“Good morning, Tutu. Jiejie and the others are in the study room.” Lin Wan pointed to the room. Tutu ran to the room and she continued peeling the peanuts.
The livestream started at eight in the morning.
Li Yanchen held a bowl of steaming porridge. “Is peeling peanuts so interesting? Don’t your fingers hurt?”
Lin Wan looked at him. “Hmm… the sound of peanut shells cracking is a stress reliever. The villagers also peel peanuts when they come back. I can do a good job of it.”
“But why did you arrange the peanut kernels so neatly?” Li Yanchen was puzzled.
“It’s like arranging troops. Don’t you think it looks like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?”
Li Yanchen touched his wife’s forehead. She didn’t have a fever, so why was she acting silly? Or maybe she was just bored…
“Indeed, it feels that way. Can I have a few to eat? You seem to be running out of space.”
‘Yes. I’ll collect these and arrange them on another table. I’m really bored. I feel uncomfortable when the Festival Group doesn’t assign tasks.”
[Lin Wan, you’re peeling peanuts again.]
[Lin Wan has adapted to the local customs. When I was in the countryside, my mom would give me a sack of peanuts, and I would sit in the yard, basking in the sun while peeling them.]
[Is it OCD? Why arrange the peanut kernels one by one on the table?]
[It’s the fun of doing it. By the way, is there no task today? Everyone will be leaving tomorrow at noon. Why not have a celebration today?]
Li Yanchen glanced at the comments and replied to a few interesting comments.
In the study room, Tutu felt a little embarrassed seeing Li Zekai and the others studying. He wanted to ask Li Zekai if they could go to the orchard to pick leaves and stones. However, when he saw Li Zekai being so dedicated to his studies, he didn’t ask him. “Jiejie, do you have any extra books? I want to read with you, too.”
Li Zekai rummaged through a box and pulled out a book called “Ginger Sprout” and another book called “Rainbow Flower.” “Which one do you want to read?” asked Li Zekai. Tutu chose “Ginger Sprout.”
In the Li family’s study, the children studied together.
Su Wei felt a bit bored at home without his son. He video-called his mother.
Huo Meijun was applying a face mask on her face early in the morning. When she saw the video call, she happily answered it.
“Son, calling me so early?”
“I have nothing to do today. Tutu went to play with Jiejie, so I called you. We’ll be back tomorrow at noon. Your precious grandson wants to eat stir-fried crab.”
“I know. I’ll have it arranged. There are also butter-fried prawns, steamed pork with rice flour, chicken… You all seemed to be eating well during the livestream. Why are you still so greedy with food?” Huo Meijun had been worried that her son and grandson might not have good food to eat when the livestream began, but her doubts were laid to rest when all they had was group meals and that kind of thing at the show all the time. He was well taken care of.
“Home-cooked food tastes different, Mom. Thank you.”
“What?”
“It’s nothing. Alright, I’ll hang up. I have to start the livestream soon.” “I heard it. You’re busy. Be safe on the way back tomorrow.” Huo Meijun smiled.
In Tutu’s livestream room, the number of online viewers decreased day by day. On the fifth day of the live stream, there were only a few thousand people. [President Su, sorry, I’m also leaving. Can’t spend precious time here.]
[Let’s go! Tutu is at the Li family’s house. What’s there to watch here? It’s only Mr. su.]
[Let’s go to Xiao Yi’s house. Xiao Yi and Li Zexin are discussing whether they like someone.]
[That’s so exciting!]
In the Li family’s house, Li Zekai couldn’t stay still anymore and started talking with Tutu. Li Zexuanad n Li Zexin couldn’t focus on their homework, so they took their books and went to Xiao Yi’s place.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Tianlin had just come back from their run. They sat together in the courtyard.
Xiao Tianlin brought up the topic again and asked Li Zexin if he liked anyone. Li Zexin had never thought about it before. The question caught him off guard.
“Huh?” The boy instinctively looked at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi felt uneasy. He turned away. He wondered why Li Zexin was staring at him.
“I don’t think so,” said Li Zexin after a while.
[Magician Xiao, are you going all out? Why are you suddenly asking Xinxin about this? Where’s the Wind God? Does he like someone?]
[I guess he already asked him, maybe just not in the livestream.] [Isn’t it awkward to ask something like this? Xinxin just entered the ninth grade.]
[Ninth grade means reaching adulthood. It’s just a casual question. I’m curious too. Does Xinxin have someone he likes?]
[Didn’t he say he doesn’t?]
[Xinxin hesitated. His answer cannot be trusted.]
[What do you mean? Xinxin was just caught off guard by the question. I don’t want Xinxin to like anyone. Let him grow up first. My daughter is also going to enter Yun Xi High School. She likes Xinxin.]
[What are you implying? Are you suggesting your daughter for Xinxin? Keep dreaming. Xinxin can only end up with Xiao Yi and no one else.]
[No! Xinxin and Wind God are like teacher and student. That cannot happen!]
Xiao Yi felt embarrassed. What was happening to his father today? He was being so gossipy. Li Zexin was still in middle school!
‘You’re still young. Focus on your studies. When you reach university, you’ll have more choices.” Xiao Tianlin changed the topic abruptly.
“Okay…” Li Zexin breathed a sigh of relief.
[What the heck, it’s over?]
[The magician just talks nonsense when he has nothing to say. It’s so boring.] [So, he just asked that out of boredom?]
[Didn’t you just say that Xinxin is still young? Why are you clinging to this topic now? They were just chatting casually.]
“Yes. I was just asking casually. I have a big mouth, nothing else.” Xiao Tianlin glanced at the comments.
[Magician, I know you have no ill intentions. I support you. I also like to see this kind of daily conversation. Everyone, don’t you want to see their daily talks too?]
Although Xiao Tianlin claimed that he asked it casually, Xiao Yi felt that his father was fishing for information. If not, why didn’t he ask Li Zexuan?
Did his father think he and Li Zexin were…
Xiao Yi started to sweat.
Li Zexuan was afraid he would be asked the same question. When Xiao Tianlin didn’t ask him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’m going inside. You three continue the livestream.” Xiao Tianlin patted his son’s shoulder.
[Xinxin, my daughter is also in the ninth grade. I hope you two can go to the same high school.]
[There are plenty of ninth graders. It’s fair competition.]
[Isn’t anyone interested in Xuanxuan?]
[There are, but Xuanxuan said he won’t date until he graduates from college.] [Xuanxuan is a celebrity. If celebrities start dating early, they will lose many fans.]
[Celebrities are also human beings. Don’t say such things.]
[If you love them, love everything about them.]
[I don’t care. I don’t want Xuanxuan to find a partner.]
Li Zexuan looked at the comments.. Did they really feel like that?
