He'll have to ask Director Jiang for some medicine later.
Feng Xuan cried for a while before stopping, and then went ashore with Ge Ling to continue playing.
Shouldn't Feng Xuan and Ge Ling apologize to Cheese? They splashed water and mud all over Cheese, and didn't even say "sorry"?
[Feng Xuan's fall has a bit of a karmic retribution feel to it. He didn't apologize to the cheese, and he didn't listen to his mother and go play on the shore, so heaven made him fall flat on his face.]
The two people upstairs went too far. Kids will inevitably get hurt sometimes when they're roughhousing; bringing up karma and retribution is going too far.
Well-mannered children, if they accidentally hurt another child while playing roughly, know to say "sorry." Unmannered children, on the other hand, always find excuses for themselves.
Feng Wenhe dotes on his son, and President Chi dotes on his daughter. This is fine as long as Cheese is alright; but if Cheese were truly in trouble, would President Chi let Feng Xuan off the hook?
At 11:30 a.m., Director Jiang asked everyone to stop digging for lotus roots and made a ranking based on the weight and quality of the lotus roots dug by each group of guests.
The first and second place winners were Guo Zhuyan's family and Qin Yuanyao's group, who received cash prizes of 20 yuan and 10 yuan respectively.
The third and fourth place winners were Feng Wenhe's family and Xu Miaotong's family, who received cash prizes of 8 yuan and 5 yuan respectively.
Then, Director Jiang asked everyone to buy the ingredients needed for lunch from the production team and cook lunch themselves when they got home.
The production team prepared a very generous amount of ingredients today, including chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and small crabs.
Feng Wenhe immediately noticed the basin full of small crabs and laughed, "Today, finally everyone can eat crabs on their own. My wife's spicy crab is also amazing."
Gao Li was unaware that Qin Yuanyao had only sent spicy crabs to Ye Rui and the others yesterday.
Hearing Feng Wenhe say this, Gao Li asked in confusion, "Teacher Feng, what do you mean? Did someone eat crab yesterday?"
Feng Wenhe glanced at Gao Li without revealing her thoughts, unsure whether Gao Li was genuinely unaware or feigning ignorance.
However, it was Xu Miaotong who told them that Qin Yuanyao had only sent spicy crabs to Ye Rui and the others. Gao Li and Xu Miaotong are husband and wife; he shouldn't have been unaware of this.
Therefore, Feng Wenhe believes that Gao Li is pretending not to know and deliberately stirring up trouble.
Feng Wenhe said, "Didn't Xu Miaotong tell you? When she brought us purple sweet potato balls yesterday, she said that Qin Yuanyao gave spicy crab to Teacher Ye and the others."
Qin Yuanyao and Ye Rui both glanced at Xu Miaotong.
It turns out that Xu Miaotong said something like that yesterday when she was delivering purple sweet potato balls to each household.
Heh~
Gao Li was a little confused.
Why didn't Xu Miaotong tell him about this?
However, after hearing Feng Wenhe say that, he already understood what Feng Wenhe meant by her initial statement.
So Gao Li followed up, "The production team must have seen that Teacher Qin and Teacher Ye ate spicy crab, so they specially added crab to the ingredients today. I think the price set by the production team is not expensive, ten yuan a serving, fifteen crabs per serving, which is affordable for most people. It's just so that all of us can eat spicy crab."
[I'm a little confused. What's going on here? Two grown men, scheming like this?]
Why did Feng Wenhe deliberately bring up spicy crab? And Gao Li, what are you doing here, echoing her? It's just that Qin Yuanyao didn't send them spicy crab too, is it really necessary to bring it up and make such a sarcastic remark? What, have you never had spicy crab before?!
I suddenly remembered a quote I'd read somewhere before, something like, "Men can be even more manipulative than women." The current situation is a perfect example of that.
[I love this kind of plot! Qin Yuanyao only wants to please Ye Rui and the others, no wonder the other guests are making sarcastic remarks about it! Anyway, none of them are kind people, the better they fight, that would be even more exciting!]
That's right. Qin Yuanyao acted dishonestly and unwisely first, and Xu Miaotong, Feng Wenhe, and Gao Li also acted dishonestly. In short, everyone has their own schemes, and no one is inherently kinder than anyone else.
[Did Gao Li not even know the gist of the story? All this so that everyone could eat spicy crab? The other guests' families might be able to afford spicy crab, but his family certainly doesn't have enough money.]
"Honey, let's buy some crabs. You know how to make spicy crab, right?" Gao Li said to Xu Miaotong with affection and a hint of coquetry.
Xu Miaotong hadn't told Gao Li yet that she had used all their family's assets yesterday to buy ingredients for making purple sweet potato balls, and they only had the five yuan reward they received today left.
“We don’t have enough money, we only have five yuan,” Xu Miaotong said.
"How come there's only five yuan?" Gao Li asked, puzzled. "There were more than twenty yuan left yesterday, and with today's bonus, it should be more than thirty yuan."
"Yesterday I asked Director Jiang to buy ingredients for making purple sweet potato balls, and I spent all my money."
"Used them all?!" Gao Li exclaimed in disbelief. "You made so many purple sweet potato balls, did you really need to spend so much money on ingredients?"
Gao Li's repeated questioning, tinged with reproach, made Xu Miaotong feel somewhat displeased.
At the same time, she was also somewhat embarrassed.
With so many guests watching, can Gao Li please stop pursuing that small amount of money now?
"Yes, Director Jiang said that much money is needed."
"Director Jiang said he wanted so much money, and you just gave it all to him? Didn't you even try to negotiate and spend less?" Gao Li found it hard to accept.
“I tried to bargain, but it was no use. Director Jiang said that's the price we want. You don't really like spicy crab, so we don't need to eat it. We still have a few purple sweet potato balls left from yesterday. If we buy some other vegetables, that should be enough.”
He was extremely polite.
No wonder when he asked Xu Miaotong to go to the production team to buy some fresh vegetables last night, Xu Miaotong said she wanted to eat purple sweet potato balls. She made a lot of purple sweet potato balls and still has a lot left.
So she spent all the money!
They earned that money together, how could she spend it all without his permission?!
There's only five yuan left, which isn't enough for them to eat for a whole day!
The purple sweet potato balls she made were absolutely awful, yet they actually ate them for days on end!
How can she always act without using her brain!
He had no problem with her targeting Qin Yuanyao. But could she please stop dragging him into it every time, making him suffer along with her?
Xu Miaotong noticed Gao Li's expression and was also unhappy.
She remembered that in the previous season, Qin Yuanyao spent all of the family's assets without asking Chi Baiyi's consent, but Chi Baiyi didn't complain at all.
Look at Chi Baiyi, and then look at her own husband.
He's useless at everything, but he's number one at throwing tantrums!
How could she have chosen a man like that!
Gao Li is angry. If I were him, I would be angry too. They didn't have much money to begin with, and Xu Miaotong spent it all without his permission. They've had nothing but vegetables to eat all day.
