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

Fu Chen nodded, "Yes! At that time, I told myself over and over again that Meilan and I were just friends. In the end, I found that my heart was beating very fast."

"Luckily, Meilan is an open-minded person who doesn't mind small matters! Otherwise, I'd probably still be secretly in love with her now! As a good friend, I advise you not to keep saying that we are just friends."

"Because if you say this too many times, you may become less and less convinced by it, but Xiaoyu and her friends and family will believe it."

Qin Ming smiled awkwardly, "Actually, things are not what you think. I have never told you that I have a crush on someone!"

Hearing this, Qin Ming was startled. "Then I suggest you be more cautious. Don't let your secret crush fail and miss your true destiny."

Qin Ming nodded, "I understand, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ming stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette for himself.

After taking a puff, the smell of the cigarette rushed directly into the mouth and trachea, causing discomfort and inaudible coughing.

Qin Ming put out his cigarette. He hadn't smoked for a long time and he was not used to it.

Ye Lingling came back from studying abroad, and they met again and greeted each other.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Qin Ming's parents had already gone to bed, so he came over to open the door.

"Lingling, why are you here so late?" Qin Ming asked in surprise.

Ye Lingling smiled and shook the small box in her hand. "I know you are usually very busy at work. I just saw your motorcycle, so I brought this gift to you!"

Unlike Tang Xiaoyu, Ye Lingling may not be that good-looking, but she has a scholarly air.

She is 1.7 meters tall, very tall.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the expense! Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Ye Lingling replied with a smile, "Are Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin asleep?"

Qin Ming replied: "They have already fallen asleep! Should I wake them up?"

"No need!" Ye Lingling hurriedly stopped him, "It's getting late, I should go back too!"

"I'll take you there!" Qin Ming took the key and closed the door.

Although they are in the same family compound, one is in the east and the other in the west.

Ye Lingling did not refuse and walked in front, but very slowly, waiting for Qin Ming.

"Are you coming back to stay for a while this time, or to stay here to work?" Qin Ming asked. The atmosphere between the two people was a bit weird.

Ye Lingling smiled and said, "After finishing my studies, I found a job abroad. Now China is reforming and opening up, and attracting a lot of foreign investment. Our company also sent people to build a branch in China, and I am now working in China!"

"Even if I go abroad again in the future, it will only be for business trips, not for permanent residence! On the other hand, in the past few years since I left China, I didn't expect the development and changes to be so fast!"

Qin Ming smiled. "As a special economic zone, our efforts in attracting investment and opening up are among the best in the country! The only thing that can be compared to it is the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

"It's changing with each passing day. It's hard to describe it! For example, I usually travel around the city for work. If I don't go there for a while, I will find that the surrounding conditions have changed!"

Ye Lingling nodded. "Yes, tall buildings are rising from the ground, the roads are getting wider, and there are more and more cars on the road. Especially at night, the lights are bright, and everything is thriving, full of vitality."

Arriving at the door of the Ye family, Ye Lingling went upstairs.

When they got upstairs, Ye Lingling opened the window and waved, "I'm home already, go back and rest early!"

"Okay!" Qin Ming nodded, put one hand in his pocket, waved and left.

Qin Ming had just walked a short distance when he heard familiar footsteps coming from behind, somewhat hurriedly.

Ye Lingling hugged Qin Ming's waist from behind and leaned her face against his back. "Before you left the country, you said you had something to tell me. Did you want to confess your feelings to me?"

Qin Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this, "You know everything? Then why didn't you wait for me to finish before leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling quickly explained, "I have prepared everything to go abroad! If you tell me, I might change my mind, so I ran away and told you not to tell me!"

Qin Ming's excited heart calmed down slightly after hearing this, "Actually, it doesn't matter. I can wait for you."

"Now that I'm back, do you want to say what you said before?" Ye Lingling asked.

Qin Ming was stunned. He thought of Fu Chen's words, Tang Xiaoyu, and finally Ye Lingling.

"Qin Ming, you hesitated." Ye Lingling's voice trembled a little. "What happened in the past few years when I was away?"

Qin Ming shook his head. "I was just suddenly surprised. I thought you didn't care. You left without even looking back before I finished speaking."

"I cared then, and I care now." Ye Lingling was very direct. She wanted to come back because she couldn't let go of Qin Ming. "You don't answer me directly now, is it because you have someone you like?"

