Chapter 63: Showing Off His Talent
Kang Mingyuan didn't expect her to be so fierce. By the time he reacted, Qiao Mo had already walked away.
Han Yimo was also stunned by her: Didn't they say not to show off too much? Why didn't she take it easy?
"Don't worry, I will help her." Kang Mingyuan looked at everyone's surprised expressions and had no choice but to make amends.
"I get it. Don't worry. If it really doesn't work, we can just work the night shift. At worst, you can just rest at home tomorrow." Han Yimo nodded and helped Kang Mingyuan load the sacks into the basket.
"I understand. I'll tell her." Kang Mingyuan nodded, carrying his load and following him.
There were so many chestnuts that they took turns carrying them home. They were so busy the next morning that even with their martial arts skills protecting them, the three of them collapsed from exhaustion.
At this time, except for Liu Ruoling, everyone else at the educated youth site had gone out. The three of them cooked a bowl of noodles and went back to their homes to rest.
"I'm so tired. I won't do this next time." Back in the room, Han Yimo washed his face hastily and climbed onto the bed.
"I miscalculated. I didn't expect to be able to take down so many." Kang Mingyuan felt a little regretful. They were indeed too arrogant this time. They were two men, but he felt really bad for Qiao Mo, who was so tired following them.
"You have to take it easy next time, otherwise I'll be exhausted." Han Yima muttered twice and then began to snore.
Qiao Mo was not as poor as Kang Mingyuan imagined. She boiled some water, went home and washed herself from head to toe before going to bed.
She slept very soundly, but when she woke up hungry it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so she had to get up and cook.
But Kang Mingyuan and the others had already cooked the meal. She thought that men were still men, and their recovery abilities were much stronger than women's. Even she, a person with special abilities, could not catch up.
She caught a few yellow eels from the jar, cut them up and made fried eel slices, and also made boiled eggplant and stir-fried bok choy.
After eating and drinking their fill, they carried out two sacks of chestnuts and dumped them on the open space in front of the house. The three of them sat around and started peeling them: the chestnuts were still wrapped in prickly shells, and when they were handed in, the outer layer of prickly shells had to be peeled off, leaving only the dark brown chestnuts.
Chestnuts are not easy to peel. Even if they are cracked, you can just step on them a few times to take out the chestnuts inside. If they are not cracked, you need to peel them with scissors or knock them open with the back of a knife.
Fortunately, the three of them had strong hands and had mastered the techniques. With a poke and a pick of the scissors, they could pick open the thorny shells, and with the other hand, they could accurately take out the chestnuts inside.
Liu Ruoling, who was peeling chestnuts beside them, saw that they had peeled a whole sieve in a short while, while she had been busy for almost a whole day, her hands were full of prickles, and she had not peeled many.
Comparing the two, she felt both anxious and angry. She was anxious because she didn't know when she could finish peeling the chestnuts, and she hated because Qiao Mo, Kang Mingyuan and the others refused to let them join them. Otherwise, if they joined them, she would only need to cook and would not have to do such dangerous work.
