I Had a Home In 1982

  Chapter 86

With    shouts, they rushed to Laolongwan.

  Laolong Bay is not far from Tianya Island, about two kilometers or more, and it didn't take long to arrive when the wind was down.

  As the sky Wang Yi saw last night, today is a good day.

   In the morning, the sea breeze was still a little swaying. As the sun rose and the wind gradually fell, when they arrived at Laolong Bay, the sea breeze was already very small.

  The vast sea surface is blue in color, and the spring breeze blows from time to time, and the sea surface is slightly rippling.

   It was like a piece of blue silk was gently shaking by the gentle elder sister's jade hand.

  Laolong Bay is a bay with large reefs on the sea. The yellow-brown reefs rise from the bottom of the sea and emerge from the water, polished by the long-lasting wind and waves.

  There are seaweeds underwater, and seaweeds also grow on the reefs. Most of them are common kelp in the sea, floating calmly in the seawater.

   There are many fish that shuttle between the seaweeds, and only when they touch the seaweed will they sway with the seaweed.

  The ship broke down, and the men laughed and got ready to work.

  Take off your clothes, put on a rubber coat and put on goggles.

   Boldly changed his clothes and said to Wang Yi, "Mr. Wang, give us a gourd, one for each person."

   These gourds are also called scoops and buoys, and there are small eye net pockets on them specially for sea cucumbers.

   The gourds on the boat are quite big, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a gourd doll hidden inside.

  Wang Yi separated the gourd, leaving Wang Dongmei to stay on the boat with him, and the others jumped into the water dragging the gourd after warming up.

   They each took the gourd and swam to a place, the gourd was left on the sea, and the people plunged into the water.

  The sea water is very clear and pollution-free.

   This sea area is relatively shallow, and the sunlight penetrates the sea water, illuminating the seabed hazy.

  Wang Yi squatted on the bow and stared at the people underwater carefully.

  A person sneaks in the water like a big toad, finds a reef in the water, grabs the reef with his hands, and then just looks for sea cucumbers on it.

   Seeing this, Wang Yi took a deep breath.

   Really fierce, this is all based on lung capacity to fish for sea cucumbers!

  Wang Dongfeng was also on the boat. He was unlucky. After entering the water, he encountered several squid swimming out of a piece of kelp.

  The two sides fought each other, and the squid immediately turned into a jet fighter in panic.

  The sea around Wang Dongfeng became dark.

   He had to surface first to take a breath—it’s very dangerous to stay in the dark underwater, you don’t know if there will be a panicky squid in front of you, and a squid will accidentally wrap around a person’s face.

   It is well known that squid and octopus are mollusks that like to drill holes. When they reach the human face, they will use their tentacles to find holes, drill their mouths, and drill their nostrils, and people will soon suffocate!

  Wang Dongfeng floated up to find his big gourd and lay down on it. This is a tool for rest.

  Wang Dongmei is not playing on the boat, he is directing the overall situation: "Fengzi, you change, go up to ten meters in front of your right, I will watch over there."

  Wang Dongfang took a few breaths and asked Wang Yi, "Mr. Wang, won't you come down and play with water?"

  Wang Yisan smiled and said, "I don't have a rubber coat."

   "Wear a big beautiful brother."

   "I, I can't dive."

"I'll bring you!"

   "Where are you talking so much? Hurry up and do your job!"

  Wang Dongfeng laughed: "Mr. Wang is in a hurry, look at him in a hurry!"

   He dived back into the water, and after a while, people surfaced one after another. After they dived, their color was not good. The ruddy they had before disappeared, and they changed to blue-white or even gray-white, which looked quite scary.

  Wang Yi felt uncomfortable, it was only a few days after Qingming, it was really difficult to dive in just a rubber suit!

After    rest, they dived into the water intermittently, like frogs diving.

  Bold was the last one to emerge from the first wave.

   After he emerged, Wang Dongmei shouted, "Team Leader, how are you doing? How many goods are there?"

   "Huhu, work hard, so-so, with five ginsengs!" Boldly hugged the gourd and struggled to breathe.

   He had a small net pocket hanging around his neck. After resting, he fished out strips of brown cucumber-like sea cucumbers and put them into the small eye net pockets on the big gourd.

   Then he dived again.

  Wang Dongmei scolded: "Grass, the sea cucumbers don't know what happened in the past two years. They all ran away? Moved? Why is it so hard to find!"

   He introduced to Wang Yi again: "Mr. Wang, you don't know, when I first learned to make sea cucumbers, I was really good at making sea cucumbers. Once I dived and made 16 sea cucumbers in one breath!"

  Wang Yi exclaimed: "This harvest is good!"

"It's nothing," Wang Dongmei shook her head, "The secretary is really powerful. When he was still healthy, he always took the lead in making ginseng. He once stabbed fifty sea cucumbers in one go, and the story spread in the commune. "

   "And Big Brother Dongfang, he is worthy of being the seed of the branch secretary, and once got 44 ginseng!"

  Wang Yi is over.

   Even if he put the sea cucumbers together and let him hold his breath and pick them up one by one, he couldn't pick up so many.

   Don't look at sea cucumbers with spines, they are actually very slippery.

   After more than ten rounds, the Zhashen people pushed the gourd to the boat.

  Wang Dongmei put down the raft on the side of the boat and propped up the water to meet him, welcoming everyone onto the boat.

  The strong fisherman men showed another face to Wang Yi at this moment.

   Tired, weak, silent.

   After being pulled onto the raft, they all lay down and spread out, enjoying the sunshine.

  After returning from the raft to the big boat, they were like injured joints or turned into robots, their limbs would not obey the command, and Wang Yi and Wang Dongmei had to help them turn them over.

