Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 141: Daring and Reckless, My Heart is Hanging

After a brief exchange, I was pulled to the dinner table.

Everyone at the dinner table was immersed in drinking, and Tan Shaoyang brought some good wine, so they naturally drank happily.

Tan Shaoyang could drink a lot, but he didn't like the feeling of being drunk, so he made an excuse to go out. He found the kitchen was very quiet and there happened to be a spacious chair where he could lean comfortably, so he just decided to be lazy.

Just after sitting for a while, Liu Xiang slipped in, looked at him eagerly, and asked curiously, "Why are you sitting here?"

Tan Shaoyang smiled, his movements were lazy but not overly intimate, "Hide for a while, getting drunk on your first visit will not give a good impression."

"You don't want your future father-in-law or mother-in-law to look down on me, do you?"

Liu Xiang's eyes widened as she looked towards the door in fear after hearing his audacious words. "What nonsense are you talking about! We haven't even started yet!"

Tan Shaoyang sighed, "You haven't even started dating yet, and you want me to hug you and kiss you? If I don't pay attention, I'm afraid you'll cry."

Liu Xiang pinched him. This guy loved to tease her. "You actually care about these things. I thought you didn't care."

Tan Shaoyang looked at her, speechless for a moment. How could he show that he didn't care, giving her such an illusion?
He is obviously a steady person and would not be frivolous.

"Why shouldn't I care? I care about your family's feelings."

A family like the Liu family with two working parents is not short of money, so Liu Xiang was naturally brought up in pampering. If you want to match her, you still have a long way to go!
After hearing this, Liu Xiang felt very happy and her smile became even brighter and more charming.

Being outside his own territory, Tan Shaoyang was a little reserved. At least he would not pull her to do anything, which made Liu Xiang look at him sideways. "You are so quiet today."

Tan Shaoyang: "..." Let her show off for a while! You can't just pull someone to kiss you fiercely!

After staying for a while, Tan Shaoyang returned to the dinner table, as it was impolite to leave the table for too long.

Zhang Yishui was a drunkard who got drunk easily after drinking. Now he was dizzy again. His two brothers-in-law were not much different. They drank most of the wine they brought and fell down.

Tan Shaoyang helped people back to their rooms one by one.

Zhang Yishui was fine, he would just sleep quietly when he was drunk.

The other two people had to be served by others, and the complaints did not decrease. Even Tan Shaoyang asked Liu Xiang to send him there.

It was time to go to bed. Under the cover of night, it was pitch black outside. Liu Xiang sent him out the door and warned him, "Be careful."

Tan Shaoyang looked at the person who was about to turn around and leave, raised his hand and hooked her to his side. Under the influence of alcohol, he rubbed her slender waist, and even through the thin layer of clothes, he could feel the warmth on her skin.

The moment he lowered his head, he placed one hand on the back of her neck, supporting it with his broad palm, leaving her no chance to escape, and then he kissed her fiercely.

Liu Xiang couldn't believe that he was so brave that he dared to kiss her outside the door. She was so scared.

Not only was Tan Shaoyang not afraid, but he felt a little more excited and even tore open her clothes and climbed to the top.

Liu Xiang felt his movements and was frightened. She pushed the person away, pushing the door with a loud noise, and then quickly locked the door.

Tan Shaoyang heard the loud sound of the door closing and reacted a little slowly by raising his hand to take a look. Although it was only a brief contact, it was beyond his expectations.

The perfect fit is truly unforgettable.

The only thing is that he scared people. He really drank some horse urine and forgot about the progress. I'm afraid we should hide from him!

The next day.

Zhang Yishui walked over with a depressed look on his face, and took Tan Shaoyang to Liu's house, where he immediately drew a blueprint of the house.

The Liu family has land, so they don’t have to tear down the old house and rebuild it. This is convenient and saves a lot of trouble. At least they don’t have to find a place to live.

After Tan Shaoyang finished drawing the blueprint, he left and asked Liu Xiang out on the pretext of saving money. He thought that his behavior last night was too much. Liu Xiang ignored him and looked at him coldly with a bit of indifference.

Naturally, I didn't ask anyone out.

Even when he went to Liu's house to dig the foundation later, Liu Xiang seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and they never met.

Even Zhang Yishui could sense this awkward atmosphere and said in confusion, "Do you feel that Liu Xiang is holding her breath and has a stern face all day? Who do you think offended her?"

"She is usually a very gentle person, but it's rare to see her with a stern face. It makes me feel like something is wrong."

"That person must be unreliable. He made her, who has a mild personality, so angry."

