Love Variety Show (Thirty-four)
The patch of land Xi Jiu had planted with the rice transplanter covered about one-twentieth of an acre. Manual planting would have taken at least thirty minutes.
And using the rice transplanter made by Ruan Qi, the planting was completed in just five or six minutes!
[Oh my god... this rice transplanter is amazing! It finished planting a bunch of rice so quickly!]
Mechanization is indeed the most important factor in human development. It took Mr. Xi and his four companions half a day to plant just over an acre, but a transplanter can do the same in just five minutes.
[For a moment, I couldn't tell which was more awesome, the rice transplanter or Ruan Qi...]
Ruan Qi is definitely amazing! Without her, would this rice transplanter even exist? What's wrong with her brain? How can she come up with anything?
[Ruan Qisai Gao, I am already tired of talking.]
Ruan Qi made a rice transplanter by herself, which was so eye-catching that it became a hot topic on Weibo in no time.
Passersby and netizens were all stunned when they saw this hot search.
Wasn't the show Ruan Qi was on a dating show? Why did she even make a rice transplanter?
Out of curiosity, everyone clicked on the topic. After understanding the whole story, they were all interested and involuntarily entered the live broadcast room of the dating variety show.
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room has once again skyrocketed.
The program director was very happy and once again felt fortunate that he had invited Ruan Qi as a guest.
At this time, the guests actually started "arguing" in front of the camera.
"Planting rice is our boys' job. Why are you girls interfering? Go play somewhere else and give me the rice transplanter!"
"Who are you talking to, Silin? Don't you want to sleep in the bedroom when you get home?" Ji Beibei slapped Silin hard and pushed him away. "The rice transplanter was made by Ruanbao. Ruanbao is a girl, and so am I. Ruanbao and I are a family, if you round it off. What's wrong with a family using a rice transplanter? Get out of here!"
"Hey, you two, stop arguing. Young people just can't keep their composure. Such impetuousness is not suitable for farm work. Let me, an older person, do it. Si Lin, give me the rice transplanter quickly."
"? Mr. Shi, are you robbing me?"
"Old Shi, you're so old, why are you still so disrespectful?" Ge Mei glared at Shi Su unhappily, then turned and said softly to Si Lin, "I'm different from your Uncle Shi. I don't ask for much. Just try it for a few minutes to experience it. Little Si, you should be able to fulfill Aunt Mei's wish, right?"
"Hey, I also want to try the rice transplanter. But I'm in a wheelchair and it's not very convenient for me to move around. I wonder if there are any kind people who can let me go."
The usually harmonious guests engaged in a frenzy of palace intrigue over a rice transplanter. If it weren't for the cameras, everyone would have been arguing.
Ruan Qi stood aside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, helplessly watching everyone perform funny tricks.
Seeing that this "quarrel" would not end in a short time, she withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Xi Jiu who was standing beside her.
"Jiujiu, why don't you go play with everyone? Are you tired?"
Xi Jiu had been working all day, and his clothes were covered in mud. He didn't reach out to hug the clean little girl, but simply placed his hand gently on her shoulder.
"I'm not tired. I want to be with the babies. Let them play."
Ruan Qi curled her eyes and tilted her head to ask him, "Jiujiu is not interested in the rice transplanter?"
Xi Jiu shook his head.
"I'm interested, but I'd rather stay with you. Let them fight over it first. When they get tired, I'll grab the rice transplanter."
Si Lin, who was pushed out by Ji Beibei, happened to hear these words and was instantly shocked:???
"Hey guys, there's someone waiting to pick up the bargain! Brothers, stop arguing, Master Xi is here waiting to pick up the bargain!"
Si Lin's shout drew everyone's attention.
Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Xi Jiu remained calm and said confidently, "The rice transplanter was made by my fiancée. What's wrong with me using it?"
Everyone:"……"
Can't refute it.
Everyone was choked and their faces turned green.
After watching the excitement for a long time, Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing any longer and curled her eyes.
"Everyone, stop arguing," she offered her opinion with a smile. "Let's take turns, ten minutes each, so everyone can experience it."
It’s not impossible to take turns.
Ten minutes per person, although the time is a bit short, it is enough to satisfy your curiosity.
Everyone thought about it and accepted Ruan Qi's proposal.
In this way, the incident of the rice transplanter pulling out the top flowers finally came to an end.
——
With the help of the rice transplanter, the four male guests quickly completed their rice transplanting task in excess.
The original plan was to plant four acres of land, but the rice transplanter planted the rice too quickly, and in the end, only six acres were planted.
According to the program team's plan, they can earn 150 yuan per acre of land, so six acres of land means 900 yuan.
