Probably because of the news that Zhou Yexuan was going to live in China permanently, Shen Qingqing didn't sleep well the whole night.
She had many dream scenes. In the dreams, the originally handsome and cold man would always turn into a lustful demon and pounce on her. Although it was not to the extent that she woke up several times, it was still a great test of her mentality.
So Shen Qingqing was in a daze all night. When she woke up again, she was pushed awake by Zhou Jiayan who was sleeping next to her. The little guy's hair was messy, and there were even two hairs standing up. "Wake up, it's half past seven now. We're going to be late."
"It's only half past seven, so early." Shen Qingqing was still in a daze. She wanted to sleep a little longer, but her reason soon reminded her that they were still recording the show and today was the last day.
So, at Zhou Jiayan's urging, Shen Qingqing finally got out of bed, went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. She found that there was a dark spot under her eyes.
Shen Qingqing, who has always loved beauty, was a little overwhelmed. She was so perfect, but now she had imperfections!
And the culprit was Zhou Yexuan! It was all his fault for coming to inform her last night that he was going to live back home, and saying some bullshit about getting along well with her, which caused her to have nightmares all night.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Qingqing's mind. She must find an opportunity to take revenge!
Shen Qingqing naturally couldn't accept herself appearing in front of the camera with dark circles under her eyes, so today she, who always wore light makeup, took out her foundation and concealer and started to cover her blemishes.
However, this made little Zhou Jiayan, who was waiting to go out, very anxious.
He looked at his watch while urging Shen Qingqing. When he saw Shen Qingqing still slowly brushing her eyes, he said anxiously, "You'll be late in ten minutes."
Shen Qingqing turned around and looked at the anxious child, and said calmly, "Okay, okay, don't rush me, I won't be late. And as a gentleman, how can you be so impatient waiting for a woman?"
Zhou Jiayan groaned, "This has nothing to do with being a gentleman. We have to be on time."
After being lectured by the child, Shen Qingqing resigned herself to her fate and quickened her pace, completing her makeup for the day in five minutes.
In fact, she had calculated the time well, and would definitely not be late, she just arrived on time. But the kid was so anxious, so she just satisfied him.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her makeup was not perfect. If she was given more time, she could cover it up better. But when she thought about how anxious the child was, Shen Qingqing thought she would just leave it as it is. After all, she was a mother.
Today, Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan were still wearing mother-son outfits, a yellow sportswear with various small mushroom patterns printed on it, which was very cute.
The two of them walked into the living room together and saw that everyone else had already arrived and the meal was basically over.
Even Xie Bing and his mother, who were always the last to arrive in the morning in the past two days, had already eaten most of their breakfast, and the fat boy even burped very loudly.
When Xie Bing saw them coming in, he joked, "Hahaha, we're finally not the last ones to arrive today. I thought Junjun and I were the only ones who would stay in bed, but I didn't expect you would too."
As Xie Bing spoke, he looked at the two of them with eyes as if he had met his family.
Shen Qingqing didn't care when she heard what Xie Bing said. After all, she liked to stay in bed. The reason she was able to get up early in the past two days was because she slept well.
But Zhou Jiayan, who has always been self-disciplined, couldn't stand this evaluation, and looked at Shen Qingqing with some resentment in his eyes.
Yesterday he was a smart and steady wise guy, but today he turned into a lazy brat who was almost late for class.
Shen Qingqing also felt Zhou Jiayan's gaze. She felt very innocent about it. She could only blame her old father for scaring her with the phone call last night.
If little Zhou Jiayan wanted to take revenge, Shen Qingqing felt that she didn't mind doing it for him.
Of course Shen Qingqing felt that she still needed to explain. After all, she did not stay in bed on purpose this time. "Sister Xie Bing, I didn't sleep well last night. It was all because Yanyan's father called us so late at night." She had nightmares all night. Of course, Shen Qingqing did not say the second half of the sentence.
However, as soon as Shen Qingqing said this, the people around her looked at her with very strange eyes.