Tan Shaoyang: “…”

Some things are natural and he can't control it. If Liu Xiang is really angry, there is no way for her to keep a distance from him. After all, he really did something inappropriate at that moment.

Later on, I just gave up, since that's just how he is.

If it really fails, just think that he is not destined to be with that person!

Once you have taken over a job, you can't just give up halfway.

Tan Shaoyang led four people to build a house. They cooperated well with each other and were busy every day. Those who did the hard work were exhausted at the end of the day and had no time to think about anything else.

This went on for several days in a row, and Tan Shaoyang didn't have the heart to dwell on it. He just worked when he was supposed to work, and left when he was supposed to leave after eating. Excessive dwelling on it would be unkind.

Even at the back, they were busy laying planks and installing steel bars. They didn't even have time to take a break to drink water. After finishing the work, they were so tired that they wanted to lie down, so there was no chance for them to have any contact.

In this way, although they were very close, the two had no chance of contact. What was originally a small conflict turned out to be a big problem that could not be solved.

Liu Xiang hid aside and watched secretly. Tan Shaoyang was fully focused on his busy work. She couldn't get over it in her heart. She felt it was too much and felt offended.

At first I was just throwing a tantrum, but now it has extended to this point and I don’t know what to do.

He liked Tan Shaoyang and was happy to be with him. He didn't even find his offensive behavior too difficult to accept. He just felt it happened too quickly and was afraid that he would not be cherished in the future.

Unexpectedly, she was so cold and Tan Shaoyang didn't bother to get along with her. He hung out with a few people for several days and even didn't come to see her. The house was getting taller and taller, but she didn't seem happy at all.

Although he was building a house for her family, she felt extremely aggrieved. Being inexperienced, he could only digest it in silence.

Half a month later.

On the day of paving the floor, they wrapped rice dumplings and scattered candies. Until the floor was laid and dried, the two of them seemed to be competing with each other and didn't even see each other.

Even the delicious rice dumplings didn’t taste fragrant.

Liu Xiang poked the ground with a stick, feeling terribly gloomy.

Zhang Yibei looked at her in confusion, "Sister Xiang, isn't building a new house a happy thing? Why are you looking at her like that?"

"Did someone at work make you angry?"

Liu Xiang shook her head, thinking it was not easy to tell others these things.

"Where's my cousin?"

Zhang Yibei said with disgust, "They'll buy meat and bring it back to the village. I'm afraid they'll drink again!"

"He said he was too tired in the past half month and needed to relax." "He made a bunch of excuses. He was just craving for food."

201
After hearing this, Liu Xiang felt even more depressed. She bit her lip slightly, with a hint of struggle in her eyes. Was her reaction too much?

Tan Shaoyang only compromised because of her relentless pursuit. If she got angry and made him back down, then everything would be ruined.

She obviously wanted to date him desperately, but she couldn't help herself from doing this. I shouldn't blame him, right?

I made up my mind that we must make peace next time we meet.

This period of time was very tormenting for her.

In the small fishing village, Tan Shaoyang had no idea what she was thinking. He just thought that the two of them had a falling out and there was no need to talk anymore.

Although there is a little regret, the feel is pretty good after all. But even if Liu Xiang is not happy, she can't force it!
It was mid-afternoon, and I had a drink with Zhang Yishui and his friends. After they had left, I saw the restaurant owner coming over.

Tan Shaoyang then realized belatedly that he had not supplied the other party with swimming crabs for a long time, and what he sent were dried clams that were hung out to dry. The other party must have been anxious, so he followed the clues and found them.

"Brother, you are really powerful. You actually found this place."

The boss patted his arm and said with emotion, "I went to ask you about your news. The garlic crabs are so delicious. There's a stall next door. If you don't come up with something new, it'll be hard to attract customers!"

"Please try to find some swimming crabs for me. The weather was dry before and there were no swimming crabs. We couldn't force it, but now the situation has improved. You must prepare some for me."

Tan Shaoyang nodded. The other party had helped him a lot when he was in trouble. Now that the other party was supplying some goods, it would be hard to refuse.

"The swimming crabs don't come out during the day, so I'll go out to the sea and catch them for you at night and deliver them to you tomorrow."

The boss was trustworthy and he kept his word and would not fool anyone. So he nodded in satisfaction.

Since guests are welcome, Tan Xiaoyang prepared a meal to entertain him. However, considering that they had to go out to sea in the evening, he definitely wouldn't drink any wine.

The boss didn't stay long. After getting the approval, he had a full meal and left.

After sending the people away, Tan Shaoyang went to look for the eldest and second sons, but they had not returned from the sea yet. The second son's hemorrhoids had healed and he became even more diligent. After all, his wife was about to give birth, so how could he not be diligent?
Not to mention the eldest brother, he is a hardworking person.

