Chapter 199, Part 2 (with comments)
199:
As viewers in the live stream commented, Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi combined for 18 points, ranking first.
Zhang Ye and Zhang Ning both scored 14 points, ranking second.
Tao Rui and Tao Tao were in the middle position in each round, and their total scores were also in the middle.
"10 points, third place, not last place!" Tao Tao said happily.
Tao Rui was also very happy, at least this time it wouldn't lower the standard of food for Mu Shaowu's family.
Yang Jin and Yang Shu, father and daughter, and Hu Kai and Huo Zinan, father and son who were trainees, both scored 9 points, tying for fourth place.
He Yao and He Lei only scored 7 points, making them the last ones in the three rounds of games in the morning.
He Yao:......
He Yao really wanted to turn around and leave.
But then the host said, "Congratulations everyone!"
He Yao: ? ? ? What the hell is there to congratulate?
Last place? Congratulations?!
"Now everyone can take turns choosing the ingredients they need for their lunch."
After the host finished speaking, the staff brought out the six portions of ingredients that had been prepared in advance and placed them on the table.
"First of all, please welcome Mu Shaowu and his son Ye Qingxi," the host said with a smile.
Mu Shaowu pulled Ye Qingxi over.
The differences between the six portions of ingredients were quite obvious. Mu Shaowu didn't need to hesitate at all and directly chose the portion with the best and most ingredients.
After watching him select the ingredients, the host leaned closer and asked Ye Qingxi, "Are you satisfied with the ingredients Dad chose?"
Ye Qingxi nodded. "Satisfied."
"Are you satisfied with Dad's performance this morning?"
"Very satisfied!" Ye Qingxi said approvingly.
"Speaking of your performance this morning, Uncle is really curious. Xiaoxi, how did you immediately bend down and start rummaging through the box after you saw a hole in the water tank? How did you know so quickly that the tool that could plug the hole was in there?"
Ye Qingxi blinked and said in a clear voice, "Because Uncle said it's a toolbox."
“When my dad was repairing the house, the box was also called a toolbox, so I wondered if there were any tools in the toolbox that could be used to repair water tanks.”
That's certainly not the truth.
Ye Qingxi just thought it was strange that the box was called a toolbox when it didn't contain any tools, and suspected that it contained hidden tools.
After just the third round of the game, He Yao, Yang Jin, and Hu Kai all failed at the hands of the aunt.
Although he and his father didn't fall for the trick and won the game, Ye Qingxi was afraid that the father had helped that aunt too much, which would give some malicious viewers something to use to criticize his father for being too cold and heartless.
So after listening to the host's question, Ye Qingxi changed her approach and brought up Mu Shaowu's help to Tao Rui again, in order to remind everyone of Mu Shaowu's helpful moments and thus counteract this issue.
Sure enough, his comment elicited a chorus of reactions from the viewers in the live stream:
No wonder!
[I was wondering why Xiaoxi reacted so quickly; it turns out it was because of the words "toolbox."]
[Haha, Xiao Xi's idea isn't wrong. Dad uses the toolbox to repair the house, so he'll use the toolbox to repair the water tank.]
What a smart and thoughtful child!
[This is a classic case of good deeds being rewarded. Mu Shaowu's initiative in helping Tao Rui repair her house made Xiao Xi remember the toolbox, which is why Xiao Xi was the first to fix the water tank in this morning's competition. A perfect closed loop!]
[Mu Shaowu is the real example of someone who's genuinely helpful. As for He Yao's fans just praising him for helping an aunt hold her child, calling it being helpful, that's just laughable.]
[Absolutely, I really don't understand how their fans can boast like that.]
Don't compare Mu Shaowu to He Yao; it's an insult to Mu Shaowu.
[Exactly, what did Mu Shaowu do wrong to be compared to He Yao?]
[Haha, no comparison at all. After all, Mu Shaowu was first in all three rounds and first in total score, while He Yao was last in total score.]
The difference is like night and day.
The host suddenly realized that this was something outside his field of vision. Although he knew about it, he only knew about it but hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and had long forgotten about it by now.
Oh, I see!
All I can say is that the father is kind and the child is smart.
What an enviable father and son.
Ye Qingxi successfully reaffirmed Mu Shaowu's reputation as a helpful person, and then happily went back with the ingredients.
The second to choose ingredients were Zhang Ning and Zhang Ye. Zhang Ning was overjoyed and picked up the portion with the most ingredients left, saying to Zhang Ye, "This is it!"
"Okay." Zhang Ye had no objections.
When it was Yang Jin and Hu Kai's turn, the staff specially replenished the same ingredients so that both of them could choose the largest portion, so that they wouldn't have the same amount but different ingredients.
He Yao and He Lei, who came in last place, naturally ended up with the portion with the fewest ingredients.
He Yao:......
He Yao looked at the steamed buns in the bag, speechless inside, but still managed a smile on his face.
With the ingredients selected, it's time for everyone to go home and cook.
Seeing that her father and the babies were about to go home, Ye Qingxi reached out and tugged at Mu Shaowu's clothes.
Mu Shaowu bent down, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Qingxi leaned close to his ear, covered her mouth with her little hand, and asked, "Daddy, I want to share the snacks we bought with other children, is that okay?"
"Of course." Mu Shaowu had no objections.
These snacks originally belonged to Ye Qingxi, and if he was willing, then so was he.
