The recording entered the second week. Hua Fan just woke up early in the morning when she heard the familiar mechanical female voice ringing in her ears.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, congratulations on spending a wonderful first week in the pastoral and completing the task of getting rich through hard work. Now there is a chance to redeem the reward without a threshold. Please contact the program team to redeem it."

"The second week's guest task will be released next. The new house in the small manor will move in. After hearing the news, relatives will come to congratulate you on your housewarming tomorrow. Please treat them well and win the appreciation of relatives!"

When Hua Fan heard the broadcast in a daze, her first reaction was to call up the calendar on the optical computer, and it really had been a week.

He turned over and sighed sullenly: "I feel like I just came to the manor!"

After washing up and going downstairs, Xin Yichuan was already in the living room, Hua Fan muttered to him: "Time flies, Brother Chuan! We have been here for a week!"

While talking, he walked into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Xin Yichuan followed him in, and said with a slight smile, "Because we lived a full and happy life this week, and when we live a full and happy life, time will pass by quickly without knowing it."

Hua Fan nodded in approval: "It makes sense."

Just like when I was studying in my previous life, when I encountered a class I didn't like, I felt that life was like a year. Once I took computer class and physical education class, it was just a flick of a finger.

He stretched his waist, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and finally his mind became much clearer.

Thinking of the next task announced by the program team just now, to receive relatives, but also to receive them well, to win the appreciation of relatives.

Hua Fan turned back to look at Xin Yichuan suddenly, and said with a frown: "The program team will really embarrass us. We just found trouble when we saved some money. Wasn't it intentional?"

"Well, it was intentional, trying to empty out our money."

Xin Yichuan analyzed clearly: "If we earn a lot of money and never lack money again, the program team will definitely think that our recording went too smoothly and it is not worth watching."

"They will definitely find ways to make us feel the urgency at all times."

"It's all a routine!" Hua Fan sighed.

If you want to treat guests, you must also satisfy them. If the guests put forward high demands, not to mention that the cost is not small, it may even be that their little money is not enough.

It's hard to save some money, and this week I will return to being poor and blank again.

Xin Yichuan looked at him with a sullen smile: "Did you just know the style of the program group? It's strange that they don't cheat us."

The two were making breakfast in tacit agreement. When it was almost ready, Ao Lan and Alelei also ran down the stairs, and Ao Lan yelled all the way: "Huahua, Brother Chuan! You just heard the good news announced by the program team Is it? We'll have a dishwasher soon!"

"We also heard that a new task has been announced, let us receive relatives who came to congratulate the housewarming!" Hua Fan turned back and said to him weakly.

"I heard it," Olan said excitedly.

"The program team is showing kindness and wanting to give us gifts? But why do I think they won't be so kind?"

Relatives will definitely bring some things when they come to the door. This is because the guests of the first three seasons have had a miserable life. The program group really has no choice but to arrange relatives to come over, which is equivalent to a subsidy in disguise.

But they don't need it now...

"You know they won't be so kind."

Xin Yichuan said casually, "Gifts are reciprocal, do we have to spend money first before receiving gifts? The gifts from guests may not be worth much."

Hua Fan added regretfully: "I don't know what the guests will ask for. It's hard to say whether our money is enough or not."

Ao Lan opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and then asked cautiously, "How much money do we have left?"

Hua Fan managed the accounts, and he reported an accurate number without thinking.

Aolan swallowed subconsciously when he heard the words.

"I always thought we were quite rich, but unexpectedly, it seems that we are not so rich."

Alelei frowned and said, "We can take care of everything we eat and drink by ourselves. It doesn't matter if it's good or not. Now it's mainly because there are guests coming, and the guests may not be so casual."

Ao Lan pouted: "It's better to continue to make more money!"

Xin Yichuan said, "That's for later."

Hua Fan saw that they immediately showed a look of bitterness and hatred, and said with a smile: "It's not that far yet!"

"Actually, the money and the things we hoarded are enough to make a home-cooked banquet. I just don't know if people will come every day or come together. If it's easy to come together, I'm afraid people will come every day."

"Is it really not too embarrassing?" Alelei said: "The food can be collected in two days, why don't we negotiate with the program team and let the guests come one day later?"

Hua Fan looked at the three of them with visiting eyes and said with a smile, "Let's take one step at a time. If people come every day, it will be useless if the money is not enough, and it will be useless until the day after tomorrow. We can't conjure up dishes by ourselves."

Xin Yichuan understood what he meant, and sighed, "Then what can we do for you?"

"This time, we will definitely need everyone's help!"

Hua Fan turned off the fire: "But now, let's take out the breakfast first, and we'll talk after breakfast."

After breakfast, the four of them had a small meeting.

Hua Fan said: "I will draw up a menu based on what we have now. No one has contacted us to make a request, so I will make it according to the proposed menu. Tomorrow, you can wash the vegetables and dishes by hand and do some preparation work. I can't be too busy."

