Chapter 55 Exclusive (55) Two in one. …

Gu Yuzhi was not as surprised as him and just shook his head: "It's not cold."

"My hands feel a little cold even when I wear a down jacket." Shen Qingyue said, rubbing his fingers with his palms clasped together.

Gu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and took a look. Shen Qingyue's fingers were white, with slightly red fingertips, and looked a little stiff. He was really frozen by the cold wind.

He leaned over to the side and rummaged through his bag, pulling out Xiaoxun's small dinosaur plastic cup, which was half filled with water. He handed the water to Shen Qingyue: "Ask the production team for some hot water before getting on the bus, to warm your hands."

Shen Qingyue was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly narrowed, and without refusing, he took the cup of hot water and covered it in his palm.

The water temperature was quite hot, and there was a slight tingling sensation when holding it in the palm of my hand, but it was not uncomfortable and it did dispel a lot of the chill.

"Are you feeling better?" Gu Xizhi asked softly when he saw Shen Qingyue slowly relaxing.

Shen Qingyue nodded, with a gentle and beautiful smile on her face: "Much better, thank you."

Doudou, Xiaoxun and Maimai were still chattering about their experiences of the week. Maimai became more talkative as well and was happily sharing his snacks with them.

"Everyone is here. It seems we didn't come too early." Nuonuo's mother led Nuonuo up the stairs and greeted everyone warmly.

This mother and daughter were wearing more clothes than Dou Dou and Shen Qingyue. Little Nuonuo was wearing a long down jacket in a creamy taro color, and she and her mother were wearing parent-child outfits, and they also had furry little boots. They looked like they were carved from the same mold.

There were large fur collars on their down jackets, and they put the fur collars on, leaving only their faces exposed.

Nuonuo's mother picked a seat and sat down, and greeted them warmly: "Hi, Xiao Shen, Xiao Gu, when did you arrive?"

"Two minutes earlier than you." Shen Qingyue smiled.

Nuonuo's mother looked at Gu Xizhi with some surprise: "Little Gu, aren't you cold?"

Gu Xizhi answered seriously: "It's not cold."

"You are really amazing. This is what young people are like. They can withstand cold weather." Mother Nuonuo gave her a thumbs up.

Shen Qingyue, who was listening to their conversation, also looked at Gu Xunzhi with a smile in his eyes.

【Ahahahaha “young people” “can’t stand the cold”】

[Gu Tanzhi is indeed young, about the same age as Xiao Shen’s wife, as far as I can remember, but Xiao Shen is the youngest here]

[It’s nothing now, but when we get to Jiangcheng, the temperature will teach them a lesson.]

[Who wears a windbreaker in the snow? This is about style over temperature]

[Is it possible that the fabrics of rich people's windbreakers are different from ours? Maybe theirs are very warm? ]

[Why didn’t anyone care that Gu Xianzhi used Xiao Xun’s cup to fill with hot water to warm Xiao Shen’s hands? I watched the whole process and felt that he did it on purpose. It was a bit strange.]

[Yes, yes, I feel the same way.]

"A new episode, we all meet again. How have you been doing in the past week, kids and adults?"

The bus with cute graffiti painted on its body started slowly. Xu Can stood up from the front and started filming with a smile.

"Good!" The crisp little voice echoed throughout the car. Doudouzi clapped his hands very considerately and looked at the camera with sparkling eyes.

"good!"

"OK!"

——

The remaining cubs immediately responded loudly like Dou Dou, clapping their hands.

Xiao Xun leaned his head from behind to look through the gap between the seats, but could only see the corner of Doudou's clothes. He was a little disappointed, but when he heard his brother's laughing voice in front of him, his mood quickly returned to normal.

"This time, our destination is Xiaoniu Village in Jiangcheng. It's snowing in Jiangcheng recently. Do you like snow?"

Xu Can continued to passionately mobilize the enthusiasm of the cubs.

Doudou tilted his head and looked at his uncle with some curiosity.

In the cub's memory, he has seen snow in winter, but his aunt said that snow was very cold and icy, and that touching it would make one catch a cold, so he could not play with it. Therefore, the cub was basically kept at home in winter and not taken out.

When he occasionally goes out, he is fully armed with a hat, scarf, gloves and mask, and he goes out for a walk and then comes back.

So Doudou can’t say he hates the snow in winter, but he definitely doesn’t like it either.

"Doudou?" Shen Qingyue noticed the cub's gaze and reached out to stroke the cub's black hair: "Why are you staring at your uncle?"

