(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {90+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)
[Ahhh, the program crew, you are **, right? How did you take protective measures? ]
[Is my baby okay? Please don’t let anything happen to you! ]
[I give up. This is the trick that the production team came up with. They had to go into the water to catch fish. The water is so cold. My body is cold! ]
[Um, everyone can go in the water, but your family can’t? And the temperature is so high today, the water temperature is not that cold]
[That’s right, if you can’t make this much money, don’t come. I hate it when you always market yourself as being cold and weak and how dedicated you are. There’s nothing shameful about making money, there’s no need to play the victim.]
Shu Yuan fainted?
Chu Rong put on her socks with the mentality of watching melons, and looked towards the middle of the lake. There were staff there who would not let Shu Yuan fall into the water.
Now there are three or four tall and strong staff members surrounding Shu Yuan, probably adjusting the posture to salvage her.
”Mom, there are so many fish, you are so great!” Fu Yu looked into the bamboo basket. The fish inside were still alive, and the bamboo basket jumped up and down when he stirred it.
Fu Yu reached out and touched it. It was a little slippery.
”Damn, I didn’t catch a single fish!” He Huan walked over barefoot, holding up her skirt, and sat down next to Chu Rong. The lakeside was covered with pebbles, and Chu Rong felt pain just watching He Huan’s movements.
”How come you came up here if you weren’t caught?” Chu Rong asked, “This affects our living conditions at night.”
He Huan said reluctantly: “Of course I know, Ge Yinyu and her son have already caught four, I don’t need to help.” Moreover, Ge Yinyu thought that she would scare the fish away if she stood there, so she had to drive her up. He Huan was so angry that she had no place to vent, and she had no choice but to go ashore.
Chu Rong smiled and said, “Then you have to thank Sister Yinyu very much.”
He Huan squeezed the water from her skirt and said, “Tsk.”
”So now we just have to wait for the results?” Chu Rong supported her hands behind her back, watching the three little kids surrounding the bamboo basket and looking at the fish with satisfaction.
”Just wait until the timer ends. There are still a few minutes left.” He Huan sat cross-legged. “I really want to take a bath quickly. Hey, how many did you catch?”
”Four.”
”Wow, that’s amazing.” He Huan sighed, “Shu Yuan is lucky, right? Two adults, if each of them catches one, they’ll pass.”
Chu Rong was not too relieved. “Not necessarily, you can’t catch any…” She did think that it would be no problem for Shu Yuan or Hao Hanyun to catch two fish, but with He Huan’s living example in front of her, Chu Rong suddenly doubted herself: Shu Yuan just fainted, what if she didn’t catch enough? You can’t put your hopes on others.
”Or I should go down and catch two more.”
He Huan raised an eyebrow: “Huh? What for?”
”What if Shu Yuan is not enough?” Then won’t we have no place to sleep at night?
He Huan rolled her eyes, “Then what does her sister-in-law do for a living? She’s not without arms and legs.”
Chu Rong was not ignorant of this, but she was always worried when the remaining 20 points of the 60-point test were in someone else’s hands. If Shu Yuan really failed to complete the task, wouldn’t she, Fu Nian and Fu Yu be left with nothing?
”Time limit.”
Yang Shu didn’t give Chu Rong time to think and directly announced the end.
”Dear kids, can you please bring over the fish you caught? Let me check and see if they are up to standard?” Yang Shu clapped her hands and placed a large basin in front of her, motioning for the children to pour the fish from the bamboo baskets into it.
The first to come forward was Xu Bulan. They had seven fish, three more than the passing standard.
”Wow, that’s great, Bu Lan, did you and your mother catch this?” Yang Shu loudly counted the fish one by one, “I didn’t expect that the first group would get so many. The families behind are a bit stressed, right?”
Xu Bulan pursed his lips and thanked him, “Mom caught two.”
”Oh my god, that kid Xu Bulan caught five?” Yang Shu praised, “That’s amazing! I’m far behind Bulan.”
