Chapter 90 Exclusive (90) Five more chapters. …

The third day of the baby show, which is also the last day of the fourth season, has arrived in a state of joy for some and sorrow for others.

The weather is gloomy today, with a few dark clouds floating in the sky, bringing gusts of cool breeze.

"Today is an outdoor activity. It looks like the weather is good."

Xu Can stood behind the camera, holding the brim of his sun hat. In front of him were parents and children standing in a semicircle, all fully armed.

"I see, today's activity is digging." Sister Mai Mai said silently.

"No, not really, but it's almost the same." Xu Can chuckled, "I believe everyone still remembers that our first and second day's tasks were all related to saplings, so now I will announce the acquisition of saplings in the past two days."

"Let me first talk about yesterday's mission. Gu Xianzhi and Xiao Xun got the most saplings, a total of five! Let's give them a round of applause!"

Shen Qingyue smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "Your watermelon steamed bun is really popular."

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Gu Xianzhi said slowly.

His original intention was actually to say that Xiaoxun was delicious and looked simple, but he didn't expect that everyone thought this thing must be very dark, but also very special, so every family and every guest had to order it.

"The second place went to our Doudou and Shen Qingyue, Cactus Fried Pork, and Miki and his father. The two groups tied for second place and both received four saplings."

"The third place goes to Mai Mai and Nuonuo, each of whom received three saplings." Xu Can stretched out his voice slightly: "Combining the results of the first day, the current overall ranking is..."

"Xiaoxun's team is first with ten trees, Doudou's team is second with eight trees, Miki is third with seven trees, Maimai is fourth with five trees, and Nuonuo has four trees."

[Oh no, I have a bad feeling]

[Everyone is holding a shovel and a spade. Today's task is not to plant all the saplings we got, right?]

[Ah, isn’t that unfair to the families who get high rankings? I’m so tired, it’s so hot.]

"I believe everyone has guessed what today's mission is!" Xu Can said passionately: "We will go to the tree planting base in the desert oasis, plant the saplings we obtained together, and leave everyone's name."

Gu Xizhi glanced at the shovel in his hand and asked, "Do we have to plant all of them?"

"No need!" Xu Can waved his hand and said, "Each family only needs to plant three trees. We will donate ten times the remaining saplings to the base."

"This is good." Shen Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

If he were really asked to plant eight trees with Doudou, An Yan and the other two, he would not be able to finish the task. He was worried that he would get sick in the middle of the process.

"Today's mission is about to begin. Everyone can get on the bus in an orderly manner." Xu Can commanded.

Buses can't drive in the desert, so they used the off-road vehicles they came in yesterday, one for each family.

When Shen Qingyue got into the car, he subconsciously looked in Gu Xizhi's direction. Coincidentally, Gu Xizhi was also looking at him. The two gave each other a reassuring look and got into the car together.

This time, the Desert Oasis Base is actually an environmental protection charity organization. The base is in a relatively remote location and looks a bit run-down.

Several brick houses are surrounded by a wall, a bit similar to the style of Tam's family house, and there are flowers and plants in the yard.

Outside there are several bungalows similar to warehouses with water trucks parked inside. On the hull of the water trucks are written large characters “Save Minqin”.

The group walked up and looked very majestic from a distance. After they entered the house, the director talked to the person in charge for a while.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man, who looked dark and thin, very much like a local, but spoke fluent Mandarin.

He introduced the terrain and environment here to the guests, as well as the importance of suitable trees for growth and wind and sand control, and everyone listened attentively.

[I learned it. I only read about it in textbooks before, but never understood it in such depth.]

[After listening to this, I feel so excited that I want to plant trees]

[It's really not easy to stay here for decades]

[It seems that even though the kids don’t understand, they have already grasped their shovels and are ready to start working hahahaha]

"I have just given you a brief introduction to the significance of planting trees and how to plant trees. Now let me show you how to do it in practice!" Although the person in charge looked quite old, he still spoke with full energy.

"Okay. Let's go!" Xiaoxun's mother waved the shovel in her hand.

"Are you feeling okay? I heard from your elder brother before that his heart is not very healthy. Planting trees will be quite tiring." An Yan asked Shen Qingyue while holding her pocket in one hand and a shovel in the other.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shen Qingyue shook off the sand that had gotten into his shoes and said, "I saw a doctor before, and I'm feeling much better now."

An Yan nodded: "That's good."

"The first thing to do when planting trees in the desert is to plant grass grids, usually 1×1 square grids, and each sapling must be spaced apart to effectively prevent wind and fix sand."

The person in charge demonstrated to them while saying: "The vitality of the Haloxylon ammodendron tree is very strong. As long as it is planted and watered, it will grow."

In about ten minutes, a tree was planted.

"Okay, everyone can try it out by themselves. If you have any questions, ask me." He put down the tools and walked aside.

Shen Qingyue and Gu Yinzhi chose a seat in front and behind. The layout here was just right for five groups of guests, one in each row. The program team had discussed this with the people at the base in advance.

The straw grid is made of wheat straw, stacked into small squares. From a distance, it has a very regular beauty.

It was not difficult to tie it up, so Shen Qingyue squatted down, and Doudou also bent down and picked up a small bundle of long wheat straw: "I'm planting trees!"

"Let's plant trees together." Shen Qingyue smiled at the cub and also picked up a small bundle: "And your mother."

