Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Xiao Yi is the Younger Brother

Xiao Yi immediately reached out to stop him.

Song Jinze looked up, his eyes filled with displeasure at being interrupted by Xiao Yi, "You add water ah, this dough is too sticky, a bit of water will fix it."

Xiao Yi laughed, the mocking kind, "You just said it’s sticky, and you still want to add water? How can you be so hopeless at this?"

"I’m hopeless? As if you’re any better. Can you do it?"

Xiao Yi blinked and nodded, "I can."

"Then you do it."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I’m the special guest here, I’m only responsible for eating, not working."

"So that means you can’t do it. Why are you showing off here? And just so you know, if you don’t help out with the cooking at my place, you don’t get to eat. Go wash those vegetables."

Xiao Yi scowled, this damned guy!

"Move aside, I’ll make the dough; you go wash the veggies."

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Song Jinze’s lips twitched slightly. He immediately stood up, suppressing the smile that was playing on his lips, and said with undisguised disdain, "Go wash your hands first, there’s water over there."

"Fine, I’ll wash!"

[Damn! Why do I feel there’s something off about these two guys? Their conversation feels so natural, so... that. I really want to ship them...]

[The person in front, don’t talk nonsense, what’s so off about it? Best Actor Xiao already said it, President Song is the brother, and Zhenzhen is the sister-in-law. Don’t ship them randomly!]

[It’s fine to ship couples, but don’t go overboard. Zhenzhen and President Song are married, and Xiao Yi is the younger brother. Keep that in mind!]

[No random shipping, no random shipping. I’m just watching them make breakfast for Zhenzhen!]

[It’s another day I find myself wanting to be Ye Zhenzhen. I’m not even out of bed yet, and I want these two handsome guys to make breakfast for me!]

After washing his hands, Xiao Yi really did take Song Jinze’s spot and started kneading the dough.

He didn’t add water but instead added more flour to the bowl, complaining as he did so, "You think it’s sticky because there’s not enough flour, too much water. Just add a little water and it’ll be fine."

Song Jinze took some cabbage and carrots to wash by the side, glancing at Xiao Yi without saying a word.

How could Song Jinze not know that Xiao Yi could knead dough? It’s just that he himself couldn’t. Xiao Yi’s arrival was timely; someone was there to help, so his breakfast could be made earlier.

Listening to the sounds, it seemed Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen were still asleep; they still had time.

Xiao Yi then asked, "What breakfast are you planning to make?"

Song Jinze answered, "Dumplings."

"Then wash the cabbage and carrots thoroughly, chop them up, sprinkle some salt for marination, and let the vegetables dehydrate. After that, mix the meat filling. Can you do that?"

"I don’t eat boiled dumplings, by the way. Remember to fry a plate of dumplings for me later."

"And, don’t put in green onions. I don’t eat green onions."

Xiao Yi kept nagging, and Song Jinze just responded emotionlessly, "Hmm."

Verbally agreeing, Song Jinze grabbed the green onions and started washing them thoroughly...

[Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter here; these two really sound like a married couple!]

[As I’ve said, don’t talk nonsense. What couple’s conversation? They are brothers, brothers!]

[Normal conversations between spouses should involve pampering like President Song does with Zhenzhen. Here, all I see is Song Jinze’s impatience and perfunctory attitude, and then there’s Best Actor Xiao who’s a bit of a chatterbox!]

[Everyone knows that Best Actor Xiao might look aloof but is actually a chatterbox, hahaha!]

[I’m not saying anything else, I’m just insanely jealous of Ye Zhenzhen, sob sob sob~]

...

Aside from Gu Liangjun’s family, who hadn’t yet gotten out of bed, the other three families had already started making breakfast.

An Xi kicked Gu Liangjun while lying in the tent, "Honey, the production team’s task is for you to get ingredients to make breakfast. Hurry up, or there won’t be any left if you wake up late."

Gu Liangjun turned over impatiently, "Don’t want to eat in the morning!"

Expecting him to get up early? How could that be!

Yesterday, because of the flight, he had been forcefully woken up, and these past couple of days, he was incredibly annoyed with An Xi. Besides, last night’s sleep by the sea was so noisy, and he hadn’t slept well, he definitely wasn’t going to get up now.

An Xi sighed and got up helplessly.

It was a huge mistake to have Gu Liangjun join this program this time!

Gu Xiaoran also had the habit of oversleeping, but he had heard the conversation between Gu Liangjun and An Xi. He opened his eyes, a look of pity in them, and he asked An Xi, "Are we going to have nothing to eat again this morning?"

If Dad didn’t go get the ingredients, they wouldn’t be able to make breakfast, right? Then he would be hungry again.

"If your dad doesn’t get up, we won’t have anything to eat. If he gets up and gets the ingredients, we’ll have food. You call him to get up."

An Xi had no way of dealing with Gu Liangjun; she knew very well what kind of person he was. He always pretended to be smart and even-tempered in front of others, but he was forever impatient with his own family.

Moreover, Gu Liangjun was particularly grumpy in the morning. If she kept bothering him, he might lose his temper, and who knows, the whole internet might end up knowing about their family fighting on the program.

As dissatisfied as she felt in her heart, she had to endure it for now.

Gu Xiaoran got up, shaking Gu Liangjun’s arm, "Daddy, get up quickly. If you don’t get up now, all the ingredients will be gone, and I will be hungry again. I don’t want to be hungry, please get up."

"Being hungry for a bit won’t kill you, we’ll have food by noon. Don’t you also skip breakfast at home?" Gu Liangjun said, turning over irritably.

He had already been disinclined to participate in this task when he heard about it last night. Early wakeup to fetch ingredients and then having to cook himself—he’d rather go hungry than bother with it.

Gu Xiaoran looked at An Xi, eyes brimming with tears, "Mom, what should we do?"

This time he didn’t directly call An Xi by her name but instead called her "mom."

An Xi hugged the little guy into her arms. Outside the tent, she could hear the sound of chopping vegetables and men talking;

"This skin is too thick!"

That was Song Jinze speaking.

Their tent was only a few steps away from Ye Zhenzhen’s tent, almost adjoining, and with the breeze from the sea, she could clearly hear the noises from next door.

"Honey, President Song is already up. Listen, they’re chopping vegetables next door. If you keep sleeping, it might not look good, right?"

To curry favor with Song Jinze was what Gu Liangjun wanted, so An Xi decided to use Song Jinze to make a point.

Sure enough, upon hearing An Xi’s words, Gu Liangjun immediately got up. He rubbed his face; had An Xi not reminded him, he would have forgotten the purpose of his visit.

"Son, don’t worry, Dad is going to get something for you right now, and make you breakfast," he said.

After speaking, Gu Liangjun quickly dressed and stepped out of the tent.

The cameraman brother, waiting outside, hurriedly started filming and followed Gu Liangjun.

[Yo yo yo, this family has finally gotten up! Others have almost finished making their meals, and they’re just waking up!]

[President Song’s family is making dumplings, Director Yang is making flatbreads, Ji Ziqian is preparing noodles; I have to see what kind of pig swill Gu Liangjun is going to throw together in a moment!]

[Hahaha, if he makes pig swill, will he wolf down three big bowls again?]
