Lou Jianguo's daughter-in-law waited eagerly for a long time, but she never saw her ship. The string in her heart became tighter and tighter. She closed her eyes and continued to stand on tiptoes and looked toward the port, thinking "South" in her heart.
"No Amitabha", he prayed to all the gods he knew, hoping that the father and son would return safely.
At this time, a familiar woman next to her bumped her with her elbow: "Cai Feng, that's your family's culture, right? Why are you on someone else's big boat? Do you still have your man on your fishing boat... Hey, you
Jia Jianguo is also on the big ship..."
"Where? Where?" Zhou Caifeng's eyes flashed with light, and she grabbed the woman's hand and searched desperately.
Finally, she saw the father and son happily waving to her on a giant ship that she had never seen before.
The living father and son, with both beards and tails, are back safely. How great!
Two lines of hot tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She squeezed through the crowd and tried her best to get closer to the ship.
When her son and the men disembarked one by one, she couldn't bear it any longer, hugged the father and son and cried loudly.
The same goes for other fishermen who were rescued by salvage boats. They were surrounded by family members who were crying with joy and asked about the situation.
"It can be considered a meritorious deed." Mr. Fu clapped his hands and asked Qi Hui, who was chewing squid shreds beside him, "Do you think so? As the old saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's do this
You have built several pagodas, which are of great merit!"
Seeing Qi Hui's confused face, Lu Chixiao knew that he didn't understand.
That's right, interstellar visitors don't understand these earthly cultures.
He curled his lips, lowered his head and smiled, then changed the subject: "When we return to the fjord next time, do you want to drive or take a boat?"
He couldn't wait to share this discovery with his child's mother.
"It doesn't matter, just decide." Mr. Fu said.
"Then we won't go ashore." Lu Chixiao looked at his watch and said, "Leave now? Turn around and ask Lao Chen to send someone to drive back."
"OK."
Therefore, when Lou Jianguo and other fishermen rescued by the salvage boat were about to introduce their saviors to their families, they found that the salvage boat had left the shore again.
Everyone looked at each other and unanimously knelt down with their family members facing the direction of the ship and kowtowed three times respectfully.
"Mr. Lu! I will definitely work on your ship after I graduate!"
After Lou Wenwen kowtowed, he asked the staff at the dock to borrow a small loudspeaker and shouted to the ship.
It was unclear whether the people on the boat heard it or not, but the people on the dock could hear it clearly.
"Culture, how did you think of working on a ship? Then your four years of technical secondary school were not in vain?"
People he knew asked him. Elders all think the same thing.
"How can you read in vain? Salvage ships also need mechanics, who are professional ones!" Lou Wenhua retorted without thinking.
"A mechanic on a ship? What's the future? If you work in a factory, you can still get promoted. If you perform well, you can become a workshop director in the future. If you do well, you can be considered a cadre. What kind of career can a mechanic at sea have? There are risks in going to sea, such as typhoons.
Ah, it's too dangerous to hit the rocks! When it comes to culture, you should listen to your father and stop thinking blindly. There are plenty of opportunities to repay life-saving grace, so don't risk your own future!"
"That's right! Jianguo, don't you also oppose culture and become a sailor? Hurry up and persuade me! Every child will make irrational decisions in a hurry. If you are an adult, if you don't stop it, it will be too late to regret it!"
Lou Wenhua couldn't help but want to roll his eyes: What kind of child is this? He is already over 18 and is about to graduate from technical secondary school. How about a real adult?
But before he could reply, his mother said something before him:
"What do you regret? I think Culture's decision was right!"
Zhou Caifeng just heard from her husband that the father and son's boat was capsized by a wave and they almost died. They were rescued by a salvage boat. Originally, she wanted to invite her savior to sit at home and have a simple meal, but he didn't.
The good thing was done quietly without leaving a name. Now I saw that everyone was unanimous in saying that they all disliked the job of seafarers, and I couldn't help but feel angry.
"What's wrong with the seamen? I just saved you, and then you turn around and say bad things about them? Also, do you know what a salvage ship is for? It's a ship that specializes in salvaging treasure ships that sank at the bottom of the sea in ancient times. Do you understand a ship that specializes in salvaging antiques? Why?
Is there no future? Anyway, I support our family’s culture, even if it’s just to repay the favor, I think it’s worth it! Without Mr. Lu and the salvage ship, how would there be the founding and culture that is back alive today? Son, you can go if you want! Mom supports you!”
Without Mr. Lu and the salvage boat, she would have been a widow today. What is more important than that the whole family can live safely and healthily?
Yes, after graduating from technical secondary school, instead of working in a stable factory, choosing to go to sea with ocean-going ships, it sounds very unworthy. Here in Haicheng, those who work as seamen either have poor family backgrounds and cannot afford to study, or they are not qualified to study.
After graduating from elementary school or junior high school, I didn’t want to go to school anymore, and I couldn’t find an ideal job, so I asked someone to work on those ocean-going ships. When my neighbors talked about it, it was really shameful.
But how much is face worth per pound?
Of course, Zhou Caifeng definitely didn’t think so in the past. Not only had she just experienced the tragedy of her father and son almost dying in the ocean, and her almost becoming a widow, she had to admit: before life and death, everything else was trivial!
Lou Wenhua immediately grinned: "I knew you would agree, Mom."
After speaking, he glanced at his father and couldn't help but laugh.
His smile was so cute that he deserved to be beaten.
Lou Jianguo took off his cloth shoes angrily and pretended to slap him.
Lou Wenhua Pipi smiled and dodged.
Lou Jianguo was angry and funny. He pinched his shoes and pointed at him, then glanced at his mother-in-law resentfully.
"Why didn't you stop him? Why did you allow him to go? That kind of ocean-going ship is not like a small fishing boat like ours when it goes out to sea. If you go today and come back tomorrow, you won't see anyone for at least three to five months. It's far away.
It might take half a year or a year."
"That's better than burping!" Zhou Caifeng rolled her eyes at him angrily, "I asked you to strengthen the ship a few years ago, but who is reluctant to spend that money and just make do with it if it's still strong? Now it's better
Right? Did something go wrong? The ship was lost, and I almost lost my life. If Mr. Lu and others hadn't been so warm-hearted and saw the past and saved you, otherwise, let alone three to five months, half a year, I would have been alive for the rest of my life.
I can’t even see his people!”
"..."
What he said made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.
Lou Jianguo scratched his head and said flatteringly: "How about I ask Mr. Lu if the ship can recruit anyone besides seamen? Our whole family can make a living on his ship! You see, I can cook well and be a cook.
You are nimble and can wash their clothes..."
Now it was Zhou Caifeng's turn to choke.
But then I thought about it: What’s wrong? A family of three is living together, where is it not life?
Anyway, there are no old people here anymore, and the brothers and sisters are not very close, so the family of three seems to have no worries about moving away from here.
