Reincarnated! My Parents and Brothers Beg for My Forgiveness Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Weeding

After Yu Su and the others had eaten and rested for a while, a staff member sent over the mission card. They probably wanted to wait for Yu Ruo’s team, but the progress of that team was really too slow.

Yu Su took the mission card and quickly read it, understanding the main content of today’s recording.

It was probably because Director Lin had taken into account that everyone had just come into contact with farm work and did not a.s.sign too difficult missions. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that if the tasks were too difficult, they might end up causing more trouble rather than helping them.

The mission Yu Su and the others received was to help the elders in the village weed the fields.

This village was relatively remote. There were not many young laborers left in the village, so many old people who were already old and could not walk still had to go farming.

It just so happened that they, the guests who had come to record the show, could help to complete what they could.

The production team had already divided the fields. For every plot of gra.s.s they plucked, they could exchange it for a vegetarian dish. After removing three plots of gra.s.s, they could choose any of the meat prepared by the production team. However, they had to complete the quant.i.ty set by the production team within a day. If they missed one plot of gra.s.s, the acc.u.mulated ingredients would be deducted. And if they completed the a.s.signed task first, they could choose the food first.

Yu Su felt that such a setup was very fair. They would get more if they did more, and they would get less if they did less.

The others did not have any objections. Hence, while Yu Ruo and Ye Chang were still struggling to fetch water, Yu Su’s team had already followed the production team to a field near the mountain in the village.

As far as Yu Su could see, it was green. Many of the crops were weeds, and the seedlings of the crops were almost completely covered by the weeds.

If it was not cleared in time, it would indeed have a huge impact on the harvest. However, it was very difficult to clean up the fields during the season when weeds grew rapidly.

Yu Su took the gloves that the production team had prepared. There was so much gra.s.s that she could not see the seedlings. She could only slowly pull them out with her hands. If she used tools, it would be very easy to hurt the newly grown seedlings.

The staff also brought people from the village who specialized in taking care of the crops. After Yu Su and the other three were ready, they taught them how to distinguish between weeds and seedlings. They reminded them repeatedly not to remember wrongly. The farmers were very serious about the fields, so they taught them very carefully.

The few of them also focused their attention and carefully memorized the appearance of the seedling, afraid that they would pluck it wrongly later.

Everything was ready, and the group went back to work.

“Two of you girls, don’t push yourself too hard. If you’re tired later, take a proper rest.”

Xiao Han squatted down casually. As he carefully separated the weeds and seedlings, he reminded the two girls.

He had just tried to pull out a few stalks of gra.s.s. Although he was wearing gloves, he could not avoid the pain of his hand being strangled by the gra.s.s. Even he was like this, let alone a girl’s delicate hand.

When Ding Chen heard this, he nodded in agreement. Yu Su had taken on the responsibility of cooking and they could only be simple a.s.sistants. Now that there was work that relied on strength, they definitely had to take on more responsibility.

Yu Su smiled gratefully at the two of them. She was well aware of their good intentions, so she did not reject them. However, her hands were not idle at all. She focused on uprooting the weeds. Some of the weeds were rooted deeper, and she still needed to dig some soil with her hands to pull them out.

This job looked easy, but it was actually a test of patience and stamina. Not long after, one’s legs and waist would not be able to take it because they had to keep squatting.

Fortunately, the few of them could endure hards.h.i.+p and persevere. Each of them completed a ridge themselves seriously, and the staff beside them quickly registered the number.

As time pa.s.sed, the sun became hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat fell to the ground.

In the beginning, Meng Xi could still talk to Yu Su while working. Now, she has also shut up. Only her hands kept moving mechanically as she pulled up the weeds one by one.

Yu Su’s physical fitness was relatively good, but she actually felt that it was extremely difficult to endure. She could not help but admire the farmer who was focused on farming. He often had to stay in the field for the entire day. For lunch, he would sit in the field and casually eat two mouthfuls of the rice he had brought in the morning or the dry bread he bought.

After they had finished two more ridges, Yu Ruo’s group appeared.

Yu Ruo and Ye Chang were dressed normally. They were both in sportswear, but Yu Ruo was wearing wide sungla.s.ses. No matter how one looked at it, he didn’t look like he was here to do farm work.

Yu Miao, who was behind Yu Ruo, simply made Yu Su’s jaw drop.
