Me at two years old, a queen!

Chapter 196 You'd better keep your opinions to yourself!

Even the usually composed Xu Tinglan couldn't help but quicken her pace as she walked over. She saw that the children's faces were covered in soot, and their originally applied stage makeup now made them look like beggars!

I couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness! Are you guys playing inside a fire?"

Wang Jinbao, standing behind them, was amused to see that even the usually clean Ji Jianshu had two smears of ash on his face. He slapped his thigh and said:

"Hahaha~, oh my god! You guys aren't planning to perform Calabash Brothers anymore? Instead, you've switched to Tunnel Warfare?"

"Let me tell you guys, kids who play with fire wet the bed! You all better watch out tonight! This show's filming, this is going to be a real embarrassing moment for you!"

Zhuangzhuang: "Wetting the bed? I don't want to wet the bed!"

Duo Duo: "I can't either. I'm a big girl now, I can go to the bathroom by myself~"

An'an: "What is a kang? Why do we pee on it? Does it like to drink our pee?"

Zhuangzhuang: "Really? Why does the kang (heated brick bed) like to drink urine?"

Shen Yu and Ji Jianshu realized they had stolen food and their faces were all dirty. One side of their face was almost buried in the ground, while the other side was being secretly wiped with a handkerchief and sleeve. They no longer had time to explain the science to their silly friends, which led to their increasingly absurd behavior.

Duo Duo wiped her dirty little hands on her coat, shaking her head as she said, "I don't know! None of us have ever drunk it!"

An'an: "Does urine taste good? What does urine taste like?"

The little girl asked curiously, realizing she had never drunk urine before. She bent down and peered at her skirt, seemingly wanting to urinate and taste it.

Seeing this, Lu Junxing clenched his fist so tightly it cracked. The little girl noticed this and, as if suddenly understanding something, looked up and asked with a grin:

"Dad? You're so old, you must have drunk urine before, right? What does urine taste like? Is it good?"

Zhuangzhuang then approached Wang Jinbao, tugged at his pants, and climbed onto him, saying, "Dad? You're older than An'an's dad, so you must have drunk more pee than An'an's dad, right?"

"Does urine taste good? What does it smell like? Why didn't you let me drink it before?"

The moment Lu Junxing picked up An'an, Wang Jinbao, who had been saying he should be a loving father and not hit his child in front of the camera, immediately picked up Zhuangzhuang and moved to the other side.

"Alright! I don't know what urine tastes like, but I can show you what stir-fried bamboo shoots taste like!"

Seeing this, Xu Tinglan hurriedly covered Duoduo's mouth a second before she could speak: "Good girl~, baby~, Mommy doesn't want to ruin her loving mother persona right now, and doesn't want to hear anything about whether you need to pee or not!"

Xu Tinglan pulled Duo Duo aside to give her a serious talking-to, leaving Shen Shaocheng and the two children looking at each other awkwardly. Neither of them were talkative, and they were both somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Shaocheng was also taken aback by Shen Yu's face covered in graffiti. After all, his son usually acted like a little adult, and it was rare to see him looking so embarrassed. However, wanting to save face for him, he didn't laugh at them.

He turned and patted Lu Junxing on the shoulder, who had just returned after disciplining his child: "Alright! Mr. Lu, the production crew and the scenic area are waiting for our performance. We can talk about it when we get back!"

They then anxiously walked towards the direction where the children were still yelling and wailing, trying to persuade Wang Jinbao and his son, who hadn't stopped yet, to go back. Only then did the group take the children and head back.

Xu Tinglan, who was trying to salvage her child's makeup, saw the potato bits smeared on her child's face under the light. She rubbed her dizzy head, feeling frustrated. Determined to raise her daughter into a little lady, she took several deep breaths in frustration.

Then he pulled Duoduo aside and wiped the dust off her face: "You have to wash your face now, the potato bits on their faces are hard to wash off once they dry!"

Seeing this, Lu Junxing pinched the troublemaker's face in annoyance before finding the cloth and saying, "You sneak a bite and don't even bother to wipe your mouth clean? I'm going to tear off a piece of this cloth for you to wash your faces. Do you have a problem with that?"

An An was about to say she had no objections when the man poked her on the forehead. Lu Junxing coldly said, "Even if you have objections, you'd better keep them to yourself!"

"Hmph~, it was only because the potato was tempting that I ate it~"

Lu Junxing tore off a small piece of cloth, then divided it into several smaller pieces, and patted the head of the defiant little girl: "You still think you're right?"

