Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 184 Xu Qiang has feelings for Sister Qing!

Liu Xiang was delighted as she watched Tan Shaoyang chatting with the bank president, a sweet smile on her face. She felt very happy to be cared for and remembered by someone all the time.

Tan Xiaoxiao, an employee nearby, jumped out, bumped into Liu Xiang's arm and said, "This is your boyfriend, so rich!"

"You happened to be away that day, and he came with a huge bundle of money to pay off his loan! He paid tens of thousands of dollars without hesitation. You really have good taste."

"No wonder you were able to reject Xu Da with a clear conscience. If I had a boyfriend as rich as him, I would also be able to reject him without hesitation."

"We only earn a few dozen yuan a month, but he can pay tens of thousands of yuan at will. It would take us ten years to earn that much. It's really enviable when you do the math like this!"

"When have you decided to get married? You are so rich, it would be a shame if someone intercepted you."

Liu Xiang pinched her hand gently and whispered, "I already have a partner, so I definitely can't agree to Xu Da's request."

"There's no rush to get married. My partner won't let me down. Let's stop discussing this and go in quickly. You'll get scolded soon."

Liu Xiang felt so sweet in her heart, especially when she saw Tan Shaoyang, who was tall and straight, and steady and composed when talking to people. Even the bank president did not seem embarrassed or flustered in front of him.

She would never have been able to do that, and the recognition of her comrades further proved that her decision was correct.

Liu Xiang quickly calmed down and decided not to be influenced by him.

Tan Shaoyang looked at Liu Xiang who was concentrating, with a faint smile on his face, and then he walked away.

Some things don't need to be said out loud, allowing people to see the gap between each other and feel ashamed of themselves. It is better to let the enemy fall without being attacked than to provoke someone.

After resolving the matter, Tan Shaoyang left.

Instead of driving back to the village, I rode my bicycle and enjoyed the scenery along the road.

It’s enough for you to know whether you have money or not. There’s no need to put it out there for others to discuss. Besides, it’s not good to be too high-profile as it will easily make people jealous.

The villagers had no idea that he had a truck and only thought that the truck that came to pick up the goods belonged to someone else's boss.

Since the gap is not too big, naturally there will not be envy. If people knew that the truck was his and that he also had a ship, their attitude would definitely be different.

He doesn't want anyone to tamper with the ship so that it can sail safely.

Back to the small fishing village, the most obvious thing is that there are more ships on the sea, but it has not affected everyone’s life, and everyone continues to do what they should do!
On the way home, I saw a lot of red bricks placed next to Xu Qiang's house. The two brothers have always been very hardworking. They said they would build a house earlier, but later put it on hold. Now it is normal for them to build a house.

Seeing the truth that nature could not ignore it, I walked forward.

"Qiangzi, this is a lot of bricks, how about building two buildings?"

The moment Xu Qiang saw him, he patted his dirty hands and walked towards him. "This old house is quite old, and there are deep cracks in it. I'm afraid it will collapse after a heavy rain."

So we discussed and decided to tear down the old house and build two new brick houses.

"I have saved enough money for materials in the past two years. It is a bit slower to build it myself, but it doesn't cost any money."

"My eldest brother is getting married now, so let's discuss and each of us get a room to avoid conflicts in the future."

Rural children become independent early and understand more principles.

It's better to avoid conflicts than to live together and have conflicts.

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "No longer reckless, I will consider it."

"I suggest you build a wider house, otherwise the remaining space will be wasted."

"I feel tight on money now, but after one or two years when I make some money, I will feel that it is too small and inconvenient, and it will not be cost-effective to tear it down and rebuild it."

“It’s better to just build towards the spacious area in one go.”

Tan Shaoyang planned it for him with a wooden stick, placing two suites next to each other, leaving a spacious hall, and at least two rooms left.

As for the front area, it can be planned into a yard, and it is also a good idea to use yellow mud to build walls. This can not only prevent others from peeping, but also keep the place tidy.

Xu Qiang knew at first glance that he was better than what they had planned, so he called out to the busy Xu Hai. The two brothers gestured to each other and decided that they should listen to Tan Shaoyang.

After all, he is well-informed and has his own considerations for building the house this way.

"Okay, we'll listen to you. If we can't raise the money later, Third Brother will help support us. We'll make money as soon as possible to compensate you once we recover."

Tan Shaoyang raised his hand and patted their shoulders, "Brothers, don't talk about this. When you start working, we will all come to help you."

"We should help each other. I also want to build a house next year, so I'll let you provide the labor."

Between brothers, just a word of conversation can get things done.

As soon as Tan Shaoyang finished speaking, he saw Xu Hai's wife coming out. Her belly was bulging, and it was obvious that she was several months pregnant.

"Da Hai! Is your wife pregnant? It's not a good idea to start work when she's pregnant. There are some taboos that you don't believe in, but it will be troublesome if you run into them."

