Thousands of people disliked them, but after being reborn and correcting their mistakes, they regret

Xu Fan, with his years of walking experience, walked slowly at the beginning to conserve his energy. While the other fathers and children slowed down, he carried Fu Chun on his back, walking steadily and at a consistent pace.

Fu Chun lay on his back. Xu Fan's eyesight wasn't very good, and he couldn't see clearly ahead, but children's eyesight is very good. Xu Fan only heard the little girl's cheerful voice: "I think I can see a house!"

"Let's walk faster and try to get first place, okay?"

"Yes! First place is ours!"

Seeing that the little girl was finally a bit happier, Xu Fan sped up, determined to win first place for her.

He walked faster and faster, his back still steady. After walking for a while, he saw a few small stone houses in the distance, as well as the director and his entourage.

Finally, he entered the village.

He slowly squatted down so that Fu Chun could get down.

The little girl skipped and hopped up to Old Hu: "Are we number one?"

"Of course!" Old Hu hadn't expected that Xu Fan and Fu Chun would be the first place.

Old Hu walked the mountain path with the fathers and children; he wasn't carrying any weight and didn't have to take care of the kids. Along the way, he noticed that Fu Chun didn't like Xu Fan. Later, when the fathers were arguing, he quickly walked away. It wasn't that he didn't want to mediate, but the production team wouldn't let him get involved.

When Xu Fan and the others came over, Lao Hu saw that the little girl was actually lying on Xu Fan's back, being carried by him. It seems that the shared experience of walking the mountain road has improved the relationship between the father and daughter.

"Holy crap, the first one to arrive is Xu Fan."

"What's so shocking? They've been behaving themselves and haven't caused any trouble."

"I still hate him..."

"I don't think he's that bad, otherwise why would Chun Chun be willing to let him carry her?"

"The child is just tired..."

"Thank you!" Xu Fan took the two bottles of ice water handed to him by the production team, unscrewed one of them, and handed it to Fu Chun: "Would you like some water?"

Why ask such a small question? Fu Chun gave Xu Fan a strange look before taking the drink.

Xu Fan was very happy. What Fu Chun didn't know was that the reason Xu Fan asked her about everything, even something as small as drinking water, was because, from childhood to adulthood, everyone who handled Xu Fan's things disliked them, thinking they were dirty and wouldn't want him to touch them. Even if they did accept them, they would look disgusted.

He just watched Fu Chun drink water, occasionally reminding her, "The water's a bit cold, drink slowly." Fu Chun couldn't stand his loving gaze anymore and snapped at him, "Leave me alone! You drink too."

"Okay~" Xu Fan then unscrewed the cap and took a sip of water. The sip of ice water relieved the dryness a lot.

Xu Fan and Fu Chun sat side by side on the steps, waiting for the other fathers and children to return.

The second to arrive were Wen Jingqian and Li Jiajia, the father and daughter who were the most emotionally stable. They walked slowly and were surprisingly the second to arrive.

Wen Jingqian: "Are you alright?"

Li Jiajia: "It's alright."

The third one is Lin Ke. At this point, he had completely given up. His suitcase, which contained expensive skincare products, was dragging on the ground. He didn't care if it would break. His expression was one of utter despair because he was just too tired.

On the last stretch of the journey, he asked Chen Lingling what was in her suitcase. The girl replied that it was books, and he wasn't resentful anymore. It was a good thing that the girl liked to read.

When he got there and saw Chen Lingling's adoring gaze, he felt less tired.

The fourth was Pei Yin. Thanks to Xu Fan's medicated oil to refresh him, he felt much better afterward. Although the sandbag was heavy, at least he wasn't last.

"Last place! I give up!" That loud and boastful tone was definitely Ji Yuzhi's; his initial goal was first place!

He came in last place because Chaochao couldn't walk anymore and was throwing a tantrum on the ground. He was furious and wanted to beat the child up, but since he wasn't his own child, it wouldn't be right to hit him, so he had to hold back!

