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

Seeing them coming out of the woods, my second aunt breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're out. Go home now, Dad is waiting anxiously. If it weren't for Mom and Second Sister stopping him, he would have come over."

Uncle Xie thought of his old father at home. He would not be able to sit still if he knew it was ginseng. "Okay, I'll drive the tractor right away."

Liu Meilan was about to ride her bicycle, but Liu Yibang put the backpack on the tractor and tried to push the bicycle.

"I'll ride a bike." Liu Yibang didn't want to ride a tractor either because it was too noisy.

Liu Meilan didn't want to either, after all, it was not pleasant to be tractor-sick. "Then you give me a ride."

"Okay!" Liu Yibang rode away on his bicycle, and Liu Meilan jumped on the back seat, "Second uncle, second aunt, let's go first!"

Uncle Xie saw that Liu Meilan was afraid of riding a tractor and shook his head and laughed, "Okay, you go first, we'll be right there."

Second Auntie knew her husband best. Seeing Second Uncle Xie smiling happily, she couldn't help but ask, "Are there really five ginsengs? Are there any that are a hundred years old?"

Uncle Xie nodded, "Yes, it's in the crack of the rocks on top of the hill next to the stream! I never dreamed that there would be ginseng in that place."

Second Aunt slapped her thigh and said, "It's there, I really can't think of it. Then...then how do we divide the ginseng?"

Second Uncle Xie smiled and said, "Although the ginseng is in our forest, it is a forest that we contracted from someone else. The previous owner didn't find it, and neither did we. Meilan found it as soon as she arrived. This ginseng is destined to be with Meilan, so I plan to give all the ginseng to Meilan."

"Ah?" Second aunt was stunned, her face showing anxiety, "Give them all to Meilan? Don't you leave one for your parents-in-law? After all, they are old, maybe..."

"Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly." Uncle Xie patted his wife's arm gently, "That's what I think, but Meilan doesn't want so many. She only wants one hundred-year-old and one fifty- or sixty-year-old. The other hundred-year-old is for my parents, and the remaining two fifty- or sixty-year-old ones are for my brother and me."

Hearing this, the second aunt heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good. Before the child came, I didn't know what to give him. Now that we have the ginseng in our forest and our hazel mushrooms, we can get something."

Second Uncle Xie smiled and said, "I'll get you some antlers when the time comes. As for the mink, I don't think my second sister will need it."

"Okay, I'll go buy it with my dad when the time comes. I guarantee I'll buy good ones." Second Aunt said with a smile, "And bring some good medicinal wine, too."

"They probably can't bring alcohol with them on a plane." Uncle Xie replied, "Don't worry, let me discuss it with my eldest brother before deciding what to send."

"Yeah!" My second aunt put down the basket and sat beside the tractor bucket.

Thinking about ginseng, my second aunt didn't care about the bumpy ride of the tractor at all.

Riding a bicycle, the road was a bit bumpy.

Liu Meilan could only hold onto Liu Yibang's waist tightly, her butt hurting from the fall, "Third brother, slow down, slow down, do you know how to ride a bicycle? You've grown such long legs in vain..."

Liu Yibang was so amused by his sister's complaints, "Liu Meilan, can you please stop talking? This is a downhill road, and it's a dirt road, so it's not smooth. I'm lucky I didn't fall."

The two siblings complained to each other along the way.

When passing an intersection, Liu Yibang was so busy refuting Liu Meilan's complaints that he didn't pay attention and bumped into a carriage.

Yes, it’s a horse-drawn carriage.

The front wheel of the bicycle was broken.

Liu Meilan hugged her third brother's waist and avoided falling.

"I'm sorry!" After the other party took control of the carriage, he hurried over to apologize, "Are you okay?"

Liu Yibang looked up in surprise, "Cao Yuanyuan, why... are you here?"

Liu Meilan, still in shock, jumped off the bicycle, rubbed her sore butt, and looked in the direction her second brother was looking.

Oh, you are so beautiful.

She is very tall, about 1.7 meters, with bright and generous facial features, big eyes, and the typical fair skin, beautiful face and long legs!

Cao Yuanyuan was also stunned. She looked at Liu Yibang and then at Liu Meilan. "Liu Yibang, is it because of her that you rejected me?"

This sentence contains too much gossip.

Just when Liu Meilan wanted to watch the show, Liu Yibang put his big hand on Liu Meilan's head and pulled her behind him, "It has nothing to do with her."

Liu Meilan was anxious. Why didn’t her third brother introduce her?

If he doesn't explain clearly and the other party always misunderstands him, how can San Ge still have a relationship?

Cao Yuanyuan's eyes were red. "At the beginning of our relationship at school, you clearly had a crush on me. Later, why did you keep distancing yourself from me? Even if we are not together, you should tell me the real reason."

Liu Yibang's eyes changed slightly, and finally he fell silent.

Liu Meilan was getting anxious as she listened to this. It was clear that Third Brother was already interested, so why was he not taking action?

