After a while, both Ye Qian and Yuan Meng walked out of the kitchen while holding the big bowls of hot rice and soup in their hands.
Entering the dining room, Yu Lan and her friends were once again amazed by the amount of food that lay on the table.
But they were not shocked since they had seen what had happened the last time they thought of something like this.
"See Aunt Lin, these fishes were caught by Qiqi, Big Sister and Xiao Ya."
With her chest puffed up in pride, Little Qiqi said while pointing at the plate which was filled with many fried fish pieces.
"Wow, those are some really big heads."
Lin and Yanran were a bit dazed to see the heads that were floating in the soup which was placed right at the centre of the table.
Any of the fish heads were about the size of Xiao Ya's palm, so they were a bit shocked to imagine what would be the size of the fish's body if just the heads were this big.
And to say the least, Lin or anyone among them had never caught a fish before, so they didn't know what it was like.
Of course, that was not the same for Yu Lan, Grandma Yan and Grandpa Xiao.
The three people could be said to be shocked in the least.
Yu Lan had lived for quite a while in the town where Ye Qian's family was present, so in her younger age, she had gone to fishing along with her Big Brother Qian several times by the small lake near the village next to them.
But every time they went and tried to catch a fish for all day, they would only get a fish or two, which would be the size of their palms and that would also be considered as very great.
But right now the fishes that the little girls had caught were right in front of her, and the comparison against the ones that she would catch along with her Big Brother Qian was just too much, the difference in between the two can only be said to be heaven and earth.
In fact, it would not be wrong to say that there was no comparison at all.
Even Grandma Yan and Grandpa Xiao could be seen as shocked.
They had seen the box that Ye Qian brought along with him but thought that since he was carrying it with such ease then it would not be heavy, but seeing the numerous dishes which were obviously made from fish meat were right in front of them, the two of them could not help but take another look at the three little girls and their beloved PAPA.
They had heard the scoreboard from the little girls, but then, they didn't know if they should believe it or not.
The smallest girl, Xiao Ya was said to have caught 3 of such big fishes.
And that too with her bare hands.
They just didn't know whether to laugh or cry right now.
"Well, to tell you Qiqi, I have never caught fish, but these fish are surely big."
"And you three caught them with just your hands, just that alone is a miracle and you could be said the best fishermen in this age."
Lin and Yanran said.
"No no, we are not fishermen."
Hearing the words of compliments, Xiao Ya who was in Grandma Yan's arms shook her head.
"Aunt Lin is wrong, we are not fishermen, we...we are fisher girls."
The little girl's words caused the room to burst into laughter.
"Ahh, yes yes, Xiao Ya is right, you are not fishermen, but FISHERGIRLS."
Yanran nodded with a giggle.
"Huh, did I say something wrong, Grandma?"
Seeing that everyone was laughing at her words, Xiao Ya asked in confusion.
"No not at all, in fact, Xiao Ya's words can't be any more true."
"Alright, let's eat quickly, that is also why I fried the fish just now."
Ye Qian said while asking everyone to sit.
As usual, the three girls sat next to Ye Qian while Xiao Ya sat on his lap as he fed them.
The little girls were delighted to eat the fish that they had caught with their own help.
"Papa, they don't taste like the fish we ate in the restaurant right?"
Little Jia asked as she pondered.
"Umm hmm, that is because they were caught from the lake, and not from the seas."
Ye Qian nodded as he broke the fish fillet and took a small porting of it in his fingers and fed it to Little Jia.
"Hmm."
Meanwhile, all this long, Yuan Meng had her eyes unfocused as she only tossed the food in her place around.
'What did Sister Wei mean by we need to hide certain things for the good of our children? It felt as if she was also talking this to herself. Could she be hiding something from Jia?'
These were the questions that came to Yuan Meng's mind as she remembered the words that Ning Wie had said to her not long ago.
Meanwhile, besides her, Ning Wei also had a serious look on her face as she ate the food.
She was not able to enjoy the tasty dinner which she felt was much more better just a while ago.
'Could there be really something serious, Qian looked really worried, could that thing be really after Sister Meng?'
That day, she had heard a few words from Ye Qian and understood that whatever the creature was, even if it stayed for long then it would cause some harm to the people around, and from what she had heard from Ye Qian's words just before, Ning Wei had a faint idea that the creature was after Yuan Meng.
She took a glance at Yuan Meng only to see her moving her spoon into the plate with her lips pursed.
'Sister Meng is also worried maybe, it's something really troublesome.'
Ning Wei sighed and continued to eat.
