[Chapter 227 Chapter 227 Fishing Boat]
It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning when Shen Yuyao and Cheng Liyan arrived at the fishing village.
Perhaps it was a rare day for family reunion. Not many people were hanging around outside at this time and the whole fishing village was quiet.
The two did not stay in the village, but rode their bikes directly to the beach outside the village.
The broken boat where Xiao Mei was temporarily staying was anchored next to several large rocks on the beach.
At this time, the entire beach was quiet and deserted.
The two parked the car on the side of the road and walked across the beach to the boat.
Cheng Liyan jumped up first, then reached out and pulled Shen Yuyao up as well.
When she came back for the first time, Shen Yuyao didn't stay long, so she didn't take a closer look. This time she discovered that many of the deck boards of the broken ship had rotted.
Be extra careful when walking, otherwise your whole foot might sink into it.
The two men walked to the cabin door and Shen Yuyao knocked on it.
"Who?" Xiao Mei's vigilant voice soon sounded from inside.
"I am Yuyao."
Hearing Shen Yuyao's voice, Xiao Mei was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she heard a rustling sound coming from inside, as if something heavy was being moved.
It took a while for the hatch to be opened.
Xiao Mei poked her head out.
Her hair was fuzzy and it was obvious that she hadn't gotten up yet.
Seeing Cheng Liyan who was also standing outside the door, Xiao Mei looked embarrassed.
She quickly closed the door again and shouted, "Yuyao, wait a moment, I'll pack it up right away."
Although the hatch was only opened for a moment, the couple both saw what was happening inside.
The main reason is that the cabin is so small that one can see the whole picture at a glance.
There was no bed in the cabin, so Xiao Mei slept on the floor. She was embarrassed to open the door because the bedding had not been put away.
Next to the hatch, the two also saw a large reef.
Apparently it was used to block the door at night.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Liyan frowned and did not speak for a long time.
Xiao Mei acted quickly and the hatch opened after a few minutes.
The two men bent down and walked into the cabin.
At this moment, Xiao Mei had already opened the small window in the cabin. The cold sea breeze with a salty smell blew in, blowing away the stuffy atmosphere in the cabin all night, and also taking away the only warmth in the room.
The cabin was no different from the outside at this moment, so cold that it made people want to shiver.
Xiao Mei moved the only small stool in the room to Shen Yuyao, and put a cotton pad on the big reef, motioning Cheng Liyan to sit on it, and she carried a small coal stove in the room and walked out of the cabin.
She talked to the two men as she started a fire with the scraps of wood she had gathered.
"Why are you here today? Why are you running here on New Year's Day instead of spending the New Year at home?"
In the past, probably because of Chen Fei, Xiao Mei and Cheng Liyan were actually a little timid when speaking.
But now that she no longer has this relationship with Chen Fei, she feels more relaxed.
Shen Yuyao said: "I have nothing to do at home, so I came to see you."
Xiao Mei thought about it and realized that what Shen Yuyao said was indeed right. These two people really had no relatives in Binhai.
So she didn't say much, and immediately said with a smile: "Since you are here, then stay here for a while, don't complain about this place, let's have a good meal together!"
The couple came here to spend the New Year with Xiao Mei.
After hearing this, I naturally agreed.
Because Shen Yuyao said last time she came that she would come over during the Chinese New Year, Xiao Mei made preparations in advance.
She specially bought two yellow croakers weighing more than one kilogram from the fisherman's house, and also bought four large prawns.
Xiao Mei prepared lunch. She refused to let the two people help her and made fried yellow croaker, stir-fried shrimps, boiled peanuts with salt and steamed sweet potatoes.
In the end, they even steamed all the special rice for the New Year that they had snatched, filling up a small steel pot of rice, and the three of them had a real meal.
While eating, the three of them tacitly agreed not to mention Chen Fei, but when Cheng Liyan was about to leave, he couldn't help but say something.
He said: "Chen Fei paid three years' rent for the family compound before he left. The only request he made to the division headquarters when he came to the island this time was to keep the house and allow you to move back in. The division headquarters agreed."
Cheng Liyan paused here, obviously he didn't know how to persuade her.
After a while, he continued, "Xiao Mei, I won't try to persuade you about your relationship with Fade Chen. Before I came here, your sister-in-law specifically told me not to mention this to you.
I just think it's not a good idea to leave the house empty all the time, it's such a waste. If you move back in and still run back and forth every day like before, isn't that the same thing?"
The main reason is that the conditions here are really too bad, and it is obvious that Xiao Mei is not safe living here.
Otherwise, who would put a big reef in the house just to block the door?
After hearing this, Xiao Mei did not immediately become angry as she did before in the family compound.
She even smiled.
But her attitude remains the same as always.
She shook her head and said, "Cheng Tuan, don't try to persuade me about this. I can't possibly go back to live here. We're divorced, and Fade and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. How can I live in his house again?"
She stood up, walked to the corner, brought over a large sack, and said, "Yuyao, these are the things you asked me to buy for you. They are all here. Come and see if they are suitable.
For this little bit of stuff, I can pick out all the good stuff in the village. If it’s not enough, you can only wait a little longer. I’ll pick out something suitable for you when I find it.”
Seeing Xiao Mei interrupting like this, how could Cheng Liyan not know that she didn't want to bring up the previous topic anymore?
He sighed in his heart and silently said to Chen Fei, "I tried my best." After that, he said nothing more and walked over to look through the things in the sack with his wife.
The bag is filled with seafood that Xiao Mei selected for Shen Yuyao.
There are dried abalone, large prawns, large scallops, and very good dried cuttlefish and fish glue.
Shen Yuyao bought these to send to her aunt in Haishi.
Although Shen Yuyao has not met her aunt's family since her last trip to Hai City, the contacts between the two sides have never been interrupted.
Aunt Shen would send various things to Shen Yuyao every now and then, including food and daily necessities. Almost any good thing she came across would be sent to her.
I love her as always.
Normally, Shen Yuyao should have sent a New Year gift to her aunt before the New Year, but she really had no time at that time.
But she didn't dare forget this matter, and asked Xiao Mei to help her keep an eye out for good stuff early on.
