Shen Qingqing was a little surprised by Shen Linyan's clean and neat apology, and even felt a little admiration in her heart.
There are indeed not many people who are so aware of the current situation and decisive enough to survive. No wonder it is the heroine in the original novel.
Guo Jie was so angry when she saw what Shen Linyan and Yu Bin did. "I didn't expect Yu Bin to do this to me. He is really desperate. If we talk about this later, it will be like we have no mercy. Moreover, I don't know how she managed to convince Fruit TV to stay in "Almighty Mom"."
Shen Qingqing could understand this. After all, the Liang family was behind her, and it would be very troublesome for the program crew to find someone else. Having Shen Linyan around would always be a topic of conversation.
What's more, once her apology statement came out, there might be quite a few viewers who were curious about how she would change herself.
Shen Qingqing patted Guo Jie's shoulder, signaling her to calm down. "Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, she didn't break the law. Isn't the entertainment industry a place where you have a chance to turn things around as long as you stay in this circle?"
"But are we really going to let Shen Linyan go like this? You're not such a generous person."
Shen Qingqing is naturally not a generous person, but she is always too lazy to move when others don't provoke her.
"If Shen Linyan completely changes her ways, I'm not the kind of harsh person who would call for her to be killed. But based on my understanding of Shen Linyan, she will definitely continue to cause trouble. So Sister Guo, during this period of time, you will have to keep an eye on her. Once we find any signs, we will pay her back tenfold or a hundredfold."
Guo Jie nodded, indicating that she understood, and now it seemed that she could only take one step at a time.
She sighed, not knowing whether to say it to Shen Qingqing or to comfort herself, "But Shen Linyan's apology has completely cleared your reputation. At least now, everyone will think that Shen Linyan deliberately slandered you for the bad news about you. And even so, Shen Linyan will be in trouble. As far as I know, several of her endorsements have been terminated and she has also lost several film contracts."
As she spoke, she thought of something else. "Come to think of it, Shen Linyan found you for a business cooperation. The brand is pretty good, but she can only agree to give you the title of brand ambassador. However, Shen Linyan was also an ambassador before, so I think she's not bad. What do you think, Qingqing?"
For celebrities, business cooperation is naturally the biggest source of money. For top artists, shooting an advertisement for one or two days can bring in endorsement income of tens of millions. Shen Qingqing was once one of them.
However, she also cherished her commercial value at that time. She only accepted contracts from high-end luxury brands or big brands with high national popularity, and she would not accept any titles other than being a spokesperson.
But as for Shen Qingqing now, even though her reputation has improved a lot, she is essentially still far behind the top stars. Even if she really accepts the endorsement fee, it won't be much. What's more, this brand had not been very good at looking for Shen Linyan to cooperate with before.
So she looked at Guo Jie and said, "Sister Guo, I think, I'm not short of money anyway, I think we'd rather have nothing than something bad, what do you think?"
Guo Jie was not surprised by Shen Qingqing's refusal. She had been working with Shen Qingqing for a while and knew Shen Qingqing's character. She would definitely not want a brand that had touched Shen Linyan.
Shen Qingqing: No, I just simply dislike the low salary and title. If I could surpass Shen Linyan’s title, I would definitely accept it.
Guo Jie smiled and said to Shen Qingqing, "Qingqing, you are right. If we work hard, you will definitely become more famous. Then we can become the spokesperson for a higher-end brand. By the way, I have already contacted an acting teacher for you. We can take lessons when you have time."
Shen Qingqing's pupils trembled. Damn, that's really not what she meant. Why are there so many rollickers around her?
Soon the break of the program ended and it was time to record the second episode.
Shen Qingqing received the latest task card from the program team while having breakfast on a Monday morning. The task card stated the theme of the second episode - Misplaced Life.
Unlike previous programs, the production team did not take them to the wilderness or tourist attractions again. This time, they were arranged to live in ordinary residential areas and live the life of ordinary mothers without a nanny. All expenses within a week could not exceed the amount specified by the program team.
