Chapter 517 Come Back Early

When the couple arrived at the dock, they saw a large ship approaching in the sea in the distance.

That's our own fishing boat.

Jiang Xia: "Dad is back. Take me to see the fish cages next time. We won't go out to sea today. Dad probably brought back a batch of dried fish."

Zhou Chenglei nodded: "Well, I'll go home with you first, and then drive the tractor over."

When his father came back, he would bring back a batch of dried fish, at least 10,000 kilograms. He had to unload the goods, so he had no time to go out to sea.

"good."

Large ships don't dock that quickly.

Zhou Chenglei brought Jiang Xia here on a motorcycle, and he also drove her back quickly on the motorcycle.

With the help of Zhou Chenglei, Jiang Xia got on the motorcycle and watched the boats on the sea approaching from afar.

The Fisherman's Wharf where their village is located is not as big as the one in the city. According to what is written in the book, the wharf will be expanded in a few years.

With the acceleration of economic development, people who own boats are becoming richer and richer. They exchange small boats for big boats, and big boats for ocean-going boats. When they can pay for goods, people who have no money to buy boats also take out loans to buy them. More and more people are buying fishing boats. Now this wharf can no longer meet the needs of fishermen from more than a dozen villages in the production team.

After all, a big ship is not like a small wooden boat that can dock anywhere.

Also, the container ship that Jiangxia ordered cannot dock at this port, and cannot do so. It must dock at a designated port.

Zhou Chenglei sent Jiang Xia home.

When Zhou's mother saw them coming back, she was surprised and asked, "Weren't you going out to sea to check on the fish cages? Why are you back?"

Jiang Xia held Zhou Chenglei's arm, got out of the car carefully and said with a smile: "Dad is back."

Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment: "Your father is back so soon? Didn't he say that he would be back a little longer this time, in mid-to-late June?"

Could it be that something happened? When Zhou's father went out to sea, he said that he would be away for a longer time this time and would not be back until the end of June, because it was summer and there were many typhoons, and he didn't know how much time he would have to go out to sea.

Moreover, Jiangxia's child will be born in July, and there are three grandchildren to take care of. Zhou's father is afraid that he will be too busy at home, so he plans not to go out to sea in July.

So this time he planned to go out to sea for more than two months, and not return home until mid-June to wait for his grandson to be born.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe he made some money!"

Zhou's mother smiled and said, "That must be it."

Zhou Chenglei went to the backyard and drove the tractor to the dock.

Zhou Chenglei arrived at the dock and the ship had just docked.

He got on the boat, and Zhou's father asked cheerfully, "How did you know I was back?"

Zhou Chenglei: "I was just about to go out to sea to check on the cages when I saw the big ship coming back."

Father Zhou smiled and said, "You came just in time. Look what good things I brought back!"

Father Zhou opened the living cabin and said, "Look what's inside."

Zhou Chenglei squatted down and looked out. The light was a little dim, but he could still vaguely see the pearl oysters in the living cabin. He looked up at Zhou's father and asked, "Where did they come from? Are they all alive?"

"Nonsense! Of course they are alive! Why would I bring them back if they are not alive? Go home and get some hanging nets, bring some tools, and go out to sea in a small boat. Let's put these things in the sea first."

This was the man whose ship Zhou's father had saved at sea, and they sold it to him cheaply.

The people on that boat had gone out to sea to catch this stuff to sell in the waters of a certain island, but on the way back the boat broke down, and it was raining, with strong winds and waves on the sea. They drifted in the sea for several hours before they met their boat. They almost thought they could not go back, but it was Zhou's father and his men who braved the wind and waves to save them, and towed their boat back to the dock, preventing them from losing both their people and their money.

The process was quite thrilling. After all, they were rescuing people in the wind and waves, and the size difference between the two ships was too big. Only the pilot knew how dangerous it was to climb from the small boat to the big ship in the strong wind and waves. If you were not careful, you might fall into the sea, or be squeezed by the two ships at the same time.

If we don't rescue them onto the big ship and just tow their boat back, their small boat will easily capsize.

In short, Zhou's father and his group were terrified when they were rescuing people, fearing that something might happen.

Fortunately, they were rescued safely in the end.

Good people will be rewarded. Several people said that they would sell all the pearl shells they caught in the sea to him in the future.

They had originally intended to give these pearl shells to Zhou's father, but they were bought with the lives of several people, so how could Zhou's father have the nerve to take them back, so he just gave them the money.

Zhou Chenglei looked at the dried fish on the boat. This time there were more dried fish than last time, so he said, "Dad, go get some people to move the dried fish off the boat and bring them home. I'll go down to the live hold and fish out the pearl oysters first."

Father Zhou nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will go and ask for help after you have fished out all the pearl shells."

No one knew that they were raising pearl oysters. When they asked people to move the dried fish onto the boat, if someone saw them, the matter would no longer be concealed.

Father Zhou and Zhou Yongguo first moved the dried fish off the boat.

Zhou Chenglei went down into the living cabin and scooped up all the pearl oysters.

Most of these pearl snails are still small and have not grown up yet.

There are also some mature ones, but I don’t know if they have pearls.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Zhou Chenglei fished them all out and put them in a snakeskin bag, which was half full. There were probably more than a hundred or two hundred of them.

After Zhou Chenglei finished catching the pearl oysters, Zhou's father went to ask for help.

Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Yongguo worked together to load the dried fish off the boat. After filling up a tractor, he pulled it back first and also took back the seafood that Zhou's father had brought back.

When he got home, he said to Jiang Xia and Zhou's mother, "I went out to sea. Dad brought back half a bag of pearl shells. I'm going to raise them."

Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment: "Should we find one or two more people to go out to sea together?"

"Well, I'm going out to sea with Yongguk."

"Okay! Then you be careful. If you can't finish it this afternoon, just put the pearl oysters in the water first and continue tomorrow. Don't come back so late, go home early for dinner." Jiang Xia reminded worriedly.

"Okay." Zhou Chenglei responded.

After unloading a tractor full of dried fish, he drove the tractor to the dock, taking some hanging nets that Zhou's mother had woven earlier.

The whole afternoon was spent moving dried fish. Jiang Xia couldn't help, so he went upstairs to read a book and do some translation.

She worked until about 4:30, then went downstairs to start cooking with Zhou's mother.

At around five o'clock, Zhou Chengsen came back with Zhou Ying.

Zhou's mother asked, "Where's Xiaoxian? Isn't tomorrow May Day? Isn't she coming back? Or is she back at the Li family?"

"No, she said she had to prepare for class, and a colleague asked her to go shopping and see a movie in the city, so she won't be back." Zhou Chengsen parked his bicycle and started to help move the dried fish.

Zhou's mother thought that her second daughter-in-law had not come back with her second son for a long time. Her son often brought his daughter back to live after get off work in the afternoon, but his second daughter-in-law had never come back.

Every time she asked her second son, he would say, "Yes, we went back to the Li family."

"Did you have a fight with Xiaoxian? She hardly came back after Qingming Festival."

"No, she's a grown-up, she can go wherever she likes."

Mother Zhou wanted to say something more, but she didn’t know if it would be right to say too much.

Forget it! Let the couple solve their own problems!