Shen Qingqing was a little confused. Was there anything wrong with what she said?
Finally, it was Xie Bing who continued to speak, "Hahaha, sister knows that you and Yanyan's father have been married for less than two years. It's normal for a young couple. We can understand."
After saying this, Xie Bing smiled even more ambiguously.
Shen Qingqing's pupils shrank, it seemed like they had misunderstood!
The audience in the live broadcast room started to laugh.
[Damn, I didn't expect to eat dog food so early in the morning. ]
[If I remember correctly, Mr. Zhou should have left the day before yesterday. Why did you start calling me the same day? ]
[I remember last night that after Mr. Zhou called Yanyan, Shen Qingqing turned off the live camera and said it involved privacy. I was wondering what secrets Mr. Zhou could tell a child, but it turns out he was waiting here.]
[So Yanyan is just a cover? Mr. Zhou's real intention is to call his wife. ]
【I just said that the CP I am obsessed with is real! 】
Shen Qingqing wanted to say something, but she felt that if she continued to explain, it would be a bit unreasonable.
So she thought about it and finally decided to shut up and eat.
Fortunately, there was not much time left before the mission started. Zhou Jiayan felt that the mission was the most important thing. He left Shen Qingqing, who was still lazy, and ran to the table where breakfast was served to get himself some food, then quickly ate it.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing sighed in her heart, it is really hard to control children when they grow up.
Then Shen Qingqing walked forward, served herself a bowl of porridge, took two eggs and a plate of side dishes, and began to eat slowly.
Her eating posture was very elegant, but her eating speed was not slow, so when Director Xu Xiang came into the room and announced that breakfast was over and today's task began, Shen Qingqing just put down her chopsticks and took a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Then she smiled at Zhou Jiayan, who had finished eating and had been waiting for several minutes, and said proudly, "I told you not to worry, but you still didn't believe me. Look, I wasn't late. I guess I'm a master of predictions."
Zhou Jiayan clenched her hands into fists, turned her head, and said nothing. It was obviously because of him that she was urged to avoid being late!
Still in the courtyard of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Xu Xiang held his megaphone and announced, "The first episode of the program has entered the final recording stage. Today is also our last mission. I hope everyone can continue to maintain their form and go all out."
"I believe that everyone has seen the culture and customs of Zhuangyuan Town in the past few days, but this is also an important grain production base and livestock base, so today we will go outside the city and witness the food from the ground to the table with our own hands."
Everyone was not surprised to hear Xu Xiang's words. In the last season's show, the production team also took the guests to the mountains and the sea, but today they were just going to the land.
However, Xu Xiang's next words left everyone dumbfounded.
"I believe the young guests are already used to getting along with their mothers, and they have a tacit understanding with their mothers, so today, we have another rule that we take turns taking care of the children."
[The production crew is making trouble again. I knew today wouldn’t be that simple.]
[I think some of the children may not be able to go to the fields even with their mothers present, and the production team even exchanged mothers. ]
[Xu Xiang's desire to stir up trouble is about to overflow. You can see that he just wants to see children crying and mothers in a panic.]
[I think the production team still wants the children to experience the education of different mothers and let the mothers feel the children of others. Everyone thinks too badly of the production team.]
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened. The children's faces were full of displeasure. Ao Liangjun, who was always the most naughty, hugged Xie Bing's thigh and shouted, "Mom, I don't want to leave you."
Song Yiyi burst into tears immediately, and the expressions on the other children's faces were not good either.
Shen Qingqing lowered her head and looked at Zhou Jiayan, only to find that Zhou Jiayan's little face was very calm, as if there was no sadness at all about the impending separation from her.
The words that Shen Qingqing wanted to say to comfort the child were suddenly stuck in her throat. This little brat was going too far. Didn't he really want to be with her?
She felt a little sad in her heart. Her evil "sincerity" had been misused these days!
Zhou Jiayan didn't know that his stepmother had such complicated thoughts. As a mature little adult, he was not afraid of being separated from his mother. When he saw the children around him who were about to cry, he felt speechless. It was just a matter of being separated for most of the day. He could get back together after completing the task.