As for Cui Xia, the program team arranged a special nanny to help take care of Song Yiyi so that Cui Xia can return to the workplace.
In this regard, some viewers in the live broadcast room supported and some opposed it.
[Hahaha, the program team is interesting. I thought the second episode would also go to a village and have a few kids compete to complete tasks.]
[To be honest, except for Choi Ha, no matter how devoted the other mothers are to their children, their daily lives are far from those of ordinary mothers.]
[Yes, after all, there are many nannies at home. In the first episode, I played more games with the children, and I didn’t worry about my children’s food, clothing, housing and transportation like an ordinary mother.]
[Although the mothers in the show often have a hard time, it is really too tiring for ordinary people to take care of children. Only Choi Ha’s state is relatively realistic.]
[I’m happy for Sister Cui Xia. She can finally try to return to the workplace. This is a good thing the program team did.]
[But can these celebrities really do it? They won’t starve their children to death, will they?]
[From the last episode, Mo Man and Shen Linyan should be fine, but Xie Bing and Shen Qingqing have bigger problems, especially Shen Qingqing. It seems that she can't cook at all, and she doesn't have the consciousness of being a good mother. ]
[You don’t have to worry about safety issues, the program team will take care of it anyway. 】
[Am I the only one who is looking forward to Shen Qingqing's performance? I'm curious whether she has the control over the production team or the production team has the control over her this time! ]
Shen Qingqing was stunned when she saw the task list. What? She had to live without a nanny or a cook? How could she live like this?
God knows she has never been in the kitchen! She has no confidence that she can support herself, let alone take care of a 5-year-old boy.
She would rather go to some village together like before. At least Shen Linyan would be eager to show off and be the chef, right?
Shen Qingqing deeply suspected that the program crew was just trying to torment her. She wanted to struggle again, so she forced the staff to call Xu Xiang and start bargaining.
"Director, I think your arrangement is unscientific. Ordinary families don't just have mothers and children. As far as I know, many of my staff members hire confinement nannies when they give birth, and also hire babysitters when their children are young. I think it's a relatively reasonable arrangement for you to let me bring a babysitter with me."
[Hahaha, Shen Qingqing really started bargaining again. ]
[She should be the baldest among the mothers.]
[Xu Gou will definitely not agree. He finally managed to control Shen Qingqing.]
[Can she really handle it? Why do I feel that it is more likely that Yanyan will lead her, rather than she leading Yanyan. ]
[Everyone believes in Yanyan. Although her mother is unreliable, Yanyan is reliable. ]
Xu Xiang knew very well what Shen Qingqing was planning. He set up this link just to teach Shen Qingqing a lesson for being lazy and cunning all day long. How could he leave a loophole for her to exploit?
Moreover, among these four mothers, Shen Qingqing seems to have the biggest problem, so I think the various unexpected effects of the show will also be the best.
"Ms. Shen Qingqing, do you know how many people in China still have a monthly income of less than 3,000 yuan? Who can hire a nanny if they don't have 3,000 yuan?"
After hearing what the director said, Shen Qingqing had to admit that he was telling the truth, but she still didn't give up, "Director, I think that in a normal family, there are parents, parents-in-law, and husbands, and not all children are raised by one person."
Xu Xiang thought of the popularity and topicality Zhou Yexuan caused on the Internet when he appeared, and an idea came to him.
"I think what you said does make some sense. Most families also have husbands. So, you can let your husband participate in this mission and share the childcare work with you."
[Xu Xiang is finally smart this time. I can see that he is targeting the traffic of the big boss last week again.]
[Wow, this is the first time in my life that I support Xu Gou. Let’s “torture” Qingqing a little more and make her cry and look for her husband! ]
[So is the spring of our "Ye Qing" CP coming? I am rubbing my hands in excitement. 】
Let Zhou Yexuan join in? Shen Qingqing felt even more headache after hearing what the director said. She would rather raise the baby alone.
Finally, Shen Qingqing faced the reality that Xu Xiang would never go easy on her. With a sigh, Shen Qingqing decisively hung up the phone.
