Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

The sounds of laughter floated in the cold air, and time quietly came to 11 o'clock in the morning.

The majestic pelican statue by the Nebula Lake sparkles in the winter sun. It stands quietly, witnessing the years and rise and fall of Pelican Town.

At this time, all the residents of the town gathered around the statue, and the dark crowd half-surrounded the makeshift podium.

Mayor Lewis was standing on the podium under the statue of the sacred bird. His face was filled with a warm smile and his eyes revealed his determination and expectation for the future.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes swept through the crowd, finally landing on those young faces.

"Residents of Pelican Town, thank you for gathering here on this beautiful day." Like most formal occasions, Lewis opened with some polite words.

"This statue not only represents our commemoration of the pelican, but also a symbol of our unity in facing difficulties together. In the past days, we have experienced ups and downs together, but no matter when, we firmly believe that as long as we are united, no difficulties can defeat us."

"Sure enough, this is the same thing everywhere." Sean looked around boredly in the audience, while Abigail, who had played wild, was brought back by her mother Caroline.

Lewis continued, "I have good news for you all. The fundraising campaign for post-disaster reconstruction has been successfully completed. On behalf of the entire Pelican Town working group, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all!"

Lewis put down the microphone, took a half step back, and bowed deeply.

The applause from the audience surged like a tide.

"Also, our deputy mayor Geller was unable to come because he was still recovering from his injuries. He specifically asked me to express his gratitude to everyone. In order to repay everyone's kindness, Geller decided to donate 20G in his personal name for the co-construction fund of our town."

"At the same time, he also prepared the banquets for lunch and dinner today. Everyone can eat to their heart's content. It's a rare opportunity to make money from a wealthy family. Haha." Finally, Lewis, who was in a good mood, teased his colleague for the rare occasion.

As the mayor finished speaking, the scene once again erupted in warm applause and cheers.

The banquet was soon set up, and Lewis climbed up the pelican statue using a ladder according to the traditional ceremony.

He imitated the scene of his ancestors obtaining food from the sacred bird, carefully took out the food that had been offered in advance from the pelican's wide-open mouth, and distributed it to the residents one by one.

After the food was distributed, everyone started to sit around the fire and enjoy the open-air barbecue in winter.

The fire emitted a warm glow, dispelling the chill that had accumulated during the winter.

Sean transformed himself into a barbecue chef and was busy at the side. Several children surrounded him, staring at the sizzling and greasy barbecue.

Holding the barbecue tongs, Sean flipped the food on the grill, emitting an enticing aroma. The firelight reflected on his young face, making him look more handsome and charming.

After giving a piece of barbecue to Jas, Sean patted her on the head, took the barbecue plate, and led her to join the celebration.

-----------------

The afternoon sun shines through the clouds and onto the ice surface of Nebula Lake, reflecting brilliant light.

The residents of Pelican Town flocked to the lake, where the annual ice fishing competition would be held on the roped-off ice surface.

This year's ice fishing competition will be more distinctive than in the past, as it will be changed from a single-player competition to a two-player competition.

Competition rules: The veteran will guide the newcomer, who will stand outside the drawn straight line and throw the pole into an ice hole 5 meters away from him. This is a challenge not easy for the newcomer.

When the fish is hooked, an experienced fisherman can cross the drawn straight line and go to the ice hole to use a dip net to help catch the fish.

The competition lasts for two hours, and the one who catches the heaviest fish within two hours will be crowned the champion.

The prize money was 2G shared by the two, as well as a year's worth of fishing bait gift packs sponsored by event organizer Willy.

In addition, the fish caught will be served as dishes at the dinner and shared with all the townspeople.

"Sean, are you ready?" Willy, the owner of the fish market, came over and handed Sean an exquisite fishing rod in his hand, which he had specially prepared for the competition.

Sean stood up, brushed off the snow on his body, and said with a smile, "Of course, Mr. Willy, I'll trouble you for your guidance now."

Soon the contestants gathered, and with a command from Mayor Lewis, the competition officially began.

Each team has its own characteristics, and the lively scene on the lake forms an interesting contrast with the panic of the novices. Whenever a novices mess up, the audience can't help but burst into laughter and exclaim.

The postman Haji was young but strong. He cast his rod with all his strength, but the bait kept passing by the hole in the ice without entering.

His partner and cousin Alex was so angry that he stomped his feet on the ice. Because he stamped too hard, his feet slipped, causing the bucket next to him to roll into a ball.

His impatient look made him look like a big stupid bear, which made people laugh.

Compared with Haji, Harvey, as a doctor, may be overly cautious out of professional habit.

He cast the bait carefully every time, as if he was performing a delicate operation, which caused him to fall behind other members of the group. He wanted to ask his partner for help, but couldn't open his mouth because of his face.

His partner Elliott was standing by, leisurely and like an orator, holding a bucket and gesturing to the crowd. His leisurely and relaxed look was in stark contrast to Harvey, who was sweating anxiously.

Pam's funny performance made the audience laugh.

Being impatient, she left her partner behind and threw the bait into the ice cave early. The moment the fish was hooked, she swung the fishing rod without waiting for her partner Gus to go forward to scoop up the net. As a result, her feet slipped on the ice, and she fell off the stool, falling on her back.

This scene was so unexpected that the audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into thunderous laughter. Only Penny grabbed the ropes outside the arena with both hands and looked at her mother with a worried look on her face.

Feeling humiliated, Pam stood up, threw down her fishing rod, and glanced at the audience with an angry face, and everyone fell silent.

Finally, her partner, the good old Gus, stepped in and persuaded Pam to restart the game.

Robin's performance also made the audience laugh and cry. As a carpenter, she is usually very good at carpentry work, but she seemed a little flustered when it came to ice fishing.

Whenever a fish took the bait, she would always throw the rod hard, but the fish would often get away. What's more interesting is that once when she was throwing the rod, she didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation and the fishing line got tangled in Harvey's fishing line next to her.

The two people's fishing lines suddenly became tangled together, forming a tangled mess.

This made the already reserved Harvey sweat on his forehead, and their partners Demetrius and Elliot immediately stepped forward to untie the tangled fishing lines.

In the end, Robin was fined a certain amount of weight for affecting other people's competition under the ruling of Mayor Lewis.
