    In the island forest after the rain, the ground is wet and muddy, with a layer of broken branches and leaves blown by the wind, and raindrops fall from the trees from time to time.

    Xu Jianian's family of three wore raincoats and rain boots rented from the program group, and walked in the woods hand in hand.

    Barrage: "Morning, my wife! Why did you get up so early today?"

    "What? When I woke up, I heard that my wife had come back from the sea?"

    "As long as my wife is fine, I was really worried when the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted last night."

    "Ah, ah, I'm late, can someone kindly tell me what happened in front of me?"

    The audience told the experience of Xu Jianian's family this morning on the barrage one after another.

    They went to bed early last night because of the rain, and woke up before six o'clock this morning.

    At that time, the rain had just stopped, the sky was bright, and there were other people in the house, so Xu Jianian was too embarrassed to sleep in, so he just got up early to catch the sea.

    The clouds have not dissipated, but the sun has already peeked out at the junction of the sea and the sky, and it is expected to be a good weather.

    They first came to the stream with gill nets.

    Due to rainfall and seawater backflow, the water level of the creek has risen, the current is turbulent, and the water at the mouth of the sea is much deeper.

    Lin He chose a place a few meters upstream from where he lowered the net before, fixed the net pole in the river bed, and tied the net poles on both sides to the tree with a rope.

    They didn't go too far after catching the sea. The beach facing the stone house was full of "babies" brought to shore by the waves last night.

    Palm-sized fish, conch, clams, oysters, crabs, shrimp...

    Sui Sui even picked up a big lobster that was entangled in kelp, and excitedly showed it to his fathers. He was generously praised by Xu Jianian and rewarded by Lin He for patting his head.

    Xu Jianian picked up several starfish and planned to bring them back to the fish pond for raising.

    Speaking of the fish pond, the heavy rain last night washed the mud from the edge of the fish pond into the pond, and now the whole fish pond is no different from a quagmire, and it takes some effort to clean it up before raising fish.

    They returned to the stone house with a bucket full of seafood, and Yang Mingye and Lin Haoxuan, who were borrowing the stone house, got up lightly.

    They heard that Zhou Kai was still sleeping, and they had no intention of disturbing them. Xu Jianian proposed to repair the fish pond first, but Lin He said that the soil is too wet now, and the sides of the fish pond are easy to collapse.

    They took the fish and seafood raised in the bucket yesterday to the show crew to exchange supplies, and the show crew said inhumanely that they would deduct their dinner money last night.

    The original words of the director are: "Last night was a special situation, and the program team understands everyone. But if it is a real survival environment, even if it is a typhoon, everyone has to find a way to overcome it, right?"

    Xu Jianian paid the money angrily, and blamed the program crew for being unreliable, and he had to rely on himself.

    After returning to the stone house, he saw a small mushroom in the corner, and his eyes lit up immediately.

    Barrage: "So now my wife and the others are going to pick mushrooms?"

    "Yes, now it's the little wife picking mushrooms." [Note]

    "It's a pity that it hasn't been found yet."

    Most of the forests are surrounded by tropical palm trees, and only a few trees and evergreen broad-leaved trees can be found on the mountain. The leaves dropped by the wind and rain are spread on the ground, and the bottom layer is already soft and rotten.

    Mushrooms emerge from under the fallen leaves.

    "There is a bunch here!" Xu Jianian greeted Lin He in surprise, "Come and see what kind of mushroom this is?"

    This clump of mushrooms is not small in size, with a thick cap, black at the top, and gradually white from the edge to the stipe.

    Lin He observed it for a while and said, "It looks like a straw mushroom."

    When they heard that they were coming to pick mushrooms, the experts who were on standby via video connection confirmed Lin He's speculation and let them pick them with confidence.

    Xu Jianian took a knife and cut off the bunch of mushrooms one by one, and put them into the bamboo basket he brought.

    Then he seemed to have unlocked the "Mushroom Hunting" skill, looking for one in the haystacks and fallen leaves.

    They found several clumps of straw mushrooms, a small clump of Agaricus blazei, and finally a large handful of oyster mushrooms on a dead tree stump.

    Barrage: "Oh my god! The mushroom harvest is great! My wife is amazing!"

