Zhang Yueyan, Fang Siyu, and Lin Haoxuan were playing with sand on the beach.

There are limited entertainment options on the island. They have been playing hopscotch and beach backgammon for several days, and they have started playing house building these two days.

Sui Sui didn't like this kind of childish play before, but there are also sand castles he half built in the afternoon on the beach.

He wanted to build a castle with walls, gardens, spires, attics, and terraces.

I just ran home to participate in the final installation of the new bed, and haven't had time to finish it.

"Teacher Zhang."

Xu Jianian and Lin He came to the beach with Sui Sui and greeted Zhang Jingchuan who was playing with his daughter in the sand.

Lin He said to Zhang Jingchuan: "We want to borrow a bamboo raft and go to the houseboat to see the pots for catching octopus."

Zhang Jingchuan got up immediately: "I'll go with you, I'm quite curious."

Fang Siyu jumped up immediately: "I want to go too."

Lin Haoxuan: "And me!"

Zhang Yueyan also took Zhang Jingchuan's hand, expressing her desire to go.

The adults Xu Jianian brought the children's life jackets and put them on.

It was the first time Zhang's bamboo raft took so many people, and the draft was very serious, but it still arrived at the boat house smoothly.

Lin He lifted up the jars along the rope tied to the base of the boat house. There were quite a few twelve small jars, and there were more or less seawater and sand in them, which were heavy.

He took a pot and poured out the water, scooped up sea water a few times to wash away the sand and sand, and when he looked inside, the corners of his lips curled up, and he handed the pot to Xu Jianian, "I got it."

Xu Jianian was pleasantly surprised: "Let me see!"

I saw an octopus hidden at the bottom of the jar, and the suction cup was firmly stuck to the inside of the jar.

"It really is!" He handed the jar to Suisui.

The heads of the four children came together, "Wow!"

Zhang Jingchuan stood behind and took a look, "Did you really catch it? What's the reason for this?"

Lin He said: "Octopus has phototaxis, and lighting up the houseboat at night will attract them. They are also molluscs, and they like to burrow into rock crevices, empty shells and bottles to find shelter, so it is very likely that they will be under the houseboat.Find a place to live."

Bullet screen: "666 Mr. Lin handles the octopus to death!"

"Then there should be some in these bamboo tubes, right?" Xu Jianian looked forward to picking up a bamboo tube to empty out the sand, and sure enough, he saw an octopus again.

"There is this too!"

When the children heard this, they also picked up the jars to rinse off the sand, Sui Sui: "I have this too!"

"Why don't I have this?" Lin Haoxuan asked in frustration.

"I have it here, hehe." Fang Siyu smirked.

Zhang Yueyan: "Mine is so big, its whiskers are so long."

Zhang Jingchuan: "I have one here too, and it's quite fat."

Everyone cleaned up the jars and found that a total of nine octopuses had been harvested, all of which were pulled out and poured into the bucket brought by Lin He.

"It's quite a lot." Xu Jianian said, "Let's have grilled octopus tonight."

"Yeah." Lin He re-tightened the rope binding the jar and bamboo tube, and put it back into the sea.

Zhang Jingchuan rowed the bamboo raft to bring everyone back to the shore, "This method is quite useful, I will try it tonight."

Lin He thought for a while and said, "Actually, you can also wrap some bait on the rope at the mouth of the jar, such as shrimp and clam meat."

"It makes sense." Zhang Jingchuan said, "I'll make some at night, and I'll put some on your side as well."

Xu Jianian was regretting that they forgot to release it this time, and said to Zhang Jingchuan with a smile, "Then thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"polite."

This evening, Xu Jianian's family of three had dinner in spicy grilled fish clam stew with sea cucumber, grilled octopus with barbed wire and white porridge.

They slept in new beds for the night.

The brand-new bed frame exudes a woody fragrance, the electric fan slowly sends a cool breeze, and the wind chimes on the eaves outside the house dance and sing softly in the night wind, accompanying them to sleep.

The eighth day of Island Survival.

Xu Jianian's family of three got up early to catch the sea.

First came to the stream, and successfully harvested a small arm-long sea fish and a few kelp on the gillnet.

Then pass the wooden bridge to the other side of the creek, and go to water the saplings planted before.Xu Jianian and Sui Sui looked at the buds growing on the tree, smiling in surprise and relief.

Afterwards, they went to the east coast to search for seafood, cleaned up some newly landed garbage, and exchanged it with the program crew for the "Environmental Guard" allowance.

On the way back, Xu Jianian turned to the plantation of the program group, wanting to change some vegetables.The program team asked them to help water a ridge of vegetable fields and allowed them to pick three catties of vegetables.

Xu Jianian asked for a catty of water spinach, two tomatoes, and a cucumber, which was just over three catties.

