After returning home, little Zhou Jiayan soon discovered that his mother, Shen Qingqing, did not know how to cook.

He thought of the bowl of noodles that Shen Qingqing had made before, and his face immediately turned pale.

Woo woo woo, there’s no dad to save him this time, is he really going to be poisoned to death?

Shen Qingqing felt a little unhappy when she saw the child's expression.

She really didn't like cooking, and she wouldn't bother to cook if she could, but why did this kid look like he was about to be assassinated? !

So Shen Qing, who had originally planned to go to someone else's house to eat and drink, immediately rolled up her sleeves and decided to do it herself. She can also make progress, okay? !

When Zhou Jiayan saw his mother's actions, he immediately hugged Shen Qingqing's thighs and said, "Mom, you've worked hard today. Otherwise, let's go find Aunt Mo Man or Aunt Cui Xia. They will definitely be willing to take us in."

Hard work? Shen Qingqing had spent most of the day in the conference room and did nothing.

However, Shen Qingqing's temper also came up at this time, and she said to the child, "Yanyan, the method you mentioned is to exploit the loopholes in the rules. We must abide by the rules. And how can you look down on me like this? Mom also wants to make progress in order to cook a big meal, don't you even give Mom this little chance?"

When Zhou Jiayan heard Shen Qingqing's words, he was stunned.

Woo woo woo, he didn’t expect that his mother wanted to cook a big meal for him. He shouldn’t be so selfish and should give his mother a chance.

Then the child gradually let go of the hand that was hugging Shen Qingqing's thigh. Shen Qingqing felt the child's action and smiled in her heart. This little fool is really so soft-hearted.

However, Shen Qingqing was unable to prepare the meal after all, because as soon as she entered the kitchen and tried to light a fire, she almost set the whole house on fire.

The program team hopes that the guests will abide by the rules and not take advantage of loopholes and cook their own meals, so that the program will be more effective.

But the premise for this effect is that there should be no safety accidents. When they saw that the firewood lit by Shen Qingqing somehow ignited the firewood piled outside, followed by a thick smoke, they were immediately scared silly.

[Oh my god, didn't Sister Shen just put the firewood under the stove? How come the firewood outside was suddenly ignited? ]

[I originally thought Sister Shen was going to cook something dark today and "poison" Yanyan, but I didn't expect it to get to that stage.]

[What are you doing? This is on fire! Oh my god, put out the fire! ]

At this time, Zhou Jiayan was sitting on a small stool with his iPad and reading an electronic picture book. However, because he was worried about Shen Qingqing's cooking skills, he looked towards the kitchen from time to time.

Therefore, he was the first to see the black smoke coming out of the kitchen. His face turned pale immediately, and then he ran to the kitchen door and saw that there was fire all around Shen Qingqing.

He wanted to run in, but Shen Qingqing didn't dare to let him in. She immediately shouted, "Yanyan, don't come in. Just stand outside and wait for your mother. The fire is not big and will go out in a while."

Zhou Jiayan knew that he was too young now and would be a burden if he went in, so he could only shout to the outside of the door, "Wuwuwu, uncle, where are you? There's a fire, hurry up and save my mother."

After the child's cry, the people in the program crew finally reacted and started to fetch water to put out the fire.

Fortunately, because they were going to record a program, the staff of the program crew had cleaned up the unnecessary things in the kitchen in advance. There were not many flammable items, and the fire was put out quickly.

However, a large area of ​​the kitchen stove was also blackened, and Shen Qingqing's face was smoked by the black smoke and turned into a little cat.

But Zhou Jiayan didn't care about Shen Qingqing's dirty body at this time. When he saw the fire was put out, he immediately rushed into Shen Qingqing's arms and cried, "Wuwuwuwu, Mom, Yanyan doesn't want you to cook for her anymore. When Yanyan grows up, Yanyan will cook for you."

Shen Qingqing felt the trembling child in her arms, and quickly patted his back to comfort him, "Yanyan, don't cry, don't be afraid, mommy is fine, don't worry."

However, Zhou Jiayan did not intend to give up. He held up Shen Qingqing's face and looked at it again and again, and then forced Shen Qingqing to never cook again before he finally shut up.

