Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 436 Wutong Village!

Chapter 436: Chapter 436 Wutong Village!

The new recording location was in Wutong Village, a small village quite a distance from the center of Haicheng City. The guests traveled by boat and then by car; it took nearly two hours to arrive.

Some staff from the show had already arrived ahead of time and were all set up with their equipment, ready to shoot.

As soon as Ye Zhenzhen got out of the car, she suddenly felt a bit cold. The pure silk dress she wore felt like it offered no protection at all against the chill.

Although Wutong Village could boast relatively high temperatures in winter, compared to Nanfeng Island, the temperature was still about ten degrees lower. Here, wearing long sleeves and pants was the norm, and in the early morning and evening, an additional coat was necessary.

Song Jinze noticed Ye Zhenzhen’s expression and raised his hand to stop her by the shoulder, gently rubbing it, "Feeling cold?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "A little."

Song Jinze didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, he opened up his suitcase which contained his clothes, took out a coat, and draped it over her, "Put it on."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at him in surprise, "I thought you didn’t bring..."

The instant she got out of the car, she had thought that since Song Jinze packed their luggage, her suitcase contained only dresses and relatively thin clothes for spring and autumn; she didn’t recall seeing any thicker coats.

"Your suitcase couldn’t fit it, so I put it in mine," he said as he closed his suitcase.

"Eh~ sweetness overload, where can one find such a considerate man, my goodness!"

"It’s not just considerateness, he’s also gentle, caring, and has eyes only for his wife, ah, I’m so envious!"

"It’s only these past couple of days that I finally understand why everyone used to say President Song acts like an old man, and why Ye Zhenzhen never refuted it. Such a good man needs to be kept secret!"

"Sister Zhenzhen has said before that her husband isn’t an old man. It’s just that you didn’t believe her!"

"I believe it now, I really do!"

Xu Wanjia, who was also wearing a dress, felt cold as well. She touched Xiao Yiyi’s hand, "It’s a bit chilly, mommy will get you a jacket to wear."

Director Yang, dressed in short sleeves and shorts himself, also chimed in, "Jiajia, I’m feeling a bit cold, too."

"If you’re cold, just put on more clothes!"

Xu Wanjia took out a pink knitted cardigan and put it on Xiao Yiyi, "There we go, not cold anymore!"

Director Yang sighed helplessly from the sidelines, "Didn’t you tell me not to bring a down jacket yesterday? Now all I have are these thin summer clothes."

Xu Wanjia asked, "Didn’t you bring any thick clothes for spring and autumn?"

Director Yang shook his head, "No."

Xu Wanjia: ...

Apart from Xu Wanjia, An Xi and Qiu Wanshuang also started to take out clothes to add layers for themselves and their children.

Ji Ziqian asked Director Yang with a chuckle, "So what are those of us who didn’t bring coats supposed to do for the next few days?"

With their money and phones confiscated, there was no chance to buy any clothes.

Director Yang assured confidently, "The show will provide them."

Ji Ziqian replied, "That’s good then."

"Why do I want to laugh, it just feels like Director Yang has a bit of the comedian in him, haha!"

"Director Yang truly lives up to being a director, everything about him is so theatrical. These past two days, there have been so many twists!"

[It looks like Wutong Village will have rain tomorrow too. The show crew will provide clothes, right?]

[They did provide them in the last episode, so I think they probably will.]

Xiao Yi glanced at Song Jinze with a look that harbored a hint of playful disdain and said to Song Yuchen, "Xiao Chen, why are you dressed so lightly? Why didn’t your dad get you more clothes?"

Song Yuchen was clad in long sleeves and pants. He bent his eyes into a smile and said in a childlike voice, "Because I don’t feel cold, it feels cool and nice, hehe~"

Earlier in the car, he accidentally wet his T-shirt while drinking water, but his mother had already changed his clothes!

Song Yuchen: "Uncle Xiao Yi, are you cold? You’re still wearing shorts and a T-shirt. You should put on another piece of clothing, don’t catch a cold!"

"Uncle isn’t cold; uncle is afraid of the heat. I think this temperature feels pretty good, cool!"

Song Jinze gave Xiao Yi a cold glance but didn’t bother with him.

[Xiao Yi: Attempt to drive a wedge failed!]

[Hahaha, the rivalry between these two grown men is so childish!]

Xiaowen addressed the guests, "Thank you everyone for your hard work. It’s almost lunchtime. The show crew has prepared lunch at the village head’s house in Wutong Village. Once everyone settles in, let’s go to the village head’s house for lunch.

Now comes the most crucial part: the house selection. This time, we will still be playing a game to choose houses. What’s different is that the houses are all separate this time, and I have pictures here, so you can have a look first. When we play the game later, you’ll decide for yourselves."

Xiao Yi stepped forward to take the photos, showing them to the guests one by one, while Xiaowen explained parts of each house not visible in the pictures;

"House number one, Wutong Village number 5, is a two-story Western-style building that’s very clean and tidy inside. However, there’s a cattle shed in the backyard with two cows. If guests choose to stay there, they’ll need to help the homeowner herd cattle."

Song Yuchen, excitedly looking at the large water buffalo in the photo of house one, said, "I want to live in this house, I want to herd cows!"

Ye Zhenzhen laughed, "Bending down to ask, Xiao Chen, do you know how to herd cattle?"

"I don’t know, but I just like this one!"

Gu Xiaoran also raised her hand, "I like this one too, I want to herd cattle!"

Ji Yunyun: "I want the house with ducks!"

Yang Yike: "I like that big dog, I want to live in the big dog house!"

[All the houses look pretty good, it seems only house number four doesn’t have small animals!]

[In the previous two episodes, the guests all stayed in one courtyard; is it because dads have joined this episode that they need separate houses?]

[Obviously, the last two episodes were like that; this time, they’re definitely going to change it up. Although yesterday’s deserted island was very different, too bad we can’t see it!]

Gu Liangjun gave Gu Xiaoran a pat, "Son, let’s choose number four, number four is good."

President Song’s son had already laid claim to the first house, and it certainly wouldn’t do for his own son to compete for it.

An Xi didn’t mind and said on the side, "It’s just child’s play, honey. Take a look before you decide."

She also thought house number one looked good, a Western-style house that was clean and tidy. Just two cows, and if they really managed to pick that house, it wouldn’t be too bad. House number four didn’t look very clean, and there was some kind of machine room, dark and unwelcoming!

Gu Liangjun knew exactly what she was thinking with just a glance, but if Song Yuchen liked the house, her son could also fight for it. You can’t please someone like Song Jinze with just a house anyway. It’s better to live in comfort first.

Xiaowen smiled, "Wait a moment, everyone. After I finish introducing you to the houses, I will also introduce the game rules. Whatever house you’re interested in, let’s strive to get that house later, alright?"