Then she turned to Zhou Jiayan who had just swallowed the last piece of bread and said, "Son, I suggest you eat more for breakfast, because you may not be able to eat such delicious food in the next week. Don't blame mom, it's that bald Uncle Xu who is not a human being."
Hearing Shen Qingqing's words, Zhou Jiayan opened his eyes wide involuntarily. What did stepmother mean by this? Are they going to starve?
Even though he didn't know the specific content of the task, Zhou Jiayan had an ominous premonition in his heart. Looking at the egg left on the plate, he stretched out his little claws, took the egg in his hand, and peeled it.
Although he is full, he still eats one more.
After breakfast, Shen Qingqing and the others put their spare clothes into the suitcases under the supervision of the program crew. Of course, the most important thing was to supervise them so that they could not secretly take in any money or valuables.
Even Shen Qingqing wanted to secretly take a bag of cooked and packaged meat, but it was impossible. Shen Qingqing smiled helplessly at Zhou Jiayan, "My son, I tried my best."
Seeing this, Zhou Jiayan hid the children's biscuits that he had secretly stuffed into the suitcase deeper.
After packing their luggage, the mother and son got on the program crew's car and arrived outside an old residential area.
Of course, the environment of the community is not particularly bad. There are six or seven-story residential buildings, which are more than ten years old, which is an average level in the whole city. The residents of the community are mostly locals. There are many small vendors around, which is very lively.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the program crew didn't ask them to live in a village in the city, right?
The accommodation prepared for them by the program team is a one-bedroom apartment on the third floor, which is about 50 square meters in total. The furniture in the room is complete, and the pots, bowls and chopsticks are all ready. Although it looks a bit old, it is clean.
But Shen Qingqing soon discovered that there was no daily necessities such as laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
She couldn't help but ask the staff curiously, "Our show is a big hit, is it possible that there are no household products brands that want to be included? Don't businesses want to take advantage of this great opportunity?"
The staff could guess the unspoken meaning in Shen Qingqing's words. She didn't want to spend money to buy it herself, and wanted to take advantage of the program crew.
The staff member smiled and said, "There are still many businesses that want to sponsor, but the director thinks that if the program team arranges your food, clothing, housing and transportation, it will lack the important part of experiencing the lives of ordinary people, so he rejected them all."
Shen Qingqing laughed awkwardly and praised him insincerely, "The director really treats money like dirt."
Everyone couldn't help but think of Xu Xiang kneeling and licking advertisers, and sighed in their hearts that Miss Shen was getting more and more sarcastic.
The production crew had already set up the camera and other equipment in the room, so there was no need to prepare anything now. After confirming that Shen Qingqing and the others knew the rules of the mission and had no other questions, most of the staff left, leaving only the photographer who needed to follow Shen Qingqing and the others in the next room.
After all the staff had left, only Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan were left in the room.
Shen Qingqing looked listless, but Zhou Jiayan unexpectedly looked excited, and did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable about coming to such a dilapidated environment for him.
He looked around with his short legs, then ran back to Shen Qingqing and sighed to her, "Mom, this room is so small, only as big as my bedroom. But it's good, we can be closer this week! It took me a long time to walk from my bedroom to yours before."
Looking at such a soft glutinous rice dumpling, Shen Qingqing felt her heart soften, but soon she thought that the child in front of her would be the source of her troubles in the past week and she couldn't help getting crazy again, so she stretched out her sinful hands again, rubbed Zhou Jiayan's chubby face well, and then she got rid of the depression in her heart.
After sitting on the sofa for a long time, Shen Qingqing finally perked up and started thinking about what to do next. Considering that there was not even a broom and rag in the house, Shen Qingqing decided to go shopping first.
In order to avoid going out again, she began to count the things she needed to buy.
She didn't have much life experience in her previous life or this life, so after following her memory and searching the Internet, Shen Qingqing finally made a shopping list, including rice, cooking oil, seasonings, vegetables, meat, cleaning supplies, toothpaste and toothbrushes, towels, shower gel, shampoo, etc.
