The five groups of guests got in their cars and headed for their respective destinations.

The vegetable base that Shen Qingqing and the others were going to was not far away. The drive took no more than half an hour, and they arrived quickly after shaking all the way.

The vegetable base is very large, and it is full of greenhouses as far as the eye can see. It is said that there is also a lotus pond where lotus roots are planted.

The program team gave them the task of obtaining at least 6 kinds of vegetables today. Shen Qingqing roughly looked at the types of vegetables grown in the vegetable base and finally decided on cabbage, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes and lotus roots, which are all common and delicious types of vegetables.

Liang Tianyi was also a very obedient child. As soon as Shen Qingqing entered the door, he took the initiative to pick up the small bamboo basket. Shen Qingqing saw this and sighed in her heart that this was really a self-conscious child. Shen Linyan was really blessed to have such a lovely stepson.

Of course, one basket was definitely not enough, so Shen Qingqing picked up a slightly larger bamboo basket, and the two of them went in together to pick fresh vegetables.

The picking went very smoothly at the beginning, especially with little Liang Tianyi, who was the first to take the lead. He ran around with his short legs to help Shen Qingqing pick vegetables and select those that looked the freshest.

Sometimes Shen Qingqing didn't even have to do anything, as little Liang Tianyi had already picked the vegetables and put them into his small bamboo basket or Shen Qingqing's bamboo basket.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but give Liang Tianyi a thumbs up, "Little Yi, you are really amazing, you are simply the most hardworking child, auntie really admires you."

When Liang Tianyi heard Shen Qingqing's praise, his face immediately blushed. In his life, few people praised him so directly. Not only was Shen Linyan strict with him, but the Liang family also had high hopes for him, so they would not praise him easily.

He touched his head sheepishly and said modestly, "It's not that great. These are what I should do."

Shen Qingqing shook her head and said, "Xiao Yi, don't think like that. Today's task is for me, an adult, to bring you here to do the task, and I'm older than you, so I should do more of it. But you just took on most of the work of picking vegetables. I was only allowed to go to certain places where you couldn't reach them because of your height. That's really great."

Liang Tianyi's eyes sparkled after hearing this, and he worked even harder afterwards.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room all laughed.

[Although Shen Qingqing is praising Xiaoyi, I strongly suspect that this is her strategy! ]

[I also feel that Xiaoyi was fooled. He was really happier to work after being fooled. ]

[Although, it's not wrong for Shen Qingqing to praise people. Is it possible that she should criticize Xiao Yi and let him improve in the future? ]

[In fact, if you have observed it, you will know that Shen Qingqing also likes to praise Yanyan. Although the mother and son will call each other a little fool, it sounds like a joke. ]

[Heh, isn't it because Shen Qingqing has a long criminal record? She also fooled Zhou Jiayan in the same way when he was packing his luggage before.]

At this moment, Shen Qingqing really didn't have such an idea. After all, Liang Tianyi was not her son, and it was not so easy for her to order him around. But since Liang Tianyi was so enthusiastic, she would not refuse. She always enjoyed herself when she could.

However, this smooth progress only lasted until the time came to dig lotus roots. Little Liang Tianyi, who was always at the front, turned pale when he looked at the pond.

Shen Qingqing admits

Although he was not a careful person, he also noticed Liang Tianyi's abnormality and immediately asked, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?"

remember

Liang Tianyi shrank his neck and whispered, “It’s nothing, Auntie, let’s go dig lotus roots.”

Then he looked at the water surface full of lotus leaves that were almost turning yellow. He thought that the pond should not be very deep and should not be able to drown him.

Yes, Liang Tianyi was afraid of water. He had been afraid of water ever since he was a child and almost drowned when he fell into the swimming pool due to the carelessness of a servant. Shen Linyan had taken him to learn swimming several times, but he failed every time.

Shen Linyan was very helpless about this, and told him not to reveal his fear of water in front of outsiders, otherwise he would be regarded as a coward. Liang Tianyi always kept it in mind.

