Chapter 37 Family Affection Also Needs to Be Managed

Arriving at the ferry terminal in Dongling Town, Xu Qingya, who had not returned to Fulin Island for a while, seemed to be quite happy. Perhaps as she grew older, Xu Qingya gradually realized that her hometown on Fulin Island was not as unbearable as she imagined.

It's just that every time she sees the turbid seawater, Xu Qingya can really realize that the current seawater pollution in the East China Sea is indeed more serious than imagined. Fortunately, Xu Haibao told her that the water around the village was still turquoise.

In a sense, Fulin Island is remote. However, it is precisely because of its unique geographical environment that Fulin Island has created a world indisputable, and it still retains the appearance of the island fishing village in the early years.

"Third uncle, I'm sorry for you!"

Xu Qingya, who came down from the ferry with her things, soon saw Xu Licheng, who had been waiting at the pier for a long time. For this third uncle, Xu Qingya is naturally no stranger. It's just that she hasn't seen this third uncle for a while.

Looking at Xu Qingya, who greeted well-behaved, Xu Licheng, who took the luggage, also smiled and said, "Girl, I'm willing to come back!"

"Third uncle, aren't I coming back! I usually have to go to school, and I don't have time to go home, in fact, I still miss my third uncle very much!"

Knowing that Xu Licheng was a joke and she didn't like to go back to her hometown, Xu Qingya blushed a little, but also smiled and sprinkled Jiao. After all, as the only girl in the Xu family, Xu Qingya is still very favored in the family.

Especially the third aunt, who has always wanted to have a daughter, regards Xu Qingya as her own daughter. It's just a pity that after the third aunt gave birth to a child, she lost her fertility function due to physical reasons.

Perhaps because of this, Xu Licheng and his wife love Xu Qingya, a niece, even more than their own son. Once upon a time, Xu Haibao's cousin Xu Haixing also bluntly said that he was not biological, but Xu Qingya was born to his parents.

After laughing, Xu Licheng also said enthusiastically: "Haibao, you and Xiaoya didn't eat on the boat, did you? Hurry home, your third aunt has already prepared a table of meals, just waiting for you to come back!"

"Great! I can finally taste my aunt's craft again!"

may have decided to go home for the New Year, Xu Qingya gradually understood that there were still people who cared about her in the small fishing village she was about to go to. And for her own reasons, she rarely or even resents going to that place.

Now that she finally decided to come back, she really realized that she had neglected the family affection that was always there!

Originally, I wanted to eat in the town, and by the way, I found someone to help decorate the old house. Now that he suddenly learned that his third aunt had prepared a meal, Xu Haibao finally decided to go back to the village first, and then discuss the decoration with the third uncle.

After all, there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, and if you want to decorate your house, there should be people in the village. If someone in the village knows, it will save a lot of trouble. Finding artisans from the town will undoubtedly cost a little more.

In fact, although there are not many villagers living on Fulin Island, there are also many craftsmen, such as masons and stonemasons. It's just that the masons in the village now rarely have the opportunity to take on the task of building new houses.

But for Xu Haibao, if he wants to preserve or reproduce the original style of the island fishing village buildings in the future, these veteran craftsmen are very important. Perhaps in addition to fishing, his employment will also bring them new income.

If you can make money by staying on the island, Xu Haibao believes that these craftsmen, who are quite old, will not choose to leave the village to work in the city. After all, you can find something to do if you stay in the village, so why bother to go to the city?

Sitting in Xu Licheng's small fishing village, Xu Haibao was still very cautious, threw a life jacket to Xu Qingya and said: "Xiaoya, put on this clothes! Today's wind and waves look not small, don't catch a cold!" Third uncle, wait until you get off the boat and drive slowly!"

"Good!"

Regarding Xu Haibao's explanation, Xu Qingya didn't say much. It's just that when he was wearing a life jacket, he couldn't help but say, "Third uncle, why don't you build a shed for this fishing boat? ”

"When it rains, I don't go to sea. If you build a shed, it takes up a bit of space. Girl, are you still seasick now?"

As a girl who grew up in a fishing village, Xu Qingya didn't seem to get seasick when she took the ferry. Only this kind of fishing boat will be dizzy every time. Maybe it's because of this that she is a little reluctant to go home.

Xu Qingya, who was questioned, blushed a little and said, "It shouldn't be! I don't know!"

From Xu Qingya's words that were a little lacking in confidence, she knew that Xu Licheng, who had a shadow on the fishing boat, also intended to slow down the speed of the boat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three people sitting on the boat also chatted without a word.

