Shen Mingyou was holding her daughter, who looked like a little clay figurine, and a wet feeling slowly spread over her shoulders.

Nian Nian cried very quietly, with her head buried in her mother's arms, and only small sobs could be heard. But the more she cried, the more heartbreaking it was.

"Niannian, shouldn't you be happy that mommy is back? Why are you crying?" Shen Mingyou wanted to lift up her daughter's face and take a good look at her, but Nian Nian nestled in her mother's arms and refused to raise her head.

Shen Mingyou raised his hand and used his thumb to wipe off the small spots of mud that had accidentally splashed on his daughter's face. He then touched her hair and found that it was also wet, obviously because she had just been caught in the rain.

"Niannian, stop crying and take a bath first, okay?" Shen Mingyou was afraid that her daughter would catch a cold, so she carried Nian Nian into the room and prepared to give her a hot bath first.

"I don't want to take a shower." Nian Nian hugged her mother's neck.

"You'll catch a cold if you don't take a bath." Shen Mingyou coaxed, "Mom brought you a gift. After you take a bath, let's open the gift together, okay?"

"I don't want any gifts." A muffled voice came from my arms.

"..." Shen Mingyou looked at the bad-tempered Nian Nian and asked, "What does Nian Nian want?"

Nian Nian finally raised her head from her mother's arms, looked at her with tears in her eyes and said, "I want you to never leave me again and stay with me every night."

She couldn’t see her mother when she was asleep, and she couldn’t see her mother when she woke up. Nian Nian was very scared. She was afraid that her mother would never come back, and that her mother would no longer want her.

Shen Mingyou wiped her daughter's tears and said, "Niannian, Mommy can promise you that before I leave home, I will tell her first. If I can't come back, I will contact her every day, okay?"

Shen Mingyou understands her daughter's anxiety. Nian Nian has never been separated from her mother since she was born. But as the child grows up, Nian Nian will go to school, and Shen Mingyou will be very busy with work. She will no longer be able to be with her daughter every day like before.

Nian Nian needs to grow up, and she also needs to grow up.

Seeing that her mother did not agree to her request, Nian Nian looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Doesn't mom love Nian Nian anymore?"

Nian Nian doesn’t understand. She used to be able to be with her mother every day, so why can’t she do that now? Is it because her mother doesn’t love her anymore?

Shen Mingyou was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sad. She looked at her daughter and said seriously, "Niannian, remember, Mommy loves you very much, and this will never change."

After hearing her mother say this, Nian Nian felt much better.

Shen Mingyou continued, "Nian Nian loves mom too. No matter what happens, she will always love mom, right?"

Although Nian Nian is not the kind of child who would always say "Mom, I love you", how could Shen Mingyou not know how much Nian Nian depends on her mother and how much she loves her mother? Her daughter just doesn't like to express it.

Hearing her mother's question, Nian Nian nodded firmly: "Yes." Of course she loved her mother. In this world, the person she loved most was her mother.

"So, just like Nian Nian loves her mother, her love for her is the same and will never change."

Nian Nian's eyes lit up. It turned out that her mother loved her just as she loved her mother. After knowing this, the fear and uneasiness in her heart seemed to disappear immediately.

Nian Nian felt sweet in her heart after being coaxed. She shyly hid in her mother's arms, curling up and down in her mother's arms like a cute little insect.

Shen Mingyou looked down at Nian Nian who was struggling in her arms, and soon she saw that her clothes were covered with yellow mud stains like Nian Nian's, and she was completely dirty.

[Nian Nian cries so pitifully. Sister Youzi can promise Nian Nian for now. We can talk about the future later. When Nian Nian grows up, she will naturally understand that it is impossible for her mother to be with her every day. What's the harm in coaxing her now?]

[In fact, Shen Mingyou's approach is quite good. She would not make promises about things that she cannot do, but she also clearly told Nian Nian that her mother loves her very much. This is really rare.]

[It has been so long since mom left, all the kids cried to some extent, but Nian Nian held back until mom came back, when she finally couldn’t hold back her tears. Now she is afraid that mom doesn’t love her anymore. It can be seen that Nian Nian is actually quite sensitive.]

[Hahaha, am I the only one focusing on Mr. Jiang who can't get a word in? Don't worry, brother-in-law Youzi, your beloved wife and children are by your side. At such a warm moment, all you need to do is give him a bear hug and say "I love you forever, too." Wouldn't the scene be even warmer? Hahaha!]

