Su Nanxi was speechless and ran faster than a rabbit!
Was someone trying to take it from her or something?
Believe it or not, there really is!
Old Xu has been waiting for this for a long time, and he's been thinking about it for so long, he definitely won't let anyone else make the first move!
Oh no! Is it too late to stop them now?
It's too late! That girl has already run into the cornfield!
Su Nanxi looked around and, not finding Old Man Xu, felt a little relieved. He must be in the cornfield, not outside!
This old man doesn't usually go anywhere; he just takes care of his corn!
Sure enough, a dispute soon broke out. Who else could be arguing in the Mo family's cornfield?
After listening to the two arguing for a long time without either of them winning, Su Nanxi was at her wit's end!
It's just picking some corn! Is it really that big of a deal?
If we pick them, everyone can eat them, so it doesn't matter who picks them.
Does that mean it tastes better if only the person who picked it eats it?
On second thought, I can understand these two. Neither of them had ever picked them before; it was their first time. Hmm, they were really excited about it! They both wanted to try it out!
"Alright! Stop arguing! We can hear your loud voices all over the house!" Su Nanxi walked over. "What's there to argue about? Every part of this corn is valuable, not just the kernels, so there's no need to fight over it! How about this, half for each of us, is that fair? The rest of us won't participate!"
When Gao Yuling and Old Man Xu heard that corn was a treasure trove, their eyes lit up, thinking there was potential in it!
The two exchanged a glance, then both nodded. "Okay! No problem!"
Seeing that they were about to get started, Su Nanxi quickly called out, "Hey! I'm saying, could you two help pick the chilies first? Then you can pick the corn last, that way we'll keep the anticipation going for longer!"
"Okay! Let's pick the chili peppers!"
Nothing is impossible, as long as no one is competing with them for the corn!
Hurry up and finish picking the chili peppers, then go pick the corn!
He's motivated, passionate, and works incredibly fast—I've never seen him this quick before!
This startled everyone else; were these two having a chili-picking contest?
What are the prizes? They want to participate too!
"Su Su! I'm exhausted! Is this enough?" Gao Yuling was indeed exhausted; the sweat was so bad it almost hurt her eyes!
They're really going all out for corn!
Su Nanxi sighed, "Go!"
Just waiting for this sentence, Old Xu also ran towards the cornfield, picked up his empty basket, and ran like an old man!
Su Nanxi's mouth twitched. She'd been too hasty! She should have said she wouldn't run away!
The ground is uneven. If you don't see the road clearly, you might slip and fall flat on your face. That would be the least of your worries. What I'm afraid of is that Old Xu might twist his back or sprain his ankle!
Thankfully, what she feared didn't happen, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Su Nanxi agreed not to touch them and sat there waiting for them.
Old Xu treasured those corn cobs very much, carefully breaking them off one by one, as if afraid of hurting them!
Kao Yu-ling, on the other hand, is all about speed. She twists a stick with force, and the sound is so beautiful!
She kept pushing faster and faster until she realized that her basket couldn't hold it all!
Kao Yu-ling suddenly disliked the basket; it was too small and couldn't hold much!
Look! It can't hold many ears of corn!
Su Nanxi saw it, speechless, and casually threw it in. It was lying there haphazardly, not even in the air. How much could it hold?
However, she doesn't plan to tell Gao Yuling; she'll just enjoy the show!
"Susu, we can't finish picking them all, the pile is full! I'll come back to pick more tomorrow!"
Seeing that she couldn't fit it all in, Gao Yuling simply gave up trying.
Su Nanxi looked up at her and said, "Take a break!"
Gao Yuling didn't think much of it; she was tired anyway, so she decided to rest. Su Su really cared about her!
Sigh! Old Xu still hasn't come out. He's so slow!
When Old Man Xu came over, she saw the corn in his basket and realized why Su Su had told her to rest for a while!
The corn in Old Xu's basket was arranged very neatly!
They can be stacked vertically to form a basket without falling over!
And look at her, tsk, I can't even look at her!
Kao Yu-ling suddenly blushed; she had lost this time!
She just lacks experience; she'll get it later!
Su Nanxi didn't say much, worried that the weight would crush Old Man Xu, so she asked him if he needed help. Old Man Xu held onto the straps and refused Su Nanxi's offer!
Hmph! He picked it himself!
Hmm! It's a bit heavy, but he can still carry it back. Aren't there donkey carts by the main road? He can just put it on the cart!
Seeing this, Su Nanxi went along with him.
Sitting on the donkey cart, Old Xu appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside he was screaming!
OMG!
He overestimated his own abilities!
This corn didn't look very big, but it got heavier and heavier the more he carried it! It made his shoulders ache!
Alas! In the end, he underestimated his opponent!
He had boasted to the ugly girl before, and he couldn't let her have a chance to laugh at him. He had to grit his teeth and persevere!
Thankfully, it wasn't far! But he was exhausted!
But he didn't dare to even breathe loudly!
He was afraid that others would see through his act!
Su Nanxi pretended not to see it, giving him plenty of face.
Back at the Mo family home, everyone said they wanted to eat corn, so let's eat it while it's fresh!
Let's get creative!
Mo Wenying's hands were trembling as she peeled corn for the first time, clearly showing her excitement and surprise!
This looks so good, she doesn't want to peel it!
If she grew them too, that would be wonderful; she could definitely sell them for a good price!
Her four children also love it; it's sweet and fragrant, and it tastes great when juiced!
Visiting her parents' home really does make her gain weight. Look at her four children; their complexions are noticeably rosy, and their faces are starting to get fuller, making them look much cuter!