    "If you find one, there is no one. I seriously suspect that my wife came to visit the spot in the middle of the night."

    "The aborigine of the island—Xu Jianian, the mushrooms grow according to the position he designated/dog head"

    Xu Jianian carefully picked the last oyster mushroom, and before he knew it, the mushrooms had already filled a bamboo basket.

    "Going back?" Lin He picked up the basket, looked at the clouds that were slowly dissipating, "The sun is about to rise."

    Xu Jianian thought for a while and said, "I still want to go to the bamboo forest, maybe there will be bamboo fungus."

    It was a pity that he couldn't stew old hen soup with bamboo fungus last time.

    Lin He naturally agreed, and took him and Sui Sui to the bamboo forest.

    Xu Jianian used his memory to find the approximate location where the bamboo fungus was found last time, but unfortunately he didn't find it, and was immediately a little frustrated.

    Barrage: "Hahahaha my wife has been thinking about bamboo fungus chicken soup for too long."

    "It's okay, my wife, I'll help you cast a spell—ba la la energy, the bamboo fungus will change!"

    "Wife: I believe your evil!"

    "Hahahahaha"

    Lin He reminded him: "The experts said last time that bamboo fungus usually grows on bamboo whips and dead bamboo roots. You can follow this clue to find them."

    "Father." Sui Sui called them suddenly, "Is this it?"

    Xu Jianian ran over immediately: "Where is there?"

    Sui Sui pointed to the root of an old broken bamboo pole, "Here, a little mushroom in a white dress."

    "It really is."

    Xu Jianian's eyes lit up, and he looked at the old bamboo that broke and dried up at some point, and couldn't help asking: "Then the bamboo we cut off before, will the roots also grow bamboo fungus?"

    "Not necessarily." Lin He pointed to the broken bamboo piles left by the previous felling, "Only some of the roots of the bamboos we cut are dead, and a large part of them grow new bamboos along the bamboo whips, and they will not grow bamboo fungus."

    "Yes." The video-connected expert followed up to help answer, "And the bamboo fungus is a mesophilic fungus, which is relatively rare in tropical islands this season."

    "Then I'm lucky to meet you twice?" Xu Jianian was not depressed when he heard this, but rather proud.

    Lin He and Suisui laughed and cheered: "Yeah."

    When the family of three returned to the stone house, the clouds had completely dispersed, the sky was high and the sea was wide, the sea and sky were the same color, and the sun was shining brightly.

    Xu Jianian hurriedly asked Sui Sui to take off his raincoat and rain boots, and helped him wipe off his sweat.

    The other three groups of guests also came back from the sea and were making breakfast.

    It's a pity that their simple stove was flooded with water last night, and it was difficult to start a fire, which caused the whole camp to be smoky.

    Xu Jianian distributed some of the mushrooms he picked to several other families, and when he came back, he had a bouquet of unknown purple flowers in his hand, which looked a bit like daisies, but upon closer inspection, they were not.

    "Where did you get the flowers?" Lin He asked after successfully lighting the fire.

    Xu Jianian: "Sister Yan Xue gave it as a thank you gift for mushrooms. But I think the other two also have them, maybe they went to pick them together."

    Lin He nodded when he heard the words, and seeing that he liked the flower, he handed him a bamboo tube: "Do you want to keep it?"

    Xu Jianian laughed: "I think so too."

    He put the small bouquet of flowers into a bamboo tube filled with water and put it on the suitcase in the house.When the ground is dry and the firewood on the table is cleared, it can be placed on the dining table.

    They ate mushroom and seafood noodles for breakfast. Xu Jianian and Sui Sui started yawning after eating, so Lin He asked them to go back to catch up on sleep.

    "I'll call you if something happens."

    Xu Jianian couldn't bear the sleepiness anymore, so he said to him: "Why don't you sleep for a while, and we will repair the fish pond together later."

    Lin He nodded, and the family of three went back to bed and lay down for a while.

    Barrage: "It's broad daylight, don't you sleep well during the live broadcast, hehehe~"

    "If I got up so early, I wouldn't be able to hold on."

    "It would be impossible for me to get up so early / dog head"

    Lin He woke up after lying down for less than half an hour. Hearing someone wandering outside the house, he got up and went to open the door.

