After all, this is a parenting reality show, and the interactions between the kids and the relationships between adults and kids are the highlight.
The host quickly moved on to the show's rhythm after introducing the five groups of guests.
"You will spend three days and two nights in Duoyu Village. Now, we have to choose accommodations. As usual, parents must play a game to decide the order of choosing houses."
The specific program flow varies with different shooting locations.
This time, the host didn't lead everyone on a tour but directly introduced the houses one by one with photos.
"House number one is a lakeside cabin, situated by a lake, it's a wooden house with beautiful scenery."
Gu Miaomiao's eyes instantly lit up.
She turned around and tugged at Gu Che's hand, her childlike voice filled with excitement, "Second brother, do you think being close to the lake would make it easy to catch fish? We could have grilled fish, braised fish, steamed fish... slurp."
A certain handsome man with strong features froze for a moment.
But he doesn't know how to fish.
[I'm getting hungry just listening to her. I might as well order some pickled fish delivery now.]
[I'll order too.]
[No one notices Gu Che's expression? He got stiff all of a sudden, as if a cloud floated over his head.]
[Gu Che: I can't catch fish!]
[I'm actually looking forward to Gu Che trying to catch fish. He's probably going to get all wet without catching anything, you know what I mean.]
Tuanzi kept murmuring the names of dishes, making the audience who heard her kiddie voice burst into laughter.
Gu Che steadied his mind and thought, it doesn't matter if I can't fish; if my sister likes this house, I'll just try to grab it first.
Unlike this pair of siblings focused on food, the other four groups of guests began considering the pros and cons of the lakeside cabin.
"A bit damp, let's try not to choose this," Liu Man advised her sister. She's the cool and powerful kind of singer, not usually showing much expression, so no one noticed her concern.
"A lakeside house! Dad, can we choose this?" Su Hanjiang is a tough guy, but his son Su Chaomu is soft and adorable, and loves romantic things, "It must be blissful to live there."
Tang Tian is a well-known host, kind and approachable, but surprisingly, his son is very aloof.
The aloof Tang Jing said in a kiddie voice, "I don't like this one, let's not choose it."
Zhou Yan's cousin wanted to play in the water and also wanted to choose this one.
"House number two has many chickens and ducks. The owner is very hospitable and might even prepare chicken and duck dishes for you."
Gu Miaomiao's already big eyes widened even more.
"Chickens and ducks?"
She instinctively began listing dish names, "Roast chicken, white-cut chicken, chicken stew, roast duck, bamboo shoots with duck... slurp~"
She thought joining the show was just to cooperate with the crew and promote Ancient Martial Arts. She didn't expect to have so much delicious food, it was just too blissful!
Her little body swayed with happiness!
[It's like there are little stars in Miaomiao's eyes.]
[What little stars, those are roast chicken and roast duck.]
[Getting hungry now, I'm just about to have lunch, I'll order some yellow braised chicken with rice delivery.]
Gu Che thought, it seems house number two might be worth contesting for too.
However, hearing the dishes his sister listed, he figured that ancient ways of cooking chicken and duck might not be as numerous as now, so he said, "Actually, there's also big plate chicken, spicy chicken, yellow braised chicken, taro crispy duck..."
Tuanzi almost drooled, but she held back.
[This sibling pair is something, both foodies.]
[Don't they realize that the house with chickens and ducks might have many odors? Can city people handle rural living conditions?]
[In the eyes of foodies, all other downsides can be ignored.]
Little Cool Boy Tang Jing and Zhou Yan's cousin Zhou Jun were quite against house number two.
"House number three is the village's mansion. It is well-decorated and has a flush toilet."
Several little guests got excited; the words 'mansion' sounded very tempting indeed.
The host noticed that Gu Miaomiao wasn't listing dish names and jokingly asked her, "Doesn't Miaomiao like mansions?"
Tuanzi asked in her kiddie voice, "Do they have good food there?"
Host: "...I don't think so."
Little chubby paw rubbed her chin. After thinking seriously, Tuanzi shook her head, "Miaomiao wants to choose house number one or two."
The host glanced at Gu Che, hoping he'd join the discussion, and jokingly asked Tuanzi, "What if your brother wants to choose house number three?"
Gu Che slightly frowned, but he and Tuanzi spoke in unison.
"I'll choose what he/she wants to choose."
Tuanzi paused and looked up at Gu Che with a "whoosh".
The top celebrity quietly blushed, "Just choose the one you like."
From his previous acting experiences, Gu Che had stayed in places with tough conditions, so he wasn't picky. Making his sister happy was most important.
"Second brother."
Tuanzi raised her hand, "Hug~"
Gu Che picked her up again, and Tuanzi snuggled up to him, "Second brother, you're so nice, Miaomiao likes you a lot~"
'Boom', someone turned red from the ears to the neck again. This time, without a mask to hide it, the blush on his cold, fair skin was particularly noticeable.
[...]
[... This can't possibly be an act.]
[Cool Guy, Cool Guy, what's happening? Don't get shy all of a sudden.]
[Is this the real top celebrity? The cool image is just a persona, but inside he's actually someone who gets shy easily?]
[The contrast is adorable, I love it.]
[Acting, it's all acting. He did win Best Actor after all.]
[Haters go away, you usually accuse him of poor acting skills, but now you say he won Best Actor and is acting all this out, have some shame.]
[Doesn't anyone else want to hug Tuanzi? I want to!]
Another golden comment floated by.
[Do not hug!]
House number four is a garden house with many flowers. House number five is an orchard house with a large yard, growing many common local fruit trees, some already bearing fruit.
The game is about to begin, and Gu Che lowered his head and asked, "Which one do you choose?"
"One, two, or five!"
Tuanzi clenched her fist, "A house with good food is a good house!"
"Got it."
In the first episode, the program kept things restrained, and the game for choosing a house wasn't that difficult.
"All parents, spin in place pretending to be an elephant 20 times, and the first one to reach the finish line allows the child to have priority in choosing a house."
Su Chaomu jumped up, "Dad, go for it, let's get the lakeside house or the garden house!"
[I can't quite imagine a tough guy living in a lakeside or garden house.]
[How does a tough guy have such a sweet little one?]
[Probably learned from his mom, but unfortunately, she's not in showbiz and doesn't appear on the show.]
Little guests were cheering on their parents, but with varying levels of enthusiasm.
Su Chaomu was lively, Liu Yue was quiet, and Tang Jing was like a cool little overlord, calmly saying, "Go."
As for Zhou Jun, he was full of confidence, "I'm sure my brother will be first!"
Gu Miaomiao glanced at him, then at Zhou Yan.
Hmm, this person looks weak. Won't he fall?
She looked away disdainfully, back to her own second brother, equally filled with confidence.
"Miaomiao's brother is certainly awesome!"
Gu Che's fighting spirit soared.
Looking at that handsome face, one would think this guy is cool, a haughty type of handsome, but no one knew he was screaming inside.
