Although their skills in making clay stoves were not very good, they were still usable.
Cooking is even easier, with Xia Jin around, so the food won't be too bad. They even dug several mud pits and prepared to roast over a fire.
Let's eat while playing. Isn't the fun of this thing the process of making it? Pan Qiancheng and the others were still pulling your dad like children, playing with each other.
The meat they grilled was black, but it still tasted okay. They didn't waste any of it and ate it all.
A few people sat in such a beautiful scenery, eating barbecue and some other dishes, talking about the future, talking about dreams, and feeling the breeze. It was so comfortable.
After eating, Xia Jin lay contentedly on the mat, enjoying the sunshine of nature. He closed his eyes and thought that this might be the best moment in their lives.
In the end, after going to college, working, and starting a family, they no longer have so much time. Even if they did, even if their moods when they came here again were different, they would no longer have the same moods.
When we were young, we all looked forward to growing up, but only those who have grown up know that growing up is not good at all, and there are countless pressures waiting for us.
When I made mistakes as a child, there were always adults to clean up after me. They would say that I was still a child and I wouldn’t be scolded.
But it’s no longer the same when they grow up. If they do something wrong, no one will pay for it. They can only clean up the mess by themselves, and if they don’t do well, they will be criticized by their leaders.
The times now are really good. Although studying is tiring and the pressure of the college entrance examination is great, compared with what will happen in the future, it is nothing.
This is the happiest and most carefree time for them.
She thought the biggest mistake she made today was not bringing a camera to record such a heartwarming scene.
But later she consoled herself, saying that this was not bad at all, as those beautiful memories were meant to be kept in memory. It would be nice to take them out and reminisce about them decades later.

Several of them were leisurely basking in the sun, enjoying the warm breeze, and feeling the fragrance of the surrounding grass, but the Xia family in the city were not so lucky.
Xia Qingqing's thing is so expensive. Her husband lost in gambling again, and this time he even borrowed money from loan sharks, which is more than all the times he had been in debt before.
The debt collectors came to their house but couldn't get the money, so they had no choice but to go to the Xia family through the address someone had provided before to ask for it.
When they really started working, they realized that their good son-in-law was not a rich man, but just a drunkard and gambler.
Now he still owes so much money, and people have come to his door. Old Mrs. Xia is so ferocious that he can't even curse her even if he wants to.
He was afraid that if he cursed, these people would punch him and he might just give up. He still wanted to live for two more years.
Looking at these debt collectors and thinking of what they said, I, like an old woman, became completely panicked.
If, as they said, their son-in-law is not a rich man, then what about the 5,000 yuan he took from them before?
This money is 2/3 of their family’s savings. If he cheats them out of it, how will they survive without the high profits he promised?
She trembled and asked the debt collectors:
"What you said is true. He really lost so much money with you. When did he start gambling?"
"When, old woman, I'm telling you this guy is just a gambler. He was always here with us before."
"I don't know what kind of luck he got, but he made a fortune and got married. But then he lost it again and asked us to lend him money, so we lent it to him."
"I originally thought that if he didn't have money, I would chop off one of his hands and then take his wife to pay off the debt. But I didn't expect that he would pay the debt with money the next day."
"Then he had a large sum of money that he got from nowhere and started gambling again. We saw that he had so much money and he was losing, so of course we had to lend him more. After all, he had the money to pay it back."
After hearing what he said, Old Master Xia fell to the ground, his face flushed red, and he muttered:
"It's over, it's over, it's all over."
Seeing his condition, the old woman hurried to help him up, but as a man he was heavier, and she tried several times but failed to lift him up.
So he maintained that posture, raised his head, and said to the debt collectors:
"Impossible, I don't believe it. My granddaughter said she was in big business and was going to make a lot of money. Then she took 5,000 yuan from us and said she would give it to us as shares."
"You can't stand us getting along so you come here to deceive us?"
"Haha, I've really broadened my horizons. I was wondering where that guy got all that money from, and it turns out he cheated you guys."
"He's also doing big business. Look at him, does he look like someone who does big business? Let me tell you, before he won that money, his house was leaking."
"He does nothing all day, drinks when he wins a little, and sleeps outside our casino when he loses a little. He's a complete jerk."
Liu Xiu looked at their expressions, raised his head and said to them:
"Then you can ask whoever borrowed the money from you. We don't have any money, as you can see. We only have these people here, so the living conditions are just like this."
"He cheated me out of the little money I had, and now my child is still lying in bed. That was my child's life-saving money."
"Besides, a married woman is like spilled water. After you marry him next week, you will have no relationship with our family. Your household registration has been moved away. You can't be so shameless as to ask us for money."
The scarred man smiled and said:
"We don't care. We'll give you three more days. You can ask him for it or whatever you want, but you must pay us back."
"I don't care whether your son or not. It's only natural that you should pay back the debt. As for what you said, you can tell your good son-in-law."
"If you can't pay us back, ask around and you'll see what we're up to. If you don't want to be beaten, just pay us back honestly. In our eyes, you're family."
Liu Xiu looked at their reckless behavior and tears came to his eyes. He wanted to stop those who were about to leave, but a look from him scared them so much that they retracted their outstretched hand.
"Didn't you say you could take his wife away to pay off the debt? Then go ahead and do it. Why are you looking for us? Just take her away and marry her off. Then we won't have this daughter in our family anymore."
