Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

The three arrived at the riverbank.

Shen Nian'an's eyes suddenly lit up. She tugged at Xia An's hand and pointed to the river not far away.

There, you could vaguely see fish blowing bubbles, their heads barely visible above the surface.

Xia An put a finger to her lips, gesturing for them to be quiet.

Immediately, he quickly rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes, picked up a few pebbles, and walked over.

After getting a little closer, he threw out five pebbles in succession.

Unsurprisingly, three of the pebbles hit the heads of the three fish.

Xia An quickly ran over and took the three unconscious fish.

"Wow, Xia An, you're amazing!"

Jiang Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise when she saw the three fish in Xia An's hand.

In an instant, five pebbles were thrown, and three fish were caught. That's amazing!

Shen Nian'an nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"I practiced my aim with pebbles, but I only discovered their usefulness for fishing after I came to Anping Village."

Xia An explained with a smile,

He felt a strange sense of pleasure as he listened to their admiring gazes.

I remember that Luo Yunshu and Li Yuxue seemed to be looking at each other like that yesterday, didn't they?

At this time,

Jiang Mengmeng asked expectantly, "I want to learn, is that okay?"

Shen Nian'an also looked at Xia An with expectant eyes, blinking her big eyes.

Xia An shook his head and chuckled, "I can teach you the techniques for generating power, but whether you can learn them depends on your talent."

"Yay!"

Jiang Mengmeng jumped up excitedly, "Xia An, you're the best!"

Xia An was stunned for a moment. "Okay, then, why did you suddenly kiss my cheek?"

Why can't it be the mouth?

But before he could speak, Shen Nian'an followed suit.

"Thank you, Brother Xia An."

Xia An could have dodged it, but he didn't; only a fool would dodge.

Of course,

Jiang Mengmeng looked at Shen Nian'an's flushed face, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Why are you blushing like a teapot? I'm just excited, are you doing this on purpose?

This woman is dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Seeing their flushed cheeks, Xia An quickly changed the subject:

"Let's see if we can learn anything else, and then we'll teach you some power generation techniques."

With that, he threw the fish into a nearby puddle and led the two of them downstream.

A short while later.

The three returned each carrying a fish, their faces showing joy, but not much.

I don't know if there weren't many fish bubbling up in the early morning, or if they were just late.

A short while later, they caught three fish, but no more appeared.

Back at the puddle, Xia An washed her feet, put on her shoes, and began teaching the two how to throw stones.

Soon,

Ye Qingxuan and the others walked over and were somewhat surprised to see the two throwing stones.

"What are you doing?"

Xia An sat to the side and said with a smile, "They wanted to learn, so I taught them the techniques for generating power, but it doesn't look too promising."

Ye Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise, "I heard you exclaiming earlier. Now that they're working so hard, it seems they've achieved something today!"

Xia An shook her head, "The harvest wasn't great, only six, and then we didn't see any more."

"That's still very impressive."

Ye Qingxuan exclaimed in admiration, glancing at the fish in the puddle and then at Jiang Mengmeng and the other woman who were waving their hands.

"You guys, Xia An probably practiced for ages to achieve this level of results."

"It might be a bit difficult for you to master this skill. Let's be realistic."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an tossed the pebble aside, shook her head, and said:

"I can't learn it, it's too difficult."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengmeng threw another pebble, but her aim was wildly off.

She shook her head and said, "I understand what you're saying, but I can't seem to do it."

Li Yuxue explained with a smile, "Xia An must have practiced for a long time. It's unlikely you can achieve accuracy in just a short time."

"Secondly, you lack the strength to strike. Even if you have good aim, you probably won't be able to stun the fish, and it will likely be a wasted effort."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengmeng and Shen Nian'an widened their eyes slightly and looked at Xia An in unison.

Xia An shrugged and smiled, saying:

"You all seem so enthusiastic, I don't want to dampen your spirits."

"Among those present, perhaps only Sister Yuxue could barely meet the standard in terms of strength."

Li Yuxue shook her head and laughed, "Although I am a hunter, my wrist strength is not good."

Upon hearing this, the girls all shook their heads.

"So it seems there's a reason why Brother Xia An is so amazing."

Luo Yunshu chuckled.

The others nodded in agreement.

Shen Nianchu glanced at her watch. "There are still more than two hours until we can lift the roof beam. What do we do next?"

Xia An shook his head and laughed, "There's nothing to do, and not much entertainment."

"I think the sand and gravel are soft enough. Sit down or lie down and rest for a while. You must be tired these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan and the others smiled and sat down together.

Jiang Mengmeng said boredly, "This is so boring. I wish we had playing cards."

Xia An shook her head and smiled. "No, I saw playing cards at the supply and marketing cooperative last time, but I didn't think they were necessities, so I didn't buy them."

Ye Qingxuan nodded in agreement:

"Everyone's been sent to the countryside; they need to be careful with their money. Who would buy that kind of thing?"

Luo Yunshu, as if remembering something, asked expectantly, "Brother Xia An, did you bring your flute?"

Xia An shook her head. "I'm busy today, why would I bring that thing?"

He did bring it, but there was nothing to cover it up (a backpack), so it was difficult to take it out.

Jiang Mengmeng's eyes brightened slightly. "From what I'm saying, Xia An can also play the flute?"

Luo Yunshu didn't hide anything, "I heard it twice when I went to the commune last time, it was very good."

Everyone present looked at Xia An in surprise, and then at Luo Yunshu's eyes; perhaps it really did sound very good.

Jiang Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, "Xia An, I feel like you can do everything! Is there anything you can't do?"

Xia An chuckled and said, "Having children? I don't know how to do that."

"whispering sound!"

The women were all speechless, their faces slightly flushed, their eyes flickering, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

The group chatted idly, and time flew by.

It's almost 6:30.

Shen Nianchu gave a reminder, and the group carried the fish back.

Seeing this, the team members who were working were already used to it.

Although they had never seen Xia An fish, they knew these fish were genuine.

Compared to the six fish caught in just a short time the night before last, six fish in just over two hours...

normal!

At this moment, Aunt Guihua had already started preparing a meal with two other people.

Ye Qingxuan and the others carried the fish over and began to process them.

Seeing this, Aunt Guihua quickly stopped her.

"What are you doing? Eight fish is already a lot."

Luo Yunshu shook her head and smiled, "Brother Xia An said this fish was cheap, so we made it while we had the chance. Everyone should eat more."

Aunt Guihua hesitated for a moment, then ultimately said nothing more and helped with the task.

Before long, Luo Zhongqian and Kong Boyue also walked over from a distance.

A few more moments passed.

Having learned from Shen Nianchu that it was already past seven o'clock, Luo Shutong began to organize the group.

Ready to be laid down!
