Chapter 43 Chapter 43



In the end, under Zhou Jiayan's supervision, Shen Qingqing cleaned the places he pointed out again.

However, when little Zhou Jiayan wanted to do it again, she hugged Zhou Jiayan and said, "Yanyan, that's enough. If you continue like this, we won't be able to have dinner tonight."

Zhou Jiayan wanted to say something else, but Shen Qingqing blocked his mouth and he could only hum for a long time before giving up.

Then Shen Qingqing looked at the sun outside which was gradually setting, and took Zhou Jiayan out again.

At this time, there were already many elderly people playing with their grandchildren in the community yard. The children were chasing and jumping around, and some were holding toys in their hands.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing wanted Zhou Jiayan to go play with those kids, but Zhou Jiayan grabbed her clothes and refused to go.

Zhou Jiayan was a generous and sensible child, but he was not a very outgoing one. Seeing that he was unwilling, Shen Qingqing did not force him. She just patted his head and said, "Then you can only work with me. Yanyan, don't complain."

When Zhou Jiayan heard the word "work", his eyes lit up and he nodded, "I will."

Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan's look of a top scorer, and felt speechless. It turned out that she didn't understand the train of thought of top scorers.

She looked around carefully and then locked onto an old lady who looked quite kind and was with her granddaughter.

The old lady was dressed very casually, and was looking at her little granddaughter who was playing not far away with a smile on her face.

Shen Qingqing took a few steps forward and politely said to the old lady, "Auntie, hello. My son and I just moved here today. We are not familiar with the surroundings. We want to buy some daily necessities, as well as meat and vegetables. Auntie, do you know where to buy them at a lower price?"

The old lady was more enthusiastic than Shen Qingqing had imagined. Seeing that she was a young woman with a five-year-old boy, she immediately asked, "You are so young and you have such a big child. It's not easy. Where is your husband? How did you let you and your son come out?"

Shen Qingqing thought of Zhou Yexuan and decided that it was better to have less trouble than more, so she said, "He is busy with work, so we have to clean up the house first."

The old lady showed a clear look of disapproval on her face. "Oh, how can you spoil your man like this? The big and small things in this family are all your business. You can't just ignore it on the pretext of being busy at work. The more you spoil your man, the less he will care about things in the future."

Shen Qingqing was shocked when she heard the old lady's words. She didn't expect that the old lady could have such awareness. She would not refuse the old lady's kindness. She smiled and replied, "Okay, Auntie, I will go back and educate him tonight."

[Hahaha, Shen Qingqing is really good at climbing up the pole. ]

[She actually didn't explain and let CEO Zhou take the blame without hesitation.]

[This is really going too far, hahaha. 】

After seeing Shen Qingqing nod, the old man was relieved. Then he began to answer Shen Qingqing's question seriously, "Well, you can go to the vegetable market for fresh vegetables, but the market is not the cheapest. If you don't mind the appearance of the vegetables, you can look at the small vendors outside. They are all grown by farmers in the suburbs. They don't use pesticides, but they may not look very good."

Shen Qingqing heard this and nodded modestly.

I nodded. "It's okay. I don't mind. As long as it tastes good and is healthy, that's fine. I also heard online that vegetables with insect infestations are the ones that haven't been sprayed with pesticides."

When the old man heard Shen Jiqingqing being so sensible, he felt even more satisfied. He was a young man who knew how to live!

Then she started to introduce where to buy daily groceries at a cheaper price, "As for daily groceries, how can a young person like you not be as fashionable as an old woman like me? We buy them online now!"

Then she took out her mobile phone. Because it was an old phone, her phone screen was bigger and the font of the app was also bigger.

Shen Qingqing saw her open an app called "Pin Xixi" and then started to operate it. She first selected a daily item and then forwarded the link to the WeChat group.

Then Shen Qingqing saw that the unit price of the link was decreasing little by little. Although it had not reached 0 yuan, it was already amazing in Shen Qingqing's view. She and Zhou Jiayan opened their mouths wide with shock on their faces.

So this time, she was abandoned by the times?

Not only Shen Qingqing was surprised, but the audience in the live broadcast room were also surprised.