The huge sum of nine hundred yuan is enough for all the guests to have a good meal.
"When will the guests arrive? It's already past four o'clock."
"It should be soon." Ge Mei pushed open the door of the villa. "Everyone, clean up first, then take a rest, and then you can start preparing dinner."
Just as he finished speaking, a car horn sounded outside the villa.
Everyone turned around and looked outside, and saw a black SUV approaching from the small road, and finally stopped steadily at the gate of the villa.
"Where did the car come from? Did the guests arrive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rear door of the black SUV opened.
A pair of feet in black leather shoes landed on the ground, followed by two long legs wrapped in trousers.
Everyone looked from the feet of the person who came up all the way up, and when they saw the other person's face clearly -
Everyone:!!!
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
Ruan Qi, in particular, looked at the newcomer in shock and said in disbelief: "Brother?! Why is it you?!"
The barrage in the live broadcast room also exploded.
[Holy crap! Young Master Cheng?!]
[Oh my god, isn't this Cheng Jinyan?! He's the guest on the dating show?!]
As the heir to one of China's top wealthy families, although Cheng Jinyan rarely appears in public, his popularity has always been very high.
Especially after the Cheng family fell, Cheng Jinyan's experience of being abused by his parents in his childhood was exposed, and everyone felt even more sympathy for him.
But Cheng Jinyan is not someone who is willing to accept pity.
After the collapse of the Cheng family, many people thought that Cheng Jinyan would have a hard time without the Cheng family as a backer. But Cheng Jinyan gave these people a hard slap in the face with his actual actions -
He exposed his personal assets.
Cheng Jinyan's personal assets are enormous, and all his assets added up are almost comparable to those of the Cheng family during its heyday.
The fall of the Cheng family did not bring him any negative impact. On the contrary, without the entanglement of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinyan could display his personal abilities without scruples, and his status in the business world was even higher than when he was the heir of the Cheng family.
No one expected that such a top bachelor who is at the peak of his career would come to be a guest on a dating variety show.
Xi Jiu participated in the dating show for Ruan Qi. So Cheng Jinyan...
[If I remember correctly, Cheng Jinyan is Ruan Qi's eldest cousin, right? So he came here for Ruan Qi?]
Cheng Jinyan's father was born to Xu Qingya, who was Cheng Qi's mistress. This means Cheng Jinyan is the mistress's grandson. Ruan Qi is the granddaughter of Cheng Qi's first wife. Logically, their relationship should be bad, right?
Didn't you get all the gossip? Although Cheng Jinyan is Xu Qingya's grandson, he was abused by his parents since childhood. Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi ignored him, but only Ruan Qi's parents treated him like their own son. Therefore, Cheng Jinyan sided with the Ruan family. Cheng Jinyan also played a role in the Ruan family's downfall.
So, Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Qi aren't just fake siblings, but they actually have a good relationship?
The wealthy family is full of deep waters. Everyone only knows that Cheng Jinyan stands on the side of the Ruan family, but no one knows what his relationship with Ruan Qi is like.
Even the guests present were a little confused, not knowing whether Cheng Jinyan was an enemy or a friend, and they didn't want to be too enthusiastic for a while.
But Ruan Qi didn't have so many concerns.
She didn't expect Cheng Jinyan to come. When she saw the man getting out of the car, her face showed deep shock, which soon turned into surprise.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"
The little girl with a bun ran over happily, wanting to give Cheng Jinyan a hug.
But just as she opened her hands, she suddenly remembered that she had just finished planting rice seedlings and was covered in mud. Looking at Cheng Jinyan's clean, high-end suit, Ruan Qi hesitated and paused.
Cheng Jinyan didn't care so much.
He saw the little girl's long hands, and a smile appeared in his black eyes under his silver-rimmed glasses. He reached out and hugged Ruan Qi in his arms.
"I wanted to give you a surprise. Are you happy I came, Xiaoqi?"
"Happy, of course I'm happy!" Ruan Qi hugged Cheng Jinyan tightly, and when she looked up, her eyes sparkled. "Brother, you did a great job of keeping it a secret. I didn't even hear a word. By the way, you were the customer who asked on the phone for fried tofu with scallions, right?"
Cheng Jinyan prefers light taste, so boiled fish and yam stewed pork ribs were definitely not what he ordered.
However, dishes like scallion-fried tofu and steamed fish are more in line with his dietary preferences.
Cheng Jinyan smiled faintly and nodded.
"I ordered it. I also ordered a bouquet of flowers. Did Xiaoqi pick them for me?"
