Three chapters in one
Around ten o'clock, Zhou Yi came down the mountain with a pile of pig grass on his back, slightly bent over, and deliberately passed by the place where he met Jiaojiao yesterday.
He carefully inspected the area, but when he didn't find the little figure from yesterday, he lowered his brows a little disappointedly, looking at the handful of rice bubbles wrapped in leaves in his hand.
The scientific name of this rice bubble is Bletilla striata. It is a small thing that looks like a wild white strawberry. It is very sweet and is a sweet snack for children in rural areas.
However, this is just a snack for other children in the village, but for Zhou Yi it is a kind of food that can fill his stomach.
Today, when Zhou Yi was picking rice to fill his stomach on the mountain as usual, he unexpectedly thought of Jiaojiao. He resisted the urge to eat the rice bubbles he picked, and specially saved a large handful. He brought it down with joy to give to Jiaojiao.
Unfortunately, Jiaojiao was not there. After feeling lost for a while, Zhou Yi grabbed the rice and stuffed it into his mouth. If he didn't eat it outside, he would not have any share when he brought it back.
Knowing this well, Zhou Yi ate while striding towards home, not daring to delay his return at all.
After returning home, Zhou Yi put down the pig grass on his back and started to chop the grass and cook pig food. While cooking the pig food, he turned around and went into the house to take out the clothes that his grandfather and brother had changed and wash them.
The washed clothes were hung in the yard to dry. Seeing that the pig food was ready, Zhou Yi scooped out the pig food without stopping, stirred it, and let it cool.
It was around eleven o'clock when everything was done, and Zhou Yi finally had some free time.
He walked into the kitchen, took a look at the empty porridge pot, and scraped the edge of the pot with a rice spoon for two or three minutes before scraping out half a spoonful of rice soup.
After drinking half a spoonful of rice soup carefully, he turned on the fire again, poured some water into the pot of porridge, and then cooked the washed wild vegetables in. After a while, he had a pot of wild vegetable porridge.
He quickly drank the drink to fill his hungry stomach, washed the pots and dishes, prepared lunch casually, and went to the field with a hoe beside him.
While Zhou Yi was working hard in the field under the scorching sun, Jiaojiao and others got up, had lunch and started preparing to start filming.
Under the official website of Time and Space Zaizai, netizens who have been waiting impatiently are rubbing their hands and shouting for the director to open the live broadcast room quickly.
The live broadcast room was officially opened at 13:00, and many netizens who were slacking off flocked into the room and enthusiastically expressed their love to their brothers, sisters, and children.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the time and space." Director Wu has inherited Director Zhu's down-to-earth loudspeaker very well, and is currently shouting.
"We were invited by Changli Village to participate in their biennial Firefly Festival. The Firefly Festival is in two months, so we will need to stay here during these two months, and the village will also provide us with living supplies."
"Of course, we can't take advantage of other people's villages for nothing, so now we have two tasks that need to be completed together in the next two months."
The director gave two tasks, one was farming and the other was planting flowers.
The program crew rented three acres of land from the village, two acres for growing corn and peanuts, and one acre for growing flowers.
The money from selling the crops produced from these three acres of land will be used as compensation for the supplies provided to the village.
Of course, in order to prevent people from being lazy, the program team will issue tasks related to farming, and then distribute work points based on the work done by everyone every day. The work points are the money they use to pay the program team and exchange for supplies with people in the village.
Yes, these guests have to pay the program team a total of 20 work points every day.
These twenty work points are called basic work points, which include the basic necessities of housing, water, electricity, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and seasonings provided by the program team to the guests.
Of course, in order to increase the sense of urgency and competition of the program, the program team will add a time limit to their tasks, such as clearing the straw, branches, stones and other debris in the field within one day, or completing the soil plowing work within three days, etc.
As long as they complete the task within the specified time, they can use the houses, rice, flour and other daily necessities provided by the program team for free.
Therefore, the next ten guests, both big and small, need to independently choose the tasks they need to complete in the next two months.
After some discussion, Lu Yian finally suggested that boys, as they are stronger, should be responsible for the more tiring work of planting crops, while girls, as they are more careful and relatively weaker, should be responsible for planting flowers.
No one had any objection to this distribution. After all, it was indeed the most reasonable distribution.
