Please, I really want to try it, but I can't go to the area. What should I do?!
[That's easy, just have Su Huaiming handle the purchasing.]
[That's right, that's right, the mushroom sauce from that day, along with the stream water, we made him carry it back by hand.]
[We're all family, why be so formal? Let Su Huaiming treat us, lol emoji]
[Then I can be Su Huaiming's one-day fan (winking emoji)]
Apart from Su Huaiming and the four children, everyone else had drunk their fill and carried the stream water to the homes of the old people.
The elderly people were very happy and invited them to sit down and rest for a while. Thinking that they had never drunk the stream water before, they also made tea for them.
Surprisingly, Sun Siyuan and the others did not refuse. They sat there and, under the guise of drinking tea, drank two more cups of stream water, as if drinking so much at once would make more hair grow on their heads.
Back in the cabin, Sun Siyuan and the others were so full that they could barely eat a few bites of lunch. Their stomachs were full of water, and it felt like they could hear the splashing of water every few steps.
After lunch, Su Huaiming went to take a nap, but Sun Siyuan was too full to sleep. Just then, the production team gave him a task, so he took the opportunity to work.
The main reason is that I've never chopped firewood before, so I'm a bit curious and want to try it.
The children were at an age where they couldn't sit still. Fu Xiaoxiao was like a little calf, full of strength. Even with Su Huaiming, the hypnotic magician, by his side, he couldn't fall asleep for a nap.
Not only Yu Xuanxuan, Ji Youyou was also led astray by him. The three children heard a noise in the yard and ran out curiously, only to see Sun Siyuan chopping wood.
But their attention lingered on Sun Siyuan for only a second before being drawn to the short figures of two adults and one child in the corner of the yard.
Jameel was squatting on the ground, a small ball of fur. In front of him was a dog almost as tall as him, all black, with round, bright eyes. It looked very docile and was obediently squatting there, letting Jameel pet it.
Upon seeing the dog, Fu Xiaoxiao and the others immediately ran over with bright eyes.
Jameel saw them and instinctively smiled, but then suddenly remembered something, turned around fearfully, and stood awkwardly to the side.
Fu Xiaoxiao and the others did not notice this carefully.
Instead, they all squatted excitedly in front, their eyes shining as they looked at the big dog.
Fu Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid of anything and went straight to pet the dog's head.
The big dog has fluffy fur, but it feels a bit rough to the touch because it hasn't been bathed in a long time.
With Fu Xiaoxiao taking the lead, Yu Xuanxuan and Ji Youyou also mustered up their courage to pet the dog's head and gently pinch its ears, afraid of hurting the big dog.
"So soft, so cute!"
"I love dogs so much, can I cuddle with it tonight and sleep together?"
"The dog's ears feel a little warm, does it have a fever?"
The big dog had an unusually high tolerance for human puppies. Its dark eyes shone with a gentle light as it sat there obediently, letting the puppies chatter around it. It even noticed that Ji Youyou was crouching too low, so it lowered its head to let Ji Youyou pet it.
Jameel was overjoyed to see how much Fu Xiaoxiao and the others liked the big dog he brought back, and he immediately let his true nature shine through, exclaiming, "This dog is amazing! I was playing outside and didn't know how to get back, but it brought me home!"
"Wow, you're so amazing, big dog!" Ji Youyou stood up, her eyes shining as she looked at the big dog, genuinely praising her.
The big dog walked up to Ji Youyou just happened to place its head in her hand.
Ji Youyou's eyes, which were originally big and round like black agate, were now sparkling as she looked at the big dog with great joy. Not missing this opportunity, she stroked the dog's head with her soft, white hands, clearly enjoying the feel of it.
Fu Xiaoxiao wasn't shy at all, chattering away as she asked, "Where did you meet that big dog?"
Jameel is Fu Ning Lei's son. Although the children had been filming a variety show together for a few days, Jameel hardly played with them. This was the first time they had a proper interaction.
Jameel, the oldest of the children present, was quite cheerful. With Fu Xiaoxiao chubby, round face, he puffed out his chest and said, "This big dog was lying under the tree. Seeing I was lost, it took me home!"
Jameel didn't mention that he was lost and started crying. The big dog circled him many times, offering its head for him to pet, which finally calmed Jameel down. He followed behind, sobbing, back to the cabin.
Yu Xuanxuan asked curiously, "Did the dog offer to bring you back?"
Jameel nodded confidently. "Yes, it was Big Dog who said it."
"Wow, you can communicate with a dog!" Fu Xiaoxiao, never missing an opportunity for excitement, pressed on, "So what did it say?"
"Let me think..." Jameel frowned and scratched the back of his head, mimicking what he said as he recalled, "That's what he said... woof woof!"
Upon hearing a series of melodious dog barks, Sun Siyuan thought, "..."
He looked at Jameel, who was barking earnestly, and then at Fu Xiaoxiao and Yu Xuanxuan, who were listening intently and trying to decipher the dog's language. After holding it in for a few seconds, he couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. He was almost rolling on the ground laughing.
Several human cubs heard the sound and looked over in confusion.
"Is that uncle alright?" Ji Youyou, ever the thoughtful girl she is, asked with concern.
Fu Xiaoxiao, with a mysterious expression, pointed to her head and said in a low voice, "He's like my stepfather; he has some problems here."
Yu Xuanxuan asked nervously, "Is it serious? It won't...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Youyou's eyes were already brimming with tears, and she was about to burst into sobs. "What should I do? I haven't treated Brother Su to fried chicken yet! I... I really like him! I don't want him to..."
