Chapter 206: Diving

Lady Fang looked at her and slowly shook her head, “Furong, you really disappointed me! It seems, after raising you all these years, I still cannot get rid of the things you have learned from the Xia Family. In Xia Residence, your parents often instill the idea that ‘everything in the Fang Family will be yours in the future’, right? As a result, you want to get rid of all the obstacles that stand in your way of achieving your goals, right? ”

“Bibi ..” Xia Furong is still trying to do the last fight.

Lady Fang blocked her with a single sentence, “Furong, do you think Aunt is stupid? That servant only received a few hundred copper coins in a month, how could he take two hundred taels of silver to help his master vent his anger? ”

Xia Furong's voice stopped suddenly and her skin turned gray from defeat. Xia Furong was naturally finally sent back to the oppressive Xia Family. Since he was abandoned, he naturally would not be able to live well. After she reached adulthood, she was married off to the foolish son of a high-ranking official. He was unhappy in the marriage and died before he reached the age of thirty.

When desperate, he often recalled the mistakes he made that night, and his heart would always be filled with deep regret. If he was not level-headed with jealousy, then he would still be the nephew that his aunt loved. As long as she behaved well, her aunt would arrange a good marriage for her and prepare a considerable dowry. She will have a husband who loves her and respects her. She was about to give birth to a group of cute babies .. At the time of her death, Xia Furong seemed to have seen a different life …

When Yu Xiaocao reappeared in front of the villagers of Dongshan Village after his case was over, the villagers looked as if they had seen a ghost. Wasn't the second daughter of the Yu Family buried in a mass grave? How is he still alive? Could it be that he still held a grudge, so that his dead soul had yet to disperse?

After she scared another group of little girls in the village to tears, Yu Hai and Fang Zizhen had no choice but to go to each family to explain the situation to them. They explained that Xiaocao had met with the bandits and was saved by the second son of Prince Jing's Plantation. To pull people from behind the scenes, he pretended to be dead …

After the villagers understood the matter, they all sighed and were very happy that Xiaocao was fine. Only Madam Zhang secretly cursed in her heart, saying that Xiaocao was a scourge that would not die in thousands of years …

The days passed one after another, and it was already mid-summer. There are not many children in the fishing village who cannot swim. When the water recedes, one can always see some heads bobbing in the water, like little nimble dolphins.

Yu Xiaocao learned to swim in his previous life. There is a large pond in the village, and in the summer, children like to jump into the pool and play while adults watch over them. After a while, everyone likes to pedal the dog a few times in the pool. Sometimes, adults also like to swim back and forth in the pool, or they will give their children clues about swimming. In his previous life, Xiaocao's father was one of the best swimmers when he was young. Xiaocao and his younger siblings had learned swimming skills from him.

Unknowingly, it had been a year since he had moved. Everything in his past life gradually faded from Xiaocao's heart, only an immortal trace left deep in his heart. The most important thing is to appreciate his life right now. He must live in the moment and appreciate the things in front of him.

“Xiaolian, Xiaocao! Let's dive in the sea to catch abalone. We will be able to receive a few taels of silver if we catch a high quality abalone! ” Zhou Shanhu jumped in from the outside and mysteriously undressed, showing Xiaocao and his sister the wetsuits she was wearing.

The Great Ming Dynasty had greatly improved the status of women which also had an impact on the small fishing village in Dongshan Village. No one would say anything if a young girl went overboard wearing tight wetsuits before she grew up. Therefore, a little girl like Zhou Shanhu usually had her own wetsuits.

The wetsuits were similar to the one-piece wetsuits in his previous life. It is usually made of sea fish skin, jellyfish skin, or shark skin. It is waterproof and warm in the sea. However, the manufacturing method has been lost in later generations. Xiaocao was very interested in that wetsuit, so he touched it again and again.

Zhou Shanhu proudly said, “My father has just bought me a wetsuit this year. Diving suits made from the skin of sea fish only cost a few taels of silver. I wonder how many taels of silver it takes to make it from jellyfish or shark skin? Xiaocao, your father is the best at shark hunting, why don't you ask him to make you one? ”

Xiaolian smiled and said, “Dadik, Dad secretly made me a shark skin diving suit for me last year. If you like, you can try it. ”

As the weather grew warmer, preserving meat dishes became harder, so they stopped selling boiled food. As a result, Xiaolian had been at home doing nothing for the past two days, which was something she did not use. He had been thinking of asking Xiaocao to help him find another business, so that he could earn money to spend.

In order to cultivate the independence of her children, Yu Hai decided to allow his children to run their own businesses. All the money they make will be their own. For example, all the money Yu Hang earned from collecting seafood and Xiaolian from selling boiled dishes were all theirs. Even though they might be young, they both had quite a stash of money!

