Chapter 17
Lin Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat, as if someone had overheard her secret. She looked away guiltily, walked past her, and walked out quickly, "Jiayan, are you here to call me for dinner? Let's go."
It’s over, it’s over. If Xu Jiayan heard her say “master” or something like that, would she think she was a monster with some weird hobby?
Xu Jiayan stood there in a daze, watching Lin Miaomiao go into the house, then slowly lowered her head to look at the coquettish Shizi at her feet. She stared at the cat for a while and asked, "Were you talking about the master just now?"
Shizi tilted her head and meowed and replied: Yes.
Xu Jiayan couldn't understand the cat's language and could only stare at Shizi.
"That should be it." Xu Jiayan thought, "I can't have heard it wrong at such a close distance."
She had received training when she was on a mission before, so her hearing and eyesight were very good. Moreover, they were so close at the time, so even if Lin Miaomiao spoke softly just now, she would not have heard it wrong.
But why did her cat turn into a human?
She had never heard of a precedent in the Space-Time Bureau using animals to perform tasks before.
Xu Jiayan was puzzled, but this was not bad news. She had originally planned to finish the main story of this world and leave to find the cat. If Miaomiao was here, it would save her trouble.
When she returned to the main room, most of the others had already taken their seats and were just waiting for the real hero to come back before we could start eating.
As soon as Xu Jiayan appeared, everyone called her to come quickly.
"Jiayan, hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
"Master Chef, what's wrong with you? Why do you disappear after the dish is ready?"
"Come and have dinner."
"Sorry, sorry, I just went to wash my hands." Xu Jiayan smiled, walked over and took a seat.
There were eight people at the table and only one seat was left. She had no choice but to sit in the empty seat opposite Lin Miaomiao.
Dinner officially began with the usual welcoming of guests and clinking of glasses, and then people couldn't wait to serve a bowl of cured pork ribs.
There were limited ingredients in the village. Apart from the cured pork ribs, there were only some vermicelli, meatballs, beef, mutton and fish. The fish was bought from Uncle Chun and Xu Jiayan sliced the fish herself. But because the fish fell apart too easily, everyone unanimously decided to eat it last and eat the vegetables first. The big stars seemed to love vegetables more than meat. After a bowl of milky white cured rib bone soup and a piece of cured pork ribs, they all put the vegetables tacitly.
"Teacher Ye, I'll give you spinach!" Lin Miaomiao had never taken her eyes off the spinach since it was put into the pot. As soon as she saw it was cooked, she quickly scooped up a large chopstick of spinach and put it in his bowl. "It's freshly cooked, eat it quickly!"
“…”
Ye Zimo is in his early thirties, not too old, but among the people present, he is the oldest except Zhao Shuya. In addition, he is so taciturn, so no matter how noisy others are, he can always stay sober and calm. He and Zhao Shuya form a circle of their own, watching them like an old man drinking tea and watching a play, and the excitement has nothing to do with them.
During the "hot pot grabbing" this time, Ye Zimo didn't even pick up the chopsticks, but quietly drank the juice in the cup. Who would have thought that Lin Miaomiao, who grabbed the fastest, would give him all the spinach she grabbed.
Ye Zimo was stunned at first, then slowly looked at Lin Miaomiao beside him.
"Eat quickly." Lin Miaomiao urged.
Ye Zimo looked down at the full bowl of spinach, and finally picked up the chopsticks, "Thank you."
Lin Miaomiao waved her hand heroically, “You steamed meat for Shizi and played with her, I will grab the food for you.”
Ye Zimo: "..."
It seems like this is putting him in the same category as Shizi...
Seeing him start eating, Lin Miaomiao was also happy. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up a cuttlefish ball for herself and ate it with the blanched vegetables.
When it comes to eating, Lin Miaomiao is always the most relaxed. She never stops eating even when her mouth is burned so hard that she can't close it and sweat is pouring down her forehead.
Maybe it was because of the good atmosphere of today's dinner, or maybe it was because Lin Miaomiao was eating so happily beside him, Ye Zimo suddenly felt like having a good appetite, so he followed Lin Miaomiao's example and buried his head in eating.
Seeing that he finished the spinach first, Lin Miaomiao was in a good mood. When she stood up to add more food to herself, she picked up another piece of food for Ye Zimo. Seeing Ye Zimo looking at her, Lin Miaomiao moved closer to him and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Ye. I'll help you get the spinach."
Ye Zimo: "..."
I just prefer spinach, but I don’t mean spinach is a must…
[Hahaha why is Ye Zimo's embarrassed expression so cute! ]
[Ye Zimo: I just like eating spinach, I don’t want to become spinach. ]
[When Lin Miaomiao asked this question in the evening, I felt that Ye Zimo was going to fail. Why did he answer Lin Miaomiao's question so seriously at that time? Don't you know that Lin Miaomiao is more serious than you? This is going to be a good show to watch 23333]
[Ye Zimo: This gratitude is too heavy, can I return it? ]
The audience who saw this scene through the live camera were all delighted, but Xu Jiayan, who was sitting opposite, was once again confused.
