Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Ou Su, who was cooking rice noodles, found it amusing and turned around to flick Chen Duo's ear: "So, do you still want to eat rice noodles? You just said that the director's rice noodles must be delicious."

Chen Duo wasn't angry when her ear was flicked. She rubbed her ear and giggled, "Hehe, I want to eat them all. My sister Su's noodles are definitely better than Chi Xing's noodles."

"You're so good with words." Ou Su smiled as she prepared the side dishes and put them into the glass noodles.

Outside the courtyard, Xie Xiuming was on the phone again. He didn't seem interested in food, preferring simple boiled corn and boiled eggs. At this moment, Zhou Wang and Jiang Tu helped him put them in the pot to cook.

"The information from last time must have been wrong. Are you sure Lin An isn't Lin Zong's biological son?" Xie Xiuming's face was expressionless.

"President, we are certain, but we are not sure if he is the young master." The assistant on the other end wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xie Xiuming: "Understood. Go and investigate Jiang Tu. Investigate everything about him from childhood to adulthood, including his relatives."

"President, you suspect that Jiang Tu is..."

"Don't tell your family yet. I will investigate personally and wait until the DNA test results are confirmed before telling them."

They've been searching for so many years; they can't afford any more mistakes.

Chi Xing carried out two bowls of noodles by himself. Shao Yuyan took chopsticks, found a table and chairs, sat down, and started eating.

Watching them eat makes me want to eat too.

[What I really want to eat isn't noodles, hehehe.]

[Didn't anyone notice how well they matched? One was serving noodles, and the other was following behind with chopsticks, hehe.]

The tomato and egg noodles smelled delicious, and Chixing even fried two eggs separately for Shao Yuyan.

After breakfast, it was time for the lottery.

Aside from giving the worst one to Lin An, Akahoshi didn't get involved in the others.

Their group was drawn by Shao Yuyan. Chi Xing opened the lot, which read "Pulling peanuts".

Two girls drew the task of cooking, while the rest drew the task of harvesting rice.

The rice paddies were right next to the peanut fields. Chixing put a straw hat and gloves on Shao Yuyan and they went to the peanut fields together.

Villagers guided them in their work. Akahoshi had done farm work in his previous world, so he was able to pick it up immediately.

But Shao Yuyan had never done farm work before, so this was all unfamiliar to him. Chixing, using the rice paddies nearby as cover, whispered to him, "You just sit here and pick peanuts, I'll pull them out."

Harvesting peanuts is a collaborative effort; some people pull them out, while others pick them. The peanut seedlings are left in the ground to dry and be used as firewood.

Shao Yuyan glanced at the others. The villagers gave those people sickles and led them to the fields.

It had rained last night, and the fields were a bit muddy, but everyone was wearing rain boots.

After the villagers finished explaining, the group bent down to cut the rice.

Shao Yuyan then realized that harvesting rice seemed more tiring than pulling peanuts.

He sat under a parasol with an old lady picking peanuts. They picked them and put them in a basket. Chixing followed the old man in front, bending down to pull them up, and occasionally looking back at Shao Yuyan.

The viewers in the live chat exclaimed that they were shipping them. If it weren't for the comments reminding them, Akahoshi wouldn't have known that he had turned around to look at Ayu many times.

He sighed softly and pulled even harder, hoping that if he finished quickly he could sit down with Ayu and pick peanuts.

The older man next to him smiled and praised him for his competence, while Akahoshi smiled and spoke to him.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Shao Yuyan handing him a bottle of water.

"Drink some water and rest for a while."

Only then did Chi Xing realize that the sun had already risen high in the sky, and large beads of sweat streamed down his cheeks. Shao Yuyan took out a handkerchief and wiped them away for him.

He said to the uncle, "Uncle, you should take a break too. There's water at the aunt's place."

This is the water prepared by the production team, and all the villagers received some.

The peanut field belongs to the couple. Since their children have all gone to work in the city, only the two of them are working this year. With the help of Chixing and Shaoyuyan, they are overjoyed.

"Have you had any?" Chi Xing asked Shao Yuyan, then took a few sips of water himself.

Shao Yuyan shook his head: "Not yet."

After Chi Xing finished drinking, Shao Yuyan readily took the half-finished bottle of mineral water and drank it down.

“This…is what I drank,” Akahoshi reminded him.

Shao Yuyan seemed unconcerned. After finishing his drink, he put it aside and said, "Hmm, I'll pull it with you."

He skipped the topic and bent down to pull peanuts, just like Akahoshi had done earlier.

Just as Chi Xing was about to tell him to sit down, Shao Yuyan spoke first: "Teach me, I can do it too."

Helpless, Chixing had no choice but to demonstrate. Shao Yuyan held a peanut seedling in his hand, and Chixing grasped his hand, pulling him up with force, and the entire peanut plant, along with the fruit at the root, was pulled out.

I shook the peanuts to remove the dirt, then set them aside to wait for me to pick them later.

The warm palms were almost burning hot, and the two were extremely close. Shao Yuyan's ear touched Chixing's cheek, just as the camera turned away.

Akahoshi paused, blushed, and stepped back to continue pulling peanuts.

Half an hour later, Chen Duo came out and called them back to eat.

It was already noon, and the group of people, having done farm work, were both hungry and thirsty.

As soon as Zhou Wang entered the room, he collapsed into a chair. Chen Duo saw their miserable state and was glad that she hadn't been chosen to harvest rice.

"You've worked hard, you'll be able to eat soon."

Chi Xing went outside to fetch water to wash his hands and helped Shao Yuyan take off his gloves, noticing that his palms were red.

"Let's pick peanuts this afternoon, so we don't get blistering."

Shao Yuyan chuckled lightly: "Chixing, I'm a man, not a child."

“Yeah, even kids shouldn’t get hurt.” Akahoshi said matter-of-factly.

As Shao Yuyan watched him wash his gloves, a warm feeling washed over him. So this is how the little bodyguard cares about people.

I hung the clean gloves out to dry in the sun, and they were supposed to be dry by the afternoon. But as soon as I entered the house, I noticed that the atmosphere in the yard was a bit off.

Jiang Tu and Xie Xiuyuan sat on one side, while on the other side sat Chen Duo with slightly red eyes, Ou Su with a cold and stern face, and two other people with unpleasant expressions.

Zhou Wang came in behind Chi Xing, saying, "I'm starving."

Seeing that the group looked unwell, he instinctively asked, "What's wrong?"

Akahoshi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. Then Osu put down a plate of food in his hand and said, "These are the ingredients. If you don't like them, you can cook them yourselves."

She pulled Chen Duo to sit down and said to Chi Xing and the others, "Let's eat. This is all the ingredients we have today."

On the table were two plates of leafy greens, a large bowl of tomato and egg drop soup, and a plate of stir-fried pork, which was considered quite a feast on a farmhouse table.

Commentator 250: [When the two people came in and saw Chen Duo carrying two plates of vegetables, Lin An started to get angry.]

"Okay, I won't eat, you guys eat." Lin An turned and went back to her room, and Feng Wuyuan followed her.

"Never mind them, we'll eat ourselves." Zhou Wang was starving, and Chen Duo added, "I'll save some food for them, you guys eat first."
