Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 24 Slow life, enjoy it

Tan Shaoyang earned 10 yuan from this trip.

You don’t have to run out in the middle of the night to find goods. You can just turn them over in the time it takes to make ten or eight trips a month and save money.

What's more, we have dried sea cucumbers and abalone at home, and we can make some money by selling them.

He is very content. He lives a leisurely life, earns some money, and lives in harmony with his family. This is the best hope for life.

Tan Shaoyang strolled to the department store, paid the salesperson two cents to help him look at the bicycle, and then went in to pick out the necessary daily necessities.

Grandma and my parents' rubber sandals were patched again and again, and they were all covered with black marks from being burned with a sickle and pressed on the shoes.

He plans to buy them a new pair.

The rubber sandals were 2 yuan a pair and were very durable. I bought three pairs according to the size, and also bought a pound of mints and a pound of cakes.

In addition, I picked up a few rubber bands for the little girl. Daya and the others’ rubber bands were all broken and they couldn’t be tied tightly.

After the purchase, I only had 3 dollars left.

He was very content that he could buy all these things for seven dollars.

He hung the things on his bicycle and rode away. The sun was still scorching hot, but he no longer felt impatient.

On the way home, he smelled the delicious aroma of fried food and saw fried oil cakes not far away, as well as sweet potato cakes and scallion cakes, each costing 1 cent. Tan Shaoyang stopped the car and bought 13 oil cakes.

Youbaba is a dough made from glutinous rice flour with sesame seeds and sugar added to it. It is rolled into a round shape and fried slowly in a pan over low heat. It is cooked when the surface is browned.

Tan Shaoyang took a hot one and bit it. It had a crispy texture, with the aroma of sugar and sesame, which spread between his lips and teeth. It was very delicious.

While eating, I rode my bike back.

After I finished eating and my mouth was free, I had time to think about how to deal with the person from the supply and marketing cooperative.

He couldn't go to the county town every time, and the hot weather was quite unbearable. If he could sell it in the town, he wouldn't have to go to the county town all the time.

As for swimming crabs, you can purchase them and keep them, and then make another trip when the number reaches a certain level.

In the previous life, this relative of the mute girl’s father was very proud. It seemed that he was not brought down until 1988 because he was reported for disturbing the order by marching in groups.

He was very disgusted with the mute girl at that time. When he knew about this incident, he not only did not have the slightest sympathy, but felt very happy instead, and wished that her whole family would be punished.

This kind of behavior was strictly controlled during this period. It was the period of reform and opening up. People who disrupted order would be severely punished, and once reported, they could be caught in minutes.

It’s only 83 now, and it’s still a long way to 88!
The other party can still show off for at least five years, but that's too long and he can't wait that long.

He can investigate and expose it himself.

Who doesn’t encounter stumbling blocks on the road to life?
If the other party tries to trip him, don't blame him for fighting back.

I hope the other party will take action. He doesn't want to wait that long.

After investigation, Tan Shaoyang realized that the other party not only had large groups of people, but also collected protection fees, making the vendors who set up stalls miserable.

It would be a shame if he let go of such a good handle.

Of course, that’s all in the past.

Now he returned to the small fishing village, and as soon as he approached his home, the little kids opened the door to welcome him.

A pair of innocent eyes looked at him eagerly.

Clear and tender voices rang out one after another, like the singing of birds in the mountains, green and pleasant, and could dispel any tiredness.

Daya: "Uncle, you've worked hard. I'll serve you some porridge." Erya: "Uncle, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."

San Ya: "Uncle San, let me get you a fan."

Even the smallest fat kid tried to make his presence felt. He desperately dragged a chair and said, "Uncle San, I'll pull a chair for you to sit on."

Tan Shaoyang felt that he was warmly welcomed. Everyone surrounded him and showed him enthusiasm and care. It felt quite satisfying to be catered to by little kids.

Children are innocent and bright, and have no bad intentions. Their every move shows their truest feelings.

I just sincerely welcomed him and jumped for joy when I saw him.

Tan Shaoyang raised his broad palm and patted their little heads, saying in a lazy tone, "You really care about your uncle. Your uncle loves you well."

"See what delicious food I brought you?"

They took out the oily cakes and distributed one to each person.

He also took out the rubber bands he had prepared for the three little girls. They were not very valuable things, but the three little girls' eyes lit up when they saw them.

My hands were greasy, so I ran to wash them. I rubbed them again and again to make sure they were clean before I carefully picked it up in my hands. I couldn't let it go.

Tan Shaoyang looked at their excited faces and the curiosity they showed, and felt that the money was well worth it.

He is indeed a child, easy to coax.

As for the little fat boy, boys don’t need to tie their hair, it is enough to just let their mouths satisfy their appetite.

At this time, the sun was shining and most people were weaving fishing nets at home. When Tan Shaoyang entered the hall, he saw everyone busy, their hands moving quickly, and it was obvious that they were very skilled at it. Practice makes perfect.

"Mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, take a rest. I bought some oil cakes to satisfy your craving."

Who doesn’t love deep-fried food?

Even adults can't resist it.

They took one and ate it, the delicious aroma spread, and they praised Tan Shaoyang even more.

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand nonchalantly and drank the porridge served by Daya. There was a chair to sit on and someone fanning him. How can you describe this feeling?

These are days that even gods would envy!
Mrs. Tan looked at the three girls and said sincerely, "Old Third, don't indulge them all the time. Save the money and don't spend it carelessly."

"You haven't married yet, so you have to think more about yourself."

After Tan Shaoyang finished a bowl of porridge, he felt relaxed.

"It's not a big deal. It's the leftover money from buying cakes. I just picked it up. Their rubber bands can't even be tied tightly. Young girls like to look beautiful. It's time to get new ones."

As she spoke, she pinched Fatty's little face, looked at Mrs. Tan and said with a smile, "Don't be jealous, Mrs. Tan. Fatty doesn't need a rubber band. It's enough for his little mouth to eat to its heart's content."

Mrs. Tan waved her hands. Her son ate a lot of good things from him, so how could she be jealous?
What's more, since he asked directly, even if there was any idea, it would disappear completely, otherwise what he said about jealousy would come true.

"Look at what you said, it's just something to coax a child. I'm not a stingy person, so how can I take it to heart? Fatty likes you so much that he calls you Third Uncle all the time, even more than his father."

Tan Shaoyang smiled. He knew his second sister-in-law's character very well. If he said it directly, she would not feel resentful.

Mrs. Tan, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that her sister-in-law would be unhappy, but now that she had talked it out, she felt relieved.

Tan's mother looked at her two daughters-in-law. The eldest was the least troublesome, while the second was more cunning. In the end, she was controlled by the third.

"Okay, go and have a rest!"
