After listening to Huang Lei's explanation, Xiao Yiran also became interested: "What kind of small jobs are we going to do? This is a village, so there shouldn't be many people who need to hire small laborers?"

"Well, it's really not much. The one we went to today was also found by the show team with great difficulty. We used to help each other build houses, and if we worked a day, we would earn [*] yuan. We rely on the income we earn to come here. As the next living expenses."

He Jiong smiled and said to Xiao Yiran.

"Building a house? The show crew really found a good job!"

Hearing He Jiong's words, Xiao Yiran couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that all of them would be affected next.

Xiao Yiran also saw villagers build houses when he was a child. They would not hire professional construction workers. They were all help from villagers in the past.

The turning heads, girders, and foundation stones needed to build a house, and there are no tools such as cranes to transport them. They all rely on people to carry them on their shoulders, and they are simply using people as livestock!

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard that everyone was going to help people build a house, they were all in an uproar.

"Really? The show crew is preparing to exhaust these guests to death!"

"Oh my God, the show crew is really cruel! I just want to know, how many of these guests can survive?"

"Today's work is really tiring. You see, Cai Xiaokun's face is dark, haha!"

"Let's see... Indeed, Cai Xiaokun is really miserable this time. With his small physique, it's not a disservice if he doesn't help!"

Some viewers are worried about the guests, but others are gloating at the misfortune and watching the fun is not too big of a problem.

And Cai Xiaokun, who was mentioned by them, looked really ugly at this time.

Cai Xiaokun originally thought that participating in the variety show "Longing for Life" was to come over to eat and drink, and then just take the money and leave when the show was over. How could he think that he would actually have to do heavy work!

Cai Xiaokun's family is in good condition. He was pampered since he was a child. Usually, he didn't even clean the sanitation. How could he do such a job as building a house?

Because of the live broadcast, Cai Xiaokun doesn't have much to say now, but he is extremely repulsive in his heart, and he already regrets participating in this variety show.

Led by He Jiong and Huang Lei, the group walked on the mountain road for about half an hour, and stopped in front of a small construction site where a house was being built.

This is an ordinary farmer, and the surrounding walls and houses in the yard have been torn down and re-leveled.

Outside the yard were piles of red bricks, stones, wood and floor slabs neatly stacked, and some villagers were busy carrying these things into the yard.

Since He Jiong took them to stop here, he thought that this should be the place for them to work as small workers.

When they finally reached their destination, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 167 I want to learn a technique!

It's not easy for everyone to walk down the mountain road for half an hour.

For example, Cai Xiaokun, who was obviously weak in physical strength, was so tired that he almost collapsed on the ground.

Cai Xiaokun found a place in the open space at will, and regardless of the dirt on the ground, he just sat down and rested.and

Peng Peng, Zifeng and others were similar, and everyone was very tired.

They usually live in the city, where have they walked through such a rugged mountain road!

Walking on the mountain road and pressing the road in the city are two completely different experiences.

On a flat road, you may not feel tired after walking a dozen kilometers.

But if you walk on a rugged mountain road, and you have no experience in mountain roads, I am afraid that you will be too tired to walk after two or three kilometers.

At this time, a man who looked like a foreman came out of the yard after seeing the group of the show crew.

He Jiong immediately stepped forward and shook hands with each other with a smile on his face, and then the two sides began to talk in local dialect.

Xiao Yiran had to admire He Jiong, he seemed to be able to get along with anyone, and he knew a variety of dialects, so he didn't have to worry about language barriers no matter where he went.

The foreman and He Jiong communicated for about five or six minutes before walking towards Xiao Yiran and the others.

"You, you, you two go to move bricks! You go over there to carry the mud bucket! You two women go to the mud, you go to tie the steel bar..."

After walking in front of Xiao Yiran and the others, the foreman used poor Mandarin to arrange work for Xiao Yiran and the others.

Cai Xiaokun and Huang Lei were arranged to move bricks, Peng Peng was arranged to carry mud buckets, Xiao Yiran was arranged to tie steel bars, and Zifeng and Guan Tongtong were arranged to work with cement.

The foreman did not know Xiao Yiran and the others, and his arrangements were basically random, and he would arrange them wherever there was a shortage of people.

Only Zifeng and Guan Tongtong were assigned jobs that did not require much physical strength and cement because they were girls.

Everyone basically agreed with the arrangement of the foreman. Only Cai Xiaokun was a little dissatisfied. He felt that the work of moving bricks was too tiring.

"Excuse me, can I do another job?"

Cai Xiaokun immediately asked the foreman.

Hearing Cai Xiaokun's words, the foreman's brows suddenly wrinkled.

Usually on the construction site, the foreman is one-of-a-kind, and no one dares to be picky about the work he arranges.