After doing all this, Shen Qingqing felt that she was still very smart and there shouldn't be any big problems.
Then she picked up the envelope of 800 yuan left by the production team on the coffee table and opened it. In order to avoid being cheated by the production team, she also counted the money. However, the production team would not cheat them on such a small amount of money. It turned out to be eight.
Then Shen Qingqing was about to put the money into her wallet. The moment she lowered her head, she saw the desire for the red banknotes in Zhou Jiayan's eyes, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Hehe, she can use money to "hire" child laborers.
"You want it? Yanyan."
[It's over. Why do I feel like Shen Qingqing has another bad idea? 】
[It looks like she is trying to trick the child again. ]
[Yanyan, be smart and don't be fooled by Shen Qingqing! ]
Little boy Zhou Jiayan nodded his head. Although he had everything he wanted since he was a child and had no shortage of money, he had indeed never spent any money.
So when he saw the money in Shen Qingqing's hand, he also wanted to try the feeling of having money in his pocket.
"Yes, Mom. Give one to Yanyan. I promise to keep it well and not spend it recklessly."
Seeing how eager the child was, Shen Qingqing felt more and more that her plan would succeed.
"Then do you know that money requires corresponding labor to be exchanged?"
Zhou Jiayan felt as if he had listened to the teacher in a daze, and then nodded honestly.
Shen Qingqing smiled even more in her heart, but her face was still serious. She pretended to be in deep thought for a while before saying, "Mom has always thought that she is a very open-minded mother, so if you want money, you can, but you need to do the corresponding work in exchange."
Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "What? As long as Yanyan can do it, Yanyan will agree."
Seeing the child so excited, Shen Qingqing smiled secretly in her heart, "Yanyan, you can see that there will be a lot of housework to do in this room and a lot of things to clean up, so Yanyan can take the initiative to take responsibility and clean the room with me?"
Zhou Jiayan did not doubt him, nodded excitedly, and promised, "Mom, I will, I will definitely clean the room with you."
Seeing Zhou Jiayan’s positive attitude, the audience in the live broadcast room felt quite disappointed with him.
[Why do I feel like Yanyan baby has been fooled again. 】
[Damn Shen Qingqing tricked the kids into doing work in all kinds of ways.]
[My parents also used pocket money to trick me into working when I was a kid. ]
[Am I the only one who thinks this is okay? This is clearly teaching children to work for money from an early age. ]
Seeing Zhou Jiayan like this, Shen Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, thinking that children are indeed easy to fool. However, when she knew the meaning of "clean and tidy" in Zhou Jiayan's mouth, she could no longer laugh.
Then she handed a million-dollar bill to Zhou Jiayan, "Yanyan, you must keep it well. If you lose it..."
Zhou Jiayan carefully put the newly received pink receipt into his zippered bag, patted his chest, and assured Shen Qingqing, "Don't worry, Yanyan will definitely not lose it."
Because it is a mature residential area, the supermarket is not far from their current "home". After Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan walked for about ten minutes, they arrived at a large supermarket.
Because it was a weekday, there were not many people in the supermarket.
There were many shopping carts at the entrance of the supermarket. Shen Qingqing picked out a relatively clean-looking cart and said to Zhou Jiayan, "Do you want to sit up this time? If not, forget it. I won't beg you to sit up."
Shen Qingqing still remembered Zhou Jiayan's arrogant look when she took him to the supermarket last time. Zhou Jiayan obviously remembered it too and let out a "hehe" laugh.
This time he did not refuse and chose to get on the car directly. After all, walking with his short legs was too tiring.
Shen Qingqing didn't bother with the child, she squatted down and tried to carry him into the car, but she couldn't carry him the first time! And she touched the child's body, it seemed that he had indeed gained a lot of flesh.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but complain, "Yanyan, it seems that you have been eating a lot recently. You are almost as fat as a pig. I suddenly have the confidence to take you through this week. If you don't eat well, just think of it as losing weight."
Zhou Jiayan felt a little embarrassed about this. It seemed that he was in a much better mood after being with his stepmother, and he ate more as a result.
