The village of Zhoujiagou is a common village with the same surname in China. The whole village is surnamed Zhou and makes a living by fishing. After liberation, the fishermen got the land and farmed and raised fish. The seashore of Tianjin Port is all saline-alkali land, and nothing can be planted. But it is definitely not okay not to plant. They have their own old ways to deal with saline-alkali land. The main thing is to use water conservancy measures to wash salt and suppress alkali, so as to achieve the purpose of improving saline-alkali land, such as diverting water to wash salt, releasing silt to suppress alkali, and building terraced fields. As early as the Warring States Period, the Zhangshui Canal, which was used by the State of Wei to divert the Zhang River to irrigate Ye, was the earliest large-scale water conservancy project for diverting water to wash salt. At present, there are rice fields on both sides of this stream, and most of them have been harvested.

It can be said that this ditch is the lifeline of the village.

Seeing Chen Feng's family coming in a car, a group of clever people immediately surrounded the car.

Chen Jianjun brought some candies, but did not take them out.

He was afraid that after giving them away, the group of children would be even more reluctant to leave.

"Don't look, disperse."

A very prestigious old man called the children surrounding the carriage away.

The carriage continued to move and came to the southernmost corner of the village, which was also the mud-walled black-tiled house closest to the sea.

Three large mud-tiled houses, with their backs facing the sea in the east.

There are fruit trees in the front yard and a vegetable field in the back yard.

It takes a lot of effort to turn saline-alkali land into a vegetable field to dissolve the salt.

Han Fugui stopped the carriage.

Chen Jianjun got off the car first, and then carried the girl down.

Chen Feng got off and relaxed his hands and feet.

The little girl saw him and followed him, learning from him, but she didn't learn very well.

She twisted her neck and her butt.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Chen Hao asked.

"Stretching my muscles." Chen Feng said casually.

"Jianjun?"

The two old men came out of the mud-brick house trembling, and Chen Feng and Chen Hao hurried forward to support them.

The old man was not in good health. Modern fishermen engaged in fishing will suffer from various occupational diseases, and the fishermen of the previous generation are more serious.

Bronchitis, arthritis, back and leg pain, etc., make many fishermen rarely live beyond 40 years old.

"Grandpa, grandma."

"Are you Xiaofeng?" The old man was surprised: "Why are you so white?"

"You are taller too!" The old lady said with a smile.

"Tall, white and handsome, it will be easy to marry a wife in the future." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Haha, good!"

The two old people were very happy.

The little girl hid behind Zhou Qing, a little shy.

The little girl had been here before, but she had long forgotten it.

Zhou Qing picked her up and taught her, "Little Lili, say hello to Grandpa and Grandma."

The little girl whispered obediently, "Hello Grandpa, Hello Grandma."

"Okay, okay, all okay."

"Captain Chen, I'm going to the city, and another colleague of mine will pick you up in three days."

Han Fugui came to Tianjin for his own private affairs.

However, he and Chen Jianguo agreed to find another colleague to take them back when they returned.

A group of people entered the house, and Chen Jianjun took the things he brought from the bag.

Grandpa Zhou opened his mouth and was silent for a long time.

He felt a little guilty, but his family could not afford to eat, and they really needed food to save their lives.

Although the rice outside the village had just been harvested.

The old lady pulled her daughter.

"Too much, don't do this next time, especially the ducks, leave them for the three children."

Zhou Qing supported the old lady and said, "Mom, these are all caught by Xiaofeng, not bought."

"Really?"

The two old people were a little unconvinced.

Live mallards are not so easy to catch.

"Really, there are still some at home." Zhou Qing explained. "Dad, did my eldest brother and sister-in-law go fishing?"

"Yes, there is no food at home, and all the newly harvested food was taken away by the commune."

The old grandfather was a little resentful and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"I heard from your second uncle that the people above reported that we planted 3,000 kilograms per mu of land. This is nonsense. For our inferior land, we are lucky to get 100 kilograms per mu."

"If it weren't for the food coupons and money you sent back, and Jing'er secretly went fishing every night, our family would have run out of food long ago."

"Old man, don't say such disunity." The old lady stopped him and said, "Have you forgotten Zhao Dezhu next door? He was hung with a sign and paraded through the streets of the commune."