However, this most reasonable distribution caused a small problem when it came to the young guests. After listening to the adults, four-year-old Cao Yuhao and five-year-old Mu Yichen said without a doubt that they were little men and also wanted to farm.
Five-year-old Shi Huairou and four-and-a-half-year-old Lou Yaoyao belonged to the flower-planting group.
When it comes to Jiaojiao, there are some problems. From an objective point of view, Jiaojiao is a boy and should be assigned to the farming group. However, in terms of strength and some aspects, he looks only two years old and is more suitable to stay in the flower planting group.
Jiaojiao was very confused and dissatisfied that Uncle Lu Yian assigned her to the flower-growing group.
"Jiaojiao is a boy and needs to farm with his father." He looked up at Uncle Lu Yian and said very seriously.
Lu Yian squatted down and said with a smile: "But Jiaojiao is too young. You know, the farming team is very tiring, and the flower planting team is relatively easier. How about Jiaojiao going to the flower planting team?"
"No." Jiaojiao shook her head slightly, trying hard to argue for herself: "Jiaojiao is not tired, Jiaojiao is farming."
When Lu Yian was about to say something, Li Yubai bent down and picked up Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, come with me..."
He had barely finished speaking when Xiao Tiancheng, standing beside him, took over the conversation, "The director assigns daily tasks based on the number of people. Although I didn't mean to do that, bringing Jiaojiao into the farming group is indeed a bit of a burden. If the tasks aren't completed, you'll still have to pay twenty work points, and everyone won't have enough to eat."
Xiao Tiancheng's words were supported by many netizens in the live broadcast room. The water army and black fans who were looking for opportunities came out again, not missing any opportunity to discredit and ruin Li Yubai's reputation as a passerby.
"Although Jiaojiao is indeed very cute, Xiao is also right. Jiaojiao is not only useless in the farming team, but will also be a burden to everyone."
"It's fine if the child is ignorant, but what's wrong with this Li? Is he going to make everyone pay for his child's willfulness?"
"That's right, why not just help to persuade the child, but also make things more complicated, does that mean he cares about the child?"
"You have to really love your child to not want him to be in the farming group."
"This is a show of wanting to be a good father, but then you end up being a bad parent?"
'I hate this kind of person the most. He is so willful and doesn't care about other people's feelings. He forces others to pay for his actions.'
"That's right, just when I developed a crush on this Li, he's courting death again!"
"See, he didn't hold it in for long before his true nature was revealed. This live reality show is the best way to reveal a person's character. He should learn from Lu Yian and Xiao Tiancheng..."
"I told you back then that a child couldn't possibly be so obedient. Look, he's become wayward now..."
The passersby in the live broadcast room who originally had some good feelings towards Li Yubai were brainwashed by the black fans, and their good feelings disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by disgust towards the bear parents and the older giant baby.
Inside the mushroom house, Jiaojiao, who hadn't understood what was going on, looked up at her father and asked in a childish voice, "Dad, what is a burden?"
"Nothing," Li Yubai said, raising his eyelids to glance at Xiao Tiancheng without emotion. He said flatly, "Burden? That means if the basic work points were deducted because of Jiaojiao and me, then I will make up for it with my own work points. Similarly, this rule applies to each of you. How do you think?"
Before Lu Yian could say anything, Xiao Tiancheng, who had been looking for Li Yubai for a long time, agreed immediately: "Okay, it's settled. Whoever delays the task and has their basic work points deducted will make up for it with their own work points. It's very fair and just."
Xiao Tiancheng agreed and even pretended to be fair and just. Now he was hesitant to refute.
Lu Yian, Chen Yingke, and Shi Yue were silent for a while, then agreed to this rule.
The rules were set, and the distribution was completed. Everyone walked out according to the instructions, intending to see the land they would be working on for the next two months.
Their land is not far away, only about twenty minutes away from the mushroom house.
After the director gave them a rough outline of the land they were going to farm, Xiao Tiancheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is three acres of land really that big?"
Wouldn't it take forever to plant this?
The director smiled and said, "Three mu of land is quite normal. Most village families have dozens or even hundreds of mu of land. Although farming has become much easier with the help of machines in modern times, in ancient times, a family of over 70 mu of land would have to cultivate it purely through labor."
