125. Have a date with the sea (three watches)
125.
Chen Dahu came back from the town listlessly with an ox cart, and along the way he also recalled what his daughter told him, it seems that he has been busy these days.
Thinking of the thing that his daughter said, he also wondered in his heart, but Chen Dahu had a characteristic that he didn't want to understand it, so he rushed back, picked up a pickaxe and a shovel and went outside the courtyard wall.
"Dad, what are you doing, come into the house to eat, what time is it, aren't you hungry, I'll go to my mother's house in a while to see and hand over Bao'er's bundle of repairs and bring the child back."
Chen Dahu wiped the sweat on his head with an excited face, "Damn, you see, this is explained by our daughter, and I don't know what this child wants to do, but I think there must be a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes here, and the cellar at home is not too big, just right, I will do it all this time." ”
Bai Xiumei didn't understand what her man was digging, "What are you, cellar?" You don't have to dig like that, why do you dig into it? ”
Chen Dahu smiled, "The girl won't let me say, you'll know when you're done, let's eat, are Pan'er and Ye Li back?" ”
Bai Xiumei shook her head, "I went up the mountain with the dog, and I didn't come back at this time, but I brought them some food in the morning, and I can't wait for these children to grill fish in the mountains to eat, let's eat first......"
Yue'er didn't feel good along the way, although it was a carriage, but she was uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, if it weren't for going out to do business, she felt that she came out purely to find guilt.
"Uncle, when will we be able to arrive, why is it so far away, how many days have it been, and we haven't arrived yet?"
Bai Baoning laughed, looking at his niece's listless appearance, he felt a little happy, there was finally something that could make his niece scared.
"Soon, since you want to choose a place, my uncle can't find a good one, and when you get to the place, make sure you like it......"
It's really like what Bai Baoning said. Seeing the blue sea, the things in Yue'er's memory suddenly became clear and real.
Those things that I have not experienced seem to have become my own past at this moment.
Seeing his niece flying into the sea, Bai Baoning shook his head amusefully in the back. He was like this when he first saw the sea, but after staying here for a long time, he got used to it, and he always felt that it was not as good as his own home.
Yue'er sat on the reef and began to look at this place seriously, the beach area was surrounded by many square fields, and she understood that this was their salt pan. To the east are thatched villages, not too big, but not too small.
There are small fishing boats parked on the beach, women on the beach leaning on the fishing boats busy drying and mending nets, and children playing on the beach, which makes people feel a warm sense of belonging.
"Well, this place didn't disappoint you, these fishermen are very good, and when I went out fishing with your father before, we encountered wind and waves, and we docked here later. Fortunately, everyone helped us, otherwise we would not have eaten.
They usually go fishing, and when we are busy, they come to help, and women and old people can also come over to earn a little money if they are fine.
Look over there, we bought the land, it's a little bit far from the sea, and I've hired someone to help with the farming, so it looks like the harvest should be good this year......"
Yue'er nodded while listening to Bai Baoning's introduction, and waited to understand the situation here. Yue'er first put forward her own ideas.
"Uncle, plant wheat immediately after the harvest in the fields here?"
Bai Baoning was confused, although their family had no land, they had rented land and planted it for so many years. He had never heard that he could plow again after the autumn harvest, and that the crops would not freeze to death.
"Yue'er, are you mistaken, no one has ever planted like this here?"
"If no one does it, let's try it, and we won't delay the next year's cultivation anyway. Uncle, let's try it, the first person to eat crabs is better than the one who follows the trend, what do you say? ”
Bai Baoning hesitated, there is such a situation in the south, but the climate on their side is not right at all, in case it is not successful, not to mention that there is a lot of silver.
A confident smile appeared on Yue'er's face, "Uncle, listen to me, if it doesn't work, I will definitely not plant it next year, but I believe in my own feelings." ”
"Alas, since you said that you planted it, then Uncle took a gamble this time, we all planted, if it really happens, maybe we can make a lot of money."
Yue'er pointed to the boat under construction in the northwest corner and asked, "That's what we did?" ”
Bai Baoning nodded, "It's not what's wrong, the ship we built is a bit big, and the people who build ships can only come over, and there are some things that I can't tell them clearly, so I let you come, but it's better for you to plant two crops directly, and my uncle is waiting for a bumper harvest next year." ”
Yue'er raised her head, "That's, you just wait, that's right, uncle, this thing is for you, don't lose it, this should be a nautical chart, if I guessed correctly, it should be left by the ancestors, I also got it by accident, when our ship is built, you will try it first, and it is not limited to the distance, this nautical chart will be kept for later use, remember that this can't be known to other people, otherwise I estimate that there will be many people coveting it." ”
Even if Yue'er doesn't say this, Bai Baoning also knows how important the piece of paper in his hand is, it's not that he hasn't worked at sea, just because he has done it, so he knows that the boss of the ship who led them out to sea earns much higher than them, just because people know about the navigation route, what he is holding in his hand is not an ordinary piece of paper, that is the source of wealth.
Seeing that her uncle had solemnly hidden, Yue'er nodded with satisfaction, "I'll rest today, I'm too tired on the way, I'll go over tomorrow to take a look." ”
Bai Baoning's house is in the village, although the exterior is covered with thatch, in fact, the inside is made of stones, he knows how strong the sea breeze is living by the sea, if there is a strong wind, the thatch on the roof will definitely be blown away, and even the house will be blown down, for the safety of the future, he will use stones and green bricks to cover, and the thatch outside is also a cover-up, so that the house will not be too prominent in this village, which is also what Yue'er told him to do.
The people in the village saw that Bai Baoning had led a girl back, and she thought it was his daughter, but she knew that it was her niece, and they greeted them very kindly.
"It seems that you are very popular here, uncle, I think it is better to let grandma move over in the future, so that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the family can still be together." (To be continued.) )
