Rebirth of the Routine King

Wang Dacai suddenly felt ashamed. He had made similar promises to his wife countless times.

From the very beginning of our marriage, we have said that when Wang Yuan goes on summer vacation, our family of three will go out to sea...

But with Wang Yan's arrival, this promise was pushed back a few years.

When Wang Yan was older, Wang Zhouzhou came to the family again, and the promise was postponed for a few more years...

Wang Zhouzhou finally grew up, but the pressure of life made Wang Dacai dare not have such extravagant thoughts.

It was not until recent years that life finally improved, but the construction of a new house and Wang Yuan's marriage emptied Wang Dacai's wealth.

The promise of seeing the sea has been postponed indefinitely...

What makes Wang Dacai even more ashamed is that whenever he brings up the idea of ​​seeing the sea, his wife will gently nod her head with longing in her eyes and never utter a word of complaint or dissatisfaction.

If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?

This makes Wang Dacai even more determined. No matter what, he will take his wife on a trip to sea in the next few years!

Now, as Wang Yuan's door and window business has gradually stabilized, and Wang Yan has become more sensible, Wang Dacai feels that it is time to put the idea on the agenda.

This is his plan. In the past two years, he will earn some money, and apart from the tuition fees for his two brothers Wang Yan and Wang Zhouzhou, he will also save some money for traveling with his wife.

But as he got older, the ways to make money became much narrower, so when he heard that the grain depot needed porters, he went there with Yang Gang from the same village without any hesitation.

Although it is harder work, the wages are quite considerable! One hundred thirty or forty yuan a day!

The only regret is that the construction period is too short and can only be completed in a few days.

It seems that I will have to keep an eye on some odd jobs like this in the future...

As he thought about it, the light in Wang Dacai's eyes gradually brightened, as if he could stand on the deck of a cruise ship with his wife tomorrow...

But Wang Yan in his previous life knew that his mother, Li Xinlan, never fell in love with the sea that was in her heart until her death.

Wang Dacai fulfilled his promise, depended on each other for life and death, and was buried in the sea together with Li Xinlan's ashes.

...

.......

As for why Li Xinlan is so obsessed with the sea, it all starts from the beginning of their acquaintance.

Wang Dacai was one of the first people in Yangjiacun to go out to work. At the age of 16, he first went to Zhejiang Province to work in a factory. By chance, he met a local friend.

This friend of his is in the boating business. During the fishing season, he will go fishing with the fishing boat. The salary is very considerable! He can earn a thousand yuan in one trip.

You must know that this was in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, a household worth ten thousand yuan was the name of a wealthy family!

The young Wang Dacai was tempted. The poverty in his childhood had already made the seeds of making money take root in his heart, so he started sailing with his friends.

After getting on the ship, Wang Dacai realized that the so-called trip actually lasted four months!

But thinking of the huge profits, Wang Dacai gritted his teeth and stayed on the boat.

As the fishing boats get further and further away from the land, there are more and more fish in the sea, and the waves in the sea become stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, one

Everything went smoothly, and the fishing boat was fully loaded, but people are always greedy. When they were about to return, the captain ordered to catch the last fish before heading back home.

........

Wang Dacai remembers that night very clearly. The sky was clear and cloudless, the full moon as big as a bucket hung in the blue sky, the sea surface had no waves, and densely packed fish were clearly visible, more crowded than the stars in the sky!

But just after setting off the net, the weather began to change suddenly, and soon there were strong winds, and waves several meters high were beating mercilessly against the side of the ship!

Including Wang Dacai, all the catchers concentrated their energy. Following the captain's order, everyone began to close the nets.

Just as the heavy fishing nets were about to enter the boat, a strange wave lifted the boat to an incredible angle. Coupled with strong winds, five people, including Wang Dacai, instantly fell into the sea.

Although Wang Dacai is proficient in water skills, in this rough sea, no matter how good a sailor is, he cannot escape the fate of drowning.

Wang Dacai was undoubtedly lucky. When he was about to be submerged by the wave, he reached out and caught the cable thrown from the boat.

However, the other four people were not so lucky and were buried in the embrace of the sea forever.

Only after being rescued on the boat did he realize that among the four people swallowed by the sea, the friend who had brought him here was one of them.

After landing ashore and paying his reward, Wang Dacai immediately returned to Yangjia Village. He kept silent about his experience at sea.

...