"Because we're relatively poor, the program team can only provide some daily farm tools like hoes, plows, and harrows for everyone. We can't rely on machines."
The guests present all looked at the director with contempt at his gloating smile.
You can tell at first glance that this director has a bad fate. No wonder he loses so little hair and has to wear a wig every day.
Shi Yue, who could tell at a glance that the director was wearing a wig, couldn't bear to see the director so happy, so she covered her mouth and smiled: "Director, your wig is out."
For cameramen who have been good at capturing various famous scenes for a long time, the habit of capturing some special scenes seems to have been integrated into their instincts. Almost at the moment when Shi Yue finished speaking, several generations of cameras subconsciously turned to the director.
Then the director was filmed completely with an embarrassed look on his face as he covered his head with his hands.
Even though the director's wig video was not actually revealed, it did not stop netizens from laughing and making fun of the director's wig video in various ways.
The director, realizing he had been tricked, pretended to be calm and said, "The wind is so strong! You guys should take advantage of the cool breeze and clear the weeds, straw, rocks and other debris from the fields today."
Shi Yue, with a smile on her face: "..."
As expected, the smiles on Lu Yian and others' faces froze.
Li Yubai, holding Jiaojiao in his arms, glanced at the scorching sun in the sky. "It's so hot at noon, it's very easy to get heatstroke when working in the fields. Old farmers know to avoid working during this time, so the director must be joking with us."
Shi Yue, having messed up, quickly continued Li Yubai's words, "So that's how it is. I was wondering if I saw anyone working in the fields along the way. I didn't realize they were avoiding working during this time because they were afraid of getting heatstroke."
Chen Yingke reacted and said, "I see. The director is so kind that he must not want us to complete the task under the scorching sun, so it must be a joke, right?"
The director, completely unaware that farmers deliberately avoided working during the midday hours, nodded with a stern face. He then secretly glanced around the fields. Seeing that no one was working, he coughed and said seriously, "Just now, I was testing your familiarity with farming. Now you've passed the test."
"Now let's start issuing the main task: clear the three acres of land of straw, weeds, stones and other debris."
"There are a total of 150 work points for cleaning up the debris. The work points will be distributed according to the amount of work you do. The person who cleans the largest area will receive more work points."
"Additional task: If you complete the task of clearing the fields before tomorrow's dinner, the production team will not charge you any basic points. If you fail to complete it within the specified time, you will have to pay us today's and tomorrow's basic points, a total of forty."
After understanding the rules, Shi Yue and others looked at the vast three acres of land in front of them with distress, and they felt very worried.
But no matter how worried I am, the sun is too scorching now, so I'll go back and hide for a while.
Time slowly slipped forward. I took a nap and then got up to move around for a while. Around 3:30 in the afternoon, a group of people came towards the fields carrying bamboo baskets and hoes.
Facing the fields that seemed too vast, while the adults were still sighing in their hearts, Cao Yuhao and several other children had already jumped down happily, cheering.
After being put down by her father, Jiaojiao, who was cheering in her little voice like Cao Yuhao, came to the edge of the field and jumped down without hesitation, imitating Cao Yuhao. As expected, she lost her balance and fell forward.
The soil in the fields was very soft, so Li Yubai was not afraid at all of getting hurt from falling.
Jiaojiao, who was not hurt from the fall, stood up from the ground, patted her dirty hands and trouser legs, then turned to look at her father who was still at the edge of the field, and beckoned with her little paws, "Daddy, come down quickly."
Li Yubai lowered his head and slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. He picked up the hoe beside him and went down to the field.
Xiao Tiancheng and Lu Yian followed closely and went down to the field.
Work in the fields has always been boring and tiring. It may feel a bit exciting at the beginning, but after a while, once the novelty wears off, fatigue and soreness will spread throughout the body.
The adults were fine, but the spoiled children couldn't stand it anymore. Cao Yuhao was the first one to run out of the ridge and sit under the shade of a tree to play with dogtail grass. No matter how Xiao Tiancheng, who was standing in the field, shouted, he pretended not to hear.
Xiao Tiancheng, who was unable to call back Cao Yuhao in the fields, obviously did not expect this, otherwise he would not have said in front of everyone that Jiaojiao would be a burden to them.