"Do you have any eggs here?" he asked suddenly.

The staff smiled: "There are really, do you want to buy?"

The tip of Xu Jianian's tongue had already recalled the taste of tomato scrambled eggs and egg soup, and he said happily, "How do you sell it?"

Staff: "Two yuan each."

"It's so expensive." Xu Jianian gasped, "Don't think I don't go to the supermarket, there are ten eggs for nine yuan."

Staff: "We are authentic native eggs, native eggs produced by eating seafood and healthy grass."

Xu Jianian: "..."

He looked at the camera: "Audience friends, please contact the price bureau for help. How many percent above the market price can you complain about?"

Lin He reminded: "Thirty percent."

The staff member's face froze: "...It won't happen."

Barrage: "Hahahahaha@Price Bureau"

"Don't be afraid, my wife, I'm already on the phone."

"Let's put it mildly, some eggs in the supermarket are indeed quite expensive, and there are various varieties."

"One yuan and five ones are all right?" the staff said, "You also have to consider our cost, raising these chickens is very expensive."

Xu Jianian was persuaded and bought six eggs.

The family went back to make breakfast.

While walking, Xu Jianian planned the menu in his mind, then suddenly paused, and looked at Lin He angrily, "We don't have any oil."

In the past few days, they cook by stewing, boiling, and grilling. Salt and barbecue ingredients are good enough, and there is no oil, vinegar, soy sauce, or cooking wine.

"I still want fried eggs." Xu Jianian said regretfully.

Lin He immediately said: "There is still money in the account, I will go to the program team to buy it."

Xu Jianian rolled his eyes, "Just buy a small bottle, and you can make stir-fry in the future."

As he spoke, he paused again: "Should we change the frying pan?"

Considering that most of them are stewed and roasted, the two small pots are deep stewed pots, which are not suitable for cooking.

Lin He said without hesitation: "Buy."

Xu Jianian was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and asked him: "What should I do if I don't have enough money?"

Lin He said, "I'll go fishing later."

Sui Sui also said, "I'm going to catch sea cucumbers." He remembered that last time, sea cucumbers were more expensive than conch and clams, and more valuable.

Xu Jianian smiled: "Then let's find a way together."

He was glad that he didn't buy a small refrigerator back then, otherwise there would be nothing left in the account, and he didn't even think about oil or pots.

It's different now, they can enrich the cooking methods with a little effort, and the refrigerator is not necessary.

Fortunately, the money in their account was just enough to buy a bottle of oil and a small frying pan for two or three people.

Xu Jianian fried three poached eggs in a new pan, and boiled tomato and seafood noodles for breakfast.

The scent wafted out, making the other three groups of families envious.

Barrage: "Day! I'm hungry if I haven't eaten breakfast."

"I feel that this kind of life is also very good. There are no distracting thoughts, and most of the day is spent on preparing three meals a day."

"No, no, no! I'm too lazy to cook, takeaway saves my dog's life."

In the middle of the morning, the sun rose overhead, the sea breeze was like a heat wave, and the half-built castles on the beach were scorching hot.

The weather was not suitable for going outdoors, so Xu Jianian took out the painting tools he bought last time and asked Sui Sui if he wanted to paint with him.

Lin He helped them move the dining table to the eaves at the door, and moved the electric fan in the room to face them. He sat next to them, picked up the leftover wood from making the bed frame yesterday, and started to do handwork.

Xu Jianian gave Suisui the drawing paper and colored pencils, "What do you want to draw?"

Sui Sui took a painting class in kindergarten, "Draw our house."

Xu Jianian said: "Okay, I will also draw a picture, and exchange it later."

Sui Sui's eyes brightened: "Dad, will you give it to me after you draw it?"

Xu Jianian nodded: "Yes."

Lin He, who was chipping wood, paused slightly: "Cough."

Xu Jianian laughed, and winked at Suisui: "And your father, I'll draw a picture for him too."

Sui Sui looked at his father, but seeing that he didn't express anything, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Dad has already given him gifts, why doesn't his father know how to give them?

It seems that the father still does not have a father who will fall in love.It seems that even kissing, it is father who takes the initiative more.

My father is still too old-fashioned. The last time want to kiss him, have to ask. It's not romantic at all.

No, no, dad is so good, how can he do it if he doesn't work hard?

Lin He didn't know that his son was so worried about him, so he used the knife in his hand to cut the wood into a cone shape and slowly polished it.

Xu Jianian didn't know that Suisui's little mind was worrying so much, so he sketched the outline of the stone house on the paper with a pen or two.

Then there is the palm roof before the installation of solar power panels, the textured stone wall, the delicate palm bamboo door, the dining table in front of the door, and two figures, one big and one small, beside the table.

Barrage: "Damn it! My wife is indeed a professional, a few lines can outline the house and characters."

