Chapter 285: Other People’s Younger Brother
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Facing the unfamiliar and complicated camping equipment, the guests felt like they didn’t know where to start.
“How do we set this up?” Xu Huanning held the billing rod in her hand and turned to look at the staff at the side, trying to get the production team’s help.
The staff shook his head at her.
Xu Huaning glanced at the staff member with a trace of doubt in her eyes. “Didn’t you set this up just now?”
The staff said, “You’ll have to do it yourself.”
Seeing that her plea for help was futile, Xu Huaning was like a deflated ball and sighed. “Alright.”
Seeing that everyone was dilly-dallying, the director couldn’t help but stand up and remind them, “Please hurry up, everyone, because you still have to procure your cooking ingredients later.”
Liao Jiake: “Huh? So we need to prepare our own ingredients for lunch later?”
The director: “Yes, for the next few days, our production team will not be providing any ingredients. We need everyone to be self-sufficient.”
Meng Chuyuan frowned slightly and asked a crucial question. “Then do we still have a chance to increase our fundings?”
“Yes, we will let everyone do missions. You will obtain labor remunerations according to your ranking in these missions.”
Everyone:
[Ahahahaha. Fortunately, Sister Meng had just eaten her fill. Otherwise, she would really be hungry.]
[This is a little too ruthless. Renting equipment costs them a lot of money. Now, the guests still need to buy the ingredients themselves with money, hahaha.]
[Sister Meng: It doesn’t matter. I’m already full. There’s still enough food left for me to eat another meal. I shouldn’t be hungry today.]
[But I think that they should try to be self-sufficient when camping. That’s more interesting.]
Perhaps it was the director’s words that made the other guests feel pressured. It suddenly felt like they had been set an impossible challenge. Everyone began to study how to build a tent.
Both teams also rented two tents, one for the boys and one for the girls.
The larger tents had more skeletons and were more complicated to build. If one did not pay attention when building it, they could easily make a mistake.
The three girls on Liao Jiake’s side were setting up the big tent at the same time, leaving Qi Zhen to organize his own tent.
[Why didn’t anyone buy an inflatable tent? I think that’s easier.]
[Because the price of an inflatable tent is more expensive than an ordinary tent. They don’t have that much money, hahaha.]
[I think Qi Zhen’s side is the funny one. He’s juggling the poles alone and no one is helping him. I suddenly pity this younger brother.]
Seeing that Qi Zhen, who was squatting alone at the side, did not produce much results after a long time, the idea of dividing labor was quickly eliminated by Meng Chuyuan’s group.
“Let’s stick together.”
“Hold up the pole first, then put it through the ring hole.” Meng Chuyuan took the tent pole and pieced them together.
Liao Jiayan: “Okay.”
Meng Chuyuan’s group chose to set up the girls’ tent first.
When they first started, they seemed very unfamiliar with the process and they did not have much skill. They were all still trying to figure it out through practice. If their steps were wrong, they would quickly correct them.
However, Xu Huanning’s group did not seem to have much patience. As one problem emerged after another, the team broke out in a dispute.
At first, the three of them were also cooperative. They connected the tent poles and installed the tent cloth on them one by one. In the end, they realized that the tent they built was different from what they had expected.
Liao Jiake noticed that there was something wrong with the tent and immediately pointed it out. “No, it’s the other way around. It should be like this…”
“Yun Shu, the pole you’re holding is wrong. It should be supporting the top of the tent.”
“Oh.” Hearing this, Zhang Yunshu quickly put down the billing rod in her hand and handed it to Liao Jiake.
“Hey, that’s not right…” Liao Jiake realized that she had made a mistake in her judgment and started to ask Zhang Yunshu to pass her another billing rod again. “Bring that over for me to take a look.”
Zhang Yunshu: “Alright, sis.”
Liao Jiake rambled on for a while, which made Xu Huanning, who didn’t have any construction skills, very unhappy. She even felt that Liao Jiake was a little noisy beside her.
Seeing that she was ordering Zhang Yunshu around shamelessly, Xu Huanning really couldn’t stand it anymore.
After Zhang Yunshu handed her the billing rod, Xu Huanning called her over.
“Sister Yun Shu, come and help me hold the pole.”
“Alright.” Zhang Yunshu didn’t show any signs of reluctance even though her two older sisters were taking turns calling her over to help. She was still quite optimistic.
She went over to support Xu Huaning and they successfully fixed up one side of the tent.
On the other side, Liao Jiake also needed help.
“Yun Shu, why are you leaving? We aren’t done yet.”
Zhang Yunshu heard the call and was about to walk over when Xu Huanning suddenly looked at Liao Jiake and said impolitely, “Can you stop giving orders?
We’ve all never set up a tent before. Why are you pretending to be an expert? Don’t you know how many times you’ve made a mistake?”
“…” Liao Jiake was suddenly a little stunned by the rebuttal. She looked at Xu Huanning innocently and looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
[F*ck! Since when did Xu Huanning become a big-shot? How dare she talk to Liao Jiake like this?]
[This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with status… Liao Jiake’s behavior just now was quite annoying. She didn’t know how to set up a tent to begin with, but she still had to act like she knew it very well.]
[I really can’t blame Xu Huaning for being angry. If it were me, I would hate it if someone kept talking to me while I was working. It’s like they’re trying to cause trouble for me. It really affects my mood.]
[Isn’t there anyone who pities our Sister Yun Shu? She’s really sensible to the point that it makes my heart ache. Just now, both sides asked her for help, but she didn’t reject them.]
Xu Huaning was furious. She couldn’t care less. After scolding Liao Jiake, she felt better and continued to set up the tent.
Zhang Yunshu stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. She wanted nothing more than to lower her head and find a hole to hide in.
It took Meng Chuyuan and the others nearly half an hour to set up a tent. With their previous experience, there was no need for four people to set up the remaining small tents.
“Two people should be able to set up this tent, right? Then, let’s send two people to find the lunch ingredients.” Meng Chuyuan’s gaze swept across the three of them and asked, “Who wants to stay to set up the tent, position the tables and chairs, and sort out the pots and pans?”
“I’ll set up the tent.” The remaining tent belonged to Lu Jinsen, so naturally he should stay.
Qi Yan cleared her throat and said awkwardly, “I’ll help him.”
Their campsite was still a distance away from the village. Qi Yan did not want to follow them to go out and suffer, so she took the initiative to ask to stay. [Oh my! Miss Qi’s behavior today is quite surprising.]
[Has Qi Yan forgotten that she has a biological younger brother? Over there, no one has been caring about Qi Zhen, and yet his biological sister is helping someone else’s younger brother… I suddenly want to interview Qi Zhen about how he feels at this moment?]
[Reply to the comment above: It seems you don’t understand. Other people’s younger brothers are better..]