Now Jiaojiao was still picking up stones with a small bamboo basket on her back, but Cao Yuhao just gave up.
Not long after Cao Yuhao, Shi Huairou also came out from the field.
This little girl, who has always been gentle and generous, now has two black marks on her face, and her originally clean and beautiful sportswear is covered with a lot of mud.
At this moment, she was sitting under the shade of a tree, holding a tissue, frowning and wiping the dirt off her shoes.
After a while, the only little guests left in the field were Mu Yichen and Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao was carrying a small bamboo basket to pick up stones. He could not carry it anymore after filling the basket halfway. He put the basket on the ground, picked up the stones and ran back to put them back in the basket.
Mu Yichen was also picking up stones, but he was stronger than Jiaojiao, and he could even carry a bamboo basket and pick up stones while walking.
"Brother Mumu, you are so awesome to be able to carry such heavy things." Jiaojiao said as she put the stones in the bamboo basket and ran back to pick up the stones.
Mu Yicheng's tone was filled with a hint of pride: "Jiaojiao, you're still young. When you grow up, you'll be as powerful as me."
"Really?" Jiaojiao asked expectantly, raising her dirty little face. Her dark eyes reflected the afternoon sunset, clean and lively.
Mu Yicheng looked down at him and exclaimed: "Jiaojiao, your eyes are so beautiful, even more beautiful than my father's."
Jiaojiao was very happy to be praised, and became more motivated to pick up stones.
When he ran to his small bamboo basket with the stone, threw the stone into it and was about to continue picking up stones, Li Yubai came over and picked him up.
Holding the man in his arms, Li Yubai wiped the dirt off his face and said, "Go and rest for a while."
"No need to stop." Jiaojiao also imitated her father and raised her little paws to wipe his face.
It would have been fine if he hadn't wiped it, but after wiping it, he left several black marks on Li Yubai's originally clean face.
Seeing the black marks on her father's face, Jiaojiao subconsciously put her hands behind her back and tried to open her eyes wide to show her innocence.
Li Yubai, seeing his appearance in his wide-open eyes, sighed softly in his heart and said, "Aren't you tired?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiaojiao stretched out her little hand and measured a fingernail-sized distance: "A little tired."
Li Yubai held his little hand, frowning as he saw the skin on his tender white fingers being rubbed by the stones. "If you're tired, go and rest. I don't need you to work hard to support me."
Li Yubai said this with confidence. After all, in such a short period of time, he had cleared almost one-third of an acre of land, and the amount of work he did was twice that of others.
There are three acres of land in total. Two ladies and two little girls are responsible for one acre, and three men and three little boys are responsible for two acres. But judging from Li Yubai's speed, he can only be responsible for one acre by himself.
"Jiaojiao wants to help daddy with the work. Jiaojiao is very useful." Jiaojiao, who was persuaded by her father to take a rest, said with a serious face.
After seeing the condition of his two little hands, Li Yubai raised his hand to pull the weeds off Jiaojiao's head, with an unconcealable look of heartache in his eyes: "I know Jiaojiao works hard and is great."
It was a small ball, staggering even when walking on the field, but it ran around on its short legs, trying hard to pick up stones and weeds. Just from what Li Yubai saw, Jiaojiao fell four or five times.
I thought he would go play nearby if he was tired, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
If he had known that the production team would do such a thing, he would not have brought Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao smiled after being praised, lowered her head and wanted to rub her head against her father, but was stopped by Li Yubai.
Forget about the little hands before, there is a lot of dirt and dust on the head.
Thinking of this, Li Yubai turned around and walked towards the Mushroom House with Jiaojiao in his arms. Cao Yuhao, who was standing by, saw this and followed him.
Li Yubai carried Jiaojiao back to the mushroom house, gave him a quick bath, changed his clothes, disinfected the broken skin on his little hands with hydrogen peroxide, and then left with Jiaojiao in his arms. He also made a bottle of milk for Jiaojiao before leaving.
Cao Yuhao, who came back with him, took out his little mecha toy from his house and ran out towards the field.
Seeing this, Li Yubai thought for a moment, turned around and went back to get his puppy toy and a table mat for Jiaojiao.
When they returned to the field again, Li Yubai spread the table mat on the shade of the tree, put Jiaojiao down and told him not to go to the field again, otherwise his clothes would get dirty and difficult to wash.
