First update
When the results of the competition came out, Xu Lu was furious. He left the audience with a rage. He felt that everyone was laughing at him. Their drama was not rated high. Not to mention the top three, they couldn't even get fifth place.
This is not a problem with their actors, but Jiahui's script is bad.
“I felt that the script was a bit boring before.”
"It's too formal, and has no characteristics."
“It looks amazing, but it doesn’t scratch the itch.”
Xu Lu was filled with resentment and blamed himself for being fooled by Jiahui. If he had known this earlier, he would not have acted out this kind of thing - before he even reached his dormitory, a large group of people had already gathered at the door.
Xu Lu walked over without knowing why, but he saw the security captain of the cultural center holding the laxatives he bought, and a pharmacy clerk next to him.
A bolt of lightning struck his head, and Xu Lu's face turned pale.
"Xu Lu, I now suspect that you deliberately gave Tang Runjie laxatives to disrupt the game."
The criminal was caught red-handed. No matter how much Xu Lu argued, he couldn't explain why he bought laxatives and why he gave food mixed with laxatives to Tang Runjie, and why it happened to be on the day of the competition...
People who came to watch the fun began to look at Xu Lu with strange eyes.
"He looks handsome, but I didn't expect him to be so mean."
"He's so greasy. I knew he was just acting. He's not a good guy."
"Hypocritical, not like a good person."
"Xiao Tang was sent to the hospital. He almost caused a death."
"Isn't it just a competition? Is it that serious?"
…
Xu Lu looked panicked. His image, no, he couldn't let his image be destroyed. "It's none of my business. I was forced to do it. Jiahui was jealous of the good scripts written by Qin Yao, so she asked me to drug Tang Runjie. Tang Runjie and I are good friends, and I couldn't do it at all. But Jiahui begged me... I couldn't bear it at the moment, so I agreed to her."
"I really don't want to do this. It's all because of Jiahui. Jiahui wants to win the award!"
Xu Lu had no psychological burden and directly betrayed Jiahui and gave Jiahui up. When Jiahui came, she looked at him with hatred.
"I didn't ask you to do this. You were jealous of Tang Runjie and were afraid that he would steal your limelight by playing the role of a police officer."
"Bah, you're afraid that Qin Yao's drama will win an award."
…
The two started biting each other and eventually got punished.
Qin Yao did not see this farce with her own eyes, but she could imagine that it was she who used her X-ray vision to discover where Xu Lu hid the laxatives, and she contacted the security captain. Tang Runjie was sent to the hospital, and the leaders of the cultural center would definitely investigate and deal with this matter severely.
Giving drugs to your colleagues is no small matter and has a huge impact. If this is not dealt with seriously, will you drug your competitors in future competitions?
If you do something wrong, you will be punished.
Before going home, Qin Yao conscripted young men and took Gu Cheng to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden of the cultural center. Now each unit has its own vegetable garden and orchard and is self-sufficient. Qin Yao also has a small vegetable garden behind the cultural center.
In addition, the unit also has a large sweet potato field, which is planted collectively. By the end of the year, each person can get at least 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are a particularly easy crop to grow, especially on an island like this. Basically, you will never starve, and the planting method is also very rough. After the sweet potatoes are planted, except for burying the base fertilizer in the early stage and turning them over from time to time later, there is basically no need to worry about it, just wait for the harvest. One acre of land can produce at least 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
The most commonly planted fruits and vegetables in vegetable gardens now are those that are easy to grow and not prone to attracting insects, such as pumpkin, water melon, eight-angled melon, taro, and chayote... Pumpkin and water melon are especially common. These two giants, the water melon, can soar into the sky if its seeds are thrown into the ground and left alone, and the melons will grow densely.
Pumpkins also grow well. Not only the pumpkins themselves, but also the pumpkin vines and pumpkin flowers are good ingredients.
Qin Yao took Gu Cheng to the fields to pick a lot of fresh pumpkin vines and pumpkin flowers. She loved eating this stuff and could simply make a soup without any seasoning. The ingredients themselves had a fresh fragrance.
The same goes for star-nosed melon. Add some pork and minced garlic and you can cook a fragrant star-nosed melon soup.
The water melon doesn’t taste good - Qin Yao doesn’t like it, but it grows well and has a high yield.
"Is that enough? Do you want more pumpkins?" Gu Cheng was a little worried when he saw Qin Yao picked so many pumpkin vines and pumpkin flowers. Captain Gu really didn't know what was so delicious about these things?
Pumpkin vines taste like grass, and pumpkin flowers are not delicious either, but Qin Yao and the other women love to eat them.
He is different from his wife. He likes to eat pumpkin more. Note, it is the "melon" itself, not the leaves.
"Take a few." The pumpkins grown at this time were not big, but they were more delicious than any pumpkin Qin Yao had eaten in the future, and very pink.
The tomatoes at this time are the same, with a strong fruity flavor, unlike later tomatoes, which are hard, not sour, and have no taste.
Qin Yao asked Gu Cheng to hold the fruits and vegetables and hung them all over his body. The pumpkin vines were not for her to eat herself, but Qin Yao also planned to give some to Baozhen and some neighbors.
He Lian looked at Captain Gu, who was covered in fruits and vegetables, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he took the initiative to say, "Captain Gu, I'll take it."
"No need." Gu Cheng took the things and put them in the car first. There was a car parked in an open space not far from the cultural center.
Xiao Ding, who was driving for him in the transport company, was waiting under the tree and would take them to the family compound later.
