Chapter 234 Something happened
Li Changle felt that walking by water was much faster than pedaling, but within ten minutes, the boat returned to the dock.
They saw that there were many more ships returning to the shore than when they came back. The strange thing was that there were not even a few people on the shore that was noisy in the past.
The two packed up the things on the boat, stacked the rubber buckets and bamboo baskets together, and jumped off the boat.
Li Changle saw a group of people in front of him, cursing and walking towards the corner, and the faint sound of a woman's cursing could be heard.
Chen Yongwei stretched his neck, "Brother, what happened?"
"Go and have a look." Li Changle picked up the bamboo basket and moved forward, preparing to find someone to inquire about the news.
After walking a few steps, I saw Chen Amao and a man walking over, cursing.
"You aunt, the big tide is coming soon, and the goods are about to be sold. I don't know where a plague ship will come out..."
"Boss Chen, what happened?" Li Changle rushed to greet him and asked.
"Alas!" Chen Amao sighed, "The Alai brothers were hit by a ten-meter-long iron boat near Sheshan Island.
Before the two brothers could stand still, those people boarded the boat and grabbed it without saying a word. Achang and I happened to be passing by and hurriedly drove the boat to rush to help, but those people just drove off and ran away.
The Lai brothers' fishing nets, catches, and net hoists were all robbed. The brothers were beaten with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces. Lao Er's hand seems to have been injured as well. He is now sent back to the village doctor.
Already."
People in the fishing village are very united after going to sea, because they are all fishermen. What others encounter today may happen to them one day.
Li Changle said angrily: "Where did the boat come from so arrogantly, and dared to rob it in broad daylight? Have you seen clearly where the fishing boat is?"
Chen Amao shook his head, "I don't know. It's not our boat, nor is it from Nan'an. The five men all look young, and their accents are different from those here!"
Although the dialect here sometimes differs from village to village, the accents here still have similarities.
The accents when those people spoke sounded a bit like those from the province next door.
"Ah Mao, the accent is not simple. You can learn the accent from other places." Achang took over and said, "Let me tell you, we should also be on guard against some people pretending to be accents from other places to do bad things?"
The land grab between the north coast and the south coast has been peaceful for more than half a year after the government mediated and demarcated the sea area.
But there are many big ships over there, and resources are being consumed quickly. If their fish catch there is no longer good, it is not impossible for them to come and rob them here.
But now there is no evidence, and no one dares to say it. After all, people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have lived in peace for more than half a year.
If they weren't responsible for this, it would be bad for everyone to have another dispute.
Chen Amao nodded, "No matter where it comes from, you have to be careful when going out to sea in the future. An iron boat with a length of more than ten meters will hit the boat without saying a word. Only small wooden boats will be unlucky."
Li Changle said: "In the future, we should call a few boats to go out to sea together, so that if we encounter each other, we will have someone to take care of us."
Achang: "Yes, if we hadn't met us today, what would have happened to the Lai brothers?"
A few people stood there, smoked cigarettes, and discussed how to deal with it.
Chen Amao sold the shrimp, mackerel, cuttlefish, and squid tubes caught today to Li Changle, and then left in the fishing boat.
All these things together weighed just over a hundred kilograms, so Li Changle and Chen Yongwei found a wooden stick and carried them back.
The villagers I met along the way were all talking about the Lai brothers being robbed, and they all said that when they went to work overseas in the future, they would better make a date with them so that they could take care of each other.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, their two sons came to greet them, "Abba, you are back!"
Li Changle reached out and gave the two of them a hand, "How was your performance in school today?"
"The teacher also praised me."
"Have you finished Xiaohai's homework?"
"We've finished writing. Brother Xiaoyang and the others are still writing." Li Xiaohai said and ran towards the house, "Mom, dad is back."
Zhou Ruonan came out of Mother Li's house and looked at him uneasily, "You're back! Have you heard about the Lai family?"
"I heard that!" Li Changle smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, those people only dare to snatch fishing boats that are alone. We have two boats together and four strong laborers, so they don't dare to attack us."
"Well, I'm still cooking something on the stove. I'll tell you later." Zhou Ruonan hurriedly walked towards the house.
The two of them carried out the rubber bucket, and Ge Changfa came and said, "Ale, what time will you go to sea tomorrow? We will go together then."
"Tomorrow, on the eighth day of the lunar month, we will start construction on my new house and we will not go out to sea." Li Changle handed him a cigarette, "Have you also heard about the Lai family?"
Ge Changfa nodded, "My boat is at the dock behind them, and their boat was driven back with the help of Boss Chen's boat.
The two brothers were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. One of Lao Er's hands was broken and he has been sent to the hospital to have his bones reshaped."
"Damn it, you were struck by lightning, the robber Green Shell, these people will be punished sooner or later." Sister-in-law Li and Mother Li, who came to move the fish, cursed loudly.
"Alas!" Ge Changfa sighed, "I hope God will open his eyes."
Li Changle felt the same way, "It's better to rely on God for retribution than to take precautions yourself."
