Chapter 5: The Rich Family's Substitute Son 5: Cabin No. 2
Shen Qian explained, "Room 2 is closer to the center of the village, so it's more convenient to bring in things. The land behind the house is fertile, unobstructed, and has good light. The roof of the small house on the hillside may need repairs, and the land next to it is more weedy, so the extra work will be more."
Fu Yuanbo said nothing more.
My adoptive mother comes from the countryside, so it's normal that she knows a lot.
Fang Yuyun, who had just spoken out to find fault, was left aside by Fu Yuanbo, her brows slightly furrowed.
Fu Zhongyan noticed this and couldn't help but say, "Fu Yuanbo, what's wrong with you? Your mother is talking to you."
Fu Yuanbo finally turned around and asked, "Huh? What did you just say?"
Fang Yuyun felt annoyed. She had originally thought that Fu Yuanbo would lose his composure as long as Shen Qian appeared at the recording site. Unexpectedly, not only did Fu Yuanbo not lose control of his emotions, but even Shen Qian's performance surprised her.
A village woman actually performed well in the tacit understanding segment, and her relationship with Fu Yuanbo did not seem as bad as imagined.
There was only a hint of intimacy between the two, and the plot didn't seem to be developing in the way she had hoped.
Fang Yuyun had no choice but to give up: "Nothing." There was a hint of impatience in her tone.
After the houses were allocated, the four groups of guests returned home.
It takes only about 10 minutes to walk from Cabin 1 to Cabin 2, which is very close.
Fu Yuanbo was originally in a good mood, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
Compared with Cabin No. 4, Cabin No. 2 is indeed slightly better in all aspects, but there is one key point: it is closer to Cabin No. 1 where Fu Zhongyan lives.
Maybe she has some thoughts but can't show them today because there are so many people around. Maybe she will try to find a way to get in touch with Fu Zhongyan alone later.
When he thought of this, Fu Yuanbo felt a little uncomfortable in his chest.
She was obviously just his adoptive mother, and they hadn't seen each other for so long. He didn't know what he cared about.
At this time, Shen Qian walked in front and opened the system panel, and found that the favorability of this cheap son towards her had been fluctuating.
[+1-1+3-2-1+2-1-1…]
Good boy, the fluctuations are still there, but in the end, the overall favorability is still only 20.
All right……
Shen Qian thought that since the variety show had just started recording, she could find a way to cultivate a good relationship with him later.
To be honest, making money is what she is good at, and she is also good at farming. After all, she has experienced a lot in the previous quick-travel mission, but she is not good at raising children.
Thinking of this, Chen Qian looked back and saw Fu Yuanbo had been following her. He looked very worried and was about ten steps behind her.
What’s more, he is a child with a sensitive personality like Fu Yuanbo.
If it's difficult to raise, just let it go. What else can you do?
By the time Fu Yuanbo finally arrived at Cabin No. 2, his mood had already reached its lowest point. He found a chair in the yard and sat down, looking exhausted, but his eyes still unconsciously followed Chen Qian who was wandering around.
She went into the kitchen to search, then went to the back of the house, and no one knew what she was busy with.
This scene seemed strangely familiar. When he was a child, he spent most of his time working in South City with Shen Qian, but sometimes she would take him back to the countryside. He didn't remember many scenes of the two of them getting along, but he could still remember the scene where he was bullied by the big white goose at home, and he cried loudly in fear, and then Shen Qian protected him behind her.
He felt inexplicably bad. The woman had probably forgotten him long ago, but he just happened to still remember her.
Fu Yuanbo sat for a while, then, seeing that she had gone to the back of the house and hadn't returned, he became restless. He wanted to follow her, but couldn't move his legs. The moment of tacit cooperation between him and his adoptive mother during the game just now flashed through his mind, and he stood up uncontrollably, striding towards the back of the house.
At this time, Shen Qian had carefully checked the condition of the land. It had good fertility and could be used for planting directly. However, there were currently no vegetables on the land, and the ingredients for tonight's dinner had not been found yet.
She had just checked the kitchen and found that there were some commonly used seasonings in the kitchen and there was rice left in the rice jar, but other than that, there was nothing else.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. If the production team didn't arrange dinner and ingredients, I would have to find a way myself.
To be on the safe side, Shen Qian checked with the staff, and sure enough, if they were not notified in advance, they would have to find their own way to get the ingredients for the meals.
After learning this information, Shen Qian walked back. Halfway through, she saw Fu Yuanbo standing by the field and looking at her.
Shen Qian walked straight over and said nothing when she passed Fu Yuanbo.
Fu Yuanbo: “…”
The young man followed behind her, his lips slightly raised again. She treated him as if he were air. It turned out that he was overthinking it. She only had her biological son Fu Zhongyan in her heart.
It was totally unnecessary for him to follow along.
Fu Yuanbo was secretly regretting his mistake when he heard Shen Qian ask, "Can you chop wood?"
"No." The boy lowered his head.
"If you don't know how, you can learn. Just find a teaching video online." Shen Qian said.
“No.”