However, both of them were used to giving their younger sisters the money they earned. So Xiaocao helped them open a bank account. When he received a hundred taels from them, he would deposit them into their bank accounts. Whenever the siblings got together to talk about their savings, Little Shitou would noisily complain that everyone was getting money, and that only she had money but did not come in. He was extremely frustrated and believed that he was one of his most useless siblings. !

The reason allowed Little Shitou to stop thinking about running a small business after school. In order for Little Shitou not to feel left out, Xiaocao also helped her open a bank account and deposit ten taels of silver into her bank account every month. Little Shitou knew that her second sister was the richest person in her family. He received dividends from Zhenxiu Restaurant and the Zhou Family factory, and he also received rent from two stores in the city. She was a rich little lady, so she did not reject him.

After Xiaocao heard that there was a shark skin wetsuit in his house, his heart was itchy and he urged Xiaolian to take it out for a try. Although Xiaocao had grown last year, his current height was not much different from Xiaolian's height last year. Xiaolian's wetsuits from last year were perfect for her.

Xiaolian watched her younger sister put on wetsuits on top of her underwear and then put her outerwear on top of it. Seeing how excited he was, he quickly pulled her up and said, “Adik, you haven't learned to swim. Just stand by the water, don't go into the water! ”

Xiaocao smiled and said, “What's so hard about swimming? I am very smart, so how can such a trivial thing stop me? You will see.”

Xiaolian did not feel relieved at all. After he said goodbye to his mother, he followed behind Xiaocao and Shanhu as the two of them chatted. The three of them arrived at a secluded place by the sea.

Zhou Shanhu looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he took off his outer clothes, dove into the sea, and swam far away. His swimming skills are not bad. After he wiped the water on his face, he waved his hand towards Xiaocao and shouted, “Xiaocao, do not be afraid! The water is not deep here, you can go down into the water little by little! ”

Yu Xiaocao took off his outer clothes and put them into Xiaolian's hands. He smiled and said, “There will be no problem. You can watch me by the beach. If anything goes wrong, you can come in and lure me in! ”

Xiaolian reluctantly sat on the edge of the reef on the beach as she watched her little sister slowly descend into the sea. The sea was currently extremely soft, and there were clear ripples on the surface of the blue sea. Even though it was morning, the two girls did not feel cold at all while wearing their wetsuits.

“Adik, don't go any further, you don't know how to swim.” When Xiaolian saw that only Xiaocao's head appeared on the surface of the water, the, he quickly stood up and shouted loudly towards Xiaocao. However, his voice came to a sudden halt and his eyes widened in shock upon seeing Xiaocao's proficient swimming style. Is his sister a genius? How can he learn without a teacher?

After swimming in a circle, Zhou Shanhu's goose approached Xiaocao's side fearing an accident as this was his first time in the water. But after he saw Xiaocao's skilled rowing dog, he smiled and said, “Xiaolian said that you don't know how to swim. He's not worried about anything! Aren't you good at swimming? There aren't many people here, so I think we should be able to find some abalone on the ocean floor. Let's swim a little further before diving! ”

Yu Xiaocao followed Zhou Shanhu as they swam further into the sea. Suddenly, Zhou Shanhu dove into the sea and there was no movement from him after all this time. Xiaocao panicked and busily buried his head into the sea to find out where Zhou Shanhu was. Even though he can swim, he doesn't know how to dive. After fluttering for a while, he was still unable to dive.

“Hahaha ..” A burst of laughter rang out, Xiaocao quickly raised his head. Zhou Shanhu appeared not far from his place. One of his hands held a black sea cucumber, while he used the other hand to point his finger at her, laughing until tears came out.

Yu Xiaocao swam to his side and splashed the sea water onto his face. He angrily said, “What's so funny? I just don't know how to dive, teach me quickly! ”

“Your previous appearance looks exactly like a drowning duck as you fly. That's so funny! Haha... ”Zhou Shanhu again laughed out loud.

Yu Xiaocao waited for her to finish laughing before she humbly asked him to teach her how to dive. Zhou Shanhu had good diving skills, and he was also a competent little teacher. Yu Xiaocao was also quick to learn, and soon mastered the diving tricks. With one plunge, he could reach deep to the bottom of the sea.

Zhou Shanhu looked as if suffering a blow, “It is true that ‘once a disciple learns, his master will starve’! If later you choose a high-quality abalone, do not forget to give me a bonus! ” After he finished speaking, he held his breath and dove into the water. The little girl's diving skills were pretty good. This time, he went down for two to three minutes before he reappeared.

Yu Xiaocao waved his hand at Xiaolian, who was on the beach, then he took a deep breath and dived. The sea is clear and transparent and the coral reefs on the seabed are clearly visible. Occasionally, colorful fish swam past the coral reefs, and a small sea crab was startled by it so much that it drilled itself into the sand. Xiaocao was amazed by this interesting sight. He stayed at the bottom of the water until he could not hold his breath anymore. Then, he would push himself and rush to the surface of the sea.
