Chapter 88: Zizi doesn't like ginger soup

"Snail is delicious." Before Xie Luoshu could say anything, Lele spoke up, "My grandma made stir-fried snails. One bite at a time, paired with Coke, it's absolutely delicious!"

Coke? What good stuff is this that the kid hasn’t heard of?

"Come to my house this afternoon and let my grandma feed you." Lele suggested.

"Okay~" Yanyan agreed without saying a word.

"Baby, we are going to record the show this afternoon." Xie Luoshu said.

ah……

"Is it that variety show?" Lele remembered, "Our house is also in it."

Xie Luoshu was stunned: "Le Le's family is..."

Lele: "The village chief said before that the celebrities who are recording the show will live in our village. So they selected the five most suitable families. Our family was chosen."

Isn't this a coincidence?

"What a coincidence." Xie Luoshu was very surprised. He had a good impression of Lele. Lele was polite and capable, so he thought the adults who came to his house would be good too. "But, we may not be able to choose Lele's house."

"Ah..." Lele was also a little disappointed, "I was feeding the ducklings with my brother."

"Duck?"

"Yes." Lele nodded, "Our ducklings are so fluffy and so comfortable to touch!"

While they were talking, the other kids had already caught a lot of snails: "Yanyan, Lele! If you don't come soon, we will catch all the snails!"

Lele was aroused: "Yanyan, hurry up! Let's catch them! They will be gone soon."

[LeLe is awesome hahaha! ]

[Big dad, middle dad, and little dad? I really laughed! My family members were so amused.]

[So what is the truth?]

[I don’t know. Some people say Yanyan is the child of Mr. Gu’s sister. Some people say Yanyan was adopted by Mr. Gu? I am confused!]

[I am confused too...oi!]

[Stop messing around! Gu Group has issued a statement! Show it to me now!]

[He is really the son of Mr. Gu’s sister! But he was adopted by Mr. Gu? Is this okay?]

[It seems... yes, it's OK?]

[So Mr. Gu has to call a man who loves someone one year younger than him his brother-in-law? (Mistake in emphasis)]

[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]

[Boss Gu’s sister is also awesome! I’m so cute! Sister is so cool!]

[Yanyan is only three years old. Can he really understand all this mess?]

[Looking at Yanyan’s expression, I guess even if she doesn’t tell me everything, she understands a little bit.]

[Touch Yan Yan cub.]

[By the way, what was Xie Luoshu doing before? I was paying attention to Zaizai. I didn’t see him.]

[We went shopping. There was a small shop nearby. Xie Luoshu bought a lot of towels and baby warmers.]

[I even ran to the grandmother's house next door to ask if she could make me some ginger soup. Is this a human?! I would never dare to do that.]

After the children finished playing, Xie Luoshu gave each of them a small towel and two hand warmers: "Wipe your feet dry before putting on socks, and put on the hand warmers to keep them warm."

Yanyan sat on the ground with a few other kids without caring whether it was dirty or not. A grandmother nearby brought them ginger soup: "I knew you guys are naughty. Drink it quickly or you might catch a cold."

Several children sat in a row and drank ginger soup.

"It's okay, Grandma Zheng."

"I'm in good health. I won't catch a cold."

“We were fine before.”

"Yes, yes..."

The children were stubborn and just stuck to the baby warmers. Grandma Zheng laughed and said, "I was just saying that. Didn't several of them get sick last year? It's the same every year. Don't learn your lesson? Don't give other children colds."

Several children responded.

"Yan Yan, drink quickly!"

"Yan Yan! Drink more!"

"Yan Yan, drink mine too! Don't get sick!"

Yanyan: ???

Yanyan held the bowl of ginger soup in his hands, his eyes full of curiosity and innocence. He first moved closer to the edge of the bowl, sniffed it gently, and his eyebrows instantly wrinkled into a small pimple, and his little mouth pouted unconsciously.

After hesitating for a long time, Yanyan took a small sip. In an instant, his face quickly turned red like a small stove, and his eyes widened. His expression was as if he had encountered a great shock. He stuck out his tongue and tried to dispel the strong spiciness. Spicy! Zizi doesn't like it!

"Baby, drink it up." Ginger soup is spicy, and it is not easy for children to accept it. Moreover, children's intestines and stomachs are more delicate, and drinking too much ginger soup may irritate the intestines and stomachs and cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so I only used a disposable cup to pour some, not much.

The child didn't have a cold, he just took precautions to warm himself up. Yanyan closed his eyes and drank the whole thing in one gulp.

After all the hard work, the kids were a little tired. After drinking the ginger soup, they felt warm all over. They leaned back and lay on the lawn, their limbs spread out casually.

The autumn sunshine shines down softly, bringing with it a hint of warmth, like a soft golden veil, draped over their small bodies.

The breeze blew gently, and the grass leaves rustled. Their chests rose and fell slightly, their eyes were either slightly closed or half-closed, looking at the blue sky, their thoughts seemed to follow the white clouds drifting by, drifting to a distant place, enjoying this moment of peace and comfort, and the fatigue of catching fish just now gradually dissipated in the warm sunshine and gentle breeze.

