After lunch, Fang Yanhuan surprisingly took the task of washing dishes.
"Is this a sign that tomorrow will be sunny?" Cui Mantong leaned against Fang Miaomiao, whispering with a laugh in her ear, "Why is she suddenly so well-behaved?"
Fang Miaomiao shook her head with a smile.
"Drink some water."
"Thank you, An An." Fang Miaomiao took the water handed to her by Wen Yan'an.
Since Wen Yan'an observed that she drank water after every meal, he would always bring her a cup of warm water after they finished eating.
"An An is so obedient," Cui Mantong said enviously. "Miaomiao, how are you so good at raising children? Why don't you take Yongsi for a few days?"
Fang Miaomiao looked at the playful Cui Mantong with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Don't talk nonsense. Si Si is also a very outstanding child. Like an older brother, he's taking care of An An."
"Hehe, I think so too."
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
It turns out she just wanted to hear her praise Si Si! But she had to admit, since Shen Jiani and Wang Qing left, the entire show had become much more harmonious.
"How was your morning?" Chen Tianming walked towards them from the studio with a smile. "Children?"
"Fun," Cui Yongsi was the first to reply. "We caught so many fish."
"Is that so? Then Si Si is really amazing."
"My mom is also very amazing."
Everyone was a little surprised. Following the voice, they saw Ye Nan stand up and say to them with determined eyes, "My mom found a really big lobster today."
Even though she was scared and her cheeks were flushed, she repeated it very earnestly.
Chen Huan had been watching Ye Nan when she spoke. Under the subtle guidance of the production team and others, Nan Nan had indeed become much braver compared to before.
Originally, she had been worried that Ye Nan would fall into inferiority and sensitivity again today because of Fang Yanhuan's inappropriate remarks. But it seemed that wasn't the case.
"Yes, Nan Nan's mom was the most amazing today."
"Let's all clap for Nan Nan and Nan Nan's mom."
The children happily clapped, and Ye Nan, blushing, lost all the courage she had just exerted to prove herself. She turned and shyly burrowed into Chen Huan's arms.
"Hahaha, Nan Nan is shy," Fang Miaomiao said with a smile.
"She's shy, she's shy, Sister Nan Nan is shy."
"Hahaha."
In the base camp, there was laughter and joy.
[This is so good. I find it quite nice to occasionally watch a variety show without any drama or arguments. The children are too cute. I believe that after the show ends, Nan Nan will regain her confidence. The previous Nan Nan was so heartbreaking to watch.]
[Yes, I find them all so understanding. That's why they kept teasing Ye Nan and then praised and encouraged her after she offered suggestions. After watching this, I feel like I'm a bit harsh with my own children. I must speak to them calmly from now on.]
[Children are very sensitive. Adults might just say a few careless words, but children will definitely remember them clearly. Don't ask me how I know, my mom often said she would abandon me if I was disobedient when I was little. This has really left me with a trauma. Every night when I fall asleep, I dream of being kicked out of the house.]
[Hugs to the person above. It's okay, everything will pass. What you need to do now is protect yourself, believe you are the best, and believe that the future is beautiful.]
"What are you laughing at?"
"We're laughing because Nan Nan is shy." Wu Yueyuan ran to Ye Nan's side. "But Nan Nan, you are really brave. Yuan Yuan really admires you."
Shy Ye Nan, like a startled little deer, cautiously peeked out from Chen Huan's arms and looked at Wu Yueyuan. "Really?"
"Of course. Expressing your thoughts bravely is a very courageous thing. I will learn from you more in the future."
"Go play with them," Chen Huan said to Ye Nan, stroking her head.
"Okay."
Ye Nan nodded obediently, placing her hand into Wu Yueyuan's outstretched hand.
After the adults sat on the beach and basked in the sun for a while, they began to plan the tasks for the afternoon.
After hearing about the tasks, Fang Yanhuan was the first to express her idea. "I want to gather firewood."
"Are you sure? That's heavy work."
Not only did they have to find the firewood, but they also had to bring it back to the base camp.
"Yes." Fang Yanhuan nodded, apologizing. "This morning, due to my own issues, I did some things that were not right. So, I want to gather firewood."
"What do you all think?" Zhou Jiaxin asked.
Fang Miaomiao shrugged. "I'm fine with anything."
"Me too."
Chen Huan didn't say anything but nodded.
"In that case, we'll have to trouble Yanhuan."
Seeing that no one was competing with her, Fang Yanhuan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she had lost a lot of fans because of what happened this morning. Now, she had to change the audience's perception of her, so she chose to gather firewood first.
If she also accidentally got injured, her reputation would be restored. In the end, it would only benefit her.
With this thought, Fang Yanhuan enthusiastically stood up and walked towards the woods.
"Letting her gather firewood alone, won't that be a bit difficult?" Zhou Jiaxin frowned, saying with some concern, "Originally, I planned for us to first go together to collect some seafood and go fishing to ensure dinner, and then gather firewood together."
"It's fine. Fang Yanhuan can go scout the path first. We'll join her to gather firewood after we're done here," Cui Mantong said, choosing not to expose Fang Yanhuan's intentions.
For her, as long as Fang Yanhuan didn't cause any trouble, she wouldn't really care about her attempts to gain fans or other deliberate actions.
With their minds made up, the three adults and four children trotted towards the beach.
"My goodness, Miaomiao, your luck is incredible! Why don't you buy a lottery ticket? You'd definitely win big!" Cui Mantong looked enviously at Fang Miaomiao's bucket.
It was the same stretch of sea, the same time, so why could Fang Miaomiao find conch shells and even squid all at once, while she could only find some shellfish?
"Hehe, this," Fang Miaomiao looked at Cui Mantong's resentful expression and could only spread her hands innocently. "I can't help it. Why don't you stay close to me?"
"Okay, okay." Cui Mantong nodded happily and trotted behind Fang Miaomiao.
Because of Fang Miaomiao's amazing presence, they quickly gathered enough food for dinner, and even enough for breakfast the next day.
Everyone returned to the base camp to rest for a while, then headed into the woods.
"It's good that we didn't let the children come. These weeds are taller than my waist."
"We've been walking for so long and still haven't seen any sign of Fang Yanhuan and the cameraman. Could something have happened to them?" Zhou Jiaxin said with some concern.
"It shouldn't be, right? Didn't the director say this island is very safe?" Cui Mantong comforted her.
As soon as she finished speaking, a pained "Ah" sound came from not far away.
The few of them looked at each other and ran quickly towards the source of the sound.
