Chapter 7: Is the mud making a rocket?
On the second floor, in the middle room.
Pushing open the brown and white solid wood door, a faint fragrance of grass and flowers wafts to your nose.
What comes into view is a neat and clean big bed, and the eyes move upwards.
There are two large transparent glass windows, and the unique pastoral scenery is right in front of you.
It was almost noon.
Spots of golden sunlight were scattered on the balcony, along with the purple ivy hanging down from the roof, casting mottled shadows of leaves.
Xu Wanci was the second one to choose a room. Unsurprisingly, the one on the third floor was chosen by Su Qingge. She also decisively chose the only room with a balcony on the second floor.
Now it seems that it was worth the choice!
The only drawback was that Bai Qingqing and her son, who were originally supposed to live on the first floor, moved next door. Luo Yu'an took the initiative to offer to swap rooms with them, not only for convenience but also for the safety of the mother and daughter.
Jiang Yan excitedly leaned on the balcony railing with his short legs, standing on tiptoe and looking around curiously.
Xu Wanci opened his luggage, took out the toiletries and put them back in their places. After finishing everything, he took Jiang Yan downstairs.
The living room is very large.
The empty space in the middle is covered with soft mats. The program team thoughtfully arranged a large area on the left side of the open space into a children's area, which is filled with many books and toys.
Luo Yuchen was sitting on the mat playing with toys.
On the right side is the kitchen, which is a semi-open design. At this time, only Luo Yu'an is busying around in it.
Letting Jiang Yan go play in the children's area, Xu Wanci walked into the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Knowing that she had packed her luggage, Luo Yu'an didn't hesitate to ask her to wash and dice the carrots and cucumbers in the sink.
Bai Qingqing went back to her room to clean up first. Before that, the two of them agreed to cook separately, each responsible for three dishes.
Xu Wanci rolled up his sleeves, rinsed the fruits and vegetables under the tap first, then peeled them. After peeling, he pressed them on the chopping board and cut them with the knife with swift movements.
Soon, the plate was filled with evenly sized diced fruits and vegetables.
[It's okay for Xu Wan to quit his job as a butcher. You can tell he usually cooks for himself.]
[Pretend to be dead. You must have practiced a lot in private for today [roll eyes]]
…
Jiang Yan came to the wooden cabinet where various toys were placed, and finally chose a box of city rocket building blocks in the upper corner.
I saw him open the box, take out the instruction manual, pour the building blocks into the tray, then put the instruction manual back into the box and started to put the blocks together.
There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room.
"Ah, my cousin has that box of building blocks. Isn't it the Lego set for 7+? Jiang Yan is only four and a half, right? Can he play with it?"
[I guess they were just playing around with it, and didn't necessarily follow the instructions.]
"No way, in just a moment, the base of the rocket launcher has come out. I think he should be able to do it, but this is too scary."
[It's a lucky blunder. If he can really figure it out, I'll wash my hair while standing upside down!]
[It's most likely that ugly woman Xu Wanci made him do this. Creating a child prodigy persona is a good way to hype things up. He's really working hard to become famous.]
…
If Xu Wanci saw it, he would only be surprised at Jiang Yan's amazing memory.
Because the Jiang family also has this box of building blocks, the finished product is placed in a glass cabinet in the toy room.
Jiang Yan was able to restore the device after just one try without even looking at the instructions. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the future villain in the book.
It’s really terrifying!
-
After a while, Su Qingge and Ji Wan came downstairs with the two children.
Similarly, let the children play in the living room while the adults go into the kitchen to help.
Yin Lingyi took a book and sat on the ground to read.
Jiang Huaiyue didn't want to read, so she took out a box of magnetic disks from the cabinet and sat down to build a house.
After a while, she felt a little bored and her eyes wandered between Luo Yuchen and Jiang Yan.
Then, she walked over to Jiang Yan and squatted down.
"Brother, are you spelling rockets?"