Yanyan followed them and lay down. The autumn wind had brought a little chill, but the children didn't seem to care. Their attention was all on the feet with the warmers on. The temperature of the warmers gradually increased, just like a pair of invisible little hands, gently caressing their feet, dispelling the cold and dampness that had invaded when catching fish. Their calves swayed slightly in comfort.

The weather was warm, the sun was shining, and they were tired from playing. Soon, the children all fell asleep.

"It's easy to catch a cold if you sleep here." Xie Luoshu and Grandma Zheng packed up their things together.

"Don't worry." Grandma Zheng smiled, "The child is very tough. He has a hot temper, but after drinking ginger soup and using a baby warmer, he won't catch a cold easily. Just wake him up before the sun goes down."

"Well, thanks, grandma."

Xie Luoshu sat on a big rock, propping his chin with one hand. He looked at the children lying on the ground. He looked around the surrounding scenery. The live broadcast room also changed the camera, and with the aerial camera, the whole village was in sight.

The air around me was exceptionally fresh, as if it had been washed by nature's purest water. In the fields, the rice ears had turned golden, swaying gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds. Not far away, a stream was gurgling, and the crisp sound of water was jumping on every round stone.

The weather was warm in the autumn sunshine. The azure sky was like a clear gemstone, without a trace of impurities, vast and high. The white clouds floated leisurely, changing into various wonderful shapes. Around the lawn were patches of tilled land, and the soil exuded a moist and mellow scent.

Not far away, wisps of smoke rise from the chimney of the farmhouse. That's the farmers busy preparing meals for their families. The faint smoke from the burning firewood, with its simple scent, slowly blends into the clear sky.

In the farmhouse, hens clucked; in the pigpen, piglets grunted. There were also the cries of cattle and sheep. Occasionally, a few dogs barked, and the sound echoed in the empty fields. There were also the rhythmic clinking of farm tools in the hands of the busy farmers, blending with their hearty laughter. These sounds came one after another.

[It's so warm... I feel so comfortable.]

[It’s so beautiful here! The water and the sky are absolutely stunning.]

[I can only say that I have never seen such a beautiful sky except in school! Maybe it’s because I don’t have the energy to look at the sky after work.]

[It looks so comfortable. I can really do nothing all day long and just lie there!]

[It was still comfortable when I was a kid! I ate, drank, played, and had fun every day. I didn’t have to worry about money.]

[I can’t even imagine how beautiful the sky would be at night!]

[There are so many stars in the countryside at night. The sky is full of stars, too many to count! I am not exaggerating! It’s true!]

[Of course, it's not like in the city where it's as bright at night as it is during the day.]

[Looking at it this way, it really feels like going to the countryside! It feels like it would be fun! Picking corn, catching fish, feeding chickens and pigs...]

[The real speedster is almost there, hahaha! I originally planned to go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year, but suddenly I wanted to go back so I asked for a leave and set off without stopping.]

[Enough! Shut up! (lemon.jpg)]

[Ah? You still have time off to take...]

[It was so funny, my mom even asked me if I lost my job, otherwise why would I come to the countryside at such a low hour, hahaha!]

Xie Luoshu watched the time and when he felt the temperature was dropping a little, he woke up the children.

When the time came, they went home. Xie Luoshu also took Yanyan to the guesthouse.

In the evening, the setting sun casts a warm yellow veil over the village. Smoke rises from the chimneys of each household. In the kitchen, pots and pans begin to play a cheerful prelude. The kitchen knife rises and falls rhythmically on the chopping board, cutting fresh vegetables with a "dong dong dong" sound; the spatula collides with the iron pot, stir-frying the dishes with a "clack clack" sound, accompanied by the sizzling sound of oil, and the fragrance gradually spreads. The firewood crackles in the stove, and the sparks jump happily.

The rich aroma of rice, sweet and slightly burnt. The pork belly, cabbage and potatoes are stewed together until soft and rotten, and the aroma of meat is overflowing. The aroma of fried fish rushes straight into your nose. Many aromas diffuse and gather in the air, filling the sky above the entire village, making people drool. Yanyan closed his eyes, moved his nose, and sniffed left and right.

Xie Luoshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Yanyan's little nose: "Little greedy cat."

"Hehe~" Yanyan smiled shyly. Zizi caught fish and snails in the afternoon, so he was hungry~

By the time Xie Luoshu and Yanyan arrived, everyone had already arrived except Wen Mingyuan.

Xie Luoshu asked, "Fang Fang, where is your brother?"

Fang Fang shook her head: "I don't know, my brother is missing."

Zou Jiayan suppressed his laughter and said, "Wen Mingyuan is lost."

"Ah?" Xie Luoshu was stunned. How could he get lost in the village? The villagers were very kind and enthusiastic. He could just ask anyone for directions.

"The production team has already gone to look for him." As the sun went down, the temperature immediately dropped. Bai Xueling held a cup of hot tea to warm her hands. "Wen Mingyuan has a photographer following him, and he's been live streaming. I think they'll find him soon."

Xie Luoshu nodded and then asked: "Always live streaming?"

"Yes." Liu Ruotong said, "We were live streaming when we got off the car. Xiao Xie wouldn't have missed it, right?"
