Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  The couple stayed on the isolated island until two o'clock in the afternoon. They didn't stop until the tide was slowly rising. Four bags of various shells were also piled up on the beach next to them.

  Lin Xiuqing looked at the barnacle shells on the reef wall with unsatisfied interest, "I can't finish digging every day."

"Well, they are all things that no one wants. Who has time to waste time digging here every day? There are only big conch shells and sea oysters that can be sold for some money, and the rest can't be sold for money. I specially sailed out for a trip , It’s not worth it. Occasionally come here for a while, and it’s okay to serve it as a side dish.”

   "Then I went back. After being out for so long, I don't know what happened to the children at home, and I don't know if my daughter will cry to find me."

Thinking about it, she felt very sorry. All day today, she was always thinking about the children at home, but she came all the time, and she couldn't return empty-handed, or go back halfway without loading much. Gasoline money is needed to go back and forth. of.

   "Well, you go up, I will carry these treading water and walk over."

   "Let me help you..."

"No, some of the reefs are uneven, and some are easy to slip. You can go first and get on the boat yourself. It's only a few sacks that are heavier. I'll just carry them a few times. Leave the buckets to me too. .”

   "Can you do it alone? Will it be too heavy?"

   "It's not going to be all right, you're not full, I'll just carry it back and forth a few times."

   "Then I'll watch here first."

   "You go to the ship first, and you can pick up the goods for me later."

   "Okay, then I'll go there now."

  Ye Yaodong talked a few words before she boarded the boat first.

  Looking at the several sacks next to him, he frowned and gritted his teeth. He touched his shoulder. Before he lifted it, he already felt the pain, and some felt it after a while.

  These unshelled ones were heavy and piercing, and when they were all loaded onto the boat, his shoulders were red all over.

  After thinking about it, it is better to carry the lighter ones first, carry a few barrels onto the boat first, and then he will carry the 4 sacks.

Lin Xiuqing watched him laboriously carry the sacks onto the boat, and thought that he would not have dug so much if he knew it earlier. The couple were so tired of digging and carried so hard, and they had to share some with the neighbors when they went back. My heart aches. her man.

   "It's too heavy, and it's really hard to move. If I knew it, I would have asked my father to come with me. Shouldn't my shoulders be red? Show me."

   "It's okay, just move it up, and look at it when you go back. You sit and rest for a while, and I'll sail the boat."

"good."

  Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders while driving the boat. After returning to the shore, he had to carry the cart again.

  Fortunately, there are quite a few people on the shore, so I asked a few uncles I knew to help out.

   "The two of you went out to sea in the morning to dig these shells on the island? These are worthless, and it's exhausting to come back after so much. If you want to eat, just dig some, anytime."

"Yes, it is heavy and heavy. When you dig the meat, there is only a little bit. It takes a lot of effort to dig it. My wife will hunt some sea oysters when she is free. I really don't bother to dig other things. .”

   "Who says it's not? Just let the women in the family do it, why don't you follow along? With this skill, you can earn a lot by just doing some work."

Ye Yaodong explained: "We are trying to save trouble and make it convenient. My family is very busy now, and I don't have time to dig around the surrounding stone walls for two days. There is no goods in the sea these two days. I am also idle when I am idle. , just went out and came back a little later."

   "Yo... There are still a lot of fish in this bucket!"

   "Did these all be picked up? Oh, there are so many dog ​​sharks?"

   "The ground cage received the goods, right? There is still a basket of fish, shrimp and crabs there. These dog sharks can live for more than ten hours without water, so they are still alive."

   "The harvest of your ground cage today is quite good, but the dog shark has collected so many?"

   "Huh? There's also a grouper here, a tiger spot?"

   "Grass, there is a sesame spot in this bucket..."

   "So lucky!"

   "Damn, today's harvest is good! You don't seem to have many ground cages, right? So many good things, it must have blown up several nets."

  Ye Yaodong took a few ground cages by the way when he came back. He didn't expect these people to mistake the fish in his bucket for the fish in the ground cage. He didn't explain the perfect misunderstanding.

   "It's not bad! Today's harvest is not bad. I haven't been out to sea for many days. I almost drink the northwest wind. I have these goods today. Anyway, I can support me for a while."

