Chapter 17: Unexpected
After Meng Chuyuan broke the last leaf, she turned to look behind and realized that Liao Jiake's vegetable field was only a quarter loose.
Looking over, the Qi siblings were quite fast. More than half of the land that was originally filled with weeds had been cleaned up.
Looking at the difference between the other two groups, a complicated expression flashed across Meng Chuyuan's eyes.
After a while, she placed the bucket beside her horizontally and casually pushed it. It rolled to Lu Jinsen's feet.
Lu Jinsen was confused by her sudden action. He looked up at her in confusion.
Meng Chuyuan ordered him, "Bring back a bucket of water."
"What do you need water for?"
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan did not answer, Lu Jinsen did not dwell on this matter. He picked up the bucket and got up to find a place to fetch water.
Not long after, Lu Jinsen returned with a full bucket of water. At this moment, Meng Chuyuan was already standing by the vegetable field with a red ladle in her hand.
She instructed Lu Jinsen to put the bucket aside and even asked him to pick up the hoe from the ground.
"What are you doing?" Lu Jinsen could not read her mind at all and did not know what she was going to do. However, he could actively cooperate with Meng Chuyuan without knowing anything.
Meng Chuyuan bent down and used a container to scoop a ladle of water from the bucket. Then, she sprinkled it on the ground as she replied to Lu Jinsen's question, "Of course, I'm going to fill the ground with water so that the soil becomes looser. Otherwise, that hoe will become useless sooner or later if you use it like this."
"…" Why hadn't he thought of the fact that water could loosen the soil?
[This is indeed a good idea. Sister Meng is so meticulous and thoughtful.]
[Sure enough, the details determine success or failure, hahahahaha.]
[Sister Meng is really good-looking and smart. I love such a smart beauty.]
[Meng Chuyuan: I don't rely on brute force, I rely on intelligence.]
Meng Chuyuan splashed water on the ground. After a long time, she turned around and saw that Lu Jinsen had not moved. A hint of surprise flashed across her deep eyes. "Get to work. Why are you standing there like a fool?"
Lu Jinsen blinked in shock, as if he had heard wrongly. He asked in disbelief, "Now?"
She looked up at him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Did I say tomorrow?"
"…" What a fickle woman.
She had asked him to rest just now, but after a short while, she was asking him to work again.
Lu Jinsen held the hoe and continued to plow the soil that had been sprinkled with water.
Half an hour later, the soil in their group was basically loosened. Then, they hoed away the remaining weeds and shattered the untreated soil.
Lu Jinsen had always been in charge of turning the soil. While he was dealing with the weeds, Meng Chuyuan mysteriously disappeared from the live-stream. When she returned again, she was carrying a heavy sack.
Lu Jinsen saw that the sack in her hand was a little dirty and even released a pungent smell.
He subconsciously took two steps back and frowned with a look of disdain. "What did you take?"
Meng Chuyuan said without batting an eyelid, "fertilizer."
When Lu Jinsen heard this, his expression changed drastically. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose and retreated to keep a distance from Meng Chuyuan.
She saw that this piece of land had been abandoned for too long and had not been farmed. The soil quality was also average, so she went to ask the villagers for some organic fertilizer.
"Look at how useless you are." Meng Chuyuan looked at him disdainfully and reached out to him. "Give me the hoe."
After handing the hoe to her, Lu Jinsen returned to the shade to rest alone.
Meng Chuyuan poured out the fertilizer from the sack and added it to the soil. She mixed the organic fertilizer in during the process of turning the ground.
[She even used organic fertilizer. Looks like Sister Meng knows how to farm.]
[Help!! Sister Meng looks so down-to-earth when she does farm work.]
[Sister Meng always thinks of what others don't think of first.]
[Every time I go back to my hometown to help with farm work during the holidays. I suddenly feel so close to Sister Meng when I see her carrying these things.]
After Meng Chuyuan applied the fertilizer evenly, she turned around to look for Lu Jinsen and threw the spinach seeds to him.
Lu Jinsen took it.
Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and said calmly, "The seeds will be planted later, understand?"
He looked displeased and asked coldly, "Why me?"
At the thought of how she had added fertilizer to the ground just now, every cell in Lu Jinsen's body resisted.
"Why can't it be you? Or can't you handle such a small matter?"
Meng Chuyuan's words rendered him speechless.
Seeing that he did not retort, Meng Chuyuan took out an unopened mask from her coat pocket and handed it to Lu Jinsen. "This might be useful to you."
Without another word, Lu Jinsen took the mask from her hand and held it in his hand.
She reminded him again, "Remember to plant the seeds later. I've opened the ditch. Sprinkle the seeds into the ditch. Sprinkle them evenly, then cover them with a layer of plant ash."
Lu Jinsen let out a nasal "Yes."
After giving out instructions, Meng Chuyuan took the hoe and left, heading straight for Liao Jiake.
Liao Jiake had been working for a long time yet the soil was only half loosened.
As for Liao Jiake, who had never done farm work before, she could only do it at her own pace.
Suddenly, she heard a beautiful voice behind her. "Let me help you."
Liao Jiake turned around curiously and saw Meng Chuyuan walking towards her with a hoe.
The moment Meng Chuyuan appeared, tears welled up in Liao Jiake's eyes, making her look like she was crying tears of joy.
[Ah ah ah ah ah, two beauties are in the same live-stream. This is a broken dimension.]
[F*ck! Don't stop me. I have to become a fan of Sister Meng this time!]
[Sister Meng, I love you so much. Boohoo.]
[I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it!! The person who came to help my Ke Ke in the end was actually Sister Meng, whom I hated the most in the past!!!]
[Based on Sister Meng's behavior today, I order you not to criticize her!]
When Meng Chuyuan came to her side, the hoe landed on the ground. After a while, Liao Jiake reacted and said to her, "Thank you."
"It's nothing. You're welcome."
Liao Jiake casually found a topic to chat about. "Are you done with your work?"
Meng Chuyuan said softly, "No."
"Huh?" Liao Jiake was a little surprised. "Then why are you still here to help me?"
When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she raised her head and glanced in Lu Jinsen's direction. "With that kid around, it's fine."
Liao Jiake: "…"
Including today, they had filmed a program together for two days, but everyone was working according to their groups. They were busy with their own things and did not have time to interact in private.
To Liao Jiake, Meng Chuyuan seemed mysterious.
While everyone was busy, only Meng Chuyuan was resting at the side. It was not entirely true that she was slacking, neither was it apparent that she was lazy.
Although Meng Chuyuan did not do anything from the start, she could always surprise people in the end and complete the task given by the production team in the shortest time.
