Chapter 150: Whose Child Is This? [First Update]

As the program host and the representative village belle of the show, Ni Qiqin naturally shouldered the task of interacting with the guests by distributing mission cards.

Because she was utterly fond of Qin Haiyu’s baby, she squatted down while handing out the mission card and said, "Little darling, Sister here has a mission card for you. Come and get it, won't you?"

The baby looked curiously at her mom and dad, having no idea what this weird auntie was talking about, knowing only that she seemed to want her to go over and get something.

Yu Zhile rubbed his daughter’s head and said, "Go ahead. This is the host auntie, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Ni Qiqin: "..."

You're the auntie!

Knowing that her husband was doing it on purpose, Qin Haiyu added with a smile, "Remember to say 'Thank you, Auntie' when you take the thing from her!"

Ni Qiqin: "..."

This couple is so atrocious!

The baby nodded obediently, took a few cautious and timid steps forward, and then looked back at her parents, her eyes filled with hesitation.

Yu Zhile waved his hand and said, "It's fine, the host auntie is not the Big Bad Wolf. Go ahead!"

Auntie was fine, but what on earth was this about the Big Bad Wolf now?

So the reason the baby ignored her and dared not come over was because, in her eyes, she was the Big Bad Wolf?

Ni Qiqin’s heart ached. Why did the universally adored village belle turn into a universally feared local tyrant in the eyes of a little child?

With a flash of inspiration, she pulled out two candies and said, "Auntie has candies too. Do you want them?"

Taking three steps while looking back once, and under the watchful eyes of her parents, the baby carefully walked over, snatched the two candies from the weird auntie’s hand, and then quickly turned and ran back.

Ni Qiqin: "..."

Auntie, am I really that scary?

Helplessly, she said, "Baby, you haven't taken the mission card yet!"

At this moment, Yu Zhile walked over, picked up his daughter to collect the mission card, and said, "She still doesn't understand a lot of words and doesn't know what a mission card means, so she just ignored it."

Qin Haiyu chimed in, "Baby, Auntie gave you candies, but you haven't thanked Auntie yet!"

Lowering her head, the baby said in her cute, milky voice with her chubby little mouth, "Xian-ku, An-ni..."

Another sentence with mispronounced words!

However, they all understood!

Ni Qiqin adored this little darling to pieces. It was the first time she had been called an auntie by someone, and yet her heart felt so warm and so delightful!

Unable to help herself, she reached out to stroke the little cutie's head, wearing an expression overflowing with maternal love, and pleaded with her eyes, "The baby is too cute. Can I give you a kiss?"

Yu Zhile asked, "The host auntie wants to give the baby a kiss. Will the baby let Auntie kiss her?"

The baby did not reply. Staring at the two candies clutched in her little hand, she shook her little head and buried her face straight into her father’s shoulder, as if she wanted to hide.

"Village belle, it seems your affinity with children is a failure!"

Yu Zhile couldn't help laughing. He glanced at the production crew members outside and saw Yang Bing watching with great relish, his eyes glued to Ni Qiqin as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

You still have a long way to go!

Yu Zhile sighed inwardly. Old Yang wanting to pursue Ni Qiqin was no easy feat. After all, Ni Qiqin possessed great looks, financial stability, and a successful career. Women like her remained single not because no one pursued them, but because their standards were too high, making it difficult to find an ideal partner.

Having suffered a setback with the baby, Ni Qiqin pitied herself for three seconds, and in the end, she could only reluctantly carry the mission card off to the next household to seek solace from another child.

Looking at the mission card, Yu Zhile said, "Wife, what we'll be eating tonight entirely depends on what the baby buys back for us!"

"What do you mean?"

Qin Haiyu leaned over to take a look at the mission card, then let out a sigh of relief and said, "Good thing this task doesn't require any brainpower; otherwise, if we relied on the baby, we might end up drinking northwest wind tonight!"

"Wife, what you said isn't right! Our baby is very smart, okay?" Yu Zhile put the baby down and said, "I believe the baby will definitely complete the task and bring back a whole bunch of ingredients!"

Qin Haiyu smiled and said, "Look at the baby's blank and adorable expression. She has no idea what's going on right now!"

Yu Zhile squatted down and said, "Baby, Daddy's tummy is hungry. Will you go out with the older brothers and sisters later to buy food for Daddy?"

The baby nodded and replied, "Okay~"

Yu Zhile smiled. "See, how simple this task is! The baby understood as soon as she heard it!"

