Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Chapter 329 That Winter Solstice

Yuan Lai told Qi Rong about his concerns, wanting to know if Qi Rong had any other way to leave as quickly as possible.

"Normally, dreams are usually very short, but the flow of time in my dream is the same as in the real world. If I wait until I get out, won't I be in my seventies or eighties?! Forget about my diploma, even my life will be ruined!"

Qi Rong showed off the beautiful bracelet on his wrist and stared at it for a long time before saying, "You can use your favorite thing in real life to prick your Baihui acupoint."

Favorite thing?

She doesn't usually have anything she likes?

As he thought about it, Yuan Lai couldn't help but take out the gold hairpin.

Qi Rong pulled up his clothes and carefully hid the bracelet, but when he looked up, he saw Yuan Lai gesturing with a hairpin on her head.

"Baihui acupoint, I remember it's on the top of my head, but I don't know the exact location. What if I pierce the wrong point? Will I die in my sleep?"

Qi Rong's mouth curled up, and he naturally took the hairpin, parted Yuan Lai's hair, and gently pierced the Baihui acupoint, "I will not let you die."

"That's hard to say." Yuan Lai pressed his finger against the spot where Qi Rong had stabbed him, feeling rather aggrieved. "I'm mentally strong even before I go crazy."

"Let's go out and take a look now." Qi Rong smiled and pulled Yuan Lai up.

The two walked out of the room and onto the path in the field. They saw that the field was empty and some seeds were faintly visible in the soil.

Yuan Lai picked up his cell phone. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

"The effect is immediate! If I prick a few more times, will it be effective in one go?"

Qi Rong touched Yuan Lai's head and asked, "Aren't you afraid of stabbing yourself to death now?"

Yuan Lai dodged Qi Rong's hand and said, "Just talk, why are you touching me?"

"Yuan Lai! Yuan Lai!" Hong Bao ran wildly on the road and started to greet Yuan Lai from a distance.

Yuan Lai smiled and squatted down, holding the red envelope in his arms, "You've gained weight."

Hong Bao twisted and turned in Yuan Lai's arms. "How am I fat? I only eat three meals a day."

"If you don't eat three meals a day, how many more meals can you eat?" Yuan Lai asked.

Hong Bao blinked his eyes and said, "At least eight meals a day. It would be even better if there were chicken legs to eat."

"You're dreaming, but can they eat chicken drumsticks every day?"

Hongbao jumped off Yuan Lai guiltily and ran away wagging his tail.

Qi Rong looked at Hong Bao's back and fell into deep thought, "This dog has a lot of luck."

"What chance?"

Qi Rong smiled and shook his head, without directly answering Yuan Lai's question.

After greeting Jiang Dunhao and Zhao Yibo in the field, Yuan Lai entered the yard and found Lu Zhuo frying steamed buns in the kitchen.

A lot has changed in just half a month. The dilapidated kitchen can now take on the responsibility of feeding everyone.

It seems that she missed some important moments: but it has nothing to do with her. Her only task now is to kill people and make sure that it is not in vain.

Room 1 was emptied, the floor filled with cement and sand. Li Hao, Zhao Xiaotong, Wang Yiheng, and He Haonan were mixing the cement, working with Li Gengyun to lay the floor tiles.

"After you finished planting the land, you started to do the renovations?"

"Yes, to improve the living environment."

Yuan Lai shook his head secretly. "You guys only shoot for half a year. After that, the production crew will leave, and this place will have to be demolished. Why bother?"

"Then you can live here as long as you can. This house is too shabby."

According to Yuan Lai's observation, these ten people were divided into three groups. Li Gengyun, Li Hao, Wang Yiheng and Zhao Xiaotong were responsible for house decoration, Lu Zhuo, Zhuoyuan and Chen Shaoxi were responsible for building greenhouses in the fields, and Jiang Dunhao, Zhao Yibo and He Haonan were responsible for raising poultry.

It was becoming even more impossible for Yuan Lai to defeat them one by one. Furthermore, with the lack of interaction for half a month, Yuan Lai's understanding of them had also decreased accordingly.

It seemed as if God was playing a joke on her, issuing death orders while at the same time restraining her actions.

She could only sigh and look at the hairpin.

"Director, today is the Winter Solstice. We're going to make dumplings. Do you need the production crew to make them? Let's celebrate the Winter Solstice together!"