   "You are exaggerating when you say this. No one who drinks the Northwest Wind will be able to drink the Northwest Wind."

   "After earning so much money, I still talk like this."

"Hey, didn't you just bought a shop in the city some time ago, and the money is about to be paid. How much money is left after the money is paid? The whole family is counting on me to make money. It's winter recently, and the harvest It’s really bad, and it’s windy every day.”

   "It's like this to rely on the sky to eat. If you go out to sea, you will freeze to death. When it gets colder, if you catch a cold, you might earn money to buy medicine."

   "This is unlucky..."

  Ye Yaodong saw that everything was loaded onto the cart, so he asked Ah Qing to watch, and he weighed all the goods that could sell for money and sold them.

   Seeing his harvest, Ah Cai still teased him, "You have the most goods from Dilongwang and Koreawang.com that came back today. The rest of the trawl nets haven't come back yet, so I don't think there are many goods."

   "Eating so-so."

   "It's humility to say this. When the shops in the city need to pay, let's go together? We all have a companion, and we all go to the same place anyway."

   "Okay, no problem."

  Ye Yaodong chatted for a while, and when the goods were sold out and the order was in his hands, he turned around and showed it to Ah Qing, letting her keep it. He directly held the two handles of the cart, ready to push it.

  But at this moment, he saw Ah Guang coming out again, but there was a mouse behind him?

   Following Ah Guang again?

   They saw him too, and walked right up to him.

   "Dongzi, did you go to sea today?"

"Just take your sister-in-law out to dig some shells, and take advantage of the good weather these two days, get some back and dig them out to dry in the sun, so you don't have to worry about the cold and windy weather, and you don't run out of stock when you go out to sea. Why did you come out to pick up the shells so early? Rat It's here too!"

   "I thought it was going to be windy, and I don't know what time I will be back? I came out early and waited, so as not to come out too late, and the boat has already landed."

  The mouse also said: "Hehe, I haven't worked for the past two days, so I went to Aguang's to drop by. He just came out to receive the goods, so I followed him out to help."

  Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched when he heard this.

  I thought that I would rely on him, but I didn't expect to choose Ah Guang. Is it because I think that Ah Guang's family is richer than his family, or what?

   In the past two days, you often go to Aguang's house to sit?

   Obviously, the ulterior motive is not in the wine.

  He aimed his eyes at Ah Guang, but saw that Ah Guang was full of helplessness, but there was nothing he could do to help him.

   "After I go back and divide up the goods inside, I will ask my mother to send some to you."

   "I'll go to your place to get the goods later, and I don't need to make my mother go. Anyway, apart from holding the baby at home, I am idle at other times."

   "It's all right, you can figure it out, does the mouse bring anything that can be packed? I will also pack a basket for you back."

  The mouse quickly laughed and said, "No, no, I'll get a basket when I get home later, and then I'll go to your place to pack some."

   "Yes, that's fine, then you can figure it out on your own, take the goods slowly, and I'll go back first."

  He pushed the cart and greeted them before taking a step forward.

  Lin Xiuqing also just greeted Ah Guang with a smile, and asked a few words about Huimei and the child's situation, and then they all left.

  After there was no one behind him, Lin Xiuqing said: "Your friend named Mouse will not go to Aguang every day for a few days, right?"

"It's hard to say. It may be the two boats of Ah Guang's family. His father came back after earning a lot of money. On the surface, the conditions are definitely better than ours. Moreover, he also wants to be the boss of Ah Guang's other boat. It’s bright, so maybe I’ve been a little more diligent in visiting the door.”

   "Hey, this is a good friend. If there is no conflict, maybe he will also buy the boat. It doesn't have to work so hard."

   "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. His wife's natal family is not very good. No matter how much others help, they can't fill the bottomless pit. This matter must be set up first. I don't know if I reminded him the day before yesterday. How will he go back?"

   "What happened to his wife's family?"

  Ye Yaodong saw that she was a little confused, so he explained to her what happened to them yesterday.

   "Well, I don't know if Ah Guang agreed to let him drive the boat for a few months."

   "Should I agree? Otherwise, why did you go to his house again today? When Ah Guang comes over later, just ask and you will know."
