Chapter 884: Irresponsible lazy man (2)

Ji Huai did not go back along the original road, and drove to the dock.

The pier is full of fishing boats, including large fishing boats and simple

small fishing boats. A sea breeze blows over, and the air smells salty.

At this time, few fishing boats come back, so there are few people on the

pier.

"Brother Huai."

On the small fishing boat by the side, a black and thin young man called him.

Ji Huai stopped the electric car and heard about his reputation, "Aren't you

going to sea today?"

The young man's name is Sun Bin, who is also from the village. The two grew up

together when they were young.

Many young men in the small town rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Some

follow large fishing boats and come back in a few days or ten days. Some are

driven by small and old fishing boats. Generally, they can come back on the

same day without going far. If you are lucky, you will earn a very objective

income by catching dozens of catties of fish.

"Don't mention it, the engine is broken again, I am too lazy to repair it, and

I won't go out to sea recently." Sun Bin said and said again, "Anyway, I'm

tired, it's not a way to go on like this. I heard that there is a good job at

the train station, my dad. Mom has taken care of it, and I plan to go over

there in a few days."

Ji Huai raised his eyebrows: "Yes."

"Isn't this to please a wife? How can there be a wife when I go to sea all

day? I also bought a car to put on a facade, maybe I can trick a wife back."

Sun Bin smiled.

He is a few years younger than Ji Huai, but he is also considered an older

bachelor in the village. The family is urging to marry a wife to come back and

have children to pass on from generation to generation. It's not that he said

that Ji Huai's life is better than him, his wife is so good-looking, and his

daughter is also good-looking.

Ji Huai also laughed and nodded, "Isn't this simple? There are so many women."

Sun Bin is more diligent and quicker than him and can go to sea, but he is

also the master of one son and another. Like him, he doesn't have the ability,

but he is quite arrogant.

"I caught a lot of fish yesterday. I made fish soup tonight. I came to my

house for dinner. I haven't had a drink together for a long time." Sun Bin

listened to him and was in a good mood. He actively invited him and stretched

out his hand to pat his shoulder. "Remember to come."

"Okay, there must be me for drinking." Ji Huai immediately responded.

"See you at night, come early." Sun Bin emphasized again when he arrived.

"no problem."

....

Seeing the other party walking away, Ji Huai withdrew his gaze, and his gaze

fell on the dilapidated ship that Sun Bin had stopped on the shore.

The ship had been rusted a lot, and looked rudimentary. It used to be driven

by grandfather. Later, when grandfather fell ill, he was replaced by Sun Bin,

who drove out to sea to fish.

noon.

After Ji Ziqing finished the dance class, she carried her schoolbag, and the

students greeted the teacher enthusiastically.

"goodbye teacher."

"goodbye teacher."

"Teacher bye."

....

Like the classmates, Ji Ziqing raised her hand and waved, but her voice seemed

to be stuck in her throat. The other party couldn't hear it at all, so she

turned and walked out.

"Ziqing." The teacher called her from behind.

Hearing that the teacher called her, she was startled at first, then looked at

the teacher in a disturbed and confused manner, and grabbed her by the corner

of her clothes.

The teacher walked over and smiled and said to her, "They all signed up for

the city's dance audition. Did you go back and talk to your parents?"

A dance competition for elementary and middle school students was held in

China, and they have divisions in the urban area.

"I don't want to go." She whispered.

"Go and see, they all go, and it's okay to go and play together." The teacher

said with a smile.

The chance of promotion is small, but you can go on a bigger stage and

practice courage.

"I don't want to go, I don't like it." She lowered her head.

The teacher said that he would buy clothes and make up his hair, which would

cost hundreds of yuan.

"...That's it." The teacher's smile gradually faded. I didn't know what to

say, so I could only say, "If you don't want to go, it's okay. There will be a

small model draft next time."

Ji Ziqing is dull and inactive, and may not like such occasions. As a teacher,

she can't force it.

"Goodbye teacher." She waved her hand, lowered her head and carried her

schoolbag downstairs.

The dance teacher sighed softly.

Ji Ziqing walked all the way forward, not far from her school, there are many

stationery shops around the school, thinking of drawing lessons in the

afternoon, she walked into the stationery shop.

