Sun Tiancheng is a seafarer on an ocean-going fishing trawler. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he is strong, serious and meticulous, when he first went to sea, he met the current kind captain, followed by a few years, and is now the third mate of the Shunchang ocean-going fishing boat.

The work on a distant-water fishing vessel is much more arduous than that of an offshore fishing vessel or an offshore cargo vessel. In the peak fishing season, every seafarer and fisherman has to face an extremely high workload.

Every time he goes to sea, he has to spend half a year to a year adrift at sea, so he has been working on the ship from the age of 20 to almost 30 years old, and he is still alone.

After recuperating at home for four months, I received a call from Captain Lin Detian to go to sea next month. Sun Tiancheng was numb in the boat, and when he saw the endless sea water, he wanted to spit on it. However, even if the disgust was extreme, he had to go to sea.

The crew is a young man, he has to take advantage of the fact that he is young now, save more savings, and in a few years, his physical fitness will decline, and if he can't drive the ship by himself, he will not be able to do it anymore.

In fact, he is lucky, Lin Detian is a good person, he has rich experience in going to sea, every catch is very good, and the seafarers and fishermen on the ship can have good dividends. Working on the Shunchang, he can be envied by many seafarers. Compared with those shady ships that refuse to buy even more fresh water, the Shunchang has always had a good reputation among the crew, so the crew is relatively stable.

Packing his bags, Sun Tiancheng was ready to go.

"Brother, are you leaving again?" the father, who was nearly sixty years old, carried a hoe and looked at his eldest son worriedly.

"Well, it's okay," Sun Tian became filial and didn't want his parents to worry, he said with a hearty smile, "Don't worry about it, what else can you do." ”

"Do you want to wait, big girl?" she said to come back tomorrow to see you. Mrs. Sun Tiancheng, who was preparing the meal, asked. Sun Tiancheng's hometown is a rural area in Donglu Province.

"The eldest girl is in class, how can I be free, I will do the car of the first mate Brother Liu, I won't wait for her, I'll go, I'll call her later. "The eldest girl is Sun Tiancheng's younger sister, twelve years younger than him, and is still in high school in the county.

With heavy luggage, Sun Tiancheng once again embarked on the journey to sea. From his hometown to the port, he had to go to the county seat to catch a ride. It just so happened that the first mate of the Shunchang was his fellow countryman, who lived in the county seat and had a pickup truck, so Sun Tiancheng happened to be able to take a ride.

Sun Tiancheng came to the position agreed with the first mate Brother Liu and loaded his luggage onto the open compartment of the pickup truck, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, big girl, what's the matter?"

"Brother, wait, don't go, I'll be there soon. I have something for you. Sun Tiancheng's sister Sun Tianyao's eager voice came out of her mobile phone.

"What's it?, if it doesn't matter, I won't take it, Brother Liu is waiting for me!" Sun Tiancheng frowned and said.

"Please, please, be sure to wait for me, I'll be there in a minute, just ten minutes. Sun Tianyao hurriedly shouted.

"Really," Sun Tiancheng hung up the phone and said awkwardly to Brother Liu, who was leaning against the car window, "The little girl doesn't know what the hell is going on, she must give me something, and she doesn't make it clear." ”

"It's okay," Brother Liu waved his thick arm and smiled kindly, "It's not bad for ten minutes." ”

Ten minutes later, a tall, deep-faced, loose-fitting girl in a loose school uniform gasped for breath and suddenly stopped her bicycle in front of Sun Tiancheng.

"Slow down, hurry. Sun Tiancheng shouted anxiously.

"Brother, this thing is for you, you take it on the boat. Sun Tianyao unloaded two large bags from the back seat of the bicycle and took out an identical bag from the basket in front of the bicycle.

Looking at this posture, Sun Tiancheng was a little dazed, he subconsciously took the three bags, and his hand sank suddenly.

"What is this?!" Sun Tiancheng couldn't help but shout.

