Chapter 70: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
No matter how upset Xie Yan was, what else could you do to a child? At most, you could just grab the back of his neck and drag him away.
Father Lu, who was still able to read people's expressions, saw that the atmosphere was not good and took the lead in saying goodbye:
"Ha... well, it's getting late. We should gather soon. Let's send the tools back first. See you later!"
Xie Yan hugged Su Youran and watched with a fake smile as Lu Fangyou hurriedly dragged Lu Yichuan out the door. After the two of them disappeared, he looked at his daughter with grievance:
"Baby, boys are bad, don't get too close to them."
Su Youran stroked the braid on her head, her big, sparkling eyes flickering:
"Then I'll play with Sister Tongtong."
Xie Yan's face froze for a moment. That's right, not only boys, but even girls are dangerous now. But he couldn't really say that he couldn't let Ranran play with all the other kids. Otherwise, when the show was broadcast, wouldn't it make his baby seem unsociable?
Although it seems that she is the object of all the children's "favor".
Xie Yan sighed, forget it, he should just keep an eye on them. Ran Ran can do whatever she wants and play with whoever she wants. It's not like he, a grown-up, can't control a few little kids.
Xie Yan thought sinisterly in his heart, Humph, let’s see if you can turn back after you hit my wall!
When the time was almost up, the five groups of guests went to the banquet venue at the reminder of the staff.
This may have been a place like a threshing ground in the past, but now there is no grain drying there and the place is completely empty, with a long table placed on it.
It should be made up of several square tables, covered with red satin. Plates of various colors, patterns and sizes are neatly arranged, including both meat and vegetables, almost filling up the space, which shows the enthusiasm and dedication of the local villagers.
The guests stood in a row and listened to Zhang Heng introduce the village chief, a short, honest and simple man:
"Ah, thank you so much to our kind villagers for preparing so many sumptuous meals. I heard that they started working on it early in the morning. On behalf of the "Dad, Let's Go Travel" program team and the guests, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"
Xie Yan and Su Youran followed the other guests in bowing and thanking the crowd. They had been hungry for almost a day and had not expected to have such a great meal.
Their gratitude was sincere, and the villagers' contributions were also full of heart. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness in life. The smoke of the city was fading away from them, leaving only the tranquility and joy of the countryside.
Of course, there is also abundant food.
No one thought of being polite, they all sat casually at the table, eating and chatting. The children ran around, telling others which dish was more delicious.
This other person is Su Youran.
Xie Yan held her on his lap and fed her from time to time. Although the little one could eat by herself, feeding her was also a pleasure.
The only thing I hate is having people around me.
Lu Yichuan arrived early but did not sit down. He waited until Xie Yan held Su Youran and sat down. Then, before anyone else could react, he sat down next to them.
He also did not forget to take one for Lu Fangyou.
Lu Fangyou: Thank you. Actually, that’s not necessary. There are plenty of empty seats!
Next came He Junchen, who defeated Zheng Xiche and sat on Su Youran’s left.
Zheng Xiche, who failed to grab a seat, wanted to cry but had no tears. He seemed to have bad luck today. The house was shabby, but he was also glad that it was not Ranran's sister who lived there. Otherwise, he would really trade houses with her.
Now I can’t even sit next to Ranran, woohoo, it’s just a little bit short!
He swore that he would never be reconciled with He Junchen!
Unfortunately, Zheng Xiche's brain capacity seemed to be really low. While he was still complaining and glaring at He Junchen and Lu Yichuan who had grabbed the prime seats, little Shi Yutong rolled her eyes and sat opposite Su Youran.
She supported the minibus with her lovely hands and smiled like a flower:
"Sister Ranran, I can look you in the face, hehe."
Zheng Xiche looked at this, then looked at that, tears were about to come out! Zheng Yuan couldn't help but slapped him on the forehead again:
"Oh, son, can you be any more stupid?"
Is this my biological child? Why didn't I realize he was so stupid before?!
Xie Yan didn't look around, just focused on feeding his baby girl. Haha, what's the point of sitting close? No one is closer than me?
Because there are too many dishes on the table, if you don't move, you can only eat the few dishes at hand. Zheng Yuan secretly gave his stupid son some advice:
"Look, doesn't that dish over there look sweet? Go and serve some to the other kids."
Zheng Xiche's eyes lit up and he glanced at his father:
"No wonder mom always says you're a bit too fussy, it turns out you're right."
"Hey!" Zheng Yuan glared, "Boy, I'm helping you! Besides, when did I ever spend money? I spent all that time on your mom!"
Zheng Xiche rolled his eyes and ran to pick the dishes he thought were delicious. Zheng Yuan was left fuming. Good intentions were not rewarded. Let's see if I will help you again in the future!
Shi Lei patted his shoulder, showing some sympathy:
"Brother Zheng, come on, I'll toast you with a drink instead of wine."
