Back to Three Years Old: Crushing Scumbags on a Parenting Reality Show 201 p1

Chapter 201 p1

Once the awkwardness was addressed, things became much easier.

A fragrant handkerchief wiped away the tears, and the earlier unpleasantness was almost forgotten.

Wei Chengli, having been lectured by his wife, watched the two little ones walk away hand in hand, and grumbled, “It’s all thanks to me, otherwise, they would have been sulking until tomorrow!”

Before he could finish, a cane struck his leg.

“Dad! Why are you hitting me again!” Wei Chengli hopped away, not very gracefully, and protested.

“What does that Zhao Tong do?” He Rongzheng asked, the name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.

Wei Chengli shook his head blankly. “I don’t know. What does she do? A child actress?”

“Hmph, serves you right for not knowing anything.” He Rongzheng said, tapping Wei Chengli’s leg with his cane again, he then wheeled himself towards the two little ones, who were happily walking together.

Wei Chengli: “…”

To save time and costs, the filming was divided into two teams. Cheng Tingyan’s child actor group was Team B, currently filming scenes from the protagonists’ childhoods. Shi Dingshan, also there, was delighted to see Yan Yan and the little chubby Maomao.

“Little Maomao~~~” Shi Dingshan said with a smile, tugging at her bunny ears. “Here to watch Yan Yan film? The next scene involves wire work, come and watch our little Yan Yan fly~~”

Before Cheng Tingyan could finish telling Wei Maomao about the Zhao family, she was called away for the wire work. The others found a place to sit and wait.

“Just to be clear, it was Maomao who wanted to surprise Yan Yan; that’s why I didn’t mention our visit in the group chat, don’t kick me out later.” Wei Chengli said, he had declared he wouldn’t talk to Shi Dingshan and Qin Sichao after they added him to their new group chat three days late, but he still explained.

“What, acting like a child, do I look like that kind of person?” Shi Dingshan said, smacking Wei Chengli playfully.

“By the way, is that Zhao Tong getting along well with Yan Yan on set? Is she a regular child actress? I don’t recognize her.” Wei Chengli asked, concerned.

“They’re okay, Yan Yan is also… Sigh, Zhao Tong’s situation is a bit complicated, I’ll tell you later during lunch.” Shi Dingshan said vaguely, lowering his voice, there were staff members around, and Zhao Tong’s parents were also nearby. Then he said, a bit displeased, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you watch the shows I make? She was on ‘Where’s Baby Going’ Season 2.”

“Oh, Maomao loves watching Season 1, we only watched Season 1 at home.” Wei Chengli said, using his baby as a shield, he turned to He Rongzheng, who was in his wheelchair. “Dad, that Zhao Tong is…”

“I heard you, go play by yourself.” He Rongzheng said, pushing Wei Chengli’s face away, he had heard, and he also remembered.

So it was her…

They were there to watch Yan Yan film, but they were outsiders, they were quite far away, they couldn’t hear the lines, they could only see Yan Yan and a few other children, hoisted up by wires, flying around in their costumes.

“Maomao, want a closer look?” Shi Dingshan asked, seeing the little chubby baby slowly inching forward, he smiled and offered, “I’ll take you to the front?”

“No, no.” Wei Maomao said, startled, she had been so focused on finding Yan Yan in the air that she hadn’t realized she had moved, she quickly retreated.

“Hahaha, is this Maomao’s first time seeing wire work? The little brothers and sisters are flying so well, does Maomao also want to try?” Wei Chengli teased, but the little rascal, still annoyed with him, didn’t respond, just turned her back to him.

Wei Chengli, seeing this, tried another tactic. “Mmm, let me see, who’s flying the best… That little boy in white seems quite good, ah, and that little girl in yellow is also very good, she seems to be the best~~~”

“Yan Yan flies the best!” The little dumpling said, turning around swiftly, her hands on her hips, her face puffed up. “Stinky Dad!”

