Chapter 162 Seafood Dinner
Moreover, they don’t know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. Qin Muxue and Shi Yan are rushing back now. If they are enemies, they have to notify everyone to be prepared.
Fortunately, the plane flew directly over their heads and had no intention of stopping on the island. Moreover, the location here is very hidden, and the people on the plane should not have discovered them yet.
Qin Muxue breathed a sigh of relief. Their goal had been achieved and it was time to go back.
This piece of land can produce at least two or three crops of rice every year, which is enough to provide food for dozens of people.
On the way back, Congjie looked around. This place was not far from the beach. Mu Wanwan had never been to the beach since coming here, so she wanted to go there for some fun.
"Sister Qin, since our mission has been completed, can we go for a walk on the beach? It's so boring to stay in the village every day."
Qin Muxue couldn't persuade her, so she agreed to her request. She and Shi Yan seldom went out to play, so this time they just went out for some fun. Besides, Shi Yan had been a nanny for a while, so it was time for him to relax. The temperature was just right now, and the Hell Star was also covered by dark clouds today, so it was a suitable day.
Mu Wanwan was extremely excited when she heard Qin Muxue agreed.
They came to the beach and found that the beach was very natural because it had never been developed. The sea water was also very clear, a sky blue color.
The white and crystal water splashed at the beach, gently caressing the soft sand. Mu Wanwan couldn't help but take off her shoes and step on the beach.
"This sand is really soft and feels so comfortable to walk on."
Qin Muxue and Shi Yan have lived in a coastal city since childhood and are no strangers to such scenes. They sat on the rocks nearby and looked at the horizon not far away.
It has been a long time since we sat together quietly and looked at the scenery not far away.
Congjie was looking for small crabs, scallops and small turtles in the sand, thinking that if he brought these things back to show Congning, she would be very happy.
Qin Muxue was wondering if she could find some seafood to take back and eat. Although there was some in her space, they were all frozen, not fresh.
After finding the special fishing tools, Qin Muxue handed the fishing rod to Shi Yan, "Shi Yan, how is your fishing skill? Are you interested in trying fishing for seafood?" Suddenly she remembered that Shi Yan was very good at fishing in the past, "I remember now, you should be pretty good. I'll leave it to you." Shi Yan took the fishing rod.
The rock they were standing on was perfect for fishing, and after spilling the fish into the sea, he threw the hook in.
Qin Muxue found some fishing nets and shouted to Congjie who was picking up crabs nearby: "Congjie, come here, I have something for you to do."
Cong Jie walked over reluctantly, "What's the matter?"
"Can you cast a net so we can catch some seafood? Doesn't your sister like seafood?"
As soon as Congjie heard that Congning liked to eat it, he immediately became active and cast the fishing net into the sea, looking quite professional.
Mu Wanwan was watching with interest from the side. She could understand the language of animals. Suddenly, she heard a figure mumbling to her for help.
Only then did they realize that it was the little turtles and crabs in Jay's bucket, and the cries for help came from the turtles' mouths.
Mu Wanwan couldn't bear it, so she released a few little turtles while Congjie wasn't paying attention.
Congjie was concentrating on fishing with the fishing net. They were now at the seaside, so Congjie could only catch some starfish, scallops and the like, but no fish or lobsters.
Qin Muxue observed which water area was more suitable for catching seafood, and actually found a place for her.
"Congjie, come here and fish it out, there must be lobsters in there!"
Cong Jie walked over doubtfully, "Big sister, that place is deep and far away, how can I get through?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a small boat appeared in front of him, "You row over there."
Cong Jie got on the boat with some doubt. Mu Wanwan wanted to see how he fished. "Let me go with you! I can help you confirm the location."
The two of them sat on the small boat, one in front and one behind. The boat that Qin Muxue gave them was actually rowed with oars. Congjie was not good at rowing, so he circled the center of the boat several times.
Cong Jie was going crazy. It was obvious that Qin Muxue was playing a trick on him!
Mu Wanwan was having a blast, "It's really fun, hahaha, Congjie, you rowed in the wrong direction, you should go that way! Oh, are you an idiot?"
Cong Jie shouted reluctantly: "You are the fool."
The two of them started arguing on the boat, "It's you, idiot, we're almost back to shore."
"If you can do it, come by yourself!" Cong Jie threw away the paddle and ignored Mu Wanwan.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Mu Wanwan tried to row the boat. After a while, she mastered the rules and rowed to the destination.
