Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 518: 518 advice

Feng Shanshan figured it out and felt much better. The fear from before was gone, actually, as long as you don’t say anything and don’t slip up, what could happen?

I’m not the type who can’t sit still or has to be different. There’s still an alarm bell ringing in my heart; everything will be fine.

When Su Yuanyuan got home, she saw the three children playing with water.

Tan Shaoting had already prepared the water for her. So she went to take a bath.

After coming out, she saw the three children still playing, ”You’ll be setting out to sea in two hours, are you planning to sleep on the boat and waste such a good opportunity?”

Now, the three stopped playing and stood up. Su Yuanyuan glared at Tan Shaoting; this guy spoils the children too much. They’re still young, what do they know?

The whole family lay on the kang bed, but the three children were too excited to fall asleep.

Su Yuanyuan ignored them and just let them be rambunctious.

By nine, the children were still awake. Tan Shaoting helplessly picked up a bag with a change of clothes and some food for each of them. They were going on an adventure, so this was necessary.

Su Yuanyuan got up to see the four of them off and saw four people waiting for them outside.

”Goodbye, Mom.” The three children waved and smiled at Su Yuanyuan.

Su Yuanyuan only went inside after they were out of sight.

She was the only one left at home. So she entered her space, and since practicing cultivation, this comfortable feeling had become even more apparent.

Lying on her big bed, it felt so wonderful. She fell asleep in no time.

Tan Shaoting led the three children and chatted with the four people as they walked.

The three children were sweet talkers, so the four people were willing to chat with them, not dismissing them as mere kids.

”Uncle, why are you taking this small boat?”

”Because there are you three little kids. The fishing boats are quite far from the shore. We can swim there, but you’ll need to sit on this.”

Qi Yan touched the small boat and found it particularly fun.

At the shore, Tan Shaoting carried the three children onto the boat, and personally pulled the small boat himself.

This was the children’s first time on a boat, and they found it especially interesting. They were very excited.

Tan Shaoting didn’t actually know how to swim, but that didn’t pose a problem for him.

When they reached the big boat, Tan Shaoting let the four climb up first, then had his daughter sit on his shoulders, carrying his sons in each arm as he climbed aboard.

The four people watched Tan Shaoting’s movements with surprise, this young man really was capable.

Once on the boat, the three children were fascinated by everything they saw.

Today is the fifteenth, not a good day; it’s the day the Ghost Gate is wide open, something Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting didn’t know.

When the four men boarded the boat, they held a very reverent ritual.

The father and sons found it quite novel but didn’t make a sound.

It wasn’t until the boat set off that they gasped in awe.

”Dad, this big boat is so much better than the small one from earlier.”

Tan Shaoting’s clothes were wet, but in a short while, they felt dry.

Seeing the children so happy made him happy too.

The three children were constantly asking ”why” and ”what’s that?” Their mouths couldn’t stay quiet, and they didn’t sleep, instead being particularly lively.

”Xiao Tan, today the waters are calm. We should be able to catch good stuff.”

”Uncle, what’s the good stuff?”

”It’s undetermined; we’ll know once we drop the net in the deep waters.”

”Uncle, is dropping the net fun?”

”It’s not for fun. You guys just watch from the side.”

This made the three children even more eager to see the net being cast.

The fishing boat ran on diesel, so it was quite fast.

But it still took over two hours before it stopped.

Once on the boat, the feeling was different. It went from riding the waves to rocking gently, which the children found amusing.

Tan Shaoting liked seeing the children this way; it was a father’s responsibility.

The three little ones stood mindfully aside watching the uncles handle the nets.

”Dad, how do you drop such a big net into the water?” Qi Yan asked curiously.

”Dad doesn’t know either. Let’s watch patiently. Do you see? Any profession requires specialized people. Look at the four uncles; the net seems too big to us, but they handle it effortlessly. That’s their expertise.”

Tan Shaoting laughed after he finished speaking. They’re still young; what can they really understand?

The four of them worked together to cast the net. ”Little ones, as we drive the boat pulling the net, you’ll feel it. Sometimes if we catch something big, we can feel it on the boat too.”

”Uncle, do we have to go into the sea?”

The four men laughed, ”Of course not, you just sit on the boat and watch.”

They finished casting the net and saw a light in the distance.

”Why is there a fishing boat here today? There shouldn’t be.”

These fishing boats are from the nearby village. There’s an unspoken rule typically followed, avoiding encroaching on each other’s areas.

”Ignore them. If they go too far, we’ll take their catch.”

Being too far away, Tan Shaoting couldn’t know what was happening on that boat.

He sat with his children because as the net dragged through the sea, encountering something would cause a big shake, so it was safer to sit down.

”Dad, what good stuff do you think we’ll catch?”

”Qi Hong, whatever it is, it’ll be a surprise, right? Just wait patiently. Dad doesn’t know either.” He laughed after speaking.

Tan Shaoting had already spotted a school of sea fish below but couldn’t identify what they were.

”Are you three hungry?”

”Dad, I’m thirsty.” Qi Wen leaned against Tan Shaoting.

Daughters are different from sons; she liked snuggling up to her parents.

Tan Shaoting found them all water bottles, and once they finished drinking, gave each of them a peach.

”Xiao Tan, you’re really good to the kids.”

”They’re my own kids.”

”Aren’t they? Mine aren’t as well-behaved as yours, and we think it’s great?”

”Uncle, we are well-behaved.” Qi Wen hurriedly vouched.

”Hahaha, yes, you really are well-behaved. Little girl, you’re young now, but if you were a bit older, I bet they wouldn’t let you on the boat.”

”When I grow up, I’ll build a boat, and then we’ll all go to sea together. My mom hasn’t been on a big boat or seen how big the sea is.”

”Hahaha.” Everyone was amused.

”Good, little girl, you’re ambitious. Your mom is lucky to have a daughter like you.”
