Sun Feifei knew very well that the freshness of the fried fish had nothing to do with it, but she did not say anything to stop Zhao Fang.

Squirrel Mandarin Fish messed up, and it was better for someone else to take the blame than for her to be ridiculed and mocked by everyone.

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she laughed, "Excuse me, is there air in your head? If you read a few more books, you wouldn't say such ridiculous words."

"That's right. I've never heard of anyone's fish being burnt. It's because the fish is not fresh. If you're not a good cook, practice more. Don't blame the toilet when you can't poop."

Shen Mingzhu: ???

Who are you talking about? If you can't speak, just say less.

Ning Yuan stepped out with a smile to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. People make mistakes and horses stumble. It's normal to not perform well occasionally."

Sun Feifei glanced at Ning Yuan with gratitude and said in a relieved tone: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. It's my poor cooking skills. It has nothing to do with Shen Mingzhu. Next time I have the chance, I will make the best squirrel fish to make amends for you all."

Since she said so, it is not appropriate for others to say anything harsh.

Even if this matter has passed, we still have to eat even without the squirrel fish.

As expected, Shen Mingzhu's group's salad of shredded radish received unanimous praise.

On the one hand, the raw shredded radish tastes good, and on the other hand, it also has the advantage of being a cold dish.

Sun Feifei's group wasted a lot of time, causing the hot dishes and snacks prepared by other groups to get cold, and the taste and texture were naturally greatly reduced.

After dinner, the farm served everyone homemade loquats, peaches and other seasonal fruits.

Perhaps it was not the season yet, the loquats were a bit sour. Shen Mingzhu didn't want to eat it after taking a bite, but she was too embarrassed to throw it away, so she simply dug a hole at her feet and buried it quietly.

I don’t know if it was because of the failure at noon, but Sun Feifei has seemed very depressed since lunch and has not taken the initiative to cause trouble.

Shen Mingzhu was happy and relaxed. After eating the fruit, she took Pei Ziheng and Xiang Ying to wander around the farm.

Unexpectedly, there is a horse farm behind the farm.

The horse farm is not big, just an open space the size of a basketball court. Next to it is the stable. Two horses are tied on the grass in front of the stable, one white and the other chestnut. They are swinging their tails and eating tender grass leisurely.

Shen Mingzhu didn't know much about horses, but from the color of their coat and their body shape, she could tell that they were two rare breeds, with shiny fur and no strong odor on their bodies.

The three adults and one child were surrounding the two horses and admiring them, when Ning Yuan and Yan Yi came over from somewhere.

"If you want to ride, I'll ask the farm staff to bring the horse gear over," Yan Yi said.

Xiang Ying and her husband were obviously very interested, especially Xiang Ying's husband. Perhaps men are very keen on activities like horse riding.

Soon, the two horses were harnessed.

With the help of the groom, Xiang Ying tremblingly sat astride the white horse, and greeted Shen Mingzhu with a flushed face, feeling both scared and excited.

"You ride the other one, and we'll go together."

Shen Mingzhu shook her head, "You ride it, I'm timid."

Yan Yi, who was standing by, heard this and said to Shen Mingzhu, "I can take you."

Before Shen Mingzhu could respond, Pei Ziheng spoke up first, "Mom, I want to ride a horse."

Shen Mingzhu immediately ignored Yan Yi and looked down at her son, "Aren't you afraid of falling?"

Ning Yuan smiled and replied, "I'll take him for a ride."

After confirming that Ning Yuan could ride a horse, Shen Mingzhu then felt at ease to hand her son over to him.

Ning Yuan first held the reins and led Pei Ziheng around the stables twice. After Pei Ziheng got used to the feeling on the horse's back, he turned over, mounted the horse's back, and jogged around the stables with Pei Ziheng in his arms.

"Don't worry, Ning Yuan is very good at horse riding and has even participated in competitions."

Seeing her nervousness, Yan Yi smiled and comforted her.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the other person, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have decided to quit the study group."

Yan Yi turned his head, his thin single eyelids revealing some understanding, "Is it because of Sun Feifei?"

Yan Yi groaned, "Is it because of work?"

"That's about right."

"If you need any help, just let me know. I can't guarantee anything else, but I still have some friends in Fengcheng." The last sentence was a bit self-deprecating.

Shen Mingzhu smiled back, "Thank you, but I don't plan to look for a job."

Yan Yi was a little surprised, "Are you planning to start a business?"

"Is it not possible?"

Yan Yi laughed, "Of course not, it's just that you look more like a good wife and mother who is suitable for the family, not an ambitious woman."

"I don't have much ambition, but that doesn't mean I don't have a sense of career. I will do my best and leave the rest to fate. I will take as many steps as I can. In short, I will live up to the people and my life."

Don’t let down the people and don’t let down your life.

Yan Yi repeated this sentence twice in his mind and then smiled.

"All right."

"What?"

"I approve of your reasons for quitting the study group."

Shen Mingzhu was silent, then she thought of something, lowered her head, took out the hundred yuan she had earned today, and handed it over.

Seeing Yan Yi's puzzled expression, Shen Mingzhu explained, "It's the money for the dinner we had at Bernard last time. I suddenly wanted to eat Western food that day, but I didn't expect that I didn't have enough money. Thank you for helping me out."

Yan Yi was silent for a moment, took back the words on his lips, and took the hundred yuan from her.

"It's just a meal, you don't need to take it too seriously."

"No merit, no reward. To you, it's just a meal, but to me it's a big burden. My husband's monthly salary is only a little over a hundred. I owe you such a big favor for no reason. I feel ashamed to accept it."

Yan Yi groaned, "Your husband... is it convenient to ask about his occupation?"

Speaking of the bad man, Shen Mingzhu's face was filled with a smile that she herself didn't even notice, "He is a sailor."

Not far away, Sun Feifei, who had come specially to look for them, saw the two of them chatting happily and her face couldn't help but become gloomy.

Zhao Fang beside her angrily scolded Shen Mingzhu, "This mother and son are so shameless, one is hooking up with Yan Yi, and the other is pestering Ning Yuan, these rural people are really shameless."

Sun Feifei agreed with Zhao Fang's words in her heart, but she advised: "Say less, it's not good for others to hear."

"What are you afraid of? I'm not wrong. She should let her husband see what a slut she is. He might get angry and kick her out and tell her to go back to the countryside."

Sun Feifei glanced at her friend and said nothing.

"So there are horses here. I want to ride a horse too."

Seeing Sun Feifei and Zhao Fang coming over, Shen Mingzhu turned around and walked towards the pavilion next to the horse farm without bothering to pay attention to them.

"Yan Yi."

Looking at Sun Feifei who was blocking his way, Yan Yi's expression remained gentle, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"I have something to say to you."

Yan Yi stared at her for two seconds and smiled faintly, "Okay."

Seeing Yan Yi and Sun Feifei walking in the opposite direction of the horse farm alone, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but think: This Sun guy is really capable. He made such a big fool of himself at noon, but he recovered so quickly.

In the horse farm, after running two laps with Pei Ziheng, Ning Yuan slowed down and let the horse kick and struggle as it walked slowly.

"Little brat, do you know that those who confess will be treated leniently and those who resist will be treated severely? If you tell me what you added to their starch at noon, I will consider not exposing you."
