Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 120 is about recruiting people!!

After Xu Qiang beats the guy up, it will be impossible for him to get involved with him anymore. This way, he won't be fooled by his sweet words. It's a good thing instead!

Otherwise, you will have to live in fear.

Tan Shaoyang finally managed to calm the irritable Xu Qiang, and when the matter was settled, his sister-in-law gave birth.

Several children came to him with pale faces, and Tan Shaoyang had to comfort them, "Don't worry, everything will be fine, go home with your uncle, and your uncle will cook delicious food for you."

"You'll have a little brother soon."

In her previous life, after giving birth to three daughters in succession, Mrs. Tan finally had a son. The delivery went smoothly without any accidents.

I don't think it will be a big deal, just wait patiently.

It was normal for the children to be confused and scared when they heard the screams. After all, they were scared enough when Mrs. Tan gave birth last year.

Tan Shaoyang took them to catch mantis shrimps. With a sharp tool made of bamboo tubes, catching the mantis shrimps became quick.

Mantis shrimp are not valuable at this time, and they are difficult to catch. Few people catch them, but with a sharp weapon in hand, you can still catch a lot.

Just when they were having fun catching people, Zhang Yibei came over with Liu Xiang.

"Third brother, what are you guys catching here? I can hear the noisy noise from a long way off."

When Tan Shaoyang heard the question, he looked up and saw two energetic girls. They were dressed almost the same, a shirt with a floral skirt. It was a very retro outfit, but they looked gorgeous in them.

This outfit is not that popular in the village, so Liu Xiang must have purchased it from somewhere else.

If a person is beautiful, even a shawl or a sack will be dazzling.

Tan Shaoyang didn't dare to look any longer and looked away.

"Catching mantis shrimps, where are you two going?"

Zhang Yibei chuckled, turned around and showed off, "Third brother, isn't my dress beautiful? Sister Xiang brought it back for me, and I couldn't wait to take it out and show it off!"

Tan Shaoyang gave them a thumbs up and praised them generously, "Clothes make the man, and you look like a rich lady when you dress like this."

Zhang Yibei pulled Liu Xiang and praised her, "My sister Xiang is still more beautiful. I think she looks more charming in what she wears."

Tan Shaoyang touched his nose, a little embarrassed. It was not good to discuss this with the little girl. He was like a gangster. He praised, "They are all beautiful."

Then he changed the subject, "You all come to the beach, do you want to try my special tool for catching mantis shrimp?"

After all, Zhang Yibei was a girl who grew up by the sea, so she got the hang of it quickly. After pulling it a few times, she felt it was not challenging enough and passed it to Liu Xiang.

"Third brother, I heard that your grilled oysters are delicious." She was almost drooling at the child's boasting.

Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "If you want to eat, go find oysters yourself."

Zhang Yibei was very excited and led a group of little kids to look for oysters. As for the mantis shrimps, they had smoked enough and were tired of playing with them.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the spacious area.

Tan Shaoyang looked at the person standing beside him and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Liu Xiang nodded, and after trying it herself, she got the mantis shrimp, and her eyes lit up.

"Is it that simple?"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged. It was only because he brought the supplies, otherwise it would not be so easy to catch mantis shrimp.

Liu Xiang didn't know how to find the entrance to the hole, so Tan Shaoyang gave her some pointers. She then pulled up several more in succession, her face flushed with excitement.

I kept playing until I had a lot of fun and then stopped.

Liu Xiang looked at him and said gratefully, "Brother Yang, thank you! My uncle was almost cheated some time ago. If you hadn't reminded him, he would have been deceived by someone else."

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "It's about the village, so just be more careful. After all, if we can't get the funds, the villagers will have to pay for it, so it's normal to be concerned."

Liu Xiang shook her head. "My dad didn't know about this at the time. Thanks to your warning, otherwise if this matter continued, my dad would be implicated!"

"And you led them to build such bright and spacious shops in the town. Brother Yang is so awesome!"

Her eyes were full of admiration for him, her eyes were sparkling when she looked at him, and her eyes were full of his shadow.

Tan Shaoyang felt guilty as he looked at her trusting expression, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart. He was afraid that if he continued talking, the girl would fall in love with him.

"Let's go see how they pick oysters!"

This ambiguous atmosphere must be broken.

Liu Xiang watched him trying to leave, the smile on her face froze, she raised her hand and subconsciously grabbed his hand, and asked with a bit of frustration, "Brother Yang, do you hate me?"

