Chapter 218 "The tall, pale-faced one, he can't carry it."
Fifteen bags of raw grain had to be loaded onto a truck and transported to the hulling workshop, and then each 100-pound sack had to be carried to the machine.
It was drizzling outside. In the north in winter, the drizzle falling down was like tiny ice chips, which made people shiver.
The seven people stood aside in the rain. Seeing that Brother Yu had already carried a bag of rice into the workshop, they hurried forward to help carry the rice. Unexpectedly, Sister Wang was still worried that they could not carry it and would hurt themselves, so she asked worriedly: "Can you do it?"
If Yu Yu hadn't known from their previous chat that Sister Wang was a straightforward and warm-hearted person, he would have thought that she was mocking and provoking him. Although it sounds not much different from provocation, as soon as these words came out, Wang Yuexin rushed forward as if he had been injected with chicken blood and said that he would be the first to take the responsibility. He wanted to win face for the men of Hunan Province!
When Brother Yu carried away a bag of raw grain, Chen Kesheng climbed onto the tractor silently and pulled the rice out. Before he could pull the rice out of the vehicle, Yu Yu, who was also following him silently, took over and put the raw grain onto Wang Yuexin's back.
Zhang Yuan wanted to help Wang Yuexin hold the rice bag behind him, but Wang Yuexin turned aside and told him to go away: "Your foot is sprained by habit now, don't move. I am a man from Hunan Province, and I want to fight for Hunan Province."
"I'm fine, I can do it!" Zhang Yuan argued. He just sprained his leg, not broke it, and he has recovered a long time ago. Although the doctor did suggest that he take care of his muscles and bones first and try to avoid regular weight bearing, running or climbing in the past six months, but moving rice for a while will not cause any harm!
He has recently been in contact with the rehabilitation coach recommended to him by Yu Yu for rehabilitation. He is confident that even if he sings and dances for a whole concert, he will not have any problems with his feet.
"You can, but your feet can't, stay away." Wang Zhengliang was also worried about his feet, so he asked him to stand aside and let the brothers carry him.
After Wang Yuexin finished moving a bag, he saw Wang Zhengliang carrying a bag as well, so he hurriedly followed behind to hold the bag. The men in the southwest fought for their dignity, so the men in the northwest certainly couldn't back down. In order to avoid being seen by Mr. Su, Su Xing also wore the white down jacket that he said was so expensive that he had worn it for several years, and carried a bag of rice to fight for the men in Qinling.
Now that the men from the southwest and northwest have all come on stage, how can the men from the Central Plains sit still? Lu Hu turned his back, bent over, stuck out his butt, and raised his hands behind him: "Come on, Yu Yu, give the men from the Central Plains a bag too."
Yu Yu, who had picked up the rice that Chen Kesheng had dragged over, turned around and saw Lu Hu's action, and almost laughed out loud: "No, Brother Hu, don't carry it like this, your waist is bent too low, come up a little."
Yu Yu helped Lu Hu correct his movements so that he could carry the rice more comfortably, then he put the rice on his back and cheered him on: "The men of the Central Plains are like tigers descending from the mountains!"
"Awoo--" In order to show his might as a Central Plains tiger, Lu Hu let out a howl, but the sound didn't sound like that of a tiger. Instead, it sounded like the whimpering of a wolf cub, which made Zhang Yuan and Wang Zhengliang, who were following behind him and supporting him, almost laugh to death. Fortunately, he was still quite strong.
Wang Yuexin had already started carrying the second bag of rice. At this time, half of the rice on the car was gone. Seeing this, Yu Yu called Chen Tansheng to help pile the rice bags beside the car for easy access. Then he jumped out of the car, picked up a bag of rice and joined the ranks of those who brought honor to various regions.
"Wow, this foreign friend, the young master of the Bull Fighting Kingdom, has also begun to win face for the country." If the camera hadn't been filming, Su Xing would have wanted to make a joke that the future Grand Duke Alaric was actually carrying rice in the countryside of Wuchang in the northeast of the Porcelain Kingdom. This down-to-earth painting style looked too beautiful. Sure enough, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Bull Fighting Kingdom and the Porcelain Kingdom depended on Yu Yu.