"My second son was building a house at the time, and my sister-in-law was also pregnant, so she went to the health center several times!"

"Let her go back to her parents' home when the construction starts! Otherwise, it will leave hidden dangers and easily leave a knot in her heart."

Xu Hai shook his head. "My grandma has already told me about this. I will move to the granary with her when the time comes. We will just clean up the place and put a bed there."

"It's not realistic to ask her to go back to her parents' home. A house cannot be built in a day or two. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will complain."

Seeing that they had their own ideas, Tan Shaoyang stopped talking.

"You guys just go ahead and build the house, just give me a call."

As Tan Shaoyang walked home, Da Jun's father greeted him.

"Tan Lao San! You led the Xu brothers to build a house. They can already build a brick house, but why haven't you done anything yet?"

"Why bother taking out a loan to buy a ship? You might as well build a house! Saving enough money to repair the house is better than anything else!"

"Look, you can bring the Xu Qiang brothers out, can you also bring my army with you?"

"Your skill is really great. Once you learn it, you won't have to worry about having a living."

Tan Shaoyang understood the other party's purpose, that he wanted to learn the skill of building houses!
It is indeed a visionary idea. After all, in the future, more and more people will build brick houses, and where there is demand, there will naturally be business.

Building a house can at least make a lot of money.

Once the wind for building houses blows, it will be no problem to save money and buy a house in town.

After all, there were such examples in the previous life, and it’s not just something said casually.

"Dad Dajun, I don't bother with this now, and I can't teach you. If you really have an idea, let him learn from his brothers."

"You can only learn these things through contact. No matter how good it is to talk about it, it is better to put it into practice. I don't even build houses anymore, so naturally I can't let him practice."

"But you have to ask Dajun whether he is willing to learn it. This is a hard job. The sun is scorching hot. Can he endure the hardship of being exposed to the sun all day long?"

"I'm really tired and can't take it anymore!"

It's not surprising that the other party would come to ask him, as he rarely refuses people. But now that he doesn't bother, there's no point in coming to him.

Da Jun's father's expression was indescribable. "I don't know if the Xu brothers are willing to teach! Why don't you just say hello, they will be more likely to listen to you."

Tan Shaoyang said tactfully, "Dad Dajun, you should go home and ask Dajun for his opinion!"

"No one is forced to do this job. The key is whether the army is willing to go."

You usually sleep until noon and don’t want to get up even when the sun is shining on your butt. You have never been to the beach to fish. How can you be willing to build a house? Can you endure the hardship?

Although you can make money, this money is also hard-earned.

You can't just say something and money will fall from your face.

Da Jun's father showed a little embarrassment on his face, and he didn't dare to pester her anymore, "I'll go back and ask Da Jun for his opinion. If he is willing, you have to help!"

Tan Shaoyang answered ambiguously, "You go home first and mobilize the army and convince him first."

In the future, many people in the village will have this idea. It is not impossible to recruit diligent people. More people means faster speed, which will lead to efficiency.

There are only four people in the Xuhai brothers, Zhang Yishui's cousin, and his cousin Zhang Xingwang. It would be better if they could recruit more people. When there is no work, they go to the sea, and when there is work, they work. They can take on several houses a year and don't worry about running out of money.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be diligent enough. Being lazy will definitely not work.

Tan Shaoyang walked back home slowly. When Grandma Tan saw him, she stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Old Third, tell me honestly, did you make any money?"

"You've done a lot of things, but why haven't you seen any money? The Xu Hai brothers can build a house, when can you build one?"

"Liu Xiang's family lives in the town. Is she willing to marry you and live in our mud house?"

"It's so hard to find such a capable partner, don't let him fly away."

The old lady's face was full of worry.

Tan Shaoyang smiled and comforted her, "Old lady, don't worry. If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Even if we live in a shabby mud house, Liu Xiang is willing to marry me."

"She can't leave me anymore. Even if she has to eat coarse food, she has to follow me. Believe in your grandson's ability. He won't let her fly."

"This house was built by Grandpa. It's just a thought for you. Are you willing to tear it down?"

After hearing this, Grandma Tan glared at him and said, "You are old, why would you worry about anything? Don't put this on me. If you want to tear it down, then do it."

"As long as the younger generation can live well, there is nothing I am unhappy about."

Tan Shaoyang put his arm around her shoulders and soothed her, "Don't worry, your grandson is a man with a plan. We won't move the house in the village. We'll build one in the town and let you live there."

"Not just in the town, I can build a house in the county town wherever you want to live."

"Or a bigger city farther away will do. I'll go look around and buy a good location if I find one."

After hearing this, Grandma Tan's eyes widened in shock. "You want to build a house in town? Where can I find the space for you to build it?"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged and said in a nonchalant tone, "I bought it! Your grandson has such a big ship, it can't be fictional!"

"I can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. If I don't make money, I can't maintain the expenses of a ship."

