Chapter Thirty-Five Hurry Up and Sleep

  Four kids walked towards their dads in a domineering manner, chatting and laughing along the way. The sense of unfamiliarity they had when they first arrived at Ling Shui Village completely disappeared. Kids are just that simple; as long as they have a common topic, they immediately play together.

  Back to the stone where they found the big pot.

  Under the driving of professional drivers, the tractor returned smoothly to the gathering place of dads.

  As soon as he stopped the car, Shi Tou couldn't help but shout loudly: "Dad, I found the big pot! That pot is especially big."

  "Wow, this is great!" As they spoke, all the dads came over.

  Taking over the big pot, Dad and others started to get busy. Some lit fires, some washed pots, everyone was busy with joy.

  What about the stone and KiMi? Without Dad's supervision, the mischievous stone started to get naughty with KiMi. The two of them picked up stones and threw them at the outer wall of the toilet. As a result, the stone scored a direct hit and fell into the toilet. It really didn't show that the stone was actually a basketball expert. This shot was called a beautiful one.

  After the dads finished their busy work, they lay down beside the wall, chatting and waiting for the arrival of the children.

  Wang Yuelun's face was blown by the wind, and he said with a comfortable expression: "Don't mention it, this feeling is actually not bad."

  "Yes, in the past I was always working and never found that standing and blowing wind is such a beautiful thing." Lin Zhiying quite agreed with Wang Yuelun's words, among them he was the busiest.

  "I used to just keep moving forward without stopping, never thinking of stopping like I am now to take in the distant scenery."

  "We would have liked to stop, but reality doesn't allow us to!" This was said by Zhang Zhen, the youngest of several dads. His story can be said to be the most legendary. From a rookie chef to an international model, only he knows the hardships in between.

  As the topic became increasingly heavy, Wang Yuelun joked, "Guo is still better after all!"

  "I'm good, what's good."

  "What's wrong with you, a gentle and virtuous wife, a clever and quirky daughter, plus a handsome and talented son. What more could you want?"

  "Alright, my wife and daughter might agree with you, but don't even mention it to my son. He's sloppy all day long, what's handsome about that? All he has is lazy air." Although Mr. Guo said this out loud, his eyes, which were curved into a smile like a slit, revealed his true thoughts.

  "You'd better get a good deal, or else you'll have to let Xiaoyu call me godfather, I think my wife would be happy to acknowledge this son." Wang Yuehuan and Guo Baba are old acquaintances and colleagues, so they can joke like this.

  Just as Father Guo was about to say something, a cry came from far away: "Dad, Dad."

  "It's the kids, the kids are back." As soon as they said that, all the dads ran down, and Wang Yuelun was the fastest among them.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, when their dads reached the lower part of the small road, they saw four kids carrying three baskets walking towards them.

  "Wow, who came up with this idea for a break? It's actually pretty good." Guo Cuo first expressed his approval of Guo Xiao Yi's suggestion.

  Other fathers were not as leisurely as Guo Tuo, and they all welcomed their own children.

  "How's it going? Is it hard work?" Wang Yuelun asked first.

  "It wasn't hard, we found a lot of dishes, and I even found chili peppers for Dad, they were in Tian Tian's basket." Ange is the youngest, so she doesn't have a basket in her hands now.

  ……

  "Dad, we found a lot of vegetables, look." Tian Tian hurriedly showed off to Zhang.

  "That's so great, it's really awesome!" Zhang Yan was not stingy with his praise.

  "But there is no meat."

  Facing Tian Tian's words, Zhang Ceng patted his back and said, "Don't worry, have you forgotten that I'm a great chef? Whatever dish you want, I can make it."

  "Yeah, Dad is too awesome!" Those little words warm people's hearts!

  ……

  "Dad, we found many delicious dishes."

  "Really?" Tian Cheng's words were truly heartfelt, she had always thought that as long as her daughter didn't make trouble, she would be grateful. He really hadn't expected that leaving his own daughter could unleash such great power.

  "Who wants this fish?"

  "Fish is what I want to go to, oh right, and also little Ai and Brother Tian. But my strength is the greatest, they all need to rest for a long time on the way, only I don't need to rest, I'm not tired at all."

  Looking at this lively little girl in front of him, Tian Lian felt a mix of emotions.

  ……

  "Xiao Yi, how are you? Are you tired?" On this side, Father Guo also took over the basket from Xiao Yi's hands at the first time.

  "It's okay, we didn't find any meat in the end." The kids found Ange and then went to several more houses, but none of them had any meat, so they could only head back.

  "It doesn't matter, Xiaoyi can find fish is already very impressive." Guo Dad didn't care about finding meat or not, seeing Guo Xiaoyi being so independent made him feel extremely happy.

  "Will Dad cook fish?"

  "Hmm..." Dad Guo thought for a moment and said, "Next time I'll make it for you to eat again, this time I'm not in the mood."

