Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 138, etc. Chapter 137: Did Sister Xiang cheat on her? Why is her mouth swollen?

Tan Shaoyang looked at Zhang Yishui who was sitting on the chair and wanted to be a big shot and said, "You want to eat grilled food? I'll make the sauce and wash all of these."

"Cleaning the oysters after shelling them, don't always wait for me, if you want to eat them, do it yourself, I won't wait on you."

Zhang Yishui chuckled and stopped sitting, carrying a full bucket of oysters to deal with them. He even competed with others to pick up the big ones!
I’m afraid that if I’m a step slower, the food I pick up won’t be enough to eat.

Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took out the garlic and chili peppers that Zhang Yishui had prepared, and handed them to Zhang Yibei, asking her to peel and chop them for later use.

Zhang Yibei was not vague and started to process it skillfully. After eating the seafood grilled by Tan Shaoyang, the taste is unforgettable.

Tan Shaoyang went into the kitchen to light the fire. As soon as I lit it, I called out to the outside, "Liu Xiang, come over and help light the fire."

Call people in with good reason.

Liu Xiang's ears turned red and her eyes flickered. She was afraid that the brother and sister would find out, so she didn't dare to look at them. Although she was shy, she was eager to get along with Tan Shaoyang.

Without hesitation, he answered and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was open with just an archway. There was a dim light from inside, so one could see the furnishings inside clearly.

As soon as Liu Xiang stepped in, long arms hooked around her slender waist. Then Tan Shaoyang turned off the light, held her face, and kissed her rosy lips.

For a moment, it blocked her scream that was about to come out.

His movements were gentle, slowly soothing her.

Liu Xiang's stiff body gradually softened, but her hands were still tightly grasping the clothes on his chest. She endured it with her head slightly tilted back. Her heartbeat was obviously accelerated by the stimulation, but she couldn't bear to push him away.

I was very nervous, fearing that the brother and sister on the other side of the wall would suddenly rush in and see their intimate behavior, not knowing how to explain it.

For a moment, only a light clicking sound was heard.

After Tan Shaoyang let her go, he turned on the light. The dim light immediately spread throughout the kitchen, and Liu Xiang's rosy face was also visible.

He raised his hand and gently wiped the water stains from the corner of her lips, put his arm around her waist, and sat her down on the stool.

Her soft and tender waist could clearly feel her body temperature through the thin cloth. Tan Shaoyang placed his broad palm on it and slid his slightly calloused fingers gently.

Liu Xiang bit her lips lightly, her face flushed red, and she pressed her soft and tender palm against his big hand, dodging slightly as if she was ticklish.

Her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye. Her heart was pounding as if it would jump out at any moment.

She had never been so close to any man before, and had never done such intimate things with him. Her brain was like a paste and she couldn't think anymore.

I even felt weak all over and had no strength left.

Tan Shaoyang looked at his shy appearance with great satisfaction. He was like a bud that was about to bloom, being nourished and blossoming little by little.

Tan Shaoyang's hearty laughter overflowed from the corners of his lips. Liu Xiang's eyes were clear and bright, and she looked at him with full affection. That shy look, even though she didn't do anything, made him satisfied.

It was a unique experience. I could abandon my body's instincts and fall into such a youthful love with her. Without any desire, my heart was still warm.

"Are you shy? What should I do? I really want to hide you and give you a kiss!"

There was a hint of regret in Tan Shaoyang's tone as he spoke, as if she was really sweet and he hadn't kissed her enough.

Liu Xiang looked at him squatting, tugged at his hand, and said with a trembling voice, "Get up. You'll get dizzy if you squat for a while."

Tan Shaoyang stood up with the help of her strength. There was a very spacious bench. Liu Xiang made way for him. As soon as Tan Shaoyang sat down, she was pushed away.

Just as she was thinking of standing for a while, Tan Shaoyang pulled her to sit on his lap. Then he placed his broad palm on her neck and rubbed it gently.

Liu Xiang blinked her eyes, and her long eyelashes were like a small fan, as if they could fan people's hearts.

There was a hint of longing and fear in her eyes, but there was no resistance at all. She just looked at him, unable to look away.

Tan Shaoyang couldn't bear the temptation, and as soon as he got close, he blocked her rosy lips...

Until Zhang Yibei's shouting was heard outside the yard.

Tan Shaoyang reluctantly let her go and went to make the sauce.

