A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 554 - 548: Sweet Extra—Couple’s Variety Show 33

When everyone thought Jing Jihan was unwilling to accept the tent conditions and went back to the car to get something or to take a break, unexpectedly, after communicating with the director team and confirming that all necessary materials for living in the tent had to be acquired by themselves, he stopped communicating with the crew and wandered around the vicinity of the guesthouse for a moment.

This area is considered a tourist spot near the ancient city of L City, but not the most popular spot in the center. Although there are tourists, there aren’t too many, as most are shop owners, employees, or residents living nearby. Sparse vegetable and fruit gardens were shielded by fences, and after walking about a mile, there was an old shack-style small supermarket.

There was no electric mosquito repellent or liquid mosquito repellent here, only the very old-fashioned black coil mosquito repellent.

The program team did not allow the guests to carry cash, nor could they make additional payments via scanning. One pack of mosquito incenses cost five yuan. After Jing Jihan found out the price, without saying much, he looked back at the ice cabinet in the small supermarket. The ice cabinet was also a very old brand, where thick layers of ice easily accumulated around it and usually required hiring someone to clear out the ice to make more space inside.

Coincidentally, the owner’s wife had to return home later to cook for a bedridden elderly family member. Jing Jihan proactively offered to watch the store for her. Such a small supermarket never hired anyone and was very particular about money. The owner’s wife considered that she indeed couldn’t leave right now, and the handsome, young, and strong guy in front of her seemed quite reliable. Especially since there was a camera following him all the time, he should be one of the people shooting a program nearby these days. He’s so good-looking that he might also be a celebrity.

Thus, considering Jing Jihan’s politeness and good looks, the owner’s wife agreed to let him watch the shop for an hour, but the hourly wage was only ten yuan.

Jing Jihan didn’t mind her ridiculously low hourly wage, as it was enough to buy a pack of mosquito incense for Shi Su.

Before leaving, the owner’s wife saw him glance at the ice cabinet again and immediately had an idea, "How about this, young man, if you can clear the ice layers in the cabinet within this hour, I’ll pay you another ten yuan. How about that?"

In fact, doing it herself would be very labor-intensive to remove the ice layer, and hiring someone else would cost at least twenty or thirty yuan. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She thought the young man might negotiate with her, but Jing Jihan surprisingly nodded and agreed, "Okay."

The owner’s wife was overjoyed, feeling like he might change his mind, so she quickly took out a spatula and handed it to him before directly leaving.

Once the owner’s wife left, Jing Jihan glanced at the items on the counter and, seeing that no customers were coming in for now, picked up the spatula to start clearing the ice cabinet.

Just then, the owner’s wife’s seventeen-year-old daughter finished her homework in the back room and came out. She had heard what happened while doing her homework and didn’t pay much attention, but as soon as she came out and saw Jing Jihan, who was scraping ice by the freezer, her face turned red. Seeing that he had scraped out some ice blocks, she hurriedly looked for a big foam box to help him pack it, and while helping beside him, asked blushingly, "Are you a star in that variety show crew next door? What shows have you acted in?"

Jing Jihan took the foam box but did not respond to the little girl next to him. Neglected, the little girl happily went to get two ice creams to offer him. Jing Jihan declined coldly and distantly and clearly bothered by her standing next to him, as it required a lot of force to scrape the ice at the bottom of the cabinet. He gave her a look suggesting she should move away. The little girl blushed, stuck out her tongue, and quickly ran to the side but still peeked at him from time to time.
