The enthusiasm of the teenagers was overwhelming. At first, Qin Xiaoxiao could remind herself that she was an elder and should behave like an elder in front of the younger generation. Later, when the conversation got more exciting, she almost called them brothers and sisters.

Even Chengyu and others found that the little aunt was very unusual. Her knowledge and conversation did not look like a woman who grew up in a farm family.

On the same question, the master's opinion seemed to them to be cliche and uninteresting, but when it came to her mouth, it was refreshing and they couldn't wait for her to continue talking.

Gradually, they developed a heartfelt admiration for Qin Xiaoxiao, but they forgot the real purpose of getting close to her in the first place, wishing they could become their confidants.

The atmosphere on the boat was very harmonious, and laughter could be heard from time to time, startling the wild ducks by the water. Only Jing Heng had a dark face, thinking that these guys were an eyesore, and they should have all been thrown off the boat before.

After some chatting, someone discovered the fishing rods and bait in the boat and suggested stopping the boat for a fishing competition.

This proposal received an enthusiastic response from others, and even attracted the elder Qin Xiaoxiao, who all used the jade and rings they carried with them as prizes.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but agree, so he agreed.

It's just that she didn't bring anything with her when she went out today, so she couldn't take out the jadeite noodle that Jingheng gave her today, so she had to ask him for help and ask him to help her get out the jadeite.

This time Jingheng was very talkative and took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it together with the other people's prizes.

Whoever catches the most fish in one stick of incense will get the prize.

There were only two fishing rods that came with the boat, so they bought seven or eight rods from other boats, enough for ten of them.

"Don't worry, little aunt, we'll let you go later and we won't make you lose face." Lian Chengyu took the baited fishing rod from the attendant and said to Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Others echoed: "Yes, little cousin, don't cry if you can't catch a fish. Let's play together in the future. There will be many opportunities to compete, and you will always win."

Qin Xiaoxiao said meaningfully: "I hope you can still say such things after burning incense."

When it comes to fishing, she has never lost to anyone. Even if she doesn't use her abilities, these fish will rush to bite her hook. It has to be said that she is clearly taking advantage of these guys in the fishing competition.

"Haha, okay, little aunt, let's have a good competition!" Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's confidence, Lian Chengyu and others did not dare to take it lightly and took this fishing competition a little more seriously.

When the incense is lit, ten fishing hooks are thrown into the water one after another, causing gentle ripples on the water.

Jing Heng sat next to Qin Xiaoxiao, looking at her focused expression, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and he fished quietly with her.

Xingyue Lake is very big, and there are countless fish of all sizes in it. After a while, fish bite the hook, and someone caught a palm-sized crucian carp.

"Not bad, not bad, this fish is fat enough." Lian Chengyu took a look at it and suggested: "Let's keep the fish that looks good and cook it after we land it."

"Okay, I haven't eaten the fish I caught yet." Others nodded and began to look forward to catching the fish they like.

Qin Xiaoxiao had no objection. With so many people fishing together, they could always catch a few uncommon ones. It was good to try something new.

Soon, most of the sticks of incense passed, and everyone else caught a lot. Among them, Lian Chengyu caught the largest fish, which weighed about ten kilograms. Only Qin Xiaoxiao didn't catch a single fish scale, even after such a long time.

, not even one bit the hook.

She held her breath very deeply, and the fishing rod in her hand did not move at all. The wind coming out of her face picked up the strands of hair beside her ears, and Jing Heng helped her smooth them down so that they would not disturb her.

"Little aunt, did you put out no bait?" Lian Chengyu asked in confusion, reaching out to pull her fishing rod to confirm his guess: "It makes no sense that you can't catch even one!"

"Don't move!" Jing Heng blocked his hand, his eyes never leaving the water: "It's almost over."

Lian Chengyu was confused: "What's so fast?"

Jingheng ignored him.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxiao's hand suddenly sank, and the fishing rod almost flew out of her hand. She held on to the fishing rod tightly and calmly asked Jingheng for help: "Brother Li, I can't pull this fish up."

Jing Heng stood up and stepped forward, holding one hand between hers and grabbing the front with the other. Feeling the strength of the big fish, he estimated its weight: "No less than thirty kilograms."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded. With many years of fishing experience, she knew that the fish was indeed over thirty kilograms. She couldn't pull it up without anyone's help. She was almost brought into the water just now.

When they heard that the fish was so big, everyone else couldn't sit still. They put down their fishing rods just to come over. They stretched their necks to look into the water and saw the waves caused by the struggling fish. It was obviously quite big.

"Little cousin, little cousin, please work harder, don't let the big fish get away!" These teenagers were so excited that they kept encouraging Jing Heng and wanted to do it themselves and pull this big fish away.

Come up.

The couple ignored them. While fighting the big fish to prevent it from breaking the fishing line and escaping, they also tried to reel in the pole to consume its strength.

As the big fish got closer and closer to the water, the noise it made became louder and louder. Gradually, a fish tail larger than an adult's hand appeared on the water. It flapped hard and made a "pop" sound.

Crisp sound.

Such a big movement also alarmed other tourists on the boat. They all wanted to see how big the fish was, so they ordered the boatman to stop the boat and watch from a short distance away.

"No wonder my little aunt has never caught a fish before. It turns out that this big guy is nearby." Lian Chengyu suddenly realized and secretly admired Qin Xiaoxiao's endurance.

In other words, he couldn't catch fish with most of the incense sticks, so he had to change the bait and the territory long ago.

The same goes for other people, no one knows what's going on underwater. If they still don't see any fish biting the hook, they won't think that there is a big fish nearby, they will just think that they are unlucky today and not suitable for fishing.

