Chapter 204: Harvest of These Years
Tan Shaoyang was so busy that he worked around the clock. He and Zhang Yishui took turns with the driver, and the tractor was running day and night.

There were so many sugarcanes that they were piled up in piles beside the road, waiting to be loaded onto trucks and taken away.

None of them are lazy, no one complains of being tired, and they are all holding their breath, just working hard to make money.

After finishing his work, Tan Shaoyang stayed in the town. He no longer had any thoughts about romance. When he was extremely tired, he had no time to think about it.

That morning, Tan Shaoyang dragged his tired body home. When he opened the door, he heard some noise coming from inside the house.

Tan Shaoyang’s eyes lit up and he had some guesses. He hurried into the kitchen and saw Liu Xiang busy inside.

She was wearing the popular cotton-padded jacket, and the thick clothes covered her graceful figure.

The moment I saw the Human-Buddha, all the tiredness in my body seemed to be relaxed.

Tan Shaoyang put his hands in his military coat pockets and said jokingly, “I used to have a diligent snail girl at home. I said my ears were itchy when I came back. It turns out someone was thinking about me!”

Liu Xiang turned around the moment she heard the voice and saw the burly and strong man. A happy smile spread across her face and she waved at him enthusiastically.
“Third brother, I’ve boiled some water for you, go find some clothes to wash!”

“It’s cold, and you must be exhausted after running around outside all night.”

As he spoke, he took a bucket to fetch water, being extremely diligent.

Tan Shaoyang turned his shoulders and said with a worried look, “I am really exhausted. Baby, do you want to give me a back massage?”

“I feel so stiff all over, and my shoulders are stiff. It would be great if you could give me a back massage.”

As he spoke, there was a smirk on his face. He looked at her lazily, but his eyes were burning.

Liu Xiang felt shy when he looked at her, but still nodded, “Take a shower to warm yourself up first, and then I’ll give you a back massage.” Such a small thing could definitely not be refused.

When Tan Shaoyang saw her shy look, he became distracted and thought that he had to enjoy herself for a while.

The feeling of having his partner rub his back must be different.

I turned around to find clothes and then took a shower.

People in the South have to take a shower every day, even when the weather is cold. Pouring boiling water on the cold body makes one feel comfortable.

After washing, your body will feel warm and more comfortable.

Moreover, my body is greasy and it is often greasy if I don’t wash it. I feel uncomfortable all over when I lie in bed. After a hot bath, all the coldness in my body is dispelled.

Tan Shaoyang went back to his room wearing long johns, long shirt, and a thick military coat. It was cold, and if he hadn’t been wrapped in the coat, he wouldn’t have been able to endure the night.

Back in the room, the mud house is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The windows were closed tightly, so no wind came in. It didn’t take long for me to wrap myself in the quilt and feel warm.

I managed to get through the winter with my strength.

There are kangs in the north, but they don’t have them here.

Fortunately, the cold time is short and it will pass if you endure it.

Liu Xiang was sitting on the bed, covered with the quilt, and it was obvious that she was there to warm the bed for him.

Tan Shaoyang climbed onto the bed, held her in his arms, kissed her soft and tender little lips, and kissed her until she leaned softly in his arms.

“My baby is so well behaved, he is so warm in bed.”

As he said this, he moved closer and pecked at it twice, as if he was not satisfied at all.

Liu Xiang also missed him, and looked at him with a sweet smile without resisting.

Having not seen each other for a long time, they missed each other.

Liu Xiang leaned on his chest, just looking up at him sideways. Her features were still strong, and she spoke in a ruffian tone. Although she spoke without restraint, she really missed him.

She looked at him without blinking, her eyes full of affection, “Third brother, I really miss you. You’ve been busy lately and I haven’t seen you since.”

“Today is Sunday, I couldn’t wait to come here.”

“Didn’t I say I was going to give you a back rub? Lie down right away.”

Tan Shaoyang lay on the bed, “Come on, baby, please hit me with your fists as much as you want.”

It’s typical that someone gets an advantage but still acts like a good kid.

Liu Xiang glared at him, and when she heard his teasing words, her face turned red, her eyes sparkled, and her eyes were bright and brilliant.

Then he raised his hands and gave him a relaxing massage.

Tan Shaoyang had a bright smile on his face, and he felt really comfortable after all his muscles and bones were relaxed.

“Fist focus, baby you didn’t eat, tickle it.”

Liu Xiang bit her lip with a helpless look on her face. Meeting his teasing gaze, she increased the speed of her pounding.

