Gu Nanxun put his mouth to the tire's inflation port, took a deep breath, and began to blow air into it. Soon the tire became inflated.
"Fourth Brother, what are you doing with the inner tube?"
Wang Haoran couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Gu Nanxun shook his head without saying anything. He picked up Gu Ziyao and said, "Come here, Ziyao, let Daddy tell you what this is for."
Gu Nanxun reached out and carried Gu Ziyao to the riverbank, then placed her inside a tire ring. And that made a makeshift swimming ring.
"Dad is so amazing! I didn't fall down."
Gu Ziyao lay on the tire and said happily.
"Lie still, don't fall!"
Gu Nanxun patted Gu Ziyao's little bottom and said with a smile.
"Dad, I want to play too."
"Dad, I want to play too."
"Uncle, I want to play too."
"Uncle, I want to play too."
…………
Gu Nanxun was quickly surrounded by the children, and Wang Haoran looked at Gu Nanxun with shining eyes, almost blurting out, "Fourth Brother, I want to play too!"
Chen Bin and Lin Yunfeng stared at the tire under Gu Ziyao with shining eyes, then turned to look at the pile of uninflated inner tubes that Gu Nanxun had placed aside.
The two exchanged a glance, then walked over and began blowing air into the inner tube, mimicking Gu Nanxun.
They saw Gu Nanxun blowing it so easily, but when they tried it themselves, they found it wasn't so easy. It took them a long time to inflate an inner tube.
Wang Haoran was getting anxious when he saw that Gu Nanxun was ignoring him. Suddenly, he noticed what Chen Bin and Lin Yunfeng were doing. His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over, picked up an inner tube, and started blowing air into it, just like Chen Bin and Lin Yunfeng.
"Don't rush, everyone, there's more! We'll have three kids playing together, girls with girls, and boys with boys."
Seeing the anxious children beside him, Gu Nanxun gently patted each child's head and said with a smile.
"Okay, Ziyao, we'll play again later. Daddy will go and help the older boys inflate their swimming rings."
After Gu Nanxun finished speaking, he took Gu Ziyao out of the swimming ring again and walked towards Chen Bin and Wang Haoran.
The tire rings are quite large, and children can easily fall out of them if they're not careful, so adults need to supervise them while they play.
At this moment, Chen Bin, Wang Haoran, and Lin Yunfeng had each started playing one, and the three of them were now putting all their strength into playing the second one.
Seeing Gu Nanxun bring the children over, Wang Haoran looked at Gu Nanxun with bright eyes, quickened his pace, and quickly added an inner tube and blew it up.
"Fourth Brother, how was my performance?"
Wang Haoran looked at Gu Nanxun with eyes full of admiration, like a puppy eagerly waiting for praise.
Gu Nanxun reached out and pressed on the inner tube that Wang Haoran had inflated. "It's good, it's very inflated!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Haoran proudly raised his head. "Fourth Brother, you're amazing! How did you know this thing could be used as a swimming ring?"
Gu Nanxun shook his head upon hearing this and remained silent. He couldn't very well tell Wang Haoran that he had seen him before!
At this moment, Chen Bin also put down the inner tube in his hand. "Fourth Brother, where did you get so many tires and inner tubes? They all look brand new to me."
Gu Nanxun didn't say anything when he heard this, because he bought these on Taobao. Since they weren't bought in real life, there was no need to answer. Some things, if you say too much, will always reveal loopholes, so it's better not to say anything. So he bent down, picked up an inner tube, and started blowing it up.
Chen Bin's question was just a casual inquiry. He didn't hear Gu Nanxun's reply, and he didn't care. After all, these things weren't that important.
Besides, Fourth Brother had always been a mystery to them. Although Fourth Brother hadn't said it, they all knew that the real master behind the black market in Heilongjiang Province was Fourth Brother. His Fourth Brother must have had some unknown connections to be able to obtain so much food and other supplies. Since they had benefited from following Fourth Brother, they couldn't keep digging into the details and want to know everything.
Soon, the four people blew up more than a dozen inner tubes, and the children happily played in the river in groups of three.
Wang Haoran and Lin Yunfeng each carried a swimming ring and swam towards the deeper water.
This made the children eager to try it out, and they kept wanting to go over there, but in the end, Gu Nanxun had to call them back.
Wang Haoran, who had been called back, lay lazily on the tire. "You brats, I told you not to go, but you insisted on going, and now I can't go either."
Wang Haoran's son glanced at his father with disdain, "Dad, how old are you? Why are you still so childish!"
"How am I childish? Ah... how am I childish..."
Upon hearing his son's words, Wang Haoran rushed towards his son while saying something.
"Hehe...haha...hehe..."
Soon, bursts of cheerful laughter echoed from the river.
Gu Nanxun did not go into the water. He sat by the river and watched the people playing in the river with a gentle expression. The breeze blew on his face, and even his cold and hard face showed a rare touch of tenderness.
And thanks to Gu Nanxun's swimming ring, the children are no longer afraid of this uncle or uncle.
...
"These men play like children."
Under the shade of the tree, Lu Xianghong looked up at the group of people playing in the distance, then said to Lin Qing, Yu Fengjiao and Zhao Xi while cutting the meat in her hand.
I want to play too!
Xu Fengjiao blinked at the men playing in the distance and said enviously.
"You'll never grow up!"
Looking at Xu Fengjiao's expectant expression, Lu Xianghong couldn't help but say something.
Actually, she was quite envious of Xu Fengjiao, who always seemed like a child who never grew up. You know, only those who are favored by time can stay young forever.
"It's okay, they'll be done playing soon, then you and Xixi can go play!"
Lin Qing looked at Lin Qing beside her, who also had a longing look in her eyes, and said with a smile.
"It's okay, I don't need a swimming ring, I can swim!"
Zhao Xi, who was grilling skewers, smiled and said after hearing Lin Qing's words.
...
Soon, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, and the children's stomachs began to rumble. They all scrambled towards Lin Qing and the others, quickly surrounding Zhao Xi.
"Mom... is Rou Rou better?"
"Auntie, is it ready to eat?"
…………
"Go to the car and change your clothes first, then you can eat."
Seeing the children's longing expressions, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh.
