Reborn in 1990, a life of fishing and gathering seafood.

Chapter 010: One set of rules in front of you, another in behind your back

"Ouch!"

"Look, isn't that Rotten Ba?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... It really is him. What's this guy doing here at the beachcombing event today? Did the sun rise in the west?"

"Who knows!"

"Didn't you see he brought his wife with him? Maybe he's become more sensible after getting married and is thinking about making a living by fishing."

"Pah! How can a dog stop eating shit? If he could change his ways, I'd change my name backwards. It's absolutely impossible..."

When Fang Hao and Song Yaxin arrived here.

It immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Many women who were digging for snails and clams couldn't help but take a second look in surprise.

Then they secretly started chirping crickets.

This is truly unbelievable!

Who is Fang Hao?

A notorious hoodlum in the village.

It's quite rare for them to come here to go beachcombing now; it's really unexpected and has caught everyone off guard.

For a moment, no one could figure out what he was up to.

……

"Why is everyone staring at us...?"

at the same time.

Song Yaxin noticed that everyone around her was staring at her and Fang Hao, and they seemed to be whispering among themselves.

I was a little unaccustomed to it at first.

After all, she had never seen such a scene before.

"fine."

"As long as you're not embarrassed... they're the ones who will be embarrassed! Why bother with them so much—"

Fang Hao didn't care.

Having lived two lives, I've long since developed a thick skin.

In fact, he knew very well why these people were staring at him; it was simply because their current behavior was somewhat unusual compared to before.

People may just be curious and have some doubts.

"Let's get started!"

"Do you know how to dig?"

Fang Hao asked Song Yaxin.

Nowadays, going to the beach late at night mainly involves digging for snails, collecting clams, and cracking open oysters.

If you're lucky, you might catch some crabs.

And octopuses and stuff!

"Can't we just dig it up directly?"

Song Yaxin frowned and said softly.

She saw everyone else using rakes and hoes to turn over the sand and then they would have a harvest.

Is there some other special rule?

After all, she was a complete newcomer!

"Digging directly is the right thing to do."

"But you have to know how to look... Do you see this hole? The constant bubbling proves there's definitely something inside..."

Fang Hao shook his head.

There are actually some techniques to beachcombing and scavenging.

Otherwise, if you act recklessly and haphazardly, you might turn over several acres of land and not find much.

In the end, you'll just exhaust yourself!

"Wow!"

"It really exists..."

Fang Hao easily dug out a snail.

Song Yaxin was also quite excited.

She wasn't from the seaside, so she wouldn't know about these things. Now, experiencing them for the first time, she felt like she was opening up a new world.

"You don't get much from beachcombing."

"The only thing we have in abundance is these snails..."

Fang Hao smiled and said.

There were still plenty of things to find at the sea in the 1990s; you could easily find quite a few items.

Snails, clams, oysters, etc.

Anyone can manage it if they're willing to spend the time and effort, unlike in later generations when they were completely wiped out.

"I'll give it a try!"

Song Yaxin was eager to try.

Then I picked up the tools and started digging.

"We found it!"

Song Yaxin quickly got the hang of it.

After all, this is not difficult at all; even a child could do it.

...

"Hiro?"

"You guys are here to go beachcombing too?"

Just at this time.

A voice came from the side.

"Auntie!"

"I brought Yaxin to see this."

Fang Hao turned around and found that the person who came was Zhou Xiuping.

He nodded and replied.

"Auntie!"

Song Yaxin then greeted them.

After all, Fang Hao's elders are his own elders.

"All right!"

"Then you guys dig first, I'll go over there."

Zhou Xiuping did not linger for long.

After all, people come to the beach to work.

There's not much time to waste chatting; I need to hurry up and buy more things to take home.

If you're too slow, you won't even get a hot meal of shit.

Each time the tide recedes, there's only so much good stuff left; whoever acts quickly gets the most.

Let's go!

"We'll go with my aunt... There are so many people there! They must have good stuff..."

Fang Hao said to Song Yaxin.

Ocean mining is a technical skill.

It also requires extensive experience.

Anyway, following these veterans who have been going to the beach for decades is definitely the right thing to do, much better than messing around here on my own.

……

"Ah-Ba!"

"Bringing your wife to go beachcombing tonight?"

"It's been years since I've seen you come down here. Getting married and having a wife really makes a difference; you've started to take care of your family."

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha~"

Fang Hao and Song Yaxin joined the main group.

A group of middle-aged women started chatting amongst themselves, which was nothing like the unpleasant cricket chatter behind their backs just moments before.

In the countryside.

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

"..."

Song Yaxin is a little shy.

It's clear they're struggling to keep up with these people.

For a moment, they remained silent.

In this regard.

Fang Hao didn't care much.

Don't be fooled by these guys' friendly chatter and laughter on the surface; they might be secretly looking down on you like crazy.

Being polite on the surface is one thing.

Looking down on someone behind their back is another matter entirely.

There is no conflict between the two.

"You and your aunt dig here first."

"I'll go over there and take a look..."

Fang Hao stayed for a while before preparing to slip away.

After all, it's a bit uncomfortable for a grown man to be surrounded by a bunch of women.

I'm thinking of going for a walk!

Utilizing his extraordinary perception.

Let's see if we can find anything else. As for digging for snails and clams, let Song Yaxin handle that.

After saying that.

Fang Hao then walked away.

……

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Your husband probably went off to slack off again, didn't he?"

"I haven't even shopped for a little while... how will I ever be able to support a family like this!"

"Exactly!"

"Honestly, you're so beautiful and attractive, why don't you marry a better man..."

...

"Alright!"

"It's a bit unreasonable for you to gossip behind my back and undermine my son. Everyone has a period of youthful ignorance. He will mature after getting married."

Seeing Fang Hao walk away;

Immediately, someone began to speak in a sinister tone.

That's actually how it is in the countryside.

They often say one thing to your face and another behind your back; these women have very sharp tongues.

Zhou Xiuping immediately spoke up.

After all, this nephew had just saved her son's life today; if it had been before, she might have scolded Fang Hao a few times.

"..."

This was the first time Song Yaxin had ever directly experienced everyone's evaluation of Fang Hao.

Hearing them make such accusations and slander...

She felt a vague unease in her heart.

After all, no matter what?

Fang Hao is nominally her husband.

These people were belittling and mocking her to her face, which was actually a slap in the face to her, implying that she was blind to have married the wrong person.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiuping intervened in time to stop them; otherwise, who knows if they would have said something even more offensive.

People from the 1990s.

Many of them have little to no education.

As for manners and etiquette, they certainly couldn't compare to those of later generations who were known for their politeness.

There are tons of people who argue and curse each other all day long.

No one is easy to deal with.
