âHiss-â
Tang Zinian gasped as soon as he stepped into the water.
âThis water is too cold!â
He sighed with emotion for a moment before he braced himself and stepped in. Then, he looked at the dense seedlings in the field with a blank expression. âHow do we do this? Pull it out directly? What happens after you pull it out?â When he asked these questions, Song Qingyou put the cat down and went to the field.
She picked up the handful of straw on the ridge and said, âPull a bunch out, tie them up with straw, and throw them into various areas of the paddy field.â âUntie it when you transplant the seedlings,â Yu Muhuai answered naturally. âYes.â Song Qingyou nodded.
Jiang Xuyan, who had just tied the dog leash to the tree, happened to hear the two of them echoing each other. He smiled and said, âQingyou must have done these things in the past. When we were on that island, we already knew. 1 remember you saying that youâre a local of Beijing City.â
Yu Muhuai pulled out the seedlings skillfully. âThere are elders living in the countryside. Iâve helped them before.â
âI see.â Jiang Xu Yan said, â1 used to live in the countryside, but I didnât do thisâ¦
Among us, itâs only Zinianâs first time coming to a place like this, right?â
âAll?â Tang Zinian raised his head.â Yes!â
After answering, he continued to lower his head and worked very hard.
Even though his speed couldnât compare to Song Qingyouâs.
âYouâre working so hard because you donât want that grandma to do it herself?â Jiang Xuyan asked.
Tang Zinian hummed in agreement. His voice was filled with a rare hint of frustration.
âMy grandmother was very good to me when she was alive, but 1 was young at that time and couldnât be filialâ¦â
He stopped talking.
However, they had heard what Tang Zinian had said before. They knew that his parents must have been unfilial to his grandmother.
And this grandmother was not with her son, so it was inevitable that he would think of the past.
Jiang Xuyan glanced at Song Qingyou and changed the topic.
âOh my god! Look at Qingyou!â
The two of them looked up and saw five or six bundles of rice seedlings at Song Qingyouâs feet.
Looking at the bundles of seedlings in their own hands, they were still chatting hereâ¦
The few of them were silent for a long time. Tang Zinian suddenly woke up. âTeacher Jiang, donât talk to me anymore. I have to work hard to pull out the seedlings!â
âBefore this episode airs, 1 think 1 can still save myself. Iâm determined not to be one of the useless men behind Sister Qingyou!â
These words made his blood boil.
Jiang Xuyan speechlessly said to the camera on the ridge, âSee? In the post-production, remember to post a burning flame behind him. Our show will become a hot-blooded youth manga in minutes!â
Yu Muhuai chuckled. â1 feel like Teacher Jiangâs next sentence is âItâs good to be young!'â
âBingo!â Jiang Xuyan snapped his fingers.
Then he directly shook the mud on his hand, leaving little black spots on his face.
The inspirational young man, Tang Zinian, broke his streak in a second.
When Jiang Xuyan looked over, he immediately restrained himself. âItâs time to pull out the seedlings.â
Song Qingyou chuckled. âAfter we finish planting in this field, we can go back for dinner. Weâll come back in the afternoon to transplant the seedlingsâ¦â The others had no objections to this arrangement.
Jiang Xuyan was about to lower his head to tie up the seedlings when he saw a black worm wriggling on his leg. It gave him goosebumps.
âAh!â
He was so frightened that he screamed. His left foot was still stuck in the mud pit and could not be pulled out no matter what. He staggered and fell back. âTeacher Jiang!â
Tang Zinian and Yu Muhuai cried out in unison.
The two of them reached out to Jiang Xuyan at the same time.
In the end, because they couldnât pull their feet out, they all fell into the field.
Song Qingyou could only move two steps, trying to catch Jiang Xuyan.
Who knew that Haha had suddenly pulled off the leash and ran towards Song Qingyou on all fours, not caring how much mud was on his body.
âMeow!â
Jiang Zhihan instantly arched his back and all the hair on his body stood up.
In the next second, the cat charged out like an arrow.
However, Haha was too big. Jiang Zhihan couldnât stop it in time and was almost stepped into the mud.
Song Qingyou also couldnât catch Jiang Xuyan in time because the cat and dog appeared in her field of vision at the same time. She even staggered a little. Fortunately, she moved quickly and supported herself with one hand in the field, so she did not fall into the field.
Jiang Xuyan was more unlucky. Not only did he fall into the field, but Haha also wanted to lick him. His paws and fur were covered in mud.
âHaha!â Jiang Xuyanâs helpless shouts filled the field.
The four of them took a few minutes to get up. They looked at each other and could not help but laugh.
The old grandma who saw the chaotic scene not far away hurriedly walked over and suggested that they go up and wash their faces first.
Tang Zinian valued his appearance very much. After Song Qingyou translated the old grandmaâs words, he couldnât wait to agree.
Along the way, the old grandma was worried and said a lot to Song Qingyou.
Song Qingyou translated without changing her expression, âGrandma said that if we canât do it, we should stop. She can actually do it herself.â
âShe said that if the production team doesnât give us food, sheâll let us come to her house for dinner. She doesnât mind.â
âEspecially you, Brother Jiang. Grandma said that youâre afraid of even insects.
You definitely canât farm.â
âAnd you, Tang Zinian. Grandma said that you fell first. You have thin arms and legs. I can tell that you havenât eaten.â
âYu Muhuai too.â
Translated, they were basically all words of disdain.
Although the old grandma might want them to back out, Jiang Xuyan grabbed the muddy dog and complained, âIf I didnât know what kind of person you were, 1 would have thought that you were just pretending to translate Grandmaâs words and saying that weâre useless.â
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Xingzhou, who had just returned from the shop and was ready to help, came over.
âWhatâs wrong with you guys? Did you fall into the field?â
âYeah, I was kicked by a dog.â Jiang Xuyan pulled the leash.
If Haha hadnât suddenly appeared, he and Qingyou wouldnât have fallen!
Sensing its ownerâs gaze, Haha began to jump left and right again. Even if it was restricted by the leash, it would not let him relax at all.
âWaiting in line and getting kicked by a dog?â
Tang Zinian was speechless.
âNo.â Jiang Xuyan waved his hand, as if he couldnât be bothered to say more.
Xu Xingzhou didnât ask further and said directly,âThen Iâll go firstâ¦â
âItâs almost noon,â Song Qingyou interrupted. âLetâs go back to the homestay first. Weâll come back in the afternoon.â
âThat works too.â
The few of them asked for the time and learned that it was already 11:30 am, so they did not go to the old ladyâs house again.
But before she left, Song Qingyou didnât forget to tell the old lady that they would come back in the afternoon.
Thus, the group of five descended the mountain.
After returning, only Xu Xingzhou was clean. The other four, including the cats and dogs, were all covered in mud. They did not bring any rice, noodles, or vegetables back.
This embarrassing appearance really shocked Zhao Yingnan and Shu Ling, who were carrying half a basket of tea leaves..
