Chapter 68 Let's work~
After listening to the director's words, Ji Anzhi quietly asked Huo Wanjun beside him.

"You, can you cut rice?"

There was a little nervous anticipation in her eyes, and Huo Wanjun found it cute inexplicably.

He clenched a fist with one hand, put it to his mouth and gave a low cough, and said with a smile:
"I haven't tried it, but I can learn."

Ji Anzhi blinked his eyes, and it took him a long time to react, and said in a low voice:
"So there are times when you can't do it."

If it's a man, there's no possibility that it won't work, Huo Wanjun patted her on the shoulder, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you and your daughter live in thatched cottage."

Ji Mingmei said cleverly:
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go to inquire about the news and see which group of families will meet. Let's just learn from behind. If we don't take the first place, we can still take the second place."

Huo Wanjun gave his daughter a look of praise.

Although Xu Yifei and Mi Jiaxing are also from the countryside, they have never been in the field, and their faces are full of bewilderment.

Although An Lin's parents are not young, the old couple are both workers, so they have never been in the field.

Only Dean Jiang's face was full of confidence, and he said cheerfully:
"I was sent to the countryside when I was young, and I did farm work for several years, so I probably know how to harvest rice."

Jiang Nan laughed and said: "It's done now, this time it's up to Dad, come on!"

Teacher Yu said angrily: "You don't even look at how old your father is. His hands are used to hold paintbrushes, and they have to be ground and blistered after a few swings of the scythe."

Jiang Nan stuck out her tongue, "That's okay, he can teach me, anyway, he's not fighting alone."

Ji Mingmei listened to what they said, quickly ran to her parents, and whispered to her father for a long time.

Director Zhang took the microphone and said: "Families in all groups, please get ready, we will go to the fields to harvest rice in a while."

Everyone is dressed brightly, not suitable for work at all, so I hurried to find suitable clothes in the suitcase to change.

For the recording program in summer, the sun protection equipment of the guests is still well prepared, especially the ladies, who can't wait to wrap their heads to their feet.

Ji Anzhi was no exception. She was not afraid of getting tanned, but the burning sensation of the sun on her skin was too uncomfortable.

Huo Wanjun put on a sun protection suit and a hat and it was over.

Ji Mingmei was exaggerating. She covered her whole body with sunscreen, and then wrapped herself up tightly, even her face.

Ji Anzhi clicked his tongue while watching, "Aren't you so hot that you don't suffer from heat stroke?"

Ji Mingmei said indifferently: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's too hot, it's troublesome if you get sunburned."

Forget it, the child has his own ideas, and she is not too young, so she will stop nagging.

Ji Anzhi took out three big bottles of mineral water and handed them to Huo Wanjun. He also took out a pack of cotton towels and put them in the bag so that he could wipe off his sweat later. They had prepared enough.

When everyone came out to meet again, they were all laughed at by their respective weapons.

Ji Mingmei laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, "Sister Nan Nan, is this the legendary face guinea you are wearing? Are you covering it well?"

Jiang Nan said indifferently: "This little heat is nothing, I would rather be a little hot than get tanned."

The men were more casual, and Director Zhang found a few straw hats from somewhere, urging him to get the ones he needed.

Probably because everyone thought the straw hat was too ugly, no one wanted it, only Cancan's grandparents and Dean Jiang took it and put it on their heads.

Dean Jiang also laughed at everyone's lack of vision, saying that the straw hat is the most comfortable to wear.

Seeing the temperature getting higher and higher, Mina couldn't help urging: "Take us to harvest rice, it's getting hotter."

Zhang Haimin didn't dare to make the patron's father work too hard, so he hurriedly took everyone out.

It is too optimistic for someone who has never participated in the double grab.

It was as if they were going on an outing, talking and laughing along the way, and they didn't take rice harvesting seriously at all.

When we got to the edge of the field and looked at the full ears of rice, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Haimin said with a smile: "The area has been divided for everyone. The areas of the four places are the same size. Which group of families will be cut first, and which group can choose a house to rest."

Since they are all the same area, it doesn't matter which one you choose. An Lin's family chose the leftmost one, and Xu Yifei's family simply chose the rightmost one.

Ji Mingmei was worried that she would not be able to stay with Dean Jiang and the others, but now it's over, she doesn't have to worry about it.

Once in the ground, even wearing long-sleeved trousers, I still feel a little stinging.