But even so, Zhou Jiayan always stayed by Shen Qingqing's side, and didn't even want to leave when Shen Qingqing went to the bathroom.

It was not until Shen Qingqing told him with a dark face not to be a "little pervert" that he obediently squatted at the door of the toilet waiting for Shen Qingqing.

Later, under the arrangement of the program team, Shen Qingqing brought Zhou Jiayan to the house where Cui Xia currently lived.

After seeing Cui Xia's house, she successfully felt the so-called disparity in the world.

What kind of mansion is this?!

The house has five floors in total and is equipped with an elevator. The first floor is a spacious and elegant living room, and the bedrooms upstairs are suites with their own bathrooms and reception rooms.

Although the decoration is a bit lavish, the furniture and appliances in the house are all top-notch.

This can really be considered a mansion built for "returning home in glory". She had previously thought that the program crew was just exaggerating.

Cui Xia was naturally very welcoming to Shen Qingqing and the others. She even secretly complained to Shen Qingqing, "You don't know how shocked I was when I came in last night. Although the decoration is a bit rustic, I saw a lot of bathroom products and electrical appliances that I couldn't afford to buy when I first renovated the house. And the room upstairs is big enough for our five families to live in. The production crew just wanted to make things difficult for everyone."

"I originally wanted to ask Mo Man to bring Shuang Shuang to live here, but the production team refused, saying it was against the rules. Mo Man is also a strong-willed person, and she immediately said that it would only take three days, and she didn't believe she couldn't handle it."

After hearing what Cui Xia said, Shen Qingqing agreed with it. This production team just wanted to deliberately make trouble for the guests.

It would be fine if there was no such house in the village, or if others were unwilling to lend it to the program crew for filming, but it is really too much to let them live in a shabby house when there are so many empty rooms in the mansion.

Especially the place where Mo Man and his friends lived, I heard that it was drafty at night and couldn't be stopped.

Shen Qingqing sighed about this. It was already the last episode, and the production team was still trying to trick them.

Since it is a luxury house, the kitchen is naturally fully equipped with appliances, including ovens and steamers, which are not commonly used in rural areas.

Cui Xia’s cooking skills are also very good. Although she only makes home-cooked dishes, you can tell at a glance that she is a veteran.

Shen Qingqing came here to eat for free, so she felt embarrassed to eat for free, so she helped Cui Xia wash and cut vegetables in the kitchen.

As for the two children, they were playing in the living room. Zhou Jiayan, as the older brother, was explaining a picture book to Song Yiyi. He spoke in a clear and loud voice and was speaking very realistically.

The two mothers in the kitchen could also hear Zhou Jiayan's voice. Cui Xia smiled and joked to Shen Qingqing, "Yanyan really tells a good story and is very patient with Yiyi."

For Shen Qingqing now, praising Zhou Jiayan made her happier than praising herself, but Shen Qingqing felt that she still had to be more reserved, so she just said, "Yanyan is a brother after all, and it is his duty to take care of his sister."

Later, during dinner, Zhou Jiayan also took good care of Song Yiyi, helping to peel shrimps and feeding her.

Cui Xia sighed again and again, "Yanyan is really responsible, and he is a really good brother. Nowadays, most people are only children, and there are very few brothers who can take care of their sisters like this."

Shen Qingqing was about to continue bragging when she heard Cui Xia say, "Have you ever thought about giving Yanyan a sister? He will definitely be a responsible brother then. And I see that you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou, so you can really consider having another one."

Shen Qingqing's pupils shrank instantly. Why were they suddenly talking about having a younger sister?

In a sense, Shen Qingqing felt that she was still a baby, and becoming Zhou Jiayan's mother was just an accident.

Before Zhou Jiayan, Shen Qingqing had never thought that she would give birth to a child and become a mother.

She couldn't help but think of Zhou Yexuan. The man was indeed outstanding. If she had a child with Zhou Yexuan, there would be no need to worry about the child's genes.

But she and Zhou Yexuan have no feelings for each other!

And would Yanyan, this love-starved little guy, really not mind that his parents were taken away in half?

However, unlike Shen Qingqing's guess, Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up after hearing this sentence.

