Chapter 313 Walking the Bamboo Sheng
The overall layout of this farm stay presents the character “品”.
The three "mouths" are three small fish ponds dug artificially, which draw water from the mountain stream. The fish pond on the north is used to raise goldfish, where you can feed the fish when you are bored.
The fish pond on the left is dedicated to breeding various edible fish. It is used as a fishing area and you can fish there for free.
The fish pond on the right is a boating area, and there are several small boats that can carry people.
Meanwhile, after touring the farm and getting a general idea of the terrain, they were taken to the dining area in the middle, near the goldfish pond on the north side.
Looking down from the window of the dining building, you can see big golden and red carp swimming around in it.
A classmate took out a bag of bread he carried with him, grabbed a few bread crumbs and threw them down, which immediately attracted a large group of carp to scramble for the food.
Yan Zhusheng was not interested in the big carp. He looked away after taking a look and then stared at the water bottle in front of Li Luo.
After I saw him take a sip of water, he finally narrowed his eyes happily, and his feet under the chair began to swing gently.
"Zhusheng, what are we going to do this afternoon?" Xu Yinghuan asked as she sat on the other side of Yan Zhusheng. "Fishing is not that interesting. You can feed the goldfish anytime. There are chicken and duck houses on the south corridor. You can go take a look."
"I heard from the boys that they are going to the e-sports room. There are arcade game machines and other things there."
"Jin Yuting and the others asked me if I wanted to play mahjong. Zhusheng, didn't you say you learned how to play mahjong during the New Year? Do you want to go with us?"
Yan Zhusheng listened to Xu Yinghuan nagging in his ear and immediately shook his head: "Huanhuan, just go and have fun, don't worry about me."
"how about you?"
"I'll follow Li Luo."
"If he goes to play games with those boys, are you going to follow him?" Xu Yinghuan said speechlessly, "We girls also need our own entertainment space, so please don't always rely on him."
"Huanhuan, you talk too much." Yan Zhusheng glanced at the dishes that had just been served on the table, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a spring roll for Xu Yinghuan, "Eat more and shut your mouth."
Xu Yinghuan: “…”
"Li Luo, what are you going to do this afternoon?" Yan Zhusheng turned and asked Li Luo.
"After dinner, we'll have free time. I have to walk around everywhere first to see what everyone is doing." Li Luo picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of steamed fish into Yan Zhusheng's bowl, then said, "After making sure no one is running around, we'll see what to play."
"Then I will accompany you."
"Got it, let's eat first."
There were four large round tables for them to eat, three for the students and one for the parents.
Everyone sitting at Li Luo's table was an old acquaintance. When they saw Li Luo picking up some food for Yan Zhusheng, they all looked at each other knowingly and then pretended not to see anything.
When they had almost finished eating, Li Luo took the wine glass and went to the other tables to toast.
Of course, with parents and teachers around, he only drank beverages, but the meaning was clear.
He also asked what everyone was planning to do in the afternoon so that it would be convenient for him to patrol later.
After lunch, Li Luo emphasized the precautions again and announced the disbandment of the group.
Under the guidance of Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, several parents had no intention of following their children. The male parent was dragged by Li Guohong to go fishing, and the female parent played mahjong with Lin Xiuhong and walked towards the mahjong room in the southwest.
As for Kong Junxiang and Ding Xiang, they planned to stroll around for a while and see what the students were doing, which was the same idea as Li Luo.
After all, they are teachers, and they bring their students out to play. Although Li Luo's family is the leader this time, when the time comes, they will still fulfill their responsibilities as teachers.
Xu Yinghuan glanced at Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo, and then was called by Jin Yuting and the others, so she said, "If you really don't come, I will go over there."
"Go ahead." Yan Zhusheng waved at her, "Goodbye Huanhuan, have fun."
Xu Yinghuan: "...You really don't miss me at all? I'm really heartbroken by you."
