Chapter 208 (Second Update, with Comments)
208:
Ye Qingxi and Tao Tao returned home hand in hand.
Huo Zinan stared at their clasped hands, wishing he could tear Tao Tao's chubby hand off and replace it with his own.
Unfortunately, he and Ye Qingxi were not going in the same direction, so Huo Zinan could only glare at her resentfully before reluctantly walking home with Yang Shu.
Mu Shaowu and the other fathers naturally returned home before the baby.
Ye Qingxi pushed open the door, and Mu Shaowu saw him holding a flashlight and a slingshot.
"Why did you choose a slingshot?" Mu Shaowu asked him.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi asked in confusion, "How did you know that I 'picked' the slingshot?"
"Of course it's because the dads' job is to watch you go treasure hunting~" Mu Shaowu didn't hide it from him.
[This is way too honest!] Viewers in the live stream exclaimed in shock: [Is this something you can just say?]
"It should be fine, otherwise Mu Shaowu wouldn't have said it so casually."
Actually, it's better to say it directly like this, otherwise the kids will definitely find out when the show airs.
That's true.
Ye Qingxi laughed. He knew it.
“I already have all the others at home, and I haven’t played with this much, so I took this one,” Ye Qingxi said.
That's true. Slingshots are too old-fashioned and cheap for the Mu family, so when buying toys, Mu Shaowu, Mu Shaoyan, Mu Zheng, and Mu Shaoting all unconsciously overlooked them.
As a result, Ye Qingxi had never really played with a slingshot.
"I see," Mu Shaowu said. "Then you play with it first. If you like it, Dad will buy it for you later."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded with a smile.
The father and son took showers one after the other and went into their room, after which the cameraman left.
In the dead of night, Huo Zinan lay in bed, tossing and turning.
Because the house was small and only had one bedroom, they had to sleep in the same bed, but they were very strict about boundaries. Hu Kai, who was sleeping on the side of the bed, heard him making noise and asked, "What's wrong, Nan Nan? Do you need to go to the toilet?"
"no."
"What happened?" Hu Kai asked with concern.
Huo Zinan: ...
Huo Zinan remained silent for a long time, until Hu Kai thought he wasn't going to speak, before finally saying, "Could you talk to Uncle Mu tomorrow and tell him that we'll be having meals with him from now on?"
Hu Kai: ? ? ?
Hu Kai: ...
Huo Zinan: "Why can Tao Tao eat with him, but we can't?"
Hu Kai: ...Is it possible that Tao Tao's family has already eaten with your Uncle Mu, which is why we can't?
You can't just keep targeting the fattest sheep!
Uncle Mu is here to spend quality time with the children, not to cook for us.
"I...I'll definitely practice my cooking skills when I get back this time, and I promise you'll eat better next time we record than you did today," Hu Kai said quickly.
Is this about cooking skills? Huo Zinan thought to himself, compared to Tao Tao, he should be Ye Qingxi's best friend!
If they don't eat together, how can he compare to Tao Tao?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Hu Kai could only coax him, "Go to sleep, we have to go to the market tomorrow morning."
Huo Zinan: ...
Huo Zinan closed his eyes in frustration, dreaming of Tao Tao and Ye Qingxi holding hands.
The next morning, Mu Shaowu received a task card from the program team, which asked the father and baby to go to the market to sell fruit.
Ye Qingxi: As expected, the dads are going too.
He quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and Mu Shaowu helped him carry his small basket on his back. They left home together.
This time, the production crew provided a special car to take them there.
Ye Qingxi got into the car and sat in the middle row.
He leaned against the window, wanting to see the scenery along the road, while Mu Shaowu sat next to him and talked to him.
This was the scene Huo Zinan saw as soon as he got into the car.
"That's fine," Huo Zinan thought. "Since Mu Shaowu has taken the only spot next to Ye Qingxi, Tao Tao can't sit next to her anymore."
He pretended not to care as he passed by Ye Qingxi's row, and then casually sat down in the row behind him by the window.
Live stream viewers: ...
He doesn't think others won't notice, does he?
[Hahaha, definitely!]
【Nannan, you're so arrogant!】
[Nannan really likes Xiaoxi.]