If mom gave birth to a younger sister, she would definitely be as pretty and cute as mom. And if so, would mom not leave them?

Just when Shen Qingqing thought Zhou Jiayan would object, she saw the little guy clapping his hands and saying, "Okay, okay, Yanyan wants a sister too. If she has a sister, Yanyan can give half of my toys and books to her, no, two-thirds of them, and Yanyan will take care of her too."

[Wow, Yanyan is so responsible at such a young age. ]

[Actually, I don’t care whether Qingqing has a baby or not, I just want to see Yanyan take care of his sister like a big brother.]

[Just thinking about the scene of the older baby taking care of the younger baby makes me melt. 】

[And if Mr. Zhou and Qingqing have a baby, I guess we don’t have to worry about their looks at all, they will definitely be very cute. ]

Shen Qingqing didn't expect the child to be so "generous" and even took the initiative to separate the books and toys!

However, I heard that there are indeed many children who hope that their parents will give birth to younger brothers and sisters because they lack playmates. I just don’t know if Zhou Jiayan is like this.

Facing the child's sparkling eyes, Shen Qingqing could only laugh awkwardly and gave a very official answer to them, "Alas, I still want to work hard for my career for a few more years, let's talk about it later."

Seeing Shen Qingqing say this, Cui Xia didn't think too much about it. After all, she also wanted to pursue her career. Today, she just saw that Yanyan was taking his role as a brother too seriously, so she couldn't help but make a suggestion.

She immediately smiled and said, "That's right, Qingqing, you are still young, you still need to work hard for a few more years, women should have their own careers, I regret getting married too early now, and now I have to start my career again. But I am still very happy to have a little baby like Yiyi."

Shen Qingqing thought she had finally gotten over the matter of having a younger sister, but Cui Xia said, "Qingqing, what drama are you going to film next? I will definitely go to support you when the time comes."

Shen Qingqing: ...I was just talking.

But the other party was also concerned about her. Shen Qingqing recalled her thoughts when she watched the fairy tale drama that night, and said, "Well, actually I do have some understanding of my acting skills. From now on, I will slowly start with idol dramas that don't require high acting skills. As for you, if you have time, you can watch it as a mealtime drama, if not, forget it."

After hearing the conversation between Shen Qingqing and the others, an argument broke out in the live broadcast room.

It is true that Shen Qingqing's reputation has been improved a lot during this period, and she is even loved by many people. However, this is only due to Shen Qingqing's personal character. As for Shen Qingqing's acting skills, people are still at the stage where they find them eye-catching.

[I am very relieved that Sister Shen knows that her acting skills are poor. ]

【But to be honest, I think Shen Jie’s acting skills before were not even good enough for idol dramas. 】

[Who said it wasn't? I actually like Sister Shen's looks. I used to think that even if she was a wooden beauty, I could still watch her, but after watching one episode, I backed off. ]

[Have you ever seen someone with both weird facial features and amazing acting skills? ]

[How about Sister Shen, should we continue to participate in variety shows? We are not short of money, so there is no need to suffer through filming, right? ]

[You are a bunch of haters! Can't you believe that our sister Shen's acting skills will improve? ]

[We just want to keep our good impression of Sister Shen, so we don’t recommend her to act. ]

Shen Qingqing didn't know that her words would cause such controversy on the Internet, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

In the past, she acted for fame and to win the Best Actress award. Perhaps because she had already achieved it, she no longer cares about gains and losses.

If she acts again, she will definitely only choose scripts and roles that she likes.

As for netizens' comments, Shen Qingqing is very confident in her acting skills and believes that she can prove herself through her strength.

Soon their dinner was over. After Shen Qingqing and Cui Xia cleaned up the restaurant and kitchen, they took Zhou Jiayan home.

Just as they were leaving this "mansion", Shen Qingqing stroked his chin and thought, this is already the last episode, how can they keep passively accepting the teasing of the program crew?

She must find an opportunity to sound the clarion call for a counterattack, at least to make sure everyone lives a better life.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Qingqing herself couldn't stand such poor living conditions, especially at night, when she had to go back to help the children catch mosquitoes.

