"Today is 2.1, 2.4 is Chinese New Year's Eve."

Miao Miao sat at the entrance of the cave and looked at the red-hot stove, and said faintly.

Spring Festival, a day for people outside to look forward to returning, no matter how good or bad this year, no matter how difficult it is, everyone has to go home for the Spring Festival.

Now, I can't go back. The parents and relatives at home are estimated to have no intention of celebrating the New Year this year.

The two of them sat like this, silent.

-

"Otherwise, let's celebrate the Spring Festival too."

Xiang Wen broke this sad emotion.

Miao Miao looked up at him, and his face was firm.

"Well, good! Let's prepare the food. ”

Miao Miao snorted, pursed her lips, and looked at him.

"Let's go, I'll catch you a few fish."

"Look at you're in a hurry, eat lunch first."

Xiang Wen smiled.

-

After the two of them had lunch, Xiang Wen picked up the stone axe and walked towards the forest.

"I think this one is okay, you can try it and see how it feels."

"Yes, then this one, I'll sharpen it."

What the two of them were working on was a harpoon to spear the fish, which was a Y-shaped branch.

Xiang Wen sharpened both forks.

"Let's go, try it."

The two of them walked down the beach.

"Wait, I'll have this fishing net with me."

The two of them continued onward into the knee-deep sea, where several fish swam around.

Xiang Wen raised his fork and forked it down hard, but failed.

The fish swam around smartly, seemingly slowly, but when the fork went down, it ran away.

After a few rounds, Xiang Wen was tired and out of breath.

"I'll take a break, my hands are so sore." Xiang Wen waved his hand.

"Hmm. There you go. I'm going to study the research. Miao Miao folded the fishing net in her hand and threw it out, but it all fell under her feet.

Once, twice, three times... Miao Miao has also tried and failed repeatedly.

"Miao Miao, throw it like a discus."

Xiang Wen sat on the beach and shouted.

"I'll try." Xiang Wen got up and ran down.

"I've seen the video. Probably remember the action. ”

Xiang Wen turned around, bent down slightly, and raised his hands vigorously, Hey, don't say it, the net is open.

"Hey, fish, fish, stab it."

Two fish were trapped under the net.

But before Xiang Wen could raise his fork, the fish got out of the hole.

"Hey, it looks like we have to fix this broken net first."

"Can this be fixed?"

"I'll give it a try. You get some conch, we'll bring the nets back, and the sun will go down. ”

"Okay, you go up and wait for me first."

At sunset, the lives of men and women weavers are presented in the most primitive way on this island.

Miao Miao looked at the sky, looked at the sea in front of her, and the man who was prying the conch with her waist bent, and suddenly felt that primitive simplicity may be the true meaning of life. There is no desire here, and all the labor is just to fill the stomach. Simple needs, even the pursuit is simple.

By the sea, the man came up dressed in golden light. Miao Miao got up and greeted her, and couldn't help humming Huangmei in her heart:

The birds in the trees are in pairs, and the green waters and green mountains are smiling...... From now on, I will no longer suffer from that slavery, and both husband and wife will return their homes, and I will plough the fields and weave cloth, and I will bring water to you to water the garden...... You and I are like mandarin ducks, flying like wings in the world.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, I'm happy."

"Happy what?"

"Blind rejoice."

Xiang Wen saw that she was happy, and her heart was full of joy.

"I'll get dinner later, you go and mend the nets, and we'll try to catch a fish tomorrow."

"Hmm. Good. ”

Entering the cave, Xiang Wen first lit a fire on the third floor, and then lit a fire on the three stoves. That's when dinner began.

Miao Miao took out her life jacket and pulled the rope off the clothes.

And he divided it into several strands. Then spread out the fishing net and tie the broken place with two holes in the line.

"Look."

Miao Miao pulled up the fishing net and showed it to Xiang Wen. The knotted places are particularly conspicuous.

"Is that okay?"

"Well, I don't have a better way. This kind of thread is also lightweight. Let's try it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, let's come down and eat." The two had apparently decided to move the dining room next to the stove.

"Here we are."

……

"Catch a few fish, add conch, breadfruit, and we can also prepare a three-course dish for the New Year."

"That's up to you, Mr. Xiang."

"No problem."

……

This dinner was happily carried out in the longing for the New Year, and the firelight was printed on the faces of the two, red and vibrant.
