Chapter 175: Going straight to Longjuling for winter flooding
After saying goodbye to Du Ziteng, the three of them walked out of the restaurant. It is very likely that the next time they come to Yuehai will be next year.

We found a restaurant together to eat something, then went to a nearby department store and went straight to the Xinhua Bookstore.

Liang Zifeng was looking for a book, while Liang Ziqiang and Lin Baixian were waiting nearby. Liang Zifeng spent quite a bit of time in the bookstore, and when he reappeared near the counter, Liang Ziqiang was startled.

Wow, there were so many books that I couldn’t even move them all. I put them in front of the salesperson. There were dozens of them.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. There are six textbooks for each subject, for so many subjects.

Liang Ziqiang looked at the books and found that most of them were only about 20 cents each, and the most expensive ones were more than 30 cents. Adding the ballpoint pens and pencils he bought, the total cost was 8.65 yuan.

Liang Zifeng came prepared, with his head down, counting the money one cent at a time. Since he started working for Liang Ziqiang, he had a small stash of money, although it wasn't much.

When he had counted half of the money he had taken out of his pocket, he looked up and found that Liang Ziqiang had already paid his bill.

Liang Zifeng yelled: "Second brother, you really don't need to come here. I'm not short of money now!"

"Put it away quickly. You will have to spend a lot of money when you sign up for something or go on a long trip. Reading is a good thing. Although I have a headache after reading so many books, I still know that reading is useful!"

Liang Ziqiang was telling the truth. Looking at such a large pile of books was a headache, but Liang Zifeng felt like he had found a treasure.

"Second brother is second brother, thank you!" Liang Zifeng said gratefully.

"Don't thank me yet. Where are you going to hide so many books? There are only so many places in the house. It's probably easy for Dad to find them no matter where you put them, right?"

"Don't worry, I have a place to put it!"

Seeing that Liang Zifeng was confident, Liang Ziqiang did not ask any more questions.

Liang Ziqiang felt helpless when he thought that his father still couldn't change his mind and didn't approve of Liang Zifeng's application. He also tried to persuade his father indirectly, but his father still didn't give in and clearly support Afeng's study.

Liang Ziqiang was thinking, if his father was still as stubborn as he was a few months ago, then Liang Zifeng's books would probably be used as firewood. With so many books, they could cut two less loads of firewood.

I returned to Sham Lo Wan and sailed back to the village. After reaching the shore, I separated from Lin Baixian and went back to my own home.

When he walked to the path near his home, he saw a figure wandering under the tree next to his house. He looked over and found it was Li Liang.

Liang Ziqiang walked straight to the back of the house and asked Li Liang:

"Why are you wandering around here, looking for me?"

Li Liang nodded: "I'm looking for you by the way, mainly looking for Afeng!"

As he said this, he looked past him and ran towards Liang Zifeng.

Liang Ziqiang said, "Why don't you just ask Liang Zifeng if you want to see him? Why bother looking for me?" Then he followed and heard Li Liang said sincerely:
"Just once, Afeng, please help me write this last time!"

Liang Ziqiang was furious at the time and clenched his fists:

"Li Liang, you're itching again, right? Now you dare to stop A Feng from writing that crap for you in front of me!"

Li Liang felt guilty for a moment and took something out of his pocket: "Don't force him, I'll pay him this time!"

Liang Zifeng was carrying books, and when he was stopped by Li Liang, he dodged to the side and warned:

"I can't even learn it myself now, so how can I have the time to write a love letter for you. Besides, Li Liang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but there are plenty of beautiful women out there, so why be alone..."

At this time, Li Liang took out something from his arms. It was a brand new metal-shell ballpoint pen, shining brightly, and a notebook. Liang Zifeng glanced at it and continued:

"Of course, other fragrant grasses may not be suitable for you. Speaking of which, you and Yuan Xiaomei are childhood sweethearts. I am very moved to see you pursuing her for so many years. How many words do you plan to write this time?"

Liang Ziqiang: "..."

Right under his nose, the two men quickly reached a deal.

Li Liang expressed his gratitude and chatted with Liang Ziqiang for a few more words. He did not dare to stay any longer, fearing that Liang's mother would come out with a broom and chase them away, so he left.

Liang Ziqiang was upset: "Ah Feng, you are really something. He forced you to write before, but you refused. I beat him up for you several times. In the end, it's all about a pen and a notebook?"

Liang Zifeng actually had some emotion on his face:
"I used to think that Xiao Mei was such a good person, she should marry a better man than Li Liang when she grows up. But who would have thought that her parents had such poor taste, it would be better for her to marry Li Liang, at least Li Liang is sincere!"

"That's true!" Liang Ziqiang agreed.

The wind blew that night and it was howling loudly, stronger than the previous times, and the rain came and went intermittently.

Chen Xiangbei probably felt a chill in her dream, and couldn't help but snuggle into his arms while she fell asleep.

The first thing they did when they woke up the next day was to search for clothes in the box.

After rummaging around, Liang Ziqiang managed to find two pieces of clothing that he could wear as outerwear, but they were not thick enough and both were covered in patches.

The patterns and colors of the patches are different. They are obviously cut from other discarded clothes. They look like mosaics, which is quite avant-garde...

Because it was summer when he was reborn, Liang Ziqiang forgot that he had been wearing this kind of "patchwork style" clothes in winter in recent years.

Chen Xiangbei was not much better off than him. She only had one piece of clothing that could be worn in winter. Although it didn't have as many patches as his, it was also washed white and wrinkled. This was probably her best piece of clothing. She had more patches left at her parents' home and didn't bring them here.

Liang Ziqiang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had been busy with this and that recently and was eager to make money. It was not until now when he urgently needed clothes to wear that he remembered that he had not yet found a tailor to make them.

The two had no choice but to put on the worn-out winter clothes first.

It's not about whether it looks good or not, the key is that it's too old and doesn't keep warm. Sitting in the hut, Chen Xiangbei would quietly reach out her hand to him from time to time to give him a shake, either to stick to him or just to take advantage of his warmth...

It rained for several days in a row, and he couldn't go to the tailor shop in town to find someone to make clothes for him, so he had to make do with what he had.

After three days of continuous rain, the sky finally cleared up. When we could finally go out, making clothes was no longer our top priority.

Dozens of ships suddenly appeared on the sea which had been empty for many days.

All the fishermen in the village have sensed that after this drop in temperature, the best time for the "winter flood" has finally arrived!
This time, those fish and shrimps that are temporarily staying at the bottom of the shallow sea will definitely not be able to survive any longer and will inevitably begin to move to the deep sea.

This opportunity won't last long, and every day you miss it is a day you miss.

The boats of Liangfu and Liang Tiancheng also joined the large fleet. All the boats gradually moved away and dispersed to look for fishing spots.

Liang Ziqiang also brought Liang Zifeng on board the lotus-patterned boat.

After wandering on the sea for a while, Liang Ziqiang's boat turned and headed straight towards a deserted location...
