I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

This time, everyone's fishing rod was the same, which was newly bought by Chen Guanghui from the town, and Song Anning did not ask the system for help.

Feeling the sea breeze, I relaxed my body and mind, sat on a small bench, ate some fruit, and waited for the fish to bite.

Although Chen Guanghui, who was not far away, did not catch any fish, he was not as impatient as before. He recalled the fishing techniques that Song Anning taught him, put bait on the rod and cast it, looking very steady.

After several rounds of competition, to everyone's surprise, the usually powerful Song Anning only ranked third. The first place was Yu Xiaohai, and the second place was Song Erhe's grandson Song Tianbao.

Chen Guanghui had a gloomy face and looked a little depressed.

"Xiao Hai was born in a fishing village. His family does this business, so it's normal that he is good at fishing.

But what about Tianbao? He'd never even seen the ocean, never held a fishing rod, and yet he caught so much on his first try. How could he possibly go to court?

What's the point of all the years of fishing I've been doing?"

Chen Guanghui muttered, Song Anning and Old Man Pan smiled at each other and replied in unison:

"Thank you for your hard work..."

"..."

Hard work seems to be far behind absolute talent.

Chen Guanghui felt sad, but he was powerless and felt depressed.

"Disciple, have you forgotten what I said?

Who cares what others do? Compare yourself to yourself. It is enough if you are better tomorrow than you are today."

It was very rare for Old Man Pan to say a few more words.

"Yes, Chen family boy, I still remember the first time I met you and Aning. At that time, you couldn't catch any fish. You were scratching your head and your heart was restless.

It’s only been two or three months, and you’re much stronger than before, so you should be content…”

After the two of them said this, Chen Guanghui felt much better and took a group of children to go fishing on the reef.

Song Anning and Old Man Pan did not participate and prepared to go back to the awning to rest for a while.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard the voices of Wang Ying'er and my aunt talking from inside.

"I heard that Aning is going on a long trip. Is it okay for a little girl to stay outside all the time?

I see you two don't have any objections, are you really that relieved?"

Wang Ying'er laughed, "Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. It would be a lie to say I'm relieved.

My son is fine. He is safer outside. He has thick skin and is not afraid of getting hurt when practicing martial arts.

But this girl is different, especially my daughter Aning. I have never let her do any heavy work since she was a child. A few days ago, she told me that she wanted to go out for a trip with Mr. Pan. Her father and I didn’t sleep for half the night.

But then again, what future can we have if we stay in the village all the time? We will just be like us, digging for food in the soil and looking up at the world of Banyue Village.

As an apprentice of Mr. Pan, she was destined to have good martial arts skills, recognize medicinal herbs, learn medical skills, travel all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and make friends with all kinds of people.

This is what Aning likes to do, and no matter how worried we are, we won't say it out loud so as not to hinder the child."

Wang Ying'er's words stunned the women next to her, including Mrs. Chen Guangming and Xiao Yao.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

As mothers, they understand Wang Ying'er's concerns and also admire her foresight.

Song Anning stood outside the tent, feeling depressed and with red eyes.

These parents never said anything. As long as it was the right thing to do, as long as Song An Ning spoke, they would respect her decision.

At this time, Old Man Pan shouted across the tent:

"Aning's mother, you don't have to worry.

She stays by my side, and her skin is never broken. She has so many senior brothers and sisters protecting her. This girl is enjoying herself."

When Wang Ying'er heard the voice, she hurried out and bowed.

"I'll leave Aning to you. Thank you for your care."

Old Man Pan waved his hand, gave her a little support, and said with a smile:

"Aning is smart and courageous, and it is my blessing to have her as my apprentice.

But we won't be away for too long. We'll be back every ten days or half a month. I'll teach the children for a few days, and Aning can rest at home."

Hearing that he could come back every ten days or half a month, Wang Ying'er felt a lot more relieved.

It was noon, and the cooks and maids in the Chen Mansion had prepared the ingredients. They all sat down facing the sea and started the barbecue feast.

There were fresh fish they had just caught, as well as shells, clams, shrimps and crabs that the children had found at the beach...

Wash the thin stone slab clean, add a fire underneath, and bake the stone slab until it is hot.

Grab two handfuls of plump white clams and put them on top. After a while, the clams will open and the fresh fragrance will fill your nose.

Seawater itself contains salt, so you don’t even need to add salt when grilling seafood. Let the grilled shellfish cool down a little and take a bite. You will find the meat is plump, fresh and delicious.

"No wonder everyone loves the beach. The scenery is so beautiful and the seafood is so delicious."

"Since you like it, then eat more. The good thing about being by the sea is that you can always get plenty of seafood."

"Hahaha……"

The adults were toasting each other, chatting and talking about everything, it was very lively.

The children squatted beside the stone slab and grilled the meat themselves. When they saw the marinated beef and mutton put on the stone slab, sizzling and sprinkled with seasonings, the little ones' mouths were watering.

"Wow! The beef is so delicious!

This is the first time I’ve ever eaten beef!”

"It's my first time eating it too! It tastes better than chicken or pork."

In the Nanyue Dynasty, oxen could not be slaughtered at will. Only wealthy families could find ways to get some.

What they are eating now is the yak meat that Song Anning put in his backpack, which tastes better than buffalo and ox.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Song An Ning and Old Man Pan.

I saw the two of them pick up the washed vegetable leaves and spread them on the plate, pick up a few chili rings, put two slices of beef on it, dip them in some seasoning, and finally wrap them with vegetable leaves and put them in their mouths.

Seeing how happily they ate, everyone started to learn how to do it secretly.

It doesn't matter how you eat it. The vegetable leaves help to relieve the greasiness, the chili peppers add flavor to the meat, and with the barbecue seasoning that Aning brought out, the taste is amazing.

"Aning is still the best at eating!

This barbecue smells so good! It smells so good that I’m dizzy, hahaha…”

The sea breeze blew their laughter far away. There was no restraint at all. There were only two elderly people and their children enjoying the scenery, eating meat and imagining the future at the beach.

After dinner, everyone rested in the shed until the sun set. The red sun sank calmly into the sea. Several old men took everyone for a walk on the beach and took a boat out to sea. They lit a bonfire on the beach and stewed fresh sea fish in a big pot, bubbling.

After another hearty meal, it was getting dark and time to go back.

Some of the children had not played enough and boarded the boat reluctantly. The two families said goodbye at the dock. Thinking about what they saw and heard today, they had a different feeling in their hearts.

Sure enough, people still have to go out and walk around to see the diverse world.

The next day, the family got up early. They knew Aning was going out, and Wang Ying'er and Zhang were preparing clothes, shoes and socks for her.

These were all made by them in recent days, working hard and stitch by stitch.

Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.

This sentence is fully reflected at this moment.

After breakfast, Old Man Pan called all the children in the village to his yard and assigned them homework.

The women of the Song family surrounded Song An Ning and told her a lot.

"Aning, even if you don't go home, please ask someone to bring a message.

Do you have enough money? Grandma, can I get you some more?"

"Mother has sewn a new menstrual belt for you. Remember not to eat raw or cold food, and don't drink raw water, otherwise you will get worms in your stomach and you will have stomach pain during your period."

No one noticed that Song Feng was standing at the gate. He was a tall and strong man, wiping his tears and crying like a dog.

It wasn't until Wang Ying'er went to the yard to get something and saw her husband's miserable appearance that she rolled her eyes to the sky.

"Look at you, you're such a loser. Why are you crying?"