The weather was obviously very cold, but in a moment, it felt warm.

Tan Shaoyang was reluctant to torture his girlfriend, so he pressed on her for about ten minutes before asking her to stop.

She held his soft little hand and said, “That’s enough. Press it again or your hand will get sore.”

As he spoke, he hugged her in his arms, pressed her down and kissed her again.

Liu Xiang’s eyes were blurred and she unconsciously became limp.

Tan Shaoyang contentedly hugged the person and fell asleep.

I have had enough of my pleasures, and now I feel tired and just want to have a good sleep.

Liu Xiang looked at the man who was hugging her without resistance. She stayed close to him and stayed with him. She felt contented even if she just looked at him quietly, as she missed him.

She didn’t open his hands until he fell asleep.

After not seeing him for many days, Tan Shaoyang’s movements were extremely ferocious, and the traces left were most obvious.

Liu Xiang didn’t show any sign of boredom, and a sweet smile hung on her lips.

She was so indulgent to her third brother that even if a puppy peed on his territory, she didn’t show any disgust at all. Instead, she was happy to see it.

Tan Shaoyang was unaware of his partner’s indulgence and slept soundly. He slept so comfortably that he felt relaxed all over.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon, almost evening.

Tan Shaoyang stretched out and slept very comfortably. He felt refreshed and all his energy returned in an instant.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his partner lying on his side, looking at him. His eyes were curved like crescent moons, and his dark eyeballs seemed to be shining with light.

Tan Shaoyang blinked, his consciousness slowly returning, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “Baby, you didn’t go anywhere. You just stayed with me lying there all day?”

“How could I have such a good partner?”

Liu Xiang nodded, “Third brother didn’t want me to leave, so I stayed with you and lay down.”

Tan Shaoyang moved his hand and realized belatedly where his hand was placed. However, his partner was so doting and indulgent that she didn’t even shake him off.

“Thank you, my dear. Aren’t you bored just staying with me like this?”

Liu Xiang showed a shy look on her face and said in a small voice, “I’m not bored. It’s a happy thing to be able to accompany Third Brother.”

It has to be said that this sentence made Tan Shaoyang feel relieved. After all, his partner’s heart and eyes were all about him. Who wouldn’t be happy?

“Get up and stretch your muscles, otherwise you might not be able to sleep at night.” Liu Xiang nodded, and the two of them got up one after the other.

After they had some fun, Tan Shaoyang took them to dinner and then sent them home.

Then there was non-stop busyness, and I was treated like a cow.

Zhang Yishui had a worried look on his face, complaining, “Old Third, it’s New Year’s Day, we have to take a day off.”

“I just got married, and it’s so hard for me to have some time to myself. Please be kind and give me a day off!”

It is true that he can make money, but he just wants to go home and hug his wife to sleep. Some people are like him, who just got married and have to live a vegetarian life before they have enough food to eat!

He worked at night and rested during the day. Every day when he came home, his wife was out of the house, so he never saw her. Even if he wanted to have some fun, he couldn’t find her, which made him feel depressed.

If he doesn’t get another night’s rest, he will go on strike.

Tan Shaoyang nodded. “Look at you. Didn’t you just take a night’s rest two days ago?”

Zhang Yishui stared at him and said in a slapping tone, “You haven’t gotten married yet, so you don’t know how it feels, and you don’t know how anxious I am. You will understand when you get married.”

Tan Shaoyang rolled his eyes. Just because he is not married doesn’t mean he knows nothing. He has been single for a long time!
The object is satisfying, but it’s still lacking something.

“I’ll let you rest for two days, okay?”

In the blink of an eye, it was already 1986.

He was reborn in 83, and a few years passed in the blink of an eye. His life changed dramatically. Although he was very tired, he felt it was worth it. Isn’t the purpose of life to survive?
Being able to survive better is also a meaningful thing.

Everyone takes two days off.

Tan Shaoyang brought his girlfriend home and spent the whole day with her. After he was released, he felt so happy that he returned to the fishing village the next day.

Liu Xiang returned home with a bright smile, but her mother had a worried look on her face. “Xiang Xiang, I shouldn’t have stopped you from marrying the third brother. You may not be able to get married this year.”

“Your grandpa isn’t feeling well. I think he’s almost done. Your dad will be there in the next few days.”

“If your grandfather dies, you definitely won’t be able to get married this year. The third brother is such a capable person, he has so many things to do and makes a lot of money! You have to keep a close eye on him.”

“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have kept you at home.”

Liu Xiang smiled and said, “Mom, Third Brother is not that kind of person, so don’t worry about it.”