After much persuasion and encouragement, they arrived to find that Ji Yuzhi had come in last place. The fiercely competitive Ji Yuzhi was both angry and upset. How could he be so unlucky on the very first day of the show! First the bratty kid, then the effeminate guy who dirtied his clothes, and now last place again!

Now that the rankings are out, everyone has many questions about the rewards proposed by the production team.

Old Hu took out five sheets of paper, which showed the exterior and interior layout of five houses.

"These are the five apartments where our dads and kids will be staying. The dads and kids who arrive first can choose!"

The five houses all look similar; all the houses in Stone Village are made of stone. The only difference is their interior layout.

Room 1 is the most luxurious, with a separate bathroom and kitchen. The room has a large bed, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and air conditioning. The walls are painted white, making it look very clean and tidy. It's clearly a house for young people.

Room 2 also has a separate bathroom and kitchen. The room is quite simple, with a bed of medium size, wooden floors, and no air conditioning, only an electric fan. However, behind Room 2, there is a large vegetable garden with many fruits and vegetables.

Room 3 was alright; the room was fairly clean and tidy, and had a separate kitchen, but no bathroom. The owners were an elderly couple who usually showered in the room. There was no flush toilet; it was a latrine.

Room 4 was rather run-down. There was a small bed in the room, a small table next to it with an induction cooker and a small pot, and that was it.

Room 5 could be described as bare and dilapidated, with drafty windows. The production team found an old house that had been uninhabited for a long time. The young people in the house had settled elsewhere, and the elderly had passed away long ago. Once a house is uninhabited, it will quickly deteriorate. The production team cleaned it up a bit, put a single bed in it, and then left it there.

The guests passed around five sheets of paper to each other, and each had a house in mind that they wanted to choose.

"Now, let's have our first choice: Mr. Xu Fan and little Fu Chun make their selections first!"

Xu Fan stepped forward. Although he already had a house in mind, he still asked Fu Chun for her opinion first: "Is there one you like?"

Fu Chun thought for a moment: "Room number one is good, but I prefer room number two, where there are vegetables to eat."

Xu Fan thought so too. He wasn't very smart and his reactions were slow. This first place was purely by luck. If he didn't perform well in the various competitions on the show in the future, he might not get any rankings or rewards. The little girl was growing, and he couldn't let her go hungry.

Xu Fan said to Lao Hu, "We'll choose room number two."

"Pfft! Hahahaha, you're stupid! Room number one is so good, why did you choose room number two!" Ji Yuzhi mercilessly mocked Xu Fan.

In his opinion, living in a good place is the most important thing. As for the vegetables, they are completely unnecessary. Surely the production team wouldn't let him and his child starve to death!

Xu Fan heard this but did not refute it; he simply took the paper from room number 2 in silence.

What a pushover! Doesn't he even know how to argue back? Although Lin Ke didn't like Xu Fan, this guy had at least helped him resolve a conflict. He said to Ji Yuzhi, "Room 2 isn't bad either; it's better than someone being destined to live in the worst room!"

"you!"

"What, did someone touch a nerve? I wasn't lying this time, was I?"

"...Hmph!" Ji Yuzhi ignored him. Talking to this guy would drive him crazy one day.

Xu Fan felt grateful when he heard Lin Ke speak up for him: Indeed, he really is a good person!

Lin Ke felt Xu Fan's gaze again, but he didn't meet Xu Fan's eyes and just turned his head away arrogantly.

I'm just returning a favor! That's right, that's all!

The second Wen Jingqian decisively chose Mansion No. 1.

Although Lin Ke was very dissatisfied with the lack of a bathroom, it was the best of the remaining three apartments, so he took apartment number 3.

Pei Yin took room number 4; at least he had a pot.

Ji Yuzhi could only take room number 5. He glared fiercely at Chaochao, who was engrossed in playing with his Nezha toy and completely ignored him.

It's all because of this brat! When has he ever lived in such a terrible house? But it's okay, this kid has to suffer with him!