Congjie was so embarrassed when he saw her, so he scattered some bait and threw the net down without saying a word, hoping to catch some lobsters.
Shi Yan had already caught several fish, including sea bass and eels, which were enough for them to have a meal in the evening.
Qin Muxue sat next to him, looking at the boat that Congjie and Mu Wanwan had just taken, and had been trying to hold back her laughter for a long time, "Hahaha, these two are so funny."
A smile appeared on Shi Yan's lips. Being with Qin Muxue like this redeemed his originally cruel heart. He could even feel a sense of peace and tranquility.
After Congjie cast the net, he felt it was much heavier. He excitedly lifted it up, but found that he only caught a bunch of water plants. "Qin Muxue! Are you lying to me again?"
"Oh, Sister Qin didn't lie to you. Look over there, there are really lobsters. It seems our net is broken." Mu Wanwan looked at Congjie helplessly.
Congjie awkwardly changed the net and started fishing again. This time he caught several lobsters and even a few conger eels.
This was the first time Mu Wanwan saw a real sea eel. She was so scared that her soul almost flew away. "What is this? Why does it look like a snake? I'm scared to death! Wuuwuwu."
She kept taking it in Congjie's direction until her whole body was hanging on him.
Both of them were at the bow, and the hull had begun to become a little unbalanced. In addition, Mu Wanwan kept shouting, and as a result, Cong Jie failed to control himself, and the two fell into the sea together.
Mu Wanwan cried out for help, "Help, help!"
Cong Jie pulled her to his side and said, "It's not very deep here, what are you afraid of?"
“I can’t swim.”
"It's because you were jumping around on the boat just now, otherwise how could we have fallen off?"
Although Congjie was yelling, he still carried Mu Wanwan onto the boat first. When he was about to get on the boat, he suddenly felt something bite his butt, and severe pain spread immediately.
He endured the severe pain and climbed onto the boat.
Shi Yan looked at the two people not far away and said, "Aren't you going to help them?"
"No, they will solve it themselves, don't worry, this is also a way to train them."
"But I feel like there's something wrong with Congjie's expression." Shi Yan reminded.
Qin Muxue took a look and found that something did seem to be wrong. Mu Wanwan had already rowed towards the shore.
When they reached the shore, Congjie limped off the boat. Mu Wanwan then discovered that he had an injury on the back of his buttocks and was bleeding a lot.
"Congjie, your butt... your butt is injured." Mu Wanwan shouted loudly.
"I get it. Don't scream out loud. It's so embarrassing!" Cong Jie wanted to find a piece of sand to bury himself in.
"You were injured just now because you were saving me... Thank you." Mu Wanwan lowered her head and thanked him in a low voice.
Cong Jie endured the severe pain, his face began to turn pale, "Let's talk about this later, I just want to go back and treat my wound."
Qin Muxue came over at an inopportune moment and asked, "How was your harvest?"
Looking at the boat full of seafood, Qin Muxue said with a smile: "Congjie, it seems that you have done a good job. I will leave this kind of thing to you in the future."
Then he sent another message. Congjie's face looked very strange. "Wanwan, what's wrong with him?"
"He, he's injured."
Qin Muxue scanned him from head to toe and asked, "Why can't I see where he's injured?"
"Yes..." Before Mu Wanwan could say anything, Cong Jie covered her mouth.
"Shut up and don't say anything. Let's go back first."
The car was not far away. Cong Jie limped towards the car. In fact, he was in so much pain that he could hardly bear it, but he still had to pretend nothing had happened, just to prevent Qin Muxue from laughing at him.
Seeing his stubbornness, Mu Wanwan didn't say much, "Let's pack up the seafood and take it back."
After packing the seafood, Shi Yan drove back to Taoyuan Village.
Cong Jie and Mu Wan Wan were sitting in the back row. Seeing that he was in great pain, Mu Wan Wan said, "Do you want me to take a look at your wound? After all, I'm a nurse and I can help you deal with it."
"Let's talk about it when we get back." How could he take off his pants in the car? Wouldn't he be laughed at by the two people in front of him?
As soon as they returned to Taoyuan Village, they returned with a lot of seafood. Qin Muxue said happily: "Everyone is in for a treat tonight. We are eating fresh seafood today!"
After the researchers checked some of the seafood and found nothing wrong with it, they handed the fish, lobsters and scallops over to the chef for processing.
Mu Wanwan brought Cong Jie to the infirmary and was about to take off his pants.
