Chapter 123: The Favorite Member Of Our Team
On Ling Sheng’s side, they only ate seven pounds of potatoes in the morning.
Crazy! Team Red opposite them brought a total of fifteen pounds of potatoes. They ate two meals of boiled potatoes and dipped them in salt and chili.
After breakfast, he came to find them. Upon seeing the leftover potato strips on their table, he took care of them quickly like a bandit. When he was finished, his eyes teared up.
Yu Bei was moved to tears by the authentic sweet and sour potato strips. He did not know if it was because he had been hungry the whole day, but he found them delicious. “Can I choose to change teams?”
Ling Sheng was very straightforward. Other than Cheng Ye, she shot a look at everyone in the crowd. “Sure! I’ll exchange one of our team members for you as long as your teammates agree.”
Ji Fanchen was very cooperative. “I can give you the small one.”
“Okay.”
“Little Ye, you can change places with Yu Bei then. Come join our team!” Jiang Yi teased him, as his younger brother was really amusing.
Oh my!
He wanted to cry!
Cheng Ye bit his lips, his eyes teary and his heart aching terribly. Was he that useless? Was he being belittled? Mummy, I don’t want to do this variety show anymore! I want to go home!
In the end, it was Su Yi who could not stand it anymore. “They’re lying to you for fun, but you mistook it for reality. Why are all of you so evil? Why are you all making fun of him?”
Look, they had made her younger brother cry.
Cheng Ye turned to look at his brothers and sisters in grievance.
Upon seeing his pitiful expression, Shi Lingyu went over to hug him. “I lied to you.”
Ling Sheng nodded and smiled. “How could I not want you? You’re the team’s favorite member. No one can abandon you.”
“Okay.” Ji Fanchen felt a little guilty. It was too easy to be serious when one was young, but it would be better if they did not lie to him in the future.
Cheng Ye whispered, “I’m obviously the bullying target of the team!”
For every pound of potatoes he ate, he dug up 100 pounds of potatoes.
While Ling Sheng brought Cheng Ye over, Team Red sent two men. Jiang Yi, Yu Bei, Su Yi, and Chu Zhian stayed at home to wait for orders.
Before leaving, Ling Sheng even considerately applied sunblock on Cheng Ye and gave him a hat.
Cheng Ye, who was moved to tears, vowed to perform well and work hard to earn money. He could not let his brothers and sisters think that he only knew how to eat and laze around.
The strength of each side was different. The two men in Team Red were strong. The strongest players of Team Blue were Ling Sheng and Cheng Ye, who were only equal to them. However, they ate a lot and thus had to dig a lot. Their progress was about the same.
Beside the potato field was a piece of chili-planted land. The chili peppers there grew in abundance.
Ling Sheng and Yu Bei sat together in the ditch to rest, using the chili shoots to block the sun.
Feeling really bored, Ling Sheng plucked a big pepper and sniffed it.
“Brother Bei, do you think this chili pepper is spicy?”
“You’ll know once you try it.”
“I have a suggestion. Whoever loses will eat a chili pepper, okay?”
“Loses what?”
“Let’s see who’ll win if we dig up potatoes!”
“Okay!”
She acted like she was filming a pair of extremely childish people. However, they actually went to dig for potatoes, all the while sweating profusely. Are both of you children?
The sun was so big that she couldn’t take it anymore. She wanted to go back and rest as soon as possible. The two of them had worked the whole morning but still had the energy to play. She had no choice but to admire the young man’s energy.
Both of them were very important actors. While they were busy digging for potatoes, they were mumbling incoherently, attracting the surrounding peasants, uncles, and aunties.
In the end, Yu Bei’s harvest was 50% greater than Ling Sheng’s.
Yu Bei smiled delightedly. “Let’s eat!”
Ling Sheng took a bite, her throat boiling from the spiciness. She appeared very calm as she nodded. “These are sweet peppers. They’re so sweet! They’re as delicious as fruit! Want to have a try?”
