Ao Jing didn't go out to help find someone, but he couldn't sleep at night.

got up and poured water to drink, and saw Luo Xiao sitting on the bed alone, burying his head in his knees.

"Why don't you sleep?" Ao Jing sat down and gently ruffled his hair and asked in a low voice.

"Can't sleep." Luo Xiao's voice was a little choked, as if he had cried.

Ao Jing didn't know what to say, so he could only sit down next to him and accompany him silently.

In the second half of the night, the two of them had just been squinting for a while when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Ao Jing woke up and went to open the door in the dark.

"Who?" She stood in the doorway and whispered, only to pull the door open a crack.

"It's me, Luo Zhan."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ao Jing hurriedly opened the door, and hurriedly turned on the light to let Luo Zhan in.

"Xiaoxiao is okay, right?" As soon as Luo Zhan entered the house, he pulled his son up and down to look back and forth, and at the end he hugged his son, obviously relieved.

The sound of them talking woke up Bian Xiao and Wei Wei in the back room.

Weiwei ran out barefoot in short-sleeved shorts, hugged her father's leg and began to hum.

"Instructor, you sit down first, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Don't be busy, I just can't worry about rushing back to see. It's okay, it's okay. Well, I may have to ask you to take care of them for me for a few days, and I still have some things to settle first. ”

"No problem, a few of them are very well-behaved, their homework and everything are done, and they will come to my unit to greet me when they go outside to play."

Hearing Ao Jing's words, Luo Zhan hugged his daughter and smiled a little.

Ao Jing sat on the edge of the bed with his coat on, while Luo Xiao and Bian Xiao sat on the inside of the bed and leaned against the wall to tell Luo Zhan about what had happened in the past few days.

Wei Wei was tired of her father for a while, and after yawning with the boss, she was carried into the house by Ao Jing to continue sleeping.

Luo Zhan pulled his son to whisper something, Ao Jing avoided suspicion and didn't go out to listen, but vaguely heard him say something like "no" and "stepmother".

"Qinqing, then I'll go back first, thank you for your hard work."

Luo Zhan greeted her outside through the door curtain, and left with the door.

After he left, Ao Jing also followed Luo Wei to lie down, and the little brothers outside also fell asleep in a quilt.

I woke up a little late the next day, and I was still troubled by Ao Hai.

He came over with breakfast, saw that the room was full of people who didn't get up, and gave Ao Jing a lesson.

"Brother, don't chatter, tell me about last night, where did you find someone later?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Ao Hai's mouth twitched slightly, "I found it in the old storehouse of the agency." The little girl hid alone in the abandoned room of the old storehouse and fell asleep. ”

Ao Hai obviously avoided the important and trivialized, and after saying such a sentence, he directly took the topic away.

"I'm resting today, do you have anything to do, why don't we go to the fishing village for a while?"

This is the first time that Ao Hai has proposed to take his sister out to play, and before Ao Jing can speak, Weiwei jumped up excitedly and asked Ao Hai if she could take her with her.

"Go, go, go. We have to go to the fishing village to buy some seafood, so you can follow the car. But I can say hello to the front, don't run around when you pass, and don't run to the beach to play without permission. ”

The two little brothers looked at each other and nodded desperately.

After breakfast, Ao Hai took them to the back door of the agency, where a jeep and a small truck were loading things.

"Old Joe, I'll take my sister and them over for a stroll today, and you can help me keep an eye on the warehouse."

Ao Hai greeted a man with a record book, and the other party looked over with a smile and nodded at Ao Jing.

"Okay, go ahead, I've got me here. By the way, I heard Hai Laoqi say that they got a batch of big goods yesterday, so it's early, you go over and see if there's anything else, and get one for your sister and them to taste. ”

"Know, thank you, old Joe."

Ao Hai muttered a few words to him, and then drove Ao Jing and a few of them into the jeep in front.

It took about an hour to drive to the fishing village.

As soon as he got out of the car, the strong smell of the sea came to his face, Rao is Ao Jing had already been mentally prepared, and he almost went straight to Yue.

The children didn't feel anything, or they might have run around with their parents, getting used to the smell of the seaside fishing village, and getting off the car would lie on the wall of other fishermen's houses to see the seafood dried by others.

Mussels are produced here, also known as Haihong, and the finished product after processing is generally called mussels.

On the roof and yard of the house where Luo Xiao and the others were lying were dried mussels.

The fishing village was on a small hillside, and they got off the car on the mountainside, and further down was the tidal flat.

On both sides of the road are fishermen's houses, and every household is drying seafood.

There is also a flat dam where fishing nets are stacked, and women in straw hats sit around mending broken nets.

They usually work in the cool time of the morning, and wait a while, the sun is too fierce, and it is easy to get people sick.

After Ao Hai explained the task to the other two, he picked up Weiwei and led them down.

"Hai Lao's house is at the bottom, he is the best boat in the village, he has a big boat at home, and he often organizes people in the village to go to sea to fish with him."

Ao Jing has studied the history of coastal fisheries.

It was not until '95 that the fishing moratorium began on the Bohai side of the East China Sea, while on the South China Sea side it began in '99.

In recent years, everyone has also opened up fishing, but because the means of production and technology cannot keep up, the actual effort and return are quite disproportionate.

Most families cannot afford to buy medium- to large-sized fishing boats, so they can only use small sampans to fish offshore. And such intensive fishing methods have caused the decline of offshore fishery resources at a terrible rate.

Of course, at this point in time, the inshore fishing industry is still in a thriving stage, and the grassroots cadres in the fishing villages are even encouraging everyone to raise funds to buy fishing boats to go to sea.

The most common phrase during this time period is "He who eats crabs first gets rich first".

The rapid development of the fishing industry has indeed piled up tens of thousands of households. And among these people who got rich first, those who had the foresight to open up the source or open up another battlefield in time. The short-sighted ones lost all their wealth in the later period when the fishing industry dried up.

Under the leadership of his brother, Ao Jing met Hai Laoqi for the first time, a legendary capable man who can compete with the dragon prince for a son-in-law.

"Brother Hai, I knew you would definitely come." The skinny young man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

After hugging Ao Hai, he looked at Ao Jing who was following Ao Hai, turned his head and asked, "This is your sister, right?" Handsome. ”

Hai Lao's surname is Hai, and he is the youngest of his peers, but he has a very high rank in the village.

He is only twenty-seven years old this year, has been married for ten years, and has four or five children.

When Ao Jing heard his brother's introduction, he almost froze.

She knew that the fishing village got married quite early, as if it was because the boys in the family had to go to sea with their elders when they were teenagers. And the danger of going to sea is very great, and no one can say whether they can come back this time, so they got married early just to leave incense.

Hai Lao's daughter-in-law is five years older than him, and she looks much older, not like a couple.

His daughter-in-law is not in good health, she is still wearing two clothes on such a hot day, and she is too thin, but her belly is a little protruding.

Ao Jing subconsciously glanced at it, and said in his heart, is this pregnant again?
