Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 173 The pie is getting bigger and bigger!

Liu's mother was extremely satisfied with Tan Shaoyang. Just based on everything he had prepared today, it was enough to show that he cared about Liu Xiang.

Who is so generous that he would take out three turns and one ring just for the engagement, and even the table is so bright and spacious? He is simply unique.

"Your uncle is drunk. I'm going to check on him."

"Xiangxiang is a little drunk. We have some bee water at home. Make her a cup. I'll ask you to take care of her for a while."

Tan Shaoyang agreed without hesitation, made her a cup of honey water, and served her to drink.

Afterwards, he picked her up by the waist. Liu Xiang was drunk and her face was rosy. Because she was engaged, she wore new clothes, which made her fat and thin where she should be, and her good figure was clearly visible.

Especially when you hold someone in your arms, looking at the tight buttons, bearing a weight that they shouldn't bear, and looking like they're about to break at any time, it makes you jealous.

He knew very clearly what kind of graceful figure was hidden under the cover.

Today is the engagement day, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will be his wife. I feel a different kind of impulse.

Liu Xiang was drunk and became more bold and reckless than usual. She raised her hand and pulled his shirt.

"Third brother, you've bitten me so hard that there's not a single piece of healthy skin left. I'm going to bite you too." As she said that, her hand was randomly touching his chest, without any pattern, but it was the most arousing.

The ignition point was clear.

Finally, she felt disgusted with his clothes because they were in the way, and she kept fiddling with the buttons. She felt dizzy and couldn't unbutton them no matter what she did. There was a bit of annoyance on her face, and her little mouth was pouted.

Tan Shaoyang looked at her curiously, leaned over and pecked her lips, then put her down and helped her, "Don't worry, honey, whatever you want is fine."

Anyway, he can't suffer any loss and must get it back.

After the shirt was taken off, revealing a strong chest, Liu Xiang's eyes immediately brightened up. She pushed the man to sit on the bed, imitating his usual diligence.

Tan Shaoyang is not a dead man. How can he not react when his girlfriend tortures him like this?
He soon felt the sensation and wanted to avoid her, but Liu Xiang got closer and closer, as if she was lying on him.

"Third brother, I feel uncomfortable."

Tan Shaoyang took a breath of cold air, and he seemed to feel better.

"Baby, if you just be quiet, we can all feel better."

Liu Xiang was drunk and didn't care about these things. The more disorderly he became, the more drunk he became.

Tan Shaoyang felt the blood rushing to his head. Looking at her like this, he became more impulsive and hugged her and kissed her fiercely.

Liu Xiang opened her eyes and looked at him confusedly. She was obviously very dizzy, but she became more and more well-behaved.

Who knew that while kissing, he fell asleep completely.

Tan Shaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He changed her into some cotton clothes, covered her with a thin quilt, tidied her up, and then left.

Liu Xiang woke up from a nap, her memory came back to her, a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth. She wanted to see him urgently, so she quickly got up and brushed her teeth, thinking about going to find him later.

Tan Shaoyang naturally didn't know what Liu Xiang was thinking. He rode his bike back to the small fishing village and saw that the gate was open. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhang Xingning.

"Why are you standing here? Aren't you going to get ready to go out to sea?"

Zhang Xingning looked depressed, "Third brother, didn't you hear the rumors? I'm not from a small fishing village. I've been fishing at sea. People look down on me and gossip about me all the time!"

"You say you don't know your own weight and you're taking money that you shouldn't be making. You're so shameless. Anyone in your shoes would go home as soon as possible."

"But what you said is not wrong. It makes me feel very upset. Otherwise, Third Brother, please help me sell the boat!"

"Although I make a lot of money, I can't stand this humiliation."

Tan Shaoyang was silent. He had not considered this situation. Those people in the village who did not have fishing boats would indeed be jealous. After all, not everyone could go out to sea to fish. It would be unreasonable for them not to be jealous when they saw others making money.

"How about this, sell the boat and come and learn how to sail from me. Although it will be difficult at first, if you can endure the hardship and learn it, it will be a long-term and stable job in the future."

"Third brother will not treat you unfairly. I will give you meat to eat and soup to drink."

Zhang Xingning's eyes lit up. He never dreamed that he could drive a ship. "Third brother, do you trust me too much? Can I do it?"

"If such a large ship is handed over to me, if something goes wrong, I will become a sinner."

Tan Shaoyang patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, you have the courage. Driving a boat requires reaction ability. You are flexible and smart. I believe in you."

