Chapter 207 Agree to Participate in the Competition
Afterwards, Chen Guanghui pretended to wipe away tears and wailed:
“Master, you don’t know that tomorrow’s competition requires two people in a group, and those who often fish there dislike me.
Not only did no one team up with me, but they also laughed at me. Could you bear to watch me die without helping me?
Wuwuwu..."
After hearing this, Song An Ning only wanted to say one thing: they dislike it, so does that mean I don’t dislike it too?
Of course, she couldn't say that.
Fishing has become Chen Guanghui's obsession. Over the years, he has not liked studying and is unwilling to participate in the family business, but he likes fishing. After all, he is his master, so he agreed to come down and help.
Seeing Song Anning thinking, Chen Guanghui felt that this might be possible, and quickly added:
“There are many people participating in this fishing trip. The first place team will receive two thousand taels of silver, the second place team will receive one thousand taels, and the third place team will receive five hundred taels.
If we win, I won't take any of the money, I'll give it all to Master."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Song An Ning eagerly like a puppy, and kept repeating in his heart: Promise quickly, promise quickly...
"Hahaha, does your master seem to be short of money? Half for each of us, or I won't do it."
"Huh? So Master agrees? Don't go back on your word!"
"Hahaha... Did you hear that? My master has agreed to participate in the competition. This time, I'm going to avenge my previous humiliation and smack those people in the face with the fish my master caught!"
"..."
Song An Ning looked up at the sky speechlessly. Such a good young man, but he was so stupid. How could she meet such a funny guy?
The two servants following Chen Guanghui also felt a little embarrassed and looked around at a loss. The young masters of other families were either very talented in writing or had great means, but his young master... was also pretty good, at least he didn't treat his servants harshly.
This wasn't the end. Chen Guanghui jumped off the reef and ran around the nearby beach twice. Seeing the children having fun, he waved his hand and said:
"Xiao Chuan and Xiao Yu, you don't have to go to the teahouse for the next two days. I'll take you to see the world."
In fact, this was not a momentary impulse of Chen Guanghui. He was thinking that he and his master would have no time to look after the children because of the competition tomorrow. The four of them played so well together, so he might as well take them all with him and find a few more servants to look after them so that the children would not make trouble.
"Second Master, is this okay? Xiaoyu and I are only taking two hours off. If we're out for too long, Uncle He will be busy."
"Why are you thinking so much, kid? You're only out for two days. It won't delay anything. I'll go back and talk to Lao He in person.
Go ahead and have fun without any worries. I will pay you for the next two days. I am very happy today!"
"Thank you, Master!"
After all, he was just a child. When Yu Xiaochuan and his sister heard that they didn't have to work for the next two days and would get money, their eyes narrowed into slits.
They heard a little bit of the conversation between Chen Guanghui and Song An Ning just now, and they also knew that the Second Master gave them the holiday because of Sister An Ning, so they jumped and ran to Song An Ning and said thank you with a smile.
"This is all because you behave well on a daily basis, and the Second Master likes you.
Come and drink some water. It's not uncommon to drink it. We can go back after playing for another half hour."
The children drank some water, ate something, and played like crazy with the sand shovels.
Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue went from disliking the brother and sister at the beginning to admiring them now.
They weren't much different in age, so how could Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu know so much? Not only that, they could even earn a living. Compared to them, they looked like two little fools.
While watching the children playing, Chen Guanghui asked again, "Master, what are we going to do this afternoon?
This is the first time Ayuan and Ayue have come to Linhai Town, so I will take them to eat something good."
Song An Ning hurriedly stopped him.
"They picked up a lot of things, so we can just take them to the restaurant and cook them into dishes. We can also order a couple of local specialties. We can't raise children too delicately."
"I plan to rent a small boat this afternoon and take them around the beach and mangroves. It's a rare opportunity for these two children to come to Linhai Town, so it would be good for them to see more."
"Why rent a boat? We have a big boat at home, we can use it however we want."
Chen Guanghui didn't think much about it. His family had boats of all sizes. Since his master wanted to go out to sea, he would just make the preparations.
But Song An Ning waved her hand at him and said, "No need. Just find a fishing boat in the fishing village. It will save you trouble."
The Chen family's boats are used to transport goods and are not under Chen Guanghui's control. She doesn't want to cause any unpleasantness between Chen Guanghui and his family because of her trip.
"Oh, then I'll listen to Master..."
He thought that after Xiao Yao's previous incident, the master didn't want to have too much contact with his family, so he went to the fishing village to rent a boat. It wasn't a big deal, so he just followed the master's instructions...
The children played for a while, and then Song An Ning took them back. The food in the inn they were staying in was delicious, so they didn't go out to look for a restaurant. After handing the seafood to the waiter, they waited for dinner.
"Sister, are these dishes made from the seafood we picked up? They're so delicious.
Can we take some back and ask Aunt Yuanying to make more for Grandpa to try?"
"Of course, Ayuan is such a filial child. He's still thinking about his grandfather when he's out there.
If he knew, he would be very happy. "
Song Anning never hesitates to praise the children. If they do something wrong, they will be punished, and if they do well, they will be rewarded.
Only after having younger brothers and sisters did she realize that the hardest part of raising children is not making sure they are well fed and clothed, but educating them. She needs to always pay attention to their psychology, set an example, and guide them slowly.
"Hey, Ah Yue and I discussed it and decided to use the pocket money my sister gave me to buy some things for Grandpa and Grandma..."
Hearing them say this, Song Anning was very surprised. Then she thought that they must have heard Yu Xiaochuan and his sister say in the morning that they wanted to make money for her to spend, and they were not convinced, so they thought of this.
These days, Song Anning would give copper coins to them when they washed duck eggs at home. As for Asheng and Xiao Yuanyuan, they worked for the same amount of time and were given the same amount of copper coins.
This time when they went out, the two kids stuffed their little purses full. They suddenly felt really comfortable spending the money they earned themselves.
That feeling can't be bought with any amount of money. It's a sense of security and freedom. I don't need to ask my sister for money and can buy whatever I want.
"Okay, then I'll take you for a walk later.
But I brought you out here, so why don’t you buy me some? I’m so sad…”
After hearing what her sister said, Song Anyue quickly scooped a large spoonful of oysters into her sister's mouth and said anxiously:
“Ayue wants to buy the most things for her sister!
Whatever Sister wants, Ah Yue will buy it for her! "
"Hahaha, that's great. I'll be waiting for you."
After Song Anyue finished speaking, she felt that she was bragging. It was only a few dozen coins. What if it was not enough? So she whispered in Song Anning's ear:
"Sister, Ah Yue only has a few dozen copper coins. Don't spend more than you can afford."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When she said this, everyone burst into laughter. This little girl is so cute.
Chen Guanghui felt sad when he saw Song Anning's interaction with her younger brother and sister. He suddenly thought that having more children would not be a bad thing. However, it seemed that he could not have more children now!
Thinking about this, Chen Guanghui's good mood disappeared. He put down his chopsticks and sighed sadly.
While picking up some food for the children, Song Anning glanced at him and asked helplessly:
"What's the matter?"
