Chapter 48 Fish Catch Competition

I opened my eyes and faintly heard the sound of arguing from outside.

Turning around, Fang Rui was no longer on the bed.I got out of bed and put on my slippers and went to the door of the room to listen for a while, only to hear Father Fang's scolding.

"Nonsense!... Anyway, learning is the most important thing... If I hadn't read books, I wouldn't be what I am today..."

"You don't look so good today."

"You still talk back!..."

"Forget it, forget it, don't say a few words, his childish temper..."

"You're still young in your twenties! You're used to him now!..."

"Look at what you said, you weren't used to him when he was young!"

"Yes, blame myself. Raising such a white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to be grateful will know how to fight against me every day! ... Where are you going! Fang Rui!"

Suddenly I heard a rush of footsteps, I quickly stepped aside, and saw Fang Rui walk into the room angrily, just in time to meet the eyes of me standing in front of the desk, both of us were taken aback.

Suddenly there was an expression of embarrassment mixed with bewilderment on his face, which made me feel a little unbearable, so I picked up my backpack and said to myself: "Going for a walk? The weather is fine today, I want to go... Cough, go out for a stroll, then what, see if you want to come together..." I lowered my head and slowly pretended to pack my things, and occasionally raised my eyes to peek at the expression on his face.

Fang Rui sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, with a very ugly expression on his face.In fact, I have nothing to clean up. I can leave after changing clothes and taking my mobile phone. He may have noticed that I was wasting time, so he said you go first, send me a text message when you are there, and I will go to find you.

I said hello and looked back at him before leaving.Fang Rui sat on the edge of the bed with his back to me, wondering what he was thinking.The sun was shining on him, golden.I was a little worried, but I still watched him slowly close the door while looking at his back outside the window.

I wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, sat by the sea to look at the sea, took pictures, bought some snacks, and went shopping in small shops, and I was still at ease.Just remembering that my dad will come over in two days, I feel a little worried.I feel that Fang Rui's family has a lot of troubles, and my dad has to come over to trouble them.

Hey.

I looked at the sparkling sea in front of me, and sadly took a sip of the Coca-flavored popsicle in my hand.

"It's fine if he doesn't come, and it's best not to come on New Year's Eve." The third grandfather shook the fan a few times angrily, turned and left.

The village party secretary apologized with a smile on his face: "It's not that the old house doesn't want to come, it's because something has delayed it..."

"Okay, don't tell me..."

……

"La boy! Why are you running? I told you not to run around. Slow down."

"Brother Apo, wait for me!..."

……

As soon as I got into the crowd, I was instantly submerged in the evening twilight by the excitement and noise mixed with disputes, yelling and greetings, as well as children's screams and playfulness.

"Little Gu, follow behind Grandma." Grandma who was walking in front turned around and pulled me back, I responded and quickly followed.Yesterday I was out shopping all day, Fang Rui finally went to find me, and finally went back together.I realized that he was a little embarrassed when he came to pick me up because he was afraid that I would not know the way. I said that there is no need to make a special trip. I can use the map on my mobile phone. Fang Rui had a noncommittal expression on his face.

This kid, since he came to his own territory, has become more high-key, and he always seems to dislike me, which makes me very unhappy.

Forget it, I can't stay here for a few days anyway.Fang Rui followed me unhurriedly, and suddenly waved to the front.I turned my head and saw that girl named Xiao Ai from a distance, with a smile on her face, struggling to squeeze through the crowd towards us, and suddenly felt a little sad.

I stood by the seaside and helped Uncle Jian get the fishing line, and squinted at Fang Rui from time to time, only to see him chatting happily with Xiaoai and the others on the beach that was full of the afterglow of the setting sun.

I looked down at the baggy underpants I was wearing, the flip flops under my feet, the skin on my arms that had been tanned in the past few days, and the fishing line I was holding in my hands. The tin bucket on the side suddenly realized that I was no longer that delicate pig boy, this look seemed to have completely turned into a country boy.

Hey.

Forget it, let's give them more time for young people, after all, they are childhood sweethearts... I turned my head to look at Fang Rui, and I just met his eyes. After saying something, I quickly turned my head away, pretending not to see it.Damn, why is he still so white, so angry.

Why are my eye sockets a little moist, it must have been stabbed by the sunlight.Don't cry!Really worthless, such a shit, what is there to cry about, what is sour in your heart, don't be sour!

Fang Rui is a big pig's hoof, shameless, bah!

I am immersed in my own thoughts, and the fish catching competition has begun in full swing.