“Baby, it’s a good thing that you want to share with your friends. As long as you’re willing and happy, Daddy will support you wholeheartedly.”
Hearing his words, "As long as you're willing and happy," Ye Qingxi couldn't help but smile and sweetly said, "Thank you, Dad."
Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream felt as if they had been struck by a blow to the heart.
【My goodness, this is so well-behaved!】
So sweet, so well-behaved, so adorable! Our Xiaoxi is the best baby in the world!
[Xiao Xi is actually willing to share! If it were me, I would definitely have eaten it all by myself, hahaha.]
[Mu Shaowu also put it well, saying, "As long as you're willing and happy," which shows respect for the child's thoughts and feelings.]
That's right, this kind of parenting is much better than those who force their children to share regardless of their preferences!
I really love how Xiaoxi and Shaowu get along!
Seeing that Mu Shaowu agreed, Ye Qingxi then said, "Everyone, wait a moment, let's divide this snack."
Tao Tao: !!!
Zhang Ning: !!!
Even Huo Zinan was somewhat surprised.
He actually wanted to share the snacks?
Huo Zinan: ...
Huo Zinan's feelings were complicated.
Okay, he admits he also wants to eat snacks, but how can he eat Ye Qingxi's snacks!
Ye Qingxi is his number one enemy, the person he hates the most!
However, when Ye Qingxi walked up to Huo Zinan with a bag of snacks and handed him a bag of potato chips, Huo Zinan looked at the label that said tomato flavor, which was his favorite flavor.
Huo Zinan awkwardly accepted it and said awkwardly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Ye Qingxi said cheerfully.
Huo Zinan: ...
Okay, Huo Zinan admits that Ye Qingxi's personality is better and more likable than his.
If it were him, he wouldn't give potato chips to someone who dislikes him.
Seriously!
She's better looking than him, and her personality is better too!
Huo Zinan felt he hated him even more!
But it seems... not so bad.
Ye Qingxi handed out a bag of potato chips to everyone—of course, he secretly kept his favorite honey flavor for himself.
When Ye Qingxi gave the box to He Lei, she gave her an extra box of cookies.
"Leilei, you can eat it at noon."
He still remembered that He Lei was dragged down by He Yao and ended up in last place, only able to eat steamed buns.
He Lei nodded and said happily, "Thank you, Brother Qingxi."
"You're welcome." Ye Qingxi looked at her. "Do you have any eggs? You can ask your dad to fry one for you and put it in your steamed bun. If you don't have any, we had some ingredients with us. I'll give you two."
He Lei shook her head.
Ye Qingxi quickly called out to Mu Shaowu, "Dad."
Mu Shaowu walked over, took two eggs, and handed them to He Lei.
He Lei smiled again, "Thank you, Uncle Mu."
"It's nothing," Mu Shaowu smiled back.
He Lei's fans in the live stream were extremely grateful:
Xiao Xi and Mu Shaowu are simply our Lei Lei's gods!
Thankfully, Xiaoxi had cookies, potato chips, and eggs, otherwise I don't know how Leilei would have gotten through lunch!
Thank you, Mu Shaowu, thank you, Xiao Xi, I will remember your great kindness!
【He Yao, these are eggs Xiao Xi gave to Lei Lei. Remember them! Both are for Lei Lei! Don't be shameless and take one for yourself!】
Can He Yao fry an egg?
[He probably can, it's so simple, how could he not know how?]
I now have a lot of doubts about him!
【Me too! 】
He Yao:......
He Yao watched as Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi spoke only to He Lei the whole time, ignoring him completely, and even handed the eggs directly to He Lei.
What's the big deal? Can't they see him, who's so big?
He even asked for fried eggs! Did he say he wanted to fry eggs? Why should he be allowed to fry eggs?
He Yao practically wanted to throw the two eggs in He Lei's hand away.
Seriously, why does this show even have Mu Shaowu?!
After distributing the snacks, everyone went home.
Because of their previous agreement to partner with Mu Shaowu, Tao Tao and Tao Rui did not return to their dilapidated wooden and thatched hut, but instead went to Ye Qingxi's luxurious mansion.
Tao Rui offered, "Teacher Mu, let me help you. I can manage washing vegetables."
Mu Shaowu did not refuse.
The two fathers were busy in the kitchen, while the two children sat in the living room eating potato chips, drinking yogurt, and watching TV.
Tao Tao sighed, "I feel like the last time I was like this was a lifetime ago~"
Ye Qingxi burst into laughter, "Then watch a little longer~"
"Mmm-hmm." Tao Tao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
When Tao Rui came out of the kitchen with the dishes, she saw her son leaning on the sofa, looking like he was enjoying himself so much that he didn't want to leave.
Tao Rui: "Taozi, you should still remember that we're going back to take a nap after lunch, right?"
Tao Tao: !!!
What do you mean, go back?!
What afternoon nap?!
Couldn't he stay with Ye Qingxi forever?!
Ye Qingxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the sudden look of terror on his face.
The live stream room was immediately filled with cheerful laughter.
[Hahaha, Tao Tao's dream is shattered.]
[Calculate the area of Tao Tao's psychological trauma.]
Tao Tao: Am I not actually a child of this family?
[Tao Tao: Shut up! Listen to what horrible things you're saying!!!]
It must be said that Ye Qingxi's life in Lijia Gou is indeed happy.
Our Xiaoxi is so well-behaved, sweet, and kind; she deserves to be so happy.
That's right ^_^
