Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Meilan hesitated and didn't want to give it.

Professor Xie looked at his father-in-law, "Dad, is there something wrong with the photo?"

Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "No problem. My granddaughter is pretty and has a sweet smile."

Liu Meilan whispered, "That smile is too sweet."

Hearing this, Professor Xie became even more curious and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Liu Meilan has always been sensible and even mature.

This is all forced growth!

It was the first time that Professor Xie saw such a delicate look in a little girl of Liu Meilan’s age.

"Let mom see what kind of photos are too sweet?"

Liu Meilan blushed slightly, "Mom, please don't laugh at me."

Professor Xie nodded repeatedly and assured, "Don't laugh at me, I'll just take a look."

Liu Meilan went into the room, and four photos were brought to her and handed to Professor Xie, "Don't laugh."

Professor Xie took the photo and was very curious. He looked down and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, no wonder your grandfather said these photos are good, your smile is so sweet. Mom also thinks these photos are good."

Liu Meilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, look, my teeth are showing. My mouth is so wide open when I smile. If it's any wider, you'll probably hit my tongue."

“Hahaha!” Professor Xie laughed. “No, I have to tell your dad to get all the negatives of the photos we took that day and have them all developed.”

"Mom!" Liu Meilan's eyes widened. "Are you a devil? You actually left so many ugly photos of me!"

Liu Meilan also secretly regretted that when she was recognized, she was so happy and proud that she forgot to control her facial expression.

Now it’s all caught on camera.

This photographer is really annoying.

In the future, when taking photos in formal occasions, you must be dignified.

But in the eyes of Professor Xie and Mr. Liu, Liu Meilan's shyness is cute.

"It's okay, this photo is great." Professor Xie praised, "It's raining outside now, so it's hard to go to the photo studio. I'll bring the camera over later and we can take photos at the beach."

Liu Meilan couldn't resist, it seemed these photos were destined to be seen by her eldest and third brothers.

Liu Meilan wrote letters to her eldest and third brothers, scratching her head, "Mom, what should I write? Just a few words of greeting, it seems there is nothing else to write."

She can't complain to others. Others can tell her, but she can't say it over and over again.

Every time she said it, her wound would be torn open again.

Not only that, she also didn't want others to think she was playing the victim.

Liu Meilan was very miserable, but she didn't want everyone to know.

Besides, she can now be said to have sailed through thousands of mountains and rivers with ease!

All the suffering has become a thing of the past.

"Just write about your past experiences, your current life, or your outlook for the future," Professor Xie suggested, not wanting Liu Meilan to feel too embarrassed.

After holding it in for a long time, Liu Meilan still hadn't finished writing.

Tang Xiaoyu has a lot of ideas. She will go to the post office to ask Tang Xiaoyu what is the best way to write it!

Just as they were chatting and laughing, Chief of Staff Liu came over after finishing his work.

He saw Liu Meilan's photo and was slightly startled. "I remember that the photos in the internal publications were not like this. Where did these interesting photos come from?"

Liu Meilan was startled, "Dad, isn't this the photo in the newspaper?"

"No, that photo shows a smile, but the teeth are not showing." Chief of Staff Liu couldn't let go of the photo. "It's really interesting! Did Zhang Jian bring it to you?"

Liu Meilan shook her head, "No, Fu Chen sent it to me."

When Chief of Staff Liu heard this, he was slightly startled and cursed Fu Chen in his heart.

This brat!

Such an interesting photo, but I didn’t even bother to send him a copy.

"Oh, I'll print a few more and put them in the album at home." Chief of Staff Liu said with a smile, "I'm taking a break this afternoon, so I'll show you my skills at noon."

Liu Meilan was surprised, "Dad, you can cook too!"

"Of course I do. Most of the time, I am alone in the army. Although there is a cafeteria, sometimes I still have to make what I want to eat myself." Chief of Staff Liu was proud.

Liu Meilan noticed that the wind outside had died down and the rain was not falling as heavily.

"Mom, you like roast goose, I'll go buy some." Liu Meilan said with a smile, "You guys chat first, Grandpa, I haven't written the letter yet. You can send it after I finish writing it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to finish writing before sending it." Grandpa Liu wanted to make his granddaughter Liu Meilan gradually adapt to everyone in this family through such actions.

At the same time, I also hope that the other two grandchildren can know more about Liu Meilan.

After all, the brother and sister have been missing for eighteen years, and they need to interact more often to show more warmth.

Professor Xie saw that there was water on the ground outside and said, "Meilan, no need. We have seafood at home. Just eat whatever you want."

