Love Variety Show (Thirty)
"No." Xi Jiu smiled and touched her head. "Although I've never done farm work, the training in the army was much harder than this. Planting a few acres of land is nothing to me."
Ruan Qi knew Xi Jiu was a capable person, but she was worried about her husband, and she was afraid that Xi Jiu would be wronged on the show.
Ruan Qi thought for a moment, turned around and ran back to the bedroom, and came back a few moments later with a bag of things.
"Jiujiu, this is the insect repellent medicine packet my master gave me before I left. There are a lot of insects in the fields right now. Take one packet and put it in your pocket. Share the rest with Uncle Shi and the others."
The anthelmintic medicine package given by Nie Beilou must not be an ordinary item.
Xi Jiu took it, took out a package and put it in his trouser pocket, then asked Ruan Qi worriedly: "Baby, do you have any?"
"I have a small sachet." Ruan Qi patted her waist, where she often wore a scented bell that could repel most insects. "I gave it to Sister Beibei and the others. You guys keep these."
The young lovers were both worried about each other and kept giving each other advice for a long time before reluctantly parting.
Xi Jiu put on a straw hat and went to meet up with Shi Su and the other two, while Ruan Qi turned around and went to find Ji Beibei and the others.
Several girls had already changed their clothes at this time.
Ruan Qi walked into the tool room and was stunned when she saw Lan Lan sitting in a wheelchair.
"Sister Lanlan, are you going too?"
Lan Lan returned home at midnight yesterday. When everyone saw her this morning, she was already in a wheelchair.
Everyone thought that Lan Lan would not participate in today's event, but they didn't expect her to come.
"Is your foot okay? If not, don't force it. Foot injuries are difficult to heal, so don't make it worse." Ge Mei advised her worriedly.
Lan Lan smiled quietly and said softly, "It's okay. The doctor said I just had a sprain and no broken bones. I'll be fine after a few days of medication. Although I can't walk now, I can still do simple farm work. Don't worry."
Ruan Qi walked over, squatted down and checked Lan Lan's ankle. Only after making sure that she was really fine did she relax.
"It's really just a sprain. Let's do this, Sister Lanlan, you and Aunt Mei go give the pig a bath. That job shouldn't require much leg work, so you can just sit down and do it."
Lan Lan had no objection and nodded: "Okay."
After some conversation, Lan Lan and Ge Mei went to the pigpen, while Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei went to the fish pond.
The fish pond in this village is very big. It was the first time that Ji Beibei saw a fish pond in the countryside, and she couldn't help but exclaim that she had never seen the world before.
"Oh my god, this is too big, right? How many fish can you raise in such a big pond?"
Ji Beibei moved around the shore like a monkey. Occasionally, when a fish emerged from the water, she would scream with excitement.
Ruan Qi was so amused that she couldn't help but hold her back: "Sister Beibei, calm down. It's just a fish pond."
"But this is the first time I've seen a fish pond in person!" Ji Beibei's face flushed with excitement. She waved her hand towards the distance, her energy sinking into her dantian as she roared, "Xiao Qi, look! I've contracted this fish pond for you!"
Ruan Qi: “…”
That's not necessary.
Seeing Ji Beibei's dramatic side, Ruan Qi had to change the subject: "Sister Beibei, we should go down to catch fish. Calm down, and be careful not to slip when you go down."
Ji Beibei finally remembered the important matter.
She nodded quickly. "Okay, okay, I'll be careful. How do we get down? Just jump in? Can this fishing net catch any fish? Will it leak?"
Ji Beibei is a curious layman who asks questions about everything.
Ruan Qi answered patiently while helping her carry the bamboo basket on her back.
"Once you're down there, use the net to catch the fish and put them in the bamboo basket. Don't be nervous, it's easy."
After Ruan Qi finished speaking, she took Ji Beibei's hand and walked down the fish pond slowly from the shore.
The fish pond was filled with mud except for water. As soon as Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei stepped into it, their feet were trapped in the mud.
Fortunately, they were wearing a jumpsuit with boots and pants connected together, which made it easier to move, and they pulled their feet out with a little effort.
Ruan Qi helped Ji Beibei walk to the center of the fish pond, then picked up the fishing net and began to teach her how to catch fish.
"Sister Beibei, watch my movements." She gripped the handle of the fishing net with both hands, staring at the water. "Try not to make any big movements, so as not to scare the fish around you. When it swims over, lower the net as quickly as possible—"
Crash——!
Ruan Qi's moves were as fast as lightning, and the fishing net was like water in the blink of an eye.
Countless splashes instantly stirred up the water surface. Before Ji Beibei could react, she saw Ruan Qi pull the fishing net up with all her strength.
A silver carp weighing at least five or six kilograms was caught.
"Oh my god! They fished it out already?!"
Ji Beibei was stunned.