Jiaojiao touched the tiger pattern on her clothes, looked up at her father and said, "Jiaojiao can wash it herself."
"No, that won't work. If you wash it yourself, I will be scolded." Li Yubai said.
Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "Who scolded Daddy? Jiaojiao scolded back."
"I don't know, there are a lot of people." Li Yubai lowered his head to hide his facial expression and pretended to be depressed, "It would be very uncomfortable to be scolded. I might cry."
Jiaojiao glared at her father and quickly patted his chest to comfort him: "Daddy, don't cry, don't be sad."
In the end, Jiaojiao, who was tricked by Li Yubai, sat obediently under the shade of a tree, holding her toy puppy.
Seeing this, Cao Yuhao, who was playing with his small mecha nearby, came over and invited Jiaojiao to play with him.
Shi Huairou, Lou Yaoyao, and Mu Yichen, who had just come out of the fields, gathered nearby and sat under the shade of the trees to play.
While playing, Lou Yaoyao was attracted by a butterfly that suddenly flew over, and she pulled Shi Huairou to catch the butterfly.
Jiaojiao was still sitting there playing obediently, occasionally looking up at her father working in the field. When she met her father's gaze, she would happily wave her little hands.
Time passed little by little. Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the shade of a tree and felt a little hungry, took the bottle beside her and drank it happily. When there was half of it left, she ran to the edge of the field and waved for her father to come over.
When Li Yubai heard Jiaojiao's voice, he stopped what he was doing and walked towards this side with his hoe in hand.
"Daddy." Jiaojiao tilted her head and handed the bottle forward.
Li Yubai looked into his bright eyes, which showed no emotion, but if one really analyzed it, there was a bit of indulgence and pampering in them that he himself was not even aware of.
After thinking for a while, he compromised and lowered his head to take the bottle from Jiaojiao's hand.
Li Yubai is very tall, at least in the entertainment industry. His height of almost 1.9 meters and body covered with a thin layer of muscle make people feel oppressive at first glance.
This made many celebrities in the entertainment industry unwilling to take photos or walk the red carpet with him. Fans and netizens who did not understand the cause and effect just thought that he had a bad character, which was why he was ostracized by everyone in the entertainment industry.
Now, seeing this tall figure holding a hoe and a bottle of milk in the fields, netizens in the live broadcast room felt that it was very awkward, but at the same time, they had a strange feeling that their cute spots were touched, and they inexplicably wanted to cover their mouths and scream.
Li Yubai finished the milk in the bottle in two gulps, handed the bottle back to Jiaojiao, and turned around to continue working.
Jiaojiao happily returned to the shade of the tree with the bottle in her hands. Just as she put the bottle down and picked up the toy dog to play with it, Cao Yuhao pulled her to the nearby ridge of the field to show off his highly intelligent mecha toy to the village children gathered there.
At this time, on the other side of the field, Zhou Yi, who had finished his work and carried a load of pig grass from the mountain, met Zhou Yaozu who was returning from school on his way home.
Today is Friday, and the children in the village finish school earlier than usual. Knowing this, Zhou Yi has been trying to be as careful as possible to delay his journey home, but he didn't expect to meet Zhou Yaozu again.
Zhou Yaozu, who came back with Zhang Long and his schoolbag, saw Zhou Yi and immediately walked up to him and kicked him, raising his head arrogantly: "Get down quickly, I want to ride a horse."
Zhou Yi, who had his head lowered, heard what Zhou Yaozu said. He pursed his lips awkwardly and whispered, "I'm carrying pig grass on my back, so it's not easy for me to lie down. Can I let you ride me when I get back?"
Hearing him say this, Zhou Yaozu immediately kicked his calf angrily: "I don't care, get down quickly, I want to ride you, you are my pony."
Zhou Yi, who was kicked so hard that it hurt, didn't dare to hide. He just lowered his head and didn't move.
Seeing that he didn't move, Zhou Yaozu, feeling embarrassed in front of Zhang Long, kicked him a few more times: "If you don't get down, I'll let my grandfather beat you to death when we get back."
Zhou Yi, who had been kicked and taken two steps back, widened his eyes in fear for a moment when he heard his words, and his body trembled instinctively. He almost panicked and put down the pig grass on his back and lay down in front of Zhou Yaozu.