"Go! Take these pieces of cloth to Shen Yu and Duo Duo, so they can use them to wash their faces!"

Hearing that her face could be saved, An'an happily took the cloth from Lu Junxing's hand and ran off happily. But after only a few steps, she suddenly remembered Lu Junxing patting her head earlier.

She turned around and, thinking she was being very fierce, stomped on the man's foot before running away quickly: "Hmph~, who told you to poke at someone's smart brain?"

Looking at the dark shoe prints on his sneakers and watching the little girl run away, Lu Junxing gritted his teeth, feeling his hands starting to itch again.

Finally, seeing that the tourists in the ancient city scenic area were slowly leaving, Su Shao approached Jiang Yun and said that he wanted to go on stage earlier: "It's not good for our program team to delay the work of the scenic area for too long. Yangyang and I are ready, so let's go on stage first!"

"Anyway, it's just a small scenic area stage, so there's no need for any stage effects or anything. Just help me get a microphone from the scenic area!"

Jiang Yun, being a shrewd person, smiled meaningfully, waved his hand dismissively, found a staff member to help him make arrangements, and then hugged the soft, cuddly Yangyang.

"Yangyang~, sing well~, I'll film it for you later, and you can take it home to show your mom and grandma!"

"Thank you, Duo Duo's dad!"

Just as Wang Jinbao had lined up the children like chicks, Su Shao, holding a guitar, was seen performing a father-son singing and playing music with Yangyang in the open space in front of them.

The dark sky hung low.

"Followed by bright stars"

"The Insects Fly"

"The Insects Fly"

Who are you thinking of?

"The stars in the sky are weeping."

"The roses on the ground have withered."

"Cold wind blows"

"Cold wind blows"

"As long as you're with me"

(Song "The Flying Insects")

As night fell, the remaining crowd consisted mostly of young people, many of whom had seen Su Shao on the big screen before. The crowd surged with excitement, some shouting Su Shao's name, others holding up their phone flashlights and singing along!

Wow, Yangyang is awesome!

Seeing this, An'an turned around and jumped into Lu Junxing's arms, who was sitting on a low stool. She climbed onto his lap and, once settled, reached for Lu Junxing's phone.

"Huh? Where's Dad's phone?"

"Listen quietly and behave! Don't cause any trouble!"

Lu Junxing straightened her coat and wrapped the remaining rag around her short legs before holding her and gesturing for her to watch Yangyang's performance: "The cell phone program was put away at the beginning!"

"Hmph~, didn't you secretly hide your phone? Zhuangzhuang's dad brought two phones, and he even let us secretly watch cartoons~"

Lu Junxing looked at Wang Jinbao with some surprise. He guessed that Wang Jinbao had secretly let the child watch cartoons while he was driving. But Wang Jinbao was really capable of hiding a cell phone.

"If you know he hid it secretly, then don't tell everyone!"

An'an, understanding the situation, covered her mouth, glanced at the camera, and whispered in Lu Junxing's ear, thinking she was being very quiet:

"Daddy~, let's sneak them next time too! We'll bring two, one for you and one for me, and we'll play with them secretly, okay?"

Lu Junxing glanced at the recording equipment the troublesome girl was carrying, said nothing, just patted her on the back and put her down: "Go! Perform well, and be your Calabash Brother calling Grandpa!"

Tourists saw a hunched-over man carrying a crooked, broken stick, followed by a string of dolls, the last of whom, a chubby doll, was holding an old hen with a bow tied around its neck.

Wang Jinbao waved his hand and plopped down on the ground: "Kids, it's your turn now!"

Shen Yu ran forward with a stern face, expressionlessly patted his chest, and recited his lines without emotion: "Grandpa~, Grandpa~"

Shen Shaocheng, who was taking pictures of his son below, was embarrassed for a couple of seconds by this perfunctory, formulaic performance. He hesitated for a moment but decided to take the picture anyway. Otherwise, given Shen Yu's old-fashioned nature, he didn't know if Shen Yu would ever have the chance to perform on stage again.

Next, Ji Jianshu quickly grabbed Zhuangzhuang, who was trying to take a step forward, and walked to the middle herself. She put her little hand next to her ear, and, afraid that the audience wouldn't understand, explained to herself:

"I performed the act of having super hearing, which allows him to hear sounds from very, very far away, although this is very unscientific!"