"But don't spread this matter outside. If people know that my ship can make money, they will definitely be short-sighted and want to take my ship."

"It's right for us to make a fortune quietly. Just keep it between you and me, but don't tell anyone else."

"All you need to know is that your grandson can make money and won't be worse than others."

Grandma Tan's heart was pounding, she couldn't believe that there would be a day when she could continue her glory.

Sure enough, the abilities of our ancestors have been passed down.

There are no more ugly ones, there is always one capable one.

Although the old lady loves to show off, she knows very well what she should and should not say. For example, if her grandson can make a lot of money, she has to keep it a secret.

This is the view of those who live in this small world.

Only someone like her grandson can become more capable as he goes on to experience more.

"Don't worry, your grandma has seen a lot of things in the world. She knows what to say and what not to say."

Tan Shaoyang smiled and complimented, "Of course, the old lady is very well-off, otherwise how could our family afford to buy a boat?"

Grandma Tan raised her hand and patted him, "Don't talk nonsense outside. You just came back, right? Have you eaten? I'll cook something for you."

"Maybe there's some seafood porridge in the pot, would you like to try it?"

There is the most seafood at the seaside. Others want to eat it but can’t, and they get tired of it after eating too much.

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "I can serve it myself, the weather doesn't have to be hot."

Tan Shaoyang had just finished eating and was lying on a chair. He was too lazy to go home. After all, there was only a wall between the two houses, so it didn't matter where he lay!

Who knew that when she was half asleep, Xu Qiang came over, bought things and didn't leave. He held her sister Qing and kept talking.

This guy has always been a talkative person, but I’ve never seen him be so passionate towards any woman!
He raised his head and took a few glances, and saw a light in his eyes. Tan Shaoyang was so shocked that he almost stood there. Could this kid have some ideas about Sister Qing?

Although they are from the same village, most of them came from all directions and lived in the small fishing village. Except for those who have some relationship with their own clan, they have no connection with other people at all.

Brother Xu Qiang is two months younger than him, and his sister Qing is a few years older than him, so how could they fall in love with each other?

And his sister Qing is with her child.

In this era, if you marry again with children, you can only marry a man whose wife has died. Which unmarried person would be willing to marry a divorced woman?

Even if he wanted to, his family would stop him.

In his previous life, Tan Shaoqing had no chance to go home and even lost his life early.

It is a rare thing to have such an encounter in this life!
Close your eyes, lie down quietly and don't get involved.

Anyway, you can't see him from his position unless you look carefully.

Just treat him as air, he doesn't mind being a foil.

Who knows that falling flowers have feelings, but flowing water is heartless.

His sister Qing ignored him completely and didn't even glance at him. A broken heart cannot be repaired easily. It would be very difficult for Xu Qiang to be with her.

Although Xu Qiang was depressed, he couldn't force it, so he could only leave with a lonely look on his face.

As soon as the person left, Tan Shaoyang jumped up and looked at his sister Qing seriously. She was dressed neatly. After a period of conditioning, her complexion became rosy and she looked full of energy.

Without any broken things getting in the way, my whole mood becomes cheerful.

Opening a store to make money is no longer what it used to be.

In addition, married women have a unique charm that cannot be matched by young girls, so it is no wonder that they attract people.

Tan Shaoqing felt the gaze and turned around. The moment he saw him, his expression became embarrassed.

"When did you start lying here? You scared me."

Tan Shaoyang smiled and said, "When Xu Qiang was bewitched by you."

Tan Shaoqing took two steps forward and slapped him, "Stop talking nonsense, or you'll tarnish other people's reputation."

"Xu Qiang's family is going to build a house. There will be many matchmakers coming to their house in the future. They can find any kind of partner they want. There is no need to waste time on me, a divorced person with children."

"Don't get involved. It's absolutely impossible for me to be with him. I just want to live a good life with Zhaodi."

"I have been longing for such a peaceful life now, and I will not let anyone destroy it easily."

"Xu Qiang is younger than you, so you can't consider him."

Tan Shaoyang doesn't think so. "What's wrong with divorce? Can't I pursue happiness?"

"Besides, you haven't even got the marriage certificate yet! It's just a piece of paper at best, and it's not even considered a marriage if you really count it."

"If Wang An can get married and live a good life, why can't you? Don't put shackles on yourself. As long as you can live a good life, there is no need to pay attention to other people's gossip."

"You have to know that people live for themselves first, and then for others. Those who talk about it are just envious and jealous."

"If you really marry a good person, I'm afraid your eyes will pop out of your head with jealousy."

"Besides, what's wrong with being young? At least you have a lot of energy."

Tan Shaoqing waved his hand and sent the man away.

"Don't fool me here, just do what you need to do. The more you talk, the less reliable it is."

She will never be fooled easily.

Tan Shaoyang shrugged and left. Xu Qiang should not be someone who gives up easily.