    "Is there something wrong?"

    Standing outside the door, Zhou Kai was stunned when he saw him, "I thought you guys weren't here..." Otherwise, why would the door be closed in broad daylight without making a sound.

    Lin He said succinctly, "I'm catching up on sleep."

    "..."

    Zhou Kai: "I'll get the luggage, our tent is set up."

    Lin He glanced back into the room, and said in a low voice, "Are you in a hurry? They're still sleeping, so I'll help you get them if you need them urgently."

    Hearing this, Zhou Kai stopped the foot that was about to enter the house, and nodded: "Okay, please help us take out the mattress and suitcase, and I will pack up later."

    Lin He nodded, and gently helped him take out the things.

    Barrage: "Boss Lin really loves Xu Jianian so much that he doesn't even let others disturb his sleep."

    [I heard that the two families slept together last night, Mr. Lin doesn't mind if the new house has a "rival in love"?】

    "You must mind, but yesterday was a special situation, you see he won't let Zhou Kai in today."

    "Hahahaha President Lin is so stingy in your eyes?"

    Lin He helped them move things, closed the door, and prepared to clean the fish pond.

    At this time, the program team informed everyone that under the ravages of the storm last night, some of the small saplings we had planted before fell down, and the vegetables in the plantation also suffered damage to varying degrees, and we needed everyone's help to save them.

    The other three groups of guests responded positively, but Lin He put on sun protection clothing and prepared to go out with a hat.

    Fang Luchen was slightly surprised: "Don't you call Jia Nian and Sui Sui together?"

    Lin He put on his hat: "They didn't sleep well last night, let them sleep a little longer."

    Perhaps the other guests felt that the lack of people going to their house was because they wanted to be lazy, so he added: "I can do it all by myself."

    Other guests: "..."

    They didn't mean anything else, they were just sour and envious of Xu Jianian!

    Barrage: "I know, I know, Boss Lin loves his wife and children."

    "Anyway, it's right not to let my wife touch the dirty work."

    "He really loves them!"

    Three families and Lin He, who can do as much work as one person, went to complete the task together.

    The small saplings were rescued first, and the fallen ones were replanted. Some that were broken by the strong wind had to be pulled out and replanted. Fortunately, there were not many, and everyone completed it quickly.

    The small cards with the names of each family hanging on the tree branches were damaged by the rain. The program team reissued the small wooden cards to everyone this time.

    Lin He wrote "Family Carnival every year" on it with a marker pen and hung it on the small tree.

    He was silent when working alone, and the director had to remind his follow-up portraits to talk to him more.

    "Boss Lin also knows about 'Sui Sui Family Carnival'?" asked the photographer.

    Lin He: "Jia Nian told me that it was a nickname given to our family by netizens."

    Barrage: "Ah, ah, Mr. Lin and his wife have approved the CP name we gave them!"

    "It turns out that my wife also secretly surfs the Internet, so did he also see the flirty things we posted? / Squinting smile"

    "Be careful that Boss Lin sees you, and secretly darkens you."

    After rescuing the saplings, everyone went to the plantation again.

    The condition of vegetables is worse than that of saplings. Most of them are picked directly, and some tomato plants and cucumber vines are left, which are tied to branches and propped up, hoping to survive.

    Everyone worked until noon, muddy and exhausted.

    The program group cashed in the task rewards and asked them to take away some vegetables and a chicken and duck.

    Lin He thought of the old hen soup with bamboo fungus that Xu Jianian was thinking about, and he was quite agile in catching the chicken.

    Barrage: "In stark contrast to my wife and Sui Sui's first chicken catching."

    "Hahahahaha"

    "My wife's old hen soup with bamboo fungus is here!"

    Back in the stone house, Sui Sui had already woken up, and got out of bed lightly, and was about to find his father.

    Lin He killed the chicken and cleaned it up, and began to prepare lunch.

    First stew a bamboo fungus chicken soup.

    Seeing him sitting by the stove and sweating a lot, Sui Sui ran into the house to get him a towel, but found a figure flashing outside the window.

    As the figure disappeared, bright light shone into the room from the window and fell on the head of the bed, causing Xu Jianian who was sleeping to frown and turn over.

