Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

The fourth recording session began the next day. The program crew rented a large villa in the suburbs, and everyone needed to drive there by themselves.

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong packed all their belongings for the three kids last night, and got up early in the morning to go downstairs and take the three kids out for a walk. When they came back, the aunt Du Yunkai hired had just finished making breakfast and left, and he and Wenxi had also gotten up.

First, I prepared delicious food for the three little ones, and then the four of them sat together to have breakfast. There was no need to clean the table, as an auntie would come to clean the place in the afternoon.

There were four people, three pets and two cars. Cameras were installed in the cars in advance. There was also a car from the program crew following them. They arrived at the villa at exactly nine o'clock.

The villa has an underground garage, a large lawn and a back garden. After parking the car, Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai carried the large suitcase up the stairs, while Liu Wangxue and Wenxi followed behind with small suitcases and travel bags.

Going up the stairs is the main entrance of the villa. The first thing you see after entering the door is the back garden outside the French window opposite. The four of them were attracted by the various flowers and plants growing happily. After changing into slippers, they temporarily put their luggage in the entrance hall, walked through the living room, and went to take a look at the back garden first.

There were a few pairs of brand new Crocs on the shoe rack outside the floor-to-ceiling window. They should be worn when going to the garden, so they changed out of their home slippers.

The back garden is also quite large, divided into functional areas. The leisure area is near the villa, paved with floor tiles that look old and simple in color, with moss growing in some corners. Under the awning is a uniquely shaped wooden long table, surrounded by the same benches, several rattan chairs and rocking chairs. Not far away is a small tent, with two swing chairs facing each other next to the tent.

Two butterflies flew by, and Pengpeng chased them into the garden. A cameraman immediately followed with his camera.

There are not only various flowers and plants in the garden, but also a small vegetable plot where some vegetables such as chives, lettuce, purple eggplant, and small tomatoes are planted. There is a tree planted on each side of the vegetable plot, a pear tree and a loquat tree.

A few unnamed birds landed on the branches of the pear tree, not afraid of people, staring at them curiously. Gu Gua immediately flew over, stood with the birds, and started a friendly social interaction, chirping and chirping, instantly taking up a spot on the camera.

The trunk of the pear tree is quite thick, with lush branches and leaves. It looks like the tree is quite old. Liu Wangxue looked up, reached out and touched it, and said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that it's already the beginning of May. We have missed the season when the pear blossoms are in full bloom."

As he was speaking, Xiaoci in Xu Qingsong's arms suddenly jumped down, then climbed up the trunk of the pear tree, stopped at the first branch, found a comfortable place to nestle, with its tail dangling back and forth, looking extremely leisurely.

Xu Qingsong took out his phone to take a photo of Xiaoci and said, "Indeed, it would be better to take a photo if the pear blossoms were in full bloom."

"Let me see." Liu Wangxue came over.

Xu Qingsong pulled out the photos and showed them to her: "Or maybe it's the one that knows how to enjoy life the most."

The wind was just right, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, making it warm but not too hot, making it really suitable for sleeping.

Liu Wangxue nodded and said with a smile: "No wonder we have never seen it climb the trees in our yard. It may be that the branches are too thin and it is not comfortable to lie on them."

Du Yunkai looked at Xiaoci's chubby body and told the truth: "I think it's because it's too fat. Your pomegranate tree and cherry tree can't bear it. It's afraid that they will be broken."

Wenxi agreed: "That makes sense. I don't know whether I should praise it or laugh at it, hahaha..."

Xu Qingsong defended: "That's enough, you two. Doesn't our little fat kid have any dignity?"

Liu Wangxue exposed him: "Please put away that smile on your face and don't call it little fat melon. Xiaoci will probably believe that you are speaking for it sincerely." Obviously, she was smiling too.

Xiao Ci opened her eyes, glanced at the four people indifferently, wanted to roll her eyes, but failed, so she simply closed them again.

Humph, I don't bother with annoying people~
This little expression made everyone laugh again. The cameraman did not miss this scene either. He carried the camera and did his job conscientiously, but he was also laughing.

