Chapter 52: My Wife's Worry (Please Collect and Vote)
When Liang Ziqiang returned home, he saw his mother sitting under a tree, sighing constantly.
Hearing the footsteps, the mother stood up to see. When she saw her second son, her first reaction was to lift her sleeves and wipe her eyes! These days, she ran to the door every day hoping that Liang Ziqiang would come back, but no miracle happened.
As the days went by, she realized that hope was disappearing little by little, and there would probably be no more miracles.
When her son really appeared before her eyes, she couldn't believe it. She thought she had gone insane because of talking too much, so she wiped her eyes vigorously.
When Liang Ziqiang saw this scene, his heart ached, just like the feeling he had when he first saw his father on the sea.
"What the hell are you doing? You can't even recognize your own son?!"
Seeing his wife looking dumbfounded, Liang's father said to her.
Liang Ziqiang quickly raised his voice and shouted to his mother: "Mom! I'm back!"
Liang's mother came to her senses and forced a smile onto her lips. However, before the smile lasted for half a second, she grabbed Liang Ziqiang's arm and started crying while sniffling.
"Where have you been, Aqiang? I was so worried. Why did you come back only today?"
Liang's mother cried as she spoke, and Liang Ziqiang wanted to persuade her, but the more he tried to persuade her, the more she couldn't stop.
Liang's mother's tears flowed down. Her sleeves were not enough, so she pulled up Liang Ziqiang's clothes and wiped them...
When she started crying, Lizhi started crying too. Later, even her sister-in-law Kuang Haixia wiped away her tears. Only her nephew Liang Xiaohai circled around them, clapping his hands and saying, "Hehe, this is fun!"
The eldest brother Liang Tiancheng and the younger brother Liang Zifeng were working at the back of the house. When they heard the noise, they ran to the front of the house.
Liang Tiancheng said excitedly: "It's great to be back! In the past three days, not only Dad, but also Ah Feng and I were looking for him at sea. The whole family was so anxious that we couldn't even eat!"
His younger brother Liang Zifeng was also very excited, but he pretended to be calm and advised everyone: "Don't cry, don't cry, this is obviously a good thing, second brother, this is a bright future, good times are coming!"
Liang Ziqiang was stunned. What the hell? What the hell?
Oh, now he remembered that he had been secretly reviewing for the exam in the middle of the night, and he seemed to be particularly fond of studying Chinese books.
I accidentally put what I learned into practice.
But it’s true, Liang Zifeng’s words really work in stopping crying.
The three women who were crying all stopped crying and looked at Liang Zifeng blankly: "What are you talking about? It's not spring yet, where are the willow flowers coming from?"
Father Liang rolled up his sleeves and walked over here:
"Are you secretly reading again? You get sleepy when you do serious work, but you are so excited to read those useless books!"
Seeing his father approaching, Liang Zifeng realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly turned around and slipped away to the back of the house.
The rest of the people began to surround Liang Zicheng and ask him questions.
Liang Ziqiang finally explained the entire course of the past five days to his family.
Of course, as for the version, it must be the "Scale Island" version.
Liang's mother was afraid that Liang Ziqiang would be hungry, so she quickly went to heat up the food. Normally speaking, it was not time for dinner. It was a little past lunch time, and it was still far from dinner time.
But Liang Ziqiang was really hungry.
He was just about to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, but his father grabbed him and said, "Why are you going to the kitchen? Cooking is not that fast! It's just right, let's burn some incense now!"
Before Liang Ziqiang could react, his father pulled him in front of the ancestral tablet and kowtowed several times...
My father is really persistent about this matter!
After perfunctorily answering his father's question, Liang Ziqiang quickly found several basins and buckets from home and stored the harvest brought back from the island in seawater while it was still fresh.
Including the chicken claw snails, although theoretically they can be preserved for several days without water, Liang Ziqiang did not want to do this experiment, so he took them out of the snakeskin bag and kept them in basins.
He now had two most urgent things in mind.
One is to borrow the boat from Lin Baixian's uncle's house, which is still parked on the nameless wild island. If it is washed away in the storm the day after tomorrow, the compensation will be a lot of money.
The second thing is that these valuable seafood in front of us can be kept for a period of time if they are kept in seawater, but they cannot be kept forever.
