☆、Chapter 131 Baby
When Lu Yuxuan came out, everyone was already in the yard, having chosen the tools they needed and gathered together.
Seeing this, Lu Yuxuan didn't ask for help from others. She went to the wall to get a tool and got on the farm vehicle with everyone.
The farm vehicle is the means of transportation assigned to the host by the program team. It is a four-wheeled vehicle with a small carriage, which is a bit bumpy when running. The carriage at the back is pulling a lot of seedlings, a lush green patch. Wen Mianyu and others are sitting in the middle.
The person driving in front is Liu Jie. He learned to drive a four-wheel vehicle after recording the show, and he drives quite well.
"Is this your first time riding in this kind of car?" Liu Jie chatted with everyone while driving.
"This is not my first time riding in one. I rode in this kind of car with my grandfather when I was a child." Wen Mianyu was the first to answer.
She had a good relationship with Liu Jie in her previous life. Now that she was reborn, although Liu Jie didn't know her, she treated Liu Jie the same as before.
"I've never sat on it." Chenzui said.
"I haven't ridden one either. My hometown is in the mountains with very few plains. Farming is done with oxen, so there's no need for this kind of four-wheeled vehicle." Luo Zhifan also answered.
"I know from Congxu that there is no such person. What about Yuxuan?" Liu Jie turned his head.
Lu Yuxuan sat beside the car, her hand on her chin, lost in thought. After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment before saying, "No."
"It seems that only Jasmine has experience. It's really unexpected. It seems that Jasmine will be the one who does the most rice planting later." Liu Jie sighed.
"Not necessarily." Luo Zhifan took over. "Although we don't grow rice paddies over there, I grew up doing farm work. This kind of work is easy to learn by analogy. I might lag behind a little at first, but I'll be very fast once I get the hang of it."
"Zhifan is so hardworking. Well, let's see who is better between you and Jasmine." Liu Jie said.
…
Facts have proved that Luo Zhifan is stronger than Wen Mianyu in terms of both physical strength and proficiency.
After arriving at the rice field, Liu Jie personally went into the field to demonstrate, and then asked everyone to learn how to plant rice together.
Wen Mianyu was experienced. He grabbed a handful of rice seedlings and planted them in a straight line in a few strokes.
Luo Zhifan learned by analogy and got better and better after inserting a row, inserting quickly and straightly.
Although Lu Congxu had no experience, he learned things quickly. He was not picky and was not afraid of getting dirty, so he dared to start working. It didn't take long for him to learn.
Only Chenzui and Lu Yuxuan were a bit mysophobic and insisted on wearing gloves when planting rice.
But this is very inappropriate. It is difficult to control the depth after putting on the gloves, and the two people have no experience. Often, before the end of a row of seedlings is planted, the ones in front have already fallen.
I have to go back and reinsert it.
When Wen Mianyu and the others had planted the fifth and seventh rows respectively, Chenzui and Lu Yuxuan were still struggling in the first row, which made Chenzui, who was already impatient, even more irritable. Seeing that the seedlings in his hands were wilting, he couldn't help but call Luo Zhifan.
"Luo Zhifan, can't you help me!"
As soon as Luo Zhifan got off the ground, he felt like he was back in his childhood. He was having fun, but when he turned around after hearing what was said, he saw Chenzui standing there with a sullen look on his face.
He accidentally got a lot of mud spots on his body, and there were two on his face. He probably forgot about planting rice and his gloves accidentally rubbed against them.
Luo Zhifan had never seen Shen Zui so embarrassed before, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Shen, how did you do this?"
He washed his hands in the field, stood up and walked over, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wanted to help Chenzui wipe the mud off his face.
The distance suddenly shortened, and Chenzui was unable to react and subconsciously dodged backwards.
"Don't move." Luo Zhifan held his shoulders and wiped his face. "There's mud on your face."
"What? Where?" Chenzui had no mind to think about anything else when he heard it. He took out his mobile phone and took a picture of his face.
Luo Zhifan looked at him and thought he was very cute. He said, "I have wiped it off."
"Oh." Chen Zui was obviously relieved, but on the surface he still pretended not to care. "You thrust in so fast, you just thrust in there, and you don't even come to teach me."
"I haven't done farm work for several years. Suddenly starting to do it feels like I'm back in my childhood. I was so engrossed in it that I almost forgot about it." Luo Zhifan smiled and took the remaining seedlings from Chen Zui's hand. "Actually, planting this is very simple. Come, I'll teach you."
…
On the other side, Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu also gathered together to teach the same thing.
Wen Mianyu saw that Lu Congxu's seedlings were not planted straight, so he came over to help.
