Merchant In the Sea Chapter 2

As soon as I left the ancestral hall, a large group of people followed me out.

The brothers and sisters of the third wife tried to persuade him again and again, and the brothers and sisters of the first and second wives spoke harshly to him, but it was of no use.

As if he was deaf, he hailed a taxi and left the person behind him far behind: "Go to Humen, the old fishing port."

"The old fish port is so big, which street is it?"

David Ringo thought about it for a moment.

"It seems to be Dashawan?"

"Dashawan is so big, should I find it next to you?"

As he spoke, the driver pointed to the price sign. The starting price was 2.5 yuan, and the charge was 0.65 yuan per kilometer.

"It's more than 30 kilometers. Should we walk?"

David Ringo just smiled and said, "Let's go, please."

As soon as the car started, David Ringo finally remembered.

"There is a seafood market in Dashawan, next to the foreign goods street. Let's go there."

"OK."

A cloud of black smoke came out of the Santana's exhaust pipe as it sped towards Humen Town.

Although it is in the suburbs of Dongguan, this is Guangdong after all. As one of the first special economic zones to be opened, it already has densely packed buildings, a constant flow of traffic, and has already taken shape as a city.

However, the exterior decoration is a bit outdated, with mostly gray, blue and white colors.

The scene is like an old silent movie.

Half an hour later, we crossed the Humen Bridge. The sails of the ships were fluttering on the surface of the Pearl River. There were white stone and green towers on the banks of the Yamaha River. Every few steps, there was a 250-jin iron turret.

Humen was the place where opium was destroyed.

Behind the fort is the old fishing port.

"It's time. 21.50 yuan, thank you."

David Ringo paid the bill promptly, straightened his collar and got off the car.

The air was hot and humid, with a salty smell of the sea breeze. The rough red brick building was empty, with blue-green oilcloth covered with oil stains, and large strips of fresh fish hanging on the shelves.

There was sewage flowing on the ground, and long-lost memories came to his mind, but David Ringo, who had a mysophobia, turned a blind eye.

Arriving at the back door of the fish market, there is a small shop with a five-word sign painted in red on a wooden board: Yang’s Salmon.

A beautiful figure sat in front of the door.

Under the black rubber skirt, she has a slender and delicate figure with a rosy face. She is diligently cleaning fish scales with a wire brush.

Grace Yang , David Ringo’s girlfriend in his previous life.

She was also the only girl he actively pursued.

After two years of dating, the two are inseparable.

Turning around, my heart was already filled with grief.

But he didn't meet her in person. Instead, he found a public phone and called her.

After thirty years, Grace Yang 's gentle voice came: "Brother Dong?"

I was stunned for a few seconds.

"Of course it's me. When will you be done?"

Grace Yang  happily held the receiver: "There are so many things to do in the store, how can I finish them all? Are you okay now?"

"It's fine. How about we meet at the usual place?" David Ringo said.

Grace Yang  blinked her eyelashes, her clear eyes filled with confusion: "Didn't you go to Hong Kong Island?"

"Just got back, come out and drink sugar water with me."

"It's so early, don't you need to rest?"

David Ringo said seriously: "I miss you so much. It feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time. Please come out and keep me company."

"How corny. You're not ashamed to say these things. See you later." Grace Yang  giggled.

After hanging up the receiver, David Ringo smiled contentedly.

I feel like the cerebral thrombosis that had been bothering me for years has been cleared.

Across the street from the fishery market is the Baihua Dessert Shop.

David Ringo tapped the counter lightly and sat on a high chair.

"Aunt San, give me a bowl of red bean paste and a bowl of taro coconut milk sago."

Guangdong people love desserts.

The sweet soup business is also a common choice for Guangdong people to supplement their family income.

The two met in this dessert shop.

Looking at the celebrity pictures on the wall, the plastic flowers and plants, and the yellowed shelves, it brings back so many memories.

The shop owner, Auntie San, poked her head out, her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled: "It's Ethan Ah, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you here to wait for your girlfriend again?"

David Ringo smiled and nodded.

"I went to Hong Kong Island a few days ago. Is business going well?"

"It's a small business. Let me tell you, even when you're not here, your youngest daughter comes to eat the sweet soup every day, and asks you about it every day." said Aunt San.

"Really?" David Ringo nodded his nose unconsciously: "Do you have chocolate? It has to be Hong Kong product, you know."

Aunt San stuck her head out and looked outside: "Yes."

Carefully take out a box of Swisse from under the counter.

After unpacking, there were 8 heart-shaped chocolates inside. I took them out and placed them on a plate. I also took out a small candlestick and lit a candle.

The atmosphere was instantly right.

Hong Kong films were popular at that time, and many of them contained romantic scenes, which were very popular among young people.

But a box of authentic Swisse is not only expensive, but also hard to get.

"Thank you, Auntie San."

"No thanks, when will you eat your wedding candy, don't forget Auntie San."

"What a slim girl, so pretty and gentle. Don't let her down. I like you very much." Aunt San said gossipingly.

"Well, no. What about his brother? How is he doing recently?" David Ringo asked again.

"What a scoundrel, he's nowhere to be seen all day long." After that, Auntie San continued, "I'm telling you, he's hooking up with someone else, and he's showing off to everyone all day long. He's going to be a solo trader, and he'll be drowned in the sea to feed the sharks."

Working alone?

Lin Lingdong's face darkened.

It seems that what is supposed to come will come.

In fact, Henry Yang is a pretty good young man. He used to call him his brother-in-law and wanted David Ringo to help him make a lot of money, but for some reason, David Ringo never agreed.

Any delay will make it too late.

This kid couldn't make it, so he got arrested and there was no news of him in just a few years.

Most of the people are gone.

Not even the body was found.

Just as he was speaking, he smelled a strong scent of shampoo. The door curtain was opened, and there were still water droplets hanging on his hair that had not been blown dry. Grace Yang  had already walked in and jumped onto the high stool next to him.

Her face was red as she pretended not to see herself.

Auntie smiled and said, "I'm going to go in and take care of the business. Please keep an eye on the business for me."

David Ringo reached out and gently poked Grace Yang  in the waist: "Where did this beautiful girl come from?"

"You're so annoying. You didn't even tell me you were coming back?"
