"What are you talking about, kid? I didn't save you for a reward. You're being rude to me, Uncle Xia."

"I know, Uncle Xia. Since you told me not to treat you as an outsider, you shouldn't treat me as an outsider either."

"But..."

"Let's do this, Uncle Xia. Xiao Tao happened to be going to the city in the afternoon. Let's feed her at noon. Auntie, I'll help you clean up later."

Mother Xia looked at Xia Donghai. Seeing Fu Chaosheng's insistence, Xia Donghai said something.

"Okay, Xiao Tao's mother, go ahead and do it."

Xia Xiaotao looked back at Fu Chaosheng who was mending the fishing net, and suddenly felt that this young man who looked a little dazed was actually a little cute.

"After you've mended it, uncle, how do you see it?"

Xia Donghai took the fishing net and looked at it carefully.

"Well, not bad. You're smart. You can learn it right away."

"Uncle Xia taught me well."

Fu Chaosheng scratched his head.

"Hmph, you flatterer!"

Xia Xiaotao suddenly said beside him.

"What's wrong with your hand, Ah Sheng."

Xia Donghai suddenly noticed the wound on Fu Chaosheng's hand.

"It's okay, Uncle Xia. I was bitten by the red eel when I caught it this morning."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Although the red eel is not poisonous, it's terrible if the wound is not treated and infected."

Xia Donghai said and looked at Xia Xiaotao beside him.

"Xiaotao, go to the medicine box and get iodine to disinfect Ah Sheng's wound."

After that, Xia Donghai turned around and said to Fu Chaosheng:

"Ah Sheng, you go with Xiaotao, I'll clean up here."

"No need, uncle, I'm fine now."

Fu Chaosheng was pulled over by Xia Xiaotao before he finished speaking.

"Come with me quickly, stubborn donkey."

Xia Xiaotao took Fu Chaosheng into the house, took out a bottle of iodine, dipped a cotton ball in it, and helped him disinfect.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday not to call me Xiaotao? Why did you call me that again?"

"Sorry, I forgot!"

Fu Chaosheng looked at Xia Xiaotao innocently.

"Forget it, whatever you want, I'll be back in the city this afternoon anyway."

Fu Chaosheng came out of the house to help Xia's mother deal with the fish, but was stopped by Xia's mother.

"Your hand is injured, and it's easy to get infected if you touch water. Go out and play with Xiaotao for a while. I'll ask your uncle to help me with these things."

Fu Chaosheng found a bench in the yard and sat down next to Xia Xiaotao when he saw that he couldn't help much.

"What did you do in Jianghai City before?"

"Waiter, courier, insurance, real estate, I've done everything. I graduated from high school, never went to college, and I don't have any education..."

"What's the use of education? I'm a graduate student from a key university, but I'm still just a small assistant."

"You're different, you work for a big company."

"You've heard of Wang Cong, right? He's our manager, and I'm his assistant now."

"Which Wang Cong? You're not talking about the son of Wang Lin, the real estate tycoon of Jianghai Red Lantern Group, are you?"

"Nonsense, who else in Jianghai City is called Wang Cong except him?"

"Why did I hear that guy changed his girlfriend and changed The clothes are the same, you have to be careful around him. "

"What are you afraid of? I'm not dating him. Besides, he's so rich that he wouldn't look down on me."

"Nonsense, if you're like this, nine out of ten men will be crazy about you."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one is a eunuch."

"Hahaha...you can't fool girls with this, right?"

"No, I'm not what you think."

"What about you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Didn't you just say that nine out of ten men will be crazy about me? Don't you? Unless you're a eunuch?"

Fu Chaosheng realized that he had dug a hole for himself and quickly got up.

"I'll go see if Auntie needs help."

"Don't run away? You haven't said whether you're a eunuch yet?"

Xia Xiaotao chased Fu Chaosheng into the kitchen and suddenly found that her mother was staring at her.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up. You're almost 20 years old, and you're talking nonsense."

Xia Xiaotao pouted, not taking her mother's words seriously.

"Here, take the dishes over, clean up and eat."

Mother Xia said to Xia Xiaotao.

"I'll take it, Auntie."

"It's okay, Ah Sheng, don't worry about it. This child has been spoiled by us."

Xia Xiaotao saw that her mother was more polite to Fu Chaosheng, an outsider, than to herself, and she felt a little unbalanced.

"Okay, okay, you two are singing the same tune like a family, and I'm like an outsider."

After saying that, Xia Xiaotao angrily took the plate out of the kitchen.

"Auntie, don't be angry, Xiaotao is just joking with me, I'll help you."

Fu Chaosheng helped, and Xia's mother quickly finished the meal..

"Wow, today's meal is really rich."

Xia Donghai said as he took out half a bottle of Wuliangye from the cabinet. This was what Xia Xiaotao bought for him with her first pay.

After Xia's mother finished her work, she also came to the table.

Stir-fried king clams, steamed grouper, spicy eel shreds, a long-legged orchid crab, a blue crab, and a plate of cold dishes.

Xia Xiaotao looked at the large table of seafood in front of her, all of which were her favorites.

Although Xia Donghai's family has lived by the sea for many years and has seen these things many times, ordinary families like them cannot afford to eat these things every day.

Even if they catch something good, the fishermen will keep it to sell for money, unless it is not fresh and others don't want it, they will take it home to eat it themselves.

"Asheng, can you drink?"

"I can't drink much, Uncle Xia."

"It's okay, accompany me to drink a few sips."

Seeing that Fu Chaosheng can do everything, Xia Donghai and his wife like him more and more.

"By the way, Ah Sheng, you are a northerner, how come you are so good at sea fishing for the first time? Tell me how you dug such a big king clam."

Fu Chaosheng thought to himself, if I tell you, won't my cheating be exposed?

Xia Xiaotao sucked on the crab leg and saw that Fu Chaosheng didn't speak for a long time, so she started to mock him again.

"What can I say? I must have guessed it. A blind cat met a dead mouse."

"Yes, uncle, Xiaotao is right. I guessed it. I met Xiaotao's cousin at the beach this morning. She taught me and I dug it according to her method. Maybe I was lucky!"

"What, my cousin? Which cousin?"

"She said you call her Guizhi's sister-in-law."

"It's her."

Xia Xiaotao muttered when she heard Fu Chaosheng's words.

"By the way, Xiaotao, how was the conversation with the person your sister Guizhi introduced to you last time?"

"Uh, that's it..."

"What kind of talk is this, kid? You should talk to the person properly. If it's not suitable, I'll ask someone to introduce you to someone else. You're already grown up."

"Oh, I know, mom..."

Xia Xiaotao became a little impatient when she saw her mother asking questions non-stop.

"It's all your fault. I asked you to talk about catching fish, but you mentioned my sister Guizhi instead."
