Chapter 183 Market
Chapter 183 Market
Ji Jianshu keenly noticed that An'an was not speaking and was even twisting her toes guiltily, so he said, "We heard from Duo Duo's father that he must have something to tell us!"
Sure enough, Jiang Jun took the hen with a smile and said, "Hehe~, today we're going to play a game called 'Saving the Hen'!"
Zhuangzhuang: "But we don't want to play your game, we want to build a castle!"
Yangyang: "Yeah~, I don't want to play games either!"
"Hahaha~, without chickens, who will live in the castle you built? Do you know how big a castle a chicken needs to live in?"
Seeing that An'an, Zhuangzhuang, and the other children were already hesitating, Jiang Jun looked at Shen Yu and added, "This chicken has been your friend for a day, are you really willing to abandon it?"
Duoduo: "My good friend, of course we're going to miss you!"
"Did you guys see those uncles carrying cameras over there? They all look so tempted by this hen! If you don't want this chicken, I don't know who will eat it!"
Upon hearing this, Yangyang, the most timid of them all, burst into tears. Su Shao immediately picked her up and carried her aside to comfort her.
Hearing this, An'an couldn't sit still any longer. She quickly pulled Shen Yu and his friends aside and whispered to them, "My dad said that this 'clucking' thing can lay eggs for us to eat!"
Duo Duo: "Really? That's amazing!"
Ji Jianshu: "That's right, this chicken is an old hen, it can lay eggs!"
Before Zhuangzhuang could even scream with excitement, Shen Yu pulled a few of his friends forward: "Daddy Duo! Just tell us! What game do we want to play?"
Zhuangzhuang, as if hiding a big secret, said in a pretentious manner, "Yes! This old hen hasn't even entered my belly yet, I won't let you eat such a delicious, fat chicken!"
An'an: "Yes! We want to eat old hen too~"
Seeing that the topic was about to go off track again, Jiang Jun quickly asked Xie Han to read the task cards to everyone!
An'an, Shen Yu, and the other children, each carrying a small red floral cloth bag, slowly set off for the market near the Taklamakan Desert, under the watchful eyes of Lu Junxing and the other elders.
It was then that they learned there was a small town not far from here, which served as a tourist destination and a place to buy and sell daily necessities for the locals, and was also one of the popular spots to visit.
Seeing An'an and the others waving excitedly at them from the minibus, even Yangyang, crying, was being held by Zhuangzhuang's little hand and waving at the adults:
Wang Jinbao, being a novice in television programs, said with some concern, "Could it be that Jiang Jun is planning to sell our children and then come up with some kind of crazy mission to make us redeem them?"
Xu Tinglan didn't care about saving face for Jiang Jun anymore, and complained wearily, "You know what, he actually did it!"
Wang Jinbao: "Oh dear~, since the wife said that, Jiang Jun might have just pawned our child and sold him!"
"Do you think we should rush up and grab the child right now? If all else fails, I'll just go busking on the street and get them a new chicken!"
Shen Shaocheng: "They were keeping their mission a secret from us just now. I bet it's related to us. They knew we wouldn't want to do it, so they tricked the kids into going!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tinglan felt it was very much like Jiang Jun's approach and, not wanting to ruin her image by doing anything shameful, waved her hand and said, "Then forget it! Let the child suffer this himself! We can resist when it's our turn!"
Su Shao: "Seriously? We're really just going to abandon them? My Yangyang will cry her eyes out if she can't see me!"
Lu Junxing: "What are you afraid of? Wouldn't it be better to have Jiang Jun help us take care of the kids?"
Shen Shaocheng: "Haha~, An'an's dad is right. Isn't it good to have someone help us take care of the child? Let's just treat this as a few days of vacation and rest!"
She patted the worried Su Shao on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. When your Yangyang starts crying, Jiang Jun can't handle him, so he'll naturally send him back to you! Besides, it's nothing for boys to get some exercise!"
Shen Shaocheng had also heard about what Su Shao had done last night and felt that this young man was a popular celebrity from the very beginning, and was being coaxed and flattered by others. Ultimately, he still lacked some refinement in his interpersonal skills.
Wang Jinbao was the first to agree: "Yes, if you ask me, boys need to be tempered more, otherwise when they get married and start a family, they can't just run to their fathers and cry when something happens, can they?"
Seeing that Su Shao looked unhappy, Xu Tinglan tugged at Wang Jinbao, telling him not to speak so bluntly on the show, or he would offend Su Shao's fans and cause trouble.
Shen Shaocheng had also considered this point. Seeing that Su Shao remained silent, he frowned and said:
"Zhuangzhuang's dad is so thoughtful. Most people wouldn't bother sharing their experiences. Let's talk about my son, Shen Yu, later. I've been busy with work these past few years and haven't gotten to know him very well..."
Seeing that Shen Shaocheng was willing to expose the previous friction between him and his father Shen Yu in front of the camera, Lu Junxing's expression turned even colder: "Others who don't know the situation might think that you deliberately reopened old wounds so that Su Shao's fans wouldn't tear you apart online?"
Shen Shaocheng: "Hahaha~, what's going on? President Lu! You insist on telling the truth, don't you?"
Su Shao frantically tried to explain, assuring everyone that his fans wouldn't be so thoughtless, that they were just worried, but no one responded to him.
Finally, Xu Tinglan stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "Alright! If you really want to experience what it's like to be cyberbullied, I can let my fans rant about you online!"
"Hahaha~"
The matter was lightly brushed aside with jokes, but only Shen Shaocheng, Su Shao, and a few others knew that something was still different between them. The original program was a pure and innocent space.
But then it was as if a hole had been torn open, and something from the real world quietly slipped in. Or perhaps these things had always been there, but they just hadn't noticed!
Perhaps it's that neither of them wants to admit it, but they both want to stay in this pure land a little longer!
(P.S.: I hope all my friends who like An An are carefree and have all their wishes fulfilled! May everything be well in your own lives!)
On the other side, An'an and her group arrived at the market. It happened to be market day in their area, so even though the area was sparsely populated, the market was bustling with activity.
Even tourists visiting the surrounding scenic spots came in twos and threes to witness the prosperity in the desert!
There were women wearing headscarves setting up stalls on the ground, and bearded men pushing carts and hawking their wares. Besides tourists taking photos everywhere, there were also many brightly dressed people on the street.
There were also elderly women carrying children on their backs shopping, and the surrounding earthen-walled shops sold exquisite handicrafts, clothing, and trinkets.
An'an clutched the money in the cloth bag tightly, looking at it from left to right, feeling dizzy. It was Xie Han, who was filming nearby, who couldn't help but remind her:
"An'an? Be careful not to get lost~, we need to stay close to Brother Shen Yu and the others~"
Seeing the group of people ahead, An'an quickly ran up to them and grabbed Duo Duo's hand: "Duo Duo? What do you want to buy?"
Duoduo: "I don't know~, the things here are so beautiful! Look at that bracelet!"
An'an: "So pretty!"
Worried, Ji Jianshu held Zhuangzhuang tightly, afraid that Zhuangzhuang would spend all the money on food. After all, he was now in their group, and they were all in the same boat.
Shen Yu pulled the tearful Yangyang back and reminded An'an and the others, "Don't buy things randomly, okay? We still need to buy clothes for the bonfire party!"
Ji Jianshu, pulling Zhuangzhuang who was drooling over the grilled skewers, nodded in agreement: "We can buy the things for the bonfire party first, and then use the remaining money to buy other things!"
So the six of them went in pairs to buy clothes and decorations for the bonfire party.