Shen Mingyou took her daughter to take a bath, blew her hair, changed her into clean clothes, and tied two cute little pigtails. The clean and refreshed little Nian Nian was finally back.

When Nian Nian sat on the sofa, she covered her mouth and sneezed. At this time, Jiang Chen finally came in handy. He came over from the side and handed a blanket to Shen Mingyou.

"Hurry up and put it on Nian Nian, don't let her catch a cold."

Shen Mingyou then turned her attention to him: "Why did you let Nian Nian get wet in the rain and get yourself covered in mud? Now you're worried that your daughter might catch a cold. What were you doing earlier?"

Jiang Chen explained: "...It was Nian Nian who was rebellious."

He wanted to stop his daughter from stepping into the mud, but he couldn't stop his rebellious daughter.

Nian Nian, who had been crying the whole time and forgot to tell her mother, heard her father complain first. She looked at her father with incredible big eyes, as if saying: How could Dad do this!

Nian Nian also wants to complain.

She nestled in her mother's arms, put her mouth close to her mother's ear, and whispered to her mother so that her father wouldn't hear.

"Mom, Dad is so stupid!" Nian Nian was the first to come up with the conclusion, and then she laid out her evidence one by one, "Dad forgot about Nian Nian's handkerchief and water bottle when he went out, stepped on Nian Nian's small fan, and even knocked over the watermelon juice all over Nian Nian. And, the food Dad cooked is so bad and so unpalatable..."

Finally, Nian Nian emphasized her conclusion again and tried to get her mother's approval: "Mom, do you think Dad is stupid?"

Jiang Chen: “…”

In order to prevent her father from hearing, Nian Nian spoke in a very low voice, but Jiang Chen was sitting at the other end of the sofa, very close to the mother and daughter, so no matter how softly his daughter spoke, every word of it still reached his ears.

Shen Mingyou looked at Nian Nian's lively appearance. She smiled and leaned close to her daughter's ear and whispered, "Well, Daddy is stupid. It's thanks to our smart Nian Nian that he is taken care of."

"Hehe." When Nian Nian heard her mother affirm her words and praised her for being smart, she covered her mouth and laughed until she fell into her mother's arms.

Jiang Chen, who was called stupid by his daughter and wife at the same time, said: "..."

[Hahaha, stupid CEO Jiang is not convinced. If you have the guts, just say it out loud. Why do you have to whisper? It’s fine if you whisper alone, but why do you have to let me hear it!]

[Nian Nian complaining: Baby has worked so hard to take care of stupid daddy.]

[Nian Nian, who smells sweet, is drowning in her mother's arms, snuggling with her and whispering to her. As for President Jiang, he can only sit on the other side of the sofa. It seems that there is a clear line between him and the warm scene here. On one side, there are laughter and joy, while on the other side, there is misery and sadness. Hahaha, please forgive me for laughing so unkindly!]

When Shen Mingyou came back, the other mothers also saw their precious children.

When Zhong Yao arrived, Zhao Yiyang happily fell into his mother's arms, and Zhao Heng also happily hugged his wife. The family of three shared what had happened in the past two days, and the scene was very warm.

On Fang Tang's side, the situation was in chaos.

When Fang Tang got home, his son Jiang Xu was being chased all over the house by his father Jiang Yuan.

Then he accidentally jumped onto his mother. Fang Tang, who pushed the door open, was hit by the little mud man. Her newly bought clothes and a white bag that she bought at a high price were all covered with mud marks.

"Mom, you're finally back, please save me!" Jiang Xu grabbed his mother's bag with one hand and her sleeve with the other. "Dad is going to hit me, please stop him, please save me, Mom!"

Jiang Yuan was very tired after chasing his son. When he saw his wife coming back, he sat down on the sofa, panting. He decided to leave the task of beating the child to his wife for the time being.

Fang Tang looked at the five muddy fingerprints on her bag, and then at Jiang Xu, who looked like he had rolled in mud, with mud all over his face, hair, hands, body, feet... Her heart sank, and she angrily grabbed her bag and hit the naughty kid on the butt.

"Jiang Xiaoxu, you are dead today!" Fang Tang, who had an astonishing lung capacity, roared, shocking Jiang Xu so much that he jumped several meters away.

"Mom, it's not my fault. It was Dad who insisted on chasing me that made me fall into the mud pit. It's all Dad's fault. If you want to hit me, hit Dad, not me!" Jiang Xu, don't run away or shout.

Jiang Xu was like a slippery little loach. Fang Tang was chasing him from behind while he ran away from the front. No one could catch him except throwing mud all over the room.

