Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Chapter 81 Chapter

Hachiman began to assign people, saying, "I will be responsible for collecting resources on the island to build a temporary shelter. No one on this boat knows how to do carpentry except me, so there is no second choice. Then Rumi will be responsible for sea fishing and collecting seafood such as clams, shrimps and crabs on the beach. I will introduce you to them later. If you encounter unfamiliar creatures, don't catch them. They may be poisonous. Then it's Shinjo Akane, Kyoka and Rikka. The three of you should work harder and use your hand axes to chop a path to the small waterfall."

Xin Tiao Qian had a few more question marks in her head and said, "Why? How do you think my small arms and legs make me look like someone who can work hard?"

However, the only one who protested was Akane Shinjo. Jinghua was used to doing physical work so it didn't matter to her, and Rikka was always more obedient in this regard.

Hachiman poked her head gently and said, "That's why you need to exercise. If you don't like to exercise and your physical fitness is not very good, you will suffer from many diseases in the future."

"I don't plan to live past thirty." Xin Tiao Qian curled her lips.

"You're talking nonsense, spit on me again," Hachiman glared at her and spoke nonsense.

Akane Shinjo stuck out her tongue and regretted what she said, but with her reckless personality she would definitely not apologize.

But after thinking about it, he said, "Why doesn't this woman have any mission? This is not fair!"

Akane Shinjo was pointing at Minamoto no Raikou who was drinking tea. She should be the one who is most suitable for the heaviest task.

Then, with another knife strike, Hachiman lectured, "Since when have pregnant women been asked to do heavy labor? Do you have any common sense?"

Although it would be most efficient to ask Lord Raiko to come and help, this is a matter of principle.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for today. Don't complain. In this difficult situation, we need to unite and help each other to build a better home. If you are dissatisfied, we can adjust tomorrow. Okay, after breakfast, we will disband and start working."

After saying that, Hachiman started to go to the warehouse on the lower floor to get fishing rods for sea fishing, as well as sharp weapons such as hatchets and knives.

When he came up, Minamoto no Raikou took the initiative to say, "You really don't need my help? Apart from anything else, I can still lend a hand."

Hachiman whispered softly in her ear: "Let them suffer for a while. I really don't want you to do this. If you get bored, just go fishing with Rumi. It's not a stressful job."

Minamoto no Raikou chuckled: "Don't let that well-developed little girl hear this, or she will rebel."

"So I'm only telling you this." Hachiman said unscrupulously.

They are indeed a capitalist couple.

Hachiman walked over and yelled, "Okay, stop lying on the table, come and get the tools. Those of you in the logging team, remember to wear rubber gloves, because who knows what kind of bugs, cockroaches, centipedes, etc. will crawl out."

Then I heard Akane Shinjo wailing. I knew at a glance that this guy was the type of colleague who would slack off the most and talk too much at work in the future.

Ah, you said this guy won't work anymore? It's okay.

..............................

The uninhabited island was invaded by terrifying upright apes, who began to transform the terrain on a large scale. Hachiman had no time to take care of his own work and had to help Rumi-chan identify edible creatures on the beach.

"These are clams, the most common shellfish on the beach. Rikka has prepared a plate of them. I plan to stir-fry them with chili peppers and ginger tonight. It will be a delicious dish." Hachiman said.

Liu Mei couldn't help but laugh: "What a delicious dish! You've made me less nervous. We are drifting on an uninhabited island now."

Hachiman smiled and patted his head, saying, "You have such a bad habit. You should learn from Akane Shinjo what it means to be heartless. See if she is nervous."

Liu Mei avoided him with some dissatisfaction and said, "It's because of you that Xiao Qian looks so carefree, and so do everyone else."

"Then you are not, or you don't trust me to take you back?" Hachiman asked.

Liu Mei shook her head and said, "Although I believe it, I don't want to sit aside and wait for you to take it back. I want to be the one who can help you."

