Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 123 Dreams Come True, Get Rich
Tan Shaoyang didn't care about their distrust at all. He rowed the boat at his own pace. He would know whether his dream would come true when the time came.

Facts speak louder than words. He prefers to give slaps in the face in a fierce way, which leaves people with a deep impression.

After a long process of rowing, we finally arrived at the destination.

From afar, you can see the deserted island exposed in front of people's eyes, like a small hill. Although it is not high, it really appears before people's eyes.

Tan Shaobei's eyes widened in shock, and he stood up instantly, "Third brother, your dream has come true!"

"I just wanted to take you to the sea to try out the joy of fishing. Who knew that your bad luck would come true?"

"You are speaking the truth. Do I have to take you with me when I go out to sea in the future?"

This kind of island surrounded by sea water will be submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide. This is because the sea level is shallow now, otherwise it would not have the chance to be exposed for many years!
Tan Shaonan naturally saw it as well and was equally excited. He could even see the standing mangroves from afar.

This tree has tenacious vitality and is not afraid of being submerged by sea water. It can continue to grow tenaciously even when the tide recedes. This trip may really bring unexpected gains.

"It's rare for the Third Brother to go out to sea, and he is blessed indeed!"

"We have been wandering around the sea, but we have never had such luck. We have never seen such an island appearing above the water!"

Tan Shaoyang felt a little guilty after being praised. He touched his nose, coughed, and then said, "Don't waste time. Let's hurry up! Let's just pray that there will be a big shipment so that this trip won't be in vain."

The three of them worked together and quickly docked the boat at the shore. They secured the boat, picked up the tools and went ashore.

In a place like this where no one has set foot for years, special attention must be paid to safety, and all three of them wore water shoes.

Tan Shaonan is the eldest brother, and he has many concerns in his heart. "Be careful later. Don't step into unstable places. I'm afraid there may be swamps. Especially the third brother, let's go together!"

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "Don't worry, I value my life and won't put myself in danger."

After the reminder, the three of them did not delay any further.

As expected of an island soaked in sea water, a lot of fish can be seen from afar in the area covered by sea water.

"I'm rich, I'm rich, Third Brother. Your dream is quite real. You should have more beautiful dreams like this in the future!"

We picked up a lot of abalone and sea cucumbers.

After going around the side all the way, the bucket was full.

"Let's not sleep anymore. We have to walk around the island even if we have to stay up all night!"

"I've never seen such a large group of seafood before, and they are all very big. This trip will definitely make a lot of money."

Just pick up, pick up, and focus on picking up, with no other thoughts at all. Picking up one after another, the joy can only be understood by those who have experienced it personally!

By the time they had finished walking around the area, it had become pitch dark, and after several trips back and forth, the bucket was almost full again.

Even so, the mangrove forest in the middle has not been visited yet!
Tan Shaoyang looked at the two people who had no intention of stopping and reminded them, "The tide is rising. We have to retreat to the boat."

The island could be submerged at any time, so for safety reasons, we must evacuate.

The two brothers looked at the sky and then at the position where the tide was rising. If Tan Shaoyang hadn't reminded them, they would not have noticed that the tide was rising.

It was only Tan Shaoyang who reminded them, otherwise they would have kept picking up goods, and when the tide rose and the boat floated in the ocean, they would have been waiting for death.

Thinking of this, he broke into a cold sweat, his whole body became hot, and he retreated in a hurry, "Hurry up, the boat must not be blown away by the waves."

Although it is fixed, the tide is rising, who knows if there will be any accidents?
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!
If the ship is drifting on the sea with the wind and is far away, it will be very difficult to find it!

Tan Shaoyang looked at the two people concentrating and shook his head, saying with a look of disdain,

"You two reminded me of the danger. I think you should have been the ones to pay attention. If I hadn't come, with the way you two worked, by the time you woke up, the ship would have been in the middle of the sea."

"Swimming will tire you out enough by then."

"Don't be too devoted when you go out to sea in the future. You are the head of the family. The whole family depends on you. If something unexpected happens, you will be a bunch of idiots without anyone to back you up."

“Although making money is important, you cannot ignore your own life for the sake of making money. Human life is still the most important.”

The two brothers did not dare to refute and just listened humbly. This time they indeed saw too much goods and thought about making a lot of money, so they became greedy.