And he looked at the lotus pond, it should not be deep. He felt that he should be able to handle it.

Seeing Liang Tianyi's pale face, Shen Qingqing couldn't let him continue to pick lotus roots. She squatted down and looked at Liang Tianyi, "Xiaoyi, tell your auntie, are you afraid of water?"

Liang Tianyi didn't expect that Shen Qingqing would see through his fear of water so quickly. Shen Qingqing's eyes were clear and full of worry, which made Liang Tianyi unable to help but open his heart.

He nodded. "I've fallen into water before, so I'm a little afraid of water."

Shen Qingqing suddenly realized, no wonder.

She touched Liang Tianyi's head and suggested, "How about this, Auntie will go dig the lotus roots herself later, you wait for Auntie on the shore, okay?"

However, unexpectedly, Liang Tianyi shook his head, "It's okay, Auntie, I think I can overcome it."

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing sighed helplessly. The child herself asked for this, what else could she do?

So she nodded and said, "Okay, then you hold on to me for a while, and don't go too deep."

【Oh my god, Xiaoyi is so brave. 】

I don’t think most adults can do this.

[This adult said that although I am not afraid of water, I am afraid of insects. I am in my twenties and I will scream when I see cockroaches. ]

[Xiaoyi is so young, but he is trying to overcome his fear. He is really amazing.]

[But he looks really scared. Will there be any trouble if he goes down forcefully? ]

So, for a moment, the audience in the live broadcast room stared at Liang Tianyi nervously.

They put on rain boots and everything was fine at first, but when it was time to go into the water, Liang Tianyi hesitated again, his face pale and trembling.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing stopped immediately and asked again, "Xiaoyi, are you really okay? Don't lie to your auntie, I don't need to force you to accompany me into the water."

After Liang Tianyi hesitated for a while, he nodded and said, "I'll give it a try."

Shen Qingqing had no choice but to continue holding Liang Tianyi's hand and move closer to the water.

The water at the edge of the pond was indeed not deep. After Shen Qingqing got into the water, the water only reached her calves. She stretched out her hand and tried to catch the child who was still on the shore. However, this time, just as Liang Tianyi's feet were about to touch the water, he turned pale and trembled, then quickly retracted his feet, and anxiously stepped back a few steps, whispering, "I won't go... I won't go..."

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing immediately

After getting ashore, he hugged the shivering child and comforted him, "Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. No one is asking Xiaoyi to go."

After comforting Liang Tianyi for about five minutes, Liang Tianyi finally calmed down. He looked at Shen Qingqing with red eyes and tears in his eyes, "Auntie, Xiaoyi is wrong. Xiaoyi is a coward."

Shen Qingqing didn't expect Liang Tianyi to say this about her, and hurriedly comforted him, "How could Xiaoyi be a coward? No. Auntie has never seen a few children braver than Xiaoyi."

"But I'm afraid of water, while other kids aren't afraid of it." As he said this, he lowered his head, looking very inferior.

Shen Qingqing sighed, not knowing how Shen Linyan had raised Liang Tianyi to be so self-reflective.

She patted Liang Tianyi on the back, her tone very gentle, "No, Xiaoyi. Everyone has something they are afraid of, whether they are children or adults. For example, I am particularly afraid of mice. As long as there are traces of mice in the house, I can move overnight, not to mention seeing the mouse itself."

"For example, your friend Zhou Jiayan, let me tell you a secret, he actually doesn't like the piano. The other day he even told me secretly that he didn't want to learn it anymore."

"For example, Director Xu Xiang. I read on the Internet the other day that he is said to be very afraid of cold-blooded animals. One time, a guest caught a small snake to scare him in revenge, and Director Xu lost his wig."

