Chapter 171: A Chaotic Journey with Flying Chickens and Jumping Fish
Lu Li felt such a tiny one clinging to his leg saying he was afraid, and looked up at the cameraman not far away who was wearing a mysterious smile. He just knew that this segment definitely wouldn’t be cut from the final film.
He didn’t know how Lu Ting and the others would feel when they saw it.
“It’s okay, isn’t that big rooster’s mouth covered? You see, even if it wants to peck you, it can’t.”
Lu Li half-squatted and hugged Xueyan, analyzing seriously.
Although the program team considered entertainment value, they also had to consider safety. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] So, they specially put a muzzle on the big rooster’s beak in advance to avoid pecking the little friends’ eyes or skin.
And Pei Shuo clearly also noticed Xueyan’s fear of the chicken in his arms, and his mood instantly became even more conflicted.
“Alright little friends, say goodbye to your parents. We are about to ride the village party secretary’s exclusive luxury car—a luxury electric tricycle—to the market!”
The host also interrupted the scene of the little friends reluctantly parting with their parents, and announced the official departure.
It was just that the little friends looked at this red electric tricycle with “Blooming Flowers and Prosperity” written all over it in front of them, and were clearly quite resistant.
Feeling like this luxury car didn’t seem very luxurious?
The group of parents left in place watched as the little friends were carried onto the tricycle one by one, their hearts filled with all sorts of emotions.
“Son, be strong! Be a little man, and remember to take care of the younger brothers and sisters!”
Teacher Lin Xiangtao was the first to send a message to his son.
It was just that little friend Lin Yujia clearly didn’t think so. The beautiful little guy holding a bucket of fish had a tense, fair little face, and actually looked at his dad with tears flowing before he even spoke.
But the heartless cameraman very cheerfully filmed a few clips of the cub shedding tears, clearly feeling this was exceptionally beautiful material.
Xueyan was also the last to be carried by his brother onto the tricycle. The appearance of him tightly hugging the basket of little potatoes that was his entire property in his arms, although he didn’t say a single word, just inexplicably made people feel a hit of cuteness.
Lan Yu on the side couldn’t help but look a few times, simply wanting to ask the boss if that most central, beautiful, milky-white little potato was for sale?
“Little Aunt, you’re pressing on my clothes hem.”
Thus, Pei Shuo struggled to hold onto the tricycle basket, and could only adjust the hem of his clothes caught by his little aunt himself.
“Oh oh, sorry haha. Look, haven’t you pulled it out yourself?”
While Lan Yu turned her head trying to quibble, she noticed a faint anger surfacing on Pei Shuo’s brows and eyes, and instantly smiled and shut her mouth.
Oh my, why does this kid have such a big temper?
Alright alright, it was indeed her fault for losing focus.
“Pay attention to safety on the road. If this chicken really can’t be sold, forget it. Anyway, being last isn’t that bad.”
Lan Yu finally patted Pei Shuo’s shoulder.
Pei Shuo was just moved for a second, but hearing his little aunt say “last” as soon as she opened her mouth, he instantly didn’t want to speak again.
He wouldn’t be the last!
The set of clothes the program team borrowed from the villagers was slightly big, but worn on Pei Shuo, it actually had a kind of loose and casual visual sense.
Perhaps fashion completeness still depends on the face.
“Lu Li, do you think these few little guys can smoothly complete the task?”
Just as Lu Li was staring at Xueyan riding away in the vehicle, Best Actor Fu Shuilan on the side actually very amiably took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lu Li.
Lu Li was first stunned for a moment, then very seriously expressed his expectation:
“I think they should be able to.”
“I think so too, mainly because the vegetables Emma and Xueyan drew should be relatively the easiest to sell.”
Best Actor Fu said with a smile.
“Sigh, I’m just worried that kid in our family wouldn’t dare to open his mouth and hawk.”
Teacher Lin Xiangtao was worried.
Everyone collectively looked at Teacher Lin Xiangtao and laughed too. Lin Yujia truly belonged to the little friends with a highly sensitive personality.
In fact, not long after the tricycle started, the atmosphere was still quite good.
Although Lin Yujia kept holding the small water bucket and crying silently, until Xueyan on the side finally couldn’t help but look at this little friend curiously, and asked softly:
“Yujia, are you afraid your little fish won’t have water to drink, so you keep shedding tears for them to drink?”
Lin Yujia was instantly startled and turned his head to look at Xueyan beside him.
