Just as Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi were lying on the big bed with Lin Mingqi’s hard-earned money and listening to classical music, there was a different scene in the next room 201.
Deng Li took her son Xiaojun and walked quietly along the long corridor, pushed open the half-open door of Room 201, and slipped into Li Yunhua’s room.
With a “click”, the door closed tightly.
Li Yunhua was instructing Xiu Ziheng on his summer homework. When she saw them coming in, she stood up from her desk and said, “Ziheng, you and Xiaojun should watch TV for a while. Mom and Aunt Deng have something to talk about.”
When Xiu Ziheng heard that he could watch TV, he immediately threw away his pen, cheered, and went around looking for the remote control.
Room 201 is a suite, with a bedroom and a small reception room. Li Yunhua had tried it before Deng Li came, and the soundproofing was pretty good.
The mothers entered the reception room, and Xiu Ziheng turned on the TV and searched for Marvel comics.
”Watch Guardians of the Galaxy.” Xiaojun pointed at the movies that appeared on the search page and said the name of a movie he wanted to watch.
Xiu Ziheng glanced at him and said, “I don’t want to play with you, so don’t talk to me.”
”Why?”
”Don’t you know why?” Xiu Ziheng asked back, “You actually put the food you licked into Xixi’s bowl. It’s disgusting.”
Xiaojun blinked and said, “What’s the big deal? My mom also eats food that my uncle has licked.”
”Who is your uncle?”
Xiaojun thought about it and shook his head, “I don’t know him.”
Liar! Xiu Ziheng thought to himself, and then he said to Xiaojun, “You still lifted the girl’s skirt. Didn’t the teacher tell you? This is not allowed!”
”That’s not the case.” Xiaojun tried to defend himself, “At that time, a leaf fell from Xixi’s leg. When I saw it, it was covered by my skirt. I wanted to take the leaf out.”
”Really?”
”If I lied to you, I’m a dog!”
In the minds of four or five-year-old children, the curse “I’m a dog if you lie” is absolutely phenomenal and trustworthy. When Xiaojun said this, Xiu Ziheng believed him immediately.
”Then let’s watch Guardians of the Galaxy,” Xiu Ziheng said. This was exactly the movie he wanted to watch.
Li Yunhua lit up a ladies’ cigarette and took a deep puff. She raised her slender phoenix eyes and glanced at Deng Li, who was lighting the cigarette while blocking the wind with her hand.
”Xiao Shu’s watch should be real. I have a hunch.” Li Yunhua exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly.
Deng Li’s hand paused, the flame almost burned her fingers, the cigarette was lit, she turned off the lighter and shook her hands.
Li Yunhua went on to say, “I was careless in this matter. I shouldn’t have posted that update when things were not 100% certain. Embarrassment is inevitable.”
Deng Li narrowed her eyes and exhaled a puff of white smoke from her lips. Deng Li didn’t care whether Li Yunhua or Gu Qianjing got the watch. It would be best if the two of them fought to the death.
Li Yunhua asked again, “Have you settled down the nutritionist named He Chun?”
Deng Li finally nodded and said, “I gave her some money and sent her abroad as my cousin. Don’t worry, Lin Mingqi has been looking for “He Chun” recently, but he can’t find any information about her.”
Li Yunhua brought the thin white cigarette to his lips, “Well done.”
After a pause, she continued, “You are not stupid, so why do you have to act like a fool on the show?”
Deng Li rolled her eyes and let out a helpless smile on her red lips, “Sister, I’m 29 years old this year. If I don’t become famous now, I’ll have no chance. Even if I’m not famous enough, I have to become famous.”
”Oh, right.” She paused with the cigarette at her lips, “The supporting actress role in the comedy film directed by James…”
”Got it.” Li Yunhua impatiently put out his cigarette, “I’ll tell the director after this recording is over.”
James is an internationally renowned comedy director. At the beginning of the year, he approached Li Yunhua about the script and wanted to invite her to play the leading role in the comedy “Big Hands, Small Hands”.
Li Yunhua has won numerous awards in China, but has had little influence internationally. If she could star in James’ new drama, it would definitely be an excellent opportunity to enter the international film industry.