…

Shen Qingqing whispered about many people's secrets, and successfully made Liang Tianyi, who had originally blamed himself for being a coward, go from sad to shocked. He opened his mouth wide, and his mouth formed an "o" shape. It turns out that adults are also afraid of so many things?

Finally, Shen Qingqing concluded, "Everyone has their own fears, which is normal. No one is perfect. Xiaoyi, there is no need to be so hard on yourself, understand? You can be afraid of things, and you can also have things you don't like. If it doesn't affect your healthy growth, I don't think there is any need to force yourself to do anything. Being happy is the most important thing."

Liang Tianyi listened to Shen Qingqing's words, thinking deeply. What she said was different from her mother, but it seemed to make sense.

Shen Qingqing finally calmed down Liang Tianyi and breathed a sigh of relief. It was getting late, and she had to go dig lotus roots quickly, so she patted Liang Tianyi's head and said, "Xiaoyi, wait for auntie here, and auntie will go dig lotus roots first."

Liang Tianyi no longer insisted this time, nodded and said, "Auntie, go ahead, I will wait for you here obediently."

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing finally felt relieved, and then went to the lotus pond and started digging lotus roots under the guidance of the staff.

Seeing that the problem was finally resolved, the audience in the live broadcast room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Luckily I managed to persuade Xiao Yi to stay. If I had really gone into the water and then retreated, I don’t know what would have happened.]

[Xiaoyi is so sensible that it makes me feel distressed. I feel like he is always forcing himself.]

[Today, Shen Qingqing really let me see her other side. She is quite gentle, and I think what she said makes sense.]

[Shen Qingqing actually enlightened me. God knows I have been really exhausted by social issues recently. After listening to Shen Qingqing's words, I decided to fuck socialize and quit.]

[Are you guys above crazy? You actually started to believe Shen Qingqing's poisonous chicken soup! ]

[Who cares if it’s poisonous chicken soup or not, as long as it tastes good. ]

At the same time, some people also discussed Liang Tianyi's education issues.

[I think Xiaoyi has been educated to be too obedient and reflect on himself too much? ]

[I have always felt that Shen Linyan’s education was problematic. Xiaoyi did learn a lot and was very sensible and obedient, but I felt that he was not happy.]

[Xiao Yi is so afraid of water, but he still tries hard to dig lotus roots. He is only five years old, and there is really no need for that.]

Fortunately, Shen Qingqing finally came back from digging lotus roots at this time. She wore gloves and held the lotus roots still covered with mud and waved happily to Liang Tianyi, "Xiaoyi, I'm back. Look, it's growing well."

Shen Qingqing has always been a little bit of a germaphobe, but at this moment her brain was completely filled with the joy of the harvest, so she didn't care about the mud at all.

Seeing this, Liang Tianyi's calm face finally showed a smile, "Auntie, Xiaoyi is very good and has been waiting for you here."

Shen Qingqing nodded and gave a thumbs up with her muddy hands, "Xiao Yi is great, wait for Auntie to take these off and wash them, then we can go back."

Liang Tianyi also nodded excitedly. Today was smoother and happier than he had expected.

On the other side, Zhou Jiayan and Cui Xia came to the river. This river can be regarded as the mother river of Zhuangyuan Town. Its tributaries also run across Zhuangyuan Town. It is also the river where Mo Man and others rowed when they came here.

Of course, as a main river, it is much larger than the tributaries that pass through the town, and there are already several fishing boats on the river.

The program crew had already contacted a fishing boat. Cui Xia and Zhou Jiayan were not pretentious people, so they went straight on the boat and followed the captain to cast nets and catch fish.

The captains are all experienced fishermen who have been fishing for many years and are very experienced, so the process of casting the nets is naturally very smooth.

Just when Cui Xia and Zhou Jiayan thought everything was going well, Cui Xia's cell phone rang.

Cui Xia looked at her phone and saw the word "Husband" in large letters on the screen. Cui Xia didn't want to answer the call, but after she hung up, the call kept coming in.

