That night, Li Tanghai did not respond positively to Guizi's words, but waited until the stall went home, he sat alone on the windowsill, looked at the faint moonlight outside, and smoked a box of cigarettes.

His wife got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and when she saw that he was still not going to sleep, she asked curiously: "Boss, don't you still have to go to buy goods tomorrow?" ”

Li Tanghai waved his hand and said to his wife: "You go to sleep first, I can't sleep now, and then I can smoke." ”

As he spoke, he took out another box of unopened cigarettes and was about to open them, but his wife was immediately unhappy when she saw it, and rushed up to confiscate it directly for him.

said coldly with a straight face: "You don't want to die, you didn't sleep all night and smoked a pack of cigarettes, and now you still smoke, do you really think you are still a twenty-year-old young man?"

"Alas!" Li Tanghai sighed heavily, and did not quarrel with his wife, allowing her to mutter in his ear.

"What the hell happened? Is it related to Guizi's unrelenting appearance one night?" his wife asked as she moved a stool and sat beside Li Tanghai.

Li Tanghai nodded, "Yes, he came over tonight and told me that he had found a new job and planned to go fishing again." ”

"What, Guizi said that he would go fishing again? Didn't he swear that he would never work on a fishing boat again?" Li Tanghai's wife said in surprise.

Li Tanghai smiled bitterly: "Life is compelling, and he can't help himself. His son is twenty-three and is about to marry his daughter-in-law, and his daughter is also eighteen years old and is going to college. ”

His wife was frail and sickly, and the burden of the family's life was on his shoulders alone. He doesn't have any skills, and if he doesn't go out to sea to fish, what can he do with his little salary for moving bricks?"

Li Tanghai's wife was silent for a moment, because Guizi's family was close to theirs and knew more. The money for his wife's hospitalization last time was borrowed from his own family, and he hasn't paid it back yet.

"But...... The ship is so dangerous, can he get through the hurdle in his heart?"

Li Tanghai looked up at the moon outside the window, and said quietly: "What if you can't get over that hurdle? In fact, not only your son, as far as I know, none of the dozen or so brothers who survived our boat had a good life. ”

"If I hadn't learned a few cooking skills with my dad at the beginning, and now I make some money by setting up a food stall, I might not be as good as your son. ”

"Then ......," Li Tanghai's wife hesitated, "what did your son say to you?"

Li Tanghai said: "What else can I do, you want me to gather more than a dozen brothers from before and go to sea again, so that we can rely on each other, even if we are on the sea, I am not afraid that others will be unfavorable to me." ”

"According to Guizi, the boss of this new company is very generous, and the ordinary crew members are offered a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, in addition to bonuses, and they have a lot of people to recruit, I heard that it is a newly established joint fleet, and hundreds of people are recruited, and all positions are recruited. ”

"Boss, what are you going to do? Do you also want to go to the interview? Let me tell you, I don't agree!" Li Tanghai's wife said categorically.

"The combined fleet recruited now is definitely going to carry out deep-sea fishing, and when the time comes, it will be a year or two, I don't worry!"

Li Tanghai looked at the dim light and still couldn't hide his wife's worry, he knew that his experience five years ago scared the whole family.

In order not to let them worry about themselves, Li Tanghai never went to sea again, but honestly set up food stalls and barbecue stalls.

Although he has made a lot of money in the past few years, it is too much worse than the income from going out to sea to fish, and he can't see the wide sea, which makes Li Tanghai's heart actually unhappy.

He sighed deeply again and said, "Go to sleep!"

Lying on the bed, Li Tanghai's eyes stared at the ceiling in a daze, and his mind kept circling the tragedy that happened five years ago.

He was less than 40 years old at the time, and he was the captain of a fishing boat of more than 30 people, leading people to fish for squid in the Peruvian fishing grounds, but then a conflict accident occurred on board.

In addition, I can't see the land at sea all the year round, and I am trapped on a small fishing boat, which makes people feel very depressed, and later I have a dispute over playing cards.

One guy said that several other people had teamed up to cheat him out of money, and as a result, he hacked them to death with a knife while the cabin was asleep, and tried to take the boat and flee abroad to take refuge.

Fortunately, he was discovered by Li Tanghai early, and he was entangled in a wave of more than two dozen people to stop the plan of those dozen people.

Later, the fishing boat deviated from its course, and Li Tanghai and the group of people confronted at sea for more than a month before they were rescued.

At that time, Li Tanghai and the others were already starving and dying, barely surviving on the rotting squid. In addition, the group of murderers and troublemakers themselves had another internal strife and killed several people in a month's time.

In the end, the leader was forced to jump into the sea, and I don't know what happened in the end, Li Tanghai and their surviving No. 20 people were rescued back to China, stimulated by this, they resigned from the company one after another, and many of them vowed not to work on the ship again.

Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the noble son who swore that he would never work on a fishing boat again still can't withstand the pressure of reality and chooses to work on a fishing boat again.

When she got up the next morning, Li Tanghai's wife looked at her husband's bloodshot eyes and haggard look, and guessed that he must have stayed up all night without sleeping.

She knew that her husband must be thinking about going back to work at sea again, and he relied on himself as the captain of the ship and said that he would bring everyone to make a fortune together, but it almost led everyone to a dead end.

In the past five years, she knows that her husband is not happy, and she always feels sorry for his brothers.

Especially knowing that those people are not doing well, like Guizi, most of them are selling coolies and barely making ends meet.

In fact, in the first few years of the fishing boat accident, after my husband left the company, many other fishing companies wanted to hire my husband to work on their company's fishing boat, and they were paid a lot of wages, but they all let themselves block back.

After all, no matter how capable a person is, he will gradually fail to keep up with the development if he has not been exposed to this aspect of things for many years.

In the past, I didn't want to see my husband go on an adventure at sea again, but looking at today's situation, even if I stop him, he will not be happy!

Rather than this, it's better to let him go, anyway, the food stalls at home are busy themselves, so it's a big deal to call his sister to help out.

"Husband, since you want to go back to sea so much, then you can go to the talent market today, if there is really a job that suits you, you can go and leave it to me at home. ”
