sailing trip

In the small village of Hines.

"Grandma, grandma, we're back!"

There was a youthful voice in the distance. One boy was carrying a bucket full of fish, and the other was holding fishing rods, fishing nets and other tools. The two trotted all the way to a small wooden house.

Pushing open the door, the boy holding the barrel shouted excitedly: "Grandma, we caught a lot of fish again today!"

The old man was sitting on the bed mending clothes for the two brothers. Seeing the two brothers come back and put down their work, the old man smiled and said, "I'm back, sit down and drink some water."

"It's okay, grandma, we're not tired, Ryan and I will go to the vegetable garden later."

"Yeah, grandma, your eyesight is bad, don't keep doing these things, Jie and I can do it ourselves."

"Grandma is fine, she's idle too, go to the vegetable garden and get a cabbage back, and go to Joseph's next door to exchange some dried seaweed, grandma will make fish soup for you later."

"Okay! Let's go!" After speaking, the two pushed the door open and ran to the vegetable garden.

Ryan and Jay are two orphans.Grandma found them abandoned near the cabin. The first one she found was Jie. Grandma thought the children were cute and took them home. Later, she found Ryan.Grandma's husband joined in the upsurge of sailing for the whole people in his early years, but unfortunately, he encountered a storm during a sailing trip and never came back.For so many years, the grandparents and grandchildren have been dependent on each other, and grandma dotes on them in every possible way, but there is only one thing, that is, they are resolutely not allowed to participate in any actions related to navigation.

"Jie, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Ryan asked while watering the vegetable patch.

Jie hesitated and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, what about you?"

"Me, I want to be a teacher in the future, teaching children to read, and stay in this village with you and grandma. Do you want to be with us forever?" Ryan turned his head and asked Jie.

Seeing the light in Ryan's eyes, Jie shook off those strange thoughts before, nodded and said, "Of course, we will always be together."

"Yeah!" Ryan flashed a huge smile towards Jie.

"Let's go, go to Joseph's house next door." Jie said, holding a Chinese cabbage.

"Yeah." Ryan followed behind Jie happily.

After returning with a lot of kelp, Jie and Ryan returned to the cabin. Grandma had already handled the fish and was boiling water to cook the fish.

"Grandma, the kelp is on the table, is there anything else I can help?" Ryan said.

"Oh, it's nothing, you sit down and eat some fruit, the meal will be ready soon."

"Grandma, I'll be back soon." Jie stood up suddenly and said.

Ryan gnawed at the apple and looked at him suspiciously.

"Okay, don't go too far."

Jie walked out of the cabin and walked to the beach, looking at the workers who were building the boat and the sea in the distance, lost in thought.Ryan's problem put him in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't want to be separated from Ryan and grandma; and danger, even losing his own life, he also wants to have such an experience in his life.

Ryan looked at Jie in the distance, and suddenly understood his previous hesitation, yes, he was a little worried that Jie followed out, saw his gaze, saw his burning eyes looking into the depths of the sea, All of a sudden, he understood what he really wanted in his heart.Ryan was a little sad. It turned out that he was the only one who wanted to stay here and stay together forever. He never understood Jie.

Ryan didn't call Jie, and went back to the cabin quietly alone. Grandma saw Ryan walking back dejectedly and asked him with concern: "What's wrong? Why didn't you come back with Jie?"

Ryan didn't dare to tell Grandma Jie what he was thinking, but replied softly: "He wants to be alone for a while longer."

Grandma didn't say anything more.

After a while, Jie opened the door and came back. Ryan raised his head and looked at him, unable to see Jie's mood at the moment.Jie didn't show anything, and said as usual: "I've been waiting for a long time, let's eat."

Everyone ate the meal with their own concerns, grandma lay back on the bed to rest, Ryan washed the dishes, and Jie was clearing the table.After everything was packed, Ryan said softly to Jie, "Let's go for a walk."

Jie looked at Ryan a little strangely and nodded.

Ryan took Jie to the place before the meal. He took a deep breath and said, "Jie, I know you want to leave here. It's okay. Grandma can be taken care of by me. You can go if you want."

Jie suddenly understood Ryan's reticence and unhappiness at noon today, and hurriedly explained: "No, I don't want to leave here alone, I want to be with you and grandma, I just want to be a sailor , to take part in a real sailing voyage."

Ryan's eyes widened: "Ah, sailing is so dangerous, grandma doesn't allow us to participate in sailing."

Jie lowered his head and said softly, "Yes."

Ryan looked at Jie's disappointed expression and said, "Although I don't know why you want to go to sea so much, I still support you."

Jie looked up at Ryan's sincere face, hugged him and said, "Thank you, Ryan. But I won't go for the time being. I still want to take care of you and grandma."

Ryan patted Jie on the broad back and said, "I will always support you, you will always be my closest person."