"Xiao Susu, I have a secret." Doudou grabbed Shen Qingyue's sleeve mysteriously, pulled it gently, and signaled his uncle to lean over.

Shen Qingyue also naturally leaned over and put his ear close to the kid: "Okay, what secret do you want to tell me?"

The cub carefully covered his mouth with one hand, lowered his voice, and said slowly in a low voice: "I don't like to turn over."

"Don't like it?" Shen Qingyue repeated in a low voice, then turned to look at the cub and said in a low voice: "Don't you like snow?"

"Hmm!" Doudou retracted his hand and looked up at his uncle: "These four secrets."

"I know Doudou's secret, and my uncle won't tell anyone else." Shen Qingyue pinched the kid's cheek and coaxed him softly.

[It’s understandable that Zaizai didn’t know, but Xiaoshen, why don’t you remember that you all have wheat on your bodies? Hahaha]

[This is so funny. I guess the crew gave them these t-shirts before they got on the bus. Now they’ve forgotten about it again.]

[How strange! Don’t children like water, rain, and snow?]

[Maybe my baby is delicate, he just likes to be a clean and pretty baby]

In the live broadcast, other children were already chattering about making snowmen and having snowball fights. Shen Qingyue approached Doudou and asked curiously, "But why doesn't Doudou like it?"

The cub's fair face was full of seriousness: "Because it will make me sick."

"Hmm?" Shen Qingyue was a little confused.

Doudou continued, "I don't like turning over snow. I'm sick. I have to take medicine and get injections. I don't like turning over snow."

At the end, the cub seemed to have thought of something terrible, and while speaking, he shook his little head and confirmed again: "I don't like to turn over."

Shen Qingyue couldn't help but hold the cub in his arms and patiently whispered in Doudou's ear: "We are all wearing thick clothes, so we won't get sick. Doudou has never played in the snow, but his brothers and sisters have, and they all like it very much. So we can give it a try. If we really don't like it, we won't play, okay?"

After all, Jiangcheng is also known as the Ice and Snow Kingdom, and the games and tasks designed by the program team are probably related to ice and snow. If Doudou is very resistant to these, it doesn't seem good.

But he also thought about it in his heart. If Dou Dou really didn't like it after trying it, he would just negotiate with the program team.

Doudou stared at the big camera and the smiling director uncle in front of him. The kid thought carefully for a while, then nodded to the uncle: "Okay!"

Shen Qingyue held the baby in his arms again.

"Everyone, take a short break in the car. We will soon reach our destination for today." Xu Can glanced out the window. There were many people walking on the street, all wearing thick cotton clothes. "Remember to put on your coat before getting off the car and take precautions against the cold."

The temperature of the water cup in his palm became slightly cooler. Shen Qingyue lowered his eyes to take a look, then turned to Gu Yanzhi and said, "The water is not hot anymore. I'll fill it with hot water and return it to you after we get off the bus."

“No need.” Gu Danzhi shook his head: “Xiaoxun and I have thermos bottles. If you feel cold, you can refill them.”

"Oh, OK." Shen Qingyue agreed and handed the cup over: "I'll get off the car in a while, so I won't use it for now."

"Yeah." Gu Xizhi took the cup.

Snow began to accumulate on the road, and as we drove forward, all we saw was a city covered in snow, with snowflakes floating in the air.

Large flakes of pure white snow fell from the sky, landing on the eaves and the ground, dyeing the area white with frost and snow. Just by looking out from the car, one could feel the cold.

"This is Jiangcheng, but our destination today is not here. We have to walk a little further to a small village under Jiangcheng."

As Xu Can introduced the place to everyone, the photographer pointed the camera out the window: "Jiangcheng is also known as the Kingdom of Ice and Snow. Whether it's the ice sculptures, ice sleds, sleds, or ice and snow parks, they are all a major feature of this place. We will have fun to our heart's content this time!"

"Wow! That's great!" Nuonuo was happily lying in front of the car window, breathing out the hot air and drawing on the glass. Hearing this, she raised her little hands and cheered.

Mai Mai asked, "Uncle, can we build a snowman together?"

Xu Can smiled widely: "Of course you can, babies can play whatever they want, the uncles and aunts from the program team will ensure everyone's safety."

"Then Miki, you can recite some snow-related poems to your younger brothers and sisters." Ishimori reminded, patting his cub on the back.

Miki was originally looking at the scenery outside the window with her head turned, feeling a little drowsy, but when her father cueed her, she immediately stood up and faced the director's team.