Seeing Ji Anzhi suffering from pain, Huo Wanjun felt a little distressed, he said softly:
"How about you and your daughter go to the field to rest, and I will cut the rice alone."

Ji Anzhi waved his hand and comforted him: "It's just such a small area, the three of us will cut it faster together, don't worry, my daughter and I are not so delicate."

Ji Mingmei also looked calm, "Dad, don't talk nonsense, how can you do the task that the whole family needs to complete together, let's not panic, let's see what Dean Jiang does first. .”

Ji Mingmei's eyes were full of cunning, and Huo Wanjun couldn't help laughing at it.

Mina's complexion was a little ugly. She was spoiled and pampered since she was a child. How could she have suffered from this? She couldn't even walk safely in the field, but everyone was treated like this, so she could only endure it.

Xu Yifei pinched her waist and said to Mi Jiaxing as a matter of course:
"It's up to you later. They all have similar starting points. You can't lose to others. Nana and I don't want to live in a thatched cottage. You can fight me a little bit."

Mi Jiaxing said incredulously: "You don't expect me to be alone, do you? I have never done farm work, how can one person do better than a family."

Xu Yifei said dissatisfied:
"I didn't say that I don't work. Look at the hands of Nana and me. They are thin and tender. Just holding a sickle is enough. You still expect us to fail. I think you have a heart. Now It doesn’t care about us at all.”

Mijiaxing wanted to cry, but he argued: "I really convinced you, you said to record the show, I will put down everything to accompany you, what do you want me to do? If you don't want to live in a thatched cottage, you have to work. There is no way I can win alone."

When Mina saw what her mother wanted to say, she said a little irritably: "Stop arguing, and don't be afraid of being laughed at. If you have that energy, why not cut more rice, let alone useless."

Mina didn't think that her father alone could win the competition.

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Zhang Haimin hit the gong with a drum hammer, and everyone jumped into the field immediately.

They all lowered their heads and worked hard to cut the rice. Only Huo Wanjun's family watched Dean Jiang carefully. Even if Dean Jiang knew how to cut rice, he hadn't been on the ground for many years.

The sickle is sharp, holding the ears of rice in the left hand and cutting with the sickle in the right. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself, and you can't move fast.

Because of He Can's young age, there was another person in their family, so she simply watched the battle by the field.

She held the trumpet, yelled to cheer up, and encouraged everyone without hesitation.

After Ji Mingmei mastered the knack of cutting rice, she moved without the slightest burden of being an idol, and her movements were unexpectedly proficient.

Because of the nylon gloves on her hands, it didn't feel that uncomfortable. Thanks to her mother's comprehensive thinking, everything was prepared properly.

Jiang Nan's waist is not very good, and she has to stand up after cutting rice for a while, and Mina's legs can't support her to bend down to cut rice for a long time.

Xu Yifei only cut a few times with great effort, and felt the grass prick her face, which made her unbearably itchy.

Beads of sweat rolled on almost everyone's face, Ji Anzhi was no exception, she was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Huo Wanjun felt distressed, and said in a low voice: "Go and rest for a while before you come down. If you lose, you lose. It's no big deal."

Ji Anzhi shook his head, "I'll just slow down, how can I make you tired."

Dean Jiang and his wife are old, even if they are more proficient than everyone else, they are not compared to the past. An Lin's parents are not bad, they have mastered the trick, although they are not fast, they are not behind.

Only Mi Jiaxing was the toughest, Xu Yifei just stood there and scratched her face when she was tired, Mina couldn't bear it, so she could only sit and wait by the field, only Mi Jiaxing chased other families hard.

Seeing that the Jiang family was about to be cut off, and Huo Wanjun and the others were almost the same as An Lin's family, Mi Jiaxing was extremely anxious and urged Xu Yifei to help quickly.

Xu Yifei was about to cry, she didn't care about winning or losing, she was full of complaints and wanted to go to the field with her daughter to stay, but she was embarrassed to leave Mi Jiaxing here alone, so she had to work hard.

In the end, it was no surprise that Dean Jiang and the others won No.1, Ji Anzhi and the others fought hard and took the second place, and An Lin's family was content to take the third place, as long as they were not at the bottom.

Seeing that her family was reduced to the last place, Mina was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Xu Yifei's complexion was not good, but she couldn't say anything to blame Mi Jiaxing. Mi Jiaxing was already out of breath from exhaustion, and almost hurt his leg. Seeing that the match was over, he threw away the sickle, Just leave.

