"Seeing her smile made me feel much more at ease. The weather was changing a lot today, and they still hadn't come back. I didn't feel at ease until I saw them."
Liu Xiaohua looked outside; it looked like it was about to rain heavily, and the sea was definitely not calm.
I was initially very worried, but now I feel much more at ease.
They depended on the sea for their livelihood and always believed in the sea god.
Every time they see a change in the weather, every fisherman prays to Mazu in his heart that his boat will return safely.
As Su Luo ate the noodles, her heart and stomach were warmed.
She slowly recounted what had happened to her mother and sister-in-law.
Su Tiantian looked at her grandmother and aunt and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Through her interactions, she saw a less-than-ideal fate, perhaps this was her grandmother's original destiny, but with her dragon's blessing, it was bound to turn the tide!
Shipwrecks are the thing fishermen fear and worry about the most, but also the thing they are most helpless about.
Experienced captains will return home before the storm arrives, but there are exceptions.
Grandpa Su Dahai was trapped on the turbulent sea, and the three of them could not return. But Su Tiantian came, and the sea could not take their lives away.
Su Tiantian's dragon soul appeared in the sea and found the small boat that was drifting on the surface.
The torrential rain and fierce winds were ravaging everything on the sea, and the three men and their father were filled with fear.
"It's all Dad's fault, Dad shouldn't have been greedy!"
Su Dahai was filled with despair. Today, the Air Force was facing a change in weather, and he had made the wrong decision to return instead of returning.
If you can weather the storm, you will surely reap the rewards.
In that one moment of regret, he was filled with remorse.
No amount of gain is as important as life. Countless examples from our predecessors are bloody and tragic, yet he was so foolish as to forget them.
"Dad, stop talking, this is our fate!"
The eldest son, Su Chenggong, wiped the rain from his face. He had resigned himself to his fate, but he was still unwilling to accept it.
"Dad, brother, let's hold on a little longer, we'll definitely be able to go home."
The second son, Su Chengguo, cried out that his youngest son was only three years old and he couldn't die.
But human power appears incredibly insignificant in the face of nature.
The strong wind nearly capsized the fishing boat. The veins on their arms, which were gripping the ropes, bulged as they struggled to control the sails and steer the boat, hoping to seize any chance of turning the tide.
At this critical moment, something seemed to surge within the thunderclouds in the sky.
Their ship seemed to have been bumped by something.
Soon, the thunderclouds dissipated, the storm subsided, and the sea gradually returned to calm. Only the three men, father and sons, who had experienced such a harrowing ordeal, remained in shock for a long time.
"Dad, was that... Little Dragon just now?"
Su Chengguo spoke in a trembling voice. On the previously dark and turbulent sea, he seemed to have seen a small white dragon surging, and then their ship stabilized.
"It was the Dragon King who protected us."
Su Dahai's voice was also trembling.
"Dad, what do we do now?"
Su Chenggong asked in a trembling voice.
The sea calmed down, but their hearts were far from at peace.
"Go home, go home."
Su Dahai immediately made a decision. The dragon had mercifully saved them, and they should be grateful. The storm had only temporarily subsided, and judging from the weather, there would definitely be heavy rain today.
If they're still being greedy and not going home now, they might not be so lucky next time.
Exhausted, the father and his two sons quickly took control of the direction and headed home.
...
Meanwhile, in the fishing village, many fishermen who had returned from the sea were thankful that they had come back.
At this point, any greedy party will likely end up with a bad outcome.
"The three Su family members haven't returned yet. With this weather, something bad is probably going to happen."
After getting ashore, they greeted each other and discovered that the boat belonging to the Su family father and his two sons had not yet returned, causing many to shake their heads and sigh.
Shipwrecks are common, and each one is a cause for lamentation, yet they still occur from time to time.
"I heard that the youngest daughter of the Su family, Su Luo, was sent back home right after giving birth. I guess she brought bad luck back with her. Liu Xiaohua was worried about her daughter, so she brought bad luck upon herself. If something really happens, Su Luo could die eight hundred times over and it wouldn't be enough to atone for her sins!"
A plump woman spoke as she carried her fish, drawing sighs of admiration from the onlookers.
"Oh my god, will she bring bad luck to our whole village?! No wonder our harvest was so small today, it turns out the jinx is back!"
A woman, dissatisfied with the low harvest that day, dared not blame the man, so she took the opportunity to blame Su Luo and her daughter.
"Sigh, this matter is hard to explain. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come back at this time. Let's not say too much."
"If you didn't get a good harvest, that's your own bad luck. Why blame Su Luo? Every family has a daughter. Who can guarantee that their daughter will never come back to her parents' home?"
One woman, unable to bear it any longer, couldn't help but speak up and say a few words of justice.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and seeing that the rain was getting heavier, they each picked up their buckets and ran home.
At this moment, Liu Xiaohua returned the child to Su Luo and began to look outside.
"The weather changes quickly. Everyone's back now, so I'll go pick them up. You guys wait at home."
Because of Su Luo's account of what happened, I was delayed in going to the shore to meet the boat.
Everyone had returned home, and Liu Xiaohua couldn't wait any longer, so she immediately grabbed her raincoat and straw hat and went out.
Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei nodded, and then went to the kitchen to boil ginger water.
Liu Xiaohua followed the road to the coast, asking everyone she met if they had seen her family.
Everyone said they didn't see it.
Liu Xiaohua felt uneasy. Logically, they should have returned by now. How could she not have seen them?
The sea was dark, and her heart was pounding.
When I reached the shore, I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears.
"Ocean, our success, don't scare me..."
Liu Xiaohua cried out.
Rows of boats were moored, but her family's boat was nowhere to be seen.
"Mom, we're here."
Just as Liu Xiaohua was about to break down, she heard her son's reply.
The heavy rain obscured visibility, so much so that Liu Xiaohua didn't see her own boat on the far side.
Liu Xiaohua rushed over and found her son and husband still pulling the fishing net. She yelled angrily, "What time is it and you're still pulling that stupid net? Do you know how worried I was!"
"Mom, come help! It's so heavy. Dad vaguely saw a patch of yellow earlier, so it's probably a good catch."
Su Chenggong said excitedly, "Everyone says that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune, and it turns out that it's true. The Air Force had already given up hope, and it's a great stroke of luck that they were able to come back alive."
Unexpectedly, the net they were dragging became heavier and heavier. When they reached the shore, they saw a patch of yellow, which thrilled them.
Based on his experience, he felt it was a net full of big yellow croakers. Just thinking about the big yellow croakers made him so excited that he felt like he was going to make a fortune!
Liu Xiaohua went aboard to help, and the family of four worked together to pull up the fishing net, which weighed several hundred kilograms. However, the net had a hole, and many yellow croakers fell back into the sea and disappeared.
The large, bright yellow croakers all weigh over a pound each, with some even estimated to weigh three pounds.
"My goodness, I've never seen so many big yellow croakers!" Liu Xiaohua exclaimed. What incredible luck to catch so many big yellow croakers, while not a single other small fish could be seen.
