Qin Shiyue had no idea what the old man was laughing about until he came to the old man's side, sat down with him, and saw the comments on the live stream.
His expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
It's okay, so what if I get tanned? Some people still think I look handsome, so it's not a loss.
"How are you feeling?" the old man asked him as he stood up.
"Not bad. How could a small rice paddy be difficult for me? Even if you gave me ten more fields, I could harvest them all!!" His tone was full of pride.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. I hope you can still say that tomorrow." The old man thought to himself, "Tomorrow, I guess I won't be able to straighten my back."
Although he is overjoyed now.
After packing up her sickle tools, Qin Shiyue followed the old man home.
Aunt Li went back to cook first. At this time, wisps of smoke rose from the chimney, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the fields, and farmers returned to their fields, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
Qin Shiyue hummed a song, feeling relaxed and happy. Today's experience was very special for him.
When I got back, Aunt Li had already cooked the rice and a dish of vegetables, which were lumps and dark in color, and I couldn't tell what they were.
Aunt Li invited Qin Shiyue to wash her hands, sit down, and try her cooking.
The old man looked at Qin Shiyue with a half-smile, and Qin Shiyue immediately sensed something was wrong.
Holding the chopsticks, I was unsure whether to start eating.
"Eat up, didn't you want to find the worst-tasting food in this area?" The old man pointed to the dish that Aunt Li had brought out. "Here, this is it. Eat up."
The old man looked at the words on the live stream chat and said, "Eat quickly, everyone is waiting."
So, the thing the old man said was the worst-tasting food was actually Aunt Li's cooking?!
The comments section became active, with everyone eagerly anticipating Qin Shiyue's reaction.
With a look of grim determination, Qin Shiyue raised her hand, picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, paused for a moment, and finally put it in her mouth.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Shiyue turned around and vomited, living up to everyone's expectations.
The taste was truly hard to describe, and Qin Shiyue's face turned pale.
I'm starting to feel nauseous.
The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter upon seeing his reaction. Yes, it was indeed very unpalatable.
The final result of accepting defeat in a bet—Qin Shiyue vomited.
Qin Shiyue took the water the old man handed her, rinsed her mouth, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
"Grandpa, how have you managed to survive until now?" Qin Shiyue looked at the dish on the table again and asked the question that many netizens wanted to know.
"Good question." The old man took a sip of wine. "I've been cooking for over thirty years to avoid being poisoned."
"Well, you must have worked really hard," Qin Shiyue said deliberately.
"It's not hard work, it's just a hard life."
No sooner had the old man finished speaking than Aunt Li's voice came from outside, "What are you saying about having a hard life? The chicken is already killed, so hurry up and cook for Xiao Qin!"
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately went outside and took the chicken that Aunt Li had killed into the kitchen.
Aunt Li walked in, looking embarrassed.
"Oh dear, that wasn't a proper meal, Xiao Qin. That old man insisted I make it, saying it was something you specifically asked for."
"Thank you, Aunt Li. This is indeed what I wanted. But what kind of dish is this?"
"Oh, this is braised eggplant with lean pork, can't you tell?"
"Ah??! Hmm, I can tell, I can tell..." Qin Shiyue gave a wry smile and praised Aunt Li's cooking skills against her will. Aunt Li smiled from ear to ear.
The viewers in the live chat felt sorry for him, saying it was really hard for him to praise a terrible dish.
The old man was busy in the kitchen, and Aunt Li turned around and went in to help out. She was quite good at starting the fire, washing and chopping vegetables, but she wasn't very good at cooking.
Qin Shiyue was a little bored in the living room. She felt a little embarrassed to do nothing while visiting someone's home, so she went into the kitchen as well.
The kitchen in the countryside used to be quite spacious, but now that three people are in the kitchen, it suddenly feels cramped.
Aunt Li originally told Qin Shiyue to just go out and wait, since she was a guest at home, and it wouldn't be right to make a guest do chores.
But in the end, he couldn't refuse Qin Shiyue, so he had no choice but to let him help out in the kitchen.
Simple tasks like washing dishes and tending the fire.
Qin Shiyue is capable of doing it; he's not a complete waste.
Dinner was officially served at 7:30 p.m.
The old man prepared a large table of dishes, including fish, meat, and seasonal vegetables—everything imaginable. Moreover, thanks to his culinary skills, the dishes were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
The scent of Qin Shi Yue Guang is so enticing it makes your mouth water.
The three sat down to eat. Qin Shiyue's live stream was on, showing everyone the food the old man had cooked, making everyone's mouths water.
