mouth with a kiss, "Don't even think about it, we don't have a toilet or a TV at home."

Changchang was a little nervous: "Chaochao, my family also has a toilet."

Xiao Qing repeated her statement with exceptional pride: "I have a dog!"

Chaochao was pleasantly surprised to hear her friends' kind words.

Is she going to have a friend?

Now the adults are taking their little ones to look at houses.

Jiang Chi held Chaochao's hand, frowned as he studied the map, and started walking in the general direction.

The little dumpling in his arms was still tilting its head, happily greeting people, lost in its world of friendship, its tiny feet firmly planted on the spot. Jiang Chi took a step and realized something was wrong; looking down, he saw the little dumpling had tilted at a 45-degree angle.

Jiang Chi: "..."

After winding through the alleys of the ancient village, Jiang Chi finally arrived at the legendary Spider House, following the map.

At this point, silence is the only response.

The old mud-brick house has mottled walls, with piles of fallen plaster in the corners and screen windows with several large holes.

Jiang Chi mustered his courage, closed his eyes, and stepped across the threshold.

The house was bare.

Behind the rickety door, a few characters were hastily written in calligraphy, from top to bottom.

left:

This is a humble abode.

Jiang Chi shifted his gaze to the right.

You decide what to do.

It's clearly a sign of giving up.

"..."

Jiang Chi took a deep breath.

As a result, he choked on the dust, "cough cough..."

"Ah..." Chaochao hopped over the threshold, letting out a slightly disappointed sound.

Everyone assumed she didn't want to live in that dilapidated house.

Then I heard the little dumpling say with a troubled expression:

"Where are the little spiders?"

Jiang Chi pressed his knuckles to his lips, suppressing the itch in his throat, and pointed his fingertips to the upper right corner of the door frame.

There was a loose spider web there.

But there were no spiders.

"It went to the toilet."

Jiang Chi said in a hoarse voice.

Looking up at the spider web, the easily fooled little dumpling innocently asked, "When will it come back?"

Jiang Chi frowned and looked around. "Wait until it finishes using the toilet."

[Are you crazy for treating your child so carelessly?!]

[Hahaha, Daily Nonsense Literature]

[Chaochao actually believed it, haha, quickly download the anti-fraud app!]

Chaochao, clearly unaware that he had been fooled, nodded seriously, and then the curious child wandered around the room.

The production team wasn't entirely inhumane, and the room wasn't empty either; there was at least a bed, a table, two chairs, and a brightly colored, incongruous display of the sponsor's milk on the table.

Jiang Chi, disregarding the fact that the camera was still rolling, abruptly asked, "Chao Chao, do you want to live here?"

As soon as Chaochao says she doesn't want to, Jiang Chi will simply take the child and leave.

The cameraman looked slightly alarmed.

It's here, it's finally coming!

The little dumpling, who looked like a leader on an inspection tour, nodded with his hands behind his back in a serious manner. Hearing Jiang Chi's words, he turned to look at him.

"Wherever my brother is, that's where I'll be."

As she spoke, the little dumpling looked around.

"This place... is quite nice."

Chaochao was telling the truth. Look, there's a huge bed, a huge table, and a little spider that went to the toilet and hasn't come back yet.

When her uncle and aunt lived at home, her little house was drafty and very cold.

Look, this room isn't cold at all.

It's still warm and cozy.

Hearing the little dumpling's cheerful thoughts, the system couldn't help but sigh, "Baby, think about it, it was winter back then, of course it was cold."

Having successfully brainwashed herself, Chaochao nodded emphatically: "Yes, it won't break!"

The little dumpling bounced around, saying, "This is Chaochao and her brother's home!"

[Haha, Jiang Chi's fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly.]

[Chao Chao is such a sweet baby, I'm so moved! She's not spoiled at all and even comforts her older brother.]

[ChaoChao Baby: This is a humble abode, but as long as you're here, I'm here too, hahaha]

Jiang Chi thought to himself, "He really is just a child, always carefree and laughing like an idiot."

The lingering resentment in my heart dissipated without me even realizing it.

He rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the little boy by the back of his collar with one hand, and placed him outside the door. Without turning his head, he said, "You can play in the yard while I tidy up."

Upon hearing this, Chaochao rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush in, "No, I want to help too!"

Jiang Chi turned around, his eyes gleaming, and asked in a cool tone with a hint of disdain, "What can you do?"

With short arms and legs, even climbing into bed is difficult for him.

Chaochao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she raised her hand: "I can cheer for my brother!"

The little dumpling was happily spinning around outside:

"Go, brother! You're the best!"

"Brother, fly bravely, I'll always be with you!"

Like a wind-up bird, it chirps and chatters nonstop.

Jiang Chi: ...Where did she hear all this from?

Fortunately, at that moment, the production team handed over the task card.

Please have your children go to the location shown in the picture to collect their lunch.

"The earlier you arrive, the better the food you'll get!"

The little dumpling, holding the card, set off proudly and confidently.

She will definitely bring back the most sumptuous lunch for her brother!

Jiang Chi leaned against the door, watching the little girl's departing figure, feeling uneasy. "Won't she get lost?"

The cameraman hesitated for a moment, then decided to flatter him: "No, Chaochao is very smart."
