1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 258 Which girl likes you?
Lin Baixian was not shy and replied as he walked:
"We'll visit our partner's family this month, and if there's no problem, we should be able to get married. But before this is finalized, Uncle Fu and Brother Cheng, please don't tell the people in the village!"

It didn't matter that he just said this, but Liang Tiancheng almost dropped the whole load again.

"Partner? Which girl agreed to marry you?!" Liang Tiancheng blurted out.

Liang Ziqiang suspected that his eldest brother's brain was on his mouth, with no door in between, so whatever he thought just popped out of his mouth.

After saying it, Liang Tiancheng realized that what he said seemed a little wrong, so he added:
"Ah Xian, that's not what I meant. I meant, which girl do you like?"

Lin Baixian didn't care and shook his head:

"You don't know him, and you won't know him even if I tell you!"

"That's great, Ah Xian. Congratulations! You've been with our Ah Qiang for a year, and it's time for you to find a wife and start a family. It would be great if you could give your mother a baby next year!" After being surprised, Liang's father immediately congratulated Lin Baixian.

"It hasn't been decided yet. It's too early, too early!" Lin Baixian replied.

Before it was completely finalized, Lin Baixian revealed it to them first. Liang Ziqiang felt that the chances of it being successful were quite high and there shouldn't be much suspense.

Of course, it can also be seen that Lin Baixian did not treat them as outsiders, otherwise he would not have revealed it to them so early.

Liang Ziqiang also sincerely congratulated Lin Baixian. In his opinion, the fact that Lin Baixian had found a girlfriend in just half a year at least showed one thing: he had basically let go of Yuan Xiaomei. Even if he hadn't let go, he should have become much more indifferent to her.

Liang Ziqiang felt that having overcome this hurdle was the most precious thing for Lin Baixian.

As they were talking, a few people had already reached the shore and carried all the things onto the boat.

The boat started moving from the county waters towards the village.

The sea breeze blew gently across the boat. Everyone else was fine, except Lin Baixian, whose hair was fluttering in the wind, attracting a lot of attention.

Liang Tiancheng seemed to be uncomfortable with the shaking of the hair, and asked Lin Baixian:
"Ah Xian, your hair was fine before, why do you have this shaggy look now?!"

Everyone on the boat was silent for a moment.

Only thoughts were flying in the sea breeze, even messier than Lin Baixian's hair.

Sheep head...

Brother, how did you come up with this word? It's fine if you just think about it, but you also say it out loud...

But you know what, Liang Ziqiang took a few more glances and thought the sheep's head was quite presentable.

"Brother, there are many people in the city who have their hair permed like this. It's clearly called wavy hair, but how come yours looks like a sheep's head!"

Liang Ziqiang quickly explained on behalf of Lin Baixian, allowing the stagnant air on the boat to flow again.

"Oh, it's a wavy hair? The wavy hair is correct, but it doesn't seem as accurate as a sheep's head!" Liang Tiancheng said after a careful look.

Lin Baixian was a little unhappy:
"Aqiang is right. People in the city call this a wavy hair! And the clothes I'm wearing are all this kind of clothes sold in my cousin's store. All the young people who come to buy clothes from him also dress this way. I think it looks pretty good!"

It seems that Lin Baixian is obsessed with this kind of dress. However, Liang Ziqiang thinks that Lin Baixian's appearance and expression are not bad with this kind of clothes. He is thin, cheerful and unruly, so he doesn't look awkward in this.

If that fat guy Deng Zhaocai were to wear something like this, it would be unbearable to look at...

"Okay, okay, I think it looks good too!" Liang Ziqiang supported Lin Baixian.

The latter was so happy that he offered to give Liang Ziqiang a set of exactly the same clothes.

Liang Ziqiang was so frightened that he never praised the place again along the way.

Liang Ziqiang thought to himself that if he put on this kind of clothes with his strong body, he would probably be as funny as Deng Zhaocai.

"Ah Xian, what is this black lump you brought back?" Liang's father had been looking at the tape recorder and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it's the same as a blue brick! Let me pick it up and see if it's heavy." Liang Tiancheng picked it up directly. Lin Baixian was startled and quickly snatched it back from him:
"What's that black bump? This tape recorder!"

Liang Tiancheng suddenly realized: "Oh, a tape recorder... What is a tape recorder used for?"

Lin Baixian was speechless for a moment.

Liang Ziqiang felt that the scene before him was so familiar. Last August, he and Lin Baixian went to the city for the first time to look for Yuehai Restaurant. As soon as they got off the car, they heard pop music playing on the street.

At that time, Liang Ziqiang pulled Lin Baixian, who was unable to move his legs, away and told him, "Want to listen? If you want to listen, go save up money and buy a tape recorder!"

Then Lin Baixian responded like this: "What is a tape recorder?"

At this moment, Lin Baixian did not explain much to Liang Tiancheng. He simply placed the tape recorder firmly on the deck and pressed a button on the top.

I don't know how loud this guy turned the volume up, but a female voice suddenly came out from the double speakers, drowning out the sound of the boat starting.

"This small town has many stories, full of joy and happiness.

If you come to this small town, you will gain a lot..."

"It looks like a painting and sounds like a song..."

Both Liang's father and Liang Tiancheng were startled. Especially Liang Tiancheng, he squatted down and felt around for a long time:

"This thing isn't that big, how come there are so many songs locked inside? They seem pretty good!"

Father Liang held the bamboo tube and said, "How can it be as beautiful as our fishing songs?"

Having said that, it was obvious that everyone on the boat loved to listen to it, and no one stopped Lin Baixian from singing.

So the boat sailed along the way, and we sang one sweet song after another all the way.

The waves are rippling, and the song seems to give the sea breeze and waves a different rhythm.

Because the volume was loud enough, fishermen nearby were attracted from time to time and looked over with their necks craned.

Lin Baixian told Liang Ziqiang that this "Seagull" tape recorder was given to him by his cousin. His cousin bought a bigger and newer one for himself, so he gave this one to him, along with two boxes of tapes.

His cousin Lin Baixian was quite nice to him, and the fact that he was able to give away his old tape recorder showed that he really made a lot of money doing the clothing business in the city.

He can talk about anything with Liang Ziqiang and Lin Baixian. He also revealed that he met the girl during his time as a helper in the city.

A friend of his cousin opened a small restaurant on the same street as the clothing store, and the girl worked as a helper in the restaurant.

The two stores often visited each other, and after a few visits, Lin Baixian became very familiar with the girl and they got along well. With the help of his cousin and his friend, the two gradually developed into a relationship.

To put it this way, it can’t be considered an introduction. It’s basically the girl that Lin Baixian fell in love with.

In this case, Liang Ziqiang was really happy for him. It seems that if you stay in one place and can't untie the knot, it will be natural to untie it in another place...

"Then you should quickly ask your parents to prepare, and have the parents of both sides meet each other, so that the marriage can be done as soon as possible. Next month, we will go to the sea to do longline fishing together. Oh, and there are also chicken claw snails. I have already delivered the goods to Du Ziteng once, and he even asked why you didn't go. Let's go together next time!"

"Okay! I still prefer to go fishing at sea. I've asked her before, and she's happy to stay in the fishing village with me. From now on, she'll stay at home and I'll go out to sea..."

Hearing him say this, Liang Ziqiang understood that the happy Lin Baixian from the beginning was back.

"Don't even mention longline fishing. I'll have to buy a big iron trawl net to accompany you to the deep sea! Otherwise, you'll be driving a big iron boat to the deep sea. How lonely and boring it will be!"

As he was talking, Lin Baixian's words became unsteady again...
