Chapter 216 Extra Four (7)
Extra Four (7)
Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo looked at each other. Without saying a word, they understood what the other was thinking.
The little treasure I'd been searching for for so long was finally right before my eyes. Could this be what they called "fate"?
Jiang Nuo suppressed his excitement and touched the pigtailed girl's head. "What are your names?"
The little girl said in a baby voice, "My name is Dabao, and my brother is Xiaobao."
Jiang Nuo: "Are you twins, a boy and a girl?"
Dabao scratched his chubby little face and said uncertainly, "We are twins."
Jiang Nuo: "Dabao, take the uncles to visit your uncle's house, okay?"
Dabao nodded happily: "Okay."
"Uncle, can I hold your hand?" Jiang Nuo stretched out his hand. Perhaps it was because of the two days of contact that the child had let down his guard, and Dabao's little hand suddenly clasped around his.
The child's hands were small and soft. The moment Jiang Nuo touched them, her heart melted and she turned and left.
[Mr. Jiang! Are you done fishing?]
[Please collect your fishing rods! !]
What's going on? What's going on? A new segment, or a broadcast error?
[A little curious]
At the same time, the executive director's voice came from the earphone: "Mr. Jiang? Aren't you going fishing anymore?"
Jiang Nuo paused, then took off his earphones and signaled Gu Jiangkuo to follow with Xiaobao.
director:"…………"
【Haha ...
[It’s confirmed, it was a broadcast accident hhhh]
[So true!!! The sponsors are so willful, they do whatever they want. If the artists don't obey their orders, they will probably be sued, hahahaha]
80% of reality shows performed by celebrities are scripted and boring.
【Be bold, 100%】
[So it was a broadcast error? Then I want to watch it even more!]
[Curious about what Mr. Jiang is going to do]
It feels more interesting than fishing.
【Making trouble, making trouble! ! ! ! !】
The two little kids couldn't walk fast, and Jiang Nuo was not in a hurry. He and Gu Jiangkuo walked one in front and one behind, each holding one. But Gu Jiangkuo was unwilling to give up after walking for a while, so he took two quick steps to catch up and hold Jiang Nuo's hand. So the scene became two adults and two children, with the four of them holding hands in a row, just like a family of four.
[The picture is so harmonious! ! ]
【A family of four】
[Speaking of which, the two little ones have no parents, and Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu don’t have any children either… I have a bold idea.]
Is Mr. Gu some kind of hand-holding maniac? Even walking down such a narrow tree-lined road, he still holds Nuonuo's hand, hahahaha.
【The more you savor the details, the sweeter it is! ! ! 】
The two little kids took Gu Jiangkuo and Jiang Nuo and skillfully crossed most of the village. The elder sister Dabao took small but firm steps, while the little boy named "Xiaobao" stopped for a while to suck his fingers when passing by the entrance of the convenience store.
But he didn't ask for anything. He just stopped for a moment and then followed, picking two beautiful little wild flowers on the way.
Soon the four of them arrived at their destination, which was a clean bungalow with a large yard covered with a fence and several chickens.
As they entered the house, the hens began to cluck, and a rooster came out of the fence, with its wings spread out and its head tilted menacingly.
"Go back! Go back!" The hostess came out of the house and was stunned when she saw Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo. "Are you...big stars here to film a show? Oh, did Dabao and Xiaobao cause you trouble?"
Jiang Nuo said gently, "We're not celebrities. Dabao and Xiaobao didn't cause us any trouble. They're very well behaved. I heard it was you who asked me to give us eggs, so I came here to say thank you."
"Oh, there are only two eggs." The hostess rubbed her hands with the corner of her clothes embarrassedly and said, "Come in and sit down, come in and sit down. I'll call the head chef back!"
Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo went into the house and sat down at the dining table. There was no sofa in the room, only a few hard-backed chairs next to the clean dining table, two small benches in the corner, and plastic toys scattered on the floor.
Dabao and Xiaobao were very well behaved and didn't make any noise. They each found a small stool to sit on and didn't play with toys. Xiaobao gave his sister a small flower that he had picked on the road, and the two little kids played with the flower together.
Jiang Nuoqi asked, "Why don't you play with your toys?"
Although those plastic toys looked very low-quality, they were still more interesting than two withered wild flowers.
Xiaobao looked up and pouted, saying a little aggrievedly, "Those are my brother and sister's toys. We can't touch them."
Gu Jiangkuo asked, "Are your brother and sister your uncle's children?"
"Well!" Xiaobao pouted and whispered, "I don't like them."