After being abandoned without hesitation by Yan Zhusheng, Xu Yinghuan burst into tears on the spot and immediately followed Jin Yuting and the others to play mahjong.
Yan Zhusheng glanced at Li Luo, then silently moved closer to him, and vaguely touched Li Luo's hand with the back of his hand, then separated and touched again.
Li Luo obviously knew what she meant. He sighed, glanced at the direction Kong Junxiang and Ding Xiang left, and then roughly confirmed the direction of the parents' destination. He watched everyone gradually leave and then pulled Yan Zhusheng's wrist.
A flash of joy flashed across Yan Zhusheng's eyes, but he quickly restrained it. He lowered his head obediently and let Li Luo hold his wrist, and then he strolled along the south corridor.
This corridor is located in the middle of the two fish ponds on the left and right, with some chicken coops, duck coops and even rabbit houses on both sides.
When Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng walked towards this side, they could hardly see any students from Class 8, but they easily spotted one person.
Letting go of Yan Zhusheng's hand, Li Luo approached a chicken coop and saw Lu Jiahao asking the staff nearby for some rice grains to feed the chickens, and then he scattered them into the chicken coop with great interest.
Seeing a large group of chickens running out clucking and pecking at the ground, Lu Jiahao looked at this scene and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect you like chickens too." Li Luo took a look at the chicken coop and was immediately suffocated by the smell inside and took two steps back. He pulled Yan Zhusheng behind him to prevent her from getting close.
Lu Jiahao didn't care about it, and smiled: "I think every animal has its cute side, we just need to discover it ourselves."
"What's so cute about chickens?"
"I like the way they peck at food, it's very interesting."
"I prefer their legs." Li Luo said after taking a look.
“No matter where you like, as long as you have eyes that can discover beauty, you can see the cute side of animals.”
"No, no, no." Li Luo shook his head. "I just think chicken thighs are tastier and less woody."
Lu Jiahao: “…”
"Well, continue playing. I won't disturb you." Li Luo chuckled twice and immediately pulled Yan Zhusheng away.
After walking two more steps forward, near the entrance of the farmhouse, Li Luoxian took Yan Zhusheng to turn left and walked towards the billiard room in the east.
When I pushed the door open, I saw that there were six pool tables in total, and only one was occupied.
And they are a man and a woman, Fang Chen and Ren Zheng.
"You can't hit me like this, you have to hit me like this, you are so stupid."
When Fang Chen saw how Ren Zheng held the pole, he immediately laughed out loud. Then he picked up his own pole and demonstrated it to her several times.
However, Ren Zheng still didn't know how to do it, so she could only fight randomly. As a result, Fang Chen beat her up badly: "Can't you just let me have a go?"
"How can you give in when playing billiards? If I don't show my true strength, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?" Fang Chen said righteously.
Ren Zheng rolled her eyes when she heard this. Then she saw Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng at the door. She blushed and said hello: "Class monitor, Zhusheng, are you guys coming to play billiards too?"
"Let's just stroll around." Li Luo let go of Yan Zhusheng's wrist and came in from outside.
Yan Zhusheng followed behind happily, picked up a pole from the wall and handed it to Li Luo.
"Just right." Fang Chen chuckled, "Ren Zheng insisted on dragging me over to play billiards. I had already made an appointment with Zhu Yufei and the others to play League of Legends, but now it's boring to play with her. How about the squad leader play a game with me?"
Li Luo glanced at Ren Zheng, who had a gloomy face, and suddenly laughed. Then he said, "You can fight, but I'm not the one fighting with you."
"Ah?" Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, "Then how do we fight?"
"Let Zhu Sheng and Ren Zheng fight, and we will assist." Li Luo said with a smile.
"Is Yan Zhusheng good at billiards?" Fang Chen asked curiously.
"Not very good." Yan Zhusheng shook his head, took the cue from Li Luo, and poked it out clumsily, and the white ball began to roll crookedly.