"I don't know if the guests will stay overnight, and I have to find time to clean up the guest room."

Xin Yichuan said: "Go now."

Hua Fan said: "Then let's split up now. I'll draw up the menu, and you will divide the tasks. One person will pick up the dishwasher, one person will go to see what's cooked in the yard, and one person will clean up the guest room."

Alelei said: "Olan, go pick up his dishwasher, and wash the dishes by the way. Brother Chuan goes to look at the dishes, and I'll go and tidy up the guest room."

"Then it's decided! Come on!"

The four separated, Hua Fan went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, thinking about how to match the limited ingredients, what ingredients needed to be supplemented, so as to create a home-cooked feast.

Ordinary home-cooked banquets are basically chicken, duck and fish, and seafood feasts are a little more elaborate, but seafood is expensive. They can't buy seafood at all with the money they sell vegetables now. The first choice is chicken, duck and fish.

Hua Fan propped her chin, flipping through the recipes in her mind.

He wrote down all the dishes he thought of first, and then thought about whether it was feasible, whether he had enough money to buy ingredients, and wrote and drew like this, leaving a dozen dishes in the end.

They are all replaceable, and I am going to ask Xin Yichuan for their opinions before making a decision.

Suddenly, the landline in the living room rang.

This landline was specially installed by the program team. Hua Fan tried it before and couldn't dial it out. She thought it was a prop installed by the program team to make the scenery more realistic, but she didn't expect it to ring.

Hua Fan knew at a random guess that the person who would call this landline, apart from the program group, must be the relative who will be received next.

He walked over and picked up the phone handle: "Hello, this is the Pastoral Manor, may I ask who are you?"

A simple and honest voice came from the other end of the phone. Without introducing himself, he just said, "I am your relative! I heard that you have just moved into a new house. I want to visit you at noon tomorrow!"

"Haha, welcome! I'm waiting for you tomorrow. I wonder how many people you have coming? Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I don't pay attention to these things, just eat as much as you want, just watch it! Just eat lunch and leave, I have something to do in the afternoon!" The man on the other end of the phone said boldly, "I'll come alone, no beef!"

"Okay, I see." After hanging up the phone, Hua Fan crossed out all the dishes with beef in the dishes listed just now.

He counted eight dishes left, which should be enough for five people.

Hua Fan shouted towards the guest room and outside the yard: "Come to the living room when you're done, our relatives called just now!"

Ao Lan ran in carrying the dishwasher, and asked excitedly, "Do you know who it is?"

Hua Fan shook his head regretfully at him and said, "I didn't tell him when I asked him, and I don't know who it is, it's a man, and his voice should be relatively young."

"That's a big range." Aolan asked again, "Then do you think his voice sounds familiar? Do you think it is more like a celebrity?"

According to the routine of the first three seasons, the so-called relatives in these arrangements are all played by celebrities, who come to the show to show their faces and promote movies and TV shows by the way.

Hua Fan still shook her head: "I can't hear it."

Not to mention whether the dramas filmed by celebrities use their own original sounds, the key is that he just came here and doesn't know any celebrities at all.

Asking him to recognize people by their voices is no different from asking him to find a needle in a haystack.

Aolan carried the dishwasher into the kitchen in disappointment.

Xin Yichuan also came in from the yard, with a tall and straight figure, wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, with cool hands in his trouser pockets, behind his back, so handsome that he has no friends!

Hua Fan swallowed subconsciously.

The corner of Xin Yichuan's mouth was raised, and he smiled meaningfully at him: "Did you say how many people came? Did you ask for anything?"

Hua Fan looked away uncomfortably, and said, "Just one person, he said he doesn't eat beef, just eat as long as he's full, he doesn't care about anything else, and he said he would leave after lunch."

"Alone is fine."

Xin Yichuan walked across to him and sat down casually, his legs became more slender and straight: "Then do you have a menu now?"

Hua Fan turned the optical computer screen to him: "I have drawn up eight dishes, both meat and vegetables, I think it should be almost the same, you can take a look and see if it's okay."

As soon as Aolan heard that the menu had come out, he rushed out like a firecracker: "Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised fish, braised lion head, bamboo shoot soup, wow! I can't help drooling just looking at the names! "

Xin Yichuan only glanced at it and said: "That's no problem. The guests and the five of us have eight dishes for one meal. I think it should be enough. I think there is a fish on it. I will go fishing in the lake later. , you don’t need to spend money to buy it.”

Hua Fan put away his light brain, and said with a smile: "Okay, if possible, I can catch more fish and sell them. I'm so poor. Now, I'm at home and deal with everything that can be done in advance. Let's take it easy tomorrow."

"Okay, let Aolan and Alelei help you at home." Xin Yichuan agreed.

Aolan didn't dare to touch earthworms. He was very self-aware and didn't say to go fishing together. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Chuan, don't worry, I will help Huahua well!"

Hua Fan also reminded: "You come back early at noon."

Xin Yichuan got up, feeling very good: "I will be back soon."
