Chapter 13

In order to quickly get his daughter away from her sorrow, Ji Mochen hurriedly caught up with the group ahead.

"Teacher Ji is here," Fan Hongru waved at Ji Mochen, and everyone immediately stopped.

Even Fan Jin and Lin Xindi, who had run quite a distance already, turned back when they heard the voice.

Beside them, Geng Zhenzhen's eyes lit up as she looked at Ji Ruochu and asked, "Ruochu, do you want to come down and join us?"

Seeing his daughter's lack of enthusiasm, Ji Mochen tentatively asked, "Ruochu, do you want to walk with your brothers and sisters?"

Still looking a little glum, Ji Ruochu turned her head to glance at the little beansprouts and then nodded gently, "Okay."

Once Ji Ruochu was put down, Mao Ziqing and Geng Zhenzhen immediately took one of her little hands on either side. The three little girls were all quite pretty, and at first glance they really looked like sisters, capturing people's gaze so that they couldn't look away.

Soon, the two little men who had been running wildly at the front also arrived.

"Sister Ruochu, you're awake!"

"Sister Ruochu, are you tired? Do you want me to give you a piggyback ride?"

"Sister Ruochu..."

The group of children were clearly treating the younger Ji Ruochu like a new toy, fussing over her the whole way. The viewers and five dads couldn't help but smile.

The children presented a very harmonious scene. The five dads also began to chat about parenting experiences.

"It's good that your Ruochu is here. Our Zhenzhen was upset for half the day because her beloved Barbie doll was taken away."

"Our Ziqing really treasures the model piano I gave her for her birthday."

"Haha, our little rascal was totally absorbed by all the interesting stuff in the yard. The staff came and went without him noticing a thing." Fan Hongru said sarcastically.

"I actually hope our Ruochu would throw a tantrum too. The little lass didn't even cry when her doll was taken away, just looked at it forlornly. It really tugs at the heartstrings," said Ji Mochen, still a little saddened by the memory.

"Don't worry, kids will cheer up when they get to play together. It'll only take a little while..."

And so, the five families chatted and laughed as they walked towards the village chief's home. They almost took a wrong turn at one point until Ji Mochen got them back on track, looking utterly familiar with the route. The viewers laughed at his "I know this road" expression.

"Hello, we meet again!" As soon as they stepped into the village chief's home, they were greeted.

"Chief!" The children chorused.

"Darlings! All the dads and kids must be tired from the journey. To welcome you, the program team has prepared a very sumptuous lunch!"

"Wow!" The five families played along very well. Even the somewhat dispirited Ji Ruochu clapped her hands. Finally, it was time to eat!

"But—" The village chief stopped everyone's cheers with an outstretched arm, "Before the meal, the village chief wants to play a little game with the kids." Huh? There's still a game?

The few dads had an "I knew it" expression.

"What's this called? A 'free lunch'?"

...

"Chief, what game is it?"

Unlike the adults' sarcasm, upon hearing there was a game to play, the little beansprouts were extremely delighted and hurriedly asked.

"It's a very simple game. I just want the darlings to describe the houses you just found."

Describe the houses?

"I believe some darlings have already noticed the very interesting items in your houses. So from now on, as long as you describe an object from your house, you'll get a dish of the delicious food the program team has prepared. How much food the dads and kids get to eat depends on the kids' memory.

There are twenty-five dishes in total today, so the game is divided into five rounds. In each round, as long as the darlings can name something special about their homes within ten seconds, you'll unlock a dish. But pay attention, you can't repeat."

Upon hearing this, Ji Mochen and his daughter were stunned speechless.

What was in the house?

How would they know?

[SOS, this question is way over the heads of the father-daughter pair who only reached the door!]

[Hahahaha.....The dumbfounded father-daughter duo has entered the chat.]

[Is anyone going to save them? I really feel bad for them.]

Soon, the game started. The village chief held a timer, "Begin!"

Mao Ziqing: "My room has a redwood bed!"

Lin Xindi: "On top of the bed there's a row of small drawer cabinets!"

Geng Zhenzhen: "In front of the bed there's a long footrest."

Fan Jin: "There are two huge stone lions at the entrance of our home!"

Ji Ruochu: ......

In an instant, everyone's gaze focused on Ji Ruochu's confused face.

"Only five seconds left!" The village chief reminded.

"Five."

"Four."

...

Seeing the time was almost up, Ji Ruochu, with a completely flustered expression, could only blurt out—

"The floor bricks are green."

Everyone: ??? "Really, the floor is actually green!" The little milk baby was very serious. "Chief, doesn't this count?"

"Uh..." Faced with the wet fox-like eyes of the little milk baby, the village chief said with difficulty, "I guess it counts..."

"Yay!" The children instantly cheered.

"I suggest letting Sister Ruochu go first. Otherwise when we've all finished she'll have nothing left to say, right?" Noticing the struggling Ji Ruochu from the corner of his eye, the self-proclaimed knight Fan Jin immediately suggested.

"That's right, let's let Sister Ruochu go first!"

With this suggestion, all the little buddies agreed unanimously.

Ji Ruochu, still racking her brains: ......Great suggestion, just don't make anymore suggestions next time.

"Alright, let's start the second round!"

At the village chief's signal, the 10 second countdown promptly began.

The four year old milk baby knitted her exquisite little brows, extremely conflicted.

The barrage in the livestream had already turned into a sea of joy. The social media heat was rapidly rising. Seeing the surge in viewership, the even more delighted director couldn't stop grinning.

"My home....has green grass."

Finally, just as the countdown ended, the little milk baby reluctantly said.

The few cute babies were instantly dumbfounded: That's it?

The barrage exploded with laughter.

...

"Okay, the third round is starting soon. Darlings remember, we have to talk about the different furniture or layouts of our homes." Before starting, the village chief reminded.

Needless to say, everyone knew who this reminder was aimed at. The little beansprouts all looked at Ji Ruochu worriedly.

"Start timing!"

"There are two red candles in my living room!"

"My home has......"

In the blink of an eye, it was Ji Ruochu's turn again.

"My home has...." What did it have?

Seeing the time was almost up again, a thought suddenly occurred to Ji Ruochu. She said firmly, "there are flower engraved door sills!"

Huh?

This surprised everyone. Door sills with flower engravings?

Lin Xindi immediately walked over to the door. Seeing the engraved patterns on the sills, the little guy was extremely shocked. "It's true!"

Instantly, the group of little rascals ran towards the door, every single one extremely amazed.

"Sister Ruochu, you're so awesome!" To notice such an inconspicuous area.

Little did they know, at this moment the livestream chat was thanking "Ji Mochen who kept moving luggage back and forth."