Of course he would not admit it, and he quietly defended himself, "I am growing up, so I will naturally gain weight. A lot of this weight is bones, not flesh."
Shen Qingqing also knew that it was okay for a child to be a little fat, and Zhou Jiayan was thin-skinned and couldn't stand being teased, so she stopped teasing him.
Then she exerted force again and carried Zhou Jiayan into the shopping cart. She felt that if she continued to take care of Zhou Jiayan for a while, his physical strength would be much better. After all, he was lifting weights for free, right?
She said loudly, "Yanyan, sit tight, let's go."
As she spoke, she pushed the cart forward with all her strength. Zhou Jiayan, sitting on the cart, cheered happily, "Quick, quick, quick, let's go shopping."
However, their good mood soon came to an abrupt end. When Shen Qingqing saw the prices on the labels on the shelves, her smile froze.
Shen Qingqing used to be a person who almost never looked at the price when buying things. She only spent money when she was young, and at that time she only bought some snacks.
Therefore, when the program team announced that she could only spend 800 yuan a week, she even thought that 800 yuan was quite a lot. After all, Shen Qingqing's memory of prices was still stuck at the time when expensive ice cream was only three or four yuan. How could she know that after more than ten years of development, ice creams are now available everywhere for more than ten yuan or even hundreds of yuan?
However, when she walked into the supermarket and found that any item she picked up would cost dozens of dollars, she fell silent. If she bought everything she wanted, wouldn't the 800 yuan in her hand still be enough?
At this time, little Zhou Jiayan was still laughing foolishly, pointing at a piece of imported organic milk on the shelf and said, "Mom, buy this milk. This is Yanyan's favorite milk. Yanyan drinks it every day."
Seeing that the small bottles of milk had already exceeded 100, Shen Qingqing took a breath, ah, this...
She sighed heavily and told Zhou Jiayan the truth, "It's not that mom doesn't want to buy it for you, but we can't afford it now."
Zhou Jiayan didn't quite understand the reason why he couldn't afford it at this time. He smiled and took out the 100 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Shen Qingqing, and said domineeringly, "Mom, Yanyan pays for it yourself, buy it!"
Shen Qingqing looked at her silly son and sighed heavily, "Yanyan, do you know how to count? Look at the label, it says a hundred, and what you have in your hand is exactly 100 yuan."
Zhou Jiayan glanced at the number on the label, then looked down at the number on the money in his hand. He already knew which number was bigger and which was smaller.
So he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "It turns out that Yanyan is a pauper who can't even afford milk!"
Seeing Zhou Jiayan who was hit hard, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but hug her silly son and said, "Mom is also a pauper now, and can't afford the milk that Yanyan wants to drink."
Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room suddenly burst into laughter.
【Hahahaha, my god, this mother and son must be experiencing such a poor and destitute life for the first time.】
[It's so funny, Shen Qingqing had no objection to the 800 yuan proposed by the program team before, I thought she was confident, but it turns out that she didn't understand the price at all. ]
[Little baby Yanyan is so miserable. When she got 100 yuan, she probably thought it was a huge sum of money, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even afford the milk she usually drinks. ]
[Shen Qingqing and the others are lucky, at least they didn't find out the prices when they were checking out.]
[I hate that Shen Qingqing was so smart this time. If she found out that there was not enough money when checking out and put it back, that would be really funny.]
After the mother and son hugged each other and cried for a while, they had to accept such a heavy reality.
After all, Shen Qingqing was older, so she calmed down, looked at her list, and decided to buy some necessities first. As for food, she thought maybe she could go to the vegetable market or something to have a look?
Then she pushed Zhou Jiayan to the daily necessities area. Considering that they only needed to stay for seven days, they took the least amount of laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, mosquito repellent, paper towels, etc. Then she went to the grain and oil food area and took a small bottle of 250L cooking oil and 25kg of rice.
However, after buying all these things, Shen Qingqing found out at checkout that she had actually spent two hundred yuan.
