Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 155 The Seaside Era 1

The sea breeze carries moisture.

Jiang Ping groggily opened his eyes and checked the system time.

He nudged his older brother, who was catching up on sleep, and the two of them, each carrying a small bucket of crabs, snails, and shellfish, with their tools on their backs, hurried home.

It's getting dark; if they don't go back soon, they'll get scolded again.

The original owner's older brother walked unsteadily, muttering to himself.

"Little sister, aren't you sleepy? I feel so sleepy every day..."

"Sleepy..."

Jiang Ping didn't want to engage in conversation with him, but fortunately, the original owner of this body didn't talk much, and a single word was enough for her to reply.

The original owner's name was Wang Pinghai. His parents died in a sea accident, and afterwards he lived with his grandparents along with his older brother, Wang Dingbo.

Although he is called the older brother, the two are only three years apart in age.

Thanks to Wang Dingbo's persistent feeding, the original owner grew to be as tall as his older brother and even had the same short, chewy hair.

If you don't look closely, you can easily mistake them for two brothers.

The original owner's grandfather, Wang Yonglong, and grandmother, Liu Dongxia, didn't have the energy to care about their granddaughter.

Peace and safety, and being able to fill one's stomach are the most important things.

Moreover, it's good that my granddaughter is like this; no one is deliberately bullying her.

With Jiang Ping around, their lives have improved noticeably lately.

Once again in the 1970s, living by the sea, it feels somewhat connected to being a fish-man in the previous world.

If she doesn't control the fishy smell emanating from her soul, those little fish and shrimp will be unable to resist rushing towards her one after another.

I guess they've never smelled this before.

This is a gift from Ms. Octopus.

Unlike in my past life, when the smell of the sea made fish of all sizes run away like the plague~

Every day when she went beachcombing with Wang Dingbo, she would use this "golden touch" a little bit.

The reason for not opening the big screen is that it might attract large fish and shrimp.

That would be too outrageous.

This is just a small fishing village...

It's not an aquarium...

"Little sister, take these mantis shrimps to your aunt later, and remember to say a few words to her, okay?"

After arriving home and emptying the contents of the bucket, Wang Dingbo began to worry again, instructing Wang Pinghai on how to maintain good relationships with his relatives.

They had a good catch from beachcombing recently.

My aunt's family often takes care of them, so it's only right that they send her some of her favorite foods.

Wang Dingbo patted the thin, dark-skinned girl and sighed deeply.

I still need to work harder.

I wonder when I'll be able to fatten my little sister up to be as plump as Fang Zhiqing's baby.

Eight-year-old Wang Pinghai, a dark-skinned boy, had no idea what his older brother was thinking.

As she left, she could still see out of the corner of her eye that the other person was about to start cooking.

They're really busy, and they're also really prone to worrying.

Unfortunately, the original owner's parents were heartless; they abandoned their family and children to smuggle themselves to the other side, and no one in the family suspected it.

It even caused the original owner's grandparents to turn gray overnight, and sometimes they would doubt themselves.

Shouldn't we have scolded them for being too lazy back then?

That's really harmful.

Wang Pinghai's little brain was working non-stop, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the entrance of his aunt's courtyard.

She knocked gently on the door, then pinched her throat and called out "Auntie" like the original owner of the body, before pushing the door open and going in.

The original owner's voice confirms that he/she was socially awkward.

Aunt Chen Jiafen is one year older than the original owner's biological mother and is the second wife of the original owner's cousin.

The original owner's first beautiful aunt took a fancy to a soldier, and after divorcing her uncle, she quickly moved on to someone else and left.

You should ask your uncle what he thinks?

Then my uncle should be very grateful to this kind person.

The problem is that my uncle and his wife have such bad tempers that they fight every three days, which is considered mild. I reckon they even get pinched awake by each other while they're sleeping at night.

However, this reason is not enough to convince their family to separate at the moment.

Until this kind person appeared...

*

Pinghai?

"Auntie, here are some mantis shrimp for you."

Chen Jiafen wanted to laugh at her expressionless face, but she held it in.

How was your day?

"A good harvest! Tomorrow, Auntie will bring Qingjie along."

To be honest, even Wang Pinghai himself was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

The original owner's speaking rhythm was truly comparable to modern poetry...

As soon as she finished speaking, she stuffed the mantis shrimp into Chen Jiafen's hand, turned around, and quickly left the place.

To avoid letting your laughter be detected.

Hahahaha, only the system is carefree and doesn't need to worry about being out of character.

After mentally preparing myself, I returned home to find that my grandparents had already come home from work.

Wang Dingbo watched his younger sister run into the door and was a little worried that she might have been bullied.

Wang Pinghai put down his work and carefully checked everything before he could continue working with peace of mind.

The original owner's grandparents were already used to it, but Tongzi felt a little sad and loudly announced that she was going to come out and take care of the child!

After the announcement, they started choosing the appearance.

Wang Pinghai didn't stop them, after all, Tongzi could still raise them by going to the beach.

It's not surprising that dogs can go into the sea to catch fish, right?

If you find this strange, you should reflect on whether you lack knowledge or experience.

The original owner's grandmother, Liu Dongxia, took the spatula from her grandson.

They sent someone to help the old man and quickly finished preparing the meal.

Wang Dingbo only stewed one pot of small seafood. Wang Pinghai added some broken spiritual spring water to it, and the aroma alone made it seem delicious.

It makes people who like to wander around outside after work crave food and head home.

"Grandma, I'm hungry."

And so, it's time for Wang Pinghai to go through the motions again.

Although the original owner was socially anxious, she was even more afraid of being hungry, and all she said every day was "Grandpa", "Grandma", "Brother", "I'm hungry", "I'm full".

Fortunately, she doesn't like to cause trouble. When she's hungry, she just stands at home watching the stove, which doesn't annoy anyone.

Liu Dongxia nodded after hearing this and responded loudly.

"I heard you! I heard you! Go wait at the table!"

Without even looking, you can tell that the child has already set out the bowls and chopsticks, just waiting for the food to be served.

Luckily, we only have two grandchildren at home, otherwise we really couldn't afford to raise them.

The only good thing her son and daughter-in-law did was not to have many children because they didn't want to take care of them.

If she had too many children, she probably wouldn't even dare to die.

...

Wang Pinghai's family finished their meal in a flash, and when they ran out of staple food, they made up for it with seafood.

To ensure sustainable development, Wang Pinghai added a lot of fish supplements to the sea so that the fish could reproduce more after consuming them.

In this kind of era, being tired of eating is better than going hungry.

Besides, there's a young intellectual named Fang from Xiaowang Village who trades seafood.

She wanted both fresh and dried goods, and the lives of the villagers in Xiaowang Village finally improved a little.

Wang Dingbo once worked for Fang Zhiqing in exchange for sugar.

The hard candy we got was divided among the four of us in the family, and in the end, we could only smash it into pieces.

Overall, Fang Zhiqing was quite popular in the village.

No one was so blind as to report the person.

Fang had a good reputation at the educated youth settlement and was considered to be from a well-off family.

The woman's fiancée was Wang Jianyang, who was visiting his hometown of Xiaowang Village. It is said that they fell in love at first sight. Wang Jianyang's widowed mother was overjoyed that her older single son had finally found someone he liked, and she was so happy that she went to propose marriage.

Then came Fang Zhiqing's marriage and subsequent pregnancy with twins, Fang Zhiqing's connections in helping villagers exchange dried goods, Fang Zhiqing and other educated youth studying after work, and Fang Zhiqing becoming a village primary school teacher...

Oh, the original owner's first aunt's new boyfriend is also somewhat related to Wang Jianyang.