In the end, Fang Tang was as tired as her husband and sat down on the sofa, gasping for breath.

[Hahahaha Jiang Xiaoxu, do you want to make me laugh to death? It’s not your fault that you’re naughty, but it’s your fault that you’re naughty and funny, haha!]

[I have already taken a screenshot of Jiang Xu falling into a mud pit when being chased by his father. His face was covered in mud, like a mud doll. It really made me laugh to death!]

[The other scenes of reuniting with their mothers are all warm and touching, but Fang Tang’s is just a mess. It’s so joyful to watch!]

On the other hand, when Gu Effie arrived home, she was also warmly welcomed by the children.

Zhou Ziyu and Zhou Ziai hugged their mother's thighs on the left and right. Zhou Jingxing was also very happy to see his wife. At the beginning, the scene of the family reunion was also very warm.

However, Gu Aifei actually came back with a lot of anger.

When Zhou Jingxing was on the show this time, Gu Aifei discovered that his attitude towards the two children was different from usual.

He was too strict with his son Ziyu and too partial to his daughter Ai.

Normally at home, Zhou Jingxing was fairly impartial to the two children. His behavior on the show was indeed a bit strange, but at the time, Gu Aifei was only focused on winning over Shen Mingyou, and was only concerned with showing affection with Zhou Jingxing, so she didn't pay much attention to Zhou Jingxing's strange behavior.

But when she watched all the live broadcast footage of the show last night and this morning when she was away, she completely understood what Zhou Jingxing was doing.

He is using his daughter to create a "daughter slave" persona in order to consolidate his traffic and popularity in the circle.

Gu Aifei was very angry. Zhou Jingxing's behavior of taking advantage of the child really hurt her heart.

In the past few years, she and Zhou Jingxing have been working hard on their careers and have not had much time to take care of the family and spend very little time with their children. Fortunately, the two children are well-behaved and sensible. Every time they come home after filming, the children will warmly welcome their parents and are not at all unfamiliar with them.

Because of their secret marriage, the couple had to be careful whenever they went out with their children. They could not take their children to crowded places and could only hide with their children. As a mother, Gu Effie always felt guilty towards her two children, thinking that they, as parents, owed their children.

The reason for bringing the children to the show this time was, on the one hand, to show the outside world that they are friendly and that the children can walk around them openly without having to hide. On the other hand, they also wanted to spend more time with the children and make plans for their future at a time when it is best to become famous early and traffic is king.

Children are her bottom line, and Gu Effie will not tolerate anyone hurting her children.

But now, that person is Zhou Jingxing. She couldn't understand how Zhou Jingxing, as a father, could have the heart to take advantage of such good children.

Gu Aifei would not undermine her husband on the show. She planned to have a good talk with Zhou Jingxing after the show. But when Zhou Jingxing once again gave Ziyu the cold shoulder, Gu Aifei could not help but remind him, "You shouldn't be so strict with Ziyu. Don't think that three-and-a-half-year-old children don't understand anything. They are actually very sensitive to emotions."

It was just a kind reminder, but Zhou Jingxing didn't know what had suddenly gone mad, and he started to look cold at his wife: "It's okay for boys to be a little strict. If you can't stand it, I'll teach you a lesson."

Gu Aifei suddenly felt uncomfortable and her face turned cold: "Parents should treat their children equally. You are too lenient with Ziai. You spoil her blindly and leave her alone. This is not for the sake of the child. Instead, it will harm the child. The same goes for being strict with Ziyu. It would be fine if you were strict with the twins, but you are only strict with him. This will hurt Ziyu's heart..."

Zhou Jingxing had been taking care of two children by himself for such a long time. The children kept crying and making noises. He was already having a headache. He thought he could relax for a while after his wife came back, but he didn't expect to be scolded by his wife. He interrupted Gu Aifei and said, "Okay, you can teach the children however you want. I won't care about it anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room, going outside to calm down by himself.

Only Gu Aifei was left staring at his back in a daze.

[They were fine just now, why did they suddenly start arguing?]

[What does Zhou Jingxing mean by turning his head away? Gu Aifei is right. Children really understand a lot of things. When Ziyu told Nian Nian yesterday that his father didn’t like him, I knew that Ziyu understood everything.]

[At first I thought it was okay that Zhou Jingxing doted on his daughter and was strict with his son, but as I watched, I started to feel that it was a bit strange. Ziyu was a very good child and had a good relationship with Ziai. Zhou Jingxing’s treatment was too obvious and it seemed a bit fake…]

[What's wrong with those who criticize Zhou Jingxing? He has to take care of two children by himself, and they are the youngest among the five children. The twins cry the most. Don't say Zhou Jingxing is upset, I am also upset just watching them. He has taken good care of the children.]

