The other guests all realized that Feng Wenhe was deliberately showing off his wife, and they all chimed in with a few ambiguous, drawn-out sounds.

Wu Ningwei smiled shyly.

The viewers in the live stream also started shipping them in the comments, exclaiming things like, "So sweet! So sweet!" and "They're so in love!!"

Xu Miaotong didn't pay any attention to what Feng Wenhe was saying.

Ever since Director Jiang announced that their family's savings ranked second last season and that they would receive 25 yuan as start-up capital this season, she has been feeling quite pleased with herself.

Look, her day of triumph is almost here!

They came in second last season, but if they work hard this season, first place is definitely theirs!

Moreover, she specifically went to learn cooking. Showing off her culinary skills again this season will definitely not only solidify her fanbase but also attract a wave of new fans.

However, Xu Miaotong's good mood vanished instantly after hearing Director Jiang announce today's tasks.

Director Jiang: "Today's task is to help the villagers you're staying with with their farm work. As usual, the children must participate as well. The villagers will score your work, and the top four will receive a cash reward, except for the last place."

Xu Miaotong "..."

Help the villagers living there with farm work?

Just thinking about Li Qiaohui's face gave Xu Miaotong a headache.

Li Qiaohui will definitely use farm work as an excuse to torment them to death!

Xu Miaotong had a sudden inspiration and asked Director Jiang, "What if the children can't do the farm work we arrange?"

"How could they not be able to do it?" Director Jiang laughed. "The children in the village have all helped with farm work since they were little, so our children can definitely do it too."

Xu Miaotong "..."

Xu Miaotong's original intention was to use the children's name to get Director Jiang to urge the villagers to arrange some easier farm work.

But after Director Jiang said that, Xu Miaotong couldn't say the rest of her words.

"As for what farm work you need to do, you can ask the villagers when you get back." After saying that, Director Jiang waved his hand, telling everyone to hurry up and go.

The other guests returned to their lodgings without delay and asked the homeowner about the farm work they were to do.

Qin Yuanyao and her group needed to go to the back mountain to chop firewood for Grandpa Zhou, who lived alone.

Grandpa Zhou's family still uses the most primitive earthen stove for cooking, so they need firewood to burn.

Guo Zhuyan and his family need to go to the paddy field to transplant rice seedlings.

Feng Wenhe and his family were going to weed the vegetable field.

Zhuo Ranjun's family was helping the homeowner dry the grain.

Only Xu Miaotong's family dawdled back to Li Qiaohui's house. When they heard what farm work Li Qiaohui had asked them to do, they were stunned.

Because Li Qiaohui asked them to carry manure to fertilize the vegetable garden.

"Where should I pick one?" Gao Li asked blankly.

Li Qiaohui gave him a sidelong glance, annoyed. "Of course we go to the toilet to pick it up! We all have dry toilets in the countryside. We go to the dry toilet to collect it, and then carry it to the vegetable garden to fertilize it."

"This..." Xu Miaotong couldn't help but exclaim, "This must smell awful!"

“Of course it stinks.” Li Qiaohui glared at her. “Your poop doesn’t stink! This is how we villagers fertilize our land. You city folks shouldn’t look down on us. As the saying goes, without the stench of manure, there’s no fragrance of grains. Some of the organic food you city folks spend so much money on is grown like this.”

“But we can carry manure, but children can’t,” Xu Miaotong continued to struggle.

She had no desire to pick up manure.

The more smelly she is, the more it damages her image!

She's a fashionista and beauty blogger! She frequents glamorous places and uses only high-end designer brands! How could she do this kind of work!

“Children can use manure scoops to fertilize the vegetable garden. When my child was his age, he was very good at fertilizing.” Li Qiaohui’s words were quickly cut off.

"This is the farm work I've assigned you. Do it or don't, it's up to you." After saying that, Li Qiaohui sat down in a chair with her legs crossed, ignoring them.

Anyway, she's already arranged the farm work. If they don't do it, she'll just give them zero points later.

[That's outrageous!! How could they make Tongtong and the others carry manure! It stinks to death!]

Even if Aunt Li dislikes Tongtong and the others, she can't keep tormenting them like this! Is Aunt Li trying to kill Tongtong and the others?

[Aunt Li is so petty! Just because Tongtong unintentionally mentioned the broken bowl, she's held a grudge ever since. Yesterday she targeted Tongtong and her friends all day, and today she's finding new ways to make things difficult for them. How insecure must she be to hold onto the broken bowl incident until now!]

[Tongtong and her friends have had such bad luck this season. Look how easy the farm work the other guests got!]

Are Xu Miaotong and Gao Li's fans some kind of celestial beings who've never seen the realities of life? What did Aunt Li do to Xu Miaotong and the others? Which of Aunt Li's statements is wrong? Carrying manure and applying fertilizer is common work for villagers; my parents are still doing it. Are your family members so precious that they can't do it?

[The person who said the other guests had easy farm work, are you deliberately trying to smear Xu Miaotong and Gao Li? Frankly, none of the five groups had easy farm work; it's just that your favorites had the most challenging.]

Chopping firewood in the mountains is easy? You have to climb, find firewood, and carry it down the mountain. Tell me, isn't that easy? Weeding and planting rice is easy? You have to be hunched over the whole time, and you'll be so tired you can't even straighten your back! Drying grain is easy? You have to turn the grain over every half hour, and it's easy to get grain itch. Do you know what grain itch is? It's when small red spots and papules easily appear on your skin, causing intense itching. Now tell me, which group is easier than the other?

After the above explanation in the comments, Xu Miaotong and Gao Li's fans dared not say anything.

While Xu Miaotong and Gao Li were still mentally preparing themselves, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi had already gone up the mountain with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Even Chi Nai had a small bamboo basket on her back, and happily held Qin Yuanyao's hand as they walked up the mountain.

[Pfft~ This tiny bamboo basket that Cheese is carrying is just too cute! Another day of melting my heart~]

[And then there's President Chi, a dignified CEO, carrying a bamboo basket like everyone else. It's kind of weird, but also kind of inexplicably handsome (facepalm)]

[Yao Yao is such a beautiful woman, carrying a bamboo basket... but she still looks absolutely gorgeous.]

[I just came from someone's chaotic live stream, and seeing Qin Yuanyao and the others carrying bamboo baskets up the mountain without a single complaint, my eyes and soul were cleansed at the same time.]

[I also came from someone's live stream. Isn't CEO Chi's net worth higher than any of the guests? But I didn't see him nitpicking about the farm work he was assigned! Qin Yuanyao isn't much prettier than some plastic surgery freak, but she didn't make excuses like that person! Some people are just too pretentious, take themselves too seriously, and always think that everyone wants to harm them.]