Zhou Yaozu smiled proudly. As the fattest man in the village, he lifted his legs and rode on it with a little effort, shouting "Go!"
Zhou Yaozu's action caused Zhou Yi, who was already frighteningly thin, to tremble uncontrollably with his stick-like hands and legs. It was obvious that he was struggling, but he still gritted his teeth and crawled forward.
Listening to Zhang Long's envious voice and the voice shouting that he wanted to ride too, Zhou Yi felt nothing in his heart. His eyes were numb and empty. Compared with the so-called face he had never had, he was more afraid of being beaten. Every time he was beaten, he always felt like he was about to die.
The heart-wrenching pain almost welded fear to his bones.
Almost half an hour later, Zhou Yaozu and Zhang Long finally left. Zhou Yi's hands and knees were bleeding from the pebbles on the ground. He sat on the ground, found a thin bamboo stick from somewhere, and numbly but skillfully picked out the pebbles stuck in his palms and knees. Then, carrying the pig grass on his back, he limped away and chose another way.
Here, Zhou Yaozu and his companion were walking along the road towards home. When they passed by the place where a group of children loved to gather and play on the ridge of the field, they saw Jiaojiao holding a mecha toy.
Zhou Yaozu, who had never seen this kind of toy before, had his eyes light up. He walked forward and held out his hand as if it was a matter of course: "Let me play with it."
Jiaojiao looked at the strange child in front of her and shook her head: "No."
Jiaojiao's puppy toy was taken away by Sister Yaoyao to play with. The mecha toy in her hand belonged to Cao Yuhao. Jiaojiao refused Zhou Yaozu because she felt that she should not give her friend's toys to others.
Seeing that this strange child dared to refuse him, Zhou Yaozu frowned fiercely and grabbed the child: "Don't you know who is the leader of the children in Changli Village? If you don't give me the fun things, I will beat you to death."
Zhou Yaozu suddenly grabbed the toy and before Jiaojiao could even let go, her little finger was pinched so hard that it hurt, and she was pushed to the ground.
The netizens who saw this scene in the live broadcast room were immediately shocked.
'Oh my god, I'm so pissed off!'
'It made me grit my teeth!'
"I really want to get in there and smack this kid to death!"
"Dare to bully my Jiaozi? Did you get my consent?"
"Where is the address of this village? I'll fly over right now and show this little brat how dangerous the world is!"
Cao Yuhao, who was playing a grass-fighting game with the village kids while holding a handful of carefully selected grass, saw this scene, glared, and roared, "Who are you hitting, you little fat boy?"
Before he could finish his words, Cao Yuhao threw away the grass in his hand and rushed over. He pushed Zhou Yaozu, who was standing, to the ground, turned over and sat on him, beating him left and right.
Lou Yaoyao and Shi Huairou, who were catching butterflies nearby, heard the noise and ran over. After discovering Jiaojiao was being bullied, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed over to pin down Zhou Yaozu who was about to get up, kicking and pinching him.
Seeing this, Mu Yicheng, who arrived late, rushed forward and hugged Zhang Long, who was about to come forward to help, and shouted to stop the fight: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, fighting is not good..."
The children from the same village stood there at a loss. Originally, when the children from their own village were beaten by children from outside, they should have stepped forward to help. However, in the past half hour, they were successfully bribed by Cao Yuhao's toys and the snacks he promised to bring them tomorrow.
Moreover, the child was so cute and would sweetly call them brother and sister. It seemed that Zhou Yaozu deserved to be beaten for bullying him.
Thinking this way, the children watched Zhou Yaozu screaming in pain as he was beaten.
The netizens who witnessed the whole process from the live broadcast room felt relieved, but were speechless about Mu Yicheng's biased attitude.
Are kids nowadays so smart?
I have to say that Cao Yuhao is worthy of being a Taekwondo practitioner. He is very skilled in fighting and even knows how to cover the person's mouth and hit him in the face.
They had not been watching the fun happily for long when an old man who looked ferocious suddenly rushed forward and pushed Cao Yuhao and the others away. Looking at his grandson who was crying loudly after being beaten, the old man glared at Tong Yaoyao and the others fiercely and kicked them.