Jiang Nuo then asked the silent little girl, "Dabao, don't you like your brother and sister too?"
Dabao shook his head, then nodded, glanced at the plastic toy with a bit of envy, then forced himself to look away and said in a baby voice, "Grandpa told us to listen to our uncles, aunts, and aunts before he left, and not touch other people's toys."
[How pitiful.]
Children without parents are like weeds
This is living under someone else's roof.
[I suddenly don’t like that couple anymore. I thought the people in this village were simple and honest.]
[It's normal. Being able to feed them is good enough. After all, they are not your own biological children, so you will definitely treat them differently. This is human nature.]
[Please, Mr. Jiang, take them away and adopt them! Please!]
[Is this moral kidnapping?]
At the same time, the hostess also found her husband playing cards next door.
Life in the village is so simple. During the busy farming season, people get up early and go to bed late, but after the harvest, they have a long time to relax. The adults like to sit together and chat about family matters, play mahjong and other cards.
When the woman called her husband, Lao Gai, out, he was still a little reluctant. Gai's wife pulled him to a deserted place and whispered, "The two big stars who were recording the show—"
"It's not a big star, it's the chairman." Lao Gai corrected.
The woman shrugged, "She's so pretty, she must be a star... Oh, that's not important. They came to our house, and brought Dabao and Xiaobao with them, saying they wanted to thank us for our two eggs."
Lao Gai excitedly said, "So we're going to be on TV?"
"Oh," he said in frustration, taking another long drag on his cigarette. "I only gave them two eggs. How embarrassing! I told you not to be so stingy. Other families give so much as a return gift, but you insist that Dabao and Xiaobao aren't our biological children and shouldn't be wasted."
Mrs. Gai angrily said, "Am I wrong? Our family and his family don't have much friendship. Now that the two children have lost all their relatives, they are reluctant to send them to an orphanage, so why drag us into it? They eat and drink for free, and there is no telling when it will end! You play outside every day, acting like a big shot, and don't care about the family. You don't even know how much a bag of salt costs, right? You are just trying to save face and leave the two children to me. If you have the ability, come back and take care of them yourself. If you have the ability, bring more money home!"
"Come on, stop arguing!" Old Gai also got angry. "Go home! The TV station is still here. If you don't mind being embarrassed, you can keep arguing in front of the whole country!"
Mrs. Gai was not very convinced, but she pursed her lips and shut up angrily.
She also didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the camera.
.
When the couple returned, they both put on unnatural smiles.
Mr. Jiang has been through a lot in his life and has met countless cunning people. He can almost see through the thoughts of these two ordinary farmers at a glance. Combined with the two questions he just asked Dabao and Xiaobao, what else is there that he doesn't understand?
But Mr. Jiang did not show it. He greeted the two of them politely and asked about Dabao and Xiaobao's life stories calmly.
The two children really lost their relatives, and their fate was even more lonely than Jiang Nuo had imagined.
It turned out that Dabao and Xiaobao's grandfather was an old bachelor in the village. Because he was physically disabled and his family was poor, he had never found a partner until he was forty years old and picked up a baby girl in the city where he worked.
In those days, the idea of favoring boys over girls was still very serious, and abandoned baby girls often appeared in social news.
The grandfather heard the baby crying next to the trash can. He felt sorry for her and thought that he would probably be a bachelor for the rest of his life and might have no one to take care of him in his old age, so he adopted the baby girl.
When the baby girl grew up, she became a graceful young lady and was admitted to university, becoming the only college student in the village in those years. She was not only promising but also very filial. Although she worked in another place, she would always come back to visit her grandfather during the holidays and send him living expenses regularly.
"Who wouldn't be jealous of Nannan's filial piety during those years? Many people in the village said that raising a son is really not as good as raising a daughter. Daughters are more caring." Lao Gai sighed, "An adopted daughter is worse than a biological one."
Jiang Nuo couldn't help but interrupt: "Crows repay their parents, lambs kneel to suckle, animals do this, what about humans? That grandfather must be a good father too, true to his heart."
"Yes," Mrs. Gai also said, "No wonder they say the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth. It's such a pity that Nannan, such a filial child, passed away in a car accident, leaving behind this pair of twins. When they had the accident, Dabao and Xiaobao were only eleven months old and couldn't remember anything. Grandpa couldn't bear the blow of seeing his children die young, and he passed away last year too."
Old Gai sighed, "That's enough. Grandpa was almost eighty years old, so this is considered a happy funeral. He also enjoyed the blessing of his daughter for decades. It's more than enough!"
