Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 45 Village Banquet
Everyone's boats docked, and the men took off their masks, all of them showed the joy of harvest, and called their family members to help unload the cargo.

Pieces of large plastic sheets were laid out by the sea, and batches of sea goods were unloaded.

Shrimp jumping around in the sea, crabs running rampant and fish jumping around, every time you pour out a net of seafood, you can see one or two precious seafood.

"Large lobster! So beautiful!"

"Quick! Tie those crabs quickly, and don't let them run back into the sea."

"Look at this fish, it's huge!"

"Where do we usually eat these, this time we can eat enough!"

……

The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law gathered around the seafood, sorting and laughing, and the men sat on the beach to rest, talking about the situation on the bottom of the sea, and there was endless talk.

"Tianhui, you're right. There are so many fish and shrimps in the seabed, I'm so confused." Xu Changshan said excitedly.

"Don't worry about fishing, there are more in the depths." Wang Tianhui said with a smile.

"There are a lot of lobsters and big crabs, but they're too thieves. Once they get into the coral reef, they won't come out. They just have to catch them by surprise. I'm exhausted after catching two of them. I'm still not at Tianhui's level." Supermarket Uncle Liu said with emotion.

Yang Dajun laughed at the side, "You guys are just too greedy. I've been in the sea for two days and I've come to a conclusion. You can't keep staring at expensive things. You can use a bottle of gas for an hour. You waste all your time here. It’s above, it’s better to catch something easier, you can see that all the things I fish are easy to fish, but the quantity is large, it’s more suitable than fishing for lobsters and sea cucumbers.”

Yang Dajun pointed to his pile of trash and said.

Everyone nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

"Today we are holding a village banquet in the village. Let's have fun, let's go to the sea tomorrow. From now on, every day will be a day to make money. Don't rush this day!" Yang Shouwang said to everyone.

"Good! Have a good meal today!" Everyone agreed.

Although Yujia Village is not big and there are not many people, everyone is of one mind, and the village chief will listen to every word.

Wang Tianhui saw that everyone caught a lot of seafood, enough for the whole village to eat, so he asked them to pick out big lobsters and abalones.

"You pick out these high-quality and precious seafood and put them in buckets to raise at home. Tomorrow, I will let my brother-in-law bring them to the city to help you sell them. We will have enough leftovers."

"Look at Tianhui, how understanding he is." Xu Dacheng was delighted to hear that.

"Tianhui, you help us buy equipment and take care of us like this. I really don't know what to say." Uncle Liu was a little moved.

"You're welcome, you all live in the same village, shouldn't you help each other with things?"

As soon as Wang Tianhui spoke, everyone applauded.

Wang Shanhe and Xu Huifang looked at each other, full of pride.

Everyone on the beach was chatting and laughing to pack up the seafood. After the packing, every family went back and took tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks and set up a mat on the threshing ground in the village.

Yang Dajun led people to build a temporary stove by the side of the threshing ground, set up a few large pots, brought firewood, and burned the fire vigorously.

The daughters-in-law pick and cut vegetables, Xu's daughter-in-law Xiaocui is in charge of cooking, and the seafood feast is ready.

The elders sat around the table drinking tea and chatting, the men drank and chatted, and the women fried the dishes deliciously.

The happiest thing is the children in the village, all of them are as happy as they are in the New Year.

As night fell, the threshing ground was lit with headlights, as if it were daytime. All the villagers gathered here, eating seafood, drinking fine wine, and thinking about the future.

The girls and boys in the village also took the opportunity to perform for everyone.

Simple musical instruments were blown up, and many people took this opportunity to show off their singing voices, whether they sang well or not, the main purpose was to have fun.

Liu Xiaozhu also sang two songs, her sweet voice amazed everyone, and the villagers booed, insisting that Wang Tianhui sing a love song with her.

Wang Tianhui couldn't hold back the crowd's booing, so he sang a folk song with Liu Xiaozhu. It was a song that could be sung by old people in the village ranging from 80 to [-] years old, down to toddlers.

Driven by Wang Tianhui and Liu Xiaozhu, everyone held wine glasses and sang folk songs together.

This scene made Yang Shouwang cry again.

