Chapter Forty-Nine: Shame!
A home that has been vacant for a while, even if it is cleaned when you leave. But when he returned home, he still opened the doors and windows of each room to ventilate. Some places where ash accumulated, Zhuang Haiyang also habitually cleaned it.
Although Zhuang Haiyang has no habit of cleanliness, he also hopes that the place where he lives is clean and refreshing. When Zhuang Haiyang started to get busy, Concubine Li was also familiar with tidying up the room. Cloth sheets are naturally no problem for her.
When Concubine Li arranged her room and was ready to help, Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile: "Just clean it simply, I usually live alone, and the house is quite clean." I didn't live for a few days, and it was just a little dusty.
It's not too early, I'll take you around the island! By the way, I'll touch some shrimp and crabs and pick some greens. If you're bored, I'll find you something to do, as long as you don't feel like I'm exploiting you. ”
"It's okay! I'm really idle, I'm afraid I'm even more uncomfortable. ”
"Okay, I'll teach you how to sail when I have time." When you learn to sail, I won't have to fight alone when I go to sea. ”
Hearing what Zhuang Haiyang said, Concubine Li was a little worried: "Such a big fishing boat, I'm afraid I won't be able to drive it!"
"In fact, a large fishing boat is easier to drive than a small fishing boat. Tomorrow, I will take you to the nearby waters to familiarize yourself with the situation, and you will get familiar with it after a few more turns. I'll drive it for a long time, and sometimes I collect crab pots and row hooks, you just follow the direction. ”
"Okay then, I'll try!"
Growing up in a fishing village, Concubine Li also drove the kind of wooden fishing boats that could only be fished offshore. Similar to the twelve-meter fiberglass fishing boat that Zhuang Haiyang bought, she really hasn't driven it, but she doesn't feel unfamiliar.
found a vegetable basket, handed it directly to Concubine Li's Zhuang Haiyang, found a net pocket and carried it: "Go and pick up some vegetables first, and then I'll take you to the reef area in the back mountain to have a look." Before it gets dark, get some seafood and come back. ”
Originally, Zhuang Haiyang wanted to let Concubine Li stay at home, but in the end, after thinking about it, he still planned to take her with him. The girl has just arrived on the island, and if she really wants to be left alone for a long time, not to mention whether she will be afraid, at least she will feel lonely.
agreed to bring Concubine Li to the island, Zhuang Haiyang's original intention was also to divert her attention and let her come out of the grief of losing her loved ones as soon as possible. But this will take time, and it will take Zhuang Haiyang to put some effort into making her happy.
When she came to her own vegetable garden and looked at the lush vegetable field, Concubine Li was also surprised: "Brother Haiyang, I didn't expect you to really grow vegetables." Looking at these dishes, they all seem to be growing well! Have you eaten all these dishes?"
"It's okay! I can't finish the dishes, wait until the next time I go to the town to sell fish, and then send some to my sister's house." In addition, there are tourists who come every other day, and they can't eat seafood every day. It's still necessary to change the flavor once in a while. ”
Compared with the fishing village where Concubine Li grew up, there are not only vegetable fields but also rice fields. On the island where Zhuang Haiyang lives, there is not much land to cultivate. Therefore, most of the time you need to go to the town to buy vegetables.
For some of the other fishermen who live on the island, the situation is much the same. In many cases, some tourists who visit the island will always feel that the price of vegetables in the fishing village seems to be only a little cheaper than the price of seafood.
In fact, fishermen do spend more on vegetables than common seafood. For fishermen who eat from the sea, seafood is common and not fresh at all. On the contrary, it is green vegetables, and if you can't grow them, you can only go to the town to buy them.
Seafood is not very expensive to catch directly in the sea or picked up by the sea, but it costs money to collect green vegetables, and fishermen naturally feel that green vegetables are more expensive!
Considering that the other greens were still too delicate, Zhuang Haiyang finally asked Concubine Li to pick some of the cabbage seedlings that grew well. Zhuang Haiyang, on the other hand, is responsible for removing the weeds that grow in the vegetable field.
