Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 181 New Harvest

Liu Xiang shuddered all over and forgot what had just happened.

"Third brother, let me take you for a walk. There is a river here and the water is quite cool." Although he rarely goes back, he has to go back because he is familiar with this place.

Tan Shaoyang nodded in agreement. After all, he couldn't help and he was just sitting there doing nothing.

The weather was cool, and the scorching sun was blocked by clouds, dissipating some of the heat.

Tan Shaoyang followed behind her, walking along the path one after the other. As Liu Xiang walked, she complained about how biased the elders in her family were. When she got anxious, she even looked ferocious and waved her claws.

It made Tan Shaoyang want to laugh when he saw her. She looked so fierce and cute.

People of this generation have little knowledge, and they will indeed suffer if they meet someone who is biased.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the river.

Liu Xiang couldn't wait to take off her shoes, found a large, stable rock to sit on, and put her feet in the water to play.

"Brother, come quickly, the river water is so cool!"

Tan Shaoyang saw the crystal clear river water at a glance. The water, which had not been polluted, flowed slowly from above, making a sizzling sound, which was soothing to listen to.

My eyes were quickly attracted by her fair and delicate little feet. They were white and smooth, with round fingertips that splashed water casually, making it hard to ignore them.

Tan Shaoyang sat down next to her calmly, and then he saw someone following her stealthily. His brows furrowed, and he looked a little annoyed at being disturbed.

Liu Xiang felt the silence next to him, followed his gaze, and saw Liu Li at a glance. He was immediately furious, like an angry lion.

After shaking off the water stains on his feet, he stood on the flat stone and cursed, "Liu Li, how can you be so tactless?"

"They're dating their partners, and you're eager to get close to them. You're so envious. Ask your mom to find you a partner!"

"Why is the whole family like this? They only care about other people's things. It's really disgusting."

There was a hint of resentment in Liu Li's eyes, but she quickly covered it up. What's the harm in being scolded? If she could snatch her partner, she would have no worries about food and clothing in her life.

"Sister, you misunderstood me. A big snake jumped out here a while ago. I came here to warn you because I was afraid it would scare you."

"Since you don't like to see me, I'll just leave."

Liu Li left after saying that, which made Liu Xiang very angry again.

"She made that face, as if I was bullying her. It really pissed me off."

Tan Shaoyang took her hand, pulled her gently, and held her in his arms. He rested his chin on her head and rubbed it gently, and spoke in a soothing tone.

"Don't be angry. Don't you notice that you get so mad when you see her?"

"The angrier she gets, the more complacent she will become. Just treat her like air and it won't affect your mood."

Liu Xiang nestled in his arms, pouting and complaining, "She always likes to snatch my things."

"When she was little, she would always grab the delicious food and fun things. My grandparents always said she was young and asked me to let her have them."

"I don't care about these, but I'm afraid she will snatch you away."

Tan Shaoyang patted her on the buttocks, "What are you thinking about? I am a human being, can I be snatched away just because I want to?"

"You should have some confidence. I am yours, and no one can take me away."

Liu Xiang was coaxed, her face was full of smiles, her eyes were bright, "Third brother, kiss me!"

Tan Shaoyang pinched her chin, lifted her delicate face, looked at the expectation in her eyes, pressed down gently on her rosy lips, held them in his mouth, pried open her pearly teeth, and then swept them in.

Liu Xiang leaned in his arms, tilted her neck back and enjoyed it, and became the obedient person who couldn't be more obedient.

Tan Shaoyang was very restrained. He let go after just a brief taste, and even kept his hands around her waist, without any overstepping the mark.

At that time, Liu Xiang looked at him with moist eyes and confusion in her eyes. She couldn't understand why someone who was usually so bold and reckless could be so restrained.

"Third brother, don't you usually like to touch me?"

Tan Shaoyang laughed, then rubbed her head, "Baby, we are outside. You will look like you have been well-nourished, and people will be able to tell at a glance."

"I know baby likes it, I will definitely satisfy you when I get back."

After Liu Xiang heard this, she was a little angry and raised her hand to slap him, "Third brother, don't slander me, I didn't do that!"

"It's obviously Third Brother who likes her. It seems like she's getting bigger and bigger."

Tan Shaoyang was quite satisfied. He held the heavy fruit in his palm and felt it was soft when he weighed it casually.

"So you should be more at ease, baby. I like people like you. Only you can catch my eye."

