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

The small pier of Langtou Village.

Zhao Dahai watched Zhou Fucheng yelling at the two people to work. They moved the ship planks piece by piece from the truck and piled them neatly on the beach next to them. He bought all the ship plans for use and only spent fifteen thousand. Eight hundred yuan, compared with newly opened wood, it saves seven or eight thousand yuan every time. What kind of bicycle do you want?

Zhao Dahai remembered that his fishing boat was behind the forest, and it was a bit difficult to drag it out after repairing it. He took advantage of the fact that it was not repaired and was not heavy enough to move it outside. He spoke to Zhao Shi and slapped the back of his head.

Zhou Fucheng smiled and told Zhao Dahai that the fishing boat had not been repaired, especially because part of the ship's planks were removed. The force was uneven and it was easy to cause problems when moving. If it was light, it would loosen or if it was heavy, it might collapse. In addition, the beach was a place where fishing could be done. People come and go, it's better during the day, but at night it's troublesome to bump into each other in the dark. Worried that the fishing boat will not be able to get into the water? There are ways. Not to mention boats that are just over ten meters tall, there are ways to do things even bigger.

Only then did Zhao Dahai understand what had happened.

Zhou Fucheng finished unloading the ship's planks and looked at the ship to be repaired to see if he could take over the job. However, when he thought that Zhao Shi was a good man, he gave up his mind and took his people in the car to leave.

The sun is setting, and the sky is red with sunset glow.

Zhao Dahai pulled the waterproof plastic sheet to cover the piled boat planks. The weather on the beach changes quickly and the dew is heavy at night. The wood has new cuts. Some places have been painted, but they have been exposed to wind and sun for many years and have not been used much. Once they are wet, they must be dried. Only then can we work, wasting time in vain. In addition, covering it will prevent naughty children in the village from climbing up. Safety first.

"The sea!"

"The boat plank is back!?"

…

"Yo!"

"It's almost time to go fishing!"

…

"You have to shout for help. If you don't know how to do anything else, you have enough strength!"

…

Zhao Shi squatted on the ground and smoked a hookah. The village pier was very lively at this time. People coming and going greeted Zhao Dahai and felt very happy. Zhao Dahai was a gangster two years ago, and everyone in the village looked down upon him. If you encounter someone, you will pretend not to see it or even stay away from it. During this period of time, you have worked hard, especially if you make money, which makes a difference.

"Second Grandpa!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Dahai finished building the boat and saw Zhao Shi smoking a hookah. He was thinking about something and shouted.

Zhao Shi stood up, picked up the hookah, turned around and left.

Zhao Dahai smiled. All the old people in the village are like this. Those who are not married are treated like children. They have cheerful smiles on their faces. They are not allowed to take out a piece of candy from their pockets. Once they get married or become a householder like themselves, they have something to say. Don't talk nonsense if everything is fine. If you don't do your job well, you won't have a good face and directly scold others.

Zhao Dahai packed up his things and was about to go back. From a distance, he saw two people, Zhong Shizhu and Lei Da, striding over with fishing nets. He turned to look at the sea. There were a few small waves but not high. The wind that came last night was strong. It was still quite big until this morning, but it came and went quickly. I was busy and didn't notice it just now, but now I saw people on the fishing boats busy working, preparing to go out to sea for fishing.

Zhao Dahai waited for Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou to come over. After chatting for a while, he took his packed things and got on his motorcycle to go home.

Zhao Dahai returned home, drank some water and rested for a while, then walked to the vegetable field behind the house. The fastest-growing vegetables were ready to be eaten. He picked a pound of vegetables and watered them again before returning to the yard.

Zhong Cuihua saw the green vegetables in Zhao Dahai's hands and smiled and said that she didn't need to buy them in the town now and saved a lot.

Zhao Dahai pulled up a stool and sat in front of Zhong Cuihua. While choosing vegetables, he said that he and his second grandfather Zhao Shi bought a boat plank today and would start officially repairing the fishing boat tomorrow. It was almost six o'clock when he finished talking and left with the picked vegetables. I went into the kitchen to cook dinner. I didn't do much work today. I was running outside. I cooked dinner simply. I fried salted fish, stir-fried a dish of vegetables, and after thinking about it, I cracked two eggs and cooked a bowl of soup.

