Chapter 34 Are You Praising Me?
Shi Xia sat down, talked to Dong, and looked at the sea in front.

Wen Cheng'an, who was sitting next to him, moved around like a thorn on his butt, either to clear his throat or to attract attention.

But Shi Xia just ignored it.

Wen Cheng'an didn't need to guess, he knew Shi Xia did it on purpose.

Since you won’t cooperate….then can I cooperate with the head office myself?
"actually--"

"You've made quite a bit of progress, actually. You still need to control your running distance and speed up your pace a bit..."

Shi Xia turned her head to answer, but what she said was not what Wen Chengan wanted to hear.

Shi Xia held back what Wen Cheng'an was about to say.

He gathered all his strength and tried to persuade himself: You won't let me speak? I must speak!
"Let's not talk about running, let's talk about boat tickets..."

"The boat ticket charges are very reasonable. This is the care and concern of the Party and the country for us islanders..."

Shi Xia's eyes sparkled with a smile, and he chattered with his mouth.

Wen Chengan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but when he saw the light in Shi Xia's eyes, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he made her happy for a while.

Two minutes later.

"Shi Xia...actually, I have a sex ticket."

Shi Xia stopped talking.

Wen Cheng'an raised his eyebrows complacently, took out a piece of meat ticket from his trouser pocket and waved it in front of Shi Xia.

Shi Xia's eyes followed the hostage's movements, and Wen Cheng'an smiled in his heart, knowing that this was a decisive blow.

He discovered that Shi Xia had an innate obsession with eating.

"Comrade Shi Xia, can I still speak?"

Wen Cheng'an asked deliberately, and Shi Xia glanced at him.

"You kid... bribed me?"

Wen Chengan hummed, nodded, and asked, "Did I succeed?"

Shi Xia frowned, her face serious for less than half a second before she snatched the hostage from Wen Cheng'an's hand.

"Congratulations, you made it."

Wen Cheng'an looked at his empty hands. This success came so quickly that he didn't even feel happy.

Wen Cheng'an looked at Shi Xia, who was smoothing out the marks on the meat ticket with his hand, and a smile flashed across his face.

Never mind, I wanted to give it to her anyway.

Shi Xia stuffed the meat ticket into his pocket and turned his head to look at Wen Chengan.

"Comrade, please begin your story."

"I got it from fishing in the sea."

"Is it done?"

"Well, it's over."

Shi Xia really wanted to touch Wen Cheng'an's forehead with his hand. In one sentence, he wanted to exchange it for a two-pound meat ticket?

"Wen Cheng'an, don't go out unless you have something to do. You'll be sold out easily."

Wen Cheng'an was not stupid and immediately understood what Shi Xia meant.

"You're not someone else... I mean, who else but you would beat me up!"

Wen Cheng'an's heart beat in panic, and he glanced at Shi Xiashi. Seeing that she had no other expression, he felt a little relieved.

After calming down for a while, Wen Cheng'an stopped talking and remained silent for a long time.

He always felt that there was something wrong with his mentality.

Shi Xia, who was standing aside, had no idea what Wen Cheng'an was thinking. She was happily thinking about what to buy with the two kilograms of meat coupons.
Buy it and make some dish out of it.

The ferry stopped at one station after another and finally arrived at the land port.

Everyone got off the boat one after another. Shi Xia carried the shoulder pole, and Wen Cheng'an carried the bag, and they got off the boat one after another.

"Wen Cheng'an, where is the best place to buy seafood?"

Wen Chengan pointed in a direction and said, "Go over there."

Shi Xia carried the shoulder pole and left, with Wen Cheng'an leading the way.

"We only collect good stuff here. If someone wants to eat it, the price can be a little higher."

"I used to sell them the good stuff I got, so I'm pretty decent at doing business."

Shi Xia nodded in understanding. To put it bluntly, it was a place specifically for rich people to collect things.

Wen Cheng'an took Shi Xia to a black door as if he was familiar with the place and knocked on it rhythmically.

A minute later, a bald man opened the door. "Cheng'an—where have you been?"

The bald man opened the door and punched Wen Cheng'an on the shoulder.

Wen Chengan subconsciously took a firm stance, his body swayed slightly, and said to the bald man, "We're on the island, it's not convenient to come out."

The bald man responded with an "oh", as he had also heard about the Chen family's incident of taking the wrong child away.

"It's good to go to the island. There are a lot of good things on the island, right?"

Wen Chengan moved aside and pointed at Shi Xia, saying, "She has some good stuff."

The bald man looked at Shi Xia and saw that she was a thin girl, so he didn't care much and let the two of them in.

After entering, you pass through a small courtyard, walk through a moon gate, and there is another courtyard.

"Are these all goods?"

The bald man asked, and Shi Xia put down the carrying pole and said, "This is the eel, this is the sea cucumber, and there are also sea urchins and abalone."

"This bag contains dried abalone. If you like it, you can take it first."

As Shi Xia was speaking, the bald man had already called people out to check out the goods.

"Good thing they're all still alive!"

"good."

After inspecting the goods, the bald man mentioned the price.

"Eel is 40 cents a pound, sea cucumber is 13 cents, sea urchin is 8 cents, abalone is 18 cents, and for dried abalone... I'll give you 70 cents."

Shi Xia knew the market price and was quite satisfied with the price offered by Baldy, so he agreed directly.

"The price is okay, but I don't want money. I want some tickets."

"No problem! Wait."

The bald man turned around and went back into the house to get the money. There were other people in the house.

After a while, the bald man came out with a bill and handed it to Shi Xia, saying, "Fifty-seven dollars and eighty cents. I'll give you thirty dollars. Take a look at the bill for twenty-seven dollars and eighty cents."

Shi Xia took it and flipped through it quickly.

"no problem."

After saying this, Shi Xia put his things in his pockets, picked up the shoulder pole, and left.

Clean and satisfying.

The bald man said directly: "If you have any good things in the future, come to me directly. The price will not be bad."

"it is good!"

Shi Xia responded, Wen Cheng'an said goodbye to the bald man, and the two went out one after another.

After the two of them went out, Shi Xia looked at Wen Cheng'an, who was no longer as nonchalant as before.

"Wen Chengan..."

"What? Have you discovered how clever I am?"

The steady Wen Cheng'an disappeared in a second, and it was the Wen Cheng'an who asked for a beating again.

"No, I wanted to ask how many times have you been robbed?"

Wen Chengan's smug expression cracked in an instant.

"How do you know I was robbed?"

Shi Xia raised an eyebrow.

"If a child carrying gold bricks through a busy market doesn't get robbed, it would be strange."

"If you could really make a good living by fishing at sea, you wouldn't be so thin to go to the island."

Wen Chengan lowered his shoulders and said in a desperate tone, "At first, I was robbed, but then they were not smart enough to rob me."

"That bald guy just now knew I was a good diver, so he asked me to go to the sea and find a pocket watch for him. Later, I found it and went to sell it to him."

After hearing this, Shi Xia looked at Wen Chengan deeply.

"Why are you staring at me? It's not good to hit me in this crowd, right?"

Wen Cheng'an said no, but he didn't take a step back.

"Wen Cheng'an, you are a truly remarkable person. Most people who have gone through what you've been through wouldn't just become a shrewd, stubborn, and idle idiot who spends his days wandering around with nothing to do."

Wen Chengan was very touched the moment he was defeated by Shi Xia, but the next moment he asked doubtfully, "Shi Xia, are you praising me?"