Carefully wiped the water stains off her feet and asked her to put on her shoes. "We have to go back. It's not good to be missing for so long."

Liu Xiang looked shy and her face turned red. She followed him obediently, and her excitement was visibly evident.

Back to the drying yard, looking from afar, it was still busy in full swing.

From a nearby corner, there were voices of disgusted abuse, as if someone was venting their anger. The more they cursed, the more fierce their tone became, as if they were venting their anger.

"Don't embarrass yourself here, get out of here."

"Your mother doesn't want you as a burden anymore, so stop coming out and getting in the way."

"I find you annoying when I see you. Don't you have any sense of self-awareness?"

As the two approached, they saw the person who was cursing. It was Liu Li who was choked away. She looked ferocious with someone on her back.

Liu Xiang frowned, took two steps forward and pulled Liu Li away, scolding her fiercely, "You think you are the landlord, you scold everyone you catch, do you know how to respect others? He is your brother."

"You share the same blood, how can you spit on me so casually?"

Liu Li turned around and saw the two of them. Thinking that Tan Shaoyang had seen everything clearly, she showed a little anger on her face, but she stopped pretending.

"It's none of your business. He's my brother. I can teach him a lesson however I want."

"His mother abandoned him and went back to the city. She hasn't even looked at him for years. If my mother hadn't tasted his food, he would have starved to death."

"If you don't know your own status, what's wrong with saying a few words? It's embarrassing. I don't want to bleed the same blood as him! Disgusting."

Liu Xiang was furious after hearing this, "If anyone wants to leave, then you should leave. He is a member of the Liu family, why can't he show up?"

"You've read so much that you've become a dog. You have no manners. If you don't want to see people, just stay at home and don't come out to see people!"

Then he pulled Liu Zheng and said, "Liu Zheng, don't pay attention to her. The affairs of the older generation have nothing to do with you. Don't always indulge her. If she scolds you again next time, you can beat her up."

Liu Li snorted coldly, "If he dares to make a move, I'll let my dad beat him to death. He's an evil creature that shouldn't have appeared. My dad hates him!"

Tan Shaoyang fell into deep thought as he looked at the young man in front of him, who was wearing washed-out, patched clothes and had a childish face.

Liu Zheng, an extremely familiar name.

Even the face looked familiar.

The person in my memory is more mature and reserved, with eyes that have become sharper with the passage of time.

After a while, Tan Shaoyang remembered about him. His mother was an educated youth. She got married to a man in the village and gave birth to him when she had the chance to return to the city. She abandoned her husband and son.

He had a difficult childhood and was a thorn in his father's side. Whenever he saw him, he was reminded that he had been betrayed by a woman.

Later, the children born to his second marriage also bullied him a lot, but his father turned a blind eye and continued to indulge them.

Unexpectedly, this forged his strong character, and he bought rare collections by collecting scraps and relying on his unique vision.

It was worth a fortune if he sold it casually. Later, he became a rare rich man in their area.

The only thing is that the situation at home is becoming more and more tense and domineering. There is even an issue about him not supporting his elderly parents, and there are even reports about it.

As a result, he remained cold and indifferent, and didn't care too much.

How can you persuade others to be kind if you have never experienced the suffering that others have gone through?

It was because of his experiences in his youth that he hardened his heart when he was older. Even if he used the money to do charity, he would not squander it on his family.

After thinking it through, Tan Shaoyang became more interested in this young man. He might be a wealthy man with a lot of money in the future!
If you can make friends with him, it will be a rare good deed.

"We are inviting the clan members to dinner today. Since you are a member of the Liu family, you can naturally attend."

Liu Xiang had someone to back her up, so she was even less afraid and pulled Liu Zheng away, "Liu Zheng, ignore her."

After Liu Xiang pulled the man away, she introduced him to Tan Shaoyang, saying that this was his second uncle's eldest son, who had the same father as Liu Li but different mothers. The two were of similar age and usually addressed each other by their names.

After greeting each other, Tan Shaoyang looked at Liu Zheng and asked, "What do you usually do? I have a job, I wonder if I can ask you for help."

Liu Zheng was stunned. He heard the villagers praising him and knew that he was very capable, but he couldn't leave at the moment. He shook his head and refused.
"Thank you. Grandpa is lying on the sickbed. I have to take care of him."

Liu Xiang pouted and had few good words for the old man, "Why do you need to take care of him? Don't you have your second uncle?"

