After making their choices, the fathers took their children to the houses.

Xu Fan walked to the door of room number two, pushed it open and took a look. He was very satisfied with the place. It was clean and tidy, and the backyard was planted with lush green beans and huge eggplants, which looked very fresh.

Fu Chun thought the place was very simple, but thankfully it was clean enough to make do.

Lin Ke dragged her suitcase to room number three, just in time to see Xu Fan coming out of room number two.

What the heck! What a small world, this weirdo is my neighbor! What if he climbs through my window at night and harasses me?!

The thought sent a chill down his spine, and he quickly pulled Lingling inside.

Although he couldn't catch up with No. 1 or No. 2, it was still acceptable, at least better than No. 4 or No. 5! He comforted himself with this thought.

"This is our home now~" He was still very gentle with Lingling.

"Mmm!" Lingling's eyes sparkled. She really liked the house and her handsome dad!

Wen Jingqian brought Jiajia to the No. 1 mansion, which was indeed exquisite and comfortable.

"What do you think? I think it's great."

"I think it's great too."

The exchange has ended.

Pei Yin and Ji Yuzhi also brought their children to their house. As soon as Pei Yin entered, a damp, musty smell hit him, but at least the bed was clean and there was a pot, so he didn't have to worry about starving.

Ji Yuzhi only touched the wooden door, and it crumbled. He gently pushed it open, and a whiff of dust hit him. There was a lot of dust on the bed, and when he looked up, he saw that the ceiling had collapsed. Chaochao next to him yelled, "This is so shabby! I don't want to live in this house!"

Ji Yuzhi couldn't take it anymore and yelled at him, "It's all because of you! What are you yelling about!"

Chaochao had never seen him so angry before and was so frightened that he forgot to cry and stopped talking.

The fathers had just put their luggage away when they received a task from the production team.

"Dad and kids, it's getting late, you must be hungry. Please make your own dinner; the production team won't be providing any assistance."

"Damn it!" Ji Yuzhi cursed out loud. He had been incredibly unlucky since arriving at this show, and he had completely forgotten that he was still live. He had just mocked Xu Fan, and now this was a huge slap in the face! At least the other person wouldn't starve!

"Hahaha, he was just mocking Xu Fan!"

"How many swear words has this person used since appearing on the show?"

"He's a genuine person, you know that!"

Other guests also received it.

Lin Ke found the kitchen in his house, where there were some vegetables, flour, and rice, but he had absolutely no idea how to cook! He paced back and forth anxiously, then thought of Lingling's thin face, barely the size of a palm, and decided to give it his all!

He walked toward the stove with a death-defying spirit.

Wen Jingqian has cooked at home and can cook some simple things, such as noodles, and that's all he can cook.

"Would noodles be okay?"

"Can."

The exchange has ended.

"Still fast..."

"Doesn't anyone find this way of communicating a little strange?"

"That's how we Dan people are."

Pei Yin had a pot at home but no ingredients. He walked around the neighborhood and chose an aunt's house. He went in with a sweet smile and said, "Sister, we're here to participate in the show, but they won't feed me and the child. We're so hungry~ Could you give me some vegetables?"

The auntie was overjoyed, her smile crinkling into wrinkles: "Oh my! This is the first time a handsome young man has called me 'sister'! Wait here, I'll go get it for you!"

The aunt got carried away by the praise and completely forgot that the production team and the villagers had told them not to offer any help to the guests.

"Okay! Thank you, sister!"

"As expected! No one can resist Yinbao's smile!"

"If it were me, I'd give him anything!"

"Holy crap, this actually works!"

Ji Yuzhi had neither a pot nor a kitchen, and his children were disobedient. He went out for some fresh air to clear his head and think about what to do. He then saw Pei Yin coming out with some vegetables and packaged bread.

Pei Yin left after receiving the food, and Ji Yuzhi, feeling a strong urge to steal, hid behind a big tree. After Pei Yin had gone far away, he went to his aunt's house and imitated Pei Yin: "Auntie, could you give me some vegetables too?" He then flashed what he thought was a very handsome smile.

The aunt was furious. Others called him "sister," but he called him "auntie"!

She pushed and kicked Ji Yuzhi away, saying, "That's all, that's all!" Then she ruthlessly closed the door.

"Is this right? Why can he?!" He was about to explode with anger again.

"His failure was due to his lack of sweet talk."