However, when he saw other children's mothers squatting down and starting to comfort their children, he felt a little envious.
So will his stepmother come to comfort him?
He quietly turned his head and looked up at Shen Qingqing, but saw Shen Qingqing with a wooden face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
As expected, she didn't care about him and was not afraid of being separated from him at all. And seeing how affectionate she was towards Shi Shuang yesterday, it was possible that she wanted to have a sweet and soft little girl in her heart.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiayan felt a little angry.
Of course, whether the guests are willing or not, the task still has to go on.
Then the mothers and children drew lots to decide today's pairings. The final results were Shen Qingqing and Liang Tianyi, Shen Linyan and Ao Liangjun, Xie Bing and Ying Shishuang, Mo Man and Song Yiyi, and Cui Xia and Zhou Jiayan.
Some people are happy and some are sad about this group list.
The happiest person was Xie Bing. She immediately hugged Ying Shishuang and refused to let go. "God knows, when I was pregnant, I was hoping to have a sweet and soft little princess, but I ended up giving birth to a naughty boy like Ao Liangjun."
Seeing his mother, who had just been comforting him, now smiling happily, the little fat boy couldn't hold back any longer, "Mom, you are bullying me. Am I still your lovely baby?"
However, Xie Bing hugged Ying Shishuang, who was wearing a princess dress, and said with a smile, "I am glad that I have a little princess now."
Hearing the conversation between Xie Bing and her son, everyone smiled knowingly.
Shen Linyan was also smiling, but she was complaining in her heart as to why she was assigned to Ao Liangjun, the most mischievous kid.
She has always been very clear that she is not really patient. She would feel annoyed from time to time when facing the obedient Liang Tianyi, let alone facing the naughty Ao Liangjun.
And the most important thing is that Liang Tianyi and Shen Qingqing were actually drawn together. She couldn't help but think of what happened in the Italian restaurant before. Shen Qingqing shook Liang Tianyi's heart with just a few words. Would she do something to brainwash Liang Tianyi again?
However, the draw results had already come out, and she had no choice but to accept it and hide her impatience.
She has always been very adaptable, and she quickly walked to Ao Liangjun and said with a smile, "Xiaojun, it's okay, stay with your aunt today, and your aunt will protect you."
However, Ao Liangjun was still immersed in the sorrow that his mother didn't want him. He couldn't listen to Shen Linyan's words and continued to break down and cry.
Shen Linyan felt very annoyed looking at this little fat boy, but she was determined not to show it in front of the camera, and this was the son of movie queen Xie Bing.
Liang Tianyi felt a little disappointed when he saw his mother busy coaxing Ao Liangjun, but he was sensible after all and knew that now was not the time to bother his mother, so he took the initiative to pull Shen Linyan's clothes and said, "Mom, I'll go to Aunt Qingqing first."
However, Shen Linyan became even more annoyed when she heard Liang Tianyi's words. It turned out that he was impossible to tame her. He actually took the initiative to go to Shen Qingqing.
But the little fat boy was so noisy that she didn’t have time to think about Liang Tianyi’s affairs, so she just nodded and said, “Okay, then you go over, remember to be obedient, I’ll take care of my brother first.”
Liang Tianyi felt a little disappointed when he saw his mother's cold tone. He sighed and walked towards Shen Qingqing.
[Am I the only one who thinks Shen Linyan is too cold? Xiaoyi obviously wants his mother's comfort.]
[I feel like Xiaoyi is a little disappointed. ]
[Children who are too sensible always make people feel distressed. ]
[It's normal for Shen Linyan to be a little careless, after all, there's a fat kid crying next to her.]
Seeing that some viewers were dissatisfied with Shen Linyan's behavior, the internet trolls defended her while also starting to shift the blame to others.
[Is this what Shen Linyan calls indifference? Didn't you guys look at Shen Qingqing? ]
[Those who say Shen Linyan is cold can go and look at Shen Qingqing. She and Zhou Jiayan don't talk to each other.]
