Chapter 72: Returning Home
"Brother and sister, are you alright? Do you see what it is? ”
Head Xu's phone call interrupted the warm embrace of the mother and son. Luo Luo was awakened by the ringing of the phone, only to find that he was buried in his mother's arms, his face was flushed with shame for a while, and he moved to the side to sit with a twist.
"It's okay, it's just a fish, super big fish! Unfortunately, I didn't have any research on this, so I couldn't see what kind of fish grew so big. ”
"It's okay! I'm really afraid that you have something in case, how can I explain to Cao An? The detection team also encountered a giant fish last time, but it didn't hurt people, and I didn't reveal it for fear of causing panic among the people! ”
"You're doing the right thing, it's a good time for everyone to recuperate. Don't cause any turmoil, don't worry! I'm going to keep everyone on board silent. ”
"It's comfortable to talk to smart people, and there's nothing to lose in the salt on the ship, right?"
"No, it didn't get on board at all, it just showed a tail."
Lin Yue put down the phone, although it was hard to say that Head Xu was a little sincere. But at least he revealed an important message: there was more than one giant fish in these waters!
Narrowing down the scope of her guess, there are only two possibilities for this phenomenon: first, unknown factors cause biological mutations. Second, the planet is developing in the direction of its ancestors in the environment and creatures for some reason.
Fortunately, the giant fish did not overflow, and it was never encountered again on subsequent trips. Three days later, the flotilla split into two roads at the fork of the Yan River.
"Captain Xu, these two naughty ghosts are by your side, so I'll go back to Linzhuang directly. Those four boats are unloaded, you just let them come back on their own! ”
"Okay, I won't send you! Rest assured, I try to ensure the safety of both the boat and the people! ”
"What do I have to worry about, now that the population is declining rapidly, everyone is smart, and no one will do stupid things!"
"Haha! That's what you're talking about, but unfortunately many people don't understand it as well as you! ”
Cao An hugged Yangyang and stood anxiously on the dock waiting, Dad Lin was also anxious, knowing that it was useless to wait, so he simply chatted with a few old guys in Xinshan Town about the daily life in the fields and alleys.
"Lao Lin, your daughter made it clear on the phone, did she come back with salt?"
"Yes! Half of the families in our town have been out of salt for several days, and they all live on the pickled jar vegetables they used to make. ”
"If it weren't for a few of our old guys who stopped us and came here to guard, I'm afraid it would be these hundreds of people, thousands of people are looking forward to it!"
"Now only your life in Lin Zhuang is a little better, anyway, did that girl have a son-in-law last time?"
"You old fellows, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths! Why, other people's daughters also come to me about their daughters? ”
Dad Lin laughed and scolded, but he wasn't really angry in his heart. Over the years, Lin Zhuang has something in his hands, and Johor Bahru Town has a hard time, but he has never relied on the crowd to bully the door. When he was busy with farming, he also supported a large number of laborers every time, and he knew very well in his heart that this was the favor of these old guys who borrowed oil back then.
"Swallow your heart into your belly. Yueyue said, you can take two boats of salt to one boat, my old Lin family's daughter is so atmospheric! ”
"Say you're fat, and you're gasping for me! If you hadn't given birth to this good girl, would you be happy to treat you? ”
"That's it, you old thing! Back then, how many young men in these ten miles and eight towns wanted to call you an old man, and you had to say that you wanted to recruit a son-in-law for your eldest daughter, which scared everyone away. But he sulked and married his daughter to other places, you say that you are a person, who is your heart? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? My bastard boy and Lin Yue were still classmates back then, alas! I thought that the building was close to the water, but I didn't expect you to come out ...... Make such a trick. ”
"Then you have wronged me! Old man, Yueyue made an appointment with Cao An when she was in high school, I really want to find her a son-in-law, but Cao An's kid is a single seedling, who do you say is not the boss who stays at home? ”
"Cut! Who believes! ”
"With the fiery temper you had when you were young, an honest good girl from a young age dared to fall in love?"
The big guy chatted and chatted, and it became a criticism of Dad Lin, and he was very dissatisfied with his behavior of flowing fat water to outsiders' fields! Especially when there were really a few, the boss who couldn't come to the door to discuss the kiss was rude, and he even shouted at the throat, his face was flushed, and his heart regretted his intestines!
"Brother-in-law, I'm very proud!" Guo Feng laughed in his heart when he heard the discussion, but he teased Cao An seriously!
"Of course, your sister is beautiful, and there must be many people chasing her! But...... Xiao Yi is the village flower of Lin Jiagou, do you want me to help you ask Lin Yue, how many wild bees and butterflies were there back then? ”
Guo Feng is dead!
Cao An is not deaf, of course he heard! Unhappy, he exerted his extraordinary combat effectiveness and killed his ill-intentioned brother-in-law on the beach. When he turned around, he met everyone's scrutinizing gaze, and simply raised his son and threw it high, which could not only make his son giggle, but also demonstrate silently:
My wife is mine, I stamped it when she was young, and my son is here, who dares to pry the corner!
"Boat! The ship is coming! The ship is coming! ”
"Where? Why didn't I see anything? ”
"I saw it, I saw it! Haha, there's salt! ”
"Believe it or not, I dare to eat a handful on the spot!"
"I'll beat you to death, what is it bad to waste, dare to waste salt for me?"
"Haha, call you cheap!"
"Uncle, teach him a hard lesson!"
There is a young man who is a second B, and he finally found a hot topic, and as soon as he said it, he was ruthlessly beaten by his own son. There was a series of laughter from everyone.
The wharf was lively and roaring, like the morning market of the farmers' market, laughter and angry scolding, and the epitome of countless people after the end of the world.
The old people called it "good" again and again! The young man whistled and did a tumult! A few women also secretly wet their eyes, stretching their necks from time to time to look into the distance.
They may not be waiting for more than salt, but hope for the future!
"It's Daddy! It's Daddy! ”
"I see Daddy! And the younger brother! ”
"Daddy! Father! ”
The sharp-eyed child ran to the deck and jumped like a monkey, waving his hands and shouting from time to time:
"And grandpa! Uncle Guo! Grandfather! ”
Not to mention the excitement of the children, even the adults on the boat couldn't help but lower their heads, for fear of being blinded by the sand. Being separated for so long may have been commonplace in the past, but now separation often means parting!
Thinking of that giant fish, everyone's hearts are still trembling. Thinking of the seaside specialties that he brought back with a large bag, he raised his head happily and recklessly searched for the most cordial smiling face among the dense human heads.
"Listen to me!"
Lin Yue slipped into her husband's bed last night and was not ashamed or irritable, but she was not in a warm mood at this time, and just thought of a question:
"You have so many dry goods, do you want to share some with relatives and friends?"
"Of course! There is no reason to eat alone! ”
More than a dozen young men looked at Lin Yue like fools, thinking in their hearts that this Sister Yue had become stupid, how could she ask such a low-level question?
"Then you draw up a list of relatives and friends for me, and I will fill in the rest of the people you can't take care of."
