Golden Fishery

It is not difficult to select fourteen out of forty-nine people, because none of them have any contact with the aquaculture industry, so it is even simpler: the navy is preferred, those with a strong sense of responsibility are preferred, those with a harmonious personality are preferred, and those with excellent oral English are preferred.

After selecting the right people, Qin Shiou signed a contract with fifteen people under the witness of Yan Donglei, and then took them to the fishing ground, and began to learn the work of the sea in teams and conduct internships.

Fifteen people’s spoken English is not very good, especially the accent of the fishermen is very strong, they like to say some abbreviations and slang, and the spoken English of the Chinese soldiers stumbles with their own Chinese dialect, so after entering the fishing ground Once in contact with the fishermen, the two sides talked like chickens and ducks, without knowing what each other was talking about.

Qin Shiou had no choice but to call Paohai in advance and sign a contract with him to hire him as the chief engineer of the Melon Princess, so that with his intermediary translation, the two sides can communicate.

But this is not the solution. Qin Shiou opened a teaching class by himself, and at night he will teach English to the group. He directly and rigidly stipulates that there will be an oral inspection after Christmas, and those who cannot carry out basic conversations will be fired!

After returning to the fishing ground, Qin Shiou was busy making fishing plans. He went out for a walk at night and saw the bright lights at the entrance of the small warehouse next to the pier, and many people gathered there.

He went over to see that Heidao and others were wearing sunglasses and using electric soldering iron and torch to weld some iron sheets and iron bars. There were people around them watching and offering ideas from time to time.

Qin Shiou was curious and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing him, the doormat holding the computer stood up, waved and said hello: "We found some gadgets in the town, and we want to use them to create a sculpture, which can not only decorate the fishing ground, but also reflect this event. .”

I don't know how long the soldiers have been busy, each of them has a welding torch in their hands, and Shaq and others are still helping, but because each of them is only responsible for a part, Qin Shiou can't see what kind of sculpture they are making.

The doormat explained: "It's a steel poppy flower, and there will be some names on the petals. It can be more than two meters high. I think it should be good to stand on the pier or somewhere."

Qin Shiou probably understood that opium poppy is the main raw material for manufacturing drugs, and most countries in the world strictly prohibit the cultivation of this crop. But for Invalids Day, this kind of flower has a special meaning, and it is the commemorative flower used for this festival.

This tradition stems from a war between France and Belgium. During World War I, the western Belgian and northern French borders were the most heavily fought areas, and many soldiers died there. May 1915. A military doctor saw poppies all over the mountains and fields while burying the remains of his comrades, so he wrote the famous work "On the Land of Flanders". thereafter. This kind of flower gradually became the symbolic flower of British commemoration of fallen soldiers.

How easy it is to do things,

When Qin Shiou was jogging early the next morning, he saw a huge steel poppy had already been erected on the pier. But it hasn't been painted yet, so it looks dark and steep. It's not very beautiful, but it does have a solemn and solemn feeling.

In the next few days, fishermen began to set up plans to go fishing. The ten people recruited from the small town can go to work directly, and the Chinese fishermen are responsible for some physical work, such as tidying up the fishing boats, such as transporting the catch from the fishing boats to the ice storage, and so on.

Beginning on the 10th, Nelson and other comrades-in-arms came to the fishing ground. Qin Shiou arranged the helicopter for them to pick up and drop off the comrades-in-arms. Bird was in charge, and the others continued to work. The work in November was a bit tense.

On the morning of the 11th, all the people who were supposed to come had arrived. Qin Shiou gave Heidao and others a holiday, and booked Papa Hixon's restaurant in the town, and arranged for the group to use it for activities.

As the boss of the seven people, Qin Shiou went to receive him in the morning, and Bird helped him prepare a poppy made of velvet and pin it on his chest. Down to civilians, poppies must be worn to express condolences.

Remembrance Day is targeted. For small towns that are far away from the secular world and war, the atmosphere of Memorial Day is not heavy. In St. Johns, there are related activities. In the small town, there are only Paul Sagro, the second owner of the outdoor supermarket, and his men. Two second-hand goods also wore this kind of flower.

After wearing the poppies, Qin Shiou gave Bird a check, shrugged and said, "This is the money I paid for the flowers."

In various activities, poppies are mostly made by veterans. Those who participate in the commemorative activities need to buy them, but there is no price. They can give 50 cents or 500 yuan. The purchaser can set the price freely. The money goes to the Veterans Association. It is used to pay for disabled veterans, families of fallen soldiers and war memorials.

Bird didn't look at the number on it, carefully folded it up and put it in the wallet, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

After entering Dad's restaurant, there were about thirty or forty people talking and laughing loudly. Seeing Qin Shiou and the others' voices fell silent for a moment, Heidao got up and introduced: "This is us, he sponsored this event, a good man, Great guy who took great care of us.”

After Hei Dao's introduction, a group of people whistled and waved to Qin Shiou one after another.

A middle-aged man in a jacket came over and said, "My name is Ferguson, and I'm a guy from Black Knife and BB Cream. Thank you for taking care of them. We've all heard that these guys have been doing well for the past two years." .”

Qin Shiou shook hands with the middle-aged man, and found that the man's hand was disabled, his right hand only had a thumb and a little finger, and there were thick calluses in his palm. He should be doing hard work now.

He guessed in his heart, and said politely: "This is what I should do. You have shed blood for the country, and Heidao and the others have shed sweat for my fishing ground, so no matter what I do, it is a matter of course."

"But many people don't think so!" A middle-aged man with flabby skin and dull eyes came over and said angrily, "Especially those damn politicians in Maple Leaf City, who send us to the battlefield if necessary, and then don't care about it anymore. Falk squid! Let them go!"

Nelson grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Matt, don't talk about this, all the guys here today, we can solve our own difficulties, can't we? God is always in your heart and mine."

Matt shrugged off Nelson and muttered, "God the fuck! God's on your mind, you have a decent job, and I hear you have a girlfriend who's as pretty as a floret chick? What about me? What the fuck? None, only a broken leg!"

Only then did Qin Shiou notice that Matt's walking posture was a bit wrong, but it shouldn't be too serious.

Bird lowered his face, and said in a low voice: "Matt, for Barnes' sake, don't fucking say it, okay? Go and drink your wine! Drink as much as you want today!" (To be continued continued.) Enable new URL