She wanted to buy crayons and found it after searching around. There are a row

of crayons on the shelf, all kinds, eight colors, twelve colors, and twenty-

four colors...

The first thing Ji Ziqing looks at is price.

So expensive, some cost more than twenty yuan.

She took out the thirty-five yuan her father had given her in her pocket,

looked at the money, and then at the crayons. The largest box of crayons cost

twenty-eight, with twenty-four colors. She picked it up, and finally put it

down. She chose the smallest box, which had only twelve colors and very small

roots.

When giving the money to the proprietress, the other party asked her for the

money, and she collected it carefully, and walked to the feed shop where her

mother worked.

Yin Cai was counting the feed on the truck. When she saw her coming, she

hurriedly said, "The meal is still not ready. Wait a while before you can eat.

Go back to the room and write homework."

"Okay." She carried the crayons and went upstairs.

The owner is a big boss. This building is all theirs. It has three and a half

floors. There is a feed shop on the first floor, and there are no people on

the second and third floors. Because of sympathetic encounters and Ji Ziqing's

frequent visits, she gave it to her. Arrange a room.

When Ji Ziqing walked to the top of the stairs, a big mouse rushed over. She

was taken aback and almost fell off the stairs. She stubbornly grasped the

railing, her face instantly pale.

"Squeak." The big mouse was still very arrogant, and stopped in the corner for

a while before running to other rooms.

Downstairs is the feed shop, there are rats everywhere, they can't be extinct

at all, and they will be bitten if they are not careful. The boss's daughter

was bitten when she came to live for a few days, and the family has never

stayed since.

Ji Ziqing's eyes were red, and she silently stretched out her hand to wipe her

tears, stood up and looked at the corner for several times, then gathered up

the courage to walk towards the other side of the room.

Back to the room and put down her schoolbag, she began to carefully take out

the newly bought crayons and began to draw seriously.

A princess slowly appeared on the drawing paper. She was wearing a crown and

beautiful clothes with a happy smile on her mouth.

"Ziqing, have dinner!"

Yin Cai's voice came from below.

"Ok."

Yin Cai couldn't hear her answer at all downstairs, so she could only shout

again:

"time to eat."

Ji Ziqing didn't answer any more, and trot off.

The rice is made by the proprietress’ mother, and the proprietress is also

there. There are sea fish on the dinner table today, as well as sea white

winter melon soup and two plates of green vegetables.

"Would you like some soup?" Yin Cai asked her daughter.

"Yeah." Ji Ziqing nodded gently.

Yin Cai served her daughter a bowl of soup, and then took another order for

her.

"Zi Qing, eat more, don't follow your mother, look at her skinny." The

proprietress said to Ji Ziqing, constantly urging her to eat more.

She has a round body and a round face. She looks like the legendary Vanguard.

"Yeah." Ji Ziqing buried himself in the meal.

"Yes, it's when you grow up to eat more." Yin Cai also pulled out a smile.

"Your daughter is quiet and worry-free. Take a look at the one in my house.

She went to the house to reveal the tiles without beating for three days. She

was not a girl at all, she was not obedient at all." The proprietress started

talking about her daughter, cursing , With a smile on his face.

Yin Cai heard it very uncomfortably. Seeing that Ji Ziqing had finished eating

the dishes in her bowl, she took another order for the other party.

If she doesn't pinch, Ji Ziqing won't eat more, no matter how hungry she is,

she will only eat a little bit. Seems well-behaved, but actually dare not.

Ji Ziqing once said to her that she didn't want to come to the store to eat,

it was eating other people's food. But where can I eat if I don’t eat? Let her

eat out alone? No one takes care of her at all.

The proprietress also felt sorry for her. Seeing that she looked so good, she

married a husband who couldn't help her, and she was useless. That's why her

daughter was allowed to rest here and eat some food by the way. She only came

for two days in a week, so it didn't matter.

A table of people was eating dinner, and the neighbors next to him came to

visit and chatted with the proprietress.

The old lady in the neighbor complained about the girl her son had just

brought back. She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and lowered her

voice, “It’s been a month. Four to five hundred yuan!"

As she spoke, she stretched out five fingers, verbally, with dissatisfaction.

"So many?" The lady boss was also surprised, and then said, "It's normal to

turn on the air conditioner on a hot day."

