Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 85 How come you are so good at coaxing people?

Tan Shaoyang glanced at the sun that was getting hotter and hotter, and urged, "Let's go back. They've been waiting for quite a long time."

Three hours had passed since he started walking back and forth. He was growling with hunger and it was obvious that he was in urgent need of food.

Zhang Yishui has someone above him to back him up, so he doesn't have to worry about making money. He just sits around doing nothing and doesn't bother to think.
"It's up to you. If you lose money, don't blame others."

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to pay attention to him, and said in a contemptuous tone, "How can you talk like that? Don't you know you're looking forward to seeing me? Just say it once, why are you repeating it?"

"I make money so your grandpa can make money. It's a win-win situation. You can just look forward to me making more money in the future!"

When I got home my clothes were soaked.

Tan Shaoyang took off his outer shirt, pulled up his vest and put it on, and he felt a lot more refreshed.

Zhang Yishui was so confused that he could not care less. He took off his wet clothes and asked with his bare chest, "When did you bring a vest with you in the car?"

Tan Shaoyang took the shirt and scrubbed it under the faucet, then wrung it dry and put it in the sun to dry. It would be dry in a short while.

"When I ride a bike, my clothes get soaked, so I just keep a spare one."

After all, this is not your own home, you can’t act as you please!
Zhang Yishui nodded, "You are quite particular."

Tan Shaoyang glanced at him, "If you don't care, why do you take off your wet clothes? Just keep wearing them!"

Zhang Yishui was choked again, as if his shrewd appearance had completely disappeared in front of him, and he never got the upper hand every time.

At this time, Grandma Zhang had already prepared lunch.

Zhang Yishui told her grandmother about Tan Shaoyang's collection of betel nuts. Grandma Zhang was surprised but smiled happily. "Eat slowly. Don't be in a hurry. We will go over to pick betel nuts first."

By the way, he reminded Zhang Yishui, "Go pick some papayas for yourself later. We are going to the betel nut field to pick betel nuts."

For a moment, the bustling house suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Yishui was already exhausted, and he still had to go pick papayas, so his face fell. He looked at Tan Shaoyang and begged, "Third brother, come with me."

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand and refused without a second thought, "I won't go with you. I have vegetables in my garden, so you don't need to prepare any for me."

"Pick as many as you want!"

If you can avoid the sun, who wants to go outside in the sun?

He also wants to lie down!

Zhang Yishui looked depressed. His cousin was too delicate to be dragged out, so he finally put his hand around Zhang Yibei's neck and dragged her out.

"I'm bored alone, please go with me."

Zhang Yibei had no way to refuse and was dragged out.

"You can just go by yourself, why are you dragging me along? Do you know how to be considerate?"

Tan Shaoyang and Liu Xiang were left alone at home.

The awkward atmosphere spread. Liu Xiang licked her lips, looked at the strong-armed man, and asked in a sweet voice, "Why did you think of collecting betel nuts? Can this thing make money?"

"I thought you were making money from seafood like your cousins!"

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "Just give it a try. You'll know after you try it. What if it's the right way to make money? No one can guarantee it."

"You have to make money from seafood on the coast, but if you have other options, who would mind a wider way to make money?"

"I'm going to the county town later. Would you like me to take you to town?"

Liu Xiang's eyes lit up, "Will this be too much trouble for you?"

Tan Shaoyang shook his head and said jokingly, "You call me Third Brother, isn't it normal for me to give you a ride?"

Tan Shaoyang had to go to the county town to find the ingredients for braising betel nuts, and he also had to prepare an iron pan for roasting betel nuts.

Half a month should be enough for him to prepare for work.

While being busy, it’s nice to be able to look at the little girl’s smiling face. Although there is no purpose, it is also pleasing to the eye!
"I went with your cousin and helped him to make a deal. It's only right for me to send my cousin off on his behalf."

Liu Xiang tried her best to control herself, but couldn't help smiling. Her eyes were curved and the small dimples at the corners of her mouth made her look even more charming.

"Then I won't be polite to Third Brother. Thank you, Third Brother."

The cute and sweet voice makes people's hearts melt when they hear it.

Tan Shaoyang raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying lovingly, "No problem, Third Brother is happy to give you a ride."

"You call me Third Brother, I can't just ignore you!"

Liu Xiang grabbed the braid that hung in front of her chest, moving it up and down, feeling very happy. She was especially happy when she saw him indulging her.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before.

At this time, the brother and sister came back panting.

They were all very tired. When they came home, they sat down in an untidy manner, panting, and it was obvious that they were very tired.

Seeing how exhausted they were, Liu Xiang poured them two bowls of water and said, "Drink some water! You must be exhausted!"

"Cousin, you can go by yourself. Why are you dragging Xiaobei along? Girls like you will get tanned."

Zhang Yishan drank water in big gulps, muttering, "It doesn't matter, she has to get sunbathed at home anyway, jumping up and down like a monkey, and she still dreams of getting a fair complexion!"

