Chapter 8 Chapter 008 It's said to be full of humanity...
Nan Fei's tone was filled with resentment, and everyone felt a little awkward for a moment, fearing that the two would have some conflict. However, Yan Nanxing was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and responded, "What can I do if I'm unlucky? You can only be with me."
The teasing tone was slightly coquettish, which warmed up the atmosphere just right.
Nan Fei looked at him, pursed her lips, and said no more.
Tao Xi looked left and right, and suddenly covered his mouth with his fist.
The atmosphere between the two of them... seems a bit awkward.
The group game is over, and everyone follows the staff's instructions, splitting into three groups and each carrying out today's task.
It seems that the mission site of Yan Nanxing and Nan Fei's group is actually the closest to Taoyuan Cottage. Under the guidance of the staff, they reached their destination in just five minutes.
As soon as you leave the cottage, you can see a large field in front of you.
The farmer to whom this field belongs lives nearby. According to the task introduction, it is the sowing season soon. The farmer's field is too large and he is in urgent need of manpower, so he asked people from Taoyuan Xiaozhu to help.
The director picked up the microphone and said, "Today, you need to complete the task of planting two baskets of rice seedlings and clock in back to the cottage before five o'clock. Only then will your mission be considered a success."
Looking at the two large frames of seedlings in front of him, Nan Fei was a little skeptical whether he could really finish them in one day.
After the formalities, the farmer went to the fields to demonstrate to the two how to plant rice seedlings.
The elder brother's Mandarin was mixed with a thick accent, which was not easy to understand. Also, because the camera equipment on the side was a little nervous, he spoke haltingly. Nan Fei didn't understand most of it, but was embarrassed to interrupt, so he could only try his best to stare at the farmer's hands.
As he was talking, he stopped, probably because the demonstration was over. At this time, the eldest brother had already planted half a row of seedlings and waved to the two of them to go to the field to try it out.
Yan Nanxing suddenly said, "I'm sorry, big brother. I didn't quite understand it just now. Can you plant two more?"
The farmer agreed readily, and fearing that they couldn't see clearly, he demonstrated it several times and repeated the question twice, asking the two whether they understood it.
Nan Fei was the first to go to the field. He concentrated on holding the seedlings in his hand, staring at the position, and planted a seedling while recalling the farmers' actions.
As soon as he let go, the seedling fell down.
Yan Nanxing stood on the bank and laughed at him: "You're so smart, you can plant rice after watching it so many times."
Nan Fei pursed her lips and ignored him.
Yan Nanxing stopped teasing. He took off the hairband on his wrist, tied his long hair into a tight bun, covered it with a straw hat, and after making sure it would not loosen, he rolled up his trouser legs and followed him down to the field.
Yan Nanxing's hands were steady and his movements were very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had planted a stable seedling. After completing this series of actions, he called out to Nan Fei, drawing her attention: "Nan Fei, look at mine."
Nan Fei was completely defenseless and was shown off by the other party.
Yan Nanxing seemed to “not notice” his displeasure and continued to tease him: “Do you want me to teach you?”
Nan Fei didn't say anything, but the seedling that had just been inserted in his hand became crooked again.
It’s so annoying. My desire to win has been aroused.
Nan Fei was furious and yelled for the second time today, "What? You're studying Chinese medicine and you're also teaching about rice planting?"
"Well, I really can't teach you that. It just so happens that I've been going up and down the mountain and into the fields so much that I know a little bit about everything." Yan Nanxing said as he slowly walked over. "Don't be so stubborn. After all, this is our mission together. I don't want to fail because of delays in the mission."
Nan Fei didn't respond, but just moved aside to make some space for Yan Nanxing when he came over.
"Do you know why your planting is always crooked? It's because your center of gravity is not in the right place." Yan Nanxing asked Nan Fei to grab the root of a seedling and covered the back of his hand. "You were just watching the movements and postures, so you didn't notice. The key to transplanting rice seedlings is to find the right position and plant the roots tightly. It has to be fast and precise, not just relying on brute force."
Yan Nanxing held his hand and landed steadily, then quickly let go, his words becoming more serious: "Do you understand the feeling?"
Nan Fei was a little sensitive and irritated at first because of the people approaching and the sounds in her ears, but seeing that Yan Nanxing was concentrating on teaching without being distracted, she changed her mind and started planting the seedlings seriously.
Under Yan Nanxing's hands-on guidance, Nan Fei finally succeeded in planting a perfect seedling on his own.
"Success." Nan Fei was stunned at first, then murmured unsurely, "I succeeded?"
He was a little excited, and a smile flashed across his face. Although it was not obvious, his eyes were very clear and anyone could see his happiness.
Yan Nanxing couldn't help but sigh because of this.
He is usually very quiet and can't make a sound even if you hit him with a stick. It turns out that he is just an emotional kid in his early twenties.
Yan Nanxing licked her lips and thought that maybe she should find some recordings of Nan Fei's concerts when she got back.
Having learned the techniques, the two's work efficiency immediately improved. However, the workload of transplanting two baskets of seedlings was indeed too heavy. They even ate the lunch brought by the farmer in a hurry. As soon as they finished, the two continued to devote themselves to the rice planting project.
