Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

We all harbor many dreams, and when these dreams fade away one by one, we begin to miss home.

At this time, An Xiaohai was having many dreams, but he missed home so much that he was almost unable to extricate himself from the longing.

"Brother Tian, ​​that's enough, let's stop here. I want to walk around by myself," An Xiaohai said, stopping the car when they were still some distance from Apojiao Village.

"Alright, I have some things to take care of at the company, so I won't go over. I'll come see you in a couple of days!" Tian Qiaoming said goodbye to An Xiaohai tactfully and drove away in his Tianjin Dafa.

Grandma's Corner!

An Xiaohai took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the small fishing village that held all his joy and sorrow.

More than two years have passed, and the small fishing village has remained unchanged. The only change is the villagers' attitude towards An Xiaohai.

In the past, when An Xiaohai returned home for vacation, many people would come up to greet him and invite him to their homes for a meal before he even reached the village entrance. He often found it hard to refuse their hospitality, which used to bother him a lot.

Now, that problem is gone.

The villagers didn't avoid him like the plague, but when they saw him, they would just nod and greet him, no longer showing the same warmth as before.

Well, at least the world is much quieter now.

Woof woof~

Several barks were heard, and then a large wolfhound rushed out from a corner, leaped up next to An Xiaohai, and landed squarely on him, then began to frantically lick his face.

"Stop! Wangcai, stop it! Your saliva is filthy! Get out of the way! Or I'll hit you!"

An Xiaohai twisted his head rapidly to avoid Wangcai's wet tongue, while desperately trying to push it to one side, but Wangcai didn't care and licked even more enthusiastically.

"Wangcai, come here and sit down!"

With a call, Wangcai finally stopped bothering An Xiaohai and obediently ran back, squatting down next to its short-statured owner who had two big yellow snot dripping from his nose.

Wangcai's owner is named Lezai. He looks like an eight or nine-year-old child, but he is actually almost 20 years old. When Lezai was a child, he had a serious illness and almost lost his life. Since then, he has stopped growing and has some intellectual problems.

The people of Apojiao Village secretly call Lezai Silly Lezai.

"Brother Hai, are you on holiday?" Lezai asked, tilting his head.

"Yes, I'm on vacation. When I'm not in the village, is Lezai well-behaved?"

"Lezai is so good! Brother Xiaohai, did you bring me any chocolate?" Lezai loves sweets, and An Xiaohai always brings him some candy or chocolate whenever he comes back. Lezai's favorite is chocolate.

"Oh! No, I came back in a bit of a rush this time and haven't had a chance to buy any yet. But I'll go to the city in a couple of days, and I'll bring you a big bagful then, okay?"

Seeing that Lezai was pouting and about to get upset, An Xiaohai quickly tried to coax him.

"Great, thank you, Brother Xiaohai!" Lezai immediately cheered up, jumping and skipping with joy. All sorts of random things from his pockets spilled all over the ground, and Lezai quickly went to pick them up. Even Wangcai knew to help.

"Boss, this kid..." Kun asked, his eyes darting around.

An Xiaohai gently shook his head and pointed to his head. Kunji immediately understood what An Xiaohai meant.

"Don't bully him, okay? Lezai is a good guy, he's my good brother."

"That's right, I'm fine. I'm best friends with Xiao Hai, you can't bully me!" Le Zai said angrily. There were indeed many children in the village who often bullied him, but An Xiao Hai and the others never did.

"Lok-jai, I won't bully you. Siu-hoi is my boss, and you're Siu-hoi's good brother, so from now on we're brothers too. My name is Kwan-kei, so Lok-jai, you have to protect me from now on!"

"Kwan Kee..." Lok-jai tried hard to remember the name Kwan Kee, not knowing if he could remember it.

Perhaps it was too mentally taxing, because Lezai gave up after memorizing for a short while.

"Brother Hai, Wangcai is really something now! It's even learned to salute! I'll show you! Wangcai, salute!"

Wangcai really listens to Lezai. After hesitating for a moment, it actually raised its paw and put it on its head.

"Look, isn't it amazing!" Lezai shouted happily.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" An Xiaohai quickly gave a thumbs up and burst into laughter.

Wangcai is large and intelligent, and its appearance clearly shows that it has German Shepherd lineage. However, its appearance is a bit strange. Its whole face looks like a big "囧" character, and when it makes this salute gesture, it is inexplicably funny.

After playing around with Lezai for a while and promising him two bags of candy, Lezai happily led Wangcai away, waving back as he ran.