"I'll recite a poem for you called 'After the Snow in the Mountains' by Zheng Xie, a Qing Dynasty poet." Miki cleared her throat and recited it with a serious expression: "When I woke up in the morning and opened the door, the mountains were covered with snow. When the snow cleared, the clouds were light and the sun was cold..."

At the end of the poem, Ishimori looked at his son's back with some pride, feeling very happy.

He thought of this program when he saw the online speculation about going to Jiangcheng yesterday. Fortunately, the netizens' speculation was correct, and he asked Miki to recite several ancient poems about snow overnight, which was also correct.

The other kids in the carriage were silent. Doudou seemed to understand what was said, but the other kids had never heard it before. They all looked at Brother Miki with admiration and surprise.

Only Xiao Xun looked calmly at Miki who was performing, with no emotion from beginning to end.

[Damn, such a young child can recite ancient poems. It turns out that there is a reason why people on the Internet say Miki is a child prodigy.]

[But I feel like Miki is very tired. He almost fell asleep with his head resting on the car. The car looks so bumpy. Doesn’t his head hurt?]

[Why did Ishimori cue his own son? It must be because he is confident. But is he really confident that Miki can speak out immediately, or has he prepared in advance? Who can say for sure?]

[Never mind, don’t let the adults’ intrigues affect children. When I was three years old, I was not familiar with these ancient poems. I could not even recognize a few words.]

[Who noticed Xiaoxun's expression? It's exactly the same as Gu Xunzhi's. That's why people say nephews look like their uncles.]

[I think Xiaoxunzi can recite it too. Seeing how calm he is, he might know more than Miki.]

[I think so too, but with Xiao Xun's cool personality, he probably won't take the initiative to do it.]

[Hmm… the scene where Miki’s dad asked him to stand up and recite the text reminded me of the fear I had when I was a kid and my parents asked me to stand up and perform for everyone during the New Year’s Eve dinner.]

[+1, it is simply the psychological shadow of elementary school! ]

"Wow, our baby Miki is so amazing. Uncles and aunts, give you a round of applause!" Xu Can led the PDs of the program team to clap their hands enthusiastically.

The kids and their parents also applauded and praised.

Miki looked at her father and saw that Ishimori was also smiling with satisfaction. Then a smile appeared on her little face. After thanking the director, she sat down properly in her chair.

*

The car drove into a slightly muddy road with familiar ridges and houses on both sides. Shen Qingyue estimated in his heart that they should be there soon, and the next second he heard Xu Can's voice.

"Parents and children, please prepare your clothes and belongings. We have arrived at Xiaoniu Village and you can get off the bus now!"

Doudou didn't sleep the whole way. In fact, the little cub had already felt sleepy due to the warm air in the car.

But Shen Qingyue was afraid that he would catch a cold if he got off the car directly after waking up, so she kept poking Zizi's little face and pinching his soft little hands to prevent him from falling asleep.

"We're getting off the bus, Doudou." Shen Qingyue took out the coats, scarves, hats and other items he had packed when getting on the bus and put them on the cub and himself. Other families also started to move.

"Brother Xiaoxun, why don't you wear clothes?" Doudou had a scarf wrapped around his chin and neck, making the cub's already soft face even rounder, looking like a little pink dumpling, making people want to pinch it.

Xiao Xun was originally resistant to his uncle letting him wear a down jacket. He wanted to learn from Gu Tan and wear a simple coat when going out.

But when Doudou looked at him with his bright eyes, and then at the clothes his brother was wearing, Xiaoxun shook his head: "I am wearing it, but I haven't put it on yet."

"Oh!" Doudou nodded his head to show his understanding: "If you don't wear clothes, you will have to get an injection!"

Xiao Xun: “…”

The car stopped in front of a spacious courtyard. There were many small vegetable gardens around it. However, due to the weather, the vegetable gardens were covered with a thick layer of snow, and one could only barely see the black soil in the cracks.

"Please get off the bus in order!" Xu Can stood by the door and greeted the parents of the kids getting off the bus like a little teacher.

The staff had already helped move in the luggage they had brought with them, and the bus slowly left along the same road it had come from.

"Ahem." Xu Can cleared his throat, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

"I believe everyone has guessed that our happy three-day and three-night trip will end in this large courtyard in front of us."

The camera scanned the entire outside of the courtyard wall in a timely manner.

From the outside, it looks like a large courtyard similar to a siheyuan, with quite a few rooms. The walls are made of blue bricks, painted white, with some slogans about hard work leading to wealth written on them.