[Go Nannan! Mom supports you becoming friends with Xiaoxi!]
As soon as Tao Tao got into the car and saw Ye Qingxi, he couldn't help but call out to her, "Xiao Xi."
Ye Qingxi turned around and waved to him.
Tao Tao walked to the front row, but instead of sitting down, he turned around and knelt on the chair, facing Ye Qingxi and started talking to him.
Huo Zinan: !!!
This works too!
Huo Zinan was speechless. What a cunning little fat boy!
Once Yang Shu and Yang Jin, the last group, boarded the car, everyone was present. The driver then set off, taking everyone to the town's market.
Ye Qingxi looked at the scenery outside the window, and as she looked, her head gradually drooped down.
He leaned to the side and rested against Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu simply moved out a seat so that he could lie on his lap.
Ye Qingxi vaguely sensed his movements, opened her eyes, unconsciously reached out and hugged him, then closed her eyes again and continued to sleep soundly.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu felt as if his son had become dependent on him.
He couldn't help but hug Ye Qingxi, protecting him and letting him sleep peacefully.
When Ye Qingxi woke up again, they had already arrived at the market.
Mu Shaowu carried his basket and got off the bus with him.
The production crew led them into the market and to the stalls that the production crew had already paid to rent.
"Next, dads and babies, please sell the fruit you picked yesterday. Whoever makes the most money is number one. Of course, dads and babies can also use the money they earn to buy whatever they like at the market. Do you all understand?"
"We understand," the children said in unison.
"Well then, I wish all you small business owners great success in your businesses!" After saying that, the host walked out of the camera's view.
Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu walked to their stall, took out fruit, and placed it on the stall cloth that the staff had already laid out.
"How should I sell this?" Mu Shaowu wondered, "I don't even know the price range!"
As he was pondering what price to set, Ye Qingxi opened her mouth and called out crisply, "Fruit for sale! Grapes! Apples! Pears! Melons! Big sale!"
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Other dads and babies: !!
Viewers in the live stream: !!!
Good heavens, Xiao Xi has already started hawking her wares!
【Our Xiaoxi isn't scared at all!】
Wow, that's amazing! I definitely wouldn't be able to open my mouth.
Hey, kids won't think as much as adults.
【Well done, Xiaoxi! I love this kind of unpretentious kid!】
[Nan Nan: I got scolded.]
Hearing his childish voice, Mu Shaowu quickly covered his mouth.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi blinked, somewhat puzzled. What was wrong?
"I'll shout, but you shouldn't. Your voice isn't for this."
After saying that, Mu Shaowu shouted, "Fruit for sale! Grapes! Apples! Pears! Melons! Big sale!"
[Hahaha, I knew it! He covered Xiaoxi's mouth, turns out he was going to scream!]
[And the words weren't even changed, they were all written by our little Xi baby [pointing and pointing.jpg]]
[Mu Shaowu: Son, I'll take care of you. You rest.]
[I never expected Mu Shaowu to be so unconcerned about his image.]
[Of course! Has he forgotten he's a top star?!]
Seeing this, the other fathers also started shouting at the top of their lungs.
He Yao:......
He Yao didn't really want to shout; he had never done anything so degrading before.
But everyone else was shouting for the child, and if he didn't shout, the audience would definitely scold him, so He Yao opened his mouth and shouted, "Selling fruit! Selling fruit!"
However, as they shouted, the market vendors also shouted, and everyone's voices were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish who was who.
Mu Shaowu shouted for a while, then realized that this wouldn't work.
He borrowed a fruit-cutting knife from the guy at the next stall, cut a melon, and placed it at the front.
He then opened the wet wipes he carried with him, wiped an apple, and handed it to Ye Qingxi.
The apples here were crisp and sweet, and Ye Qingxi liked them quite a bit, so she didn't refuse and started eating them.
Mu Shaowu then made him eat while performing a mukbang (eating broadcast).
Ye Qingxi is beautiful and eats elegantly but with great relish. Before long, the viewers in the live stream were getting hungry.
It looks delicious.
I want to eat it too.
I'm going to wash an apple for myself now.