"What’s wrong with you."

Holy crap, when did this kid come here?

"It's nothing." I wiped my face, turned and walked away, not wanting to see him now.

"I kept calling you over just now, didn't you see it?"

"Oh, um."

"Hey! Come right now! Wait a minute!" Fang Rui yelled behind me, and started to follow me again, "Why don't you go. They are all there."

"Forget it, I'll help Uncle Jian." Without turning my head, I avoided him and walked towards Uncle Jian.

"……That……"

"You go, they are waiting for you." I looked back at him.He stood against the light, and I couldn't see the expression on his face.Fang Rui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but I turned around and left without waiting for him to say it.Thinking of those bad things before, I felt a little wronged and angry.It's really not very good for the previous experience. Besides, what am I doing as an outsider, to be angry? I'm not my friend anyway, so I like it.

The slender fishing line flew towards the brilliant clouds in the distance.

Uncle Jian held the fishing rod in his hand, looked into the distance and sat on the ground without saying a word.I also sat down, just looking at the sea quietly, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the beach.

Before, many people asked me if I would like to participate, saying that there were extra fishing rods and fishing nets. I looked at Fang Rui's side, and they all looked serious, playing with the tools for catching fish.I shook my head and said no, just take a look and learn.Grandma originally advised me to focus on participation, experience and play, but I still insisted with a smile that I’m not very good at it, just watch and study from the sidelines, and she didn’t say anything else.Looking at the ceremonial actions of the old and young in the village, it is said that many of them symbolize the hope for a smooth and bumper harvest in the new year.I felt that since I'm not from this village, it's better not to join in the fun.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ah?" I glanced at Uncle Jian, his expression was flat, as if he wasn't talking just now.

I was a little embarrassed, and smiled: "It's nothing, just take a look..."

Uncle Jian chewed the betel nut and glanced in the direction of Apo's mother. A man was busy around her, sometimes helping her, sometimes talking to her.Uncle Jian said: "That's Shuizi. The family is in the water production business. When Axiang was young, he was a betel nut Xishi in our village. He was very popular. Shuizi was a foreigner. When he came to our island, Axiang already had A Po. Then her man went out and never came back. At that time, there were all kinds of people in the village. No matter how many years A Xiang waited for him, Shui Zai guarded her. Almost everyone in the village knew Yes, Ah Xiang didn't accept Shui Zai at the beginning because she still had expectations for her man. Later, when the news came that he died unexpectedly, she never accepted Shui Zai's overtures. Others asked her insinuatingly, what did she say? Just saying it's inappropriate. I understand her, but it's not that I'm sincere about her man, and I won't marry unless he is the only one. It's because I'm old and have a child, and I've been gossiping for so many years..."

"Since it's been said for so long, don't worry about it now." I interjected a little puzzled.In my opinion, it is only natural for two people to be together if they have feelings, not to mention that they have been together for so many years and have not hindered anyone. Isn't it better to live together and support each other.

Uncle Jian shook his head, with weather-beaten smile lines in the corners of his eyes.He always chewed the betel nut with a grin and always looked like he was smiling kindly.

"Actually, a lot of things are like that, like Ah Rui's father's matter, third uncle's matter, and Ah Hao's matter, that is, Meimei's parents." Uncle Jian glanced at me with a smile, "We are not them. , have not experienced the things they experienced, and have not faced the reality and difficulties they faced, so we do not know why they made such choices and chose to live in such a way. "

Uncle Jian cast another fishing line.I looked at the direction where the fishing line fell, only to realize that it was already dark.

The time was almost up. Uncle Jian looked at the fish in the bucket that had been caught or caught by various methods or nets, bowed towards the sea, caught some of the fish inside, and put them back into the sea.Only then did I know that during the Chinese New Year, the village will make new year’s goods, and holding fish catching competitions is a must-have event before the Chinese New Year, but the villagers will return most of them to the sea, especially the small fish. I watched Uncle Jian carrying a Throwing a big fish back into the sea, I asked if I could let it go. Uncle Jian didn’t even raise his head and said that it’s enough to eat. As a human being, don’t be greedy. If you are greedy, Mazu will bring disaster.

"Let's go." Uncle Jian patted me on the shoulder, chewed a betel nut and said with a bold smile, "You will be blessed with seafood dinner tonight."

The author has something to say: I'm so fat~ I went out to play during the holiday, and I wanted to finish it sooner, but I didn't expect to be unable to connect to the Internet at all. It won't really be written as the president said. Unforgettable and then continue. Unforgettable, hey, despair .