Cui Xia was afraid that it was something important, so she could only smile apologetically at Zhou Jiayan, "Yanyan, follow the captain first. Auntie is going to answer a phone call and will be back soon. Don't run around."

Zhou Jiayan claimed to be sensible and obedient, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Aunt Cui, you go."

Cui Xia then avoided the camera and went to a hidden corner of the fishing boat to answer the phone.

She thought something big must have happened at home, so her husband kept calling her in such a hurry, but she didn't expect that it was just the washing machine at home that broke down, and her husband called her to contact a repairman to fix it.

Cui Xia didn't understand why her once considerate husband had become like this, bossing her around, being very impatient, and confidently dumping all the big and small household affairs on her. He clearly knew that he was recording a show, but he still called her regardless of the time and place.

She was annoyed and retorted, "Don't you know I'm recording a show now? Can't you contact me later in the evening for such a big thing?"

However, the man opposite was even more irritable than her. "I told you not to participate in this variety show. Do you think you can become a star by participating in a variety show with other stars? What's wrong with you now?

I can’t take care of anything, and the house is a mess.”

Cui Xia's heart trembled. She didn't expect her husband to say such a thing.

She remembered that her husband was very considerate before marriage and said that he would support her no matter what she wanted to do after marriage.

When did attitudes begin to change?

It seemed that while his position and annual salary were getting higher and higher, she stagnated in the workplace because of marriage and having children. Finally, she quit her job to take care of the children. Then her husband began to just leave everything at home to her.

She felt impatient for a moment, and for the first time she thought about just giving up. Then she took the phone away from her ear, away from the sound of her husband's chattering, and hung up and turned it off.

Cui Xia adjusted her appearance in front of the glass window on the boat, and then returned to the deck with as normal a look as possible.

However, she was just an amateur and didn't know how to hide her emotions, so she was soon discovered by netizens.

[Looking at Cui Xia's expression, I guess it's her husband or mother-in-law again. ]

[Choi Ha’s husband is really amazing. Doesn’t he know his wife is also working? Whenever something goes wrong at home, he always looks for Choi Ha.]

[Because Yanyan watched Cui Xia's live broadcast for the first time, is Cui Xia so miserable? Isn't it said that her husband is an executive with an annual salary of one million? How come]

Zhou Jiayan was a sharp-eyed and careful kid. He also noticed Cui Xia's slightly red eyes. He looked at Cui Xia with concern in his eyes, "Aunt Cui, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? If you have anything, you can talk to Yanyan. Yanyan can give you some advice."

Cui Xia looked at the child in front of her who she had only known for a short time but who was full of concern, and then thought of her husband who had slept in the same bed with her for several years. She felt very sad for a moment.

She knew that these things of hers were not something a five-year-old child could understand. However, at this moment, someone cared about her. Cui Xia felt a lot better, and she even wanted to tell the child in front of her about her troubles.

Or maybe it was because the child didn't understand anything and wouldn't laugh at her like some adults would after listening to her troubles, so she wanted to tell her troubles to the child in front of her.

At this time, the fishing net has been put into the water, and the captain and crew members have started to play cards, chat and take a break in groups of three or four, just waiting for the final collection of the net.

So Cui Xia took Zhou Jiayan to a quiet place to sit down and began to tell him what had happened.

"Yanyan, will you support your mother to go out to work?"

Zhou Jiayan thought of Shen Qingqing. He felt that his current stepmother was too lazy. If there were no shows to record, he felt that Shen Qingqing’s daily life would just be eating and sleeping.

As a child who has been working hard since he was young, he certainly thinks that everyone should work, at least not like his stepmother.

He nodded and said, "Of course I support you. If I didn't have a job, it would be so boring to stay at home all day, and I wouldn't be able to make new friends."

When Cui Xia heard Zhou Jiayan's answer, she couldn't help but feel that Shen Qingqing had a sensible and obedient son.

