Chapter 270: But I Can't Help It!
As the yacht slowly sailed into the bay where the fishing village is located, looking at the cages located on the sea, Zhuang Haiyang, who was responsible for driving the yacht, also felt that there was not much change here. When he used to work, he also used to spend a lot of time in this area.
On the other hand, the staff who take care of the cages and cultured pearl oysters are also full of curiosity when they see the yachts slowly passing by the breeding area. From the appearance of the yacht, they can somewhat judge that this yacht is still worth a lot of money.
Concubine Li, who was standing beside Zhuang Haiyang, looked at the people looking at the fishing raft in the cage, and said with a smile: "Brother Haiyang, do you feel very nostalgic when you see this place?
"Yes, I am not the same today as I was yesterday. Today's you are not the same as yesterday, are you?"
"Oh yes, if we pull the boat over now, I'm afraid they'll be surprised!"
"If you do that, others will think that we are driving a yacht to show off!"
"Isn't it?"
Regarding Concubine Li's smile, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Do you think it is, that is." Anyway, when I brought you home, there were many people in the village who said strange things. I want them to know that you're right, and that my salted fish can turn over. ”
"Yes, the salted fish has become a fisherman, what a big change!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was ridiculed by his girlfriend, didn't feel anything wrong. In fact, he and Concubine Li are the only ones who have changed? The world is changing, and people's hearts are changing. For better or for worse, perhaps only you know.
When the yacht sailed to the dock built in the fishing village, looking at Concubine Li who was slightly nervous, Zhuang Haiyang, who was driving the boat, also smiled and said: "How are you feeling at the moment?
"It's not like that, I just think it's a little complicated!"
Listening to his girlfriend's words, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Princess, no matter how complicated your mood is now, we just need to let the people in the village know that we are coming back to worship the fisherwoman, and we are here to tell her that the old man is doing well."
Whether others are blessed or jealous, we all accept it with a smile. Sometimes, the more you care about what other people say, the more you add to your troubles. If there's something that makes you feel embarrassed, you have to remember that I'm still with you, you know?"
"Hmm!"
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. But Concubine Li also knows that there are always some people who disappear when you are down, and reappear when you are beautiful. The saying that 'there are distant relatives in the deep mountains of Toyama' may mean just that.
As a former fisherman, there must really be some village neighbors who don't know how to measure, asking Concubine Li for help under various names, and even asking for property. I believe that Concubine Li will also feel very difficult to deal with. But Zhuang Haiyang, the situation is different!
Zhuang Haiyang, who used to work in a fishing village, knows very well that there is no shortage of people who feel good about themselves in this world. He did not object. But in the name of staining the autumn wind, how can Zhuang Haiyang be so easy to bully?
When the yacht docked safely at the wharf of the fishing village, several villagers who were on the fishing boat at the wharf were also curious: "Whose yacht is this? I haven't heard of it? Could it be that it is a tourist who has come to play?"
"Probably not! Wait, look at that woman, does it look familiar?"
"Ah, I know him! Isn't that the man Xiaozhuang who used to work in the pearl farm? Ah, the woman is the granddaughter of the fisherwoman, the girl whose name is the concubine. I really didn't expect it to be them. I thought she wouldn't come back!"
"How can a part-time worker drive a yacht? Looking at the way they hold hands, I'm afraid the two are together, right?"
Walking on the dock at the head of the village with some things, Zhuang Haiyang, who listened to the discussion of these villagers, did not shy away from anything, and directly took Concubine Li and stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time!
"Ahh ”
"You're always holding it! This is the concubine, you should all know each other, right?"
"How can you not know the girl who went out of our village? Why did you come back from the yacht? Concubine, aren't you studying in the provincial capital? Why did you come back at this time? Is it a school holiday?"
"Well, the school has been closed, and I won't come back for the New Year this year, thinking about coming back to see my mother-in-law a year ago. You're still fishing!"
"I'm so old, what else can I do if I don't fish? It's really a female college eighteen, and you girl is getting more and more foreign! Look at this, have you talked to Xiaozhuang?"
Without waiting for Concubine Li to speak, Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile: "Uncle Dong, I am married to Concubine Zi, and I will get married when she graduates." When we get married, I will take her back to the village to set up a drink, and you can always remember to drink a few more glasses when the time comes!"
"Okay! I like wine, I'm sure I'll drink it!"
He handed some cigarettes to the villagers who came over one after another, and chatted with the villagers as Zhuang Haiyang followed. These villagers know that Zhuang Haiyang, who worked in the village back then, has now become the boss and has his own fishing boat and company!
After chatting with these villagers who seemed to be enthusiastic for a while, Zhuang Haiyang said: "Uncle Dong, then you are busy first, and I will go to see the fisherwoman with the concubine first." I don't usually have time to come back, and the fisherwoman still expects you to take care of it more!"
"Yes, yes! Go ahead!"
The so-called care, in fact, is not care at all. In fact, the fisherwoman is also buried in the grave of the fishing village. Even during the Qingming Festival, kind-hearted villagers will also put incense sticks on them and clean up the weeds on the graves.
