Chapter 9 Nine little kids, look! Little Red Flower Pocket! ...

The car drove for more than two hours. Shen Qingyue put away his phone and took a short nap.

The car shook a few times and he was shaken awake. Not long after, the baby in his arms also woke up, buried his face in his arms and rubbed it. Then he raised his little head, revealing two sleepy eyes to observe the surroundings.

Shen Qingyue lowered his eyes to look at him, and happened to meet the young man's eyes.

Doudou buried the lower half of his face in his arms. When he saw his uncle looking at him, he smiled at him with his eyes narrowed.

The scenery outside became more and more unfamiliar. The children invited to the show were not from the same place. The recording location was in a rural area in the neighboring city, and it took more than two hours to drive there.

"Dou Dou, get up and drink some water." Shen Qingyue patted the baby who was still nestled in her arms, and took out Dou Dou's small straw cup from the side.

The cub nodded obediently, and after being helped up by his uncle, he stood obediently for a while, holding his own small cup and drinking gulpingly.

【Finally woke up. I actually watched them sleep for two hours in the live studio. 】

[It is really boring to ride in a car. What else can I do if I don’t sleep? 】

[Look at the kids in the No. 1 and No. 2 live broadcast rooms, one is singing and the other is reciting ancient poems, their clips have become trending searches, and our Doudou will fall asleep]

[Stop! Don't bring your involutionary mentality to the cubs. They are just children! ]

[Yes, it helps me sleep well. I even took a half-hour nap while watching the live broadcast. It helped me sleep better.]

Shen Qingyue put away Doudou's small water cup. Xu Can turned his head and said with a smile, "Xiao Shen, Doudou, we have reached our destination and can get off now."

The car door was opened from the outside by a camera. The unfamiliar scenery around made Doudou a little nervous. After getting out of the car, both of her little hands tightly grasped Shen Qingyue's fingers.

The suitcase had been taken by the staff. Shen Qingyue stroked the cub's head wearing a sunflower hat as a comfort, and then looked at the director: "Where are we going now?"

"Now please ask parents to gather at the daily necessities collection area to collect supplies, and let the children gather at the house where the filming took place."

After the director finished speaking, he added: "We will have PDs and photographers following us throughout the process, so parents can rest assured that the babies are safe."

The expression on Doudou's little face turned a little frightened after hearing the director's first words. He was still holding Shen Qingyue's hand, and at this moment he silently took a few steps back.

After he retreated until Shen Qingyue's body completely covered him, he sneakily poked half of his head out from behind and took a look forward. When he saw that the black hole was still facing him, he quickly retracted his gaze.

[Hahahahahahaha, kid, have you ever heard of the idiom "the more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes"?]

[Dou Dou: As long as I hide behind my uncle, you won’t be able to see me]

[I have taken a screenshot, with the caption: 兜兜祟祟.jpg]

Shen Qingyue's arms were pulled behind him, and he naturally noticed Doudou's little movements.

He turned around, bent down, and held Zizi's hands with both hands: "Uncle is going to get something for the two of us, can Doudou go alone?"

Doudou wrinkled her face in grievance and said in a soft and coquettish voice: "No."

"Doudou, don't you want to play in the TV? This is our first mission in the TV. Go to the house and meet other children first. Be good friends with the older brothers and sisters, and Doudou's mission will be completed."

Shen Qingyue took out a sticker covered with little red flowers from his pocket and showed it to the cub: "This is the reward for completing the task, baby. You can choose a little red flower to stick on your face."

He bought these in the children's clothing store when he took Doudou to the mall. At that time, he just acted out of the instinct of a kindergarten teacher to coax a child. He thought that they would definitely be useful, so he bought a bunch of them. In addition to the little red flowers, there were also ones of different colors and various small animals.

The kid's attention was drawn to the sticker. He hesitated and stretched out his hand to touch it gently. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said firmly in his baby voice, "Xiao Susu, come find Doudou."

Shen Qingyue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come find Doudou as soon as I get my things."

Dou Dou turned his head reluctantly and watched Shen Qingyue moving further and further away from him. He pursed his lips and quickly clenched his fists.