"Why do I feel like you don't want to contact me?"

"We haven't seen each other for several months, but you look calm and composed, without any fluctuation at all."

Ever since he went to build the shop, I haven't had any chance to meet you.

Tan Shaoyang sighed. He must be very happy to have such a pretty girl admiring him, but he couldn't allow himself to have contact with her.

He is just an ordinary person in a small fishing village, and she is the eldest daughter of an official family in the town. Why should she treat him differently?
It goes without saying that there will be many obstacles!

He is a cynical person who just wants to live a leisurely life and really doesn't want to work hard!

If this person is as unscrupulous as Bai Mei, who has no worries, he would dare to approach her boldly, after all, the other party can take it or leave it. Anyone who doesn't take advantage is a fool.

But Liu Xiang is obviously not such a person!

Youthful, carefree, and well-protected, how could he possibly mess with someone like that?

If I can't give her a future, I'm afraid her father will break her legs!

After all, this isn't someone he can play with whenever he wants.

"No, aren't you tired of catching mantis shrimp? Go find something else."

Tan Shaoyang avoided the important issues and still gave people the impression of being lazy and careless, which made Liu Xiang unable to see through him.

Tan Shaoyang walked in front carrying the bucket, and Liu Xiang followed behind, just looking at the tall and burly man in a vest.

Although he looked unruly, she was deeply attracted to him and couldn't take her eyes off his back.

Every smile, every move fascinated her.

"Brother Yang, you haven't found a girlfriend yet, right? Do you have any thoughts about finding one?"

Tan Shaoyang had a sly smile on his face and answered nonchalantly, "Let's not talk about it. Who can a family like ours bring trouble to?"

Liu Xiang pouted and muttered softly, "A family like that? Aren't you pretty hardworking?"

Tan Shaoyang pretended not to hear anything and couldn't give a response, so he didn't let anyone bother him.

They soon arrived at the place where they were picking oysters. Oyster shells were scattered all over the ground and a strong fishy smell was all around. A few people made a quick decision and came over carrying a large bucket.

Zhang Yishui frowned and said with disgust, "Let's go quickly, this place stinks to death."

Tan Shaoyang took the bucket from her hand and carried it. This area was full of oysters. Usually they would just pry open the shells. How could there be no smell when there were so many oyster shells on the ground?

A large group of people returned home in a hurry.

Tan Shaoyang went to deal with the mantis shrimps. He looked at Zhang Yibei and asked hesitantly, "Can you pry open these oysters?" "I still have to prepare the seasoning. If you can pry them open, you will be responsible for dealing with this pile. If not, leave them here and I will come back later."

Zhang Yibei waved his hands and said confidently, "Third brother, you underestimate me too much. I also grew up in a small fishing village. How could I not be able to pry it open?"

He patted his chest and assured, "You can go and do what you need to do. I'll take care of this."

Seeing that she was very confident, Tan Shaoyang let her do what she wanted. "Slow down, don't poke holes all over your hands."

"I'm grilling oysters, but I don't want to use your blood as seasoning."

Zhang Yibei pouted and complained, "Third brother, don't look down on me. It's such a simple matter, it can be done easily."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, turned around and went about his business. He cleaned the mantis shrimps and placed them aside. He had been planning to deep-fry them until crispy, but now that he was going to grill them, he might as well just grill them!

Another fish processed.

Then start making the garlic sauce.

The garden is filled with fragrance again.

It is a very simple farmyard, and the delicious smell coming from it is enough to make you salivate.

The adults could still bear it, but the children wanted to come over.

Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to chase people away. After all, the goods caught from the beach were not worth much money, so he let them in.

During this process, the fire was lit again, and soon there would be red charcoal for roasting.

I made some space to check the progress of oyster processing, and saw Liu Xiang cleaning them, but Zhang Yibei was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Zhang Yibei? He left you here alone."

"Just leave it there and let me deal with it. Don't hurt your hand later."

Liu Xiang looked up and poked her hand without checking, and immediately cried out in surprise.

Tan Shaoyang frowned, hurriedly took water to clean her, and then pressed on the bleeding area.

"You don't know how to deal with it, why bother with it? If you poke your hand, won't you suffer? I haven't even stopped talking, you really have a lot of potential!"

Liu Xiang listened to his angry words and looked at the enlarged face in front of her. She was stunned for a moment and didn't even know how to quibble. She just stared at him pressing his hands on her.