"And it's not something you can learn right away. After driving with me for two months, you can learn even if you're not familiar with it. Plus with Jiu Ye's guidance, it won't be a problem once you become proficient."

Now Jiu Ye has been helping on the boat. Although he has to earn more money, he also has more security.

Jiu Ye's two sons also wanted to come and help, but were rejected by Tan Shaoyang. These two people had impulsive personalities, and he didn't want to have two bombs around him.

That's true, but it seems to have annoyed them a bit.

The two men were quite dissatisfied with their father's help to them, but they suppressed their resentment as long as they could make money.

If he wants to sell the boat now, he must tell Jiu Ye. One reason is that Jiu Ye has asked him, and the other is that it would be a good thing to have fewer people holding a grudge against him. After all, more friends are better than more enemies.

He doesn't care who buys the boat, as long as the fish caught must be sold to him. He can also make a little extra money from the difference. Otherwise, how will he maintain the two trucks?

"Go on two trips with the boat and see what happens."

"Let's prepare our things now. The wind and waves are not too strong, so we should be able to travel tonight."

After giving the instructions, Tan Shaoyang went to his ninth uncle’s house to look for someone.

It was noon and no one went out to sea.

People would be wilted by the sun, let alone going to the beach. Even if there were goods on the beach, they would be sunburned.

So, when Tan Shaoyang went there, the father and his two sons were all there, and the two daughters-in-law each occupied a corner, weaving a web.

"Master Jiu, I have something to tell you."

"Didn't my cousin buy a boat from me? He was quite criticized in the village, so he planned to sell it. You asked me about buying a boat earlier. Do you still want to buy it?"

"If you still need it, I'll sell it to you. If you don't need it, I'll take it myself and hire someone to catch it."

The two brothers' eyes lit up as they listened.

"Buy it!"

His fishing boat sank to the bottom of the sea. He had not been able to go out to sea for a long time and he was already itching to go out to sea.

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "1000 yuan. If you need it, just raise the money. Although the boat has changed hands several times, it is % new. This price is very fair."

"But I have a prerequisite. If you want to buy my boat, the goods must be sold to me. Everyone knows that I am a fishmonger. I also found the boss who sells the goods. I don't like it if I am bypassed."

"Even the goods of Yishui, Laoda and Laoer have passed through my hands. They are all priced according to the market. There will not be any bias."

Some things should be said out loud. Don't hide them because you're afraid of offending others.

It is best to speak clearly so as to avoid conflicts.

The two brothers looked at each other and asked Tan Shaoyang tentatively, "Third brother, can we catch the goods first and pay after we make money?"

Tan Shaoyang shook his head, "Don't make things difficult for me, brothers! It's only because my cousin is not from the small fishing village, otherwise you wouldn't get to take advantage of him."

"At that time, the Zhang family also used up all their savings to buy him a boat. Now you take the boat without paying, no one will be happy!"

"There is so much cargo now, it is no problem to make more than 100 yuan per trip. After working for a year, not only can you get the ship, but you can also make money."

"Fishing boats are very popular. If you don't want them, Zhang Yishui will definitely take advantage of them. If it weren't for my cousin, he would have bought them no matter what." "He and I are good friends, and my girlfriend is his cousin's. If he asked me for it, I couldn't refuse."

"As for the money, you guys should think of a way. It's not impossible to get a loan. As long as you work hard, you can always pay it back."

"Brothers are united and can break any stone together. Look at how many brothers I have. We fought to the death, but it's better for us to unite now."

"Think about it yourself. Is it stronger to have a single thin rope or to have all the ropes tied together?"

"Just wait and see. If my eldest and second brother can work for another year or two, we will be able to build a second-floor house by then."

"I'll give you three days to think about it. When I return on my next voyage, give me a reply whether you want it or not."

People can't stand stimulation, and the pie that Tan Shaoyang painted was too big, so big that it was hard for them to refuse.

After all, if you can make money, who can resist it!
Tan Shaoyang did not linger for long, giving them time to think about it.

As a result, as soon as he returned home, he saw his girlfriend coming over. She stood there looking at him with a sweet smile on her face. She was so well-behaved.

Tan Shaoyang came closer and hugged her soft waist, "Baby, are you dizzy?"

"We can't drink anymore, so let's drink less."

Liu Xiang nodded and said, "I saw that you were very happy, and I thought you wanted to make me drunk twice more!"

Tan Shaoyang held her in his arms and rubbed her cheek. He still liked to take control of the initiative. "I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable after getting drunk. If you can't drink in the future, then don't drink. Anyway, whatever kind of partner I have is good."

