Chapter 2 The Difficult Fishery
Sunlight shone in through the window, spreading throughout the bed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info stretched out a hand from the thin quilt to cover his eyes, and Nan Nan whispered: "What time is it!" It's been a long time since I've slept so well! "There is a state of being a human being, which is called 'sleeping until you wake up naturally, counting money until your hands cramp'. I don't know when I will be able to have this kind of treatment, Zhao Kang longs for it. It is estimated that in this world, except for those second generations, it is estimated that even the richest man in the world does not have this kind of treatment. A point of hard work, a receipt, after all, there is no pie in the sky.
Seeing Zhao Kang out of the bedroom, his mother, who was watching TV in the living room, turned around and said to Zhao Kang: "You wash up first, and breakfast will be warmed for you!" "Say and go to the kitchen!
Zhao Kang sat on the sofa and said, "Mom, don't be busy!" I'm not hungry! My dad went to town again. ”
The mother brought the rice over and reprimanded, "Outside, don't you often skip breakfast?" How many times have I told you that skipping breakfast is not good for your health. You're just too lazy, you said you're twenty-four or five, and you won't be looking for a girlfriend. Someone to take care of it! ”
Under the criticism and education of his mother, Zhao Kang finally finished breakfast! Truth be told, I really don't eat breakfast much outside, whether it's at college or when I'm out at work. The former is mainly too lazy, and the latter is mainly not having time!
"Xiaokang, do you have something to do in the afternoon?" Mother asked at the lazy Zhao Kang!
"It's okay! Let's take a look at the old courtyard in a moment! Zhao Hai, that kid probably hasn't gotten up yet! Zhao Kang said.
The mother moved from the other sofa and said to Zhao Kang: "Now when I go out to sea to fish, I receive very few goods. Sometimes, you can't even take care of the cost of fuel and labor when you go out! What's more, going to sea is also very risky now! I discussed with your dad that I was going to sell the fishing boat. ”
"Indeed, it should have been sold a long time ago. It's very hard to go out to sea to fish now, and my dad is not young. You and my dad should have enjoyed the blessings a long time ago! Zhao Kang replied on the side.
The mother hated iron and said in a tone that could not be made of steel: "It's not because of you, your father will let you come back after graduation during the Chinese New Year." I sold the fishing boat and rented a shop in SY. You just don't listen. Probably thinking that continuing to criticize would hurt his son's self-esteem, he said softly: "This time your Uncle Guangchang almost had an accident, and it also made your father make up his mind to sell the boat." You're not a big boss, so if you're willing, I'll rent you a shop and make a living. If you still want to go out for a run! Save the money and get married when you live in peace. Buy a suite in the local area. Although Mom and Dad haven't saved much money in the past few years, it is no problem to pay you a down payment on a house. ”
Hearing his mother say this, Zhao Kangqiang couldn't hold back his tears and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm not in a hurry now!" I'm still young, and I can't make enough money in the future. You and Dad should save this money! If you have nothing to do, you can go out and travel and see the world. Didn't your son just get out of school! After a few more years of struggle, there will be a house and a car. ”
The mother pretended to be angry and said, "Silly boy, we don't have to leave our money to you, when can you let me hold my eldest grandson, I will be satisfied......"
Seeing that his mother was about to pull the problem on himself again, Zhao Kang immediately shifted his firepower and asked, "The boat is sold, how do you arrange Uncle Jiang and Brother Qi." After all, they've been working with my dad for years. Uncle You Jiang is estimated to have been on our ship for more than ten years! ”
This is not the mind of the, but both morally and emotionally, to be taken care of. Some people are still related to each other, and they can't just dismiss their employees as if an outside company has gone bankrupt. The worst ones are from a village, and they don't look up in the future. I have been working for the Zhao family with all my heart and soul, and I always have to give them a rough explanation. Like Uncle Youjiang, when Zhao Kang was very young, he had already followed his father to fish. has always been the helmsman of the fishing boat, and he has taken care of the Zhao family's fishing boat wholeheartedly, sometimes more attentive than his father.
Talking about this, the mother also showed sadness, but sighed helplessly and said: "Actually, everyone knows that disbandment is a matter of time, and the fishery resources have become less and less over the years, but the fishing boats have indeed become more and more." Every year, they have to travel farther, but the 200-hundred-ton fishing boat not only can't withstand the big wind and waves, but also has few supplies. Only six or seven people can stay at sea for more than ten days. It's hard to make big gains, and they should be able to understand that. A few days ago, you Uncle Jiang and they persuaded your father that it is time to take a break when you are old, and you have been running at sea for thirty or forty years, although you are reluctant, but you can't run for a lifetime. ”
Seeing that his son was listening carefully, he continued in a low voice: "This boat has only been bought for four or five years, and now the second-hand price of seven or eight hundred tons of fishing boats is six or seven hundred thousand. After the boat was sold, your father said to give you Uncle Youjiang 50,000 yuan. Others are also given in proportion to the length of service. At least 10,000 to 20,000 people look. It's also worthy of the years they have been with your dad. No matter how much money is a consolation, not to mention that they have not contributed less over the years. ”
"Yes! Uncle Youjiang is not easy for them, and they have been catching fish for half their lives. In front of my dad, he was either a brother for decades, or a nephew who watched him grow up. This is also an explanation and a buffer for them. It will not disrupt the rhythm of life. Zhao Kang was very supportive of his parents' decision.
