Chapter 1696

The energetic male college students boasted endlessly as soon as they returned, describing that mouthful of fried rice as something that existed only in heaven and not on earth.

Regarding this, their classmates scoffed!

Everyone had eaten their fill before coming to class; who would still be craving that mouthful of fried rice?

With their hearty appetites, lack of pickiness, and perpetual hunger, any stall outside the cafeteria would be enough to make them kneel and sing praises.

But...

Slurp!

They were still describing it now—the sour, spicy, soft, and crunchy water caltrop stems, the large chunks of golden, fragrant eggs, the rice that couldn't be described but was like the legendary rice of myths, paired with the grilled skewers that were hinted at but which they hadn't actually eaten...

Could it really be that delicious?

Everyone's Dao heart began to waver.

Subsequently, the topic shifted to the divine couple, saying things like she looked better than this or that celebrity, and her boyfriend looked even better than so-and-so...

This was where it became fake.

Too much of a good thing!

The classmates who had been wavering began to confirm from this moment on that they were spouting nonsense, likely a fantasy born from contemporary college students being so poor they were both famished and craving food.

Regarding this, the male students were heartbroken!

The feeling of having tasted a peerless treasure but having no one to envy them was truly unbearable! But after saying a few more words, they realized even their girlfriends didn't believe them...

This was unacceptable!

The male students adjusted their strategy: stop bragging about the food and switch to the handsome man their girlfriends would be interested in.

"I'm telling you, the pretty boss's boyfriend is really super handsome! Super! You must believe me! Even I, a man, have to admit it!"

The girlfriend scoffed: "Straight men only think they are the best in the world; how could they easily admit someone else is? Last month when playing ball, the guy on the other side was clearly very handsome, but you insisted on saying he was pretentious and greasy. Could it be..."

She looked at her boyfriend suspiciously, her expression gradually turning strange.

The college students:...

Things having reached this point, they wouldn't believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes, so even though it hadn't been long since they parted, the college students asked actively!

It didn't matter if they were rejected; they would ask again next time!

The five of them asked one by one!

But fortunately, Song Tan agreed.

"There's nothing much to do on the weekend anyway, right?"

There were so many tourists, and it would be a waste not to let the kids burn off some energy on such a large sports field!

The only regret was that the weather was too hot, so it could only be in the morning or evening.

Wu Lan did the math: "So, including food and lodging, for seven people, that's spending two thousand yuan to hire people to keep Qiao Qiao company for two days?"

"That's right," Song Tan had already learned a lot about spending money from Lu Chuan: "It won't cost 2000 yuan; the food is our own cost, and Brother Yanping can give me a discount at the homestay. Five men and two women... 1500! 1500!"

"Spending this 1500 to hire people to teach Qiao Qiao how to play table tennis, badminton, basketball, and the like, and doing it properly can protect himself. Mom, if you calculate it this way, isn't it cost-effective?"

Wu Lan:...

Don't say it, calculating it this way, it really is much more cost-effective...

No! How is it cost-effective! When it comes down to it, it's still spending money to hire people to keep Qiao Qiao company!

But thinking about it again, Wu Lan didn't say anything more.

The family's conditions were better, and Qiao Qiao also contributed a lot, so it should be spent!

She only instructed: "Once in a while is fine, but you can't always hire people like this."

Song Tan nodded: "Don't worry, at most once a month—later on, we won't include lodging."

It was just that with the current high temperatures, it wasn't appropriate to make people travel day and night without including lodging.

Just like that, planning and arranging, Song Sancheng finally waited until the afternoon. After their naps, everyone was full and satisfied.

He could no longer hold back, riding his bike through the scorching sun to rush to Lu Chuan's homestay: "Are we going fishing? If we're going fishing, let's go dig for earthworms now!"

As a farmer, Song Sancheng had a very simple concept, which was that everything had to be fresh to be good.

For example, these earthworms had to be dug fresh when they were needed.

He didn't want the dark, fat ones; the fish didn't like those. They had to be the small, thin, red ones...

Of course, digging for earthworms now wasn't done in front of or behind his own house, but had moved to the river beach pasture next to the pigsty.

Although the pigs were free-range and didn't often poop in the sty, a pig's snout plowing from east to west made the soil loose and fertile, which was exactly where earthworms loved to appear!

And for city people, the last time they dug for earthworms to go fishing was... the last time! Now they all bought bait!

Therefore, they were full of enthusiasm, carrying brand-new equipment on their backs, shoulders, and in their hands, fully geared up. When they were about to leave, they looked at the big sun and pulled Song Sancheng into the car as well.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Song Sancheng hurriedly stuffed his equipment into the trunk, hesitating: "Can the cats get in your car?"

Their family's orange cat and its children, who could no longer carry on the family line, loved waiting for him to feed them!

As soon as he said this, everyone became enthusiastic immediately: "Oh my, with so many of us, won't we stuff them to death this afternoon!"

"They can get in..." Qin Yun also looked left and right: "Where are the cats?"

Song Sancheng's old face flushed red.

Fortunately, he was a bit tanned, so it wasn't obvious—as for the cats, they had followed a few times and found that after walking so far from home to the river beach, he would only end up empty-handed, so they preferred to follow Qiao Qiao to set the ground cages.

But in front of guests, he couldn't lose face.

Song Sancheng looked steady: "They might be a bit shy. You guys go first, I'll bring them later on my bike."

"Okay!"

Everyone was full of anticipation, bustling about: "When we catch fish the size of a palm, we'll give them all to them..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, these cats follow us fishing every day; I don't know how happy they must be!"

"Yeah, such good fish... Wait a moment, I'll see which one is the prettiest, and I'll be responsible for feeding it."

"Don't you dislike cats?"

"It's not like I'm raising it at home, and I don't have to take care of it, so what's there to like or dislike... I'm just afraid that if we catch too many and can't finish them, I'll let the cats share some..."

The car started slowly and soon drove toward the river beach, while Song Sancheng rode his electric scooter home. He couldn't find the cats in the courtyard, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Big Orange!"

"Big Orange! Second Orange! Third Orange! Fourth Orange! Fifth Orange! Sixth Orange!"

This family of six was nowhere to be seen. Wu Lan heard him and couldn't help but say: "Following you means nine meals hungry in three days; they don't even want to follow you now, so stop shouting."

After traveling long distances and taking a boat, they didn't even get a shrimp in the end, which made the cat boss look very short-sighted.

After thinking about it, she added: "Call them 'Mimi'."

"Recently, I saw Big Orange fighting with a tabby cat. I don't know if it won, but that tabby cat dares to come into the courtyard to steal its food."

"Poor things, they probably haven't eaten anything good either. You take it with you; even if you don't catch anything, people won't blame you."

"Even if there's no credit, there's hard work."

Song Sancheng:... A great humiliation! A great humiliation!

He swore that he would wash away his shame today, so he shouted even louder:

"Mimi—"

?? White is isolated because another cat also has feline panleukopenia. Symptoms appeared on the day isolation ended, with an incubation period of 7-10 days, meaning although they were in different places, they were infected at about the same time.

? The others who ate, drank, and slept with it...

? Oh my god!!!

? But don't panic, everyone, I'm not panicking anymore (I have experience). It's just that the cat is both cowardly and fierce, and the doctor and I couldn't hold it down, and it scratched me 【in all sorts of ways】...

? 【Retracting my big talk, I'm so sleepy again...】
