Chapter 123 - The Favorite Member Of Our Team (2/2)
While Ling Sheng brought Cheng Ye over, Team Red sent two men. Jiang Yi, Yu Bei, Su Yi, and Chu Zhian stayed at home to wait for orders.
Before leaving, Ling Sheng even considerately applied sunblock on Cheng Ye and gave him a hat.
Cheng Ye, who was moved to tears, vowed to perform well and work hard to earn money. He could not let his brothers and sisters think that he only knew how to eat and laze around.
The strength of each side was different. The two men in Team Red were strong. The strongest players of Team Blue were Ling Sheng and Cheng Ye, who were only equal to them. However, they ate a lot and thus had to dig a lot. Their progress was about the same.
Beside the potato field was a piece of chili-planted land. The chili peppers there grew in abundance.
Ling Sheng and Yu Bei sat together in the ditch to rest, using the chili shoots to block the sun.
Feeling really bored, Ling Sheng plucked a big pepper and sniffed it.
“Brother Bei, do you think this chili pepper is spicy?”
“You’ll know once you try it.”
“I have a suggestion. Whoever loses will eat a chili pepper, okay?”
“Loses what?”
“Let’s see who’ll win if we dig up potatoes!”
“Okay!”
She acted like she was filming a pair of extremely childish people. However, they actually went to dig for potatoes, all the while sweating profusely. Are both of you children?
The sun was so big that she couldn’t take it anymore. She wanted to go back and rest as soon as possible. The two of them had worked the whole morning but still had the energy to play. She had no choice but to admire the young man’s energy.
Both of them were very important actors. While they were busy digging for potatoes, they were mumbling incoherently, attracting the surrounding peasants, uncles, and aunties.
In the end, Yu Bei’s harvest was 50% greater than Ling Sheng’s.
Yu Bei smiled delightedly. “Let’s eat!”
Ling Sheng took a bite, her throat boiling from the spiciness. She appeared very calm as she nodded. “These are sweet peppers. They’re so sweet! They’re as delicious as fruit! Want to have a try?”
