Chapter 75 Lottery
Upon hearing Xu An's words, the two women's expressions stiffened. After exchanging a glance, they both saw a hint of speechlessness in each other's eyes.
For some reason, they all felt that their subtle rivalry just now was a bit silly.
Even the live stream couldn't keep up.
[Okay, okay, two dream goddesses want to wash the dishes with you, and your reaction is to slack off?]
[This guy has such strong willpower, he could go to the Peach Garden.]
[Tears welling up, he still loves to slack off and do nothing!]
Wow, this level of "lying flat" has reached its pinnacle.
In the end, Xu An's plan to slack off failed.
After the three of them finished washing the dishes, Xu An yawned, feeling a bit sleepy. He then said goodbye to the two women and returned to his room to prepare for a midday nap.
After returning to his room, Xu An lay on the bed, but did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he opened his system panel.
Get ready to see how far you are from being positive and motivated.
[Host: Xu An]
[Reverse curl value: 25459]
Skills: Driving (Beginner), Programming (Advanced), Guitar (Beginner), Tractor Repair (Beginner), Lock Picking (Advanced), Makeup (Beginner)
[Backpack: "Those Flowers", playing cards, tissues, bottled water, a collection of corny jokes...]
Looking at his own rollback value, Xu An showed a hint of interest.
This is the first time I've been this rich...
I'm clearly not far from the path of positivity and progress, but inexplicably...
The urge to draw cards was subtly creeping in.
Upon seeing the advanced lockpicking skill in the skill bar, Xu An finally calmed down a bit.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu An opened the store and instead of buying the mystery gift box, bought five blind boxes.
Reverse roll value -5000.
Xu An then tapped the button five times without hesitation.
White, white, blue, white... red? ?
Seeing the blind box's dazzling light, Xu An immediately perked up.
Meanwhile, lottery notifications kept popping up on the system panel.
[Steamed bun x1]
[Tissue x1]
【Cheating Techniques (Beginner)】
[1 bottles of mineral water]
【The Lone Warrior】
Looking at the skills and songs that were revealed, Xu An was subconsciously a little stunned.
Putting aside the questionable cheating skills, the song Xu An drew also made him a little flustered.
However, Xu An was still quite satisfied with opening the blind box this time.
Although the items that came out were a bit strange, their quality was undeniable.
Finally, things turned around for the better.
Looking at the extra items in his backpack, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Xu An's eyes.
This good mood lasted until Xu An finished his lunch break and came out to see Chen Hong holding the card.
Subconsciously, Xu An turned and left, which amused everyone in the live stream.
[Xu An came out all smiles, but his expression completely changed upon seeing Director Chen.]
[Stop laughing! Why are you laughing now?]
[Xu An: I should have just stayed in my room until the show ended.]
Chen Hong saw Xu An turn around and couldn't hold back any longer, so she quickly called out.
"If you don't come back soon, I'll dock your pay!"
Seeing Xu An suddenly stop in his tracks, Chen Hong's face showed a smug look.
She had already discovered Xu An's greedy nature.
Thinking this, she heard Xu An say indignantly, "Director Chen, this is workplace bullying!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Hong was so angry that she laughed.
She's the head director of a TV program, bullying a mere intern in the workplace?!
Everyone else's expressions were also very tense.
Fortunately, everyone, including Chen Hong, had some understanding of Xu An's abstract thought process.
So after giving Xu An a disgruntled glare, Chen Hong swiftly pulled out her task card and quietly announced the task for this period.
"Today, the task assigned to you by the owners and guests of Peach Blossom House is to look after the children."
Upon hearing this, everyone present wore the expression of someone using a cell phone like an elderly person on the subway.
What are you talking about?
After hearing Chen Hong's explanation, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that Taoyuan Village is currently busy with the harvest, and unfortunately, the primary and junior high school students in the village are on summer vacation. Therefore, many villagers are eager for someone to help take care of their children.
After learning about the situation in the village, the production team volunteered to take on the task of looking after the villagers' children.
The ranking for this task was determined by the number of positive reviews each participant received for their childcare.
Upon hearing Chen Hong's words, everyone present was somewhat taken aback.
Isn't their "Peach Blossom Spring" a lifestyle variety show?
How did it become a custody center?
Despite this, no one refused.
Soon, the children, who had been neglected due to the busy farming season, arrived at Peach Blossom Cottage.
There aren't many children in Taoyuan Village who need foster care, but there are still a dozen or so scattered around.
It mainly targets children of primary and junior high school age.
The children weren't shy at all; as soon as they entered the cabin, they started talking to Xu An very naturally.
Since Xu An had already stayed in the cabin for a week, some elementary school students had already had contact with him beforehand.
At that moment, they all instinctively greeted each other.
"Good afternoon, Brother Xu."
When everyone saw Xu An and the children looking at each other familiarly, their eyes lit up with smiles.
"Looks like you've already made a name for yourself in Peach Blossom Village, Xiao Xu!" Zhang Lin joked.
Xu An greeted the children he knew with a smile.
"Little Cow, let's log in together later. Your brother Xu will definitely take you to the top today!"
"...Brother Xu, you said the same thing last time, and you ended up leading me to five consecutive losses."
The boy called Little Cow rolled his eyes and said defiantly.
Upon hearing this, Xu An touched his nose, a rare hint of embarrassment on his face, and quickly and discreetly shifted his focus.
"Xiaohua, you're on holiday so early?"
"Want your older brother to tutor you?"
Upon hearing Xu An's words, the girl Xu An called Xiao Hua, who had been smiling, suddenly looked miserable.
"No way, Brother Xu is a bad guy!"
Upon hearing this, Xu An smiled, his voice carrying a hint of threat:
"I'll tell your mom later and ask her to buy you a few more summer homework books."
Upon hearing this, Xiaohua showed a hint of disappointment.
"Mom won't buy it for me, she never comes back to see me."
"I don't like my mom."
Upon hearing this, the smiling faces of everyone in the cabin, including Xu An, froze slightly.
Jiang Zhaoyue turned to look at Xu An, her voice carrying a hint of inquiry:
"Is Xiaohua from a single-parent family...?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An was taken aback, then, after realizing what he meant, said with a wry smile:
"What are you thinking about, Zhaoyue?"
"Xiaohua is a left-behind child; both her parents work away from home."
"Actually, most of the children in Taoyuan Village are like this."
Upon hearing Xu An's explanation, and looking at the children in the courtyard of the cottage, everyone in the cottage had very tender eyes.
Especially the girls, whose eyes shone with a kind of loving light.
However, what made Xu An slightly uncomfortable was that
He felt that Shen Wanwan looked at him with the same gaze.
He shook his head, trying to shake off the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.
Xu An pointed to the children in the yard and laughed:
"Speaking of which, many of the children in Taoyuan Village are your fans."
"Xiaohua even asked me for your autograph before, Zhaoyue."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue's face immediately lit up. She put her hands on her hips and spoke with a hint of pride.
"That Xiaohua has quite a good eye."
"I'll sign it for her in a bit."
Upon hearing this, Xu An blinked and whispered:
"No need, she doesn't want it anymore."
"Why???" Jiang Zhaoyue asked, puzzled.
"You didn't say anything bad about me to her, did you?"
"How could I? How could I tell her you have a bad temper, are a picky eater, and like to slack off?"
"Hahaha?"
Xu An gave an awkward but polite smile.