He is a brave baby and not afraid at all.

The PD who was filming the scene was replaced by a young lady with an unfamiliar face. She squatted behind the camera and smiled softly, "The little red-roofed house in front is where Doudou is going. Uncle will be there too soon."

Doudou nodded shyly and said softly, "Thank you, sister."

He walked forward with a clattering sound of steps. This was a remote countryside, and the road was all land. The small red-roofed house that the young lady had just mentioned didn't seem far away, but it was very tiring to walk there.

The cub couldn't walk any further halfway, so he bent his waist, put his hands on his knees, and panted softly.

The sunflower straw hat on his head swayed slightly with his movements, and his fair face was already somewhat blushed. It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. The two strands of soft black hair on his cheeks were already covered with beads of sweat.

After resting for a while, the cub straightened up, looked at the red house in the distance, and wanted to continue walking forward with its short legs, but was attracted by the sudden sound of footsteps from behind.

Turning around to look, he saw a big brother, who was a little taller than him, wearing a cool black short-sleeved shirt and white shorts, carrying a small panda backpack on his back and walking forward.

Behind him there is an uncle and sister holding a TV camera. They must be here to play in the TV like Jiji.

Thinking of what his uncle had just said about meeting other kids and making friends, Doudou stopped, turned around, looked at his brother who was walking towards him politely, and took the initiative to smile and say hello: "Hello, brother."

Gu Xiaoxun, who was getting irritated because he had to walk alone after getting off the bus, stopped walking quickly. He stood in front of Doudou and asked in a puzzled tone, "Who are you?"

Doudou smiled at him in a friendly manner, with eyes crooked: "I'm Sidoudou."

This child is a little strange, but very pretty, with fair skin and big eyes. He is prettier than any other child I have seen before.

Gu Xiaoxun thought about it secretly in his heart, but still said bluntly: "But I don't know you."

“Oh.” Doudou said, and then said sincerely, “I don’t recognize you either.”

"It's 'recognize', not 'recognize four'." Gu Xiaoxun couldn't help but correct him.

Doudou nodded, not quite understanding: "Recognize the four."

[There's nothing wrong with recognizing four things~]

[Laughing and making money, did I just see Gu Xiaoxun sighing, hahahaha]

[Xiao Xun, this is your fault. Don't be so harsh on a three-year-old cub~]

[That’s great, my two favorite kids are in the same frame, I finally don’t have to use my phone and computer to watch the live broadcast. 】

Gu Xiaoxun wanted to walk away, but when he looked at Doudou, he couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you say hello to me?"

Doudou glanced at the camera behind Gu Xiaoxun again, and after confirming that it was the same as the one in the hands of his uncle, he said seriously, "Because my brother is also playing in the video game, we have to be good friends."

Gu Xiaoxun was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose somewhat unnaturally: "Oh."

He thought about it for a while, and seemed to want to express his friendliness to the kid, so he took the initiative to say, "Then let's go together."

“Okay.” Doudou stepped forward and stretched out his short hand: “Hand in hand.”

Gu Xiaoxun looked at Doudou's chubby little hand, hesitated for two seconds, and finally took the initiative to pull his hand up.

The two little figures walked away together. The shorter one, who was wearing flowery clothes, said happily, "Brother, your hands are as small as mine."

The cool guy in a black short-sleeved shirt didn't understand why he was so happy, but he still retorted: "I'm your brother, my hands are bigger than yours."

“Oh.” Doudou nodded, but added proudly: “Wo Xiaosusu’s hands are bigger than her brother’s.”

Gu Xiaoxun pursed his lips. He originally wanted to say that his uncle's hands were bigger, but he thought that was too childish, so he kept silent and walked forward with his head down, pulling the kid beside him.

[I thought Doudou would be a bit socially anxious, but I didn't expect him to be so talkative.]

【Gu Xiaoxun: I can’t even refute it.jpg】

"But Xiao Susu is not as short as her brother." Seeing that her brother was silent, Dou Dou said something to comfort him considerately.

