Jiang Baizhi looked at Qu Qingdai who was staring at her closely. After a while, she slowly said, "Sister, you see, it's the busy farming season now. I was wondering, do you want to cooperate with me?" Jiang Baizhi frowned slightly, with an earnest look on her face, and her eyes flashed with anticipation, as if she had countless words she wanted to say.

She continued, "In the morning, you can help me go fishing, and in the afternoon I will help you pick corn. What do you think, sister?" At this moment, her eyes were full of anticipation, her brows were slightly furrowed, with a little worry, as if she was afraid that Qu Qingdai would reject her proposal.

Qu Qingdai listened to her suggestion and smiled imperceptibly. Just like in her previous life, Jiang Baizhi proposed mutual cooperation. In her previous life, she only wanted to treat her sister well, so she agreed to her request and helped her complete her task. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Jiang Baizhi said that she was not feeling well and could not help, and acted very apologetically. She believed her lies. In the end, she only completed half of the task, and the fee she received was the lowest among all the guests. She was scolded by many netizens, while Jiang Baizhi went to the market to sell fish despite being sick that day, and received a series of compliments. What she could not understand the most was the fishing pond. There were inexplicably many fish. The two of them completed three days' task in one morning, which made Jiang Baizhi very relaxed in the next two days. The audience sighed that she was lucky and her fans were increasing rapidly.

Thinking of this, Qu Qingdai nodded slightly, a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a barely perceptible alienation. She said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to complete it independently. Although the rules don't explicitly say that we can't cooperate, it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd better complete it myself." After that, she turned and walked out the door, leaving Jiang Baizhi standing there, looking at her departing back, a trace of unwillingness in her eyes.

At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room also expressed their attitudes.

[Wow, Miss Jiang is going to cook. I can’t wait to see her!]

[Hahaha, I suddenly realized that Chao Yan Da Da and Bai Shao are quite funny. ]

[To be frank, although Mr. Bai's words may be harsh, he speaks his mind. I like people like him.]

[By the way, why do I feel like Lin Zhirou wants to isolate Qu Qingdai with Jiang Baizhi? ]

[Don't talk nonsense upstairs. Rourou and Xiaozhi know each other well. It's normal for them to go out together. Don't slander them...]

[By the way, isn't Qu Qingdai a bit aloof? She doesn't say a word and doesn't fit in. She wasn't even happy when Xiao Zhi asked her out. Humph...]

[What's wrong with the pretty lady being a little aloof? Besides, this is an individual mission, so cooperation is a violation!]

[The rules don't say we can't cooperate, but I think Jiang Baizhi is absolutely right. This is called outsmarting!]

[Haha, if the production team doesn't acknowledge it, it will be more trouble than it's worth!]

[I won’t say any more. I’m going to switch screens to watch my livestream on my wall. Bye~]

[Ahhh, I'm going too, I'm going too, let's increase the traffic! ]

After Qu Qingdai left, she walked to Grandma Li's house with ease, knocked gently on the door, and called inside, "Is Grandma Li there? I'm the one sent by the program team to help you pick corn. Please open the door for me."

"Hey, my daughter, here you are. Wait a moment." Grandma Li put down the bamboo basket in her hand after hearing the voice, wiped her hands on her clothes, and walked towards the door.

Grandma Li opened the door and saw a beautiful girl standing there. Her fair skin was as delicate as white jade, and her bright eyes sparkled like stars. Grandma Li's eyes lit up and she praised her with joy, "Oh my, this girl is so pretty, just like a lotus just emerging from the water. She is so lovely!"

When Qu Qingdai heard Grandma Li's compliment, her face flushed. She lowered her head slightly, revealing a shy smile, and then said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Li. You are too kind."

"Okay, okay, my daughter, please come into the house first. Grandma is preparing a bamboo basket to put the corn in. I will go to the field to pick corn after I finish packing. Please sit for a while, my daughter." Grandma Li said as she welcomed Qu Qingdai into the house.

"Okay, Grandma Li, let me help you clean up." Qu Qingdai walked in quickly and helped Grandma Li pack the bamboo baskets in a professional manner. In her previous life, she came to see Grandma Li in the afternoon. By then, Grandma Li had been busy all morning. Not only did she not blame her for being late, but she told her that it was hot this afternoon and asked her to rest in the shade of the trees. It was okay if she picked the corn slowly. At that time, she was still worried about the sick Jiang Baizhi, and her work was a bit careless. As a result, she had not picked much corn recently. In the next two days, she earned the least money from selling corn among the other guests.

"What a good girl you are! Whoever marries you will be blessed." Grandma Li praised again.

"Grandma, you're joking." Qu Qingdai laughed softly. The image of Su Jingmo emerged in her mind. He was tall and straight, with eyes as deep as the stars. His warm gaze seemed to melt her heart. The corners of Qu Qingdai's mouth lifted unconsciously, and she silently added in her heart: This is my blessing.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene and the comments started to flash...

[Wow, Qu Qingdai must be thinking of someone, her smile is so gentle.]

[I agree with the above, this person must be thinking of his sweetheart, woooooo, who is it, draw your sword! ]

[What's going on? Fei Si, my newly acquired wife actually has a dog outside. I'm so sad and crying...]

[I'm jealous, I'm jealous, my beautiful sister has a boyfriend.]