"Bullfighting man, bullfighting man, there is a red flag in front of you!" Land Rover cheered on the side.
Yu Yu felt something was wrong when he heard this. He put down the rice bag and smiled speechlessly: "Ber, am I the bullfighting or the bull being fought?"
"You are not the bull being fought, you are the bull and horse doing the work," said Wang Zhengliang.
Yu Yu thought that Brother Xiao Liang’s joke was not too bad, so he added: “Okay, my ox and horse will not move bricks but will continue to move rice.”
"In that case, the men in the Central Plains won't be convinced either. They want another bag." Land Rover followed closely behind.
Chen Xisheng, a man from the South China Sea, was still on the cart helping other brothers carry the rice. However, since Yu Yu and he had already piled all the rice beside the cart, it was easy to stand them up one by one.
And Yu Yu's long-term fitness training was not in vain. He was the youngest and strongest among the brothers. He was nimble and carried the rice on his back and ran four times by himself. Seeing this, Sister Wang could not help but nod her head repeatedly and whispered with Brother Yu, saying that these young and handsome guys looked fair and clean, but they were all capable of taking on things.
"It's the other tall guy with the pale face. He can't carry it."
Yu Yu, who had just dropped a bag of rice and was about to go back for the fifth run, accidentally heard the low voice and blinked. In order not to embarrass his elder sister and elder brother, he quietly left the workshop, turned around and saw Zhang Yuan working hard with Chen Qiansheng to put rice on Wang Yuexin's body beside the car. He felt that he had a label of "tall" on one side of his head and a label of "pale face" on the other side, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhang Yuan looked at Yu Yu in confusion, who was laughing so hard that it disturbed everyone when he saw him. Although he didn't understand what he was laughing at, his avian instinct told him that it was definitely not a good thing, so the slightly puffed up bird came to Chen Kesheng angrily without saying a word: "I'll take the next bag, laugh at me, humph, I can handle it too, humph."
Su Xing said, seemingly jokingly but actually admonishingly: "Sometimes you don't have to be so resistant, okay?"
"Are you sure?" Chen Xinsheng asked with some concern and amusement when he saw him like this.
"I want it!"
"Yuanyuan, don't do that!" Wang Zhengliang also disagreed with Zhang Yuan moving the rice.
The "culprit" Yu Yu was not as worried as they were. He had asked the rehabilitation coach before, and the coach said that Zhang Yuan's condition had stabilized a lot. As long as he didn't do strenuous exercise regularly, and occasionally did some heavy work, such as running and fitness, it would be fine. So he encouraged him and said, "It's okay, Brother Yuan, you can do it. Just this one bag will bring honor to the men of Anhui Province. Is the title of King Kong Barbie just for nothing?"
"Ni Zuokai."
Wang Zhengliang was helpless: "Xiaoyu, you are provoking him."
A certain fish grinned: "Okay, I'll walk away from where I was just now and come to your side, let's walk." Yu Yu directly helped Zhang Yuan hold the rice bag with both hands.
"...You are really annoying." A certain bird complained about others, but its body moved forward obediently and delivered the rice to the workshop. Without its knowledge, it proved that it was not the tall bird that could not carry a hundred kilograms of rice and its face turned pale.
With the concerted efforts of seven people, all the rice was moved into the workshop. The next step was to start the shelling machine, but the machine suddenly malfunctioned and there was no response when the switch was turned on, which made Sister Wang unable to help but scold them for failing at the critical moment.
Chen Xinsheng called the others out to give them some space to deal with the matter, and then went to a small room nearby to sit for a while, warming himself by the fire while waiting for the machine to be repaired.
After entering the room, they sat on the kang and basked in the sun. Their cold bodies after being wet in the rain finally felt a little warmer. They couldn't help but admire these native Northeastern farmers. They were wrapped up tightly but still felt a little cold, while the eldest brother and sister didn't seem to be wearing much and didn't feel that cold at all.