[I have the same expression as Shen Qingqing now. I thought the old man would introduce Shen Qingqing to some remote grocery store, but you told me it was Pin Xixi! ]

[I was not surprised to see this scene. It turns out that Pinxixi has already occupied a large number of lower-tier markets.]

[When I went home during this holiday, I found that my parents and grandma were all using Pinxixi. The only ones who didn’t use it were me and my cousin who didn’t even have a mobile phone.]

[It's normal for a wealthy lady like Shen Qingqing to not know Pin Xixi. After all, she should want the best of everything. And I doubt if she would be interested in Pin Xixi? ]

Many netizens doubted whether Shen Qingqing would use Pin Xixi as the old man said, but then Shen Qingqing performed for them on the spot what true fragrance is!

After the old man demonstrated it to Shen Qingqing, he said to Shen Qingqing, "Girl, do you understand?"

Shen Qingqing understood it, but how could she attract so many people like the old lady? She could only smile awkwardly and said, "Auntie, you are really popular. I don't even have so many people in my address book."

The old woman was not stupid, and she understood the unfinished meaning of Shen Qingqing's words. She patted her forehead and said with a smile, "Hey, I thought it was something else. Now that you have moved to this community, I will add you to the group. We will all be neighbors in the future, and we can help each other."

Can it be operated this way? Shen Qingqing agreed readily and joined the group.

Under the old man's gaze, Shen Qingqing downloaded the Pinxixi app and selected a product she needed, which was a plastic basket for washing vegetables, and the total price was only a few dollars.

Then she forwarded the first bargaining link in her life to the group, and then she watched the price of the link she forwarded drop little by little, and in the end it was only half of the initial price.

Looking at this scene, Shen Qingqing opened her eyes wide again. Woohoo, this was the first time in her life that she saved money, and it felt so damn good!

Seeing Shen Qingqing so excited, the audience in the live broadcast room was speechless.

[Shock! A wealthy lady actually does this kind of thing! ]

[It's so funny, Shen Qingqing actually downloaded Pin Xixi just to save a few bucks, and even entered

A bargaining group of hundreds of people. 】

[It's so funny. Should I praise her for being down-to-earth? ]

[Who would have thought that the man who once spent hundreds of millions to airdrop a heroine would be so happy just to save a few bucks. ]

[Am I the only one who is curious about who she will send the link to? Will she send it to Mr. Zhou?]

Bargaining is addictive. After seeing that the price of her product did not go down, and the number of bargaining attempts displayed did not match the number of people in the group, Shen Qingqing asked in confusion, "Auntie, why is the price not changing? There are obviously people in the group who haven't bargained yet."

Seeing this, the old man sighed and said, "Alas, you know these days there are always people who only like to take advantage of others and don't like to pay. If you still want to bargain, see if there are any familiar friends or something, forward it to them and ask them to help bargain."

Shen Qingqing nodded in understanding, then started looking for people she was relatively familiar with in her address book, and then forwarded her link to them all at once.

After doing all this, Shen Qingqing thanked the old man profusely, then took Zhou Jiayan's leave and went to the stall outside the vegetable market that the old man mentioned to start buying food.

While a man in the office was taking a break, he opened his mobile phone and saw a message reminder - I am getting products for 0 yuan, come to the app to help me get more!

Zhou Yexuan was confused. What was this? Shen Qingqing had actually fallen to the point of bargaining with someone? Or was her phone infected with a virus?

He didn't want to care at first, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and clicked in to help Shen Qingqing cut a knife.

This happened to be the last step for Shen Qingqing to reach her goal. When she saw the number become 0, she couldn't help but get a little excited. Therefore, even though Zhou Yexuan had chopped her with the last blow, she still replied with a thank you out of politeness.

After Zhou Yexuan received the reply message, he was stunned for a moment. Has he really fallen to the point of asking his wife to use Pin Xixi to bargain?

Except for Shen Qingqing, the other four mothers also received their respective tasks.

Because of Xie Bing's amazing national popularity, she and Ao Liangjun were specially taken to a small farmyard in the suburbs to experience the life of an ordinary mother and son.

