Su Shengjing snapped at Han Siye. “Sit with your father.”
Han Siye was speechless.
Feeling a bit unhappy, he chose a random seat and slumped on it.
Han Xiao entered the bus and noticed his son’s unhappy look. So he sat down beside Han Siye and asked in surprise, “Hey, what’s wrong? Who provoked you again?”
“Hmph.” Han Siye pouted. He unhappily watched as Su Shengjing led Su Jiu to the back and sat down.
Han Xiao understood what happened, and he teased his son, “Why? Do you like the little girl a lot?”
“I don’t like her. I want to bully her!” Han Siye angrily rebuked him.
Han Xiao’s expression immediately became serious. “You dare? I’ll spank you!”
Feeling threatened by his father, Han Siye did not dare to utter another word.
Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the village.
The children in the bus had been living in large cities from the moment they were born. They had lived luxurious lives. It was their first time visiting a rural area. Therefore, they excitedly scanned their surroundings right after alighting from the car. This was a novel experience for them.
After carrying their suitcases down the bus, the fathers led their children to Yang Fangping and the crew, who were already waiting for them in the large field.
With a bright smile, Yang Fangping greeted the fathers and children. “Good morning, everyone. Did you sleep well last night?”
“I had an amazing sleep!” The liveliest child, Li Nuoer—also known as the rock-and-roll little prince—spoke first.
“Well, it was average!” Han Siye expressionlessly replied.
Han Xiao tutted at this reaction. This kid is really something. Isn’t he saying this just because he wasn’t allowed to sit with Su Jiu? He’s still upset.
Yang Fangping was amused by the kid’s reaction. “Alright, since everyone has arrived, I’ll briefly explain the process of this trip. Each father and kid pair will spend three days and three nights in this beautiful little village. I know that as you are usually busy with work, you don’t have time to accompany your children. Hence, you can take this perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with them.
“The first thing you need to do is to select a house. I have five cards here. Children, pick a card you want. Each card represents a house. Of course, there are good and bad houses in the mix. What you get depends on your luck! Which child wants to pick the card first?”
Almost everyone looked at Su Jiu at the same time.
She was a girl and the youngest amongst them all. The boys thought that she should choose first, while Chen Xixi also felt that she should let the younger girl have the first pick.
Han Siye immediately said, “Let Little Jiu choose first.”
He stated it as a fact, not asking for anyone’s opinion.
It really made him look like those domineering CEOs.
“Okay. Little Jiu, come here and choose first.” Yang Fangping beckoned Su Jiu.
Su Jiu raised her head and glanced at Su Shengjing. After meeting his encouraging gaze, she walked toward Yang Fangping.
As Yang Fangping gazed at the little girl’s cute face, an affectionate feeling surfaced within his heart. He bent down and passed five cards to her. “Little Jiu, look at them. Which one do you want?”
Five types of fruits were printed on the five cards.
Su Jiu observed the fruits. The five different fruits were watermelon, pineapple, mango, apple, and strawberry. The cards were arranged by the size of the fruits, from the biggest to the smallest. Does it indicate how good or bad the houses each card represents are?
After some deliberation, Su Jiu cutely said, “I like strawberries.”
This is probably the worst house, but I’m going to choose it!
Based on her past experiences of watching such parent-and-child shows, the unlucky guests who selected the worst house often received more attention.
That was what she was after!
