Chapter 246: The Fisherman in the Sunset

I sat on the reef by the sea and the sun slanted to the west. When the tide gradually rose to the simple pier piled up with soil, I saw a fishing boat returning from the sunset.

This is a small fishing boat only seven or eight meters long, and a small diesel engine on the fishing boat roars.After the fishing boat docked beside the small pier, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out from the shed of the fishing boat. He fixed the fishing boat to the pier with a cable, and then moved a basket from the boat to the shore.

I saw baskets filled with all kinds of marine fish that I had never seen before.

After the uncle came ashore, he looked at me, and then at the travel bag I put beside him.He walked up to me with a puzzled expression and said something to me in local dialect.I didn't understand, so I smiled apologetically at him.He probably understood that I was a foreigner. He hesitated for a while, probably thinking about how to say it in Mandarin.

"Young man, I saw you sitting here all afternoon, you will be fine!" He said with a worried expression, and looked at my travel bag again while speaking.

Only then did I realize that he had seen me a long time ago. To be honest, his fishing boat was too small to go far out to sea, but the sun shone too brightly on the sea so I didn't notice him.

I smiled at him, listening to his tone, I think he must have misunderstood, probably from my melancholy expression after sitting motionless by the seaside for the whole afternoon, I thought there was something I couldn't think about!

"Uncle, I just want to see the sea, nothing to do!" I said to him with a smile.

The uncle’s puzzled expression was not resolved. He looked up at the vast sea and said, “What’s so beautiful about the sea? Aren’t you cold when the wind is so strong?” He has lived by the sea all year round and is familiar with the magnificence of the sea, so he doesn’t care about it. I can't understand the feeling of a newcomer like me.

"Looking at your appearance, you must have traveled a long way. It's getting dark soon. Do you have a place to live? If not, follow me to my house. I caught a lot of sea prawns, and they were big. I asked the old lady to make them for you." you eat!"

He smiled and spoke to me in earthy Mandarin, showing his crooked teeth, and turned the bamboo basket upside down to show me the prawns he caught. They were really big.

I saw that his expression was simple and did not seem to be deliberately polite, so I nodded at him!When he saw that I agreed to his invitation, he immediately beamed with joy.What a hospitable man, I thought.

So I followed him to his home. During the conversation on the road, I learned that his surname was Wang, and most people in their village had the surname Wang, so I called him Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang's house is in the east of the village. Although it is also a brick and tile house, the interior of the room is quite comfortable, and the heat preservation measures are well done. As soon as you walk into the house, you feel warm.

The six tile-roofed houses facing each other are surrounded by a huge courtyard, which is quiet and cozy. I fell in love with it as soon as I entered the courtyard.This kind of idyllic life is rare in this society, but it is the kind of peaceful and far-reaching feeling that I am looking forward to from the bottom of my heart!

Uncle Wang's wife is a middle-aged woman with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Although she is dressed in plain clothes, her charming body also reveals a hint of wealth.After Uncle Wang told her my purpose of coming, she greeted me warmly, and then took the fish that Uncle Wang had caught into the kitchen.

Uncle Wang let me onto the kang, and chatted with me cheerfully.During the conversation, I learned that there are more than [-] families in their village, and the young people have gone out to work. They live by raising sea creatures by the sea. Although they can't make a lot of money, their lives are worry-free.

He proudly told me that he has a daughter who is a college student who works in a bank in the county. If I don't leave in a hurry, I can see her on weekends.

I think he must have regarded her daughter as the greatest achievement in his life.

When he learned that I was not in a hurry to leave, he invited me to visit his house again on the weekend, and I readily agreed.I have fallen in love with this warm, simple and hospitable uncle during the not too long time together.

So when I asked him if there was any house nearby that could be rented, he pondered for a while and asked my purpose of coming here.

I told him that I didn't come here for any purpose, but because I had nowhere to go and I liked it, so I wanted to stay here for a while.

Although he didn't quite understand what I said, he didn't think much about it.But quickly helped me solve the problem.

He told me that his brother had a house that had been left unused for several years because his family moved to the city. If I didn't dislike the shabby house, I could live there.

I suddenly felt happy, so I asked him how to pay the rent.

He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to pay, the house has been abandoned after he moved out, and he can't come back. It didn't just collapse in the end! If someone takes care of it, it can last for a few more years!" "

I was a little hesitant, thinking that living in other people's houses for nothing is not very good after all!Seeing that I was silent, Uncle Wang patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Young people don't have to think so much, I can decide this matter. If you have any doubts in your heart, I will call him and tell him One sound and that's it!"

I nodded, thinking it was necessary, so I let him decide.