Liu Zheng curled the corners of his lips but didn't say anything. He was able to live thanks to the old man. He was lucky that he was a boy and was favored by the old man, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Now, the old man is lying on the bed, and it is his duty to serve him. In this way, he can repay the favor he should have.

Tan Shaoyang knew that he had a plan in mind, so he didn't force him too much, "You can come to me anytime."

"I see that you are calm and steady. I need someone as steady as you."

According to memory, Liu Zheng will be free next year, which proves that the old man can only live until next year.

When he thought about the death of Mr. Liu, his marriage with Liu Xiang would be delayed again, and his brows furrowed.

How about doing the work of a mother-in-law in advance?

It's always so painful to be able to see it but not be able to eat it.

You are not young at 20, you can get married if you want.

While he was daydreaming, Liu Zhengyuan walked away, and he couldn't stop him. If he acted too friendly, it would easily arouse suspicion.

As soon as I got closer, I heard Liu's mother talking to someone.

They even talked about the fact that Liu Xiang was still young and they didn't want her to get married too early.

The thing that Tan Shaoyang wanted to talk to her about was cut off at the source. Liu's mother worked in a health center, so it was normal for her to have concerns. After all, getting married too early and having children was not a good thing.

I guess he's also concerned about this.

Since it cannot be changed, just accept it!

It seems that the production of fish fry still needs to be arranged into the process.

He can't stay plain forever.

A sharp blade will rust if it is not unsheathed for a long time.

Life is hard, but there has to be some sweetness!
While I was daydreaming, the food was served on the table.

There is strength in numbers, and the delicious aroma spreads.

A big pot of delicious food, it makes me hungry just by smelling it.

Those who could come have come, and Mr. Liu, who couldn’t come, had to take the food back.

Grandma Liu came to serve the food, and she served a lot. If she hadn't been stopped, she would have taken the whole pot away.

After this episode, the atmosphere is still harmonious.

With four tables of people, it would be quite lively.

I wolfed down the meal. After all, it was 1985 and the family was very poor, so it was rare to have meat.

Not everyone is as foresighted as Tan Shaoyang and able to seize opportunities to make money.

After all, only when you have the experience will you go through the trouble.

If you don’t understand, you will be helpless in making money.

There was a lot of food on the table, but everyone ate it all up. No one would waste such a hard-earned opportunity.

The leftover dishes that were not served were distributed to those who borrowed pots, tables and chairs.

The table of men drinking continued until the evening. Tan Shaoyang had to drive, so he refused all the drinks that were offered to him.

Fortunately, no one made things difficult for him. After all, he was capable, and Liu's father's status was gradually rising. No one dared to make trouble for themselves. It was good enough to be able to have a meal with him.

This meal also served as an introduction to Tan Shaoyang to the family members.

When he left, he took Liu's father back with him, who was drunk.

Although it was a very busy day, it was a great achievement to get to know Liu Zheng.

After Tan Shaoyang sent her home, he said something to Liu's mother, and then took Liu Xiang home after she had taken a bath.

Liu Xiang went all the way back to the Liu family's old house, still in shock, "It's so late, and my mom actually asked me to come out with you!"

Tan Shaoyang rubbed her head and smiled, "You are already my girlfriend, is there anything wrong with coming out with me?"

"Wait here while I take a shower."

Men take showers very quickly and are done in just a few minutes.

He returned to the room shirtless and feeling cool. Looking at the person lying on his bed, he went up to her, hugged her and started to bite her.

"Whose partner is lying in my bed?"

After Liu Xiang heard this, she raised her hand and hit him, "Who told you to choose my room to live in?"

"There are four rooms here. Why did you choose my house?"

Tan Shaoyang buried his head in her neck, smelling her sweet scent.

"I can only sleep comfortably in my partner's room. You can't let me live in my mother-in-law's room! It won't be pleasant there!"

"How do you want me to do bad things to you today? Tell me, and I will satisfy you."

Tan Shaoyang held the person in his arms and put his chin on her shoulder. Under the cover, his hand skillfully climbed to the top.

Then, a satisfied sound escaped from his lips, "Baby, you are so rare!"

Liu Xiang turned her head to kiss him, and Tan Shaoyang naturally would not refuse.

Who can understand the feeling of soft fragrance in my arms?

Liu Xiang felt weak all over, her toes straightened again, and she pushed the person behind her and said, "Third brother, take me back."

Further on, both of them suffered.
