Chapter 44: If Lady Strange Hot Search
Chapter 44
Just as the barrage of comments was noisy, the five families were already chatting and laughing as they walked towards their homes, not at all affected by the amount of ingredients.
Every dad was rushing home to cook for their children.
Half an hour later, a small figure peeked out from the door.
"Uncle, can you give me a ride?"
Ji Ruochu looked up at the staff member next to the tricycle and asked.
[Hmm? Where is Ruochu going?]
[Going to play with friends after eating?]
[That can't be, Ji Mochen's food isn't cooked yet.]
"Sure, is Ruochu going to visit her brothers and sisters?" The staff member, who got permission from the director, asked, "But have you eaten?"
"Not yet~ Uncle please wait for me~" The little one said before running back home. Soon, she came out hugging a bowl covered with plastic wrap.
Behind her was Ji Mochen, holding three big bowls in his hands, carrying one in each hand and the third sandwiched between them.
Barrage comment: His arms are so long!
"Sorry for the trouble, I was going to go by myself, but there is still soup cooking on the stove that I can't leave." After putting the bowls on the tricycle, Ji Mochen said with a smile, "Be careful on the road."
The staff member quickly responded yes. After Ji Mochen carefully helped his daughter onto the tricycle, the staff member slowly started the tricycle.
The speed was not much faster than walking. Don't ask, it was Ji King's overwhelming pressure that he didn't dare go too fast.
Seeing this, Ji Mochen nodded in satisfaction, with a smile at the corner of his mouth as he stood at the door watching the little one go away before turning back into the house.
[Awesome, should I say it or not? This father and daughter pair are still quite tacit, Ji Mochen saw that the roast duck was cut into four pieces, and the little one knew.]
[Wow wow, isn't our Ruochu so well-behaved, she hugged the duck neck and gnawed it for a long time without coveting the roast duck.]
[Tsk, it's another day of trying to steal someone's baby.]
Soon, the Fan family arrived. With the staff's help, Ji Ruochu struggled to carry a quarter of the roast duck to the Fan's.
"Uncle Fan!" A sweet voice sounded as the Fan father and son were setting the table.
"Ruochu is here!" Fan Hongru's smiled immediately turned doting, "Have you eaten? Sit down and try Uncle's cooking?"
"Little sister Ruochu, come eat ribs!" Fan Jin said happily.
"I haven't eaten yet. Uncle, my dad asked me to bring over roast duck." After the little one put down the bowl that was bigger than her face, she panted twice.
"Ah, thank you so much!" Fan Hongru was shocked. He immediately asked his son to bring out a small bowl from the kitchen. Without hesitation, he scooped out half a small bowl of braised spareribs with fermented black beans, "Take this back with you and we can share with each other."
Seeing his insistence, Ji Ruochu could only thank him and take it away. As expected, she received food from the rest of the families afterwards.
By the time Ji Ruochu finally returned home, her family's small table was full.
The father and daughter had a sumptuous dinner with the food they won back, as well as a small bowl of ribs, a third of a fish.
The Mao and Geng families didn't have much food originally. The two families were going to cook together. Seeing her bring two bowls of roast duck, they didn't have anything else to give. They just used washed milk bottles to pour two cups of freshly squeezed fruit juice for her.
[Are those people who said earlier that other ingredients shouldn't have been taken still here? Have you seen this? This is the right way to handle it.]
[That's right. If Ji Mochen had said to give it to the other dads at the beginning, it would have been very embarrassing.]
[Yeah, especially in front of the children. This way of handling it is very good. It's not giving away, it's sharing.]
[It reminds me of when I was little, our family and our neighbors visited each other like this. Each family would cook one or two dishes, but when it was time to eat, the table would be full of dishes.]
[Yes, not like now? Everyone minds their own business behind closed doors, not to mention visiting each other, some don't even recognize their neighbors.]
...
When night fell, the five families took their children out for a walk after dinner, not going too far. The children chatted noisily while the dads talked about breakfast tomorrow.
The production team said earlier that starting tomorrow, the staff would no longer provide wake-up calls. The dads need to set their own alarms.
If they miss the time to purchase ingredients, the income earned from the next day's game competition would be halved.
Breakfast is not important, but the halved income is unacceptable, because the production team does not allow substitute purchases. With no other way, the dads could only agree on the time to go out the next day.
When Ji Mochen carried a sleepy Ji Ruochu home, it was already past 8 p.m.
In the dark night, the tall man held the child with steady steps. By the roadside was the soft chirping of insects and croaking of frogs.
The little one's head nodded drowsily, but she still remembered to video call her mom when she gets home, drawing another wave of comments fawning over the cute baby.
[To be honest, the quality of this season has finally gone back to what we want to see - a parenting variety show of dads bringing up children,
not family disasters or fighting alone, but good neighboring relationships and heartwarming interactions, a harmonious gathering!]
[The slow life is really healing. It's only the second day but I feel like two months have passed, as if time has been infinitely extended.]
The barrage comments were praising the healing effect of rural life. Amidst such harmonious discussion, the five families turned off the lights one by one and ended the livestream.
As the screen darkened, the word "Good Night" filled each live studio before the livestream closed. The livestream will open again at 7 am tomorrow.
But the discussion about today's livestream did not end with its ending. On the contrary, this was the best time for most netizens to get on board.
Soon, fans of each family cut out one charming short video after another.
Unlike Ji father and daughter's solo stardom on the first day, today's livestream was a blossoming of various beautiful flowers. Among them, Fan Jin's popularity grew the most, followed by Lin Xindi who was covered in chicken poop.
While netizens laughed loudly, they also sympathized with the child. As for Ji Ruochu... she also trended on the hot search, but the names were a bit strange.
#Ruochu threading needle - adept#
#Ruochu sweeping floor - loud thunder but little rain#
As for Ji Mochen, netizens also changed their impression of him greatly, even almost forgetting that he was that arrogant and bad-tempered king.
Not to mention, just the GIF of him standing up from the field in the afternoon went viral, the social platform was a carnival for his female fans.
In summary, the father-daughter reality show debut of the Ji family was a great success.
Of course, the families were completely unaware of this as they soon fell into dreamland after the day's work.
The next morning at dawn.
The moment the alarm clock rang, Ji Mochen opened his eyes. By the time he briskly tidied himself up and opened the door, the camera brother had set up equipment outside in preparation to capture the King's embarrassing morning look.
Ji Mochen: ...Sorry to disappoint you.
After a while, the other dads also arrived at Ji's door. Yawning, they walked towards the village entrance together.
"It's ridiculous, even when I was in school I didn't get up this early." Lin Yan was very sleepy. His son woke up crying twice in the middle of the night last night, causing him to never sleep well.
The poor child dreamed that he was surrounded by chickens and ducks all pooping on him, saying that he almost drowned in crap.
"I coaxed him all night. It felt like my eyes had just closed when the alarm rang."
Hearing this, the other dads all laughed aloud.
"Then go back and catch up on your sleep. I made breakfast for everyone too, wait for your kid to wake up and bring him to my house to eat." Fan Hongru patted his shoulder.
"OK then, I won't stand on ceremony."
"What ceremony, besides, it's my naughty boy who caused trouble."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan immediately waved his hand: "You can't say that. The child was spoiled too delicate by me. He's also as much of a clean freak as me. In recent years, he's cried over every dissatisfaction, sometimes making me suspect our Xindi was actually a girl."
"That shows that the child has a delicate mind and will surely be considerate in the future, certainly better than my naughty boy whom I have to clean up after everyday..."
Chatting and laughing, the dads walked towards the village entrance.