"But my aunt's husband and family didn't support me going out to work. They said that as long as I could take care of the family, it would be fine. Anyway, my husband's money was enough for me to spend. I was in my current state and had been away from the workplace for too long. I wouldn't be able to find a good job if I went out.

, the money earned may not be as much as the money for hiring a nanny."

Cui Xia's voice was very lonely, and Zhou Jiayan frowned when he heard it.

He couldn't understand why he had to use money to measure peace.

For example, his stepmother, in order to work in the entertainment industry, not only did she make money, but his father even gave her a lot of money. However, his father still never asked his stepmother to stay at home and raise the children.

He expressed his doubts, "But why should we measure it with money? My teacher told me that work is more of a reflection of a person's value. My father also often told me that no matter how much money I can make in the future, I must persist in working hard and making progress."

"Also, I heard from the maid that my mother has worked for so long, not only has she not made much money, but my father has also spent a lot of money on her, but she is still working."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiayan missed his stepmother again. He didn't know if the stupid stepmother could handle Xiaoyi.

But since she loves finding loopholes so much, the program team will definitely not be able to make things difficult for her.

remember

Although Zhou Jiayan's words of comfort were not comprehensive, they did make some sense, although someone not far away was severely hurt.

[Although Yanyan is young, what he said makes sense. ]

[That's right, Mr. Zhou made so much money, but he didn't ask Shen Qingqing to stay at home to take care of the children. Is Cui Xia's husband worthy of making so little money? ]

[Shen Qingqing: You comforted me very well. Don’t comfort me next time. At least don’t use me as an example.]

[Hahaha, upstairs, our CEO Zhou’s wife not only doesn’t make much money at work, but he seems to have to pay for it.]

[I know you guys want to drag down Choi Ha’s husband, but I always feel like someone else is the one getting hurt.]

[Support Choi Ha to work. If it doesn’t work out, we can change husbands! ]

When Cui Xia heard Zhou Jiayan's words, she was shocked. Yes, even children know that work is to realize their own value, but she was trapped in the barriers set up for her by her family.

She always thinks about whether she can find a good job and whether she can earn more money from working than hiring a nanny, but she forgets to think about her own value.

As for the second half of Zhou Jiayan's words, Cui Xia smiled in her heart. How could a child expose his mother's pain like this?

Shen Qingqing has never had a good reputation among the public. Before coming here, Choi Ha had guessed that Shen Qingqing was not an easy person to get along with. However, after really participating in the show, although Shen Qingqing did not look enthusiastic towards everyone, she was not difficult to get along with. Moreover, she seemed to be more willing to play with the children than all their mothers. In Choi Ha's opinion, someone who likes to play with children is not a bad person.

At the same time, she was somewhat envious of Shen Qingqing. Although her business ability had always been controversial, she still had the support of her family, didn't she? (Shen Qingqing, who was still digging lotus roots, sneezed. How could she not know that she had the support of her dear family?)

After Zhou Jiayan said that, he looked at Cui Xia with his cute eyes.

When Cui Xia saw Zhou Jiayan like this, she felt her heart melt. She reached out and touched Zhou Jiayan's curly head. "Yanyan, you are right. Auntie thought too much before. Thank you."

Although he didn't know what he had done to comfort Cui Xia, Zhou Jiayan felt very satisfied when he saw Cui Xia's mood had obviously improved.

She smiled sweetly, "You're welcome, Aunt Cui. Yanyan hopes you will always be happy."

Just after Zhou Jiayan said this, they heard cheers from the fishermen behind them. Turning around, they saw the fishermen working together to collect the nets. From their cheers, they could clearly hear that today's catch was very good.

Cui Xia held Zhou Jiayan's hand and walked towards them, and then the two of them joined in to close the net.

With everyone's joint efforts, the fishing net was dragged onto the boat little by little. Looking at the big fish in the net, Zhou Jiayan exclaimed in surprise, and then said to Cui Xia, "Aunt Cui, there are so many fish, and they are so big."