He already regarded this brother as his good friend. This was Dou Dou's first good friend who was about the same age as him.

He is so happy! He likes it so much!

Gu Xiaoxun turned his head to glance at the cub beside him. His face was white and tender under the little sunflower straw hat. His bright eyes looked at him with a smile, and his little mouth was also rosy, looking so beautiful.

As the older brother, Gu Xiaoxun decided not to argue with his younger brother.

【Hahahahahahahahahaha】

[Good job Doudou, come on, give me more. I like to see Xiaoxun speechless hahahahahahahaha]

[Our Doudou obviously has good intentions! What does Xiaoxun mean by this expression? Huh, hhh]

The two of them walked together, Gu Xiaoxun walked faster and Dou Dou followed him, and they soon arrived at the door of the red house.

When we got there, we realized how tall the house was. Doudou tilted his head back to look up, but after reaching the second floor, he could only see the brim of his little straw hat.

But he felt that this house was taller than his home and he couldn't see the end of it.

Gu Xiaoxun didn't observe as much as he thought. He walked directly to the door and knocked: "Is anyone there?"

No one in the room responded, and Doudou asked in a baby voice, "Hello, is there any silver?"

"Doudou and Xiaoxun are the first to arrive, so they can go in directly."

Seeing that the two kids seemed to be waiting at the door for someone to open it, the PD who was filming them gave them a friendly reminder from behind.

After turning around, he blinked and said, "Thank you, sister."

The door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap for the cubs. Gu Xiaoxun pushed it open with force. He turned around and looked at Doudou, who was looking at him with admiration and surprise with his mouth slightly open. He said coolly, "Hand."

Doudou looked at him blankly with his big eyes, so Gu Xiaoxun simply reached out and grabbed Doudou's little paw.

“Brother, this is called holding hands.” Doudou corrected him.

Gu Xiaoxun still maintained his cool persona and said in a very cool tone, "Oh."

The interior decoration is very interesting, probably according to the standards of kindergarten. There are many cartoon stickers on the snow-white walls, including big tigers, lion kings, little white rabbits, little foxes, and many other cute little animals.

The walls and windows are covered with beautiful little colored paper and flags strung together, and even the sofas and benches are colorful.

Doudou was dazzled by what he saw, but he no longer felt tired. He ran back and forth on his short legs, looking and exclaiming "Wow" as he did so.

Gu Xiaoxun sat very calmly on the small green bench, his eyes following Doudou's running around.

[I just like the look of this little kid who has never seen the world]

[Is Doudou not in kindergarten yet? No wonder these things seem so new to him.]

[A three-year-old kid will probably start school in September, right? ]

[Why does Xiaoxun always have that unusually calm expression wherever he goes? Son, wake up! ]

I walked around for a while until my legs were too tired to walk anymore. Then I struggled to walk to Gu Xiaoxun and sat down on the small yellow stool next to him.

He took out the little handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat off his little face. The door creaked open and a little boy dressed very formally walked in.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black overalls, a small black bow on the collar, and a pair of blue-rimmed glasses.

"Hello, my name is Miki." Miki walked to the bench and greeted the two of them. This was what his father had taught him. He must be polite in order to be liked by the audience in front of the TV.

If the audience likes me, my father will praise me.

"Hello." Gu Xiaoxun was polite but cold.

Another brother! Doudou will have a second good friend.

Doudou opened his little mouth and said, "Hello, Mimi. I'm Sidoudou."

【miki x, mimi?】

[Doudou, are you teasing the cat? Mimi hahahahahahaha]

[From the name and the way he dresses, you can tell that he is a very smart baby. ]

[He is indeed very smart. He was the one who was trending on the Internet today, saying that he could recite many ancient poems at the age of three, and he is said to have already learned elementary school mathematics! ]

[Are kids so introverted now? ? ]

Miki did not correct Doudou's pronunciation, but sat down next to him, with his back straight and his hands on his knees, looking like a good boy.

The next ones to come in were Nuonuo and Mai Mai, two little girls of the same age. Like Doudou and Xiaoxun, they also came hand in hand.

