No Party Awareness

After collecting their breakfast, everyone returned to their residences.

Because Meng Chuyuan’s adobe house was far away, it took her more time on the way back than others.

Lu Jinsen woke up in a daze and went to the toilet. After bumping into the morning breeze, the sudden chill woke him up.

He came back and passed by Meng Chuyuan’s room. Only then did he notice that the door was open.

Lu Jinsen slowed down his footsteps and frowned slightly. His gaze drifted in, intentionally or otherwise, and he realized that Meng Chuyuan was not in the room.

Where did this woman go so early in the morning?

Could it be that she had gone to collect breakfast?

Lu Jinsen suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, so he naturally thought that she had woken up early and gone to the supply station.

He returned to his room to change his clothes. After washing up, he sat quietly in the courtyard.

[What is Young Master doing? Are you planning to sit here and enjoy the cold wind?]

[I’m dying of laughter. He looks like an old man with an empty nest.]

[I don’t understand why the production team gave him so many scenes.]

[How annoying. There’s no fast-forward function in the live-stream.]

When he saw Meng Chuyuan’s figure appear, an imperceptible joy flashed across Lu Jinsen’s eyes.

For a moment, Lu Jinsen almost stood up and went to the door to welcome Meng Chuyuan. However, this small action was not captured. Although, his eager eyes were out of character.

Meng Chuyuan walked into the courtyard unhurriedly with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jinsen looked up and his gaze landed on her. “You’re back?”

“Yeah.”

When Meng Chuyuan approached and was about to walk past him, Lu Jinsen finally saw her hands behind her back.

Her hands were empty.

There was nothing.

Lu Jinsen frowned and asked coldly, “Where’s breakfast?”

Hearing this, Meng Chuyuan turned back to look at him and asked, “What breakfast?”

The next second, Lu Jinsen could no longer maintain his composure.

Had he been wrong from the start? He shouldn’t have had any hopes for her.

Meng Chuyuan stared at him and seemed to see disappointment in his eyes. She chuckled. “You didn’t think I’d bring you breakfast, did you?”

Lu Jinsen did not respond. His expression was extremely terrible, as if he was wronged.

[Hahahahaha, f*ck, I was so focused on them dividing the eggs just now that I realized that Sister Meng really didn’t take anything.]

[Sister Meng is indeed Sister Meng. She doesn’t even take what she can.]

[F*ck, there’s no division of labor or discussion in this group, let alone tacit understanding. It’s better to get lost as soon as possible and stop recording.]

[I suddenly realized that Ke Ke couldn’t bear to wake her sister up, so she went alone. Brother Qi Zhen is the same. He always goes out quietly. It’s really nice.]

[Amazing, amazing. She clearly went there but didn’t help bring it back. Is there a feud between the two of them?]

[Sister Vase doesn’t have a sense of teamwork. It’s fine to help Eldest Young Master carry it.]

…

At 8:30 in the morning, the three groups of guests gathered at the jujube plantation.

Today, their mission was to help the villagers pick dates. The exact number of kilograms they had to collect depended on the total weight of their group. Therefore, before picking the dates, the guests had to weigh themselves and register before picking them.

As long as they completed today’s mission, they would be able to obtain labor coins and exchange them for ingredients from the production team.

When they heard that they were going to publicly measure their weight on the variety show, some of the guests started to lose their cool.

The director asked the staff to take out the scales and place them in front of them. “Who wants to go first?”

No one responded, and no one was willing to step forward. This made the viewers in the live-stream extremely anxious.

[Isn’t it just taking your weight? Is this necessary? Just go up and be done with it. What’s there to be afraid of?]

[After all, their public figures. It’s understandable that they don’t want to expose their weight, but since they are here to participate in the Variety show, can’t they be more straightforward?]

[The production team really knows how to play hahahahaha. They measured the height last season and the weight this season. What will they measure next time?]

[All of you are so skinny. Your thighs are not even as thick as my arms. Do you need to feel inferior?]

[The weight scale is equivalent to a demon-revealing mirror for female celebrities. Who would dare to go on it?]

[If a woman is unwilling, can’t a man take the lead?]

Meng Chuyuan saw that the others’ expressions were grave and none of them gave the director a response. She raised her hand and gestured. “I’ll go first.”

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan walked forward unhurriedly and stood on the weight scale. It showed that she weighed 47 kilograms.

[F*ck! Isn’t this beauty too thin?]

[Look at how forthright my Sister Meng is. This is the benchmark for women in the new era.]

[Can you stop praising her? She’s not in the entertainment industry. Who would care about her weight?]

[Tsk, isn’t it because her weight gave her confidence? What’s there to be proud of?]

[Ah, right, right. I’m not only confident in my weight, but also my beauty. Are you jealous?]

Since Meng Chuyuan had already gone up, the others could only do as they were told. They went up one by one and let the director register their weight.

In the end, the director’s statistics were 116 kilograms for the sister-in-law group, 107 kilograms for the sister-sister group, and 119 kilograms for the sister-brother group.

After confirming the number of dates to be picked today, the director invited a local planter to teach everyone how to pick them.

The local jujube plantation had always been hand-picked, so it was relatively time-consuming and laborious. The supervisors in the jujube plantation distributed the thin bamboo poles and plastic paper for each group to harvest the jujube. Then, they spoke in a not-so-standard Mandarin and seriously demonstrated how to operate it to everyone.

The plumber first spread a large area of plastic paper in the mud, maintaining a suitable distance from the tree trunk. Then, he picked up the bamboo pole and knocked the tree gently. All the dates on the tree fell. Then, he slowly folded the plastic paper and poured the dates into the fruit basket.

After seeing the demonstration, Qi Zhen suddenly felt eager to give it a try. “It seems quite simple.”

The plumber raised his hand and said kindly, “Come, try it.”

Qi Zhen seemed to be interested in jujubes. He laid out the plastic paper alone and took his first strike with the bamboo pole under the guidance of the plumber.

His first attempt was not ideal, and the number of dates that dropped could be counted on one hand.

He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “It doesn’t seem that simple.”

[Oh my god, hahahaha. Did Brother Qi Zhen grow up eating Cuteness?]

[Hahahahaha, Little Brother it’s fine. This must be the bamboo’s fault, not yours.]

[Nice try. But don’t try again.]

[I watch him cluelessly scratch his head ten times. Hahaha.]

[Good luck, Qi Zhen. You’re already very good. I’ll give you a Like.]

The supervisor said, “You can use a little more strength. If you strike harder, more dates will fall.”

He nodded. “I’ll try to get a feel for it again.”

Qi Zhen striked the jujube tree two more times. This time there were more jujubes than before. He quickly found his bearings.

At the same time, Liao Jiake and her sister also started to strike the jujube trees. However, this group was made up of girls, so they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Both teams were working hard to complete the mission as soon as possible. However, at the other end, there were two people swaying in front of the camera, not doing anything.
