Chapter 39: Digging Bamboo Shoots
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Upon hearing Shen Yibo say that he wanted to go to the toilet, Han Jiangxue’s impatience instantly surged. She was just thinking that the little boy had finally become a lot more obedient, but to think he voiced such a request immediately after.
Han Jiangxue frowned and seemed very worried about Shen Yibo, “Didn’t you take your medicine? Why does your stomach still hurt?”
She looked at Ye Zhenzhen, who was gradually advancing further away, and felt a little anxious.
Ye Zhenzhen had been in the limelight the whole morning because she had sold oranges yesterday. As such, she had to be better than her in digging for bamboo shoots.
Most importantly, the result of digging bamboo shoots would affect their accommodation and travel expenses for the next day. She did not want to be the most shabby one and let the netizens laugh at her.
Shen Yibo clutched his stomach, “I don’t know, Mommy. I-I just want to go to the toilet right now.”
Han Jiangxue said to Shen Yibo softly, “Wait a while longer. There’s no toilet here. I’ll bring you there when we reach the place to dig bamboo shoots.”
[Yibo is so pitiful. Come, Auntie will hug you.]
[It must be because of the meat that Han Jiangxue ate in the morning. I already said that the meat hadn’t been stored in the fridge and is no longer edible.]
[There’s also that Chinese medicine. The doctor said that it should be taken after meals, yet she fed it to Yibo on an empty stomach. Perhaps it was that medicine plus the rotten meat that caused Baby Yibo’s stomach to hurt!]
[Didn’t Baby Yibo say he needed to go to the toilet? Why isn’t Han Jiangxue bringing the child to relieve himself?]
Soon, they arrived at the bamboo forest where they were to dig for bamboo shoots. Han Jiangxue put down the tools and basket in her hands and carried Shen Yibo to a place with fewer people.
By the time she returned with Shen Yibo, the other mothers had already started with their children.
Wu Yuerou didn’t know how to do this kind of work. Although she had tools in her hands, she didn’t manage to dig up anything.
Lin Qianqian and Xu Wanjia did it very smoothly. Lin Qianqian had filmed a scene of digging bamboo shoots on set before. She also told Xu Wanjia how to find the tip of the bamboo shoot and dig down.
Needless to say, Ye Zhenzhen was familiar with such activities as well. In her previous life, she would go to the mountains whenever she had time to do charity activities.
Among the mothers, Ye Zhenzhen was the fastest and most accurate at digging. She could find a nest of fresh bamboo shoots wherever she dug.
Han Jiangxue had started late, and while she was feeling smug about digging up a few bamboo shoots, Ye Zhenzhen’s basket was already full.
Seeing this, her smile froze.
How could Ye Zhenzhen be able to dig up bamboo shoots so quickly? How could she find so many?
[Oh my god! What kind of treasure is Ye Zhenzhen? How can she be so good at everything?]
[She’s gotten the chance to show off again!]
[She looks so weak. I didn’t expect her to be so frank.]
Ye Zhenzhen held Baby Chen’s hand and carried the bamboo shoots in the basket to Xiao Wen.
“This basket is full, so let’s weigh it first.”
At this rate, she could dig up a lot of bamboo shoots in a day.
The program team had already prepared professional tools. The quality inspection staff finished checking the bamboo shoots in Ye Zhenzhen’s basket and found none that were unqualified. Then, they weighed the bamboo shoots to be 20 kilograms.
Xiao Wen and the staff looked at Ye Zhenzhen with disbelief and admiration.
Xiao Wen smiled and asked, “Zhenzhen, have you dug bamboo shoots before?”
Ye Zhenzhen seemed quite familiar with the job, judging from the way she dug the bamboo shoots. It was as if she was used to it.
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and simply said, “I just watched people digging bamboo shoots on TV. I was just lucky and managed to dig a few bamboo shoot nests.”
She didn’t have any memories of the original owner of this body going into the mountains to dig for bamboo shoots, so she couldn’t expose herself.
Xiao Wen nodded lightly, “Then you’re really amazing!”
[Ye Jianjian does know how to show off. She’s just lucky though.]
[Can the anti-fans get lost? How can you slander Ye Zhenzhen for being humble?]
[Is that being humble? She’s just showing off]
Ye Zhenzhen asked Baby Chen if he wanted to rest for a while and the little boy shook his head, indicating that he wanted to continue digging bamboo shoots with her.
With that, the two of them continued to happily dig for bamboo shoots.
Ye Zhenzhen’s actions were quick and she dug a lot of them. Baby Chen helped to pick up one or two, while the rest were quickly placed into the basket by Ye Zhenzhen.
After Han Jiangxue dug out a few more bamboo shoots, Shen Yibo’s stomach started rumbling again.
“Mommy, I… I want to go to the toilet again.”
When Han Jiangxue heard Shen Yibo’s request to go to the toilet again, she was furious. This little fatty only knew how to drag her down other than eating.
If he had not been making a fuss to relieve himself just now, she would not have let Ye Zhenzhen get such a good spot which resulted in her digging up a basket of bamboo shoots in no time.
Although Han Jiangxue was angry, she was surrounded by cameras and staff members. Hence, she suppressed her anger and carried Yibo to a place with fewer people.

With the delay, she only dug half a basket of bamboo shoots in the morning, which was only about 11 kilograms in total.
Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian’s harvest was not bad.
Xu Wanjia had dug up some unqualified old bamboo shoots. After removing them, she had harvested 23 kilograms of bamboo shoots.
Lin Qianqian didn’t dig up any old bamboo shoots, and the qualified ones weighed a total of 28 kilograms.
Ye Zhenzhen harvested two and a half baskets of bamboo shoots consecutively. She was the one who dug up the most bamboo shoots in the morning, a total of 50 kilograms.
Wu Yuerou had it the worst. After digging for an entire morning, she only managed to dig up 6 kilograms of qualified bamboo shoots, just a few.
Lunch was provided by the program team. The program team had prepared a picnic cloth and found a relatively clean place to spread it so that the mothers and children could sit down and rest for a while after eating.
After Shen Yibo had lunch, his stomach no longer hurt. He, An Ruilin, and Song Yuchen started playing in the forest.
“Baby Chen, I saw a beautiful lake over there just now. Let’s go over there and play!” Shen Yibo laughed.
“Sure, let’s go and take a look.”
Ye Zhenzhen stood up immediately when she heard the word “lake”. She dashed in the direction the children were running in.
They were currently on a hill. Shen Yibo brought Song Yuchen to the back of the hill. It was no wonder she hadn’t seen a lake.
Ye Zhenzhen shouted as she ran, “Baby Chen, Yibo, don’t run around.”
When Song Yuchen heard Ye Zhenzhen calling him from behind, he stopped in his tracks obediently and waited for her to come over.
But Shen Yibo and An Ruilin were still playing around, so they didn’t heed the shouting.
Ye Zhenzhen did not remember how Song Yuchen fell into the lake in the original plot, but she had to avoid letting him get close to the lake today.
Rather, Song Yuchen was not the only one. The other children were the same.
“Shen Yibo, An Ruilin, come back quickly! Don’t go to the lake!” Ye Zhenzhen shouted.
The two children who were running forward heard her shouts and stopped in their tracks. They turned around and looked at Ye Zhenzhen.
Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou also came over.
Han Jiangxue went over and grabbed Shen Yibo’s hand, “Shen Yibo, what if you fall into the lake?”
