Fisherman

The next day, the two people from the cave built a boat together, but Hu San'er, who was supposed to go fishing, insisted on not going fishing.

"Liu Jun, you and Zheng Shu are going fishing today."

Hu San'er was holding the knife, looking like he was going to cut down trees today, dominating Zheng Shu's husband.

"Why?" Liu Jun looked puzzled.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go fishing earlier, I'll let you go today." Seeing Liu Jun whimpering, Hu San'er said anxiously: "What's wrong, you don't want to go!"

Zhao Qian stood aside and wanted to laugh, probably because he was afraid that Liu Jun would tell the men who built the ship. After receiving a knife, he suppressed his smile and said, "Liu Jun, go fishing today. Since Hu San'er doesn't want to go, forget it."

After he spoke, Liu Juncai agreed, and instead of pestering Hu San'er to ask why, he called his husband, and the two happily prepared to go sailing.Hu San'er's face became better now, he leaned towards Zhao Qian, and said softly: "Don't think that you are helping me to speak now, I don't care about you talking about things everywhere."

Zhao Qian shook her head in disappointment: "Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't tell the matter, and you don't believe me."

"Really?" Hu San'er glanced at him suspiciously, and seeing that he really didn't look like a liar, she felt more at ease. God knows that he didn't sleep well last night. He punched Zhao Qian with a fist, and there was a bruise on his face. With a smile: "You have a little conscience."

"No, I have always been very conscientious. I know that you will definitely not go fishing today, so I specially assigned Brother Cheng to build a boat, so you can work together later."

Seeing Hu San'er's dazed expression, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to turn around. Behind him stood Brother Cheng who was also stunned.

"Zhao Qian! I have a grudge against you, don't you?" Hu San'er blushed, looked away from Xu Cheng, and gritted his teeth, but the person who was standing in front of him just now had already run away, and he quickly chased after him : "You stop with me!"

Looking at the two people who were enjoying themselves, everyone looked puzzled. Brother Zhou shook his head. After knowing that Zhao Qian had space, he took some tools made by Master Li decently. On, but in order to deceive people still have to wear it.

Carrying the things on his back, he chased in the direction the two were running: "Brother Hu, hurry up and cut down trees to build a boat, everyone is waiting for you."

Hu San'er looked at Zhao Qian who ran away, put his hips on his hips, and said angrily to Brother Zhou: "You two know how to bully me!"

"Me?" Brother Zhou still had a clear idea of ​​the situation, so why did he bully him together, but Hu San'er had already walked back, and he didn't say anything else, walking towards Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian waited for him at the front, and when someone came over, she took the things on his shoulders and carried them on her own.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Good thing." He raised his eyebrows.

Brother Zhou was silent, guessing it was another joke between men, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Since the two caves worked together, there were more people and the efficiency was much higher than before. Within two days, all the boats were built, and every family had a fishing boat.

After there were enough boats, the men started to go back to their old jobs and sailed the boats to go fishing together. On the calm sea for a long time, there were boats and fishing songs floating from time to time. Everyone seemed to have found the long-lost interest in life.

After going out early and returning late for four or five days in a row, although there were few fish stocks, there was still some savings accumulated over time. The people in the village head’s cave gathered together to talk about Zhao Qian’s ability to lead everyone to build boats and fish, so that life will be prosperous. hoped.

Everyone gathered around the fire next to the stove, ate the mutton delivered from the next door, boiled a pot of soup, drank it to warm up in winter, and smelt nibbling. Without energy, he leaned against the wall of the cave, drinking the mutton soup in mouthfuls.

Zhi'er Mo Ruo's mother, seeing her precious son's appearance, Zhou Wang put aside the gossip she loved to listen to, and looked worried: "Duo Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Brother Zhou's eldest brother raised his eyelids listlessly: "Mother, this fishing job is really tiring. I don't know why I didn't get tired after years of fishing with little rain in the past."