A large, white silver carp weighing five or six pounds leaped wildly in the net, splashing water everywhere. Ruan Qi wiped her face, held the net firmly in her hand, and dumped it into the bamboo basket behind her.
The big white carp were poured into the basket.
"See, it's that simple." Ruan Qi said to Ji Beibei with a smile.
Ji Beibei: “…”
[??? How did Ruan Qi catch the fish just now? Is it my network card or the live stream frame rate drop? Why can't I see it clearly?]
[She's so fast! Holy crap! She's worthy of being the number one in esports! Her hand speed is incredible!]
[Oh my god, is this true? Did the production crew deliberately put dead fish in the pond? Whose fish is so easy to catch?]
How could it be a dead fish? Didn't you see it jumping around in the net? Ruan Qi must have been catching fish since she was a child.
Everyone was shocked by Ruan Qi's speed.
Seeing how easy it was for Ruan Qi to catch fish, Ji Beibei couldn't help but feel tempted, so she also grabbed the fishing net and gave it a try.
result……
Her arms were almost cramping from exhaustion, but she didn't catch a single fish.
"How is this possible? I did it exactly as you said, so why can't I catch a single fish? Is there something wrong with my net?"
Ji Beibei carefully checked the fishing net, and finally faced the reality with sadness - it was not that the fishing net was broken, but that she was too weak.
Ruan Qi smiled and comforted her: "Don't be sad, Sister Beibei. It's normal for you to not be able to catch any fish on your first try. I was like that when I was a kid, too."
Actually, it’s not.
Ruan Qi started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and in less than a year he was able to catch fish accurately.
But she didn't tell the truth. She just comforted Ji Beibei gently and caught another big carp and put it in Ji Beibei's bamboo basket.
Ji Beibei was immediately healed by the soft little girl.
"I'm fine, I'll practice slowly. Soft Baby, don't worry about me, go catch some fish, our team depends on you!"
Ji Beibei's way of addressing Ruan Qi has changed from Teacher Xiaoqi to the affectionate Soft Baby. Ruan Qi smiled and blinked, then caught another big carp and put it in her basket.
"Sister Beibei, take it and play with it. I'm going to go fishing. Call me if you need anything."
Time was running out, so Ruan Qi stopped chatting and started concentrating on catching fish with the fishing net.
In the next half hour, Ji Beibei and all the viewers in the live broadcast room witnessed a "live fish teleportation technique" with their own eyes.
Ruan Qi's fishing net never stopped.
Any fish she sets her sights on will be caught in less than ten seconds.
Silver carp, big carp, fat grass carp, all kinds of fish were caught by her continuously, and the bamboo basket on her back was soon full.
Seeing this, Ji Beibei quickly took off her bamboo basket.
"Ruanbao, use this. I'll take your basket to shore."
Ruan Qi took down the bamboo basket full of fish and handed it to Ji Beibei, then continued to catch fish with the new bamboo basket on his back.
Ji Beibei carried the heavy basket and moved to the shore with difficulty, then poured the fish into the big fishing net.
In this way, Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei, one scooping and the other carrying, in less than two hours, the large fishing nets on the shore were all full.
“Phew! I’m so tired!”
After pouring the last basket of fish into the big fishing net, Ji Beibei didn't care about her image and sat down on the ground.
"I finished all the exercise I've done this year ahead of schedule today. I'm so tired, my arms are shaking all the time. Soft Baby, are you tired?"
"Not bad." Ruan Qi climbed ashore, threw the empty bamboo basket on the ground, picked up the mineral water next to her and drank half a bottle in one gulp. "I'm not very tired, but I'm a little sunburned. Sister Beibei, have some water."
Ruan Qi handed over Ji Beibei's mineral water.
Ji Beibei thanked him, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the whole bottle.
After drinking the water, the two took a few breaths and finally recovered.
"I don't know what happened to the others. How much can we get for these fish? It must be worth a hundred yuan, right?" Ji Beibei lifted the big fishing net full of fish. It was so heavy that she couldn't lift it at all.
Ruan Qi walked over and picked up some fish, saying, "There are at least 140 to 150 kilograms of fish here. Converted into money, it would probably be over 100 yuan."
Ji Beibei's eyes immediately lit up.
"Great! We finally have money! Hurry, hurry, let's go back and have the production team weigh us and exchange us for money!"
Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei definitely couldn't carry so many fish. Ruan Qi could move them, but for a young girl like her, carrying 145 kilograms was a bit shocking. To avoid being accused of being inhumane, she humbly called the program director and asked him to send someone to move the fish.
The staff of the program team soon drove over in a small truck.
When the two staff members saw the full fishing net of fish, their eyes almost fell to the ground.
Everyone worked together to move the fish onto the truck and drove back to the cottage.
In the yard of the small villa, all the members of the program crew were guarding the door.
As soon as the truck stopped, the host Xiao Yuan and the director came over.
