Chapter 7: No Team Sense

After receiving breakfast, everyone returned to their residence.

Because Meng Chuyuan and his family's adobe house was far away, it took them longer than others to get back.

Lu Jinsen woke up in a daze and went to the bathroom. He was exposed to the morning breeze and the sudden coolness made him much more awake.

When he came back and passed by Meng Chuyuan's room, he noticed that the door was open.

Lu Jinsen slowed down his pace, frowned slightly, and glanced inside intentionally or unintentionally, and found that Meng Chuyuan was not in the room.

Where did this woman go so early in the morning?

Did he go to get breakfast?

Lu Jinsen suddenly remembered this incident and naturally thought that she had gotten up early and gone to the supply station.

He went back to his room, changed his clothes, washed up, and sat quietly in the yard.

What's going on, young master? Are you just going to sit there and blast the cold wind?

[I'm dying of laughter. He looks like an empty-nest elderly person.]

[I don’t understand why the production team gave him so many shots]

[It’s really annoying that there is no fast-forward function in the live broadcast room]

When he saw Meng Chuyuan appear, a hint of imperceptible joy flashed in Lu Jinsen's eyes.

For a moment, Lu Jinsen almost stood up and went to the door to greet Meng Chuyuan, but this small action was not captured on camera, but his eager eyes were quite distracting.

Meng Chuyuan put his hands behind his back and walked into the yard slowly.

Lu Jinsen raised his head and looked at her: "Are you back?"

"Um."

When Meng Chuyuan approached and was about to pass by him, Lu Jinsen could see the hand behind her back clearly.

Empty-handed.

Nothing.

Lu Jinsen frowned and asked coldly, "Where's breakfast?"

Meng Chuyuan looked back at him and asked, "What breakfast?"

The next second, Lu Jinsen's expression could no longer be maintained.

Did he make a mistake from the beginning and shouldn't have had any hope for her?

Meng Chuyuan stared at him, and seemed to see disappointment in his eyes. She chuckled softly: "You didn't think I would bring you breakfast, did you?"

Lu Jinsen didn't say a word, his face looked extremely bad, as if someone owed him millions.

[Hahahahaha fuck, I was so focused on dividing the eggs just now that I realized Sister Meng really didn’t take anything.]

[Sister Meng is Sister Meng, she won’t take anything that’s within her reach]

[xswl, this group has absolutely no division of labor, no discussion, and no tacit understanding. It’s better to get out as soon as possible and stop recording.]

[I suddenly realized that Keke couldn't bear to wake her sister up, so she went alone. The same thing happened to her brother Qi Zhen. They always went out quietly. They are really nice.]

[Awesome! She went there but didn't help bring him back. Do they have a grudge against each other?]

[Sister Hua Vase has no sense of teamwork. It’s not a big deal if she helps the young master.]

…

At 8:30 in the morning, three groups of guests gathered in Zaozhuang.

Their task today is to help the villagers pick dates. The specific number of kilograms to be collected depends on the total weight of their group, so before picking, the guests need to measure their weight first and register before picking.

As long as they complete today's task, they can obtain labor coins and then exchange them for ingredients from the program team.

When the guests heard that they would publicly measure their weight on the show, some of them started to feel uneasy.

The director asked the staff to take out the scale and put it right in front of them: "Who goes first?"

No one responded, and no one was willing to step forward, which made the audience in the live broadcast room very anxious.

"It's just a scale. What's so scary? Just go up there and it's done. What's there to be afraid of?"

[After all, she is a public figure, so I understand she doesn't want to reveal her weight, but since she's on the show, can she please be more honest?]

[The production team is still really good at making fun of us, hahahahaha. Last season they measured height, this season they measured weight, what will they measure next time?]

[You've all become so skinny! Your thighs aren't even as thick as my arms. Is there any need to feel inferior when you step on the scale?]

[For female celebrities, the scale is like a magic mirror. Who dares to step on it?]

If women are unwilling, won't men step up and take the lead?

Seeing that the others had serious expressions and none of them responded to the director, Meng Chuyuan raised her hand and said, "I'll go first."

Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan walked forward slowly and stood on the electronic scale, which showed that her weight was 47 kilograms.

[Fuck! This beauty is too thin!]

[Look how happy I am, Sister Meng. This is the benchmark for women in the new era.]

[Can you please stop praising her? She's not in the entertainment industry, so who cares about her weight?]

[Tsk, isn't it her weight that gives her confidence? What's there to be proud of?]

[Ah, yes, yes, it's not just my weight that I'm confident about, I'm also confident about my beauty. Are you jealous?]

Since Meng Chuyuan had already stepped onto the scale, the others naturally had no choice but to follow suit and step onto the scale one by one for the director to register.

The data finally calculated by the director was: 116 kilograms for the uncle and sister-in-law group, 107 kilograms for the sisters group, and 119 kilograms for the brother and sister group.

After determining the amount of dates to be picked today, the director invited local growers to come and teach everyone how to pick them.

The local jujubes have always been picked manually, so it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The jujube foreman gave each group thin bamboo poles and plastic paper for picking the dates, and then spoke in not very standard Mandarin, carefully demonstrating how to do it.

The plumber first spread a large area of plastic paper flat on the ground, keeping an appropriate distance from the tree trunk. Then he picked up a bamboo pole and tapped the tree gently, and all the dates on the tree fell off. Then he slowly folded up the plastic paper and poured the red dates into the fruit basket.

After reading it, Qi Zhen suddenly felt eager to try it out: "It seems quite simple."

The plumber raised his hand and said kindly, "Come on, try it."

Qi Zhen seemed to be interested in catching dates. He laid out the plastic paper by himself and took his first shot under the guidance of the foreman.

The first attempt was not very ideal, and only a few dates fell.

He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It doesn't seem to be that simple."

[Oh my god, hahahaha, did brother Qi Zhen grow up eating cuteness?]

[Hahahaha, brother, it’s okay. This is definitely the pole’s fault, not yours.]

[This is a great shot. Don’t take it again next time.]

[I can watch my brother scratching his head and being confused ten times, hahaha]

[Come on, Qi Zhen, you're already great, give you a thumbs up]

The foreman said, "You can use a little more force. If you hit it harder, more dates will fall off."

He nodded and said, "I'll try to find the feeling again."

Qi Zhen hit the jujube tree twice more. This time, more jujubes fell than before, and he quickly found his rhythm.

At the same time, Liao Jiake and her sister also started hitting dates, but this group consisted of only girls, so they were somewhat at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Both groups were working hard to pick dates, striving to complete the task as soon as possible. However, on the other side, there were two people wandering around in front of the camera, doing nothing.
