Chapter 705: The Stepmother (9)
Then they started to torture Wen Wan like crazy. Wen Wan got up and tortured her back. In the end, the two childish girls ran wildly on the road. In the end, they were still the last ones to arrive. The remaining breakfast consisted of a steamed bun, two bowls of white porridge, and a plate of pickled vegetables. Wen Wan was not picky, and neither was Qiao Xiaoya. In this respect, the two were very compatible. As long as they could eat, they were fine, as long as they didn't go hungry.
However, this did not stop the two, one big and one small, from blaming each other.
Qiao Xiaoya: "It's all your fault for sleeping in, otherwise we would definitely have had more delicious food."
"It's all your fault for not sleeping properly last night."
"You're not being honest. You even slept holding me. I was almost suffocating all night."
Wen Wan: "You're talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"
Qiao Xiaoya: "..."
The two of them chatted back and forth, making the other parents nearby laugh.
...
Life continued the next day. In Wen Wan's yard, there was still a chicken, two ducks, and a piglet that hadn't grown up yet.
It should be possible to get through two days, but the production team clearly doesn't want her to just get through it like that.
"Our task today is to help the villagers. If we succeed, we will receive a reward. Everyone will draw their own task card. If we fail, we will not get lunch."
Wen Wan asked Qiao Xiaoya to draw a ticket.
What they ended up drawing was—helping Grandma Chen clean up the cow dung in the cowshed.
Qiao Xiaoya was stunned.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "It's not my fault. Your luck was really bad."
Other parents also received tasks; some picked vegetables, some helped repair the roof, and some herded sheep...
Wen Wan led Qiao Xiaoya to the mission location. It smelled terrible. Her first reaction was that it really stank.
Qiao Xiaoya covered her nose. "You're an adult, and I'm a child. I can't do this kind of thing."
Wen Wan immediately slumped weakly into the chair, "To be honest, I'm too weak, I'm riddled with illnesses."
Qiao Xiaoya: "Look at other parents, and then look at you. You are not a qualified parent at all. Your fans will definitely not like you."
Wen Wan shrugged. "I don't have any fans."
However, the last two didn't escape either. The two, one big and one small, entered the cowshed wearing masks, and then, enduring the disgust, began shoveling cow dung while making sarcastic remarks.
Qiao Xiaoya: "Why can't you give in to me? Don't you care about your image? And aren't you afraid that if my brother finds out you're bullying me, he won't let you get away with it?"
Wen Wan sneered, "I'm your brother's mother in name only. I'm the one who has the power to control him."
Qiao Xiaoya: "If you dare to bully my brother, I won't let you get away with it."
"If you don't shut up, this cow dung won't be cleaned up until tomorrow."
The two buried themselves in their work, with Wen Wan doing most of the work, because she wouldn't bully a seven-year-old child; at most, she would only verbally take advantage of him.
Moreover, she wasn't some pampered young lady who had everything handed to her. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person who had done countless part-time jobs and suffered a great deal of hardship in order to go to school.
So although she doesn't like to suffer, it's not that she can't endure hardship.
Even his shoveling of cow dung became increasingly skillful and adept.
I shoveled half of it and got the ingredients for lunch.
Grandma Chen kept praising her.
“In this day and age, there aren’t many girls as down-to-earth as you. If it weren’t for the fact that your child is already so grown up, I would really like to play matchmaker for you. My son is studying at university in the city and he’s very outstanding.”
Then he went on and on praising his son who was studying at university in the city.
Wen Wan echoed, after all, the old lady had no ill intentions. However, Qiao Xiaoya, who was standing to the side, looked at Wen Wan and had some other thoughts.
This wicked woman is actually quite capable; she's not entirely useless after all.
They went to Lin Ge's place at noon to have a meal together, and then continued shoveling cow dung. Finally, as it was getting dark, they finished the task and were told that they were the first family to complete the task, so they received more food than the others, and even got two pounds of pork ribs.
Two of the other parents did not complete the task within the specified time.
One is Lin Ge, because the little dumpling kept crying, and Lin Ge spent a lot of effort to coax her son.
The other one is Chen Xi.
His task was to catch chickens.
No one expected that a grown man would be afraid of chickens. He cried even louder than chickens when trying to catch them, and in the end, he didn't catch enough chickens. Even Yun Duo performed better than him.
It's really quite embarrassing.
However, the other guests wouldn't leave the two without food, and everyone received just the right amount of ingredients, so they decided to cook and eat together.
Wen Wan contributed another chicken.
Afterwards, they took the initiative to take the children out to play, while the others started cooking with clear division of labor. Lin Ge and Chen Xi knew they hadn't completed their tasks, so they tried their best to do more in this part.
Wen Wan carried a few small candied hawthorns and then began visiting each other in the village.
The director didn't stop it either.
Wen Wan used her terrifying social skills and, with a group of adorable children, obtained quite a few things, including a piece of smoked bacon and several sections of sausage.
After that, we received some fruits and vegetables.
There was even a family who had just finished eating and invited them to join them, but Wen Wan managed to decline with great difficulty.
After all, it's not just me; there are five children too.
By the time we got back to room number one, the meal was almost finished.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal to their heart's content, and then went home to take a shower, since they were all very dirty, not only the children but also the adults, who were covered in sweat and stench.
Chen Kai and Xiao Nuo showered at Chen Xi's house, while Lin Ge showered at Wen Wan's house.
The day's filming was finally over. Everyone was extremely tired and quickly fell asleep. Even Xiaoya, who always bickered with Wen Wan, was curled up in Wen Wan's arms and sleeping soundly.
The third day was their last day here. Early in the morning, Wen Wanqi got up very early and went to grab breakfast before returning.
Qiao Xiaoya slowly woke up and looked at the breakfast on the table. She was about to be touched when the other person said, "Let's each have our own breakfast. Next time it's your turn."
Qiao Xiaoya: "..."
A petty and calculating adult.
The directors gathered, and their task for the last day was to play games with the villagers—children playing games with each other, and adults playing games with each other.
It has to be said that this director is really good at this. After this event, the guests were all happy. The celebrities were no longer just distant figures that could only be seen on TV and the Internet. The initial unfamiliarity and wariness between the two sides were broken down.
The children mingled with the other children in the village, and they also got along well with the villagers. Chen Kai and Liu Zihua even started playing drinking games with the villagers, learning the rules on the spot. They drank tea, and the villagers drank alcohol, after all, they still had to take care of the children, and as celebrities, they couldn't drink in public.
