The fishing port is large and full of fishing boats.
"Is it the fishing moratorium now?" Chen Yuan said after getting ashore.
"The fishing moratorium will begin on May 1 this year." Lin Xinhai said: "There are fewer and fewer fish in the offshore waters. The fishing moratorium is quite good."
Zhou Sheng jumped ashore: "Master, where is your fishing boat?"
Lin Xinhai pointed to the green-painted iron fishing boats not far away and said, "That, two boats."
Two fishing boats that are more than 30 meters long and look very old.
"You're not good at it." Zhou Sheng chuckled.
Lin Xinhai slapped Zhou Sheng on the head: "Although the ship is not big, if it can go to the open sea, it can work continuously for dozens of days at sea. If you have no place to go in the future, follow your godfather, and he will give you a gift."
A fishing boat.”
Zhou Sheng clasped his hands in his fists, rolled his eyes, and said, "Following your old gangster, I will starve for nine meals in three days."
Chen Yuan kicked Zhou Sheng: "Why are you talking to Master?"
Lin Xinhai...
To Chen Yuan and the others, they were like teachers and friends.
As for the godfather thing.
Lin Xinhai's age should be fifty years old this year.
When he was in the fleet, Lin Xinhai was very good to Chen Yuan and others.
Two years ago, when Lin Xinhai was injured and had to return to China, he said he wanted to take Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng in as godsons, and the two agreed.
It has been more than two years, I should say almost three years. During this period, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have been floating on the sea, but they will also chat with Lin Xinhai when they have the opportunity.
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan and said, "You don't know, before the fishing boat docked in Chile for repairs, the old guy said he would take me out to eat abalone. Hey... he actually went to eat abalone."
Well???
"Really?" Chen Yuan looked at Lin Xinhai.
Lin Xinhai snorted, bouncing and bouncing as he walked, and said, "If you don't learn well at a young age, how will you find a wife in the future? Am I, your godfather, such an immoral person?"
"Yes..." Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng said with smiles.
There are no women in the ocean-going fleet. A group of men sleep together and have a lot of sex.
Chen Yuan caught up with Lin Xinhai and said with a smile: "Then before you said you were going out to eat abalone?"
"It's serious abalone." Lin Xinhai rolled his eyes and said, "You've eaten it too."
"I'll go..." Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng, quite speechless.
To be honest, Chen Yuan really thought...
As for Zhou Sheng, he often told himself on the boat about his experience of going out to eat abalone with his master, and how proud he was of it. He boasted so much that Zhou Sheng himself believed it, let alone Chen Yuan.
Fishing boats rarely dock in Chile. They have been drifting at sea for the past three years. In the last four years, fishing boats have only been able to dock in Chile for repairs, on average only once a year.
In other words, Lin Xinhai only docked in Chile twice.
Looking at Chen Yuan's appearance, Lin Xinhai burst out laughing, patted Chen Yuan's head and said, "I am a man with a family, how could I go to a place like that?"
"That's not necessarily true," Zhou Sheng said.
"Hurry up, let's go back to eat." Lin Xinhai glared at Zhou Sheng.
Lin Xinhai's walking posture was very happy, jumping up and down... This is the walking posture he is used to on boats after staying at sea all year round.
Zhou Sheng walks with splayed legs...
Chen Yuan also had some bounce when walking, but not as serious as Lin Xinhai.
We arrived at the parking lot, got into a pickup truck, and entered the town.
This is a very big town, much more prosperous than the county seat in my hometown.
The buildings in the town are densely packed.
"How much does the house on the island cost now?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Six to seven thousand, eight to nine thousand, more than ten thousand...all." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "House prices on the island have dropped a bit in recent years. Do you want to buy a house here?"
"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded.
"I will show you the house tomorrow. There are many second-hand houses on the island, all of which have been renovated and have not been lived in." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "Some time ago, my daughter wanted to buy a house, and I went to see it with her. Buy second-hand.
