Chapter 72: A Couple Raising a Baby

[Did I forget it? Why didn’t I see Xie Ge asking Gu Zong to cook?]

[Me too, did I miss it? (touching chin)]

[I just didn’t say it, I followed Xie Ge’s live broadcast room all day today!!! I understand! Hehe~]

[! I understand too! Mr. Gu, please don’t love me too much!]

[Ah? No, what did you understand? Tell me! Quick! If you don’t tell me, I will fight with you all!]

[It was Xie who didn’t tell Mr. Gu. He forgot about it, and then Mr. Gu took the responsibility. It’s hard to tell. Children should talk about love more.]

[Woo woo woo (single dog crying)]

"Wow! So rich!" Zou Jiayan's mouth was watering at the sight.

The takeaway rice has also arrived, a big bag full of it. You don’t need to bring a bowl, you can just eat from the takeaway box and you don’t have to wash a few more bowls.

"Yanyan, this is delicious." After the meal started, the first thing Lulu did was to add more food to Yanyan. Although he couldn't tell which one he caught, it didn't matter, as long as he had his share.

"Thank you, Brother Lulu~" Yanyan stretched out his spoon to take it. Yanyan can use chopsticks now but he is not very experienced, so the spoon is more convenient.

Seeing Lulu get there first, Lili said, "Brother, this is delicious too."

"This rice cake is also delicious! It's so sticky."

"Eat quickly, Yanyan."

"Eat, eat, eat~" Yanyan treated everyone equally, accepting all the food and eating them one by one in order.

"Oh my." Bai Xueling said a little sourly, "No one helps mom pick up food."

"Mom, eat this, you like it." Lili reacted quickly and picked up a crab that Bai Xueling loved the most.

"Thank you, my precious daughter." Bai Xueling immediately smiled happily, and then ate the crabs happily under the envious eyes of other parents.

"Lulu. Uncle wants to eat braised fish." Zou Jiayan said.

Lulu understood what he meant and took a piece of fish meat and gave it to Zou Jiayan: "Uncle, eat it."

Yanyan didn't show favoritism and picked up some food for both dad and little dad. Now, the kids can eat in peace~

This was the first time Yanyan picked up food for Gu Yejin. Although Gu Yejin didn't show it on his face, he was happy in his heart. Just as he was eating the octopus, a few shelled razor clams appeared in his bowl.

"Thank you Fangfang." Gu Yejin didn't expect Fangfang to pick up food for him. In the previous live broadcast, Fangfang looked like a naughty child. However, after spending the past two days together, Gu Yejin found that Fangfang was actually a good child.

They are raised in a wealthy family and are well-mannered. Although the price is a bit high and a bit exaggerated, it is still within the normal range. It is nothing more than a few things for children's food, accommodation and transportation.

Fang Fang went to bed early and got up early these past two days, and greeted him every day. This morning, she took the initiative to exercise with him, and he didn't have to worry about her washing, bathing, and dressing. But when she went to bed, she had to take her own quilt or she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Fang Fang was a little shy: "You're welcome..."

He likes this uncle more than his brother. His brother is really annoying. He didn't give him any good food when he came to participate in the variety show and made him pack his luggage by himself. He wanted his brother to help, but his brother ignored him. There were cameras and people all around.

And he hadn't even taken his quilt with him! He also heard his brother say he didn't like him. Humph! He didn't like his brother either!

"Ahem." Liu Ruotong coughed twice to remind Xia Xia.

Xia Xia frowned: "Dad, the teacher said that when you cough while eating, you should cough outside, otherwise the bacteria will get into the food. Do you think the octopus is delicious and want to make it your own?"

Liu Ruotong: “…” We can’t keep this unlucky child anymore!

[The cubs are so sweet!]

[Yan Yan: The new generation of the master of keeping things balanced!]

[Yan Yan’s son: Eat them all! Eat them all!]

[Fang Fang! Oh my god!]

[Fang Fang is not really a naughty child. She was also the one who planned the incident before. Look at this episode. Except for the time when she was pinched by a crab, Fang Fang never cried. She was laughing happily.]

[Xia Xia, I knew you wouldn't follow the beaten path!]

[That’s great, Xia Xia! You didn’t disappoint me! Look at Brother Liu’s expression, hahaha!]

After dinner, I walked slowly to the clothing store to digest the food. Most of the volunteers who participated in the garbage collection activity at the beach today were locals. I met familiar people along the way and greeted each other. It was very lively.

The clothing store provides one-stop service. Not only can you rent clothes, but you can also help with makeup and styling for free. Moreover, the store staff are very good at aesthetics. They make up according to each person's characteristics, combining today's clothes with traditional elements of the Moon Festival. Even if a boy wears heavy makeup, it doesn't look strange.

Except for Lili who insisted on wearing makeup, the others just put on a layer of sunscreen and some decorations on their faces.

The Lingyue Festival is indeed the largest festival in S City. The beach is already full of people before the event starts. Fortunately, they came early and got a good spot. They can clearly see the central area.

A bonfire was set up in the center of the area, and priests dressed in solemn festival costumes appeared. As the bell rang to signal the start of the Moon Listening Festival, traditional dances, folk music performances, folk songs and ancient music... were a feast for the eyes.

"Wow!" Not to mention the kids, even the adults rarely see these things and they screamed in amazement when they saw them.