"You have to do it like this: push it in quickly and forcefully, then step back and push it in again. Then step back again and push it in again. This way, the seedlings will be very straight, and the distance between each one will be the same." Wen Mianyu bent down to demonstrate several times, then returned the seedlings to Lu Congxu, "Try it."
"Thank you, teacher." Lu Congxu smiled.
Wen Mianyu blushed a little when he called her seriously, "You're welcome, you can try it."
Lu Congxu took the seedlings and started to try.
He has always been a quick learner, and Wen Mianyu's guidance was very professional. He found the feel for it in no time and planted a row of straight and even seedlings.
"The boy is teachable." Wen Mianyu nodded with satisfaction.
"Teacher's teaching is still good." Lu Congxu stood up straight.
"Sister Jasmine, can you teach me?" Lu Yuxuan came over with a handful of seedlings in her hand.
She and Wen Mianyu had just had an argument in the room, and the last few words were extremely unpleasant, which was enough to tear their relationship apart.
But as they were both actors and were recording a show, Lu Yuxuan immediately acted as if nothing had happened and spoke to Wen Mianyu.
Wen Mianyu certainly wouldn't give her a hard time for this, and replied with a kind smile, "Okay, come over here, we'll go learn over there. The rice planting hasn't started yet."
"Thank you, Sister Jasmine." Lu Yuxuan said politely.
"You're welcome." Wen Mianyu said.
The two of them looked like sisters on a blind date, and if you didn't know them, you would think they were very close.
No matter how nice the words were, they couldn't hide the fake smiles on their faces.
However, when Wen Mianyu was teaching, Lu Yuxuan was watching carefully. The reason was simple: she didn't want to fall behind others.
Especially Wen Mianyu, whom she regarded as her mortal enemy.
"Okay, that's it. Have you learned it?" Wen Mianyu finished demonstrating and stood up.
Lu Yuxuan shook off the muddy water on her gloves and said, "I got it. Thank you, Sister Jasmine."
"You're welcome." Wen Mianyu said, "But I suggest you don't wear gloves. It's hard to control the depth and distance when you have something on your hands. If your gloves were thin, it would be fine, but such thick gloves are not suitable."
Next to him, Chen Zui, who was taught by Luo Zhifan, had already taken off his gloves and was wandering in the mud and water, moving in and out of the soil despite his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The two sides were not far apart. Seeing this, Lu Yuxuan could no longer hold on and had to take off her gloves.
She carefully summed up her experience, walked over, and put her hand into the water while suppressing her nausea.
When they were about to touch the muddy water, Lu Yuxuan pulled her hand back, unable to bear it any longer. "No, this is too dirty."
"What's so dirty about this? It's just some mud. No one usually comes to the rice fields, and the fish raised in them are quite delicious." Wen Mianyu said.
"But..." Lu Yuxuan was still hesitant.
"I've plugged it in here, let's go over there." Lu Congxu came over and interrupted their conversation.
He went there because of what Wen Mianyu said, and Lu Yuxuan had nothing to do with it. Lu Yuxuan looked at him and felt sour and jealous.
"Take your time, Yuxuan. Let's go do something else first." Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu left together.
Lu Yuxuan looked at the two men's backs and bit her lower lip tightly. If there were no cameras around, she would have thrown away the seedlings in her hand.
…
The group worked until the evening before finishing their work.
When the settlement was done, Luo Zhifan had the most seedlings and was unanimously elected as the first. Wen Mianyu had the second most, Chenzui was third, Lu Congxu was fourth, and the last place was, as expected, Lu Yuxuan.
When the host announced the result, Lu Yuxuan's face looked unhappy, but in front of the camera, she tried her best to endure it.
The dinner ingredients were distributed according to each person's rice planting performance. Luo Zhifan took the most and Lu Yuxuan took the least.
And when playing games tomorrow, you will be ranked according to your scores, and the higher your score, the more priority you will have.
Lu Yuxuan didn't care how much she ate or took, she only cared about being worse than Wen Mianyu. No matter what she was comparing, she didn't want Lu Congxu to think that she was not as good as Wen Mianyu.
On the way back, Lu Yuxuan didn't say a word, and she didn't look as happy as when she came in the morning.
Even the usually nonchalant Chen Ning sensed something was amiss. While Liu Jie was in the restroom, she chased him over, turned off the microphone, and asked, "Brother Liu, why does Yuxuan seem a little down? Did anyone provoke her? It seems we haven't neglected her, have we?"
Because of Lu Congxu, Chen Ning was very caring towards Lu Yuxuan. She often deliberately guided the topic and gave her more opportunities to appear on camera.
Liu Jie also noticed this problem and comforted her, "It has nothing to do with us. You've done a good job. Maybe she's new to the countryside and isn't used to the climate there."
"Should I get her some gastrointestinal medicine or something?" Chen Ning asked.