But James was too cautious. He went through the script countless times but never finalized the contract.
Of course, Li Yunhua would not tell Deng Li that the contract had not been confirmed yet, and Li Yunhua herself was confident that James was looking for a Chinese film queen and the role belonged to her. She would then arrange a small supporting role for Deng Li, just like Deng Li’s participation in “A Different Mom” was just a word from Li Yunhua.
Deng Li raised her rosy lips and said, “Thank you, Teacher Li.”
Two hours after Deng Li questioned Xiao Shu for wearing a fake watch, Daisy Jewelry promptly released a message:
[From now on, the entire Daisy line will be endorsed by Ms. Gu Qianjing. We look forward to spending the next spring and autumn with Ms. Gu. We also hope that Lin Shufeng will like the children’s positioning watch that Daisy gave him. @Gu Qianjing]
The picture below the official announcement of Daisy is a still of Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu in the program “Different Moms”. Daisy didn’t even have time to take product photos before the official announcement.
Apart from the incident where Gu Qianjing was questioned and Daisy was trying to make up for Gu Qianjing, this hasty update made people feel more like Daisy was afraid of something. Was someone threatening to buy them out from behind?
Gu Qianjing slept surprisingly soundly on the first night in Ankang. She was woken up by Xiaoshu again the next morning. When she woke up, toothpaste was already squeezed on the sink in the bathroom.
Netizens had been waiting in the live broadcast room for a long time.
[Xiao Shu, I haven’t seen you for one night. I miss you so much!]
[Sister Qian was indeed called by me, Shu. Little Shu even squeezes toothpaste for her mother. Who wouldn’t be envious of a mother whose kid can do this? ]
【Did everyone see Daisy’s official announcement last night? It’s so satisfying, so satisfying! 】
[Because of Qianjie’s endorsement, I decided to change my wedding ring to a daisy one. I hope to meet a good marriage like her, and the key is to give birth to a baby as cute as Xiaoshu. ]
Compared to the liveliness on Gu Qianjing’s side, the comment section of Li Yunhua’s live broadcast room was much quieter. Everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the matter of Daisy. As fans, they didn’t want to rub salt into Li Yunhua’s wounds.
But I couldn’t resist the excitement of other netizens.
[Who swore yesterday that Xiaoshu’s watch was fake? I just want to ask you if your face hurts now? ]
[How badly you scolded Qianjie yesterday, how badly you will be slapped in the face today. ]
[“I bet on your head. Gu Qianjing definitely bought a fake.” Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter! Hand me your head! ]
[Deng Li, get out and apologize to Sister Qian, otherwise Sister Qian’s fans will not give up and will sue you for slander! ]
After Daisy’s official announcement, Li Yunhua’s agent informed her that Daisy had terminated her contract and that her contract with Daisy was about to expire. According to the contract, Daisy had the right to sign other endorsement contracts three months before the expiration of the contract.
In other words, Daisy did not need to pay a penny of liquidated damages for the termination of the contract, and Li Yunhua could only swallow this loss.
The system in Li Yunhua’s body sensed her suppressed anger and reminded her at the right time, “Host, please pay attention to your emotional control and don’t lose your composure during the live broadcast.”
”Know!”
Li Yunhua is different from Deng Li. Deng Li is the kind of person who doesn’t care if she is criticized or not, but Li Yunhua’s ultimate goal is Lin Mingqi, or the Lin Group. She can’t just fail because of a children’s watch.
After a sleepless night, when she opened her eyes again, Li Yunhua felt very unwilling in her heart, but on the surface she was still the dignified and decent movie queen.
Before the mothers earn their first day’s wages, the program team will provide free food, but it is much simpler than yesterday, with only dumplings, soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast.
After breakfast, Teacher Guo came to pick up the children in a school bus painted like a van.
Xiao Shu’s big eyes were shining brightly. He couldn’t wait to stand at the door of the B&B with his small schoolbag on his back and look out. When he saw the school bus with cartoon patterns coming, Xiao Shu excitedly waved wildly to his friends in the garden.
Hurry up, it’s time to go to school!
Why aren’t you excited? It’s like going to school!
Really going to school!