After a month of idleness at home, Wang Dacai hired a carpenter and worked with him everywhere.

Until one day, he followed his master to Li Xinlan's house to work.

At that time, Li Xinlan's eldest brother was about to get married and was anxious to find a master to make a piece of furniture.

As for Li Xinlan, she was waiting to be married and had nothing to do to help her parents feed the pigs and herd the sheep.

Due to the principle of attraction between boys and girls of the opposite sex, Wang Dacai became very interested in this girl who didn't talk much and was extremely good-looking.

He was also thick-skinned at that time, and whenever he had free time, he would go to talk to Li Xinlan. However, at the beginning, Li Xinlan was not very interested in this talkative boy, so he just said a few perfunctory words and went to take care of her sheep.

By chance, Wang Dacai discovered that Li Xinlan was painting.

In fact, it can't be called painting. It's just a piece of shabby paper smeared with plant juice at will. On the top of the paper, a few words are written neatly in strokes: Lanlan's sea.

Wang Dacai laughed at that time: "The word "lan" was written wrong, it should be blue."

The girl rolled her eyes at him: "What do you know? My name is Lan Lan. In my heart, this is my sea."

Wang Dacai thinks the girl is so cute that even rolling her eyes is a sight to behold.

He immediately said: "Actually, the sea is not always blue. When you first enter the sea, it is yellow, and sometimes it is gray. Only when you have sailed for a certain distance will it turn blue. But when you really get to the depths of the sea, the color changes again."

It turned black."

Li Xinlan gave him a strange look and said, "How do you know so much? Have you ever seen the sea?"

Wang Dacai's expression changed. The unforgettable experience at sea came to his mind again, but he quickly recovered.

, smiled and said: "Not only have I seen the sea, I have also been floating on the sea for half a year!"

Hearing this, Li Xinlan's eyes suddenly brightened up, and she asked many questions in one go:

Have you ever seen a whale? Is it really as big as a room?

Have you ever seen dolphins? Do they really chase ships?

Is the sunrise on the sea beautiful? Is the sunset spectacular?

.......

This girl who thought she didn't like to talk suddenly turned into a question expert and kept asking questions...

The most surprising thing was Wang Dacai. Seeing the girl he liked asking for advice, he felt extremely satisfied and proudly told her about the deeds on the sea...

In the next half month, Li Xinlan would hang out with Wang Dacai whenever she had something to do, and pester him to tell stories about the sea.

Wang Dacai did not hide anything. From the beauty of the sea, to the waves of the sea, to the myths and stories about the sea, everything he knew was told to Li Xinlan one by one.

Unconsciously, each other's voices and smiles gradually entered each other's hearts.

What surprised Wang Dacai was that the memories of the sea that originally frightened him the most disappeared bit by bit!

He thought that this fear would accompany him throughout his life, but he didn't expect that when he recalled the scene of the sea, it would be filled with Li Xinlan's smiling face.

He was ignorant and didn't know what force had eliminated his fear of the sea.

In fact, that is the power of love...

.......

Good times always pass by in a flash. The work of Li Xinlan's family is finally finished, and Wang Dacai is about to leave for the next family.

Seeing the reluctance in Li Xinlan's eyes, Wang Dacai made the most correct decision in his life and secretly gave Li Xinlan a small note with one sentence written on it: Date in the county town in three days.

Three days later, Wang Dacai arrived with anxiety. What he didn't expect was that Li Xinlan had been waiting for a long time.

In love, this weak-looking woman is far braver and stronger than Wang Dacai imagined!

In the second half of the year, the two met like this every now and then until the matchmaker came to Li Xinlan's house to propose a match.

Li Xinlan refused, saying that she already had a sweetheart and would not marry anyone but him!

In this way, Wang Dacai was brought to light.

Naturally, the Li family did not agree to marry their daughter to an outsider, but Li Xinlan's heart was as strong as iron! She went on a hunger strike for three days to show her determination.

Finally, Wang Dacai took out the reward from fishing and finally welcomed Li Xinlan back to Yangjiacun.

On the wedding day, in order to express their dissatisfaction with the marriage, no one from the Li family came.

This was supposed to be the wedding ceremony of the great joy of life, but Li Xinlan burst into tears.

Until late at night, still choking, Wang Dacai just gently held Li Xinlan in his arms and whispered softly in her ear:

"I promise you, when I make money, I will take you to see Lanlan's sea..."