If Lin Miaomiao suddenly became close to Ye Zimo because of Shizi, it would be understandable, but just now in the woodshed, Lin Miaomiao clearly said, "Can my master and I recognize each other?" and it was obvious that the master here was not herself.
That sentence also indicated that she had found her master and was just waiting to be recognized. If Lin Miaomiao was really Miaomiao, then the "master" she was referring to must be herself, but she did not receive any recognition signal sent by Lin Miaomiao!
For a moment, all kinds of suspicions flashed through Xu Jiayan's mind, but she still couldn't sort out the mess.
Is Lin Miaomiao really her Miaomiao?
How did she come?
Can the Space-Time Bureau allow animals to travel through books?
Three questions lingered in Xu Jiayan's mind. This was the first time she felt confused and troubled after becoming a formal employee of the Space-Time Bureau.
Fortunately, she is no longer in the Space-Time Bureau, so the thing she has the most is time.
In order to conserve enough energy for planting rice the next day, they did not continue any activities after the meal. After a short rest, they went their separate ways to wash and sleep.
The next day, the Happy Farmers got up early in the morning, washed up and set off for their employer's house. However, they thought they were early but in fact they were late, because other people who came to help plant rice had already left for the fields.
In the end, the employer's family arranged for a child to take them there - and Zhao Shuya stayed at home to help prepare meals.
"Teacher Ye," Lin Miaomiao rubbed against Ye Zimo and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever planted rice seedlings?"
Ye Zimo shook his head, "No."
Lin Miaomiao clapped her hands: "What a coincidence, I don't have one either."
Ye Zimo: "..."
"Oh, yes, what a coincidence, I have never planted rice seedlings either." Su Zhixing, who was following behind them, replied.
"It looks like we have to start from scratch again." Yang Jun thought of something and turned to ask Xu Jiayan, "Sister Jiayan, what about you?"
Xu Jiayan withdrew her gaze from Lin Miaomiao, smiled and shook her head, "Me neither."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the rice field, where they saw half of the village's population, some of them squatting or sitting on stools, pulling up rice seedlings in the field.
Sister Chen was there too. She was surprised to see Lin Miaomiao and waved to her, “Miaomiao, are you guys here to help with the rice planting too?”
"Yes." Lin Miaomiao left the team and ran to Sister Chen, squatting on the shore to watch her pull up the seedlings. "Sister Chen, do we have to pull up the seedlings like you?"
Sister Chen: "Yes. In the morning, we mainly plow the fields for the second time and pull out the rice seedlings. After breakfast, we plant the rice seedlings together. This way, we are more efficient."
"Then I'll come down too."
Lin Miaomiao didn't even ask for the swimming pants arranged by the program crew. She just took off her shoes and socks and went straight into the water.
The employer, Uncle Tang, has many fields and a large rice field, but after Lin Miaomiao and others came down, the space was still compressed.
The people in Happy Farm were all pure novices, and the first thing they did when they got into the water was to learn how to pull up and tie up the seedlings.
"Put your hands under the water with half-clenched fists, try to get as close to the roots of the seedlings as possible, grab a handful, and gently pull them toward you."
"Don't grab too many. If you grab too many, they won't be able to be pulled out and will break easily. About four or five will be enough... It's your first time pulling out the seedlings, so two or three will be enough. Don't force yourself."
"Yes, yes, yes. It's easy to pull it in your direction like Miaomiao did. It's hard to pull it directly upwards."
"Don't worry, take your time to learn. There are many people here this morning, and we can finish it without you."
Several people from the Happy Farm Family: "..."
Lin Miaomiao and the others did not bring stools, so they could only half-squat to pull up the seedlings. The squatting posture was very particular. If they squatted too low, their buttocks would get wet, and if they squatted too high, they might not be able to stand steadily when bending over to pull up the seedlings, especially if they had to pull up the seedlings with both hands at the same time. If one of them lost control, there was the possibility that they would be dragged into the field by a few small seedlings. It was even more difficult than squatting in a horse stance.
What's more, the big stars usually neglect exercise. Except for Ye Zimo and Su Zhixing who exercise regularly, the other people's abilities are not good. Even Yang Jun, who practices dancing all the time, can't last for a minute, not to mention Lin Miaomiao and Xu Jiayan.
"No," Yang Jun gave up struggling, stood up and gasped, "I can't do it anymore. It's too hard to squat and pull the seedlings like this."
"What are you talking about?"
It was a rare opportunity for Su Zhixing to have a job that he was good at and not surpassed by Lin Miaomiao and Xu Jiayan. He finally regained some dignity as a strong man and seriously criticized the younger generation, "You are so young, what can't you say? You should say I can do it! I will definitely do it!"
Gu Qingming ignored the fact that he was also the one at the bottom and imitated Su Zhixing's tone and said, "That's right, Xiaojun, learn more from your brother Zhixing and see how good he is."