The rest of the children had already been in school for several years and were already experienced. Even Xiao Ju had been in kindergarten for a year. Naturally, they were not interested in seeing the school bus. Everyone was even a little puzzled as to why Xiaoshu was so enthusiastic about such a boring thing as going to school.
After saying goodbye to their mothers, the children climbed into the van and sat down.
Sharp-eyed netizens discovered that Xiao Ju and Xixi were both wearing pants today, and even their tops were covered tightly.
[Why are Deng Li and her son still here? Something like that happened yesterday, and the production team still has no explanation.]
[Girls no longer wear skirts to prevent perverts. Why? It’s the boys who are doing the wrong thing.]
[Please ask the program team to look at public opinion. Is it really okay not to deal with this kind of thing? ]
However, the online scolding did not change anything. After the children were picked up by the school bus, the mothers also got on the sightseeing bus from yesterday and were sent to the silver shop by the program crew to learn how to make silver jewelry.
In the studio in the backyard of the silver shop, Boss Liang has been working for more than two hours. The day of the Ankang craftsmen starts before dawn. Craftsmen hammering silver on the roadside can be seen everywhere on the old street. When they see the sightseeing bus, they all look up and greet us enthusiastically.
”Are you here? Have you eaten yet?”
“Come on!”
The endless sense of human fireworks can be expressed in the greetings.
After the mothers came in, Boss Liang put down his work and prepared to teach them the filigree technique they were going to learn today.
Because it was not a formal class, the mothers each brought a bench and sat around the teacher, and it was considered a simple class.
This was the first time that Boss Liang, who had been single all his life, was surrounded by so many women, all of whom were top-notch beauties. He was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke.
”Today… today… we are going to learn…” The shy boss Liang said several times before he could get his words straight. “Today we are going to learn the first step of filigree inlay, filigree.”
Boss Liang pulled out a piece of white paper from the table, picked up a pencil with a very sharp tip, and started drawing on the white paper.
His fingers were obviously very thick, and there were thin calluses on the fingertips from years of hand-made work, but that ordinary pencil seemed to have magical powers in his hands. Extremely fine lines slowly poured out, forming all kinds of exquisite totems on the white paper.
After drawing the pattern, Boss Liang looked up, and when he saw the group of beautiful girls sitting in front of him, he became nervous again.
He looked away, picked up a roll of silver thread from the shelf where materials were placed, and explained to the mothers, “This is flat thread. You need to wind this silver thread onto the pattern I just drew.”
After saying this, Boss Liang held the silk in his left hand, and used a pair of tweezers to guide the direction of the flat silk, flying it over the totem he had just drawn.
The man’s big hands with thin calluses became very dexterous, and he quickly copied a silver thread totem from the totem.
The video of Boss Liang demonstrating the filigree technique was given a close-up. Seeing this, netizens in the live broadcast room were also envious.
[Boss Liang is so handsome. It turns out that men who work hard are the most attractive. ]
[Boss Liang, do you want to accept apprentices? If you do, I will resign immediately and go to work for Boss Liang.]
[Filigree inlay is a national intangible cultural heritage. This episode is really well done and very meaningful! ]
After Mr. Liang finished his demonstration, he looked at the mothers who were still standing still, somewhat at a loss. He coughed twice in embarrassment.
”Everyone go practice on your own. Um…please make way. I need to go out.”
Apprentice mothers, “…” Is this all you have to teach?
Boss Liang was even more embarrassed. “I’m not very good at teaching you. Anyway, you guys should try to do it by yourselves first. If you have any questions, just ask me.”
Since the teachers said so, the mothers dispersed, each took paper, pen, silver thread and other tools, found a workbench, sat down and started practicing.
Perhaps because they found the task more difficult than they had imagined, Gu Qianjing, Lu Yi, and Li Yunhua all chose to sit on the first floor, which was more convenient for studying.
Deng Li thought the first floor was too stuffy, so she chose a seat near the window on the second floor.
Liu Zhizi also chose the second floor, but she didn’t like comfort, but liked quietness. The first floor was not only crowded, but also connected to shops, with many people coming and going, so the second floor was much quieter.
In a primary school not far from the silver shop, the children were pleasantly surprised to find that taking classes here was very interesting.