If the previous sentence "I can't" can be considered a statement of fact, then this sentence "I won't learn" obviously carries some emotion.
Chen Qian didn't know what was wrong with Fu Yuanbo: "The production team won't arrange the ingredients for tonight. We have to figure it out on our own. I'll figure out the ingredients, and your task is to chop wood. It will be much faster if we divide the work."
Fu Yuanbo: "...You won't starve to death if you skip a meal."
Shen Qian finally turned around and looked at him: "What about tomorrow morning? There's nothing to eat. Chop more firewood. We'll need it tomorrow too."
When Fu Yuanbo turned the corner, he saw Chen Qian changed his shoes, carrying a bucket, then took out a fishing rod from the warehouse and went out directly.
Fu Yuanbo: “…”
He was in a bad mood and it was impossible for him to chop wood, not in his lifetime.
In fact, the reason why Shen Qian assigned work to Fu Yuanbo was not because she couldn't do it alone, but mainly to give him the opportunity to perform and work. In the original book, the reason why Fu Yuanbo was blackened by the entire network was not only because he was a big shot, but also because he didn't work and threw everything to others. He would rather starve to the point of fainting from hypoglycemia than refuse to eat out of spite.
Since Shen Qian has become his mother, she will naturally not let the original plot happen.
But Fu Yuanbo was too stubborn. Even if she forced him to do it, he might not be willing to do it. She just mentioned it to the point. Anyway, the recording of the variety show had just begun, and there would be plenty of opportunities to talk to him properly later.
After Shen Qian checked the land behind the house and the warehouse and kitchen, he found that there were only staple foods. Fortunately, there were fishing gear in the warehouse. He took the fishing rod and bucket, along with the earthworms he had just dug in the field and some cornmeal found in the kitchen, and went out to the river.
[Wait, the other groups of guests are still resting, why are these people... picking up their fishing rods and going out? What are they doing? ]
[Wow, Ms. Shen is awesome. I just came here from another live broadcast room. Other groups thought the program team would arrange dinner, but she had already figured out the situation and went fishing by the river.]
[Although I don't think she can catch it, it's always good to take the initiative to try. ]
[Hahaha, the other groups seem like idyllic travel programs, only this group is a farming program. ]
[Fu Yuanbo, are you okay? Your mother went fishing. Why did you collapse again when I asked you to chop wood? ]
[That’s right, I don’t even know how to help. ]
[I think Fu Yuanbo did nothing wrong. Fishing is not that easy. He is just making a fuss. He might as well rest here and think of a solution.]
Before they knew it, the live broadcast room of Fu Yuanbo and Shen Qian was not very popular. Everyone loved to watch celebrity mothers taking care of their second-generation children. Only Fu Yuanbo's fans and some passers-by were in the live broadcast room. When Shen Qian went to the river with his fishing rod, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to increase.
Fu Yuanbo slumped in a chair, sitting in the yard, but he didn't feel very well.
His mood was uneasy and fluctuating all day long.
Instead of chopping wood as Shen Qian instructed, he tossed and turned in his chair, thinking about it all the time. He took out his phone to watch short videos, but his hands seemed to be out of control as he searched for videos of chopping wood, watching one and then the next.
"What's the most important thing when chopping wood? It's safety. Using a wooden wedge to chop wood is not only efficient, but also less likely to hurt your hands..."
"Come and follow me. The way you hold the axe is very important. Keep your feet apart and keep your center of gravity steady—"
Fu Yuanbo stared at the screen intently, his mind unconsciously thinking about what he should do.
Netizens in the live broadcast room noticed this detail with their sharp eyes.
[Hey? Fu Yuanbo is watching the Picha video?]
[It seems to be true. ]
[It's so funny. Although I say I won't learn, my body is still quite honest. 】
[Look at his hands. After he put down his phone, he gestured twice. It's clear that he is learning.]
[@傅远泊, stop gesturing, just stand up and practice and you will know what to do. ]
[Hahahahaha, the young master of the Fu family has the toughest mouth of all.]
[Hey, please restrain yourself. Don’t you think this kid has any dignity? ]
By the time Fu Yuanbo reacted, he had unknowingly watched more than ten instructional videos on chopping wood. He quickly changed the keywords and watched the game videos impatiently.
At this time, Chen Qian had already walked along the path to the river. In April, various wild flowers could be seen everywhere, and the scene seemed full of vitality.
Chen Qian went along the river and came to a river bay, where there were abundant aquatic plants and the water flow was slow. Based on her previous survival experience, she thought it was more likely that there were fish in such a river bay.
She squatted down and observed for a while, then saw fish swimming among the rocks and seaweeds underwater. She curled her lips in satisfaction, it seemed that dinner was settled tonight.
Chen Qian took out the contents of the bucket, scooped some river water into the bucket, then adjusted the fishing line to the appropriate length, and then skillfully rolled the cornmeal into a ball and hung it on the fishhook.
She stood up and swung the fishing rod. The fishing line drew a beautiful arc and fell into the water, causing a circle of ripples.
The whole set of movements is smooth and seamless.
