"Dad, you're so sneaky! As soon as you heard it was a show about dads taking care of kids, you agreed right away. Couldn't you talk to the director and let me be on the show too?"
Yu Sheng started nagging as soon as he got home.
There was nothing he could do. His family status was low. Since his lovely younger sister came back, she had either been in their dad's arms, their mom's arms, or their eldest brother's arms.
He either couldn't even get a chance to hold Nian Nian or was always just out of reach.
He was extremely resentful.
"How are you talking to your dad? Besides, this is a father - son show. What would you be doing on it?"
"Am I not your son?"
Yu Sheng was very unconvinced.
It was no different for his dad to take care of one more teenage kid like him while taking care of a little one.
"No means no."
Yu Shanhe rolled his eyes and didn't even want to talk to his stupid son.
However, he didn't expect that on the day of the recording, when he arrived at the recording location, he actually saw his stupid son there.
The recording location was a small mountain village. According to Song Baoguo, the originally determined recording location couldn't be used for some reason, so they had to activate this backup plan.
Song Baoguo had prepared two plans before the recording.
The previously selected recording location was a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, like a paradise on earth.
The living environment there was not too bad, but not excellent either.
The show was mainly about a leisure rural style.
The second plan was an extremely poor and remote village. It would take half an hour of walking to get to the town.
This plan was mainly about recalling hard times.
The reason they had initially decided on the first plan was that most of the celebrities and kids couldn't endure hardships.
Actually, Song Baoguo had preferred the second plan.
Now that something had happened when they were having a meal in the previous village, although they hadn't found out the exact cause in the end, Song Baoguo didn't dare to stay there any longer. It just so happened that it suited his intention, so they would film according to the second plan.
The program crew provided transportation. The guests took a car from the airport, then transferred to a bus, and finally to a donkey cart before traveling a long way to get here.
Nian Nian had lived in the countryside before, so this was nothing new to her. She even felt a bit nostalgic for a moment.
When they arrived and saw Yu Sheng dragging his suitcase and groaning while rubbing his waist, the little girl was also a bit stunned.
"What's going on? How did you get here?"
Yu Shanhe carried Nian Nian and rushed to Yu Sheng in a few steps, frowning and asking.
"You didn't talk to the director, so I talked to him myself. Anyway, I finally convinced the director to let me be on the show with you. I'm already here. You can't send me back, right? I've been on the donkey cart for so long that I'm about to fall apart."
Yu Sheng muttered while rubbing his waist, smiling like a sly fox.
Adhering to the idea of "since I'm here", Yu Shanhe just glared at his troublesome son and sighed helplessly, silently allowing this "sticky plaster" to follow them.
They were the first group of guests to arrive.
Then two more groups arrived one after another.
Each group consisted of an old father and a child under ten.
When they saw Yu Sheng, they were a bit surprised but didn't ask too much. They just greeted each other politely and briefly introduced themselves.
The last group of guests made both Yu Sheng and Yu Shanhe widen their eyes in surprise.
Duan Xing and Zhao Tang.
They didn't know Duan Xing, but they were extremely familiar with Zhao Tang.
If they hadn't met today, they would have forgotten about this niece and cousin who had been boarding at a school far away.
"Why is she here?"
Yu Sheng frowned tightly.
Zhao Tang was like a thorn in his heart.
As soon as she appeared, he would recall the stupid days he had once had.
Moreover, after the true faces of Zhao Tang and her aunt's family were exposed, Yu Sheng had no more affection or pity for this not - so - innocent little cousin. All that was left was disgust and annoyance.
"I don't know."
Yu Shanhe also frowned, but he just glanced at Zhao Tang briefly and then looked away.
He couldn't really say any bad words to a little kid, could he?
Ignoring her was the best he could do.
"Okay, now that all the guests have arrived, let me talk about the show's process."
After all the guests had arrived, Song Baoguo started to ramble about the show's process.
Most of it was something they already knew in advance.
The show would be broadcast live throughout the whole process except when the guests were sleeping at night.
The guests had to earn their own food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The program crew would initiate games from time to time, and the guests could also actively challenge the program crew.
Each group of guests had a starting fund of 1,000 yuan, which could only be used to buy necessary items from the program crew.
Mobile phones would be confiscated throughout the show, and the guests were not allowed to contact the outside world.
Finally, after finishing talking about the show's process, the all - round cameras were turned on at the same time.
The first thing to do was to choose a house.
The program provided four types of houses in total.
One was a brick - tile house, which cost 888 yuan to live in.
The second was a small courtyard earthen house, which cost 666 yuan.
The third was an adobe house, which cost 444 yuan.
The last one was an abandoned leaky house, which could be lived in for free.
The order of choosing and buying houses was also determined by a game.
The first game was the sandbag - throwing game that kids often played.
The adults didn't participate in the game. The kids threw sandbags at each other, and they were ranked according to the order in which they were eliminated.
Zhao Tang was arranged next to Nian Nian.
The two girls looked at each other but didn't greet each other.
They both pretended not to know each other.
With a whistle from the director, the game officially started.
The little boy on the opposite side weighed the sandbag twice and then threw it at Nian Nian, who looked the easiest to bully.
The little girl was very agile. When the sandbag was thrown at her, she had already calculated its trajectory and was ready to dodge.
But just as she lifted her foot, she suddenly felt a tug on her clothes.
The sudden tug almost made her fall to the ground.
Seeing the sandbag about to hit her directly, the stubborn and unyielding Nian Nian turned around and pushed Zhao Tang, who had quietly walked behind her and tugged at her clothes, to the front.
The sandbag hit Zhao Tang's forehead with a slap.
The little boy had used all his strength when throwing the sandbag, and it actually made Zhao Tang's forehead turn red.
The little girl burst into tears and said while wiping her eyes, "Sister, why did you push me? Waaaa..."
