Xie Yan was thrilled at the thought of showing off in front of Gu Bin later!
He stood tall and proudly declared, "Watch me show you! Look closely!"
I'll only teach you once!
After saying that, he sat down in his seat, picked out a relatively large apricot pit, which was easier to crack open, and tapped it with a stone. With a "thud," a perfect apricot kernel appeared before his eyes.
Xie Yan picked it up, held it in her palm, and looked at Gu Bin triumphantly, "How about it? Did you learn it?"
"Not only do we have to crack it open, but we also have to make sure the almonds inside are intact!"
Gu Bin: "That's it? Do we even need to learn it?"
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow, "So confident, come on, give it a try!"
"Let me see if you have the ability!"
Gu Bin smiled confidently, sat down on the other side, picked up an apricot pit, examined it in his hand, and then, imitating Xie Yan, pinched the bulging sides of the apricot pit with one hand and tapped it with the other.
With a snap, the apricot pit cracked open, shattering into pieces, and the apricot kernel inside was also broken into several pieces.
Gu Bin was dumbfounded!
He gave an awkward laugh, trying to save face, and said, "I didn't control my strength well just now!"
Xie Yan's merciless mocking laughter reached my ears.
Gu Bin was not convinced and picked up another one. This time he had more experience. He used less force the first time to test the hardness. The second time he hit it, the apricot pit cracked open, revealing a round almond inside.
Gu Bin smiled, picked it up, and handed it to Xie Yan, "So? Just tell me what you think?"
"Is it completely intact?"
Xie Yan: "..."
He was extremely indignant. Why could this kid succeed on his second try?
He said, not really meaning it, "It's just so-so. I succeeded on my first try. You're still a bit behind me!"
He said that with absolute confidence.
Anyway, only Yu Yuehui knew when he smashed it, but his wife wouldn't expose him!
Gu Bin snorted coldly, "Childish!"
Xie Yan: "Yes, you're not childish! You're mature, so why are you still looking at almonds?"
Gu Bin: "I think it's beautiful! Can't I look at it more often?"
Xie Yan: "Okay! You see!"
"Want to have a contest with me? From now until lunchtime, let's see who can smash the most almonds without breaking them?"
Gu Bin: "Let's compete! Although I'm a newbie, I'm sure I'm better than you!"
Xie Yan gritted his teeth! "Fine! Since you put it that way, then I won't hold back any face for you!"
Gu Bin: "No need to hold back, unleash your full potential!"
The two of them took the apricot pits, got into position, and at the signal to start, they started working at the same time, with a constant clattering sound echoing in the courtyard.
They rose and fell, vying with each other!
Yu Yuehui couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xie Yan's childish appearance through the window!
Seriously, I don't know what's wrong with this guy, he becomes incredibly childish whenever he's around Gu Bin!
They'll compare everything!
After they separated, they both seemed mature and composed, but once they got together, they acted like childish idiots!
Shaking her head, Yu Yuehui stopped looking at the two people in the courtyard and started cooking!
Xie Yan is a seasoned employee with several days of experience, so she's much faster than Gu Bin, a complete newbie who just started working on the job!
Before long, the straw basket in front of him was filled with almonds.
Gu Bin only had a few in his basket!
The gap between the two gradually widened.
Xie Yan took a moment from his busy schedule to glance at the screen and said smugly, "It seems I'm going to win this match!"
Gu Bin sneered, "What's the rush? It's only just begun!"
Gu Bin wasn't worried about the gap in front of him at all, because he was gradually starting to grasp the key points and his speed was gradually increasing.
I believe that surpassing Xie Yan will be a piece of cake in no time.
When Yue called them to eat, the almonds in their baskets were no longer noticeably different to the naked eye!
The two who had stopped looking at each other simultaneously, and Xie Yan said first, "Let's continue after we finish eating!"
Gu Bin readily agreed; he was in a particularly good mood right now, and this was truly his best moment.
After dinner, you can definitely enjoy a thank-you banquet!
He's a trained soldier, after all; his hand speed would put Xie Yan to shame.
Absolutely impossible!
After dinner, Xie Yan didn't want to fight over washing the dishes anymore, and she and Gu Bin started competing again.
When it got completely dark, the two had no choice but to stop the competition. Xie Yan lit a kerosene lamp, found a scale, and began to weigh the items.
Unfortunately, the final result was a tie, with both players weighing two pounds!
Xie Yan and Gu Bin were both dissatisfied with this result!
Xie Yan believed he was an experienced player and was certain to beat Gu Bin.
Gu Bin also felt confident that he could win against Xie Yan.
Both of them were dissatisfied with the result.
They wanted to continue, but unfortunately it was already dark and late, so they agreed to fight again tomorrow.
Xie Yan thought about how Gu Bin would have to carry leaves tomorrow, and how tired he would be in the afternoon.
At that time, it will be a piece of cake for him to beat Gu Bin.
He felt that the reason he only managed to tie with Gu Bin today was because he was tired from carrying leaves. He believed that if he rested for a day tomorrow, he would definitely be able to beat Gu Bin.
Watching Gu Bin's retreating figure, Xie Yan seemed to already see himself victorious tomorrow, and Gu Bin fleeing in panic!
Yu Yue walked back and said with a smile, "So reluctant to part? Gu Bin has already left, and you're still staring at his back?"
Xie Yan shook his head. "No, this isn't just an ordinary back view; it's what he'll look like in a disheveled state after my victory tomorrow!"
Yu Yue replied: "..."
I don't understand, and I don't respect!
She slapped Xie Yan on the back, "Go take a shower! It's so late, what are you thinking about!"
Xie Yan then realized that he hadn't taken a shower yet!
He was drenched in sweat today. He had originally planned to relax for a while, recover his energy, and then take a shower!
Gu Bin's interruption made them completely forget about taking a shower!
It's all Gu Bin's fault!
After taking a shower, Yu Yue pulled Xie Yan back to start studying.
Xie Yan sighed in approval.
Having a wife who loves to study is a pain that no one can understand!
It's so hard for him!
I was distracted while taking a shower, but a shout of "Study!" completely extinguished my distraction!
Why!
Xie Yan, with a bitter face, was giving his wife a lesson!
The next day, Gu Bin, dragging his tired body, once again threw himself into the competition against Xie Yan.
Finally, the match ended with Xie Yan winning half a tael more.
