After a night of fighting, everyone was exhausted. In order to ensure the normal operation of the cargo ship, the crew members went into the cabins to rest in batches.

Xixi was able to return to the space and kept a close eye on Zhu Yanyan's situation.

After escaping the cargo ship, Zhu Yanyan disappeared in the surrounding waters. Finding her would require searching the entire sea area.

The search was far too extensive, and to avoid worrying her mother, she had no choice but to abandon her plan to continue searching for Zhu Yanyan.

When Xixi opened her eyes, the sky was already slightly bright, and the horizon was tinged with a brilliant orange hue.

She was nestled comfortably in her mother's arms on the deck, watching the sunrise slowly rise.

Meanwhile, the deck began to bustle with activity, as some people adjusted the sails and others fished.

Others are cleaning up the traces left by the dragonfish last night; everyone is proceeding in an orderly manner.

A cool sea breeze, carrying a salty and fishy smell, blew on Xixi's face, and she excitedly made babbling sounds.

Upon hearing the sound, Madam Liu looked at Xixi in her arms, a doting expression on her face, and asked softly.

"My little darling, are you hungry? Mommy will make you some rice porridge."

When Xixi heard that it was time to eat, she waved her little hand happily.

She is four months pregnant and can eat some rice cereal or similar foods.

Looking at her daughter's happy little face, Liu carried her into the kitchen inside the cabin.

In the kitchen, Grandma Zhu was busily preparing lunch with Madam Sun, Madam Tao, and their two children.

Watching my grandmother busily working, I felt especially happy.

Just then, Old Lady Zhu saw Liu enter the kitchen, take out the steamed rice porridge from the iron pot, and look at Xixi with a smile.

"Little Xixi, time to eat."

With a smile, Liu took Xixi out of the swaddling cloth, held her horizontally in her arms, and held a ceramic bowl in her hand.

As Mrs. Sun was adding firewood to the stove, she looked up at Old Mrs. Zhu, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Xixi noticed her aunt's troubled expression and pointed at her with her chubby little hand.

While feeding her daughter, Liu curiously followed her daughter's finger and noticed Sun, who looked troubled.

She hurriedly and curiously asked Sun, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask my mother if she could make some mooncakes."

Tao wanted to remind her mother-in-law that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, but she overheard Sun say it first.

She quickly joined in, nodding with a smile, "Yes, Mom, we've been away for months and haven't had a proper holiday yet."

"How about we make some mooncakes and have a simple festival?"

After being reminded by Tao and Sun, Liu and Old Lady Zhu realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival was just two days away.

Considering that everyone has narrowly escaped death several times on the journey, and that we've finally managed to have a few days of peace, we really need to treat everyone well.

"Okay, then let's have a lively festival."

With Old Lady Zhu's permission, Madam Sun and Madam Tao became instantly excited and looked at each other happily.

Seeing her family happy, Xixi waved her little hands excitedly, rolled her dark eyes, and decided to add more food for everyone.

She grinned excitedly, waved her little hand, and threw all the chicken, duck, fish, and meat onto the deck.

Anqing was cleaning the deck at that moment, still unable to believe that he had relied on Old Lady Zhu's strength last night.

Everyone escaped death and survived safely from the clutches of the ferocious dragon fish.

Zhu Wen saw that An Qing was getting stuck on something again, and chuckled as he nudged him.

"Thinking nonsense again?"

"This is all so incredible, it's like a dream."

Anqing was still reeling from last night's battle and was in a daze.

Just as he was in a daze, suddenly several dragonfish flew from the sea onto the deck.

Anqing and Zhu Wen were both startled by the sudden appearance of the dragon fish and shouted at the people around them.

"The dragonfish is coming! Everyone on high alert!"

The group of people, who were working leisurely, all picked up their knives and forks and aimed them at the dragon fish after hearing Zhu Wen and An Qing's words.

