When Sheng Xia spoke, the air around them suddenly fell silent for a moment, as if completely convinced by her words.
But one had to admit, there seemed to be some truth to what she said.
Bai Jing was the first to raise her hands in response. “I’ve learned, I’ve learned, Teacher Sheng. If you theirs more please continue!”
Hang Xuan, with his expressionless face, made a sharp comment. “Mom, you already treat yourself well enough. You’re probably the least qualified here to suddenly ‘see the light.'”
Bai Jing casually patted his head and snorted. “I think Aunt Xia Xia is right. It’s my first time being a mom, so why should I have to indulge you?”
Hang Xuan held his head, deeply sighing. “When have I not indulged you enough? Mom, please be more reliable.”
[Xuan Xuan: This group of adults is really hard to handle.]
[I really love seeing Xia Xia’s expression of bearing too much.]
[Among these kids, Xuan Xuan and Ran Ran seem to be the most mature, yet they don’t lack the innocence of children. Yue Yue is too sensible, to the point where it seems like she has no small emotions of her own, which makes people feel a bit sorry for her.]
This time, Yi Yangyang learned to be clever. Without waiting for Sheng Xia to call her name, she actively responded, “Aunt Xia Xia is right, absolutely right!”
Although Yi Fanfan didn’t understand, seeing his brother nodding vigorously, she thought they were playing a fun game and also nodded vigorously, laughing joyfully. The tense atmosphere around them was swept away in an instant.
After steadying his sister, who was almost knocked over, Yi Yangyang cleared his throat and turned to Tao Rou with a serious look, especially manly as he extended his hand. “At least during the show, let’s temporarily make peace, Mom.”
Seeing her stubborn and naughty son choose to cleverly approach Sheng Xia out of fear, Tao Rou was both amused and exasperated. She knew that Fan Fan, being young, would become close to her after spending some time together, but Yang Yang was different.
They had spent too little time together, so it was normal for Yang Yang to still harbor some resentment towards her. As long as he didn’t deliberately go against her and raise her blood pressure like before, she considered herself lucky.
So, she solemnly extended her hand and shook his. “You said it yourself, we’ll make peace for now. Don’t skip this afternoon’s study.”
[I’m laughing so hard. Yang Yang, can you please stop being so spineless? His survival instinct is off the charts!]
[Changing the game plan! Yang Yang: Every second of extra thought is a disrespect to life.]
[I seriously doubt that after this, the kids will tremble in fear at the mention of “Sheng Xia.” I really want to know how they see Sheng Xia.]
[But it must be admitted, Sheng Xia’s method is really effective. Not to mention indirectly promoting a reconciliation between Yang Yang and Tao Ying, even Ya Ya knows her mistakes and has become a bit more lovable. Just as she said, children actually understand everything, don’t underestimate them.]
[Indeed, while Le Chu Xin spoils her child, any slight dissatisfaction with her parenting turns her into a bad mother. However, Sheng Xia doesn’t mince words, and Ya Ya ends up considering apologizing. This segment is really educational and worth watching repeatedly.]
In the afternoon, the mothers continued to accompany their children in their studies.
After the commotion at lunchtime, everyone studied especially earnestly. Even Yi Yangyang, who couldn’t sit still while facing the wood, immediately sat up straight nervously when Tao Rou took out her phone, as if afraid that his mom would call the devil.
The twins had finished listening to stories and history in the morning and were now learning to control the shadow puppets and allocate lines.
Knowing that his sister preferred Sun Wukong, Feng Xuchen proactively handed the shadow puppet of Sun Wukong to her, with a bright smile. “I am the powerful Bull Demon King, and you are the even more powerful Sun Wukong!”
Feng Xuran had initially wanted to shake her head in modesty, but then he suddenly looked up and glanced at Sheng Xia.
Seeing Sheng Xia wink at her, Feng Xuran pursed her lips and smiled slightly. She took the Sun Wukong puppet from her brother’s hand, shook it in her hand, and blushed quietly.
Sheng Xia naturally received the shadow puppet of Princess Iron Fan. When it came to Feng Jingxu, Feng Xuchen hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly handed the banana fan to his brother, saying seriously, “Brother, you must treat it well.”
Feng Jingxu: “…” You really love your brother, thank you.
[Hahaha, in the eyes of the older brother, even Zhu Bajie is not worthy. He is only fit to be a mere banana fan!]
[Nonsense, the banana fan appears so frequently. Clearly, little Jingxu is standing up for his brother! Just look at how reluctantly he lets his brother take care of it (dog’s head).]
[You guys, I’ve thought about the saddest thing in my life over and over again, but I still can’t hold back my laughter. Damn it, this one smile might undo ten years of good deeds. Who has a wooden fish? Please lend it to me to knock on.]
[But I thought kids wouldn’t like the Bull Demon King. Kids really think differently from us. In Jingxu’s eyes, the Bull Demon King must be a very powerful character, right?]
