Chapter 089: The Ducklings

Xie Luoshu: “…” He really didn’t notice it.

Fortunately, the program crew found Wen Mingyuan quickly. He was actually right there, but was blocked and got dizzy from wandering back and forth.

"Hey, Xiao Xie, are you guys going fishing?" Bai Xueling asked.

"Yanyan caught them," Xie Luoshu said. "We arrived early and walked around the village. Some children were very enthusiastic and took Yanyan to catch fish and snails."

Yanyan showed her little bamboo basket to everyone: "Lele gave it to me."

"Who is Lele?" This is Lulu's point.

"It's a friend." Yanyan thought for a moment, "helping Zaizai catch snails."

[It’s kind of funny that my family can get lost in the village!]

[If he had asked for directions properly he wouldn't have gotten lost!]

[Is it that the villagers are ignoring Brother Yuan? Our Brother Yuan has asked this question several times.]

[I often wonder if these people are actually fans of Wen Mingyuan. They just ruin Wen Mingyuan's popularity.]

[There is no need to ruin it now, because I have no popularity anymore! (狗头.jpg)]

[Of course it is. Birds of a feather are all alike.]

[Is Lulu jealous?]

[Kids... It's okay, Lulu. Next time, ask your uncle to come earlier, so you can stay with Yanyan and other kids won't be able to take advantage of you!]

[Sneak in while the opportunity is open? Huh?]

[Choose in the order of going to the village chief's house, then isn't Brother Xie the first one?]

[Yes, yes, Yanyan is lucky, she should choose Lele’s home! Lele is so fun!]

[Ah? Xie Ge is the last one?]

[Um... I have an idea but I am speechless.]

[Did the program team change the plan again?]

[No...I don't understand.]

"Because this order is based on the order in which I met everyone after arriving at the village chief's house. Fang Fang had already arrived when I arrived, so Fang Fang was first, followed by Lili, Xia Xia and Lu Lu, and finally Yan Yan." Director Zhu said in his speech.

Director Zhu was holding a few cards with pictures of chicks, ducks, fish, pigs and rabbits on them.

"Please choose one in order."

Lili's eyes lit up: "Mom, I want a little rabbit!"

Fang Fang didn't know which one to choose, so she turned around and looked at Wen Mingyuan: "Brother?"

Wen Mingyuan was a little dazed now. Although it was nothing serious, his feet were sore after walking for a long time. In addition, some of the paths in the village were bumpy and he fell several times. Fortunately, he only hit his knees and his pants were slightly torn.

He didn't have time to care about Fang Fang. He looked at his pants. He also heard that he was broadcasting live before, and his expression was seen by the audience. He was restless and thought about how to solve it: "Whatever you want."

[Hey, system, you knew it was live, right? Why didn't you tell me? ]

[You told me to shut up? What? You told me to shut up when I spoke, and then you questioned me when I didn't speak?]

【you!】

[What do you mean by "you"? I'm not the worm in your stomach, I don't know what you want to do? Anyway, you don't listen to me~ Go away, don't bother me! ]

The system is now happy to see Wen Mingyuan messing around here and there, but in the end, everything is a mess. If the host didn't follow the plot before, their system would also be punished.

It's different now, now he can't even get in touch. No other system cares if he's messing around, and he can't help the host anyway because of his behavior.

If he didn't complete the task, he would just get a small amount of money but no year-end bonus. Now he realizes that it's better to be idle. He can connect to the Internet and watch whatever he wants. Isn't this better than a year-end bonus?

Moreover, when there was no internet, he connected to Wen Mingyuan's hotspot and spent all of Wen Mingyuan's phone bills. It wasn't his money, so he didn't feel bad about using it. Wen Mingyuan was furious when he found out, but what could he do?

Even if he checked, he would find that the number using the data was Wen Mingyuan's. Wen Mingyuan couldn't do anything to him. He could still play as usual every day.

Uncle is so noisy. Yan Yan sighed in his heart. He didn't want to listen to his uncle yelling, but every time this uncle talked to the one called the system, he could hear it. And he had to listen. Humph, disgusting!

Fang Fang heard this, pointed at the piglet and said excitedly: "I want Peppa!"

The director team was very smart. The animals on the cards were all cartoon characters. The one with the piglet was the familiar pink hair dryer, Peppa Pig. Fang Fang really liked Peppa Pig and watched her every day at home!

[Sure enough, children are used to Peppa.]

[My kids are used to it, so I was confused. Why do they like to see a few pink hair dryers stepping in the mud?]

[I don’t understand either. I even watched it with my brother for a while, and then… he fell asleep while watching it.]

[How should I put it? You are a talent to be able to watch someone fall asleep.]

[What is the purpose of this pattern? Is it possible?]

[It can’t be what I thought. Then Wen Mingyuan will definitely scold Fang Fang.]

[Huh? What? Did you guys change the topic so quickly?]

Lili finally chose the little rabbit she had always dreamed of. How cute is the little rabbit!

Xia Xia was also very confused, but Liu Ruotong noticed something: "Xia Xia, let's choose small fish."

"Sure." Xia Xia didn't have any objection. These animals looked pretty much the same to him. What he wanted was Ultraman!

"Yanyan, which one do you want?" Lulu asked.

Zou Jiayan: “?” Why are the procedures different? Shouldn’t you ask my uncle first?

