Chapter 358 Playing
Xiao Bo stared blankly at the sea, speechless, stunned by the magnificent waves before him.
Uncle Hu looked at the beach with mixed feelings. He never thought he would see the sea in his life. He had only heard about it in stories from the restaurants in town. Watching Fifteen squat down and scoop up sand with his hands, his little feet jumping happily in the sand, he felt a little itchy too. He squatted down, grabbed a handful of fine sand, and felt the wind blowing through his fingers as the fine sand drifted away like smoke...
"You kids..." Aunt Hu didn't have the sea in her eyes, but just followed behind with a doting look, picking up the shoes and collecting them into a pile.
"Don't mind them, take off your shoes and play around, don't be so reserved!" Chen Wenfang sighed contentedly as she walked barefoot in the shallow water of the beach stream...
Aunt Hu and Uncle Hu then happily took off their shoes, found a tree to sit under, and enjoyed the sea breeze while watching the waves come and go. They were very content.
With someone taking the lead, and Chen Wenfang's infectious joy, Caiyun, though she had seen beaches before, had never been to play there because she served others all day long. She turned her back to the people behind the carriage, quietly took off her shoes, stomped on the sand a couple of times, and then quickly put them back on.
Jiang He, who had been silently watching this side, secretly curled the corners of his mouth...
Seeing everyone admiring the beautiful sea view, Chen Xuanyu smirked and secretly scooped up a clump of wet sand from the sea. Taking advantage of Xiao Hao's inattention, he threw it all at him, but unfortunately, he missed a bit and only got some sand on Xiao Hao's face.
"Ouch, you splashed me!" Xiao Hao exclaimed, wiping his face.
"Hahaha! Come and chase me!" Having successfully pulled off his prank, Chen Xuanyu grabbed a handful of wet sand and ran.
"Where do you think you're going!" Xiao Hao quickly squatted down, grabbed a handful of wet sand, and accurately hit Chen Xuanyu's running butt.
"Hahahaha," Chen Xuanyu didn't care at all, patted himself happily, and turned around to throw sand at Fifteen again.
"Ouch!" Fifteen was caught off guard and a thick clump of sand landed on her neck, sliding down her clothes.
"Haha, I hit him!" Chen Xuanyu ran away quickly after his prank succeeded.
"Ugh~ You're so annoying..." Fifteen said angrily, grabbing sand balls with both hands and chasing after him.
"Hahaha!" Chen Xuanyu yelled as he dodged, his little feet flying across the sand.
This child has so much energy!
"Ah, hit!" Fifteen's throws weren't very accurate; Chen Xuanyu dodged both of them. "Don't run!"
"You block that side, I'll block this side, we'll flank him..." Xiao Hao couldn't stand his smug look and quickly devised a strategy.
The two of them grabbed some wet sand and surrounded it.
Chen Xuanyu, however, ran behind Xiao Bo and Xiao Juan'er and hid, laughing and joking.
"Come on, you can't hit me!" He used people as shields, peeking out from the left and right, being incredibly cheeky.
"You! You're cheating!" Fifteen and Xiao Hao were torn between throwing sand and not throwing it. They were reluctant to leave, but after throwing it twice without hitting it, they felt bad about hitting Xiao Bo, who was a very gentle older brother.
Xiao Bo considered himself a big kid and didn't want to mess around with the other kids, but he couldn't leave, so he had no choice but to stand in front of them helplessly.
Xiao Juan got angry and dragged Chen Xuanyu over.
"Smack!" Xiao Hao reacted quickly, and a clump of wet sand accurately hit Chen Xuanyu's chest.
"Uh!" Before Chen Xuanyu could react, he was hit.
Seeing his silly look, Xiao Hao and Shiwu burst into laughter, while Chu Yi and Xiao Juan also couldn't help but chuckle.
"Oh dear, it's all your fault!" Chen Xuanyu pretended to be angry, picked up a handful of sand, and threw it at Xiao Juan's skirt.
"Ah! Oh!" Xiao Juan quickly ran away.
Chen Xuanyu continued to chase, like an eel entering a school of fish, throwing one here and provoking another, stirring up trouble and angering everyone. Even Xiao Bo was caught in the crossfire and got hit a few times.
A group of children were chasing each other on the beach, surrounding Chen Xuanyu. Chen Xuanyu got more and more excited and actually ran towards Chen Wenfang.
"Hey, don't come any closer! I'm wearing a new dress today!" Chen Wenfang shouted as she backed away.
Chen Xuanyu didn't care about any of that; his mother was so big, she could definitely block out a lot of sand.
Seeing her child, covered in sand, rushing towards her, with a bunch of others carrying sand behind him, Chen Wenfang panicked, squatted down, scooped up a handful of sand, and threw it at him.
"Don't come any closer! I said don't come any closer!"
"I'm your son, your own flesh and blood!" Chen Xuanyu, who was hit, had no choice but to change direction.
Chen Wenfang laughed heartily, without a care in the world.
Aunt Hu and the others watched helplessly; this Mrs. Chen was in a playful mood and not at all composed.
Adhering to the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them," Chen Wenfang joined the children in hunting down Chen Xuanyu.
Forced into a corner, he finally hid next to Aunt Hu. Aunt Hu, perhaps pleased, quickly shielded him. Thus, the game came to an end.
Inside the carriage, the exhausted children were already fast asleep.
Chen Wenfang looked at this one and then that one, and said she would make them some small buckets and shovels next time. Finally, she smiled and looked at the sunny first-year students, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. They must be very tired."
Chu Yi smiled shyly, scratched his head, and looked at Chu Yi with eyes full of affection, "What are you saying, godmother? This is what I should do."
"Good boy!" Chen Wenfang couldn't help but pat his head. How fast time flies, he's already a big boy.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was like a big puppy being petted, grinning happily.
The carriage sped along, passing through a bustling market, heading towards the post station.
The assassin in the black coat asked Song Er, "Why don't we make our move on the beach? There are fewer of us, and a volley of arrows would wipe them all out."
Song Er was exasperated. "Are you stupid? You dare to lay a hand on the Jiang family's territory? Believe me, we'll all be floating in the sea tomorrow..."
"What kind of family is the Jiang family? Do you really think we can beat them? Wake up! You're here for the money, not to die!" The leader of the assassins unleashed a barrage of attacks on him, and the others watched helplessly as the carriage passed by, too afraid to make a move.
Ah Xing, watching from behind, looked on with disdain. These assassins, their professional ethics were even worse than ours.
After seeing the Chen family off, Jiang He and Jiang Hai took their leave, but Caiyun said, "Madam Chen, Madam Jiang asked me to stay and serve you. I hope you won't find it offensive."
"Huh?" Chen Wenfang was extremely surprised. "That's not good. How can I let you serve me?"
Jiang He smiled gently, "Since it's Madam's arrangement, you can stay here." After saying that, the two of them left.
Chen Wenfang was somewhat stunned. Could this really be true? "Miss Caiyun, then you should find a room to stay in."
"My lady, you can just tell me whatever you need me to do?" Caiyun asked earnestly.
"Uh, well, there's nothing for you to do. You're tired, go and rest." Chen Wenfang really wasn't used to ordering people around; she'd never been waited on in either of her lives.