Fortunately, the master promptly stopped his actions. The banana fan couldn’t be given to someone separately because it needed to be exchanged back and forth for the characters. Feng Xuchen reluctantly took back the banana fan, then hesitated for a long time, finally reluctantly handing the Zhu Bajie puppet to his brother.
Feng Jingxu couldn’t help but ask in silence, “Are you really that reluctant? Am I only worthy of holding props and not characters?”
Feng Xuran promptly held down her younger brother’s restless little head and explained seriously, “Master said that the banana fan is the treasure of Princess Iron Fan and the Bull Demon King, so Chen Chen chose to give the banana fan to older brother.”
[!!! Now, anyone who says Xuran isn’t Sheng Xia’s offspring, I’ll roll up my sleeves and fight them! This mouth definitely inherits from Sheng Xia. Look at how eloquent she is. Oh, Feng Jingxu’s mouth is about to stretch to the back of his ears!]
[Well, it’s not necessarily. Maybe it’s a talent? Sheng Xia might not be good at sweet talk, but she’s definitely good at being sharp-tongued. And Xuran, on the other hand, excels even more. They’ve both learned how to coax, no, make their brother happy. Ah, I mean, they’ve grown up!]
[I used to look down on underage idols for acting cool, but now I realize it’s just a way to cover up their empty heads. I’m sorry, brother, I was wrong. I haven’t seen such a clear brain that hasn’t been contaminated in a long time.]
For beginners, learning to manipulate shadow puppets is definitely a difficult task. Therefore, the master only let them hold one puppet at a time and taught them line by line.
Even Feng Jingxu was a bit flustered, not to mention the younger twins, who couldn’t handle the skill of multitasking, manipulating the puppet while reciting lines.
This is where Sheng Xia’s flexibility shines. She could not only manipulate both the banana fan and Princess Iron Fan at the same time but also recite Princess Iron Fan’s lines vividly. This won her the approving gaze of the master and the admiration of the audience.
[Although Sheng Xia always acts poorly on the show, she’s actually really good. It seems like there’s nothing she can’t do. Remembering back to when they were in the survival area, Sheng Xia could assemble a clock from parts in just a few minutes. Classic scene!]
[Having a mom who knows everything or can quickly learn anything, even if she doesn’t know, is really cool! Look at the adoring eyes of Jingxu and Xuran. Oh, at this moment, I really want to shout “Mom” too!]
Since children generally can’t sit still, they finished early around five o’clock.
The program team timely released a new task. Based on the children’s performance today, they would be ranked and given the ingredients fee for the evening’s dinner. The moms were responsible for today’s dinner, while the children were responsible for taking the money and buying the ingredients needed for dinner outside.
On the way back, the program team opened up the voting rights directly in the live broadcast room. During this period, the final ranking was selected through the audience’s votes.
The first place naturally went to Shi Yue, who was calm and serious, and especially understanding when wronged.
Sheng Lanqiu was unaware of the audience’s compensatory thoughts. She only showed a satisfied smile when she saw the final result and even high-fived with Shi Yue. Shi Yue’s eyes were shining, and he blushed a little under his mother’s encouraging gaze. Then, under Sheng Lanqiu’s guidance, he bowed to the camera and shyly thanked the audience.
The second place went to Hang Xuan, who had turned the rough bamboo into fine bamboo silk in just one day.
He was also the fastest learner among the children. Bai Jing not only failed to help but also inadvertently caused trouble, requiring Hang Xuan to remedy it promptly. This stark contrast made the audience couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly. This time, they truly saw a real genius child.
The twins were third because their progress wasn’t fast, and they couldn’t control the shadow puppets by the end of the day.
As for Yi Yangyang, who always couldn’t sit still and needed to be supervised by her younger sister Fan Fan, and Yin Qinya, who refused to learn ceramics in the morning and delayed the progress, naturally, they were the last two.
When Yin Qinya learned that she was the last, she didn’t get angry this time, just a little unwilling to accept it. She secretly glanced at Sheng Xia, then quickly took her mom’s hand, lifted her chin, and assured, “I will work hard tomorrow to try to win first place!”
Le Chuxin witnessed her daughter sincerely apologizing to the master, knowing that she was indeed repentant, and couldn’t help but show a relieved expression, gently saying, “Okay, I believe in Ya Ya.”
[Yin Qinya hasn’t been in the bottom before, right? It’s no wonder she’s unwilling to accept it, but this competitive and spirited side of her is actually quite cute.]
“Alright, have all the moms already assigned the ingredients that need to be purchased to the children?” Director Xu raised a megaphone. “After the children leave, moms can watch their progress through the camera during the waiting period.”
“I need to emphasize again that the program team will not prepare extra food for you tonight, so what the children buy will be your dinner for today.”