"No!" Qin Ming replied, "You've been gone for five years, which means more than 1,800 days and nights. You've matured, and so have I. We are no longer as reckless as we were five years ago, nor do we have the courage to move forward."

Hearing this, Ye Lingling shook her head, "You didn't, but I did, so I came back. Because I care about you and can't let you go. If you tell me now that you don't like me anymore, I won't be able to bear it and will have to leave this sad place."

"This is your home, and your parents haven't retired yet!" Qin Ming was puzzled, "Where else do you want to go?"

"Do you still like me?" Ye Lingling asked directly without any more concealment. She eliminated all the hesitation in Qin Ming's heart and slowly made up for the missing five years.

Today she saw Qin Ming taking a girl to eat coconut chicken, and he had also taken her there before.

She cared a lot. The girl was very beautiful and she didn't want anyone else to take Qin Ming away from her.

Qin Ming shook his head and laughed, "I like it. Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied." Ye Lingling cried with joy, "When I saw you this morning, you just said hello. I thought you...you were angry and didn't care about me anymore."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I was busy with work at the time, and there were a lot of people around you, so I didn't want to disturb you."

"But I don't want you to disturb me." Ye Lingling smiled. She left resolutely at that time, and when she came back, she was also enthusiastic.

In five years, it seems nothing has changed, but it also seems to have changed.

Qin Ming returned home and lay on the bed. He was delighted that his secret love was finally responded to.

But in that unknown corner, I still seem a little lost and hesitant.

At six o'clock the next morning, two fishing boats arrived at the shore.

Tang Xiaoyu was waiting nearby, having contacted the porters long ago, and was eagerly waiting.

Forty helpers, fifty each at a time. The price is high, but they are always available.

When Liu Meilan arrives on shore, these helpers can replace the boatmen and move all the goods down.

Usually, only one sailor is left on each ship to help move the cargo, after all, there are many kinds of fish on the deck and in the cargo hold, and the quantity is also quite large.

If you are not familiar with it, you have to look it up and compare, which affects the speed.

Of course, the boatmen’s work is not in vain, as it will be reflected in their monthly bonuses.

Often the two young men, Wu Yong and Zhou Ze, stayed behind.

Liu Meilan drank some seafood porridge and went back to rest. The boatmen finished their meal and went home.

When I woke up, the sky outside was filled with sunset glow.

Liu Meilan sat on the bed, her curly hair fluffy, like a little lion with its fur standing on end.

Tang Xiaoyu came back with two boxes of ice cream, "Want some?"

Liu Meilan's eyes lit up, "I want to eat!"

"It's very hot today, so I guessed you'd like something cold." Tang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Eat quickly, it's summer now, let's go buy some clothes. I haven't used the Fuli Shopping Mall voucher you gave me last time!"

Hearing this, Liu Meilan nodded and said, "Okay, I can't wear the clothes I wore last summer, so I should buy some new clothes. Oh, and Meixiang and Shuhua, Xiangdong's summer clothes."

The ice cream was not big, and even though Liu Meilan took small bites, she finished it in just a few bites.

"Have some snacks first and then go over there to eat." Tang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "I heard the Western food over there is good, let's go and try it."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan had never eaten Western food before, so she went to try what it tasted like.

Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu went out, and Tang Zheng also went out. "Can we leave now?"

"Okay!" Liu Meilan replied, "Brother Zheng, do you want to buy clothes too?"

Tang Zheng nodded, "We need to buy some! Liwen's summer clothes are no longer suitable. I'll go get her some."

"Then why don't you come here with Sister Liwen to go shopping on the weekend?" Liu Meilan asked back.

Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There is a monthly exam this week. With Liwen's personality, she will spend the weekend marking papers, so that she can explain the questions to everyone in class on Monday."

"It makes me sad to see her wearing her old clothes. I bought the clothes and took them back without waiting for her to be free. Anyway, I know her size and she can come back to exchange them if they don't fit."

"Nuannuan is at a growing age and is in the developmental stage. I'll go with you two, and you can buy it for Nuannuan. Don't save money for me, buy good ones."

Tang Xiaoyu reminded, "You can't just buy it for Sister Liwen and Nuannuan, you have to buy it for Teacher Wang too."

"Buy, buy them all!" Tang Zheng said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, buy them for my parents and grandparents too. Xiaoyu, if you want clothes, I'll buy them for you too."