"Hehe," Sun Tianyao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "I saw it at the same school, it was only sent today, and it was packed up before, you take the boat and manage it well." ”

"What's it, it's mysterious," Sun Tiancheng opened the bag and saw a plastic flower pot with a tender seedling planted in the middle.

Sun Tiancheng felt his brain beating, and said with difficulty: "Girl, don't be kidding, I'll go to the boat and bring a potted plant, where will I plant it?"

"It's not one, it's three. Sun Tianyao explained seriously, she re-tied the bag, and advised, "Remember, you must plant it in your room, and I will send you the planting method on WeChat later." Don't forget to take a picture of me. ”

Sun Tiancheng has nothing to do with this sister, who is twelve years younger than him. Scratching his head, he had to carry three heavy bags and put them on the pickup truck.

He waved at her, got into the car and left. He saw in the rearview mirror that his little sister had been holding the bicycle and watching him go away.

As the third mate of an ocean-going fishing vessel, Sun Tiancheng has a lot to do before sailing. In particular, the matter of safety and fire protection should not be sloppy at all.

After a busy day, he returned to the cabin and went into his room, Sun Tiancheng was lying on the bed, and suddenly saw three bags in the corner. Thinking of his little sister's words, he had no choice but to get up and take out the three potted plants resignedly.

His room is in good condition on the boat, compared to the fishermen who are still sharing the room, this seven-square-meter single room is a very good place to stay on an ocean-going fishing boat.

Sun Tiancheng doesn't have many things, except for a change of clothes, the most important thing is an e-paper book with thousands of novels. This is the best companion for a long, boring and lonely life at sea. The room was cleaned up. The three potted plants are placed in three corners.

Fresh water on board is precious, so naturally it is impossible to use it to water plants. However, the fresh water produced by the desalination plant can be used to water flowers.

Sun Tiancheng took the water cup for brushing his teeth and watered the three potted plants.

Some of the dying seedlings, after a while, began to become energetic.

Sun Tiancheng thought of the girl who was in a hurry, and shook his head helplessly, forget it, in this poorly lit cabin, these seedlings will not live long, so they will be planted.

The days of drifting on the sea have been like a day for ten years. When the fishing is abundant, it can be so busy that it is not suitable for two days and two nights. And when sailing, or when you don't catch a fish in the net, it's so quiet that people panic.

This ocean, which seems to be a day-to-day marine life, has made some different changes for Sun Tiancheng.

In the oppressive and cramped cabin, the three tenacious plants did not wither and die quickly, as he expected, but grew at a rapid pace, gradually occupying the cold walls. After going to sea for more than ten days, Sun Tiancheng buried a bag of organic earthworm manure fertilizer in the bag in accordance with his sister Sun Tianyao's instructions.

The three plants that were fertilized grew more and more amazingly, and he could identify what they were.

One is a tomato, one has the same leaves as a water spinach, and another is like a fungus.

Fresh vegetables growing in the cabin?!

This realization made Sun Tiancheng almost jump. He took care of the three vegetables more seriously.

You know, normally, the operation cycle of an ocean-going fishing vessel is about two years. The Shunchang is not that long, but it usually takes half a year to a year. The daily food is frozen fish, and the most commonly eaten vegetarian food is large pieces of kelp. The vegetables that can be eaten every day are also vegetables that are easy to preserve frozen with onions and potatoes.

In recent years, it has been better, with the prosperity of dehydrated vegetables in the mainland, the price of dehydrated frozen vegetables has also dropped a lot, and green leafy vegetables occasionally appear on the table.

Eating a plate of fresh, verdant leafy greens is a dream for seafarers floating on the sea.

Sun Tiancheng was lying on the bed, the large-leaved and fat fungus vines growing at the head of the bed, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he could see the verdant leaves swaying in the air.

According to the planting materials given to him by Xiaomei, the plants named weeping water spinach and large-leaved fungus were ready to be picked a week ago. However, probably because the light in the cabin was really bad, and they didn't grow very fast, he didn't bother to pick them up and eat them, and waited another week.

