After a while, Chai Yan got tired of playing in the water, so he retreated and sat down on a stone nearby, smiling and watching the others playing quietly.
The most enthusiastic people are still Jimo Qiao and Guan Maochun. Ever since Guan Maochun mastered the skill of slugging, his skills have been improving rapidly. Although he is still a little behind Jimo Qiao, he can see that he will continue to do so.
It's possible to catch up with her.
When Yuan Yuan saw Chai Yan sitting aside, he stopped and turned around to walk towards Chai Yan.
When Chai Yan saw Yuan coming over, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you play anymore?"
Yuan asked back: "Then why don't you play anymore?"
Chai Yan pointed to his right shoulder and said with a wry smile: "I have thrown it too many times and my shoulder is so sore. Take a rest."
"Me too." Yuan Yuan said with a smile, walked over and sat on a stone next to Chai Yan.
The two of them looked at the three people playing happily by the pool, and the smiles on their faces never disappeared.
Suddenly, Guan Maochun suddenly raised his hands, raised his arms and shouted: "Yo ho! I won, I finally won!"
"No, not at all!" Jimo Qiao suddenly became anxious and pointed at the water surface and said: "How can you win? You obviously have fewer times than me, so you didn't win!"
It turned out that Guan Maochun and Jimo Qiao were competing to see whose pebbles bounced more times on the water. At that moment, Guan Maochun seemed to have surpassed Jimo Qiao.
But Guan Maochun was like a child, insisting that he had done it many times, and for a while he and Jimo Qiao couldn't stop arguing.
Neither of them listened to the other, so Guan Maochun went to ask Cheng Jiu: "Fourth brother, you just saw it, you come to judge!"
Cheng Jiu was very obedient. He shook his head and said, "No, no, no, no. I didn't see it. I was thinking about something just now and was distracted."
"Fourth brother, how come you..." Guan Maochun was speechless.
"Hahaha..." Jimo Qiao laughed immediately and continued: "Don't you understand? Your fourth brother said this deliberately because he was afraid that you would be sad. In fact, he had already seen clearly that you are the loser.
Yes! Hahaha..."
Guan Maochun said stubbornly: "Nonsense! That's not true at all. My fourth brother must not have seen it! No, it doesn't count this time. Let's compete again and win three out of five times!"
"Let's compete, no one is afraid of you!" Jimo Qiao said confidently.
When Cheng Jiu saw this, he wanted to walk away, but Guan Maochun shouted: "Fourth brother, if you become our judge, I don't believe I will lose to her!"
Cheng Jiu smiled and said: "It's just for fun, no need for a judge..."
"No, I want it!" Jimo Qiao also nodded.
Reluctantly, Cheng Jiu had no choice but to agree.
Next, the two started a water-floating competition at the water's edge to see who could throw more stones and bounce them on the water's surface more times!
Chai Yan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, if we take this trip today, we will almost lose all the stones by the water, right? Haha..."
Yuan thought it was funny and nodded.
Chai Yan looked up at the sky and sighed: "Madam, life like this is so pleasant!"
Yuan agreed: "Yes! It's so leisurely and happy..."
As he spoke, he saw Jimo Qiao jumping up with excitement on his face: "I won, I won! Yeah..."
Guan Maochun, who was next to him, said anxiously: "You just won, you have only won twice, and you are still missing one!"
"Ah?" Jimo Qiao stopped suddenly and said blankly: "Is there still one more time to go? How do I remember that I have won?"
Guan Maochun nodded vigorously: "Including this time, you win twice and I win once, so there is only one win left! If you don't believe me, ask my fourth brother!"
Cheng Jiu nodded and said, "Second Miss, it's true that you still have one more chance to win."
"Oh..." Jimo Qiao didn't say much, and immediately said: "Then come again...take the move!"
Saying that, Jimo Qiao threw another stone...
Chai Yan turned around with a smile and asked, "Madam, it's already noon. Are you hungry? How about we get something to eat?"
"How to get something to eat?" Yuan asked curiously.
Chai Yan happily took out a bunch of small cloth bags tied together from his sleeves, shook them and said, "Madam, what do you think these are?"
"What?" Yuan Yuan became even more curious.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Madam, this is the outdoor seasoning package set that your husband and I carefully prepared in advance. It contains salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon... Let's go hunt some game later and have a game.
How about a barbecue outdoors?”
"What a great idea!" Yuan thought it was interesting as soon as he heard it, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
Chai Yan shouted to the three people at the waterside: "Have you finished competing? Come here..."
After the three heard this, they walked up to Chai Yan.
Jimo Qiao's face was very happy, and she knew at a glance that she had won the game. Guan Maochun, who lost, seemed a little unconvinced, but he was still in a good mood.
"Are you all hungry?" Chai Yan asked everyone.
Jimo Qiao held his belly, looked at the sky again and said, "Yes, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me, it's time to go back for lunch!"
Chai Yan responded: "We'll have lunch here today."
"Eating here? What are you eating?" Jimo Qiao was very confused.
Chai Yan showed the seasoning packet in his hand and told everyone his thoughts.
As soon as they finished speaking, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun readily agreed without any hesitation.
Jimo Qiao asked a little doubtfully: "Is this possible? If we catch them now, when will we be able to eat them?"
Chai Yan said easily: "Don't worry, it will be soon..."
"Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun, you two go for a walk in the woods to see if there are any hares or muntjacs. The three of us will light a fire here and prepare for dinner when you come back!" Chai Yan arranged.
"Understood, sir."
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun agreed together and then went to the woods.
Then, Chai Yan said again: "Madam, you and Qiaoer go to collect some dry firewood and come back. I'll catch some fish so that you can have a taste of my little grilled fish cooking skills!"
"Can you catch fish?" Jimo Qiao seemed to have heard something strange.
Chai Yan took off his shoes and put on the hem of his shirt, and said: "Is it weird that I can catch fish? Okay, okay, hurry up and go about your business, there will be grilled fish to eat when you come back!"
At Chai Yan's urging, Jimo Qiao went into the forest with the kite with a puzzled expression on his face to collect dry firewood.
After a while, Chai Yan also stepped into the shallow water with his bare feet. The cold water immediately made Chai Yan's teeth chatter.
But after a while, Chai Yan got used to it and began to observe the underwater conditions around him, quietly waiting for any fish to swim into his catching range.
.............
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Yuan and Jimo Qiao came back from the woods. Both sisters held a lot of dry firewood in their arms.
The two of them were still talking and laughing as they walked, and they didn't know what they were talking about. They looked very happy.
When the two saw Chai Yan, who was still standing in the water, Jimo Qiao couldn't help but asked loudly: "Brother-in-law, have you caught any fish?"
Chai Yan turned his head and took a look, then pointed to a spot on the shore and replied: "What about that!"
Jimo Qiao immediately ran over excitedly while holding the dry firewood, but when he lowered his head and looked at the ground, he became disappointed: "Eh... why are there only so many?"
Yuan followed and took a look. It turned out that there were only three fish that Chai Yan had caught and landed, and each one was no larger than the size of a hand.
Chai Yan in the water seemed to hear Jimo Qiao's disgust, and couldn't help shouting: "What are you picky about? How about you try it instead!"
