Chapter 12
On the show.
The guests had a simple farm breakfast together.
When Bo Yiming was walking out with a piece of red sweet potato in his hand, he found a small white square box on the lawn in the atrium that came from nowhere.
"Little daddy! Come quickly!" Bo Yiming stretched out his arm to greet him, "There's something."
He swallowed the sweet potato, which was as sweet as honey, in just a few bites.
Everyone heard the noise and gathered around to study the box.
Zhu Wei asked in confusion, "Could it be that the show from yesterday came in while we were asleep?"
She bent over to pick up the box.
Bo Yiming suddenly stretched out his arm to stop her, his face full of anxiety: "Auntie, what if there is something scary in there?"
Xingxing: "Snake?"
Rongrong: "Toad?"
Xiao Qi: "Dad's cell phone!"
The air was quiet, and everyone turned to look at the kid.
Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue and buried her little face in her father's arms.
Everyone's eyes shifted to Zhou Xu's face. He laughed awkwardly: "My phone always receives calls that I don't want to answer, so it's scary. Do you all understand?"
The three children still had questions in their eyes.
Wen Cishu reached over his son to get the box and made an analogy: "It's like you are playing on holiday and your teacher suddenly calls you."
The three kids suddenly realized what was going on. They saluted Zhou Xu and made a strange sound of "Oh~~~~~" in unison.
Zhou Xu was so angry that he pointed and said, "Why are you looking at me? Look at the task card! Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the task and go home on time."
[Wife, you made a good analogy. Don’t do it next time. It’s scary.]
[Wow, these three little ones are so cute. Xiaoqi is also super cute. I’ll kiss them one by one~]
[Little Rongrong actually matched the rhythm of his two brothers, so cool]
Wen Cishu opened the lid of the box and found an envelope with "Small Tasks for Farm Labor Day" written on it, as well as several cute hand-painted cards.
"Dear children, welcome to the Farm Work Day mission. Considering that you consumed a lot of food from the farm yesterday, you must work hard for the farm before leaving today, otherwise you may be left to work on the farm."
The four children looked at each other.
Xingxing: "Stay on the farm?"
Rongrong: "Working all the time?"
Xiao Qi: “Huh?”
Bo Yiming: "Wow, that's great!"
【? ? No, why are you so excited? ! 】
[You actually want to play on the farm forever? Isn't your home fun? 】
[Maybe there aren’t so many kids at home]
[Mingzai said yesterday that his grandpa would hire a tutor whenever he wanted. In comparison, the farm is definitely more fun~]
Wen Cishu read out the remaining labor tasks on the card.
"We prepared several baskets for the kids to collect the ripe potatoes and carrots from the fields. Parents need to prepare a hearty lunch for the kids while acting as the farm owner, supervising, weighing, and recording the crops the kids have collected to ensure that nothing is left out or wasted. Remember, parents are not allowed to pick up potatoes and carrots."
As the head of the family, Zhu Wei immediately said, "Then let me and Teacher Zhou take care of the cooking. How about that? Teacher Chu, you and Yiming's father will be responsible for supervising the inspection work?"
No one had any objection.
Xingxing asked, "Then let's divide the work, shall we?"
Bo Yiming thought for a moment and said, "No, it's better if we go together. Xiaoqi and Rongrong are too young. Let's dig potatoes first and then pick carrots."
Zhou Xu smiled and reminded him: "Yiming, carrots also need to be dug."
"Is that so?" Bo Yiming was surprised and turned to look at the person beside him, "Little dad, is this true?"
Wen Cishu explained: "It's in the fairy tale book. When the little rabbit pulls the carrot, it pulls it out of the mud."
Bo Yiming muttered, "Little Dad has never seen radishes in the field."
Wen Dictionary: ...
[Mingzai: Please call me a professional saboteur]
[I feel like my wife has never seen it (in fact, many people in the city have never seen it, so I can’t blame my wife~]
[Me too... but I know it's in the ground, I just don't know what the above-ground part looks like]
After figuring out the mission situation, Bo Yiming was responsible for taking the small plastic tools.
Then the four little ones held hands and walked out together from tallest to shortest.
