Nan Yuanman quickly jumped down from the small stool, ran to the stone vat, scooped up a basin of water, and ran into the kitchen with the basin in his arms.
The kitchen was filled with smoke. Nan Yuanman was so choked by the black smoke that she had to close her eyes. All she could hear was Feng Langqing coughing. His voice was full of surprise: "Yuanman? How did you get in—!!"
"Splash!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Langqing was drenched in water.
After splashing water, Nan Yuanman hurriedly grabbed Feng Langqing's hand and pulled him outside, saying, "Third brother, there's a fire! Come out with me quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Langqing was both amused and exasperated. He first carried Nan Yuanman out of the kitchen, coughed several times, and then explained in a hoarse voice, "It didn't catch fire because I couldn't light it, so I added more firewood..."
However, the fire still didn't light, but it did produce a lot of smoke.
Nan Yuanman, who was still holding a basin, froze: "Huh?"
The viewers in the live stream were laughing hysterically.

[I never imagined there were things even a movie star like Feng Yingdi couldn't do. I thought he could do everything.]
[Hahaha! This pair, one big and one small, one soaking wet and the other filthy, look just like little beggars.]
Feng Congqian, who had also gotten up early to watch the live stream, coldly commented: "[Useless.]"
If he were here, he could definitely start the fire and wouldn't make Yuanman worry.
It seems he hasn't had enough wilderness survival training. When Feng Langqing returns, he'll have to put him through a lot of hard training!
Nan Yuanman hadn't expected this to be a misunderstanding. She looked at Feng Langqing, hesitant to speak, and finally sighed like a little adult, reaching out to pat his shoulder: "Alright, let Yuanman do it then."
Feng Langqing voiced his doubt: "Can you start a fire?"
"Of course! Grandpa said that Yuanman is a fire-starting expert!" Nan Yuanman patted her little chest, afraid that Feng Langqing wouldn't believe her, she twisted her body and jumped down from his arms, running into the messy kitchen.
She went straight to the stove, took out the firewood that was haphazardly stuffed inside, and stuffed the smaller pieces of firewood back in, making a grid pattern in the stove. Then she picked up a plastic bag, lit it, and stuffed it in.
Within half a minute, the flame was successfully lit.
Feng Langqing: "!!!"
Without hesitation, Feng Langqing gave Nan Yuanman a thumbs up: "Yuanman, you're amazing! You're incredible!"
The little girl smiled demurely, but the curve of her lips couldn't be controlled and grew wider.
While waiting for the water to heat up, Feng Langqing and Nan Yuanman changed into clean clothes and headed to the elementary school playground for a battle to grab ingredients.
When they arrived, the other four groups of guests had already arrived, with the adults standing on one side and the children on the other.
Jiang Xinxin still looked at Nan Yuanman with disdain, but knowing there were cameras around, she snorted and turned her face away, not picking a fight with her.
Su Hu excitedly waved his paw at Nan Yuanman: "Yuanman, little sister! Come quick!"
Meng Juanjuan smiled gently, while Lin Le'an kept his hands in his pockets, looking like a cool guy.
After greeting Feng Langqing, Nan Yuanman ran over.
Su Hu grabbed Nan Yuanman and asked her excitedly, "Yuanman, did you sneak out on an adventure this morning? Can you take me with you next time?"
Nan Yuanman replied in a childish voice, "No, Yuanman isn't going on an adventure, Yuanman is going to see the village ancestral hall."
"I can't take you there, it's too dangerous,"
"What is a village shrine? Where is it?" Su Hu became even more excited upon hearing this, chattering on and on with a barrage of questions. Then, patting his chest, he said, "Sister Yuanman, you don't understand. A real man should venture into dangerous places!"
"If you don't take me with you, then I'm not a man!"
Nan Yuanman paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "If you're not a man, will you turn into a girl?"
Su Hu scratched his head: "Probably?"
Lin Le'an, who overheard their conversation, was speechless.
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Childish."
Meng Juanjuan remained as quiet as ever.
Director Ge came out with a megaphone. When he saw the familiar handbag on Nan Yuanman's body, he paused for a moment, then pretended not to see anything and looked away: "Alright, now that all the guests have arrived, our game is about to begin."
The staff took out five apples and handed them to the children.
Director Ge: "The children need to reach the finish line with apples on their heads. Whoever gets there first gets to choose the ingredients for today's meal!"
As he spoke, he pointed forward to a wooden table with some common ingredients on it, including eggs, flour, noodles, vegetables, and a few pieces of pork.
Nan Yuanman hadn't eaten anything all morning. She stared at the meat on the table, swallowed hard, and quickly put an apple on her head.
Su Hu was also starving, and taking advantage of the director and staff not paying attention, he took a bite.
Su Yilan's vision went black: "Su Hu!!"
Su Hu guiltily placed a half-eaten apple on his head, and the other children got ready as well.
The staff member took out a small handgun and pointed the muzzle at the sky.
Director Ge: "Okay, ready! Action!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yuanman ran off with her short legs, and Jiang Xinxin quickly followed, holding her breath.
Nan Yuanman practiced martial arts with Grandpa Nan from the time she could walk, and running with an apple on her head was a piece of cake for her.
She used to practice her kung fu while balancing a teacup on her head!
Jiang Xinxin was different. After running a few steps, the apple on her head started to shake and fell to the ground with a thud. She hurriedly went to pick it up.
Meng Juanjuan didn't dare to run away. She walked slowly with the apple on her head, which swayed precariously.
Lin Le'an was relatively stable, but he still had to adjust the apple on his head after taking a few steps.
Su Hu dropped the apple after running only two steps, and like Jiang Xinxin, he scrambled to pick it up.
The adults were incredibly tense watching, clenching their fists and shouting encouragement.
Feng Langqing's face flushed with excitement: "Almost there! Go for it, perfect!"
Jiang Chuyun's gaze was originally on Jiang Xinxin, but when she saw that short and stocky figure, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to her.
Jiang Xinxin's face turned red. She was unwilling to let Nan Yuanman win first place, so she kicked the apple in frustration while picking it up, sending it flying to Nan Yuanman's feet.
Feng Langqing: "!!!"
He hurriedly shouted, "Yuanman! Watch your step!"
The playground in the countryside is different from the one in the city. The ground is uneven and full of small stones. If you fall, you'll definitely get bruised and battered, and you might even be disfigured!
The other adults also became anxious.
Feng Congqian, who was watching the live stream, stood up and stared nervously at the little figure on the screen who was about to step on the apple.
The apple appeared so suddenly that it was too late for Nan Yuanman to react. She simply focused her energy in her dantian, her face flushed, and stomped her little foot down hard.
With a snap, the apple was crushed into pieces by her foot.
She slid forward a couple of times due to inertia, and the apple on her head rolled with her movement, falling to the ground with a thud and rolling forward.
Nan Yuanman: "Ah! My apple!"
Seeing that Nan Yuanman was out of danger, Feng Langqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not hold back any longer. He turned around, grabbed Jiang Chuyun's collar, and punched him angrily!
