Chapter 3126 Essay Competition

"Grandma!! She caught a big fish!! Haha~"

As soon as they entered the yard, Xiaobai shouted impatiently, but no one was in the living room; everyone was busy in the kitchen.

Xiao Bai carried the fish to the kitchen, followed closely by Dunzi, whose parents were also there.

"Where did the fish come from?" Tan Jin'er asked.

Xiao Bai chuckled and said he caught it in Guagua's fishpond.

"Guagua's dad gave me one and Dunzi one, both of them are very big."

Dunzi followed us in carrying a large carp. "Guagua's dad wanted to give us several, but we didn't take that many. One is enough; we can't even finish them all."

"Quickly put it in the pond, it should still survive."

Teacher Jiang noticed that the two large fish were still opening and closing their mouths, and seemed to still be alive, so she quickly filled the pond with water.

Xiaobai and Dunzi put the two big fish in and stood aside to watch.

"Is he already dead?" Robin also came over.

Xi'er pointed at the big bream and said, "It's still moving, its mouth is opening and closing. Come on, come on, big fish!"

Robin followed suit, cheering on the two big fish.

"The big carp didn't die either."

Xiao Bai also saw that after the big carp floated for a while, it began to swim slightly, so it should be able to survive.

But the big bream was still belly up, and if it weren't for the slight twitching of its fins, Xiaobai would have thought it was gone.

"Go, little auntie's big fish too~~" Robin cheered on the bream that was still fighting for its life. Seeing that the bream looked weak and about to die, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the fish's head, and started giving it artificial respiration.

"Oh my goodness~~"

Everyone was startled.

"Robin, what are you doing?!"

Robin laughed heartily, panting as he blew on the giant bream, "I'm sure I can save the giant bream!"

Xi'er laughed out loud, amused by Robin's innocence.

Xiao Bai caught his little niece and put the big bream back into the pond.

Perhaps Robin's inner energy took effect, for the giant bream twitched its fins twice in the water, then suddenly flicked its tail, flipped itself over, and began to swim.

Robin was overjoyed, feeling incredibly proud of himself for saving the giant bream's life!

Teacher Jiang came over and took a look, then told them to keep the fish here and cook the dishes tomorrow.

What did we cook?

Xiao Bai then smelled the enticing aroma coming from the kitchen.

"Is this a pheasant?" she asked, pointing to the vegetables being stir-fried in the stove.

"This is stir-fried wild pheasant," said Dunzi's mother, who was the chef who prepared this dish.

"It smells so good! Add more chili peppers!" Xiao Bai sniffed excitedly; the wild pheasant smelled even better than the domestic chicken.

"We've already added a lot of chili peppers; it can't be too spicy," said Dunzi's mother.

Xiao Bai got excited: "I need to tell you about this, Dunzi's mom..."

But she didn't say much before Zhang Tan chased her away, and now she's here spreading rumors and adding chili peppers.

"Hmph! We finally caught this big pheasant, so of course we have to make it taste good."

Zhang Tan said, "Instead of wasting your time, you should hurry up and think about how to write an essay about the sunrise. It's due tonight, and your grandma will be grading it."

"!!"

Xiao Bai was startled; she had completely forgotten about this incident.

Dinner was plentiful, including stir-fried wild pheasant and many hometown dishes, which are hard to find in the market and even if you could, they wouldn't taste the same as home.

A group of people sat around the stove. Robin refused to go home and insisted on staying to taste the wild pheasant. She didn't care at all when her grandparents called her home.

"Xi'er, have a bite first." Xiaobai picked up a piece of wild pheasant and gave it to Xi'er.

Xi'er thought about it for a long time before taking a bite, making a smacking sound.

"How does it taste?" Xiaobai asked.

"Dunzi's mother is a really good cook." Although Xi'er didn't want to eat wild pheasant, she couldn't deny that it tasted really good.

Xiao Bai immediately put a few more pieces on her plate, saying, "Eat more, eat more. Look how thin you are, I can't bear to look at you like that. You're almost as heavy as Robin."

Robin was delighted to hear this and even wanted to roll up her sleeves to show everyone her muscles.

The wild pheasant tasted so good that we finished the whole big bowl without leaving a single piece.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, everyone went to the courtyard to set off fireworks. The night sky was so dark that there were no stars or moon in sight, and the darkness was perfect for setting off fireworks.