The old man feels distressed about the money, so he sinks his face

immediately, "How can money be so pretentious? You have to take a shower for

an hour, all with hot water on, you tell..."

"Little young."

....

"Mom, I'm full." Ji Ziqing looked at Yin Cai with a thin voice.

"Eat more." Yin Cai frowned as she watched half a bowl of rice left in the

bowl.

"I'm full." Ji Ziqing put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.

Yin Cai looked at the small figure of the other party, and suddenly she didn't

have much appetite for food.

Summer is very hot. Ji Ziqing used to slept upstairs with sweat all over her

body. She didn't dare to turn on the air conditioner in other people's homes,

because she was afraid of the increase in electricity bills and was rejected

by others.

The proprietress’ mother bought two bunches of grapes when she went shopping

today, and asked Yin Cai to wash some for Ji Ziqing.

She washed the grapes and sent them up. Ji Ziqing sat at the table and

painted. As expected, she didn't turn on the air conditioner. Knowing her

daughter's temperament well, she bought a fan on the Internet and told her

that the fan uses very little electricity. At this time, the other party

turned on the fan.

"mom."

Seeing her coming in, her eyes lit up.

Yin Cai walked to her and looked at the paintings she drew with a hint of

relief, "Is this a princess? It's so beautiful."

Hearing her mother praise her, Ji Ziqing rarely smiled innocently, Yin Cai

couldn't help but touched her daughter's soft hair, "Eat some grapes, go to

bed after eating, and have to go to class in the afternoon."

"Yeah." She nodded vigorously, washed her hands obediently, and fed her one

grape before eating.

The grapes are very sweet, so Ji Ziqing took small bites.

This kind of grapes are not cheap, they have to sell for more than 20 catties

when they are expensive, and she never buys them.

Looking at her daughter's contentment, Yin Cai still felt sore when her tears

flowed down to her numb eyes. She quickly stood up and said, "Mom has gone

down to see the store, and I will sleep for a while after eating."

Ji Ziqing nodded obediently.

In the evening.

Yin Cai got off work, launched a small electric car, and took Ji Ziqing home.

It was getting dark, the dimly yellow street lights were on, cautious, and the

car drove a little slow. Ji Ziqing stretched out her hand to embrace her

mother's slender waist, and pressed her face affectionately on her mother's

back.

"You said you wanted to buy crayons last week, but my mother forgot about it.

Can I take you to buy them tomorrow?" Yin Cai turned a corner and drove into

the village road.

"I bought it." The person behind him replied.

"How much? Mom will give it to you later." She knows that her daughter is very

economical. She may have taken it out of her pocket money, fearing that it is

all the money.

"Daddy gave it." Ji Ziqing said.

Yin Cai was surprised, "Dad gave you money?"

"Well, I gave thirty-five yuan, bought eight yuan, and there are 27 yuan

left."

Yin Cai thinks that Ji Huai may be in a good mood today, "You can keep the

rest of the money, buy what you lack, and ask your mother to get it if you

don't have it."

Ji Ziqing nodded and continued to hug her tightly.

Yin Cai thought for a while and then exhorted, "Next time you can ask your

father to get money, and father will give it to you if he has money."

She asked Ji Huai to get the money. The other party always said that he had no

money, and he didn't listen to him when he went to work.

If Ji Ziqing can get a little money from Ji Huai and relieve her a little

pressure, she has to save her daughter’s aristocratic junior high school

tuition as soon as possible.

"I don't want to." Ji Ziqing muttered.

"What?" Yin Cai didn't hear clearly.

Ji Ziqing did not speak any more and lowered her head.

When the two returned home, Ji Huai was taking a shower and was going out.

"Where are you going again?" Yin Cai asked.

"Sun Bin asked me to drink, you can eat by yourself." Ji Huai said, carrying a

bundle of wine he bought, wearing flip-flops, and walking out without looking

back.

Yin Cai had lost his temper with him, and did not ask a second sentence.

Ji Huai spent seven or eight days out of ten days to eat and drink, or if he

made money, he took the money to invite others to eat and drink, regardless of

their mother and daughter.

Other people's homes are brightly lit. They don't even have light bulbs so

bright. The light bulbs in the yard are even less bright. Not only does she

cook, she also has to use firewood to boil water to bathe her daughter.