At this time, Jiang Baizhi had already arrived at the pond to prepare for fishing. She packed her fishing gear and stood in front of the camera in the live broadcast room, smiling, her eyes focused and bright, as if shining with her love and familiarity with fishing. She said to the audience: "Dear viewers, fishing is an interesting activity! First, we need to choose a suitable fishing rod and fishing line, and hang the bait on the hook. Then, gently cast the hook into the water. Remember to remain quiet and wait patiently for the fish to bite..."

As Jiang Baizhi spoke, she gestured with her hands, explaining each step in detail. Her voice was clear and melodious, like the gurgling of water. Her expressions were vivid and infectious, allowing the audience to experience the joy of fishing, as if they could see the fish gently biting the bait on the calm water.

She knows that her every move is being watched by the audience. Having read the original novel, she had learned about fishing long before participating in the variety show, which enabled her to talk freely in front of the camera now.

"Dear audience, when fishing, we first need to adjust the rod to the proper length and then arrange the line." Jiang Baizhi skillfully manipulated the rod, her fingers nimbly tangling the line. As she explained, she had already found the perfect spot, securely attached the bait to the hook, and then, gently raising her arm, gracefully tossed the hook into the water. The hook traced a graceful arc through the air before landing in the water, creating ripples.

Afterwards, Jiang Baizhi stared at the water surface intently and continued to explain: "Now we have to wait patiently and pay attention to the movement of the float. When the float sinks or floats obviously, it is a signal that the fish has taken the bait." Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had already seen the fish about to take the bait.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw the female supporting role's skillful technique and left messages on the screen praising her:

[Wow, this girl is amazing! Her fishing moves are so professional!]

[As expected of a wealthy family's daughter, she's so skilled at every step of fishing! ]

[This is so cool! It makes me want to learn how to fish!]

[Xiaozhi's technique is absolutely amazing, so admirable! ]

[Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice! ! ]

For a moment, the barrage was full of praise for Jiang Baizhi, and everyone was deeply attracted by her performance.

At this moment, Jiang Baizhi was thinking that based on her performance just now, the live broadcast room must be full of praise for her. Although her original plan to cooperate with Qu Qingdai and pretend to be sick to harm her failed, fortunately she had made sufficient preparations. With her previous fishing skills, she will definitely gain a group of new fans.

Jiang Baizhi knew full well that catching 20 fish in a single day was an extremely difficult feat. In the original novel, the fake daughter was widely criticized for failing to complete this task. However, she, having traveled through the book, had already stocked the pond with fish that had been starved for several days before the show began. This move undoubtedly greatly increased her chances of completing the task and gave her a certain advantage in the show, making Jiang Baizhi a highly anticipated character in the show.

After helping Grandma Li carefully arrange the bamboo baskets of corn, Qu Qingdai gently lifted one of the larger baskets onto her back. The basket seemed heavy, but Qu Qingdai's steps remained firm and powerful. Following Grandma Li, she followed the winding path through the fields. On either side of the path, golden ears of wheat swayed gently in the breeze, making a subtle rustling sound, as if whispering the joy of a bountiful harvest. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, tinting the earth with a warm golden hue. The distant mountains appeared particularly majestic in the hazy light.

Arriving at the cornfield, Qu Qingdai saw the tall, upright corn stalks, like neatly arranged guards, guarding this fertile land. The emerald green leaves danced in the wind, making a rustling sound that was pleasant to the ears, and the sweet fragrance of the corn was refreshing and delightful.

She put down the bamboo basket, took a deep breath, and then reached out and carefully peeled back the corn leaves, revealing the plump ears. She bent down slightly, steadying the corn stalk with her left hand, and gently broke it with her right, allowing the corn to fall smoothly into her hands. She carefully placed the corn into the bamboo basket, a satisfied smile on her face.

At this time, Grandma Li looked at Qu Qingdai lovingly and said, "My child, you are so delicate and tender. It is really hard for you to do all this farm work. Aren't you tired?"

Qu Qingdai replied with a smile: "Grandma Li, it's not tiring! I find it very interesting to work in this cornfield with you! And I can learn a lot!" As she spoke, she continued to pick corn skillfully.

Grandma Li smiled and said, "You're such a sensible child, just like my own granddaughter. Did you know that when I was young, I was also an expert at farm work?"

Qu Qingdai asked curiously, "Grandma, please tell me some stories about your youth!"

Grandma Li nodded and began to recall every detail of the past. Qu Qingdai listened carefully, exclaiming and laughing from time to time.

As they chatted, they continued to pick corn. The cornfield was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere. The sunlight shone on them, as if covering them with a golden veil.

This scene felt very heartwarming to the audience in the live broadcast room, with comments flashing by, all of which were beautiful words.

【Wow, this picture is so lovely! 】

It was touching to see them getting along so well.

[This heartwarming scene is so healing that it makes my heart melt.]

【I really wish I could be there and feel this warmth.】

[Qu Qingdai and Grandma Li are like grandparents and grandchildren. How enviable.]

【This is the most beautiful moment in life! 】

【…】

Soon, with the joint efforts of Qu Qingdai and Grandma Li, the originally empty bamboo basket was filled with plump corns.

After completing the task, Qu Qingdai walked up to Grandma Li with a smile, gently took Grandma Li's hand and said, "Grandma Li, I'm going to the market now. Thank you for your help today. I will miss you."

Grandma Li looked at Qu Qingdai lovingly, stroked her cheek with her wrinkled hand and said, "Good girl, be careful on the road."

Qu Qingdai nodded, picked up the bamboo basket full of corn, and set off on the road to the market. She walked along the winding path, her figure gradually moving away, but the heartwarming scene of picking corn remained in the audience's heart forever.