Soon, some children who were shopping at the market with their parents saw the apple in Ye Qingxi's hand and pointed at it, saying, "I want to eat it too."
Mu Shaowu quickly replied, "Would you like to buy some fruit? Our melons are delicious too, you can try some."
He handed over a piece of melon cut into crescent shapes.
The other person tried it and found it to be quite good.
How much does it cost?
Mu Shaowu had already inquired about the prices when he borrowed the knives, so he wasn't flustered and quoted prices one by one.
"Then I'll have two melons and a bunch of grapes."
"Okay." Mu Shaowu helped her pack it up, then borrowed the scale from the neighbor to weigh it, quoted the price, and handed it to the other party.
Ye Qingxi waited until the other party finished paying and left before saying to Mu Shaowu, "Dad, I can't eat anymore."
Mu Shaowu took it without hesitation and ate it without any disgust.
Live stream viewers: !!!
He even ate what Ye Qingxi left behind.
I thought he was just saying it casually.
[This is definitely a biological father; it's hard to imagine someone who isn't a biological father doing this.]
[That's why Xiaoxi praises his dad every day; his dad genuinely likes him too!]
Okay, okay, I love this kind of heartwarming father-son relationship.
As Mu Shaowu was eating, he heard someone ask him, "Are you... Mu Shaowu?"
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Mu Shaowu was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously refused, saying, "No."
Can we say "yes" to this?
If he says "yes," what if the girl is his fan and buys them all at once?
This is so unfair to other dads and babies.
"Then what is this camera?" the girl asked.
Mu Shaowu: "It's not that I look like Mu Shaowu and am trying to ride his coattails to film a short drama."
girl:? ? ?
Live stream viewers: ...
Mu Shaowu said seriously, "You can watch it when it airs. Our short drama production is very fast, and it will be broadcast very soon."
girl:……
Live stream viewer: [That's enough!]
[Hahaha, who are you trying to make laugh to death, Mu Shaowu!]
How come I never noticed how funny he was before!
[Hilarious, he admitted to riding on his own coattails [facepalm]]
[They've convinced the girl so much that she doesn't know whether to believe them or not.]
Ye Qingxi almost burst out laughing when she saw her father seriously trying to fool others.
The girl nodded. "Okay, so this is...?"
She pointed at Ye Qingxi, "The young actress you were acting with?"
Ye Qingxi nodded quickly, "I'll play his son."
"You're so good-looking!" the girl exclaimed. "You really do look like his son."
Ye Qingxi said happily, "Thank you."
"So, are you selling this fruit or not?"
“This is available for sale,” Mu Shaowu said.
"Then I'll take them all," the girl said generously.
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Mu Shaowu advised her, "There's so much."
"This is nothing. There are many people in my family, and we finish it all in one day."
Mu Shaowu: ...
"Didn't you say I could buy it? Keep pretending. Or is it that I can't buy this much?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu silently looked at the host, but the host didn't say anything.
So... that means it's okay?
So Mu Shaowu opened the plastic bag, put the fruit in one by one, and then went to the man next door to weigh it, and gave him a discount.
"It's quite cheap," the girl said with a smile. "Are you coming to take pictures again tomorrow? I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat."
"No, thank you," Mu Shaowu replied. "We'll film in a different location tomorrow."
"Alright then," the girl smiled. "I wish you a speedy release of your short drama!"
"And you," she said, looking at Ye Qingxi, "I hope you grow up to be as handsome as your father!"
"Thank you." Ye Qingxi smiled.
Mu Shaowu watched the other person walk away, then went to the man at the next stall and gave him ten yuan as payment for lending him the scales and for finding out the price from him.
The older brother readily agreed, saying, "No need, no need."
"It's nothing," Mu Shaowu said with a smile. "We might come back to film in a few days, and I'll need to borrow something from you again."
Only then did the elder brother accept it.
Ye Qingxi looked at her empty stall. So, it's sold out already?
They sold out way too fast!
Ye Qingxi looked again in the direction where the girl, whose figure was now almost out of sight, had left.
Did she really believe what her father had just said?
Or are they just acting, like everyone else?
I hope everything goes well for her in the future.