"It's so sloppy, I didn't see it clearly, how did I draw it?"

"He also painted light and shadow!"

"Art students worship the boss/Hands folded"

"Hey, you don't know about this, do you? My wife's biography is exhibited in the C seat of their college."

"6666's wife is awesome!"

"I'm sorry, I always thought my wife was a bushi, but I didn't expect him to be a great god!"

"Ah, ah, my wife has worked hard!"

"Am I the only one who cares about Mr. Lin making a spinning top?"

"???"

"Eating the child's jealousy while making toys for the child, this is probably the father."

"Is there a possibility that he made it for his wife and children to play with?"

"Hahahahaha"

While the audience was discussing, Lin He put down the already formed wooden top in his hand, got up and went back to the house to take out a small roll of rope that he had picked up when cleaning up the trash.

He estimated the length, cut the rope into three sections, took three short bamboo poles as thick as little fingers, wrapped the rope around them, and the "whip" for pulling the top was ready.

"Try." He handed the top and whip to Xu Jianian.

Xu Jianian's eyes lit up: "Spinning top? You made it?"

"Yeah." Lin He squatted beside him, "I'm just doing it for you guys."

Barrage: "I said he made it for his wife to play with!"

Sui Sui looked curiously at the persimmon-like thing, is this also a spinning top?

He has only seen the whirlwind top in cartoons, but never seen such a "simple" one, and he doesn't know how to play it.

Xu Jianian put down the half-painted painting, and took Sui Sui to the open space in front of the house to try out the spinning top.

It's a pity that he is not very good at it, and he can't spin it when he throws it out.

In the end, it was Lin He who took over and successfully turned the top, twitched it a few times to maintain the speed, and immediately gave way to Xu Jianian.

Sui Sui observed the movements of the two fathers and the spinning top, and immediately understood how it was played.

"Sui Sui." Xu Jianian called him, making way for him, "Pump it under."

Sui Sui raised the small whip his father gave him, and tried to whip it towards the top, whistling——

The spinning top that had slowed down started to spin rapidly.

Sui Sui's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Jianian: Turn it up!

Xu Jianian was so immersed in the joy of rediscovering the old childhood fun that he couldn't help himself, and forgot to praise him.

Lin He looked at them from the side, folded his arms and curled the corners of his lips.

The whistling sound of the spinning top attracted Fang Siyu who was next door, and he ran over, "What are you playing?"

When he shouted in a crisp voice, the children from the other two families also poked their heads out.

It is rare to have a fun new toy, even Lin Haoxuan, who is addicted to games, quickly put down the game console and joined Suisui and the others.

In the end, the adults also came, and they were amazed at Lin He's ingenuity, and they stepped forward to try it again.

Barrage: "Hahahaha large rejuvenation scene."

"How old are you, why are you still grabbing toys from your kids? /狗头"

"How did Mr. Lin's brain grow? Why can he always think of so many things that increase happiness?"

"The key is that he can still do it."

"First tools, then furniture, and now toys, won't he build a playground on the island in two days?"

"I don't think it's surprising that he develops a tribe."

A spinning top is obviously not enough for so many people to play with. As the owner of the toy, Xu Jianian generously let others play with it, and picked up a pen and paper to draw quickly.

Lin He probed to look, and found that what he drew was not the scene in front of him, but the appearance of the three of them playing with a spinning top just now.

It was the first time he saw Xu Jianian painting live, and he didn't know that his technique could be so fast.

The other party painted himself and Suisui on both sides, but put him in the center of the whole picture, and his appearance and expression were drawn most clearly and meticulously.

Lin He felt that the other party must have deliberately exaggerated his expression when he wrote the pen. He was just helping them start the spinning top just now, how could he smile so happily?

Barrage: "Mist Grass! Is my wife so fast?"

"I'm envious of art students with their real names! Not only is he fast, but he also draws well. His control is incredible!"

Xu Jianian used a few lines to outline the figures and smiling faces of himself and Sui Sui, focusing on drawing his family, Mr. Lin, quickly completed a sketch, and handed it to the other party.

"For you." He smiled, obviously satisfied with his painting.

The corners of Lin He's lips raised uncontrollably, "Thank you, I like it very much."

If he had a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would know that the smile on his face was the same as in the painting.

The enjoyable game made the time seem particularly short, and it was lunch time in the blink of an eye.

The children reluctantly watched Sui Sui put away the top and followed their parents home for dinner.

Just when Xu Jianian thought that the next island life would be so pleasant, in the afternoon, the program director suddenly called everyone together.

"Congratulations to everyone, the island survival challenge has passed halfway. Today we have arranged a few games for everyone to relax."

The guests were a little wary: "What game?"

The director smiled and said, "House-changing game."