So, he really immediately took out an old man's mobile phone with buttons and dialed it.After a few simple sentences, the matter was finalized by him.

I was delighted, and felt a little more cordial to this lovely old man.

So I also confessed some of my things to him, but of course I had some reservations. I told him that I was sentenced to prison for an economic dispute, and now I just got out of prison, and I don’t want to stay in the same place anymore , so I came here casually.

Although I have concealed a lot, these words are not deceitful, and there is no need to say more about other sad things.

Fortunately, when I observed Uncle Wang's expression, he didn't show any strange eyes. Obviously, he didn't reject the fact that I had been in prison, at least it seemed so, which made me feel a little relieved.

Soon Aunt Wang finished the dishes. I have to say that the dishes made by Aunt Wang tasted great. A plate of sea prawns was especially delicious, which made me very satisfied.

Uncle Wang also took out a bottle of wine, but I politely declined due to stomach problems, which made him regretful.

After the meal, Uncle Wang didn't ask me if I would like to stay for the night, so he asked Aunt Wang to help me make a bed in the opposite house and let me rest!

That night, I lay in the warm quilt and listened to the sound of the wind and the faint sound of the waves, which made my heart gradually quiet down, and soon fell into sleep.

The next day Uncle Wang took me to the courtyard he mentioned. This is a courtyard located on a small hill by the sea, and you can see the sea from outside the fence.

The layout of the courtyard is the same as that of Uncle Wang's, but it looks a little desolate because it has not been populated for a long time.

Uncle Wang handed me the key and left. He said that today the seafood merchant will come, and he will go to the beach to salvage the mature seafood, and he will have to be busy for a while.I thanked him and he left.

I used the key to open the slightly rusted iron lock. Since it hadn't been opened for a long time, it took me a lot of effort to open it.

There was a strong smell of dilapidation in the house, probably as Uncle Wang said, the owner here never came back to clean up after leaving!I looked around and saw that several pieces of old solid wood furniture were no longer usable, and the wall coverings were also peeling off.

Fortunately, the tiles on the roof are still intact, and there is no sign of rain leakage inside the house. The doors and windows can be used normally after simple repairs.

I am not disappointed by this, on the contrary, this secluded courtyard makes me faintly happy. If I can really settle down here, it will undoubtedly be a very good place to live, of course, this is only for me!

I put down my luggage and started to tidy up. I moved out the unusable and rotten furniture, cleaned it from inside to outside, and took water from a well in the courtyard to scrub the doors and windows again.

After doing all this, I went to the town to buy some wallpaper and a bucket of paint, and put wallpaper on the peeling walls, and repainted a few doors, and the dilapidated scene suddenly became Freshen up.

I was busy until noon. When Uncle Wang came back, I was filling up the cracks in the kang with clay. He entered the room and looked around with a look of surprise on his face. He probably didn’t expect that this house would be replaced by me in a long time. Looking at his face, seeing his surprised expression, I couldn't help but feel a little proud!

After two more meals at Uncle Wang's house that day, I moved into my new home that night.I borrowed Uncle Wang's tricycle and went to the town to buy new bedding, some simple daily necessities, and pots and pans. With these things, I think I can live here.

As for my future source of income, I am not worried about it. I still have the money left over from the transfer of the silversmith shop. Although it is not much, I think I can survive in such an environment for a long time without worrying about my livelihood.Besides, I am able-bodied, so it must not be difficult to support myself alone.

In the next few days, I have been taking care of my so-called new home. Although I don't know how long I will stay here, I want to verify what the old monk said, and I want to see if I can really find a new life as he said.

I used the tools left by the previous owner of the house to clean up the dead grass in the yard, and re-hooped the head of the well with cement. I put some lubricating oil on the rusted door lock, and it became much more flexible in an instant.

This weekend, I finally met Uncle Wang's proud daughter. Her name is Wang Xiaoyu. She is a petite and delicate girl with big eyes that look very lively.After seeing me, she would be unconsciously shy, as clean as a piece of uncut jade, simple and pure.

I had learned before that that the old couple had been married for more than ten years before they had this daughter. Naturally, they loved her very much, which can be seen from the way they looked at their daughter.

The thing that makes them most proud is that Xiaoyu not only got admitted to a well-known domestic university, but also found a job as a bank clerk after graduation. An example people use to motivate their own children.

At the dinner table, they couldn't help boasting about her daughter to me, which made the little girl feel a little embarrassed, and kept complaining about her parents.Seeing her blushing and being inconvenient because of me, an outsider, made me feel funny and envious. Happiness can be simple, but many people can't ask for it no matter what!