The jumping figures on the ridge of the field are childlike and fresh.
Wen Cishu and Chu Han helped to carry the basket and followed them out.
-
The potato field is not large overall, with six neat ridges.
Except for the mud pit left at one end where it was dug yesterday, the other ridges were covered with lush green stems and leaves.
Chu Han was afraid that the children didn't know how to dig, so he gave some instructions from the side.
"Rongrong, you dug it yesterday, can you show us how?"
"Yeah." Rongrong gently pulled away the leaves on the ground, and then used a small plastic shovel to dig up the loose soil, revealing a bunch of potatoes.
"It's so easy!" Bo Yiming immediately crossed to another ridge, "Then I'll start from here."
Xingxing took a small blue shovel and went to the nearby ridge.
Seeing that Xiaoqi was about to leave, Wen Cishu hurriedly said, "Yiming, you go with Xiaoqi. You dig the soil and let Xiaoqi pick it up."
When Xiao Qi heard his uncle's arrangement, he happily ran to his brother and raised his little head: "Brother, dig quickly~"
Bo Yiming squatted down: "Okay, brother will start right away! Big Potato, here I come!"
Wen Cishu looked at Rongrong's small figure who had already started to shovel the soil, and said, "Xingxing, how about you and Rongrong go together?"
Xingxing just squatted down, then stood up again and looked at Rongrong who just looked up.
It seems like my sister is left alone.
He jumped over the potato ridge like a rabbit and walked to Rongrong. "I'll dig it."
"Hmm~" Rongrong nodded and helped her brother push away some leaves. "Dig here."
The two adults didn't dare to relax too much and were observing carefully.
It’s not that I’m afraid they will miss some potatoes, but I’m afraid the shovel or something will hurt their little hands.
After a while, Xiao Qi exclaimed: "Wow, what a big potato."
He held it high with both hands and showed it to everyone.
Zhou Xu came over just in time: "Come on, give this potato to dad, he is cooking."
Xiao Qi directly protected it to his chest and squatted down next to his brother, fearing that it would be snatched away: "No, Dad! This big potato is very powerful."
Bo Yiming held two small shovels in his hands, like a little rabbit digging a hole, and frantically dug the soil on both sides of his feet. He nodded: "Yes, big potatoes are rare. Uncle, please take the small ones."
Zhou Xu had no choice but to bend down and pick from the basket.
After he left, Wen Cishu helped push the basket closer to the two children to prevent the little ones from walking back and forth stupidly with the potatoes in their arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi, who was squatting in a ball, made a happy little voice: "Uncle is fine~"
Wen Cishu smiled and rubbed his hair: "Come on, Xiaoqi."
At this time, Bo Yiming looked up and said, "Little Dad, I have to work hard too."
Wen Cishu also ruffled his hair: "Come on, Mingming, baby!"
"Hehe~" Bo Yiming has begun to get used to and even likes his little dad calling him that.
[It's great that Mingzai just asked for his dad's care.]
[Tsk, what kind of father-son love are you showing off just for digging a potato?]
On the other side, Chu Han, like Wen Cishu, followed the two little ones and was ready to lend a hand at any time.
Rongrong was digging very hard, so Xingxing asked her to take a break. "Rongrong, just pick up some small potatoes like Xiaoqi did."
"No, I want to dig hard too." Rongrong said softly, "Brother, can we put it in the basket later?"
She spoke softly the entire time, and Xingxing nodded without hesitation. "Um!"
The children worked very hard and showed no signs of fatigue or reluctance.
Wen Cishu looked at the dug mud pit. He didn't even know that his little monkey was so patient and sensible and could take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
It seems that accompanying him to the show was really a wise choice.
"Yiming, Daddy's going to get some water. Don't be in a hurry, just dig slowly." Wen Cishu greeted Chu Han and asked her to take care of it, then went to the kitchen.
Bo Yiming was digging happily when the screen of his watch started flashing. "Huh?"
Xiao Qi came closer curiously: "Brother, what is this?"
"Grandpa is calling." Bo Yiming bent his fingers and tapped the screen with the only clean knuckle, "Grandpa, hello." 】
Xiao Qi frowned and wondered curiously, what is his brother talking about? Why doesn't he understand?
