Chapter 122: Helpers
For the past one week, she often dreamed. She did not sleep so well.
Seeing that it was still early, she went back to bed and closed her eyes to rest.
But she did not dare to fall asleep. She was worried that she would dream of something again after she fell asleep.
It was not until 7:00 am that she got up, and she was a little dispirited.
She freshened up, changed into simple clothes, and prepared to go to the field to plant a new batch of vegetable seedlings.
However, when she carried the vegetable seedlings and tools to the field, she saw a group of people walking towards her.
This group of people was wearing the simplest sportswear, and their walking movements were neat and uniform. It was obvious that they had been trained.
The morning sunlight was somewhat dazzling. Cheng Ling could not see clearly who they were. It was not until this group of people walked in front of Cheng Ling that she recognized them.
Wasn’t the leader Lu Dong?
Cheng Ling also had a slight impression of the dozen-odd people that Lu Dong brought with him. She had seen them before beside Lu Qi and Lu Xiu.
Cheng Ling was a little stunned. This was the first time she saw this group of people not wearing formal clothes.
Then, two more people appeared from the other end of the small road.
It was Lu Xiu and Lu Qi.
Cheng Ling’s eyes widened slightly. It was only slightly past 7:00 am. Why did they come so early?
It had been almost a week since they last saw each other. Even from afar, Cheng Ling could tell that Lu Qi’s health was very much better now.
Even his entire appearance was more ‘flirtatious’ than before. His lips were red and his teeth were white, making people inexplicably think of the white snow in spring.
Due to the warmer weather, Lu Qi only wore a blue polo shirt and a pair of black pants today. He looked fresh and clean.
Lu Xiu also did not wear formal today. Instead, he wore a simple black T-shirt and jeans. This outfit made him look five or six years younger.
Lu Xiu saw Cheng Ling from afar and raised his hand to wave at Cheng Ling.
The sun shone on the two of them at 7:00 in the morning. It was as if they were two freshmen preparing to go to class. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
Cheng Ling was still in a daze when the two of them stood in front of Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling only came back to her senses when she smelled the faint bitter smell of Chinese medicine on Lu Qi’s body.
“Why are you here so early? I remember that we had an appointment in the afternoon.”
At this time, Lu Dong inexplicably saluted Cheng Ling. “Miss Cheng, we are here to help you plant vegetables.”
Lu Qi opened his mouth with a warm smile.
“To give you more time to accompany me to buy furniture, I specially found helpers for you.”
Cheng Ling looked at the 20-odd vegetable seedlings in her basket, then looked up at the 10-odd men and nodded.
Alright, then let’s plant two each.
So, the 10-odd men who were determined to work hard held a vegetable seedling in each of their hands.
“This is today’s mission?”
Cheng Ling nodded.
“That’s right.”
“Then will there be a reward for completing today’s mission?”
This group of bodyguards still remember the ginseng previously.
The ginseng previously, which was only as long as a pinky finger, actually sold for hundreds of thousands in the market.
This had helped increase their savings for getting married.
Therefore, when they heard that they could plant vegetables again, they eagerly signed up.
Cheng Ling thought for a moment and then pointed at a sunflower that had just ripened in the field with her white finger.
“Then I’ll reward each of you with a few melon seeds.”
Previously it was ginseng, and this time it was melon seeds. This gap was a bit big.
Lu Bei stood out. “Melon seeds? What’s so good about it?!”
He walked to the sunflower, casually plucked a melon seed, and put it into his mouth.
It was so sweet!
And the moment he ate the melon seed, he felt that his sleepiness had completely disappeared. Although he got up around 4:00 am, he was still full of energy now.
He ate another melon seed and then picked up Cheng Ling’s hoe.
“I love farming, farming loves me!”
Looking at Lu Bei, everyone didn’t dare to say anything.
Was this guy crazy?
Although there was no ginseng, two vegetable sprouts was not a heavy task, so everyone started to work with high hopes.
One minute later, they were done.
They hadn’t even sweated yet.
“As expected, there’s strength in numbers. The human wave tactics have its reasons,” Cheng Ling said softly.
Although everyone only worked for a minute, to express her gratitude, Cheng Ling still invited everyone to stay for breakfast.
When she walked back to the house with the empty basket, Mi Duo was already awake. She was in the kitchen preparing to make porridge.
“Please cook more. It’s about for 18 people.”
Mi Duo lowered her head and looked at the 12-inch-wide pot in front of her.
Her heart roared, “I can’t do it.”
