3 Out of the Night Sea
Tian Xiaoxia had a lot of things to say to Tian Jianjian, but she couldn't say it, she whispered "I'm sorry" and closed the door and went back to her room.
Sitting at the desk, and then looking at the things around her like the dim light, in fact, Tian Xiaoxia is a hard-working girl, in such a light, she can read books, and she has become a female college student who can be counted in a slap on this poor island.
At the university, she was able to surpass many students in the city, winning scholarships every year and successfully winning exchange places.
In foreign countries, she was able to study and work part-time at the same time to complete her graduate studies.
After working, she can go through the legal code and turn over cases all night, win one beautiful lawsuit after another, and become a partner in a well-known law firm.
Tian Xiaoxia looks back on her previous life, she has no regrets in her studies and career, and she can even be said to have done a beautiful job. But in terms of family, friendship, and love, she is really a complete failure.
Tian Xiaoxia clenched her fists, if she could stay for a long time, she would definitely not let herself repeat the mistakes of the past, her father should be filial, and her mother... Since we haven't heard from us for so many years, let's continue to pass by in our lives.
The more I think about it, the more awake I become, and the more I think about it, the less sleepy I feel.
In a haze, Tian Xiaoxia heard a movement in the West House, and then she looked at the clockwork alarm clock in the moonlight, it was only past three o'clock, probably getting up at night.
But the movement did not stop quickly, the door of the West House opened and closed, and then the door of the hall opened, and I felt that I had taken things several times, and then the door of the hall was closed, and then the door of the courtyard was opened and closed. At this point, the whole courtyard was quiet, only the sound of the alarm clock ticking in the ear.
In the middle of the night, where did Dad go?
Tian Xiaoxia thought about it, but through the cracks in the curtains, looking at the courtyard with only moonlight, she was a little afraid to think that she should come back soon, and she really fell asleep after thinking about it.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn, and the yard was still quiet, Tian Xiaoxia got up and shouted twice at the door of the West House, no one answered her, she pushed the door open, but no one.
Tian Xiaoxia walked around the yard, but there was still no one, so didn't Dad come back?
walked to the kitchen to prepare to cook, but when he saw the stove, Tian Xiaoxia was in trouble, what is the situation of this firewood stove, and Tian Xiaoxia has long since lost the skill of using firewood to start a fire.
She turned around twice, but she didn't even have a lighter, only a box of matches. What can I do then, go on, don't you just set it on fire!
It was half an hour before she finally lit the fire before she could stun herself.
It was already two hours before I put the meal in order according to the way I remembered the existing dishes in the big iron pot.
In July and August in the south, it is not an exaggeration to say that the heat is unbearable, let alone in the smoky kitchen. Tian Xiaoxia threw two towels and wiped his hands and face. When I returned to the room, I saw that it was past eleven o'clock, where did this Lao Tian go?
Tian Xiaoxia was so hot that he didn't have any appetite at all, so he stood by the stove and took a bowl and ate half a bowl of rice casually, and then put the dishes in the steamer again.
Yesterday afternoon, I was fished out of the sea and got wet, but I didn't feel anything, and I was sweating and couldn't take a shower.
The problems developed in the previous life also brought, and it was so sticky that it was uncomfortable, so I had to use a large basin to dry a few pots of water in the yard, and when the sun was about to go down, the water was also warm.
Tian Xiaoxia walked around the hall and said that it was a hall house, just because this room was relatively large in the middle. There is nothing in the living room, it has been more than nine years, not to mention the TV refrigerator, this hall does not even have a sofa.
There were just a few miscellaneous items piled up in the hall, fishing gear, and a few bags of food.
Turning back to his east room, the hard bed, the already thin mattress, the texture of the mattress has been a little crooked, and the white-washed sheet...... Desks, chests of drawers, and nothing else.
Tian Xiaoxia only had one thought at this time, this family was too poor, and it was no wonder that he was once moved by his generous mother three times or twice.
I have to make money, and the travel expenses to go to college and the tuition fee for the first year in my previous life were all given by my mother to express her sincerity.
Since I don't plan to have anything to do with that mother now, I can't get this money, and looking at the way my family looks, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make up the travel expenses.
Tian Xiaoxia was thinking about where to find money, the courtyard door was pushed open, and when she saw that Tian Jianshe was back, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Dad, what are you..." I was about to ask you where you were going? But seeing the half bucket of small fish and shrimp that Tian Jianshe was carrying in her hand and the fishing net on her shoulder, she still didn't understand anything.
"Dad, are you rushing to the sea?" Tian Xiaoxia gave him the bucket in his hand.
Tian Jianshe just smiled and nodded, walked straight to the shelf by the courtyard wall, and put the fishing net on it.
When Tian Xiaoxia was hurriedly preparing to rekindle the fire to heat a hot meal, Tian Jianshe walked in and touched the vegetable bowl in the steamer.
"It's not hot, it's still warm, and it's hot, so I'll eat it as soon as I eat it." ”
Tian Xiaoxia looked at Tian Jianjian, where is it still hot, but the weather is hot, and I don't feel cold. She was about to say that Tian Jianshe had already taken a big bite with a bowl of rice.
"Dad, why did you go to the sea at night, it turned out that you only went there at dawn. ”
"The tide rises early in the past two days, and there are few people at night, so it is easy to get good goods. ”
"It doesn't have to be so hard, we just need to eat and wear. It's too dangerous to go out to sea at night. ”
Tian Jianshe looked at her, "It's okay, there are more people at night, but not as many as in the morning." Don't be angry, I said that if you took your mother's money, I'd rather break your leg than let you go to college, but I'm angry too. I've been saving you all these years for the money you spent in college. ”
Tian Xiaoxia lowered his head and did not speak. It is not difficult for a fisherman with no long life to feed two people by fishing, and he can barely get over for a high school student, but it is really not easy to provide for college students!
Money, money, there is already a household contract system, but there is not much arable land to grow on this small island, and it can only ensure basic food crops, and there is no money in the field. If you want money, you can only find it in the sea.
It stands to reason that the place for this change should not be so poor, but that is just a matter of course.
This is a fishing village on a small island, the island is surrounded by water on all sides, and there is no land border with other places, and you have to take a boat to the county seat in the west, and there is about five miles of water in the middle.
There was no transportation on the island before, and it was only in the past two years that there were bicycles, motorcycles, let alone cars, but no one could afford to buy a car.
Tian Xiaoxia knew that twenty years later, this small island would become a famous tourist attraction, but twenty years later, he was in need of money now.
