Entertaining Children

  Chapter 35 Asking for ingredients

   "We...we need someone who is tall to help us pick the loquat." Lin Qisan said cautiously.

  Lin Qisan was also obviously taken aback by the height of the person in front of him. Everyone standing on the table needs to raise his head to speak to the person in front of him.

   "Then can I?" Chen Yang smiled gently at Lin Qisan.

  Lin Qisan nodded quickly.

  It seemed that he was frightening the two children in front of him. Chen Yang smiled again and said to Lin Qisan and Xiao Yao, "My name is...Chen Yang. What is your name?"

   "My name is Lin Qisan, and his name is Bayi." Lin Qisan said slightly shy.

"My name is Xiao Yao, and Bayi is my nickname, because I was born on August 1." Xiao Yao also recovered from the shock at this time, explaining slightly to Chen Yang, and then said: " Yang, can you help us pick loquats?"

   "Of course, but I don't know where the loquat is. To be honest, I don't know what the loquat looks like." Chen Yang shrugged slightly.

   "It doesn't matter, we know where we are, we will take you there." Xiao Yao jumped off the table quickly as he said.

"Be careful!" Chen Yang was taken aback by Xiao Yao's actions. The table was almost one meter high. It was really scary for a five or six-year-old child to jump down like this, but fortunately Xiao Yao landed safely and it didn't happen. What an accident. Seeing that Lin Qisan was ready to jump down as well, Chen Yang hurriedly stretched out his big hand and hugged Lin Qisan down.

  "Let’sgo." Seeing Chen Yang hug Lin Qisan down to the ground, Xiao Yao consciously walked to the front and led the way.

Although the alleys of the village are very narrow and circling around, but Xiao Yao's memory is amazing, and he took Chen Yang smoothly outside the wall where the loquat tree emerged. Chen Yang was very easy to help them. Picked a lot of loquats and filled them with the two small bamboo baskets they were carrying.

"Thank you for your help, Yang." Xiao Yao looked at Chen Yang and said, "If possible, I would like to invite you to dinner with us in the evening. Can you go to the wine shop in the village with us now, Zuixianju? My father is waiting for us there. I think they should all be your fans. They must be very happy to see you.” After that, Xiao Yao asked Chen Min, the director of the filming crew who filmed him, “I can call Chen Yanghe. Shall we have dinner together?"

  As an active international superstar, Chen Yang and the referee of the previous mud pool football match, retired international footballer Xu Dong, are naturally not the same in popularity. Since the program team invited him, naturally it wouldn't be over after picking a few loquats like this. Xiao Yao is still a little sure about this, otherwise he wouldn't speak rashly. Sure enough, Chen Min nodded in surprise.

  Chen Yang obviously also knows the follow-up arrangements of the program group. Seeing that Xiao Yao’s invitation is exactly the same as his follow-up itinerary, he nodded and smiled immediately: “Okay. Then you will lead the way, and I will send you back to your father.”

   "Here!" Xiao Yao immediately turned into a hospitable landlord and began to take Chen Yang to the wine shop.

  Although the five dads seem to be drinking and chatting easily and comfortably in the wine shop, they still cannot completely let go of the children in their hearts. While talking about the sky, a large part of the attention of several people was still paying attention to the movement at the door.

   Seeing Xiao Yao stepping into the door, the fathers who were sitting around a square table drinking in the hall noticed it immediately.

   "Oh, Bayi is back so soon." Zhao Tao said first. Xiao Siqi immediately got up and greeted him.

  But Xiao Siqi had just walked two steps toward the door, and when he saw Chen Yang who was leading Lin Qisan in behind, he was surprised to stand in place. Not only Xiao Siqi, but the other four dads who were still sitting at the table saw Chen Yang and all stood up in surprise.

Seeing the performance of the fathers, Xiao Yao turned around and took Chen Yang's other hand, and walked towards the fathers' table, and said to the fathers: "This is the expert who helped us pick loquats. I invited him to drink with you."

"Okay, Chen Yang, I'm your fan." The fathers seemed to be pulled back to God by Xiao Yao's words, and they all surrounded Chen Yang and proactively extended their hands to Chen Yang. They were all fans. See the idol.

   "Hello." Chen Yang smiled and greeted the fathers, took the two children, and sat down with the fathers to the table full of wine utensils and snacks. Xiao Yao put the basket he was carrying on the table, and asked Xiao Siqi, "Have they come back yet?"

   "Huh? Oh, not yet." Xiao Siqi finally recovered from the excitement of seeing the idol, and answered Xiao Yao.

   "My task is complete. Can I help Shishi and the others?" Xiao Yao asked the filming director Chen Min.

   "Yes, but we don't know where they are. You have to find them yourself first." Chen Min said.

"No matter where they are, they can't get out of this village anyway, so they are easy to find." Xiao Yao smiled, and then moved to Xiao Siqi's side and whispered: "Dad, I'm going to find Shishi them, and I went with them to help. That's right. Now, in addition to yourself, remember to help me with Chen Yang's signature."

   "San'er, I asked Shito and they went to help them, are you going?" Xiao Yao asked Lin Qisan.

   "I'll go too." Lin Qisan said when he saw it, and immediately slipped out of Chen Yang's side and said to Xiao Yao. Facing Chen Yang, Lin Qisan was not as excited as his fathers, but felt a little uncomfortable because of his terrifying height. Xiao Yao's proposal was a relief to him, so he agreed without hesitation.

