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

dusk.

Zhao Shi and Zhu Jianfei were sitting on the beach, smoking hookahs, looking at the small pier and the fishing boats on the nearby beach, and chatting.

"There are a lot of fish in the sea recently."

"So what? If there are more fish, the price will be lower, and you won't make much money."

…

“It’s really hard to support our family just by fishing now.”

"Why else do so many people in the village go out to work?"

…

"Do you want to pay attention to Ma Guangcai's matter?"

"Zhao Dahai handled this matter perfectly. If I were younger, I would have broken Ma Guangcai's legs."

…

Zhu Jianfei took several strong puffs. The water in the hookah made a gurgling sound, and the tobacco in the cigarette holder suddenly turned red. He took the pipe away and a puff of white smoke came out.

"Yo!"

"As soon as I say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Isn't this Zhao Dahai's fishing boat back?"

Zhu Jianfei pointed in the direction of the village dock.

Zhao Shi turned around and looked over. Zhao Dahai's fishing boat was heading towards the dock.

"Didn't he catch the big grouper a few days ago? I'm really worried that he will go fishing for big grouper again these days."

Zhao Shi picked up the hookah and blew lightly on the gag. A small jet of water rushed out of the cigarette holder to wash away the almost burned tobacco. He took out an iron box from his pocket, opened it, kneaded some tobacco into a ball and stuffed it into the cigarette holder. I lit a match and took a few puffs.

"My sister's little granddaughter has heard of it, right?"

Zhu Jianfei looked at Zhao Dahai and stopped at the fishing boat dock. He thought about something. Two days ago, he went to the house of the elder sister who was married to the next village. Now I saw Zhao Dahai, thought about it for a while, and then spoke.

"oh?"

"The tall one in his teens?"

"The girl has changed her age. She looks great now, doesn't she?"

Zhao Shi thought for a while. He came to the village a few years ago and saw him. He was good-looking. He yelled when he saw people. He was not afraid of strangers at all and had a good personality.

"Zhao Dahai is about the same age. Can we meet the two children sometime?"

Zhu Jianfei looked at Zhao Dahai who was busy cleaning up on the parked fishing boat. In the past two years, he was lazy and lazy, and no one looked down on him. But now it is different. It didn't take long to make enough money to repair the fishing boat and go out to sea every day. I caught a lot of fish that day, and among other things, I could earn several thousand yuan from a gentian grouper. In this fishing village, if you are willing to work hard, you can support your family. There are not many good girls and there are also very few good boys. Not many people know about Zhao Dahai now, but if he keeps working like this, it won't take a year and a half for matchmakers from all over the country to come to introduce him to him.

"I remember that this kid from your sister's family went out to work after finishing high school, right?"

Zhao Shi remembered this.

Zhu Jianfei nodded. My sister's family thought that their grandson could be married in a nearby village so that they could meet him when he wanted. If he married outside, it would be in vain.

Zhao Shi thought about it for a while and agreed to talk to Zhao Dahai, but he didn't have any say in this matter. The family had been separated long ago. He was the elder but couldn't make up his mind on such a matter. Zhao Dahai was now the head of the family. Man, sister-in-law Zhong Cuihua is unlikely to say too much about this matter. It all depends on Zhao Dahai's decision. In addition, the age is different now, and it is unlikely that Zhu Jianfei's granddaughter will be willing to do this.

Zhu Jianfei knew what was going on. He watched Zhao Dahai finish his work on the fishing boat and get on the dock. He stood up and left first.

Zhao Dahai filled a bucket with seawater, fished out the fish from the living cabin and put them in. He carried them to the pier and walked a few steps when he saw Zhao Shi waving to him on the beach.

"Second Grandpa."

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Dahai walked to Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi glanced at Zhao Dahai carrying the fish in the bucket but did not answer.

"I haven't been able to catch any fish by swinging the pile in the past two days. I've been thinking about finding another way."

Zhao Dahai really hasn't caught any fish these days, so he has to think of something.

Zhao Shi ignored Zhao Dahai's words about not being able to catch fish. Anyone who has not encountered this problem when fishing at sea has long been used to it, and directly said what Zhu Jianfei told him.

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Zhao Shi to say this.

"Second Grandpa."

"It's not that we have a high vision. We don't have any conditions now, right? It would be great if someone can take a fancy to me."

"However, the girl you mentioned went out to work and is used to the big world outside."

“You definitely can’t stay in this fishing village.”

"Take our village as an example. In recent years, how many of the girls who have gone out to work have married nearby people? Especially those who have married young men who go fishing at sea?"

Zhao Dahai shook his head. Regardless of whether he is thinking about Ding Xiaoxiang or not, this matter is unreliable and is just wishful thinking of the older generation.

Zhao Shi thought about it, sighed, said nothing, took two steps and turned towards his home.

Zhao Dahai didn't think much about it. He carried the bucket home and walked into the yard. He took the fish out of the small bucket and put it in the big bucket. The oxygenator was on and bubbling.

Zhao Dahai looked at the less than twenty black snapper in the big bucket, each of which was no more than two taels and no more than three taels at most. He shook his head. It is not possible to continue like this. These are fish caught in two days, and the harvest can no longer be said. It's not good, but it's terrible. Not to mention that you can't get enough fish to sell in two or three days, or even ten or eight days.

Zhong Cuihua was cooking when she heard the noise. When she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Zhao Dahai standing beside the vat with not much smile on his face. She knew that today's harvest was not good.

"That's the thing with setting nets or fishing. How can you get rich every day?"

Zhong Cuihua yelled.

"ha!"

"grandmother."

"I understand that."

Zhao Dahai put down the scooping net in his hand, turned on the faucet to wash his hands and feet, Zhong Cuihua was worried that he would be comforted by the blow.

"We made a lot of money the past few days."

"How can I eat meat every day? Otherwise, I would have made a fortune long ago."

Zhao Dahai knew that going out to sea was like this. It was very normal to make a lot of money in good times and to drink northwest wind in bad times. The black snapper I caught in the past few days, plus the big grouper, made me 10,000 yuan. There is nothing dissatisfied about it. It’s just that I can’t catch fish by swinging the pile now. I can’t keep going like this. I have to think of other things. The method is that you will really die if you hang yourself from a tree. You can't be single-minded when going out to sea. If you catch a fish and catch the opportunity, you will kill it. But if you hit the south wall and there are no fish, you must change the place and change the method.

Cloudless.

The sun really shines.

Zhao Dahai took off his straw hat and fanned it a few times before putting it back on his head.

I went out to sea a little after five o'clock today, and it's almost ten o'clock now, with a black sea bream weighing more than a catty, and a few small stone Jiugong that are worthless and can only be eaten by myself.

As expected, it was another bleak day.

Zhao Dahai looked around. There were five or six fishing boats similar to his own. The one far away was a bit invisible and the one closer was only 180 meters away. He didn't know if it was an illusion. There were so many boats around him in the past two days. up.

There are more and more fish in the sea without fish. There is no way to survive like this!

Zhao Dahai picked up the bamboo pole and sailed the fishing boat to change places.