Seeing the other party's tearful appearance, Liu Meilan felt a little distressed, but this wooden third brother actually turned his head away and didn't look at him.

Liu Meilan wanted to explain, but this was Third Brother’s private matter.

She could ask in private, but she must not embarrass her third brother in front of other people.

"Liu Yibang, I hate you." Cao Yuanyuan cried, "Your bicycle was damaged, I will compensate you. Where will you stay?"

"No need to compensate." Liu Yibang refused. It was just a bicycle, and he would buy a new one for his second uncle later.

Cao Yuanyuan stiffened her neck and pinched her waist, "Why shouldn't I pay for it? It was clearly me who broke it! I, Cao Yuanyuan, am solely responsible for my own actions, and I will pay for it if I say so!"

Liu Meilan poked her head out from behind her third brother and saw Cao Yuanyuan's cute look with her eyebrows raised, which made her feel itchy.

How could the third brother have the heart to reject such a beautiful girl?

Feeling Cao Yuanyuan's gaze, Liu Meilan grinned, but the woman who was infatuated with love was irrational and glared at her.

Okay, misunderstood!

One didn't want compensation, while the other insisted on it, and they were stuck at the intersection.

There are ditches on both sides and it is impossible to get through.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Second Uncle Xie drove up on a tractor and asked, "Meilan, Xingbang, what's wrong?"

Liu Meilan answered first: "Second uncle, my third brother hit that sister's carriage while riding his bicycle. The other party wanted compensation, but my third brother didn't want it, and they just refused to give in and couldn't get over it."

Uncle Xie didn't recognize Cao Yuanyuan, but his aunt did. She was the daughter of the village party secretary of Caojiatun. "Yuanyuan, you really don't need to accompany her. This is your sister Tianli's aunt's child. We are all family."

From the way Liu Meilan addressed him just now, Cao Yuanyuan could tell that Liu Meilan called Liu Yibang "third brother".

Then...then this is not the object!

They also have southern accents and came here to visit relatives.

Cao Yuanyuan regained her senses, "Seventh Aunt, so she is your relative! I lost control of the carriage just now. I will ask my father to take me to your house to apologize later."

"No need to make so much trouble, it's just a half-used bicycle, right?" My second aunt quickly refused. Isn't it blackmailing to make a fuss out of nothing?

"Yes, yes!" After saying that, Cao Yuanyuan wiped the tears from her face and drove away in the carriage with a smile on her face.

Liu Meilan could hear something strange from her cheerful cracking of the whip and her clear laughter.

"Third brother, you can't run away this time!"

Liu Yibang was a little annoyed and reached out to pinch Liu Meilan's face, "Don't talk too much!"

When Liu Meilan heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "I don't bother to meddle in other people's business! Anyway, the other party is looking for you, not me!"

"Besides, it seems like you have feelings for Cao Yuanyuan, so why don't you make it clear?"

"Children should stay out of the way of adults' affairs!" Liu Yibang said, and put the damaged bicycle in the tractor's bed.

Second Aunt checked carefully, "Meilan, Yibang is not injured, right?"

Liu Yibang pursed his lips, glanced at his gossipy sister, and shook his head, "Second aunt, I'm not injured, it's just that my bicycle was damaged. I'll go to town and buy you another one later."

"No need, it's just a broken bicycle. I've wanted to buy a new one for a long time." Second aunt waved her hand and smiled, "You're not hurt, so hurry up and get on, and we'll go home."

Liu Meilan shook her head. "Aunt, I get carsick when I ride on a tractor. You guys go first. We'll walk back."

"Then I'll accompany Meilan." Liu Yibang said in a deep voice, feeling that it was necessary to have a good talk with his sister.

Second Aunt calculated that it was still half an hour from here to home, not far away, "Can you find home?"

"Yes, I know the way." Liu Meilan replied hastily, "Aunt and uncle, you guys should go back quickly."

"Okay, then be careful. If you take the wrong road, remember to ask for help." Uncle Xie gave instructions and drove away on the tractor.

As the sound of the tractor gradually faded away, Liu Meilan walked while secretly glancing at her third brother.

When Liu Yibang saw Liu Meilan's shifty look, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you peeking at? If you have anything to say, why don't you just ask directly?"

"Third brother, I am worried about you too!" Liu Meilan laughed. "I have always seen you look so calm and composed, but you just lost your composure. You also have a crush on Cao Yuanyuan, right? After all, she has fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. If I were a man, I would like her too."

Hearing this, Liu Yibang glared at her and said, "You are not tall, but don't you also have a big fool like Fu Chen?"

"You were talking about Cao Yuanyuan, why are you talking about me again?" Liu Meilan also got angry. "You can say it or not, I will tell mom when I get home, and you will have to tell her then. I think Cao Yuanyuan hasn't given up, I guess she will come looking for me again. Oh, I really like sisters with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. I don't know whether you two will be lovers, but I want to be friends with her."