After pouring the water soaked in Dinghai Zhu, the growth of green vegetables is very gratifying, and the corresponding weeds have also benefited a lot. Every once in a while, Zhuang Haiyang will remove the weeds that rob the nutrients of vegetables and vegetables so that they can grow better.
For the task assigned by Zhuang Haiyang, Concubine Li also felt very happy. Looking at the clusters of emerald green vegetable seedlings, Concubine Li was also very careful, selecting those that were set high from the middle, and then neatly placing them in the vegetable basket.
Looking at the gradually piled up vegetable baskets, Concubine Li suddenly said, "Brother Haiyang, are these enough?"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was picking weeds, glanced at it and said, "Pick a little more!" Stir-fry a pot at night, and then save some for tomorrow's breakfast to cook noodles or stir-fry a pot." This kind of cabbage is very tender, don't look at the pile in the basket a lot, as soon as you fry it, it shrinks by more than half. ”
"Okay, then I got it!"
Until the newly grown weeds in the vegetable field were carefully cleaned up by Zhuang Haiyang. After looking at the time, Zhuang Haiyang said, "Princess, it's almost there." Will you go home first, or will you follow me to the back mountain?"
"I'll go with you to the back mountain! I also want to see how you touch lobsters and catch crabs!"
For Concubine Li, after losing her last loved one, she seems to be afraid of the time spent alone. This time to deal with the aftermath of the fisherwoman, if Zhuang Haiyang hadn't arrived in time and even helped her with it, she was afraid that she would have collapsed long ago.
During the period when dealing with the fisherwoman's funeral, Concubine Li had already become dependent on Zhuang Haiyang. For her at this moment, the meaning of Zhuang Haiyang is not as simple as dependence, and it is not much different from a life-saving straw.
The more she grows up, the more lonely she becomes, especially for Concubine Li, who knows that she is an orphan. Over the years, she has been dependent on the fisherwoman, so that she very much hopes to have a home and someone she can really rely on.
Hearing what Concubine Li said, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say much, and soon took Concubine Li to the reef area behind the village. Looking at the waves crashing against the reef from time to time, Concubine Li was a little worried: "Brother Haiyang, this wave seems to be a bit big!"
"It's okay! It's going to start the tide, it's normal. It shouldn't be long before you wait here. Now that we have vegetarian dishes, we still have two meat dishes left. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”
"Oh, be careful, then!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was about to take off his coat, saw Concubine Li standing beside him, and after thinking about it, he still found a corner that could avoid Concubine Li's gaze. After taking off his coat, he jumped into the reef with only a pair of four-legged pants.
Concubine Li, who has been peeking, saw Zhuang Haiyang, who was strong and had eight perfect abdominal muscles, and her face was also a little red. When the imagination began to come to mind, a pretty face was as red as a steamed crab.
Hurriedly shook his head and muttered to himself: "Concubine Li, what are you thinking? You are a girl, do you know how to be ashamed!"
After saying these words, Concubine Li's eyes still looked at Zhuang Haiyang in the sea. Every time she saw Zhuang Haiyang surface, she would breathe a sigh of relief. When Zhuang Haiyang inhales and sinks to the bottom of the sea, she will start to worry again.
Even if Concubine Li has never been in love, as a mentally and physically mature female college student, Concubine Li also knows what her current state means. The inferiority complex that can be cultivated since childhood makes her dare not show her true heart easily.
At least one thing Concubine Li knows very well that compared to Zhuang Haiyang at this moment, she is indeed an inconspicuous girl. To put it simply and bluntly, that is, Concubine Li feels that she is not worthy of Zhuang Haiyang at all.
It's just that for Zhuang Haiyang, who is diving in the sea at the moment, he has had a love experience, and he can feel that Concubine Li's attitude towards him seems to have exceeded the boundaries of friends. But Zhuang Haiyang always felt that gratitude does not represent love.
The most important thing is that Zhuang Haiyang is not ready to start a relationship again. And he knows better that Concubine Li, who is extremely sensitive in her heart, can no longer withstand the blow. He didn't want to be the last straw that crushed the other party!
