Bai Xue was completely the opposite. She had prepared several bags of clothes and essentials. She had practically packed all the clothes in her wardrobe.
Her husband, Qi Ming, kept saying the show would only last six days, and there was no need to carry so much.
But Bai Xue was resolute. She didn’t plan to wear every single set of clothes. She just wanted to bring as many as possible since they didn’t know what kind of activities they would be participating in. She would choose what to wear according to the occasion when the time came.
In the Qi family, Bai Xue’s words were final, and no one could change her mind.
Upon learning that their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were going to participate in the program, the in-laws had already prepared various vacuum-packed meat products. They even packed spicy and sour noodles, clay pot rice, etc.
Qi Ming rubbed his forehead. “Mom, why are you just like Bai Xue? We’re going on a show. We aren’t moving to another place. Are you two planning to take all this stuff? Can you carry it all?”
“Better safe than sorry, son. If you can’t finish them all, you can always share them with others. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to taste our homemade products,” said Qi Ming’s mom while packing another bag.
“Mom, you’re not trying to promote meals on the show, are you? I don’t want to do it. We’re all guests of the program. I can’t bring myself to do this kind of thing.” Qi Ming shook his head.
“I’m just trying to share my cooking. Such good things shouldn’t go to waste.
It’s not like you’re selling it to anyone. It’s free for everyone to enjoy.”
Qi Min’s father adjusted his tie. “Xiao Ming, just take it. If you don’t want to share, you don’t have to. But if it’s too cold and there’s nothing to eat, you only need water to warm them. It’s very convenient. Maybe people will come over when they smell the aroma.”
“Okay,” Qi Ming said in defeat.
He shuddered. He remembered a previous episode where the Li family had dragged five suitcases of food and snacks with them. Their family had five people, though. There were only three people in their family with five suitcases. Each person was dragging almost two, and he had no idea what the comments would be like.
Qi Yue leaned on her grandmother’s shoulder. “Grandma, we won’t go hungry.”
“Who knows? The Li family doesn’t know how to cook, and they mooch off other people’s food. None of the children in this generation know how to cook. At least these meals will help keep you fed,” said Qi Ming’s mother.
Qi Ming’s ears were numb from hearing it, so he just agreed.
Qi Ming’s father had the driver wash the RV thoroughly to take the family to the village.
The usually ostentatious Bai Xue was silent when she saw the RV.
Driving an RV to Lan Village seemed a bit excessive. The livestream would start the moment they entered the village.
“Dad, isn’t this a bit too conspicuous?” Bai Xue asked.
“Conspicuous? RVs are quite common. Old Dai, Old Deng, Old Wu… they all drive RVs when they go on trips. It’s mainly for convenience,” said Qi Ming’s father.
“Xue’er, just take the RV. It’s much cheaper than a sports car. It’s not very showy. Let the driver take you there,” said Qi Ming’s mother.
“Alright. But just till Lan Village.” Bai Xue nodded.
At ten o’clock on the morning of the tenth, Lan Village’s entrance was
decorated with lights and streamers.
The speaker played the song “Happy New Year.” The staff members were wearing matching red outfits, with red scarves and hats as they waited for the guests to arrive.
The Li family and the Xiao family had agreed to go together. When they arrived at the parking lot, eight of them stood in a row.
The livestream started.
[Happy New Year! ]
[Happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity and safety every year!]
[Wishing you good fortune!]
[And success in studies!] [I missed Xuanxuan so much.]
[Ahh… I’ll get to see my baby Wheatley!]
[This is the final episode. Let’s watch and cherish it!] [You shouldn’t mention such sad things at this time.]
[Who will arrive first? I guess it’s Wheatley’s family]
As the camera turned on, the livestream room already garnered tens and thousands of viewers. The comments covered the entire screen.
The Li family wore sunglasses and appeared in front of the camera in matching outfits. They stood beside the Xiao family.
Fireworks went off.
“Welcome Li family and Xiao family!” The staff members clapped.
[It’s Xuanxuan! He was the first to appear on-screen!]
[Xuanxuan’s family is wearing matching outfits from the Republic of China period. Wanwan looks so beautiful in Cheongsam. Mr. Li and his sons look handsome in suits.]
[The sunglasses have a Republic of China vibe. Are you sure they won’t block your vision?]
[The sunglasses are the finishing touch. Without them, something would feel missing. ]
[It’s the first time the Li family is wearing matching outfits. They all look so good.]
In comparison, there wasn’t much hype about Xiao Yi’s family’s outfits. The comments were mostly about the Li family.
[The whole family is in red. Not bad!]
[Xuanxuan, I love you!]
[The little child’s clothes are almost trailing on the ground.]
Li Zekai’s clothes were a bit loose but pulling them up slightly made them work.
Li Zexin was about to take out a fan to wave.
He sped up and walked to the front. “Happy New Year!” He purposely turned around in front of the camera.
[Look at the smug expression on Xinxin’s face.]
[Hilarious! It’s like he’s never worn matching outfits before.] [Xinxin indeed hasn’t worn them with his family before.]
From the applause, Li Zexin could tell that their outfits were indeed eye-catching. Everyone’s attention was focused on the Li family.
Xiao Yi’s family shouted the pre-rehearsed slogan, “Wishing everyone a Happy
New Year. Hope you all have prosperous and fulfilling lives!”
The staff finally shifted their attention away from the Li family and onto Xiao Yi’s family.
[Everyone wants to leave a lasting impression.]
[Is this a big family reunion ending? I really like it!]
The barrage continued to discuss the Li family excitedly. Not far away, the Wheatley family also appeared wearing matching outfits.
Unlike everyone’s red outfits, the Wheatley family wore gold outfits with sequins on them. Under the sunlight, they shimmered and sparkled.
Everyone welcomed the Wheatley family together, followed by the Feifei family.
The Feifei family wore matching red and white outfits.
Feifei even brought small lanterns for everyone.
Finally, Tutu arrived with his father. Tutu and his father were dressed in white down jackets and walked with their heads held high.
[All the regular guests are here.]
[The Wheatley family looks like they’re wearing gold. It’s so dazzling.] [The color doesn’t make them look old-fashioned at all. It looks great!] [Yes, it looks great!]
[Who is the flying guest? They are still half an hour away, right?]
[Dozens of names have appeared in the comments. It feels like anyone could be it.]
[What if they’re not in the comments?]
[That’s possible.]
Bai Xue’s family arrived at the parking lot twenty minutes earlier than the time agreed upon. They waited in the car for the signal.
The three weren’t nervous at all. They watched the livestream together.
All the regular guests had already arrived and were standing in the cold wind. They were waiting for them to arrive. It showed how much the program crew valued the Bai Xue family.
The three people felt a bit embarrassed. They wanted to get there sooner..
