After receiving the pork provided by the production team, Huang Lei was ready to find a place to cook dinner, but he realized that there was no place to cook in the house. Therefore, he came out to discuss with Xu Cang and He Jiong to get a stove in the courtyard.
As the saying goes," The world is big, but food is the most important." At this time, the sky was getting dark, and everyone's stomach was already growling with hunger. Moreover, Huang Lei was the head of the gang, so Xu Cang and He Chi naturally had no objections.
Xu Cang looked at He Fu's small body and said,""How about this? Teacher Huang and I will set up the stove together. Teacher He, go out and take a look at the vegetable field that the program team has arranged for us. We will be prepared to break the corn tomorrow so that we won't be confused.”
Huang Lei nodded in agreement. Teacher He, Little Cang and I will be fine here. If you see any vegetables in the vegetable field, help me pick a few.”
He Fou knew that the two were afraid that he would be tired, so he was very touched. He nodded without being pretentious and said,"Alright, then I'll go to our vegetable field and take a look.”
After the three of them divided the work, He Fou left the mushroom house and went to the vegetable field. Huang Lei began to plan the stove. Xu Cang remembered that when he first arrived, he saw a lot of solid bricks piled up at the door. It seemed that the program team knew that the mushroom house could not cook, so they deliberately put the bricks there.
He immediately got up and went to the warehouse. He found two big baskets and brought them to the pile of bricks outside the door. The cameraman Xiao Li beside him used the lens to faithfully record him arranging the solid bricks neatly into the basket. His eyes were filled with surprise.
One had to know that this was a standard concrete brick of 240mm x 115mm x 53mm. Each brick weighed at least four to five pounds. Two large backbaskets would need at least seventy to eighty bricks to be fully filled, and it would weigh four to five hundred pounds, right?
Young people nowadays could not even carry 400 to 500 catties of rice. It would probably be difficult for them to carry 150 catties of rice for a few hundred meters.
However, reality was not as simple as what people imagined. After Xu Cang filled the two big baskets with bricks, under the surprised gaze of the photographer, Xiao Li, he first easily carried one of the big baskets with bricks on his back. Then, he grabbed the other basket by both sides and hugged it in his arms. He walked steadily towards the mushroom house as if he was walking on flat ground.
"F * ck…This is a f * cking monster!" The cameraman, Xiao Li, shivered. He had been forced to change his worldview.
Xu Cang, who had sharp ears and eyes, heard that Xiao Li was so frightened that he was cursing. He only turned his head and smiled at him. He did not take it to heart at all.
In fact, this weight was not a problem for him at all. In the army where the strong relied on their strength to speak, if he did not have the slightest bit of strength and skill, he would have been eliminated long ago. How could he have stayed for eight years?
Soon, the two of them walked into the mushroom house one after another. Huang Lei was so surprised that he couldn't speak when he saw Xu Cang carrying two large baskets of bricks on his back. After a short moment of absent-mindedness, he hurriedly went forward to help Xu Cang remove the bricks from his body and said in admiration,"Not bad, Little Cang... I didn't expect you to be so strong!"
Xu Cang didn't comment. He put down the bricks in the basket and smiled."It's alright! In the past, he did rough labor in the army, but he got used to it over time.”
Urgh! "You were a soldier before?" Huang Lei was stunned.”
"Yes... He just retired less than two weeks ago." Xu Cang didn't want to talk about the army to outsiders, so he changed the topic decisively and said,""Teacher Huang, these bricks might not be enough. I'll go and bring a few more baskets over.”
As he spoke, he picked up the two empty boxes and walked out.
After watching Xu Cang leave, Huang Lei waved at the executive director, Wang Zhengyu. He walked to a corner and asked softly,""Old Wang, who is this Little Cang?”
In fact, he, He Fu, and the executive director had known each other for a long time in private. Otherwise, they wouldn't have thrown slippers at him at the beginning of the show.
"What's wrong? Did he do something wrong?”Wang Zhengyu asked.
Huang Lei shook his head and praised," It's not that it's not good. It's just that it's completely beyond my expectations. He's hardworking and humble. It's just that he's too mysterious. I can't see through him…"
Hearing Huang Lei's praise for Xu Cang, Wang Zhengyu couldn't help but feel honored. He patted his old friend's shoulder and said earnestly,""In that case, I hope that the two of you will be able to get along happily in the future. There might even be unexpected benefits. As for Little Cang's identity…I'm sorry, I can't tell you for now, but you'll know in the future.”
It wasn't that Wang Zhengyu didn't want to say it, but the big shot behind him had told him not to reveal Xu Cang's identity. As for why, he didn't know.
Hearing his old friend's warning, Huang Lei took a deep look at Wang Zhengyu. Even someone as smart as him knew that there were some things that a mentor like him could not get involved in. He also believed that his old friend would definitely not harm him, so he immediately nodded to show that he understood.
After the two of them talked for a while, Huang Lei returned to the courtyard to set up the stove. After a while, He Jiong also carried some vegetables that had just been picked from the vegetable field back to the mushroom house. He happily told Huang Lei about all the interesting things in the vegetable field. After a while, Xu Cang also returned with two baskets full of bricks. He Jiong quickly stood up and helped him unload the heavy objects.
Seeing Xu Cang pick up the empty frame again and prepare to move the bricks, Huang Lei hurriedly stopped him."There are enough bricks. Little Cang, you don't have to move anymore…Hurry up and sit down, drink some water and rest!”
"That's right! Little Cang, look at your forehead full of sweat. You must be exhausted! Go over there and have a drink of water and rest. Teacher Huang and I will do the rest.”He Fou also said with heartache.
When he touched Xu Cang, he felt that the brick in the basket was not light at all. It almost hurt his old waist. It was only now that he knew how strong Xu Cang was.
Xu Cang wiped his sweat and waved his hand. I can't stop myself from working. Coincidentally, I saw a lot of yellow mud outside just now. Since it's still early, I'll go get some for the stove later.”
Then, he turned around and took out a dustpan from the warehouse. He didn't give Huang Lei and He Fu any chance to refuse. The two teachers looked at each other and could only smile helplessly.
Time passed by slowly. Under the concerted efforts of Huang Lei, He Fou, and Xu Cang, the stove was finally built. After they lit a fire to heat up the stove, Huang Lei started to get busy with the ingredients.