After strolling in the garden for a while, the four of them planned to go back to the living room. Pengpeng just happened to come out from the flowers, so Liu Wangxue called Xiaoci and Guagua to come down.

Xiao Ci had no choice but to open his eyes again and waved his claws at Liu Wangxue, meaning that you can go, and he will continue to sleep here.

Guagua didn't come down either. He jumped up and down and chirped twice to Liu Wangxue, then continued to stand and chat with his new friend.

Okay, Liu Wangxue left the two of them alone. The four of them returned together, and Pengpeng followed them.

As they walked, they discussed going to take a look at the rooms first, and then choosing a bedroom after everyone arrived. However, when they returned to the living room and walked to the stairs, they found a sign there that read "This area is not unlocked."

"Huh? What do you mean?" the four asked at the same time.

Director Zheng Qingzhou just popped out of the nanny's room next to the stairs - this is now used as a workroom with surveillance cameras. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until everyone arrives."

The four of them went to the sofa area and sat down to chat. Liu Wangxue took a wet tissue to wipe Pengpeng's paws, just in case it wanted to come up. Xu Qingsong turned his head to look at the back garden and noticed that there were paw prints brought in by Pengpeng on the floor of the living room, so he took two wet tissues and wiped them clean.

Du Yunkai turned around and called the director to the nanny's room, asking, "How are we going to get our meals here? We didn't see any restaurants on the way here."

It’s almost ten o’clock, and it will be noon in the blink of an eye. I have to think about lunch first.

The environment in this suburban area is quite good, but life there feels a little inconvenient, especially after entering this area, all you see are villas, and there are no supermarkets, restaurants, etc. to be seen.

Zheng Qingzhou held a thermos cup in his hand, still smiling: "You can make your own arrangements, our director team will never interfere."

Du Yunkai thought he was really funny: "Who asked you to interfere? I asked you to provide a solution."

Wenxi quietly complained to Liu Wangxue: "Look at him, he's acting like a boss again."

Liu Wangxue smiled, remembering what Wenxi had told her about the quarrel with Du Yunkai. In fact, Wenxi was at fault that time, and she knew it herself. After the quarrel, she apologized to Du Yunkai and asked for forgiveness.

However, this "request" was only verbal. Du Yunkai was not satisfied and asked her: "Is this the solution you gave?"

Wenxi later complained to Liu Wangxue: "You didn't see the look on his face at that time. He acted as if I was his employee!"

Du Yunkai is usually not arrogant. Liu Wangxue guessed that he was probably infected by Xu Qingsong's love of acting. Isn't this just a little romance between lovers? After listening to him, she suggested to Wenxi: "You are also the boss, so you should also put on airs. Since he is not satisfied with this plan, let him plan it himself and you can cooperate in the execution."

Wenxi felt at the time that Liu Wangxue was worthy of being her sister and really understood her well, so she did just that. As a result, although she apologized on the surface, it turned out that Du Yunkai was coaxing her.

It was at that time that Wenxi realized that she might really be controlled by this man.

In fact, to Liu Wangxue's point of view, this is also a kind of "mutual manipulation".

The director at the door of the nanny's room was still smiling and responded to Du Yunkai: "The solution has been given, it's up to you to make your own arrangements~"

"Ah~"! Even if you want to act cute, you should consider your own conditions! Du Yunkai was so stimulated by Zheng Qingzhou that he immediately turned back and stared at Wenxi to "disinfect" his own eyes.

After wiping the claw marks on the floor, Xu Qingsong came back and threw the dirty wet tissue in his hand into the trash can. He took the clean tissue handed to him by Liu Wangxue and said, "Didn't we pass through a block on the way here? There are many restaurants along the way."

"The drive will take at least 20 minutes," Liu Wangxue said, "but Sister Xueqing said she wanted to bring her own coal briquettes over. And with the three little ones, it wouldn't be very convenient to take them out for dinner."

There was an open kitchen on the first floor. Liu Wangxue noticed that it was fully equipped with kitchenware and a large double-door refrigerator, so she asked, "How about we cook it ourselves?"