Seeing her beloved younger sister crying, Fu Xiaoxiao realized the enormity of her mistake and panicked, unable to speak properly, "No, no! I won't! I promise!!"
With glistening tears still on her face, Ji Youyou choked out, "Really?"
Fu Xiaoxiao nodded like a chick pecking at its shell, practically swearing to the heavens. "Really! He'll definitely live until the day you treat him to fried chicken! He won't go to the toilet until the very next day!!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Siyuan almost burst into laughter again.
Su Huaiming, your eldest son is truly filial to the extreme!
Although Ji Youyou didn't understand, she instinctively felt that the words were strange. She pouted and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out the problem, so she obediently nodded. "Okay, okay."
Seeing Ji Youyou still sobbing, Fu Xiaoxiao and Yu Xuanxuan panicked and didn't know what to do, so they could only stand there as punishment. Jameel took the initiative to walk over and said, "Youyou, you're super pretty when you smile, can I see it?"
Ji Youyou felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and with a slight smile, she said sweetly, "Thank you... What's your name, brother?"
Jameel's expression froze, her chubby little hands twisting the hem of her clothes, and she subconsciously lowered her head, not wanting to face the three children.
He waited for half a minute, then secretly looked up and saw that Youyou and the others were still looking at him curiously.
Jameel gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and said, "I... my name is... Jameel."
He disliked his name, as it made him different from other children. Every time he introduced himself, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to run away.
But his father insisted that he have this name, saying it was for his own good, but he didn't understand what was so good about such a strange name.
In the past, when the other children heard his name, they would point at him and laugh, leaving him standing in the middle with a red face—Jameel thought it would be the same this time.
But contrary to his expectations, Fu Xiaoxiao stepped forward, almost shoving her face at Jameel, and said excitedly, "Your name is so cool! 'Zha Le Mi' (炸了米), it sounds super awesome!"
After saying that, Fu Xiaoxiao imitated a move from an animated film, crossing her arms in front of her chest with a cool and domineering expression, and unleashed a powerful attack. "Explode the rice... Boom boom boom hahaha!"
Yu Xuanxuan joined in. "It's blown up... Dada Misa!"
Ji Youyou's way of thinking is completely different from theirs.
The rice popped... was that popcorn?
Thinking of sweet popcorn, Ji Youyou's eyes lit up. "I love this name too! I can eat popcorn every day!"
Jameel couldn't keep up with their train of thought and didn't react immediately, but he was infected by the other three boys' emotions and a smile appeared on his face as well.
This is the first time he's been praised because of his name!
This is the first time someone has liked his name!!
The four human cubs were overjoyed and immediately formed a ball.
Hearing their laughter, Sun Siyuan realized his responsibilities as an adult and said, "Come and play here, don't stand in that muddy spot!"
The four human cubs obediently moved to a more spacious area to play.
Sun Siyuan then looked away with relief and continued chopping wood. The big dog stayed obediently by Ji Youyou's side the whole time, almost never leaving her side.
Hearing the sound of chopping wood, Ji Youyou, afraid of scaring the big dog, stretched out her small, white hand and covered the dog's ears.
Yu Xuanxuan, who was playing nearby, noticed this and covered Ji Youyou's ears with his hands.
Jameel thought it was a game and covered Yu Xuanxuan's ears as well. Fu Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe and used a lot of effort to cover Jameel's ears.
... What about his ears?
Fu Xiaoxiao thought for a few seconds and decided to seek help.
"Brother Sun, can you cover my ears?"
Sun Siyuan decided that the four children were just for fun, and his childish heart was itching to play. He walked over and covered Fu Xiaoxiao's ears.
But he waited a full minute, and nothing happened.
He asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"Don't ask me," Fu Xiaoxiao said seriously, "My ears are covered, I can't hear."
Sun Siyuan: "..." You obviously heard that.
He rephrased it. "It's okay, I can hear you."
Fu Xiaoxiao let out a long "Aww!" and looked at Sun Siyuan with bright, sparkling eyes, thinking how smart he was!
Sun Siyuan wasn't happy about this. He paused, then asked again, "Why are you covering your ears?"
Fu Xiaoxiao said with feigned seriousness, "The thumping sound of the wood is so loud! You can't hear it if you cover your ears!"
Crack! Crack!... Chopping wood?!
He looked towards the spot where he had chopped wood, but he was no longer there.
Sun Siyuan's lips twitched twice; he was completely impressed by these four human cubs.
He's been called over, so there's no one chopping wood anymore, and what's the point of making a sound?
What a waste of time!
Chapter 30 030
Sun Siyuan was silent for a few seconds, looking at the four cubs who were "lining up and covering their ears," and tried to explain, "You're afraid of the sound of chopping wood, right? But no one is chopping wood now, so you don't need to cover your ears anymore, right?"
Fu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him. "I'm still covering my ears, I can't hear what you're saying."
Sun Siyuan: "..." Sure enough, you can't reason with these little brats.
Sun Siyuan didn't want to participate in such a childish and silly activity, so he let go of her hand and prepared to continue chopping wood.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xiaoxiao immediately became dissatisfied, her eyes widening. "Brother Sun, why didn't you cover my ears? I can't hear the thumping sound of wood."
Upon hearing this, the other three children, who had been pretending not to hear, turned to look at Sun Siyuan. Their big, watery eyes held pleading and a hint of grievance—no human being could endure such torture.