Liu Xiang didn't dare to look at him. She stared at the flames. Someone might have thought her face was red from the fire.

His thoughts were also scattered until the sauce was ready. Tan Shaoyang cooked the garlic sauce, then he lighted the fire in the stove, piled them up in a cage, and carried them out of the yard before he came to his senses.

Liu Xiang followed him out, and Zhang Yibei exclaimed when he saw her, "Sister Xiang, did you eat something in there? Why does your mouth look swollen?"

"Isn't the garlic sauce too fragrant? You couldn't help it?"

When Liu Xiang heard the scream, her face turned red in an instant. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her numb lips and glared at Tan Shaoyang with a coquettish look.

It's all his fault. He didn't know the seriousness of the matter. If he had restrained himself, how could anyone have noticed it?

Tan Shaoyang was frank and not at all annoyed by the glare. Instead, he looked at her radiant appearance with joy. He did not dare to arouse suspicion and hurriedly explained,

"I asked your sister Xiang to help me taste the garlic paste. It might be too spicy, it's red!"

"You know the taste of garlic sauce. It's normal for it to be a little spicy. I can't get enough of it if it's not spicy!"

"You will be the same soon, so stop making fun of others."

Tan Shaoyang did ask Liu Xiang to taste it, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.

The main reason was that seeing Liu Xiang being ravaged by him was too conspicuous. If she didn't cover it up and someone saw it, she would definitely be so embarrassed that her face would turn red.

In this situation, I can get away with it even if I have an excuse.

Liu Xiang's ears turned red and she didn't dare to look in the direction of Tan Shaoyang. She just nodded casually and let the matter go.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make. It’s better not to say anything.

The main reason is that they are too bold and reckless. They dare to make trouble in the kitchen without a door in front of everyone. If they are seen, they will be in trouble!

Not to mention anything else, even the hurdle of dealing with parents is difficult.

Her parents hope that she will marry a man with a wealthy family so that she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

If she hadn't met Tan Shaoyang, she would have compromised and, as a good girl, followed the path arranged by her parents. But now that she has met him, she wants to give it a try and doesn't want to be controlled like this.

She believed in Tan Shaoyang. Even though they had no status now, he would not let her down. Sooner or later, he would find a matchmaker to come and propose to her.

She will also control the degree and won't let people get too far, to avoid the situation where her money becomes worthless.

A barbecue meal, my mouth is full of oil.

Zhang Yishui was very excited and kept shouting that he wanted to eat more. The seafood he had worked so hard to get must not be wasted. He grilled skewers in one hand and sipped wine in the other, and soon he was drunk.

In the end, he got drunk and felt dizzy. Not to mention going back, he would probably be left alone without making any movement.

Tan Shaoyang looked at him like this, unwilling to say anything, even with a hint of disgust in his eyes. He forgot to bring the two girls out! He didn't send them home, and he dared to get drunk.

"Let him sleep here, I'll take you back." In this state, it was obvious that he couldn't get up.

If a girl doesn't come home at night and her parents come looking for her, he won't be able to bear it.

It’s difficult to reveal it at the moment, and we have to give him time to slowly arrange it.

Liu Xiang looked at him with concern and asked nervously, "Are you okay?" She was afraid that her cousin would drag her into trouble and get drunk.

Tan Shaoyang smiled and said soothingly, "Don't worry, you didn't drink too much, it's no problem for me to send you back."

Liu Xiang nodded and didn't refuse. The two little girls didn't have the courage to walk at night. Looking at the mess, she said, "Send your cousin back to his room. We'll clean up here."

"It won't take too long. This mess will attract rats, and it will be troublesome. You still store so many betel nuts here."

Before Tan Shaoyang could try to stop them, Liu Xiang picked up the broom, and Zhang Yibei also followed diligently to clean up. Neither of them was lazy and their movements were very quick.

Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to stop him and helped the drunk Zhang Yishui back to the room.

By the time I came out, everything was already packed up.

Tan Shaoyang said, "Just leave the garbage here. I'll deal with it tomorrow. It's getting late. I'll take you back."

"If we delay any longer, my family will be worried."

Tan Shaoyang picked up a flashlight and motioned for the two to go out. Zhang Yibei kept complaining on the side, blaming Zhang Yishui for being unreliable. It was obvious that he was complaining about everything.

How could they come out together? They just got drunk and didn't care about them at all. It's really irresponsible.

