Joy of Life: The Mei Family's Son Grows Up

Chapter 54 Make You Laugh

Emptiness, despair, haggardness, and a dead heart are all inadequate ways to describe that kind of despair.

Coupled with that face which is completely expressionless, stiff, and rigid, as if it has facial paralysis.

Fan Ruoruo blushed again, not because she was shy, but because she was ashamed. Others invited her to play, but she brought a burden with her. The key point was that this burden caused such a big blow to others. It was so embarrassing that she felt too embarrassed to see anyone.

After looking at Mei Cheng'an with an apologetic look, Fan Ruoruo fixed her eyes on the back of Fan Sizhe's head again. She was so angry that her teeth were itching. She had already started to think about what means she would use to deal with this bastard brother when she returned.

Versace was facing a formidable enemy at this moment. This couple was very capable and he had suffered several losses. He had to be careful in dealing with them. Suddenly, he felt a chill coming from behind him, so cold that it chilled him to the bone and made him shiver subconsciously.

This shouldn't be the case. I was wearing enough clothes when I came here in the morning, and it was still hot just now. My mother was right. The weather is really changeable.

……

Mei Cheng'an's sentence lasted until lunch time, when three and a half of the four maids' purses were emptied. Of course, this was due to time reasons, otherwise, with his ability, it would only take a few minutes to lose all the money.

Seeing the three people winning a lot of money and smiling happily, Mei Chengan felt slightly relieved. His smile did not disappear, it just shifted to the faces of those three people. It's okay, it's okay.

Everyone was busy. Wang Qinian was processing the fish, Mrs. Wang was washing the vegetables, Bluebird was setting up the barbecue grill, Mei Yuxi and Fan Ruoruo, together with Versace's driver, went to the maple forest to collect firewood, Sweet Potato was moving the wine, Cucumber was pickling the meat, and Green Ant was lighting the charcoal. It was a busy scene.

Wang Ba returned to Mei Cheng'an's hands. Mei Cheng'an kissed Little Pork Belly twice hard on the face. Little Pork Belly was frightened and screamed and giggled. Mei Cheng'an felt that his mood finally improved.

Holding Wang Ba, Mei Cheng'an looked at her here and there. Wang Ba was very curious and asked what everything she saw was. Mei Cheng'an patiently explained to her. When they walked to the barbecue area, Wang Ba set her eyes on the honey that was to be brushed on the barbecue. After Mei Cheng'an finished explaining this time, he picked up a chopstick, dipped it in honey and put it into Wang Ba's mouth.

Wang Ba licked the tip of the chopsticks carefully, feeling it with a smile on his face.

"sweet!"

"Would you like some more?"

"want."

Just as Mei Cheng'an was about to give her some more, he was stopped by Mrs. Wang who had just finished washing the vegetables.

"Mei Cheng'an! Don't let her eat sweet things all the time. What if her teeth get damaged? Wang Ba, watch out for your butt if you keep messing around!"

The two, big and small, both shrank their necks. Mei Chengan threw down his chopsticks, grabbed the pork belly and ran away.

The two hid in a corner out of Mrs. Wang's sight and exchanged their thoughts with lingering fear.

"Little pork belly, your mother is so fierce."

"Yeah, very fierce."

"Are you afraid of your mother?"

"afraid!"

"I'm afraid too. Has your mother ever spanked you?"

"No."

"Then you are still afraid of her."

"Yes, I am afraid."

It seems that it is in his bones. Mei Chengan also feels it deeply. In terms of martial arts, he can kill a hundred of her by himself, but he is just afraid. When he hears that angry voice, he can't help but feel a sense of fear. Maybe this is the power of the legendary tigress.

Mei Cheng'an and Xiao Wuhuarou looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Ugh…"

……

Mei Cheng'an didn't have to wait too long for lunch. New straw mats were laid next to the tea and lounge area, and several tea tables were put together to form a long and thin table.

On the table were some freshly cooked meat, vegetables and fruits, as well as a small bucket of wine, and the grilled fish was not ready yet.

After Mei Cheng'an sat down, everyone else followed suit. Without saying anything, they started eating.

The grilled meat and roasted vegetables were brushed with honey in addition to sauce, so they tasted slightly sweet and full of meaty aroma. Mei Chengan was very hungry after sitting in jail for a whole morning, so he ate a little faster.

Have another glass of burping wine. The refreshing and cold burping wine goes into your stomach, and it immediately makes you feel refreshed all over, completely eliminating the heat brought by the hot skewers of meat.

Comfortable~

Everyone was eating with gusto, except Fan Ruoruo, who was a little reserved. She took the meat skewers piece by piece, put them into the bowl, and ate them in small bites with chopsticks.

Look at her younger sister Mei Yuxi again. She is so good at eating skewers that her cheeks are puffed up. This is how eating skewers should be done.

Little Pork Belly was so happy eating it. She liked eating meat in the first place and could not live without it. Now it was not only meat but also sweet meat. She was so satisfied after eating it.

When they were halfway through the skewers, the grilled fish was finally ready. Fortunately, they used firewood. If they had used a barbecue grill, they might not be able to grill such a big fish even after they finished their meal.

Little Pork Belly finally got to eat the grilled fish she had been craving for, but her little belly had taken up a lot of space from the grilled meat, so she couldn't eat any more after just two or three bites of the grilled fish, and her little belly was bloated.