Liu Yibang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Liu Meilan, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

"I don't even want to make you angry. I'm interested in Cao Yuanyuan." Liu Meilan complained, "Humph, forget it if you don't want to talk about it. It's as if I really want to hear you talk about it. If you had nothing to hide, you would have denied it directly. You're being weird in front of me, what a stuffy guy!"

Liu Yibang was stunned after being scolded by his sister, "Liu Meilan, you actually scolded me?"

"Yes! Was it wrong to scold me? Do you want to ask mom for justice?" Liu Meilan nodded. It was not like she had just become relatives with the Liu family. She had been so cautious. Now that she had won over the whole family, what else was there to be afraid of?

Liu Yibang shook his head and laughed, "No wonder my second brother said your name is Chang Youli!"

"I was right." Liu Meilan looked up and rolled her eyes. "If you like me, you like me. If you don't like me, you don't like me. You obviously like me but you say you don't like me. If you are asked to explain, you won't tell me. What's wrong with saying that you are a reserved person?"

Liu Yibang looked defeated. "Because Cao Yuanyuan planned to study abroad after graduation, and I would go into politics after graduation. It's not that I couldn't stand a three-year long-distance relationship, but I didn't want to plant a 'landmine' around me."

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned, then she remembered that her third brother seemed to have discussed this issue with her. "So it was this Cao Yuanyuan! Why didn't you explain it to her?"

Liu Yibang shook his head. "Some things don't need to be explained. If I interrupted her plan and she failed to go abroad, she might blame me in the future."

"What if she agrees?" Liu Meilan asked, feeling a little worried about her second brother. Dating is like having no mouth.

Liu Yibang was silent.

Liu Meilan walked forward while thinking.

After a while, Liu Meilan slowly said, "Second brother, I think the disagreement between you and Cao Yuanyuan is not about whether to go abroad or not, and you simply don't like her enough, or you don't have enough courage to face this relationship."

"If you really like her, you will do everything you can to keep her by your side. You will try every means to make her happy and not regret giving up on her, instead of letting her go in the so-called way of not letting her regret it."

Liu Yibang, who had originally had a calm expression on his face, couldn't hold back his emotions anymore after hearing what Liu Meilan said.

"Well, to be exact, I rejected you before we even started dating."

Liu Meilan was stunned for a moment, and finally pieced together a complete story. "Third brother, you and Cao Yuanyuan had a good impression of each other at first, and then there was an ambiguous relationship. Before you could express your feelings, you found out that she wanted to go abroad, and you just quit. You didn't tell Cao Yuanyuan the reason, and you ignored her?"

Liu Yibang's mouth twitched slightly, "About that!"

"Third brother, it must be tiring to like a man like you." Liu Meilan gritted her teeth. She now felt a little sympathetic towards Cao Yuanyuan.

Liu Yibang hesitated, and finally confided, "Actually, I was attracted to Cao Yuanyuan when I first saw her. Just like I told you, she has fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. Cao Yuanyuan has the sense of humor of a Northeastern person, and I am also a young college student, how could I not like her?"

"It's just that I have my own goals in life, and I don't want my planned path to be interrupted, so I...well, anyway, I just saw Cao Yuanyuan crying, and my mind was quite confused."

Seeing her third brother scratching his hair in annoyance, Liu Meilan gloated, "Love is a tormenting thing!"

Liu Yibang could hear Liu Meilan's teasing and glanced at her, "You are also in love, why aren't you tortured by love?"

Liu Meilan was proud and shook her head, "Because Fu Chen and I have mouths! After we got to know each other, we felt that we were both good. He confessed his love, I accepted, and then we fell in love sweetly. It's not like you guys are so roundabout, you obviously have a mouth but you just don't say it, it's like you don't have a mouth."

"Is that it?" Liu Yibang was suspicious.

"What else can we do?" Liu Meilan asked back, "I'm just dating, not going through fire and water, why should I go through so much trouble? We like each other, so let's just date."

"We're just in love, and we'll wait until we're sure we're meant for each other. He'll take care of his family, and I'll convince my family, and we'll gradually solve our problems in life so we can be together."

"You run away when there's a problem, and don't even say anything, leaving people guessing. How can you guess a man's heart, if you don't know how deep it is?"

Hearing Liu Meilan's complaints, Liu Yibang's face turned slightly red, "Actually...actually..."

"In fact, you lack the courage of a man to move forward, and the domineering attitude that she is the only one he can have." Liu Meilan directly hit the nail on the head with Liu Yibang's problem, "You don't even have the courage, so why should Cao Yuanyuan change for you?"

"You think you can find an obedient and virtuous woman in the future so that you can focus on your career. Do you really like her? If the other person can't get into your heart, it's not fair to others!"

"If you don't know how to fall in love, you can at least learn from your parents. They should be very good role models. Aren't they worth learning from? If there is no true love, can they still be as loving as before?"