Fang Chen was speechless when he saw it. "Class monitor, if these two play a game at this level, I feel like this afternoon will be wasted."
"What's the hurry?" Li Luo walked forward, collected the billiard balls, rearranged them, then picked up the white ball and put it in the starting position, and waved to Yan Zhusheng.
Yan Zhusheng walked over obediently and stood in front of Li Luo. After raising the pole, he did not rush to hit the ball out. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Li Luo.
Li Luo raised his chin towards Fang Chen, indicating that he should learn more, and then leaned over Yan Zhusheng's back, put one arm around Yan Zhusheng, and steadied her hand holding the pole.
The other hand held Yan Zhusheng's left hand and taught her how to position her hand to hold the pole.
After doing this a few times and getting the movements right, Li Luo poked hard.
The long-handled spear came out like a dragon, instantly piercing Baiqiu's white and tender buttocks, and with a bang, it scattered the pile of colorful balls.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky and didn’t score a goal.
So Li Luo let go of Yan Zhusheng and raised his hand to signal the two people opposite him: "It's your turn."
At this moment Fang Chen was dumbfounded, thinking that it was possible to play like this, so he turned his head to look at Ren Zheng.
At this time, Ren Zheng's cheeks were already blushing. She didn't expect Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng to play such a big game.
But she didn't refuse. Instead, she walked to the pool table shyly, holding the cue in her hand, glanced at Fang Chen, and then immediately looked away.
"Hurry up." Li Luo leaned against the pool table, crossed his arms and smiled, urging, "Just play this one round, we have to go somewhere else later, don't waste our time."
"Hmm, hmm..." Ren Zheng nodded quickly and set up the pole by himself, but like Yan Zhusheng just now, he was hesitant to make a move.
Seeing this, Fang Chen glanced at Li Luo opposite him. When Li Luo nodded, he came to Ren Zheng and swallowed his saliva.
"Then let me help you?"
"……Um."
So, Fang Chen imitated Li Luo's movements just now, half hugged Ren Zheng's body, held the pole with one hand, and supported the pole with the other hand, helping Ren Zheng adjust the direction and angle. One shot!
The colored ball went into the hole.
When Ren Zheng saw this, she jumped up with joy, patted Fang Chen on the shoulder and praised him, "That's amazing, he really scored a goal!"
"Then why don't you look at who it is?" Fang Chen's ears turned slightly red. He felt a little flattered by the praise and touched his nose proudly.
After both sides got into the game, they started fighting back and forth on the pool table.
After about ten minutes, the battle was over.
Fang Chen and Ren Zheng's team had a slight advantage and successfully won this round. The two happy people immediately clapped their hands excitedly, and Ren Zheng's face turned red with joy.
Li Luo smiled when he saw this, handed the pole to Yan Zhusheng and asked her to put it away, then waved goodbye: "We'll leave first, you two can have fun."
After coming out of the billiard room, Yan Zhusheng glanced at Li Luo and whispered, "Why did you let him win? We could have won."
"Are you unhappy because you lost?" Li Luo said with a smile.
"No." Yan Zhusheng shook his head, wishing he could fight for a while longer.
Walking out of the billiard room now, I still feel a little unsatisfied.
However, Li Luo was only helping to mediate the atmosphere over there. After achieving his goal, he retired and walked west with Yan Zhusheng, and strolled to the mahjong room.
The mahjong room here is designed in the style of an ancient elegant room, with hollow windows through which you can see inside.
Li Luo took Yan Zhusheng to the room where Lin Xiuhong and the others stayed, went in and said hello.
Yan Zhusheng said hello to the aunties obediently, and then poured some tea for Lin Xiuhong.
After chatting for a while, Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng left the mahjong room and found the room where Xu Yinghuan and the others were.
Compared to Lin Xiuhong and the others who were quick in playing mahjong by picking up the cards, the mahjong here was much more slow.