If there is no help from the villagers, the fisherwoman who is alone will not even have anyone to go to the grave. Fortunately, the fisherwoman has just passed away not too long, and Concubine Li was able to come back to worship the sweep a few years ago, and I believe that other villagers will not say that the fisherwoman raised a white-eyed wolf.
Even when he accompanied Concubine Li back to the village this time, Zhuang Haiyang wanted to prove to all the villagers that he had the ability to take care of Concubine Li. In addition, Concubine Li, who they looked down on back then, has really become a phoenix, and they can't afford to climb it anymore!
Different from the isolated island fishing village where Zhuang Haiyang is located, the fishing village where Concubine Li grew up naturally has a lot of people in the village because it is connected to the land. For the return of Concubine Li, many villagers felt very fresh and surprised.
Carrying the offerings they had bought when they came back, the two of them didn't chat with the villagers for long, and soon came to the cemetery of the fishing village. Looking at the grave built that day, now the grave bag is covered with grass, and the two of them have begun to clean up.
After lighting the incense candles and offerings, Concubine Li, who knelt in front of the tombstone, burst into tears again: "Grandma, the little concubine has come back to see you!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was kneeling on one leg, also comforted when he saw this scene: "Princess, don't cry! If I see you crying, the fisherwoman will cry too." You can come back, I think the fisherwoman should be laughing, you should be laughing, you know?"
"But I can't help it! Brother Haiyang, why can't my mother-in-law wait any longer? I still want to let her live a good life!"
As a child, he was abandoned by his biological parents and finally adopted by a fisherwoman who became a lonely old man. The grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other, how deep is this feeling. After the death of his parents, Zhuang Haiyang, who was dependent on his sister, could also imagine it!
On the other hand, when the village chief rushed to hear the news, he saw the scene of hugging his head and crying in front of the tombstone, and he also sighed with emotion: "Alas! This fisherwoman has suffered all her life, but she can enjoy happiness but leaves." What a blessing!"
Regarding the unexpected death of the fisherwoman, many people in the village felt that it was better for the old man to go, at least not to be as miserable as he was. At such an age, I have to raise my granddaughter who is going to college, and the hardships can be imagined.
Just when others felt that there would be no fisherwoman Concubine Li, what would happen to them, Zhuang Haiyang's unexpected appearance seemed to make this matter turn around again. Whatever gossip was said in the village at the time, it was time to keep your mouth shut.
The yacht docked at the pier alone, many villagers know that even if they do it all their lives, they may not be able to make money to buy such a boat. found a rich man, how could Concubine Li endure hardships again?
What's more, the villagers who had seen Concubine Li before could see that Concubine Li was doing well now. Not to mention that the figure has become better, the radiant appearance can be seen at a glance to be the temperament and elegance that have been pampered.
Compared with Concubine Li, who was immersed in grief, she didn't know that the village chief had come, but Zhuang Haiyang was keenly aware that someone was approaching. With the improvement of cultivation, Zhuang Haiyang's hearing and sensitivity are also much beyond ordinary people.
patting his girlfriend on the back, Zhuang Haiyang also said softly: "The village chief is here! You first chat with the fisherwoman about some family life, and I will discuss some things with the village chief." No more crying, though. Otherwise, it wouldn't be pretty!"
"I see!
"Silly girl, she talks stupid things again!"
He glanced at his girlfriend a few times and calmed his emotions before Zhuang Haiyang left in front of the tombstone. Adjust your mood and walk towards the village chief who came over. They shook hands and handed over the cigarettes they had prepared.
Hearing Zhuang Haiyang ask if the fisherwoman's homestead was still there, the village chief also said curiously: "What? When you come back this time, do you plan to rebuild a new house? After building a house, I guess you won't come back to live, right?"
"That's not true! In my hometown, I already own enough houses, and there are not many opportunities for me to come back with my concubine in the future. In addition, there are no relatives, isn't it a waste to build a new house empty? I want to build an activity room for the elderly in the village. ”
"Ahh
You also know that the concubine has filial piety, but the fisherwoman doesn't have this blessing, so wait until I and the concubine do our filial piety for her. I thought that the fisherwoman actually liked to be lively, and the princess also wanted to do something for the village.
If the formalities are not troublesome, I can fund the construction of an elderly activity center directly in the fisherwoman's old house. There is such a place, where the old people in the village play cards and drink tea, and they also save looking for places everywhere. What do you think?"
"This is a good deed, and the village will definitely support it. In addition, in the town, I went to say hello, it shouldn't be a problem!"
"In addition to this, when I come back this time, I also plan to donate a sum of money as a scholarship to the primary and secondary schools where the concubine studied in the name of the fisherwoman. It is best to target poor students with excellent character and learning. ”
It is also to build an activity center for the elderly, and it is to donate money to support education, Zhuang Haiyang's words undoubtedly shocked the village chief and made him very happy. In these years, someone gave free money to the village to do good deeds, how could he, the village chief, refuse?