She looked at the pile of chickens and ducks in the front yard and the vegetable garden in the backyard and wanted to pinch her philtrum. Moreover, because they had chickens, ducks and fields, the program crew only gave them 500 yuan as living expenses for the week.

Although Mo Man has filmed many rural dramas and actually knows a little about growing vegetables and raising chickens, she did not expect to bring her children to experience such a life when recording a variety show.

Ao Liangjun was very excited. He chased the big rooster everywhere, then stepped into a puddle on the side of the road and fell covered in mud.

Xie Bing's room was not tidied yet, and after such a shock, he sighed, "I don't want this child anymore. If there is anyone who needs a son at home, I will give him to you."

However, despite her complaints, Xie Bing still changed Ao Liangjun into clean clothes and washed the muddy clothes.

However, their lives do have advantages. At least they don’t have to worry about food. There is no shortage of vegetables, eggs, and meat, and they are all the healthiest, truly organic foods.

Xie Bing picked a few tomatoes and cucumbers in the yard, and after taking a bite of them raw, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed,

"It's much healthier than those vegetables in the supermarket that claim to be organic, and it tastes better too."

Ao Liangjun on the side was biting a cucumber, eating it with a crunchy taste.

[Hahaha, as soon as I saw the actress Xie, I knew that a chaotic life was about to begin. ]

[Although the little fat boy is a little naughty, he is really the source of my joy. ]

[His food is so delicious. Whenever I eat, I open his video. It is more effective than eating broadcasts. I can eat half a bowl more every time.]

[Am I the only one who likes this yard? My life dream is to retire quickly and find a yard to grow flowers and crops. ]

Mo Man and Ying Shishuang were taken to another residential area in City A, but this time it was a new community, but it was outside the sixth ring road of City A. Many of the surrounding areas were still wasteland, and the main means of transportation was the subway station one kilometer away.

There are very few elderly people and children in their community. Almost all of them are young people who go to work. You will hardly run into anyone in the community during the day.

Therefore, the supporting facilities in the community are very inconvenient. There is no vegetable market or large supermarket. The only place to buy vegetables is the fresh food store at the entrance of the community, but the variety is limited and the prices are relatively high.

Encountering this situation, Mo Man couldn't help but sigh, "It's like when I first came to City A for interviews. At that time, I had just graduated from college and didn't have a professional background, but I plunged into City A with the dream of becoming a star. In order to save money, but not wanting to live in an old community, I shared a house with a classmate in a newer community in the suburbs. It's similar to now, but it was still the fifth ring road at that time, and now it's outside the sixth ring road. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, time flies."

The photographer who was following Mo Man couldn't help but say, "Sister Mo Man, you are really good. I remember you became famous in the second year after you came to City A. You also won the award for Best Actor and gave birth to such a lovely daughter."

Thinking back to the past years, Mo Man couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Her career was indeed luckier than many people. She became famous after starring in a low-budget drama the following year, and then met her idol from her youth, Ying Kan.

She still remembers that in that play, Ying Kan was the male lead and she was the second female lead. Although she was already famous at that time, it was her first time to participate in such a big project, and she was filming with her idol who had already won the title of Best Actor.

As the second female lead, she actually didn't have that many scenes opposite Ying Kan, but strangely, Ying Kan often chatted with her.

At first, she just thought Ying Kan was taking care of the newbie, and she was very grateful. But when they were finally together, she realized that Ying Kan was not some enthusiastic senior who would take care of the newbie, and he had intentions towards her from the beginning.

People all say that she is lucky, as she became famous early, and fell in love and married a popular movie star, which made many people envious.

But such a life also requires a price. To publicly date and marry the popular national actor was a huge pressure for her since she still had a weak foundation at the time.

She remembered that at that time she could see insults from Ying Kan’s fans in private messages every day, and her every move was attacked by fans for trying to ride on the popularity of the movie emperor.

Fortunately, Ying Kan's position was stable at that time and he was responsible enough. They got married after two years of dating, and soon she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Ying Shishuang.

Also because of family and pregnancy,

She is semi-retired.

Of course, Ying Kan is a reliable man. Apart from filming, he stays at home with the mother and daughter. However, Mo Man feels that something is missing.