    Sui Sui hurried to the back of the house and saw the back of Zhou Kai leaving with a bucket.

    He frowned and went back into the house.

    Barrage: "Haha, Sui Sui found the old Zhou/Goutou next door who peeked at Dad"

    "Although, Zhou Kai kindly helped Xu Jianian block the light."

    "If it were you, wouldn't it be scary to wake up and find someone staring at you from the window?"

    "I really don't understand some of Zhou Kai's behaviors. Xu Jianian's glare is none of his business? Don't you think he cares too much?"

    "No, he used to fetch water through the front door, but today he deliberately went through the back of the house."

    "My wife is already married! I hope Mr. Zhou respects himself."

    "Don't over-interpret it! Brother Kai accidentally found it when he was passing by, what's wrong with blocking it?"

    "All right, all you armors are willing to believe:)"

    "Oh my god! Look at the years!"

    Standing in front of the window, Sui Sui stood on tiptoes and spread his arms, trying to help his father block the light coming in from the window, but found that he was too short and too small to be effective.

    He thought for a while, found a stack of papers he had drawn a few days ago, held it up to the window, and found that it was just enough to block the light for his father, and suddenly smiled.

    "What's wrong?" Seeing him running in and out, Lin He couldn't help but come in and take a look.

    "Father." Sui Sui tried his best to hold the drawing paper, turned to look at Lin He, and controlled the volume so as not to wake Dad, "Let's install a curtain, Dad sleeps and hurts his eyes."

    Lin He: "..."

    Barrage: "Hahahaha Mr. Sui, don't you know that there is a thing called an eye mask?"

    "But the blindfold can't prevent Lao Zhou from peeping next door."

    "Boss Lin: It's over, it's over, I'm about to be compared to my son!"

    "In the matter of pampering Jia Nian, Mr. Sui is really better than blue."

    "Boss Sui and Boss Lin are definitely on the same page when it comes to defending against Lao Zhou next door."

    Lin He walked to the window and took a look. The position of the air mattress was not so high before, and they would not sleep so late. When they usually take a nap, the sun has moved from the top of the head to the west, so the light coming in through the window beforeLittle effect on them.

    but now……

    Lin He took the drawing paper in Suisui's hand, and patted his head: "Get Dad up for dinner first, and we'll make the curtains in the afternoon."

    Barrage: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    "I take back that sentence. Although Mr. Sui is better than blue, he can't beat blue for the time being."

    "Because he can't make curtains, but Lin will always do it!"

    "Why does Xu Jianian have such a strong husband and such a good boy? It's really enviable!"

    "Because he is a beautiful and sweet fairy wife!"

    "Did they forget that today is the twelfth day? They will leave the island in three days!"

    "??? Sister, you suddenly told a scary ghost story!"

    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I almost forgot it's over! I don't agree! Can't the live broadcast go on forever..."

    Xu Jianian was called up to have lunch, and tasted the chicken soup with bamboo fungus that he had been thinking about, with rice in bamboo tubes, grilled chicken wings and drumsticks.

    Hearing that Lin He and the others went to plant trees and pick vegetables, he frowned and complained softly: "Why don't you ask me to come with you?"

    Lin He said: "The fish pond hasn't been cleaned yet, and the roof hasn't been repaired yet. Let's meet in the afternoon."

    When Xu Jianian thought that there was still so much work to do, he felt sorry for him even more, and gave him the roasted chicken legs on the bamboo plate, "Eat more, I will work in the afternoon."

    Lin He curled his lips, but he still split the chicken leg into half.The other one was given to Sui Sui.

    After lunch, the whole family was not sleepy, so they went back to the house and blown on the electric fan to pass the time.

    Xu Jianian originally planned to teach Suisui how to draw, but he saw Lin He and Suisui playing with a bundle of long thatch that is common by the stream.

    He asked Lin He in surprise, "Did you cut thatch to mend the roof?"

    "No." Lin He glanced at Suisui, "Thatch has other uses."

    Xu Jianian was slightly stunned, and looked at him and Suisui: "You two have a little secret, why don't you tell me?"

    Sui Sui took his hand, "Dad will know when it's done."

    Xu Jianian thought for a while, and said proudly, "Okay, I'll wait."