[Su Zhixing: If you are a man, you can't say no! ]
[F#ck Su Zhixing, be careful and don't teach the kid bad things! ]
[Hahaha, this silly Su Zhihang finally had the opportunity to be an elder and educate people, but he probably didn't realize how big a misunderstanding his words were! ]
[I have collected the animated picture. I will leave a comment on Su Zhixing’s Weibo in the future 23333]
Yang Jun blushed and couldn't find the words to respond. He could shout slogans, but the problem was that he really couldn't do this job!
"But Teacher Su, you also stood up and took a rest." Lin Miaomiao slapped him in the face rudely.
Su Zhixing didn't think he was taking a break at all. He said with a straight face, "I'm cheering Xiaojun up!"
Lin Miaomiao looked at Ye Zimo who was still squatting and pulling seedlings, and said speechlessly: "In fact, you can work harder and pull more, so that Xiaojun and we can pull less. This is the most correct way to cheer."
Xu Jiayan also smiled and said, "I agree with Miaomiao, Teacher Su, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Qingming immediately cheered, "Come on, Teacher Su!"
Bai Li also shouted: "Come on."
Su Zhixing: “…”
Although Ye Zimo didn't say anything, the raised corners of his lips were enough to show his attitude.
Looking at Yang Jun again, he was really looking at him expectantly. Su Zhixing was immediately angry, "Damn, you guys are teaming up to bully me!"
"Is it tiring to squat and pull rice seedlings? Here are some stools for you."
The villager who heard the noise stood up and handed the stool out of the mud to Lin Miaomiao and others.
"No, no, we're just not used to it at the beginning, you don't have to bother us." Everyone waved their hands quickly to refuse.
They definitely can't take the stools. They work slowly to begin with, and now they're fighting over the stools, slowing down the people who are actually working. Is this how human beings work?
Fortunately, many people came, and with more people there is more strength, and the work naturally goes faster. Soon a large piece of rice field was almost finished, and when there was only one row of seedlings left, people from Uncle Tang's family came to call them to eat, so they all stopped.
The breakfast is simple, including pork soup, stir-fried meat with various vegetables, steamed sausage and stir-fried vegetables. But there is also a separate pot of rice noodles or vermicelli made with sausage, liver and bone soup. If you want to eat rice noodles for breakfast, you can boil them on the spot. You are free to choose.
The eight people from Happy Farmer Family all chose to eat rice noodles.
Lin Miaomiao saw that there were pickled radishes and beans on the table. She took the bowl and ran to the host without any hesitation: "Uncle Tang, do you have any other dishes in the jar? I want to eat."
Compared with big fish and meat, she prefers the various pickled vegetables made in the village.
Apparently others did too.
Ye Zimo was the first one to catch up with Lin Miaomiao.
"I want to eat too!" Yang Jun was the second one to follow. He was young and it was not shameful to want to eat something.
With Lin Miaomiao taking the lead and Ye Zimo, who was calm and responsible, the others had no worries and followed with their bowls in hand.
Soon, only Gu Qingming and Bai Li, who were not used to the local climate, were left at the Happy Farmer's table. The two stared at each other for a while, and finally Gu Qingming stood up and said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's go too."
Looking at the Happy Farmers who came over with big bowls of hot noodle soup, Lin Miaomiao was speechless for a moment, "Why are you all carrying bowls over here!"
"Ah, can't you bring a bowl?" Yang Jun was a little confused, "But Sister Miaomiao, you also came with a bowl."
"I'm fine." Lin Miaomiao's loving eyes swept over the few people one by one, "I think you are all so stupid. I only remembered to eat the dishes in the jar while I was eating. When Uncle Tang asked me what I wanted to eat, I said I wanted to try everything. He has already gone to get it for me. Why don't you just wait at the table for me to bring the dishes back? Why did you follow me?"
Other people:"……"
Xu Jiayan looked at Lin Miaomiao thoughtfully: Her cat didn't seem to be that smart...
Sure enough, after a while, Uncle Tang came out with a tray full of various side dishes, and the few people had no choice but to carry their big bowls and follow Uncle Tang back to the original table.
After sitting down again, everyone could finally enjoy their breakfast in peace.
"Teacher Ye, try this." Lin Miaomiao moved a bowl of pickled radish in front of her and picked one for Ye Zimo first. "I just tried it. It's pickled with chopped peppers. It's crispy, sour and spicy, and has a little sweetness from the radish. It's delicious. I think you will like it too."
Ye Zimo glanced at the pickled red and translucent leeks and frowned slightly. He did not refuse, but he did not eat it immediately either.
On the contrary, Xu Jiayan, who was standing next to him, seemed to have heard something extraordinary. Halfway through eating the rice noodles in her mouth, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Miaomiao.
As they were talking, the group arrived at the rice field, where they saw half of the village's population, some of them squatting or sitting on stools, pulling up rice seedlings in the field.
