Why does this seem so easy? It's just that there are a lot of people.
[There are a bit too many people. Upstairs, do you even know what's truly the hardest thing? It's having a limited space and more people than that space should have. After all, wherever there are people, there's a dynamic.]
【Huh?! Are we going to fight?!】
【No way! What are you thinking? These two courtyards have one public toilet and one kitchen. Resources are limited, and many places will definitely be eliminated. Just think, each room can't possibly house twenty people! How are they supposed to live there?!】
[Haha, they finally managed to squeeze in the fourteen-person bed in the main room, haha, all the single beds have been replaced with double bunk beds. I bet there will be triple beds too, I bet someone will still be filling out forms (*^▽^*) ]
Shen Jie looked at the next room and saw that the argument had ended. She felt that this gossip was almost unsatisfying. These people were so big, tsk tsk tsk, it's true that a well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man.
She looked at the three groups of people arguing again at the kitchen door, and thought, "This is not bad either."
Tang Wei lit the fire next to Shen Jie to prepare to cook. Her cooking skills were really bad. She was chosen to cook on the first day, not counting yesterday, since everyone worked together to finish it yesterday.
Tang Wei lit a fire and fanned the flames at the mud stove. Her eyes lit up as she looked towards the kitchen, and she gossiped with Shen Jie beside her, "They're arguing again?"
"That's right. It seems they agreed that the room would be used first, but one family, who drew the lottery too late yesterday, tried to cut in line. The people who were supposed to be in that room arrived a little late and saw that the stove was being used, so they questioned them. The family that cut in line said they only used it because there was no one else there, and that since they were late, they should be last, and that this was a reasonable time arrangement. That's how the argument started."
Tang Wei clicked her tongue in agreement. Sure enough, more people meant more trouble. "Then why does it look like there's still someone in another room?!"
"The people in the other room were next in line, but before the people in the other two rooms finished arguing, the people in this room thought it was their turn and told the people in the other two rooms to go argue in the side."
At this point, Shen Jie spread her hands, "So this is how it is now. I guess if we wait a while, we'll have to involve another room's worth of people."
Han Dong, who was working hard to light the stove in front of the main house, also heard Shen Jie and Tang Wei's conversation. He was really glad that he had applied for the stove yesterday. As for the others who saw it but didn't apply for the stove, he couldn't understand it.
Han Dong tried to light the fire, but it wouldn't ignite no matter what he did, which made him even more frustrated. He asked the others to draw lots, but no one did. As a result, seven people were drawn, and everyone started blaming him. Although they didn't criticize him directly, he felt from their earlier argument that they were all indirectly criticizing him.
If it weren't for the prize money, he would have withdrawn from the competition immediately.
"Hello, I have a question. How do I get this stove to light? Why isn't mine burning?"
Shen Jie and Tang Wei were watching their argument with great interest when they suddenly heard someone ask a question. Tang Wei gestured slightly, and Han Dong thanked her before continuing to work on the stove.
Tang Wei leaned closer to Shen Jie with her head down, "This person is really good at copying others. She even made a stove. Yesterday, when she was selecting people, she only chose girls. Humph."
Shen Jie laughed after hearing this, her eyes curving into crescents. She leaned closer and teased in a low voice, "Then why did you teach him how to start a fire?"
Tang Wei rolled her eyes. "That's one thing, that's another. This person's cleverness has nothing to do with my high moral character."
Shen Jie laughed even harder, shaking with laughter, only to be gently pinched on the waist by Tang Wei. "Good, good, good! Teacher Tang is of such high moral character, we can only look up to her in awe, hahaha, no, my waist is ticklish..."
After the two bickered for a while, Chen Jie was forced by Tang Wei to do chores. In return, Tang Wei would also help Chen Jie cook on the days she cooked.
Tang Wei couldn't help but complain to Shen Jie beside her, "How can people eat so much?!"
After washing her own dishes, Shen Jie looked at Tang Wei beside her and teased, "What's wrong, Chef Tang? Are you tired from cooking for ten people? Do you need me to serve you?"
Tang Wei nudged Shen Jie and snorted, "Mind your own business. I'm serious, this huge pot of rice took me so long to cook, and it's all gone in no time."
After washing and wiping her own dishes, Shen Jie nodded affirmatively, "You mean, there's no difference between humans and pigs?"
Tang Wei's eyes widened. "I didn't say that! You're talking nonsense again!"
Shen Jie dodged Tang Wei's hand that was about to pinch her waist and ran back to her room. She put the bowl away. Now they each had their own bowl, and after each meal, they washed and stored their own bowls. If they lost a bowl, they would have to pay for it themselves.
She had just put the bowl down when Tang Wei followed her in. The two of them playfully bickered, but both were careful with the bowls in their hands.
Don't you take a nap?
The two then quieted down, glanced at each other, and could only tiptoe down the bowl, close the door, and leave.
"The back courtyard is the same as the outer courtyard, with seven rooms, all facing south, and the size looks about the same as ours."
Tang Wei pretended to wander around, secretly glancing at the other rooms and comparing them to their own in her mind.
"You're quite fond of comparing yourself to others."
"You're teasing me again!"
Shen Jie felt the hand on her waist and quickly apologized, "Sister Tang, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."
Tang Wei thought to herself, "We've only just met, and she's already causing such a ruckus." She snorted and then hooked her arm around Chen Jie's, and the two walked outside.
Shen Jie also became more serious. She didn't know why, but when she saw Tang Wei, she wanted to tease her. Tang Wei slept on the bunk above her, and she hadn't been able to sleep last night.
As soon as she heard Tang Wei turn over, she froze, afraid that the sound of the bed frame would disturb her on the lower bunk. Thinking of this, Shen Jie couldn't help but smile.
The two strolled around and were even more excited to find that they had actually reached the "Ten Thousand Yuan Household" park, as the program's funding seemed to be in the currency of the Ten Thousand Yuan Household.
Once they left the courtyard, it seemed there were no more cameras around. The two even ran into a film crew scouting locations and ended up as background extras.
"How much do you have? Huh? You're only this much? Aren't actors supposed to make a lot of money?"
Tang Wei looked at the money in her hand and couldn't help but mutter something.
"What, Miss? You want two million? Come on, I'll go get your wages back for you right now."
After Shen Jie finished speaking, she pretended to drag Tang Wei to the film crew. Tang Wei quickly resisted and pulled Shen Jie back.
"I was just saying."
Shen Jie played with Tang Wei; that girl was really fun. They originally had quite a lot of money, but once they entered the courtyard, staff would exchange it. If they didn't exchange it, they could keep it and take it out of the park. If they did exchange it, they could take the money out after the show ended; it was just an extra currency that could be used during the show.
Both of them chose to redeem.