Zhao Dahai made dinner, set the table in the yard, and called his grandma Zhong Cuihua to eat with him.

Zhao Dahai went to bed early after dinner and got up just after five o'clock the next day. Instead of going to work immediately, he rushed to the town on his motorcycle and went directly to the vegetable market to buy a big pig's trotter and a big keel. After eating lotus roots and tofu, I had to ask my second grandfather Zhao Shi to help with the work. If he gave me money, he would definitely fall out, so he could only make better food.

Zhao Dahai was carrying the purchased meat and vegetables. There were many people in the meat and vegetable market in the morning. He was anxious to rush back to the village and had no choice but to squeeze forward slowly.

"ah?"

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Dahai turned around and saw that Ding Xiaoxiang was less than two steps away from him, looking at him with wide eyes.

"I'm here to buy some meat."

"What are you doing here? Don't you need to guard the fish stall?"

Zhao Dahai raised the bag he was carrying. There were many people buying vegetables in the morning. When business was at its best, Ding Xiaoxiang had been helping her family sell fish. At this time, she should be guarding the stall.

"I'm here to buy breakfast. It's still early, and we won't be busy until half an hour later."

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Dahai, hesitated, and asked if he hadn't gone fishing recently and why he hadn't come to the fish market to sell fish.

Zhao Dahai looked at the buns Ding Xiaoxiang was carrying and said that he had dug up blood eels a few days ago and sold them to Liu Gang's restaurant. He had been repairing the fishing boats recently and went out to sea to fish after the fishing boats were repaired.

"When I repair the fishing boat and go out to sea to catch fish, remember to give me a high price when I get it to you."

Zhao Dahai is not joking. When you go out to catch fish, you will definitely go to the fish market from time to time. If you don't lick the dog, you will definitely have to meet Ding Xiaoxiang more. The more you see, the more you will get to know each other, then you will have a chance. Now it is not just a matter of a matchmaker asking for a meeting. The age of marriage.

"ah?!"

"It doesn't matter what I say. The price of the fish is all determined by my mother."

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.

Zhao Dahai looked at Ding Xiaoxiang's serious look on her pretty face, which was a bit baby-fat, and almost couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch it.

"You were talking about repairing fishing boats just now? What kind of fishing boats are you repairing!?"

…

"If you have fish to sell, come early in the morning. My mother won't be here at that time."

…

"I have to go back!"

"Don't be troublesome when my mother comes to look for it later."

…

Zhao Dahai stood at the entrance of the meat and vegetable market. Ding Xiaoxiang was walking quickly towards the fish market. After waiting for a while and losing sight, he walked towards his motorcycle parked on the side of the road. It was already 6:30 in the morning, so hurry up and rush back. The village is busy repairing boats.

Sister Li’s fish stall in the fish market.

Zhang Li cleaned up the fish on the fish stall, picked up a towel and wiped her hands. She looked at Ding Xiaoxiang who was sitting on the chair holding a bun. She was eating a little hastily. Her little mouth was so full that it looked like a squirrel. I don’t know. Why, I always felt something was wrong. I bought breakfast and came back with a smile on my face.

"mom!"

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and eat for a while, you will be busy!"

Ding Xiaoxiang swallowed the bun in her mouth hard. She just met Zhao Dahai. Although she didn't intend to make an appointment or anything, she just met and chatted for a while. She felt a little guilty.

"What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Zhang Li picked up a steamed bun and stared at Ding Xiaoxiang while eating it.

"ah?"

"Where is the happy thing?!"

"mom!"

"Someone is here to buy fish!"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. She couldn't talk about Zhao Dahai's affairs. Once she talked about it, I would get angry again. She happened to see a person coming over and had an idea to remind Zhang Li.

"boss."

"Want to buy something?"

"Today's nine-section shrimp and golden drum fish are both good."

Zhang Li turned around and saw that someone was really coming to buy fish. As soon as she put the bun in her hand, she quickly said hello and Ding Xiaoxiang immediately forgot about something not quite right.

Ding Xiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, finished her buns in a few seconds, and helped sell fish.
