Chapter 267 Fisheries Association
Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an disembarked from the boat with large and small bags, followed by Da Bai, who had a small bundle hanging around his neck.

As soon as the two people and the goose disembarked, they saw Little Gold and Little Eagle flying over to greet them.

Shi Xia waved and shouted, "Come down and get your things!"

The eaglet, which was flying downwards, paused in mid-air, and then flew upwards, farther and farther away.

"You little eagle! Wait for me to come home!"

Shi Xia snorted and continued carrying the package.

"Sister Shi Xia!"

"Boss Shi Xia!"

A group of children ran over, with Xu Danqing at the front.

"Sister, let me help you with that."

"it is good."

The children behind her also helped, so Shi Xia's hands were empty.

Led by Xu Danqing, the children ran ahead to deliver the items to Shi Xia's house.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an walked at the back, seemingly unhurried.

"Li Yafang, this is not right, don't act impulsively."

"Cheng Qingmin, I never thought you were so selfish! You're stopping me from going back now just because you like me and are afraid I won't come back, right?"

"That's not it. I just want you to be doing well. I just feel it's too sudden. How did you get a job? If you really had one, why didn't you offer it earlier? Why wait until you went to the countryside for a while before offering it?"

Shi Xia pulled Wen Cheng'an aside and quietly walked over to the other side of the wall, listening to the gossip.

Wen Cheng'an smiled and didn't move. His wife liked to listen, so he would just listen along.

Li Yafang ignored Cheng Qingmin's words completely, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Cheng Qingmin, I never expected you to be so despicable. What's wrong with the job my own father arranged for me? You're happy to be a teacher here and not have to work in the underground or sea, of course you're happy, but what about me? Have you thought about me?"

Cheng Qingmin was speechless. He couldn't say he liked Li Yafang; he only felt a sense of responsibility as a man.

But he is still her fiancé, so he can't just sit idly by.

"Ya-Fang, ask around first. Don't rush. If there's a real chance to go back, I won't stop you. I just don't want you to..."

She was sold out by her own father.

Li Yafang may have a bias, but Cheng Qingmin doesn't.

Although Li Yafang's father adopted Cheng Qingmin, Cheng Qingmin's father had a job back then.

The factory provides child support for Cheng Qingmin's adoption, and will also arrange a job for him once he reaches adulthood.

Before he could even start working, Cheng Qingmin was forced to go to the countryside.

"You don't want me to have a good life? Cheng Qingmin, you disgust me! Let me tell you, if it weren't for my dad making me get engaged to you, I wouldn't even give you a second thought!"

"Get out of my way! I want to break off our engagement!"

Li Yafang pushed Cheng Qingmin away and ran away.

Shi Xia had heard enough and came out without any embarrassment.

"Did you two have a fight?"

Cheng Qingmin was startled. When he saw that it was Shi Xia, he didn't feel anything about her eavesdropping. He just felt that this was something Shi Xia was capable of doing.

Cheng Qingmin came over and told him that Li Yafang's father had suddenly sent a message asking Li Yafang to go back to work.

"You suspect something's fishy?"

Cheng Qingmin nodded.

"So what do you plan to do? They're already breaking off the engagement with you."

Cheng Qingmin said indifferently, "If the engagement is called off, then it is. I still have to tell her. I have to live with my conscience."

Shi Xia looked at Cheng Qingmin with admiration, his values ​​were more upright than hers.

Cheng Qingmin went back and decided to speak frankly again. If Li Yafang still insisted on her own way, at least he wouldn't regret it.

After hearing the gossip, Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an headed towards the Shi family home.

Grandpa Shi saw the two of them.

"You two are quite something, preparing supplies before the troops move, even sending back vegetables."

"If we walk a little further, the food will be in the pot by then."

Shi Xia stepped forward and hugged Grandpa Shi's arm.

"Let me see, who is this old man quoting classical texts? Is he my wise and mighty grandfather?"

Grandpa Shi couldn't help but laugh at those words. "Get out of here, you talk too much."

"I mainly talked to Grandpa when I saw him; I don't talk as much with other people."

Wen Cheng'an immediately confirmed, "That's indeed the case."

Grandpa Shi stared at the two people who looked very serious.

"You two... are like brothers."

Shi Xia followed Grandpa Shi with a smile. A voice came from the courtyard: "Grandpa, it's your birthday. What nice gift can you give me?"

"Stay away from me."

"No! I just like being with Grandpa."

Wen Cheng'an walked in with a smile, took off his coat, and started cooking.

Before long, Grandma Qu, Aunt Qu, and the aunt next door all came over to help.

We're all having dinner together today.

Xu Danqing, Xu Danhong, Grandpa Xu, along with Old Man Shan and Uncle Qu, gathered together.

Everyone cooked together, making a total of twelve dishes. The wine was brought back by Shi Xia.

At noon, everyone sat down around a large table, and Shi Xia toasted on behalf of everyone.

"Grandpa, may you live to be two hundred years old!"

"Good, good, good, may you live to be two hundred years old."

Everyone raised their glasses, drank, and ate together.

After the meal, everyone cleaned up together and chatted when Uncle Cao came over.

"Uncle Cao, come and sit down."

Shi Xia invited him in, and Uncle Cao came in with a smile and sat down to the side.

There wasn't a single word of small talk; they got straight to the point.

"Shi Xia, the higher-ups said they want to set up a fishermen's association, and each village needs to send one person. I'd like to put your name on the list, is that alright?"

"Fishermen's Association? What does that do?"

Shi Xia didn't quite understand, so Uncle Cao explained it to her.

"It's to provide fishermen with mutual support while they're out fishing, so they can get to know each other and avoid being bullied."

"Were we bullied? Someone attacked our fishing boat?"

Shi Xia sat up. She hadn't taken anyone out fishing for quite some time now. She hadn't expected that after a short period of inactivity, someone would be bullying them.
"It's not a big deal, just friction, which happens frequently."

"That's not OK!"

Shi Xia said with dissatisfaction, "They should stay away from our ship when they see it, so why should they come up and bully us?"

"We're the ones who should be bullying them, and they actually dare to fight back! It's like when the tiger's away, the monkeys run wild! We've given them face, but we still haven't really hurt them."

Uncle Cao felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. After Shi Xia finished speaking, he felt that they were the ones who were the "great powers".

"Shi Xia, are you going?"

"I'm going! I absolutely have to go! I'm determined to be the head of this fisheries association!"

Uncle Cao blinked and stopped Shi Xia, who was full of lofty ambitions.

"It's not the leader, it's just a village representative going to participate in the association."

Shi Xia tilted her head.

"Without a leader? How can anything be accomplished? With such disorganization and lack of discipline, how can we fight a war?"

Uncle Cao looked around: Did he mention the war? What did he just say?

Uncle Cao left the Shi family in a daze. After reviewing the events himself, he went to Accountant Xu's house, still feeling uneasy.

Xu family.

"Old Xu, my heart is pounding. Why don't you go with Shi Xia tomorrow?"

Accountant Xu, puzzled, asked, "It's just one person leaving, what's there to be afraid of?"

Uncle Cao waved his hand.

"I have a feeling that Shi Xia is going to start an armed force."

Accountant Xu: Is that possible?