"No, that won't do. Mom and Dad are here, so they need to eat something good." Liu Meilan had already put on her raincoat and went out with a basket.

Professor Xie was pleased that the child was so filial.

Liu Meilan passed by a pastry shop, bought a pack of Buddha's hand biscuits, and went to the post office.

Tang Xiaoyu took a leave on Friday and will be on duty on the weekend.

It's raining today, so the post office is relatively quiet.

Tang Xiaoyu saw Liu Meilan coming over and asked curiously, "Meilan, it's raining, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"I have something to say," Liu Meilan replied, handing Tang Xiaoyu a hot Buddha's hand cake that had just come out of the oven. "Today I have to write a letter to my eldest and third brothers, whom I have never met. I don't know them, and I don't know what to say. I happened to be out buying roast goose, and I passed by your place, so I came to ask you for some advice."

Tang Xiaoyu ate snacks while smiling smugly, "You should have asked me! Liu Yian is more serious, Liu Yibang is more gentle, but they are both cautious in their words and deeds. They are different from Liu Yiwen."

"As for the content of the letter... you can't complain to brothers you've never met. That's inappropriate and not decent. As the saying goes, a man's mouth is soft when he eats. So you can send your eldest and third brothers some delicious food from our Sifang Island that can be preserved for a long time and is delicious."

"Is food enough?" Liu Meilan was suspicious. "After all, they are not children anymore. A little snack will make them feel my sincerity."

Tang Xiaoyu pouted and swallowed the snack in her mouth. "Eating and drinking are the two most important things in life. Even if they don't care about their appetite, what about the people around them? Your eldest brother Liu Yian is in the army and has a lot of exercise. No matter how many delicious foods there are, they won't be enough for his comrades."

"We have processed dried squid, eel slices, fried crispy small yellow croaker, and five-spice flavored ones on our island. We also have a lot of snacks that are delicious. Now they can be vacuum-packed and preserved for a longer time."

"People are soft-hearted. Their comrades-in-arms ate your food, so of course they will envy them for having a good sister. This way, you don't have to complain. They will have a good impression of you, a sister they have never met."

"That way, they'll want to get to know you, and then they'll learn about your experiences from your parents and grandfather. That way, they'll feel sorry for you."

After hearing Tang Xiaoyu's analysis, Liu Meilan was pleasantly surprised. "Xiaoyu, you are indeed a person with an EQ of 210!"

When Tang Xiaoyu heard Liu Meilan's praise, he raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, "Thank you for the compliment! It's just a small thing! If you can't make up your mind or don't understand, you can come and ask me!"

"I know, and I can tell you directly what to do! If I'm not sure or unclear about something, I will ask others to help you find a solution."

Liu Meilan nodded repeatedly, "Xiaoyu is the best! You continue to work, I'm leaving!"

Just as I walked to the door, Liu Meilan turned around and asked, "Are you free at noon? If you are free, come to my house for dinner! I'll introduce you to my parents!"

Tang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. "To meet an elder, you must be free! I get off work at 12 o'clock, and I can be at your house around 12:15! Is that okay?"

Liu Meilan was suspicious when she heard this. "Even if you walk, it won't take you more than 15 minutes! The rain is almost stopping now, and it will only take three to five minutes to get there by bike!"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu glared at her and said, "How can I go to meet your parents empty-handed? Whether it's snacks or fruits, I have to buy some!"

Liu Meilan waved her hand, "No need! We have everything at home, nothing is missing!"

Tang Xiaoyu was firm, "What you have at home is yours, but I can't be impolite when I come to your house. Okay, go buy something!"

Since Liu Meilan couldn't persuade him, she gave up and said, "Okay, I'll leave first!"

Liu Meilan bought a roast goose, which was hot from the oven.

The stall next door also has freshly fried spicy small yellow croaker.

Both the color and the fragrance are very tempting!

If you add a little more salt and sugar to this thing and vacuum it, it can indeed be stored for a long time.

The weather in the north is cold, so it shouldn't be bad.

There are a lot of people queuing up to buy vegetables now, so this is not the time to place orders.

She will wait until the afternoon when there are fewer people and then come back to discuss the price with the boss.

Then take it to a dry goods shop and ask them to help vacuum it.

This afternoon, Professor Xie and Chief of Staff Liu prepared a table full of delicious food.

Professor Xie is from Shanghai and his ancestral home is in Jiangsu Province.

Their best dishes are braised pork with rich red sauce and sweet and sour spare ribs.

Chief of Staff Liu is best at cooking seafood, such as steamed blue grouper, which is both beautiful and delicious.