Especially for netizens who are starving at this time and whose takeout is delayed.
The three of them ate and chatted happily, enjoying each other's company.
Qin Shiyue suddenly remembered that he used to eat with his parents like this.
As we've grown up, everyone's busy with work, so we rarely have the chance to get together for a meal. It's been a long time since I've felt this way.
"Grandpa, with your skills, you could open a restaurant!" Qin Shiyue said, taking a sip of the chicken soup the old man had made, praising it highly.
"Oh dear, Xiao Qin, don't praise him too much. He's practically wagging his tail in the air," Aunt Li teased.
“That’s true. It’s normal for an old lady to get tired of eating it after more than ten years and think it doesn’t taste good anymore. It’s my fault~” Qin Shiyue almost wanted to stand up and applaud the old man.
Why is this old man so teasy? He's old and still so unserious. But Qin Shiyue found it quite amusing to watch the old couple bickering.
After dinner, Qin Shiyue insisted on washing the dishes, and the old man didn't stop him. After all, the old man really hated washing dishes, for no reason. Even though he didn't like it, he had been washing dishes for decades.
At eight o'clock in the evening, seeing that it was so late, the old man suggested that Qin Shiyue stay overnight, since there were still empty rooms available.
Qin Shiyue thought about it and accepted it. It was so late, he would never go back alone.
So I sent a message in the group that I wouldn't be going home tonight.
Of course, this group was created by the show's director, who is known for his recklessness. In addition to the regular guests, the group also includes the director and Shen Qingyun, making a total of eleven people.
Of course, this group was created temporarily to facilitate communication during the recording of this final episode.
Qin Shiyue even took some pictures of the dishes the old man made and posted them in the group chat, making the reckless director incredibly hungry.
After taking a shower and changing into the clean clothes Aunt Li had found, Qin Shiyue sat down with the old man to watch TV.
Aunt Li then prepared a room for Qin Shiyue to stay in.
In the living room, the old man and Qin Shiyue were chatting.
"Have Grandpa and Aunt Li always had such a good relationship?" Although the two were always bickering, Qin Shiyue could feel the deep affection between them that had lasted for decades.
"What couple doesn't argue? They quarrel in bed and make up in bed."
"Then how do you maintain the relationship between husband and wife?" Qin Shiyue was really curious.
"Well, of course we'll gossip together!"
The old man's words were a revelation to Qin Shiyue. No wonder, no wonder these two were able to get together.
"Of course, it's mainly due to my handsome appearance and unparalleled personal charm."
"Grandpa, you're really shameless."
Aunt Li came out of the inner room and overheard their conversation.
"A person needs a sense of shame, and a tree needs bark. How can you be so irresponsible at your age?" Aunt Li shook her head.
Qin Shiyue suddenly remembered something and looked at Aunt Li.
"Aunt Li, is it true that the old man said he was extremely handsome when he was young?"
"Is he still the type of woman who's after him, with a line of suitors stretching from one end of the village to the other? Does he still say that I was the one who pursued him?" Aunt Li always got the answer right, which suggests that Uncle Li had said these things quite often.
"Wait here, I have something to show you." Aunt Li quickly came out from the inner room, holding a photo in her hand.
Qin Shiyue could tell at a glance that these were photos of them when they were young.
The old man had quite a good presence when he was young, and I imagine he had many suitors. But Aunt Li was even more captivating in her youth.
With just one glance, Qin Shiyue was certain that it was the old man who pursued Aunt Li back then. The old man conceded defeat and admitted it.
The viewers in the live stream were also amazed by the photos of the old man and Aunt Li, and they all shared their own elders' stunning beauty when they were young in the comments.
The topic then shifted to Qin Shiyue.
"Xiao Qin, do you have a girlfriend yet?" It seems like you can never escape this kind of question when you're with your elders.
"If Xiao Qin doesn't have one, Aunt Li will introduce you to someone, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Xiao Qin, you're a good person. Aunt Li likes people like you. I have a daughter..."
Once Aunt Li starts talking about this topic, she can't stop.
"Hey, old woman, that's enough. Little Qin is so handsome, do you think he'd lack girlfriends? Stop worrying unnecessarily," the old man interrupted, unable to bear it any longer.
He used to work in media relations and was worried that Qin Shiyue might not be comfortable answering.
At first, everyone was laughing in the live stream, but gradually the topic turned to whether idols can date and how to date.
The agent watched the live stream and saw the discussions among fans in the chat, and it was like a major earthquake struck his chest.
He thought to himself, "You better not cause me any trouble."