Qin Haiyu also squatted down and said, "Mommy's tummy is hungry too. When the baby buys the groceries back, Mommy will cook them for you to eat, okay?"

The baby nodded: "Okay~"

With that, she handed the candies in her hand to her mother and said in a milky voice, "Eat candy."

Qin Haiyu took the candy and rewarded her, saying, "The baby wants to eat candy? Mommy will unwrap it for you. After you finish the candy, go with the older brothers and sisters to buy groceries, okay?"

Yu Zhile took the other candy from the baby's hand, stuffed it into her little pants pocket, and said, "Save this candy and eat it after the baby buys the groceries back for Daddy and Mommy, okay?"

Eating the soft candy her mother had popped into her mouth, the baby nodded obediently, successfully remembering the task just like that.

A moment later, Ni Qiqin brought the other three children over. Qin Haiyu led the baby out and said, "When buying groceries, you have to give money. Daddy and Mommy are waiting at home, so the baby will go with the three older brothers and sisters to buy groceries, okay?"

Clutching a twenty-yuan bill and holding a small basket, the baby walked two steps and stopped, seeming afraid to go by herself.

At this point, a celebrity actress named Luo Jiajia said to her daughter, "Yaya, go with younger sister to buy food and bring it back for your parents. Younger sister is still small, so take good care of her!"

Led by her mother, the little girl named Yaya walked over. Qin Haiyu also pulled her daughter forward and said, "Baby, will you go buy groceries with Sister Yaya?"

Feeling somewhat more at ease, the baby nodded her little head and replied in a soft, adorable voice, "Okay~"

Thus, because Zhou Jian's and Zhang Qingsong's sons knew each other, the two boys walked together, successfully carrying their little baskets to buy groceries.

Guided by Yaya, the baby also set off smoothly with her little basket. However, she had not walked even a few meters when the twenty-yuan bill clutched in her little hand dropped onto the path. Xu Ling, who had been following closely behind to supervise and escort the baby for Yu Zhile and his wife, picked it up and stuffed it into her own pocket.

She wanted to see how the baby would manage to buy groceries without any money.

Meanwhile, at the banyan tree at the village entrance, many elderly villagers, uncles, and aunties had brought out their agricultural produce to set up stalls and sell them on the spot.

This small farmers' market had been arranged by the production crew because the villagers usually went to a market a few kilometers away to buy food, and for the convenience of filming, it was obviously impossible to let the children travel that far.

However, the vendors were all locals from the village, and the produce they sold was home-grown. The chickens, ducks, fish, and pork had been sourced from a regular market to ensure they were fresh and safe.

Because the production crew was large—with the medical team, security team, production team, and others totaling over two hundred people—the agricultural produce currently being sold by the villagers would all be bought out by the production crew after the children finished shopping, to supply everyone's meals.

Before long, Yaya pulled the baby along as they arrived at the village entrance.

At this moment, Zhang Qingsong's son was acting up again. The kid hadn't come here to buy groceries; he was here to cause trouble.

For the task assigned by the production crew, each family was only given twenty yuan in cash, so the items they could buy were quite limited. Zhang Qingsong's son looked like he had been spoiled rotten and pampered all his life. Consequently, seeing fish, he wanted to buy fish; seeing swamp eels, he wanted to buy swamp eels. In the end, his twenty yuan was completely squandered, and now Ni Qiqin was telling him that he was out of money and could not buy anything else.

He immediately looked on the verge of tears and threw a tantrum, shouting, "I want this!"

If Ni Qiqin's favorite child in the show was Qin Haiyu's baby, then Zhang Qingsong's son, Zhang Doudou, was definitely the child she loathed the most!

She actually wanted to spank this disobedient, unruly brat!

At that moment, the baby came over to join in the excitement. She curiously and happily stretched out her little finger and said, "Fishie!"

The granny selling fish immediately became enthusiastic and asked with a benevolent smile, "Little doll, do you want to buy a fish? This one is quite big, do you want it?"

The baby nodded, and the granny began weighing the fish, saying, "One catty and six taels. I'll just charge you twenty yuan."

She placed the fish into the basket the baby was holding, and then held out her hand, asking the baby for the money.

The baby lowered her head to look at her little hands, seeming to recall her mother's words that she had to give money when buying groceries, but now, where had that money gone?

Therefore, the baby dug into her pants pocket, pulled out the candy, handed it to the fish-selling granny, and said, "Money."

This scene made quite a few people burst into laughter!

The granny selling fish was also amused!

Whose child was this?

Bullying an old woman by failing to tell the difference between candy and money!