Just looking at the cards can make me confused for a while, and it takes me a long time to choose the card to play.
When Xu Yinghuan saw the two people coming in, she was immediately delighted and immediately called Yan Zhusheng to her side: "Zhusheng, help me, how do I fight this?"
"Hit one." Yan Zhusheng just took a glance and said so.
When the other three saw Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng come in, they all greeted them.
When Jin Yuting saw the two people together, her eyes flickered.
As for Zhu Huiyan and Chen Zhongqi, they are actually quite supportive of the couple Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng, and were privately lured by Xu Yinghuan to join Yan's camp a long time ago.
At this time, seeing two people coming in together, I immediately started to secretly eat sugar.
Especially when they saw Li Luo take a candy from the table next to them, peel it, put one into Yan Zhusheng's mouth first, and then peeled one for himself, the girls' eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at each other and saw the smiles on each other's faces.
But under Yan Zhusheng's guidance, Xu Yinghuan was invincible and won three games in a row easily. Then Zhu Huiyan and Chen Zhongqi shouted that they did not want Yan Zhusheng to help them.
Yan Zhusheng suddenly felt bored and pulled Li Luo away.
After the two left, the mahjong room was suddenly filled with the sound of chattering discussions.
Li Luo glanced at Yan Zhusheng and said jokingly, "Is this person's Mahjong skill pretty good? Why did he keep asking me to teach him during the New Year?"
"It's all thanks to your good teaching during the Spring Festival." Yan Zhusheng said seriously with a stern face, "And Huanhuan and the others are not good, Aunt Lin is good."
"You are always right, right?" Li Luo laughed and pinched her cheek, then walked towards the fishing area.
Yan Zhusheng followed him and quietly put her little hand into his palm, but was immediately let go by Li Luo.
"Don't mess around." Li Luo warned, "We'll be at the fishing spot soon. What if my dad and the others see us?"
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Then it's okay if no one sees it?"
"That won't work either. How can good friends just hold hands so easily?"
"Huanhuan and I are good friends." Yan Zhusheng analyzed seriously, "We often walk hand in hand, why can't I do the same with you? Li Luo, do you discriminate against boys?"
Li Luo: “……?”
"Put aside your perverse ideas."
“It obviously makes sense.”
"I see your butt is itchy."
"Then hit me."
Seeing Yan Zhusheng obediently turning sideways and sticking her butt out towards him, Li Luo's eyes twitched twice. He immediately took her hand and rushed straight to the fishing area.
Li Luo let go again when they were almost at the edge of the fish pond, and saw several figures sitting beside the fish pond in the distance.
After seeing Li Guohong sitting under the pavilion fishing, Yan Zhusheng stopped pestering him and followed Li Luo obediently all the way to the fishing area beside the fish pond.
Li Guohong heard the footsteps behind him, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Why are you two here?"
"Come and see your results." Li Luo said with a smile, and then he tapped the buckets at the feet of several parents and Li Guoru, "It's been almost half an hour, Dad, why don't you have any fish? Uncle and the others have all taken the bait."
"What do you know?" Li Guohong's face darkened, and he immediately said, "This fishing competition is all about patience. A good attitude is the most important thing. It's only been less than half an hour. What's the rush?"
"Do you have any fishing rods left? Give us one too." Li Luo asked the waiter next to him.
The waiter nodded and immediately prepared a fishing rod.
Fishing here is all about the mood, there is no good equipment, but the fish are not big, just grass carp or something like that.
If you catch something, you can ask the kitchen to cook it into a dish for dinner so that you can taste the fish you caught yourself.
Li Guohong saw that they also received a fishing rod, and was immediately surprised and asked: "You two want to go fishing too? Aren't you going to play with your classmates?"
"I'll take her to experience it. We'll be gone in ten minutes." As Li Luo said this, Yan Zhusheng had already gotten two small stools and a small bucket from the waiter, and happily followed Li Luo to the shore and sat down.
