Chapter 1138 I’m stupid!

At this dinner, the Qiao family ate seafood that they had caught themselves for the first time, and they all found it particularly delicious.

Especially the children, who proudly introduced which fish they had caught. Their excited chirping echoed on the sea level, bringing a lot of vitality to the silent sea.

The enthusiasm for fishing lasted for a few days, and then the little guys lost interest.

As the waves grew bigger and the boat became more bumpy, some people started to feel seasick from the second day.

Fortunately, Qiao Ran had prepared some seasickness medicine, and she felt much better after taking it.

But sea voyages are long and boring after all. Many adults cannot stand the boring life of drifting on the sea for a long time, let alone lively and active children who like to run and play all over the mountains and fields.

Gradually, Qiao Ran found that the atmosphere on the boat was becoming more and more depressing.

The adults chatted and fished idly, counting on their fingers how many days it would take to reach their destination.

The children stared listlessly at the vast ocean, reminiscing about the fun days when they went up the mountain in the Fairy Valley to pick wild fruits and game, fished in the drains and ponds and picked up snails, and went into the city from time to time to go shopping, buy delicious food and fun things, watch acrobatics, and listen to storytelling.

I even miss Master Sun who slapped his palms, and the days when I sat in the school studying and practicing calligraphy, which I used to think were boring but now I feel extremely happy.

Compared to being able to walk around on land, staying confined to the small space of a boat at sea is really, really, really, really hard to endure!

"Sister, when can we get to that Agate Island? I feel like I'm dying of talking!"

Qiao Yue snuggled in Qiao Ran's arms like a sleepy puppy, mumbling weakly.

Qiao Xing, who was sitting on the deck mechanically fiddling with building blocks, forced himself to cheer up and looked up at his sister:

"It's about being bored, not just chatting! I told you to pay attention in class, but you just wouldn't listen. You even got such a simple word wrong. Don't cry when Master Sun checks your homework!"

Qiao Yue pouted, but she didn't even have the strength to refute.

Qiao Ran chuckled:

"Xiaoyue, are you bored? Then I'll teach you how to play chess!"

When they heard about playing chess, Qiao Nan, Qiao Xi and other dazed children became more alert.

Qiao Yue was a little hesitant:

"But I can never play chess as well as my brothers. I'm not smart enough!"

As he said this, he hit his head twice with his little fist, feeling annoyed that he was not as smart as his brothers.

Qiao Ran said:

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, it's not chess or Go. I'll teach you how to play Gobang. It's very simple, Xiaoyue, you can definitely win!"

When Qiao Yue heard that she could beat several brothers, she became excited and jumped out of Qiao Ran's arms:

"Really? Sister, please teach me! I want to beat my brother! He always laughs at me for being stupid!"

Qiao Xing was wronged:

"How could I laugh at you for being stupid? I was just reminding you to study hard. It's you who keeps calling yourself stupid. I didn't say that!"

"But I'm just stupid and that's why I can't study well! Otherwise, why are your grades better than mine? You must have taken my food away when you were in my mother's womb, and I didn't have enough to eat, so I'm stupid."

"I didn't!"

The two little guys were bickering, and Qiao Ran found it interesting:

"Xiaoyue, did you come up with this idea yourself or did you hear it from somewhere?"

Qiao Yue raised her head, a little proudly:

"Yue'er figured it out herself! Mother always says that if you don't eat well, you won't grow tall or be smart. But I'm eating well now, and I'm still not smart. That must be because when I was in mother's belly, I couldn't grab my brother's hand, so I'm not as smart as him, nor can I run as fast as him, so he became my brother!"

Qiao Ran burst out laughing.

This little guy has a rich imagination and is surprisingly logical.
