Chapter 1188 Mountain Temple
Gao Hui said, "That's right. Look at the golden rice in the field. The rice ears are big and plump. It looks so good."
Liu Juan said, "It would be better if we took it back."
Gao Hui said, "I'm preparing now, and we'll start harvesting tomorrow."
Liu Juan chimed in, "I'm also preparing. We'll start harvesting tomorrow. My family has a lot of rice, so it should take several days to harvest."
Gao Hui immediately asked, "Do you need any help?"
Liu Juan shook her head: "No need, there are so many people at home, and Ningning wants to film the video, so she wants to do these things herself."
Gao Hui was surprised: "Your Ningning runs such a big business, why does she still have to work in the fields herself?"
Liu Juan said, "Yes, she's a blogger, so she needs to make these videos for her fans and maintain those relationships."
Gao Hui understood and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's not easy to talk about."
“Yes, Ningning may seem like the boss, but she has a lot to do and a lot of pressure. It’s not as good as it looks.” Liu Juan remembered Shen Xuening’s words: when speaking outside, you should say bad things, not good things, otherwise it will arouse everyone’s jealousy.
“I’ve heard people say that being a boss isn’t easy, and now that I hear you say it, it does seem quite stressful.” Gao Hui said, then changed the subject, “But we all believe in Ningning. She’s beautiful, capable, and has found such a great husband. Her future is sure to be bright.”
Liu Juan was delighted to hear this: "I also hope her future is bright and promising."
Gao Hui said, "It definitely will."
Liu Juan changed the subject: "Your older brother's family ordered half a pig from me. Is there something going on at their house?"
Gao Hui suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, my mother-in-law is turning seventy soon, and the family is planning to have a feast. You should all come for dinner then."
Liu Juan quickly replied, "We're from the same village, so if it's a big celebration, our family will definitely go."
Gao Hui emphasized, "Ningning is coming too."
Liu Juan agreed: "I told her that she would come as soon as she knew."
Gao Hui nodded: "That's good."
……
The morning light melts into the clouds like honey, draping the earth in an amber veil. A gentle breeze, carrying dewdrops, brushes over the tips of the grass and across the land, bringing the cool scent of mint into the windowpanes.
Shen Xuening lay on her side on the bed, fluttered her long eyelashes, opened her eyes, blinked twice, and woke up.
I got up, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.
After quickly washing up, I came out of the bathroom, changed my clothes, and tied my hair into a bun. Today was the day to harvest rice, so I wore some old, comfortable clothes that would be convenient for the work.
When she came downstairs, everyone in the family was awake, and everyone was busy with their own tasks.
Shen Xuening went to the kitchen to get the panda's food. Every day at this time, the panda would come to her house begging for food. If she didn't give it food, it would stay at her house and wouldn't go to "work". If the staff didn't see the panda, they would call her to ask about the situation.
Sure enough, when Shen Xuening brought out bamboo shoots and apples, a whole yard of red pandas were already waiting there, including Shen Baohong, who was in charge of filming.
Shen Xuening called out, "Come here, it's time to get your food."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little pandas ran up to her, lining up one by one to receive their food. Fans loved watching this scene, so Shen Baohong would come to film it every few days. If they couldn't see it for a few more days, the fans would urge her to update.
Shen Baohong laughed and said, "You little rascals are getting smarter and smarter as you grow up."
Shen Xuening gave the little panda a bamboo shoot and an apple at the same time.
The red pandas stood up, holding bamboo shoots in one hand and apples in the other. From a distance, they looked like little people, which was extremely cute.
The bamboo shoots and apples are not big, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hold them.
Once they received their food, the red pandas went to the side to enjoy their meal. After eating, they went to "work," and by daybreak, they could be seen scattered throughout the scenic area.
Besides red pandas, there are peacocks, swans, parrots, and all sorts of birds; it's almost like a zoo.
Some people commented online that traveling here is great value for money; you can see beautiful scenery and flowers, as well as all kinds of wild animals, making it really worthwhile.
In these areas frequented by humans, only animals that humans are not afraid of will appear, while animals that humans are afraid of will only appear far away in the forest, and you will see them from time to time if you are hiking on the boardwalk.
The animals here do not accept food from humans and keep their distance from them; in short, you can see the animals but cannot touch them.