"No, that would be too much. You can just pack your own food, and we can just buy frozen food."

The task of buying dumplings fell on Yuan Lai.

The storage place is naturally her refrigerator.

She rode her electric bike back to report and saw Jiang Dunhao kneading dough, Zhao Yibo rolling out dough, Zhuo Yuan making dumplings, and Zhao Xiaotong preparing vegetables in the kitchen.

"Pi Ya Zi, in our place it means onion."

“Thin skin, big filling.”

"Yuan Lai is back! Let's make dumplings together!"

Yuan Lai parked the car, washed his hands, and joined the dumpling-making team.

"How many do you want?"

"These big dumplings should be at least twelve per person. I think at least 120."

That's quite a lot, and it takes a lot of time to pack. Besides, it's too cold outside, and my hands are frozen red.

Yuan Lai knew nothing about making dumplings and could only roughly make them into a crescent shape.

Zhao Yibo couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Come on, Yuan Lai, Zhuo Yuan, let's discuss this. Look, this is how I wrap it. I close it first, then press it with my tiger's mouth. It's faster this way."

They continued wrapping like this until the evening, and Lu Zhuo and Zhao Xiaotong started cooking in advance.

"Brother, Xiaotong, what are we eating today?" Jiang Dunhao was full of anticipation.

"Brother, I'll make some braised pork."

Zhao Xiaotong replied, "Mine is simple, stewed vegetables, mixed celery, and three fresh vegetables."

"Okay, it's a feast for us."

The setting sun was shining brightly, and the sky was filled with red clouds. Yuan Lai stood in front of the door of Room 3, holding a red envelope. "Look at this sun. Does it look like the hair on your body?"

Hongbao licked his paw and said, "Then I still think my fur looks better."

"The guy who makes the fire is a professional."

"Hey, I'm the best at making fire! Let's see whose fire is bigger!"

"Let's compete, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Look how brightly my fire burns!"

"It's obviously my anger!"

"Ah ah ah"

"Ah ah ah"

Chen Shaoxi and Wang Yiheng sat in front of the stove, responsible for making the fire for the banquet.

The red envelopes were not a big deal, "You'll get used to it."

Yuan Lai nodded. "After a month together, we've become familiar with each other and are starting to get more polite."

"Brothers! Time to eat dumplings!"

Yuan Lai put Hong Bao back into the cage. Hong Bao looked confused and said, "No, didn't you hear me? We're eating dumplings outside! I want to eat dumplings, why did you lock me up?"

Yuan Lai just laughed, "I locked you up just because we're going to eat dumplings. We didn't make many to begin with, what would they eat if you ate them?"

Even as he mercilessly closed the door, he could still hear Hong Bao's wailing, "Yuan Lai! Let me out!"

When Yuan Lai got the dumplings from home and came to the kitchen, his brothers were wolfing down the dumplings next to him, leaving the kitchen empty.

A pretty young lady cleaned the pot quickly, added water, and cooked a large pot of dumplings.

Each member of the program team was given a small plastic bowl filled with their favorite dipping sauce, and lined up to get dumplings from the pot.

"Everyone line up, everyone gets a share."

Yuan Lai and another staff member temporarily became canteen aunties.

The dumplings were put into the pot in batches until there were bags all over the floor.

The weather was very cold and the dumplings got cold immediately after they came out of the pot, but everyone enjoyed eating them.

Looking at the staff members in the yard, the brothers shouted, "Thank you for your hard work! Happy Winter Solstice!"

Yuan Lai lived nearby, so he took the initiative to stay and take charge of the cleaning work.

Lu Zhuo brought over an induction cooker and said, "You haven't left yet, Yuan Lai."

"I'm leaving after I take out the trash. What are you doing?"

"I'll cook some glutinous rice balls. Some of my brothers are from the south, and it's their custom to eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice. Zhuo Yuan and I went out to buy some."

Lu Zhuo turned around to plug in the stove. Yuan Lai quietly took out the hairpin. She was alone, but this was a good opportunity for her.

Just as Yuan Lai was getting closer and closer to Lu Zhuo and Jin Zan was about to attack, Lu Zhuo suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, you're the only one at home, right? We can't finish all the dumplings, so I'll make you a bowl later."

Yuan Lai's hand in his pocket fell silently, and he replied, "Thank you, second brother."

"You're welcome. We're all family."
