Chapter 50: Limelight!
Xu Yan said, "Well, how much money can I get this time?" ”
"Never." Su Ming looked at him. "Desperate for money?"
"I wanted to find a long-term livelihood for my parents. The fishing season is only a few months, and the average boatman is not paid much and is very hard. Xu Yan said: "I've been back to play for a long time. I was really tired after this trip. ”
"The main reason is the boat." Su Ming shrugged. If it were a big fishing boat, it wouldn't be that hard.
Their fishing boats are very comfortable by the sea, but as they travel away from the sea, they encounter a constant negative tropical high pressure that is either heavy rain or extreme heat. In addition, the conditions in Shanghai are not good, which is too troublesome.
Liu Bei and Li Qiang, who take a boat to fish every day, can't bear it, that is to say, Su Ming and Xu Yan's bodies are far stronger than ordinary people, otherwise they can't carry it.
Faced with bad sea conditions, Su Ming and his family are on a fishing boat. It's like a roller coaster ride all day.
Xu Yan finished another can of drink. Su Ming took the rest of the drinks, opened them all, and handed Xu Yan another can.
"Is this trip enough for us to sail?" Xu Yan said with a smile.
"That should be enough." Su Ming smiled and said, "Don't you want to find a life for your parents and buy a sailboat?" ”
"I don't think it's bad for money after the fishing season is over this year. Then open a small supermarket for your parents, or buy them a fishing boat. Xu Yan said, "Buy a small fishing boat, they can go out and pick up work by themselves." ”
The hill town has many commercial fishing boats and sampans, which mainly welcome tourists to nearby islands or fish on fishing rows.
"Have you ever thought about buying a fish steak?" "When I go back, I'll ask if I can buy a fish steak." I also thought about what kind of life I arranged for my parents, but my father was honest and not good at dealing with people. "You can only make a little money from the whole fish steak. That's enough to make ends meet.
At the very least, it's easier to manage fish steaks in my hometown than it is to grow peppers.
Xu Yan thought for a while and nodded: "It's not bad to manage fish steaks." ”
A pot of boiled beef with potatoes, three cans of drinks, and a pot of rice can be said to be full.
Xu Yan was really tired and fell asleep soon after lying in bed.
Su Ming took his phone, opened Luna's photo, and looked at it.
The waves are rippling, and the fishing boat is still rocking with stabilizers.
Sue had become acquainted with the rocking and rocking of the fishing boat in the morning, and fell asleep.
I woke up after five o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Yan was still sleeping. Su Ming looked at him, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, got up and went to the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth... Then change into clean clothes.
Xu Yan also woke up and rubbed his eyes: "What time is it?" ”
"Five twenty o'clock."
Xu Yan stood up and stretched hard. When he saw Su Ming go out, he put on his clothes, washed his clothes, and came out.
"How many fish are there, for sure? We're not done yet. Seeing the busy fishing boats in the distance, Xu Yan couldn't help but complain.
The fish has been caught since the morning, and now.
"Check it out." Su Ming started the fishing boat, turned the steering wheel, and pushed. Throttle stick.
The fishing boat tilted towards the purse seine net.
"How many fish?" Xu Yan shouted loudly.
"Not much." Zhao Tian replied excitedly, "Our fishing boat is full. ”
Two fishing boats, four freezers, many of which are good goods. Trash fish like Shajian were sent to Luo Laosi's fishing boat.
Otherwise, their fishing boats are full.
Since then, more than 100 tonnes have been caught in this net, and it is estimated that more than 120 tonnes are in the net.
Xu Yan looked at Su Ming and said, "Let me go fishing." ”
Su Ming brought the fishing boat close to the rope ladder in Xinhai, and Xu Yan climbed the rope ladder.
The Shinkai had only one fish tank, which was already full, with only a small gap.
Rocket squid caught in the fish compartment on the other side of the ship are stacked haphazardly. Now, it has been rearranged and stacked neatly to make room. There is a fish tank on the Lixia River that is used to store tuna, grouper, turtles and other expensive fish. The fuel tank is full.
More than half of the fish are also collected in the last tank of the calendar.
If Luo Laosi's fishing boat hadn't come, the net wouldn't have been loaded today.