"Okay," Wenxi stood up first, "I'll go see what's in the refrigerator."

Du Yunkai called the director again and asked him, "Can we use the kitchen?"

Zheng Qingzhou nodded: "Of course!" Wenxi had already opened the refrigerator. Xu Qingsong saw that it was full of things and asked: "What about the things in the refrigerator? Can we eat them?"

Zheng Qingzhou continued to nod: "Don't worry, they are all prepared by the program team. The vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back are also edible. The program team has already paid for them."

The four of them understood immediately, and Liu Wangxue, Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai also stood up and went to the kitchen.

Du Yunkai complained to his face: "If you want us to cook our own food, why don't you just say it directly? Why are you beating around the bush?"

Zheng Qingzhou defended himself: "Really not, we agreed to arrange it by ourselves and our production team will definitely not interfere, this is just in case."

As he spoke, his expression changed, and he called Du Yunkai "Master" hesitantly, "We've recorded this three times, and you've never cooked once. Don't you consider making a loving lunch for your beloved girlfriend?"

Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong laughed when they heard it, and they looked at each other, exchanging glances.

Let Du Yunkai cook?

real or fake?

What will he do?
Can eat?

Du Yunkai didn't care about the camera at all, and asked Zheng Qingzhou directly: "Tell me the truth, did you take advantage of my sister or my mother?"

Just as Zheng Qingzhou was about to deny it, Wen Xi said to Du Yunkai coldly: "So, you have no love for me?"

Now it was Du Yunkai's turn to deny it hastily: "How could that be possible? You know me well. Even if I dare to do it and you dare to eat it, I can't do it. I'm afraid you will want to kill me after eating it."

After saying that, he gave Wenxi a look, and then said to Xu Qingsong: "Things like cooking should be left to those who know how to do it. After all, your grandfather's family used to prepare imperial banquets. You should be able to learn a little bit from them, right?"

Liu Wangxue immediately hugged Xu Qingsong, trying to block Du Yunkai's sight, and joked, "Don't order my Mr. Xu around so casually."

Xu Qingsong smiled and hugged her back, then bent down and kissed her on the top of her head.

Wenxi and Du Yunkai both covered their eyes. Wenxi laughed at Liu Wangxue: "Okay, okay, you're the only one who can do this, right? The group show has just started, and everyone hasn't arrived yet, and you want to cause division."

Du Yunkai pulled Wenxi over and said with a smile: "We are also a small group, so let's split up. Who is afraid of who?"

Wenxi pushed his hand and tried to rebel: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't have food to eat!"

The four were chatting when a "ding dong" sound came from the door, accompanied by the crisp barking of a dog.

Pengpeng, who was lying beside the sofa, stood up first and rushed over. He jumped up, pressed the door handle with his front paws and helped open the door.

Outside the door were Shen Xun and Tan Xueqing. Tan Xueqing was holding her Schnauzer, Coil.

Liu Wangxue once asked her why she gave the dog this name. She said that it was because the color of its fur was particularly like the unburned coal briquettes in the stove in her hometown when she was a child, a mixture of black, gray and white.

Shen Xun and Tan Xueqing had heard from Liu Wangxue that Pengpeng could open the door by itself, so they were quite surprised to see it with their own eyes. They greeted Pengpeng, praised it, and introduced Coal Ball to it.

Liu Wangxue and the other three also came over and helped them bring in their suitcases and gave them slippers.

After coming in, they chatted for a while, and then they saw Pengpeng and Meiqiu playing together. Tan Xueqing didn't see Xiaoci and Guagua, so she asked Liu Wangxue, "Didn't you bring them?"

Liu Wangxue told her that they were in the back garden. Tan Xueqing looked towards the French window and felt a little worried about her: "On the way here, I saw a forest behind here. They won't run around, will they?" If they are not careful, they might get lost and be hard to find.

Liu Wangxue said there was no need to worry, and called Peng Peng over and said to it, "Go call your two little brothers back to meet new friends."

After hearing this, Pengpeng ran to the back garden, and Meiqiu followed behind him.

Tan Xueqing was very envious: "My coal ball can't understand what I say."

