With a peck of plans stored in his stomach, Rong Gui got up ambitiously the next day.
The person who firmly insisted on sleeping for eight full hours per day actually slept one hour less this time, and got up earlier. Being unplugged from the charger in advance, Xiao Mei, who had developed a fixed habit of resting for eight hours daily in these few days, was now the person who couldn’t get used to it.
“How can we sleep in? We are the ones who have to save money to go to the city!!! We have to work hard!!!!!!!” Speaking loudly, the shabby little robot walked fast all the way to the field ridge outside.
Xiao Mei quickly followed behind him.
Staring at the back of the other person, he thought to himself: No wonder why your body parts always wore out faster than mine even though we were made of the same materials. It’s like driving a car with a maximum speed of 20 km/h at a speed of 40 km/h – it would be strange if the car doesn’t break down.
Darting into the earth bean field, Rong Gui began to work.
Yet, while dreams were like plump beauties, the reality resembled a skinny skeleton, so skinny that…it looked like Rong Gui’s current physical body.
After quietly watching Rong Gui working for a while, Xiao Mei said: “You’d better get up at your usual time in the future. When you get up one hour earlier every day, you also cause one more hour of destruction every day.”
Rong Gui, who was so frustrated that he couldn’t even cry out tears: ……
After cleaning up the mess made by Rong Gui, and seeing that it’s almost the time, Xiao Mei started working without haste.
He had grown earth beans before. When he used to live here, he circled a small piece of land. He would observe how others grew their earth beans, and then go home to plant his own. He kept records of the growth of each earth bean, which analyzed in full details how different conditions would affect the earth beans’ development. After two crops of earth beens had been successfully harvested, his earth bean field, though the smallest and without good quality seeds, was the most productive.

“Sigh…these earth beans are so small. My current figure is already too small, yet the largest earth beans are only as big as the palm of my hand. Are we able to sell them out?”
Xiao Mei, who had just now been feeling in his heart that he grew his earth beans large and well: ……
He turned away silently. I won’t talk to you.
Completely unaware that he had hurt Xiao Mei’s soul of a craftsman, Rong Gui was picking up earth beans dug out by Xiao Mei from aside. Probably because he was afraid of hurting his own delicate skin during the massage in these few days, Rong Gui’s ability to master his strength had greatly improved. He could now finally pick up all earth beans and earth bean seeds back to the basket without damaging their outer skin.
They harvested a lot, but most of the earth beans had to be eaten by themselves, and they could put at most four or five of them into the basket in the cellar every day.
“I will improve the component extractor to see if the extraction efficiency can be further enhanced.” Eventually, Xiao Mei finished his work. He suddenly spoke upon seeing the earth bean basket in Rong Gui’s hand, as if he had heard Rong Gui’s inner thoughts.
“…Emm, this…can really only be counted on you.” Rong Gui scratched his head. He basically couldn’t help with anything like sowing and planting, not to mention those high-end works such as developing devices. Their limited resources were barely enough for him to waste!
Rong Gui racked his brain to think of what he could do. Instantly, with a “beep”, the small light bulb in his brain lit up!
“I can study the earth bean residue that was left over after the completion of every extraction. It may be used to make facial masks! Aiya – that’s my strong point. How come I didn’t think of it a few days ago?”
As a result, while Xiao Mei was researching on the improvement of component extractor today, Rong Gui gleefully applied a thick layer of the residue extracted out of the earth beans that day to their two bodies.
“Well, I feel these earth beans are quite similar to the potatoes we have there. The potatoes in our place can be used as facial mask ingredient, and they even have scar removal effect! I don’t know about earth beans, but it won’t be wrong to have a try and apply them!”
Ignoring Rong Gui’s nagging, Xiao Mei concentrated on improving the device.
Soon, Rong Gui had no time to talk to Xiao Mei as well. It’s a fairly pleasant and easy job to apply the mask, but removing it would be a big project. After all, he applied the earth bean residue to an entire body!
Wait, wrong! Since there were two people, he actually applied it to two entire bodies!
He was very careful with his job, and even applied the residue on areas which would be easily neglected such as neck and armpits. So when the masks were almost dry, how to get them off became a big problem, as they were almost stuck on the bodies of both people.
Yet Rong Gui truly lived up to his name as a person who had years of experience in applying masks. He quickly found the right method: He could rub them off.
He even had a surprising discovery during this “rubbing” process: No one knew whether it’s because the cuticle layer had been fully soaked during the moistened mask application process, he found that the old skin buildups on his body could actually be rubbed off!
The residue of these earth beans could actually serve as a natural body scrub!
Once applying the earth bean mask to the whole body, Rong Gui’s body became two full shades lighter! Xiao Mei’s body next to it was even brighter and smoother –
Just as white as an incandescent light bulb!
Thus, when Xiao Mei came over with the improved component extractor, Rong Gui could also happily show Xiao Mei his “research results”.
For the whole afternoon, no one’s time was wasted, and they allowed both (bodies) to get better.
What a pleasant division of labor!
Author has something to say:
Before going to the city, one needs to save money (earth beans)
And to primp up himself~
by Rong Gui
In other words, it is:
You’re responsible for making money and raising the family, while I’ll be responsible for looking pretty~
Eh hem
They are so cute!❤️ Thank you for the update
I like the simplicity of their minds
Its almost like the two of them are the only ones in the world
It’s so nice to know that Ah Gui has improved.
I wanna see Ah Gui coaxing Xiao Mei QWQ
Ah Gui is so energetic. I really wish I was that energetic. I feel so lazy everyday.
Lemme have Ah Gui for a while. I need him to help me glow up QWQ
LMAO with the AN
Thank you very much for this chapter!! Stay safe~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