Especially after seeing her roommate who had lived with her in Beijing for many years finally become a wife and a mother-in-law, became famous and won the Best Actress Award, she knew that she still wanted to return to the circle and act.

She doesn't ask for fame, she just wants to be able to resume her beloved acting career.

Thinking of this, she said to her daughter who was still wearing a princess dress, "The environment here is similar to the one where Mom lived when she first came to City A. Today I am taking you back to the good old days. Remember..."

However, little Princess Ying Shishuang had a stern face at this time, because they were going to stay here for a week, but her mother only allowed her to bring two princess dresses. It was really bullying!

Compared to the stars, Choi Ha, with the help of the program team, once again entered the TV station's editing and directing department and started working.

Song Yiyi was taken care of by someone specially assigned by the production team. Song Yiyi was a little uncomfortable at first, but when Cui Xia explained the situation to her, she nodded obediently and said to Cui Xia, "Come on, mom, you will definitely succeed. Yiyi will wait for you to come back."

Looking at such a well-behaved daughter, Cui Xia's heart softened. Yiyi supported her so much, she must do her best.

After settling Song Yiyi down, Cui Xia took out her professional suit that she hadn't worn for a long time and put it on, then drove all the way to the TV station at full speed.

She was a little worried that her new colleagues would dislike her for having been a full-time housewife for several years and could only do odd jobs at first.

She had already done a lot of psychological preparation in advance and decided that even if her colleagues only asked her to do odd jobs, she would do her job well and change their minds.

However, unexpectedly, after looking at her previous planning proposals, her new colleagues were willing to give her the opportunity to plan together with their colleagues.

Cui Xia was very happy about this and even ran to the bathroom alone crying and laughing. She swore to herself in the bathroom that she must seize this opportunity to return to the workplace.

Seeing Cui Xia so energetic, many people were moved.

[I am also a full-time housewife and have been at home for three years. It is great to see Cui Xia return to the workplace and shine. After I settle my daughter next month, I will also look for a new job. ]

[Sisters, see, don’t just think about finding a good man to marry, work is what makes you radiant. ]

[I hope my sister can be very successful. Who said that a woman's value lies at home? Prove it to that rubbish man.]

Shen Linyan kept a low profile after apologizing, so the recording of the second episode of the show was her first appearance on camera after the incident.

Of course, this period of time is not long, but it is enough for her to adjust her state.

After appearing in the camera again, Shen Linyan was still gentle, and she spoke softly and gently when facing Liang Tianyi, discussing everything with him.

However, most of the audience did not buy it.

[This white lotus is acting again. ]

[How shameless! He even dares to participate in a variety show. 】

[How disgusting! If Bai Lianhua had acted with this acting skill, she would have won the Best Actress award long ago.]

p【It’s a waste of her acting skills to take care of a baby in a variety show now. 】

[I suggest sisters to retreat. This kind of person just wants attention. The best thing is to not give her attention so that no one will even read her whitewashing.]

[I just feel sorry for Xiaoyi. Doesn’t his biological father care about Xiaoyi? ]

【Haven’t you heard the saying above that if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather? 】

Liang Tianyi was very happy at first about his mother's change, because his mother finally became gentle and generous again, instead of suddenly losing control of her emotions and yelling like before. She also no longer forced him to do things he didn't like. His swimming lessons, piano lessons, etc. were all stopped, leaving only a few necessary courses.

But gradually, Liang Tianyi felt something strange in his heart, and he felt that such a mother was even more unfamiliar.

Her expression was gentle, and she even had a smile on her face, but he felt that the smile was not genuine.

At this time, Shen Linyan had already packed her luggage and said to Liang Tianyi gently, "Xiaoyi, let's go. The uncles are waiting anxiously."

Although he felt that his mother's condition was strange, after all, he had been with Shen Linyan for so long, and he still hoped to spend more time with his mother.

So he nodded, stretched out his little hand and said to Shen Linyan, "Okay, Mom, I'm done too, let's go."

They were assigned a one-bedroom apartment in a new community in the east of the city, which had the best environment among the guests on camera this time.

However, Shen Linyan still couldn't feel relaxed. While doing her tasks, she would secretly observe the direction of public opinion on the Internet from time to time. Then she found that no matter what she did, netizens would have something to say and would criticize her without thinking.