After the performance, everyone stood up and faced the bonfire. The priest led his disciples to recite scriptures. The local language was obscure and difficult for outsiders to understand, but it did not prevent everyone from understanding the feelings, praying to the heavens, and listening to the will of God.

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a long time but also like only a moment. The crowd began to surge.

"What is this for?"

"Outsiders, I guess." The locals in front of them explained, "The Moon Listening Ceremony has ended, and the high priest has received the grace of the Moon God. Now he is sharing the Moon God's grace with everyone."

"That's what the driver said... if two married people are blessed together during the Moon-Listening Festival, they will be together for the rest of their lives?" Bai Xueling said.

"Yes." The eldest sister said with a smile, "You are all married at your age, right? This is your child, right?"

"No, no." Zou Jiayan waved his hands and pulled Lulu, "This is my nephew. We are recording a show."

Bai Xueling sighed: "Yeah, what a pity, I must come here with my husband next year."

"Yes." Liu Ruotong nodded. The atmosphere on the scene was really great. "By the way, Xiao Xie and Mr. Gu, can you guys just stay here? Go quickly."

"You two are a couple."

"Yes~" Yanyan nodded and introduced, "Dad, little dad and cub."

"No, no." Xie Luoshu evaded. He had been thinking about divorcing Gu Yejin before. "I'll take care of Yanyan."

"What's the big deal?" The eldest sister urged, "A family of three is even better. The Moon Goddess loves children, and she will be more gracious to children. Go quickly, go quickly."

"Then let's go." Gu Yejin took Yan Yan and Xie Luoshu, who was about to refuse, and walked them into the line.

Xie Luoshu whispered: "Gu...Ajin, we..."

Gu Yejin put his arm around Xie Luoshu's waist and said, "Don't bump into anyone because there are so many people around. Does Yanyan want to be held?"

"Yes!" Yanyan nodded. There were adults all around him, and as a child he couldn't see anything.

Seeing Yanyan, Xie Luoshu pursed his lips and decided to go back to Gu Yejin in the evening to have a good chat.

"You're not married yet, are you?"

"Yes." Zou Jiayan nodded, "I'm single and have never been in a relationship."

"Oh, that's great." The elder sister said familiarly, "What kind of girls do you like, young man? I'm not exaggerating, but all the girls here are pretty."

"Ah, I..." This was the first time Zou Jiayan had encountered such a thing. "I don't plan to fall in love right now. My career is more important."

"Okay." The eldest sister clapped her hands. "It's good to focus on your career, but you also have to take care of your family. Let's see. It's not necessary to talk about it, right? Sister, this..."

Zou Jiayan asked for help to raise Bai Xueling and Liu Rutong. Bai Xueling took action in time.

"Why don't you take a look at the photos..."

"Big sister." Bai Xueling pulled Zou Jiayan over and said, "We have other things to do here. The program team just gave us a task."

"Really?"

"Yes." Bai Xueling nodded, "Then we'll go first."

"Okay." The eldest sister also knew the current situation. "If the young man is free and wants to date a local girl, he can come to me. Our local girls are all the best."

Zou Jiayan: "...OK"

[Zou Jiayan: No! Not married and not in love!]

[I laughed my ass off, hahaha! I knew it, a matchmaker.]

[Xie Ge and Gu Zong have left the team again.]

[There is no way, they are a couple.]

[Just now I seemed to hear Brother Xie calling Mr. Gu "Ajin"? Did I hear it wrong? Very quietly.]

[! I heard the sisters too! I thought I was hallucinating too!]

[oi~（Little yellow chicken screaming.jpg）]

[So sweet, Ah Shu~Ah Jin~I bought it!]

It was boring to queue up, and people around me started chatting: "Are you a couple bringing your kids to play together?"

Gu Yejin started chatting with them: "Yes."

"Is this your child?" someone said without thinking, "Your own child."

"Yeah." Gu Yejin's expression did not change. "My biological child, is there a problem?"

“No…no.”

"No wonder," a passerby said, "The adults are good-looking, and the children are good-looking too."

"Thank you."

"Yeah." Yanyan was not modest, "The cub is pretty."

"Where are you from?"

"City B."

"Oh, City B is a great place..."

The so-called grace was that the high priest and the disciples sang a blessing and then sprinkled water on their heads. The eldest sister was right. For the children, they not only sprinkled water, but also used a cinnabar-like pigment to put a small red dot on Yanyan's forehead.

After clicking the red dot, Yanyan held up her phone and turned on the selfie mode, looking left and right at her face: "Is my baby good-looking?"

"It looks good." Xie Luoshu was telling the truth. The cute little baby had a red dot on his forehead. If he changed his clothes, he would look like a New Year picture doll.

After the Moon Listening Ceremony, there was a fireworks show. Zou Jiayan and his group brought snacks and found a great spot to watch the show.

"Sorry for the wait."

"Nothing." After walking on the beach, the group saw several people confessing their love. They had just bought some snacks and arrived not long ago. "Yesterday, I saw Yanyan liked it, so I bought some more."

"Meatballs." Yanyan fell in love with the octopus balls at the first bite.

"Are you hungry again, baby?" Secretary Xie Luo remembered that Yan Yan ate a lot in the evening.

"I'm not hungry, I want to eat~" The baby is not hungry, the baby just has a gluttonous mouth.

Xie Luoshu touched Yanyan's belly and said, "Then you can only eat one."

"Okay." Yanyan nodded and stretched out her finger, "Just eat one, baby."