Tang Xiaoyu waved her hand, "Brother Zheng, if I was working at the post office before, I would definitely not refuse you to buy me clothes. Now I make a lot of money myself, so I don't need you to buy me clothes."

"You're being polite to me!" Tang Zheng said with a smile, "Let's buy some new clothes since it's just the beginning of the season."

When Liu Meilan heard that Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaoyu, who were not biological siblings, could be so close, she realized that this must be due to their care for each other in their daily lives.

So Liu Meilan prepared for a big shopping spree this time. She wanted to buy things for her two brothers and sister-in-law, as well as her parents, second brother, and grandfather at home.

By the way, this year there are Zhang Xiufang and Xu Chongyang in the family, so we can’t be without their clothes.

I wanted to give the vouchers to the employees, but it seemed like everyone wanted more money. After all, the clothes in Fuli Shopping Mall are very expensive, and the price of one set of clothes is enough to buy several sets outside.

It is not cost-effective for fishermen with large families.

Therefore, Liu Meilan decided to pay the money when the time came and spend the coupons herself.

Tang Zheng drove and they went to Fuli Shopping Mall together.

Let’s go eat first, this time it’s Western food.

Among Western dishes, the most famous one is steak.

The waiter asked, "How rare is your steak?"

Tang Zheng replied: "70% done."

Tang Xiaoyu didn't know how well done it was, so he followed his cousin's example and said, "70% done."

Liu Meilan blinked her eyes and said, "Perfectly mature."

The waiter was stunned. "The steak may not taste good if it's cooked well. How about we order it medium rare?"

Liu Meilan shook her head. "I don't care whether the steak tastes good or not, but I am very sure that I don't eat raw meat."

The waiter was stunned and looked at Liu Meilan with a serious expression. He thought to himself that Liu Meilan was a country bumpkin, but Liu Meilan's clothes did not look like a bumpkin.

"Okay, please wait a moment!" the waitress responded. After all, she had already fulfilled her obligation to remind.

The customer still insisted and there was nothing she could do.

Tang Zheng smiled, "This is the first time I've heard of someone eating a rare steak! I received a foreign client before and he had a rare steak that was still bloody!"

Tang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this, "Eating raw meat and drinking blood, is this what it means?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Except for some sashimi made from sea fish, I don't eat any other meat raw. I can't change my eating principles just because this is Western food!"

Tang Zheng nodded, "What you said makes sense! Anyway, as long as you eat comfortably and happily, that's fine!"

Tang Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up, "Meilan is really strong! I will try more things I haven't eaten before!"

The three of them were chatting, while Dong Yunyun and Ye Lingling were eating not far away.

One was attracted by Liu Meilai, and the other was attracted by Tang Xiaoyu.

"you know?"

Dong Yunyun and Ye Lingling asked each other in unison.

Dong Yunyun shook her head and smiled, "It's not like we know each other directly, we just met in a roundabout way, and I'm quite envious of each other."

Ye Lingling blinked her eyes. "Who can be so highly praised by Senior Sister Dong?"

Dong Yunyun replied: "Back left, at the table with one man and two women, the one with the blue shirt and curly hair. Do you know the other one?"

"Yes, another girl." Ye Lingling replied, "I didn't expect that women in China are so powerful now."

Dong Yunyun smiled and said, "Times are changing, and the power of women cannot be ignored. This is all normal. You invited me to dinner here, is there anything wrong?"

"Our company came to China to open a branch together with yours. Please take care of us in the future, Sister Dong." Ye Lingling said with a smile, complimenting Dong Yunyun.

Dong Yunyun smiled and said, "You are a local, and you will have to take care of me in the future! As for work, I think it's great that we can help each other when safeguarding the interests of the company."

"Whether my work can be carried out quickly also depends on your cooperation. Sister Ye, if there is anything, we can communicate more and improve work efficiency. I hope we can both make a career."

Ye Lingling raised her glass, "Okay!"

When Qian Kun was inspecting the mall, he saw Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu coming there to dine, so he came over to say hello in person.

"Liu Meilan, Tang Xiaoyu, Mr. Tang, hello!" Qian Kun chuckled and shook hands with them.

Dong Yunyun also saw Qian Kun and raised her glass to greet him, but Qian Kun did not come over and went straight to Liu Meilan's table.

This made Dong Yunyun, who was smiling all the time, very embarrassed, and she almost couldn't maintain her elegant demeanor.
