The Grand Minister of Agriculture was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You talk like who wants to see you? I think you are an eyesore! Humph!"
He twisted his body, leaving Cui Yong with an angry back.
Old Lady Xu, Xu Yuan, and Xu Ning looked at each other and consciously stepped back. "Happy New Year, young man! Since you know Qin Wen, you are friends. We won't disturb you from reminiscing about the past."
"Who is his friend? I don't have any friends like that."
"Besides, Xu Zhen, you are presbyopic. This guy is older than me. What little brother is he? He is just an old man!" After saying this to Cui Yong, the Minister of Agriculture turned his head back.
Old Mrs. Xu stepped back to her granddaughter, nodded to Cui Yong who was looking at her, and walked away with her daughter and granddaughter without looking back.
The Minister of Agriculture didn't hear any sound behind him for a long time. He turned around and lo and behold, there was no one there!
After Old Lady Xu and her two grandchildren left, Cui Yong also disappeared.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture yelled and cursed angrily, and the sound was carried back to the Xu family in the bamboo forest by the wind. After a while, the Grand Minister of Agriculture became dejected again.
"Everyone knows to avoid me. Am I a viral plague?" There was no one around, and the Minister of Agriculture could not control the grievance on his face.
"Grandma, isn't it a bad idea for us to leave him there alone?" Xu Ning saw the scene on the cliff from the drone and asked Old Mrs. Xu who had already returned to the Xu family.
Old Lady Xu drank the warm tea from the cup, slowly put it down, and then said, "There's nothing wrong with him coming in broad daylight. If he doesn't come back by dark, just have Yuanyuan and Jiaojiao go and call him back. The pirates are gone now, and Salted Fish Village is so small, he won't be in any danger."
Besides, there were drones deployed by Xu Ning to take aerial photos, so there was nothing to worry about. Qin Wen, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, was just old, not a child, so there was nothing to worry about if he wasn't around for a while.
Xu Ning thought about it and agreed. Besides, it was the first day of the new year, so there was no need to waste time because of the Minister of Agriculture. The next moment, Xu Ning happily called people to go fishing at the beach together.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is not suitable for long-distance travel. Except for a few families with whom we have good relations, no one in Xianyu Village wants to move around. Instead of going to a few families and having disagreements with them, we might as well just call them out and go fishing together at the beach.
Xu Ning prepared a basket of food and led a large group of children to the beach.
At the same time, a group of outsiders came to the town closest to Xianyu Village.
The sky gradually darkened and the sun began to set. The basket that Xu Ning originally used to hold food was now filled with seafood.
Xu An and Xu Yuan were relatively strong, so they each carried a basket on one side and walked home. Xu Ning and Xu Feng were still making an appointment with the children behind them to go fishing again in two days!
In front of Xu Ning and his sister, a group of children who were "in trouble" nodded their heads frantically. Some of them were so nervous that the candies in their pockets fell out. Seeing this, they immediately squatted down to pick them up, but more candies fell out.
The scene was a bit chaotic. Just then, the adults from Xianyu Village came over. The children ran to their parents with their earnings, "Dad, look, this is the candy I earned today!"
"Mom, try it quickly. The candy Miss Xu gave you is so sweet."
"Hey! So sweet! Yaya, eat it!"
The adults all thanked Xu Ning and his siblings. Xu Ning pushed Xu Feng out, and Xu Feng said like a grown-up, "You're welcome, uncle and aunt. This is what the little friends deserve! Today, Hu Zi and Shuan Zi were the best and got the most candies. Next time, you have to surpass them. The next time, the friends who surpass you will get other rewards! My second sister said it's a reward for progress!"
"Wow!! Next time I will definitely surpass Hu Zi!"
"More than the plug!"
"Of course! If Hu Zi Shuan Zi continues to rank first, there will be rewards!" Xu Feng winked mischievously, and Xu Ning pulled him back with a smile.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so we'll use candy and snacks instead. From now on, when it's not Lunar New Year, we'll use copper coins instead of rewards. Or you can tell us what you like, and we'll consider it."
"Wow wow wow wow" the children were excited!
"Can we have fireworks?" a kid in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"Okay, but we'll talk about the replacement next time. It's getting late today, let's go back quickly. I wish everyone all the best in the new year! Bye~" Xu Ning pulled Xu Feng to quickly catch up with Xu An and Xu Yuan who were almost out of sight in front, and just in time they heard the call of Old Lady Xu coming from the bamboo forest.