Qin Yao patted the fluff off her hands, but still felt prickly and uncomfortable, so she went to the faucet to wash her hands.
Pumpkin vines are all like this, covered with white fluff.
"Xiao Qin, is your husband the one playing the police officer on stage today?" A middle-aged woman spoke to Qin Yao. She was Aunt Zhou, who was in charge of the warehouse.
"Yes, Aunt Zhou." Qin Yao nodded and smiled.
"That's great, a perfect match between you and me." Aunt Zhou sighed and thought to herself, Xiao Qin's husband is handsome, but he doesn't look like someone he's going to mess with. He can only be admired from afar and not touched.
"Xiao Qin, you are asking your brother about jobs, right? I have some news. Do you think it's suitable? I know a man who works as a chef in a commune restaurant. He can't handle it anymore. I want to sell him the job for 800 yuan. Do you think you are willing to take it?"
At this time, jobs can be passed down from father to son, exchanged with outsiders, or "sold" privately, and the management is not very strict.
Eight hundred yuan for a seat is not cheap, but this is a seat in a state-owned restaurant, so if you calculate it carefully, it is not a loss.
Aunt Zhou blinked her eyes and said, "Xiao Qin, if you miss this village, you will miss this store."
She tried her best to hide her guilty conscience in her tone. She wanted to make this happen. Eight hundred dollars to buy a chef position was not a loss if you calculated it carefully. However, on this island, "there is no demand for it" and it would be difficult to sell it.
If you really have 800 yuan, why not buy a job like that? Come here to buy a chef's position? Not everyone can afford the hardship and still needs to hone their skills.
He can afford the hardship and is greedy for the benefits of being a restaurant chef, but his family doesn't have the money to buy this position.
This chef is her relative. He is old and had been ill before. He can no longer lift pots or use spoons. Now his son is getting married and needs to build a house and pay for the bride price... So she came up with an idea to quit her job early and sell it to get money for her son to build a house and get married.
His son has a job and does not need to follow in his father's footsteps. This is also a good opportunity for him to retire from his job and make some money so that he can enjoy a peaceful life and take care of his grandchildren in the future.
It’s not that there are no other people who want to buy it, but they can only offer two or three hundred at most at one time. Even if they can offer eight hundred, they say that the money has to be paid back slowly over the next few years... How can this be possible? If you wait a few more years, the day lily will be cold.
There are also those who say they want to worship him as their godfather, become his godson, and learn a craft from him, and swear to give him enough money in the future - bah, buying on credit and wanting to learn his craft at the same time, what a pipe dream.
After hearing his difficulties, Aunt Zhou thought of Qin Yao at work. She was looking for a job for her brother. She had such good conditions, her hometown was a big city, her parents both had jobs, her husband also had a job...she must be able to afford it.
Chef Zhang’s lowest price in mind is 500 yuan, but he wants it to be paid in one go and does not accept credit.
"I'll go home and talk to my brother about it and let him think about it." Qin Yao was delighted and thought this was a great opportunity. Eight hundred yuan was worth it to her, like a pie in the sky, but she didn't get happy too soon. Things that appear good may hide other disadvantages.
Things might not be accomplished, and Qin Yao did not agree to it in time, for fear that if she agreed too easily, it would appear that she was too eager, and she would be asked to pay too high a price and suffer a heavy loss.
"Then you better hurry up and tell me. Opportunities don't wait for anyone. Don't miss it."
Qin Yao nodded. She took a bottle of water and walked towards the gate of the cultural center. She ran into Gu Cheng who was looking for her. She poured water for him to wash his hands. "It's all hair."
Gu Cheng said unhappily: "You also know that they are all hair..."
There are so many pumpkin vines, and the fluff will fall off if you shake them, and they will prick your hands, not to mention that you have to peel off the outer skin when you get home.
The two got in the car and returned to the family compound. Qin Yao invited He Lian to have dinner at home, but he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, no, I have something else to do."
Qin Yao went into the house, took out some candy for them, and sent them out.
Gu Cheng returned home, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to hug the two chubby little guys whom he hadn't seen for a long time. "These two little guys are so chubby. If I had known earlier, one should have been called Pangpang and the other Dundun."
"Are you proud that your son went out with the name Dun Dun?" Qin Yao picked up her youngest son Mingming and couldn't help laughing when she looked at his chubby face that looked like Gu Cheng.
This kid is really fat, his face is much fatter than his dad's. He holds his hands together, looking simple and honest, but his small black eyes move around, clearly hiding some ulterior motives.
Compared with him, his elder brother Ruirui has beautiful facial features, strong impact, and looks quite "domineering", but he is bullied by his younger brother.
The two of them cannot breastfeed at the same time. Little Mingming is very cunning. He is eating well, but he suspects that his brother next to him is eating better, so he moves his little face over to grab his brother's seat.
Ruirui, on the other hand, is good-tempered and indulgent towards his younger brother.
"Try calling their names. They'll respond."
"Really?" Gu Cheng asked tentatively: "Rui Rui?"
Rarity: “Huh?”
Mingming opened his mouth: "Ah ...
Gu Cheng frowned: "Mingming? Mingming?"
Rarity: "Ah!"
Mingming: “Ahhhh wow——”
Qin Yao: “…”
Because these two kids are often together, it is difficult to tell which one is their name, and they both have corresponding names.
Gu Cheng continued: "Yaoyao, Qinyao?"
Rarity responded positively: "Aa ...
Mingming responded positively: “Hey aa ...
Qin Yao: “…”
