Chapter 19 The fence is up!
Zhao Dahai walked out of the yard after breakfast. The wind was blowing very strong. He glanced at the sea in the distance. White waves continued one after another. No fishing boats dared to go out to sea in this weather. They all stopped in front of the village. small pier.
Zhao Dahai thought of the vegetable patch behind the yard and walked over immediately. He saw that there were more sprouting vegetable seeds. He could not delay any longer. He originally planned to go to the town to sell blue crabs today. Yesterday, I changed my mind in the evening. I have nothing to do today and I have to hurry up and put up the fence.
Zhao Dahai took the hatchet, told Zhong Cuihua to chop bamboo, and then went out to the mountain behind the village.
After Zhong Cuihua finished her blue crab porridge, she walked to the main room and sat down. Just as she was about to weave a fishing net, someone called her outside the door. In response, the courtyard door opened.
"Jin Tao."
"How did you get here?!"
"Have you had breakfast?!"
"Zhao Dahai, this kid wants to let me Let’s try something new and kill two blue crabs to make porridge.”
“Hey!”
"Each one costs dozens of dollars. Isn't it a waste for us to eat it?!"
"A few small fish and shrimps are enough. What's the point of eating something other than food? It just fills the stomach. "
Zhong Cuihua stood up, pulled a chair next to her, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Huang Jintao pulled Zhong Cuihua and shook her head. She came here after having breakfast.
“Hehehe!”
"This child of Dahai is filial."
"You can eat it after it's cooked."
"I'll bring you some freshly shaved sweet potatoes from the ground."
Put down the golden peach. Holding a small basket in his hand, he looked at Zhong Cuihua carefully while talking. The sad look on his face in the past two years suddenly disappeared. When he spoke, he smiled, and his face became a little rosier.
"Golden peach."
"You are here to talk about the children of the sea repairing fishing boats and going out to sea to fish, right?!"
Zhong Cuihua took the net shuttle to mend the fishing net. Huang Jintao came to him and must have talked about this.
"Old man Zhao Shi told me that Dahai wanted to repair the fishing boat and go fishing."
"I think the amount of fishing depends on the wishes of the Sea Dragon King."< br>
“No one knows when to get angry.”
"According to me, this kid like Dahai shouldn't go out to sea to fish. Dadong and Xiaodong are working outside. They don't have much money, two to three thousand yuan a month. If they are willing to put in the effort to work, they can get four to five thousand yuan. ”
“Safe.”
Golden Tao pulled the fishing net open so that Zhong Cuihua could mend it more easily.
Zhong Cuihua said nothing, and shook her head after a while.
“Huh?!”
"Sister-in-law."
"What on earth are you thinking?!"
"What happened to Dahai's father and mother happened two years ago."
Gold Tao was a little anxious.
“Hai Dahai’s children were really a bit of a bastard in the first two years.”
"Mom and dad are gone. It's normal to be like this."
"But all this has passed. In the past few days, it seems that I am living a down-to-earth life."
"In the past two years, I was just afraid I’m too embarrassed to see Dahai’s parents now.”
……
“This kid, Dahai, has had ideas since he was young.”
“No one can stop what I want to do.”
……
“I’m getting older. This child definitely doesn’t want to leave the village.”
……
"You must have something to make money if you stay in the village, right?!"
"In the future, you will have to marry a wife and have a baby. What doesn't require money?!"
"Don't go out to sea to catch fish. Fish, what else can there be? ”
……
Huang Huangtao didn’t know what to say for a long time after listening to Zhong Cuihua.
Who doesn’t know that fishing in the sea is very hard in the wind and sun? !
Who doesn’t know that fishing at sea is dangerous?
But what can be done?
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
There is no sun in the bamboo forest behind the village. The wind is very strong and the wind is blowing loudly. It is not stuffy at all and is very suitable for working.
Zhao Dahai chopped a lot of bamboo in one breath, tied it and counted more than a dozen bundles. He estimated that it was almost enough. He took a rest and was about to move it back when he remembered that Liu Bin told him that the fruit trees were planted in the wrong land. Walking to the top of the mountain, you have to see with your own eyes what is going on.
Langtou Village is low in front and high in back.
In front of the village is the sea.
Behind the village is a mountain. Which piece of land on the mountain belongs to which family is not something that can be decided now. The ancestors divided it hundreds of years ago. There is nothing to say if the family is extinct. As long as there are people in the family, it will be passed down from generation to generation.
Stone Mountain is less mud and more stone. It is very barren and cannot grow food or vegetables. It can only grow some fruit trees or other forest trees. There are few fruit trees planted, only three or five of them reach the sky. No matter what kind of fruit tree they are, they can't bear much fruit. They can't bear good fruit and can't be sold for money. Adults and children are greedy to eat what they pick at home. Most of them are pine trees that are drought-resistant and willing to grow. They can be used to cut firewood. When they grow up, they can be used to build houses, make furniture or even repair fishing boats.
Zhao Dahai climbed along the path for about an hour, and reached the halfway point of the mountain. His land was here and the other was on the top of the mountain. He had not been here for several years and almost couldn't find the place. After walking around for several times, he finally found the right direction and left. After a while, I saw someone walking through the grass on both sides of the trail.
Liu Bin is here?
Zhao Dahai continued to walk forward for about ten or twenty minutes. He vaguely saw someone in the woods not far away. He shouted and walked over to see. It was really Liu Bin, digging a tree and chatting. After a few words, I carefully looked at my woodland twice. The trees have grown a lot taller. I am thinking that I will cut off some forked branches in a few days so that the trees can grow taller and straighter. The cut branches will be dried in the sun. You can drag it home to make a fire and cook, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhao Dahai forgot about the bamboos in the bamboo forest and turned around to go down the mountain without waiting any longer.
Liu Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhao Dahai's back. The smile on his face disappeared. Fortunately, he went up the mountain today.
Zhao Dahai went down the mountain and returned to the bamboo forest. He carried the bamboos one by one and walked to the vegetable field behind his house. He originally wanted to dry them before building a fence, but the weather was bad today and he had nothing else to do. He just went to work right away. The big bamboos and the small ones The bamboo cooperated and began to build a fence.
The sun sets.
The sea breeze is level six or seven.
With the blockage of the house, the wind is much lighter.
Zhao Dahai looked at a half-person-high fence that had been erected along the edge of the vegetable field. The beans and the like had not sprouted, but the vegetable seeds had sprouted. In the morning, there were only a few, but in the evening they had grown. A few days later, the leaves will start to be drawn out in two or three days. The chickens and ducks in the village will not let go. They can't live without this thing. After a busy day, I feel full of accomplishment.
Zhao Dahai checked it and found that the fence was very stable. It was windy all day and there was no rain. The soil dried quickly. He went back to the yard to get water and watered it again.
"Huh?"
"Where did the sweet potato come from?"
Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen. Zhong Cuihua was cooking and peeling the sweet potato in her hand. I remember not having it at home.
Zhong Cuihua said that she brought the golden peaches in the morning and cooked them for dinner. There are endless things to do in the village every day, so we eat whatever we can. I put two more peeled sweet potatoes and cooked a pot of porridge with the rice. I didn’t finish all the small miscellaneous rice I caught yesterday. I heated it up and it filled me up. abdomen.