After feeding the last red panda, Shen Xuening tidied up her things and put them on the balcony. Someone would come to collect them soon and bring the bamboo shoots and apples the red pandas would eat tomorrow.
Shen Xuening has always taken good care of the little gods of wealth.
The parrots at home are fed by a professional, so Shen Xuening doesn't need to worry about them. She puts on her shoes and straw hat and goes out.
Shen Baohong filmed alongside her.
Whenever Shen Xuening was doing farm work, Shen Baohong had to stay by her side to film, never leaving her side.
Shen Xuening took a sickle and came to the edge of the field. At this time, the sunlight had pierced through the clouds and sprinkled onto the earth, making every inch of it golden and giving it a more luxurious look.
Holding a sickle in his right hand, he bent down and cut the rice stalks, placing two stalks together as a bundle.
A single rice plant has more than twenty branches, which means it has more than twenty ears of wheat, making it quite heavy to hold.
Shen Xuening looked at the golden rice ears with great satisfaction: As expected of rice cultivated in the space, it grows so well. Not only does it grow well, but it also tastes delicious. It is an absolute delicacy.
The paddy fields not only contain rice, but also bullfrogs.
The bullfrogs grow naturally without being fed; they catch small insects in the rice paddies to eat on their own. Apart from the seedlings, they can be considered wild.
The spiritual energy content in rice paddies is higher than in other places, so bullfrogs don't go anywhere else and just live in the rice paddies. Now that the rice is ripe, the bullfrogs can be eaten.
Shen Baohong said with a smile, "Xue Ning, how about bullfrog for lunch?"
Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat it tonight. I'll be busy working at noon, so I probably won't have time."
"It's the same whether it's lunch or dinner, as long as there's something to eat, that's good enough," Shen Baohong said happily. "I called Grandma and asked her to bring the bucket to catch bullfrogs this afternoon."
Shen Xuening said, "Then call Grandma this afternoon. Tell her now, and she'll come over right away to catch it. She'll make it for me for lunch."
Shen Baohong nodded and said, "That's right, Grandma loves you so much. Whatever you want to eat, she'll definitely prepare it for the next meal."
It was quiet for a while.
Shen Baohong suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Xue Ning, how about I change today's shooting mode to live streaming?"
Shen Xuening asked, "Why?"
Shen Baohong frowned and said, "Last year when you were harvesting rice, many fans said that you were posing for photos. I want to set the record straight."
Shen Xuening looked back at the rice she had harvested, thought for a moment, and nodded: "That works too. We haven't done a live stream in a long time, so it's good to chat with our fans."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away." Shen Baohong called his assistant and told him to get started.
The assistant had just woken up. After all, she wasn't supposed to start work until 8 a.m., and it was only 7 a.m. But since Boss Bao had called, it must be something important. So she immediately got up, washed up, and rushed to work.
This isn't the first time we've done a live stream; we have all the necessary equipment, and we can start streaming as soon as we install it.
With everything ready, Shen Baohong said to Shen Xuening, "Xuening, the live stream is starting."
Shen Xuening replied, "Okay."
The live broadcast has started.
On short video platforms, there are live notifications when you watch videos, so even though it's a temporary live stream, fans start entering the live stream room, just a little slower than for live streams with prior notice.
For her, popularity wasn't that important, not for money. Shen Xuening just wanted to build up her good reputation since she hadn't done a live stream in a long time.
[Oh my god, what a surprise! The blogger is finally going live again!]
[Blogger, has the rice harvest started?]
[This is the first time I've seen such a down-to-earth and beautiful blogger, actually working in the fields herself! People used to say our bloggers were just posing, but now that she's livestreaming the rice harvest, won't people say she's using a body double?]
[The blogger's rice looks amazing! The ears of rice are so dense; the rice is growing very well this year.]
Why is the blogger so beautiful even while working in the fields? Does God just favor some people? I'm so envious.
At this moment, Shen Xuening smiled slightly at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I am Shen Xuening, video account Shen Mujin. Today we started harvesting rice, and I decided to do a live broadcast on short notice. Many people don't grow rice anymore, so I'm doing this to let everyone know more about rural life."
"The rice paddies at home are terraced, which cannot be mechanized, so they can only be harvested by hand, using the harvesting methods from my grandfather's generation. If you are interested, you can take a look and learn about the lives of our parents and grandparents in that era."
