Chapter 385: Possessed
[With Bai Qing and Chen Zhe here, there shouldn't be much of a problem.]
The program team advanced one hundred yuan in advance. Song Zhiwei and others needed to grind twenty kilograms of corn grits and hand them over to the program team before sunset, otherwise Ma Tao would take back the one hundred yuan advanced.
The yard was covered with snow, and the four men cleared the snow covering the corn and the millstone.
The corn hanging on the wooden stake had already dried up. Song Zhiwei slowly climbed up the ladder, took down the layers of corn on the wooden stake, and handed them to Zhang Rong and others who took turns below.
In a short while, the yard was piled up with small hills of corn.
Zhang Rong held onto the ladder and shouted, "Alright, this should be enough. If we get too much, we'll be at a disadvantage."
【I am dying of laughter at Sister Rong’s words. 】
Ma Tao only gave him 100 yuan. Every extra kilogram of milled rice was a bargain for Ma Tao.
[Sister Rong is right. You have to do the work you're paid for. Any more work will cause your mental state to become unstable.]
"Sister Rong, do you want to take some more? I feel that that is not enough for twenty kilograms." Song Zhiwei stood on the ladder and looked at the small pile of corn below.
[That's enough, absolutely enough. Corn is very heavy. Even if it is crushed, it won't lose much weight.]
Zhang Rong took another look and confirmed, "Almost."
Hearing this, Song Zhiwei obediently came down from the ladder.
Lin Yuan, who was in the same group with Song Zhiwei, didn't say anything extra and just worked silently.
After Zhou Qi and Zhang Rong brought the corn down, Lin Yu'an immediately broke off the corn husks.
[Oh my god, is the sun rising from the west? Lin Yuan actually started working on his own without any instructions.]
Although Lin Yu'an has been working diligently in recent episodes, he's rarely been this proactive. If I hadn't been staring at the screen, I would have thought Lin Yu'an had been possessed.
[How can I not work hard when I'm grouped with my former teammates? What if it gets posted online and people compare me to my corpse?]
Lin Yuan stared at Zhang Rong eagerly, "We don't have any machinery, how are we going to get the corn kernels off?"
"Isn't there a warehouse?" Although Zhang Rong had never lived in the countryside, she had seen on a show before that they had a machine specifically for twisting corn.
As she spoke, Zhang Rong took the initiative to go to the warehouse to check.
Apart from some agricultural tools, there was actually no threshing machine in the warehouse.
The work of several people came to a standstill.
Song Zhiwei suddenly squatted down, picked up the corn on the ground, and threw it hard on the ground several times.
Some of the corn kernels fell off.
"We can throw it, but the speed may be slower, but it is still a little faster than breaking it down one by one with your hands." Song Zhiwei threw the corn to the ground as if he had found a new continent.
Zhang Rong saw the corn kernels flying everywhere and suggested, "Let's throw them here. The corn will jump into the snow. Let's take them to the room and thresh the corn before crushing it with the stone mill."
Following Zhang Rong's instructions, several people put the corn into baskets and carried them all to the living room and beat them hard.
Song Zhiyuan and his team had not gone shopping yet. They were assigned to the cooking team and decided to clear the snow in the yard first and chop firewood for heating the earthen kang in the evening.
Bai Qing, Cheng Yuhan and Zhou Qingli volunteered to go and clear the snow.
Chen Zhe had no choice but to go to the warehouse to get an axe and chop wood.
The owner of the yard trimmed the firewood neatly, and each wood pile was sixty to seventy centimeters high.
Chen Zhe put a small pile aside, picked up a wooden stake and placed it on the large wooden stake used for chopping firewood. He raised the axe high, and when it fell, it was one centimeter away from the wooden stake, and the axe missed and fell on the large wooden stake.
The axe was stuck in the big wooden stake, and Chen Zhe had to use a lot of strength to pull it out.
Chen Zhe explained awkwardly, "I didn't expect chopping wood was such a technical job."
Chen Zhe lived in the countryside for a period of time when he was a child, but he had never done anything like this, so he was inevitably unfamiliar with the work of chopping wood.
Chen Zhe tried again twice, but he made a mistake each time. After finally chopping the wooden stake, he didn't chop it in half because he chopped it crookedly.
When shoveling snow, Bai Qing saw Chen Zhe struggling so hard, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked tentatively, "Brother Zhe, how about I give it a try?"
Now I finally understand why Sister Zhang Rong is so manly, while Chen Zhe is simply a weak, incapable handsome man.
[Not only that, Chen Zhe's temper is slow, which is a perfect match for Zhang Rong's straightforward nature. No wonder these two are a perfect match.]
After Bai Qing took the axe, he quickly split the wooden stake that was giving Chen Zhe a headache into two.
Seeing this, Chen Zhe quickly gave the job to Bai Qing, and took the shovel to help clear the snow in the yard.
As for the purchasing team, they haven't set off yet.
Chen Jingmo was holding Duoduo and waiting for Song Zhiyuan to change clothes.
When they were in Linjiang, the weather was still warm, but when they landed in Songyuan, the weather was warm enough for a physical attack.
Song Zhiyuan was just glad that she brought some thick clothes with her.
Seeing the movie star holding Duoduo, it felt like he was taking care of the child while waiting for Sister Song to go shopping.
[Most importantly, the image is incredibly heartwarming.]
[The movie star wants you to get used to his married life with Sister Song in advance.]
If you guys say that, I'll really go crazy.
Song Zhiyuan put on a pair of thick pants and the wool sweater that Song Zhiwei had put in her suitcase.
Northern Song Zhiyuan had only been to Kyoto and had never been to Songyuan.
She had never experienced winter in Kyoto.
When Song Zhiwei helped her stuff the cashmere sweater into the suitcase, she thought it was excessive to bring a cashmere sweater at the end of October, but she didn't expect that she would be wearing it now.
She didn't bring any thicker shoes, so after putting on her down jacket, she could only go out wearing spring and autumn shoes.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Song Zhiwei and others knocking corn in the living room. Song Zhiyuan couldn't help but stop and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Song Zhiwei explained, "We couldn't find a thresher, so we had to knock the corn off."
"You're going to keep knocking until the end of time. Go to the warehouse and see if there is a screwdriver." Song Zhiyuan looked at Song Zhiwei.
Song Zhiwei clearly didn't understand what his sister was trying to do, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Sister, what do you want a screwdriver for?"
"Don't ask, just go find it." Song Zhiyuan didn't explain much.
Song Zhiwei obediently went to the warehouse to find two different screwdrivers, one single-blade and the other a cross-shaped screwdriver, "Sister, you use that one."
Song Zhiwei didn't know which one his sister would use, so he simply took both screwdrivers.
Song Zhiyuan naturally took the single-blade screwdriver, then squatted in front of a pile of corn, used the single-blade screwdriver to press against the base of the corn kernels, and pried them off along the entire row.
Song Zhiyuan would use a screwdriver to pry out the next row every few rows.
Taking advantage of the gap created by prying it off, I gently bent it with my hands and it fell off.
Several people were stunned.
Song Zhiyuan handed the screwdriver to Song Zhiwei and said, "Take your time, we'll go to the market to buy some first."
