Chapter 1103: Chapter 1103: Departure
Chengzi repeated this sentence twice, as if speaking it to himself.
They also weren’t planning to enter the city for a meal; after dark, they’d just stop to have some snacks.
They were used to this kind of life and didn’t feel much about it.
"Actually, there’s really no need to rush like this," Su Yuanyuan sighed. Their family was going on vacation, not on a mission.
"Mom, what good can there be on the road? Let’s hurry to the destination, and then we can start the vacation," Qi Wen said with a smile.
"True. As long as the three of you feel okay with it, that’s all that matters."
At night, they arrived at Taolin Village. Since it was midnight, they stopped at the village entrance.
It really wasn’t comfortable in the car. Chengzi was arranged to stay behind to watch the car, while the family of five headed to the seaside.
They found many little things on the beach.
"We should go see the seafloor next time," Qi Wen said, smiling brightly.
The other four in the family of course had no objections; they could go anywhere.
"Mom, you haven’t ridden a Flying Boat yet, have you? Why don’t we give it a try?"
Regarding Qi Hong’s suggestion, Su Yuanyuan thought deeply about it. She felt that the children still liked the lifestyle over there.
Tan Shaoting had no objections. He released the Flying Boat and made a few gestures, causing it to enlarge.
Qi Wen excitedly grabbed her mother’s hand, saying, "Let’s go up."
Su Yuanyuan looked at the expressions on her children’s faces and knew she hadn’t been overthinking.
Tan Shaoting took his wife’s hand, "Let’s go up and experience it. This can go invisible, so the people here won’t be able to notice."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. The family of five boarded the Flying Boat. By inserting the Spirit Stone, they could control it as they pleased.
"Can it really not be detected?"
The father and four children all nodded. The Flying Boat soared into the sky, bringing a truly different sensation. You couldn’t feel the wind at all.
Moreover, it was really spacious inside. Su Yuanyuan curiously took a stroll around, "It’s really quite nice."
"Mom, this Flying Boat is considered low-level in the Cultivation World. There are even higher-level Flying Artifacts."
The Flying Boat moved very fast; Su Yuanyuan felt like it was only a few minutes before she saw several fishing boats on the sea.
"That’s Wang Er and his crew," Su Yuanyuan said, pointing at a boat below.
The three children still remembered a few people from Taolin Port.
"Mom, if we wanted to ride the boat again, I bet they wouldn’t dare let us on," Qi Wen said, laughing at herself afterward.
The other family members laughed too. "Indeed, for the past five years, I’ve used the village’s boat every year. For people in such special professions, they’re likely superstitious.
But they still agreed to let a woman on board to go out to sea. That’s the main reason I’m grateful to them.
Even though I always paid extra, it’s not the same. Perhaps in their hearts, any mishap would be attributed to the bad luck of having a woman on board.
In the end, they agreed. That’s the kindness in them."
The father and four children said nothing. Tan Shaoting recalled when Chengzi had told him about sensing when his wife swam at the time of an incident with the children.
He knew that even if all the fishing boats refused her, she would still find a way to get out to sea.
"Mom, their haul looks decent. Let me help them have a great catch today."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. She then saw Qi Hong make a few gestures. The family watched from above as the people on the fishing boats below.
It truly was a great catch; a quarter of an hour later when the net was pulled, the rope almost broke, and the fishing boat swayed heavily.
Qi Wen laughed from the side, "Second Brother, this almost got them into trouble."
Qi Hong laughed sheepishly. A bit reckless.
Wang Er and his crew were thrilled. They had never experienced a haul so large in one go. The net barely came up, and the cabin was nearly overflowing.
Wang Er waved excitedly, "Let’s head back. Even if we have more, we won’t be able to take it back."
Everyone has greed, but at sea, there’s a deep sense of reverence, knowing when enough is enough.
Today’s harvest equaled four to five days’ worth.
The boat started up, and everyone wore expressions of excitement.
Seeing them return early, the family of five planned to go back as well.
"Mom, this seafood is really fresh."
"Yes, let’s buy some and eat at the village chief’s house."
Sometimes, seafood prepared by fishermen has the most authentic flavor. Such taste is even better.
Of course, they arrived at the beach much earlier. Sitting on the sand, they waited for the fishing boats to return.
The sun rose bit by bit; the sea was a fiery red, as if the sun leapt up from the water.
The tide rose, and the fishing boats landed. It was earlier than usual today, so no one from the village came to greet them yet.
Wang Er saw Su Yuanyuan standing on the shore, along with Tan Shaoting and the three children.
He gasped and pointed at the shore, unable to speak.
The other five people also looked over, all recognized Su Yuanyuan. They could recall Tan Shaoting as well, mainly because he stood out.
Wang Er didn’t tend to the seafood on his boat. He disembarked and ran over.
"Xiao Su, Xiao Su, is this Xiao Tan and the kids?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is my husband and children."
Tan Shaoting and the three children thanked Wang Er, who then snapped out of his daze and laughed heartily, "That’s wonderful; isn’t this what they call getting rewarded for perseverance? Xiao Su’s determination moved the heavens."
Tan Shaoting and his children liked this person very much.
Wang Er spun around twice in excitement, "Fantastic! Xiao Su’s efforts weren’t for nothing." A woman was so determined to come every year to find her husband and children.
And now, it’s all good. They’ve come back. Truly returned.
Su Yuanyuan was also pleased with Wang Er. "Brother Wang, go and unload the boat; we’ll be waiting here. But reserve some big prawns for us; we’re eating here today."
"Sure, sure, no problem. I’ll save the good stuff for you."
"Mom, let’s go help too," Qi Wen said with a smile.
"Alright, off you go." Su Yuanyuan knew the children were partly motivated by gratitude and partly by curiosity, finding it fun.
Wang Er and his crew thought the three children might slow things down, but seeing a little girl able to move a whole basket of seafood with just two hands, they were shocked.
With their help, unloading the boat finished much quicker than usual today.
Wang Er really picked out a lot of seafood, all premium quality.
After waiting for them to unload the boat, the village’s ox cart arrived.
The old village chief was aged, so his son had come instead.
When he saw Su Yuanyuan and her family, he was also startled but quickly became happy.
Su Yuanyuan accepted their warmth and smiled, thanking them.
"Xiao Su, head home now," the village chief’s eldest son invited their family.