Liu Xiang felt very happy in her heart. Having Tan Shaoyang by her side made her feel at ease. She didn't care at all that her cousin got drunk. Instead, she stood by to comfort him. She was in a very good mood.

"It's okay. Third brother can give us a ride, but it will be a trouble for you." As she said that, Liu Xiang secretly glanced at him.

Tan Shaoyang stayed beside her calmly. When he looked at her, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "No trouble, just consider it as payment for this meal."

As he spoke, he grabbed Liu Xiang's hand that was hanging by his side. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so he was not afraid of being seen.

The soft and boneless hands were tightly wrapped in his broad palms, and even after walking a long way, it didn't seem far at all.

Liu Xiang felt sweet in her heart, but she was also a little worried. She was afraid that Zhang Yibei who was following beside her would notice something, but his hands were tightly clenched and she couldn't get rid of them even if she wanted to.

Finally, I was appointed to a general position and was too lazy to resist.

Seeing that she was no longer struggling, Tan Shaoyang was even more unwilling to let go, so he escorted her in a bright mood, and even took her hand and played with it, with his movements being very casual.

On a summer night, with a faint moonlight, it is no problem to see the general road conditions.

The streets were quiet at this time. This was not the market area, so there were few people. I didn't see anyone along the way.

Zhang Yibei said, "Third brother, you can turn off the flashlight. We can see the road clearly in this moonlight."

Tan Shaoyang didn't care and continued to light the way ahead. "It's okay. It won't consume much battery. It would be troublesome if you step on something and fall down."

It’s a short distance to the destination.

While Zhang Yibei was not paying attention, Tan Shaoyang gently patted Liu Xiang's buttocks and said, "Go back!"

Liu Xiang raised her hand and pinched his thin waist. Finally, she looked around vigilantly and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone.

The two returned home together.

Zhang Yibei didn't notice the two people's actions from beginning to end. He didn't know whether he was careless or not paying enough attention.

Tan Shaoyang watched the door lock and turned back.

The next day, at dawn, Tan Shaoyang brought Zhang Yishui, who was drunk and in a mess, back to the village.

Zhang Yishui looked apprehensive and asked, "Did you send them home last night?"

"This wine is really strong. I got drunk before I knew it. If I had known, I would have drunk less."

As he said this, he glanced at him awkwardly, worried that he would be scolded, but who knew that Tan Shaoyang didn't even bother to glance at him, and let him talk to himself.

Zhang Yishui didn't hear any movement, so he said guiltily, "Old Third, I'm really wrong. I will make sure I don't get drunk next time."

Tan Shaoyang shook his head. "I'm not the one you should feel guilty about. When you take girls out, you have to ensure their safety no matter where you go. Things like getting drunk shouldn't happen."

"If anything happens to them, you will be skinned alive."

Zhang Yishui shuddered when he thought of that possibility. "I was wrong. I will pay more attention next time."

"Who told me to trust you? I know you will arrange things properly. If it were someone else, they would definitely not dare to be so reckless!"

Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to say anything. It was not a good thing to trust him too much, as he would be slapped in the face in the future.

"Let's go, go back."

With the help of two aunts here, he prepared the soup for the stew and didn't have to keep an eye on the rest.

Although it is troublesome, this is his secret to making money, and it cannot be stolen by others. Even the packets of marinated ingredients are processed by him, so that no one can tell that the ingredients are mixed.

It's not that I don't trust people, I just need to be vigilant.

When I returned to the village, I saw my friend transporting betel nuts again.

It’s quite a hassle to carry raw betel nuts back and forth!
Although the production process is more complicated, it can save some money. If you want to save money, just do it yourself.

There was no need for Lao Tie to show off. Tan Shaoyang walked up to him and started a conversation. "You are quite diligent. You brought back raw betel nuts. You have to deal with these yourself!"

I was even kind enough to explain to him the preliminary processing process.

After hearing this, Lao Tie was speechless, "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I have already transported it."

It takes a lot of effort to go back and forth one trip after another.

In the end, he was told that there was another set of procedures involved, which looked like it would be a troublesome task.

Tan Shaoyang spread his hands, "I saw that you were full of confidence, and I thought you knew how to use this thing!"

"This is still one of the tedious processes, and there will be more to come later."

"Of course, making money depends on your own ability. You definitely don't need me to impart my experience to you, so I'd better keep it a secret!"

"So that you won't be able to learn it secretly and then I won't be able to make money."

Those blatant words really pissed off his old friend, but at the same time he realized that he was just showing off.