Cui Xia felt very satisfied looking at the scene of the harvest, and nodded and smiled at Zhou Jiayan.

At this time, the captain also said, "We haven't had such a good harvest in a long time. It seems that you are blessed with good luck."

Zhou Jiayan was always very happy when others said nice things to him, and he immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, "Uncle Captain, you will definitely have a great harvest in the future."

Cui Xia also said modestly, "Captain, this is the result of your hard work. We dare not take credit for it."

The captain was very pleased to see the two men's good attitudes, and said with a smile, "Then you can pick a few big fish to take back later, take as much as you want."

Zhou Jiayan exclaimed "Wow" again, obviously very happy, and clapped his hands, "Really? Thank you, uncle."

Seeing such a sensible and cute child, the captain couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch Zhou Jiayan's little head. "Of course, uncle will help you choose the biggest and freshest ones later."

Cui Xia looked at this scene and her first sincere smile of the day appeared on her face.

Look, God is telling her that he will bless her and everything will go well.

At the same time, other groups were also working hard to complete their tasks.

Mo Man took Song Yiyi to a flour mill in the west of the town, and experienced the ancient stone mill grinding flour.

Song Yiyi is small and weak, so Mo Man held her hand and pushed with her. When Song Yiyi saw the white flour being ground, she smiled with her eyes curved.

Then the two men went home with the flour they had ground.

Xie Bing took Ying Shishuang to the chicken farm to catch chickens.

Xie Bing originally thought that a little princess like Ying Shishuang who was brought up in a pampered way would be afraid of smelly chickens. However, unexpectedly, Ying Shishuang actually opened her eyes wide when she saw the chickens with bright feathers.

She liked roosters more because their feathers and combs were brighter. She exclaimed, looked at Xie Bing with her watery eyes and said, "The big rooster is so beautiful. Aunt Xie, can I take one home?"

Xie Bing looked at the rooster crowing proudly and imagined the scene of Ying Shishuang raising it in her villa. It was such a beautiful picture.

Not to mention chicken shit and the like, Ying Shishuang’s family probably doesn’t need to buy an alarm clock.

But since it was Mo Man and Ying Kan who were raising the child, she didn't have to do anything to raise him, Xie Bing thought "evilly", so she might as well give them a surprise.

So she nodded and said, "Aunt Xie promised you, you can put a rope around the rooster and take it back later."

Ying Shishuang was so happy that she almost jumped up. If her mother was here, she would definitely not agree. She smiled sweetly with satisfaction.

Said, "Aunt Xie, you are so nice. Shuangshuang likes you so much."

Xie Bing also laughed after being confessed by the little princess and being able to trick Ying Kan. "If you like auntie so much, remember to come and play with auntie when you return to City A."

Then Xie Bing took Ying Shishuang's hand again and went to choose the hen to eat tonight.

Although Ying Shishuang felt that hens were not as good-looking as roosters, she still felt a little sorry for them. She hugged Xie Bing's legs and said, "Aunt Xie, they are so pitiful. Do you really want to eat them?"

Xie Bing could understand the girl's reluctance, but she had to eat meat, so she responded to Shi Shuang, "But if we don't catch chickens, then you won't have chicken legs, chicken wings, or fried chicken to eat tonight. Are you willing?"

At this time, Ying Shishuang didn't know that the fried chicken and chicken legs she loved were not actually made from the chickens on the chicken farm. She thought about it, and finally her foodie instinct overcame the little bit of sympathy she had.

"Okay, then I'll turn my back and you can pick one, Aunt Xie."

Looking at Ying Shishuang's back, Xie Bing couldn't help laughing, and wondered in his heart why there was such a cute little princess.

However, in order to have chicken in the evening, she chose the largest hen.

As for Shen Linyan and Ao Liangjun, they were the last to complete the task, and Ao Liangjun even returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion crying.
