The longed-for village system

Chapter 324 The Old Man Goes to the Fields

"Welcome IU, Incheon, and Li Binbin to our program. We also welcome Grandpa to our program. Now, I will announce everyone's tasks for this episode: 1. Help the elderly in the village harvest rice. 2. The children in the village have just started school, and our Mushroom House has prepared new semester gifts for them. Please bring these gifts to the children."

Wang Zhengyu announced the tasks for this period to the group. To be honest, this task was quite difficult. The second task was simple; all they had to do was take the gifts to the school. However, the first task was definitely not easy; they had prepared an entire acre of land for them to harvest.

"Harvesting rice! I haven't been to the fields in a long time. This time, I'll go and experience the rural life I had as a child." The old man expressed his enthusiasm for the first task, and of course, he also looked at Chen Qing and asked for his opinion.

Although he recovered well after Chen Qing's treatment and this period of recuperation, even more so than he had imagined, and he also understood what the so-called surprise Chen Qing had mentioned was, he might still have to listen to Chen Qing's instructions even if he couldn't get out of bed.

Chen Qing naturally noticed the old man's questioning gaze and said discreetly, "Why don't we all go together? There's no sun today, so let's treat it as an autumn outing and breathe in the fresh fragrance of rice paddies."

Hearing Chen Qing's reply, Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and the others were relieved. Since Chen Qing said that the old man would have no problem going to the fields, then there would definitely be no problem.

"Hey! That's great! Today, let's go to the fields with our professor to learn some relevant knowledge." Teacher He said, and began to direct Peng Peng to go inside and get the equipment.

Picking up their tools, the group left the Mushroom House and headed towards the villager's rice paddies. Of course, Zhao Xiaogu, being pregnant, stayed at the Mushroom House to rest.

Amidst the blessings of the crowd and the old man's laughter, the group arrived at the villager's home. The villagers, knowing that the old man had come, all rushed out to greet him. Everyone held this expert, who truly worked for the benefit of the people, in high esteem.

"Holy crap! It really is Grandpa. Is the production team of 'Longing for Life' really that amazing? They can even invite such a big expert."

"Who says otherwise! Although I just watched the live broadcast, it's still unbelievable to see it in person. Grandpa is actually on a variety show, and he's so close to me." "Grandpa looks great! There were rumors before that the old man was unwell and hospitalized, but those are just ridiculous rumors, those unscrupulous media outlets reporting nonsense."

"Exactly, they even dare to report nonsense about my grandfather. These media reporters need to be reformed."

Reporters and media outlets: We were just sitting at home when this mess came out of nowhere. Their previous reports were all true. Who would have thought that such a monster like Chen Qing would appear!

"Hello grandpa!"

Tourists who heard the commotion waved to the old man, but everyone was very considerate and did not crowd or obstruct the filming crew, probably because they were afraid that their crowding would affect the old man's safety.

Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. He was genuinely afraid that the commotion at the scene would affect the old man's safety, otherwise he, Wang Zhengyu, could pack his bags and leave.

The group drove the village's combine harvester to a nearby wheat field and began working. Of course, the work of setting up the harvester was left to Teacher Huang, while the younger ones used sickles to harvest the wheat. The younger sister and IU carried the harvested wheat stalks to a place for later threshing.

The old man held the rice stalks, looked at the rice on them, and nodded. He was very satisfied with the yield. When he got excited, he even took Chen Qing's sickle and cut the rice for a while.

"I'm really getting old. When I was young, I could harvest rice all day without feeling tired, but now I have to rest after working for a while." Looking at the energetic Chen Qing and Peng Peng, the old man sighed on the edge of the field, lamenting the ruthlessness of time.