Mother Cai Anhui said with a smile on her face: "If you can think like this, your father and I will be relieved." After all, it's hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid you won't be able to bend after staying outside for a few years. You are also older, you should know and know the things at home, and you must also participate in the things you should be involved in. Your dad has worked hard for half his life, not for you, for this family. So, this time I sold the boat just because you haven't worked yet, so I called you back! ”
Zhao Kang said in his heart: "Mom! I know that you and my dad have really worked hard over the years. Raised me until I graduated from college, and I never worried about food, clothing, and money. I'm already satisfied, and I can understand some of my dad's decisions. "That parent is not hoping that their son will become a dragon and their daughter will become a phoenix. can be more productive than yourself, you don't have to work hard to plant those two acres of land, and you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun at sea.
However, parents always want the young eagles that are already able to show their flight to be closer to home. Being able to do something for your child, even if it's a meal, or even seeing familiar faces often. However, as the child grows older, the ability to survive alone becomes stronger and stronger, and the distance from home becomes farther and farther. The time spent together is getting less and less, and the time between seeing each other is getting longer and longer.
In the afternoon, Zhao Kang went to the old courtyard to talk to his grandmother for a while, and then came to the dock in the town with his cousin Zhao Hai. Almost all the fishing boats over 100 tons below Anping Town are docked here. On the one hand, the villages below could not afford to build professional fishing docks, and on the other hand, in order to facilitate the management of these fishing boats.
Cousin Zhao Hai, the child of Zhao Kang's second uncle's family. is two years younger than Zhao Kang, but he has been mixed in society for two or three years. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to a junior college and did not go to school. The second uncle's family runs a restaurant in SY City, which is a little better economically than Zhao Kang's family.
Watching his son mix up in society is not presentable. Just send it to Zhao Kang's boat and exercise it! And stay away from his fox friends.
"Brother is done, let's go sing together! A new KTV opened in the town this year. The beauties inside are all beautiful. Zhao Hai took Zhao Kang and walked towards the dock and suggested.
Facing his younger brother's expectant gaze, Zhao Kang said helplessly: "Wait for the weekend!" Your little sixth brother and they are all idle, let's get together! "My heart said: Your brother, I'm dying of sorrow, and I haven't thought about what to do next. How can I have time to play with you, let alone two big men, what's so fun.
Regarding Zhao Kang's perfunctory, Zhao Hai just didn't see it. In the past six months, I have been suffocated, and my family has lost my source of funds. Unless it's a holiday, you can't go back to the city. It's hard to find a big sum, can you easily let it go? continued to gossip: "Brother, really, there are a lot of beauties in it. It is said that there are also some SY college students who come to work part-time. ”
Seeing that Zhao Kang didn't speak, he thought that he didn't believe what he said, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, don't believe it." One of my buddies was the lobby manager there, and he told me that in addition to some girls who sold alcohol and accompanied the wine, there were also special services inside. The second half of the sentence was almost on Zhao Kang's ear, and he looked around, afraid that others would know yes.
Zhao Kangxin said, what is this, today's college students can sell their kidneys for a mobile phone, and sell the first night. For the sake of money, there are some more that have no lower limit. It's just that it's better not to tell children about these problems! However, Zhao Hai's next sentence almost collapsed Zhao Kang.
Seeing that Zhao Kang ignored himself, Zhao Hai said in a low voice: "Brother, you don't fall in love in college, don't you, you do a lot of this in school!" ”
Regarding Zhao Hai's question, Zhao Kang was speechless and didn't fall in love, that's because your brother is too homely, and he either plays games or sleeps every day. How can you have the kung fu to fall in love, and you can't do it if you add low or high. Four chaotic years have passed. However, in order for his younger brother not to go astray, Zhao Kang said solemnly: "You also have to be not small, don't follow those people in society, it's not good for you." In addition, this phenomenon is only a minority, some are due to family reasons, and some are for vanity. I can tell you, don't provoke these people. Otherwise, the second uncle will definitely break your legs. ”
Zhao Hai has been naughty since he was a child, and he only looks like a person in front of his second uncle. The main thing was that he was scared of being beaten, so he drove him back to his hometown. He also had to be honest and obedient.
Seeing Zhao Kang mention his father, Zhao Hai immediately said pleadingly like a mouse seeing a cat: "Brother, brother!" Don't tell my dad! I'm going to go to an Internet café now when I'm resting, how can I have the money to sing! ”
Zhao Kang looked at Juanbao's younger brother and said speechlessly, "What do I tell the second uncle to do." Besides, since I was a child, when have I ever made a small report. And I don't know how many black pots I've carried for you! ”
"Xiaokang, Xiaohai, this way!" A dilapidated Changhe car pulled up on the side of the road. Father Zhao Qimin poked his head out of the window of the middle row seat and shouted at Zhao Kang.
"Uncle, where are you going? Didn't you mean, someone was watching the ship? Zhao Hai pulled Zhao Kang over the guardrail of the sidewalk and ran towards the motorway of the dock. I didn't forget to turn around and say, "Brother, hurry up and don't let parking here." Don't be fined if the administrator finds out. ”