Tan Shaoyang didn't hear any movement. When he lowered his head, he saw her focused eyes and stopped complaining.

He sighed and was too lazy to say anything.

The man was led to the hall, the wound was pressed for a while, and after the bleeding stopped, he was asked to sit down.

"Just sit here and wait. These menial tasks are not for you to do."

Liu Xiang raised her hand and grasped his broad palm, feeling the warmth coming from her palm. She was so attached to it that she was reluctant to let it go.

"You scared me just now. I was able to do it well before. I'm not someone who can't work. I can do it."

Tan Shaoyang turned his head and saw the little girl holding his hand and not wanting to let go. There was even a bit of nervousness on her face, as if she was afraid that he would push her away.

The anger in my heart just dissipated.

A beautiful girl is eager to like him, so what right does he have to show disdain to her?
"Don't you want to eat grilled oysters? I'll go take care of it. Otherwise, what are you going to eat?"

Before they could take any action, Zhang Yishui's loud voice was heard.

"Third brother, you are so disrespectful. You didn't even invite us to the barbecue. We won't come here in person if you don't invite us."

Not only did people come, they also brought all kinds of seafood.

Even brought three little green dragons.

When Liu Xiang heard the familiar voice, she was so scared that she retracted her hand and her eyes were flashing with fear.

After all, she is a little girl, how could she not be afraid of being seen by acquaintances?

Tan Shaoyang's hands were empty in an instant, feeling the tender and smooth hands disappearing. They were obviously well protected, very delicate and smooth. He felt a little reluctant to see them disappear like that!

But there was no reason for him to hold the little girl's hand and play with it.

Has it really reached the point where one is so shameless that one takes advantage of others and does not want to be responsible?

He rubbed his fingers, waited for the touch to fade away, gritted his teeth and followed her out.

Looking at the person who was familiar with the place, he replied, "I'm taking care of the child. If he wants to eat, he won't make it himself."

"You can eat here if you want, but do it yourself!"

It's impossible to ask him to serve you.

Zhang Yishui was very self-aware and didn't need him to remind him at all, "You know, your hands are precious, I dare not let you come, only these little ancestors in your family can order you around."

Tan Shaoyang replied, "That's good to know."

While they were talking, the Xu Qiang brothers also arrived.

Grandma Xu was taking medicine and was fine, so the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief. They came running over when they heard there was food to eat.

"Third brother, I didn't have time to thank you for what happened last time, so I bought some pork belly. It's most delicious when grilled."

Neither of us is a fussy person, we just eat whatever is available.

After Xu Qiang cut the meat and marinated it, he saw Xiao Qinglong before putting it on the grill. He widened his eyes in shock, "Buying meat and grilling it is already a luxury, but there is also Xiao Qinglong. Who is so generous?"

Zhang Yishui pointed at himself and smiled, "Lao Tie threw his tools to me to use, and said we would split the fish we caught in half."

"I thought I had nothing to do, so I went to the sea for a trip. I was lucky enough to catch six small blue dragons, and I got three of them. I didn't have time to sell them, so I just took them here."

"I haven't eaten Xiao Qing Long yet! It's only a little over a pound of meat, so just eat it."

"You can buy meat and roast it, so why can't you afford this little green dragon?"

"It's just a little effort. At most I can just go back to the sea for a swim next time!"

After hearing Lao Tie, everyone on the field looked at each other in bewilderment, and then Xu Qiang said, "That guy came to my house and made my grandma sick. He has a lot of bad ideas in his mind. Don't be fooled by him."

Zhang Yishui waved his hand, "Don't worry! If he dares to lie to me, I will beat him to a pulp."

"You all know how I am regarded in the village. Does he have the ability to come?"

"He tried to fool me before, but I manipulated him all the time. He has a psychological trauma when he sees me, so he doesn't dare to have any ideas."

After hearing this, several people felt that they were worrying too much. This man had the support of the village chief. He was a lawless person in the village and no one dared to mess with him.

"Don't talk about this, just eat happily!"

After a full belly from the barbecue, the children were so happy that they completely forgot about their mother's distress.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Tan's mother came down to greet them and asked Tan Shaoyang to help them wash up and then go to sleep downstairs.

At the same time, it also brought good news that Mrs. Tan gave birth to a son.

This is a good thing. Mrs. Tan was so happy that she cried. After all, in the countryside, one cannot hold one's head high without a son to support him. After giving birth to several daughters in succession, she finally welcomed a son. How could she not be excited?