Being able to pick up so much is already a gift from God, how can I dare to dream of more?

"Third brother, take these back and sell them directly! There are too many gossips in our village. No one can make money, but we can. I'm afraid it will cause disputes again!"

"Our family has always been the center of conversation, so we should not be too high-profile, otherwise it will be very annoying if people talk about us."

After all, we are about to rent a boat to go out to sea. Where did they pick up so many seafood? When we ask them about it, it will be difficult to tell them, and it will be difficult not to tell them.

If they don't tell them, the villagers will definitely think that they are narrow-minded and want to have the best of both worlds. If they tell them, they will be taking advantage of them and will be unhappy.

So, after thinking about it, it is better to make a fortune quietly.

Tan Shaoyang looked at the two of them and they had the same idea. It turned out that some words and actions could be contagious in a subtle way.

For example, at this moment, if the matter fell to Tan Shaoyang, he would definitely not publicize it, but would sell it secretly for money.

After the eldest and second oldest had been in contact with him for a long time, they gradually learned this smart move.

Even though we are a family, the impact is still huge.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about this deserted island. It may be exposed today, but it may not be exposed tomorrow. If they tell others, the island will be submerged by the sea by then.

I'm afraid that other thoughts will arise, thinking that they are deceiving me just to cover up their desire to make money. In this case, it's better not to disclose it from the beginning.

If you don't know, you won't cause unnecessary trouble.

"Let's go back to the boat and get something to eat. We are starving."

There's a stove on the boat so it's no problem to fill your stomach.

Tan Shaoyang caught some crabs and processed a few abalones, planning to put them in the pot to cook later.

This means that if you pick up a lot, you will be willing to give it away.

Normally, who would be willing to eat such a big abalone? They are waiting to exchange for money!
Tan Shaobei looked at the pot of porridge, his eyes lit up, "Old Third, you really treat yourself well! We were not so willing to spend money when we went out to sea before. We would wait to exchange such big abalone for money."

He used to think about eating, but he no longer dared to do that after being scolded.

Tan Shaoyang rolled his eyes and said calmly, "What should we eat? We can't just drink porridge, right?"

"We picked up so many, eating a few is not a luxury. You must have a good physique when you go out to sea, so you have to eat when you need to. If you always save, it will be even more troublesome if your body can't hold on."

"And the fragrance spreading out, aren't you greedy?"

Of course I'm greedy, who wouldn't be? My mouth is watering.

Tan Shaobei smiled and could not wait any longer. "It is still a blessing to go out to sea with the third brother. We don't get such treatment when we go out to sea normally. Some small fish and shrimps are good enough." "You don't know what Dad saves. He will scold you if you eat one more bite! If you don't want to be scolded all the time, you have to be obedient."

"Abalone porridge, and one that big. Is this the first time I've enjoyed it?"

Tan Shaonan was speechless when he saw his greedy look. "Look at you. How are you going to raise a child if you don't save money?"

"You should earn as much as you can during normal times. You can't waste money like that. What will you do if you have no money when your children go to school?"

Tan Shaobei: “…”

"Boss, I just said one thing and you blocked my way. My Fatty is only three years old! He still has many years to go to school, so it's not too tight!"

Tan Shaonan said with disdain, "How much did my sister-in-law's hospitalization cost last year? You have to prepare for it now! You have to make money even if it's just to be on the safe side."

"You can't ask the third brother for money when you really need it, right? Is that reasonable?"

Tan Shaobei felt depressed when he thought about it and kept silent.

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to hear these boring topics. Going out to sea was tiring enough, so how could it affect his mood?
"Bring the bowl, it will be ready soon."

We were all family, so there was no need to be reserved. We all gathered around the stove. After the food was cooked, each of us had a big bowl of it. After eating and drinking our fill, we lay down on the deck and didn't want to move.

In the pitch-black night, you can vaguely see the deserted island being submerged bit by bit, and your eyes are filled with regret.

Tan Shaobei sighed, "The deserted island is about to be submerged again. We can't even enter this mangrove forest yet. There must be a lot of blue crabs!"

"I also want to make more money. Time waits for no one!"

"It's right in front of me but I can't make money. It really hurts my heart to think about it. I don't know if the island will be exposed tomorrow."