[It is common for couples to have different ideas about educating children. There is no need to blame others for such a small matter.]

[Is it not okay to express different opinions? When watching variety shows about raising children, I want to see warm and cozy scenes, not couples quarreling. I’ll leave now.]

…

Soon it was time to make lunch. Today, everyone will have lunch at their own home, so there is no need for the guests to gather together.

Shen Mingyou tied on an apron, let Nian Nian play by herself, and went to the kitchen to start cooking, preparing to comfort Nian Nian's stomach which was hurt by her father's cooking skills yesterday.

The family she was staying with had already taken a nap early. The kitchen was clean and had all the necessary tools and seasonings.

While she was cutting vegetables, Jiang Chen followed in.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No need, go out and play with Nian Nian." Shen Mingyou saw that he was wearing a white shirt and didn't look like he was doing any work. Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't do much, so she let him go.

Jiang Chen turned and left.

Shen Mingyou ignored him, but after a while, Jiang Chen came into the kitchen again.

This time, he also wore an apron around his waist, and it had small floral patterns on it. It should be the apron that Jiang Chen borrowed from his host, and it looked new.

Jiang Chen, wearing a floral apron, walked over, took the vegetables she was washing from her hands, and said, "Let me wash them."

"..." Shen Mingyou watched him slowly roll up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, revealing his forearm muscles. Paired with his floral apron, he looked quite funny.

[Hey, Sister Yuzu, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and roll up Brother Yuzu’s sleeves. It would be even better if you could touch him, hahaha.]

[Mr. Jiang, you can’t do that. When you took the food from Sister Youzi just now, you only touched the food, and didn’t even touch Sister Youzi’s fingertips. This is your wife, who wants to see you being so gentlemanly? Just shake her hand!]

[Alas! Apart from the inevitable physical contact at sports events, I hardly saw any physical contact between the couple. Why are they so stingy? Sprinkling some candy is really free. Cat sighsjpg.]

[I have to compliment him: Mr. Jiang, who is 1.9 meters tall, looks very handsome in a floral apron!]

The audience didn’t know why. Maybe it was because Shen Mingyou and his wife were the most reserved among the four couples, or maybe it was because they looked so well matched, handsome and beautiful, that just standing there was very tense. So, when the audience saw the couple in the same frame, they wished they could hug each other immediately, and even better, a kiss would be even better…

So, one by one, they were like carrying a microscope, determined to find the couple's physical contact, and then they could scream "so sweet".

Jiang Chen noticed that there was a small basket of lemons in the vegetables he washed. After looking at the other ingredients, Jiang Chen seemed to have discovered something wrong.

"These ingredients..." Jiang Chen handed the washed ingredients to Shen Mingyou, seeming to be hesitant to talk.

Shen Mingyou asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the ingredients?"

All these ingredients were carefully selected by Shen Mingyou. When she was riding back in the program crew's car, she and other mothers bought them at the market specially in order to make a sumptuous lunch for the dads and babies who stayed at home at noon today.

"No problem." Jiang Chen shook his head.

This was probably the first time he had truly eaten a dish made by Shen Mingyou himself.

At dinner on the day he came to the show, everyone was busy in the kitchen except him. However, Shen Mingyou was mainly helping out that day, and the task of cooking was basically the responsibility of the two chefs, Zhou Jingxing and Jiang Yuan.

So far, he has never had a proper meal prepared by Shen Mingyou.

In the past, he refused to eat food when people cooked for him. Now that he wants to eat, he is too embarrassed to ask his wife to cook for him.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was looking forward to eating the meal prepared by his wife.

He shouldn't tell his wife what to do.

After Jiang Chen handed over the ingredients in his hand, he turned around and started doing other work. He didn't notice the smile of success on Shen Mingyou's face.

[Why is Sister Yuzu smiling a little weird?]

[I don’t know. Mr. Jiang specifically asked about the ingredients. Is there something wrong with the ingredients?]

When Shen Mingyou was cooking, Jiang Chen was helping her.

But Jiang Chen was obviously not a good assistant. He couldn't tell the difference between sugar and salt, or between dark soy sauce and light soy sauce. Apart from slowing down her cooking progress because of the wrong seasonings, Shen Mingyou couldn't think of any use for such a big guy standing in the narrow kitchen.

