Su Tiantian would smile at everyone who looked at her first, then discern whether their smiles were genuine or feigned through their breath, and finally determine their good or evil through physical contact.
Therefore, she doesn't mind being hugged.
Li Meiyun hugged her, and she smiled sweetly at Li Meiyun.
"Oh dear~"
It was well-intentioned; Su Tiantian interacted with Li Meiyun in a cute, childlike voice.
Li Meiyun's lips curled into a smile as she reluctantly held on, saying, "What's her name? She's smiling at me! She's so cute..."
No one can resist the innocent smile of a baby; it makes anyone happy.
"Call her Su Tiantian."
Su Luo smiled and said.
"So sweet, just like her."
Li Meiyun teased Su Tiantian with a smile.
After hugging for a while, they returned Su Tiantian to Su Luo, and then everyone started chatting about everyday things.
Not long after, Liu and Su returned with a cargo tractor parked outside the warehouse, its engine roaring loudly in the quiet night.
Everyone immediately got up and went down to see.
"Boss Su, come and lend a hand to help lift it."
Fish Collector Liu called Su Chenggong, and all of Fish Collector Liu's workers came. The six strong men worked together to lift the fish, along with the boxes, into the tractor's cargo bed.
“You and your sons are all going, right? If you’re going, all of you get on. We’ll have to change vehicles when we get to town. We can’t eat this stuff in town; we’ll have to go to the city.”
Liu, wiping away sweat, addressed Su Chengguo and his two sons.
Su Dahai nodded, and the three of them climbed up and sat down.
Su Dahai said to Liu Xiaohua and the others, "You should go home. You'll probably be back very late tonight, or maybe not at all."
Liu, who was collecting fish, also told his family, "Don't wait for me tonight. Take the children to wash up and go to bed early."
The tractor driver only drove off after everything was agreed upon.
The 'clattering' sound of the tractor gradually faded into the distance.
Li Meiyun sighed, "Everyone says that stuff is incredibly delicious, but it costs several or even tens of dollars just for one bite, and it's eaten raw. I'll never have the chance to enjoy it in my lifetime."
"That's right, we just can't stomach it, but it's so expensive, it must be really delicious."
Zhou Chunmei nodded in agreement.
Li Meiyun smiled and said, "They say it's oily, sweet, and melts in your mouth, but I've never tried it and don't know what it tastes like. Even if you gave it to me, I couldn't eat it."
Bluefin tuna is very expensive, but for food lovers, it is naturally a delicacy.
But for people like them, who can't eat fine food, this delicacy is truly beyond their reach.
"It's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality. We're heading home now. See you another day."
Liu Xiaohua smiled and spoke to Li Meiyun.
The big fish has been sent away, and they should go home now.
"Which jewelry store did you get your earrings made? They're so beautiful. I'll get a pair made for myself sometime."
Li Meiyun pointed to Liu Xiaohua's earrings and asked with a smile.
"It's in town, the one where Old Jin owns his gold shop."
Liu Xiaohua felt her face flush. She had just put it on today and hadn't taken it off yet. She was used to wearing gold, and she felt a little embarrassed about it.
"His products are quite good; they look great on you all. I'll get a pair made for myself later. I won't keep you any longer; see you next time."
Li Meiyun smiled and waved. Hers were earrings, most of which had pendants. These pearl-shaped ones looked very pretty, so she asked one more question.
Liu Xiaohua nodded and led her two daughters-in-law and daughter home.
Liu Xiaohua walked beside Su Luo. It was dark now, and the sea breeze was cool. She shielded Su Luo from the wind.
"How's Sweetie?"
Liu Xiaohua looked at Su Tiantian and asked.
Su Tiantian had been out for so long, and her initial excitement had worn off; now she kept yawning.
"The little guy must be tired from playing."
Liu Xiaohua smiled kindly.
Zhou Chunmei excitedly told Liu Xiaohua, "Mom, you don't know, we saw a dolphin show today! There were so many dolphins, jumping and playing in the water."
Zhou Chunmei felt both excited and thrilled, but her eyes were filled with envy as she looked at Su Luo.
Although I knew the guess was a bit absurd, the dolphin seemed to be putting on a show for Su Tiantian to make her happy.
Remembering that Su Chengguo actually knew about such an expensive fish, Zhou Chunmei decided to wait until Su Chengguo got home and ask him how he knew.
"You're in for a treat."
Liu Xiaohua was naturally envious after hearing this.
"Hehe, our whole family is blessed. It's all thanks to A-Luo's good fortune that she has led our whole family to wealth and prosperity."
Zhou Chunmei smiled gently and took Su Luo's arm.
"A-Luo, let me help you carry her."
Li Xuelai hugged Su Tiantian.
Su Luo felt warm inside, knowing that her whole family cared for her.
These days feel like a dream.
...
Su Dahai and his group arrived in town at 8 p.m. Liu, the fish buyer, had already arranged a large truck. After transferring the fish to the truck, Su Chengguo rubbed her cold kneecaps.
Su Chengguo sighed, "Finally, we've changed vehicles. On that tractor, the icy cold air went straight to my kneecaps. I was afraid I'd develop rheumatism. When I get home, I'll have to ask my mom to make me some nourishing soup with the medicinal herbs that A Luo uses."
He's so young, what will happen if he gets rheumatism?
Fishermen who frequently go out to sea often develop rheumatism and other ailments, which can be incredibly painful. Su Chengguo is still young, and he doesn't want to experience that pain too soon.
“You’re right. I’ll have my wife buy an old hen and some medicinal herbs to make soup.”
Liu, who was collecting fish, found Su Chengguo very interesting. He was generous, frank, and spoke casually, truthfully, and humorously.
"What are your plans after you sell this fish? Are you going to build a house or buy a big boat?"
Liu, who was collecting fish, looked at Su Dahai and couldn't help but ask.
Such a large piece of land can fetch tens of thousands of yuan, which is barely enough to build a house or upgrade to a larger boat.
Su Dahai and his two sons looked at each other. Su Dahai smiled gently and said, "It's still uncertain. Let's talk about it after we sell the fish."
I don't know how much it will sell for, so I won't reveal my true feelings.
But in their hearts, they had already made their plans.
That means getting a bigger ship.
With a bigger boat, we can catch more fish, earn more money, build a bigger house, and give our family a better life.
“That’s right. We should think about it after we get the money. If you want to build a house, I have a friend who’s good at it and can introduce you to him. If you want to buy a big boat, I happen to know someone who’s selling a big boat. Although it’s second-hand, it’s 90% new and the price is tens of thousands cheaper than a new boat.”
Looking at the three members of the Su family, Liu, the fishmonger, cheerfully revealed his plan.
He felt that the Su family had made this money for nothing more than these two things, and since he had a lot of connections, he could help with either of them.
Why was he so enthusiastic? It all started when he saw the little guy. He does business by intuition. He can't outsmart others, but he's lucky. So, as a fishmonger, he's made a good living steadily.