Cong Jie held his pants tightly, "What do you want to do?"
"How can I check your wound if you don't take off your pants? Hurry up, don't dawdle. We don't know what bit you. If that thing is poisonous, you'll probably die here." Mu Wanwan was completely different from her gentle appearance just now. In fact, she was also worried about his wound.
But when Cong Jie saw that there were only a man and a woman in the room, he felt too embarrassed to do so.
"Otherwise I'll go get Doctor Mu to take a look at you!"
Cong Jie thought that Mu Sheng was also a woman, and it was more unbearable for him to have her see his wounds than Mu Wanwan, "Is there no man who can help me deal with it?"
"Brother-in-law Shi, and Captain Qu, you choose one!"
"I..." If possible, he would rather not choose any of them.
"I'm a nurse, don't worry. I often give injections to people. There is no difference between men and women. Don't worry, it's just a butt. In my eyes, they are all the same!"
"Could you please stop talking nonsense like that?" Cong Jie's face flushed red. "If you want to deal with it, just deal with it now!" It only takes closing your eyes and taking off your pants. It will be bearable in a while. He comforted himself in this way.
"It's best that you think so." Mu Wanwan took off Congjie's pants and looked at the wound on his right buttock, which looked like he was bitten by a jellyfish.
Mu Wanwan took out some alcohol and asked, "Did you see what bit you?"
"No, I just felt something soft."
"It must have been bitten by a jellyfish. It looks like it has already released poison. But don't worry. I'll wash it for you with soapy water first."
Mu Wanwan neatly applied cold compresses of sodium bicarbonate solution and potassium permanganate solution to his wound to neutralize the toxin. Zong Jie felt a stinging pain but gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Fortunately, it looks like the jellyfish bite isn't too serious. If it were too serious, it wouldn't be easy to handle here."
"How long will it take to get better?" He no longer had any sense of shame.
"After alleviating the symptoms and disinfecting and bandaging, it will be healed in about a week. Don't worry, it won't kill you." Mu Wanwan sneered. It seems that Congjie is quite cherishing his life.
In fact, Congjie didn't cherish his life. He was afraid that once he died, there would be no one to take care of his sister.
After finishing the job, Mu Wanwan helped him stand up and helped Cong Jie put on his pants. "Thank you." He thanked her awkwardly.
"No need to thank me, we are even now. You were the one who saved me first."
Mu Wanwan is a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. It was Congjie who saved him from the sea.
Cong Jie scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart."
"Now we have each helped each other once, so we are even." Mu Wanwan smiled, but Cong Jie suddenly felt his heart pounding.
He ran out of the infirmary in a panic, leaving Mu Wanwan with a puzzled look on her face. They were chatting just fine just now, how come this guy became like this in the blink of an eye?
Mu Wanwan shook her head and put away the medicine bottle.
Congjie's heart was still beating violently, he didn't know what it meant, it was a feeling he had never experienced before.
…
On the first day Manman started taking care of the children, everything seemed not as simple as she had imagined. It was indeed a bit cumbersome to take care of two children by herself, so she and Qu Yanbai could only take care of one each.
Because she was taken care of so well during the confinement period, she even thought that taking care of a child was an easy task. However, when it came time to actually take care of the child, she realized that she was too naive.
Her initial reaction was the same as Qu Yanbai's. She started to panic as soon as the child started crying.
Qu Yanbai also guided her patiently, just like Shi Yan did in the past, so that she could gradually adapt to the role of mother.
"Now I understand why you look so haggard every time I see you. It turns out that raising a child is really a very difficult thing." She said somewhat disappointedly.
"This is your first day officially taking care of a child, so it's inevitable that you'll find it difficult, but I see that you're doing very well, much better than I was at the beginning. We still have a lot of time in the future, so don't worry, I'll teach you slowly."
Qu Yanbai's encouragement helped her regain her confidence.
"Yes, the child is so cute. Look at this tender little face, black eyes, and the smell of milk on his body." Manman was admiring the baby's cuteness, but the next second, Guoguo started crying again. When she smelled the smell, she found that he had pooped again. There was nothing she could do but to start changing the child's diaper.
During this period, every time the child cried, Pearl would jump to the child's side. A magical thing happened. As long as Pearl lay down beside the child, they would really stop crying and babbled as if they were communicating with Pearl.
Manman couldn't help but sigh: "Our level of raising children is not even as professional as Zhenzhu's."