"No need. I'll talk to Congxu later and ask him first." Liu Jie said.
"Okay." Chen Ning felt relieved.
Although there are two hosts in the show, Liu Jie is the backbone of the show, and he is also the one who solves any problems.
…
While cooking dinner, everyone divided the work and worked together. Lu Congxu was washing vegetables in the yard. Liu Jie saw that there was no one around, so he winked at Lu Congxu and said, "Congxu, let's go to the stream to wash the vegetables. We can wash them more cleanly."
"Okay." Lu Congxu understood the hint, stood up and followed.
"You two don't need to follow us. We'll be back after we wash up and have a cigarette." Liu Jie said to the two cameramen who were following us.
The two of them had been with the crew since the first season and listened to Liu Jie in everything. They turned off the cameras upon hearing his words.
Liu Jie and Lu Congxu each carried a basin and went to the stream.
"Brother Liu, do you have anything to say to me?" When they were halfway there, there were no staff members nearby. Lu Congxu turned off the radio and asked Liu Jie.
Liu Jie had already turned off the microphone and slowed down his pace upon hearing this. "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you, what's wrong with Yuxuan? She doesn't seem very happy."
"Although I am related to her, we are not very close, and we are not very familiar with each other, so I don't understand her thoughts." Lu Congxu said.
"Is that so..." Liu Jie said, "I was wondering if she had a conflict with someone. As her cousin, you should at least try to explain. Since you don't know, forget it. I'll ask her when I get back."
"I probably can't comfort her, but I will convey your message to her. Don't show any emotions on the show. As an artist, she must understand this." Lu Congxu said.
"Ah, you..." Liu Jie laughed, "How can you be so unkind to women? If she really has a reason to be unhappy, you can just comfort her. Why do you act like you want to scold her?"
"Coaxing someone is something that happens between boyfriends and girlfriends. She's not my biological sister, so I have no obligation to do that." Lu Congxu said with an indifferent look, "Besides, if I coax her, the person who should be coaxed will probably be unhappy."
"Oh..." Liu Jie sighed, "I have an unexpected gain. Boy, are you in love? Who is it with?"
He reached out and patted Lu Congxu's arm.
"Yeah." Lu Congxu nodded. When he mentioned love, his icy face melted like spring snow. "Who is it you just met? We were even recording a show together this afternoon."
"In the afternoon?" Liu Jie was completely stunned. "You mean... no way?"
"Yeah." Lu Congxu said.
"Is it really Su Moli?" Luo Zhifan and Shen Zui are both men, and Liu Jie really can't think of anyone else.
"Yeah." Lu Congxu said.
"You kid, why are you still eating grass in your own backyard!" Liu Jie couldn't help but pat him again, "Did you fall in love with someone because of the filming? You're so high-end! I thought you would never do this in your life!"
"No, it has nothing to do with acting. I've liked her for a long time." Lu Congxu said.
"Didn't you like Wen Mianyu a long time ago?" Liu Jie blurted out. After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and slapped his mouth. "Look at me, talking nonsense. Why bring up the past?"
Lu Congxu smiled but said nothing.
Of course he would not explain Wen Mianyu's true identity, there was nothing to say, otherwise it would only confuse Liu Jie.
"Just pretend I didn't say anything. Don't mind it. Being in love is good. People can't just have one relationship for their whole life. Looking at you now, I think it's good." Liu Jie was a little nervous after saying the wrong thing and started to speak incoherently.
Those who are familiar with him know that Wen Mianyu is Lu Congxu's minefield, and his words are like stepping on a landmine.
"It's okay, I know what you mean, I'm fine now." Lu Congxu said.
"That's good, then I'm relieved. Of the few people I have a good relationship with, you're the only one who hasn't gotten married yet." Liu Jie patted his shoulder, "If you think it's appropriate, get married quickly. Have a cute and beautiful baby and attract more people."
"Yeah." Lu Congxu curled the corners of his lips and felt that this suggestion was good from the bottom of his heart.
Give birth to a baby like him, or like Wen Mianyu.
…
After Liu Jie left, the others continued to prepare dinner, but there was a problem with the step of making a fire. Except for Liu Jie, no one present knew how to make a fire, not even Luo Zhifan, who grew up in the village.
But the meal still needed to be cooked, so Chen Ning asked the others, "Brother Jie is not here, and I don't know how to handle the firewood. Does anyone else know how to do this?"
"I can." Wen Mianyu, who was washing vegetables, raised her hand.
"Moli, you can do it?" Chen Ning was a little surprised.
You have to know that even Luo Zhifan, a master of farm work, doesn't know how to make a fire. Although he was born in a rural family, it was never his turn to cook because his sister's mother was at home.
