Looking at a large plot of land, Cheng Lu was somewhat falling apart, "Are you kidding, do we really have to pull radishes?"
King of Film Xu laughed, "Now that we're here, we might as well do some farm work! Pulling radishes isn't that hard, I'll show you how!"
With that, King of Film Xu bent over, grabbed a radish leaf, and then pulled!
I pull!
And pull again!
Continuing with force!
King of Film Xu was exhausted and ended up with just a handful of leaves; the stubborn radish was still firmly in the ground!
"Although I know I shouldn't laugh at you, why do I feel so inclined to laugh?" Cheng Lu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
King of Film Xu helplessly said, "We are in this together; if I can't pull out the radishes, we can't complete the task, which means we won't have anything to eat!"
Now Cheng Lu couldn't laugh anymore.
Yesterday, King of Film Xu hadn't caught any fish, her map drawings were too trendy for the village women, who didn't want them and wouldn't give her food; they had already been hungry for a day!
The show's crew was really ruthless, saying no food meant no food, and they even confiscated the dry food they brought in their suitcases!
"Let me try; maybe you're not doing it right. It can't all be about brute force; maybe it requires some finesse!" Cheng Lu put on work gloves, one hand grabbing the radish leaf, the other loosening the soil underneath, and after a long while, she managed to pull out half a radish.
She had no energy left for the other half!
Cheng Lu sat exhausted on the ground, having forgotten that she was a famous actress.
Tao Ti had been standing by obediently all along, seeing that they couldn't pull out the radishes and asked softly, "Can I try?"
She had actually pulled radishes before, helping her grandfather with farm work.
Her strength was small, like Mother Cheng, she could only pull out half.
But she remembered how she had made a bully bleed yesterday; her strength seemed to have grown very large because she had eaten a lot!
"If you want to try, go ahead, but be careful, don't overdo it, okay?" King of Film Xu said.
Tao Ti nodded obediently.
She went to the half-pulled radish Cheng Lu had left, reached out and pulled!
The radish came out roots and all!
Dirt flew with the radish roots, splattering on the shocked, expressionless King of Film Xu's face.
Cheng Lu closed her eyes, then opened them and shouted in cheer, "Baby, you're amazing!"
Being called "baby" made Tao Ti blush.
She worked even harder, using both hands, pulling one radish with each hand; it was so easy!
King of Film Xu: "..."
A radish that even a six-year-old could effortlessly pull out, and he, having exerted all his strength, ended up pulling only the leaves!
King of Film Xu, not willing to admit defeat, moved to an area where the soil seemed relatively softer and grabbed a radish leaf.
I pull, I pull, I... give up!
King of Film Xu fell sitting on the ground, watching the little girl pulling radishes swiftly, admitting defeat.
Cheng Lu wasn't idle; as Tao Ti threw the radishes she pulled onto the ground, Cheng Lu followed her picking them up.
In no time, the bamboo basket was filled with radishes.
King of Film Xu sat up, unwilling just to watch anymore. He found a bamboo basket and started picking up radishes with Cheng Lu.
Both adults teamed up, but their speed in picking radishes was still slower than Tao Ti's radish-pulling speed.
The showrunner had to manage six screens, totaling six temporary families.
Tao Ti's group wasn't the most eye-catching, so the showrunner had been somewhat negligent.
When the showrunner finally focused on Tao Ti's group, he was stunned!
He looked at the baskets filled with radishes, dumbfounded, "Only the top layer is radishes, right? The rest must be dirt and stones, right? Don't try to fool me!"
The cameraman reminded, "It's all radishes, there's no cheating; we don't even have enough baskets! They are counting them now, and it seems they're almost done. The task should be completed!"
At that moment, Tao Ti sat in the shade of a big tree, watching the two adults counting radishes seriously.
Tao Ti could also count numbers but only up to ten, so she couldn't help but just sat and watched.
The showrunner hurriedly checked the playback, saw Tao Ti effortlessly pulling radishes, and asked, "These radishes have been checked, right? No one tampered with the soil or rigged anything beforehand, right?"
The staff member shook their head, "Not only have they been checked, but we specifically chose this location because it's mountainous. The radishes are strongly rooted and very hard to pull out, not easily done by ordinary people."