In addition to food for the maids and the coachman, Mei Cheng'an also asked Hongshu to deliver a portion to the ascetic monk in the thatched hut and pay the boat fare first.

After lunch, Mrs. Wang forced Little Pork Belly to go for a walk. When he had almost digested the food, he rested for a while. Soon he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and fell asleep. Mrs. Wang sent him back to the carriage, and Mei Cheng'an ordered Green Ant to watch over him.

The rest of the people rested for a while, and then went boating. There were three boats in total, neither too big nor too small, which was enough for them.

Mei Yuxi and Fan Ruoruo were in one boat, Wang Qinian and his wife were in one boat, and Mei Chengan and Fan Sizhe were in one boat.

Rowing alone was a bit too boring, so Mei Chengan suggested having a rowing competition. There were people on all three boats who liked the excitement, so Mei Chengan's proposal was quickly passed.

Especially the boy Versace, he was the loudest and most excited.

The most ridiculous thing was that no one in the three boats knew how to row. Some were standing still, some were turning, some were going backwards, and some were spinning in circles, making all kinds of fools of themselves and making everyone more and more anxious.

The most interesting thing is that it is useless to be anxious about rowing. The more anxious you are, the more problems you will encounter. A group of noobs fought each other for three rounds. The first two ended in failure. In the third round, Mei Chengan actually succeeded in stealing the advantage. He did make a slight turn, but he reached the finish line.

The excited Mei Cheng'an and Versace high-fived and cheered, laughing and mocking the people on the two boats, receiving countless complaints and contempt.

After successfully stealing the chicken, Mei Chengan refused to fight again in order to maintain his record. What if he failed later?

This made Versace feel quite regretful, he felt he could win again.

After that, they stopped rowing and just let the boat float on the lake. Everyone calmed down and savored the beautiful scenery of Akihabara Lake.

Ah, it was so beautiful, quiet, cozy, and comfortable that it made me want to sleep. As I thought about it, my eyelids gradually became heavy. …

Mei Cheng'an extended his arm over the side of the boat and gently brushed his fingers across the surface of the lake, feeling the coolness and smoothness of the water.

Water is a really strange thing. It looks ordinary, but it is inexplicably very attractive. When we were young, our favorite things to play were playing with water and fire. Just putting our hands in the water made us feel comfortable, and we could play with it for an entire afternoon just by stirring it.

As he was thinking, he couldn't help but stir the water with his fingers. After stirring for a while, he felt unsatisfied, so he simply put his fingers together, bent them, scooped up the water and splashed it on the sleepy Versace's face.

Versace was completely stunned. He opened his eyes in confusion and felt it for a while, then stared at Mei Chengan with wide eyes.

"You splashed me?"

Mei Chengan blinked.

"I do not have it."

Versace wiped his face.

"You didn't?"

Mei Chengan nodded solemnly.

"It's not me anyway."

Upon hearing this, Versace looked at the two boats nearby.

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

Mei Cheng'an kept glancing at Fan Ruoruo's boat.

"I do not know."

Versace got the hint and set his eyes on his sister's ship.

At this moment, Mei Yuxi and Fan Ruoruo were lying on the deck, one on each side, with their eyes closed to rest.

Versace looked at the distance between the two ships, which was only two meters, so it was very likely that it was done by his sister.

One last check before counterattacking.

"Are they really them?"

Mei Chengan nodded and spoke.

"I really do not know."

Versace returned a look that was received.

He quietly moved to the side of the boat, scooped up a handful of water with both hands and poured it towards Fan Ruoruo and the others.

The block of water hit Fan Ruoruo's face accurately, and her hair was washed by the water. Mei Yuxi was right next to her and was also splashed with a lot of water.

The two of them were woken up immediately. They sat up and looked at each other. Mei Yuxi even considerately tidied up Fan Ruoruo's wet hair.

When Mei Cheng'an saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then laughed louder and louder.

Fan Ruoruo and Mei Yuxi stared at him with their eyes wide open and their eyebrows raised.

Mei Chengan waved his hands quickly.

"No, it wasn't me. Versace splashed it."

They both looked at Versace again.

Fan Ruoruo's voice was as cold as frost.

"You splashed me?"

Versace raised his head directly.

"You are allowed to splash the water, but I am not allowed to splash you? You splashed the water first, so I am right in front of Dad."

Fan Ruoruo glared at Versace fiercely, with anger and grievance in her voice.

"Who splashed you?"

Versace's neck stiffened.

"You're still trying to lie to me. I saw it all."

Fan Ruoruo was shaking with anger.

"you!!!"

As Fan Ruoruo's good sister, Mei Yuxi couldn't bear to see her sister being bullied, so she went straight to the side of the boat, scooped up some water and splashed it at Fansace.

"Ruoruo, don't waste your time talking to him. Your brother is just looking for trouble on purpose."

Versace didn't have time to dodge and was splashed in the face again. No more nonsense, let's start the fight. Am I afraid of two people?
With Versace's counterattack, the war between the two sides officially began.

Versace was slightly at a disadvantage in the one vs two situation and was soon soaked like a drowned rat.

Mei Cheng'an was watching from the side and laughing so hard that his stomach started to hurt.

"Oh, I can't do it anymore..."

Before he could finish his words, a handful of water was poured on his face.

Mei Cheng'an was stunned and looked at Mei Yuxi, the culprit.

"Why are you throwing it at me? What does it have to do with me?"

Mei Yuxi's words are concise and to the point.

"Make you laugh!"
