Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 51
"mom!"

"Is this the fourth trip?"

"Too capable!?"

Ding Xiaoxiang watched Zhao Dahai passing by on a motorcycle full of mussels, she knew that her mother didn't like to mention Zhao Dahai, but she couldn't help it.

Zhang Li was upset, but she couldn't refute it.Once or twice a year, there is a big low tide. I don’t know how many people go to the sea to dig mussels. Those who come to play are not counted. Those who usually go fishing can only go once. Not many.Zhao Dahai ran four times, each time weighing three or four hundred catties. Others walked, Zhao Dahai drove a motorcycle, which saved the time and effort of picking, but it didn't take effort. Others Not to mention, it is impossible for the mussels to get into the net bag by themselves, they have to be dug and packed. The four times of digging weighed a thousand and eight hundred catties, and it took four or five people to do the work by one person.

"Dahai is really amazing!"

……

"It's as dirty as a mud monkey! I'm really willing to work hard!"

……

"There are not many children who can endure such hardships now! How much more money can they earn if they all go to work in the electronics factory? Isn't it just for comfort?"

……

"Hey!"

"This child is poor!"

……

Zhang Li turned her head, and a few steps away from her were a few old men in their sixties and seventies, squatting on the ground smoking hookah, they must be people from Langtou Village, they had nothing to do to watch the fun.

"This big brother."

"Are you talking about the guy who pulled mussels on a motorcycle just now?"

Zhang Li didn't pay attention at first, but when someone said that Zhao Dahai was pitiful, she couldn't help asking.

Ding Xiaoxiang's little hand holding the water glass tightened, and immediately pricked up her ears.

"Ha ha!"

"That's right. That kid. Zhao Dahai. We're from Langtou Village."

……

"The father and mother of the sea went fishing two years ago, but they were caught in the wind and never came back."

"There are only him and his 70-year-old grandmother left in the family."

……

"Without discipline, Hai Hai has become a bastard. I feel that this family can't survive, who wants to work hard? It's really hard to work!"

……

"Isn't there a saying that the prodigal son turns back?"

"Daihai was only young in the past two years, but now he is sensible!"

……

"Our place is poor, but as long as we are willing to work hard, we can live well!"

……

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect such a thing.

"mom!"

"I didn't expect Zhao Dahai to be in such a situation."

Zhang Li looked back and saw that Ding Xiaoxiang's eyes were red with tears.

"Ding Xiaoxiang!"

"Tell you, don't miss this kid!"

Zhang Li's heart was full of alarm bells. As a woman, she knew too well that once she sympathized with a man, there would be a shadow in her heart. It doesn't mean that she must talk about marriage or something, but she must be a little more thoughtful than other men. Talking cheap, asking what this is for, I regret it very much.

"mom!"

"What did you say?"

"How can this happen!"

"Don't talk about it, okay?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was angry and impatient, she was feeling sad and sympathetic about Zhao Dahai's matter, when her old lady dragged her on it again.

"Humph!"

"Your mother is a woman! Can you not understand a woman's mind?"

"It's better not to have such a thing! If there is any, we should stop it as soon as possible!"

Zhang Li didn't let go.

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at her tigress-like old woman, feeling extremely wronged, she was 16 years old this year, she cared about this and that, and talked about everything she didn't have every day, it was too much, she tightly pursed her mouth and didn't say a word.

Seeing Ding Xiaoxiang like this, Zhang Li felt a little regretful. Her daughter is grown up and has her own ideas. Just now, she said something too harshly. She just wanted to make up a few words to ease it up. A big truck came here to pull mussels. A few thousand catties piled together for a long time will kill some of them, so there is no delay, so we can only work first, and we can only talk about Ding Xiaoxiang later.

Zhao Dahai's motorcycle stopped at the door of his house, and all the mussels were unloaded. He walked into the yard and saw his grandma Zhong Cuihua sitting on a low stool with a pile of cooked and open mussels in her left hand, and a large iron basin by her right foot. I was peeling the meat one by one, looked at the tens of catties of meat in the big iron basin, and looked at the smell of boiled mussels coming from the kitchen, I was busy pulling mussels in the sea today, and my grandma was at home Also never stopped,

Zhao Dahai immediately supported Zhong Cuihua to stand up slowly, walked a few steps, moved his legs and feet, poured a glass of water and drank a few sips, he had to rest, and at the age of 70, he did not dare to fight like this.

Zhao Dahai sat down on a low stool and began to peel the mussels. The tide was almost up, and it was too late to go down again.

Zhong Cuihua took a break and wanted to help with work.

"grandmother!"

"It's getting late!"

"The sun is almost going down. After a busy day, I'm hungry. Why don't you go cook and make a whole piece of pork belly. The mussels are fresh and boil two or three catties. Let's have a good meal."

Zhao Dahai knew that he had to find some work, otherwise Zhong Cuihua would definitely have to peel these mussels for himself. This task looked easy, but it required sitting still for a long time, mechanical labor, and the waist and legs of the elderly could not bear it.

"Ha ha!"

"Row!"

"Then I'll cook first. I'll help you later."

Zhong Cuihua knew that Zhao Dahai wanted to take it easy, but he really had to cook, so she nodded with a smile.

Three in the morning.

The moon hung in the sky, only the size of a sickle.

The stars do not know what kind of place they are hiding in, and there are not a few of them in the entire sky.

There is a lamp hanging in the yard.

Zhao Dahai was busy working under the dim light. He picked up a cooked open mussel with his left hand, and gently stroked the knife in his right hand against the shell. A plump mussel fell to his feet. As time went by, more and more mussels became fleshy. This was already the second basin, and the one that had been peeled earlier had been dried on the dustpan.Grandma Zhong Cuihua originally wanted to help out all the time, but she was getting old, so she rushed back to bed just after twelve o'clock.

Five in the morning.

The sky showed a white belly.

The roosters in the village crowed non-stop. After the east crowed, the west crowed, and the south crowed and the north did not show weakness.

Picking up the sea and using both hands, he came out of the kitchen with a basket of freshly cooked mussels. This was the last pot. He sat down and continued to work.

The red sun rose from the sky, and the whole village was immediately covered with a layer of golden light.

Zhao Dahai stood up, moved his hands and feet, worked all night, finally finished his work, and beat his back a few times, thankful that he let his grandma go to bed early, his body is hard at this age, let alone a 70-year-old man.

Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard with a big iron basin. The dustpan was not enough, so he took two straw mats, washed them clean, spread them on the concrete floor, and spread out the mussel meat one by one. Dry.

Zhao Dahai spread out the mussel meat, cleared out the huge pile of shells in the yard with baskets, fetched water, rinsed the whole yard, cleaned up the iron basin, it was already [-] o'clock in the morning, sat down on a chair and rested for a while , Thinking about going to bed after breakfast, unexpectedly closing his eyes and falling asleep immediately.

After Zhong Cuihua finished cooking breakfast, she walked in and saw Zhao Dahai sleeping soundly on a chair. She wiped her eyes in distress. She was exhausted, but there was nothing she could do. She was old and couldn't help much, so she had to rely on Zhao Dahai. The sea alone.