For example, she asked Xiaoyi if he wanted to help clean the house. Xiaoyi had a bit of mysophobia and shook his head. She then told Xiaoyi to just watch cartoons, but she found herself being scolded again.

[This woman is so disgusting. Doesn't she know that Xiaoyi has some mysophobia? Why is she asking such a question?]

[I guess he wanted to kidnap Xiaoyi again and do this and that, but considering that he was still on the show, he restrained himself. ]

[Now I feel that Shen Linyan is being hypocritical in everything she does. I am watching the live broadcast to see Xiaoyi and to prevent her from hurting Xiaoyi again.]

Looking at these comments, Shen Linyan almost threw the phone in his hand away.

This group of keyboard warriors are so disgusting. They always judge her from the moral high ground. If she didn't want to clear herself now, she would definitely ask her team to blow up all the accounts that insult her!

Looking at these "groundless" criticisms, Shen Linyan's eyes darkened. These "attacks" could sometimes be used by her.

She planned to ask her staff to collect all these comments, which would then serve as evidence of netizens' cyberbullying of her, and she could also take the opportunity to play the victim.

But she forgot that celebrities often get nothing when they confront netizens, and now celebrities' "selling misery" is becoming less and less popular.

Shen Qingqing took Zhou Jiayan with her to buy food. Of course, some people, seeing that she was a young woman with a child, bullied her and took advantage of her because she didn't know the prices of vegetables, and maliciously raised the price several times.

She ran into a middle-aged vegetable vendor who boasted about how tender his baby cabbages were, having been picked fresh from the fields that morning.

The most important thing is that he has a daughter who is about to go to college and is waiting for the money from selling vegetables to pay for her tuition.

However, although Shen Qingqing didn't know the price of vegetables, she was very good at reading people's micro-expressions. It was obvious from the uncle's appearance that he wanted to cheat her.

As for his daughter, it is highly likely that she does not exist, because there is no emotion in his eyes when he mentions her, as if he just said it casually. Even if he really has a daughter, he probably won't have much emotion in her, so how can he work hard to sell vegetables to earn college tuition?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing decisively took Zhou Jiayan away and taught Zhou Jiayan, "Yanyan, don't just believe their pitiful words in the future. That uncle is lying at first glance."

Zhou Jiayan didn't know why he suddenly brought this up again, and he didn't believe the uncle at all.

He defended himself, "Yanyan didn't believe it at all. What he said didn't make sense at all. He said his daughter needed 5,000 yuan for college tuition, but his baby cabbage was 8 yuan per pound, and there must be several hundred pounds of baby cabbage in his car. If that's the case, he obviously only needed to sell vegetables for a few days to pay for the tuition, so why would he be so worried?"

Shen Qingqing: OK, you are great at math! The clown turned out to be me!

Everything went smoothly for them after that. They bought thirty eggs, some vegetables, tomatoes, etc., and finally some noodles. Because Shen Qingqing had no confidence in her cooking skills, but she thought she should be able to cook some noodles herself, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing took the purchased vegetables and held Zhou Jiayan's hand and returned to their temporary "home".

She asked Zhou Jiayan to go to the living room to watch cartoons, and she took the food into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Considering the available ingredients and the difficulty level, she decided to make tomato and egg noodles tonight.

Shen Qingqing still had some common sense. After being despised and out of date by the old man, she took out her mobile phone before cooking and started searching for recipes.

But after opening the recipe, Shen Qingqing fell into silence. Who could tell her how much a little and an appropriate amount were?

[Hahaha, I can say that I get confused every time I see a recipe, how much is the right amount and how much is a little! ]

[Actually, this all depends on your daily experience, but for most people who search for recipes, we don’t have much experience at all. ]

[So can I make a suggestion? When you share recipes in the future, can you please write the quantities more accurately? Children are really confused when they see them. ]

[I have a bad feeling that our Yanyanzi's dinner tonight will be worrying.]

Although she was a little confused when looking at the menu, Shen Qingqing was in a state where she had no choice but to shoot.

It’s okay for her to go hungry for a meal or two, but the little ball who is growing outside really can’t afford to go hungry.