At this time, Shen Qingqing suddenly understood a truth: one who does not manage the household does not know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
Considering that it was almost noon and it would be too late to go back to cook, Shen Qingqing took Zhou Jiayan to eat outside.
Zhou Jiayan looked excited and suggested that he wanted to eat hamburgers and fries from a white-bearded old man's house, but Shen Qingqing ruthlessly refused.
"Yanyan, it's not that I don't want to take you out to eat, it's just that we don't have enough money. Now, if we eat with the white-bearded grandpa once, we will spend another hundred yuan for the two of us."
Zhou Jiayan was a good and sensible child. He didn't insist on eating. He just lowered his head, held his face with his hands, and sighed heavily, "Alas, life is really not easy. Before, my father didn't let me eat, and now it's because I don't have enough money."
[Hahaha, life is not easy, Yanyan sighed. ]
[It's really not easy for Yanyan. At the age of five, she has experienced the feelings of a 20-year-old office worker like me, who doesn't even have freedom over food.]
[I am Zhou Jiayan, the heir of a wealthy family. Who would have thought that I couldn’t even afford to eat with an old man with a white beard? This story all started when I participated in a program...]
[I am the heir of Zhou's consortium. I am currently participating in a variety show and all my money has been confiscated. Anyone who sees this message, please give me 10,000 yuan. After the show is over, I will return it a hundred times.]
Shen Qingqing felt a little sorry to see Zhou Jiayan like this. Who would have thought that she would fall to the point where she couldn't even afford to buy a white-bearded old grandfather for her child?
She reached out her hand, touched Zhou Jiayan's head, and comforted him, "Yanyan, it's okay. After recording this rubbish show, I will take you to eat the old man with white beard."
After hearing what Shen Qingqing said, Zhou Jiayan nodded excitedly.
Then Shen Qingqing found a relatively clean-looking noodle shop on the way home and ordered two bowls of beef noodles for lunch. Of course, Zhou Jiayan's was clear soup noodles, while Shen Qingqing's was served with red chili oil.
The prices in the residential area are obviously much more reasonable than those in the CBD area. Shen Qingqing only spent thirty yuan after adding two fried eggs and a plate of vegetables.
Although the mother and son were not short of money before, they were not spoiled either, so they felt that the two bowls of noodles were very delicious.
Zhou Jiayan has become very good at eating by himself and doesn't need adults to worry about him at all. He slurps the noodles in the bowl and drinks the soup from time to time. But children are always curious, and when he was about 70% full, he looked at Shen Qingqing's red bowl of noodles and began to explore.
"Mom, is your noodles delicious?"
Shen Qingqing was thinking about where to buy cheaper food and vegetables. When she heard Zhou Jiayan's question, she subconsciously said, "It's okay. I'll just eat it."
After hearing Shen Qingqing's casual answer, Zhou Jiayan said "Oh" and continued to eat his noodles. It seemed that his mother's noodles were just average, as her answer was so superficial.
However, after he ate a few more mouthfuls of his noodles, he was tempted again and asked again, "What's the difference between your noodles and mine?"
This sentence finally brought Shen Qingqing's thoughts back to reality. She looked at Zhou Jiayan and saw the curiosity in Zhou Jiayan's black and white eyes.
This guy probably wants to have a taste of her, right?
He used to dislike chili peppers, but now he’s become curious about them.
She smiled secretly in her heart. In her opinion, chili pepper is the most delicious food in the world. People who don't know how to eat spicy food have missed out on most of the world's delicacies. Seeing Zhou Jiayan so eager to try, she naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to recommend it to him.
But the child is a little small and has a weak stomach, so he won't be able to tolerate the chili pepper, right? If he gets sick, it won't be worth it. But eating a little bit shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "You want to know the difference? I can't describe it, but you will know if you try it."
Zhou Jiayan still remembers the taste he accidentally tasted when his stepmother put chili peppers in his bowl last time. At that time, he felt that it was not delicious at all, and he only felt pain on his tongue after eating it.
However, the stepmother kept eating happily and enjoying it.
Zhou Jiayan was a little hesitant. Could this be another trick played by his stepmother?