Wei Chengli chuckled, seeing that the little rascal was about to explode, he didn’t dare to tease her further, he just nodded in agreement.

But…

Wei Chengli squinted, Yan Yan, having learned martial arts, her movements were truly smooth and natural, she was indeed the best.

But after watching Cheng Tingyan fly back and forth a few times, even Wei Maomao sensed something was wrong.

“Uncle Shi, are they refilming?” Wei Maomao asked, approaching Shi Dingshan.

“It seems like…” Shi Dingshan said, standing up and shielding his eyes with his hand. “It seems like they messed up.”

“NG means they didn’t get a good shot, they have to film it again.” Wei Chengli said, trying to be helpful, having offended the little rascal so many times today.

Then… he was ruthlessly pushed away.

Wei Maomao, seeing the child actors gathered in the distance, but unable to see clearly, tugged at Shi Dingshan’s pants. “Uncle, what are they doing?”

“I’ll lift you up.” Shi Dingshan said, rubbing his hands, he put his hands under the little chubby baby’s armpits and lifted… lifted…

Shi Dingshan, panting, looked down at the little one, whom he could only lift to his chest. “Is this high enough? Can you see?”

Wei Maomao silently turned to Wei Chengli, who had been ignored.

Wei Chengli, receiving the silent request, glanced at the struggling Shi Dingshan, then at He Rongzheng in his wheelchair, he straightened his back and proudly extended his hands. “Come, Dad will lift you!”

He Rongzheng, before Wei Chengli could even reach the little chubby baby, swiftly tapped his leg with his cane.

Wei Maomao, now on Wei Chengli’s shoulders, finally saw what was happening in the distance.

A group of children, and one, in a light green costume, being singled out.

That Zhao Tong earlier, she was the one in light green, right?

They said there was only one scene left this morning, then they could leave. But after messing up seven or eight times, it was almost lunchtime…

Wei Maomao saw that the woman leading Cheng Tingyan towards them was the one who had been lecturing Zhao Tong.

“Xiao Wei, let me introduce you, this is Director Fang Keyi, she specializes in fantasy dramas, last year’s hit, ‘Wanjiang Mountains,’ was directed by her.” Shi Dingshan said, pulling Wei Chengli, who had just put down the little one, he then turned to the approaching woman and introduced Wei Chengli.

Fang Keyi had also watched “Where’s Baby Going” Season 3; they quickly started chatting.

While the adults were talking, Cheng Tingyan started introducing the local restaurants to the little chubby bunny. “There are many family restaurants in town, the food is very fresh, they cook the vegetables they grow in their backyard. We tried one near here on the day we arrived; the ribs and bamboo shoots were delicious. I heard there’s another good one further away…”

Just then, Fang Keyi suddenly spoke. “Let’s go to the one further away.”

Cheng Tingyan: “???”

“Good girl, Yan Yan, let me relax somewhere further away, that restaurant’s clay pot chicken is delicious.” Fang Keyi said, rubbing Cheng Tingyan’s head, she then stood up straight, sighed deeply at Shi Dingshan, and whispered, “I can’t take it anymore, if this continues, I’ll explode, is Lao Qian still coming? Even if she comes, it won’t be of any use, right? She can’t just magically cure her on the spot, right? Where’s my milk beer…”

Fang Keyi’s face was filled with stress and anxiety; Cheng Tingyan silently swallowed her other restaurant recommendations.

She understood, the key wasn’t the delicious clay pot chicken, but “somewhere further away,” to release her stress away from prying eyes…

But before the old stress could be released, a new one arrived.

A small figure in light green, slowly approaching.

“Director Fang…” Zhao Tong called out weakly, her eyes still red.

Fang Keyi paused, then walked towards her. “Go and have your lunch, have a good rest…”

“For you…” Zhao Tong said, her head lowered, she stuffed two cans into Fang Keyi’s hand and ran off.

Fang Keyi turned around helplessly and showed Shi Dingshan the milk beer in her hand. “Look, what am I supposed to do with her?”
