Chapter 37 The Children's Tasks
"Tell us quickly!" the children urged impatiently.
This was the first time they had done a task on their own since joining the show, and they were both nervous and excited.
Based on his previous missions, Fu Chun concluded that this mission would definitely also have a reward.
She asked Lao Hu first, "What's the reward for this mission?"
"Well... let's keep this a secret for now, we'll talk about it after you finish your mission!"
Old Hu pointed to the crowd singing and dancing: "What are they doing?"
Lingling said, "They are singing and dancing."
Chaochao: "And her singing was awful, and her dancing was terrible too!"
Old Hu shook his head: "Children, you can't say that. You know, there are almost no young people in this village. There are more grandparents like these. Their way of relieving loneliness is to come here to sing and dance in the square."
"Our task today is for each child to choose a square dance or a song to learn, and then perform it in front of these grandparents. The grandparents will then score your performance."
"This mission is very important, so please take it seriously, my darlings."
Before anyone knew it, the grandparents who had been singing and dancing had stopped and were looking at them with loving expressions.
Fu Chun pursed his lips.
She disliked the task; in fact, she found it somewhat repulsive.
That dance was awful, and the song was awful too. She didn't want to learn it, and she especially didn't want to perform it in front of everyone, in front of all the audience members.
Fu Qingci understood everything when he saw her expression.
This girl has an air about her. She's studied ballet, classical dance, and pop music since she was little... but she's never learned square dancing or country folk songs.
She definitely doesn't want to study or perform.
She was sullen and unhappy because she and Xu Fan came in last place in the tacit understanding challenge they participated in that morning, and she ignored Xu Fan.
Her performance this time could affect both of them. What will she do?
Will she put aside her pride and push her limits? Fu Qingci is really looking forward to her performance.
After Lao Hu finished speaking, the grandparents waved kindly to the children, and the children ran over one after another. Chaochao and Shengsheng, the two boys, chose to learn square dancing, while Jiajia and Lingling, the two girls, chose to sing folk songs.
Only Fu Chun stood there, her lips pressed tightly together, motionless.
Old Hu thought she hadn't understood the rules of the game, so he went over to Fu Chun and said, "Little Fu Chun, would you like to choose singing or dancing?"
Fu Chun clenched her hands tightly and remained silent for a moment: "...I don't want to."
Old Hu was taken aback by her words and didn't know how to respond, so he could only explain Fu Chun's situation to the production team.
The crew members went over to persuade her, but she remained unmoved. More and more people tried to persuade her, and Fu Chun impatiently said, "It's so noisy!" and then ran out of the yard.
The production crew was startled by her sudden outburst of emotion and quickly chased after her. Fu Chun stopped running at the gate of the courtyard and just stood there silently.
The production team didn't dare to persuade her easily anymore. They sent someone to stand outside the door to monitor Fu Chun's emotions and continued filming the other children.
In the courtyard, Chaochao and Shengsheng were trying hard to tame their uncoordinated limbs and learn square dancing, while Lingling and Jiajia were trying hard to memorize the lyrics and melody.
Only Fu Chun stood alone outside the door.
She knew the missions were important; these missions had either been about housing or food.
But she really didn't want to learn such stupid songs and dances. She was the young lady of the Fu family and was going to become the head of the Fu family in the future. How could she dance such ugly dances, sing such stupid songs, and do such meaningless stupid things!
She remembered that they had come in last place that morning, and Xu Fan had chosen ingredients that nobody wanted, yet they still cooked very well, didn't they? Xu Fan would definitely solve any difficulties, so it should be fine if she didn't do this task, right?
For some reason, thinking of Xu Fan made her feel inexplicably at ease.
She kept telling herself, "It's okay, Xu Fan will handle it..."
And so, she stood outside by herself for half a day.
Fu Qingci looked for a long time but couldn't find Fu Chun anywhere. She wasn't learning to sing or dance like the other children either. It seemed the proud little princess still couldn't let go of her pride…
The learning inside was nearing its end. Lingling and Jiajia had learned a short folk song, about a minute long.
Chaochao and Shengsheng also learned a short dance, even though their movements were crooked and very irregular.
That's about it. Old Hu gathered the villagers into a circle, with the children standing in the middle of the circle.
"Fellow villagers, wouldn't you like to see our adorable dolls perform?"
"Yes!" the villagers responded enthusiastically.
Fu Chun heard the lively sounds inside and turned her head. They were gathered in a circle, seemingly already performing and scoring. It looked like a lot of fun and excitement, and she was tempted to go over and watch, but she hadn't learned anything from it.
What's so interesting about this old-fashioned and boring performance?
She told herself this in her heart, then turned around sharply.
But I can't help but glance back.
The performance has already started inside, and Chaochao is the first to perform.
As soon as the music started, he began waving his hands even before the accompaniment began. Realizing what was happening, he quickly stopped, only starting to move again when the lyrics began.
This amused the villagers. Chaochao, being shameless, jumped even more energetically, regardless of the consequences, and even ran around everyone in a circle.
The second one to go up was Shengsheng. He danced on the beat, but his body was very stiff, like a little robot.
The third one was Jiajia. She was very generous, with a clear and melodious child's voice and articulation. She even bowed slightly at the end, and the villagers applauded and cheered.
Finally, there's Lingling. She's rather introverted, sings softly, and always keeps her head down. However, she has a lovely voice and sings quite well.
Fu Chun was the only one who didn't perform. The production crew went over to ask her if she still wanted to learn, saying that if she learned now, her performance later would be the same.
Fu Chun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
The production team told her, "So you're basically accepting last place for this mission."
"Um."
The scoring officially began, with five village representatives discussing and determining the children's scores together.
Jiajia came in first place with a high score of 95.
Lingling came in second place with 80 points.
Third place went to Chaochao, with 70 points.
Fourth place: Sheng Sheng, 60 points.
Fifth place: Fu Chun... 0 points.
When the program team announced the scores, the villagers had already gone home one after another, and Fu Chun also went into the yard.
Once inside, the children's puzzled gazes were fixed on Fu Chun, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and tried to ignore the stares.
At this moment, Old Hu spoke up: "The rankings for the children are now out. Aren't you all eager to know what rewards are for these rankings? I'll tell you now!"
"My darlings, is our dad working hard?"
"Hard!"
Fu Chun suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The dads spent the whole afternoon making snacks and walked a long way to the market; they must be very tired. The dads of the first and second place winners can ride back on one of our fellow villagers' electric bikes! The dad of the third place winner can ride back on a fellow villager's tractor that's collecting grain. The dad of the fourth place winner can ride back by himself!"
Actually, the fourth and fifth place winners could have ridden their bicycles back, but Fu Chun didn't participate, which was unfair to the other children.
Fu Chun was stunned after hearing what he said. She stood there dumbfounded, her eyes filled with panic.