"Alright, without further ado, let's watch how I harvest the rice."
After saying that, Shen Xuening continued to harvest the rice.
At the same time, Shen Dong pulled the grain bucket to the paddy field, placed it flat, put the threshing machine into the grain bucket, and inserted the fence around the grain bucket, getting ready.
There were many bullfrogs in the rice paddies, and as Shen Dong was busy working, they made a series of lively splashing sounds.
Shen Dong caught the bullfrog that had accidentally jumped into the grain bucket in his hand: "It's so big and so fat."
Shen Baohong smiled upon hearing this: "I'll just make a pot of boiled bullfrogs for dinner tonight."
"Great, they're so fat, it's the perfect time to eat bullfrogs." Shen Dong laughed as he tossed the bullfrogs aside. "They all look so plump."
“Haha, I think so too,” Shen Baohong agreed.
Grandpa Shen happened to come over and overheard this, and couldn't help but expose him, saying, "I think you're just greedy and want to eat."
Shen Baohong was quite frank: "Although that's what I think, Grandpa, please don't embarrass me. Besides, we're all eating together, so please don't just criticize me."
Grandpa Shen glanced at Shen Baohong: "Work hard, and this will be your reward tonight."
Shen Baohong chuckled: "If you listen to Grandpa, you'll get meat to eat."
As they talked, they made preparations. With the help of Shen Dong and Grandpa Shen, the preparations were quickly completed, and they could then begin harvesting the rice.
At this time, the students were all on holiday, including Shen Baozhu and Shen Zhenzhu, so they also came to the fields to help.
Shen Dong and Grandpa Shen were responsible for feeding the rice into the machine to thresh it, while they were responsible for handing over the rice, just like an assembly line.
After the family began harvesting, the sounds of rice harvesters soon filled the air from all directions, creating a harmonious symphony of harvest.
Live broadcast room——
I haven't seen a family harvesting rice together in a long time, and this scene really touched me.
This scene reminds me of my childhood; this is exactly how I grew up.
[When I was a child, the busy farming season was wheat harvesting, and summer vacation was rice harvesting. These vivid childhood memories were awakened at this moment.]
Although it was sunny and tiring, I really miss those times; they were all part of my childhood.
Childhood, you've actually awakened in my mind!
The number of viewers in the live stream has grown to over 10 in just half an hour, without any prior notice, which is truly surprising.
The live stream was bustling with activity, with comments pouring in one after another, making the fans' enthusiasm palpable.
Shen Xuening didn't look at the camera much; she was busy working, cutting down rice stalks one by one, seemingly tireless, and the rice in the paddy field visibly decreased.
Gao Hui passed by and greeted Shen Xuening with a smile: "Xuening, you're the boss, yet you're still working in the fields."
Shen Xuening replied, "The boss is a person too, he needs to eat."
"Haha, that's true." Gao Hui looked back. "Your mom has prepared some delicious food at home and will bring it to you in a little while."
Shen Xuening thought Liu Juan had gone to deliver goods, but she was surprised to find that Liu Juan was at home preparing a delicious meal: "What delicious food are we having again?"
"I definitely wouldn't know that," Gao Hui said with a smile, waving her hand. "I'm going to get busy now. If I'm lucky, I might get a free meal later, haha. Bye." She then walked away.
The villagers became wealthy thanks to Shen Xuening, and they greeted the Shen family with smiles and great hospitality.
Shen Xuening worked here for several hours, and everyone who passed by greeted her, treating her like a goddess of wealth. Some people even wanted to kneel down and worship her.
The village chief walked over: "Everyone's busy."
Grandpa Shen replied, "Yes, your family is harvesting rice too?"
The village chief laughed and said, "That's right. It's perfect timing since the kids are on holiday and can help out. You know, kids get more sensible as they grow up. They used to never want to do these things, but now they're all happy to."
Grandpa Shen said, "They'll definitely be more sensible when they grow up. Once they've settled down and started their own families, they'll be able to enjoy life."
The village chief waved his hand: "I'd rather not enjoy my retirement. What I'm thinking is to do what I can to help the children."
Grandpa Shen nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should do as much as we can while we still can."
"Hmm." The village chief took a few steps forward, approaching Shen Xuening. "Ningning, I want to discuss something with you, what do you say?"
Shen Xuening looked up at the village chief: "Uncle, what do you think?"
