Chapter 13 Weird Kid 13
Twenty minutes later, Yan Xia finally realized his wish of sharing three big bowls with his brother, and also tasted the flavor of his second uncle, the big fat duck.
I can only say that as expected of my grandpa, the meat was indeed a little bit old, but after being cooked by my grandmother's superb cooking skills, the quality problem of my second uncle's meat was almost negligible.
After eating the last grain of rice, Yan Xia leaned back in his chair and smacked his lips, planning that next time he would eat three big bowls by himself.
This next time is coming soon.
The plan for the six groups of guests to have dinner together, which was not completed due to the rain yesterday, was brought up again by the program team in the afternoon.
So, in the evening, Yan Xia tasted the dishes prepared by the other three adults. How to describe the taste? It was probably that even the three people combined could not come up with a taste that was so delicious and fragrant.
Putting the big fat duck's second uncle in the pot can directly summon its eight generations of ancestors. The meat is so tough that if the teeth could talk, they would say that this is a high-end game.
At the dinner table, Yan Xia once again calmly spat out a mouthful of unchewable meat, and silently took back his words to eat three large bowls of food. He did not expect that among the six adults, the one who cooked the best was actually his eldest brother.
In fact, Yan Ji’s cooking skills can only be described as average. He had rarely been in the kitchen in his previous life, and later on he had to learn a little while performing missions.
But just this point alone is considered a masterpiece in front of a few artists who can't tell the difference between the main and the secondary.
Yan Xia quickly picked up the last piece of meat stewed by his brother and decided that he would do it himself next time he had the chance. At least he would make sure that the chickens, ducks and fish died a worthy death.
But this opportunity did not come until the night before they left.
After this tooth-breaking and stomach-breaking dinner, the program crew directly announced the next day's recording content. They had to help a family in the village harvest watermelons for a morning, and the host would provide breakfast and lunch.
After working hard for a whole morning, the group played some games near the evening. Yan Xia's group won first place and the dinner provided by the program team.
After dinner, this beautiful little village became exceptionally quiet. This was their last night here, and tomorrow morning everyone would go back home to see their mothers.
In the room, Yan Xia packed his small suitcase and went into the bathroom with a bath towel before his brother. After the hot water had been running for more than ten minutes, Yan Xia raised his hand to turn off the shower.
The moment he pressed the switch, not only did the water stop, but the light bulb above his head... also went out.
Yan Xia: “???”
In the darkness, Yan Xia blinked, but before she could move, there was a knock on the bathroom door, and Yan Ji's voice came through the door.
“The power is out.”
"Are you done washing?"
Yan Xia groped in the dark to get a towel while replying to his brother: "I'm done."
Not a second more or less, just right.
Today is also an ordinary little lucky day.
Yan. The Lucky Little Xia found the bath towel and quickly wrapped himself up using the lady's wrapping method. He was so skilled at pulling the bath towel that he felt sorry for himself.
Once upon a time, he was also casually covering only the lower body, but now...
With such a short height, if you only wrap your lower body, the remaining part of the bath towel can be turned directly into a mop.
-
The bathroom door opened and it was pitch black outside. Yan Xia poked her head out with her shoulders exposed.
It was really a physical power outage. He almost thought he had joined the ranks of ancient martial artists. Others could hit a cow from a distance, but he could cut off the power from a distance.
I was thinking that since Brother Buddha’s research and development has reached this level, why didn’t he give him the ability to see in the dark?
Brother Buddha, who is several light years away: I seem to hear someone thinking about Taozi.
…
Yan Xia, who was missing Peach, grabbed Yan Ji's arm outside the door with one hand and held the bath towel wrapped around her chest with the other hand. Before they returned to the bedroom, they heard the aunt downstairs calling them.
The aunt was standing at the stairs with a mobile phone in her hand. The light from the phone screen shone on her face, adding a bit of weirdness.
Fortunately, only the fixed camera in the bedroom was left at this moment, and there was no other cameraman filming. Otherwise, if this scene entered the live broadcast room, people might think they were broadcasting a wilderness rural adventure.
The auntie seemed unaware that she looked a little scary. She even gestured and explained the purpose of her visit, saying that they knew when the electricity would come back and that there should be candles on top of the closet in the bedroom, so she asked them to use that first.
While Yan Ji was talking to the aunt, Yan Xia had already returned to the bedroom in the dark. Standing on the small stool next to the closet, he reached out and felt around, then...
I felt lonely.
The little hand didn't even touch the edge of the top of the wardrobe.
