Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

"Choo Choo Choo!"

…

"Choo Choo Choo!"

…

Zhao Dahai watched his grandma Zhong Cuihua playing with the chickens with millet. He bought a diesel engine and picked a dozen chickens from a place that sold chickens and ducks in the town. He put them in the chicken coop he had just repaired in the morning and waited for a while. Yes, I didn’t want to eat it, so I walked to the vegetable field and picked a lot of green vegetables. I kept the young ones and fried them for a while, and threw the old ones directly into the chicken pen. The chickens that were originally hiding in the corner rushed out all at once. , I bought a chick as big as a fist, which can eat and drink, and is easy to feed.

Zhao Dahai went back to cook. After cooking, he called his grandma Zhong Cuihua to come back. He finished eating around five o'clock and went out to the dock. He got on the fishing boat and checked several times carefully. There was no leakage.

The sun sets.

The sky is filled with sunset.

"The sea!"

"On the fishing boat again?"

…

"Yo!"

“I’ll just sleep on the fishing boat tonight!”

…

In the evening, the pier was full of people preparing to go fishing, and people said hello from time to time.

Liu Bin had a pole on his shoulder, carrying a fishing net on one end and a bucket of diesel on the other. He stopped when he saw Zhao Dahai working on the fishing boat.

"The sea."

"You have to come here several times a day!"

Liu Bin remembered that Zhao Dahai's father was a master of fishing, and wondered if Zhao Dahai had this ability.

"ha!"

"Didn't the fishing boat just test the water for two days?"

"Come down and see if there's anything wrong."

Zhao Dahai smiled and chatted with Liu Bin for a few words. After watching Liu Bin leave, he continued to work. He opened the lid of the living cabin and looked carefully. There was no water mark at all. He remembered something. He bought it some time ago. An oxygenator is mainly for home use. It is generally not used when fishing at sea, but sometimes it may be used. To use an oxygenator, you need electricity. A diesel engine will be installed tomorrow, and lights and oxygenators should be installed. The wires must be pulled well to avoid trouble in the future.

Liu Bin got on his fishing boat and put down what he was carrying on his shoulders. He glanced at Zhong Shizhu who was busy on the fishing boat next to him and said what he had just been thinking about.

"Hehehe!"

"When Zhao Dahai was seven or eight years old, he went fishing with his father on a fishing boat. Maybe he is really a master of fishing."

"But you won't know until the donkey or the horse comes out for a run."

Zhong Shizhu looked at Zhao Dahai on the fishing boat 20 to 30 meters away. In a few days, Zhao Dahai would go out to fish. Let's find out as soon as possible whether he has the ability.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

The small pier in the village is very quiet.

The weather was very nice, the fishing boats were all out fishing, and the places that were usually extremely crowded were empty.

Zhao Dahai opened his eyes, sat up, and yawned. In the evening, he went to the fishing boat to check if there was any water leakage. He also tidied up the things on the fishing boat. He felt a little sleepy due to the wind, and he just wanted to take a breather. , I didn’t expect that hours would pass by when I lay down and fell asleep.

Zhao Dahai looked towards the sea. He saw that the whole sea was full of lights, and he suddenly became excited. In a few days, his fishing boat would be able to go out to sea for fishing. He was one of these people, and only by going to sea could he make money.

Zhao Dahai watched for a while, then left the fishing boat and walked home to install the diesel engine early tomorrow morning.

early morning.

The small pier was wet everywhere. The fishing boats had just returned from the sea. The air was filled with the fishy smell of fish, shrimps and crabs. From time to time, people shouted to give in or bargained.

Zhao Dahai came early, and the man who installed the diesel engine had not arrived yet. He was not idle and kept wandering around to see what fish other fishing boats had caught when they went out to sea. He saw about a dozen fishing boats from his own village and some fishing boats from other villages. They are some common fish, the most common ones are black snapper and sand pointed fish, which are not only more numerous than other fish, shrimps and crabs, but also of good size.

Zhao Dahai was wondering which black snapper and sand pointed fish were more nearby, when he saw a small four-wheeler driving over and parked at the edge of the pier. It was probably his diesel engine, and he quickly walked over.

Ding Lishan got out of the car and asked which fishing boat it was. He unloaded the diesel engine and put it on the fishing boat. He immediately started work with another person. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the installation was completed. After trying it, the fishing boat drove a few nautical miles without any problems. question before packing up and leaving.

Zhao Dahai sent Ding Lishan away and returned to the fishing boat. He was very excited looking at the brand new diesel engine that had just been installed.

"The sea."

"I don't think anything will happen to this fishing boat. We can officially go to sea on a certain date."

Zhao Shi had already come over when the diesel engine was being installed and had been watching. He looked at the entire fishing boat inside and out several times and found no problems.

"Second Grandpa."

"When are the good days?"

Zhao Dahai immediately asked when was a good day. The fishing boat test, even the few turns of the test machine after installing it, did not count. Only when it was launched on a selected day was it officially going out for fishing. When he heard that tomorrow was a good day this month, the next one would be a good day. The date will be in another month, so tomorrow is scheduled immediately.

Zhao Shi looked at Zhao Dahai, who rushed to the pier like a rabbit and was eager to buy firecrackers in the town, and smiled. This was exactly the same as when he was young.

Zhao Shi looked at the vast and endless sea, which was calm and without any waves, and his smile disappeared. This is a place to raise a family, a place to make a fortune, and at the same time, it is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.

"Zhao Dahai will start fishing tomorrow. You must keep an eye on your children to keep them rich and safe."

Zhao Shi chatted a few times and smoked cigarettes until it got dark before leaving and going home.

ten o'clock in the morning.

The small pier of Langtou Village.

The sound of firecrackers was loud and smoke was rising.

Zhao Dahai held the helm, waiting for the sound of firecrackers to stop and the fishing boat to sail out.

Zhong Cuihua and Huang Huangtao stood on the beach, driving their fishing boat farther and farther away until they disappeared.

"These two years."

"I'm worried."

"I didn't take good care of the children, and I was worried about the parents who would not be able to see the sea if they died. Now I have closed my eyes even after death, and I am no longer afraid of this."

Zhong Cuihua wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Why!"

"Sister-in-law."

"What are you talking about on this fine day?"

Huang Jintao pulled Zhong Cuihua's hand. Zhong Cuihua's life has been really hard in the past two years. The white-haired person gave her to the black-haired person. What's more, Zhao Dahai had no one to discipline her in the previous two years and became a bastard. Seeing her change of heart now, and repairing the fishing boat to go out to sea, worrying must be worrying, but this is what a serious person should do, and Zhong Cuihua would say that.

"well!"

"It's a good day!"

"We won't talk about it."

Zhong Cuihua laughed, took Huang Jintao's hand, turned and walked towards the village. Going to sea was a man's business, just take a look, there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat, the bow of the boat crossed the sea, the waves split into two sides, the sea breeze blew head-on, and the sun was shining directly above his head. After driving for two hours, Zhao Shi, who had been sitting on the bow smoking a hookah, waved his hand and slowed down.

"This is where your father and mother go."

Zhao Shi patted the ship's plank.

Zhao Dahai's heart was shaken, tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried loudly. There were some things that no matter how resigned and accepted they were, they would be extremely sad if they were touched.

PS: I’ve written this chapter. Zhao Dahai is going to sea.

When I wrote the words Zhao Shi said, "Your children in your own family should look after you, to keep you rich and safe", I was very emotional. A person who grew up by the sea would hear news of someone's death every few years.

The sea not only has gifts, but it also has cruelty, it depends on who gets it.
