Chapter 662: 662. Live Theft_1
Everyone has had tea eggs before, there’s really nothing to brag about.
Even if they were indeed starving for the whole day, The wedding challenge states they could only have one bite, and one bite it had to be.
So, the mont a groomsman bit down, he thought he had it in the bag.
But…
But, well…
As he chewed slowly, his expression went blank for a mont, until Zhu Xin whispered next to him, “Does it sll good? Have another bite.”
Subconsciously, he bit down again.
That’s it!
The noise around imdiately grew louder, and the groomsman beside him looked at him with despair, “How could you… How could you…”
Then he quickly squatted down, amid the boisterous laughter of the crowd, and stuffed in another red envelope!
It’s my turn, right?” another spirited groomsman prepared to redeem himself, but Zhu Xin stopped him:
“No rush, no rush, let’s wait for this guy here—since the red envelope is already in, how about another bite?”
The guy was about to open his mouth when he suddenly ca to his senses, “Does it an that if I don’t give up, we have to keep stuffing red envelopes?”
“HAHAHAHA!” Everyone burst out laughing, and in the end, it was the relatives who cheerfully said, “Forget it, let’s move on to the next one. Let’s not miss the auspicious ti…”
So, when the first groomsman stepped down, bewildered with half an egg in his hand, his friend beside him scolded him for his lack of willpower:
“Co on, you! No matter how hungry, you can’t have such no self-control! Just one bite, one bite only! How could you not hold out?”
The groomsman felt guilty indeed, he opened his mouth wanting to say sothing, like how fragrant and delicious the tea egg was, or how he just thought of eating…
But before he could properly phrase it, that devilish voice next to him piped up again: “Co on, don’t be shy, have so more!”
Roar—
Without looking, he knew; this groomsman who had just scorned him for his weakness had also t his downfall!
For so reason, he was quite pleased! Now he squatted down cheerfully to put in a red envelope, all the while glancing at the equally bewildered groomsman holding the egg, “Look at you! No matter how hungry, you can’t have such no self-control…”
Until the noisy group took the bride away, Auntie dabbed her slightly reddened eyes, tidied up the room briefly, planning to head to the hotel later, and only then did she check on the pot in the kitchen where only a layer of brine remained after everyone scooped so out.
She paused for a mont, and couldn’t help but touch her stomach—she really didn’t feel like eating that morning because she was sending off her daughter, but now, slling the lingering fragrance, she felt hungry too.
…
anwhile, the groom sitting in the front passenger seat couldn’t resist touching his suit pocket.
After glancing at the rearview mirror, he touched it again.
Seeing this, Zhu Lan couldn’t help but giggle and tease him, “Oh, stop touching it. If you want to eat, just eat, haha…”
Xu Wen was quite embarrassed but still said with dignity, “It’s not appropriate, we’re getting married!”
Zhu Lan thought he was still putting on airs: “Hey, we’re taking a long detour, half an hour’s ride at least! We still have the ceremony and toasts to give at the hotel… If you don’t eat now, it will be past one or two in the afternoon before you get to eat. Hurry up, eat now!”
Only then did Xu Wen reach into his suit pocket to pull out a plastic bag containing two unpeeled tea eggs.
The mont he opened the bag, even the driver next to him couldn’t help but swallow.
While he was being reserved over here, the groomsn had already begun eating—what’s different is that each of them also had another half-eaten egg, implying that they all but failed the last simple challenge.
Now, in the car, while they were munching away and gulping down water, they also pondered:
“You think, since Xu Wen’s wife’s family makes such good tea eggs, can she do it too? After Xu Wen gets back, could he bring us a bag full?”
“I think it’s doable!” soone imdiately responded by his side, “We’ve also put in a lot of effort, not to ntion, a few more tea eggs wouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Hey, you guys think, if the tea eggs are this good, could their family’s cooking be even better? Could Xu Wen’s wife also be this amazing?”
“Pah, this kid, he’s never ntioned such delicious tea eggs before, he’s been hiding them too well, not cool at all! I need to butter him up later, so he can introduce
to a relative of his wife’s family!”
“Great idea, great idea!”
…
The bustle of the city was unknown to Lao Song’s family, and as Song Tan rembered the small dried fish in the dog’s bowl from the day before, she couldn’t bear it. So early in the morning, she took a stroll in the warehouse and ca back to assign Qiaoqiao a task:
“I checked, and the package of dried fish in the very back directly lost half of its contents, this is getting too much!”
She put on a severe expression, “We absolutely cannot tolerate such theft—in your mission today is to start a live stream and keep a close eye on the dried fish, letting the thief face condemnation from the entire internet!”
Qiaoqiao instantly widened his eyes, “Does it have to be this… harsh?”
He lowered his eyes, clearly knowing who the thief was, and his gaze involuntarily drifted upwards. Song Tan pretended not to see it but patted his shoulder solemnly and said,
“Think about it, hasn’t Teacher Xin Jun taught you ‘do not commit a wrong however small it may be’? So now, as the head of the household, you also need to take on teaching responsibilities!”
With her cajoling and coaxing, Qiaoqiao gradually made up his mind, his fists clenched at this mont:
“Sister, rest assured! I will educate Datian properly!”
Song Tan: …this foolish child, how is she supposed to feign ignorance now!
She could only clear her throat, “Well… since that’s the case, you should follow Datian today. We need to not only catch the criminal with the stolen goods but also find out the motive behind the cri…”
A motive for the cri?
This word sounded so impressive! Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened, feeling suddenly like a detective duck from the cartoons!
He tried to put on a profound expression and said with resolve, “Alright!”
Then, without hesitation, he dashed upstairs, set up the phone properly to face Datian’s nest, and only after that did he close the door and go downstairs to wait.
Consequently, the live stream viewers discovered that today’s stream started early in the morning again!
[Early birds catch the worms! Wait and see what I’ll find!]
[I’m in the middle of using the toilet, and here cos the live stream, so sudden!]
[Hahaha, I haven’t slept yet, and what do I see, perfect for putting
to sleep.]
[Though now it’s already six o’clock.]
[Morning live stream? Is there sothing to harvest in the fields? Will it be for sale?]
[Post the link, post the link!]
[Please sell sothing! My child is craving sothing and crying.]
anwhile, Song Tan thought it over and called Zhang Yanping:
“How do I switch to mobile live streaming?”
If Qiaoqiao’s phone was fixed in the room, they couldn’t follow Datian on the run! They needed another phone downstairs.
Sleepy and no longer maintaining a healthy routine, Zhang Yanping mumbled, “…Huh?”
Half-awake, he instinctively said, “Just log into his account with your phone too, and when you need to switch devices, just cut over.”
Song Tan studied it for a bit, “Got it!”