The gate is very large, with some icicles of varying lengths hanging on the eaves. The opening is just big enough for tricycles to pass through. It is an iron gate with railings, and a long lock with a chain is hung on the top of the door.

[Where did the program crew find these places and residences? It feels like I haven’t seen them in years.]

[Hahaha, we have it in the countryside here too]

[I lived in a house like this when I was a kid. I miss it a little bit. It should have been a huge yard with different bedrooms around it~~]

"Does everyone live here, Director?" Shen Qingyue asked.

"Of course, the entire yard here has been booked by our program team."

Xu Can patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that this yard is a bit old. We have equipped it with professional modern facilities. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

“Let’s go in and take a look!” Doudou, who was wrapped like a little snowball, raised his little hand first to answer, calling in a baby voice.

Xu Can smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, since our little friend Doudou answered first, let's let Doudou take the lead today and lead us into the house to see it, okay?"

The cub was stunned for a moment, then looked at his uncle a little embarrassedly, and then looked at everyone.

"Okay, Doudou takes the lead." Xiaoxun agreed, stood beside the little boy, and silently took his brother's hand.

“Yeah yeah!” With the encouragement from Xiao Susu’s eyes and brother Xiao Xun holding his hand, Dou Douzi confidently held his head high and walked into the door with his brother.

Just like what was said on the bullet screen, the courtyard was quite empty except for the corners and doorways where cameras were needed.

There were some farm tools piled up in the innermost corner, but they had not been used for a long time and looked covered in dust.

There is a long stone table in the middle of the yard, and there are many stone benches around it, all covered with a thick layer of snow.

In the center of the front is a large room with the door open. There is a dining table and various murals inside. It looks like a restaurant or living room.

"This place looks exactly like the place where I lived in my childhood," said Nuonuo's mother. Her grandparents have always lived in the north, so she is still very touched and looks around from time to time.

"Yes, I lived there when I was a kid." Ishimori nodded.

"What about you? Have you ever lived there?" Nuonuo's mother asked the remaining three parents curiously.

"Yes."

"no."

"no."

Only Gu Danzhi nodded, while Shen Qingyue and Sister Mai Mai both shook their heads.

"Huh? Have you ever lived in a yard like this?" The attention of the other parents was drawn to the interior of the house. Shen Qingyue curiously moved closer to look at it and asked in a low voice.

Their arms accidentally touched each other, Gu Danzhi's eyes moved slightly, and then he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingyue: "Yes, I lived with my grandpa and grandma for a few years when I was a child."

"That must be fun." Shen Qingyue raised the corner of his mouth.

He thought that Gu Xunzhi, as described in the book, was a president who was out of touch with the world and had lived a life of luxury since childhood. He never expected that he had grown up in the countryside.

"Not bad." Gu Xizhi replied.

Before Shen Qingyue could continue speaking, Gu Yinzhi waited for a moment and said, "If you are interested, we can go play together."

"Okay." Shen Qingyue was observing the carvings and window papers on the wooden doors of the rooms. Hearing this, he agreed without hesitation: "It should be similar to this place, right?"

"Well, it's still a little short." Gu Xizhi answered seriously.

"There is no special order or task for choosing rooms this time. All you have to do is choose the room number you like."

"However, I would like to remind you that the facilities and decorations in each room are different. It all depends on your luck. Does anyone want to be the first to choose a room? Raise your hand so I can see~"

Doudou was being held by his brother's hand, and the little boy was still looking around cautiously.

Every show takes them to a different place to play, and Dou Dou is always curious.

"Okay, since no one has raised their hand to be the first, then I'll be the one." Xu Can looked around in the direction of the five cubs.

Then he stopped in front of Doudou and smiled like a fox: "Come on, our lovely little Doudou, you get to choose where you and your uncle live."

[Hahahaha, how come our Doudou is the first one again]

[Okay, one little red hand, one little stinky hand, this is the third time, let’s see what Doudou will choose? ]

[It must be Little Red Hand, it must be Little Red Hand]

[Okay, okay, it’s the first one again, right? Go ahead! Blindly choose the best one! ]

[I feel like the houses here are all together, so even if they are bad, they can’t be that bad]

"Come on, Doudou." Shen Qingyue encouraged the kid softly from behind.

Doudou was shouldering the heavy responsibility. With a serious expression on her fair little face, she looked at each sign with the room number written on it. Then she raised her tightly wrapped short arms and chose a number that was the same as the number of their live broadcast room.

"I want one!"

"Number five! Okay, now the other children and parents can choose." Xu Can continued.

