Leisurely Fisherman's Bliss

Lin Jincheng drove his brand new car towards Haidao City, feeling very happy along the way.Originally, he was worried about buying a car, but he never expected that Lin Jincheng would finally encounter something unexpected after living for so many years.

The name Lin Jincheng was given by his grandfather, Jincheng Jincheng, Bright Future.Unexpectedly, Lin Jincheng has been unlucky since he was a child.First, his mother died, the pillars of the family collapsed, and his father became the laughing stock of the entire island. Lin Jincheng's life collapsed almost overnight.

That is to say, from then on, Lin Jincheng worked odd jobs while going to school, and went back to the island to help people fish and work on weekends and holidays. Although he had practiced sea kung fu, his academic performance must have been affected.Looking back on his past 20 years, Lin Jincheng felt sorry for his good name.

But at this moment, holding the steering wheel in his hands, Lin Jincheng had an inexplicable premonition—deciding to return to the island with Jingyang to live, perhaps this would be a turning point in his life.

Now that his son's school work has been settled and the house has been tidied up, then it's time for him to give it a go.

Lin Jincheng knew the situation of the island very well. The island was not big, and it would take less than an hour to drive around the island.

The small island is circular, and the northwest and northeast are the main distribution areas of fishing grounds. These two parts of the offshore area are divided into large and small fishing grounds, which are contracted by fishermen on the island.

In the past few years, the state has subsidized agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishing. In the past, some taxes had to be paid every year, but this was also abolished last year.But despite this, the income of fishermen on the island is still in a sluggish stage, and it is difficult to increase income.The economy of the island is difficult to revitalize, young people leave one after another, and the motivation to start the economy becomes weaker and weaker. This vicious circle has become the status quo of the island's economic development for many years, like a huge shackle.

Lin Jincheng has read some books introducing the current situation of fishery development in South America and Northern Europe. The income level of fishermen in those countries is hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of times higher than that here.In addition to policy orientation, reasonable operation is also a very important factor.

Of course, if fishing villages like Haidao really want to achieve great development, it is far from enough to rely on fishermen to catch fish and then wholesale them.Lin Jincheng seemed to have an idea in his mind, but it seemed that this idea was closer to a dream, a dream mixed with his lofty ambitions.

But adversity is also an opportunity. Breaking through the adversity and seizing the opportunity can lead the entire island to turn around.But Lin Jincheng's ambitions are not that ambitious, he can't control the macro economy, and right now he is most concerned about his own career.If you can't even eat enough for yourself, let alone help other people on the island.

In addition, the eastern part of the island is a sandy and soft golden beach. The warm wind blowing from the southeast makes it warm and humid all year round, and the sand is fine; due to poor tourist facilities, few people travel here now, so the beach is almost spotless. The sea is also rippling.On a sunny day, it is no exaggeration to say that it is not inferior to Hawaii and the few tourist-crowded islands in the Indian Ocean.

The entire sea area in the south of the island is a reef beach. Although there is no soft golden beach, due to the mild and humid climate all year round, a large area behind the reef beach is an endless grassland.This kind of grass is unique to the island. It is evergreen all year round, soft and tenacious, and it will not make people feel itchy no matter walking or lying on it.

When he was a child, when he was working part-time or when he was depressed, Lin Jincheng often went to the rocky beach alone, picked a rock washed clean by the sea or lay on the soft grass, and lay there for most of the day.

The houses of the residents on the island are mainly concentrated in the northwest and northeast, because they are close to S City, which is convenient for purchasing and communicating with the outside world; in addition, they are close to their own fishing grounds, which is also convenient for daily labor.

While Lin Jincheng was driving around the island to inspect, that idea vaguely formed in his mind.The white car finally stopped near a fishing ground in the northeast.Lin Jincheng was going to visit his family's fishing ground. After his mother passed away, the fishing ground had been abandoned.

Lin Jincheng originally planned to clean up, but when he got to the front, he realized that there was nothing to clean up there, just a very old broken iron boat that was about to be scrapped, and a dilapidated small fishing house.Not only that, but the surrounding fishing grounds also looked sluggish, dilapidated and old.A few houses not far away even put up a painted iron sign with "for sale" crookedly written on it.

Presumably, unless it is absolutely necessary, fishermen will not sell the means of making a living for their ancestors.

After Lin Dequan left, Lin Jincheng came to the small fishing house. There was a rusty iron lock hanging on it. It must have not been opened for several years.Lin Jincheng only had a house key in his hand, and he didn't have one here, so he simply raised his foot and kicked the wooden door open with a "bang".

After Lin Jincheng entered, he saw a stove, a wooden bed, and a table.Because the air is humid and no one comes in all year round, the corners of the walls are covered with hairs, and the smell is very pungent.

At this moment, Lin Jincheng heard a woman's voice outside the door: "Who's inside?"

Lin Jincheng was overwhelmed by the pungent smell, so he hurried out.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was almost hit by a woman holding a rolling pin.The fishing house of Chen Feixue's family was next to Lin Jincheng's. He didn't know that Lin Jincheng was back, and thought that a thief had been recruited in their house in broad daylight, so he took a closer look and took a look at it with a rolling pin.

Lin Jincheng turned around to hide, and then saw the woman clearly: "Chen Feixue?"

Chen Feixue saw who was coming, and ran into the fishing house next door without saying a word, holding a rolling pin.She was wearing a washed and whitish sportswear, and she had short, withered but neat short hair, which completely lost the sweetness of the past.

It is said that Chen Feixue and Lin Jincheng were classmates in junior high school. They were the classmate of their class back then, and their grades were good and they looked good. It's just that they didn't perform well in the senior high school entrance examination and went to a high school that was close to it.Later, Lin Jincheng lost contact with Chen Feixue.Lin Jincheng didn't expect to meet him in such a situation, things are different, it seems that he hasn't had a good life these years.

The reason why Chen Feixue ran away when she saw Lin Jincheng was entirely because she felt ashamed.Back then, they were all classmates, but she was returning to her hometown in good clothes, but she became an aging fisherman.Not only that, but also because the brother of a murderer who had just been released from prison couldn't hold his head up in the village.

Lin Jincheng walked into the cabin.Knocked on the door, but no one answered. After Lin Jincheng pushed the door open, he saw Chen Feixue boiling water on the fire with his back turned.

Lin Jincheng asked her: "Are you Chen Feixue? I am Lin Jincheng."

Chen Feixue turned around, with red eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "This fire is too hot. I heard that you graduated from university and stayed in a big city. Are you here to visit relatives this time?"

Seeing Lin Jincheng's clean and tidy appearance, Chen Feixue must have lived a good life. Back then, she was also on the same starting line as him. Thinking of this, Chen Feixue felt even more uncomfortable.

Lin Jincheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Visiting relatives? What kind of relatives do I want to visit here?"

Chen Feixue hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that..."

Lin Jincheng continued: "I don't plan to leave this time, I plan to do something on my own. How about you, how have you been in the past few years? Stay on the island?"

Chen Feixue smiled wryly, lifted the teapot, and added some wood to the stove: "I... I am just like you see. Is it a lot older?"

Chen Feixue is indeed a lot older. Lin Jincheng recalled that when he was working at Hilton, all the women who were older than Chen Feixue were much younger than her.

Lin Jincheng didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say.

Chen Feixue seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Are you going to come back to do business? Are you interested in my fish farm? I want to transfer out, and I can pay less money."