"Oh my god, you guys caught so many fish!" Xiao Yuan's eyes widened in shock when he saw the truckload of fish. "That's amazing! You two are amazing!"
Ji Beibei jumped down from the car and smiled triumphantly, "This was all scooped up by Ruanbao alone. I was just helping out. Ruanbao is the best!"
Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Sister Beibei worked very hard carrying the fish baskets back and forth. The fact that these fish were brought back is a joint effort of both of us."
Ji Beibei gave an embarrassed laugh and couldn't wait to urge the production team: "Quick, quick, where's the scale? Weigh how many kilograms these fish are!"
The program team had already prepared an electronic scale.
Everyone moved all the fish over, and after weighing them, they finally came up with the data:
One hundred and eighty-six kilograms!
Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei caught 186 kilograms of fish in two hours!
When Ji Beibei heard this number, she was stunned for two seconds, and then let out a sharp explosion.
"Ahhhhhhhhh! One hundred and eighty-six kilograms! Soft Baby! We actually caught one hundred and eighty-six kilograms! Oh my God! I've never seen so many fish in my life! Soft Baby, you are my God! Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Not only Ji Beibei was excited, but everyone else was also very excited.
The host Xiao Yuan looked at the numbers on the electronic scale in disbelief. After he came to his senses, he screamed along with Ji Beibei.
The comments in the live broadcast room were also screaming wildly.
[Oh my god! Who in my family can believe this? Two little girls caught 180 kilograms of fish!]
【Ruan Qi is awesome! 】
If I hadn't seen Ruan Qi fish these numbers myself, I'd have thought the production team was faking it. It's incredible, truly incredible!
Each fish in that pond weighs five or six kilograms. Ruan Qi is fast at catching fish, so catching 180 kilograms in two hours is normal. Let alone 180 kilograms, I'd believe Ruan Qi could catch 1,800 kilograms!
The program crew didn't expect that Ruan Qi and Ji Beibei would catch nearly 200 kilograms.
The reason they designed this segment is that celebrities rarely do farm work, and it would definitely be interesting and funny if they did it occasionally.
But God knows, there would be such a bug as Ruan Qi among the guests!
I caught 180 kilograms of fish in two hours. Are you making a nest?!
The director of the program was dumbfounded, staring at the numbers on the electronic scale with his eyes wide open.
Ji Beibei and Ruan Qi have already started calculating how much money one hundred and eighty-six kilograms of fish can be exchanged for.
"The program stipulated that fish should be sold for three yuan per kilogram. One hundred and eighty-six catties equals 93 kilograms, and multiplying that by three is... two hundred and seventy-nine yuan?" Ji Beibei pinched her fingers, her eyes slowly widening. "Ruanbao, we made two hundred and seventy-nine yuan?!"
Ruan Qi had already figured it out in her mind. She looked at Ji Beibei, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, we made a huge profit of two hundred and eighty yuan."
After receiving Ruan Qi's affirmation, Ji Beibei was stunned for a second, and then made another sharp explosion.
"Ahhhhhhhhh! Two hundred and eighty yuan! We actually made two hundred and eighty yuan!" She excitedly hugged Ruan Qi tightly, then quickly ran to the director, stretched out her hands, and urged impatiently, "Hurry, hurry, director, give me the money! Two hundred and seventy-nine yuan, not a penny less!"
director:"……"
Ji Beibei was like, "If you don't pay me, I'll eat you alive." The director was silent for two seconds, then reluctantly took out some banknotes from his pocket.
Ji Beibei took the huge sum of 279 yuan and excitedly ran back to Ruan Qi with the money in her hands.
"Ruanbao, we have money! We'll give it all to you, and you can manage it!"
If Ji Beibei had previously only approached Ruan Qi because she thought she was a nice person, now she had completely become Ruan Qi's little fangirl.
She held the money in front of Ruan Qi with both hands, her eyes sparkling.
Ruan Qi took the money and said to Ji Beibei with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Beibei. You take a break first. I'll go see how Jiujiu is doing."
There was no need to worry about Ge Meilanlan. Bathing a pig was just a bit tiring, but it didn't require much skill. But transplanting rice seedlings wasn't something everyone could do. Ruan Qi was worried Xi Jiu wouldn't be able to adapt, so she wanted to go over and check on him.
Ji Beibei was also thinking about Si Lin, so she didn't rest and went to the fields with Ruan Qi.
The rice planting area was behind the small villa. After walking for a while, they saw vast expanses of paddy fields.
It was rice planting season, and many villagers were busy cultivating their fields. Most of them used machines, which moved quickly. Only the paddy fields in the center were bare, devoid of any machinery. Four handsome, muddy men stood in the water, sighing over the fields.
Here we come!
I had something to do yesterday and didn’t have time to update, so I’ll make it a little longer today.
Happy Lantern Festival everyone. What kind of fillings do you like to eat in glutinous rice balls?
