Chapter 4 The four little brats are not worthy of being told.
Doudou sat in his small dining chair, eating oat noodle fish one bite at a time, his eyes following Shen Qingyue's body and following his movements.
The soup base of the oat noodle fish is made of tomatoes and eggs. When the sweet and fresh soup reaches his mouth, he will wipe it with a tissue, and his little mouth will be soaked in red.
Shen Qingyue pushed the door open and walked through the garden. He saw a particularly fancy white bus not far outside the gate heading towards him.
There are many small animals painted on the white body of this bus. The most eye-catching one in the front is a majestic lion king. There are not only small animals on the body of the bus, but also sunshine, grass, green trees and red flowers. It is very eye-catching on this overly quiet road.
"It's a bit like the school bus that picks up children in the kindergarten."
Shen Qingyue silently gave his evaluation in his heart.
While he was thinking, he had already reached the gate. The "school bus" had already stopped at the roadside parking spot. Then four young men and women jumped out of it. They looked young, about 25 or 26 years old.
The person walking in front was the first to smile and greet Shen Qingyue: "Good morning, Mr. Shen, I am Xu Can, the director of "Baby is Coming"."
The director's habit of greeting was exactly the same as on WeChat. Shen Qingyue took the initiative to shake his hand and then said, "Hello, Director Xu. It's hot. Let's go in and talk first."
Doudou had already finished his oat noodle and fish, and was now drinking soup from a small bowl. The soup contained minced beef, and his tiny teeth had no difficulty chewing it.
Hearing the noise coming from the door, Doudou raised his head from his bowl, looked out, and saw his uncle opening the door and walking in. He was about to grin and call Xiao Susu when four other strangers appeared in his sight.
He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the small bowl and put it back on the table in front of him. There were still a few drops of tomato juice on his face. He pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Shen Qingyue wiped his mouth with a tissue, then picked up Doudou from the dining chair.
"This kid must be Doudou~"
Xu Can's eyes fell on Doudou as soon as he entered the room. The cub was wearing a black and white panda suit with a panda doll lying on its chest, looking like it was sleeping in Doudou's arms. There were also two pieces of bamboo leaf-like fabric at the collar, which made the cub's skin look even whiter, its big eyes were bright, and the little flesh on its cheeks looked very elastic!
When he thought about inviting such a cute kid, he began to hold back the ending tone of his voice because of the cuteness. He leaned over to look at Doudou and smiled: "I am Uncle Xu Can."
"Hello, Xu Cansusu." Doudou's voice was small, soft and obedient.
Suddenly facing so many strangers, he felt a little embarrassed. From the moment he got off the dining chair, he carefully held Shen Qingyue's finger and hid behind him. When he heard Xu Can's words, he curiously poked his little head out and greeted them seriously. He was a very polite baby.
"Hello, hello." Xu Can tried hard to control the urge to go forward and rub the cub's soft black hair. He held back his smile, stood up and said to Shen Qingyue, "Mr. Shen, we talked about some things on WeChat yesterday. Today I brought the contract for the show, as well as the remuneration. If you have any questions, just ask directly."
"Let's take Doudou to play over there? You guys chat first." A long-haired girl who had just been standing behind Xu Can spoke softly.
Shen Qingyue glanced at Doudou, who also looked up at him. Shen Qingyue smiled and said, "Doudou wants to go to the TV station to play, right? These brothers and sisters are here to play with us. Doudou can make friends with them first."
"Good friends!" Doudou's originally timid expression immediately turned into joy. His eyes lit up when he looked at the directors, and he shyly said, "Let's play together."
He was held up by the hand and led to the corner of the TV cabinet. He took out his favorite toy and took the initiative to share it with his "good friends".
Xu Can took out a stack of paper contracts from his bag and said, "This paper contract has some more content than yesterday's version. Please take a look."
Shen Qingyue read it carefully. Basically, it just added some risk notifications and disclaimers, which were all within a reasonable range. The remuneration was also generous, a figure that he could not get even after working diligently in the kindergarten for ten years.
"Our show will start filming in three days, so the schedule will be a little tight. The show crew has prepared daily necessities for the guests. Parents just need to bring themselves and their cubs, as well as your daily necessities."
Xu Can was smiling all the time: "If there are no problems, you and Doudou's guardian will sign the contract, and the live broadcast will start on time at 10 am three days later."
