Xia MO spat out the peanut shells. “I also wanted to lease a piece of vacant land. I’ve always wanted to open a flower shop. I even have a name in mind: Bread and Garden.”

“What does it mean?”

“I want to sell flowers and bake too. So, I want it to feel like a garden, and people can enjoy the bread and cake I bake as well.”

“It sounds great.”

[Is the name really good?]

[It sounds pretty good. It’s well-planned. Life in the countryside is difficult for those who have no money. But for those moving from the city after saving up money, it can be pretty nice.]

[That’s true.]

Nannan and Xia MO didn’t notice the comments. They were busy discussing the benefits of living in the countryside.

Xia MO shared her lofty ambitions.

[Xia MO’s grand plan needs to be realized soon.]

[Transforming the village into a large garden is possible. Teacher Xia, come to our village.]

[Teacher Xia said she wants to return to her hometown and renovate her house.]

[I was born and raised in the countryside, but I don’t find life difficult here. Although we don’t eat extravagant dishes and spend lavishly, we don’t lick basic necessities.]

Xia MO happened to glance at the comments.

“Everyone was listening?”

[Teacher Xia, you and Nannan were talking loudly in front of the camera. How could we not hear you?]

[Xia MO, we support your “Bread and Garden” idea. Please keep us posted on the address when it finally happens.]

“It was just casual talk. I don’t have anything concrete planned.”

[Your idea is great. No matter how ordinary the name might sound, it will flourish because it’s your business.]

Xia MO was speechless.

“Nannan, I remember there’s a flower field in Lan Village. Can we go take a

look?” asked Xia MO, making an excuse to leave.

“Ah? Okay… Let’s go!”

When they walked out of view of the cameras, Xia MO muttered, “I’m doomed!”

“Why? It’s good to have a dream. What if it really comes true?”

“To be honest, it would be great if I could do that.”

“Xia MO! Nannan!” Tao Jingyuan had come out for a walk because she was feeling overwhelmed. She saw the other two guests and called out to her.

“What are you discussing? You look happy.”

Nannan told her about Xia Mo’s plan to open a bakery and a garden in the countryside. Tao Jingyuan even expressed an interest in investing in it.

The three friends discussed the idea.

On the basketball court, two grown men were being overwhelmed in a game of basketball by three children.

Pei Lingfeng’s basketball skills were on par with Xiao Yi’s, but Michael was not very good at it. He couldn’t compete against the Li brothers.

They decided to take a break. Michael stood with his hands on his hips. “Coach Pei, didn’t I tell you? We can’t treat these three kids as kids during the game. You still don’t believe me?”

Pei Lingfeng was out of breath. He didn’t expect Michael to be so bad at basketball.

“Uncle Pei!” Li Zexin called out to Pei Lingfeng and gave him a thumbs-up. Michael pouted. “I’m dragging you down. We should play two-on-two.”

“That works. Uncle Michael, you can be the referee for the second half,” said Xiao Yi. “Let’s do this. Let’s make a team by using our palms. Any two people with their palms facing upward will be a team. The other two will form another team. ”

“Alright,” said Pei Lingfeng. “Let’s play a new match in ten minutes.”

One of the staff members, who was on patrol, watched the match for a while and, with the consent of the parties involved, brought in a camera.

The fans in the livestream rooms were getting bored. Just then, they got a notification about a basketball match.

[Another basketball game! Can’t we have a different sport?] [There are limited choices in the village. Don’t be so picky.]

[I’m leaving. This is boring.]

[I searched online about Coach Pei. He’s from the city’s basketball team. It is no wonder he’s so good.]

The staff sighed helplessly as they looked at the comments. It was a weekday, and they had chosen the most common activity for the guests. It was no wonder that people found it boring.

In the office, everyone discussed and decided to create some excitement by changing tomorrow’s task to an impersonation activity. The guests would try to impersonate characters from TV shows or fairy tales. The staff went out of the village to buy fabrics and sewing supplies. They would be distributed to each household. The guests would be required to sew the costume for the character they were impersonating. In the afternoon, they would be given three minutes to perform.

In the evening, only the staff on duty remained in the village. Everyone else went to town to purchase props.

In the Li family’s courtyard, Li Yanchen made dumplings that looked odd.

The three children didn’t want to eat them at first. However, after a while, they decided they would make dumplings themselves and eat them.

The filling was made of chives and eggs. The dumpling wrappers were leftovers from the ones they had made the previous day. Lin Wan had brought some back.

The chives had a strong flavor, and Lin Wan couldn’t understand why Li Yanchen liked them so much.

She admitted that they tasted delicious, but the smell lingered in the kitchen for a long time after eating them.

While cooking the dumplings, Lin Wan couldn’t help but ask Li Yanchen why he liked such strong flavors.

He smiled. “It’s just… some foods are good for stamina, especially at night.”

Lin Wan understood his meaning.

“Get lost! ”

After dinner that day, the children brushed their teeth and went to play with their friends.

Lin Wan headed to the bedroom. Li Yanchen was waiting for her. They had something romantic in mind.

After tidying up the messy bedding, the two sat in the courtyard and pretended as though nothing had happened.

“Yang Ruoxi used to say that if you eat garlic and still can talk with the person you like, it means you feel comfortable with them.”

Li Yanchen coughed out the water he was drinking. “But when I was going to eat that mint candy, you stopped me! Were you testing me?”

“It wasn’t really a test. I just wanted to see if we could accept each other as we were. Messy and all..

“I love you whether you’re a butterfly or a fly. It doesn’t matter to me.”

“Why does that sound like a backhanded compliment? I recorded it. I will keep it as proof and see if you are still willing to kiss me when I am all wrinkled like a prune.” Li Yanchen chuckled. “Sure.”

“Oh, you rascal!”

Just as Lin Wan fell into Li Yanchen’s arms and they kissed, Lu Zexuan happened to walk into the courtyard.

Lin Wan pushed Li Yanchen away. “Li Yanchen, I told you to behave appropriately in front of the children!”

Li Yanchen pouted.. It was clearly her who had initiated the kiss!
