After the transaction with Boss Zeng was completed, the Rising Sun set sail.
There was no trawling today; we were still diving to catch sea urchins.
Feng Ye and A Can each went down three times, bringing back a total of about 250 jin of sea urchins.
As for Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing, they were only allowed to go down twice, and they weighed about 140 jin (70 catties).
This sea area is truly a treasure trove; there are so many sea urchins that it's unbelievable. We've been catching them for so long, and we still haven't finished.
Although it's not as frequent as it was at the beginning, it can still yield good results.
When we got back to Dongtou Village Wharf, it was already around 5 p.m.
As soon as the boat docked, a figure darted out from the pier and said, "Throw the mooring rope over here, I'll tie it for you."
"Brother Wen, why are you still at home? Haven't you gone out to sea?"
Feng Ye looked closely and realized it was Xiao Guowen. He asked in surprise.
The Harvest set sail yesterday afternoon, and Xiao Guowen was quite surprised that he didn't go with it.
"Isn't that obvious? I'm right here, so they definitely haven't gone out to sea."
Xiao Guowen replied irritably.
"Oh, that makes sense."
Feng Ye scratched his head, realizing he had asked a stupid question, and threw the cable over.
Xiao Guowen picked up the rope that had been thrown ashore and skillfully tied it to a wooden stake on the bank, securing the Rising Sun boat firmly before jumping onto the ship.
Just then, Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing came out carrying baskets full of sea urchins.
Xiao Guowen greeted them, then peeked out and exclaimed in surprise, "So many sea urchins?"
"Not much, less than 400 jin."
Ah-chan got out of the driver's seat and answered triumphantly.
Xiao Guowen's eyes widened: "Isn't that a lot?"
"It's just a normal harvest, nothing to make a fuss about."
Feng Ye patted him on the shoulder, turned around and went into the cabin to move cargo.
Xiao Guowen quickly followed to help: "I heard you've been catching sea urchins lately?"
"Well, I accidentally discovered that there were quite a few sea urchins on the seabed in the area where I was working. I happened to have diving equipment, so I just caught them."
"You guys are really lucky. Last time it was lobster and abalone, and this time you've run into sea urchin."
Xiao Guowen sighed, while deftly helping to move the sea urchin baskets.
Feng Ye laughed and said, "Hehe, ever since your brother tricked me into falling into the sea, my luck has been pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guowen's lips twitched slightly. He carefully recalled the events of the past few months, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Shouldn't you thank my brother properly?"
"really."
Feng Ye smiled and nodded, "How about I build him a shrine and enshrine him?"
"Get lost, I'd rather you be worshipped like a goddess..."
After joking around for a while, Feng Ye changed the subject and asked, "Tell me what's going on with you? Why didn't you go to sea with the Harvest? Are you trying to slack off?"
Xiao Guowen said with a wry smile, "How could that be? Even if I wanted to slack off, my father would never allow it!"
"What happened?"
"It's all because of that incident where my wife and kids were bullied..."
"Wasn't it resolved?"
Feng Ye frowned.
Has something else gone wrong?
A few days ago, Xiao Guowen's two children stole a few oranges from a family because they were greedy, and they were caught red-handed.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and the kid was just a simple child who didn't understand anything. A few words of criticism would have sufficed.
Unfortunately, Xiao Guowen's family had some old grudges with that family.
Now, old and new grudges surged up in his heart, and he grabbed Xiao Guowen's children and slapped them several times, making the children cry loudly and be frightened.
At that time, only Sister Wen was at home, but she was also a woman who refused to be taken advantage of and was very fierce.
When she found out, she took a machete and chopped down all of that family's orange trees.
The family naturally refused and went to their door to demand an explanation.
Sister-in-law Wen was also tough; she stood at the door with a knife in her hand, threatening to chop anyone who dared to come forward.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and other villagers came out to try to break up the fight.
After some mediation, both sides compromised.
Sister-in-law Wen paid some money, and the man who hit Xiao Guowen apologized and washed the faces of Xiao Guowen's children.
There's a saying in this area: if you're frightened by someone, go find that person and wash your face; that way you won't have nightmares.
Feng Ye was fishing in the South China Sea at the time and only found out about it after he returned, but by then the situation had already calmed down.
"It's been resolved, but after that incident, my dad and I both felt that there should still be a man at home, so that if any emergencies occur again, a woman wouldn't have to be the one in charge."
"So you were allowed to stay?"
"Um."
Xiao Guowen nodded, then said helplessly, "I originally wanted my father to stay, but he refused, saying that he was still able to work and could work for a few more years. I couldn't persuade him otherwise, so I had no choice but to stay."
"So what are you planning to do next? You can't just stay at home doing nothing like before, can you?"
"That's why I came to find you."
"What do you mean? If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."
Feng Ye was somewhat puzzled, not understanding Xiao Guowen's purpose in coming.
Xiao Guowen didn't say it aloud, but instead said, "Aye, invite Acan over for dinner tonight. We haven't gotten together in a long time, and I'll tell you about my plans then."
"good."
Feng Ye nodded, wondering what he was really up to.
However, although I was curious, I didn't ask any further questions.
