Chapter 221: Grassroots Fisherman
Chapter 221 Grassroots Fisherman
Zhan Jiaqing is very taboo for others to know that she is a fisherman's girl.
After graduating from junior high school, she was admitted to Cuicheng High School, a key middle school in Cuicheng. But the math teacher always mentioned her when she was commenting on her homework
"Zhan Jiaqing. How many times have I told you. Why do you still have shaky lines in your geometry homework......"
Zhan Jiaqing's eyes are always red. Tears rolled in his eyes. Not a word.
The teacher kept his mouth shut.
Most of the students in this class are from poor families. Children who are doing very well in their studies.
Zhan Jiaqing's results are very good. Especially the composition. He has won many awards in the National Essay Contest for Middle School Students. Experts and scholars commented that her works "have the aura of sparkling water and shadow", and her math scores are also good. It's just that in geometric drawing, for some reason, there are often "line shaking" flaws.
The homeroom teacher, who was a math teacher, decided to make a home visit to her. It is important to understand the causes of "shaky lines". Also to understand why she sometimes goes to the Internet café to do her homework.
Zhan Jiaqing was very reluctant to tell the head teacher. Her home is "opposite Fishing Port Pier No. 88".
The fishing port pier is located away from the school. The head teacher took an hour's bus ride to get here. I found "Fishing Port Wharf No. 88" and found that "Fishing Port Wharf No. 88" was just a large piece of land enclosed by a low brick wall. Damp walls and dark green moss. Next to the rusty iron fence gate stands a huge advertising painting depicting a beautiful home. It is impressively marked with the address of the Fishing Port Wharf No. 88 Mirage Garden.
On the opposite side of it is a bay of water and more than 100 fishing boats of various sizes, old and new.
It was only then that the head teacher understood the meaning of "opposite No. 88 Fishing Port Wharf", and Zhan Jiaqing lived on the boat.
But among these hundreds of fishing boats. Which one is Zhan Jiaqing's "home boat".
The homeroom teacher is at a loss. I heard someone shouting at sea: "Teacher"
She followed the prestige. Zhan Jiaqing was found standing on the bow of a low dilapidated house boat beckoning to her.
The head teacher is supported by Zhan Jiaqing. Trembling slightly, he walked through the long "springboard" and came to the boat of Zhan Jiaqing's house.
She saw that the small cabin was only more than ten square meters of space. A curtain was drawn. The "living quarters" are divided into two parts. Parents sleep in the front. I gave up the quiet and tidy rear cabin to my daughter.
Zhan Jiaqing is doing a geometric drawing homework. The homeroom teacher bends over to look at the homework she does. A fishing boat passes by. The family boat shook violently in the waves of the fishing boat. The head teacher did not stand firm. A butt sat on the wooden plank of the cabin......
Zhan Jiaqing's family's biggest wish is to move to the shore one day earlier.
Zhan Jiaqing's father was just fifty years old. The back is hunched. The people of the fishing port called him "Zhan Humpback".
When he was young, "Zhan Humpback" was recognized as a beautiful posterity by the people on the water in the fishing port. One meter seven or eight tall. Tall figure. Married to the most beautiful girl in this area, Alan. They were married on this boat.
Zhan's hunched back has only gradually bent down in recent years.
Their "home boat" is not large. Can't go to sea. Casting a net offshore during the day. Return to the harbor in the evening. Food and accommodation are on board. There are fewer and fewer fish in the offshore waters. More than 2,000 "home boats" in the harbor have been moved to the shore one after another. More than 100 of them are still crammed into the harbor.
Zhan hunchbacks rarely go ashore. For fear of meeting a friend in the harbor in the past, he asked, "What. Still living on board. Let's move it up." He can't lift his head. Hit the seafood of Hihan. It's all Alain who took it to the restaurant to sell.
The owners of Nanzhu Restaurant, Shui Sheng and Zhang Humpback, are good brothers. It turned out to be a water man in the harbor. Alain brought the seafood to him. You can always sell for a good price. Hunchback Zhang knows. The aquatic is still in love with Alain.
year. When Zhan Hunchback and Aquatic chased Alan together. He once swore to Alain: "Catch more fish. I'll let you go ashore and live." If you were married to an aquatic life. Alain had already gone ashore. Be a boss lady. For this, Zhang hunchback is very guilty.
What's even more worrying. The "home ship" that has lived for more than 20 years is also old. There is a danger of "falling apart" at any time. Before every typhoon. The police from the water police station are coming. Help them move to a classroom at school.
The government has been here. It is said that they were arranged to rent a low-rent house in the fishermen's new village. Ask them if they would like to go ashore and live. He glanced at Alain. Promise to go there and see it.
It was a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor. Spacious and bright. Alain looked at him contentedly. The look in his eyes was clear: "We've finally moved ashore." The wrinkles on the face have also been ironed out a lot.
Zhan hunched back and said, "We won't move."
Alain was anxious: "Such a good opportunity. There is no shop in this village after this village."
"Who said there was no chance. Ching is in college. When she works, she will definitely be able to make money and buy a house."
Alain wasn't saying anything. pinned the hope of "buying a house ashore" on his daughter.
Daughter Zhan Jiaqing is a sensible girl. From elementary school. After school, she went to the beach to pick up some beautiful seashells. Weekend visits to tourist attractions to peddle to tourists.
She found that foreign tourists were generous. The same shells can sell for a lot of money. So when I saw them, I chased them closely. In time. I was able to master the daily conversation of English, French, Spanish, Japanese and Korean.
Her appearance is pitiful. He also speaks so many languages. To amaze foreign tourists. Some of the older foreign tourists are not only happy to buy her shells. Also corrected her pronunciation. Tell her about some foreign life scenes and allusions. It's like treating her as a "little granddaughter in a foreign country".
So the shells she picked up not only sold more. And the price is high. Some vendors see her advantage. Wholesale the goods to her to peddle.
Since junior high school. Zhan Jiaqing stopped picking up shells. Rather, it is to buy shells directly from the hands of the little ones. After processing it, it is sold to tourists. With money. Parents are no longer asked to pay for schooling. There is also money to buy your favorite clothes, mobile phones and computers. The rest of the money can also be used to help my brother, who is currently in the normal school.
The fishermen in the bay are envious of the fact that "the Zhan family has raised a capable 'sister'."
The father is always frowning for his daughter's education. Gulping down a hookah.
The so-called gains must be gains. Zhan Jiaqing studied in order to earn money. Abandoned part of his studies. In addition to the English score is "first in the school". All other grades were only passing. became the "last student" in the class.
But Zhan Jiaqing didn't take this matter to heart at all. I still go to tourist attractions every day to sell rare shells purchased to tourists. Three years of high school. In addition to blowing typhoons. She sells shells every weekend. has quietly saved more than 10,000 yuan. She plans to go to college if she doesn't get in. Rent a kiosk at the scenic spot. Monopoly on those rare shells. When the "youngest and most beautiful proprietress of a tourist attraction" makes money to buy a commercial house for his father.