Even so, Old Gai still felt uncomfortable and lit another cigarette. "Hey, what a good man! Grandpa has watched us grow up and is kind to everyone. That's why we are willing to take care of the two children he left behind."
Mrs. Gai whispered, "But this isn't a long-term solution. One or two years is fine, but how long will it take for a child to grow up?"
"Tsk! They're still recording it, what are you talking about!"
"What's wrong with me telling the truth?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Jiang Nuo couldn't help but look at Dabao and Xiaobao beside them. The two little kids huddled together nervously, not daring to say a word.
[When parents quarrel, children usually cry, right? But neither of them dared to do that.]
[Oh, how pitiful]
[I feel so bad, they are only three years old, but they can already read people’s expressions QAQ]
Jiang Nuo calmly withdrew his gaze and interrupted the old Gai couple with a smile: "You said that Dabao and Xiaobao's parents were killed in a car accident, and their grandfather also passed away. There are no relatives on their mother's side. So where is their father? And their grandparents?"
"Ah!" Mrs. Gai sighed, "It's said that these two children are pitiful! Their father has no relatives and grew up in an orphanage. He is also a miserable person!"
"So," Gu Jiangkuo said, "these two children have no living relatives?"
Mrs. Gai: "That's right. Otherwise, it wouldn't be our turn as neighbors to take care of it!"
Gu Jiangkuo looked at Jiang Nuo, asking for his opinion with his eyes. Jiang Nuo nodded slightly, and Gu Jiangkuo said, "Brother, sister-in-law, can Dabao and Xiaobao come to our place to play for a few days?"
Lao Gai: "What, going to your place?"
[Ahhh, go ahead! Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu, please buy some toys for Dabao and Xiaobao. They are so pitiful. Sob. Sob. Sob.]
[Looking forward to the scene where the two overbearing CEOs dote on the little baby QAQ]
I want to raise money to buy toys for my baby! Why didn’t the show allow tipping?
[Mr. Jiang: Reward? Are you questioning my financial resources?]
[Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu: We've contracted all the toys for the entire village!]
[Hahahaha, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable, but the comments made me laugh]
Jiang Nuo explained: "It's quite boring to record a show with just the two of us. We think these two kids are cute. Can we borrow them to record with us?"
Lao Gai: "So it's a recording of a show."
"That's great!" Mrs. Gai said immediately, "Don't worry, these two children are very well-behaved. I'll go and pack their clothes for you."
After saying that, he ran into the bedroom, as if he was afraid that Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo would go back on their word.
Old Gai was a little embarrassed. He flicked the ash into the ashtray before he remembered to ask, "Do you two smoke?"
Jiang Nuo: "No, thank you."
Gu Jiangkuo: "No, my wife won't let me."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
【Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha】
My Wife Won't Let Me
[Hahahahahaha dog food is everywhere doge]
Mrs. Gai quickly packed up a small bag of clothes and asked enthusiastically, "Shall I send it over to you?"
Jiang Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Come with us. We won't borrow Dabao and Xiaobao for nothing. Come with us and get some Jiang's organic milk."
Mrs. Gai felt embarrassed: "Letting the child stay at your place for two days is to reduce our burden. How can we ask for your things? No, no!"
"It's okay," Jiang Nuo winked at Gai Sao, "This is given to the program team by the sponsor. It's free, so you guys should just take it."
Mr. Jiang is quite good-looking. Even if he really joins the entertainment industry, he might be able to make a name for himself with just his looks. How could Mrs. Gai, a rural woman, have ever seen such a good-looking man in real life, and how could he wink at her?!
Mrs. Gai blushed, feeling shy and a little overwhelmed. She turned away and said, "Okay."
Jiang Nuo now faced the camera and said seriously, "Jiang's organic milk uses pure farm-sourced milk, with a milk protein content of up to 3.8%! It's rich and delicious, naturally pure, and fragrant, so you can drink it with confidence!"
Gu Jiangkuo: “…………”
Mrs. Gai: “…………”
Lao Gai: “………………”
Even the director in front of the monitor silently gave a thumbs-up: Is this the legendary businessman? Awesome!
【HA ...】
[You are truly worthy of being called Jiang Zong! ! ! !]
[An unexpected advertisement hahahaha]
I'm laughing like crazy! What do you mean by 'free gifts from sponsors'? Aren't you a sponsor?! Hahahahahaha! Before I watched this show, I never thought it would be this funny! ! ! !
[Hahahahahahahaha Mr. Jiang, it still has to be you! ]
Facts have proved that Mr. Jiang, as a calculating businessman, is quite good at "making the best use of things". As a sponsor, he not only emptied the program team's organic milk reserves for today, but also took the opportunity to advertise Jiang Xia's "summer makeup". For the same reason, he gave the makeup to Mrs. Gai and subtly hinted that they had no dinner.