Watching Lezai and Wangcai's departing figures, An Xiaohai felt a deep sense of emotion.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the village this time, only a simple-minded child and a dog welcomed me, and we ended up having so much interaction.

An Xiaohai led Kunji through the entire village of Apojiao, and finally, Pan Zhuangzhuang's familiar little courtyard appeared in front of them.

An Xiaohai's own home was located closer to the sea, on the tip of Apo Cape, while Lin Xuan'er's home was located between his and Pan Zhuangzhuang's homes.

Because Lin Xuan'er's family were outsiders and An Xiaohai's grandfather had some serious problems, they were allocated land closest to the sea when the land was distributed.

To outsiders, the closer a place is to the sea, the better, but this is not the case for the people in the fishing village.

Areas closer to the sea are not only more humid, but also suffer greater damage during strong winds and heavy rains, so they are not ideal places.

If there's a beach, it's a bit better; you can open a small hotel or restaurant and do some small business. But capes generally don't have beaches; beaches only exist in bays, and there's only a rocky beach there.

The closer An Xiaohai got to the house, the slower his pace became.

The feeling of being apprehensive as one gets closer to home is perhaps this kind of feeling.

The door was suddenly opened, and a woman walked out of the house, but it was not Chen Shuifen, but a strange middle-aged woman.

An Xiaohai frowned and quickened his pace to walk forward.

"Ah...ah..."

Grandma saw An Xiaohai in the room. She called out incoherently and rushed out of the room very quickly.

An Xiaohai was startled and rushed over to hug his grandmother. His grandmother hugged him back and burst into tears. An Xiaohai could only comfort her and didn't care about the strange woman.

Grandpa An Zhenhua immediately ran out when he heard Grandma calling him, only to find that it was An Xiaohai who had returned. After a moment of excitement, An Zhenhua suddenly remembered something and managed to hold back from coming over, but tears still fell down his face.

Chen Shuifen came out at this time, and the group was naturally overjoyed.

Chen Shuifen kept blaming An Xiaohai, asking him why he didn't inform the family in advance, but there was no blame in Chen Shuifen's tone, only surprise.

Kunji stood quietly to the side, watching with undisguised envy in his eyes.

After everyone had finally calmed down, An Xiaohai's gaze turned to the strange woman.

The woman didn't say a word from beginning to end, nor did she disturb their family reunion. At the same time, she was busy carrying honeycomb briquettes piled up in the yard into the kitchen. She was accompanied by a four or five-year-old child who was covered in dirt.

"This...this is Afen, her name is Qin Xiufen, her name sounds similar to mine..." Chen Shuifen introduced hesitantly, and one look at her expression revealed that there was more to the story.

"Let me introduce myself!" Qin Xiufen stopped what she was doing, dusted herself off, and said, "I am Peng Yuangui's woman. My husband said you owed him a lot of money while you were in jail, and that you would pay it back to us as soon as you get out."

A while ago, my daughter and I couldn't take it anymore at home, so I decided to bring my child over.

Sister Shuifen is very kind; she let my daughter and me stay here, and it's been two months now.

But I didn't just eat and drink for free; I did all the housework.

Now that you're back, that's perfect. Hurry up and pay back the money you owe my husband, and my daughter and I will leave immediately.

"Yes, Ah Fen is very diligent, hehe..." Chen Shuifen also helped to explain, her expression very awkward.

Damn it...

An Xiaohai was speechless. Peng Yuangui and his wife were both quite eccentric! But it was alright. Judging from Qin Xiufen's appearance, she didn't seem like the kind of person who was particularly shameless. She probably really couldn't make it work anymore.

This is a bit tricky. Having two more people like this in the house is really annoying.

"Brother Hai! Is Brother Hai back?!" A voice called out from outside the courtyard.

An Xiaohai turned around and saw a man wearing a floral shirt, with a slicked-back hairstyle and a face full of menacing features. This man was clearly not a good person.

Just as An Xiaohai was about to ask who the other person was, a black Mercedes W126 came speeding towards him at an incredible speed, with the roar of an engine. It was heading straight for the guy at a very high speed!

The man with the slicked-back hair was startled, but luckily he reacted quickly and narrowly dodged the attack.

The Mercedes braked suddenly and came to a stop. The door opened, and Xu Tianyou, dressed in a suit and with his hair parted in a side part, climbed out of the driver's seat.

"Sorry, I'm a newbie, please bear with me!"

Hey!
