078 I don’t remember. Fortunately, it was already dawn. When the boatman saw us, he naturally wouldn’t leave us alone. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.
I shouted loudly: "Sister Chu Chu, we are saved! We are saved!"
The boatman came over quickly. An old fisherman and a son rescued Sister Chu Chu and me on the boat. The old fisherman covered Sister Chu Chu and me with a cotton coat. I asked worriedly: "Look at Sister Chu Chu."
Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay. We'll send you to our home first, and then you'll be fine after you drink a bowl of our good ginger soup!" said the old fisherman.
"Thank you, old man. I cannot thank you enough!"
The old man and his son sent us to their home. It turned out that there were four people in their family, a couple, and then a son and a daughter. They made a living by fishing. My brother had dropped out of school very early and followed his father to help on the boat, but we also lost the ship.
The place is relatively close to the shore, otherwise we would really be in trouble every day and the earth would not be able to respond.
It took a long time for Sister Chu Chu to wake up
At that time, I had already drank two bowls of ginger soup. When I saw Sister Chu Chu slowly waking up, I was extremely excited. I reached out and shook her and said, "Sister Chu Chu, are you awake?"
Sister Chu Chu nodded, then noticed her wet clothes and asked, "Xiaohua, are we saved?"
"Yes, we survived!" I said happily
Sure enough, Sister Chu Chu looked very happy when she heard what I said. She wanted to stand up, but her body became weak as soon as she moved!
"Here, drink some ginger soup first!" I said with concern, then reached out to take the ginger soup, brought it to Sister Chu Chu's mouth, and said: "Open your mouth, Sister Chu Chu!"
Sister Chu Chu hummed, opened her mouth, and stared at me with her eyes. After a while, she finished the bowl of ginger soup.
Sister Chu Chu said: "I swear, the next time I run for my life, I will never take a boat again!"
Haha, we both laughed out loud for the rest of our lives.
Sister Chu Chu looked at the broken bowl I was holding, then at the fisherman’s family’s bare walls, and said, “This family saved us?”
I nodded and said: "Yes, Sister Chu Chu, when we feel better, we will repay others!"
"Repay now, little flower, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring!" Sister Chu Chu said, reaching out to grab her pocket, and then she was stunned.
"What's wrong, Sister Chuchu?"
"Can't find my wallet?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It was probably washed away by the sea. We don't have to worry about that. When we feel better, we can just call your dad and ask him to send some money over!"
When Sister Chu Chu heard this, she said, "But, my phone was washed away!"
"That's why I said wait until you feel better! Why don't we just go to the public phone and call your father!"
Sister Chu Chu nodded and said: "That's true. I just feel that my body has no strength. I think I will be able to jump around in a while!"
I smiled happily and suddenly remembered the secret that Sister Chu Chu told me. I wonder if this secret still counts now?
I reminded: "Sister Chu Chu, what you said just now at the most dangerous moment..."
"What? I didn't say anything?" Sister Chu Chu refused and shook her head: "Please, I didn't seem to say anything?"
Well, since you don't admit it, what else can I say, so I have to obey your wishes: "Oh, right, right, right, let's get better quickly now, that's the most important thing. Do you want another bowl?"
"Yes!" Sister Chu Chu nodded happily.
After I served the ginger soup, I planned to feed it to her this time, but she snatched it away. She smiled and said, "I can do it myself!"
Come on, come on, I'd better feed myself! I walked out of the room
The middle-aged woman's skin was not very good. When she saw me walking out of the room, she asked, "Young man, are you feeling better?"
I nodded and said, "Thank you, aunt, I'm much better!"
The aunt asked again: "Is your wife feeling better?"
My daughter-in-law? Sister Chu Chu? Haha, the title of aunt is really refreshing. I said: "The recovery is not bad!"
"After you drink the soup, have a good sleep. When you wake up at noon, I guarantee you will be more energetic than before!"
"Oh, thank you, aunt, for letting my wife sleep first. I want to go outside for a walk!"
"Hey, how can anything get better in this remote place like ours?" The aunt sighed and said, "But the place where our Xiaoyu goes to school, which is in front of the school, is quite lively. If you want to visit
For shopping, just go to the school gate and have a look!"
I mainly wanted to buy a pair of underwear to wear first. After all, it was too uncomfortable. After hearing what the aunt said, I nodded and said, "Okay, aunt!"
"Remember to come back for dinner at noon! They will also be back by then! You guys have a drink!"
I nodded and said, "Okay, aunt, I'm just looking around, maybe I'll be back soon!"
I walked back to the room where Chuchu and I were. The bed in that room was very big. It was made of pieces of wood and nailed by myself. It shook when I sat on it. But this bed was really big.