Hachiman was a little moved when he heard this, and he touched his head: "You are worthy of being your father's good daughter."

Then Rumi got angry. After a long while, Hachiman continued to introduce: "Well, I didn't expect to find geoducks. This is a good thing."

Liu Mei was a little curious: "But this thing is so ugly, and it looks like..."

Hachiman teased her a little and said, "Like what?"

You say it, you say it...

Rumi started to blush again, and she didn't even dare to touch the geoduck, which made Hachiman laugh. He then found her a slightly higher spot on the rock layer and said, "You can pick some of the kelp attached to the rock surface below when you have time. Come, I'll teach you how to use the bait and fishing rod."

Hachiman didn't actually expect Rumi to catch anything, but it was just another way to find food.

On the other side of the logging team, Akane Shinjo, who was wearing rubber gloves and rubber boots and holding a hand axe, looked like a lumberjack. She chopped the tree trunk in front of her, which was about 30 cm thick, with the axe without holding back any strength. If you didn't know, you would think she was chopping at Hachiman's head.

"You stinky uncle, you bad uncle, you only know how to ask others to do the rotten and bad things. One of them said pregnant women can't work, and the other asked her to go fishing. Why don't you let me go fishing? I'm good at fishing, you bad guy."

Liuhua couldn't help laughing beside him: "You can really work hard while cursing, aren't you tired?"

Xin Tiao Qian panted and said, "That's the opposite. If I hadn't cursed that guy, how could I have continued to do it? I'm so tired."

Liuhua couldn't help but twitch her lips. What kind of Don Quixote spirit is this?

Xin Tiao Qian put down her hand axe, took a bottle of water and started drinking. For someone like her who doesn't exercise regularly, she sweats a lot and needs to drink a lot of water.

At some point, a shadowy figure came over and said, "You are wasting so much water by doing this. Regardless of how much water you can take from the pond in the future, the bottled water we drink now is a very precious disposable resource. This is both inefficient and wasteful." Minamoto no Raikou came over and said softly.

Little Sissi was furious. She was already unhappy, and now you are still here pointing fingers. You really think you are the supervisor... No, you are the slave owner, and these poor beautiful girls are the slaves who have their surplus value squeezed out of them.

Coincidentally, there was a silly black man (referring to Jinghua) next to him.

"Just stand there and don't shake your head. We are already working hard to cut down trees. Who are you to point fingers at us?"

Shinjo Akane raised her head and said, Minamoto no Raikou glanced at this unruly guy, then picked up the hatchet.

Girl, you are courting death!

Chapter 82 Chapter

Minamoto no Yorimitsu glanced at the unruly girl, then picked up the hatchet and said, "Look, this is how you should use the hatchet."

He held the axe handle with both hands. Although the axe was very light, he felt as if he was spun by the heavy axe and smashed heavily against the tree trunk.

With the speed that Xin Tiao Qian used just now, which was like an ant gnawing at a tree, the tree trunk was broken directly with just one axe. If it was hit on a person, wouldn't the whole person be split in half neatly?

Oh my god, this is not a good idea to cut, my friend.

Xin Tiao Qian, who always knew how to avoid danger and seek good fortune, immediately became timid and quickly took a few steps back. She no longer had that reckless and confrontational attitude on her face.

She is just a coward. She was extremely arrogant when Hachiman was around, but now if she is compared with Minamoto no Raikou, Hachiman will definitely not support her. She has self-knowledge, so she becomes a coward.

Minamoto no Raikou did not expose her little trick, but demonstrated again to the three girls: "Pay attention to my movements, don't use your arms to exert force throughout the whole process, otherwise you won't be able to lift your arms tomorrow. It is your waist that should be used for force. You should twist your waist to rotate and drive your body forward, and the arm muscles should only be used when you chop down..."

After saying that, he stretched his legs and exerted force, and swung the axe down again. Jinghua, who was originally from the track and field department, seemed to have realized something.