He hesitated a little, but finally curiosity overcame his caution. He nodded, carefully stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a noodle and put it into his mouth.
Then he felt a burning pain in his mouth again. He was about to cry and complain that he was deceived by his stepmother again and that the peppers were not delicious at all, but strangely he felt a sense of comfort.
Shen Qingqing saw the mask of pain appear on the child's face again, and quickly handed over the teacup beside her, "Okay, okay, drink some water. You have to eat spicy food step by step, and you will slowly experience the fun of eating spicy food."
Zhou Jiayan took the water handed to him by Shen Qingqing, took a sip very quickly, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then started eating the noodles in his bowl.
However, the more he ate his noodles, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if something was missing. Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Qingqing's bowl again.
Seeing him like that, Shen Qingqing knew what he was thinking. Almost all people who are new to eating spicy food are like this, unable to stand the spiciness but still wanting to eat it. She was also like this when she was a child and just learned to eat spicy food.
So she sighed and said, "Yanyan, if you want to eat, pick another one, but don't eat more. It's not a big deal if your little mouth gets spicy, but it would be a big deal if you get diarrhea. After all, we are very poor now and we don't even have money to treat you."
Zhou Jiayan groaned, thinking that his mother was a little stingy. How could she only give him one? But in the end, he nodded. One was also good.
He quickly stretched out his chopsticks, picked one, slurped it down, and then as expected, gulped down another glass of water.
But then Zhou Jiayan felt a strange sense of satisfaction and excitement rising in his heart, and he felt that the food in his mouth seemed to be more fragrant.
Looking at Zhou Jiayan's expression, Shen Qingqing knew that this would be the first time Zhou Jiayan would eat spicy food, and then he would never return from the spicy food path!
The audience in the live broadcast room also laughed.
[Yanyan, this is exactly the same as when I first ate spicy food, and then it became really fragrant. ]
[It's so cute. I'm afraid of spicy food but I still want to eat it. 】
[I declare that Yanyan is now also a member of our spicy party! ]
[Speaking of which, does Mr. Zhou eat spicy food? If he doesn’t, then wouldn’t his taste be considered a heresy in their family?]
After dinner, Shen Qingqing took Zhou Jiayan's hand and went home. She had also roughly thought about who to ask where fruits and vegetables were sold at a cheaper price.
Who in this world knows better than the elderly where there are bargains to be made?
It was still noon, when the sun was at its hottest, and the elderly must still be resting at home. Shen Qingqing planned to take Zhou Jiayan for a nap, and then clean the room after waking up. By the time they finished cleaning, it should be around five in the afternoon, which would be just the right time to go out.
The bed in the room was a 1.5-meter-long old-style wooden bed. It was quite old, but it looked sturdy. Shen Qingqing didn't feel any noticeable shaking when she sat on it.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing felt a lot more relieved, and the 1.5-meter-long bed should be big enough for the two of them to sleep.
At the same time, she flipped through the bedding prepared for them by the program crew. She could see that it was all new and had been washed in advance. She could smell the scent of laundry detergent and disinfectant. Shen Qingqing then took Zhou Jiayan to lie down on it with peace of mind.
Of course, this time, she still remembered to set the alarm. After all, with her sleepiness, if she woke up naturally, it would probably be six or seven in the evening. Why would she bother cleaning the room or buying groceries?
Although Shen Qingqing is lazy, she can still get up when there is something to do. At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the cell phone on the bedside rang, she got up and then started cleaning with Zhou Jiayan.
The whole room was not particularly dirty, just a little dusty and stuff, and it was obvious that the owner took good care of the room when he lived there, and there weren't any major traces of oil smoke in the kitchen.
Shen Qingqing held out a small bucket of water and handed Zhou Jiayan a rag. "You are too small to use a mop, so just use the rag to wipe the furniture. I will just sweep and mop the floor."
Zhou Jiayan had no objection to this and nodded decisively. He seemed to be in a good mood and was even singing while wiping the table.
Shen Qingqing found it funny and was curious as to why the child could be so energetic and even work so enthusiastically.
