CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: FARM WORK

After hearing the whole story, the parents felt both proud and critical of the show organizers.

The show crew is unreliable, and we have to rely on the little guests’ efforts.

The food that their children worked hard to earn should surely be savored properly.

The food was placed on the table, and several parents gathered around.

Gu Che held his sister in his arms, "Want to eat more?"

Tuanzi covered her little mouth, shook her head, her big eyes almost glued to the steamed buns.

Gu Che took a bag of steamed buns, felt it, slightly warm.

"I’ll go heat it up."

"No need, no need."

Tuanzi quickly grabbed the steamed buns, hugged them in her little hands, and soon, the buns were steaming hot again.

"Miaomiao has Inner Strength."

She couldn’t help but proudly shook her head, her eyebrows and eyes full of smiles.

"Miaomiao is the best."

Gu Che felt through the bag, and found the temperature just right.

Inner Strength is indeed amazing.

He picked one up and brought it to his sister’s mouth, "Too many, I can’t finish them."

The children each bought 2 to 3 servings of every type of food, the five parents may not finish them all.

Seeing there’s still a lot on the table, she happily took a bite, directly chomping down half of a bun, cheeks puffed as she chewed, then took another bite, swallowing the other half.

After eating two, Tuanzi bit into another, jumped down, and happily went to find other parents, extending her little hand, heated it for a minute.

Heated here, heated there, and happily returned to her brother’s arms, continuing her ’munch’.

Parents were surprised to see the food start steaming.

However, Gu Che and Tuanzi didn’t make a big deal out of it, so they just thanked them without asking further.

[Gu Miaomiao is so annoying, she’s all over the place while eating, touching here and there, so dirty, so impolite]

[She touched through the bag, where’s the dirtiness?]

[Are you blind? Didn’t you see the food starts steaming after she touched it? She’s using Inner Strength to heat it.]

[Just bragging, who has Inner Strength these days? Really sees herself as a heroine.]

[Then how do you explain the previous feat? Is it so hard to admit she’s a martial arts expert?]

[Ignore them, they just like to nitpick and criticize awkwardly, the more you respond, the more excited they get, just pretend you don’t see them.]

[Luckily this is a live broadcast, if it was recorded, someone would definitely say they edited it to create a Little Heroine persona.]

Soon it was afternoon, and the audience guessed some of the tasks.

"This afternoon, everyone will be divided into two groups, heading to the cornfield and peanut field to work. If you all collectively harvest and dig a total of more than five hundred pounds, you can have an additional dish tonight — roast suckling pig."

"Roast suckling pig?"

The five little guests’ eyes widened, "It’s definitely going to be super delicious!"

Everyone uniformly wiped the corners of their mouths.

In the world of children, eating is of utmost importance. Therefore, they seldom consider other matters.

The five parents, however, realized, "Five hundred pounds? Are you sure?"

On average, each group of guests has to complete a hundred-pound task.

After work, they still have to make dinner.

This is exhausting the guests!

The host threw the blame, "This is the director’s arrangement." Blame the director if you must!

The five parents glared at each other.

To prevent anyone from slacking off, the host had to propose the director’s requirements.

Corn cannot be picked with the stalks, peanuts must be detached from leaves after being dug out, only peanuts should be left, peanuts can have dirt, but you can’t deliberately smear dirt on them, nor can you refrain from shaking off the dirt after they’re dug out.

"The entire internet audience is supervising you."

The five parents: "..."

The five little ones: "Roast suckling pig! Roast suckling pig! Roast suckling pig!"

[Hahaha, human joys and sorrows are not connected, children only have eyes for food]

[Here comes the entertaining farming time]

[Five hundred pounds is not a bit too much]

[For skilled farmers, it’s certainly trivial, but for these unskilled ones, it’s hard to say]

After the initial excitement, Tuanzi keenly sensed that her brother wasn’t in a good mood, carefully tugged his hand, "Brother, what’s wrong?"

Gu Che forced a smile, "The task is a bit tough."

Tuanzi blinked, "Don’t worry, Miaomiao is here."

Although she hadn’t seen corn and peanuts yet, she believed she was a little handy worker!

Just that confident!

Tang Tian went to ask the villagers about the yield and weight of corn and peanuts, the answer was, some big corn could weigh a pound each, medium-sized corn about a pound and a half for two. Peanuts were tricky, you might dig hard and not get much, and shaking off the dirt makes it even less.

After discussion, the parents decided on a group of six and a group of four. The six-person group would handle corn, and if the peanut group’s results were poor, they would all switch to picking corn.

"If they all are big corn, just five hundred of them would fulfill the task, if not, a thousand."

Tang Tian cheered everyone on, "It’s still hopeful."

Liu Man said helplessly, "If it were ten adults, I think it’s okay, mainly, the kids might not have much stamina."

Liu Yue pouted unhappily, "Sis, I can do it, I will try hard to help."

Liu Man quickly apologized and was surprised. Her sister was always shy, keeping things to herself, it was the first time she openly expressed displeasure.

This is a good change.

Everyone drew lots to decide which group to join.

In the end, Liu Man’s group and Gu Che’s group went to the peanut field.

Tuanzi happily picked up a straw hat and put it on.

"Brother, look, matching sibling hats."

The top star also wore a straw hat, had on ice sleeves, if he changed clothes, he could blend right in locally.

Upon reaching the peanut field, Gu Che resignedly grabbed a hoe.

[Wait, I suddenly remembered, doesn’t Gu Che have a back injury?]

[Seems so, he got injured dancing before, it never healed properly]

[Then he might as well go to the cornfield]

[It was decided by drawing lots]

[Besides, Gu Che isn’t the type to back down]

[Sigh, after this work, his injury will surely relapse]

Gu Che dug down a few times with the hoe, uncovering peanuts.

He reached out to pick up the peanut leaves, shook them lightly.

"I shook off the dirt, didn’t smear it."

He put on a serious face, "Later, the kids only need to pull down the peanuts."

The cameraman gave the peanuts a close-up shot.

[It’s all dirt, nearly can’t see the peanuts]

[Didn’t expect this from you, top star]

[But he really didn’t violate the rules, he shook the dirt and didn’t smear it]

Tuanzi squatted at the side, observing closely, nodding her small head.

"So this is how peanuts grow, need to dig like this."

After understanding, she raised her chubby little hand, "Let Miaomiao try, maybe Eight Trigrams Palm can overturn these dirt, exposing the peanuts."

At the same time, the Shenzhen Xingyi Boxing Association was editing Zhang Xiafei’s promotional video, preparing to release it the next morning.

The head of the publicity department refused to release such a promotional video.

"He just posed a few moves, isn’t this disgusting for Xingyi Boxing?"

The vice president waved indifferently, "Ah, as long as he’s famous, people will watch, fame is what matters."

Tan Sheng laughed in anger, he realized the vice president did not genuinely love Xingyi Boxing, even the nearly retired president wasn’t focused on it.

Then what’s the point of him staying here?