Tan Shaoyang kissed her and she was so soft and obedient, and the more he looked at her, the happier he became.

Liu Xiang was suffocated by the kiss and pushed him away, her face flushed red.

"You're really something. You were outside! Someone saw you."

Tan Shaoyang said with a playful smile, "What are you afraid of? There's no one else. We're already in a relationship, so it's normal to be intimate. If anyone wants to be jealous, go ahead and date them!"

Liu Xiang's pupils widened, and she couldn't believe what she heard, "Third brother, let's go back first."

Tan Shaoyang was helpless. His girlfriend was thin-skinned and he couldn't joke with her, otherwise he would get angry.

"Don't be angry, I won't make trouble anymore."

"You didn't have breakfast? I'll make you a bowl of egg fried rice. It's guaranteed to be delicious and filling."

Liu Xiang said, "I ate a little."

Tan Shaoyang pulled her into the kitchen, "Then eat with me. Your man cooked it, you can't dislike it."

Liu Xiang still ate the fragrant egg fried rice.

Afterwards, Tan Shaoyang sent his men home and prepared to go out to sea.

"Your man is going out to sea. Don't stay out alone. If you feel bored, go find Zhang Yibei. The world is in chaos now, and child trafficking is becoming more rampant."

"It turns out to be endless on the sea. I don't even know which direction to go if I want to chase it."

"Just stay at home and wait for me to make money and come back to marry you."

Although Liu Xiang was reluctant, she couldn't hold him back, "Be careful, come find me when you come back!"

"I'll come see you when I'm free."

He gave some instructions before leaving.

Tan Shaoyang never stops when he is busy, and he wishes he could be used like an ox.

Liu Xiang knew his return time, so she would come to his house to wait for him on her days off, as they were usually busy with their own things.

As April approaches, the Qingming Festival and the rainy season arrive.

Tan Shaoyang had been sailing on the sea for more than two months. Seeing the strong wind and huge waves, he hurried back.

Put all the fish brought back onto the truck.

The rain was pouring down in sheets, like a roar of downpour.

There was a lot of rain and strong waves. You could make a lot of money by fishing at the beach, but going out to sea was a bit difficult.

But after working so hard all the time, it would be good to take a break. The body is the capital of revolution, and we cannot be like a cow all the time.

I was idle at home when Grandma Tan called me.

"Old Third, what are you going to do with these little fish you brought back? Are you going to share them among your relatives like usual?"

Tan Shaoyang brought back a lot this time, about three or four hundred kilograms!
Tan Shaoyang jumped up and said, "Grandma, don't be in a hurry to share. I'm going to make some crispy fish and dried squid. Let's take them out and try."

I bought glass jars specifically for easy storage.

I just wanted to take it out to see if I could make some money.

Zhang Xingning was gradually able to take over. After another ten days or half a month and becoming proficient enough, he would not have to go out to sea with the ship often.

Freeing up time allows you to do other things. Don’t waste time when you can make money.

Many people in the village had free time and planned to hire someone to help him build a factory, but he was too lazy to build a building, so he just did the simplest thing and built a bamboo factory first.

Let’s see if there is a market first?

If sales are good, we can consider expanding the factory.

He has to eat one bite at a time. He can't spend all his money at once. He has to consider other things. If he doesn't put all his eggs in one basket, even if they are broken, they won't all fail.

This is the way to make money in the long run.

When Grandma Tan knew that she would be needed, she agreed without hesitation.

"Please trust my craftsmanship. It will definitely be delicious."

"There are so many fish, it's hard for me to handle them all by myself!"

Tan Shaoyang said, "Just say I'll pay a few old ladies to help. It'll only cost 2 yuan per person. It's not a big deal."

These old ladies are idle at home and usually help with housework. They can't go fishing because their old arms and legs are too tired.

As long as they can make money, no one will refuse.

Two dollars can at least buy two pounds of pork.

Grandma Tan hesitated and said, “That means several dollars will have to be given away.” She felt bad, but was reluctant to do so.

Tan Shaoyang advised, "Old lady, there is gain in loss. If you can process these fish to make them tasty, you can also make a lot of money."

"When you can make money, let the old lady help manage it, and whoever you assign to work will do it."

"You will be the head of the village by then, and all the old ladies in the village will surely respect you."

Grandma Tan was persuaded. She couldn’t do it alone, and the third brother was exhausted, so just invite him!
Invite the old sisters who get along well with you over, so that you can be less jealous of her.

The main reason is that the cake painted by Tan Shaoyang is so delicious that I can’t refuse it!
She can invite whomever she wants, and it is a very honorable thing.