When the stick of incense was only one finger long, Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng, who had been slipping for a long time, finally felt that the pulling force on the other end had become smaller. Obviously, the fish had no strength left, so they could pull it with more force.

Come up.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to let go. After so many years, she knew that Jingheng couldn't catch fish. If she handed the fishing rod completely to him, the fish would probably escape. So she always stood behind and wouldn't let the fishing rod go.

.

The couple cooperated tacitly and speeded up the fishing rod. Soon the exhausted big fish surfaced, exposing its entire body.

"Like a red-eyed dace."

Someone with a sharp eye judged the fish's species based on its body shape and head shape.

"The red-eyed dace can't grow that big. The largest red-eyed dace I've ever seen only weighs seven or eight pounds."

"I also feel like a red-eyed dace... I don't care if it is, just pull it up and you will know."

At the last moment when the stick of incense burned out, the big fish was pulled up by Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng. Seeing its bright red eyes, there was no doubt that it was a red-eyed dace.

The red-eyed dace still had the strength to flap, and it made a snapping sound on the boat plank, as if it wanted to smash it to pieces. Unfortunately, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not return to the water.

"Tsk, tsk, such a big red-eyed dace must live for decades, right?" Lian Chengyu couldn't help but poke the fish's body, surprised that it could grow to such a big size.

"It should be twenty years." Qin Xiaoxiao's hands softened from exhaustion, and he sat on the pony and panted: "Brother Li, check if it has hurt its internal organs. If not, let it go. It's not easy to grow so big."

The key is that he is very smart. He was tempted by the bait for so long before biting the hook. No wonder he grew so big. It always feels a bit sinful to eat such a fish.

Lian Chengyu and others did not say they had any objections. They did not catch this fish and were not qualified to handle it.

Although the red-eyed dace is delicious and delicious no matter how it is cooked, the meat quality of such a large red-eyed dace should not be very good. They have never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, so there is no need to attack this fish.

"Fortunately, the fishhook got stuck on the fish's lip, so the injury is not serious." Jingheng checked it himself, told Qin Xiaoxiao, and ordered the scissors to remove the fishhook and release it.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Lian Chengyu and others and said with a smile: "I won."

Lian Chengyu glanced at the fish he had caught and said in a depressed tone: "Auntie, you win!"

When the others saw him like this, they all burst out laughing, then admitted defeat and flattered Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao took all the orders, picked out Jingheng's jade pendant and tied it around his waist, then let Shitou collect all their winnings, silently thinking about whether he could sell these jade pendants and get the money.

My parents bought a small house near the princess mansion.

This is the money she earned through her own skills, so her parents won't feel awkward holding it.

Even Chengyu and others picked out the fish they thought were good from their respective fish baskets and released the other fish.

The group of people entered the painting boat and drank tea while admiring the scenery, which was quite enjoyable. After visiting most of the lake scenery, they all felt hungry, so they asked the boatman to turn around and dock.

"Little uncle, I'll go to your villa to have dinner. I won't come back until I'm drunk." After getting off the boat, Lian Chengyu hooked his hand on Jing Heng's shoulder and made a request politely.

Jing Heng gave him a warning look, signaling him not to go too far.

Lian Chengyu was not afraid at all and went directly to beg Qin Xiaoxiao: "Little aunt, just take pity on us nephews and take us to Bieyuan and give us a bite to eat."

The others did not let go of this opportunity to trouble Jing Heng, and all pretended to be pitiful: "Yes, little cousin, we have never had a bite of my little cousin's food when we grew up. Fortunately, I have my little cousin."

Auntie will definitely love us!"

Bao Qin Xiaoxiao could handle it by herself, but with so many young men coming together, she had no choice but to agree despite Jing Heng's black face: "Okay, let's all go, but we agreed first, no

drink wine."

Lian Chengyu and others were worried that the request was too much and they would not even be able to enter the gate of the garden, so they all responded: "No drinking, just eating."

Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, quietly hooked the man's palm, and said with a flattering look: "Don't be angry, they will leave after dinner."

Jing Heng looked at her angrily, his face looking better after all.

The Bieyuan here is not as big as Xiaoliju, but the location is very clever. It is located on Xingyue Lake, surrounded by water and only connected by a bridge. It should be a good place to cool off in summer, but there may be a lot of mosquitoes.

Not to mention the scenery inside, it is no worse than Xiaoliju. In comparison, it is even more atmospheric and beautiful, and it is obviously decorated according to Jing Heng's preferences.

It was even the first time for Chengyu and others to come here. They fell in love with this place at the first sight when they entered. They immediately started to cheer, shouting that the little uncle would enjoy it. It had been so long since they had brought their nephews here to play.

Jingheng was too lazy to pay attention to them, and asked Dabu to tell the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, and then went shopping with Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao saw the swing and the cane chair hanging under the grape trellis. It was obviously not something he knew how to play with. He asked curiously: "Brother Li, were these added later or made at the beginning?"

Jing Heng took her to sit on the wicker chair and said, "It was built together with the Villa. I thought you might like it if you came over to play."

The garden was built six years ago, when he was fourteen and Qin Xiaoxiao was ten. The two of them still had the most innocent brother-sister relationship. When he had people build swings, rattan chairs and grape trellises, he thought she would like to play.

.

"Brother Li, you are so kind to me!" Qin Xiaoxiao leaned on Jing Heng and said happily: "I used to worry that you wouldn't be so kind to me if you married a wife, but now I don't have to worry.

hey-hey."
