"Oh, I'll give it a try! After working in the countryside for so long, I feel like my hands are much stronger than when I was in the city!"
"It's great that you two are willing to give it a try! Xiaobei, Xiaoli, let's all come over after dinner tonight and cheer them on!"
"Alright! Then I wish Brother Deng a top five finish in advance!"
"I also wish Brother Deng to be in the top five!"
"Hmph, I wish Wenli to be in the top five!"
Seeing that Shen Xiaobei and Ke Xiaoli only had high hopes for Deng Yuliang, Kong Wanwan felt a little unhappy. She rolled her eyes at them, snorted coldly, and then cheered for Du Wenli.
Everyone is used to her competitive and calculating personality.
After listening to Ma Jiquan divide the farm work tasks, they happily continued to chat about dragon boat racing while walking towards the divided farmland.
This afternoon, the entire production team was very enthusiastic about work.
Naturally, efficiency has also been greatly improved.
When Shen Xiaobei saw this scene, he inexplicably felt a great sense of relief for everyone in this production team.
…
Because everyone worked very efficiently in the afternoon, we finished work earlier than usual.
On the way home from work, Shen Xiaobei suggested to Fan Huifang that since Deng Yuliang and Du Wenli were going to have an arm wrestling competition in the evening, they should make an exception tonight and cook some dry rice for them so that they could have a full stomach before the competition and have a better chance of winning.
After hearing this, Fan Huifang expressed her agreement.
After everyone returned to the educated youth site, Shen Xiaobei went into the kitchen first and immediately picked up the rice washing basin and filled the rice jar with rice.
She secretly took out six full bowls of rice from the space. One bowl of rice can cook two bowls of rice.
She only filled the rice jar with a bowl of rice, and it didn't look like there was much less.
However, since the rice jar was covered anyway, Shen Xiaobei didn't have to worry about anyone being able to see it.
After the rice was cooked, Fan Huifang saw that the pot was half full of white rice. She was so scared that she immediately checked the rice jar. She was relieved to find that there was still a lot of rice.
However, he still reminded Shen Xiaobei not to cook too much next time and to save some.
Shen Xiaobei nodded in agreement perfunctorily, but naturally didn't take it seriously.
Anyway, she planned to do this secretly whenever she had the chance!
Even if Fan Huifang wondered why the rice in the rice jar never seemed to be missing, she couldn't provide any concrete evidence, so she could just assume it was her own illusion.
The four female educated youth each ate two full bowls of this dry meal, while Deng Yuliang and Du Wenli each ate three full bowls.
All six of them ate with a look of satisfaction and enjoyment.
After dinner and a simple wash, everyone happily came together to the gathering place under the old sycamore tree.
When they arrived, there were already about ten or twenty people gathered under the tree.
Ma Jiquan brought a small table and three stools from home and acted as the referee. Two people were already sitting face to face and were starting to arm wrestle.
Ma Deliang stood by with a notebook and a pen, responsible for recording the names of those who had participated and their wins and losses.
Each two people play three games, and the one who wins more games is the winner.
The game had just started when the atmosphere became quite intense, with people shouting excitedly and nervously nearby.
Kong Wanwan was probably eager to show off to everyone.
The boyfriend I found is not only a good-looking educated young man, but also a strong and useful man.
That's why after watching a three-game match, she couldn't wait to urge Du Wenli to go up and compete with a man who was a few years older than him.
As a result, Du Wenli suffered a crushing defeat!
The total time he played against his opponent was estimated to be less than five minutes, and he lost three games in a row.
You know, the two people who faced off earlier took more than half an hour to decide the winner after three rounds.
Compared with them, Du Wenli seems so weak!
Kong Wanwan never expected that her boyfriend was such a fool. The three big bowls of rice she ate in the evening were completely wasted!
He was so angry that his face turned red.
Afraid of losing face further, he forced himself to hold back and not get angry at Du Wenli in public, making him even more embarrassed.
He just pouted and walked back to the educated youth site.
Du Wenli originally didn't think it would be shameful to lose in this kind of arm wrestling competition, which was not very respectable and could only be held in the countryside.
But the way Kong Wanwan seemed so concerned and angry made him feel quite embarrassed!
I also felt a little depressed.
He didn't really want to participate in the first place, but Kong Wanwan forced him to.
Now that he had lost and failed to save her face as she wished, wasn't it her own responsibility?
So this time, he also took a gamble.
He did not follow Kong Wanwan to chase her and coax her, but stayed here with Deng Yuliang, Shen Xiaobei and others, watching others compete.
Deng Yuliang saw that he played three games in a row and was defeated in a short time every time.
He analyzed to him with a military advisor's face: "Wenli, you lost so quickly. In fact, the main reason is that you and Kong Xiaomei don't understand tactics. You are too impatient!"
"Think about it, this dragon boat race hasn't been held for three years. This year marks the first year it's been revived, and there are so many work points to be awarded for winning!"
"Those who signed up for the duel first must be the ones who really want to participate, are confident in themselves, and have great strength! How can we compete with these strong opponents so quickly?"
"If we want to have a chance, we have to go into battle later! We should try to eat well these few days and practice more privately to make our bodies stronger! Then we can compete with those who also go into battle later like us."
