1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

Before they knew it, it was the next morning.

As dawn broke, Lin Shuisheng quietly woke up from his sleep.

He was startled when he stepped out of the room and saw Zhao Yuzhu standing at the door.

"What...what are you doing standing here so early?"

"Mmm, mmm!"

Zhao Yuzhu pointed to the room and made a shaking motion as if she were holding a baby.

"No, you're really addicted to hugging them?"

Lin Shuisheng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Under normal circumstances, who would like to take care of children?

"Mmmmmm!"

Zhao Yuzhu shook her head, then nodded.

What do you mean?

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuzhu immediately grabbed Lin Shuisheng's hand and, stroke by stroke, wrote something in his palm.

I want to help you.

"you..."

Lin Shuisheng's eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhao Yuzhu's serious expression, his throat becoming dry.

"You really don't need to do this..."

"Mmmmmm!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yuzhu shook her head vigorously and continued writing in his palm:

"Of course!"

After finishing writing, she looked up, smiled slightly, and then ran to the kitchen.

In no time, she came out with a towel, a water cup, and a toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed on it, and handed the items to Lin Shuisheng.

"that..."

Lin Shuisheng reached out and took the water glass and toothbrush, somewhat awkwardly avoiding Zhao Yuzhu's gaze, forcing a smile.

"I never knew you were so caring! Whoever marries you will be truly blessed."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhu pouted, threw the towel at Lin Shuisheng, and then went into his and Ye Wanqing's room without looking back.

"Hey! You're still getting angry with me!"

Lin Shuisheng hurriedly took the towel, looking at the door that had been closed again with a displeased expression.

It's true, this little girl and her baby are doing it for her own good, but she doesn't appreciate it at all.

It's a new society now. Wouldn't it be better to help out here for a few years, save up some dowry, and then marry into a good family?

Does one have to be a concubine?

What's the point?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out Zhao Yuzhu's thought process.

He and Ye Wanqing had already made things very clear, and he even gave Zhao Yuzhu the title of "aunt," all so that Zhao Yuzhu wouldn't feel indebted to them.

But Zhao Yuzhu seemed not to understand, and still harbored some wicked intentions.

What exactly went wrong?

Soon after Lin Shuisheng finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, the rest of the family members also came out of their rooms one after another.

Some people were busy making breakfast in the kitchen, some were busy checking the fruit that had already been packed into baskets, and others were carefully arranging it.

"Second brother, doesn't it hurt to use so much hair mousse?"

"Go away, I spent over ten dollars on this. It smells good, feels smooth, and makes you look great. You don't know anything."

"Fine, I'm a country bumpkin, okay!"

Lin Shuisheng rolled his eyes silently as he looked at Lin Chaosheng's shiny hair, then picked up a basket of fruit and walked toward the gate.

As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the burly figure standing in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, he recognized the other person as Lin Yaotang's mentally challenged son, Lin Xiangming, and a slightly speechless expression appeared on his face.

"Brother Ming, why didn't you say hello when you arrived?"

"Hehe! Dad told me not to make noise."

Lin Xiangming scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow and hurriedly looked towards the door, just in time to see a slightly hunched figure disappearing into the alleyway.

This made his expression freeze slightly, and then he grabbed Lin Xiangming's arm.

"Please come in first!"

"Um!"

Lin Xiangming nodded vigorously and obediently followed Lin Shuisheng into the front hall.

"Hey! Ah Ming, you're here!"

"Brother Ming, have you grown taller again?"

"Amin, have you had breakfast yet? If not, we can eat something together at home later."

When Lin Xiangming arrived, his family members were not surprised at all and greeted him warmly.

The most lively Lin Shuixian even ran up to him and gestured with her hands to compare their heights with a look of surprise, making him lower his head shyly.

When Chen Xiurong came forward and kindly invited him to have breakfast, he suddenly looked up and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat. Dad said I can't eat."

"Your dad also said you have to listen to me. Are you going to listen now?"

Lin Shuisheng walked over and looked at Lin Xiangming with a stern face.

"I'll be good!"

Lin Xiangming nodded emphatically without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, then have breakfast with me."

Lin Shuisheng smirked, pulled Lin Xiangming into the hall, and pressed him down next to the dining table.

Lin Xiangming sat in the chair, staring blankly at Lin Shuisheng, seemingly still not understanding what had happened.

It wasn't until Li Chanjuan and Lin Shuixian brought up a bowl of white porridge that he suddenly realized what was happening and tried to stand up.

However, he had only stood halfway when Lin Shuisheng pressed down on his shoulder.

"Listen to me, sit down and eat."

"No..."

"If you don't listen to me, go back home."

"oh!"

"Here, take this big bowl. You can have more if it's not enough."

Seeing Lin Xiangming's aggrieved expression, Lin Shuisheng suppressed a laugh and served him a large bowl of white porridge.

"My father will scold me if he finds out!"

Lin Xiangming glanced at the white porridge, then at Lin Shuisheng, lowered his head, and kept rubbing his trouser leg with his hand.

"It's okay. If he scolds you, just say that I told you to eat it."

Lin Shuisheng patted Lin Xiangming on the shoulder and softly offered a word of comfort.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangming immediately raised his head to look at Lin Shuisheng, his eyes shining slightly.

"Eat quickly! You still have work to do after you finish eating!"

Lin Shuisheng smiled slightly and handed Lin Xiangming a pair of chopsticks.

"Okay, I'll definitely help you with the work."

Lin Xiangming straightened his chest and nodded earnestly.

After saying that, he reached for the chopsticks, picked up the rice bowl, and gulped down the rice.

In no time, more than half of that large bowl of white porridge had disappeared.

Seeing this, Lin Shuisheng's eyes twitched slightly, then he picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of salted fish on Lin Xiangming's plate.

"hey-hey!"

Lin Xiangming saw the salted fish in the bowl, grinned foolishly at Lin Shuisheng, and then buried his head back to continue eating.

"Hey, Ah Shui, why don't you have your dad come to town with you later?"

After a while, Chen Xiurong leaned close to Lin Shuisheng's ear with some concern and whispered her suggestion.

"No need, the typhoon is coming soon. Dad will stay home and take you to reinforce the fish sheds by the sea. As for selling fruit in town, Ah Ming and I will be fine."

Lin Shuisheng shook his head and replied, then quickly finished his breakfast and prepared to carry the baskets of inspected fruit to Dongshan Aotou with a shoulder pole.

As for why they didn't use bicycles to transport the fruit, it's partly because it's too inefficient, and partly because the roads in the village are uneven, which would easily damage the fruit.

"Oh, right, Ah Shui, after you finish your business in town, don't forget to tell Ah Ling at school to be careful of the typhoon, prepare well for the exam, and not run around."