  "Feeling unwell?" Although she didn't understand what her father meant, Guo Xiao Yi still nodded obediently.

  Finally fooled past, Mr. Guo let out a sigh of relief and vowed in his heart: "I must learn to cook when I get home."

  After a busy afternoon, the kids found back the big pot for cooking and all sorts of ingredients. Now it's time for dads to prepare dinner, and that's when our Chef Zhang gets to show off his skills.

  Washing the pot, cooking rice, chopping vegetables, cleaning fish, stir-frying dishes, and burning fish. Zhang Zhen did it in an orderly manner. The only problem was that our little friend helped a bit and added too much salt to the fish, but fortunately, we found out in time and removed it.

  What about other dads?

  Virgo mode is turned on, Tian Lian transforms instantly, washing pots, washing spoons, washing bowls, and washing chopsticks, having a great time with Wang Yue's accompaniment.

  Mr. Guo was chatting with Li Rui at this time, and it seemed that they had made some arrangements for the next day.

  Lin Zhiying and little KiMi were putting away the clean bowls and chopsticks, while Guo Tuo was helping Zhang Yan with some chores.

  All the dads were busy, while the kids had a blast. Ange was handing out his prize - a bunch of dogtail grass to the photographers; Shi Tou and KiMi were getting mischievous again; Dy was holding that one-eared rabbit and chatting with Guo Xiao Yi, and Tian Tian, who had just helped out with the commotion, also joined in, and before long all three kids were laughing happily.

  While playing and making noise, dinner is ready.

  "After a busy afternoon, the children must be hungry. Let's have dinner together now." Li Rui's appearance this time finally didn't bring bad news.

  "Let's first thank our great chef Zhang Lu."

  "No, no, it's all thanks to everyone's efforts, it's all thanks to the children."

  The dads are still being polite here, but the kids have already started eating. Among them, Ange is the one who eats the most deliciously. This kid ran around in the morning and did physical labor in the afternoon, now he's really hungry, gobbling down food with big mouthfuls.

  Compared to noon, dinner was much stronger, and Tian Lian exclaimed on the side, "Little ancestor, the greatest gain of this program is that it has made you interested in eating."

  The stone and KiMi ate and played together. It can be seen that the two children deepened their understanding through cooperation in finding a pot, and their feelings for each other also became better and better.

  Guo Xiao Yi was also tired. In the afternoon, she had been using her brain and hands at the same time. At this moment, she was concentrating on dealing with her own meal, and even ignored Guo Daddy's questions beside her.

  Tiantian also lavishly praised his hardworking father who cooked the meal, which moved Zhang Zhen to tears. It has to be said that countless people in previous lives were moved by Tiantian's thoughtfulness when he said to Zhang Zhen, "Dad, I think you cook the best!" It wasn't about whether the food was good or not, but as long as it was cooked by Dad, even plain rice and water would become a delicious feast!

  Dad and the kids are enjoying the fruits of their labor this afternoon, but what is our Guo Xiaoyu doing at this time?

  "Uncle Hong, stop messing around, is it done?" Guo Xiaoyu pointed to the clock on his phone and said: "Uncle Hong, it's already past five o'clock now. Even if we make it onto the six o'clock flight, we won't arrive in Beijing until eleven o'clock. And then going to Lingshui Village, that wouldn't be until early morning the next day."

  What's going on here?

  Originally, after Hong Tao and Guo Xiaoyu had discussed the broadcast time of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", they found a place to eat and casually talked about issues that needed attention during filming. Who knew that Hong Tao became more and more worried as he spoke, as if there was already some big problem with the crew, and insisted on rushing back to the crew overnight.

  It's already late, even if I rush back to the crew tonight, it'll be after midnight, and once I'm there, forget about sleeping in. As a good friend of sleep, how could Guo Xiaoyu neglect sleep? She resolutely refused Hongtao's proposal.

  "No way, you just said that the crew are all newcomers, especially the cameraman, who has no sense of capturing shots on camera. We have to go back." Hongtao insisted on going back.

  "Alas, Uncle Hong, what can you do even if you go back?" Guo Xiaoyu now really wanted to slap herself in the mouth, who asked her to be so garrulous and raise such a question.

  "I don't care, anyway we have to hurry back." Hong Tao knew he couldn't win an argument with Guo Xiaoyu, so he didn't continue discussing the issue and instead said directly: "I've already asked my assistant to book our plane tickets, it's 5:30, now it's 5:05, if we rush to the airport we'll just make it."

  "Uncle Hong, goodbye." Before Guo Xiaoyu could continue speaking, Hong Tao pulled him away.

  "Hong Shu, don't be like this!" This was the last thing Guo Xiaoyu said to Hong Tao before boarding the plane, while Hong Tao just looked at him with a smile and remained silent.

  What did Guo Xiaoyu do after boarding the plane?

  Of course it's sleep! Knowing that there won't be good sleep afterwards, he still doesn't hurry up and catch up on some rest!