Shinjo Akane nodded quickly: "I understand, Miss Minamoto Raikou. I will try my best, Miss Minamoto Raikou."

She was afraid that if she didn't do it, this woman would come and chop her on the head. Even if it was the back of an axe, it would hurt a lot.

Minamoto no Raikou ignored Akane Shinjo's antics and handed her the hatchet, saying, "I'll give you a goal. Today, each of you three will chop down five trees."

Her Royal Highness the Princess somehow really became the supervisor. Of course, if she had cut the wood herself, she would probably have reached the small waterfall in an afternoon.

But...it is better to use it to establish a clear sense of majesty, otherwise those little girls are too young, and youth is the greatest aphrodisiac.

"Wow, I'm so miserable." Xin Tiao Qian said with a sad face. She didn't dare to stop her hand movements for fear that she would be scolded by that bad woman.

Hachiman dragged over a handful of coconut leaves. He didn't plan to build a shelter today, but just collect the materials first. It just so happened that the trees cut down by Akane Shinjo and the others could be used.

He stood beside Minamoto no Raikou, a little surprised: "Xiao Qian actually worked hard? I thought she would definitely be lazy."

But Minamoto no Raikou said calmly: "She won't dare to be lazy while I am here."

Hachiman looked at the way she inadvertently exuded a domineering aura, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"Let them take a break when appropriate, so they don't mess up and cause more trouble." Hachiman said.

Minamoto no Raikou glanced at him and said with a smile, "How is it, are you feeling sad?"

"I feel so sorry for you. Your palms and backs are made of flesh."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the thing that rippled naturally when Shinjo Akane swung the axe and said, "That little girl will definitely become a big girl in the future."

Then, he pointed to the box of purified water beside him and said, "I have stipulated to them that they should rest for 15 minutes after working for one hour to replenish water. I have finished singing the black face, and it is your turn to sing the red face, Mr. Farmer."

Hachiman felt embarrassed: "Go away, stop making nonsense analogies."

However, he still went over with a box of water to offer his condolences, saying, "Okay, everyone take a break and drink some water, as we are all suffering from heat stroke."

After hearing this, Akane Shinjo put down the axe in her hand and immediately ran over to take out a bottle of water. Although Rika and Kyoka were not so exaggerated, they also drank most of the bottle of water in one breath.

After a careful look, Hachiman said, "I was wondering why it became dark in such a short time. Ah, but Jinghua hasn't changed much. It was dark to begin with so you can't tell."

Jinghua rolled his eyes: "Brother-in-law, you are so annoying."

Liuhua looked at her hands and saw that there was indeed a light black layer left on them, but she didn't feel too sad. That's just the good thing about young girls.

As a result, Shinjo Akane raised her hand and said to Hachiman, "Uncle, look at my hands, they are covered with blisters."

Hachiman also saw that the originally delicate and fair little hands were now so damaged that they began to form one or two small blisters.

"I'm in this state now, can we go on the yacht and rest for a while?" Akane Shinjo blinked her big eyes, and at the same time, out of sight of the other two girls, she took Hachiman's hand and placed it on the soft flesh of her waist.

Oh, this is very much like a farmer, and she's not a black girl. Hachiman was reluctant to let go of his hands from Akane's waist.

I was thinking about whether I should ask for favor or something, and it seemed like I had forgotten what I said in the morning.

"Hachiman-kun, aren't you going to cook dinner? Everyone has worked hard today, don't you want to make it more carefully and reward everyone?" Minamoto no Raikou said softly not far behind him.

So Hachiman's hand could only retract, shaking, as if to say, you're on your own.

Eh, it seems he is a henpecked farmer. The one holding the whip should be the mistress of the farm.

"Wow, my life is so miserable." Xin Tiao Qian had a sad face and picked up the axe again.

Perhaps it was the setting sun and the jagged waves that gave the entire beach an air of silence.

