Along the way, we only stopped at Nankou Port for one day to purchase sufficient fuel, rice, noodles, fresh vegetables and other necessities, and then continued driving home without stopping.
I originally wanted to buy some more yellow beef when I passed through Guang'an County, but the cold storage was still full. I set a net several times along the way and caught a lot of good things. I didn't have time to eat them, and I couldn't bear to release them. After all, things like yellow-lip fish and blue lobsters,
The best seafood, such as wild large yellow croaker, is not something you have a chance to catch every time you set off the net.
We did not stop in Guang'an County, and our return journey was faster than our departure. Therefore, although we were delayed for ten days by the tornado, our overall journey was only two or three days later than expected.
Although Xu Xiuyuan's family is concerned, they are not worried.
This morning, Lin Guodong was preparing to go to sea.
Xu Xiuyuan warned him: "You can cast a few nets along the route they took out to sea and see if they come back! It will be August soon. If you don't come back, what will happen if there is a typhoon!"
Little did I know that my niece had already encountered a tornado that was more terrifying than a typhoon.
"well."
Lin Guodong always obeyed his mother-in-law's advice. After setting up the sail, he sailed along the route taken by his niece to the sea.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
The fishing boat moved forward at a constant speed, and when it came to the opening that it must pass to go to sea, Lin Guodong was ready to lower the net.
Although there are not many fish and shrimps in this area, if you can catch half of the net with one net, it will be great!
But didn't his mother-in-law tell him to take the opportunity to see if his niece and the others were back? So he planned to set down the net here, then slowly drag it forward for a while, and then turn back.
It cost a little money on fuel, but at least I was able to get it together. If you dare not do what the mother-in-law told you to do, go back and talk about it. I can’t afford to offend menopausal women!
At this moment, the roar of waves breaking was heard from ahead.
Lin Guodong glanced through the window glass and his eyes suddenly lit up: If this isn't his niece's yacht, what is it?
He no longer bothered to put down the net, ran up to the deck, and waved to the yacht that was coming straight: "Axiao! Come on!"
"Uncle!"
The yacht slows down and approaches.
Xu Suizhu poked his head out of the side window, "Uncle, why are you fishing here? Didn't you say there is nothing fancy here?"
Because there are too many fishing boats here, the number of fish, shrimps and crabs is getting smaller and smaller.
"Hehe..." Lin Guodong scratched his head and smiled honestly, "Your aunt urged me to come and see if you are back. She likes to worry! She is afraid that if you come back late, you will catch a typhoon... Just come back! Are you exhausted?
Go back and rest quickly, I will take your aunt to the island later and cook for you..."
"Uncle." Xu Suizhu said with a smile, "Guess who I took home with me?"
"Who?" Lin Guodong glanced at the yacht in confusion.
"Brother, I'm back!"
Xu Tiejun stood next to Xu Suizhu, pursed his lips, held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and repeated with a choked voice, "Brother, I'm home! I'm home!"
Lin Guodong thought he was old, deaf, and heard wrongly, so he rubbed his ears desperately, but his eyes couldn't see wrong, right? The person on the other side of the yacht was as black as tung oil, but his outline and facial features...
"Tie Jun?" He couldn't believe it, "Is it you? Tie Jun!"
"It's me! Brother! I'm Tiejun, I'm back!"
Lin Guodong is not much better than Xu Tiejun. No matter how hard or tired he is, this old man would never turn his eyes red. Now he is crying across the side of the boat: "It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive! Your sister has been crying for I don't know how many days."
Day and night! I thought you..."
"I've made you worry! Over the past few years, I have been thinking about it every day and every night, hoping to come back..."
They cried to each other.
The others wiped their eyes, but no one interrupted.
Until Lin Guodong realized that the two of them were still separated by a boat! He couldn't help crying and laughing: "Tie Jun, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we go home! I will go back to pick up your sister, and you guys go back to Fuju Island first!"
"Uncle, call my cousin here too. Our family is reunited today and no one can be left behind!" Xu Suizhu said with a smile.
"Don't worry! If that kid knows that his uncle is back, he will definitely run faster than me!"
This is indeed the case.
Lin Guodong returned to the fishing ground without catching any fish. He just jumped off the boat. Lin Jianbing, who was cleaning the fence with Da Gao, stopped him in confusion: "Dad, didn't you go to sea? Are you back so soon?"
"They are back!" Lin Guodong was anxious to go home and inform his mother-in-law. He said without looking back, "You pack up and go over."
"Oh! Counting the time, it's time to come back!" Lin Jianbing nodded.
Thinking of his son and daughter who went out to sea with his cousin's family for so many days, it was impossible not to miss them. He said happily, "Then I will go there later. But Dad, come back with them, you can wait."
That’s right, why bother coming all the way back…”
"Why don't you come back in time for such a happy occasion like your uncle's return? I'll call your mother and we'll go to Fuju Island together later."
"Who?" Lin Jianbing dug his ears.
His uncle? His uncle has been dead for twelve years. Where can he find another uncle?
"That's right, it's your uncle! He didn't die back then... Oh, we'll talk about this later. I'll call your mother first to make her happy..."
"My uncle is not dead? Is he still alive?" Lin Jianbing was dumbfounded for a long time, then he reacted and jumped three feet high: "Dagao, I leave this place to you! I want to see my uncle!"
Mom and dad didn't wait any longer, jumped on the rainbow-colored fishing boat "Chengfeng", and sailed to Fuju Island at full speed through the wind and waves.
On this day, Fuju Island was as lively as a temple fair!
Relatives and neighbors from far and near who are close to the Xu family and have some acquaintances with the Xu family. When they heard that Xu Tiejun was still alive and was picked up by his daughter and son-in-law on a yacht, those with fishing boats set sail and those without fishing boats took passenger boats. They came from all directions.
Come to Fuju Island.
Xu Suizhu saw that there were so many guests, all coming to see her father. Whether it was out of curiosity, gossip, or genuine concern, in any case, she was concerned, so after discussing with Baozi's father, they put them on the big lawn of the resort.
Nine tables of flowing seats.
The word "Nine" has a homophonic pronunciation, which means long-lasting. From now on, the family will reunite and never be separated again.
The main reason was that there were not enough round countertops on the island, and all the available ones were taken out. Only nine tables could be managed, so we could only set up flowing tables for guests to come and eat. After dinner, they went to the teahouse to drink tea with her father and chat.
After Lin Jianbing hugged his uncle and cried bitterly, he wiped away his tears, sailed back to the fishing ground, picked up big fish, prawns, fat crabs... filled several large baskets, and transported them back to Fuju Island.
Throughout the whole day, food was served on the flowing table without interruption.
Relatives and friends who made a special trip to the island to visit Xu Tiejun not only saw Xu Tiejun alive, but also feasted on a free meal, and went back satisfied.
Xu Xiuyuan was the most excited of all. When the man said that her brother was not dead and had come back, she was so excited that she fainted.
The man pinched her with all his hands and feet, and after being revived by pouring cold water on her, she cried all the way to Fuju Island. Those who didn't know it thought something had happened to the Lin family.