Later, He Yuze and Lu Fangyou also came to join in the fun. The four fathers formed a "sightseeing group" and watched the three boys and a girl running around the place, competing to find food they thought was delicious and then "tribute" it to the little princess Su Youran.
Whoever gets a smile or a nod from the little princess will cheer as if he has won a prize, and then go on to look for others.
Shi Lei couldn't help but tease Xie Yan who was as still as a mountain:
"Thank you, brother. You don't have to work so hard anymore. I feel like you can reach the pinnacle of life by relying on your daughter!"
The boys were quite smart. Not only did they pick up food for their sister Ranran, they also knew to try to please their "young father-in-law" Xie Yan. The food in the bowl in front of him was almost piled up into a small mountain.
On the other hand, their fathers, well, are self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing.
Xie Yan waved his hands helplessly:
“Then I’d rather work on my own.”
Everyone laughed, their daughter was indeed a sweet burden.
As they chatted and laughed, it was dark before they knew it. Everyone was full and Zhang Heng was obviously much more relaxed:
"There are no other tasks today. Everyone can go back and rest early. You can make your own breakfast tomorrow morning. We will gather here again at nine o'clock."
Speaking of breakfast, Zheng Yuan, who was originally leaning leisurely on the chair, immediately sat up straight:
"Director, we don't have anything in our thatched hut, how are we going to make breakfast?"
Zhang Heng spread his hands:
"I don't care about that."
Zheng Yuan looked at the others pitifully:
"Brothers, is there anyone who can help us with a meal tomorrow? It's not much, just me."
It took Zheng Xiche a while to realize what his father meant, and he jumped up instantly:
"Dad! What about me?!"
Zheng Yuan looked at him like he was a fool, then winked at Su Youran. Zheng Xiche blinked and was about to be happy when he heard Lu Yichuan say:
"We have the tools and some food, but my dad doesn't know how to cook... Uncle Xie, can we go to your place tomorrow?"
Xie Yan smiled politely, but before he could say anything, He Junchen took the lead:
"My family has plenty of food, and my dad can cook! Come to my house!"
He Yuze, who was drinking water: Cough cough cough... Son, you really know how to find things for your dad to do!
He finally caught his breath and smiled strangely:
"Yes, yes, I'm a pretty good cook and my house is big, so you all come, come on."
Lu Yichuan looked at He Junchen silently, and He Junchen's eyes were full of pride:
"Huh, you want to have breakfast with sister Ranran? You wish!"
Zheng Yuan looked at the two children, and then at his own stupid son who looked listless and stupid. Oh my god, he felt the crushing IQ.
Well, he felt it for his son.
Shi Yutong held Su Youran's hand and swung it back and forth:
"Ran Ran, do you want to sleep with me? My house is very big, with many rooms!"
Xie Yan stood up while holding Su Youran in his arms. His handsome face was as still as a sculpture. He was polite to everyone.
"No need, Ranran still wants me to tell her a story before going to bed, otherwise she can't fall asleep. Thank you, Tongtong."
Shi Yutong said "Oh" in disappointment, and Shi Lei took her by the hand and started to walk back. She was really tired after the day.
Su Youran hugged Xie Yan's neck and watched him walk slowly and leisurely. She pointed at the ground and said:
"Dad, Shadow."
The sky had become completely dark, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Perhaps because it was far away from the city, there were many more stars. The breeze blew by, adding a touch of coolness to this summer night.
The houses on both sides of the road have all turned on their lights. The dim light shines on the father and daughter, casting an almost continuous shadow on the ground, which looks warm and sweet.
Xie Yan's eyes were like water, and only tenderness remained in his cold brows. For the first time since the recording of the program, he felt that agreeing to the next step was not a bad thing.
Such a quiet night, such a leisurely and comfortable time, as if he and the little person in his arms were the only ones left in the world.
The muddy road under my feet has also become a road to happiness.
At this moment, Xie Yan actually had the thought of staying here for a long time. Unfortunately, this thought disappeared immediately when he entered the simple hut.
Forget it. It's fun to stay here for a few days. But after a long time, he will feel sorry for his baby.
She wanted to give her daughter the best words of thanks, but due to the "pressure" of reality, she could only make do with fetching water for Su Youran to soak her feet.
He squatted on the ground and tested the water temperature several times before carefully taking off the little guy's shoes and socks and putting his little feet into the basin:
"I can't take a shower today. Can you get used to it?"
Su Youran soaked her delicate white feet in the warm water. Her dainty little feet curled up and she squinted her eyes in comfort.
"It's a habit. As long as Dad is around, I'll get used to it."
Xie Yan carefully washed her little feet and gently touched her with his head:
"Dad can be anywhere as long as Ranran is by my side."
The first day of the trip finally ended with the father and daughter falling asleep in each other's arms.
"dad……"
"Um?"
"It's nice to have a dad."
"It's great that Dad has Ranran."
"hey-hey."
