Back at the film crew's base camp, everyone lined up the six buckets in a row. The production team took ten of them, and the rest were used as a treat for everyone.

Slim grabbed his hair, looking shocked. "Director, this afternoon's reward is just these few fish we caught? That's it?"

There were more than a dozen kinds of green vegetables in the morning, but by the afternoon there wasn't a single vegetable leaf to be seen.

Director Cai leaned back in his chair, relaxed. "Brothers," he said leisurely, "this fishpond was rented out for you by the production team at great expense for two hours. How much you catch in two hours is entirely up to you!"

Let's get those flamboyant wavy lines going!

Simin: "..."

You even spent a huge sum of money to contract fish ponds? Your face must be made of titanium alloy.

Director Cai then changed the subject, adopting a more elder-like tone of instruction, "We are all young people. Don't think that just because you're young and energetic you can eat whatever you want. You need to know how to take care of your health. Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a good dinner, okay?"

The guests were collectively speechless: "..."

The staff rolled their eyes.

Director Cai, you big liar, that old rascal is wicked.

That evening, everyone decided to have dinner together. Chen Xueyun snorted and pulled Liang Xiyu away.

The location was Uncle Li's house. Chu Chu was carrying a bucket and walked unsteadily in front of everyone. Inside the bucket was a small fish whose tail was swaying casually.

Sisi and Qi Huanhuan ran up to catch up with Chuchu. The three little ones chatted excitedly as they arrived at Uncle Li's house.

Uncle Li was sitting on a low stool in front of his house, shelling peanuts. When he saw everyone return, he immediately put down his work and greeted them with a smile, "I heard you went fishing. How was it? Did you have a good catch?"

Uncle Li glanced into the small bucket Chu Chu was carrying, and said, "..."

Chuchu grabbed the bucket with both hands, held it up high for Uncle Li to see, and said, "Grandpa Li, look, Chuchu is so clever!"

She brought a whole fish back from the village entrance.

Why don't you praise her?

Chu Chu looked up at Uncle Li with a big smile on her chubby little face.

Uncle Li exclaimed "Ouch!" and easily lifted Chu Chu up by squeezing her under his armpits. The sudden feeling of being suspended in mid-air was wonderful, and Chu Chu giggled while hugging Uncle Li's neck.

Everyone took the fish they had brought as an extra meal to the kitchen. Chu Chu slipped out of Uncle Li's arms, her two chubby arms carrying a basket of peanuts as she swayed into the kitchen.

This time, Lan Qingyue stood directly in front of the stove, indicating that she would take charge of cooking.

Lin Ranran, eager to try her hand at it, exclaimed, "...Hey, where's the spatula? I haven't even touched it yet. Aren't you going to give me a chance to show off my skills?"

Uncle Li saw the meaning in Lan Qingyue's smile and said to everyone with a smile, "How about this, tonight Teacher Lan and I will be in charge of cooking, and everyone else can help out."

Lin Ranran scratched her ear, looking conflicted, "Helping others is nowhere near as fun as cooking!"

She hasn't cooked for almost a year, and I don't know if her cooking skills have deteriorated.

Guan Zhizhi echoed Li Bo, "Yes, Teacher Lin, let's help out."

Lin Ranran: "Oh, then I'll cook you a big meal next time."

Xiu Kaijie: "..."

Is what you made a "feast"? It's more like a biological weapon.

Fortunately, it wasn't Mommy cooking, so Xiu Kaijie grabbed a small handful of peanuts and ran outside with peace of mind.

At Uncle Li's doorstep, Chu Chu and two other girls were squatting down, their heads huddled together whispering. Xiu Kaijie quietly approached them, peeking out. Before he could even see what was going on, Chu Chu quickly looked up, one surprised and the other caught red-handed, staring at each other wide-eyed.