Driven by the barrage of comments, more people began to switch to Shen Qingqing's live broadcast room.
So they saw the mother and son ignoring each other. They both looked at the people around them in silence until Liang Tianyi's arrival broke the silence between them.
Shen Qingqing doesn't like Shen Linyan, but she has a good impression of Liang Tianyi. He is sensible and obedient, and can say nice things to please adults. Unlike Zhou Jiayan, it is basically impossible for him to praise her.
And it's quite miserable for him to have a stepmother like Shen Linyan who is so strict to the point of being frightening.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing smiled at Liang Tianyi, "Xiaoyi, please give me more advice today."
Liang Tianyi had a very good impression of Shen Qingqing. Although she seemed unreliable sometimes, she was willing to play with the children, which was unimaginable with his mother.
Sometimes he envied Zhou Jiayan for having a mother who would play with him. Although his friend always disliked Shen Qingqing, he could see that he was obviously very happy in his heart.
Of course, Liang Tianyi's favorite in his heart is Shen Linyan, even more than his biological mother. She is the one who has always been with him. Although she is a little strict and sometimes he can't stand it, he knows how much Shen Linyan has given for him in the past few years.
Facing Shen Qingqing's smile, Liang Tianyi also smiled back, "Auntie, I will be obedient today, and we will definitely complete the task."
Zhou Jiayan, who was standing aside, felt a little jealous when watching this scene. When he knew that Shen Qingqing and Liang Tianyi were in the same group, his first reaction was that his good brother Liang Tianyi would not be bullied by his stepmother, right?
The stepmother loves to bully children, so she will definitely bully Xiaoyi! Xiaoyi is so well behaved, it's not like he would know how to resist his stepmother.
However, now seeing the two of them getting along harmoniously and the stepmother not bullying Liang Tianyi at all, Zhou Jiayan felt a little jealous again.
This stepmother only knows how to bully him, but is nice to other children. Before it was Ying Shishuang, and now it’s Liang Tianyi. He will never like her again!
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiayan said to Shen Qingqing very coldly, "Then I'll go to Aunt Cui Xia first. See you in the evening."
Shen Qingqing felt as if her heart was stabbed by the "cold-blooded" Zhou Jiayan again. This poor kid was actually going to leave!
Shen Qingqing was not someone who would say soft words, and there was a handsome boy like Liang Tianyi beside her, so she smiled and touched Liang Tianyi's head, then waved to Zhou Jiayan and said, "Okay, then, go."
Zhou Jiayan became even more anxious when he saw this, and added, "If I really leave, Aunt Cui Xia will be anxious soon. Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate well with Aunt Cui Xia, and Aunt Cui Xia is also very reliable. We will definitely complete the task."
Shen Qingqing understood now that this brat was deliberately trying to piss her off, and even used Cui Xia to step on her. She immediately said angrily, "Then go quickly, or you'll blame me for delaying your mission later."
When Zhou Jiayan heard Shen Qingqing's words, he could no longer hold back and turned around and ran towards Cui Xia.
After seeing this scene, the netizens in the live broadcast room were speechless.
[Those who said that the relationship between Shen Qingqing and her son was cold, get out of here! How could it be cold? They were clearly just threatening each other! ]
[I don’t think it’s true that they have a bad relationship, but it’s also not true that they have a good relationship. I don’t know how to describe this feeling.]
[Upstairs, I see, they are quarreling like two elementary school kids.]
[If you say Yanyan is a primary school kid, I will think that you are praising Yanyan for being mature. Shen Qingqing is really hahahahaha. ]
Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan's back as he left, gritting her teeth. Humph, he actually ran away!
Anyway, she has another handsome boy with her today, so she doesn't want to pay attention to him.
As for Mo Man, she was an adopted daughter, and Song Yiyi was even more well-behaved and sensible than Ying Shishuang, so she could naturally handle it without any pressure.