I went fishing yesterday and harvested a lot of royal clams. I put vermicelli and some seasonings in a steamer and steamed them. They looked great.

The blue crabs are plump and the crabs are homemade spicy.

Seaweed egg drop soup, stir-fried vegetables.

The roast goose and spicy small yellow croaker brought by Liu Meilan are both delicious dishes.

At 12:15, Tang Xiaoyu came to the door with two boxes of snacks.

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

"Hello, Grandpa Liu!"

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Xie, hello, I'm Tang Xiaoyu, Meilan's good friend."

Tang Xiaoyu neither laughs nor talks. When she speaks, her voice is very sweet and her laughter is crisp.

Just by listening to the sound, you can leave a good impression on people.

Chief of Staff Liu and Professor Xie both knew Tang Xiaoyu because of the stupid things that the second oldest child in the family did to him.

The Tang family couldn't openly turn against the Liu family. Although they were angry, they were very restrained.

The only one was Tang Xiaoyu, who was not very old. He brought a small stool and sat at the door of her house.

She kept talking so much that Liu Yiwen was afraid to go out.

She felt ashamed at the time and her face was burning.

The key point is that she actually thought Tang Xiaoyu was right and did not hate Tang Xiaoyu.

"Xiao Yu, just come if you want to. Why do you need to buy pastries?" Professor Xie chuckled and waved, asking Tang Xiaoyu to come over.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.

Now my daughter Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu are good friends, which is enough to prove that Meilan is a smart person.

In addition, Professor Xie also found that Meilan was not only smart, but also simple and down-to-earth, which was not the case at her age.

Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you go further.

What the adopted daughter Liu Yuxin lacks is a sense of steadiness. She has many ideas, but her abilities are simply not enough to support the ideas in her head.

That's just fantasy!

"Aunt Xie, you like water chestnut cake the most. I saw it was for sale, so I bought some. I was young before, so please forgive me if I offended you."

If it weren't for Liu Meilan, Tang Xiaoyu wouldn't have bothered to say all these words.

Professor Xie smiled happily, "You are such a thoughtful kid! You did the right thing at the beginning, you don't need my forgiveness. You and Meilan are good friends, get along well with each other."

"Of course I will. I've already said that Meilan is my half-sister." Tang Xiaoyu said humorously, "With me here, no one in this place will want to bully Meilan!"

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Come on, I made a lot of delicious food today. Eat more."

"Meilan just told me that this is your specialty dish, so I really wanted to try it." Tang Xiaoyu said with a smile, and they became closer with just a few words.

When eating, people are very easy-going and there is no rule of not talking while eating.

Eat and chat at the same time.

Everyone laughed heartily and argued from time to time.

Chief of Staff Liu took a rare break and had two drinks with his father.

It not only relieves fatigue, but also satisfies your cravings.

After dinner, Tang Xiaoyu and Liu Meilan washed the dishes together.

The sun is out and it's not raining anymore.

Liu Meilan followed Tang Xiaoyu out, "It's past dinner time now, I'm going to go to a few stores and order some snacks and fried fish, shrimp and dried fish."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I have the most say in this matter. Just listen to me. Go to Lao Hu's and order spicy dried fish. The five-spice ones are also good. Go to Xu's and order dried squid and eel slices..."

With Tang Xiaoyu's introduction, Liu Meilan knew which shops sold better things.

Some things are available in the store.

Especially if you want to buy eel fillets and dried squid, they are already sealed in plastic in the shop.

Liu Meilan gave her eldest brother and third brother five kilograms of squid snacks and five kilograms of eel fillets each, sealed in plastic bags at a rate of one kilogram each.

If you buy it in the store, the plastic wrapping is free.

If you bring something to seal in plastic, it's fifty cents for a one-pound bag.

Liu Meilan ordered ten kilograms of spicy dried small yellow croaker and ten kilograms of spiced dried small fish.

Come and pick up the goods at 7pm.

Because fresh small yellow croakers will be delivered in the afternoon, they will taste better when fried.

Seeing Liu Meilan carrying a lot of dried squid and eel slices, Professor Xie was curious, "Meilan, why did you buy so much? It will be a waste if you can't finish it."

"I can finish it!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "I have never met the eldest brother and the third brother. Apart from introducing myself and greetings, I don't know what to write."

"They left their hometown to work and study in other places, so they must miss the taste of their hometown. The things I bought are all delicious from our island."

"I hope my brothers can taste the flavors of their hometown even when they are away from home. No matter how far away they are from home or how long they have been away, there are people at home who miss them, hope they are safe, and look forward to their return."