Tan Shaonan agreed, "Don't think about it, just go to sleep! Just have some sweet dreams, but I'm afraid they won't be as effective as the third brother's!"

The light words hit me hard again.

Tan Shaoyang listened to the two people talking and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

They have too many concerns. Even though the deserted island is usually submerged by sea water, it is impossible for it to be submerged now that the overseas line is low!

"Don't think about it. Two people will sleep while one will watch the boat. Then switch places in the middle of the night. If you want to know the situation, you will know when you wake up tomorrow morning."

Everyone is very tired. After all, you have to bend over to pick up goods, and backache is normal. Now I lie down flat and my whole body feels relaxed.

As he lay there, all that was left was the loud snoring.

When I woke up again, I was dazzled by bright light.

The first thing I did when I woke up was to look in the direction of the deserted island, and found that it was exactly the same as yesterday, and was not submerged by the sea.

"The water level is much lower now!"

"This deserted island is usually submerged, but now it is revealed before our eyes just like usual."

"Let's get ready, fill our stomachs, and quickly head to the island. I can feel the blue crabs approaching us."

Tan Shaoyang said, "You guys go up first, I'll cook something to eat, and you guys can come back in half an hour."

Tan Shaoyang took out his fishing rod and tried to see if he could catch any fish. It turned out that the fish took the bait quickly and he caught it easily.

After catching the fish, I processed it quickly. First, I stewed the fish to make fish soup, and finally discarded all the fish bones and residues, and used the fish soup to make porridge.

The taste is so sweet that it makes people squint their eyes.

As soon as it was cooked, the two brothers came back with buckets, looking excited.

Tan Shaobei was very excited. "Let's hurry up. There are so many blue crabs! You can find one in the mud pit. They are all very big."

"It's so exciting. If the rope hadn't run out, I wouldn't have wanted to come back!"

Tan Shaonan also had a rare look of joy on his face, "We really have to hurry up, we have to get there before the tide rises."

"Third brother, you can have more dreams like this in the future." Even the eldest brother couldn't hide his calm temperament.

Tan Shaoyang placed the dried porridge in front of them and was too lazy to even roll his eyes. These things were not endless. If this deserted island was not submerged by the sea, they might be gone if they picked them up this time.

It's good to take advantage of it once.

"Don't think about it. Judging from the trend last night, this deserted island will not be submerged by the sea."

"If it doesn't rain, you may only get lucky enough to find one or two blue crabs after this one. It's impossible for you to get as many as you want."

"That is because no one has been to the island yet, otherwise it would not be our turn to pick up the bargains. People should know how to be content. Take advantage of the opportunity now to pick up more and stop thinking about things that should not be thought about."

If the seawater can’t even be pushed up, how can there be cargo?
There is some hope for the next position.

It's impossible to go up there. Don't you see there are so many dried shells?

Those are places not covered by sea water, so they were directly sunburned to death.

The grown man was very fast by nature, and he finished a large bowl of cooled porridge in just a few minutes.

Leave the bowl to soak, grab the bucket and set off.

It has to be done as soon as possible, without wasting even a minute.

This patch of mangrove forest is not very large, but there are rotten wooden stumps and sunken mud pits, where there are always blue crabs hiding, and their sizes are so big that they make you happy to see them.

Even a lazy person like Tan Shaoyang felt that picking up the seafood was very satisfying. It was the first time that he experienced the joy of going to the beach so thoroughly.

After all this busy work, when they gathered together again, they were all in a mess and dirty.

Tan Shaobei: "I've been in such a mess in order to make money, but why do I feel so happy?"

Tan Shaonan was only concerned about one thing, "When you were picking them up just now, did you look back to see if you missed anything?"

Tan Shaobei was exhausted and felt his legs were sore. He couldn't get up and walk around again. He refused.

"Forget it. Even if one or two are missed, just consider it as releasing them." I was so tired that I couldn't walk anymore. I hadn't stopped for the whole day and my feet were cramping.

Tan Shaoyang was so tired that he slumped aside. He smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that you would not let any of them go? Now you are so tired that you just give up?"

"You've already gone through all the rounds. You're all dirty and smelly. Let's go back."

Tan Shaobei echoed, "I agree. I really can't walk anymore."

"Go back quickly and sell it for money!"
