Chapter 24 Shocked
"It's them, please invite them in!"

The old man's voice came from the house again.

When everyone entered the house, they saw an old peasant woman drying rice.

"You guys sit down first while I finish drying the rice."

The old man spread the rice back and forth with a wooden rice drying pole.

The other three people found a place to sit down, but Shen Mian walked to the old man's side and helped the old woman to carry out the rice and finish drying it.

"Thank you, little girl."

The old lady wiped the sweat from her forehead and said gratefully.

Everyone was sitting or standing bored, but this little girl was enthusiastic and knew how to step forward to help.

"Actually, I don't have much to do, and I am very strong. It doesn't take much effort to lift these things."

Shen Mian said with a smile.

"Grandma, are you and your two children the only ones at home?"

Shen Mian then asked.

Shen Mian knew that most young people in rural areas had gone out to work, and those who stayed were mostly old people and children. If she guessed wrong, the children's parents should have gone out to work, and only came back once during the Chinese New Year.

"And my old man, my son and daughter-in-law have gone out to work. You know there is no way out here and we can't make much money. Only when we go out can the children's tuition fees be paid."

The old lady's expression was a little down, but she recovered quickly.

"Sister, please. Please drink water."

The little girl's timid voice sounded in Shen Mian.

Shen Mian lowered his head and saw the girl's skinny hands holding a white porcelain bowl filled with water, looking at her timidly.At that moment, Shen Mian's heart was particularly touched.Especially the look in the little girl's eyes made Shen Mian feel strange and familiar, but Shen Mian couldn't remember where she saw this scene.

"Thank you, little sister."

Shen Mian smiled and took the white porcelain bowl from the little girl's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

As expected of mountain spring water, it is sweet and refreshing. If it is used to make soup, it will definitely taste good.

The little girl didn't expect Shen Mian to thank her, and she blushed so shyly that she ran back to her brother.

This sister was different from the other sisters. She was very gentle to her and even smiled at her. She liked this little sister so much.

The little girl's thoughts are very simple. Whoever treats her well will be kept in mind.

"Shen Mian, what did grandma say? Did she ask us to do anything?"

Zhou Ya sat on the stone bench and asked impatiently.

How long had it been, and she still wanted to finish the task quickly so that she could have time to get some beauty sleep when she got back.Otherwise, her skin would not be able to withstand the sun's rays all afternoon.

"No, but it should be quick."

Of course, Shen Mian could tell that Zhou Ya's tone was impatient, but the camera was still on, so she didn't dare to have an attack on the spot.

"Excuse me, are you four doing the mission?"

The old lady had finished drying the rice and came over and asked.

"Yes, just the four of us."

Ji Shiyu replied politely.

The old woman looked at the other three people up and down. They were all tender-skinned and tender. They must have been pampered by the family and rarely worked.

"Then come with me and put on the hood and gloves."

The old lady led the four people to an old utility room, picked up the headscarf and gloves and distributed them.

Hey, these gloves can still be used!They were all dirty and had a few cuts.When Zhou Ya saw the gloves she got in her hands, she immediately felt disgusted. Why is this family so poor that they don't even have the money to buy gloves?
But everyone got the same amount, but no one else said anything else.

"You can make do with these."

The old lady saw the displeasure on Zhou Ya's face and could only say sorry.

"What's going on with that woman Zhou Ya? She looks like she needs a beating."

"Yes, this may be the best thing I have."

"I just came back from the live broadcast room opposite. It's completely different! Don't let some people be ungrateful."

The audience's eyes are sharp and they can clearly see everyone's little moves.

Before going out, the grandma told her grandson to keep an eye on her sister at home and not to run around.Then he led the group of people for three kilometers to the cornfield.

"Your mission today is here."

The old lady pointed to a cornfield in front of her, her expression showing pride that could be seen by others.

"Ah, why is it related to corn again?"

I'm really speechless, it's endless, right? Do rural people have to rely on corn to survive?No wonder I have been poor all my life!
Zhou Ya felt extremely contemptuous at this moment.

"It seems that our group has a connection with corn."

As soon as Zhou Ya's words came out, Ji Shiyu and Shen Mian both saw that the old woman's face looked a little strange, and Ji Shiyu came out first to explain.

However, Ji Shiyu felt a sense of disgust towards Zhou Ya, who had no good impressions at first. This was the first time he had seen someone with such a negative impression.

"Yes, maybe we will beat Sister Siyao's group. After all, we are veterans."

Shen Mian said jokingly.

Ji Shiyu turned his head and looked at Shen Mian. Suddenly, for a moment, he felt in his heart that Shen Mian seemed to understand him very well.

The old lady looked at Shen Mian with satisfaction. This little girl was really nice. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

"Hey, why is there a horse somewhere?"

Jiang Wei, who had not spoken much, pointed to a big tree not far away and said.

Under the big tree, an old brown horse was happily eating the wild grass next to the big tree.

"That's our horse, used to carry corn home."

This old horse is the loyal right-hand man of the old Yang family. It relies on this horse to transport the harvest home every year.

"So this is ah."

This was the first time Jiang Wei saw horses being used to move things. In his current impression, things were usually transported home by machines.

"Old lady, are you here?"

While we were chatting, suddenly an old voice came from the corn bush not far away. It seemed that it was the old lady's wife.

"We're here, old man, come here quickly, I've brought you your favorite scallion noodles."

When the old lady heard her wife's voice, she quickly took out the iron lunch box with noodles and a bottle of ice water in a drink bottle from her backpack.

The corn stalks in the cornfield were moving. Under everyone's attention, the old man slowly walked out carrying a bag full of corn.

Shen Mian noticed that something was wrong with the old man's right leg, so he quickly jumped down from the rocky slope into the corn field and took the corn bag from the old man's shoulder.In full view of everyone, he helped the old man carry the corn up the slope.

Shen Mian put the corn down and saw everyone looking at her with shock in their eyes.

No, isn't it just carrying a bag of corn?Are the expressions of this group of people so shocked?