Sister Chu Chu was lying next to the bed. When she saw me coming back, she complained a little: "What have you been doing?"
I smiled and said, "Oh, I want to go out for a walk. By the way, do you have any cash with you? When I go out, I want to buy something back. I see that Auntie's life is quite tight!"
When Sister Chu Chu dug her pockets, she found nothing. Her wallet was gone, so how could she have money?
She said sheepishly: "I'm powerless. Don't you have any money on you?"
I searched everywhere, except for a wet ten-dollar note in my pocket, where else would I find money?
Sister Chu Chu said that she was about to get off the ground and said: "No, call my dad first and ask him to send some money! I will go out with you!"
I saw her shaky look and said, "Forget it, you're like this, it's not going to work. You'd better lie down on the bed and sleep!"
"I'm much better!" Sister Chu Chu said, shaking her head and saying: "Let's go!"
Since she said so, this is the only way to go. After all, we will cause trouble to the fishermen and their family.
When the aunt saw that I had taken my wife out, she asked, "Why don't you let your wife lie down for a while? Women are weak and not as good as men. If his wife goes back and lies down!"
Sister Chu Chu was stunned and asked me: "When did I become your wife?"
I pinched Sister Chu Chu and said: "Forget it, you are not afraid of slanting shadows if you are upright!"
Sister Chu Chu said aggrievedly: "Does this have anything to do with my wife?"
"Ahem!" I pulled her out.
After I came out, I took a closer look and discovered that the location where the fisherman's family lived was not a good location. The house was too low and rarely saw sunlight!
Sister Chu Chu seemed to have noticed it too, and said, "When my dad gets the money, I will buy them a big house!"
I smiled and nodded, then suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, where did you ask your dad to send the money?"
Sister Chu Chu was stunned and said: "Oh, I forgot that my bank card is also in the wallet!"
"Hey, idiot! What should we do now?" I put my hand on top of my head and went to the fisherman's house to ask my aunt: "Aunt, what is your bank card number?"
The aunt smiled and shook her head and said: "Hey, how can we save money in the bank? What's wrong, young man?"
"Oh, that's it, my wife..."
Sister Chu Chu stretched out her hand and pinched me when she heard my name. I held back the pain and continued: "She is going to ask for some money from her father. In this case, forget it, aunt, let's go shopping first!"
Now, even if your father gives you money, you still have to have a place to send money, right? Now that you don’t even have your ID card, it’s really hard to do anything!
Sister Chu Chu said: "No, I have to call my father and ask him to send someone to deliver a sum of money in person!"
"oh!"
"Xiaohua, please give me the ten dollars in your hand first! I'll call the public phone!" Sister Chu Chu said and stretched out her hand.
I couldn't put it down and touched the crumpled ten-dollar note in my hand, and said: "Sister Chu Chu, it's just a phone call. It doesn't cost as much as ten yuan?"
Sister Chu Chu said: "Don't I want to say more?"
"Come on, come on!" I said, "Go to the public telephone room first!"
The two of them were walking and looking around. Sister Chu Chu said: "Where is this place? Why is it so dilapidated?"
I stretched out my index finger, made a silent expression, and said: "Shh, Sister Chuchu, don't talk nonsense!"
Sure enough, several middle-aged women passing by us looked at Sister Chu Chu, the instigator, with a sullen face. Sister Chu Chu stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and really did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The two of them walked and walked, and finally saw a decent store with the words "Grocery Store" written on it.
There are a lot of people coming in and out inside.
There is a shabby wooden sign hanging on it, with the words "Public telephone, regular calls, 50 cents per minute, long-distance calls, 1 yuan per minute" written on it.
Sister Chu Chu said: "Sure enough, there is no perfect path!"
I smiled and said: "This is great!"
The two people rushed into the grocery store. There were all kinds of goods inside, from food for eating to household appliances. It was really a dazzling array of things to see!
I walked up and said, "Make a call!"
The landlady, a very fat woman, was holding a pack of biscuits in her hand and chewing them. When she heard what I said, she said, "Are you making a regular call or a long-distance call?"
"long haul!"
"Tell me the number and I'll dial it for you. You don't know, but on our phone, the number '4' is not very flexible. If someone else presses it, it won't show up!"
Ahem, this place is indeed very backward, and the phone is broken but it is not willing to repair it! I smiled and said: "Thank you very much!" Then I reached out and poked Sister Chu Chu's shoulder and said: "Phone number?
Hey, phone number, don’t be stunned?”
Sister Chu Chu scratched her head in embarrassment and said pitifully: "I, I don't remember!"
