Liu Yifeng, however, took the matter of this trial play even more to heart.
That evening, he went over all the preparations once more, fearing any unpleasant accidents might occur that day.
The day before Du Ziheng brought his friends to Liu Family Village, Haicheng had a light snowfall, but the temperature wasn't too cold.
By the time Du Ziheng and his group arrived at Liu Family Village, it was already past ten o'clock, and the snow on the road had gradually melted.
Because some of the roads in Liu Family Village had not yet been repaired, they were somewhat muddy.
Fortunately, Du Ziheng had considered the ground issue when he had the farmhouse designed, so the farmhouse could still be used as usual.
Before seeing the farmhouse, one of Du Ziheng's friends' children, upon seeing the muddy road, expressed his strong dislike and stubbornly said:
"I don't want to play here at all, it's so dirty."
His mother tried to persuade him:
"Look, Uncle Zhang's son doesn't mind the dirty ground, and the place we're going to later doesn't have such muddy roads."
Only then did the child quiet down.
When everyone arrived at the farmhouse, Liu Yifeng checked the time; it was almost noon.
So, he led them to the family entertainment center and suggested starting the trial play with the picnic project there.
Tongtong, held in Liu Yifeng's arms, looked at the three families who had come for the trial play today, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled.
She turned her little head and saw Xia Qianqian in the crowd, standing not far away and looking at Liu Yifeng.
Wanting to go find Xia Qianqian, she wrapped her arms around Liu Yifeng's neck and pointed in Xia Qianqian's direction:
"Daddy, you and Uncle Du go ahead and busy yourselves, I want to say hello to Auntie Xia!"
Liu Yifeng was busy setting up the picnic area. Hearing Tongtong's voice, he looked up at Xia Qianqian, and their eyes met.
Xia Qianqian shyly turned to the side, looking at Tongtong, and waved at her:
"Tongtong, come here, I'll play with you!"
Liu Yifeng awkwardly put Tongtong down and said:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Qianqian."
Tongtong then gave an even brighter smile and ran towards Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian also half-crouched down, opened her arms, and hugged Tongtong:
"It's no trouble at all! I miss Tongtong too. You and cousin go ahead and get busy!"
After Liu Yifeng arranged the picnic area and cookware to be used, he handed over the specific tasks to the temporarily hired team-building coach.
He then sat down with Du Ziheng on a wooden bench at the back.
As it was a trial operation day, and to test the work capabilities of the three hired coaches,
Liu Yifeng arranged for the three of them to be responsible for different aspects.
"Good noon, dear grown-ups and little friends! Welcome everyone to Tuan Tuan Paradise! I am the coach who will be exploring with you all today—An Zhi. Little friends can call me Brother Xiao Zhi!"
"Hello, Brother Xiao Zhi!"
The children sitting on the log benches heard the coach's strong yet friendly voice and enthusiastically greeted him!
The adults sitting beside the children were also infected by the children's joy:
"Hello, Coach An!"
"Let me listen carefully: Whose tummy is already singing?"
An Zhi said, patting his stomach, "The first activity we're doing today is for everyone to think: What do you want to eat right now?"
Three younger children, with loud voices, eagerly replied first:
"I want chicken wings!"
"I want a cream cake!"
"Ice cream!"
"It's so cold, it's easy for children to get sick if they eat ice cream!" An Zhi said thoughtfully upon hearing the last little girl's answer.
The little boy who had complained about the muddy road earlier also raised his right hand, clad in thick cotton gloves, and agreed:
"Exactly! Exactly! Mom said children shouldn't eat ice cream in winter!"
Then, with one hand on his hip, he took out the small snacks his mother had prepared that morning from his pocket and said proudly:
"But the glutinous rice ice bars my mom made are okay to eat! I'll treat you to the glutinous rice ice bars my mom made, they're delicious! They're not made of ice, so we children can eat them in winter!"
Hearing her son so generously offer to let others eat what he had made, she was very surprised.
Hao Hui looked at the little girl who had mentioned ice cream and thought she was truly adorable:
With big eyes, fair skin, and a slightly pouting face from being contradicted, she wore a pink winter dress adorned with a circle of white rabbit fur at the collar, making her look even more lively and cute.
The adults who overheard their conversation also chimed in with playful laughter:
"Little Tyrant, it's truly a rare sight to see you willing to share your favorite things with others!"
Hao Hui's son, at a young age, was a bit of a neat freak; he never let others touch his things, let alone share his favorite food with others.
The adults who came to play together today all knew each other.
Hao Hui had brought her son to participate in this trial play hoping to help him slightly improve his germophobia, only to find that changes were already occurring before the play even began.
Therefore, she felt the outing was not in vain.
After warming up the atmosphere, An Zhi began to organize the families for the picnic activity.
Liu Yifeng, in order to better understand the projects within the entertainment center, also joined the picnic activity with Tongtong.
Tongtong thought her Daddy would be very busy today, so she was very happy that he could play with her! She was also very enthusiastic when collecting various picnic materials.
Many adults who rarely had the chance to play with their children due to work, after being energized by An Zhi, also enthusiastically participated in the activity.
While picnicking, everyone cooked using the various ingredients prepared by Liu Yifeng, and discovered that their children were eating a lot of the vegetables and fruits they usually disliked.
They also tasted these vegetables and fruits themselves and found that the ones provided by Liu Yifeng were excellent, with a completely different texture and flavor from other vegetables and fruits.
They all asked Liu Yifeng:
"Boss, can we buy your vegetables and fruits separately? The children had a great time today and ate a lot of vegetables they don't usually like. I'd like to take some back."
These inquiries pleasantly surprised Liu Yifeng. Promoting the family entertainment center had actually generated potential customers for his own vegetables.
However, considering the upcoming listing of his vegetable company, he told them:
"You can buy my vegetables at major supermarkets right now, and for the fruits, you can go to Bai Guoyuan."
"Boss, wouldn't it be the same if we bought them directly from you? Why do we have to go to different places?"
Liu Yifeng waved his hand.