Miki reacted and raised his hand: "Uncle, I, I want to choose."

"Okay, then let Miki come." Xu Can agreed.

"Number one!" Miki made the choice without hesitation.

Dad always wants him to be first in everything. Although he is not the first one to choose the house, it is also good for them to choose room number one.

"Number One~ Continue next—"

The five little cubs each made their own choices. Number one was Miki, number two was Mai Mai and number three was Nuonuo, and number four and number five were Xiaoxun and Doudou respectively.

"Everyone has made their choices. You can go back to your rooms and rest. It is now 11:30 in the morning. Lunch will be provided by the program team--"

Xu Can dragged out his voice: "Of course, the program team has already put the food in the room in advance. Everyone, eat and drink enough and have a good rest. In the afternoon, we will start the first task of the day~"

"Secret."

Everyone has long been accustomed to the mysterious look of the program crew. I got up too early in the morning and haven't had lunch yet, so I feel hungry after hearing this.

"Okay, okay, then let's go into the house first." Nuonuo's mother spoke first, and after getting a nod from the director team, she took Nuonuo to say hello to everyone and went back to the room.

Shen Qingyue took the cub's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the room and take a look!"

"Let's take a look at the room!" Doudou nodded happily in response.

Xiaoxun was the third person to choose a room after Doudou and Miki, and he chose Room No. 4, which was next to Doudou.

Gu Xizhi pulled his nephew and Shen Qingyue together and said, "We are neighbors now."

"Hahaha, yeah." Shen Qingyue had observed after he had chosen. Room 4 and Room 5 were not only neighbors, but also separated by only a wall. If there was any movement on either side, they would probably be able to hear each other.

"Then is there anything we can do to help each other?" Gu Xizhi said again.

Shen Qingyue nodded: "Okay."

【Gu Xizhi: Is there anything we can do to help each other?

If you have any problem, ask Qingqing for help.

[These two are really inseparable. ]

[It feels like Gu Xianzhi and Xiaoxun came here on purpose to get close to Xiaoshen’s wife and Doudou!!]

[Well, if it were me, I would post it too. Who doesn’t like pretty beauties and cute kids?]

[Yes, we have a good relationship, so it’s okay if you want to get closer.]

[Besides, if there really is something, I would like it even more, hahahaha]

They quickly arrived in front of the room. Shen Qingyue was standing at the door, holding the jumping baby and opening it. Gu Qinzhi from the next room did the same.

They both opened the door at the same time, smiled at each other in tacit understanding, and walked in together with their child.

"Wow! It's so hot!"

As soon as I entered the room, a warm breeze blew towards me. It was not scorching, but dry and warm. It would be hot if I went in wearing a down jacket.

Shen Qingyue took off his and Doudou's coats, scarves, hats and other items and put them in the closet, then looked around the room.

Although the decoration in the room was simple, it had everything one could need. In the corner was a small wooden bed where they often slept during the show. The windows were tightly closed wooden windows, and like the door at the entrance, they were all made of carved wood and looked antique.

The closets and tables in the room are also made of wood. There is a small square table in the middle with a few bottles of water on it.

There were some pipes in the corner of the room. Shen Qingyue squatted beside them and took a look. It felt hot when he put his hand on them. He guessed it was the magic weapon for wintering in the north, the floor heating.

Shen Qingyue also took off Doudou's little shoes, and the cub was now running around on the ground wearing the clean slippers prepared by the program crew.

As if it had discovered a new continent, the cub squatted down like a little mushroom, touched the wooden floor with its tender little hands, and then looked at its uncle in surprise: "Xiao Susu, the ground is so hot!"

"Wow, then we won't be afraid of the cold." Shen Qingyue agreed with a surprised expression.

Doudou pursed his lips, looked excited, and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

In general, I am quite satisfied with this room. On the small cabinet in the corner is the food that the director team said they prepared for them. In fact, it is the self-heating rice that Gu Xianzhi and Xiao Xun ate when they lived in the thatched cottage in the previous episode.

The Mifan logo was still clearly visible. Shen Qingyue looked at it for a while and vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a small sponsor of the program team.

Gu Xianzhi: "How is the room?"

Shen Qingyue had just made milk for Doudou and was about to open the self-heating rice when he received a message from Gu Yinzhi.

Qingqing: "Not bad, how about you guys?"

Gu Xianzhi replied immediately: "Not bad."

Shen Qingyue removed the plastic film and threw it into the trash can, and then he saw Gu Xianzhi's message pop up.

"Want to eat together?"