Shen Xun, who was talking to other people, saw this and comforted her: "Don't be envious, it's enough that Coal Ball is cute."

As they were talking, the doorbell rang again. It was Han Zhenhao and Duan Yue who arrived. Everyone went to greet them. In addition to two suitcases, they were also carrying large and small bags of food. Everyone took them and helped carry them into the house.

When Han Zhenhao and Duan Yue changed their shoes and came in hand in hand, the bags had already been placed on the dining table.

Han Zhenhao and Duan Yue divided the packages together and said, "These are all bought by Yueyue. She looked at the map and thought this place is a bit remote and worried that it would be difficult to buy things here, so we stopped by the supermarket on the way here to buy a little bit. There are also some cooked food that Yueyue made herself, which can be used as a side dish for lunch later."

What a coincidence! After Liu Wangxue and the others praised Duan Yue, they talked about their lunch plans.

Duan Yue was a very straightforward girl. She rolled up her sleeves and started working as soon as she heard it: "That's great. Leave lunch to me. I'll make sure everyone is well fed and well-drinking!"

Of course, we couldn't just leave it to her, so we all started working together, discussing what to make while washing and preparing the vegetables. It was almost time, and with so many people, there would be more dishes to cook, so we had to hurry, otherwise we would definitely be hungry.

When the fire on the stove was lit and the first dish was being fried, everyone noticed that Ni Jia and Lou Rui had not arrived yet. Liu Wangxue took the opportunity of peeling garlic to send a voice message to their group to ask a question.

As soon as I sent the message, Lou Rui replied. He was just about to make a phone call to say that he was on the cross-river bridge and there was an accident ahead, so the road was temporarily blocked and he couldn't move.

Immediately afterwards, Ni Jia also replied, she was in the same situation as Lou Rui.

When everyone heard Liu Wangxue's retelling, they stopped what they were doing and asked questions. Liu Wangxue then made a group video call, and Lou Rui and Ni Jia picked up the call immediately. They started chatting first.

The two of them were the farthest from the recording location, and they set out earlier in the morning than Liu Wangxue and the other four, but unfortunately there was a serious traffic jam on a section of the road, which caused them to be delayed for a long time. There was a necessary cross-river bridge to get here, and their cars went up the bridge one after the other, about a few dozen meters apart. Not long after they walked, they saw that the cars in front of them all turned on the red lights and stopped.

The car was stuck in traffic for a long time without knowing why, and then news came from the front that an accident occurred just before we got off the bridge. A car suddenly broke down in the middle of the road, causing several cars behind to rear-end each other.

Fortunately, no one was speeding, and when they saw the situation ahead was not right, they turned on the red light and stepped on the brakes in time, so a serious rear-end collision was avoided and no one was injured. Now they are just waiting for the traffic police to deal with the situation and tow away the stranded car.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as long as no one was injured.

It would definitely take some time to handle the accident, and the cross-river bridge was more than half an hour's drive from here. When Lou Rui and Ni Jia heard that everyone was already cooking, they told everyone to eat first and not wait for them.

Xu Qingsong said to them, "Since the accident is not serious, it shouldn't take too long to handle. Don't worry, safety comes first. We have a few hard dishes to prepare, and it will probably take a while before we can start eating. Take your time, I'll wait for you."

Others nearby also said yes and told Ni Jia and Lou Rui to drive slowly.

The stir-fry can be cooked quickly, but it will take time if there are a lot of them. The braised pork needs to be simmered slowly, and the fish head and tofu soup also needs to be cooked slowly. In addition, Han Zhenhao also bought several kilograms of fresh crayfish, which is also a big project to handle. The staple food is rice, and Duan Yue also wants to make braised noodles for everyone, which also requires a lot of steps.

Finally, as Xu Qingsong said, when Ni Jia and Lou Rui arrived, all the dishes had just been served on the table, and the braised noodles made by Duan Yue were also out of the pot.

No need to be polite. After Liu Wangxue and Tan Xueqing fed the four little ones, everyone washed their hands and went to the table to eat. (End of this chapter)