Shen Qingyue frowned slightly. Doudou is still a person with no civil capacity. Things like signing a contract must be carried out with the presence of a guardian, otherwise the contract will be invalid and can be revoked. He was so busy asking Doudou's opinion that he forgot such an important matter.
"Are you dissatisfied with something? We can still discuss it."
As soon as he saw Doudou today, he knew that he was definitely the traffic password of this live broadcast program. Such a well-behaved and cute kid would be a good choice to be a mascot in the program.
The last time he had this feeling was about the kid named Xunxun, who was brought up by Gu Xianzhi, the eldest son of the Gu family. However, Xunxun was not the same type as Doudou. Although the kid also looked stunning at first glance, he seemed to have a bad temper.
Shen Qingyue paused: "Doudou's parents are not in the country now, the contract..."
"Oh, that's all right."
Xu Can immediately came up with a solution: "Electronic contracts have the same effect. You just need to sign the contract before the show starts filming. If Dou Dou's guardian is dissatisfied with anything, you can contact me directly and our show team will negotiate."
"Okay, thank you." Shen Qingyue nodded.
After chatting for a while, Xu Can took the other three people to say goodbye to them with a smile. When leaving, Dou Dou was still reluctant to leave his good friends and waved his little short hand reluctantly.
"Is Doudou happy today?" Shen Qingyue squatted in front of him and poked his little cheek.
Doudou smiled with his little eyes crooked: "I'm happy today."
Shen Qingyue stood up, took the kid's hand and led him upstairs: "Does Doudou like playing with his good friends?"
"I love flipping over." Doudou used his free hand to pinch the little panda cub on his chest, and said with a smile and a baby voice: "I love flipping over my good friends, and I love flipping over Xiao Susu the most."
Going upstairs, Shen Qingyue opened the contacts on his mobile phone. The original owner's address book was empty, without even a single person.
He asked Doudou: "Do you know your parents' phone numbers?"
Doudou's expression looked a little confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Not to mention the phone number, we hadn't even met in person for a few times. I guess if we were separated for a long time, he would have completely forgotten it.
There was no choice but to look through the WeChat list. Fortunately, I found a friend with the note "Big Brother". I opened the Moments and saw that the cover was Doudou, but he was very small when the photo was taken, like a baby's hundred-day-old photo.
He called the number directly, and the person on the other end picked up the call quickly. A deep male voice came over: "Xiaoqing, what's going on?"
Shen Qingyue had thought about what to say before he made the call. He started politely, "Brother, this is what happened. There is a variety show about taking care of children that invited me and Doudou to go together. I was hesitating before. Yesterday I asked Doudou for his opinion. He wants to go, but the guardian's consent is required to sign the contract, so I came to ask for your opinion."
There was silence for a few seconds, and then he said calmly: "If Doudou wants to go, go ahead. Send the contract to my assistant's email and I will reply within 24 hours."
Shen Qingyue had not expected that he would agree so readily. All the words that she had originally prepared, such as they could watch the live broadcast even when they were abroad and they could watch Dou Dou whenever they wanted, and that Dou Dou would soon go to kindergarten, so they could have some fun before then, were not used at all.
He was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses: "Okay, then send me your email address."
Shen Runfeng hummed and asked, "How's your health lately?"
Shen Qingyue's tone was a little more relaxed: "It's fine, so taking Doudou out to play can also relax you."
"That's good." Shen Runfeng said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Shen Qingyue said hello, and the call termination prompt tone sounded.
He found it a little bit baffling because he dealt with a lot of different kinds of parents at work, and it was common for many parents to be too busy with work to take care of their children.
But it was the first time he had seen someone like his elder brother, who didn't care about his child after having one. He didn't even remember to ask about his own health when he called, but didn't ask if Dou Dou was doing well. He was so uncaring.
He glanced at the kid. Doudou was sitting at the foot of the bed, holding a little doll with a smile on his face. He didn't know what he was concentrating on. A little black and white ball was sitting there, looking chubby, with two short legs swinging back and forth, proving that the kid was very happy.
Shen Qingyue sent the electronic contract he had signed to the email address his elder brother gave him, and the other party automatically replied with a received email.
He put his phone aside and walked over to sit next to Doudou: "Doudou, we can set off the day after tomorrow."
"Is my hair thick?" Doudou repeated with his mouth open in confusion.
Shen Qingyue chuckled and imitated the kid's tone: "Cufa is going to play in Dian Si Li with Xiao Susu."
The cub raised his hands in joy and said, "It's a big deal! The TV is a big deal!"