"Yeah!" Doudou agreed, looked up at his mother, waved his hands and shouted, "Mom. Let's go together."

With the demonstration of the person in charge and the help from the side, the five families quickly drew out their first square, and then started planting trees with shovels.

[Qingqing is amazing! She is skinny and weak, but she is very skillful at work.]

[Is this the first day you knew about Qingqing? He is the kind of person who takes things very seriously.]

[It’s okay to take it easy. I haven’t looked for a while and he has already planted two trees.]

[Gu Xianzhi is indeed the silent and practical type, hahahahahaha]

Planting three trees was not difficult for each family. It took just over an hour for each family to complete the task.

We took a few photos together in front of the tree, left our names and handprints, and took the gifts prepared by the base. This morning's itinerary ended with the sound of the cool breeze blowing the branches.

After returning to the restaurant, everyone rested in the living room for a while. Shen Qingyue took Doudou to open the gifts they received at the base in the morning.

Inside was a towel, some stuffed toys of saxaul trees, and a transparent trophy engraved with the words "Environmental Defender".

"Wow!" The cub had never seen such a trophy before. He held it in his arms and looked at it left and right, unable to let it go. Shen Qingyue took out his mobile phone and took pictures and videos of the cub with its grinning little teeth.

"I believe everyone has gained a lot from this desert trip." Before lunch, Xu Can clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said affectionately: "Today is the last day. There are no activities scheduled in the afternoon. Everyone pack your luggage. We will leave here tomorrow morning."

"It feels quite easy this time." Mother Nuonuo stroked her chin and said seriously.

Xu Can chuckled: "Because the next one will be the last one. If I arrange such a heavy schedule for everyone, I will be criticized as inhumane."

【? This is a director team that reads reviews】

[So I scold them on Weibo every day for being inhumane, but can they see it?]

[This is my first time watching this kind of live show. Although it has some flaws, it is still good. I didn’t expect that I could follow so many episodes at once.]

[Will there be a second season? Will the second season still have the same cast? ]

"As usual, we keep the theme of the next episode a secret. We can't rush the finale of the first season of our variety show, but we certainly won't make everyone too tired!"

Xu Can finished speaking ambiguously, and with his hands behind his back, he said, "Everyone is free to move around in the afternoon, but you cannot leave the area around the restaurant. We will set out on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning."

"We'll go home tomorrow." Shen Qingyue rubbed Doudou's little head and held the cub on the seat.

Doudou shook his little head and looked around, feeling a little reluctant to leave. He made new friends here and played with his mother Xiaosusu. He was so happy.

"Is Doudou going to kindergarten? School has already started, right?" An Yan put a round meatball in the cub's bowl and asked Shen Qingyue in a low voice.

When this topic comes up, Shen Qingyue feels a little nervous. She clenched her chopsticks tightly and quietly removed the wheat stuck behind her waist. She said, "Hmm," "I'm old enough, but I haven't enrolled yet."

"Why?" An Yan was puzzled: "You didn't enroll him? Didn't you find a school?"

"My eldest brother wants to take Doudou abroad, and I want to keep Doudou by my side, so I discussed it with him and decided to consider this issue after the show is over." Shen Qingyue explained softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

He looked at Doudou. The kid was holding the bowl and drinking soup by himself, with most of his face buried in the bowl. He was drinking it with great relish.

An Yan stopped talking and was silent for a while. Suddenly, she said to Shen Qingyue without any context, "Can you add a contact number?"

"Oh, okay." Shen Qingyue took out his cell phone and added her on WeChat.

An Yan’s profile picture is a little bird standing on a tree branch and gazing into the distance. Her name is her real name. Her circle of friends is completely open and filled with photos she took while traveling around the world.

"Let's talk in the afternoon." She put the phone in her pocket and smiled at Shen Qingyue.

Her smile looked very sincere. Shen Qingyue agreed, lowered his eyes and drank a sip of water.

He didn't know what An Yan meant. Did she listen to him and wanted to take Doudou away like his elder brother? Or did she want to do something else? He couldn't guess.

After lunch, everyone helped to clean up the dishes and went upstairs to their rooms to rest.

"Xiao Susu, I want to take a nap with you." The cub rubbed against the bed stickyly and acted coquettishly with Shen Qingyue.

"Come on."

Shen Qingyue picked up Xiao Doudou, fell on the bed holding the cub, and made the cub giggle.

Doudou hadn't been able to sleep with Xiaosusu these few days, so he seemed particularly excited. He rolled around on the bed, and occasionally bumped into Xiaosusu's arms.

Shen Qingyue let him play as crazy as he wanted and sat on the side watching to prevent the kid from accidentally falling off the bed.

After playing for half a day, the cub lay on the bed and fell asleep hugging the pillow and quilt without any need to be coaxed.

Shen Qingyue covered him with the quilt, picked up his mobile phone and took a look. The page was empty and there were no unread messages.

After hesitating for a while, he simply went out and went to the window at the end of the corridor where there was no surveillance, and opened the dialogue box with An Yan.

Qingqing: "Are you asleep?"

The other party replied immediately: "No."

Shen Qingyue calmed down, thought about the words, and typed: "During lunch, do you want to say something to me?"

An Yan: “Yes.”

"I can help you."