  Wang Dongfeng quickly pulled up his goggles after getting on the boat, opened his mouth and sneezed several times in a row, spit, snot, and tears.

   The big guy's face is ugly, and his strong body is shaking like a pendulum.

  Wang Dongmei has prepared soju.

  The shochu was warmed in a small iron kettle, and each person had a glass of wine. After they got it, they tilted their necks and drank it with a gu dong!

   Drinking wine and enjoying the sunshine, the big guy's complexion gradually improved.

Boldly rubbing his hands, he said, "What the ancestor said is right, the bones are cut in the spring and the meat is cut in the autumn, don't look at this spring, the water is not much warmer than winter, the mother-in-law is here, the cold is like a steel needle piercing the bones from the whole body! "

  Wang Yi took out Huang Feihong peanuts from the bag and distributed them to everyone: "Come here for one person, and then drink two sips of wine to warm up your body..."

   "I don't dare to drink it." Bold hurriedly waved his hand, "Drinking too much alcohol makes you dizzy and short of breath, both of them will die underwater."

  Wang Dongmei nodded: "Yes, dizziness is the most scary thing. You can't tell which is the sky and which is the bottom of the water underwater, especially the sand on some bottoms is very white and bright."

   "Dongqian in the village died the year before last. When we found him, his head was buried in the sand. He just lost his head and thought that the white sand on the bottom of the sea was the light of the water surface, and tried desperately to get out."

   When this topic is mentioned, the atmosphere on board is even more dull.

   Until Wang Dongfeng got Huang Feihong peanuts.

   He was immediately happy when he ate it: "I'm sloppy, how do you make this peanut? It's fragrant, numb and spicy, and it's like a small fire in your stomach. It's really comfortable!"

  Other people took a look at the peanuts in their hands, and were also curious: "Yes, are there peppers and peppercorns in the peanuts?"

   "It tastes pretty good, I've never eaten peanuts like this, Fengzi is right, it's spicy!"

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "Peanuts fried with chili peppers and Chinese prickly ash, I like to eat them and go to my place to get this for a drink later."

   "Okay." The group agreed immediately.

   They were eating peanuts one by one, and those who were distressed by the children at home pretended to be unwilling to eat them, and wanted to go back and let the children taste something fresh.

   After the break, they were ready to go into the water, and Wang Dongmei replaced a man named Wang Xiangqing.

  Wang Dongfeng smiled at Wang Xiangqing: "Fourth Uncle, you must have tossed my auntie a lot these days. Your body has turned into a radish, and you can't get water!"

  Wang Xiangqing said, "You're not so proud of yourself, let's mutter when you're my age when you can still go into the water to make ginseng."

  Wang Dongfeng patted his chest and said, "Look, we must be fine."

   boldly said: "Xizi, don't be so shy, the best thing about Zhashen is the boy's body. When I was your age, I could stick it for five minutes in one breath!"

   He asked Wang Yi: "Mr. Wang, don't you try to go into the water? Are you still a boy?"

  Wang Yi hesitated.

  Wang Dongfeng comforted him: "Mr. Wang is fine, he is not like a boy who can dive and plunge into the ginseng. Look at the captain and my fourth uncle, they are no longer a boy..."

   "Is this what I'm thinking about?" Wang Yi was annoyed, "I'm really not good at water, so I don't dare to take risks!"

   He discussed with the others again: "I'll give you some assistance today. Later, when the weather warms up, you teach me how to dive. How about going down when I'm good in water?"

   "Okay." Boldly put on goggles and jumped into the water again.

  Wang Yi patted his head: "Wait, don't go down yet, wait for me for two or three minutes, and give you something to eat."

   He knew that going to sea would definitely be exhausting, so he brought a pack of Snickers in the morning.

  There is a small stove on the boat to warm the wine and cook. He found the iron kettle to open the lid and put the Snickers in. Soon the chocolate melted and the dried fruit fell off.

   He used the shot glass he drank just now to fill the half-frozen Snickers bar and let everyone eat it while it was still hot.

  Snickers are sweet and greasy after being warmed up, but fishermen are too light-mouthed, so they like to eat such sweet and greasy things.

   They ate it twice with chopsticks, and they were amazed:

   "What kind of sugar is this? It's so sweet!" "What's hard inside? Peanut kernels? It's fragrant." "Anything else? Give me another cup."

  Wang Yi scraped the bottom of the pot clean and said, "This is chocolate, which can provide people with a lot of energy. You should feel better when you go into the water."

   boldly said: "Chocolate? I heard from my aunt's cousin, this is foreign candy, right? That's what it tastes like."

  Wang Dongfeng put on the goggles and smiled: "Hey, then we also eat foreign candy?"

   "You can go into the water, you can't be missing anywhere." Boldly gave him an elbow and pushed him into the water.

  The high heat of the Snickers bar is not blowing, it is really powerful in this regard.

  Everyone lasted a little longer in the water this time.

   It was almost noon, and the last one left on the boat was Wang Dongmei, who was going to prepare lunch for the big guy.

   This Wang Yi can help.

   He said happily: "Time flies pretty fast, we're halfway to work today? Then I can only help with cooking? I'm very embarrassed."

Wang Dongmei, who was cooking porridge, said, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, we're only halfway through our work time today, and we'll have to change jobs later. There's a chance for you to play in the afternoon. See if you like shaking the scull or casting a net. Pull the net, choose the job first in the afternoon."

  Wang Yi was stunned for a moment: "Didn't we go out to sea today to make ginseng? Why are we still shaking the scullery and casting the net?"

  Wang Dongmei smiled slightly: "That's why I said we still need to work as an au pair. In the afternoon, our second group will not tie sea cucumbers. Let's change to Director Hongmei's three groups, and let's go fishing!"

  Wang Yi's heart suddenly throbbed.

   I have a bad feeling...