Besides, that brat has so many Internet moms now. If she lets him starve, it will probably become a hot topic immediately. Shen Qingqing can even foresee the hot search terms - Vicious stepmother Shen Qingqing doesn't give Zhou Jiayan food!

So she picked up the eggs and tomatoes and started cooking.

Beating eggs is simple, but for a novice like Shen Qingqing, eggshells inevitably fall into the bowl. Shen Qingqing carefully picks up the eggshells with chopsticks.

Then there is another bowl of clean egg liquid.

After that, cutting the tomatoes went smoothly. She cut them into small pieces. Seeing this, Shen Qingqing thought to herself that she had learned it all by herself and was truly a genius.

The initial success undoubtedly gave Shen Qingqing great confidence. She started to light the fire and pour the oil. Of course, as a female star who wanted to maintain her figure, she didn't use much oil. So soon Shen Qingqing tasted the Waterloo on her cooking road.

Can anyone tell her why her egg liquid got mushy so quickly after being put into the pan! And it also stuck to the pan and couldn't be fried at all!

[Hahaha, seeing her pouring so little oil gave me a bad feeling.]

[It would be strange if the food didn't get burnt if she put so little oil in it, and the fire was too big.]

[How come Shen Qingqing's cooking skills are not even as good as mine? However, the first time I fried eggs, I put too much oil in them. I managed to eat a plate of fried eggs, but at least they were not burnt, right? ]

Fortunately, Shen Qingqing was not completely stunned. She turned off the fire quickly, but the eggs were already burnt. The whole pot even gave off a burnt smell, which even Zhou Jiayan, who was watching cartoons in the living room, could smell.

He jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen, his face wrinkled, "Wow, it stinks."

Then he saw a black mass in the pot, his pupils dilated, "Mom, this can't be our dinner! Yanyan, don't eat this black mass, or you will die."

Shen Qingqing saw Zhou Jiayan's look of disdain and distrust, and she became a little angry and unwilling to admit defeat. She drove the child out of the kitchen and said, "I will definitely let you have a meal tonight. This is just the first attempt, and it's normal to fail. Just wait for the feast I will make for you."

Hearing Shen Qingqing's words, Zhou Jiayan had a bad feeling in his heart, but what could he do as a child? Now he could only believe that his stepmother's cooking skills could suddenly be enlightened by the Bodhisattva.

After Shen Qingqing pushed Zhou Jiayan out of the kitchen, she closed the kitchen door. Then she searched for the teaching video again and started to do it in an orderly manner.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are simple to make, and after trying several times, Shen Qingqing finally made scrambled eggs with tomatoes that were pretty pleasing to the eye. Of course, the price was a pile of mushy eggs in the trash can.

Shen Qingqing looked at the eggs that were conservatively estimated to be wasted, and sighed. It was not that she was wasting food on purpose, but her strength did not allow it!

And this is all a waste of her money. She originally thought that she wouldn't need to buy eggs this week, but at the current consumption rate, she will have to spend money again in two days.

But after this success, things should be much better next time, right? Shen Qingqing thought.

Then she filled the pot with water and started to cook the noodles. This time, there were no major accidents. Although Shen Qingqing put the noodles directly into the pot with cold water without waiting for the water to boil, it only made the noodles look soft and a little soupy, but it did not affect the taste.

After Shen Qingqing picked up the noodles from the pot, she added the fried tomatoes and eggs on the noodles. Considering that the child was growing, she also scooped more eggs into the child's noodles.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing was full of confidence, and walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of noodles, and excitedly shouted to Zhou Jiayan, "Yanyan, come quickly, the noodles are ready, I said I would definitely let you have dinner today.

After Shen Qingqing's busy schedule, it was already nearly eight o'clock in the evening. Zhou Jiayan was a little hungry, so he immediately turned off the TV and ran to the restaurant.

Of course, he still had great distrust in Shen Qingqing's cooking skills, and he stood on tiptoe to observe the two bowls of noodles on the table.

Surprisingly, it seemed quite normal. Although it didn't look particularly good, it looked like normal food that was edible.

Zhou Jiayan wondered in his heart, could it be that his stepmother was really a culinary genius? How could she have made such great progress?