"Hahaha, we are all first-time parents, so it's inevitable that we will be flustered."
Although taking care of children is tiring, Manman does not feel sad because there are many people around her who can help her and accompany her.
…
The truckload of seafood that Qin Muxue and her friends brought back was processed by the chef into a variety of delicious seafood meals, including boiled lobster, steamed scallops with garlic, and steamed sea fish. Seeing that there were still a lot of ingredients left, the chef decided to have a barbecue dinner in the evening. He skewered some of the ingredients, including beef, lamb, chicken, pork belly, and even a lot of vegetable skewers.
"We'll have a seafood barbecue dinner tonight. Everyone is in for a treat!"
Congjie stood aside, silently looking at the table full of delicious food, but he had no appetite. He felt as if he was sick, and his heart started beating since the evening.
Cong Ning was very happy to have a seafood feast, especially when he heard that most of the seafood here was caught by his younger brother just for him. "Ajie, you are really the best brother in the world."
"Yeah." Cong Jie seemed a little absent-minded, and even responded to his sister's question with just a faint "hmm".
"I heard you were injured. Where was it?"
Cong Jie came to his senses and confirmed what Qin Muxue had told her sister, "No, it's just a minor injury. Wanwan has bandaged it for me."
Cong Ning warned: "You, don't do these dangerous things in the future. I know you are doing this for me, but you should also do it for yourself. The sea is still very dangerous."
"I understand sister, I will be careful."
"Wanwan is a good girl." Cong Ning suddenly mentioned this, making Congjie blush instantly.
"What are you talking about her? I'm not..."
"Look at her, she's helping to serve the dishes again. I was in a bad mood on the boat before, and Wanwan was always trying to comfort me. I see that several guys here are interested in her. I wonder which one she will choose in the future?"
Cong Ning was talking to himself, not noticing that his brother's face had darkened.
Cong Jie just felt a little depressed. He had nothing but a somewhat useless supernatural power, which seemed to be of no use here. Compared with those men who liked Mu Wanwan, he seemed to be useless.
Then he wondered why he had to compare himself with those people. Could it be that he had really fallen in love with Mu Wanwan without realizing it?
The two of them had been together for quite some time, but they would usually start bickering as soon as they met. Mu Wanwan was even a little afraid of him at first because of what had happened on the boat before.
Congjie started drinking beer in depression. No matter which one Mu Wanwan chose, he would respect and bless her.
A group of people were grilling skewers and eating seafood and having a great time. Qin Muxue even took a big lobster and started to chew it. The seafood meat was delicious, and she ate two in one go.
This was also Manman’s first time eating barbecue after giving birth. She was a little hesitant at first, but later she joined in and started eating.
"Seafood is high in protein. You can eat more steamed ones and just eat a few skewers of grilled ones."
While reminding her, Qu Yanbai poured Manman another glass of juice.
"I know, I know, you are such a nag!"
Two children sitting in the stroller stared at the twinkling light bulbs hanging on the wall. This was their first time to attend such a party and everything in the outside world was new to them.
Seeing that Congjie had been drinking and not eating skewers, Mu Wanwan took some beef skewers and came to his side, "Congjie, your wound hasn't healed yet, drink less. Do you still want to be unable to sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain?"
Cong Jie almost dropped his glass, "Oh, oh, I just want to drink."
"If you want to drink, just satisfy your craving. Don't drink so much." Mu Wanwan snatched the beer glass from his hand, "I'll help you with the rest!"
Cong Jie stared at her in a daze as she gulped down the remaining half glass of beer, but that was the one he had just drunk, and Mu Wanwan didn't mind at all.
"What's wrong? You're looking at me stupidly. You hurt your butt, not your brain. You look like an idiot. You caught the seafood yourself, so eat as much as you can!"
Mu Wanwan seemed to create ripples in his heart. He stared at her profile intently, and the seeds of love were planted.
Ning felt it was strange at first, but gradually he realized that Ajie was in love with Wanwan. Wanwan was very lively, while his brother was a bit gloomy, and there was also herself, a burden.
Thinking of this, Cong Ning sighed silently, it would be enough if her leg could get better.
Taking the opportunity, she asked Manman whether she could stand up. Manman told her: "Keep taking the medicine I prescribed for you, and you need to stick to rehabilitation and overcome psychological factors. Only then can you stand up. There will be no problem with your nerves."
With her assurance, Cong Ning began to have some confidence.
If she could stand up, she would not be a burden to her brother.