Xu Yan walked to the fishing boat, saw Zhao Tian's old face, and smiled crookedly: "When will you go back?" ”
"Fill the fishing boat with water and go back," Mr. Xu said.
There are some boatmen resting on the new sea boat. Zhao Tian went to ask them to help pump diesel.
"Su Ming," Xu Yan shouted as he raised his tubing.
"Put it down."
Su Ming grabbed the tubing that Xu Yan had fallen.
This tubing has a valve. Pour the diesel fuel into the pipe, open the valve siphon
However, it is particularly cumbersome to fill up a fishing boat.
It took more than an hour to refuel.
"Don't go back, be safe," Mr. Zhao said.
Su Ming smiled, made an OK gesture, and said, "When the net is closed, you will drive at full speed." There are too many fish in the warehouse. It's safe to get back in the bag early. ”
"Don't give up that fuel money," Xu Yan also warned.
"Okay, don't worry."
The sea trip did not go well at first. I hope the road back is smooth.
The refrigeration equipment for Zhao Tian's two fishing boats and two refrigerators appears to be second-hand. At the speed of Zhao Tian's fishing boat, it will take several days to return from Nansha to Zhapu.
"When the nets are recovered, we will go all out to get them back." Zhao Tian added.
"Be safe on the way back." Su Ming's father came out and shouted.
"Do you and Uncle Zhou want to go back with us?" Su Ming asked.
"Forget it. Your boat is small and bumpy. Let's go back on a fishing boat. ”
Xu Yan returned to the fishing boat and looked at Zhao Tian. Dad waved to them.
Su Min did the same and followed the fishing boat into the water.
Xu Yan saw that Su Ming was about to leave, so he said, "Don't you leave without dinner?" ”
"I'll do some later." Su Min said, "You ate squid. Have you eaten mustard? ”
"Blanch the soy sauce water." Xu Yan raised his eyebrows.
"No mustard?"
"I forgot."
"You were on the boat. Take some down. ”
"I'll be back in two days, please bear with me. Why don't you go back and get it now? Xu Yan stretched his waist, took out his mobile phone, connected to the fishing boat's Bluetooth, and then turned the fishing boat's voice to the maximum: "What song to listen to?" ”
"Whatever."
Xu Yan turned on the player and sang a song "Free as the Wind". To the music, two people howled and cried: I am as free as the wind, as if your tenderness is irretrievable, you pushed away my outstretched hands
Singing and singing, the two of them went out of tune together, and laughed out loud after hahaha.
When the sun sets over the sea, the fishing boat makes a long trajectory on the undulating sea at a cruising speed of about 20 knots.
Su Ming drove. Xu Yan came to the back deck with a folding recliner, lay down relaxed, and admired the burning clouds in the sky: "Far away. ”
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Xu Yan laughed nervously. "He used to yell at you."
", madman."
The next morning, in the northern Spratlys, Su Ming spotted an oil tanker at sea and filled the fishing boat with oil.
Xu Yan got up early and cooked one serving of fish porridge and two servings of rocket squid.
"Are you going to Sanya for two days?" Su Ming asked.
"What's there to do in Sanya? I want to go back early. Xu Yan shook his head.
"You're a single dog, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled. "I know you want to go to Sanya."
"I really don't want to go." Xu said to Su Ming. His mouth moved a few times, but he didn't know what he was muttering.
"Luna is coming to play on National Day, and I want to buy her a gift." Su Ming said, "Please come with me and help me make a reference." ”
"Uh...... Good. Xu Yan nodded and glanced at Su Ming. What..."
"What?"
Xu Yan was about to speak, but stopped.
Looking at Su Ming, Xu Yan felt a little guilty: "It's nothing. ”
"!"
Su Ming knew Xu Yan's thoughts, and he had already let go. He despised him harshly: "I will not interfere in Suna's affairs. ”
Xu Yan felt guilty and laughed. He didn't dare to look at Su Ming. After a while, the boiled squid in white water is cooked. Xu Yan took out the slices and poured some soy sauce for Su Ming: "What does Xin Xin like?" ”
Looking at Xu Yan's cheeky smile, Su Ming's scalp was numb, and he said, "Fishing rod." ”
"What?" Xu Yan's brain suddenly dropped.
I said...... Suna loves fishing rods. ”
Xu Yan's face twitched slightly: "Fishing rods don't count." ”
"Money." Su Ming looked at Xu Yan and said with a smile, "Suna is a money-hungry person. ”
"I'm serious about you."