Just busy crying the whole time, Lin Yujia hadn’t even noticed that Xueyan was actually sitting next to him! Looking at Xueyan up close like this, he felt even more that Xueyan was so beautiful it was like he was glowing.
His speaking voice was also pleasant.
Moreover, there was a fragrant toddler face cream smell on him, completely different from the fishy smell in the bucket. It made Lin Yujia feel his nose wasn’t suffering as much anymore.
“N-no, because I just simply wanted to cry.”
So, Lin Yujia also softly and obediently answered Xueyan’s question.
He didn’t want to shed tears for these scary fish to drink!
Thinking this way, Lin Yujia stubbornly held back his tears just because of one sentence from Xueyan.
The cameramen following the vehicle behind noticed this scene and clicked their tongues in wonder, not expecting this little boiling kettle actually had a water stop valve?
Completing a task for the first time, the interaction between these adorable babies with varying personalities was clearly also a segment the audience was very looking forward to.
Pei Shuo naturally couldn’t have missed the conversation between Xueyan and Lin Yujia. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Unfortunately, he was holding this hateful big rooster deadweight in his arms.
He could tell that Xueyan was also very afraid of roosters.
So, Pei Shuo chose to sit in the corner being angry at himself, responsible for cold-facedly supervising this eager chicken, forbidding it from getting close to Xueyan.
Watching from the side, little princess Emma, who originally felt Pei Shuo was also very good-looking and wanted to strike up a conversation, closed her mouth a bit hesitantly, not daring to initiate a conversation with Pei Shuo anymore.
Gu Duanduan was even simpler, hugging a basket of meat in his arms, frequently lifting the cover to take a look, nervous whether the ice cubes inside had melted.
But the little guy clearly didn’t realize that every time he lifted it, quite a lot of cold air would dissipate, and the ice cubes would melt even faster.
So, from the cameramen’s perspective, they just felt the dramatic tension of this tricycle full of little friends was maxed out, and just the material filmed along this journey was incredibly rich.
“My, my fish! Wuwu, Uncle, my fish jumped out—!”
Until Lin Yujia suddenly let out a terrified cry, causing the tricycle to stop with a “Screech—”.
It turned out that after stopping his tears, Lin Yujia couldn’t help but constantly turn his head to glance at Xueyan.
Sensing the gaze, Xueyan would also turn his head and blink his eyes looking at Lin Yujia.
Little friend Lin Yujia, making eye contact with Xueyan, became even more nervous, leading him to fail to notice a fish in the bucket trying to escape.
With a “splash”, the strongest fish flipped out of the bucket all at once!
This escaped fish constantly and rapidly flapped its tail on the small field path, kicking up a cloud of dust. Watching this scene, Lin Yujia was almost broken:
“I-I want to go home to find my mom… Waah, I’m really so, so afraid of fish!”
“Oh child, stop crying, it’s just a fish!”
The villager driving the tricycle originally thought some big incident had happened. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] He found this scene amusing and prepared to personally help this little young master catch the fish back.
Although the villagers didn’t quite know this group of people from the program team, it didn’t prevent them from discovering that this group of little dolls from the city indeed had handsome appearances that endeared them to people. Even when crying, they cried beautifully.
“No, the director said, if we encounter difficulties we must solve them ourselves, otherwise it’s a foul and points will be deducted.”
However, Pei Shuo firmly remembered the program team’s rules and stopped the villager uncle.
Lin Yujia, who was already teary-eyed, remembering this rule, instantly became even more desperate.
As a result, after Pei Shuo finished speaking and jumped out of the vehicle, he directly pressed the fish down and stated:
“We just need to press it down together and put it back into Lin Yujia’s bucket, and points won’t be deducted.”
“Really? I want to catch the fish too! Xueyan, let’s go together, okay?”
Emma, looking at this scene, was actually also eager to try. Wearing a little dress, she also rolled up her sleeves and jumped down after him.
The cameramen on the side also hoisted their long guns and short cannons and began to follow and film this unexpected incident.
Only Lin Yujia, carrying his own water bucket, opened his mouth wide for a moment, not knowing whether he should look forward to this dirty fish coming back.
“But I can’t get off the vehicle, it keeps sticking to me, Brother…”
But just as everyone was preparing to catch the fish together, Xueyan anxiously called out the first “Brother” after his brother wasn’t by his side.
It turned out that when Xueyan was preparing to get off the vehicle together to join the little friends’ fish-catching operation, the big rooster released by Pei Shuo finally seized the opportunity, stretched its neck, and curiously leaned close to look at Xueyan.