Shen Qingqing was unable to prepare dinner. Another person who faced the same difficulty was Xie Bing. Although she was better off than Shen Qingqing and did not burn down the kitchen, she still did not have enough money to prepare a normal dinner. So Xie Bing turned her attention to Mo Man, who lived in the most shabby house, and decided to move in with her.

Xie Bing is a senior with great acting skills. He is Mo Man’s idol. Naturally, she would not refuse the invitation from her idol.

Moreover, their house was so shabby and the kitchen was open-air, so she decisively took Ying Shishuang to Xie Bing's house.

Although it is still a rural earthen stove, it is much better.

Mo Man cooked and Xie Bing lit the fire. The two of them cooperated very well and successfully made a sumptuous dinner.

Ying Shishuang and Ao Liangjun were both very moved by this.

Ying Shishuang was touched that she could finally stay in the dilapidated house for a while longer, while Ao Liangjun was touched that he could finally have a full meal. God knows he was scared to death when he saw Xie Bing was going to cook.

But he knew that his mother's cooking skills were only good enough to cook white porridge and instant noodles, and there was no way she could cook seafood.

After eating and drinking, the two adults and two children couldn't help but sigh at the difficult conditions. The crappy program crew didn't let them off even in the last episode.

As for Shen Linyan, this time she drew a newly built two-story building, which was the second best among the five residences. The kitchen was also a modern one, with all the necessary facilities such as a gas stove.

Although the atmosphere between Shen Linyan and Liang Tianyi was a little weird, they still maintained superficial harmony, so they spent the night smoothly.

On the morning of the third day, everyone gathered in the village center again.

Xu Xiang once again made a brilliant appearance and announced today's task. "As we all know, fishing villages generally rely on the sea for their livelihood, but some people also go to the sea to catch seafood. Every time the tide rises and falls, the sea will bring food to humans. So this time our task is to catch seafood. The mothers will bring their children to the sea to catch seafood. The group of guests who picks up the most seafood will be the winner today and will receive a gift we have carefully prepared."

No one really cares about the surprise Xu Xiang mentioned. The so-called surprise Xu Xiang mentioned is probably some fruit, snacks, etc. There is no surprise at all.

Shen Qingqing was even more speechless after listening to Xu Xiang's words. Xu Xiang was really boring. He always brought up eating as an issue.

She stroked her chin and thought for a while. This was the second to last day of the program recording. Normally, the last day was the day for saying goodbye, which meant that today was the last mission.

If they don't counterattack, they will never have another chance.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing raised her hand and said to Xu Xiang, "Director, this should be our last mission. I have a small suggestion. I wonder if I can tell you!"

Because of the last mud tug-of-war, Xu Xiang felt that Shen Qingqing's suggestion was still interesting, so he smiled and nodded, "You say."

Shen Qingqing found it funny to see Xu Xiang agreed so easily. This guy didn't even know that her suggestion was right for him.

"Director Xu, this is what I think. It's boring for the audience to keep watching our five groups of mothers taking their children to complete tasks. I see that you like to appear on camera very much, so why not appear on camera this time and compete with us. After all, as a very responsible program team, I believe that you must have checked out these activities one by one, and it will definitely not be difficult for you. The audience should also be looking forward to you showing everyone the so-called dimensionality reduction strike."

As soon as Shen Qingqing said this, the place suddenly became lively, especially the guests, whose eyes lit up.

The production crew has been tormenting them for so long, they have long wanted to go back on their word, and Shen Qingqing's words really touched the hearts of many of them.

The one who was most supportive was Xie Bing. "Yes, Director, as the head of the program team, you must be very familiar with these activities and tasks. This is the last task, you must perform for us."

Mo Man and the others also said, "Yes, yes, this is the last day, Director, you must perform for us."

The kids were excited too.

"Wow, uncle is coming too?"

"Come on, Uncle Bald. If you join me, I won't complain about you for a day."

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room also became lively.

[Hahaha, my sister Shen is awesome. She can always come up with surprising ideas.]

[Support Xu Gou to compete together. What are you doing always tormenting the guests? 】

[He just holds a loud speaker and keeps talking every day. His directing skills haven't improved much, but his belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he's been moving for a long time.]