Since the person was not there, Tan Shaoyang could only go to find Zhang Yishui. After lunch, he was still lying in bed, which was really hard to describe.

Tan Shaoyang pushed him twice and asked, "Brother Shui, have you rented out your boat?"

Zhang Yishui tried to hold back his drunkenness, raised his head and looked at him, thought for a moment and then shook his head, "It's not rented, it's parked on the shore! Go ahead and use it if you want!"

Tan Shaoyang saw that he was too drunk to get up, so he could only go over to take a look himself. The boat was indeed docked at the shore, so he just had to go back and prepare the tools he needed.

Tan Shaoyang went home again and made a big scoop net. Swimming crabs would come out at night. When the light shone on the sea, he would see a white one and scoop it up, and it would be a swimming crab.

You have to go there early, because under the light, the swimming crabs will be easier to catch.

This time, we used batteries to light the boat. A huge bulb was erected on one side of the boat, which illuminated a wider area, including the swimming crabs.

Someone has to be found to tie the ropes for him. If the swimming crabs caught are not tied up in time, their claws will be easily broken if they are placed together.

If he needs help, it must be Sister Qing. It would be bad to ask the eldest sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is a jealous person, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

After figuring it out and preparing all the tools, he went to the next door to find someone, "Sister Qing, can you go out to sea with me tonight?"

"I have to go get some swimming crabs. I haven't supplied them to the boss in a while, and now they've come to my door."

Tan Shaoqing agreed without any hesitation, took the lunch box, scooped two spoonfuls of rice from the pot and followed him out.

"Let's go!"

The two men, armed with a full load of tools, boarded the boat and headed out to sea.

The crescent moon hung on the branch, illuminating the small fishing boat, which was moving forward little by little, as if it was moving with the boat.

Tan Shaoyang drove the fishing boat to the deep sea area. Under the bright light, he saw a white object floating on the sea.

While controlling the boat, Tan Shaoyang held a scoop net and scooped up the swimming crabs from a distance. He then fell into the cabin and had Tan Shaoqing tie him up.

The moment Tan Shaoqing saw the size of the crab, he exclaimed, "Can you catch swimming crabs in the sea? This one is quite big!"

"Look, there's another one."

"Old Third, how did you come up with this method to catch swimming crabs?"

She tied it up quickly and scooped it over with a scoop net. With quick eyes and hands, she was very fast and scooped up a swimming crab.

Then came the quick tying up.

Seeing his excitement, Tan Shaoyang replied, "The swimming crabs will surface at night. You can see them if you observe carefully."

Tan Shaoqing didn't quite understand. "Why didn't I hear Brother Nan and the others mention it? It's so easy to catch swimming crabs. They should be able to get a lot when they go out on the boat normally."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "Who knows about them? They are probably exhausted and just lie down on the boat and take a nap!"

"We can see the swimming crabs because the light is bright. They don't want to go through all that trouble. It's normal that we can't see them."

"The main reason is that there is no power line in our village yet, so it is troublesome to charge it normally. I had to fully charge it outside before bringing it back."

After this explanation, Tan Shaoqing understood that the flashlight would consume batteries, and the area it illuminated was not very wide, so it was normal for the two brothers to be reluctant to waste it.

"Third brother, there are a lot of swimming crabs in this area. We should be able to catch quite a few in one night!" It's much better than picking up crabs at the beach.

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "You need tools to catch swimming crabs, and you must have a boat to go out to sea. Without a boat, you can't catch them even if you want to."

"The villagers don't have the opportunity to go out to sea, so naturally they don't know much about it."

Just try your best to catch as many as you can.

In the future, when he went out to sea, he could catch several hundred kilograms of fish. But he was not so greedy and was content with a few dozen or a hundred kilograms.

Neither of them was the type to waste time. As soon as they saw any swimming crabs, they cast their nets. As time went by, they caught more and more swimming crabs.

After finding an area, we changed locations. After all, the sea was endless, and the last thing we had to worry about was swimming crabs. Of course, we also saw some other seafood.

Tan Shaoyang scooped selectively. He scooped up the valuable ones and pretended not to see the worthless ones. After all, the scoop net was heavy, and his arms felt sore from moving it back and forth.

I was excited at the beginning, but later I became numb, and I was only supported by my willpower.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it was already twelve o'clock.

Tan Shaoyang threw the scoop net onto the deck and leaned back, feeling so tired that he didn't want to move.

"Sister Qing, let's go back. This is enough."

"My arms are so sore that I can't lift them anymore."
