Chapter 261: Chapter 261: No Problem at All

Right now, their most pressing desire was for Hua Buwan to be the first to witness the fruits of their hard work.

As expected, Hua Buwan did not let them down. When her eyes first fell upon the two bamboo rafts, she couldn’t help but let out a gasp of amazement.

"Wow! Did you guys really make these two bamboo rafts with your own hands? How long did it take? This is simply fantastic!

"The bamboo on these rafts is such a vibrant emerald green. It looks absolutely beautiful floating on the sea—a true visual feast. And the oars are well-made too. Rowing with these will definitely be a breeze."

Hua Buwan’s face was filled with pleasant surprise as she carefully examined the two rafts. The more she looked, the more amazed she became. Whether in terms of craftsmanship or appearance, they were virtually indistinguishable from the ones built by the experienced old fishermen in the village. Even more impressively, it was obvious at a glance that the makers had poured their hearts and souls into the work. Every detail was handled flawlessly, achieving near absolute perfection.

Hearing her pleasant words was like a spring breeze brushing across their hearts. A honey-sweet warmth instantly surged within them.

Ling Qianjun simply offered a slight smile without saying a word, but the joy brimming in his eyes made it perfectly clear that he was in an exceptionally good mood.

Like Ling Qianjun, Xu Panqing wore a warm, gentle smile. She remained silent as well, affectionately looking at everyone before her gaze settled on the two bamboo rafts. This was her first time working on such a project, and receiving praise from others filled her to the brim with a deep sense of accomplishment.

However, unlike the calm and reserved Ling Qianjun, Ling Qianfan couldn’t contain his excitement. He raised his voice and called out to Hua Buwan.

"Sister Hua, we got up at the crack of dawn to build these! It took us nearly four hours of hard work!

"And my second brother and I worked tirelessly to sand down every single splinter on this bamboo! If you don’t believe me, reach out and feel it. I guarantee you won’t feel a single rough patch. It definitely won’t hurt your hands!

"Sister Wan, you can sit on it later and try it out with complete peace of mind! I even specifically asked the experienced villagers how to steer a raft! My rowing skills are pretty good, you have to trust me!"

After his proud declaration, Ling Qianfan confidently patted his sturdy chest. He looked at Hua Buwan with a steady gaze and made a solemn vow, "Don’t worry, Sister Hua! There won’t be any problems at all!"

Hearing Ling Qianfan’s words, Hua Buwan couldn’t help but hide a smile behind her hand and chuckle.

Ling Yunge chimed in right after him. Nodding in agreement, she wore a bright smile as she said, "That’s right, Sister Hua, you definitely have to try it out later! Mother and I gathered the vines used to tie the rafts together ourselves!

"These vines are incredibly tough. No matter how much tension they’re put under, they won’t snap easily! To make it completely foolproof, we specifically made the bindings extra thick and sturdy, so there definitely won’t be any issues!"