Yan Xia raised his arm and met Yan Ji's gaze. Although he couldn't see his brother's expression clearly in the dark, he could clearly feel that his brother seemed to be saying, "Don't you have any idea of your height?"
Yan Xia, who had no idea about AC, pulled off the bath towel elegantly and jumped down from the small stool.
"I was reckless. Please come."
Then, Yan Xia looked up and saw his brother groping on the top of the wardrobe for a long time but to no avail.
The two men, one tall and one short, met each other's gazes again.
“…………”
It seems that the aunt had fooled me.
Yan Xia walked to the stairs in his slippers and shouted downstairs: "Landlady, it's not..."
"Auntie, auntie!!"
After several calls, the aunt came out from some room, still holding her phone: "What's going on?"
Yan Xia: "There are no candles on the closet."
"Let me take a look." The aunt went upstairs with the flashlight from her cell phone.
A moment later, the wardrobe welcomed the third person who flipped over its head in a short period of time. No... it should be said that there were two people, after all, the first one couldn't even reach it.
Yan Xia, who was waiting with his eldest brother on the side, breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that the electricity development in this small village should be very good, and there would probably be no power outages more than once or twice a year.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much space in such a big house without even a candle.
Yan Xia glanced at the auntie who was lighting up with her cell phone and felt that she had probably discovered the truth.
"Huh?"
After a minute or two, the aunt asked a question.
Yan Xia was about to say forget it when he heard the aunt mutter, "I remember there were a few left on the day my father died."
"Maybe he took it and used it." Yan Xia blurted out without thinking.
Then……
The whole room fell silent.
The audience who watched the dark live broadcast also fell silent.
After several seconds, the barrage became dense.
【Originally I wanted to watch some hypnosis. 】
[I won’t tell you who quietly withdrew his feet from outside the quilt.]
【Children’s words are without restraint, children’s words are without restraint! 】
【Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony...all evils retreat! 】
[I heard from my grandma that the so-and-so eats candles.]
【Ah ...
…
"Ha ha."
Yan Xia's laughter to relieve the embarrassment was short but effective.
At least the aunt who was obsessed with finding a candle finally let go of the top of the wardrobe.
The aunt groped in the dark, but in the end she still couldn't find Schrödinger's candle.
No one knew that the aunt who came downstairs in the dark was still thinking quietly in her heart, could it be that her father had taken it and eaten it? She remembered that there was a candle in her bedroom, but she had searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
Thinking of this, the aunt couldn't help but quicken her pace downstairs, which was a bit creepy.
Upstairs, Yan Xia and his friend could only wait in the darkness for the program crew to bring them light, since they had even handed in their cell phones.
Three or five minutes later, two groups of enthusiastic guests arrived along with the program staff.
Feng Lele held a flashlight and shone it at the second-floor window, shouting at the top of his voice: "Yan Xia, Yan Xia, come out and play!"
"Why are you hiding in the house without making any noise? I know you are home!"
Yan Xia: “…”
He just ran to change his clothes.
After Yan Xia went downstairs, he received a flashlight representing light from the accompanying PD Tan Yi. At the same time, he also received enthusiastic invitations from two other groups of guests, asking them if they wanted to go to the hillside to watch the stars together.
They also said they had received a tip that the power outage was caused by a broken line somewhere and it might take an hour or two to repair it.
Yan Xia didn't care about it, mainly because of his brother. However, a two-hour power outage meant no hot water for a bath for two hours, and his brother was very picky and would not go to bed without taking a bath.
Although taking a cold shower is indeed a standard for every abstinence-oriented boss, his brother is a single dog...
Yes, but it is not necessary.
Besides, it’s still early.
As Yan Xia expected, his brother expressed his support for this group activity and had already taken the lead.
The three children walked among the adults and staff, and soon reached the small hill in a lively manner.
The small village plunged into darkness, with the reflection of the stars in the sky, has a more unique beauty at night than the green mountains and clear waters in the daytime. Occasionally, a few fireflies fly over the hillside.
Children who like to chase butterflies during the day cannot resist the temptation of fireflies at night.
Some people were running and jumping, some were looking up at the starry sky, and the little hillside was peaceful and quiet.
Yan Xia half leaned on his brother's arm and looked up, his mind wandering in the quietness. He stared at the starry sky and thought that the content recorded at this moment would definitely be included in the end of the edited version.
At the end of each episode, there is a sentimental moment or a few beautiful long shots, which is an old variety show routine.
