When Lu Yinghan woke up, her body, still slightly relaxed, suddenly froze, not daring to move a muscle.
Her body was very warm, and there was an extra coat draped over her quilt.
She had indeed woken up feeling a bit cold in the middle of the night, but later felt warm again, so she had drifted back to sleep.
Was the source of this warmth... Xie Bei's embrace?
Xie Bei was a light sleeper. The moment he felt Lu Yinghan wake up, he opened his eyes.
Reaching out, he tucked her quilt in snugly to keep the cold air from seeping in.
“Cover up well. It's a bit chilly in the morning,” Xie Bei murmured in a raspy voice.
Lu Yinghan's stiff body gradually relaxed.
Being cared for so early in the morning moved her deeply.
Nestled under the quilt, she soaked in the lingering warmth, letting her mind slowly regain clarity.
Voices gradually drifted in from outside the mud house.
Only then did the two slowly get out of bed.
Xie Bei got out of bed first and wrapped Lu Yinghan up like a tight little bundle. Then he went over to their suitcase to get the clothes they needed to wear for the day.
【Mmm~ So nice to see Brother taking such good care of the kid first thing in the morning~】
【I just came over from Qi Qi's stream. Was curious to see how Xie Bei handles taking care of a kid.】
【To the commenter above, spill the tea, what drove you over to our side?】
【Song Qi pulled out a clump of hair while braiding Naixin's hair... and the braid turned out all crooked.】
【Hahahahaha! Really?! Going over to watch right now!】
【Early bird gets the worm indeed. So hilarious first thing in the morning.】
Around five or six in the morning, some netizens were already awake, though the numbers weren't overwhelming yet.
The two in the mud house washed up and brushed their teeth in harmony. Just as they finished dressing, a staff member arrived at their doorstep holding a task card.
“Good morning! This is your task for today. Completing it will earn you an extra reward.”
An extra reward?
The two exchanged a glance and took the task card with curiosity.
“Find the grandmother corresponding to the task card and help her sell vegetables for the day.”
Sell vegetables??
【Holy cow, selling vegetables hahahaha.】
【Ooh, I want to see what it's like when the two of them sell vegetables.】
【Plus one! This place is pretty remote, so there aren't many young people around. But everyone reacted pretty strongly to Heavenly King Chen.】
【Tsk, are you saying our Heavenly King Chen is old?】
【Speaking of Heavenly King Chen, I just visited his live stream room. Their morning task is following an old grandfather all day to herd cattle.】
【That suits Qianqian.】
【Pupu and Nan Heyi went to dig up lotus roots...】
【Song Qi and Naixin went to be shopkeepers at a convenience store for the day.】
The live stream chat buzzed with viewers sharing what everyone else was doing, giving everyone a good idea of the situation.
Xie Bei looked at the task with a bit of trouble. To be honest, since joining this variety show, many things were firsts for him. Selling vegetables this time was yet another thing he had never done before.
Just as he was feeling stumped, Lu Yinghan took his hand.
“Let's go, Father Xie Bei. Let's do our best together today too.”
【Ahhhhh! Help! Give me a daughter like this!】
【May I ask how the wealthy Lu family educates their children?】
【Same question! Looking at my own kid right now, I feel a bit disgusted.】
【Tsk tsk tsk, I told you she was here to bless Xie Bei. I bet today's vegetable-selling segment will be all thanks to Lu Yinghan again.】
【Makes sense! I can already picture it.】
Watching Lu Yinghan encourage Xie Bei as the two set off together to sell vegetables, the netizens' hearts melted.
The number of viewers in the live stream room steadily grew. After learning about today's tasks, everyone curiously stayed in each stream to see what would happen.
At six-thirty in the morning, the small market was already packed with uncles and aunties selling vegetables, boasting foot traffic that rivaled broad daylight.
The camera crew following behind Lu Yinghan and Xie Bei made passersby stop and watch.
The two were seriously searching for the grandmother shown on the task card.
However, among the sea of grandfathers and grandmothers selling vegetables, finding one specific person in the crowd was truly no easy task...
Lu Yinghan and Xie Bei felt a bit stuck...
“Father Xie Bei, let me ask the grandfathers and grandmothers here where the grandma in the photo is.”
“Mm, that's our only option.”
After a quick discussion, the two rushed over to a stall to ask about the exact location of the grandmother in the photo.
“Grandma~ Do you know where this grandmother sells her vegetables?”
Lu Yinghan stepped up first, holding the photo in front of a kindly-looking elderly woman.
The old grandmother squinted her small eyes. Seeing such a tiny child approach her to ask for directions, the corners of her brows curved upward in delight, making her expression appear even warmer.
“Let me see, ah... Oh, I know, I know! Just keep walking straight ahead. When you see the biggest vegetable stall, that's hers!”
Xie Bei and Lu Yinghan's eyes lit up.
“Thank you, Grandma! Thank you!”
After sincerely thanking her, Xie Bei picked Lu Yinghan up and lengthened his stride, speeding toward the destination.
Sure enough, a moment later, they saw the largest vegetable stall, where a white-haired grandmother sat arranging her vegetables.
“Hello, Grandma! We're here to help you sell vegetables today.”
Upon reaching the destination, Xie Bei immediately spoke to the elderly woman with silver hair before him.
The grandmother setting up her stall alone turned her head and gave Xie Bei an expressionless look.
“You're here? You're a bit late. I've already started setting up. Hurry to the back and put on your aprons.”
The old grandmother chided Xie Bei with a slight dialect accent, showing a touch of dissatisfaction. However, when her gaze landed on Lu Yinghan in his arms, she refrained from saying anything more.
Xie Bei set Lu Yinghan down, and she immediately ran to the back to grab an apron.
However, the aprons here were all adult-sized.
Being so tiny, she could only clumsily fold it in half and stuff the excess bottom part into the neckline.
While she was still struggling to tie the knot behind her back, the apron on her body was suddenly pulled off from behind.
The next second, a brand new, pink little apron was placed over her.
Turning around, she saw the grandmother bending down to tie a neat bow on her back.
“Help your father out well.”
There wasn't much expression on the grandmother's face, but she gave the gentle reminder in a soft voice.
【This grandma is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.】
【She's so good to kids.】
【You can tell that apron was just bought.】
【Looks like grandma is very kindhearted.】
Watching the grandmother's actions, the netizens in the live stream typed out two words:
Tsundere
Lu Yinghan nodded her little head and walked over to Xie Bei, who was learning how to use the scale.
“Father Xie Bei, I'll learn with you.”
In truth, Lu Yinghan had used these in her past life.
She had even worked at a fresh seafood and produce market for a time.
Now, looking at the familiar weighing scale, her fingers twitched slightly.
She wanted to see if her old skills were still intact.
