The woman just smiled shyly, unaccustomed to such direct praise.

The little girl sitting next to her looked at her with a smile, her clear eyes filled with laughter.

"23 shrimp, 46 yuan in total." Lin Ziyan took out a ten-yuan note from the cloth bag, counted it out, and handed it to her.

After she finished counting the money, Lin Ziyan gave the chubby girl a look.

She understood immediately, took out her own oxygen supply device, and put it into the small red bucket.

The woman stared at them in astonishment until they were far away before she came to her senses.

"Not many people know their value, so these shrimp species have found a good owner."

She murmured to herself, carefully wrapped the money, and put it into the cloth bag close to her body.

…

After leaving the market, Lin Ziyan and her group headed straight for the bus station.

But the weather turned against us, and it suddenly started to rain.

The chubby girl opened the umbrella, but before she could hold it properly, she was almost blown away by the wind.

"This evil wind, can't it wait until we get off at the station before it gets off..." Before the chubby girl could finish speaking, a loud clap of thunder interrupted her rambling.

Lin Ziyan frowned. It was still several kilometers to the bus station from here. If it weren't raining, she could take an oxcart.

Now, there are only a few people riding bicycles quickly outside, and not even a oxcart can be seen.

She was gazing into the distance when a green SUV pulled up beside them.

"Get in the car." Lu Yunshen sat in the passenger seat and rolled down the window.

He had barely finished speaking when the rain poured down and the wind howled.

Without saying a word, the chubby girl pulled Lin Ziyan into the back seat.

The car window was closed, and the chubby girl raised her hand to wipe the rain off her face.

"Thank you, otherwise we would have been soaked to the bone!" The chubby girl smiled and looked at the two people in front of her.

Lin Ziyan took off her mask. "Thank you."

She spoke to Lu Yunshen without noticing Yang Yanzhou's surprised look.

“We’re just going that way.” Yang Yanzhou glanced at the rearview mirror.

While the chubby girl looked around at the car, Lin Ziyan seemed to have ridden in it many times before, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window.

The chubby girl felt a little awkward and didn't dare to try to make friends with them.

She tugged at Lin Ziyan's sleeve, wanting her to say a few more words.

Lin Ziyan simply patted the back of her hand without saying anything more.

There's no point in them saying anything now. They might as well go back and send a few pounds of shrimp to Grandma Lan's house as a token of their gratitude.

She glanced at the shrimp larvae in the bucket, already planning in her mind how to cultivate shrimp seedlings when she got back.

Lu Yun Shen glanced in the rearview mirror and saw her supporting herself with her hand, writing numbers on the car window.

With her slender, fair fingers, numbers appeared one by one.

Finally, she drew a picture that looked like a rabbit.

Lu Yun Shen stared at the corners of her lips, his pupils darkening.

I really want to know what kind of blueprint she's sketching out in her mind...

Lu Yun Shen was startled by his own thoughts and calmly withdrew his gaze.

Lin Ziyan was unaware that the man sitting in front of her was watching her.

She has already calculated the approximate profit after large-scale farming.

The numbers excited her, and she casually drew a cute rabbit.

I wrote a few words as well.

When the group returned to the fishing village, the rain had stopped.

After getting off the bus, the chubby girl and Lin Ziyan thanked them and hurriedly left with their umbrellas.

In those days, if the villagers saw them, the gossip about them would spread like wildfire to every household the next day.

After Lu Yun Shen got out of the car, he walked to the back window and saw those words: Never forget your original aspiration, and apply what you have learned!

The rabbit drawn next to it looks like it's stamping a seal.

Lu Yun Shen's heart felt as if it had been struck, yet he remained true to his original aspirations...

"Brother Shen, let's go." Yang Yanzhou called out as he took the documents.

…

In the following days,

Lin Ziyan left all the shrimp farm matters to Fatty.

After Aunt Wang took all the shrimp away, the shrimp farm became quiet again.

Lin Ziyan didn't interfere much; the chubby girl would strictly follow her instructions to feed the shrimp, disinfect them, and provide oxygen.

She is currently in her backyard, raising shrimp larvae.

This time, Lin Ziyan was more cautious as she was raising more shrimp larvae than the first time.

She raised these shrimp very well, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Lin Ziyan has been writing a lot of data these past few days, and there are also various problems that may arise.

With everything ready, the chubby girl finally had some free time.

“You’ll be with me this time, and I’ll teach you step by step. In the future, you may need to raise shrimp larvae on your own.”

Lin Ziyan, with a serious expression, handed the notebook to the chubby girl.

"Ayan, do you really think I can do it?" The chubby girl was very nervous. She had raised shrimp with Ayan, but she had mostly just talked the talk and didn't have much of her own ideas.

"Why not?"

"Your strength is doing things exactly as instructed, so have confidence in yourself," Lin Ziyan continued to encourage.

In fact, she had already made various preparations to deal with unexpected situations.

The chubby girl took a deep breath and nodded, "I can."

Lin Ziyan assisted from the side, but she basically didn't say anything unless the chubby girl made a mistake.

Once the chubby girl was ready, the two of them moved small stools and sat by the pool to wait.

"Once the shrimp larvae are harvested this time, we will expand our shrimp farming operations."

"You'll be in charge of managing a shrimp farm then."

"Tell me if you have any problems, and we'll figure out a solution together." Lin Ziyan briefly explained the plan to her.

The chubby girl nodded vigorously, looking nervously at the shrimp pond.

Having had the experience of raising shrimp once, she no longer just stares blankly at the pond.

She has memorized every stage of shrimp farming.

Sometimes, the chubby girl feels that her memory is better now than when she was in school.

"Put on your gloves, get ready to move the shrimp larvae into the pond..." Lin Ziyan handed her the tools.

The chubby girl's forehead was sweating, and her back was instantly soaked. She put on her gloves and began to work.

By the time she put all the shrimp larvae into the prepared pool, she was completely soaked.

"Ayan, it's done?" After the exhaustion, joy spread through her heart.

"Yes, it's done! You're amazing!" Lin Ziyan gave her a thumbs up.

She didn't want to keep this a secret; these are things that everyone who farms shrimp should know.

She understands the principle that it is better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish.

The rain outside has stopped, but the croaking of frogs continues.

The sea breeze rustled, the leaves whispered, and the shadows of the trees swayed.

Lin Ziyan did not stop, and instead recorded the data from this shrimp larvae breeding.

Because the quantities are different, the bait and other materials used are also different.

Based on the data from the previous analysis, we have achieved another breakthrough.

"Fatty, go back to sleep first, come back tomorrow." Lin Ziyan looked up and saw that she was still immersed in joy, and chuckled.

This sense of accomplishment is incomparable to eating a delicious meal or receiving a salary.

“I’ll keep watch tonight, and it’ll be your turn to keep watch tomorrow morning,” Lin Ziyan explained, seeing through her thoughts.

Fatty: "Okay, I'll come first thing tomorrow morning."

Lin Ziyan nodded, sat on a small stool, and began writing her plan again.

Separate the shrimp food.

She would collect anything from the villagers that was suitable for shrimp to eat, such as dried seaweed or water fleas.

This solves the shrimp feeding problem and also provides villagers with an additional source of income.

She listed many baits, all of which were seafood that could be found at the beach.