Now, he couldn't help but get his hands dirty.

Stir-fried, cold dressed, steamed with powder, all delicious.

Thinking of the fresh vegetables that he hadn't eaten for almost a month, Sun Tiancheng's hala was about to drip down.

Sun Tiancheng carefully picked the old leaves of the two climbing vines and green leafy vegetables, and he was reluctant to move those leaves that had not yet grown.

Unexpectedly, he picked two climbing vines and green leafy vegetables, and also harvested two plastic bags. Weigh it a little, about two catties.

Holding water spinach and fungus vegetables, Sun Tiancheng watered the three vegetables before leaving. Tomatoes have many flowers, some of which have already borne green fruits. The thought of eating fresh tomatoes soon, he couldn't control his saliva.

Although Xiao has been thinking about fresh vegetables for a long time, he is not a person who eats alone. These two bags of vegetables are definitely not enough for everyone on the boat to have one chopstick, but it does not prevent Sun Tiancheng from finding some close people to have a dinner.

Captain Lin Detian, first mate Brother Liu, chief engineer glasses Zhou, and chef Lao Gu. Today, it happened to be the second deputy Lao Zhao driving, and he gave him a small plate of green vegetables alone.

Lobster and big fish are not uncommon in the sea, but when the chef brought a plate of emerald green stir-fried water spinach and a plate of tender garlic fungus, everyone's eyes widened. There are few subtle people in the seafarers, and everyone didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks, and went straight to the two plates of green vegetables.

When these two plates of green vegetables were snatched up in an instant, Captain Lin Decai sighed unsatisfactorily: "This dish is really good, much better than frozen vegetables." ”

"Ah Cheng, you kid is amazing, how did you get such fresh green vegetables?" The first mate, Brother Liu, ate the fried fish slowly and methodically, judging the appearance of the two of them just now.

Sun Tiancheng scratched his ears and told a few big brothers about the experience of growing vegetables in his room for a month.

"Wow! that's fine," the chief engineer slapped the table on Monday and stood up excitedly, "Let's go, take me around." ”

The others also responded, and they all shouted to go to Sun Tiancheng's room to have a look.

He had no choice but to take a group of people and bring them to the room. The moment he opened the door, an exclamation rang out behind him.

"Wow," even the well-informed old captain Lin Detian exclaimed in disbelief, "how can you look so good!"

"It's amazing, it's hard to understand, how these plants can grow without enough sunlight. There are people on the other side of Xiangshan who are making ecological planting on boats. It's a pity that it's really expensive, a set costs more than 20,000 ......" The chief engineer's glasses Zhou didn't blink, scanned the whole room, and kept muttering.

After the first mate Brother Liu was shocked, he saw the tomatoes that had already borne fruit with sharp eyes, and hurriedly said: "Oh, there are still tomatoes, Ah Cheng don't forget to leave one for me." ”

The chef Lao Gu also ran over to see the excitement, he followed a few people into the room, sniffed, and bumped into the speechless Sun Tiancheng, "Ah Cheng, why do I think the air in your room is very good." It's not a man, it's like a little girl. ”

At this time, the Shunchang was sailing to the next fishing spot, and the seafarers and most of the people on board were very idle, and they found that there was a bustle here, and they all approached it.

"Ah, the third mate is so powerful, and he has quietly planted this big plant in the house. ”

"What, there's a tree hidden in the third room?"

"The third mate is too fierce, there is a tree hidden, I heard that it is going to be smuggled, I don't know what kind of precious species it is. ”

……

Lin Detian walked out of Sun Tiancheng's room, holding a tender green leaf of fungus in his hand, and looking at the planting guide that Sun Tiancheng had just sent him in the other hand.

"Ah Cheng, you use the ship's satellite phone to call your sister, and say that I asked her to help buy some seedlings of this plant. Sent to our next stop, Tung Wan Port, where I have a friend who runs a bar, sent it there. I'll write you the address right away. ”

"Huh?"

"Ahh ”

A few of the seafarers around laughed knowingly.