  The fathers are naturally happy to see the children actively helping each other. Seeing that Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan are going to another group to help, of course they will not object to them. After a little bit of advice, they focused on Chen Yang again.

  Xiao Yao took Lin Qisan out of the wine shop and walked in the general direction of Zhao Rui's group when they separated, listening carefully to the movement in the village as they walked.

  In the village in the afternoon, the road was relatively quiet. Xiao Yao took Lin Qisan to find a place where there was a sound. It didn't take long to find Zhao Rui and the three who were asking about collecting food.

   "Stone! We are here to help." Xiao Yao shouted to Zhao Rui from a distance.

   "How many things have you collected?" Xiao Yao asked Zhao Rui, who walked closer.

   "It's all here," Zhao Rui was naturally happy for Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan's active help, pointing to the basket of the three people.

   "Let me see," Xiao Yao knelt down, flipped through the three baskets, and found that there were almost six or seven things. Standing up, Xiao Yao asked Zhao Rui, "How many things are left? Where are the photos?"

  Zhao Rui handed over a few photos and said, "All those that were not found are here."

   Xiao Yao took a look and found that there were still six photos, that is, there were six things left. Xiao Yao picked three of them and handed the remaining three to Zhao Rui and said, "Stone, give me these three, and you are responsible for these three." Then he said to the people next to him: "Little fat man, you follow me. San'er, you walk with Do'er and the rocks together. We will move separately, which will be faster."

  The directors of the several film crews filmed did not express any opinions. The previous grouping only assigned different tasks to several people, and did not stipulate that they should not act separately in the process of finding food or picking loquat. Now that all five people are looking for ingredients, they have no problem with the children's self-grouping.

   "Brother Bayi, I want to be with you." Sun Tingting said.

"Duoer, you should be with the stone, remember what your father said, it is better to exercise you with the stone." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head and refused, turning his head to Zhou Zhihao: "Little fat man, carrying the basket, let's go."

   "Oh," Zhou Zhihao had no objection. He picked up his basket and followed Xiao Yao in the other direction.

   "Brother Bayi, why don't you have a basket?" Zhou Zhihao carried the basket and looked at Xiao Yao with empty hands.

   "My task is to pick the loquat. The task is completed. Of course, my basket is filled with loquat." Xiao Yao replied, "If you can't carry it, speak out, I'll help you carry it."

   "Who said I can't carry it anymore? I have great strength." Zhou Zhihao said immediately.

   Xiao Yao smiled. Why not go with Sun Tingting? Because Xiao Yao was embarrassed to let the girl carry things empty-handed.

Seeing a house with a door open and people sitting at the door, Xiao Yao said to Zhou Zhihao: "Let’s go to that house, and I will ask for things in a moment. You have to say please, when we get the things and go, Remember to say thank you, you know?"

Seeing Zhou Zhihao nodding, Xiao Yao led him to the door of the house and said to a woman in her 30s at the door: "Hello Auntie, we are going to collect the ingredients for dinner. Do you have rice? Can you give us some?"

  Zhou Zhihao remembered Xiao Yao’s words and immediately said: "Please."

The man obviously knew that the show crew came to the village to shoot, looked at the camera team behind the two children, knew that this was filming the show, and immediately smiled enthusiastically: "Yes, you wait, I will pretend to be for you. Yes. how much?"

   Xiao Yao said: "I don’t know, but Auntie, we have eleven people, six adults, and five children as old as I am. You can fill me as many meters as you need for a meal."

   "Oh, I remember the number very clearly. Auntie has the number, you are waiting." The man entered the room with a smile. It didn't take long before he came out with a bag and handed it to Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao accepted the thanks, put the rice bag into Zhou Zhihao’s basket, and said to the aunt, “Auntie, do you have eggplants or potatoes in your house? We also need eggplants and potatoes.”

   "There are no potatoes, but there are eggplants," the man pointed to a vegetable patch next to the house with a joking smile, "I happen to have a kind of eggplant at home, or you can pick it yourself. Pick as many as you want."

   "Okay, thank you Auntie." Xiao Yao took Zhou Zhihao's basket and placed it on the ground, pointing to the vegetable patch and said to Zhou Zhihao: "Haohao, go pick eggplants, not too many, just two or three."

   "Oh, but what does the eggplant look like?" Zhou Zhihao said in a daze.

   "This way," Xiao Yao shook his head speechlessly, and showed Zhou Zhihao the eggplant in the photo of the ingredients.

   "That's it, I see." Zhou Zhihao nodded, and went to the vegetable patch next to the house.

"Stop!" When Xiao Yao saw that Zhou Zhihao had picked an eggplant that was only as long as his own palm, he had to start with an eggplant that was obviously not grown. A black line hurriedly stopped, "This eggplant is too small to grow. Okay, pick such a long one!" As he said, Xiao Yao gestured with both hands.

After finally waiting for Zhou Zhihao to pick two eggplants about 30 cm long, Xiao Yao took Zhou Zhihao and his aunt to say goodbye, and went to the next house to find potatoes.

Seeing Zhou Zhihao carrying the basket strenuously and walking out of breath, Xiao Yao still couldn't bear to take over the basket in Zhou Zhihao's hand, and said to Zhou Zhihao: "Let's switch to carrying the basket, let's carry it alone for a while. Wait a minute. When you go to the next house to ask for potatoes, just do what I said earlier, you know?"