"Duck." Lele said before that he had a duck at home, so Zizi thought that Duck should be Lele's home.

"Okay, then I'll choose the chicken." Lulu nodded.

[Save... Lulu, don't love me too much!]

[Yan Yan chose the duck, that's very likely!]

[What the hell is this? What kind of a riddle are you telling? Tell me! You riddle tellers!]

[It is very likely that the family that corresponds to the small animal you choose will raise that animal.]

[Ah? Then Wen Mingyuan would be... so funny! I'm already looking forward to Wen Mingyuan's expression when he arrives!]

[Lili’s rabbit also…]

[What’s wrong with rabbits? Rabbits are not only cute, but also delicious!]

[That’s because you’ve never raised a rabbit! Rabbits are… I don’t know how you raise them, but the ones I raise always run around and eat other people’s plants in their yards. They don’t eat anything I worked so hard to prepare!]

[Hahaha!]

[I have raised and killed quite a few rabbits... Rabbits are pretty delicate. They have certain requirements for temperature, food, water, etc., and they also have to be in a good mood. Rabbits are small and easily frightened.]

[Then I’ll just eat it in the future hahaha!]

[Brother Liu must have guessed it, so he let Xia Xia choose the fish. It’s also good to estimate what kind of fish pond it will be in by then.]

[Chicken and duck are also good. They just have that flavor.]

The program team gave each family a map: "The locations of all the houses are marked on the map. The villagers have prepared dinner for everyone! Everyone can go out! We will also gather here tomorrow morning!"

It was almost time for dinner, and the kids were hungry. Besides, dinner was already prepared, so we couldn't let them wait for us, right? We packed our bags and set off immediately.

Sure enough, when Xie Luoshu and Yanyan arrived, Lele was already waiting at the door. Lele's house was a brick and tile house. Not far away, a clear river meandered by, and the water surface was sparkling. It was the river where Yanyan and them had fished before. Lele supported a white-haired old man and stood at the door, looking forward.

"Yan Yan!" Seeing Yan Yan, Lele waved excitedly.

"Are you here?" Lele's grandmother called out, "Come in quickly, wash your hands and eat first."

"Thank you, grandma." Lele was too enthusiastic and rushed to drag the luggage. Xie Luoshu waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, Lele, it's too heavy, uncle can carry it."

"Then I'll help Yanyan." Lele couldn't stop.

After putting the luggage in the room, we washed our hands and had dinner. In the evening, Lele's grandmother made fish soup, braised pork, stir-fried snails, stir-fried carrots and steamed corn.

It can be said that this meal was very sumptuous.

Xie Luoshu sat down and said, "That's a lot. Grandma Lele has worked hard."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yanyan sniffed it, it smelled so good!

"Oh, there are not many dishes." Grandma Lele was very happy as it was a rare opportunity for several people to have a meal together.

Her children work away from home all year round and sometimes don't come home for Chinese New Year. She and Lele are the only ones eating at home, so she inevitably feels lonely.

Not to mention that Yanyan is such a well-behaved child, and the adults are also good. Helping her serve the dishes, the bowls and chopsticks, and helping her to serve the rice! The more I see, the more I like her. This little boy of mine is sensible, but he is naughty!

Today, Lele's grandma uses the fish that Lele caught to make fish soup. The soup is milky white and full of freshness. The flavor is so strong that it can't be dissolved. Tofu is added in. The pores of the tofu absorb the richness of the fish soup. When you bite it lightly, the juice overflows, and the freshness of the fish and the fragrance of the bean blend together. It tastes better than fish.

Suck the stir-fried snail gently, and the spicy juice rushes in your mouth like a cheerful stream. The snail meat is firm and chewy. The more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes, making you want to stop. Take a sip of ice-cold Coke, and bubbles will burst out in your mouth instantly, stimulating your taste buds. The sweetness of Coke and the spiciness of the snails blend together, which can not only relieve the heat of the snails, but also bring a different kind of refreshing feeling to your mouth.

Lele prepared the cola. But children can't eat too much snails and cola. Lele's grandmother knew that, so she prepared a small plate for them to eat two to taste, but they only drank a few sips of cola.

[Is this combination really safe for children’s stomachs?]

[Lele might be okay. He said he's eaten it a few times before. But Yanyan is not sure.]

[Yan Yan just ate two snails and drank a sip of Coke, so it shouldn't be a problem.]

[Don’t think that children are too fragile. I think if you can let children eat, you should let them eat a few bites. When I was a child, they said I couldn’t eat it because I was too young. When I got older, they said it was dirty and I couldn’t eat it. When I started working, they said I couldn’t eat it because I didn’t have money. When I got old, they said I couldn’t eat it because I had a bad stomach.]

[Dl, eat it, at worst you can go to the hospital! Otherwise, you will never be able to eat some things in your life. Just eat less, you have to taste it anyway, right?]

[Yeah, I’ve grown up but I’ve never eaten snails…]

After dinner, Xie Luoshu was about to wash the dishes, but Lele's grandmother stopped him: "Oh, how can you let the guests wash the dishes?"

"It's okay, Grandma Lele, just a few bowls." Xie Luoshu said.

"No, you're a guest." Lele's grandmother still refused to let him go. "You haven't packed your luggage yet? Go and pack your luggage. It's just a few dishes. Can't I wash them?"

Xie Luoshu had no choice but to let Lele's grandmother come: "Okay, then I'll go pack the luggage."