Lou Yaoyao was so frightened that she stood there in a daze and didn't even move to dodge. Seeing that the kick was about to land on her, a foot stretched out from the side and kicked the old man's foot in the wrong direction.
Li Yubai, who had arrived at some point, held Jiaojiao in his arms and looked down at the old man in front of him. His aura was frighteningly fierce, especially his eyes, which were like a cold pond, freezing to the bone.
The frightened old man narrowed his cloudy eyes, sat down on the ground and wailed: "Someone is being beaten, someone is being beaten, someone from another village is being beaten..."
Lu Yian and others who rushed over after hearing the noise felt puzzled and amused at the same time when they saw this.
"Old man, stop howling. Look at what this is." Shi Yue patted the small camera flying in the air.
Zhou Daqiang looked over when he heard that. When he saw that it was a pretty girl, a lustful look flashed in his inverted triangle eyes. He said viciously, "I don't care who you are. If you hit someone, don't even think about leaving this village."
Li Yubai, noticing his gaze, stepped forward and stood in front of Shi Yue and Shen Yingke. He looked at the old man in front of him and said in a cold tone, "This is called a camera. Do you know what a camera is? If not, you can think of it as a surveillance camera. Everything you just did was recorded by this and posted online. Everyone on the internet knows about it."
"Have you seen this guy?" Li Yubai raised his finger and pointed at Lu Yian standing beside him. "Does he look familiar? Of course he is. He's the new movie star. You should have seen him on TV. He has 60 million fans. A single word of his spit can drown you. And you're not letting him leave the village. Believe it or not, if you dare to touch him, his fans will come and tear you apart tonight."
Being introduced by Li Yubai in this way, Lu Yian pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
Instead, it was Cao Yuhao who got up from the ground and brushed the mud off his pants, looking at him with admiration.
Not only did he admire Lu Yian, he also looked at Xiao Tiancheng with disdain.
Xiao Tiancheng, who has 30 million fans, looked at his disgusted expression, and the veins on his forehead twitched uncontrollably, wondering why the old man didn't kick him to death.
"And that toy your grandson stole." Li Yubai said, looking at the mud-covered intelligent mecha that had fallen to the ground. "It's worth four hundred thousand. I don't know if it's damaged. If it is, you can expect to sell your house to compensate for it!"
Zhou Daqiang, whose face turned pale after being frightened by Li Yubai, looked at Lu Yian and then at the mecha on the ground, stammering and unable to speak.
Netizens who witnessed this scene in the live broadcast room were surprised and couldn't help but complain.
"This Li looks so aloof, but I didn't expect him to be so skilled at pulling off a tiger's skin!"
"Nonsense, no matter what, he is still in the business world. Do you know what it means to say one thing to one person and another to another?"
'His praise made my brother's face stiff with embarrassment!'
"It's a social disaster!"
"This reminds me of that famous line from a TV show..."
'Do you know who my father is? Do you know who my brother is? Do you know who I am...'
"In another world, I also thought of these lines..."
"Li's image of being aloof and aloof has completely collapsed..."
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense. Cao Yuhao, who was unusually clever, rushed to his toys with a look of heartache on his face, screaming at the top of his lungs to call the police.
Finally, the village chief heard the news and rushed over, scolded Zhou Daqiang, and asked him to force Zhou Yaozu to apologize to the people.
Zhou Yaozu, the little bully who was beaten and forced to apologize, looked at Cao Yuhao who was arrogant and making faces in front of him, and his face turned purple.
Even Jiaojiao turned away angrily when he apologized, which was rare. She touched her little butt which was still a little sore, and thought to herself that she would never forgive him.
On this day, Zhou Yaozu, who apologized in front of all the children in the village, felt unusually aggrieved and embarrassed, and cried all the way back.
Zhou Yi, who was cooking pig food at home, heard his crying and his legs trembled subconsciously. When he looked up and saw his grandfather's dark face, he felt that the air around him was instantly grabbed by fear. He had difficulty breathing and was like a fish that jumped onto the shore and was about to suffocate.
Zhou Daqiang, who had just entered the room, picked up a shovel beside him and smashed it in anger. Zhou Yi, who only had time to turn sideways, was hit hard on the back by the shovel. Even though he avoided the sharp edge, the huge force still hurt him so much that his eyes went black.