Zhang Haimin secretly glanced at the face of the donor's father, seeing that he was not angry, felt relieved, and began to allocate houses to everyone.

Both Mr. Yu and his wife lived a life of petty bourgeoisie, so they naturally chose the building, but Ji Anzhi took a fancy to the house with its own small vegetable garden, so he chose that one.

An Lin took her parents to choose a bungalow with a lot of chickens. Only Xu Yifei's family had no extra choice.

Seeing that they had made their choice, Director Zhang said loudly, "Everyone should be tired and hungry now, right? The program team has prepared lunch, and everyone can go to take a nap after eating, and everyone can spend the rest of the time freely."

This is good news. Ever since Xu Yifei knew that their family of three was going to live in a thatched cottage, she never stopped talking, blaming Mi Jiaxing for not being able to compare with Huo Wanjun.

It's useless to blame him, even if he can't get the first place, he shouldn't be the last. Mi Jiaxing automatically filtered her nagging, as if she didn't hear anything, and walked forward on her own.

Lunch is just the most common big pot of rice, but what everyone eats is extraordinarily sweet. Even the most common corn on the cob feels a hundred times sweeter than eating outside.

After lunch, Ji An's family dragged their luggage to their accommodation. This experience was very novel to Huo Wanjun.

When you see the big brick houses surrounded by walls, you have a warm and peaceful feeling.

Ji Mingmei was the first to open the door, and the wooden door creaked, which sounded simple and simple.

"Wow~ There's also a pressurized water machine, which I only had when I was a child."

Ji Anzhi nodded and observed the small courtyard. The steps of the house were made of big cobblestones, and there were two big stone drums on the left and right sides.

Open the door and enter, there is a big main room in the middle, there is a room on the left and right sides, the kitchen is at the back of the house, it doesn't look big, but it is clean.

Huo Wanjun took the suitcase in, wiped the sweat from his brow and said:
"Which room do you two want to sleep in? Both have air conditioners, I'll turn them on first."

There is air conditioning in the bedroom, so you don't have to suffer when you sleep at night.

It's a pity that there is no air conditioner in the main room, only a ceiling fan on the roof and a TV, which may be hot when eating.

The two rooms were about the same size. Ji Anzhi entered the room on the right. Although the room was quaint, the furniture looked like it was newly added. She reached out and touched it, but there was no dust.

Seeing her unpacking the suitcase, Huo Wanjun quickly pulled her up.

"Sit down and rest for a while, and leave it to me to clean up. I think your hands are blistered."

Ji Anzhi said indifferently: "I'm not tired anymore, and blisters on my hands are no big deal, it's still okay to pack my luggage, let's put on the sheets first."

In the past few times, because of the bad smell of the quilt, she was a little reluctant to sleep, and she didn't sleep well. This time, she simply brought the quilt from home to use.

Ji Mingmei hurried forward to help, "Dad, go ahead and pack your clothes, I'll make the bed."

Thinking of Mina's ugly face during the meal just now, Ji Mingmei said:
"I don't know if Mina's house is enough to live in. When we passed by, it didn't look like we could have two rooms."

Ji Anzhi didn't worry about them, "There are not enough rooms and you can make a bed on the floor. Anyway, there is no place to sleep. The thatched cottage looks like it won't leak, right?"

This is really a terrible thing, Ji Mingmei looked incredible.

"No way, is the show crew so cruel? Find a leaky house for the guests to live in?"

While putting the pillow core into the pillowcase, Ji Anzhi said without any surprise:
"Don't the audience just like to watch these? If it happens to catch up with the heavy rain, the guests will be in such a mess, worrying about getting things wet and having to repair the house, isn't it very interesting."

Huo Wanjun took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "The weather forecast shows that there will be thunderstorms in the evening."

Although the thunderstorms in summer don’t last long, they are usually thunderous and violent. Living in a thatched cottage is still very scary.

Ji Anzhi said calmly: "It shouldn't be possible to blow the house down, and there is still a possibility of rain leakage."

Ji Mingmei tidied up the quilt, and said doubtfully:
"Then shall we remind in advance? So that they won't be in a hurry."

Huo Wanjun saw his daughter's tired face, so he couldn't bear her to make another trip.

"Don't worry about it. You and your mother take a nap first to refresh your spirits. I'll tell them that there is still an oilcloth in the shed where we pile up firewood. I think they need it. I'll send it to them. .”

Although Huo Wanjun is used to being superior, he is not impersonal.