“He’s exhausted from working every day, so how can he have the time to bother?”

“We have a good relationship! Your son-in-law won’t fly.”

Third brother loves her so much, how could he bear to see her suffer?

Moreover, he gave her all the money he earned and told her to save it, so how could such a mess happen?

Third brother would never do anything reckless, she believed that he would not be willing to let her down.

“Mom, don’t worry. Third brother has saved all his money for me. He won’t let me down.”

On this side, Liu Xiang comforted her mother, and on the other side, Tan Shaoyang returned to the small fishing village, took a piece of fat meat, and went home to shut the old lady up.

Grandma Tan complained to him for a long time, and she didn’t stop even after seeing the piece of meat, “How long have you not been home? You haven’t eaten well or worn warm clothes all day outside.”

“Come back every now and then so I can nourish your body!”

Tan Shaoyang listened to the mumbling patiently. It was a good thing to have someone mumbling to him. Even if it was nagging, it was a happy thing.

“I was a bit busy and couldn’t spare the time, so I rushed back without stopping. I could have come back yesterday, but your future granddaughter-in-law missed me, so I spent a day with her, which delayed me.”

“What are we having for lunch today? I haven’t had grandma’s fried rice for a long time. Make me a bowl!”

The playful and smiling look made all the resentment of Grandma Tan disappear.

“Everyone is so busy, you are busy, Qiangzi is busy too, and we are getting married soon, so there is no time for us to spare!”

“Grandma Xu keeps talking about it. She’s extremely worried!”

Tan Shaoyang smiled and said, “Qiangzi still has two houses on hand, and this one will be completed soon, and it’s also for the purpose of making money!”

“If he wants to give Sister Qing dignity, he can only work hard.”

“He is now a foreman. He just needs to keep an eye on the people and make sure nothing happens. He doesn’t need to work too hard.”

“They are all strong men. Don’t worry. It’s normal for a grown man to support a family.”

Even though Grandma Tan kept muttering, she still had her stand-in make him a bowl of fried rice with egg, and even used lard made from fertile pork to fry it.

It was fragrant and delicious. Tan Shaoyang ate a full bowl and was extremely satisfied.

Then he lay down leisurely.

There is a pot of fire at my feet and a thin blanket covering me. It feels warm and fluffy. It feels good not to have to go out.

Unexpectedly, just after a moment of leisure, someone pushed the door open.

The moment he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, Tan Shaoyang turned around and saw the extremely beautiful Bai Mei. At that time, he sat up in shock.

“Why are you back?”

Bai Mei walked towards him, sat on his lap, leaned on him, put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the mouth.

“The man has no conscience. If he doesn’t sell fish, he won’t come to me anymore. I have to come to him.”

Tan Shaoyang hugged her and lifted her up, letting her sit safely on a chair. “Hurry up and get up. It will be bad if someone sees you.”

Bai Mei curled her lips, “Are you worried that someone will see it and spread it out, ruining the marriage?”

Tan Shaoyang did not refute. This was the fact. Even if he ate secretly, he had to wipe his mouth. He did not want to make any mistakes and get himself into trouble.

“Sister Bai is not a jealous person. Why are you looking for me?”

Bai Mei asked, “What could I want to see you for? Of course I miss you, otherwise why would I come here?”

Tan Shaoyang: “…” You really understand directly!
“Don’t come to see me anymore in the future. Ask Lao Bai to come to me. Your presence in the village will easily lead to gossip, which can be quite troublesome.”

Bai Mei nodded, “You are really cautious. I will be more considerate of you next time!”

The two left one after the other and ran into Grandma Tan outside the door. The old lady stared at Bai Mei and dragged her grandson back home.

“What’s wrong with you? You’re going to marry Liu Xiang, how can you be involved with another woman?”

“You must not make mistakes or do anything wrong. You must not let down the girl from the Liu family.”

Tan Shaoyang said with a smile, “Grandma, what are you talking about? I’m the big boss. There’s something wrong with Yuzai, and he asked me to handle it!”

“Hasn’t the work stopped? There’s no way to inspect it, so let’s discuss how to solve this problem.”

“Look at how she’s dressed. How could she want someone like me?”

Grandma Tan moved her mouth and held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. “Now that you have pointed out the problem, can you solve it?”

Tan Shaoyang nodded, “We can always solve it by discussing the solution. It’s a small problem, don’t worry.”

“This matter concerns the money-making of many people in the village, so they won’t be eating at home at night.”

After fooling around for a while, he followed Bai Mei away.