Li Luo handed the fishing rod to Yan Zhusheng and taught her how to cast it. After she successfully cast it out, she sat back down.
"You can't do that." Li Guohong shook his head repeatedly. "You cast the rod too close to the shore. The fish will be scared away by the sound of us chatting and won't bite the hook."
"I just came here to feel the atmosphere. It's okay if I can't catch any fish. I can share the same hardship with you, Dad."
"What are you saying?" Li Guohong snorted, "Just wait and see, I'll have it soon."
The parents next to them looked at the communication between the father and son and nodded secretly.
Especially Lu Zhangyuan, after savoring the way of communication between Li Luo and Li Guohong, he silently kept it in mind.
As expected of a parent who could raise such an outstanding child like Li Luo, this seemingly ordinary conversation actually reveals mysteries everywhere.
The friendly conversation between the father and son, in which they teased and teased each other, made them look more like friends, and a 16-year-old boy like Li Luo seemed to have matured a lot.
At this point, the parents nearby all said in their hearts that they need to learn more from Li Luo's parents.
Yan Zhusheng sat quietly beside Li Luo, not saying much, just looking at the water surface of the fish pond.
As a result, within ten minutes, she saw her swim bladder seemed to be shaking, so she immediately shook Li Luo's arm: "Is there a fish on the hook?"
"It seems so." Li Luo was chatting with the parents next to him. When Yan Zhusheng reminded him, he immediately looked at the water surface, then picked up the fishing rod and handed it to Yan Zhusheng, "Hold it tightly, I'll go get the net bag."
By the time Li Luo took the net bag from the waiter, Yan Zhusheng had already tightly grasped the fishing rod and started wrestling with the fish that had taken the bait in the water.
Seeing this scene, Li Guohong paced back and forth excitedly, and acted as the commander of the fountain: "Don't use too much force, don't use too much force, just keep it hanging, consume its energy, and it will be fine when it is tired."
But Li Luo just said: "Just pull the fishing rod back and I will pull it out."
After Yan Zhusheng did as he was told, because the point where the fishing rod was cast was relatively close to the shore, he only took two or three steps back and the fish was pulled to the shore.
Li Luo used a net bag and successfully caught the grass carp into a small bucket.
"Wow!" Li Guohong came over to take a look, "It looks like it must be two or three kilograms, right? It's not small, but not too big either."
"It doesn't matter if it's big or not, as long as I catch it, it's fine." Li Luo laughed, "Dad, why haven't you caught any yet?"
"Shut up." Li Guohong glared at him and sat back in his seat unhappily. "Just wait, you'll be able to eat the fish I caught myself tonight."
"Then I'll wait." Li Luo said with a smile.
But at this time, Yan Zhusheng came to Li Guohong with her small bucket and poured the grass carp she had just caught in the bucket directly into Li Guohong's bucket.
Li Guohong was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Yan Zhusheng whisper: "Uncle, I'll keep this fish with you first. I'll give you some good luck, and you'll definitely be able to catch some fish this afternoon."
"Oh." Li Guohong looked at the extra fish in the bucket. Although it was not caught by him, it was at least a consolation. "Thank you, Zhusheng. Go and have fun. Don't stay here."
"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded happily. Li Luo also greeted the parents. After saying goodbye, he took Yan Zhusheng away from the fishing area.
The two walked towards the e-sports room in the north. On the way, Yan Zhusheng turned his head to look at the fishing area that was almost out of sight, and then gently touched Li Luo's hand with the back of his hand.
The next second, her hand was in Li Luo's palm.
"Good friends only hold hands when they're walking together." Yan Zhusheng explained seriously, "Huanhuan and I have always been like this."
……
In the mahjong room, Xu Yinghuan sneezed several times in succession. After losing seven games in a row, she immediately yelled, "What a lousy luck I have today! My luck is too bad!"