Xueyan tried hard to stretch out his small hand to block the big rooster’s furry head, his whole body writing full of little resistance. As a result, the big rooster instead had even more fun playing.
“Oh no! Pei Shuo’s big rooster is going to eat Xueyan—”
Emma turned her head and looked at this scene in shock, feeling this big rooster was no less than an evil dragon preparing to snatch Xueyan away and eat him.
Pei Shuo was even more deeply regretful and directly rushed over wanting to hold down that bad chicken that scared Xueyan.
Leaving Lin Yujia, who had finally mustered the courage to try holding down the fish for the first time, dumbfounded. How come in the blink of an eye all the rescue troops disappeared!?
“No, my fish—!”
The startled Lin Yujia couldn’t hold onto the fish he had finally independently picked up. Taking advantage of the opportunity, it gave a flick of its tail and directly rushed into the ditch between the field ridges, swimming away rapidly and disappearing.
They hadn’t even started selling vegetables, and they actually already lost a fish?
The few little friends coincidentally standing on the field ridge, looking into the distance at the ditch, inexplicably had a bit of tacit understanding and a bit of cuteness.
Amidst the “cluck cluck” sounds, Pei Shuo rapidly and guiltily covered the big rooster’s restlessly moving head, vaguely revealing the chaotic panic from a few minutes ago.
Only the staff members trying hard to hold back their laughter could already imagine what kind of reaction this scene of flying chickens and jumping fish would have after broadcasting.
“Yujia, but maybe that little fish of yours is a smart fairy little fish…”
Trying to comfort Lin Yujia, Xueyan actually suddenly remembered a picture book story his brother had read to him.
The other little friends seemingly didn’t make a sound, but were clearly also pricking up their ears listening to Xueyan tell the story of the fairy little fish.
“Fairy little fish?”
Making the originally somewhat melancholic Lin Yujia firmly remember for the rest of his life this wonderful story Xueyan told on the road.
Could this released little fish turn into a person in the future to help him write homework, take exams, or take spankings from his dad? That sounded just too perfect.
However, such an unexpected incident actually made the originally somewhat unfamiliar cubs quickly become familiar with each other, and more than ten minutes later they finally successfully arrived at the market.
Lin Yujia, after the unexpected experience of personally catching a fish, gradually overcame his fear of fish.
Pei Shuo still had his hands in his pockets, but from somewhere he found a rope, tying one end to the big rooster’s ankle and the other end to his own wrist, looking like he was walking a rooster to patrol the vegetable market.
Xueyan, rarely quietly pursing his lips, stood on the diagonal line from Pei Shuo and the big rooster. It was just that this little action clearly couldn’t escape the eyes of the audience and Pei Shuo.
Emma was actually very happy, because now the most beautiful doll Xueyan was standing right beside her.
“Ahem, now we have successfully arrived at the market, all you little friends can start moving freely! The little friend who finishes selling the fastest can also win an extra reward for their family~”
The host, who had been riding in a nanny van the whole way, appeared looking radiant on the spot, and even handed out a brightly colored and very conspicuous triangular bandana to each of the little friends.
Although every little friend had at least 2 accompanying filming staff members behind them, the vegetable market was crowded and had mixed people. To prevent the cubs from getting lost, the program team still took various measures.
“…But is this bandana really pretty?”
Little princess Emma was assigned a purple checkered triangular bandana. The little guy, who always had extremely high aesthetic standards, secretly felt in her heart that this bandana was ugly.
Pei Shuo was even more resistant all over, feeling that wearing the triangular bandana was especially silly.
“I’m ready, Host Uncle.”
It wasn’t until Xueyan, laboriously carrying the little potatoes on the side, was the first to obediently lower his head to let the staff sister tie the triangular bandana and prepare to set off to sell goods, that the few little guys instantly quieted down.
Xueyan just happened to be assigned a light goose-yellow little bandana, skillfully tied by the staff sister into his soft white hair, with a bow tied at the back that perked up.
When he looked up, he looked just like a mysterious forest farmer elf planting flowers and raising grass in a fairy tale.
The cameramen and staff on the side were even more amazed watching.
Could this be the legendary guiding role of a child model?
Because the cubs, who originally had low cooperation levels, ever since Xueyan put on the little farmer bandana, visibly changed their attitudes and smoothly put on Xueyan’s identical bandana to start moving!