"This is hilarious, grandma, hahaha!"

"His every move on this show makes me think he has incredibly low emotional intelligence..."

Xu Fan was glad he chose a house with a vegetable garden, but nobody thought his cooking was delicious. He wondered if Fu Chunxi would like it...

He found flour and yeast in the kitchen and decided to make some steamed buns and stir-fry some green beans and eggplants.

Fu Chun was exhausted and fell asleep peacefully on the bed.

Xu Fan went over and turned on the fan for her, covered her lower abdomen with a blanket, closed the door, and went to cook.

He put the flour and yeast in a bowl, kneaded the dough skillfully, and then waited for it to ferment.

"No, this family can even cook!"

"Actually, I've always felt that he's not from a privileged background. Who would dress so shabbily if they had such good connections?"

"His hands have calluses! You only get them from doing manual labor."

While waiting for the dough to rise, Xu Fan picked some fresh green beans and eggplants. He trimmed the ends off the green beans and skillfully scored the eggplants. Midway through, he found potatoes in the kitchen and decided to make a potato and eggplant stew with green beans.

After preparing the dough and adding the seasonings, Xu Fan added some water and let it steam. Then she deflated the risen dough, shaped it, and rolled it into round pieces of the same size before placing them in the steamer. The whole process was orderly and efficient.

Then you just have to wait quietly for them to ripen.

"I really think he can cook."

"Just like my mom's technique!"

After Xu Fan finished doing all this, he went to check on Fu Chun. The little girl was still fast asleep, clearly exhausted.

He sat in the backyard for a while, breathing in the fresh air unique to the countryside. He thought that maybe he could stop renting houses in the county town and buy a small house that no one else wanted in the countryside, grow some vegetables, and be self-sufficient. That would be good and wouldn't bother anyone.

As he was thinking, he suddenly smelled the aroma of flour; the steamed buns should be ready.

Lifting the lid, you see plump, white steamed buns lying inside, their surfaces perfectly smooth.

In another pot, the potato and eggplant stew was ready. It smelled delicious, and the potatoes were stewed until soft and tender. It looked very appetizing.

The camera gave them a close-up shot.

"No, I really want to eat this!"

"It looks so delicious!"

"This big steamed bun looks really appealing!"

Xu Fan took a steamed bun, scooped out some potatoes, eggplants, and green beans, put them on the table, and went to call Fu Chun to eat.

This little guy is so tired he's fallen asleep, he must be hungry too.

"Wake up, time to eat," Xu Fan squatted down in front of the bed and patted Fu Chun's arm.

Fu Chun hadn't had enough sleep yet, and impatiently waved Xu Fan's hand away: "Ugh... I don't want to eat, I want to sleep."

"Eat before you sleep, okay?" Perhaps it was because Xu Fan's tone was too soft and gentle, but Fu Chun looked up at him.

Gentle and fragrant, just like Mom...

Still groggy from just waking up, she stretched out her arms: "Hug..."

Xu Fan's heart melted when he heard the soft, sweet tune. He loved children; they were so adorable. How could he refuse such a small request?

He carefully picked up Fu Chun and placed her on a chair in the living room.

Fu Chun smelled the fragrance and became mostly sober.

I actually let that idiot hug me! She wouldn't even let her uncle hug her!

Never mind, I was the one who brought it up.

"Is this all we're going to eat?" The young lady looked at the steamed buns and the pile of vegetables on the table with disdain.

Xu Fan hesitated before speaking, "I know I didn't do a good job, but please try it, don't go hungry."

"Okay!" Fu Chun took a steamed bun, took a small bite, and the next second, a rich aroma of steamed bun filled her mouth.

"Mmm! It smells so good!"

She quickly grabbed a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of potato, and put it in her mouth. It was soft, tender, and had a rich, savory sauce flavor.

"This is delicious too!" I never expected such an unassuming dish to taste so good!

She scooped another spoonful onto the steamed bun and ate it together—double the deliciousness!

"Eat slowly...be careful not to choke." Xu Fan poured a glass of water and placed it next to Fu Chun.

Xu Fan frowned, looking at Fu Chun who was wolfing down his food with heartache. He must be starving. He knew that his cooking was terrible, but the child said it was delicious.

Fu Chun genuinely thought it was delicious. She had always eaten very refined food since she was a child and had never tasted such pure grains before. In fact, these plain white steamed buns without any added flour were the most fragrant and delicious.