Seeing the child's surprised expression, Shen Qingqing was even more proud, "Yanyan, how about it, I didn't lie to you, I said I would definitely let you have a meal today."

Being able to eat is always a good thing, and he has always corrected his mistakes. After spitting on his previous behavior of looking down on his stepmother, Zhou Jiayan nodded and praised, "Wow, mom, you are amazing."

Shen Qingqing was very satisfied to hear her son's flattery, so she reached out and touched Zhou Jiayan's little head with a loving look on her face, "Okay, okay, eat quickly, otherwise the noodles will get cold in a while."

Zhou Jiayan nodded heavily. After all, he was already hungry.

Then he climbed onto the chair and sat down, and began to eat impatiently.

Although the noodles didn't look very good, Zhou Jiayan took a special look at them before eating. They were all white and not mushy, so he slurped the noodles down with confidence.

Then, as soon as the noodles entered his stomach, he got stuck.

Although it doesn't have a burnt taste, it's still too salty! It's so salty that it tastes bitter.

Zhou Jiayan's originally fair and tender little face suddenly put on a mask of pain. Then he quickly rushed to the trash can, spit out the noodles in his mouth, then took a glass of water and began to rinse his mouth frantically.

Shen Qingqing was also shocked when she saw this scene.

Is the food she cooked so bad? She didn't believe it! This was obviously the most successful one after she tried seven or eight times.

Shen Qingqing thought that Zhou Jiayan must be naughty and wanted to play a trick on her! Thinking of this, she picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

Then a salty and bitter taste spread through her taste buds. Shen Qingqing felt that she had never tasted such disgusting food in her life!

And she actually made this herself!

For a moment, Shen Qingqing didn't know whether to swallow or spit out.

In the end, Shen Qingqing decided to spit it out. After all, her life was at stake. She suspected that after this bite, her salt intake would exceed the limit for a month.

Seeing the actions of the mother and son, the people in the live broadcast room began to wonder how bad the noodles were.

[This is too much, is it really that bad? Not only did they spit it out, they also rinsed their mouths seven or eight times.]

[When I first started cooking, I was also in a hurry, and the food was not well done, and the presentation was not good. But I still remember the taste of the food at that time. Although it was not delicious, it was edible. ]

[What kind of kitchen killer is Shen Qingqing? The food is so unpalatable. ]

[This side looks normal. I thought Shen Qingqing succeeded. ]

[I saw that you guys didn't want to cook, so I just wanted to say, did you see how much Shen Qingqing added just now?

Is there any salt? 】

[She not only added salt when scrambling eggs, but also added salt when putting tomatoes in, and also added salt when cooking noodles. It was a lethal amount.]

After both of them spit out all the unpalatable noodles, the mother and son began to look at each other.

In the end, it was Shen Qingqing who broke the silence first, "Yanyan, my mother's ability is just like this, and it won't improve in a short time. I'll take you out for dinner tonight."

Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded, but after a few seconds he shook his head again, "But mom, we don't have enough money to eat out. And eating out every day is not healthy."

Shen Qingqing knew what Zhou Jiayan said, but she couldn't really starve. "But son, if you don't go out to eat tonight, you might starve."

Zhou Jiayan couldn't help but frown when he heard Shen Qingqing's words, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't agree immediately. Because he remembered what his father said, don't ignore the future for the sake of temporary comfort.

Sure they can go out to eat now, but they can't eat out all week.

Suddenly he remembered, yes, there is also Dad!

In the morning, when the uncles announced the task, they said that we could ask dad for help!

Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up instantly, and she gave Shen Qingqing a brilliant smile, "Mom, Yanyan has figured out a solution!"

As he spoke, he raised the phone watch on his hand and dialed a number.

Shen Qingqing had an ominous premonition when she saw this. She was about to speak up to stop him when the phone was answered. A deep male voice came over, "Yanyan, what's wrong? Where are you now?"

When Zhou Jiayan heard her father's voice, she pouted and shouted, "Dad, save the child! Yanyan is starving to death!"

remember

Zhou Yexuan knew that Shen Qingqing and the others were going to start recording the variety show again today, and he was mentally prepared.