Zhou Wang knew that his son didn't want to work anymore. In the past, when he was in the village, his daughter-in-law would wash the clothes, his sister would cook the meals, and his brother Zhou would hunt the fish. Only a few times will she move, and being able to work with everyone for so many days, it is beyond her expectation that she can't stand it today.

"Looking at the weather, it should be snowing. When the weather is too cold, everyone won't go fishing. Fish a lot, mother knows you have suffered, so just stick to it for two more days." If it wasn't a few days earlier, the village The boss reminded her not to be tricky, how could she be willing to suffer for her only son.

Zhou Duoyu wanted to take another sip of the mutton soup, but the soup was already a bit cold, he moved slowly, as if he was about to die, and the bowl hadn't been brought to his mouth, Zhou Wang looked at his third daughter who just got out of the pot After scooping up a bowl of soup, he quickly removed Zhou Duoyu's bowl, and said to his daughter, "Hurry up and bring the soup to your elder brother to warm up."

"Mom, I want to warm up too. Isn't there some more in the big brother's bowl?" The girl was reluctant to part with the hot broth in the bowl, and she was not afraid of being scalded, so she poured her head up and gurgled into it.

Zhou Wang scolded: "You damn girl, you spend all day in the cave doing nothing and eating so much, you don't even know how to feel sorry for your elder brother!"

"No one cares about me then."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was about to put her hands on her hips and curse, Zhou Qing hurriedly ran to the side of the village chief and escaped from Mrs. Zhou's sight. Zhou Duoyu said bluntly: "Mother, forget it, let her drink it. "

Mrs. Zhou Wang sighed, and handed the bowl in her hand to the little daughter Zhou Xiu who was giggling on the side: "Go, get your elder brother a bowl of soup."

Zhou Xiu pouted and didn't want to go, Zhou Wang twisted her arm: "Ah! It hurts! Mother, let go, I'll beat you."

With tears in her eyes and no smile at all, she stamped her feet and went to line up to make soup, muttering: "It was great that the second brother was here before, and he did all the work, so there is no need for the eldest brother to do it, why do you have to do it?" Let him get married!"

The next day, when everyone was going to go to sea, Zhou Duoyu still didn't listen to his old lady's advice and persisted, and escaped secretly. He was still sound asleep in the cave. The village chief counted the number of people and found that no one came, so he asked : "What did you go fishing this week?"

Zhou Wang hurriedly complained: "Duoyu felt a little uncomfortable after drinking the mutton soup last night. I ran several times last night. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to sea today. If I'm not feeling well, it will be troublesome at sea. "

Some men were dissatisfied: "We all drank mutton soup last night, why is he busy, and we are fine!"

"Hey, our family's body is not good enough, how can we compare with you."

The village chief put his hands behind his back and sighed: "Okay, let him rest for a day, brother Cheng, you can replace Zhou Duoyu to go to sea today."

Zhou Wang promised with a smile: "Okay, thank you village chief."

The village head waved his hand, and led everyone to the mountainside, where he met the villagers of Zhaoqian Cave, and then went out together.

Because Zhou Duoyu was delayed for a while, when we got to the beach, all the people from Zhaoqian Cave had arrived and were waiting for them to board the boat and set off.

The village head glanced at the crowd, and said to Brother Cheng beside him, "Who are you going out on the boat with?"

Brother Cheng didn't go out fishing a few days ago, and the wild vegetables that he followed the women to dig came out for the first time today.

"Brother Zhou and whoever teamed up with me before." Xu Cheng was a little puzzled why the village chief asked this is not a problem.

The village head was stern, how could it work, the man who was with Zhou Duoyu before was a man in his thirties, and they had been married for many years, it was not suitable, and it was a waste of opportunity!

He squinted a pair of shrewd old eyes, like an eagle catching prey, and would open his mouth to peck at a single chick at any time. No, Hu San'er, who was laughing with the men on the same boat, was caught up.

"Liu Jun, you go to the boat with only one person over there."

