Chapter 33 Worry-free life
My hut was nicely built, only slightly leaking, and it also collects rainwater, and I filled all the containers I could use with water, which were actually floating cans.
I was very comfortable lying on the dry bed, and I was very happy to see the rainwater collected in front of me, and I didn't have to worry about the fresh water in the future, which was enough for me for a month.
At this moment, I am very relieved to lie on the bed, looking at the sea in the distance and the fire in front of me, and the rain that has been pouring and falling, from time to time there are leaky drops falling on the fire and making a snorting sound, I stared blankly at the fire in front of me, and I couldn't help but think of the happy times with my family in the past.
The shaking flame of the fire in front of him slowly turned into a birthday cake, a four or five-year-old little girl wearing a birthday hat is trying to blow out candles, looking at the little girl's immature appearance is very cute, her parents are full of joy singing birthday songs, although the man's singing voice is not in tune at all, but their family of three is very happy.
This family of three is my wife and I are celebrating the fourth birthday of our daughter Linlin, this warm scene seems to have just happened yesterday, at this time I really hope that my wife and daughter can appear in front of me, even if it is a dream mirror and now they are just a memory in my mind.
My heart was sour, and the five flavors in my heart came out consistently.
At this time, the leak in the roof of the shed fell right on my cheeks, and I hurriedly wiped it with my hands, and I knew that I was crying.
Loneliness on this island is inevitable, but my heart is fulfilling, because I have my family and friends in my heart, I am always thinking about them, and I can feel that they miss me all the time.
The heavy rain came and went very quickly, and the clouds broke through in about an hour.
I know that the tropical ocean climate is so unpredictable, although I don't know what date it is, but when I got on the boat it was July, and after these days it was about two months, so it should be about October, the season when the tropical rainy season begins, and it seems that today is just the beginning of the rainy season.
However, the rainy season is just right for me, because there is no fresh water on this small island, and the best way for me to get fresh water is rainwater, so it seems that I will not have to worry about fresh water in the future.
The rainy season has begun,,,,
In the next few days I began to collect dry firewood from the island, and I carried it back to my accommodation as long as I could burn it, because I knew that once the rainy season started, it would last for a long time, and I knew what it was like to even have a rainy day, when I was a child, I had a week of rainy days at my grandmother's house in the countryside, and finally my grandmother didn't even have any firewood to start a fire.
In the 90s, there was no natural gas and all kinds of household appliances in the countryside, and there were very few rainy days in the north, so every household almost did not have a firewood house.
It's better to collect more dry firewood in advance, there is not a lot of wood on the island, and most of the dry firewood I collect is dried palm leaves, coconut leaves and some soft firewood.
Although these soft firewood have little firepower, it is better than nothing, and although it is not a lot of saving for two days, it can still be used for a while.
I covered the firewood with several layers of palm and coconut leaves so as not to get wet even on rainy days, looking at the large pile of firewood in front of me, I was finally relieved that there would be no firewood burning in the rainy season.
Then comes the tiresome long rainy season, which rains almost every day, and the sky is often moody, just under the sun, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds and heavy rain pour.
It was tiresome rain outside, and I didn't like it the most, but it was wet everywhere and I was in a bad mood, so I had to hide in my cabin.
I have redecorated and strengthened the cottage, now the cottage is very strong and reliable, and the roof is tighter and no longer leaking, the cottage is surrounded by palm leaves on three sides, and the front is also surrounded by some palm leaves, and there are doors and windows, so that the cottage feels like home.
During the cold and wet rainy season, the dry and warm cottage made me feel very comfortable.
It's also very pleasant to live by boiling water on the fire and relying on seafood, but unfortunately no one shares this life with me, in fact, who wants this lonely life, it seems that I can only enjoy it alone.
During this time, I was not as idle as I imagined, as long as I didn't work for a day, I would have no food, although the seafood here was very rich, but if I didn't work hard, I would still starve, which was the same as we were in a civilized society, and if I didn't work this small island, I would be eliminated naturally.
So I couldn't be idle, I cut down a bamboo tree and beat it into bamboo with a stone hammer, and then used these bamboo splits to make a bamboo basket for fishing.
I know some of this kind of work, my family did a few years of bamboo weaving business in middle school, my parents established a bamboo weaving factory and hired a lot of people, all of them are weaving daily necessities, when I was in the first year of junior high school, boys are interested in everything, every holiday I go to the factory to help, in fact, it is to satisfy their curiosity, and the workers have learned a little bit of bamboo weaving skills.
And I'm also quite smart, I can see it, the workers often praise me for being smart, and I was very proud of my heart at that time, but one thing I know in my heart is that I just learned some fur, I can weave a bamboo basket very well, but the best step is that it is difficult for me to complete the process.
As the saying goes, the basket is all in the mouth, and I have never finished a bamboo weaving, it is just halfway to play, in fact, I am not even an apprentice, the flattery of the worker master to me is just because I am a young owner.
After high school, I went to study in the city, and the bamboo weaving skills I learned were even more deserted, and now the social chemical materials have almost completely replaced the traditional crafts, so my parents' bamboo weaving factory did not persist for a few years and closed down.
And now I want to regain this traditional bamboo weaving craft, this time I understand the meaning of traditional crafts, that is, when the power of science and technology is far away from us, only traditional crafts can bring convenience to our lives.