Yang Shu’s praise did not have much impact on Xu Bulan. He returned to his mother with a calm expression.
Lu Chunxie and Song Qiqi from the second group didn’t catch that many, and they barely caught six, just enough to pass the passing line.
”They are also very good!” Yang Shu praised Lu Chunxie’s twin daughters and Song Qiqi’s son generously, “The six fish are big and fat, they must be delicious!”
The last group was Chu Rong. Shu Yuan hadn’t recovered yet and was lying in the rest area. Hao Hanyun was also there taking care of her. No one brought Shu Yuan’s bamboo basket or anything like that, so Chu Rong could only bite the bullet and walk up to hand over the four fish in her bamboo basket.
”Hmm? Are these all?” Yang Shu counted them. “Are there any more?”
”The others should be with Shu Yuan.” Chu Rong said uncertainly, “We haven’t had time to communicate yet.”
Yang Shu nodded, “Unfortunately, your group failed.”
”Ah?” Chu Rong was mentally prepared, “How many are left?” Is it too late for her to catch them in the lake now?
Yang Shu smiled: “There are still two more to go.”
Chu Rong: “…” So it was really like the worst case scenario she imagined, that Shu Yuan and He Huan were the same and didn’t catch any fish?
”Shu Yuan didn’t get anything.” Yang Shu spread his hands, “So there are only these four.”
”Can it be salvaged?” Chu Rong pointed at the lake, “I’ll catch two more now.”
Yang Shu smiled and said, “Sorry, no, this is the final result.”
”Okay.” Chu Rong was nervous, not knowing what kind of houses the unqualified families would get.
[What? I have to sleep outdoors every night? Why?]
[Isn’t this way of calculating the results a bit tricky? If one person gives up, won’t the other person suffer as well? ]
[This is what the program team stipulates. If you have any questions, please contact the program team. My family is not in a bad state. It is a physical problem.]
[No one is saying that you are a bad team, you are just complaining about the rules. Why are you in such a hurry to find shoes to wear? ]
[Hahahaha, I found my seat]
[Feeling sorry for Chu Rong and Nian Nian]
[What’s there to feel bad about? It’s all her fault. If she had caught enough by herself like Ge Yinyu, would she need help from others?]
[You are right, that is indeed the case, so what is your shu shu doing here? If she is not needed, she should just get out of here. How dare her fans praise her for her professionalism every day? Their values are really determined by their appearance.]
[Shu fans are so good at shirking responsibility that even five-star chefs feel ashamed. They can’t even shirk responsibility as well as you guys]
[Wow, the production crew, please be nicer to our Nian Nian Xiao Yu. Seeing Xiao Yu’s big, sparkling eyes, how could you bear to tease him?]
”According to the ranking, the first place today is He Huan and Ge Yinyu. You can live in the luxurious tile house in the village!” Yang Shu then announced the rewards and punishments. “The second place can live in the exquisite mud house in the village.”
”As the last person, you can only sleep in a simple but nice room with a view of the sky for now.”
Sky view room?
Chu Rong had a bad feeling in her heart.
Yang Shu gave the first and second place winners the key, and came to Chu Rong. “The Sky View Room is more open, and there are no keys. Next, please go to your own room and rest with your babies.”
Don’t you even have a key?
Chu Rong’s bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, until the moment she saw the so-called “Sky View Room”, Chu Rong’s expression could no longer be suppressed.
What is this? What is this!
The simplicity of this small house in front of me cannot be described as bare walls, because it only has three walls, and there is a big hole in one of the three walls, which seems to be a cosplay window.
The most important thing is that this house has no roof! When you look up, you can see the sky. No wonder it is called a sky view house!
There were only a few pieces of grass on it, so it could run away when the wind blew.
An ancient poem emerged in Chu Rong’s mind: The autumn wind howled in August, blowing away the three layers of thatch on my roof.
Blanch! The production team really went too far this time!
Chu Rong’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly, “Will I catch a cold if I stay in this house for one night?”