"Why?" Liu Jun's smile disappeared instantly.

The village chief said without blushing, "Brother Cheng is going out to sea here for the first time, so I don't worry if I find someone who can row steadily with me."

As soon as the words fell, before Liu Jun could speak, two voices sounded at the same time: "I'll go over there, village chief!"

The village chief frowned and looked at Brother Cheng and Hu Saner who spoke in unison, a little angry. Young people nowadays are too ignorant. No wonder they are still single at such an age. "You two are in one boat!"

After speaking, he pulled Liu Jun, who kept asking why, to the other side, leaving only Xu Cheng and Hu San'er looking at each other.

Sitting on the bow of the fishing boat, Zhao Qian put one hand on Brother Zhou's shoulder. He could tell that the village chief's population revitalization plan was targeting Hu San'er and Xu Cheng. It was really pitiful~ It was extremely embarrassing to watch He felt very sympathetic to the two people who were at a loss. After all, they had a relationship with Brother Hu San'er, so he decided to help the village chief!

In the direction of Hu San'er, he yelled: "Hu San'er, don't delay everyone's time to go to sea, okay?"

So everyone turned their attention to Hu San'er: "What are you two doing?"

Hu San'er glared at Zhao Qian again angrily, touched his nose, and said to Brother Cheng, "Come up quickly."

Brother Cheng lowered his head, not daring to meet everyone's gaze, and hurriedly jumped onto the boat.

On a boat far away, the village chief gave Zhao Qian an appreciative look.

Hu San'er was rocking the boat, and the two of them didn't speak a word during the whole trip. It was okay to build a boat together last time. The forest is big, so it's fine if they don't stay together. Now it's fine, they just got on the same boat.After everyone's boats scattered to go fishing, the two of them became more uncomfortable in the choppy sea.

"Cough." Hu San'er coughed dryly, looked around several times to make sure there was no one there, and then said, "Don't tell others what happened last time."

"No, no." Brother Cheng quickly waved his hand: "It was my fault before."

"It's none of your business. Anyway, that matter is over, and we won't mention it in the future."

Brother Orange nodded.

Unexpectedly, Xu Cheng was so easy to talk, Hu San'er swept away the discomfort in his heart, and said generously: "Then you can go to the cave to find me tonight!"

I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what I said.

"What!" Brother Cheng's legs trembled in shock, and the boat trembled, why did he go looking for you at night?I don't think that I saw him taking a bath last time because I did it on purpose, and I have some indescribable thoughts about him.

It's scary to think about!

Seeing his strange face, Hu San'er thought he was unwilling, and it seemed that he was not so easy to talk to. He scratched the back of his head: "It's fine if you don't want to, it's okay, we always catch a lot of crabs in our cave. I wanted to invite you over to eat crabs together."

After a long breath of relief, Xu Cheng was so startled that he forced a smile, who could resist it: "So it's like this, if I have nothing to do at night, I'll come."

"That works!" Hu San'er also smiled awkwardly.

After the ship was built in the past few days, the number of ships on the sea has increased, and they have not found a sufficiently hidden place. Neither Zhao Qian nor Brother Zhou can use the things in the space, so they have to use Master Li's fishing nets. The harvest is smaller and the work is more laborious.

"Brother Cheng went out to sea today, but my elder brother didn't seem to come out." Brother Zhou said something casually to Zhao Qian when he cast the fishing net.

Zhao Qian had an impression of Zhou Duoyu. After all, he had an oolong last time. He asked, "Why, is there anything strange?"

Brother Zhou seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a calm voice: "Brother is not quick in his hands and feet, he is spoiled by his parents, I am afraid that everyone will work hard, and he will be lazy."

"I mentioned it to the village chief last time, probably not."

Brother Zhou shook his head: "Brother Zhao really doesn't understand my elder brother's temperament."

Zhao Qian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then let's call it a day and go back and have a look."

Brother Zhou nodded.