"How do I know what she likes?" Su Ming shrugged
"How can you be a big brother?" Xu Yan was angry.
Su Ming was also embarrassed. He really didn't know what Suna liked.
After living together for a few months, Suna did not buy clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes, etc. After he started fishing, he fell in love with fishing rods. Buy a fishing rod as soon as you have money.
Su Ming ate a piece of squid and said, "Don't call Suna's maiden name in front of me in the future, I can hear goosebumps." ”
"I shouted, Shin Shin, Shin Shin...... It's so nice. ”
"Go back and take the big knife?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows and said.
Xu Yan looked disdainful: "I'm such a serious person, you asked me to follow you to the big sword, it's dirty." ”
Su Ming didn't bother to answer him: "You should pay attention when you speak in the future, you are no longer in the Jiangnan Fleet, don't eat abalone and order a boxed lunch all day long, be civilized and polite......"
"That's enough."
Su Ming smiled, looked at Xu Yan, raised his eyebrows, and moved a few times: "When I go back, I will find Suna and tell you the story of you and Zhao Tian going out to eat abalone." ”
"I ...... We went out to eat real abalone. This is the real abalone, not the fake. Xu Yan remembered the previous show-off in front of Su Ming, and Zhao Tian was an old master who was disrespectful and boastful, and his scalp was numb: "Let's go out to eat abalone, I'll take the bag and bring you back." ”
The people on the Jiangnan fishing boat understand. Except for a few who are really not picky, most are talkative.
After all, it is a regular Jiangnan fishery company, and the recruitment is very strict. Not everyone wants to
Xu Yan asked Su Ming to look at her scalp with strong disdain. She used to say hello, but now she's dead in society.
Xu Yan glanced at Su Ming and lowered his head.
I used to say hello, but I didn't get it. Second, Xu Yan didn't expect to see Su Ming's sister for so many years. At first glance
After eating, Xu Yan sighed. What's wrong
This is good.
Su Ming and Su Ming were equal before, right? A little shorter than Su Ming.
Now, I can barely raise my head in front of Su Ming. Such a big handle was pinched to death by Su Ming.
"Do you think Suna will like me?" Xu Yan asked.
"It's hard to say." Su Ming pulled his face. "Don't ask me about that. If I don't interfere, I'll tolerate you the most. ”
Xu Yan's face twitched slightly: "We have a lifelong friendship, two years in Jiangnan, don't Lin Sigao, I fell into the sea, you saved me." Three years in the south of the Yangtze River, New Zealand fishing grounds... I remember all of them, but if it weren't for you, I would have died several times. As for our relationship, I should have promised each other, but I'm not a woman, and you're not interested in a man. Xu Yan said, look at Su Ming's handsome face
He quickly stopped his gibberish and said, "You're my best friend, brother. Don't worry, I'm your best friend too. Brothers. Our relationship is even closer than our own brothers. It's true. ”
"There's talk, there's fart."
"I like your sister." Xu Yan decided to make it clear, but when he said it, he felt that it was not right. He hurriedly said, "I like Suna. You've seen it. My sister has seen ...... But your sister ...... Suna, I think she's a little crazy. How can I say now that she is also a handsome young man, with a good figure, full of muscle mass, I am so handsome......"
Su Min took a deep breath. "Go on."
Xu Yan suddenly wanted to drink. He was a little distressed: "I like your sister, but your sister treats me like a brother." You should see that too. ”
Indeed, Su Ming's face twitched a few times.
Suna treats Xu Yan as her older brother. The way Suna looked at Xu Yan was not the look of her boyfriend and girlfriend.
"I don't look bad either. Without your handsome looks, I'm just a little less. Xu Yan looked at Su Ming and said, "Your sister ......"
"Your sister's~!"
"I mean, Suna's eyes are bad."
"Go away. Don't talk about it. Eat it. ”
Xu Yan sighed. After eating, he pulled Su Ming, who was about to sleep, and asked, "What gift are you going to Sanya to buy for your girlfriend?" ”
"Buy a bracelet, necklace, earrings, and other accessories." Su Ming said, "I don't know what gift to give. ”
Xu Yan listened to Su Ming's words and nodded thoughtfully: "It is said on the Internet that women like bags, and I will send a bag to Suna, what do you think?" ”
"Your relationship hasn't reached that point yet." Su Ming was too annoying to talk to Xu Yan.