However, the dragon fish looked at everyone expressionlessly and made no move to attack.

Instead, they threw several bags of fish and pearls onto the deck, and after throwing them down, the dragonfish turned and went back to the surface.

When Wang Haocheng led Chen Xiang, Zhu Chenfeng, and Zhu Haotian out of the cabin, the dragon fish had already returned to the sea.

"What happened? Why did the dragon fish go back?" Zhu Chenfeng looked at the fish, shrimp and crabs on the deck, puzzled, and hurriedly went to the ship to look for the dragon fish.

Wang Haocheng then approached the food and pearls, picked up one of the pearls to examine it, and exclaimed, "Young Master Zhu, Lord Chen, look! This is a genuine luminous pearl!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haotian and Chen Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to check, picking up the pearls from the ground and examining them from all angles.

After confirming that it was a luminous pearl, the group was all so surprised that they looked at each other in astonishment.

Even the crew members around them shouted excitedly when they saw the pearls on the deck.

Wang Haocheng pondered for a moment, put the pearl back into the fishing net, and looked at Zhu Chenfeng with a serious expression.

"Young Master Zhu, please go and invite Old Madam Zhu out."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chenfeng hurriedly turned around and ran towards the cabin.

A moment later, under Zhu Chenfeng's guidance, Old Lady Zhu and the others arrived in front of Wang Haocheng.

She looked at the fish, shrimp, and pearls on the deck with a puzzled expression. "Manager Wang, what is it?"

"Grandma Zhu, these pearls were given to us by the dragon fish. What do you think we should do with them?"

Upon hearing Wang Haocheng's words, the surrounding crew members immediately showed displeasure and began to murmur among themselves.

"Why ask her? Last night was a hard-fought battle for the brothers."

"Exactly, she just got lucky and caught the little dragonfish. What the boss did is really disheartening."

"What else can this Zhu family do besides drag us down?"

As the discussion grew louder, Wang Haocheng looked at the crowd with a stern face and shouted a reprimand.

"Lucky? If it weren't for Granny Zhu leading people to risk their lives to rescue the little dragon fish, would you have survived?"

"We've survived until now, and you're saying the Zhu family is a burden to us? If it weren't for the Zhu family, would you have survived until now?"

"Who will cook for you on this journey? Do you really think there's food on the ship?"

Despite Wang Haocheng's bluntness, the crowd still wore expressions of dissatisfaction.

Just then, the sounds of chickens crowing, ducks quacking, and sheep bleating suddenly rang out all around.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw four or five chickens, four or five ducks, and a sheep carrying two baskets on its back.

Seemingly startled, it ran out of the cabin and wandered around the deck.

Faced with the sudden appearance of chickens, ducks, and sheep, everyone froze on the spot, staring blankly at the chaotic scene.

Xixi was very satisfied with the scene before her and giggled.

Haha, do you all like Xixi's gift?

This is just a portion; there's so much more food in the kitchen.

Upon hearing her granddaughter's words, Grandma Zhu chuckled, rubbing her forehead, and helplessly directed her son and daughter-in-law.

"Second brother, third brother, second brother's wife, Da Bao, Xiao Bao, hurry up and catch the chickens and ducks."

After giving her instructions, she smiled and approached Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang to ask them questions.

"Manager Wang, Lord Chen, the Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow. I am very grateful for everyone's help along the way, and I would like to treat you all to some good wine and tea."

Wang Haocheng never expected that his good-for-nothing subordinates would say so many nasty things, yet Old Lady Zhu didn't seem to care at all.

He nodded sheepishly, "Madam, you decide, we can all agree."

"Alright then, this old lady will boldly do it." Old Mrs. Zhu smiled, turned around, rolled up her sleeves, and joined in catching chickens and ducks.

Wang Haocheng watched the Zhu family members' busy figures, glared at the few who had objected earlier, and shouted at them.

"You've seen everything, any further objections?"
