Ah Ji sat stiffly next to Old Lady Xu, so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Zhang gave him a portion of the extra bowls and chopsticks. After Ah Ji took it with both hands, he didn't know which dish to pick up with his chopsticks.
Old Mrs. Xu had inhaled too much cooking fumes and was recovering. Xu Ning and the others had already eaten their favorite dishes and started to pick up some food for Old Mrs. Xu.
"Grandma, eat something quickly."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not hungry yet. Take a rest first."
"Aji, don't just stand there, eat quickly, or there will be nothing left to eat later." Although the "battle" at the Xu family's table was not as intense as that at the other tables, the fighting power should not be underestimated.
Ah Ji tentatively picked up a piece of cucumber and looked back at his father, but his father didn't notice his son's gaze at all and was busy eating!
Ah Ji sighed secretly in his heart, picked up the cucumber and put it into his mouth. The moment it entered his mouth, Ah Ji's eyes lit up.
This...this is so delicious!
Ah Ji prepared himself mentally, planning that he would have to work twice as hard after the meal, before he started to pick up his chopsticks.
Seeing that he was picking up the side dishes, Old Lady Xu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat that was sticking out and gave it to him without saying a word!
Ah Ji looked at Old Lady Xu in shock and wanted to say something but was immediately silenced by a glare from Old Lady Xu.
At a table in the corner of Xianyu Village, Qin Xianglan was eating her rice vigorously while secretly looking at Xu Ning's table.
Because Qin Xianglan did not peek with resentment this time, Xu Ning did not notice it. However, Xu Yuan did notice it, but he glanced at her and ignored her.
Qin Xianglan was also well-behaved and didn't make a fuss. She went back home obediently after dinner.
The village chief's wife, Qin, stayed to help wash the dishes, and finally returned home with a lot of gifts from the Xu family. These were gifts from the Xu family specifically to thank the village wives for their help.
Qin was very happy. She thought that since the Xu family was still willing to give her things, the matter should be over. She looked at Qin Xianglan with much kinder eyes.
Qin Xianglan also became well-behaved and worked honestly, doing whatever her grandmother asked her to do.
At the Xu family's side, it was almost afternoon when they finished cleaning up.
Old Mrs. Xu sat down while massaging her waist, and Xu Ning and others quickly ran over to massage her face and back.
"Mai, is the strength okay?" Xu Ning smiled flatteringly at Old Mrs. Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu half-lifted her eyelids wearily, "I'm fine. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Grandma, I want to go on the big boat with Aunt Yuan and play for a while, hehe, is that okay?"
"What are you doing on the ship?" Old Lady Xu was curious. Suddenly, she remembered the robbery at the county government office and raised her eyelids. "Xu Daya, are you planning to hide something on the ship?"
"Grandma, how could that be? I just haven't been on a boat for a long time and I want to go fishing!" Xu Ning said sincerely, but there was suspicion in Old Mrs. Xu's eyes.
"What about Dabao and Xiaobao? Are they going?"
"If they can go, I want to play for a few days and then come back, is that okay?"
"You are not allowed to go. Have you forgotten that you still have to collect seafood every day?" Xu Ning only remembered this when Old Lady Xu mentioned it. She was about to ask about the treasure box when the mechanical voice rang before she could ask.
"Hello player, today's seafood has been collected and redeemed for points as normal."
"Grandma, the gods just said that Daddy can just transport the seafood there, and I don't have to worry about it."
"real?"
“Really!”
"Then you can only play for three days. You must come back after three days, okay?" Old Mrs. Xu thought that the children were protected by the gods, so their safety should not be a problem. She thought about it and agreed.
"Wuhu~Long live grandma!" Xu Ning cheered and happily high-fived Xu Feng!
"Stop arguing, Xu Daya, be quiet, and stop hitting me! I don't want to see you anymore!"
"Got it, grandma, let's get out of here right now~~"
Xu Ning happily went to pack up with the other children. Zhang came to Old Lady Xu worriedly and asked, "Mom, is it unsafe without an adult to take care of us?"