"My brother gave my sister a gift?"
"Whatever you want. I'm going back to sleep. ”
"Wait."
"What's wrong?"
"I gave your sister a gift. Do you have to give my sister a copy too? Xu Yan said, "Otherwise, it will make me feel bad." ”
"You have a bad heart."
Su Ming and Xu Yan took turns sailing from the western part of Nansha to Sanya, 880 nautical miles, or more than 1,600 kilometers.
The fuel consumption is too high at full power, so I can only cruise.
From the evening of the 22nd, it was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening of the 24th to Sanya.
After landing, Su Ming felt dizzy on the ground and wobbly when walking on the concrete floor.
Xu Yan also walked a strange path.
They smiled at each other with their luggage, found a nearby hotel, opened two rooms and took a comfortable hot shower.
Su Ming wants to make a video call to Luna. After looking at her messy hair in the mirror, she sent a message to Luna: "We're in Sanya, are you busy?" ”
Luna then makes a video call, and Su Ming picks up the phone.
In the photo, Luna is wearing light pink pajamas with cute cheeks.
The two looked at each other through the video, not knowing what to say for a while.
Before using a satellite phone, there were a lot of topics to talk about between the two, but when they saw someone, they didn't know what to say.
"The weather in Jiangnan is cooler," Mr. Su said.
Luna shook her head. "No, it's still hot. Are you in a hotel in Sanya? ”
Su Ming let out a "hmm" and turned the camera of his mobile phone: "I just arrived, I came to the hotel to take a bath, have you had dinner?" ”
"Yes. What about you? ”
"Not yet. Go out to eat later. ”
After a while, Luna said shyly, "I miss you." ”
Su Ming smiled and said, "Me too." ”
"I have a holiday on the 29th. Did you leave the fishing boat first? ”
Su Ming nodded: "The fishing boat is also back, but it runs very slowly." ”
Luna says "Oh", then says, "Is there anything you have to do when you get back?" ”
"Nothing."
"Let's come to Jiangnan to play."
Su Ming nodded: "Okay." ”
Luna's face was flushed and a little shy. She looked down and smiled.
Su Mingzheng said, "I won't be able to get to the mountain city until tomorrow night. I need to go home and clean up. Day after tomorrow. ”。 There was a knock on the door.
"Okay." Luna nodded. "Did Xu Yan find you?"
"He's knocking on the door. He should be called out to eat. ”
"Go eat and call me when you get back."
"Okay. I went out to eat. ”
Xu Yan shouted outside, "What are you doing?" Hurry up. ”
"We're here." Su Ming hung up the phone and went to open the door.
"When I went out to eat, I was hungry and my chest was close to my back." Xu Yan complained, "I ate instant noodles at noon. You're not hungry. ”
"Go, go, you're reincarnated like a hungry ghost every day."
I went outside and found a restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and asked for a few bottles of drinks.
Xu Yan took the drink, opened it and handed Su Ming a bottle.
Su Ming lifted the bottle, touched Xu Yan, then took a big sip, then picked up the chopsticks and put the peanuts in his mouth: "Comfortable." ”
Xu Yan took a long breath and said, "I feel very tired when I come back, what about you?" ”
"Again," Su Min said.
All scuba diving operations led to scuba diving, and Su Ming and Xu Yan repeatedly performed scuba diving. I didn't feel it at the time, but then I felt sick.
Su Ming's condition was much better, mainly because of fatigue and some barotrauma.
Xu Yan's condition is more serious, but not a big problem. After a few days of rest on the shore, he can fully recover.
After another sip of wine, Su Ming stretched his waist and felt that his bones seemed to be comfortable.
After returning to the hotel after eating, Su Ming continues to video call with Luna and stays up all night.
The next day, Su Ming wanted to sleep in, but Xu Yan called after eight o'clock and asked Su Ming to go out.
After packing up and leaving the room, I took a taxi to a nearby jewelry store.
Su Ming remembered that Luna didn't seem to have pierced ears. After walking around the shops, she settled on a platinum clavicle chain set with heart-shaped diamonds. Then I chose a white gold bracelet