Ruan Qi: “…”
When answering the phone before, Ruan Qi did guess whether the other party was Cheng Jinyan based on the customer's tone of voice and food preferences.
But Cheng Jinyan never participated in this kind of entertainment program. She only doubted it for a few seconds and then put the guess behind her.
Ruan Qi did not accept the guest's request for a bouquet of flowers because she was afraid that Xi Jiu would be jealous.
But I didn't expect that the guest was actually Cheng Jinyan.
It was a bit awkward when her eldest cousin wanted a bouquet of flowers but she didn't pick any.
Ruan Qi laughed dryly and made excuses for herself: "We just finished planting the rice seedlings and haven't had time to pick the flowers yet."
Cheng Jinyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Oh? I thought some men were jealous and wouldn't let you pick it."
Ruan Qi: “…”
She turned her head silently and looked at Xi Jiu for help.
Xi Jiu walked over with an expressionless face, raised his hand to hold the little girl's shoulder, and stretched out his other hand towards Cheng Jinyan.
"Brother, long time no see."
The hand Xi Jiu stretched out was covered in dry mud. Cheng Jinyan lowered his eyes and glanced at it, his face full of disgust.
"It's been a while since we last met, but I didn't miss you that much, so forget about the handshake."
Cheng Jinyan's disgust for Xi Jiu was almost overflowing, and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but burst into laughter.
[Oh my goodness, is this how Cheng Jinyan reacts to Xi Jiu?]
[Young Master Cheng: I hate men who steal my sister away the most. I don't even want to hold her hand.]
Young Master Cheng dotes on Soft Baby. His tone of voice is completely different when he speaks to her. I've seen him in interviews before, and he seems quite aloof.
[So, Mr. Cheng, who appears to be a beautiful woman, is actually a sister-con?]
The other side of Cheng Jinyan surprised everyone.
The guests were also very curious about him and were about to go over to say hello when another voice came from the car.
"Brother Cheng, can you please move forward? I want to get off."
Ruan Qi:? This sound?
Ruan Qi recognized the familiar voice and was about to speak when Cheng Jinyan moved her to the side.
The people in the car finally poked their heads out.
A touch of dazzling fluorescent green sparkles brightly under the sun, very fresh and refined.
Everyone was blinded by the green. Ruan Qi covered her face speechlessly and said in pain, "Wang Leke, didn't you dye your hair black before? Why did it turn green again?"
Yes, the second guest is the young master of Chinese film and television, the number one Ruan Chui in the entertainment industry, Master Wang Leke.
Young Master Wang used to love dyeing his hair. But when he became Ruan Qi's younger brother, he dyed his hair back to black and began to seriously learn how to run the family business, no longer being a playboy.
However, today, his long-lost fluorescent green hair color has made a comeback. Compared to two years ago, Mr. Wang's green is now even more dazzling and brilliant.
Hearing Ruan Qi's question, Wang Leke touched his hair and said with a chuckle, "I'm thinking about participating in the show, so I have to have a good image. Sister Ruan, do you think my green hair looks good? I went to the temple to ask a fortune teller, and he said that if I want to participate in a dating show, I have to dye my hair green, the greener the better!"
Ruan Qi: ...
Which temple did you go to find the master?
Didn’t he really become a monk because his wife cheated on him?
Ruan Qi looked at Wang Leke's fluorescent green head, speechless.
The audience in the live broadcast room and the guests present were almost blown away by Wang Le’s ridiculous behavior.
Si Lin tried to suppress his smile as he walked over. "It's Mr. Cheng and Mr. Wang. Welcome to the little room. I'm Si Lin, the guest of the love show."
With Si Lin's opening remarks, other guests also came over and greeted Wang Leke and Cheng Jinyan.
Cheng Jinyan was aloof but not arrogant. And because of Ruan Qi's respect, he was very easygoing with the guests.
Wang Leke is even more outgoing. When he is bored, he can chat for a long time with the chickens passing by, not to mention the guests.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Cheng Jinyan and Wang Leke's attention fell on their muddy clothes.
"Why are you all covered in mud? Did you go to the mud pit to play?" Wang Leke slept in the car all the way and did not watch the live broadcast.
Si Lin gave a wry smile and replied, "How can we have time to play? We just went to the fields to plant rice and just came back."
"Planting rice?!" Wang Leke opened his eyes wide in shock, looking completely clueless. "A dating show also involves planting rice?!"
"Yes, we have to plant rice to earn money, otherwise we won't have money for dinner tonight." Ruan Qi said, patting the mud off his body and said to the two, "Brother Le Ke, come inside first. Your room is on the second floor and it's already packed. Take your luggage there first, and then we'll prepare dinner together!"
Here we come!
