When Xiao Tianlin heard his wife call for him loudly in front of everyone, he was stunned. He stopped in his tracks.
“Hubby…” Xia MO quickened her pace.
[Aww… this is the first time I heard Xia MO call him “hubby”. Doesn’t she usually call him “Old Xiao”?]
[Xiao Tianlin looks shocked. He even stopped moving.]
[Forget about Xiao Tianlin, even I am shocked!]
[Why? What’s so shocking about it? Can’t wives and husbands show each other some love even if they are middle-aged?]
[Nothing wrong with it… but Teacher Xia doesn’t usually do that.]
[All the mothers look shocked, too.]
“What?” asked Xiao Tianlin cautiously.
“Don’t you have that reward? You can opt out of a mission, right? I was thinking if we can use it this time,” said Xia MO as he hooked her arm through his. “Is it only for you, or does it apply to the whole family?”
“I-I’m not sure,” said Xiao Tianlin.
“Well… you can use it anyway. If the Festival Group says family can’t be included, we can just say we didn’t know because they didn’t clarify. That way, I can watch the competition with you.”
“I’m here to talk to you about that,” said Xiao Tianlin.
After reaching a consensus with her husband, Xia MO returned to the group of mothers.
Zheng Kuo called Xiao Tianlin over.
[Why am I so supportive of Teacher Xia and Magician Xiao when they’re such a mess?]
[It’s probably because we are more tolerant toward elderly people.]
[They aren’t that old. Maybe Magician Xiao is a little old, but he still has the spirit and eagerness of a child.]
[What about the mission, though? What do you think it’s about?]
No one knew that the Phoenix Bicycles crew had already lined up the bicycles neatly in a row in the north of the village. They were all waiting for the families to arrive.
The mothers stood up and rolled their yoga mats. They dispersed.
Li Yanchen took the thermos and yoga mat from Lin Wan’s hands. “I want to join your yoga group.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes. That way, I can admire my wife’s beautiful figure.”
Lin Wan looked around to see if anyone had overheard them. Thankfully, no one was nearby. “Mr. Li, you should be more careful.”
Li Yanchen chuckled. “Okay. I’ll stop joking for now. Do you feel like you can participate in the mission later? We can give up if it’s too much for you.” Lin Wan wasn’t used to too much physical activity. So, exercising for an entire afternoon did make her tired.
“You mean, forfeit the mission?” asked Lin Wan. “What do you take me for? We need to at least see what the mission is. It might be our last mission for this episode. Besides, Xinxin will be watching. How could I just give up when he is so determined to push forward despite having difficulty studying? We, as parents, should set an example.”
Li Yanchen laughed. “Of course! We’ll definitely work hard to complete all tasks.”
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianlin and Xia MO rejoiced that they could opt out of the mission. They laughed out loud as they walked away.
The children played in the reed field even after the adults dispersed. Ning Xiaoxiao wove a flower and a small bird’s nest from reeds.
Wheatley was surprised. “Sister Xiaoxiao, you’re so talented. I didn’t know how to make a reed flower until I came here.”
Ning Xiaoxiao had even made a few birds with the reed. Wheatley admired Ning Xiaoxiao even more than before.
Xiao Yi and Li Zexuan walked over to the girls in curiosity.
“I thought only Ms. Lin knew how to make these.” Li Zexuan had seen Lin Wan weave a rabbit with green foxtail grass. Today, he had seen Ning Xiaoxiao weave birds and flowers with reeds.
“You only used reeds to make that? Amazing! ” It was rare for Xiao Yi to praise someone.
“It’s quite simple,” said Ning Xiaoxiao. “You just have to play around with it for a while to get the gist of it.”
“I like traditional decorations made from natural things,” said Xiao Yi. “Can I have this?”
“Sure,” said Ning Xiaoxiao. She gave the nest with the flower and the birds to Xiao Yi.
She wanted to ask Li Zexuan if he wanted one too. However, he was already looking away. She thought he wasn’t interested, so she kept quiet.
Li Zekai and Feifei had collected a lot of twigs and stones. However, they didn’t Imow how to take them back to their houses.
“Brother Xuanxuan!” shouted Li Zekai.
He jogged over to his elder brother and pulled at him. “Come with me.” “Why?”
“Come with me. I’ll show you.” Li Zekai led him to the area where they had piled up stones and twigs. “Please help us take these back. Feifei and I can’t carry everything.”
“What for?” Li Zexuan asked.
“Look at this one,” said Li Zekai as he picked up a stone. “This is called Little
Black Bean. This one is shaped like a yellow heart.”
“You gave them names?”
The two little boys nodded. “What if these are gemstones in disguise?” said Li Zekai. “Feifei’s daddy told him that some stones look ugly and remarkable, but they might actually have gems inside!”
Li Zexuan was speechless.
Feifei saw that Li Zexuan didn’t believe him. He tried hard to explain what his father had told him. Li Zekai and Feifei hung from each of Li Zexuan’s sides and begged him for his help.
In the end, Li Zexuan had no choice but to agree.
After the parents returned home, the cameras in the field were removed. So, the children played happily. They forgot all about returning home.
When it was almost 3:30 p.m., the parents came to look for them. They all headed to the north of the village for the mission.
They couldn’t see the area where the bicycles were lined up. Everyone was still wondering what the mission would be.
The staff began to call out their names to make sure everyone was present. They then began to explain the rules of the mission.
“In the bicycle race, each parent will be given a bicycle. When the timer starts, the parents have to follow the small path, make a round, and return here. The one who takes the least time to do this will be the winner. You can’t take shortcuts. We will place some staff members at each fork to make sure no one cheats.”
“A bicycle race?!”
This was too easy. Even the children could do this. Feifei, the youngest of the children, loved riding his bicycle in the neighborhood at home.
Although Xia MO and the others lived in the city, they still rode bicycles around the park occasionally. When they heard that the mission was just a bicycle competition, they thought it was too easy. However, no one knew that the bicycles waiting for them were of the old design..
