The longed-for village system

Chapter 118 Happy Camp Recording [1]

“This time we won’t sing together; I have a good idea.”

Chen Qing began to explain his thoughts. At first, Zhao Xiaogu was a little unhappy, thinking that the man didn't want to sing a duet with her. However, after listening, she happily agreed and urged Chen Qing to write it down quickly so she could prepare.

Just as the two of them were getting ready, the staff from Hunan TV came to pick them up. Zhao Xiaogu could only grab her handwritten notes and try to memorize them in the car. Fortunately, her years of memorizing lines had given her a good memory, and she managed to recite them by the time they arrived at the TV station.

Perhaps the TV station arranged a dressing room for each of the three couples, because Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu did not see any other guest stars. Of course, the two greeted the Happy Camp family and then began to put on makeup and prepare.

At 8:30 a.m., the staff called the two to prepare to go on stage. The two finally met the other two couples. One was Deng Chao and his wife, and the other was his old acquaintances Huang Shi and his wife.

"Hello, Brother Chao and Madam." Chen Qing greeted Deng Chao and his wife first, then looked at Huang Shi with a puzzled expression, "Teacher Huang, what brings you here?"

Chen Qingzhen was a little puzzled. Since Teacher Huang was a guest on this episode, he should have come to the dinner party last night. When did he start to know how to be polite?

"So the last group of guests is you two! Congratulations! Happy wedding!" Seeing the couple, Brother Chao immediately offered his blessings, becoming quite familiar with them. "Xiao Gu and I worked together on a movie before, so I'm practically family to her. You absolutely have to invite me to your wedding banquet!"

Zhao Xiaogu and Brother Chao have a pretty good relationship. There's no way around it; this goofy Brother Chao gets along well with everyone. Besides, they've even worked together as the male and female leads in a movie, so you could say they're friends.

"It's alright, Brother Chao. We'll definitely send you and the Empress invitations. That way, we can earn some money as a gift." Zhao Xiaogu replied jokingly.

Chen Qing naturally nodded in agreement. Not many people would come to participate from his side. If it were in Manyuan Village, the villagers would come, but if they went out, not many people would come. So if Xiao Gu had more friends, it would be more lively.

After Huang Shi and Chen Qing, Zhao Xiaogu and Deng Chao and his wife finished greeting each other, Huang Shi responded to Chen Qing's words, "We should have arrived last night. We were thinking of having a meal with you, but Duoduo wasn't feeling well, so we were delayed. We came to the TV station as soon as the plane arrived this morning."

Okay! He said that something had kept him from coming in the morning.

"Teachers, you may come up on stage now. The countdown is about to begin."

Upon hearing the staff's call, the group paused their interaction and went behind the big screen to wait for the program to begin.

"Please welcome our first group of guests, Huang Shi and Sun Xiaoli, our second group of guests, Deng Chao and Sun Li, and our last group of newlyweds, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu. Please give them a round of applause."

Huang Shi and Sun Xiaoli are a couple with a rather calm and reserved personality, so they didn't make any special gestures when they appeared. They just held hands and made a heart shape with their hands at the end.

The couple Deng Chao and Sun Li were quite funny because of Deng Chao's funny appearance. Although Sun Li looked disgusted, she still cooperated with him to complete the entrance action.

As for Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu's appearance, it was quite conventional with no special actions, mainly because the two had no time to rehearse.

After a brief introduction, the program moved into its formal proceedings. The first competition was to test the tacit understanding between the three couples, with the first item being "You guess what I'm doing."

The Huang Shi couple and the Deng Chao couple have been married for many years and have a very high level of understanding with each other. In particular, Huang Shi, with his high IQ, sometimes guesses the answer before Sun Xiaoli even starts to gesture. In the end, the Huang Shi couple answered 8 questions in 1 minute, and the Deng Chao couple answered 7 questions. Only Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu have not yet gone to compete.

Whether it was a deliberate design by the production team or not, the first question drew gasps from the audience, and Zhao Xiaogu's fair face flushed slightly as she gestured.

"twin!"

Zhao Xiaogu didn't know how to gesture anymore. If it were just pregnancy, she could gesture like a man while sticking out her belly, but with twins, she really didn't know how to gesture, and there was no one to cooperate with her! She could only pass for now.

"Triplets!"

Seeing Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu's questions, Huang Shi and his wife, as well as Deng Chao and his wife, couldn't help but laugh. Adhering to the principle of watching the fun and not meddling in other people's business, they joined in the commotion.

"Xiao Gu, I suggest you try it out! Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more next time!" Huang Shi suggested to Zhao Xiao Gu with a smile.

It's obvious the show is playing a prank on the newlyweds, and he's naturally happy to play along. He also hopes that Xiao Chen and Zhao Xiaogu will have their own child soon—so many blessings!
Zhao Xiaogu was still unwilling to give up, but when the next question, "quadruplets," came out, she completely gave up. This production team was full of 'malice'! Who sets questions like this? Do they think she's a pig who can give birth so easily?

In the end, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu were banned by the program team with 0 points. After seeing the question, Chen Qing had to sigh that the program team knew how to play. No wonder Zhao Xiaogu didn't even write a pen in the end.

After the first round, Huang Shi and his wife had 3 points, Deng Chao and his wife had 2 points, and Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu could only get 1 point.

The second teamwork competition involved three couples drawing pictures and guessing the answers. This was exactly what Chen Qing wanted to do. He never expected that the drawing skills he had acquired a few days ago would come in handy at this time. It really is true that having many skills is never a bad thing!
"Now you know how powerful this system is, right, you dog host! Don't babble anymore."

"Yes, yes, you dog system, you're not so bad after all. I've spent all my time in the village, so I won't call you a dog today."

"I don't know if I have enough dogs, but you're really not human."

After interacting with the system and deepening their bond, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu assigned tasks and stood in front of the drawing board to prepare. Since they came in last place in the last round, they would start first this time.

Fortunately, the production team didn't mess with them this time. The first question was "Lotus Pond under the Moonlight," which was very easy for Chen Qing. He simply sketched a lotus pond with a bright moon above it with a few strokes.

"Moonlight over the Lotus Pond!"

With the answer so clear and obvious, Zhao Xiaogu naturally guessed it effortlessly. Subsequently, the two of them answered all ten questions in less than three minutes, just like a hot knife through butter.

Everyone present, including Teacher He and Teacher Huang, exclaimed in surprise. It wasn't because Zhao Xiaogu guessed correctly, but because they were amazed by Chen Qing's incredible painting skills. Anyone could have guessed the answer from such a lifelike portrait.

"Xiao Chen, you can actually draw? We had no idea!" Teacher He asked Chen Qing, holding up a piece of drawing paper.