[Xu Gou, if you are a man enough, accept the challenge, otherwise I really suspect that you are a eunuch. ]

[Xu Gou, please accept the challenge quickly, or I will definitely boycott your next show! ]

【If you are a man, accept the challenge! 】

Xu Xiang is regretting now, very regretful!

Shen Qingqing hadn't done anything naughty for so long that he had forgotten how Shen Qingqing had taken advantage of the situation! And this time, she not only took advantage of the situation but also wanted to trick him at the last moment.

Xu Xiang racked his brains to think about how to reject this "unreasonable" request. However, the assistant director stepped forward and whispered in Xu Xiang's ear, "Director, the audience in the live broadcast room is reacting very enthusiastically. They said that if you don't accept the task, you are not a man, and they also said that they will boycott your next show. This... So the TV station just called and suggested that you accept the challenge. This must be a big hit. You are not far from becoming the strongest variety show director."

It has to be said that Xu Xiang is a very career-oriented person. He is ruthless to the guests and can also be ruthless to himself at critical moments. Everything he does is for the audience's preferences.

So he finally nodded and said, "Since everyone is looking forward to it, I can't let you down. Okay, then I will join everyone to complete the mission."

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of warm applause in the audience, and it was obvious that everyone was looking forward to it.

[Hahaha, Xu Gou finally agreed.]

[Apart from anything else, Xu Gou has indeed been working diligently for the show's effects, and it was within my expectations that he would end up on his own today. ]

[I am looking forward to it. I wonder if he will shock everyone by beating everyone in the audience, or embarrass himself in front of everyone. ]

Hearing Xu Xiang's words, Shen Qingqing smiled in her heart, but she was obviously not satisfied.

So she continued, "Director, now that you've joined, there must be some gamble, right?"

Xu Xiang was a little puzzled, "Didn't I just announce that there was a surprise for the first place?"

This time, Shen Qingqing didn't need to complain, as other mothers had already started complaining.

"Director, aren't those surprises of yours just some snacks and fruits? Can you be more generous?"

"That's right, Director. The recording will be over tomorrow. We can eat as much of these things as we want when we get home. Can you come up with some surprises that are of practical value?"

Xu Xiang was also a little embarrassed, but the rewards for this kind of program were only symbolic. Even if he really offered something like a ten-day trip for two to Europe, these people would not look down on it.

However, seeing how excited they were, Xu Xiang felt that he still needed to calm them down. After all, it was indeed the last day.

"So what do you want? We can't get anything too high-end in this small mountain village."

And they wouldn't let him do anything that would embarrass him in public, right? Xu Xiang thought so.

Shen Qingqing glanced at the mothers around her, and then saw the so-called tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

So in the end, she spoke as a representative, "Director, you know that the houses we live in now are of varying quality, especially the one where Sister Mo Man lives, which can't even provide shelter from the wind and rain. But Sister Cui Xia lives in a mansion now, and we counted the rooms and it's enough for all of us to live in. So Director, if you lose, you have to agree to let us live in the mansion together."

While Xu Xiang was glad that he was not playing a trick on himself, he also felt that he had fallen into a trap set by Shen Qingqing and the others. It seemed that they had already decided to live in a big house.

However, Xu Xiang also felt that he would not necessarily lose. He was a grown man, and although he did not scout the location himself this time, when he was an assistant director, he did not help with such chores. He actually studied how to catch seafood.

Moreover, Xu Xiang also had his own plans, so he naturally wanted to make the competition more difficult.

Xu Xiang felt that he might not lose, so he asked, "But how do you count my loss? All the rewards are given to the best people. You don't mean that I lost if I didn't get first place, right? Now all of you want to get rewards, so do you all have to beat me?"

It has to be said that Xu Xiang's logic for getting to this position is perfect, and he also understands the audience's psychology very well. The audience wants to see him end up in disgrace, but that doesn't mean they want to see Shen Qingqing and the others win so easily.

Finally, after their "bargaining", it was decided that as long as the average amount of seafood obtained by the five groups of guests could exceed that of Xu Xiang, they would be considered the winner.

Xu Xiang was full of confidence at first, but he was stunned after the game started.