Seeing that the fire in the boiling pot was still burning, did Ji Huai take a

hot bath today? She walked over and opened the pot, which was full of hot

water, already boiling.

Yin Cai's eyes were even more puzzled. Even if this person had boiled water,

he would not add water after taking a bath, let alone add fire to continue

burning. The sun really came out to the west.

She couldn't control that much, and said to her daughter, "Xiao Qing, go to

the house to take clothes and take a bath."

Ji Ziqing ran back to the house looking for clothes.

Yin Cai brought the bucket over, poured half of the hot water in the pot, and

carried it to the kitchen to fill up with cold water. After testing the water

temperature, she carried it to the simple shed. The light inside was still

dim. Fortunately, the place It is small and can also be illuminated.

Ji Ziqing came in with her own towel.

She was taking a shower, and Yin Cai was in a hurry to cook. There was a place

in the yard where she planted vegetables. She went to grab a handful, and then

took out the meat left over yesterday from the refrigerator and put it in and

stir fry together.

The rice was cooked when she left today. It will be too late to cook when she

comes back, so she can only cook it first and then reheat it.

After Ji Ziqing took a shower, the mother and daughter sat in the slightly dim

kitchen, eating a plate of dishes. The dishes are not good, and the dishes are

not rich, but Ji Ziqing ate two bowls of rice and found it delicious. With a

smile on her face, she asked about interesting things about today’s class.

the other side.

Ji Huai carried a sheaf of beer to Sun Bin's house, which was fifteen yuan,

which he found out through the bins and cabinets. He has no money, but he has

a good face and can't go empty-handed.

Because of this, although he is lazy and poor, everyone likes to call him for

drinking and eating, and he has a lot of meals.

"Brother Huai is here, sit down."

"Sit here."

A group of friends and friends greeted him.

Ji Huai leaned into the pot and said with a smile, "Oh, the food is good,

there are some yellow croakers, and crabs, not bad."

"That's not it? I still sold half of it." Sun Bin also came over with a bunch

of beer, "eat more, you're welcome."

"What are you polite?" Ji Huai sat down and looked at a table of shirtless

greasy men. He was the least greasy one. The others were either bald or had a

big belly.

As soon as the water boiled, the big guy couldn't wait to put the fish in it,

drove the beer and began to eat and drink, and then he began to brag, not

speaking properly.

From time to time, I threw the cup, and continued to laugh and brag.

Ji Huai heard that Sun Bin couldn't say how to go to sea, and asked, "Are you

going to sell the fishing boat?"

"The engine is broken. How much can I sell for a pile of rotten iron? Who

wants it?" Sun Bin smiled.

It's just a small broken ship.

"Sell it to me, and I'll go out to play." Ji Huai took a sip of beer and just

about to drink fish soup, thinking that it would cause gout, and stopped

abruptly.

"What are you going out to sea?" The men beside them laughed.

"Go and see, it’s boring at home. There are also fishing nets and so on. Don’t

just give it to me, spend a few hundred dollars to repair the engine, and then

go out and have a look." After Ji Huai said, he took the initiative, "I’ll

give You will sell it all to me for a thousand yuan."

Those gadgets are not worth a thousand at all, but who is not tempted by

money? Sun Bin's meaning is reduced a bit, "It costs two to three hundred to

repair the engine, but seven hundred is fine, but you should not go too far."

He felt that Ji Huai was on a whim. He wanted to have fun. Anyway, he kept the

fishing boat that was thrown away. Someone wanted it better.

"Do you still worry about this? When I was a child, I could go fishing with

Chen Erbo every day." Ji Huai drank wine and started talking boastful, "How

old was I then? No one in the village went more diligent than me, but I was

counting That's some fish."

Everyone laughed and talked about what happened when they were young.

"At that time, there was nothing to eat, so I went to catch the sea if I

couldn't go out to sea. In the middle of the night, I could catch a lot of

delicious food."

"Hey, speaking of the low tide today, when I just came back, a wave of

outsiders came to drive the sea."

"Come to play?"

....

Ji Huai didn't listen to the following words. He drank three bottles of beer,

didn't eat much fish, let alone drank much fish soup, but ate a lot of

peanuts.

After the sea ebbs, many fish, shrimps and shellfish will stay in shallow

water due to their slow movement. Therefore, every time the tide ebbs, some

fishermen will go to the beach to pick up seafood.