After finally getting through a day of hard work, the three girls in the logging group were almost exhausted. It seemed as if they had never experienced such labor since they were born. Now they were covered in stinky sweat and still wanted to call themselves beautiful girls. Even dogs would walk away in disgust when they smelled them.

So after they rested for a while, they hurriedly crossed the small waterfall and washed their bodies by the pool, because the water resources on the yacht were very precious. Although there was a bathroom on the yacht, it was naturally prohibited to use it in the current situation. If there was no clear spring, these beautiful girls couldn't imagine what would happen to them.

Although the process of coming to the small waterfall was a bit uncomfortable, fortunately they did not achieve nothing today. After all, the distance to the dense forest here is now one third shorter. It is estimated that in two days, the road will be connected to here.

But this also means that they need to continue cutting wood for two more days like they did today.

After washing their bodies reluctantly, the three of them returned to the beach feeling refreshed.

Liuhua said: "I said, although I am very tired today, do you feel relaxed?"

Jinghua nodded: "Isn't this the same feeling I had when I was doing intensive training in the track and field team? After a whole day of training, although I was very tired, it felt like this body was my own."

Xin Tiao Qian suddenly said: "Do you smell a very fragrant smell?"

Chapter 83 Chapter

"Do you smell a nice fragrance?"

Xin Tiao Qian suddenly said, and the three girls soon smelled a faint coconut fragrance, and then their stomachs began to rumble, gurgling, and saliva was continuously secreted. After all, their bodies had never experienced such high-intensity work, and their body energy was consumed too much.

They began to run towards the beach happily, and then found that a square dining table had been placed on the beach at some point, covered with a red and white tablecloth, and filled with delicious food.

Hachiman clapped his hands gently and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start dinner."

Xin Tiao Qian said immediately: "Uncle, I am touched. I thought there was only rye bread and expired milk mixed with water tonight."

"Where did this unscrupulous slave owner come from? You get what you sow. Since you have worked hard today, you will naturally be rewarded."

The three of them didn't say much, and sat down at the dining table. There were six of them in total. Minamoto no Raikou chuckled and said, "Okay, everyone pick up your chopsticks."

The logging crew, who were almost starving, started to eat, but Minamoto no Raikou and Rumi didn't eat as much as they should.

"How does this dish of mixed fish and soy sauce taste? I cooked it according to Chinese taste." said Hachiman.

"It tastes delicious, could this be..." asked Rikka.

"Yes, these are all what Liumei-chan caught today. There are yellow croaker, hairtail, sardines, and fresh cuttlefish. After a little processing, they are put into the pan and cooked with soy sauce, salt, sugar, and a little pepper. It will be delicious." Hachiman said with a smile.

"But it's quite fun. I don't know if it's because no one has ever fished around here, but they are all stupid and will take the bait as soon as you lure them with a little bait." Liu Mei said with a smile, but her cheeks had a healthy light wheat color. It seems that she cannot avoid sun damage after all.

Happo continued, "This plate of fried clams was collected by Liuhua this morning. After spitting out the sand, it tastes pretty good."

After they wolfed down the food for a while, their hunger slowly subsided, and they listened to Hachiman proudly introducing the dishes.

"The only thing that was consumed the most was this pot of coconut chicken. A whole chicken was put into the freezer. Apart from the loss of oil smoke and natural gas, today's meal was basically made with local ingredients. Everyone is amazing."

The four girls who were being performed were all a little proud. Minamoto no Raikou, who was drinking coconut chicken soup, whispered in Hachiman's ear: "Look, we are like a couple taking their four daughters to camp in the wild to let them experience life."

Hachiman smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter."

Unfortunately, these "daughters" always want their mothers to be loving and their daughters to be filial. Thinking of this, Minamoto no Raikou wanted to curl his lips.

"But, is there a lack of vegetables? I also learned about nutritional matching when I was on the track and field team." Jinghua asked.