The room is equivalent to giving decoration."
While talking, they came to Lin Xinhai's home, a three-story building with a small area.
After getting off the car, a woman came out. She looked to be in her forties and was well-maintained.
"My wife." Lin Xinhai said: "Call someone."
"Master's wife." Chen Yuan shouted.
"Godmother." Zhou Sheng shouted.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng looked at each other, and then they both changed their words...
Chen Yuan calls "Godmother" and Zhou Sheng calls "Master Mu".
Xu Lixia smiled and said, "Come in and sit down."
Lin Xinhai helped Chen Yuan and the others move their luggage in: "Stay here for a few more days. Now during the fishing moratorium, I am also free...I will take you around tomorrow. Also, if you want to call me master, just call me master."
, if you want to call me godfather, then call me godfather, don’t change your tune all of a sudden.”
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's better to call me master. It feels weird to call me godfather."
"That's okay... Anyway, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father."
Chen Yuan had a black line and felt that Lin Xinhai was taking advantage of him.
In the living room, two young people, a man and a woman, were busy.
Lin Xinhai said: "My daughter, Lin Xiaoyue, and son-in-law Wang Peng... they are the Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng that I often mention."
Xu Lixia greeted Chen Yuan and the others to sit down quickly.
Lin Xinhai brought a bottle of liquor, Maotai Feitian, and brought them small wine glasses: "It's been a long time since we drank together. Let's drink more today."
"Why."
When they arrived at Lin Xinhai's house, this was the first time that Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng met Lin Xinhai's family, so they were somewhat cautious.
Lin Xinhai poured a glass of wine for Chen Yuan and the others and said, "I'll drink this first."
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng also raised their glasses quickly and took a sip: "What are you doing?" Chen Yuan said.
"It's just that it's not like your style." Zhou Sheng said.
"You understand, I'm too lazy to say anything." Lin Xinhai sighed and said.
The reason why Lin Xinhai left the fleet can be said to be an accident, or it can be said not to be an accident.
Life on an ocean-going fishing boat is very boring, especially a single ocean-going fishing boat. It is simply like a prison.
High-intensity labor, harsh environment, and long-term depression are very likely to lead to mental problems. Crew members will jump into the sea inexplicably, disappear suddenly, and even kill each other.
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng were lucky. They joined a large company and it was not a single fishing boat that sailed away, but a large fleet. A large fleet sailed together, and people would feel more secure in it.
But even so, people on board are prone to problems over time.
At that time, the crew was working on the deck, some were reeling in lines, some were killing fish, and some were delivering boxes.
I don’t know what happened, but there was an argument between two people who were killing fish. One of the crew members raised a knife and stabbed his companion opposite. The white knife went in and the red knife came out.
Lin Xinhai, with quick eyes and quick hands, rushed to grab the knife and was stabbed twice.
At that time, everyone was too frightened to step forward, so Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng rushed forward and snatched the man's knife away.
Fortunately, the base ship was not far away from them. In just a few minutes, the doctor came to their ship. The two injured people were fine...
Chen Yuan picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass for Lin Xinhai, and said with a smile: "This wine is very fragrant."
"Moutai Feitian costs more than 3,000 yuan a bottle. How can it not be delicious?"
"It's so expensive. I don't think it tastes as good as Erguotou." Zhou Sheng said.
"Please taste this wine carefully. If you don't know how to drink it, don't waste it. I'll get you Erguotou." Lin Xinhai laughed.
"No, no, no... I think this wine is pretty good. Hehehehe..."
The vegetable boat arrived, a large bowl of oysters, steamed snapper, boiled conger eel, large grouper head with chopped pepper...crabs, shrimps...a big table full.
"This is my first time at Master's house, so don't be polite and hurry up and eat." Lin Xinhai said.
"In the past few years, your master has always thought of you..." Xu Lixia said: "Eating fish head with chopped pepper, this is specially prepared by your master."