"The sun is so hot, let's go back in the afternoon! I can't even open my eyes while riding a bike."

After saying that, he pulled Tan Shaoyang into his cousin's room and went to sleep.

As for the cousins, they will find a place to rest.

It's your grandma's house, not someone else's, so there's no need to be too polite.

They slept until the afternoon before setting off. Tan Shaoyang was going to the town, and no one had any objection to him taking Liu Xiang with him. Zhang Yishan was exhausted, and he was glad that he didn't have to send her off himself!
I never thought there was anything wrong with two people who had only met once being together.

It was only because the elders in the family didn't know about it, otherwise he would have been severely criticized. It was not credible to hand over his beautiful cousin to someone he had only met briefly.

Of course, the elders had no way of knowing that, and Zhang Yishui had no psychological burden.

The two cars parted ways halfway, one went back to the fishing village and the other went to the town.

When passing a bumpy section of road, the car bounced and swayed a little, and Liu Xiang subconsciously raised her hand to hug his waist.

When I put my hands around his lean waist, the touch was clear even through the thin shirt.

Liu Xiang's face turned red in an instant. She was a little girl, how could she be so close to a man!

Moreover, they were still very close to each other, but she didn't feel disgusted at all. She even wanted to prolong the time of contact with him. This feeling was extremely tormenting in the heart of the young girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

Liu Xiang bit her lip and quickly defended herself, "Third brother, I didn't mean to do that. I hugged you just now because I was afraid you would fall."

I want to let go but I can't bear to, I am greedy for this moment.

Tan Shaoyang patted her hand nonchalantly, and said in a teasing tone, "Then you better hold on tight, I don't have a daughter that old to accompany you if you fall!"

Liu Xiang's face turned red, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of the sun or shyness, she just felt extremely sweet in her heart.

I wish this road could be longer.

She felt reluctant to leave even though they hadn't even parted.

Liu Xiang asked for some unknown reason, "Will you let me fall?" Although she was asking, she just felt that she would not.

Tan Shaoyang sighed and replied, "Then I can only do my best. At most, I will fall and give you a cushion."

"I'm the one who gave you a ride back home, so I must be responsible for your safety. If you get hurt, I'll be blamed."

"Besides, it's such an eyesore for a pretty girl to have scars on her body!"

Liu Xiang felt as if these words were a compliment to her, and the smile on her lips couldn't be straightened out.

"How come you are so good at coaxing people?" Just a few words can make people feel elated.

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "How can I be so coaxing? I'm just telling the truth!"

"The little girl should be very popular! Did the matchmaker break the threshold of your house?"

Liu Xiang pouted and retorted, afraid that he would misunderstand her, "I don't look at others like that!"

Tan Shaoyang smiled, his mind was as clear as a mirror. How could the parents not strictly control and screen the partner of such a delicate little girl?

Thinking of the little girl smiling at him with bright eyes, it seemed quite immoral to seduce the little girl.

But he didn't do anything out of line. At most, he just said a few words of comfort to the little girl when she was scared.

This way you don’t have to feel any psychological burden!

Before we knew it, we arrived in town.

Rumors are scary. He chose a spot close to his home to park the car. After waiting for people to get off, Tan Shaoyang turned and headed towards the county town.

So what if the little girl is innocent and brilliant?
You still have to make money!
Money is not everything, but without money is nothing.

Only when you have money can people look up to you; without money you are nothing.

Tan Shaoyang went to the county town and tossed around for two days before he was able to buy the materials he needed.

I guess it’s time to go back.

It’s time for Mr. Tan’s boat to return.

He was a person who couldn't sit still, so after soaking his legs for a while to remove the moisture and relieve the pain that had lasted all night, he went back to the sea.

As long as his ship comes back, he can at least make some money. He must not let the mute sister's father seize the opportunity. It's good enough for him to have some soup. It's wishful thinking for him to want to eat meat.

Just because he used his relatives to exclude him, it was good enough that he didn't kill him. How could he be lenient?
Thinking this, I returned to the village.

Sandworms, dried clams, dried abalone, and dried sea cucumbers are collected all the time. As long as they can be stored, they will be collected as usual, and the more the better.

No matter how much seafood there is, Sister Bai will buy it all.

There are also restaurant owners who help to share the burden, and since there is simply not enough goods to go around, there is naturally no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

I ran to the pier when I got home.

Those who are counting the time have just returned.

The mute sister's father opened his eyes again, and it was going to be a day of irritation.

After all the calculations, it was clear that Tan Shaoyang was not at home, so how could he appear at the critical moment?

It's really infuriating.

This Tan Shaoyang is his nemesis. Why does he go against him every day?

It's really depressing to see him.

He shook his hands and walked away angrily.

There is no point in staying. Family members will definitely take care of family members, and he, an outsider, has no right to get involved.

Tan Shaoyang naturally saw it and smiled smugly, as if he wanted to make him mad but helpless.

I feel happier now.