The crowd, who had initially shown little interest in Wang Jinbao and his group's performance, were amused by the earnest, childlike voice: "Whose little cutie is this? He's so funny!"

Audience member A: "I didn't expect the children's performance to be so effective! I wish I had gone to my nephew's kindergarten talent show more often!"

Audience Member B: "Haha, that's interesting! I didn't expect kids these days to not believe in fables and fairy tales anymore!"

Audience member C: "Seriously, this kid's expression is saying: 'Even though this is unscientific, I have to perform it,' hahaha~"

Zhuangzhuang couldn't wait for Ji Jianshu to return and rushed to the middle of the performance, accidentally tripping Ji Jianshu in the process: "It's my turn! It's my turn!"

Then a chubby guy added his own drama, circling the virtual stage and showing off his arms and legs, then covering his butt:

"Oh dear~, I'm the invincible Calabash Brother, I'm the strongest~, except my butt is a bit big and I get spanked easily! But adults can't just hit kids, we kids will call the police!"

Wang Jinbao, who had been lying on the ground waiting for the children to call him "baby," was feeling much better at the time. He immediately got up and dragged Zhuangzhuang behind him like a chick.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense! Your time's up. If you want to perform again, you'll have to pay more!"

Duo Duo and An An, the two friends, pushed the still-dazed Yang Yang to the center of the stage. Duo Duo even held Yang Yang's little hand and said, "You have to call him Grandpa~"

Yangyang timidly greeted, "Hello, Grandpa!"

The audience below, seeing the well-behaved boy calling them "Grandpa," all responded in kind, "Oh~, my dear grandson~"

Shen Shaocheng finally understood what Wang Jinbao was up to with this show, and his lips twitched as he said, "This Zhuangzhuang's dad really knows how to liven things up! Suddenly we all seem to be a generation younger!"

Xu Tinglan laughed and said, "We wouldn't dare! We should all call you 'brother'! After all, we're based on age, not on the children!"

Shen Shaocheng: "Haha~, Duoduo's mom is teasing me too, isn't she? Back in the day, I was young once too!"

Seeing Lu Junxing stand up, the others knew it was An'an's turn to perform, so they watched quietly. Then, Duoduo, holding up her little skirt, sweetly called out to everyone:

"Hello, brothers and sisters~, I'm Princess Duoduo~"

Zhuangzhuang: "Duoduo, you haven't called me Grandpa yet~"

"Oh~, now she has to call him grandpa~"

Duoduo lifted the hems of her skirt and gave a princess-like bow: "I'm the Calabash Brother who can spray water~, I'm going to find Grandpa~"

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt, turned around, and ran towards Wang Jinbao, who was lying on the ground: "Grandpa~, Grandpa~, I'm coming~"

Finally, An'an stood up, and everyone noticed that she was wearing a tutu and squatting on the old hen. An'an rolled twice on the ground, then looked up, bewildered, and said:

"Where's my grandpa? A monster wants to eat my grandpa! I want to eat him too! I'm going to find my grandpa!"

Audience A: "This chubby baby is so cute! Did he forget his lines? Wasn't he supposed to be saving grandpa? We were thinking of eating grandpa together?"

Audience B: "Can you see that old hen? Can you feel its despair? Hahaha~, that cute little baby stood up and flew away!"

Audience C: "This is so interesting! Where did you find such a cute and fun doll? I want to have one too!"

Shen Yu said anxiously, "An'an, you're wrong! It's this way, you rolled the wrong way, you need to roll this way!"

Ji Jianshu couldn't help but step forward and manually turn An'an around: "This way!"

An'an rolled towards Wang Jinbao again, shouting, "I can become invisible, you can't see me, you can't see me~, monster! My grandpa can only be eaten by me! You are not allowed to eat my grandpa!"

Wang Jinbao, who was lying down, had just been weighed down by many heavy loads. Looking at An'an's physique, he felt he couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing An'an rolling over, he immediately stopped her and said:

"Alright, it's time for the seventh child to call me grandpa!"

And so, in the temporary performance area in the middle, a performance of children catching a hen immediately began, especially the most spirited performer, Duoduo: "Don't run away~, Old Chicken Seven, your little brother hasn't saved Grandpa yet~"

Zhuangzhuang and An'an aimed directly at the old hen's rear end, ready to pin her down. However, the old hen, already ravaged by them, was desperately trying to escape their clutches.