【French?】 】
[Knock!] I almost forgot that Mingzai is a Chinese-French hybrid.]
[You can’t memorize English words, but you know French, right? OK, OK, OK, you are mixed-race and you can speak multiple languages, you are amazing]
-
Inside the RV.
Bo Tingyuan, who had been reviewing documents with his head down, immediately raised his eyes and looked at his youngest son on the screen when he heard the name.
Uncle Xu was pouring tea when he paused holding the teapot.
Bo Yiming's grandfather, Bo Tingyuan's father, broke with the old man of the Bo family in his early years in order to pursue his ideal career and resolutely gave up the huge assets of the Bo family.
If Bo Tingyuan had not returned to China later, it is estimated that all the Bo family’s assets would have been handed over to other branches.
As a member of the older generation, Grandpa Bo could not accept the choice of his only son. At the moment of separation, he ordered him to change his surname "Bo". Therefore, he later changed his name to Li, Li Yun.
Li Yun has been working for the government. He was already an important official at the Chinese Consulate in France more than 20 years ago. Later, he worked in consulates of many European countries.
In the past two years, as he grew older, he returned home more often.
Uncle Xu has a complicated attitude towards Li Yun, the former young master.
I respect his choice, but I don't understand his decision.
He continued to pour tea, observing the reaction of the young master as he passed it over.
Bo Tingyuan never showed his emotions most of the time, especially when it came to matters between father and son, which he kept secret.
He just watched quietly the conversation between his son and grandfather on the screen.
-
On the show.
Li Yun: [Good boy, are you at home? 】
Bo Yiming looked at his hands covered in mud and didn't know how to explain to his grandfather who was far away abroad that he was digging potatoes. 【Play outside, Grandpa】
But immediately afterwards his tone became happy, [My little dad came out with me. 】
Li Yun: [How is your little father doing recently? 】
Bo Yiming nodded: [It’s a little better than before. The doctor has come to see me. Grandpa, do you miss me? 】
Li Yun smiled: [That’s right. Also, Grandpa’s birthday is coming up in a few days, and he’d like to invite you and your little dad over for dinner, and of course, your big dad too. If you can invite him for grandpa. 】
Bo Yiming said “hmm…” for a few seconds, “Okay, I’ll try it. 】
The little guy reacted very quickly and said with a smile, "Then wish Grandpa a happy birthday first." Am I the first one? 】
Li Yun's tone rose noticeably: [Of course the first one. 】
Bo Yiming had to dig potatoes quickly, so he said goodbye to his grandfather and hung up the phone.
Someone in the audience of the show gave a brief translation on the barrage, and everyone understood what the two men were saying.
[Mingzai actually took the initiative to send his blessings. With this kind of reaction and emotional intelligence, his sister has to admit he is better]
Why do the grandfather and grandson speak French? How strange!
[Grandpa is abroad, right?] 】
[I am becoming more and more curious. What kind of family is this? 】
[An entire night has passed, and no one has uncovered the background of Mingzai and his wife? 】
[I’m dying of laughter. I still don’t know Mingzai’s last name!] 】
[So, we don’t even know my wife’s real name]
[Big guys in the audience, come on and dig! It depends on you! 】
Wen Cishu came back with some water and distributed it to the children and Chu Han one by one. "Drink some water first. Stop for a moment. Don't worry. It will be done soon."
Bo Yiming didn't mention what happened with his grandfather just now and planned to talk about it when he got home.
He took a few gulps of water and sighed, "Little dad, it's a good thing you don't have to dig potatoes."
Wen Cishu wiped his sweat with concern: "Are you very tired?"
"No." Bo Yiming shook his head. "If it was Little Daddy who dug it, Big Daddy would definitely rush in and take you away."
Wen Cishu wiped his son's sweaty hands and paused: "......?"
Where is this paragraph? I want to see it, hehehe]
[Program crew, why don’t you do something that the audience likes, but let four children do farm work for you? You are just immoral.]
[Program crew: ...I don’t know, no one informed us in advance! 】
[Very good, this variety show missed a famous scene today]
