1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

Around 9 a.m., the port of Shenlan Town was bustling with activity, and the docks were crowded with ships.

This time coincides with the return of the first batch of fishing boats to port. Compared to usual, it is a little later because it is the first day of the lunar new year and the tide is low.

The two brothers, Lin Shuisheng and Lin Chaosheng, rowed their own small sampan and slipped into the harbor, successfully securing a small berth.

As soon as they moored the boat, the dockworker rushed over to them, tearing off a handwritten mooring ticket with a ripping sound.

The fee is not expensive; for small boats like theirs, a temporary stop costs 3 cents.

If it's a motorboat, it'll be a bit more expensive, ranging from 1 to 5 yuan depending on the tonnage.

Moreover, these are local fishing boats. If they were fishing boats or transport boats from other places, the price would be at least double.

Lin Shuisheng took out his money and paid the fee. He immediately went to the ice factory's store to buy some crushed ice and took measures to keep it fresh.

"Ah Shui, where should we sell it?"

Lin Chaosheng protected the water tank, his face showing excitement.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuisheng remained silent, only glancing at the row of private sheds on the dock.

As for the state-run aquatic product supply and marketing cooperative, he didn't even consider it.

Although the bargaining system for aquatic products has long been liberalized, state-owned aquatic product supply and marketing cooperatives generally trade according to the listed price.

To sell at a high price, you still need to find the right buyer.

"Hey? Lin Shuisheng, aren't you a big boss running a shrimp pond at home? What brings you to town?"

"Who are you?"

Lin Shuisheng turned his head to look at the person who had come in, his brows furrowing slightly, and for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

"Ha! You really do have a bad memory! It's been years since we last met, how come you don't even recognize your old classmates?"

Shi Nansheng chuckled and stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Shuisheng so that he could see him more clearly.

"You...you're a tomboy?! Why did you grow your hair so long?"

Lin Shuisheng carefully examined the other person's bright and elegant face, then suddenly remembered something and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Get lost! If you call me a tomboy again, I'll break up with you!"

Shi Nansheng raised her hand and punched Lin Shuisheng, her face showing a hint of anger.

"Ahem, um, sorry! I just didn't think of that..."

Lin Shuisheng coughed a few times, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"You never thought I'd grow my hair long? You never thought I'd become this pretty, did you?"

Before Lin Shuisheng could finish speaking, Shi Nansheng interrupted him, her two bright eyes fixed on him.

"Cough cough cough!"

Lin Shuisheng was surprised that Shi Nansheng had not only changed her appearance, but also become so direct in her speech, and he choked on his own saliva.

"What? You don't think I'm pretty?"

Shi Nansheng frowned and clenched her fists.

"No, no, no, I didn't say that."

Lin Shuisheng looked at the delicate fist, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he quickly shook his head.

"So, do you think I'm prettier now, or is A-Qing prettier?"

Shi Nansheng lowered her fist and stared intently at Lin Shuisheng.

"That must be A-Qing!"

Without even thinking, Lin Shuisheng blurted out his name.

"Ha! It's definitely not as pretty as theirs!"

Shi Nansheng's expression darkened, and she lowered her head, looking at her shapely figure with a self-deprecating smile.

"What did you say?"

Because the voice was too soft, Lin Shuisheng did not hear what Shi Nansheng said.

"It's nothing, I just remembered when we were in junior high school, Ah Qing sat in front of you and I sat behind you."

Shi Nansheng shook her head, her gaze towards Lin Shuisheng carrying a hint of resentment.

"How dare you say that! Back then, you were always kicking my chair, making it impossible for me to concentrate on the lesson."

Lin Shuisheng rolled his eyes, not noticing what Shi Nansheng was looking at.

After saying that, he saw Shi Nansheng clench her fists again, and quickly changed his words:

"Of course, I don't mean to blame you. Even if you hadn't kicked my chair, with my grades, I wouldn't have been able to get into a vocational school."

"You knew that too!"

Shi Nansheng pursed her lips and clenched her fist.

Actually, the reason she kicked Lin Shuisheng's chair was simply because she didn't want Lin Shuisheng to whisper to Ye Wanqing during class.

"By the way, I remember you got into nursing school, right? Where were you assigned after you graduated a couple of years ago?"

Lin Shuisheng chuckled and immediately changed the subject.

"I was assigned to the city's central hospital."

"Wow! I didn't expect you to be so capable, managing to get assigned to the city's central hospital."

Lin Shuisheng was surprised to hear Shi Nansheng's answer.

In his previous life, after graduating from junior high school and marrying Ye Wanqing, he lost contact with Shi Nansheng. Later, he only heard that Shi Nansheng had married into a wealthy family in Hong Kong.

In addition, at this time, most of the students in the health school were assigned to work in their hometowns. Only a few with good grades and connections could be assigned to hospitals in the city.

That said, what exactly does Shi Nansheng's family do?

Because so much time had passed, he couldn't quite remember for a moment.

"I never expected you to be able to compliment people now!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Nansheng looked at Lin Shuisheng with some surprise.

In her memory, Lin Shuisheng had always been quite ambitious and would not easily admit that he was inferior to others.

And because of this, she has always had a special feeling for Lin Shuisheng.

At the time, she didn't know what this feeling was.

Later, when she heard that Lin Shuisheng had married Ye Wanqing, she realized that she liked Lin Shuisheng. She liked his courage to set lofty ideals and his youthful spirit of daring to do things and fight.

"What's so strange about that? People change!"

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow and chuckled as he answered.

"Hmm! You're selling fish?"

Shi Nansheng gave Lin Shuisheng a deep look, but did not continue to investigate. She turned to look at Lin Chaosheng, whose eyes were shining.

"Yes, yes, we just caught some good catches to sell. Do you have any recommendations, sis?"

Lin Chaosheng nodded rapidly at Shi Nansheng, his face practically crinkling with laughter.

When Lin Shuisheng saw his second brother's lecherous behavior, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face.

Shi Nansheng didn't react in any particular way, seemingly already used to it, and simply pointed to the west side of the dock.

"Brothers, if you don't mind, you can come with me over there and ask if the price is suitable?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chaosheng nodded hurriedly.

Seeing that Lin Chaosheng had agreed, Shi Nansheng turned to look at Lin Shuisheng, then started walking ahead to lead the way without saying anything.

Her slender waist swayed in the air, leaving a very beautiful silhouette.

"Hey, is this girl your classmate? She's really pretty."

Lin Chaosheng followed behind, grabbed Lin Shuisheng's arm, and praised him in a low voice.

"Would you like me to introduce it to you?"

Lin Shuisheng glanced at Lin Chaosheng and made a suggestion without expression.

"Go away, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Lin Chaosheng glared at Lin Shuisheng, looking somewhat angry.

"Whether you know it or not."

Lin Shuisheng gave Lin Chaosheng a deep look, said a few words, and quickened his pace to catch up.

In his past life, his second brother made some money in business, but he also had a lot of affairs.

If it weren't for his second sister-in-law's understanding and righteousness, they probably would have divorced long ago.

"No, explain yourself clearly. What exactly did I do wrong?"

Lin Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, then chased after him somewhat resentfully.

He just glanced at it a few more times, didn't he?

I have to say, young, unmarried women are really beautiful!
