MTL - 90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn-Chapter 454 Good luck
Chapter 454 Good luck to you
The rules of the Bamboo Shoot Digging Contest are very simple.
Xiaojiacun has circled ten mountains with the best bamboo growth. Participants can bring hoes, shovels, and various tools to the mountains to dig winter bamboo shoots.
(Except for weapons that are too lethal such as gunpowder, explosives, torpedoes, flammable and explosive materials.)
It lasts eight hours, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, with an hour for lunch.
The whole bamboo shoot banquet is prepared by Li Hongying and the villagers who are not participating in the competition, and it is done before the 12th.
The contestants will go down the mountain to eat when the time comes.
Whether you want to rest after eating or go straight up the mountain to continue digging bamboo shoots is up to you.
In previous years, the first prize was a wild boar.
Hands vary in size, mainly depending on the luck of Xiao Guofu and the villagers’ hunting team.
This year’s first prize is the mysterious grand prize sponsored by Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.
Everyone is looking forward to it. More than 200 people gathered in the square in front of the Xiaojia Village Ancestral Hall, carrying baskets and sacks, holding tools, with faces full of excitement and eagerness to try.
As the patriarch, Xiao Guofu gave a speech before setting off, instructing people to pay attention. Bai Lu was also enthusiastically introduced by the Xiao family and said a few words of encouragement before the gongs were beaten and the shouting began.
“Go for it!”
“There’s a grand prize for first place!”
“I must win the championship this year!”
“This year’s first place is not a wild boar, it’s a mysterious grand prize sponsored by Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law! Go for it!”
The whole square was crowded with more than 200 people. Except for Li Jianfeng and Wu You, they all scattered and rushed to the mountain!
Seize the bamboo shoots!
Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, Xiao Wei and Shang Chuyao are waiting for Bai Lu, while Bai Lu is saying goodbye to her grandparents.
“Lulu, the mountain road is steep. In addition to bamboos, there are also many thorny plants on the mountain. Please pay more attention to safety.”
“The little piglets raised at home have grown up into big piglets. You are busy at the end of the year and don’t have time to come back. The pig killing feast has been postponed to today. After digging the bamboo shoots, go down the mountain early. Grandma will cook pork rib soup for you..."
“Okay.” Bai Lu nodded obediently.
“Don’t worry, grandpa and grandma, we will go down the mountain early to eat when we dig bamboo shoots. The pork rib soup and whole bamboo shoot banquet are still waiting for me. The cooked ones are much more delicious than the raw ones.”
Grandpa and grandma smiled and nodded, watching Bai Lu, Xiao Wei and others turn and head up the mountain.
Li Hongying was sent directly to the foot of the mountain.
"Lulu, do you want to prepare a more generous lunch?" Bai Lu said that distinguished guests will arrive at noon.
If the banquet of chicken, duck, fish and bamboo shoots is not rich enough, Li Hongying will ask people to buy shrimps and crabs from the riverside in the town. Although she is not sure whether there are any, big or small, this is already the most sumptuous lunch she can think of.
Bai Lu shook her head lightly: "Just be like everyone else, no need to be special, just fresh ingredients."
“Okay, then slow down.”
"Goodbye, sister-in-law~" Li Jianfeng and Wu You also said goodbye to Bai Lu. The mountain they were going to was Xiao Cheng's family mountain, which was on a different road from Bai Lu and others.
We can only say goodbye for now.
Bai Lu glanced at the plastic bag in Wu You's hand and couldn't help but remind Li Jianfeng: "If you use a shovel or a hoe, we can all go to the same mountain."
“I don’t want a hoe!”
Li Jianfeng looked disgusted: "That thing is too slow to dig bamboo shoots. It might as well be blown up by a torpedo!"
Luo Shiliu stared at his hand with a half-smile but not a smile: "Don't blow yourself up."
“Blow you up first.” Luo Shiliu took out a plastic bag.
Bai Lu's eyelids were twitching wildly: "Okay, okay, go and fry...ahem, dig your bamboo shoots! If you're too late, you won't be able to get first place. Where do you know the mountain is?"
"Know."