Zhao Hao looked at the seven people huddled in the small room for warmth, and couldn't help but sigh that he really didn't expect that they could actually carry in the dozen or so bags of rice weighing hundreds of pounds.
"I tell you, if it weren't for this camera recording, I really might not be able to carry it in." Land Rover pointed at the camera and smiled honestly.
"That's right. With the camera here, we have to carry the rice in even if we have to kneel down." None of the top three in Chang'an have ever done such physical work.
"If you can't make it in, Mr. Su will probably call you overnight and tell you not to go back to Chang'an." Wang Yuexin teased.
Zhang Yuan, who had a cold body, was fully revived after basking in the sun for a while, but he still couldn't figure out why Yu Yu suddenly looked at him and laughed: "Seriously, Yu Yu, why did you laugh just now?"
"Because I thought of something funny." Yu Yu answered honestly. He was not joking, he really thought of Sister Wang's complaints and couldn't hold back.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan didn't believe his nonsense. He stared at Yu Yu with a disgusted and speechless expression, and his eyes must have been full of dirty curses.
Then Yu Yu started to tell real lies. After all, he couldn’t be scolded for nothing, right?
"I laughed at how handsome our Brother Yuan is. He is tall and has a fair complexion. Even in the drizzle and with a ferocious expression while pulling a sack, he still exudes a heroic charm. Is this the strength and aura of the first generation male team leader, ACE?"
It was clearly a compliment, but when it came out of Yu Yu's mouth in a sticky tone, Zhang Yuan felt his toes digging into the ground. Even the little sun couldn't save his frostbitten spirit. He simply covered his ears with a painful expression: "Ahhh, shut up!"
"Hiss——" Su Xing couldn't help but gasp, "Mr. Yu, how on earth can you say such words in such a calm and rhythmic way? Is this what your family's aristocratic elite education taught you?"
While the guys were laughing and talking trash, Da Linlin, who was watching the progress of the repairs outside, thought that the afternoon shoot couldn't be delayed because of the temporary machine failure, so he asked Sister Wang what other work she could do to get these guys involved in, besides the rice-making process.
Sister Wang thought about it and said that it was not the busy farming season now. Winter was her most leisurely time. Generally, she had nothing special to do except sitting by the fire at home. If she had to say something, it was that she was going to sell rice at the Qiao Mansion factory in town. However, there was nothing interesting about it. She just had to haul the rice over by truck and wait for the Qiao Mansion to inspect and accept it.
"It's okay. The Qiao Mansion is also a leading enterprise in our area. We should support the economic development of local enterprises. Big sister, can you wait a while before going to sell rice? Let's contact the factory over there to see if we can go inside to shoot a segment. If possible, you can find a few people to go with you then." Da Linlin discussed and arranged the brothers' work for the afternoon.
"Of course, it's just a small matter." Sister Wang agreed immediately.
Not long after, the program team contacted the Qiao family. Filming the program was a form of publicity, so the other party naturally agreed. Sister Wang walked into the house and interrupted the brothers who were chatting animatedly, saying that she was going to the Qiao family to sell rice and see if anyone among them could go with her.
You guys look at me, I look at you, Su Xing and Wang Yuexin just fell in love with each other. This is a separate side quest, so how can we miss the mask brothers who played as junglers in the first season?
But at this moment, a "third party" suddenly came and interfered without knowing what was good for him.
"If I go over there to sell rice, do I need to drive?" Yu Yu raised her hand and asked obediently.
"The Qiao family will send a truck to load the rice, but there won't be enough space for many people to sit on the truck. You can just drive your truck aboard."
Their car? Su Xing and Wang Yuexin looked at each other.
Su Xing: Can you drive a manual transmission car?
Wang Yuexin: Can you?
"Then Yu Yu/Xiao Yu, come with us." They said in unison.
"Okay, driver Xiao Yu is not happy to serve you."