His attitude has always been that he loves to do it, quit it and get out!

But the foreman also knew that Cai Xiaokun and the others were all big stars, and this time they came here just for fun, not really wanting to work here.

Since this is the case, it is of course impossible for the contractor to treat Cai Xiaokun and the others like ordinary workers.

"What do you want to do?"

The subcontractor patiently asked Cai Xiaokun.

"Well... I want to tie steel bars! I don't have any skills in moving bricks. I want to learn how to tie steel bars."

Cai Xiaokun thought for a while, and immediately said to the foreman.

Cai Xiaokun knew that working with cement was the easiest job, but no matter how thick-skinned he was, it was impossible for him to grab the jobs of the two girls, Zifeng and Guan Tongtong.

"Tie steel bars? Okay, then you can also tie steel bars!"

Hearing Cai Xiaokun's words, the foreman thought for a while, but nodded in agreement.

As for Cai Xiaokun's careful thoughts, the foreman seemed to be watching the fire, and he was also very disdainful of Cai Xiaokun, but he still agreed.

Anyway, Cai Xiaokun and the others didn't really come to work as small laborers, and the contractors were of course very casual about their arrangements.

The construction site is full of radishes and pits, there are no redundant people, and everyone is useful.

If someone else wants to change jobs, there will definitely be someone to fill his vacancy.

But when it was Cai Xiaokun's turn, they didn't need to be so troublesome.

The construction site is so busy, the contractor has no time to waste too much time with Xiao Yiran and the others.

The audience in the live broadcast room also saw Cai Xiaokun's initiative to request to tie steel bars. They didn't see Cai Xiaokun's careful thinking, so they praised him one after another.

"I didn't expect this dish Xiaokun to learn very well!"

"Well, not bad! It's also very good to be able to learn a technique while recording a show."

"I just don't know if Cai Xiaokun can persevere? Just don't give up halfway!"

Everyone was very curious as to what they were going to do later.

After the foreman arranged everyone's work, he immediately announced the start of work.

Huang Lei, Peng Peng, Zifeng and Guan Tongtong all went to their jobs according to their assigned jobs.

Xiao Yiran and Cai Xiaokun also went to the place where steel bars were tied not far away.

The so-called "tie the steel bar" is actually to use the steel wire to twist the steel bar together, and fix the steel bar to prevent the steel bar from loosening.

There was already an old master in his early fifties busy here. When he saw Xiao Yiran and Cai Xiaokun coming over, he smiled honestly at them, as if he didn't know what to say.

Cai Xiaokun frowned and looked at the shoes that were covered with dirt, with disgust written all over his face, and he didn't pay any attention to the old master's intentions.

And Xiao Yiran smiled and said to the old master: "Hello, master, we are new here, we will help you tie the steel bars together, and ask the master to teach us how to do it."

"It's very simple, just watch me do it once!"

The old master smiled, showing his big yellow teeth, and spoke in the local dialect.

Xiao Yiran didn't understand it very well, but seeing the other party's next move, he almost guessed the other party's meaning.

The old master first placed five steel wires on the ground at equal intervals, then he picked up the steel bars next to him and placed them on top of those steel wires one by one.

After placing the four steel bars, the old master bent the five steel wires on the ground with force, and then tightened the steel bars one by one with pliers.

By the time the old master was done, the steel bars on the ground were tightly tied together.

"Have you learned?"

The old master asked Xiao Yiran and Cai Xiaokun.

Both Cai Xiaokun and Xiao Yiran understood these words.

"let me try!"

Xiao Yiran spoke first.

After speaking, Xiao Yiran imitated the old master, picked up the steel wire beside him and placed it on the ground.

Then he took out four more steel bars and put them on top of the wires, and finally tightened the wires with pliers.

"Yes, that's how it is done!"

Seeing Xiao Yiran's steel bars, the old master nodded with satisfaction and praised.

"It's too easy, right? I'll try it too!"

Hearing the master's praise of Xiao Yiran, Cai Xiaokun's pushy nature was exposed again.

He imitated the old master and Xiao Yiran, and squatted down to tie up a bundle of steel bars.

"Yes, that's it!"

The old master smiled and praised Cai Xiaokun again.

Cai Xiaokun suddenly looked proud and gave Xiao Yiran a sideways glance,

"Since you've all learned it, I'll leave the work here to you, and I'll do the rest."

The old master finally said something to Xiao Yiran and Cai Xiaokun, and then left.

After the old master left, Xiao Yiran and Cai Xiaokun ignored each other and squatted down and got busy.

Noticing that the live camera was facing him, Cai Xiaokun rolled his eyes and immediately accelerated the speed of tying the steel bars.
