Chapter 192: Being admired by others is all thanks to the help of the third brother

Xu Qiang listened to Tan Shaoyang very much. He went back and discussed with Xu Hai about selecting reliable people from the village to follow and teach them, so that they would gradually become familiar with the village.

In the future, once we need to take on a project, we can arrange it immediately.

Naturally, the two brothers were also respected by their family. After all, in a place that lives by the sea, having a stable job is something that one can only dream of.

All the fresh vegetables and other things at home were moved to the Xu family, and they also showed concern and greetings to Grandma Xu, showing their sincerity.

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t even dare to imagine it.

A few years ago, they were just hooligans strolling around the beach, hated by everyone, but now they are being praised and the villagers are scrambling to get in touch with them.

Such a big change is all thanks to Tan Shaoyang. If it weren’t for his leadership, how could we have the life we ​​have today?
I would never dare to dream like this.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye. After some free time, Xu Qiang said, “Old Third is so good to me, shouldn’t I give him something in return? But I don’t have anything to show for it right now.”

Xu Hai said: “Then prepare some food! The third brother is not someone who cares about these things, and brothers don’t pay too much attention to formalities.”

So they went to the beach and prepared a rich barbecue, including pork belly, rice noodles, and seafood caught at the beach. It was guaranteed to be full and you would definitely eat enough of it.

When Tan Shaoyang was called out, he looked helpless and said, “You guys are making food, can’t you do it at home?”

“The tide is coming in. I wonder if you can move.”

Zhang Yishui said with a smile, “This is my suggestion. This is exactly what we want. It’s so nice to enjoy the sea breeze and eat barbecue!”

“Let’s light some lights and catch some squids. They’ll be delicious if we dip them in soy sauce.”

Ever since Tan Shaoyang taught them this new way of eating, they have been experiencing a different kind of deliciousness.

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, pulled a chair and sat down. He finally relaxed, no longer having to rush, and his whole body felt relaxed.

“Then you guys go ahead and do whatever you want. I’ll just take the blame today, right?”

Zhang Yishui was so excited that he raised his arm and bumped his hand, “Why are you so uninterested? Is it because your partner is not here that you can’t get excited?”

Tan Shaoyang rolled his eyes and slapped his hand away, “I know you’re getting married, so stop showing off here.”

Zhang Yishui smiled so hard that his teeth couldn’t close. “Of course he’s going to show off. He’s going to marry my sister Ting soon. How can he not be happy?”

Tan Shaoyang poked him in the heart without any hesitation, “You are getting married, but the house has not been built yet! Are you going to bring your wife back to the village to live? Or go back to her place!”

“We are brothers. We will miss you when you are not in the village.”

The smile on Zhang Yishui’s face froze. “Third brother, don’t poke my heart. I’m feeling comfortable. You’re just making me feel upset!”

“But I won’t let you succeed. No matter where you live, as long as you have a wife to accompany you, it’s fine. I know you are jealous, because you are not married yet!”

“It’s my cousin’s fault that she’s still young. It won’t matter if she stays at home for two more years. I’m sorry for you. It’s really painful to be able to look at her but not eat her.”

Tan Shaoyang was so angry that he kicked him in the ass, “You are still showing off, believe it or not, I messed it up for you?”

“It was my idea that you could marry the beauty. You are crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. Do you believe that the wife you got can run away?”

You come to show off in front of him, you really need to be taught a lesson!
Zhang Yishui begged for mercy, he didn’t want to have any hidden dangers. Tan Shaoyang was very smart, he didn’t want to cause trouble for himself.

“Third brother, I’m a bad mouth, spare my life!”

All of a sudden everyone was in a mess, with laughter coming one after another, it was very lively.

Amidst the laughter, the skewers were placed on the grill, and the fragrant pork belly had to be placed in the front!

Roasted until golden brown, sprinkled with a little chili powder, the feeling of the oil bursting when you take a bite is something no one can resist!
Tan Shaoyang held lettuce in one hand and pork belly in the other, and stuffed them into his mouth. The taste of the vegetables and the meat mixed together, which not only relieved the greasiness but also gave a different feeling.

Sitting aside lazily waiting to be fed, the feeling of comfort is incomparable.

Looking up at the starry sky, the stars are shining in the endless sea. Faint shadows can be seen, just like a hazy light, making them indulge in comfort.