The cameraman didn’t dare to say anything. It was all the director’s bad idea. He originally wanted to create a program effect, but he didn’t expect that the program effect would fall on Chu Rong.
The director doesn’t want to offend Chu Rong, but he hasn’t given any instructions yet, and other staff members of the program team don’t dare to act on their own.
Fu Nian whispered, “I brought two thick coats in my schoolbag. It will be better to put them on at night.”
He is a child with a strong sense of rules, or in other words, he has a strong sense of contract. He feels that his mother has signed a contract, which means he will be bound by the contract.
A contract is a promise and should not be violated casually.
”But it’s so hot, why do you have to wear a thick coat, brother?” The sun was strong now, and Fu Yu was so hot that he stuck out his tongue. When he heard his brother say that he had brought thick clothes, he subconsciously resisted, “I don’t want to wear thick clothes, brother.”
Chu Rong’s eyes could hardly be opened due to the sunburn. “Let’s go in first.” It’s better to have something than nothing.
[Oh my god, there really is no one on the production team. It must be difficult to find this house, right? ]
[It’s actually quite normal. Qibapo is a very poor village and has been the focus of poverty alleviation for many years.]
[Not to mention the air leakage, just the area, how can six people live in such a small house? ]
[Switch to Shu Yuan, who has been transferred to the village clinic because of illness, so she doesn’t compete with Chu Rong for a place]
[What? What a bullshit excuse? She failed to complete her mission and caused Chu Rong’s family to live in such a place, but she ended up sleeping comfortably in the room?]
[Not feeling comfortable… Shu Yuan’s face turned pale, feeling really uncomfortable]
[Who cares about you? Shu fans, get the point straight. One of you fished halfway but didn’t catch any fish, while the other one was leisurely watching on the shore. In the end, the two adults in your family didn’t catch any fish, but they completed more than half of the task and were forced to live in the ‘Sky View Room’ because of you. But your master, after living in a nice house, still doesn’t forget to come and complain about her misery. she’s taking advantage and still acting like a good kid.]
[I can’t do this. I’m so mad.]
[The production team should plan the rules first. The bug in the rules for today’s group is too obvious. It’s simply unbearable.]
In any case, after a tiring day, Chu Rong, Fu Nian and Fu Yu still moved into the Tianjing Room. Because the temperature was high during the day and not much heat dissipated at night, they felt quite comfortable lying in the room with drafts everywhere.
The big bed in this house was made of mud and covered with thick hay, which was quite comfortable to sleep on.
Fu Nian and Fu Yu were both children who could endure hardships. They were not dissatisfied with sleeping in a house with such conditions. Instead, they were so happy about the novel experience that they couldn’t sleep.
As usual, they lay on Chu Rong’s left and right sides, chatting intermittently.
”Mom, the stars are so bright.” Fu Yu pointed to the dark blue sky that could be seen at a glance, “Twinkling.”
”It’s very bright, just like the eyes of a fish.” Chu Rong replied lazily.
”Dad hasn’t called us for a long time.” Fu Yu looked at the stars and suddenly thought of Fu Ruhui. When people look at the starry sky, it seems easy to evoke longing. “I miss Dad very much. Doesn’t Dad miss me?”
Fu Ruhui had indeed not called for a long time, ever since he said he would return home early.
Chu Rong thought about it. Every time, it was Fu Ruhui who took the initiative to call. Should she also take the initiative to call and express her condolences to the big boss? Besides, the two children hadn’t contacted their father for a long time, so they must miss him.
It is now half past nine in the evening, and it should be afternoon for Fu Ruhui.
Chu Rong held the phone, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to make a video call.
It would not be good for Fu Ruhui to see this terrible environment.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Chu Rong looked at the interface that started counting the call time and felt inexplicably nervous. She hadn’t spoken to the boss for so long that she even forgot how to greet Fu Ruhui.
Seven seconds into the call, the usual deep voice rang out from the other end of the line: “Hello?”