Nuonuo looks very sweet, wearing a pink veil, white round-toed leather shoes, and a big pink bow in her hair. She is holding Mai Mai, who is wearing a gray-green new Chinese-style dress.

Mai Mai looked a little shy, but still mustered up the courage to greet the other children.

Nuonuo was carrying a beautiful little bunny bag on her back. She enthusiastically took out a big handful of candies from it and distributed them to the children one by one.

Doudou felt very embarrassed because he didn't bring any delicious food for his brothers and sisters, but he still ate his sister's candy.

The cubs have been gathered for a while. Doudou sits on his little stool, his chin supported by his hands, a candy in his mouth, and stares at the door with eager eyes.

After a while, he finally stood up and trotted to the front of the camera crew. When he saw Xu Can, he raised his hand and waved happily, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Susu didn't find Doudou?"

Xu Can rubbed the cub's soft head and said softly, "Uncle will be here soon, Doudou, wait a little longer, be good."

"Okay, wait a little longer." Doudou agreed obediently.

*

Shen Qingyue, who was eagerly awaited by the cubs, had already filled out the information for collecting supplies and signed it.

In fact, it was just some toiletries, towels, slippers, bed sheets, quilt covers, a few sets of clothes, two basins and a bucket. These things were not heavy when taken individually, but they were quite heavy when put together.

The program team required that all parents should pick up their babies before going together to meet their children. Shen Qing put the large basin of things on the ground with great difficulty and sat down on a chair nearby to rest. Soon, the second parent came.

The person who came was a man who looked about the same age as himself, tall and straight, wearing a well-cut shirt and trousers.

He was very tall, and he had to bend slightly when he walked into the small thatched house rented by the program crew. His bony knuckles gently pushed open the thin fabric of the curtain, revealing a delicate and handsome profile.

Shen Qingyue was attracted by the visitor, and coincidentally the man also noticed him when he entered the room.

The two lines of sight collided in the air. Before Shen Qingyue could react, the man had already walked into the room and took the initiative to greet him. His gentle voice was polite and distant: "Hello, I am Gu Xianzhi, Gu Xiaoxun's uncle."

As he spoke, he extended his hand, and Shen Qingyue also stood up and shook hands with him: "Shen Qingyue, Doudou's uncle."

The staff member who was responsible for taking them to collect the supplies came forward and motioned for Gu Shenzhi to sign and get the things. He nodded politely to Shen Qingyue, turned around and went to the inner room with the staff.

Then, Miki's father, Nuonuo's mother and Mai Mai's sister came to the little thatched house one after another.

Everyone greeted and chatted in a friendly manner. Miki's father was thin and looked a little serious.

After receiving his things, he has been looking at his phone seriously. On the screen is the live broadcast of the five kids in the room.

After the last parent came out, the director led them towards the villa.

The sun was shining brightly, and Shen Qingyue was out of breath after carrying the things for a while. But there were many people here, and it was being broadcast live, so he could only bear it.

[I feel sorry for my little Shen Nao Po. Her lips have become even paler. I feel like she will faint in my arms in the next second...]

[These things are quite common, why do parents have to come to pick them up? Isn't this deliberately annoying?]

[Well, I guess the director team just wanted to find a reason to let the kids stay alone for a while, but at least they gave them a stroller or something. . ]

[My dear, this is so unfortunate. I’m going to go to Weibo and scold the production team]

"Do you need help?" Gu Xizhi was originally walking at the back, but now he slightly quickened his pace, walked to Shen Qingyue's side, and asked him in a low voice.

The variety show hasn't officially started yet, and they are not wearing any radio equipment, so the audience can only see Gu Xianzhi walk up to Shen Qingyue and whisper something, but they can't hear the specific content.

【What did you say? Let me hear it too.】

[It's really pleasing to see these two people walking together~~~]

【Is there anything that I, a distinguished gold-gold annual fee VIP, cannot hear? 】

Shen Qingyue was a little embarrassed at first, but he couldn't stand the dizziness from being exposed to the sun and the pain in his arms. He nodded and said with gratitude, "Can you help me get the bucket?"