Mrs. Gai knew that the cosmetics were quite expensive, so she happily accepted them and immediately went home to give Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo a small cart of food.
There were frozen fish, fresh pork, a lot of dewy vegetables just picked from the ground, and even two live hens.
[Wow!!! Wow!!! I'm so shocked!!! So many!!!]
[This is much more generous than the program crew, hahahahahahahaha]
[Please ask the cameraman to give the director a shot, I want to see his expression hahahahahaha]
[I've said this countless times, this show is also known as "The Adventures of a Director" (Doge)]
[Fishing Rod: You guys aren't going to take me back? ?]
Just as the comments had hoped, the director stepped forward weakly, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Gu, um, the rules of our show are that we can't buy ingredients from the villagers. We have to get them from the production team through games..."
Jiang Nuo said confidently: "We didn't buy anything. You heard it too. We just gave things to Big Sister. This is her return gift."
Gu Jiangkuo: "They are so kind and insisted on giving it to us, so we feel bad not to accept it! Being overly polite is just hypocritical and it will hurt my sister's feelings!"
director:"………………"
【Director: Despair.jpg】
[Their cool moves come one after another, I like it hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[When the boss is a guest, there are no rules or anything like that hhhh]
This show is so good!
[Why am I so happy when the program team gets humiliated? Hahahaha]
The director team had no choice and did not dare to argue with the two sponsors. Seeing that the real-time barrage reaction was quite good in the background, they simply accepted their fate and turned off the microphone.
Without fishing, I still have a free afternoon.
Gu Jiangkuo heated up the ingredients he had received earlier, and the two of them and their two little babies had a simple lunch.
"Just a bite to eat at noon and then make something delicious in the evening," said Gu Jiangkuo.
Dabao and Xiaobao were both very well behaved. They each held a small sweet potato, their cheeks bulging with food, and nodded repeatedly. Jiang Nuo brought two cartons of milk for the two babies and said, "Drink your milk, then go take a nap. I'll take you to buy toys this afternoon, okay?"
"real?!"
"Going to the canteen?"
The two little kids became excited, and their big black eyes looked at Jiang Nuo.
"Really?" Mr. Jiang said with a straight face, "But you have to take a nap. If you don't sleep, you won't get any toys."
"good!!!"
The two little guys gulped down two boxes of milk, and then rushed to the bedroom with their short legs. However, the bed was too high, and they couldn't climb up even after chirping for a long time.
Seeing this, Gu Jiangkuo walked over in two steps, picked up the two little babies, one in each hand, and slid them onto the bed, then gently closed the bedroom door.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nuo had already greeted the production crew and said to the camera, "We're going to take a nap too. The live broadcast is paused. See you this afternoon!"
Gu Jiangkuo rushed over to show his face, said good afternoon to the camera, and then followed Jiang Nuo into another bedroom.
After closing the door and drawing the curtains, Jiang Nuo leaned back against the bed and patted the empty space beside him, "Come here."
Gu Jiangkuo naturally knew that Jiang Nuo didn't really want to take a nap, but just couldn't wait to review the situation with him and discuss whether the two little darlings should stay or go.
"Nuonuo, I will listen to you." Without waiting for Jiang Nuo to speak, Gu Jiangkuo expressed his opinion directly.
Jiang Nuo chuckled. "If we adopt them, they're still your sons and daughters. How can you not object? This is a lifelong event, so I didn't jump to conclusions. I just said we should bring the two children over for a couple of days. We can take this opportunity to spend some time with them and think things over carefully."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Nuonuo is really thoughtful. I actually like them too, and they seem to be a good match for us. If Jiang Xia hadn't sponsored a program, and the original celebrity couple had run away, we wouldn't be able to film a reality show."
"That's true. I never thought in my life that I would be on a variety show one day." Jiang Nuo stretched and rested his head on Gu Jiangkuo's shoulder, his legs draped over his. "What do you think? Is this fate?"
Having been in front of the camera for the past two days, it was rare for him to have a private conversation. Gu Jiangkuo hugged his lover affectionately and squeezed Jiang Nuo's waist. "It's fate. It's like God sent us a child."
Jiang Nuo felt a little comfortable being kneaded, closed his eyes, and huddled in Gu Jiangkuo's arms, "Why don't we take a nap for a while? It's so relaxing to listen to the birds singing outside."
Gu Jiangkuo smiled and said, "Okay."
