Chapter 245: Experience the Joy of Cleaning Up the Mess

Cheng Yuhan explained, "We can form a team of two and hold umbrellas for each other."

"It's a bit of a waste of labor and slows down our harvesting time." Song Zhiwei rejected Cheng Yuhan's proposal.

If the task is not completed, according to the dog director's nature, he may really have no food to eat at night.

The three of them could only harvest the grapes by tilting their heads and holding the umbrella with their necks.

Just at this moment, Song Zhiyuan disappeared for a while and came from a distance with an umbrella. When she came closer, Song Zhiyuan took out four raincoats from her handbag and distributed them to everyone.

Cheng Yuhan asked in surprise, "Sister Song, where did you get this raincoat? It's like a lifesaver. It's so inconvenient to pick fruits with an umbrella. It's a waste of time."

"It's not that magical. We bought the raincoat with the money we had left over from yesterday and the boss. I guess we'll have to go pack grapes to earn our lunch money again." After putting on the raincoat, Song Zhiyuan put away the umbrellas.

"This money is well spent, otherwise it would be a waste of time." Cheng Yuhan said in praise.

He didn't even think of spending money to exchange a raincoat with his boss.

It was awkward not having an umbrella, but it really sped up their picking speed. However, after a while, the four of them filled four baskets of grapes each. They needed to choose one person to transport the grapes to the base with a cart to dry the moisture on the surface of the grapes so that they could be packaged.

Song Zhiwei took the initiative to suggest, "Let the three of us boys take turns."

Neither Shen Jingmo nor Cheng Yuhan objected, and Cheng Yuhan even took the initiative to take on the task of delivering grapes to the base.

Bai Qing and Chen Zhe from Zhang Rong's group volunteered to deliver grapes to the base.

At the same time, Zhou Qingli not only picked the grapes slowly, but also threw them around, causing them to bump into each other, which looked very dangerous. The person in charge said before picking that compensation would be required for damaged grapes.

They were a team now, and if one person broke something, the whole team would be in trouble. Su Qian glanced at her and patiently reminded her, "Sister Qingli, be careful when placing the grapes. The skin is a bit thin and you might puncture it if you're not careful."

"Without you teaching me how to do things, I picked all the grapes without breaking a single one." Zhou Qingli casually threw the grapes in his hand into the basket.

Lin Yu'an, who was standing by, started to panic.

Seeing that other groups had already started transporting grapes, Lin Yuan suggested, "Sister Qingli, we'll pick the grapes here. You go and deliver the grapes we've picked to the base."

Lin Yuan's suggestion is extremely dangerous. Zhou Qingli can't even pick grapes properly, and he's trying to transport them. Isn't that even more dangerous?

[The orchard provides wheelbarrows, which require some skill.]

The straw raincoats they wore were heavy and awkward, making them uncomfortable to work in. Zhou Qingli had long been fed up with them, but when she heard that she was asked to transport them, she readily agreed.

Su Qian loaded the two baskets of picked grapes into a wheelbarrow and handed them to Zhou Qingli.

Zhou Qingli gripped the handles on both sides of the wheelbarrow and lifted it with force. The vehicle, which was supported by only one wheel, swayed from side to side. Zhou Qingli managed to move forward, pushed out the grape rack, and turned a corner to meet Cheng Yuhan, who was also transporting grapes to the base.

After seeing the raincoat on Cheng Yuhan, Zhou Qingli immediately put down the cart and looked at the director team angrily, "Director, didn't you say that we have limited supplies and don't have so many raincoats? Then where did Cheng Yuhan get the raincoat? Director, this is too unfair."

Without waiting for Ma Tao to speak, Cheng Yuhan explained in an annoying tone, "Sister Qingli, you can't blame the director team for this. We bought the raincoats with our own money. If you want them, you can go buy them. Ten yuan a piece, it's not that expensive."

[Hold your head, newbie, be careful not to show off in front of your sister Qingli. Be careful or Zhou Qingli will rip your raincoat off.]

[The newbie has been showing off in front of Zhou Qingli lately, giving the impression that he doesn't care about his own life.]

Zhou Qingli's face instantly darkened. "What's so great about having a raincoat?"

Zhou Qingli muttered something and started pushing the unicycle again.

The orchard path was full of mud due to the rain. The mud and water not only made the path look bumpy, but also made it difficult to push the wheelbarrow when it got stuck in the potholes.

Zhou Qingli tried several times to push the wheelbarrow, but it didn't move. Instead, as the force shifted, the wheelbarrow fell to one side. Zhou Qingli tried to grab the fallen grapes, but in his panic he only managed to grab one grape.

Both baskets of grapes were overturned in the mud, and the plastic baskets were covering the grapes in a mess.

[I said letting Zhou Qingli push the grapes was more dangerous, and now something has really happened.]

Zhou Qingli had just lifted up the wheelbarrow when the vineyard manager came over wearing a raincoat and with a fierce look on his face.

Zhou Qingli saw the grapes spilled on the ground and looked at the person in charge in bewilderment. After a while, Zhou Qingli directly said, "I didn't mean to do that. It's mainly because your orchard made this shabby road. It's full of potholes and hard to walk on."

"Then it's our fault." The person in charge put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhou Qingli with a speechless expression.

Zhou Qingli spoke in a weaker tone, "That's not what I meant."

"I've already said before picking that compensation will be required if the grapes are damaged." The person in charge's expression gradually became serious.

Upon hearing the noise, Su Qian and Lin Yu'an rushed over. Lin Yu'an took the initiative to communicate with the person in charge, "Boss, we know that we need compensation for damaging the grapes, but we don't have the money right now. Can you please make some concessions?"

[Since Lin Yuan returned from missing an episode, he seems to have really grown up.]

【Don't cause trouble anymore, and take responsibility. 】

[Seeing Lin Yuan stay out of trouble was a little strange for a moment.]

[The instinct to cause trouble has been passed on to Zhou Qingli, allowing Lin Yuan to experience the joy of helping others clean up their messes.]

The person in charge considered Lin Yu'an's words and said, "Since you don't have the money to compensate, then let's use your work to pay off the debt. You knocked over two baskets of grapes, and you need to pick an extra 2,000 kilograms to pay off the debt. You need to sell these two baskets of grapes at a low price to make up for some of the losses."

"Thank you, boss, for your flexibility." After Lin Yu'an thanked him, he and Su Qian picked up the grapes that had fallen on the ground.

Lin Yuan found that Zhou Qingli was not up to the task of pushing the grapes. "Sister Qingli, go to the base first and help pack the grapes into bags, otherwise we won't have money for lunch."

Zhou Qingli did not refute, but went to the base and started packing grapes.

The rain fell slowly and the falling water soaked Song Zhiyuan's shoes and half of her pants, which stuck to her body. Her feet were soaked in the wet shoes and socks, which was not only uncomfortable but also made her feel cold.

As Shen Jingmo was packing grapes into baskets, he glanced over and noticed Song Zhiyuan's situation. "Yuanyuan, go to the base and pack the grapes. We need people to work and earn money to solve the problem of lunch."

The rain showed no sign of stopping. Song Zhiwei felt sorry for his sister suffering outside with them. After hearing Chen Jingmo's initiative, Song Zhiwei immediately agreed, "Sister, what Chen Jingmo said is right. You go to work and earn money, and leave the rest of the grapes to us."
