Xia Tian glanced at the shoes on the feet of several people and said with a smile: "The shoes you are wearing are not good. We will definitely go to the fields to pick them up later."
"Your shoes got wet as soon as you went in. You should go back and change into a new pair!"
"If you brought high wellies, then change into them. If not, just change into slippers like I did."
"When we go to the fields later, just throw your shoes aside and go barefoot."
Qiu Mengyun and the others put down what they were holding and quickly ran back to their respective rooms to change their shoes.
After changing their shoes, several people carried buckets and shovels, talking and laughing as they headed towards the rice fields.
When they arrived at the rice field, they saw Chen Qingqing and Fang Wenxuan already busy working in the field.
But what was surprising was that the two men were not picking snails and looking for crabs in the fields as they had imagined, but were scooping water into buckets with basins.
Xia Tian was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what they were doing.
He stood there and watched for a while, and found that every time they filled the bucket, they would take the bucket outside and pour out the water.
Xia Tian smiled and shook his head. "Haha! It seems we overestimated them just now. But come to think of it, neither of them has ever been to the fields. How could they possibly know that there are snails in these paddy fields?"
Qiu Mengyun was surprised and asked, "Uh! What are they doing? Are they trying to put all the water in the bucket and then take it out and pour it out?"
He Yunting smiled bitterly and said, "Based on the current situation, they seem to really think so."
Xie Jinglong laughed and said, "I really don't know who came up with this idea. How long will it take to carry out this much water using buckets?"
"I'm afraid that after a month, they have already drained all the water out of it?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "I think instead of carrying out bucket after bucket like this, they might as well sit by the roadside and rest for a while."
"It's better to just let the water soak down on its own than to put in so much effort."
Qiu Mengyun: "Who cares about them? Maybe they are just exercising."
"Okay, let's get started. Whether we can improve the food tonight depends on this afternoon."
Then several people took off their slippers and walked into the rice fields wearing only a pair of socks.
As for why you should keep a pair of socks, it is a requirement in summer.
Because there are inevitably some branches and other things in the rice fields, if you go directly to the ground barefoot, it will be very painful if you accidentally step on them and get your feet pricked.
If you are unlucky enough to get a cut on your foot, it would be even more of a waste.
But with the protection of socks, most of these situations can be avoided.
The four people were divided into two groups. Xia Tian was naturally in the same group with Qiu Mengyun, while Xie Jinglong was with He Yunting.
"Wow! There really are snails. Look, I found quite a few here."
Qiu Mengyun picked up a handful of snails and waved her arms excitedly.
Seeing Qiu Mengyun's smug look, He Yunting pulled a crayfish out of her bucket and said, "Haha! Xia Tian just said that there will definitely be snails. What's so exciting about finding them?"
"Look what I have in my hand? Crayfish, and we've found several!"
When Qiu Mengyun saw the lobster in He Yunting's hand, she immediately wilted.
She pushed Xia Tian in frustration and said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you have a speech? How come you're not as good as Sister Ting? She's already found crayfish, and you're still here picking up snails."
Xia Tian also felt very innocent. He weakly defended himself, "Uh! This matter is really not my fault. We just followed the path to find it."
"Sister Yunting and the others found lobsters. They were just lucky."
Qiu Mengyun pouted and said, "Humph! I don't care. Anyway, you know more about this than others. We must be better than them."
“Not only should we find more than them, but we should also have more categories than them.”
Xia Tian said depressedly: "Uh! It's not that I don't work hard, it's really beyond my control."
"We can only do our job well. As for the final result, that depends on God's will."
Qiu Mengyun said unconvincedly: "No, I don't want to rely on fate, I just believe that my fate is in my own hands!"
"Puchi! Hahaha! This is the first time I know that this word can be used in this way." Looking at Qiu Mengyun's middle school look, Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ahhh! You dare to laugh at me, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you." Qiu Mengyun felt quite embarrassed when Xia Tian laughed at her like that.
I didn’t think too much about it when I said it just now, but now I think it’s quite funny.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she decisively turned her attention to Xia Tian.
Seeing Qiu Mengyun coming towards him with fangs bared, Xia Tian quickly dodged to the side.
However, the water in the rice fields has not been released yet. If you step in now, the water will be deep and shallow, and you can't run fast at all.
Fortunately, Qiu Mengyun's situation was not much better than his. In fact, due to physical reasons, she had difficulty walking, let alone running, in the rice fields.
After only a few steps, Qiu Mengyun stopped panting.
"Hoohoo! Xia Tian...you, come here, I promise I won't hit you."
Qiu Mengyun held her waist with one hand and pointed at Xia Tian with the other and said.
Xia Tian said with a grin, "Hehe! I'm not that stupid. I won't fall for your trick."
Qiu Mengyun took a breath and continued, "Come here quickly. I really won't lie to you."