There is no need to restrain your loud speaking.

Laugh whenever you want, the vast ocean can accommodate everything.

This is the greatest satisfaction in life.

The heart is at peace and the days are leisurely.

Getting together with three or two good friends to eat and drink, discuss the future, and look forward to the future can make people feel comfortable.

“Would you like to drink some wine?” Zhang Yishui suggested, feeling greedy.

Tan Shaoyang shook his head and refused, “See? The tide is rising. If you are not afraid of getting drunk and falling on the beach and being washed away by the water, just drink.”

“At most, someone will help you take care of your partner.”

“Don’t worry. A pretty girl will definitely find a good partner. If you leave, there will be someone else to take your place.”

Zhang Yishui: “…” Thinking of that scene, the scene of being washed away by water after getting drunk, he shuddered and dared not mention it again.

“Let’s grill at home next time. At least we can have a drink to satisfy our craving. Here we can only look at the vast ocean and feel the sea breeze, and we can’t even enjoy drinking a glass of wine.”

After eating it, I felt so sick of it.

The Xu Qiang brothers ran back and came back again.

One is thinking about his partner, the other is thinking about his wife, both are people with conscience.

The only problem is that choosing this location is too much trouble.

After Xu Hai sat down, he said, “When I came here just now, I found that the Gao and Fu brothers sneaked out, turning on the flashlight and whispering. I don’t know what they were doing.”

They still live in a small house, and the house has not been cleaned up yet. It is a mess and they have to go through a lot before they can move in!
Grandma Xu is old and slow.

They are busy at work and have no time to spare.

As for his wife, it was difficult to deal with her being pregnant, so she was left idle.

Tan Shaoyang frowned and was puzzled when he talked about the two brothers. Where did they get the money to buy the boat?

Is it really the savings of two people?
It’s not that he looks down on them, they definitely can’t save that much because they either drink or gamble. It’s a great achievement for them to save 100 yuan, let alone the money to buy a boat.

“I wonder what they are up to? It’s not easy for them to buy a boat for no reason!”

Zhang Yishui said: “You can see how tired I am. I am almost exhausted from running on the sea. I finally have a day off and all I want to do is lie down.”

“They bought the boat half a month ago, but I haven’t seen them catch any fish. This is not right. Who doesn’t buy a boat to make money?”

“Even though they didn’t catch any fish, the two brothers still had no quarrel and were still smiling. It’s unacceptable!”

“Anyway, if I go out and catch less fish, I’ll be upset, let alone not catching any fish at all.”

“If we don’t have goods, we can’t make money. We’ll just starve!”

After listening to this, Tan Shaoyang raised his eyelids and asked, “You never caught it once? Or did they sell it and you didn’t notice?”

He had never paid attention to this matter, mainly because Gao Fu had the know-how in selling fish, and their goods would never pass through his hands, so he naturally would not worry about it.

Zhang Yishui waved his hands and said, “That’s impossible. They don’t even have fishing nets on their boats! How can they fish without fishing nets on the sea?”

“This is the most basic thing, and it’s common sense that everyone knows. Where would the money come from if we don’t fish?” With this said, there is no answer.

Xu Qiang was busy in the town and didn’t really know what was going on. Curious, he suggested, “We’ve had enough to eat and drink, why don’t we go take a look?”

A few people took action as soon as they said they would, packed up their things and left.

After putting the things in a safe place, we headed towards the dock.

The group was moving quite fast and had a clear goal, so they quickly found the place and then saw several bright flashlights.

Everyone was already on the boat. There were quite a few people on it, including several strong men, who rowed out slowly, and no one knew which direction they were heading.

Tan Shaoyang looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes deep, and the memory of being punished slowly came back, “Have you noticed that this scene seems familiar?”

“There was a period of time last year when those who trafficked children had contact with people in the village. They went to Gao Jun’s house for a drink and eventually stole money from his family.”

“Gao Jun’s wife cried so hard that she almost fainted. She said that this was all the money in the family.”

“Now it seems that it is impossible to make so much money in such a short time. Could it be that they have become accomplices with that group of people?”

After Tan Shaoyang’s reminder, everyone remembered.

“That’s true! Could it be that the two brothers have also joined the ranks of child trafficking?”

“I haven’t seen them interact with any children in the village?”