After rushing around, they finally finished the work around four in the afternoon, a little earlier than expected. Yan Nanxing then took the initiative to ask the farmer for some more seedlings, hoping to fill the remaining space in the field.
The farmer was reluctant at first, but Yan Nanxing was very firm: "Recording the program has already delayed your harvest this season. Thank you for your cooperation. Besides, it's still early before we go back, so why not do a little more?"
The eldest brother couldn't persuade him, so he had to let him go.
Nan Fei was somewhat puzzled by Yan Nanxing's inexplicable enthusiasm. Taking advantage of the break between filming spots on the ridge, she stopped him and asked, "The production team dared to let us do this, because they've already paid the farmers enough to let them give up their crops. You still want to find work for yourself?"
"Yeah, just think of me as someone who's free." Yan Nanxing gave him a sly smile, "It's okay, I can finish it in half an hour by myself, so I won't bother you."
Yan Nanxing continued to go to the field with the pile of seedlings in his arms. For some reason, the wind suddenly blew up and his movements in the field were a little unstable. In order to prevent the seedlings in his arms from being blown away, Yan Nanxing was not careful enough and accidentally fell down. His straw hat fell directly into the mud in the field, and his tightly tied hair fell down, with mud spots splashing everywhere.
Realizing that his hair was dirty, Yan Nanxing immediately ignored everything else and got angry.
Nan Fei naturally saw everything clearly. Seeing Yan Nanxing stand up again and not move, she felt a little puzzled. Torn between letting him go and not wanting to do it, Nan Fei sighed in frustration and got back to the ground.
The hair tie also fell into the mud. Yan Nanxing was full of resentment but couldn't vent it. As he watched Nan Fei approaching, his good mood disappeared in an instant. He closed his lips and said nothing.
When Nan Fei saw how miserable he was, she did not laugh at him like Yan Nanxing had done before. Instead, she just grabbed his long hair while Yan Nanxing looked shocked and resistant.
Yan Nanxing felt as if his lifeblood had been seized: "What are you doing?!"
The next moment, the newly gathered hair was tucked into the new straw hat.
Nan Fei took off his hat and helped Yan Nanxing: "You can make do with this for now, and you can wash your hair when you are done."
Yan Nanxing shut his mouth and didn't say anything about the mud spots that were rolled in with him, which also made him feel uncomfortable.
Then he saw Nan Fei slowly picking up the scattered seedlings with his clean hands, and immediately understood what he was going to do.
"It's only four o'clock now, and the sun will be shining for at least another hour. Are you planning to plant rice like this?"
Nan Fei sighed slightly. If Yan Nanxing hadn't insisted on making trouble, they would have been on their way back. But now he had the nerve to come back and talk about him.
But Nan Fei was too lazy to argue with him in detail. After picking up the last seedling and holding it in his arms, he raised his head and said, "Is this your reward for teaching me how to plant rice?"
Yan Nanxing curled her lips slightly, and for the first time ever, she wasn't so bothered by her dirty hair.
But in the end, Nan Fei was not left to do it alone. After all, it was already dirty, and the situation would not get any worse. In the end, the two of them finished the final work together and reported to the owner.
The farmer was sincerely grateful to the two people. When he heard that they were going to be filming a program, he had already prepared to clean up the land and plant seedlings again. As a result, the two people not only planted the land well, but also did it very well. It was like collecting money for help. Anyone would be smiling.
When giving the two badges for completing their mission, the farmer also stuffed them with a lot of vegetables and meat: "I see there are so many of you, and filming the show is hard work, you must eat well!"
The things given were a bit too much. The two of them declined several times but failed. Finally, they rejected part of it on the grounds that there were too many things to take away. However, the farmer still felt that it was not enough and insisted that they accept his kindness no matter what.
Afraid that he would continue to send vegetables and meat, Yan Nanxing interrupted and said, "Brother, we are indeed short of something. Do you have any flour?"
The farmer patted his chest and said, "Flour! We have plenty!"
Nan Fei was a little confused about what Yan Nanxing wanted the flour for, but since he could stop his elder brother from expressing his good intentions, he didn't ask any more questions.
The two returned to Taoyuan Cottage with a bunch of spoils, but because of their delay, they became the last group to return.
"You two are finally back. It's ten minutes past five. According to the rules we announced this morning..."
The director seemed to want to use their ten-minute lateness as an excuse to cancel the mission reward, but Yan Nanxing suddenly interrupted: "Director sister, do you remember why we were more than ten minutes late this morning? Was the breakfast made by Teacher Cen and Xiao Shen delicious?"
The director remained calm and said, "Congratulations to all three teams for successfully completing today's mission. Each team will be rewarded with 500 yuan."
The guests couldn't hold back their laughter, and just as the atmosphere relaxed a little, the director continued, "I believe you all know that you have to work hard to make a living, so tonight's dinner will be made from the ingredients you brought back."
The director also reminded: "If you find any other ingredients, your funds will be deducted."
"Besides that, because everyone has their own tasks during the day, we've chosen to hold today's livestream at 8pm. There's no theme for this livestream, so it's entirely up to everyone to express themselves."
The joy of the six people did not last long before it slowly disappeared silently.
The already poor life became even worse.
Where is the pastoral life full of humanity?
Damn it, I really want to call the police and arrest the production team.