Zhang Tan brought out a whole box of fireworks he had bought, placed them in the yard, and lit them. A little while later, Bai Guagua called.

The little frog excitedly told me on the phone that he saw them setting off fireworks, and that the fireworks were really beautiful. He asked if they were going to set them off again tomorrow, and that he would come over to watch them together.

Perhaps due to the clustering effect, fireworks were being set off here, and also in Baijia Village, though on a much smaller scale, so small that they might not be noticed unless you looked closely.

After the fireworks were set off, everyone went back inside; it was really cold outside.

"Alright, you three go and write your compositions." Zhang Tan still remembered this. "After you're done, read them to us one by one. The one who writes the best composition will get a reward."

"What kind of reward?" Xiaobai asked, as if she were the one who would get the best one.

But Zhang Tan didn't dampen her enthusiasm, saying, "Don't we still have five boxes of fireworks at home? I'll give you one as a reward."

Upon hearing this, Robin instantly became energized, raising his little hand high: "I, I, I'm sure I'll get first place!"

Her aunt glanced at her sideways, wondering where her confidence came from. Did she think she could win a competition with her aunt involved? A kindergarten kid trying to beat two top elementary school students.

Zhang Tan had even prepared the notebooks and pens for them to write their essays, but Xiao Bai didn't see when the old man went to buy them.

Seeing Xiaobai's puzzled expression, Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I bought a whole box of notebooks and pens, enough for you to use during the winter vacation."

Xiao Bai was speechless. Suddenly, he saw Dunzi and said, "Old man, give Dunzi a copy. He wants to write one too. He also went to see the sunrise."

Robin was somewhat dissatisfied, as each additional person meant one more competitor, making it more difficult for her to win the award.

Xi'er comforted her, saying, "Just do your best and don't worry about others."

Robin seemed to have drunk a can of chicken soup, her eyes were firm, and she no longer took Dunzi seriously.

"Good~"

Dunzi was full of confidence and very enthusiastic. He received a notebook and a pen and was very involved.

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly, seeing in Dunzi a person who had not yet been tortured by reality.

The television was on, and Teacher Jiang, Tan Jin'er, and Dunzi's family were all watching. The four children were writing their compositions diligently.

Suddenly, Robin, biting his pen, said, "I... I can't quite remember what it's like to watch the sunrise."

Xiao Bai scolded, "You've already forgotten in less than a day? What are you trying to remember all day?"

Robin lowered his head upon hearing this.

Xi'er encouraged her, saying, "Don't be discouraged. The sun is rising on the horizon. You even said it looked like an egg yolk. Think about it carefully."

Robin racked his brains and came up with some ideas.

Dunzi also gave her inspiration: "You even went to pee back then."

Robin: "..."

However, this also brought back more memories of what happened back then.

She looked at her aunt, hoping that her aunt could also provide her with some inspiration.

Her aunt could only say, "You said back then that the sun would go to take shelter from the rain on rainy days."

Robin's eyes lit up, as if his thoughts were flowing freely. He quickly began to write, without pausing, seemingly intending to finish it in one go.

Seeing this, the others also quickly began writing their own compositions.

"I've finished writing!"

Unsurprisingly, the first one to finish writing was indeed the "Happy Baby" character.

Xiao Bai and the others, who were racking their brains for ideas, couldn't help but look up, their expressions somewhat anxious.

Robin looked serious and wrote as quickly as possible, making the most of every second.

"Give it to me when you're done, I'll take a look first," Zhang Tan said, taking Xi'er's homework. Putting aside the content, Xi'er's handwriting was excellent, pleasing to the eye, delicate and easy to read.

Zhang Tan quickly glanced at it, hummed in satisfaction, and handed the workbook to Teacher Jiang. Teacher Jiang was the one who graded it, not him, to avoid being accused of unfairness by the other children.

After Xi'er handed in her essay, Xiaobai was the second to hand it in, followed by Robin, and finally Dunzi.

Robin looked at Dunzi with some pride, believing that he had defeated Dunzi.

But Dunzi being the last one was not surprising, because Dunzi is by nature a slow and methodical person who does things in no hurry and has his own sense of rhythm.
