Chapter 16: Fish
......
Fishing village.
Beach side.
The annual fishing season begins.
One by one, the sailboats went against the waves, raised their sails and rode the wind, heading towards the sea.
On the sailboats, there are all strong young men, ranging from 20 to 45 years old.
And on the beach, there are old people, women and children, watching these men go to sea, hoping that they will have a good start to the new year.
It was not until the sailboat became a dot in their eyes and then disappeared that these long-awaited people departed and returned to the fishing village to continue their work.
At this moment, the young men on the sailboat are already approaching the sea area where they used to fish, or they are barehanded, or they take out their harpoons, or use wooden fishing darts, ready to go into the water to fish.
On the bow of the galleon, the handsome young man Yu Li said to Ji Xin, the heroic young man beside him: "Brother Xin, do you want to bring tools, after all, you are the first time to fish." ”
Ji Xin saw that Yuli was about to catch the fish with his bare hands, and he had the heart to compare, so he said without hesitation: "No, let's start quickly." ”
"Okay. ”
Immediately, Yuli shouted, "Brothers, go into the water!"
"Get into the water!"
Suddenly, the young adults who were already eager to try it pounced and dived into the water one by one.
Immediately, the fishing operation began.
From time to time, people pop out of the water, either because they can't hold their breath in the water, or because they catch a fish and put it in a wooden bucket on the boat.
In short, this sea area has become lively because of the arrival of these young adults.
It wasn't until the sun began to set that the young men came out of the water one after another, returned to the sailboats, and prepared to return.
Of course, with a full load.
So everyone was very happy, and there were smiles on their faces.
Because these fish are not only their source of food, but also their source of income.
If you can't eat enough fish, you can sell it at the market, or you can dry it or eat or sell it.
This has been the local culture of the people of the fishing village for thousands of years.
Just then, a big splash came out of the water.
Immediately, fish power emerged from it.
It can be seen that the long silver fish with shining scales in his hand is more than fifty centimeters long.
Immediately after, Ji Xin also appeared.
In the same way, he had a fish in his hand, and it was more than three times more powerful than the fish.
Immediately, Ji Xin looked at the fish in Yuli's hand, which was only three or four catties, and then looked at the fish in his hand, how could there be a dozen catties, and he couldn't help but smile proudly.
"Ali, how is it, I caught it with my bare hands, right?"
Yuli smiled, "It's okay." ”
Ji Xin was a little dissatisfied.
Although it was the first time he came to fish, he caught a fish with his bare hands, and it was bigger than the other party, shouldn't he be admired?
Shouldn't it be boastful?
It's a pity that Yuli didn't understand Ji Xin's words at all.
This made Ji Xin very depressed.
I finally showed my skills once, surpassing the fish power, but I didn't expect the fish power to care at all.
Doesn't this mean that he is singing a one-man show by himself from beginning to end?
That's embarrassing.
Therefore, after getting on the boat, Ji Xin deliberately faced the fish power, wanting others to make a good comparison, seeing that he was stronger than the fish power, and the fish he caught were bigger than the fish power.
The effect seems to be significant.
"Wow!"
Immediately, there was an exclamation all around.
Ji Xin immediately laughed.
Look at it, everyone is a person who understands.
It's very face-saving!
Of course, you have to be low-key and humble, so even if he wants to laugh happily at the moment, he must maintain his demeanor, remain reserved, and strive to maintain a smile so as not to let himself laugh.
But in an instant, Ji Xin's smile stopped.
At this time, it fully reflects his uneducated side in terms of fish.
Of course, because it was Ji Xin's mental activity from beginning to end, others didn't know that he was uneducated in this area.
It's good that I didn't lose face, no.
And the source of the crowd's amazement is, of course, fish power.
The whitebait caught by Yuli is not as big as Ji Xin, but this kind of fish is the type that "looks thin in clothes and has meat in undressing".
Therefore, the actual weight of this fish is at least more than 40 catties, which is far more than ten times heavier than the visual weight.
And the pendulum force is huge, especially in the water.
From this, it can be seen how strong the fish is, and this silverfish can't move in his hand at all.
"Brother Li deserves to be Brother Li, it's really amazing!"
"Yes, he is worthy of being the first soldier to go out of our fishing village!"
All around, there are praises and emotions for the fish power.
And Ji Xin has completely become a foil.