Compared to feeling embarrassed about asking a stranger for help, it would be more embarrassing to collapse in the middle of the road.

"Okay." Gu Xunzhi agreed promptly. He reached out and took the bucket from Shen Qingyue's hand. The moment he handed it over, his eyes were attracted for a second by the deep red mark left on his palm.

In fact, there were only a few towels and bed sheets in the bucket, but Shen Qingyue's skin was too pale, so the mark looked a little shocking.

[Mr. Gu, you know how to be sympathetic to women. ]

[I guessed what they were talking about just now]

[Not only you guessed it, but the whole nation guessed it...]

[I'm sorry, but these two look surprisingly good together]

The thatched cottage was only 500 meters away from the villa. With Gu Xunzhi's help, Shen Qingyue felt a lot more relaxed. But when he arrived at the door of the villa, he still took several deep breaths before slowly calming down.

Inside the villa, the kids were too bored waiting. Nuonuo and Mai Mai were sitting on the carpet playing house together, while Miki had already taken out Three Hundred Tang Poems from his backpack and was reading them.

Doudou and Xiaoxun, one was curled up in a small ball on the sofa and sleeping soundly, while the other cub was sleeping on his back opposite him. The director and his team carefully covered both of them with small blankets.

This is the scene that the parents saw when they walked in together.

Miki happily put down the book in his hand and ran to his father. Ishimori also patted his head with satisfaction and praised him in a low voice: "You did a good job today."

Nuonuo and Maimai threw themselves into the arms of their parents respectively, chattering with them about what had just happened. After a while, they couldn't stop laughing.

Shen Qingyue walked to Doudou, poked his little face, and pinched his little mouth. Doudou shook his head uncomfortably, opened his eyes dazedly, and saw his uncle smiling at him.

He woke up immediately from his sleepiness and stretched out his little hands for a hug before even sitting up from the sofa.

Shen Qingyue squatted down and held the baby in his arms, rubbing his little head, making his hair, which was already messy from sleeping, even wilder.

"Xiao Susu, you are finally here."

Doudou was put down from the sofa, leaning against Shen Qingyue's legs and whispering to him: "I have a good friend today."

"Really?" Shen Qingyue made a surprised expression and asked in a supportive manner, "Who is it? Can Doudou tell little uncle quietly?"

Doudou pursed her lips and shyly leaned close to his ear, and her low, baby voice was filled with uncontrollable joy: "Brother Xiaoxun, Brother Mimi, Sister Ruoruo, Sister Maimai."

Shen Qingyue suddenly realized, and lowered his voice in an exaggerated tone: "It turns out that everyone is Doudou's good friend, and everyone likes to be friends with Doudou, so amazing."

Doudou's face turned red, but his eyes were smiling and he nodded his head to show his agreement.

Gu Xiaoxun, who was standing next to him, was woken up when the parents came in. He was in a bad mood and was sitting on the sofa with a stern face, not moving at all, his little mouth tightly pursed, looking very unhappy.

Gu Xizhi sat beside him very calmly.

"Little Susu, little red-haired girl, mine." Doudou patted Shen Qingyue's wrist gently, his big eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Shen Qingyue just remembered this. He took out stickers from his pocket, tore off the best-looking one and stuck it on Doudou's forehead. Then he took out his cell phone, turned on the camera and showed him a mirror: "Look, little red flower Doudou!"

Doudou admired the little red flower with great satisfaction, and then whispered to Shen Qingyue: "Xiao Susu, Xiaoxun brother also wants a fortune."

"Why?" Shen Qingyue teased him.

Doudou said seriously, "Brother Xiaoxun came to find Xiaosusu hand in hand."

Shen Qingyue nodded, and said in a gentle tone: "Then you pick one and put it on your brother?"

Dou Dou carefully selected for a while, and finally picked the one he thought was the biggest and most beautiful. He gently tore it off, raised his short arms, and walked in front of Gu Xiaoxun.

The cub with a little red flower on his forehead looked very proud. He happily waved the sticker in his hand at Gu Xiaoxun, who was still angry, and said softly, "Brother, you got some too."