The best way is to act quickly and secure the profits.
One thing at a time. As for the broken boat, we must go to the wild island tomorrow and get it back.
After fixing the problem with the faulty ship, I will explore the channels of restaurants and try to sell these seafood and exchange them for cash within three or four days.
Liang Ziqiang decided to discuss with his father first how to get the broken-down boat back.
Before he could even open his mouth, his mother brought the food to him. His father quickly ate the rice in his bowl and said, "I'll eat a few bites quickly. I have to go to the village to borrow a boat in advance. How big is Ah Xian's uncle's boat? I can arrange which boat to borrow."
Liang Ziqiang didn't expect that his father had already considered this matter without him having to speak up, so he told him:
"It's only a little over half a meter longer than our old boat. It's half old, but much newer than ours. The engine and everything is fine. Bring some more diesel tomorrow and the boat will be able to sail.
If we could borrow the big boat from Uncle Rui's family, that boat could be used to guide the broken-down ship.
Of course, if we can borrow two boats, it will be even easier.”
Father Liang thought about it and finally decided:
"Two, maybe. Let's borrow the boats from Ruige and Jinsheng. With these two boats leading the way, we will definitely not go off the track."
As he put down the bowl, he went out to borrow a boat.
When he reached the door, he remembered something and turned back to Liang Ziqiang and said, "I only lend you the boat, not the person. When the time comes, I will drive Jinsheng's boat. How will you and Ah Xian cooperate?"
Liang's father's plan was obviously because he didn't want Zhong Yongrui and Cai Jinsheng to get involved and go to that nameless wild island with him.
The number of people is limited to Liang Ziqiang, Lin Baixian and him, and it depends on whether Lin Baixian can invite Lin's father.
The location of the island must not be made known to more people.
These considerations were completely consistent with Liang Ziqiang's ideas. He immediately replied:
"It's OK with the three of us driving the boat. Ah Xian and I will drive the big boat, and the other will drive the broken boat. It's all OK. We'll see tomorrow."
After everything was discussed, Liang's father ran to the village to find Zhong Yongrui and Jin Sheng.
Liang Ziqiang drank two full bowls of herbal tea. It was the first time he felt that herbal tea was so sweet. Although he had drunk enough coconut milk in the past two days and his body was no longer dehydrated, for some reason, his mouth just missed the taste of water or herbal tea.
Sitting in the room, Liang Ziqiang smelled the unpleasant odor on his body. The thought of it made him feel a little embarrassed.
During these days on the island, he was only thinking about surviving and hadn't taken a proper bath for five days! Realizing this, he couldn't sit still for a minute and immediately picked up two clean wooden buckets and went to the pool near the foot of the mountain to fetch water for a bath.
As I reached the pond, I saw a familiar figure holding a mallet and washing clothes with it.
"Aunt Yu, I'm doing the laundry!"
Recognizing his matchmaker Lu Hongyu, he put down the bucket and greeted her.
Lu Hongyu raised the mallet in her hand to the air and paused for a moment. She was surprised at first, then she became happy:
"You're finally back! Are you back today?"
"Just got back this afternoon." Liang Ziqiang briefly talked about his own affairs. He only said that the ship had some problems, but later things turned around and he came back. As for the details, he didn't elaborate, and it wouldn't be clear in a few words.
"I'm glad you came back safely!" Lu Hongyu said happily.
"By the way, I don't know who told me about your disappearance at sea when I was walking around Huagu Village. Yesterday, I went to my mother's house, and Miss Xiangbei specifically asked me if you had returned home safely."
"Ah? It got to her so quickly?" Liang Ziqiang was a little surprised.
"That's right. I saw that Xiangbei didn't look well, and her eyes were a little swollen. I don't know if she didn't sleep well or if she cried. Since you're back, you should tell her as soon as possible, so that the girl won't worry and be anxious all the time!"
Lu Hongyu suggested straightforwardly.
"That's true, I'll go there as soon as possible!" Hearing this, Liang Ziqiang also lost his composure.
It was still early, and I had to go to the island tomorrow. The only time I could spare was this afternoon.
If she could let Chen Xiangbei know she was safe sooner, she could sleep more peacefully.
Liang Ziqiang decided to pack up and go to Huagu Village right away...