Ji Huai sat and ate with them until half past ten, found an excuse and went

back.

Just as Yin Cai fell asleep, there were voices after another, and she was

vigilant, "Who?"

"Me." Ji Huai's voice came.

Hearing that it was him, Yin Cai's heart settled down, checked the door, made

sure that the door was locked, and went back to bed to sleep again.

In a daze, she felt that Ji Huai seemed to be out again.

Where did you go? What are you going to do? She didn't know, and didn't want

to know.

It's half past eleven in the evening.

There were no people on the beach, the sound of waves coming and going one

after another in the distance, and occasionally a little bright light not far

away, it was a fishing boat in the distance.

Ji Huai was strapped to a light at this time, wearing water pants and water

shoes, wearing gloves on his hands, and carrying a white bucket with a long

clip inside.

Naturally, foreigners who come to catch the sea will not stay on the beach in

the middle of the night. Most of them come to play during the day or evening.

Some hard-working locals will also come to catch the sea to see if they can

pick up some seafood.

But there were not many people, and Ji Huai looked over with only a few

lights. Nowadays, people's living standards have improved, and they don't

bother to look for some seafood at night, and they can buy it if they want.

Today's luck is good. The tide is heading up, and the tide is receding fast,

leaving a lot of seafood.

At night, there were a lot of mosquitoes, and the lights above his head were

buzzing. He didn't waste time and walked down quickly.

Crabs like to hide around the stones. When he sees a place with a stone, he

opens it and sees it. If there is a puddle, he will reach inside and fish.

After fishing a few times, there is nothing.

He continued to walk forward, broke another stone, and just put it in, he

stumbled on the crab shell, reached in with his big hand, grabbed an orchid

crab.

Crabs have to be caught from behind so they don’t get bitten.

The orchid crab has patterns on its body and is light blue, which looks

pretty. This orchid crab is quite fat, Ji Huai hooked his mouth, "Run."

When the words fell, he threw it into the bucket.

Continue to move forward, and when you reach the shallow water, fish will

appear. No, he saw the mud fierce fish.

It's easy to catch fish at night, they don't move much, and then shine a light

with the light to stay more stable.

Ji Huai leaned down, slowly reached in, lifted its tail, and threw it directly

into the bucket. The fish churned violently in the bucket.

Mudfish has no scales, and its meat is delicious, but the spines of the

dorsal, caudal, and pelvic fins have venomous glands, which cannot be pierced,

or they will suffer severe pain.

After catching the fish, he filled the bucket with some water, but he couldn't

let them die because they were worthless.

Ji Huai walked all the way forward, and from time to time he bent over and

lowered his head to fish under the stone. The crab was quite good at running.

He was carrying a stone crab's leg. Fortunately, he brought gloves, otherwise

he would be caught.

Occasionally, some shellfish will be found, but they are all worthless

shellfish, a few dollars a catty, Ji Huai will not let it go, pick it up and

put it in the bucket.

He picked up the most crabs, only 20 minutes, he caught five or six, some of

them were too small, and he let them go.

I also caught a few mud meng fish, but none of them were too big. Fortunately,

there are many people who like to eat, and the price can be sold for more than

30 kilograms. Jihuai went to the shallow water area just to catch more.

In fact, it is difficult to catch a big fish in the sea, so he wanted to catch

more mud fish and more crabs, but he did not expect that when he went inside,

he saw a devil fish.

This thing looks weird, like a bat. It tastes good when braised in brown

sauce. It costs 60 to 70 per pound.

When Ji Huai saw its eyes lit up, it was all RMB, no matter how deep the water

was, I was afraid that it would run away, put down the bucket and walked

quietly.

The other party was swimming in the shallow water and wanted to use the waves

to return to the sea. When Ji Huai stepped in, it noticed that its wings were

stirring.

He gritted his teeth, pointed the light at the fish, squatted down and slowly

moved over.

The devil fish was wagging its tail, but there was a stone next to it. It was

hit a few times, and it was spinning again.

Ji Huai found the right time and rushed over to catch. The other party flashed

and was about to flee towards the exit. He turned over, rushed to catch it,

and immediately picked it up.

"You have at least two catties, want to run?!"