Just then Zhou Daqiang walked up, grabbed his hair and slammed him against the stove, then picked up a big iron spoon from the pig feed pot and hit Zhou Yi hard.
Zhou Yaozu, who was standing by, heard Zhou Yi's suppressed cry of pain, raised his hand to wipe his nose, and said viciously: "Beat him, beat him to death, Grandpa, beat him hard, it's because of his bad luck that I was beaten, beat him hard..."
Screams and cries accompanied by the sounds of beatings came from the yard. The surrounding neighbors frowned and finally sighed helplessly. They couldn't stand seeing Zhou Daqiang beating the child like this, but it was someone else's business. They had called the police before, but Zhou Daqiang was only taken away for a few days of education at most, and he would beat the child even more severely after returning.
After so many years, no matter how much I dislike it, I have gradually gotten used to it. What can they do if even the police can't control it?
It’s just a pity that Zhou Yi has such a miserable life!
At night, Lu Yian and others came back from the fields and rushed into their respective rooms to wash up. After washing up, they came to the colorful mushroom house and lay down on the sofa.
The colorful mushroom house is equivalent to a living room, kitchen, and dining room. Apart from sleeping, they spend most of their time here playing games and taking tasks.
Those who had originally planned to lie down for a while and then get up to cook found that they couldn't get up this time.
Li Yubai is not like them. Since he was a child, he has inexplicably been obsessed with keeping his body's lethality at its peak. For this reason, he has learned a lot of boxing and kicking and has been exercising.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, he got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
After working hard all afternoon, not only he was hungry, but Jiaojiao was also hungry. When he came back, he saw Jiaojiao secretly touching her belly.
Seeing that her father was about to cook, Jiaojiao ran to the kitchen door, poked her little head out and asked persistently, "Dad, do you need help?"
Li Yubai turned his head to look at him, thought for a moment and said, "Come here and peel the garlic."
Jiaojiao, who was able to help, curved her eyes and ran in with her short legs.
Li Yubai gave him a garlic and asked him to peel it outside before coming in.
Jiaojiao nodded her little head busily and ran out happily holding the garlic.
Xiao Tiancheng, who was lying on the sofa, saw Li Yubai cooking. Not wanting to lose to him, he gritted his teeth, got up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.
After Xiao Tiancheng left, Shen Yingke and others also walked into the kitchen one after another.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening after dinner. Jiaojiao wanted to help her father wash the dishes but was sent out by her father to take a walk to digest the food. Now she walked around the yard obediently with her hands behind her back.
As Jiaojiao was walking around the yard, she saw Zhou Yi squatting in the grass not far outside the yard.
Surprised, Jiaojiao immediately walked out of the yard with her short legs.
In the bushes, Zhou Yi, who was beaten so badly that he was in so much pain, chose to run away from the Zhou family for the first time when he was beaten.
Unable to find anywhere to go, he finally chose to come here. Looking at the lights on in the strange mushroom-shaped house from afar, he felt that the pain was not so severe.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Jiaojiao suddenly poked her little head in and asked curiously.
Jiaojiao had sharp eyesight, and he could tell at a glance that Zhou Yi was squatting in the deep grass opposite the yard.
Startled, Zhou Yi looked at Jiaojiao and carefully handed the rice bubble wrapped in leaves to Jiaojiao. He said in a voice trembling with pain, "This is for you."
Jiaojiao took it and said, "What is this?"
Zhou Yi said: "It's food, try it."
Jiaojiao picked one up and put it in her mouth. When she found it was sweet, she squinted her eyes and smiled: "Thank you, brother. It's delicious."
Although his whole body was in great pain, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smiled. However, his stomach started to growl the next second and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Hearing the gurgling sound, Jiaojiao tilted his head in confusion. When he realized the sound came from Zhou Yi's stomach, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Brother, are you hungry?"
Before Zhou Yi could answer him, Jiaojiao ran back with her feet pounding. As she ran, she said in a childish voice, "Brother, wait a minute. Jiaojiao will get you something to eat."
Zhou Yi, who didn't have time to stop it, was stunned and speechlessly withdrew his outstretched hand.
Three chapters! Three chapters! I've also written tomorrow's chapter.