Chen Yongwei nodded, "Yes, they are all talking about asking a few people to go out to sea together. As long as they are not alone, there will be someone to take care of them even if the ship is robbed."
Ge Changfa: "I came to ask you about going to sea because I want to be with you so that we can take care of each other."
Li Changle also guessed, "How about you work offshore tomorrow and we go to sea together the day after tomorrow?"
"I'll go back and talk to my brother and see what his plans are. I'll tell you after I say hello." Ge Changfa said and asked, "How was your fish catch today?"
"good!"
"Then I'll leave first."
"Come home for a drink tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Li Changle sent him off for a few steps, then went back to help kill the fish together. He picked up a Qingzhan, removed the gills, made an opening in the belly of the fish with a knife, took out the internal organs, scraped a few times with the knife, and the fish was killed.
.
"Brother, does Ah Fu have any objections to us? I saw that Ah Fa wanted to go to sea with us several times, but he never made it."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Li Changle shook his head, "I didn't even say a few words to him. I wonder if my brother and the others have any conflicts with him?"
"I'll ask my eldest brother and my second brother later. If there is really a conflict, it would be better for us not to go to sea together. My grandma said that the most taboo thing is to have people with different intentions on the ship."
"Grandma is right. I'll ask when brother and the others come back."
After they finished killing the fish and helped Zhou Ruonan and Li Ersao set the table, the people working on the construction site also came back.
After dinner, Zhang Dejin rode back with his brothers. The Chen family and the Li family were sitting in the yard discussing what to do tomorrow.
That row of old houses has been repaired. Father Li also went to the brigade to buy some old door panels from Accountant Chen. With the bamboo doors made today, it is no longer a problem for people to open fire.
Tomorrow all the dozen or so masons will be at work, and someone will have to prepare three meals a day.
The eighth day of the lunar month is a good time to break ground and relocate, which is consistent with the Li family. It is a good day to do everything.
The day of the groundbreaking was not very particular. The Li family only had to prepare tofu, steamed buns and bowls at high tide, worship the Lord of the Land, brother Li Changle dug the first hoe, and the rest was left to the foreman.
The fishermen have a special liking for "rising tide". In their philosophy, "rising tide" is a symbol of prosperity and development.
Therefore, whether the fishermen are building roof beams, moving to a new house, wedding banquets, etc., they will all choose to hold them at high tide.
The Li Changle brothers moved in first. Sister-in-law Li, Second Sister-in-law Li, and Grandma Chen were responsible for organizing meals, grains, vegetables, and buying meat. The money and goods spent were shared equally among the four families.
After discussing it, everyone started talking about the Lai brothers.
Father Li said: "When we were in Nanshan, Lao Jin told me that everyone knew what happened to the Lai family, and they would go to sea together with two families from the immigrant village tomorrow.
You brothers should look after each other when you go out together. If you are too far apart and notice something is wrong, leave if you can; if you cannot leave, you must focus on the outside world."
After hearing this, Mother Li looked at him with disapproval, "Look what you said, the sea is boundless, how can it be so easy to encounter it?"
Father Li glared at her, "If you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. No matter whether you encounter them or not, you must be prepared in advance so that you can have an idea in your mind when encountering problems."
Li Changle saw that his mother was also glaring, and hurriedly reassured the others, "Mom, dad is just saying that in case, there is no need to worry."
Grandma Chen also advised: "Yes, Sister-in-law Ah Hua, as long as the family has a boat and goes to the sea, they are discussing this matter, and Ah Le and the others are well aware of it."
Mother Li sighed and said, "I know what Atang said is right, but I'm just worried."
Li Changle: "Auntie, please relax. I have found out everything about today from Boss Chen. There are only five people on the iron boat.
They also picked on the Lai brothers who were alone. The four of us are strong laborers, and we are not easy to bully even if we encounter them."
Brother Li took it and said, "Ale is right, they only dare to attack lone ships. Our two ships are together every day, so even if we encounter them, we don't dare to attack them."
Chen Yongwei: "Yes, my brother is the most powerful in fights. I am stronger and can deal with two or three."
Brother Li: "There are a few green bars on the boat. I will also bring the harpoon at home from now on."
Sister-in-law Li was full of gangsterism, "I also brought a hatchet with me. My brothers always brought them with them when they went out to sea. The year before last, they were competing for territory with the iron boats on the south coast.
My eldest brother and second brother brought up the bright hatchets, and a few of them drew blood when they hit them, and they were all beaten away."
Their hatchets are not machetes with short handles, but machetes with long handles, which are specially used to chop forks on tree trunks.
Father Li: "I will strengthen the handle of the knife later and sharpen the knife. Robbers will always be wary when they see it."
"You guys must bring it with you." Grandma Chen warned worriedly, "I think what Atang just said makes sense. In the future, when you brothers go to sea, it's best for the two ships not to be far apart, so that if something happens, we can make it in time.
.”
Chen Yongwei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, grandma, this is what we plan to do."