Just now, some villagers took Li Jianfeng and Wu You to see where Xiao Cheng’s family’s mountain was.
Li Jianfeng bowed his hands: "Then let's go~ Goodbye, sister-in-law, I'm going to blow up Xiao Cheng's mountain!"
Bai Lu: “…”
“Go ahead, there are bamboo shoots in Shangougou.” “I can also take first place in Shangougou!”
"Good luck."
The group parted ways at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Dazhuang and Luo Shiliu carried hoes in front, and Xiao Wei followed Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao behind.
The wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound. Slender green leaves were blown off and covered on the ground. New leaves and old leaves were heard, and the footsteps of walking in the forest passed by lightly.
Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang discovered bamboo shoots.
“Sister-in-law, I’m going to dig winter bamboo shoots too.”
Xiao Wei let go of Bai Lu's sleeves and ran to help with a small hoe.
Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao also took small hoes and looked for the sharp heads of winter bamboo shoots nearby.
Looking for it, Bai Lu found that Shang Chuyao was watching Xiao Dazhuang digging bamboo shoots with great interest.
“Do you want to help?”
Bai Lu teased and said: "Without encouragement, it will be difficult for Da Zhuang to win first place!"
Shang Chuyao was surprised: "Aren't we digging bamboo shoots for fun?"
“That’s right…”
Before Bai Lu finished speaking, Shang Chuyao changed the subject: "Xiao Dazhuang seems to be acting strange today. When he talks to me, he is not looking here and there, or left and right.
“In short, he doesn’t look at me and speaks very little, but he answers every time I ask him a question. What’s even more strange is that today he didn’t say that my mother said it, nor did he say that my sister-in-law said it.”
Bai Lu leaned on the bamboo with one hand and stared at Shang Chuyao with a little light of wisdom in her eyes: "You shouldn't have beaten Da Zhuang last night to prevent others from telling the truth?"
"How is it possible!" Shang Chuyao denied it righteously: "I only exposed your information."
“I don’t remember the rest.”
Bai Lu smiled coldly: "Do you still remember to reveal the information about me?"
"Shangchu Yaoyao, I'm usually nice to you, but you betrayed me, you're so heartless!"
Shang Chuyao was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Bai Lu's shoulders and shook her with great regret: "Lulu, are you still drunk? Didn't I explain to you this morning? I drink too much and can do anything, even betrayal. It’s a small one. If you drink two more drinks, I can tear your house apart!”
Bai Lu: “…”
This is an explanation that adds fuel to the fire! ?
Still in a daze after explaining, Bai Lu followed Shang Chuyao's line of sight and saw Xiao Dazhuang bending down and trying to dig bamboo shoots.
Sure enough, people who work hard are the most attractive, regardless of whether they are men or women.
“Yao Yao, do you want my mother to talk to my sister-in-law when I grow up and become Yaoyao?”
Shang Chuyao watched Xiao Dazhuang digging bamboo shoots, then watched Luo Shiliu digging. After watching Luo Shiliu, she watched Xiao Wei dig. It was only after watching Xiao Wei that she realized: "What did you say?"
"How could it be possible for Xiao Dazhuang? No, how could it be possible for me... Well, continue."
Bai Lu laughed happily: "Dazhuang is an honest and good boy. He listens to whoever is right. If you tell him something he doesn't know, he will definitely take your words as the standard. He will tell whoever is wrong. "
"Real or false." Shang Chuyao was dubious: "Why do I feel like you are deceiving me?"
“If you don’t believe me, try teaching him how to identify poisonous mushrooms.” Bai Lu suggested sincerely.
Getting decisive approval from Shang Chuyao, he ran to teach Xiao Dazhuang how to identify poisonous mushrooms without saying a word.
They also pulled mushrooms from the roadside to use as samples.
Luo Shiliu and Xiao Wei stared blankly at Xiao Dazhuang, who was digging bamboo shoots and learning to identify mushrooms from Shang Chuyao. They had learned very hard, and they both looked back at Bai Lu in shock.
Bai Lu smiled and waved her hands. Just as she was about to say something, a figure hurriedly rushed into the bamboo forest.
“Sister-in-law, here comes the distinguished guest.”