Old man Zhou was very upset and whispered, "This is the truth. It wasn't like this in the Republic of China. At least they could protest on the streets."

Chen Jianjun immediately changed the subject.

"Dad, where are Fubo and Dinghai?"

The Zhou family also has two cousins,

About the same age as Chen Hao, but not here.

The older Zhou Fubo was born in 1950, and the younger Zhou Dinghai was born in 1952.

"We went fishing at the beach."

Chen Feng heard it and immediately said, "Grandpa, I'll take a fishing rod to go fishing."

"I'll go too." Chen Hao said immediately.

"I, I'll go too."

The little girl got excited and said "I" again.

"You can't!" Zhou Qing hugged the little girl and stopped her from running around with her two brothers.

"Big pot."

The little girl looked at Chen Feng eagerly.

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Have fun at home, brother, I'll bring you something delicious later."

"Little bird?"

The little girl's mind was immediately diverted.

"Something more delicious."

Chen Feng took the fishing rod that was in the crack of the door, and Chen Hao also took one, and went to the kitchen to get two wooden barrels.

Seeing Chen Hao preparing to go to the village entrance, Chen Feng asked, "Chen Hao, what are you doing?"

"Brother, I'm fetching water."

"Are you stupid? There's water everywhere on the beach."

"That's right!"

The two brothers went to the beach with fishing rods, fish buckets, and shovels, and Lai Fu followed behind Chen Feng.

Chen Feng walked along the beach. Since taking the serum, his eyesight, hearing, and touch have been particularly good.

But after a while, he felt a little bit of sun.

Fortunately, it was afternoon. If it was morning or noon, the ultraviolet rays reflected by the ocean would be stronger and more harmful to the skin.

Seeing a movement on the beach, he took the shovel in Chen Hao's hand and walked over to dig it.

A small creature similar to an adult's finger was revealed in the dug sand, like two broken bamboo pieces.

"Brother, what kind of insect is this?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"Clams, good things to eat."

Chen Hao smiled slightly.

Chen Hao immediately threw the clams into the bucket.

Razor clams are a type of marine benthic shellfish that likes to live in low-salinity environments. Most of them thrive near the mudflats of rivers entering the sea.

This thing is very sensitive to pollution. By the 1980s, it was almost impossible to find it along the Bohai Sea coast.

Chen Feng likes to eat this "cheap" marine shellfish, even though many artificially cultivated clams have sand in their meat.

After looking around, he took a shovel and dug up more than a dozen clams.

"Let's go!"

"Brother, these insects are not enough to eat. How about digging some more." Chen Hao followed behind and said.

"Stupid, this is for fishing."

Razor clams have a strong fishy smell, so fish especially like to eat them.

This type of animal, such as river clams, snails, mussels, cockles, oysters, scallops, clams, razor clams, clams, etc., has a high hook rate when fishing with these aquatic animals.

They chose a reef area, and Chen Hao fetched half a bucket of water, and the two fished on the reef together.

There were quite a few people on the nearby reefs, most of them were teenagers.

But I didn't see Zhou Fubo and Zhou Dinghai, the two younger brothers.

"Cousin, cousin!"

Chen Hao shouted a few words while holding the bucket, and while he was not paying attention, Chen Feng changed the fishing rod, and the change time did not exceed one second.

"Who is this person?"

"I haven't seen him, probably someone from the dock."

A group of teenagers nearby said a few words and ignored Chen Hao.

Chen Feng picked up the rod, gently peeled off the shell of a clam, split it in two, hung its meat on the hook, and fished at the bottom.

If possible, of course, keep some clams to take back and eat.

"Brother, I didn't see my cousin and cousin."

Chen Hao looked at the other half of the clam on the reef, sat next to him, and hung the remaining half on the hook.

"Do you still remember them?"

Chen Feng was a little surprised.

They only see each other once a year, and only for a day or two. With the mentality of a child, it is somewhat difficult to remember their appearance.

"I don't remember."

Chen Hao's answer made Chen Feng speechless.

In less than three minutes, the fish was hooked.

Lifting the fishing rod, a red stingray more than 40 centimeters long was swinging under the fishing line, weighing almost 12 pounds.

"What a big, big strange fish!"
