Li Zekai was anxious. He hoped Li Zexuan would lose.
Li Zexuan knew that his brother had deliberately thrown the game with Feifei and Wheatley. They had wanted to lose for some reason. He decided to support whatever it was that his younger brother had planned.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianlin looked at Li Zexuan. How could he compete with a child? He was ready to give in and admit defeat. However, just when he was about to set his foot down, Li Zexuan was already on both his feet.
“I lost,” declared Li Zexuan. “Uncle Xiao won!”
Li Zekai grabbed Feifei happily. “My brother lost! I can plant vegetables with you!”
When the Cockfighting competition began, the Festival Group realized that they had miscalculated. The reward of being exempt from vegetable planting wasn’t really coveted, especially by the children. Therefore, they had thrown the game.
It was rare for Xiao Tianlin to win anything. He first bowed to the camera and thanked everyone.
[Finally, Magician Xiao won something!]
[It wasn’t easy. At least when the adults were competing, it was a fair fight, and they weren’t going easy on each other.]
[But this task wasn’t very bad. Those who won and those who lost are both happy.]
“Other than the exemption from vegetable planting,” said one of the staff. “There is another reward. We’ve arranged for a mystery guest to Lan Village tomorrow afternoon. They will be staying here for two days and one night. Since Xiao Yi’s family has won, they can choose to let the mystery guest stay with them. The mysterious family will take on the tasks for these two days, and Xiao Yi’s family can opt out of the mission.”
“A mystery guest? They will be staying at our house?” asked Xia MO in surprise.
“But won’t that be inconvenient for them?” asked Xiao Tianlin. “We only have a small spare room. Will they be okay with it?”
Although it was only for one night, The Festival Group didn’t want to spend money and book a hotel room outside the village.
“We already asked, and they were okay with it,” said the staff. The Festival Group didn’t reveal any further information about this mystery guest.
[A mystery guest? Could they be related to one of the guests? Usually, in shows like these, they invite family members or distant relatives.]
[It’s possible. Who could it be? Xiao Yi’s grandparents live in the same neighborhood as them, but they haven’t seen each other for a long time.] [Don’t tell me it’s another celebrity!]
[It’s possible. Xuanxuan and Xiaoxiao may be celebrities, but they’re both underage. The Festival Group might have invited an old celebrity.]
[That’s right. Old celebrities are very down-to-earth. They don’t really make so much of a fuss.]
“We’re all looking forward to it,” said Xia Mo.
The other families didn’t really care that much about the reward, especially the children who only wanted to play with mud in the vegetable planting task.
“Everyone is free to do whatever they want in the afternoon. We’ll gather here again at five in the evening, so we can start with dinner.” The staff wanted to gather all the families, especially on the first day, to improve bonding between them.
“Alright. Thank you, Festival Group. Thank you, all the staff.” Everyone was happy to hear that they didn’t have to cook tonight.
Thev didn’t have a livestream in the afternoon. and now thev didn’t need to
cook. Lin Wan leaned against Xia Mo. “What kind of day is this?”
“Do you know how to knit? If you don’t, I’ll teach you.” Xia MO had brought a lot of woolen threads with her. She had come prepared this time to battle her boredom on days when they had no missions.
“Knitting? No. I only know how to knit a scarf.” Lin Wan recalled her university days. There was a shop next to the university which sold thick woolen threads. Her roommates would always buy a bunch of threads to knit scarves for their boyfriends.
Lin Wan didn’t have a boyfriend at that time, but she had learned to knit anyway.
“Oh, so you know the basics. Do you want to learn more? It’s very simple. I can teach you.”
“Sure,” said Lin Wan.
She thought she might as well keep herself engaged rather than reply to the bullet screen comments every few seconds. Maybe she was skilled in knitting! She might even knit a sweater for Li Yanchen.
After the families bid goodbye to each other. Lin Wan headed straight to Xiao Yi’s house with Xia Mo.
Xiao Tianlin, on the other hand, headed to the Li family house with Li Yanchen. They sat in front of the camera in the courtyard.
Li Zexuan, Ning Xiaoxiao, and Wheatley walked to Xiao Yi’s house, too.
Feifei, Li Zekai, and Ning Weiwei played hide-and-go-seek in the orchard. Zheng Kuo kept an eye on them as they played.
The number of viewers in Wheatley and Feifei’s livestream rooms dropped sharply.
Most of the viewers had switched to Xiao Yi’s livestream room.
[In the past, there were five different livestreams. Now, all the people I like are in the same place. Finally, I don’t have to switch back and forth anymore.]
[Me too. I finally don’t have to keep two phones just to watch my favorite families.]
[I still have two phones. One is to watch Xuanxuan. Wherever he goes, I switch to the respective livestream to watch him. Another phone is to watch Mr. Li and Lin Wan.]
[Xiao Yi’s house has become so lively suddenly.]
[Is that a ball of woolen thread I see on Teacher Xia’s hands? Is she going to knit a scarf?]
[She has got knitting needles too! I think Teacher Xia is really going to knit some clothes.]
[Lin Wan also has knitting needles. Does she know how to knit?]
[My mother was just about to take a nap. When I said Teacher Xia had a ball of woolen thread and knitting needles in her hands, she got up and came to watch. Knitting was her hobby too.]
Xia MO had two balls of differently colored woolen threads in a box. She had already begun knitting a piece.
Lin Wan thought that the colors were very beautiful. The end product would definitely look gorgeous.
The colors were two different shades of blue. It was probably being knitted for Xiao Tianlin.
“I’ll teach you how to start.” Xia MO took out a spare needle and a spare ball of thread. “Think about who you’re knitting it for. The size of the clothes will be different, depending on the frame of the person.”
“Li Yanchen,” said Lin Wan without hesitation.
Li Zexuan, who had been talking to Xiao Yi at the back, overheard them. He walked to Lin Wan. “Mr. Li is always in places with heaters or air conditioners. I am the one who needs a sweater. We don’t even have internal heating in school. ”
“What?”
“Mr. Li’s clothes are usually from Louis Vuitton and other luxurious brands.
“You two are the same. No, go and play. Don’t disturb me.” Lin Wan shooed him away.
“Aren’t you silly?” said Xiao Yi. ‘Why not ask Auntie Lin to knit two sweaters instead of fighting over it?”
“That’s true!” said Li Zexuan as he glanced back at Lin Wan. “Ms. Lin, please knit two of them. Mr. Li and I will get one each. So, we won’t be jealous of each other.”
“Don’t nag at me right now,” said Lin Wan as she prepared to learn to knit. “We will see how this one turns out. We can talk after I learn it properly.” [Xuanxuan is getting more and more humble.]
[Lin Wan is saying she doesn’t know how to knit, so she wants to learn first, right?]
[Yes. Xuanxuan should wait. Nobody knows how it will turn out. What if it turns out very ugly?]
[I have full confidence in Sister Lin. She will learn it in no time.]
[If Xuanxuan likes to wear knitted sweaters, I know how to knit them. I will knit them for you, Xuanxuan!]
[Xuanxuan only likes sweaters knitted by his stepmother.]
Li Zexuan sat back down near Xiao Yi listlessly..