“Ever since you educated them, they have become much more vigilant and cannot be easily fooled.”

Tan Shaoyang said: “Even rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests!”

“Any smart person will not touch people from their own village. This is their capital for survival.”

“What if they are doing a favor for others?”

“It’s too easy for outsiders to be spotted. Only locals can lower their guard. And the fact that they can buy a boat is already very suspicious.”

“Of course, these are just speculations and have not been confirmed.”

“You should pay more attention to see if there are any abducted children around here.”

“Especially Qiangzi and Dahai. You know a lot of people. When you hear about this, be more careful.”

Zhang Yishui said: “Let’s go back first. It’s not convenient to catch up at this time.”

“If he really is someone with bad intentions, we will be in trouble.”

The main reason was that there was no preparation at all. It was most undesirable to be without food in the vast ocean. Moreover, once going out to sea, there would be various problems. One could not go there rashly before being well prepared.

And so, I went back.

It is indeed not convenient to act rashly before the crime is discovered, otherwise it will be troublesome to be blamed, unless you are caught on the spot.

We all live in the village and see each other every day. It would be bad to have too big a conflict.

Xu Qiang yawned, feeling extremely sleepy.

“Go back, go back, and arrest people if you see anything wrong.”

“It’s normal for them to go out to sea at night. There’s nothing we can do even if we catch up with them.”

You can go out to sea as long as the weather is suitable and the sea is calm. As long as you are familiar with the sea area, it is normal to travel at night.

Tan Shaoyang still has to be careful because he has many children in his family and needs to be extra careful in this regard.

When he woke up the next day, he gathered all the children together and told them to avoid Gao Fu’s family when they saw them. No matter whether they were men, women, young or old, they should not have any contact with anyone from that family.

You must be on guard against others, and you must not have the intention of harming others.

It’s normal to be a little cautious.

The children listened to him in the first place, and since their appetites were satisfied, they agreed without any hesitation.

“Uncle San, they say there are a lot of big blue crabs in the mangroves. We haven’t seen any yet. Can you take me to look for them?”

Facing these pairs of expectant eyes, Tan Shaoyang was helpless, “In the past, we had to go to the mangrove forest at night, and the journey was very long. You little brats can’t walk there.”

“Tell your uncle what you want to eat and he will buy it for you. You are still young, so don’t worry about making money.”

Fatty shook his head, “Uncle San, don’t underestimate us. We are very strong now, so we can go.”

“Don’t take these little rascals with you. Just take the eldest sister and the second sister with you. We can all go.”

“Little Shitou has been showing off to us, so we want to experience it. We can’t let him laugh at us.”

As for those who are younger, they are not included in the plan.

Tan Shaoyang said: “Do you really want to go? If you get pinched by a blue crab, don’t cry.”

“And have you mastered the technique of tying crabs?”

Everyone nodded affirmatively, “We can do it. There is no one at the seaside who doesn’t know how to tie crabs.”

Tan Shaoyang said, “Then go back and ask your parents. They will let you go.”

After all, you have to get up in the middle of the night, which will affect the children’s sleep, and they may not agree.

As a result, they said without hesitation, “They promised us to stay in the old house, and don’t go back to bother them.”

Tan Shaoyang was helpless. The villagers really let their children do whatever they wanted. They were very careless and would not care about them at all.

“Let’s do it!”

The older ones conspired and deliberately avoided the younger ones. They played until dark and then took them home, handed them to their parents, and ran away.

The little ones were so confused that they wanted to chase after it, but their mother held them back and coaxed them into stopping.

Tan Shaoyang led them to rest and recuperate so that they could set off again.

He didn’t dare to take the children out alone, so he dragged Xu Qiang along. Everyone went, and they couldn’t avoid Zhaodi!

The man who is going to marry Qingjie in the future, Zhaodi can be considered his child, so it is understandable that he takes care of her.

After hearing this, Xu Qiang agreed without hesitation, and even boasted to them about how awesome they were at catching blue crabs in the past.

As long as you go there, no trip will be without gain.

The children looked at him with sparkling eyes full of admiration, which made him very proud.

Tan Shaoyang felt helpless watching him fooling the children. It was really unique for a grown man to coax children and get a sense of accomplishment from them.

But everyone listened with great interest.

Forget it, let them be!