The quarrel lasted until midnight, when the men were drunk and the children fell asleep in the arms of the women, and every family reluctantly went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Wang Tianhui heard someone on the street shouting to go to the sea together in his sleep.

The whole village is busy, and there are laughter everywhere.

As he fell asleep, the scent wafted in through the crack of the door.

Wang Tianhui's stomach grumbled. He got up and went to the kitchen, where he saw his mother picking up abalone, lobster, and a few sea stars and sea urchins from the steamer.

Before Wang Tianhui could speak, Xu Huifang said with a smile, "This was brought by the villagers in the morning. They said it was for you to eat. Wash your hands and eat."

"He's so big, why don't you let brother-in-law take him to the city by the way?" Wang Tianhui asked.

"I said the same thing, but if they don't do it, they insist on eating it for you. If you don't eat it, they will cook it and send it to me. I can't help it. Who made my son so popular?" Xu Huifang thought She was flattered, and her tone of voice was a bit ostentatious.

Seeing his mother happy, Wang Tianhui was also happy.

"Where's my dad?"

"Your father asked your third uncle to call him away early in the morning. He is probably already at sea now. You don't need to worry about him. He has already had breakfast."

"Why does my dad go to sea every day? Can't he take a good rest when he's too old?" Wang Tianhui said speechlessly.

Xu Huifang smiled: "It's not like you don't know your father's personality. He can't be idle, and it's a crime to let him enjoy the happiness at home. It's better to stay comfortably at sea."

After Xu Huifang finished speaking, she put a small basin of seafood into a bamboo basket, covered it with gauze and handed it to Wang Tianhui.

"Hurry up and send it to Liu Yatou's house while it's hot, and eat it when you come back."

"okay!"

Wang Tianhui took the basket and went out.

Everyone along the way greets him, and being too popular is also an annoyance.

When we arrived at Liu Xiaozhu's house, there were already many people queuing up to inflate in the yard. Sun Zaihua was already quite skilled in the technique, filling up very quickly, and was also very happy when collecting money.

"Tianhui is here, and it happens that Xiaozhu is cooking, let's eat together!" Sun Zaihua was happy to see Wang Tianhui.

"No need for Aunt Liu, my mother steamed some seafood in the morning and asked me to bring it while it was hot, and she is still waiting for me to go back to eat."

After Wang Tianhui finished speaking, he entered the kitchen, where Liu Xiaozhu was cooking.

Liu Xiaozhu wore a new dress today, with white flowers on the foundation, which made her skin fairer. Her shiny black hair was casually pulled back and tied into a ponytail, and she was humming and cooking.

She was humming the folk song she sang with Wang Tianhui last night, still reminiscing about yesterday's joy.

"Xiaozhu, why are you so happy?" Wang Tianhui walked into the kitchen and asked softly.

"what!"

Liu Xiaozhu was startled, and when she turned her head and saw Wang Tianhui coming, her face blushed instantly.

"You are so beautiful today." Wang Tianhui couldn't help but praise.

Hearing Wang Tianhui's praise, Liu Xiaozhu smiled like a peach blossom, "My mother bought this for me. She made more than 100 yuan inflating the villagers yesterday, so she is very happy."

"That's great." Wang Tianhui was sincerely happy for their mother and daughter.

"Brother Tianhui, thank you!"

Wang Tianhui said unhappily: "You are being polite to me again."

"Hee hee, I won't talk about it next time." Liu Xiaozhu stuck out her tongue playfully, showing the girl's delicacy.

"Well, that's right. These seafood were steamed by my mother just now, and they are still hot. Let's eat them while they are hot. I'll go back first."

"Aren't you going to eat together?" Liu Xiaozhu wanted to pull Wang Tianhui's hand, but didn't dare.

"My mother is still waiting for me, let's have dinner together next time."

"Ok!"

Liu Xiaozhu was afraid that Xu Huifang would be in a hurry, so she didn't force Wang Tianhui to stay, and sent him out of the gate.

On the way back, passing the intersection to the beach, Wang Tianhui saw the seafood dealer's van driving past again, this time he went to three vans.

Seeing that the villagers had harvested well, these guys flew over one by one like flies smelling fishy.