Asked about Xu Haixing, Xu Licheng also smiled and said, "I received a call from your father the day before yesterday, and I have already called that kid." If Xiao Nian is young, he will definitely not be able to come back. However, the Spring Festival should be back. ”

"Third uncle, is Brother Haixing working in the East China Sea? Speaking of which, my brother and I came back from the East China Sea last time, and we didn't even go to see him!"

Thinking of some of the situations Xu Haibao said, Xu Qingya was still a little concerned about her cousin who graduated early. After all, Xu Haibao was conscripted into the army back then, and when Xu Haixing was in high school in the city, he also lived in the Xu family for a long time.

It's just that compared with his attitude towards Xu Haibao, Xu Haixing also seems a little lacking in confidence in front of Xu Qingya. It's just that the two who are older brothers also love Xu Qingya, the only sister.

For Xu Qingya's embarrassment, Xu Licheng smiled and said, "It's okay, that kid has just been working for a long time, and I heard that there are quite a lot of things." And the company still arranges business trips for him at every turn. If you want to find him, it is not easy.

Anyway, when we come back for the New Year, our family can get together again for the New Year, and then we can get together again. Speaking of which, the last time Baowa was discharged from the army, he still wanted to come back to have a look, but he couldn't spare time!"

Although there are only three children in the two families, the three children of the Xu family have a good relationship. As an elder, Xu Licheng is naturally very pleased. After all, family ties are also the most important part of maintaining the continuity of the family.

It's a pity that the Xu family's lineage doesn't seem to be very vigorous. Originally, Xu Licheng finally had an elder brother, but he died unexpectedly young. And the second generation of the Xu family currently has only two men.

This also means that if the Xu family wants to spread out in the future, it will ultimately depend on the two brothers of the Xu family. Although Xu Haibao still has an aunt, for Xu Licheng, the water spilled by the married daughter is still different from that of a man.

The most important thing is that although the aunt married into the city, she is not in the city. According to Xu Haibao's knowledge, this aunt and her husband often do business in the north and rarely return to Baohai. As for returning to the village, it is even less.

Although they are relatives, Xu Haibao doesn't seem to be too interested in this aunt. The reason is very simple, that aunt and that brother-in-law don't have much ability, but they always want to do big things. Occasionally calling home, most of them ask to borrow money to do business.

Even Xu Haibao's father has always been very concerned about his aunt who is doing business in other places. But this aunt's inattention also disappointed my father. I haven't seen each other all year round, and this kind of family affection has weakened over time.

In the final analysis, family affection and love are sometimes the same, they both need to be managed with heart. If you blindly ask others to pay, but you don't want to pay. Over time, family affection and love may die.

When the fishing boat arrived on Fulin Island, looking at the familiar old houses of the fishing village and the fishing boat wharf, Xu Qingya also looked very excited. took out the New Year's gift that Xu Haibao bought for her in the East China Sea, and a single-lens reflex camera with a little expensive price began to shoot.

Many times, some of the scenery around us is always easy to forget. Now that Xu Qingya, who finally remembered this, suddenly felt that the scenery of this fishing village that recorded her childhood memories was actually very beautiful.

The old houses built on the hill are scattered and orderly, and the rows rise above the hillside. The smoke from time to time also adds a touch of peaceful charm to the fishing village. Such an ancient house fishing village is really rare in China!

When the fishing boat landed smoothly, Xu Qingya, who didn't have to carry her luggage, looked at the villagers who asked from time to time, and said hello with a smile. What made her feel a little embarrassed was that she didn't know any of the children playing at the entrance of the village.

Seeming to see Xu Qingya's embarrassment, Xu Haibao also smiled and said, "It's okay! In a few days, you will know whose children these leather monkeys are." The last time I went back to the village, I was like you, and many people are almost gone. ”

Listening to the villagers laughing, he said: "You are the girl of the Liyan family, right? It seems that the water in the city is still raising people, and the little girl has grown so big in the blink of an eye." ”

Compared with many villagers who recognized Xu Qingya at a glance, Xu Qingya, who was originally a member of the village, seemed a little unfamiliar to these villagers. Fortunately, she didn't come back for two years, and she could still remember the names of some of the older villagers.

Xu Qingya, who has a sweet urine since childhood, has been called uncle, uncle, aunt, and uncle, and the villagers are very happy. Gradually, the return of Xu Qingya's two siblings to the village seems to have made the fishing village a little lively!
