Chapter 709: Explosion 16
Gong Jian said there was no problem.
As long as he is not chased by the old sow, he would be happy to pick stars, let alone mangoes.
However, Lu Nan was a little worried about how to choose the second male guest to pick mangoes.
In the morning, Xu Lei and Liu Nanfeng were chasing pigs and carrying pigs, all of which were strenuous work.
Now it would be unfair to let either of them pick the mangoes.
"I'll go." Xu Lei raised his hand. "I'm stronger than Brother Nanfeng, so I'm more suitable for carrying mangoes."
Liu Nanfeng immediately retorted: "Brother Lei twisted his shoulder while lifting a pig this morning and can't do any more heavy work. Transplanting rice is tiring, but it won't hurt his arm. Brother Lei, go plant the rice, and I'll pick the mangoes!"
Xu Lei disagreed.
"You two stop fighting." Ruan Qi suddenly spoke.
She interrupted the two of them slowly, "You guys aren't as strong as me. I'm going to pick mangoes."
"No!" Liu Nanfeng refused without a second thought, "How can a girl like you do so much heavy work?"
The little girl blinked, "But I'm stronger than you."
"..." Liu Nanfeng choked, "That won't work! You just finished carrying the pig this morning, you can't..."
"I'm strong enough to tear a car apart with my bare hands," the little girl interrupted him.
Liu Nanfeng was almost vomiting blood.
He glared at Ruan Qi fiercely and was about to retort when the little girl suddenly reached out and pinched his wrist.
Liu Nanfeng was in so much pain that he burst into tears and his fingers gripping the ladder loosened.
Ruan Qi quickly snatched the ladder, grabbed the tools beside him, turned around and ran away.
…
In the end, the people who went to pick mangoes became Ruan Qi, Jiang Qiang and Gong Jian.
The afternoon sun was scorching the earth.
The little girl was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with a sunflower pattern, a straw hat on her head, and carrying a pile of bamboo baskets in her hands. She walked out of the door in a threatening manner.
Xi Jiu, who had already moved into the house and sat down, saw her outfit, calmly took out his cell phone, switched to silent mode, and pressed the continuous shooting button.
"Brother Lu Nan, Teacher Wang, let's go!" the little girl shouted with full energy.
Lu Nan and Wang Hao poked their heads out of the kitchen and said, "Be careful. Come back and rest if you're tired."
Ruan Qi and Gong Jian shouted "OK" in unison, then skipped out the door.
Jiang Qiang followed the two of them carrying tools, and the smile on her face looked stiff no matter how you looked at it.
The mango orchard is south of the rural cottage, and it only takes a fifteen-minute walk for a few people to get there.
"Wow—so many mangoes!" Ruan Qi's eyes widened in surprise, and she smiled at the camera. "You must give me a drooling emoji in post-production! I really want to eat them!"
"Sister Ruan Qi, look at this!"
Gong Jian stood next to a mango tree, pointing at the large mango on it and shouted to her, "This one is huge! Come and see!"
The little girl ran over immediately.
The two young men, who were less than 40 years old in total, drooled over the mango tree for a long time before finally getting back to the point.
"How many baskets did the mission say we had to pick?"
"Twenty baskets." Ruan Qi pointed at the oversized bamboo basket lying on the ground. "Twenty of these!"
Gong Jian immediately made an expression as if he had been struck by lightning.
"This show is so inhumane," he broke down.
"Think about the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tonight, young man." Ruan Qi patted his shoulder with a smile, then put on work gloves, took out a pair of scissors and started working.
When Gong Jian saw her start working, he quickly brought the basket over and started helping.
The two people were busy around a mango tree, and Jiang Qiang, who had been standing aside as a background, looked a little unhappy.
Looking at the half-filled basket of mangoes, she couldn't help but ask, "Should we carry all these back to the farmhouse?"
Gong Jian glanced at Ruan Qi, and seeing that she wasn't about to speak, he nodded and said, "Yes. The director said they all have to be carried back. What's wrong, Teacher Jiang?"
"The mango orchard is only a fifteen-minute walk from the farmhouse, and we still have to carry such heavy things. Can't you even prepare a car for us?" Jiang Qiang asked with a stern face.
Gong Jian wanted to say that this was arranged by the program team, but when he saw her ugly face, he swallowed the words back.
Seeing that both of them ignored her, Jiang Qiang's expression became even uglier.
She turned to look at the director, forced a smile and said, "Can the production team give us a car?"
"No." The director refused decisively.
Jiang Qiang's expression was almost unbearable.
She looked at Ruan Qi and Gong Jian with a long face. They had already picked a large basket and were discussing how to transport it.
"It takes half an hour to go back and forth. It's a waste of time for two people to carry a basket." Ruan Qi grabbed the basket and lifted it up. "This weight is not bad. I can carry a basket by myself."
Gong Jian gasped and was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
Each of these large green mangoes weighs almost one pound, and there are at least forty of them in this basket.
It weighs at least fifty kilograms. Ruan Qi, a little girl who looks like she weighs less than ninety kilograms, can actually carry a basket by herself!
Girl, did you grow up eating spinach?!
Gong Jian was frightened, and at the same time, a strong desire to fight burned in his heart.
I absolutely cannot lose to a delicate little girl!
He quickly picked another basket of mangoes, then put it on his back and stood up crookedly.
"Sister Ruan, how about it? I can carry a basket too!" The eighteen-year-old boy's eyes sparkled.
Ruan Qi smiled sweetly and gave him a thumbs up, "Great!"
After saying that, she squatted down and carried another basket of mangoes on her back.
Jiang Qiang's eyes flickered when he saw this scene, and he smiled and clapped his hands, "You two are amazing! You're both so capable!"
Ruan Qi smiled at her politely and said nothing.
Jiang Qiang's eyes rolled, and he said in a surprised voice, "I have an idea that will help us complete the mission faster."
"What's the idea?" Gong Jian asked.
Jiang Qiang immediately said, "Xiao Qi is very strong, Gong Jian, you and she will be responsible for carrying the mangoes. How about I pick the mangoes? This way, we can divide the work in an orderly manner, and you won't have to pick and carry at the same time."
"..." Ruan Qi and Gong Jian looked at each other, both with expressions that were difficult to describe.
Does this sister think they are fools?
Is the division of labor orderly?
Is there anyone who can fool people like you?
Even a three-year-old child knows that carrying mangoes is tiring, but picking mangoes is not!
Even if you pick all the mangoes in the entire mango orchard, it is still not as good as walking back and forth for half an hour carrying something weighing fifty or sixty kilograms!
Gong Jian was a little angry.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Ruan Qi gently pulled him back.
"Let's do as Teacher Jiang says." The little girl put on her straw hat and asked again with a smile, "Teacher Jiang will be responsible for picking these twenty baskets of mangoes, and we will be responsible for carrying them. It's a clear division of labor, right?"
Jiang Qiang nodded quickly, "Yes. I'll take care of picking the mangoes, you just focus on carrying them!"
"That's fine." Ruan Qi gave an ambiguous laugh. "Let's go, Gong Jian. Let's take these two baskets back first. Teacher Jiang, you pick them first."
