On her way back, Tang Wei couldn't stop excitedly chattering, "How lucky we are! We even found jobs after having a meal!"
Shen Jie was also surprised that the boss agreed to let them work part-time at the restaurant when she heard that they were looking for jobs.
They were both stunned when they heard this. Although they were very happy, they could only tell the boss that they were still recording a show.
Surprisingly, the boss didn't say it was okay. She told them to ask the staff when they came back, and if it was possible, they could start work tomorrow. She also offered to provide two meals.
"Sister Wang's stir-fries are really delicious, no wonder so many people line up. The portions are generous, the taste is great, and the owner is very nice..."
The two returned to the compound with smiles on their faces. As more and more contestants joined, the compound gradually became lively. Some contestants were spinning tops on the road outside the compound, while others were squatting under trees playing stone chess together.
Shen Jie curiously peeked over and thought, "These people are really ingenious! I wonder who came up with this idea. They just draw a few lines on the ground, find a few different stones, and play chess like that. They really know how to overcome challenges."
There were people washing clothes and gossiping by the sink. Tang Wei and Shen Jie overheard them as they walked by, their mouths agape involuntarily before they quickly pursed their lips.
The two walked a little further away, and Tang Wei leaned close to Shen Jie and whispered, "It's only been a few days, and people are already dating?! With so many people living together, it's always smelly and chaotic, how can any contestants possibly find love?!"
Shen Jie was also excited, "Hehe, I didn't expect this either. Didn't you hear that some of the male contestants in the room sleep in bunk beds? Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect the contestants on this show to be so talented."
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they noticed that Dong Jun, who was cooking today, had a bad expression on his face. They quickly put away their smiles and went closer to find out that there was an argument going on inside.
For several days now, many people have found that choosing female contestants is better. Today, when five people were drawn to choose from, only two female contestants were left, so three boys came instead.
They've already tried to select slimmer male contestants, but among the few remaining contestants are a few with very imposing builds. It's uncertain who will ultimately be chosen.
Shen Jie was stunned when she saw it; this person needed at least three or four people's bunks to be guaranteed a spot. The people who were drawn in the previous days didn't argue much, but today the five of them started arguing over who would sleep on the top bunk and who would sleep on the bottom bunk.
Shen Jie was amazed. Everyone wanted to sleep on the lower bunk; nobody wanted to sleep on the upper bunk. They were really energetic, thinking the lower bunk was more convenient. Just as she finished listening to the argument in her own room, she turned around and went outside, only to hear another argument coming from the other room.
Tang Wei was leaning against the wall, pretending to be in a daze and resting, but her eyes didn't move at all, and her ears were perked up so high that they were almost touching the window.
Shen Jie mischievously crept closer and whispered in a threatening tone, "What are you doing?"
Tang Wei rolled her eyes at her angrily, "Keep your voice down, I can't hear you."
Shen Jie also looked curious, "What happened? Tell me quickly."
Tang Wei rolled her eyes at Shen Jie. "There aren't many empty beds left in this room. The three newcomers don't like the remaining beds and have some complaints. They want to move the beds, but the room is only so big, and the others don't want to move, so they started arguing."
Shen Jie felt a bit dry after listening. Why did they keep arguing about the same thing? "This is so boring. It wasn't as interesting as what happened at the sink earlier. Why is the neighboring compound so lively?"
Tang Wei glanced around cautiously and muttered softly, "You bet it's really stuffy in our yard. The noise from the neighboring yard is so loud. They were even singing a song relay over there last night. I wonder if they'll be doing it tonight."
Shen Jie's eyes lit up as she met Tang Wei's gaze. "Shall we go take a look tonight?"
"Sure."
[I never felt this way before. Seeing so many people chatting away, I actually found it quite lively.]
[It's really entertaining, even though there's not much of a main plot and it's just stuffing people in. But the chemistry between them is truly amazing. There's even a young couple in one of the rooms in the second courtyard! That's incredible. It's only been a short time, and it seems like the entire country's birth rate has reached Director Lin's level. O(∩_∩)O haha~]
[Seriously, with so many people in this courtyard, there's no shortage of gossip. The only problem is the accommodations are a bit too basic. Over a hundred people share one public toilet in two large courtyards. That row of cement sinks looks like a lot, but there are only ten faucets in total, far from enough for one faucet per room.]
【Absolutely! They chatter away every night and morning, making it super easy for them to rub against each other, hehe (*^▽^*) 】
[To be honest, this was the condition of my house before it was demolished. Of course, there was also a chamber pot in the house. We would use it at night and empty the chamber pot in the morning. The smell was so bad that just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.]
【Huh?! I thought people in big cities lived better than those in our small town?!】
[Hehe, looking at it now, I suddenly realize how nice it was to live in the countryside when I was a kid. You could use the toilet anywhere, just dig a hole, and if you ran out of toilet paper, no problem, you could just grab a decent stone or a leaf from the roadside. It was incredibly convenient and spacious. Now that I live in an apartment building, using the toilet is so uncomfortable, I'm not used to it at all, it just doesn't feel right ┓( ′?` )┏, and now I'm even constipated.]
【Um (⊙o⊙)…Upstairs, that's hard to say. Going to the toilet in the middle of nowhere is incredibly unsafe! What if a bug crawls onto your butt? Wouldn't that be even scarier? (*￣rǒ￣)】
[You're not a monster, you don't move away when you see bugs! Going to the toilet on the mountain is so open and free, you can go however you want, and it doesn't smell bad.]
[Just curious, I wanted to ask, won't anyone see this? (Seeking advice with an emoji.JPG)]
【What?! You want to be seen?! Do you really have to go to the toilet on the main road?! Can't you find a secluded corner or a hidden spot to use the toilet?! Your question is making me dizzy!】
[Hahaha, I thought there were some special tricks to avoid it! But it's so simple and straightforward: just find a quiet corner (laughing emoji).]
[Are you guys playing that squatting game upstairs?! We're talking about real squatting, not the game where you hide from others while squatting (*￣rǒ￣). It's really weird that you guys are discussing this so seriously~ (A bunch of weirdo emojis.JPG)]
[Haha, you guys are really good at derailing this thread! I'm almost at the point of wondering what this show is about! Just looking at the comments, I thought it was a toilet-watching show.]
