The longed-for village system

Chapter 177 Teacher Huang's Mistake
Since they were all old acquaintances, they naturally felt much more at ease communicating. The members of the Happy Family even used false rumors circulating online to attack each other, which is proof of their good relationship.

Haitao attacked Xinxin and Jia Ge, saying their noses were done, and Teacher He chimed in, naturally earning him an attack from Xinxin who said his hair was transplanted.

Watching the four members of the Happy Family bickering, Chen Qing and the others watched the fun from the sidelines. It's true that the way you get along with familiar people and your own family is different; they really don't hold back when it comes to exposing each other's shortcomings!
"Teacher He, so your hair was transplanted! I almost fell for your trick." Chen Qing teased Teacher He.

"No! If you keep talking, I really won't be able to explain myself." He San Sui started to whine.

Huang Sanshi, who was tidying up in the kitchen, laughed heartily as he watched the group of friends playing around outside. He really enjoyed chatting with his friends like this, whether it was joking around or teasing each other. This was the kind of life he longed for.

The group joked and played around for a while before starting work, since they still needed to process the fruit they had collected last time.

Chen Qing helped outside for a while, and when she saw Huang Sanshi starting to prepare dinner, she went inside to help as well. After all, there were quite a few of them that night, and it was clear that Teacher Huang was having a hard time managing on his own. Just that roast duck alone was troublesome enough; if it weren't for the fact that they were family, Huang Sanshi really wouldn't have been able to cook it.

Of course, he didn't plan to make it like Peking duck, just by coating it with mud and throwing it into the charcoal fire. He would definitely give up on slowly roasting it.

"Xiao Chen, did you ever imagine that your songs and poems would cause such a huge reaction when you recorded the show on Happy Camp last time?" Xin Xin asked Chen Qing, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, while she was busy outside.

"Yeah! This is really something else. The commotion was terrifying. Besides the official Weibo account liking it, even our leader liked the video. Xiao Chen, this is the first time this has happened in our circle. You're the first person to do this!" Jia Ge exclaimed sincerely.

Speaking of this, He Jiong and others said they still remember it vividly. It's already not easy for someone in the entertainment industry to be praised by an official Weibo account, but Chen Qing being praised by a high-ranking leader is truly a first in history. This was something that would have been unthinkable in the past.

Although Chen Qing was somewhat excited about this, he didn't show it and remained calm on the surface, saying, "I didn't expect it! I originally thought it was just a song or a poem. Maybe it's because today's situation is a bit special that it has inspired everyone to reflect on it! I'm lucky."

"Don't be modest, Xiao Chen. You're talented."

Teacher He was surprised but also very satisfied with Chen Qing's reaction. Chen Qing is still the same Chen Qing; his mentality is something that most people can't match.

Peng Peng and his sister were very impressed by Chen Qing's calm demeanor. He was truly worthy of being their little brother Chen. Even with such outstanding achievements, he still maintained his original aspirations. They wanted to learn more from their little brother Chen.

"Haha! Little Chen, you can be proud of yourself. Young people should be young and impetuous, just like you sang. You have the ability and the means to be." Huang Sanshi said to Chen Qing with a smile.

Huang Sanshi would have worried that anyone else would become arrogant because of this, but he was very at ease with Chen Qing. On the contrary, he felt that Chen Qing was too reserved and did not have any of the arrogance of a young person.

He had a great opportunity right in front of him, but instead of pursuing it, he stayed in seclusion in Manyuan Village. Is this the kind of life he should be living at his age? Even he, who is over fifty, is still working hard to earn money and fulfill his dreams.

"Me? I'm still far from that level! It's better to keep a low profile."

Being high-profile is for people with resources. He's an orphan with no backing, so what's the point of being high-profile? Anyone who wants to take him down can do so in a minute. So what if he gets praised by name? It's just that people are giving him face based on the situation, but it doesn't mean they have a good relationship.

If something really happens, Chen Qing dares to say that no one will even give him the time of day, because they don't know each other at all and aren't from the same world. So if you don't have the means, it's best to keep a low profile. When you reach a certain point, you can be a little more high-profile, like Jack Ma or Pony Ma. People won't say anything if you're high-profile; on the contrary, they'll say you're sophisticated.

As everyone chatted and worked, the dishes were soon served one after another. However, a small accident occurred. Perhaps the heat and time were not properly controlled, and the roast duck turned into charcoal, which made Huang Sanshi's face turn quite ugly.

He has always been confident in his culinary skills, and he has perfectly completed all the dishes requested by guests throughout the four seasons. He can understand if there are occasional minor flaws because it is the first time he has cooked something like this. But this is the first time he has cooked something like this.

I felt like I'd been slapped in the face repeatedly, my lifelong reputation ruined in an instant.

Everyone noticed Huang Sanshi's expression, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. In the end, it was Jia Ge, who had ordered the dish, who stepped in.

While eating the tender, not-yet-charred meat from the breast, he nodded in approval, "It's delicious! There's still food here. You should try it too."

The Happy Camp family has worked together seamlessly on the Happy Camp stage for so many years, and seeing Jia Ge's actions, he immediately stepped forward and tore off a small piece to taste.

"Mmm! It's delicious, I'm not kidding, it really is delicious." Xin Xin took a bite and nodded in praise.

"Great! Teacher Huang's cooking skills are top-notch, it's absolutely delicious!" HaiTao also gave a thumbs up in praise.

The atmosphere eased considerably after the Happy Family's antics; at least Huang Lei's embarrassment was resolved, and a smile appeared on his serious face.

"Alright, let's serve the dishes! We'll try making the roast duck again tomorrow since it failed this time."

Peng Peng only dared to serve the dishes after seeing Teacher Huang recover. He respected Teacher He and got along with him easily. Although he could joke around with Teacher Huang, he was still intimidated by Teacher Huang's stern face.

As they ate, drank, and chatted, and with no shortage of emcees to liven up the atmosphere, the dinner table quickly returned to its lively state.

After a satisfying meal, it was time for the interactive segment at the Mushroom House. Peng Peng couldn't wait to pull out his portable karaoke machine and perform a solo song. He'll soon be a singer with a single!

After Peng Peng, his sister also sang "Red Bean" with some hesitation, and then the Happy Family members each sang one of their signature songs.

"Xiao Chen, how about you sing one too? I heard you sing one on the show last time, but I haven't heard you sing live since."

After Xin Xin finished singing a song, she immediately turned her attention to Chen Qing. She also really likes Chen Qing's songs and has saved many of the songs he sang on the show on her phone.

"Okay! I'll sing a song too! It'll help me digest my food." Chen Qing didn't refuse politely; friends should let loose and have fun when they're together.