For Shen Qingqing, the last time she cleaned her room seemed to be more than ten years ago. At that time, she was not yet famous, and her parents had not yet decided to let her become a star, so she could still live the life of an ordinary child.
It seemed that she was very happy at that time. For her at that time, she was happy as long as she didn't practice dancing.
Could it be that Zhou Jiayan also had this mentality? But she clearly didn't ask Zhou Jiayan to do anything!
Shaking away the complicated thoughts in her mind, Shen Qingqing began to clean the room.
Generally speaking, the room is relatively clean. There are no large pieces of paper, but mostly dust. Part of the wall has fallen off due to age, leaving a patch of dust on the floor.
Shen Qingqing naturally cleaned the room very carefully, after all, this was where they were going to live for a week. The room was not big, and Shen Qingqing cleaned the whole room quickly.
Then she went to see Zhou Jiayan. The child was still young, so she didn't expect him to be able to do much work. But unexpectedly, Zhou Jiayan worked very carefully, but too slowly.
After half an hour, little Zhou Jiayan only wiped a coffee table.
Shen Qingqing was a little curious. She had the impression that Zhou Jiayan was not a lazy kid. Why was he so slow this time?
So she began to observe, and saw that little Zhou Jiayan wiped the coffee table dozens of times, even the legs of the coffee table were not spared.
Isn't this too careful?
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She didn't think she was a sloppy person, but she was far from being as sloppy as Zhou Jiayan.
"Yanyan, that's enough. There's no need to wipe it so clean."
Zhou Jiayan raised his head from his busy work, obviously disagreeing with Shen Qingqing's words, "But every time I wash the rag with water, there is dust. We need to clean our new home thoroughly."
Shen Qingqing held her temper and continued to explain, "But we don't live in a sterile world. It's normal to have a little dust. And why are you wiping the table legs? We don't need them. Besides, you can't finish wiping until dark."
Zhou Jiayan tilted his head and thought for a while, then finally nodded, "Okay, then Yanyan will just make do with it."
Afterwards, Shen Qingqing saw that Zhou Jiayan had reduced ten times to five times. Although this number was still a bit too much for Shen Qingqing, it was finally an improvement. Shen Qingqing said no more and picked up the rag to follow Zhou Jiayan in wiping the furniture.
After working for about another hour, the entire house was basically cleaned inside and out. Shen Qingqing felt very satisfied. Just as she was about to brag about herself, she saw Zhou Jiayan running around the room checking everywhere again.
Soon he pointed to a corner and said, "Mom, you didn't clean this place well. There's dust here. Yanyan saw it."
After that, he ran to the windowsill again, stretched out his little hand and touched it, and then a very disgusted expression appeared on his little face, "Mom, you forgot to wipe the windowsill, it's so dirty, Yanyan's hands are all dirty."
Then she ran to the kitchen and pointed at the range hood and said, "Wow, there's still oil on it, Mom, come and clean it up, Yanyan can't reach it."
…
Finally, Zhou Jiayan checked the whole room carefully and concluded, "Mom, Yanyan checked the whole room and pointed out all the places you didn't clean. What do you think? Yanyan's eyes are very sharp! Yanyan is helping you clean the room thoroughly."
After saying this, he looked at Shen Qingqing as if asking for a performance.
[Hahaha, Yanyan has become a supervisor.]
[Shen Qingqing's face almost turned green. She never expected that the cleanliness Zhou Jiayan mentioned was really cleanliness.]
[If nothing else, the kid’s eyes are really sharp. I couldn’t see it at all in the camera.]
[I'm really curious, why every time Shen Qingqing tried to trick the little kid, she ended up getting tricked by the kid instead.]
[The above, maybe even God couldn't stand it anymore, hahaha. ]
Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan's little appearance and felt that she was about to have a heart attack. She was almost exhausted, and she was being criticized like this! And the person who was nitpicking was only a five-year-old child, so she couldn't get angry.
She must have hired a little supervisor, how could someone be so sharp-eyed? !
