"mom…"
Before He Qingyu could even process what was happening, she heard her daughter's voice and immediately forgot all her previous thoughts.
Lu Qiuying walked to her side and gently put her arm around her shoulder.
"You must be exhausted to come back so late?" He Qingyu tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
Lu Qiuying shook her head, sat down in the wicker chair next to her, took a sip of tea, and then continued.
"It's not hard work."
Xiao Jin followed behind her, "Auntie, it's been a long time."
He Qingyu saw him and nodded with a smile, "Xiao Jin, you went to the port with her?"
Xiao Jin: "Okay, I'll go take a look. I might not have that much time after I take office."
The evening glow illuminated his face, making his deep features appear even more refined and gentle.
Xiao Jin was wearing a simple T-shirt, yet she exuded an elegant and refined air from within.
He Qingyu thought to herself, no wonder Old Man Xiao dotes on his youngest son; none of the Xiao family members have such a scholarly temperament.
She watched Xiao Jin and her son walk out the door side by side, lost in thought.
Looking back at her daughter, she was eating pastries she had brought from Beijing.
"Grandma, pack some out later, I'll take it to Ayan."
“I went to see her this morning, but she had already left early,” Lu Qiuying said, looking at her grandmother.
He Qingyu lowered her eyelashes slightly and took two sips of tea.
Having won over her mother and also captured the heart of her quirky daughter, He Qingyu was increasingly looking forward to meeting the girl.
"Okay, I'll keep it. Ayan doesn't like things that are too sweet, so..." Grandma Lan said with a faint smile, already packing it in a bag.
At this moment,
On the eastern beach, everyone is working hard.
The sun had set halfway down, and the sea breeze, carrying moisture, brought a touch of coolness.
Lin Ziyan, wearing a straw hat, sat to one side.
After throwing the fishing hook into the sea, she sat next to the water pump.
The engine was making a clicking sound in her ears, but she didn't find it noisy; on the contrary, she found it pleasant to listen to.
"Ah Yan, with such a commotion, how can the fish take the bait?" Ah Jian shouted.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the fishing rod moved.
Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow slightly, deftly reeling in her line; a large sea fish nearly broke the fishing rod.
She put the fish into a large bucket, added bait, and continued to cast the hook into the sea.
In fact, she understood perfectly well that now it was like Jiang Taigong fishing—those who were willing would take the bait.
"Ayan, I've paid the bill and given it to them."
They asked, "Is there anything else you need help with?" The chubby girl came running up, panting, and sat down on the small stool in one breath.
"No need, let them go back! Please thank everyone for me," Lin Ziyan said with a faint smile.
The chubby girl simply made a gesture in that direction, and everyone left one after another with their belongings.
Shen Hai moved a rock and sat down next to them. When he saw the fishing rod, his lips twitched. "You can fish like that? What have you learned..."
*Smack! Smack!*
The fish in the bucket thrashed their tails violently, as if slapping themselves in the face as they sank into the sea.
The chubby girl burst out laughing when she saw Professor Shen's expression.
The fiery red sun seemed to have lost all its light, slowly setting halfway down.
Pale yellow clouds interspersed with red were scattered everywhere.
Lin Ziyan looked at the shimmering golden light on the sea, which seemed to form a path leading forward.
"So beautiful!" the chubby girl exclaimed.
Sinking into the sea, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk!"
"The sunset glows and the lone wild goose fly together; the autumn waters blend seamlessly with the vast sky," Lin Ziyan continued.
The chubby girl scratched her head. "Why do you describe it so poetically?"
Shen Hai snorted softly, "You only realize how little you know when you need it!"
"I've taken in all the beautiful scenery!" the chubby girl said, arms crossed.
He choked on the sea.
Lin Ziyan gave the chubby girl a thumbs-up.
The engine continued to clatter, but that didn't stop the fish from biting the hook.
In the end, there were six fish crammed into the bucket...
Fatty and Lin Ziyan left carrying the buckets, with Shen Hai following behind.
After the two entered the Lin family's courtyard, they quickly took a small bucket, filled it with fish, and handed it to A-Jian and Shen Hai.
"Everyone who sees it gets a share!" the chubby girl said, then picked up another small bucket and went home.
…
the next day,
The village party secretary rushed to the Lin family's house.
He had just taken off his straw hat when he saw Lin Ziyan sitting in the yard and breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, the leader had already arrived at the village entrance before sending someone to inform him.
"Ayan, the leadership team is here again," Secretary Qin called out, leaning against the doorway.
Lin Ziyan took a straw hat and put on a long-sleeved shirt before going out.
"Let's go to the shrimp farm," she said casually.
Secretary Qin looked at her suspiciously, walking with his hands behind his back.
The two arrived at the shrimp farm and quickened their pace upon seeing the people waiting at the entrance.
The group of people were all wearing white shirts and black suit pants.
Lin Ziyan spotted Mayor Min Ting at a glance and strode over to him.
"Mayor Min, County Chief Qin, hello, I am Lin Ziyan." She stepped forward to greet them.
"Old Tan, look at the young people these days, their cleverness is something we can't match." Min Ting smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits.
County Chief Qin nodded and glanced at Lin Ziyan indifferently. The young girl was poised and confident, showing no stage fright whatsoever.
"Old Party Secretary, the young people in your village are quite good!" Mayor Min exclaimed, following Lin Ziyan into the shrimp farm.
They've already asked all the questions they needed to ask last time.
This was just a side trip for a follow-up visit.
Lin Ziyan briefly explained the situation of the shrimp farm and introduced the sales volume of fresh shrimp.
Because of the popularity of Mr. Huo's Guangzhou store, many business owners are now ordering fresh shrimp from all over the country.
Mayor Min listened and nodded repeatedly.