This is completely contrary to what he originally envisioned.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuli was a more alternative fish, according to the normal plot development, it should be him who won everyone's praise now, and Yuli became his foil.
Blame it, this damn whitebait!
Ji Xin would not admit that he was uneducated in fish, so the pot was naturally thrown to the silverfish.
Beside him, Yuli, who was happy and smiling and accepting everyone's praise, reminded in time: "Okay, brothers, the sun is about to set, let's go back quickly!"
"Oh, go back!"
Immediately, all the sailboats lowered their sails and prepared to return.
But at this moment, the cry of a baby was faintly heard not far away.
Most of the young adults didn't hear it, and only Yuli and Ji Xin, who were warriors, had far more ear power than ordinary people, and they could faintly hear the baby's cry.
"Quack ......"
Yuli and Ji Xin glanced at each other, and immediately decided, "You go first, I'll take a look." ”
After saying that, Yuli dived into the water and swam in the direction of the baby's cry.
Until this time, the young adults around didn't know what was wrong, only to see Yuli enter the water again, and suddenly looked at each other one by one.
Fortunately, Ji Xin was on the boat and explained to everyone, so everyone understood what was going on.
Since this sea area is where the fishing village has been fishing for many years, and has never encountered danger, everyone is not worried about the fish in distress, and they all stand on the boat, waiting for the fish to come back.
A moment later, Yuli returned with one hand holding a fish that was more than three times his size.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the big fish was dragged to the boat.
At this time, the baby's cry could be clearly heard.
It was strange that the cry came from the belly of a big fish.
This kind of thing is unheard of, is there a baby in the belly of a fish?
But how is this possible?
This is beyond everyone's realization, and I think it's incredible.
Many of the people on the sailboat have already become abbas and have children, but they know very well that the cry of the baby in the belly of the fish is a human baby.
Especially Ji Xin, who is next to the big fish, has also become a father and has a cute four-year-old daughter.
When his daughter was born, it was this kind of cry.
So, he was absolutely sure that the baby's cry was a human baby.
Maybe it's because the baby's cry is getting louder and faster, and Yuli has not yet figured out what to do, and his body has already moved.
Squatting down, he took out an iron dagger and carefully sliced open the belly of the big fish.
As the belly of the fish is sliced open, the baby's cry grows louder and louder.
The fish couldn't help but speed up, and soon completely dissected the belly of the big fish.
Immediately, a bloodstained and fat baby appeared in front of everyone.
Although the baby is covered in blood and its small appearance is blurred, its big smart eyes, as long as you look at it, you can't help but love it.
The rough men around all softened.
And fish power is a little overwhelming.
Because he hasn't married a wife yet, let alone has children, and has no experience at all, he doesn't know how to pick up this baby.
Ji Xin, who was on the side, also knew the situation of Yuli, so he immediately stepped forward and squatted down, carefully picked up the baby and began to coax.
"Oh, little baby, oh good, don't cry, don't cry......"
It's a pity that the baby seems to be very faceless.
The more Ji Xin coaxed, the louder the baby cried.
Yuli beside him couldn't bear to hear it, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand quietly beside Ji Xin, his eyes full of anxiety.
Miraculously, when the baby's big eyes noticed the fish power and looked into the fish power's eyes, it didn't cry.
And laughed, like a little angel.
Lovely and charming.
Yu Li couldn't help but laugh along, feeling like his whole heart was going to be warmed by the baby's smile.
Ji Xin looked at this scene and angrily handed the baby who didn't give him face to Yuli to hug.
Yuli subconsciously took the baby, reacted instantly, and his heart was raised, for fear that he would accidentally hurt him.
Ji Xin felt funny when he saw this scene, and his anger was gone, and he began to teach Yuli how to hold and coax him.
Gradually, the fish power began to get started.
And the baby, as if tired of crying, fell asleep in the arms of Yuli.
And Yuli, looking at the sleeping baby in his arms, suddenly gave birth to a different kind of emotion.
Of course, at this time, Yuli didn't understand that this different kind of emotion was called father's love.
"What, you're going to raise this little kid?" Ji Xin joked.
Yuli didn't think about it, and nodded directly, "Hmm." ”
"Are you serious?" Ji Xin was surprised.
"I'm feeding the whole family by myself, and now I'm just having one more baby, so there's no problem. "Yuli is full of confidence.