Cui Xia was also very happy to see Zhou Jiayan, such an obedient and smart little handsome boy. She held Zhou Jiayan's hand and exclaimed a few words, saying that he was so well-behaved and smart.
After the mothers and children successfully regrouped, director Xu Xiang began to assign task lists to each group.
Shen Qingqing and Liang Tianyi were drawn to pick vegetables, Cui Xia and Zhou Jiayan went fishing, Xie Bing and Ying Shishuang went to the chicken farm to catch chickens, Shen Linyan took Ao Liangjun to the dairy farm to milk the cows, and Mo Man and Song Yiyi went to the grain factory to get the freshest flour.
Seeing that everyone understood today's task, Xu Xiang officially announced, "The competition has begun, everyone can set off. I hope all the children can have a good time with the new mothers!"
After the order was given, the mothers each took their "new children" out of the gate of Zhuangyuan Mansion and ran towards their respective destinations.
The vegetable base and the fishery are in two different directions, so Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan had to go in different directions after going out.
When the two were about to part ways, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but look behind her. She wondered if this brat would really leave so mercilessly.
Zhou Jiayan also turned around at this time and saw his stepmother looking at him. His heart skipped a beat, as if the string that had been taut before had broken.
It turns out that my stepmother still cares about me, she is tough on the outside but soft on the inside!
Forget it, he is a little man and won’t bother with his stepmother. It’s not shameful for him to lower his head.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and then he whispered to Cui Xia beside him, "Aunt Cui, can you wait for me for a few minutes?"
Cui Xia naturally would not refuse the child's request and agreed readily.
So Zhou Jiayan let go of Cui Xia's hand, turned around, and ran towards Shen Qingqing behind him with his short legs.
When Shen Qingqing saw Zhou Jiayan running towards her, she was also moved.
This brat still remembers her and is not completely heartless.
She stretched out her hand, took two steps forward, and then hugged the child who was rushing towards her like a little cannonball.
Hugging Zhou Jiayan and patting his little head, Shen Qingqing teased, "Humph, you finally remembered me."
Zhou Jiayan was a little shy when Shen Qingqing hugged him in public, and whined softly, "Don't hug me in public, I'm a big boy."
Hearing this, Shen Qingqing's hands became tighter and tighter. "Little idiot, you should know that not every child has the opportunity to be hugged by a beauty like me. You should cherish it."
Zhou Jiayan struggled a few more times, but found that his stepmother's hand was getting tighter and tighter, so he gave up.
What's more, he found that he didn't seem to be so averse to being held by his stepmother.
Then he whispered in Shen Qingqing's ear, "You have to finish the mission quickly and come back. Be obedient, and I will finish the mission soon and come back."
Shen Qingqing didn't expect that she would be educated by a five-year-old child. Is she so unreliable?
She poked Zhou Jiayan's little head unconvinced and said, "Just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about my IQ, okay? But you, use your little brain more and don't be foolish enough to be led by the nose by the production team, okay?"
Zhou Jiayan touched the place where Shen Qingqing had poked him, and said unhappily, "I'm not stupid, and if you poke my head again I'll become stupid."
Although she knew that what Zhou Jiayan said had no scientific basis, Shen Qingqing still gently rubbed Zhou Jiayan's head. After all, he was already a little fool now, what would happen if he became even more stupid?
The two of them gave each other a few more words of advice before finally parting.
Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room sighed again.
[Hahaha, this is so funny. I thought they were just going to leave, but they hugged each other at the end. I thought they were going to get sentimental, but they started to dislike each other again.]
[Shen Qingqing is young. To be honest, she is only in her early twenties. Many girls of this age are still studying. It is normal that she is not as mature as other mothers.]
[I think this kind of relationship is pretty good. There is no traditional parental authority. Yanyan obviously enjoys bickering with Shen Qingqing.]
[In fact, I don’t dare to say that my mother and I are the same. To outsiders, we look more like sisters than mother and daughter.]
[I think as long as parents and children get along well, there is no need to follow certain rules.]