"Just stand there and don't move." Shen Mingyou was forced to speak. She couldn't do it well, and she couldn't rush him away. His greatest use was that he could just stand there and not cause her any trouble.

Jiang Chen also realized that he seemed to be of little help. He had only been to the kitchen a few times in his life, and he was really not good at kitchen work, but he didn't want to leave.

There was no air conditioning or fan in the kitchen. I saw that my wife's face was covered with sweat from the heat from cooking, and her hair was almost soaked with sweat.

Jiang Chen thought of something and ran out again.

After a while, Shen Mingyou felt a cool breeze on her back. She turned around and found Jiang Chen was fanning her with a palm-leaf fan.

Shen Mingyou first came here to record the program. He saw the elderly people sitting under the trees to cool off, and almost everyone had a fan in their hands. Only then did he know that there was such a fan called a cattail leaf fan, which was very powerful and very practical.

The palm-leaf fan in Jiang Chen's hand seemed to be borrowed from the landlord. Perhaps to make it sturdy and durable, the fan was wrapped with a cloth with small floral patterns, exactly the same as the fabric on Jiang Chen's apron.

Shen Mingyou turned around and continued to cook. The corners of her mouth curled up. She had never imagined that she would be cooking in the same kitchen with Jiang Chen.

[I hit it again and again. This must be true love. Although Mr. Jiang is not good at anything, he is the best at pampering his wife!]

[Okay, I am satisfied again. Although I didn’t see Mr. Jiang and his wife kissing, hugging, or lifting each other up high, I just thought it was so sweet!]

[Hahahaha, Mr. Jiang is wearing an expensive shirt and suit pants, but he has a floral apron around his waist and a floral fan in his hand. Although it's a bit comical, he's still very handsome!]

Shen Mingyou cooks very quickly. The soup has been stewing since early in the morning. The other dishes are relatively simple. After a short while, three dishes and one soup are ready and served on the table.

Lemon shrimp, lemon chicken feet, beef in sour tomato soup, sour radish duck soup.

The color is bright, the taste is delicious, and it makes people drool at the sight of it.

Nian Nian was already holding her chopsticks, waiting impatiently.

Jiang Chen picked up the chopsticks but hesitated to put them down.

Shen Mingyou picked up a peeled shrimp for Nian Nian, and picked up another shrimp for Jiang Chen and put it in his bowl. "Eat it. What's wrong? Did I cook it badly?"

"No, I haven't tasted it yet." Jiang Chen put the lemon shrimp into his mouth and chewed it.

acid.

Shen Mingyou immediately gave him another piece of lemon chicken feet: "Try this one."

Jiang Chen swallowed the shrimp in his mouth and put the chicken feet into his mouth.

Very sour.

There should be a little bit of shredded lemon flesh mixed into the boneless chicken feet, and it tastes really sour with the lemon juice.

Finally, Shen Mingyou picked up another piece of sour radish for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen swallowed it in one gulp.

Very sour.

It's so sour that my teeth are about to fall out.

Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian have similar tastes. They like sour, sweet, and sour-sweet food. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, basically cannot eat sour food. The most he can accept is sweet and sour spare ribs, and the sour taste must be less so that it is covered by the sweetness for him to eat it.

The dishes on today's table were, of course, to tease Jiang Chen. Who asked him to take care of his daughter yesterday and turn her from a clean and tidy little dumpling into a dirty and messy little dumpling!

The way she thought of to tease Jiang Chen was to deliberately make today's dishes a little sour, preferably enough to make Jiang Chen's teeth fall out from the sour taste.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to leave his seat and find a trash can to spit out the food, Shen Mingyou's voice reached his ears: "A good father should set a good example for his children and not waste food."

"Nian Nian, you're right, right?"

Nian Nian swallowed the shrimp in her mouth and said, "Mom is right. That's how Nian Nian educated Dad yesterday."

Nian Nian’s favorite dish is sour shrimp. Her mother also likes it. Nian Nian picked up a shrimp for her mother.

As for Dad, he seems to be unable to eat sour food.

But Nian Nian was a good and filial child, so she didn't favor one over the other. She picked up some food for her mother and also for her father, so she picked up a sour shrimp for her father as well: "Dad, eat more."

Jiang Chen: “…”

[I knew that Mr. Jiang was in danger. It turns out that Sister Youzi is waiting here.]

[Hahaha, Mr. Jiang, who can’t eat sour food, was bullied by Nian Nian yesterday and bullied by his wife today. I have to say: Mr. Jiang is so miserable!]
