Chapter 195 He is willing
Facts have proved that males are more motivated when they are under pressure, and the result of the secret competition in their hearts is that their efficiency is several times higher.
Ruan Tang originally expected to finish digging up all the cassava in the field before dark today, but the men started competing with each other and finished digging in the afternoon.
"We've finished digging! Mother, let's go, let's go back quickly. You said at noon that you would teach us how to make delicious food with cassava." Jing Chu shook off the dirt on his body, ran to his mother and looked at her eagerly.
"Well, go to the river and wash them first. After I collect the remaining cassava, I'll come back and teach you."
"Okay." Jingchu is always the most enthusiastic when talking about eating.
As soon as the children left, the males in human form came around again with their long legs. Long Ming took credit for it in a subtle way, "Ruan Ruan, I dug this row."
"The row next to it is mine." Chi Yuan pointed to the row to Ruan Tang's right.
"Ruan Ruan, I dug it here. You can recognize it at a glance because there are very few broken ones." Bai Lang's chest straightened when he spoke. The two guys were the fastest, but broken pieces of cassava could be seen everywhere. Ruan Ruan had said that they should try not to break them.
Mo Bai walked over and said softly, "I seem to be digging the slowest. The ones that are broken off are covered in mud. Can they still be eaten?"
Lingze and Qixuan looked at the cassava they had dug. It seemed that they were not very fast, and quite a few of them were broken. They looked at each other and chose to shut up.
Ruan Tang's fingers touched the piles of cassava, and she quickly collected all the intact ones into the space, leaving the broken ones on the ground. She said to the males who were trying to win the prize, "Given that you all have shortcomings, those who dig quickly break too many, and those who break less don't dig quickly enough, considering all these factors, there will be no first place in today's competition. You can pick up the broken ones, peel them, wash them, and set them aside. I'll use them to teach you how to make food later."
The males who tried to win favor for the first time did not get the recognition from their partners and returned home empty-handed. They were all a little disappointed. While picking up cassava with the big animal skin bag given by Ruan Tang, they thought to themselves that they had to be more careful in the future.
Lin Yeqing was at the other end, collecting cassava while listening attentively to how Ruan Tang "trained" the men. Then, he left the damaged cassava that the men had dug on the ground and let them pick it up themselves...
After cleaning up and returning to the temporary residence, the cubs had already washed and returned. When they saw their mother coming back, they all gathered around her.
They said in unison: "Mom, we are clean now."
"Okay, now I'll give you guys a task," Ruan Tang said, pointing to the animal hide bag filled with cassava on the ground. "Mom will take a shower first, and you guys will be responsible for peeling these cassavas, okay?"
"Okay!"
Jingchu said, "How about we have another competition to see who can peel the most quickly?"
Mo Xiaosi said: "No, we have to see who can peel it the cleanest!"
She has a little baby vine, so she doesn’t have to peel these things herself, and it’s definitely the cleanest!
Seeing Mo Xiaosi's confident look, Yi Han thought for a moment and decided that he might not lose either, so he offered a punishment he could accept: "Okay, whoever comes last will give the first place a third-level crystal!"
When Mo Xiaoqi heard this, he refused directly: "Ah? It's not worth it, I don't want it!"
Yi Tian's claws landed directly on Mo Xiaoqi's head, and she said in a tone of disappointment, "What are you afraid of? You're admitting defeat before the competition even begins? Don't say from now on that I raised you."
"Woo~ But third sister, if we lose, we have to give them a third-level crystal. We have saved up so many with great difficulty..." Mo Xiaoqi knew that he was slow, and he didn't want to implicate his third sister.
Yitian was never one to admit defeat. Her mother had always said that no matter what the outcome, one must first take action. Only by trying hard could one avoid regrets even if one lost. She said, "Stop talking and be quick. Get a clean animal hide bag ready. Let's get started."
"Oh oh." The third sister's calm and composed tone made Mo Xiaoqi inexplicably feel more confident.
The little snakes were very silent this time. No one who spoke, even Chi Shiwu, who usually talked the most, did not express an opinion, because they knew their strengths and weaknesses. Peeling cassava was not something they were good at. Using the snake tail coils and their special abilities would definitely make it faster, but it would inevitably get them stuck in the mud... They didn't say anything, not because they thought they would definitely lose, but because they were looking for a solution to the problem.
Ruan Tang sat on a chair and looked at the children. She never worried that they would not do well in the tasks assigned to them, because from childhood to adulthood, as long as it was something within their capabilities, she would let them try to do it themselves. Even if they did not do well, they would still gain experience.
Now it seems that the results are remarkable. She doesn't need to say much, the children will find ways to complete it by themselves, and they will also demand of themselves to do things better!
The males bathed very quickly. Before Ruan Tang even started, they came back from the river one after another. Seeing Mo Ran helping Ruan Tang fill the bath water, Long Ming came over and took it: "I'll do it."
Mo Ran wanted to ward off Long Ming with his hands, but remembering that Ruan Tang hadn't rejected the dragon beastman's pursuit of her, he reluctantly pointed to the wooden barrel filled with water on the ground and said, "Put this barrel in the room on the far left of the first floor of the wooden house. That's where Ruan Ruan takes a bath."
"I understand." Long Ming didn't care about Mo Ran's eyes and tone. Having traveled all over the Orc Continent, he certainly knew that it was not easy for a male to integrate into a family. He used to be disdainful of it.
But now, in order to become the partner of that beautiful, smart and capable little female, he is willing!
