Chapter 13
Team
Yu Su and the other two sat in the back of the aunt’s son’s tractor. Other than the three of them, there were also the watermelons that had just been loaded. The handcart was firmly tied to the back of the tractor with a rope.
Yu Su got into the car and heaved a sigh of relief.
The moment she saw the aunt, she guessed that this was a test given by the production team. However, she was also afraid that she had guessed wrongly. It would have been fine if she was alone, but Meng Xi and Xiao Han had stayed behind with her.
If she was really a woman who was in trouble and delayed other people’s time, causing them to be unable to get their dinner, she would be in deep trouble.
The auntie’s superb acting skills just now really made her think that she had made a mistake in her judgment. However, she could not abandon an old woman and leave her to push the cart herself. Fortunately, she had made the right bet.
The few of them had just gone up the slope when the aunt’s son appeared on time. It must have been arranged by the production team.
The speed of the tractor did not seem fast, but it was still much faster than walking. Soon, they met Ding Chen, who still had not found the transportation tools.
The moment the tractor passed by, Ding Chen understood. He regretted it, but he was too embarrassed to let everyone bring him along. However, he finally understood the production team’s intentions.
On the other side, Ye Chang looked at the darkening sky and could not help but feel anxious.
Shen Chun did not come to an agreement with the production team, but she refused to take half a step forward. This made Ye Chang speechless. For such a person to appear on this show, did the company want to support her or torture her to death?
He kept signaling Yu Miao with his eyes, wanting her to persuade Shen Chun.
“Shen Chun, don’t make things difficult for the director. This is the rule. Xiao Han and the others have been gone for a long time. They might have already arrived. Let’s set off as soon as possible.”
Shen Chun pursed her lips when she heard that. In fact, her heart was pounding. She thought that the production team was just saying it, but they only needed to take a few close-ups of their hard work. She did not expect Director Lin to be so stubborn.
However, it was difficult for her to accept it just like that. Hence, they had been in a deadlock until now.
“Alright, alright. If you want to walk, so be it.” At this moment, Yu Miao gave her a way out, so she could not help but ask Director Lin, “How far is it from here? How long will it take?”
“About four kilometers. If you walk faster, you’ll be there in an hour or so.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Chun almost fell, but she had no choice but to set off quickly.
Yu Su and the others took a tractor and arrived at the village very quickly.
Rows of houses of the same style stood in an orderly manner. Smoke curled up from the chimney and slowly floated into the sky. It was quiet and warm.
The three of them got out of the car and carried the watermelon that the auntie had forcefully stuffed into their hands. They followed the directions posted by the production team in the village and walked towards their residence.
Along the way, they encountered many villagers who were joining the crowd. Yu Su also greeted them kindly, and the villagers would return a kind smile.
In such a kind place, Yu Su’s mood improved a lot.
Their residence was a somewhat old-fashioned courtyard. There was a well in the courtyard, and there was a small vegetable field against the wall. However, the vegetables inside had just sprouted. Clearly, it was not the season for them to be eaten.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was an ancient stone table with their ingredients for tonight.
Yu Su walked over and flipped through it. There were tomatoes, potatoes, rice, spinach, vegetables, fish, beef, tofu, and a small bucket of cooking oil.
Yu Su thought of the director’s words. Each person could only take two types at most. Looking at the food in front of her, it was very difficult for one person to have both dishes and rice. If everyone were to eat together, the portion of each dish would obviously not be enough.
Therefore, the production team did not want them to fight for themselves and did not want everyone to be harmonious.
“Team up?” Yu Su looked at the two people beside her and extended an extremely sincere invitation.
Although she had just met the two people beside her, from their performance just now, they were both not bad, especially Meng Xi, who was cheerful and enthusiastic. On the other hand, Xiao Han seemed to be fine other than being a little sharp-tongued. He was as responsible as he needed to be. It should be the best choice to team up with them.
“Of course I’ll team up with you, but I don’t know how to cook…” Meng Xi agreed happily.
Xiao Han did not refuse. He knew very well that it was useless for him to get the ingredients if he did not form a team. He could not even guarantee that he would be able to cook the food. If he did not go with Yu Su and Meng Xi , would he have to go with that woman, Yu Miao?
At the thought of Yu Miao sweetly calling him “Brother Xiao Han”, he had goosebumps again.
“Alright, I’ll be in charge of cooking later.” Yu Su could tell that neither of them knew how to cook.
The three of them circled the table and discussed for a while before choosing rice, cooking oil, tomatoes, beef, tofu, and spinach.