"Well, I'...... Well, I'm optimistic about you!" Ji Xin didn't know what to say, so he had to say in a slightly euphemistic tone.
Only those who have been abba know the hard work of raising children.
Obviously, Ji Xin is not optimistic about Yuli taking the baby, but seeing that Yuli is fully focused on the baby at this time, he didn't say anything.
Soon the sailboat returned to the beach.
The old people, women and children of the fishing village have been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing these young adults return safely, the people who were waiting were also relieved.
As the young adults reunite with their waiting families, everyone also knows that Yuli has saved a baby and is ready to raise it.
So, everyone curiously came to Yuli's side to see what the baby looked like.
In particular, many of the children were curious about where they came from, so they asked their parents and babas.
As for Abba and Grandma's answer, it's strange.
Some say they picked it up by the sea, some say they picked it up on the bed, and some say they picked it up in the woods......
In short, there are no surprises.
So at this moment, these children who came over are asking Yuli where this baby came from.
And Yuli just made a silent gesture.
The baby was sleeping soundly now, and Yuli was worried that the children would wake him up.
And these children don't seem to understand, anyway, they do whatever Yuli says, they obediently close their mouths, and then they are taken home by their respective fathers and grandmothers.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Around, only Yuli who was holding the baby was left, Ji Xin and Ji Xin's wife Yan Xia, as well as the couple's four-year-old little padded jacket Ji Xiaoxue, and Yan Xia's good sister Hua Rong.
A group of six people walked together on the way back to the village.
At this time, Yan Xia arched Hua Rong with her elbow and whispered, "Eh, Yuli is ready to raise this fat little guy, what do you say?"
"Are you going to raise it with him?"
"Who is going to raise it with him?" Hua Rong whispered shyly.
"Don't you?"
"I feel, no, sure, Yuli can't take this little guy alone. Yan Xia said quite firmly.
"What's the matter with me?" Hua Rong muttered heartily.
At this time, Ji Xiaoxue, who was held high by Ji Xin, looked at the sleeping baby in Yuli's arms, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Li, what's the name of the little brother?"
"Yes, I almost forgot, this little kid hasn't been named yet, but fortunately, my little baby reminded me in time. Ji Xin doted on Ji Xiaoxue.
Then he suggested to Yuli: "Since you want to raise this little brat, why don't you give him a name now." ”
Yan Xia, who was whispering, suddenly became interested when she heard this.
"This little guy is fat and looks so cute, why don't you call it Dudu?"
"Or a cutie. ”
"Otherwise, Chubby Smash?"
Although these names are Yan Xia's improvisation, it is not to blame her for being so embarrassed, but the way to choose the name here is so simple and rude.
Almost all of them are based on what they see and feel, or the environment at the time.
For example, Yan Xia herself, because she was born when the sun was shining, she was called Yan Xia.
Another example is Ji Xiaoxue, because she was born when it was snowing, she was called Ji Xiaoxue.
It's as simple as that.
"What's your name?"
"The little guy is a boy paper, and these names don't fit him at all. Hua Rong did not hesitate to stand up against the good sisters, and she had the style of a grandmother who protects her cubs.
And Yuli, at the moment, was completely immersed in naming the little guys, and didn't listen to what they said.
After a long while, he muttered, "The child in the belly of the fish, the child in the belly of the fish...... Son of the Fish. ”
"Just call him a fish. ”
The final word is on the fish.
Although Yan Xia was a little dissatisfied, muttering that the name she chose was still good, Hua Rong's beautiful eyes lit up, and she seemed to be very satisfied with the name Yuli chose for the little guy.
Maybe even Hua Rong herself hasn't realized it, it seems that as long as it's about fish power, she has always been on the side of fish power.
Obviously, as long as someone can take the initiative, there is a chance that they can get out of the ranks of single dogs.
It's a pity that someone doesn't understand romance.
Typical Mune!
Commonly known as, nerds.
Fortunately, Yuli now has fish.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand romantic, fight your son!
As for why, we'll find out later.
"Fish. ”
"Oh, Cher has a younger brother!"
"Little Fish is Cher's little brother. ”
Ji Xiaoxue didn't quite understand what the adults said.
But she knew that this little north nose had a name from then on, called Yu'er.
And she is bigger than Yu'er, so she is naturally Yu'er's sister.
On the contrary, the fish is naturally his younger brother.