However, when it was time to get off work, he rushed home on time just like the previous week, and what greeted him was indeed an empty and quiet room.

The children are not here, Shen Qingqing is not here either, and the liveliness of the home is gone.

For a moment, a sense of loss that he had never experienced before spread in his heart.

After a long while, he chuckled, laughing at himself for not being used to silence. Hadn't he already lived this kind of life for thirty years and had already gotten used to it?

After finishing his meal, he went into the study to continue handling official business, but he couldn't help but start thinking about the previous week.

I miss Yanyan, the little guy with all kinds of wonderful ideas, and I also miss Shen Qingqing, the indifferent but noisy girl... It seems that with them around, the whole house becomes lively.

After realizing this, Zhou Yexuan was stunned. He actually missed that woman? !

He quickly shook the thought out of his mind. He must have been confused by Shen Qingqing this week.

Just then, his cell phone rang. He looked down and found that it was the little guy who was recording a variety show elsewhere calling.

Zhou Yexuan naturally answered the call immediately, and then heard the little guy's cry for help.

What? Yanyan is actually going to starve to death?

Didn't he go to the show with Shen Qingqing? That variety show had so many commercial sponsors, but they actually let the guests go hungry?

Zhou Yexuan, who was always calm, couldn't help but get anxious and asked quickly, "Yanyan, why are you hungry? Are you lost? Tell daddy where you are."

Hearing his father being so anxious on the other end of the phone, Zhou Jiayan also felt a little guilty.

The reason why he said it so seriously was that he wanted his father to worry about him and take it seriously, so that the probability of him agreeing to come on the show would be greater.

Zhou Jiayan, who is already well versed in the routine at a young age, spoke again, "Dad, it's not that I really have nothing to eat. The production team brought me and my mom to an ordinary small house and gave us very little money. We can't ask others for help and can only cook for ourselves. The money is really very little. I wanted to eat the old man with white beard today, but my mom said she didn't have money to let me eat."

Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan's act of misery and roughly guessed what Zhou Jiayan was planning. Was he trying to gain Zhou Yexuan's sympathy by acting miserably so that Zhou Yexuan would come to save him?

But can Zhou Yexuan do housework and cook? Shouldn't a busy man like him be even worse at housework than her?

However, before Shen Qingqing could praise Zhou Jiayan in her heart for long, she heard Zhou Jiayan say, "Of course, we are not the kind of people who back down when faced with a little difficulty. We don't have money to eat out, so we buy vegetables and cook for ourselves at home. But the food that mom cooks is so unpalatable, it's salty and bitter. Yanyan almost thought she was poisoned to death just now!"

Shen Qingqing was shocked. Although the food she cooked was unpalatable, it wouldn't be poisonous enough to kill her, right? She could understand Zhou Jiayan's exaggeration to attract Zhou Yexuan's attention, but the premise was that it couldn't be exaggerated to her.

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard Zhou Jiayan complaining about the food cooked by Shen Qingqing on the phone, they burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, Ji Yanyan is really getting better and better at hurting her mother's heart. ]

[How can you say that to your mother! Although it is a bit unpalatable, it is not poisonous enough to kill you.]

[Am I the only one who thinks this is correct? Eating one meal won't kill you, but eating too much won't necessarily kill you. The salt intake is way over the limit, everyone.]

[So, will Mr. Zhou come? ]

[According to my observation, one will come. After all, Mr. Zhou can't watch his son and wife starve to death.]

[Woo woo woo, Mr. Zhou, please come soon. Then our Ye Qing CP will have food to eat again. ]

Zhou Yexuan on the other end of the phone listened to Zhou Jiayan's complaints and smiled silently.

Of course, he also heard some exaggeration in Zhou Jiayan's words, but Shen Qingqing was so lazy that she probably knew nothing about housework and cooking. Being poisoned to death was an exaggeration, but it was probably true that the food was so unpalatable that she couldn't eat it. He also roughly understood why Shen Qingqing used Pin Xixi to bargain.

His mind replayed the lively scene of the three of them at home last week, and he had to admit that he really missed it a little.

Zhou Yexuan pinched his brows, sighed, and said resignedly, "Okay, Yanyan, send me the address and I'll come over now."
