The longed-for village system

Chapter 280 Mushroom House Meeting

Sister Chen had no choice but to advise, "Xiao Gu, you should eat less when you get back. I'll put these dishes in the insulated box. If you're hungry when you come back tonight, you can take them out and eat them."

"Okay, Sister Chen, I'll head over now! You should eat your food early too!"

As soon as Zhao Xiaogu finished speaking, she couldn't wait to run away. If it weren't for her big belly, she could have reached the Mushroom House and sat down for a meal in 20 seconds.

As Chen Qing stepped out of the Mushroom House courtyard, he saw a figure running towards him. Without even looking closely, he knew it was Zhao Xiaogu. He immediately stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Are you crazy! You're heavily pregnant and you're still running like this."

"Hehe! Brother Chen is fine. I was just worried about keeping everyone waiting."

Zhao Xiaogu laughed without a care in the world. The fetus was now quite stable, and besides, she had her own doctor husband to worry about.
"You! Other pregnant women have a decreased appetite, but you're the opposite, your appetite is getting better and better." Chen Qing looked at Zhao Xiaogu with a doting expression, and slowly walked towards the Mushroom House with her little hand in his.

"Sister Chen said that being able to eat is a blessing, so of course I want to eat more!"

The fans in the live stream were fed another dose of PDA as they watched the two of them on camera. However, they also gained a new understanding of the foodie Zhao Xiaogu. Indeed, the only thing that can make a foodie lose herself is food.

Upon seeing Zhao Xiaogu enter, He Jiong and others greeted her warmly. Nazha also gave Zhao Xiaogu a light hug, and then looked at Zhao Xiaogu's belly and said, "Not bad, it's developing very well. Eat more and take good care of the baby!"

"Fine, so you think only the child is important and I'm not? Looks like you'll have to be the child's stepmother."

Naza didn't take Zhao Xiaogu's threat to heart at all, and calmly replied, "It doesn't matter! As long as I'm still the child's godmother, stepmother is fine! It just shows that I'm young!"

Nazha: Doesn't a stepmother sound closer than a godmother? She'd be more than happy to have one!

"Alright, everyone, please sit down and eat! Aren't you hungry?" Chen Qing interrupted their conversation.

Hearing Chen Qing's words, everyone began to take their seats. Nazha immediately started eating the hairy crabs she liked. Although Zhao Xiaogu also wanted to eat them, she knew that pregnant women shouldn't eat hairy crabs, so she could only eat the abalone soup.

While eating and chatting, Teacher He, of course, asked Zhao Xiaogu, the person involved, about her feelings when she listened to Chen Qing sing his new song.

"Little Chen's new song is of course the best, and thank you to all the netizens for translating it."

While expressing her opinion, Zhao Xiaogu also thanked netizens for translating the lyrics, since she knew nothing about Cantonese and was able to understand what the man was singing entirely thanks to the netizens' translations in the comments.

"What do you think about Xiao Chen's statement that he has run out of creative ideas and is preparing to retire?" Teacher He continued the interview.

“Great! That way, Brother Chen can leave the village and film with me. We can get married again in the TV series, and we can even use real marriage certificates.”

Zhao Xiaogu responded with a smile, but she knew very well that Chen Qing would never leave the village. It was impossible before, and it was even more impossible now. This was to turn Manyuan Village into a star village.

As for the so-called creative exhaustion? Just take it with a grain of salt. Do you think the title of a prodigy comes easily?
“Brother Chen, I support you, but I’d support you even more to hold a few concerts first. It would be even better if you could record the songs you’ve sung before,” Nazha suggested.

Her fans in the live stream all agreed with her idea, and even some of her haters who were originally against her spoke up.

"Naza, if you can persuade Brother Chen to hold a concert or release an album, we will definitely stop criticizing you." "That's right, that's right. If this is successful, it will be a great achievement for you. We will not only stop criticizing you, but we will also follow you and like your posts."

"This is a great opportunity to turn things around. You'd better seize it. Don't say we haters didn't give you a chance. If you don't succeed, we'll smear you and make it to the trending topics."

"Thumbs up!"

“+1.”

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Lao Wang and the others didn't know whether to tell Nazha or not. They never imagined that eliminating haters would be done in this way. Brother Chen Qing is indeed a magical existence.

Of course, even if she were to tell, she wouldn't say it in front of the camera. That would be too deliberate and would make people feel that Nazha has ulterior motives. They also feel sorry for this beautiful actress who is being criticized by the entire internet.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the entertainment began. With the drinks to liven things up, even Teacher Huang was much more active than usual, teasing Little H and Little O with a small ball.

The new episode of the Mushroom House's human-dog ball-grabbing contest has begun! This time, the ball-grabbing team consists of Chen Qing, Peng Peng, Xiao H, and Xiao O. Although Chen Qing thinks it's a bit silly, the whole family is having a lively and fun time together.
Zhao Xiaogu, Nazha, and her sister all looked at Peng Peng and Chen Qing with smiles on their faces. Zhao Xiaogu, in particular, was full of anticipation. She had never seen Brother Chen do something so silly before! He had only drunk some alcohol today, and he would never do such a thing under normal circumstances.

"Ready? On your marks! Run!"

As Teacher Huang threw the ball in his hand, the Mushroom House instantly erupted into chaos. The colorful lights were startled by the sudden noise and flew off their positions. The entire Mushroom House was filled with laughter.

"Haha! Little H is such a coward. He had the ball, but Little O's shout scared him so much that he dropped it."

"Xiao Chen, Peng Peng, you two are no good! You can't even outrun Xiao H and Xiao O."

Peng Peng just laughed at Teacher He's merciless mockery, happy as long as he was happy. But Chen Qing wouldn't stay silent. He retorted to Teacher He, who was watching the show, "Teacher He, you try it. Little H and Little O will tell you that two legs can never outrun four legs."

"Come on then, we young people aren't afraid of anything, Nazha, come with me!"

Naza didn't expect that watching from the sidelines would backfire, but she also knew that He Jiong was helping her get screen time. After all, such a wonderful scene wouldn't be deleted in the later broadcast, and the fans in the live broadcast room would also see another side of her.

"Alright! I won't lose. We XJ girls grew up running on the grasslands. Today I'll show you my true strength."

You can lose the game, but you can't lose your fighting spirit.
The final result was self-evident: the two were completely outmatched by the two dogs, and their scores were even worse than Chen Qing and Peng Peng's. Naturally, their performance drew merciless ridicule from Chen Qing and Peng Peng.

"I ate too much tonight, watch me next time." Teacher He gave herself a way out and gracefully backed down.

Everyone just laughed heartily at Teacher He's stubbornness. They didn't care at all whether he was embarrassed or not; they were just happy.

After the sports meet at Mushroom House ended, an entertainment party began. This time, Teacher Huang led the way by playing an old song on the guitar. Of course, Chen Qing was completely confused, but the fact that Teacher He and Peng Peng could sing along showed that the song was still well-known in this world.