Jiang Huaiyue glanced at the thing in Jiang Yan's hand, then tilted her head to look at him, blinking her watery eyes.
Huaiyue is the youngest child in the variety show and just turned four years old.
"Um."
"Oh, can I play with you?"
Jiang Yan glanced at Jiang Huaiyue's eager expression, then glanced at the small house she had built, and replied, "Wait a moment."
Then he got up and left.
[Ah, does he dislike Jiang Huaiyue and doesn't want to play with her?]
[Jiang Yan is so selfish. These toys belong to the production team, right? Why don't they give them to her?]
[Putting myself in his shoes, I think Jiang Yan is right. He got it first, and he was already halfway through. Who would like to have the fruits of their labor ruined?]
[I don't care, a selfish mother raises a selfish son, low-quality artist Xu Wanci, take your stepson and get out of the variety show!]
While netizens were arguing, Jiang Yan came back with two boxes of building blocks.
He placed the boxes side by side in front of Jiang Huaiyue.
One is Peppa Pig’s Happy Home, and the other is also a rocket launcher.
"Which one do you want to play?"
Jiang Huaiyue's eyes were immediately drawn to Peppa Pig. He pointed at it and grinned, "I want to play this, brother!"
In the following time, Jiang Yan played with Jiang Huaiyue, but he did not interfere much and only gave her some reminders from time to time.
In the live broadcast room,
[Hats, speak up! Our Yanzizi is such a considerate and good kid, how could you slander him like that?!]
[Oh my god, Jiang Yan is so careful and patient. I don’t know if you noticed that Jiang Huaiyue was carrying a Peppa Pig shoulder bag in the morning. He probably guessed that his sister might like playing with it more.
Also, the two new boxes of building blocks I got are both for ages 4 and up, so the difficulty level is just right for my sister.
[Oh my god, if you say that to me, I'll be furious. Gentle, academic brother x energetic, adorable sister!]
[I cried. I also want a brother like this. My brother is just a big idiot who only knows how to steal my things!]
-
Lunch time.
The table was filled with exquisite dishes.
Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Pork Ribs, Shrimp and Tofu Soup, Cola Chicken Wings, and a big bowl of... vegetable salad.
[Hmm? I've been watching the kids in the living room. Can anyone tell me where this incongruous plate of fodder came from?]
[It was Bai Qingqing who did it. As for why, uh uh, I don’t understand.]
Time jumps back half an hour.
Bai Qingqing, who had agreed to cook three dishes by herself, did not come down for a long time after going upstairs, and Luo Yu'an also went back to the room to pack his luggage.
The three people who were free looked at each other.
If I go up and urge them, it will seem like I'm treating them like a chef; if I don't go, it's almost dinner time and I can't let the children go hungry.
Unable to make up their minds, they finally sat on the sofa and watched the baby.
Seeing that it was only half an hour before midnight, Su Qingge thought for a moment, went upstairs and knocked on the door to ask, "Qingqing, how is your luggage packing? Do you need any help?"
"Ah, no need, Teacher Su, we'll go down right away," Bai Qingqing shouted through the door.
Su Qingge responded and turned to go downstairs.
Soon, Bai Qingqing appeared with Qin Sheng, looking apologetic.
After tinkering in the kitchen for more than twenty minutes, someone announced that dinner was ready.
Everyone helped to bring out the dishes and provided bowls and chopsticks for the children to sit down.
Seeing everyone's eyes lingering on the vegetable salad, she apologized again, "I'm so sorry, time and cooking skills are limited, so I only had time to make two dishes. I hope you don't mind."
After saying that, she casually placed the cola chicken wings in her hand to the right and sat down on the left side of Su Qingge.
Xu Wanci on the opposite side noticed this scene and his eyes twitched slightly.
Thinking about how Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at her for no reason during the morning gathering, she understood.
fine.
No wonder he is targeting her so much, it seems he is Su Qingge's "toxic fan".
