197: Exchange and mutual learning

Zheng Jin suddenly didn't want to wait until evening; she wanted to tell her parents the good news that had recently happened as soon as possible.

She picked up her phone and started calling: "Dad, how are you and Mom doing lately?"

Her dad's voice came from the other end: "Oh, Xiao Jin! Don't worry, we're all fine!"

"I have good news to tell you. My younger brother found a girlfriend here and wants to marry her."

Zheng Jin dropped a bombshell right at the beginning.

"What did you say? Xiao Tie found a girlfriend there so quickly, and he wants to marry her?"

"Is there something wrong with this girl? She must have bad eyesight, right? How could she like him? Is she attracted to his lack of everything?"

Zheng's dad thought his daughter was joking with him, so he started joking back.

A scolding voice from her mom came from the side:

"Old man, how can you talk about your son like that? Why can't my son find a partner?"

"Your son has nothing to be proud of! Ah Jin, is that girl a widow with two children, or something?"

"Hehehe," Zheng Jin couldn't stop laughing, amused by her dad on the other end of the phone.

"Old man, I told you not to scroll through videos. You watch this useless stuff every day, and now you're applying it to my son."

Her mom's scolding voice came from the side again.

"Hahaha, Dad, your son isn't without anything now. He actually has a large villa now."

Zheng Jin said.

"Oh! How many days has it been? He actually has a villa? What's going on, Big Sister, tell me in detail!"

"Hmm, Mom and Dad, listen carefully, I'll explain what happened."

Zheng Jin said,

"That day, Yang Qi's mother-in-law introduced her cousin to Xiao Tie. Later, the two of them went intertidal foraging..."

Only then did Zheng Jin's parents understand the whole story.

"Oh, so that's how it is! Then, logically, this house, this girl also has a share. Tell Xiao Tie that he should give her more cash."

"She's truly a good girl, hard to find even with a lantern. Xiao Tie should try his best to marry her. Tell him about it!"

Zheng Jin also laughed when she heard this: "Hehe, don't worry, I'll tell him."

"But what I wanted to say is this: Xiao Tie just told me that he wants to marry this girl."

"I called to discuss this with you."

Her mom quickly said from the side:

"There's nothing to discuss. Leave this matter to you. Put more effort into it, go visit them to propose marriage quickly, and settle the matter."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I guarantee it will be handled beautifully."

The three of them discussed some details together and finally hung up the phone.

Around dinner time, Bai Dahai and Yang Limin, who had gone to refuel and resupply harvest with ice, returned.

Regarding daily necessities, the two families had already arranged to take turns, one family at a time.

Today, it was the Bai family's turn. Bai Xue and her mother had already prepared everything and were just waiting for them to take it aboard when they boarded the ship at dawn.

At three in the morning, harvest slowly left the dock and gradually disappeared into the night.

Zheng Tie, Bai Xue and her mother, and Chen Lanxin, who were seeing them off at the dock, chatted and laughed as they headed home.

Originally, Chen Lanxin had slept at Bai Xue's house the night before to see Zheng Tie off. Now, no one felt sleepy, so they simply went to Yang Qi's house together.

Finally, Bai Xue suggested, why don't they go fishing at sea themselves? Anyway, there was nothing much to do at home now.

If they didn't like fishing, they could also enjoy the scenery at sea.

The other three immediately became interested and all agreed.

"What about younger brother?"

Bai Xue asked her mom.

"What else can be done? Let him stay home and watch the house himself! Who told him not to come?"

Chen Lanying said as a matter of course.

"Hehe, I'll still call and ask. If he doesn't want to get up, then we'll leave him."

Bai Xue took out her phone and made a call. The phone rang until the last moment before Bai Lang's groggy voice came from the other end:

"Big Sister, what do you want? You're disturbing my beautiful dream."

"I don't want anything. I just wanted to tell you that we're going fishing at sea. You'll be watching the house alone all day today."

Bai Xue said, suppressing a laugh.

"Ah! How can that be? Take me with you! I want to go too. I don't want to watch the house."

Bai Lang immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"If you don't let me go, I'll tell my brother-in-law about your embarrassing past."

"Aren't you supposed to be having a beautiful dream? Go dream!"

"No! Big Sister, I'm getting up now. No more dreaming. You have to wait for me!"

"Alright, we'll wait for you at the dock for 20 minutes. No waiting after that!"

Bai Xue hung up the phone immediately.

Because they had returned after catching a school of Large Yellow Croaker on their last fishing trip, there was still a lot of oil and fresh water on the boat.

So, it was suggested that they bring some staple foods like rice and flour, and just a few vegetables would be enough.

After contacting the ice seller, the group set off for the dock with their fishing gear and a few sun-protective shirts.

Passing through Qingshan Town dock, Bai Xue and Chen Lanxin got out of the car, carrying live fish tanks, to buy two catties of Shrimp.

By the time they arrived at setting sail, the ice delivery truck had also arrived.

Just as the ice was loaded, Bai Lang rushed over in a hurry.

He was wearing a sun-protective shirt and carrying a fishing gear bag. Seeing the eye boogers at the corners of his eyes, everyone knew that he hadn't even washed his face in his rush to make it on time.

This was met with laughter from the others and a scolding from his mom.

Bai Lang had an indifferent expression; as long as he could go out to sea with them, these things were not an issue.

Gradually, setting sail left the dock, traversing through the darkness.

At this time, the sea was still pitch black. Apart from the scattered stars in the sky, only the ship's searchlights provided some illumination.

From a distance, it looked like a firefly flying in the boundless darkness.

setting sail had already been set to automatic cruise mode by Bai Xue, and the destination was a place she and Yang Qi had visited before.

At this moment, she was chatting with her aunt. Her two mothers had already gone to rest in the sleeping cabin at her persuasion, while Bai Lang had long gone to the flybridge to catch up on sleep.

As the two chatted, Chen Lanxin asked about Bai Xue and Yang Qi's kiss.

She asked Bai Xue how she felt at the time and also proactively confessed that when she and Zheng Tie kissed, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body went weak, and she almost fainted from hyperventilation. She also said that she liked this feeling as if she was addicted to it.

Since her aunt had brought it up, Bai Xue also shared her feelings at the time: it was like being in a state of euphoria, unable to stop, and she also almost fainted.

The two novices whispered, dissecting and analyzing their experiences and insights.

The night slowly faded away amidst their hushed conversations, ushering in the first ray of light.

Through more than an hour of communication and mutual learning, both felt that their skills had reached a certain level of sublimation.

They believed that the next time they sparred with Yang Qi (Zheng Tie), they should be able to completely defeat him.

Hehe, I'm so looking forward to it!
