1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 64 Longline Fishing Man

 Because of the sudden visit from the old lady.

The whole family was put into a bad mood, and grandma Chen Huiying was very depressed. He didn't even wait for the stubborn old lady's apology.

Unexpectedly, she immediately suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

This left her with no room to relieve the bad breath in her heart.

She understood that she would probably never wait until the day when the old lady apologized to her.

Li Yaoguo also got the longevity lock given to him by his third uncle. He sighed repeatedly when he saw his name engraved on it.

 The next day, early in the morning.

Li Duoyu ran to the pier and spent thirty yuan to collect a bundle of longline fishing gear from the owner of the pier who specialized in selling fishing gear.

 As a fisherman who was born by the sea, it is obviously impossible for him to fish with a fishing rod.

 For Li Duoyu.

 When you go fishing at sea, it’s a bit embarrassing if you don’t bring hundreds of row hooks with you.

 Li Duoyu greeted Chen Wenchao.

To engage in longline fishing, at least two people are required. It is really difficult for one person to do it.

 Wait until the native dog comes.

 Li Duoyu went to the fishmonger Lao Zhuang at the pier and bought about 20 kilograms of miscellaneous fish and shrimps, mostly Balang fish and sword shrimps.

It’s a pity that no one digs things like sea centipedes now, otherwise they would be better used as fish bait than fish and shrimps.

This time he also brought a big bucket and bought several injection needles from his fellow doctor.

 The purpose is to enliven things.

After everything was ready, Li Duoyu drove the sampan boat to the Xijia Reef not far from Dandan Island.

 In their area, fishermen generally call small islands that have no fresh water, vegetation, and are all rocks called reefs.

Sijia Reef is five or six kilometers away from Tandan Island. It is only one-twentieth of the size of Tandan Island and is surrounded by reefs and gravel.

 Large ships generally avoid Saijia Reef.

Those trawlers dare not come here to lower their nets, and even the fishermen who lower their nets have a headache in this sea area.

 When we go down, the net is good, but when we put it away, it is always cut into a mess by the rocks. In this era when fishing nets are not cheaper than fish, fishermen are not willing to come to Xijia Reef to set their nets.

Also because of this special geographical environment.

 The ecology of Xijia Reef has not suffered particularly serious damage. Even in later generations, it is still a holy place for fishing in the minds of many fishermen.

Several fishing friends have caught wild perch weighing several dozen kilograms, also called giant grouper, near Xijia Reef, and sold them for tens of thousands of yuan.

When Li Duoyu, a small sampan, arrived at Xijia Reef, he immediately realized the terror of the sea.

 The waves are more than half a meter high.

It can be clearly felt that the waves in this sea area are particularly fierce. When they hit the rocks, they can splash up to two or three heights of water.

 In some places, strange whirlpools appeared when the waves returned.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was a little timid about coming to fish in a place like this, but Chen Wenchao, a native dog, sat on the board of the boat and yawned.

Li Duoyu discovered that over the years, everyone had called him the wrong nickname. He should not be called a native dog, but should be called a water dog.

 As long as it’s not by car.

 He looks very relaxed in the sea.

This is also the reason why Li Duoyu took him with him when he went out to sea to fish. With him there, his life safety would be further guaranteed.

Nearly thirty meters away from Sijia Reef, the sampan was rocked back and forth by the waves.

Li Duoyu threw down the buoy.

His fishing route today is very simple, which is to place these longline fishing rigs around the Xijia Reef to specifically catch the big fish nearby.

 Li Duoyu is responsible for driving the boat.

 Chen Wenchao is responsible for hanging bait and placing ropes. Usually there is one fishhook every two meters, one for Balang fish and one for shrimp.

 It’s a pity that these are dead fish and dead shrimps.

If it were alive, the effect might be better. Every time it is placed a certain distance, a stone must be tied to let the fishing rope sink to the bottom of the sea.

 It takes about an hour.

 The two of them put a kilometer long fishing rope into the sea, which was just enough to circle the Xijia Reef.    Next.

 Just wait for the fish to take the bait. This fishing method in later generations would have to wait at least one night, but in this era, Li Duoyu felt that he could reel in the rope in two or three hours.

 And it takes more than half an hour to drive back to Dandan Island from Xijia Reef, so there is no need to go back and forth.

Li Duoyu docked the boat at Xijia Reef, where the waves were slightly smaller, and then tied the boat to the reef.

 The two of them did not go to the island because there was nothing of value except bird droppings and noisy seagulls.

There are quite a lot of pencil snails (dog snails) on the rocks. They grow very well in such a windy and wavey place, and are even bigger than the pencil snails at Badwater Bay.

The difficulty of picking has increased several times. If he was not too poor to open the pot, Li Duoyu would not have planned to take such a risk.

 The two of them just waited quietly on the boat.

Li Duoyu waited for less than half an hour when he felt a little dizzy from being shaken.

 The boat is rocking while it is moving and the boat is rocking while it is still.

　　It’s really two kinds of experiences.

But the native dog Chen Wenchao was smiling silly over there. He finally couldn't help but ask:

 “Brother Yu, I want to ask you something.”

“If a woman brought rice dumplings to your family to eat on the winter solstice, what do you think she would think?”

Without even thinking about it, Li Duoyu knew that the woman was Liu Xiaolan and replied directly:

“Is it possible that she saw that your family didn’t make dumplings, so she gave you something to eat?”

 Chen Wenchao shook his head:

“That’s not possible. Yesterday my grandma and I made rice dumplings, but she still brought some to me.”

“In addition to sending gifts to your home, does she also send gifts to other neighbors?”

Hearing this, Chen Wenchao's originally good mood suddenly sank to the bottom. Brother Yu was really right. Liu Xiaolan not only gave his yuanzi, but also gave it to Zhao Dahai and Wu Yaodong.

 What does she mean?

 Does it get evenly affected by rain and dew?

Chen Wenchao had a bitter look on his face and asked, "Brother Yu, tell me why she gives dumplings to so many people."

Li Duoyu said with emotion:

“What else can I do? I’m getting married now, and I want to tie up a few more fish so that I can raise the price.”

 “Ah Brother Yu.”

 “What do you mean?”

“I mean, congratulations on becoming the subject of Liu Xiaolan’s investigation, and by the way becoming a fish in her fish pond.”

"So, she is still somewhat interested in me, and I still have a chance."

Li Duoyu was startled for a moment and thought that in the future, he should stop calling him a native dog or a water dog. Instead, he should be called a licking dog.

 While they were waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Some fishermen were driving a sampan and also arrived at the Saijia Reef, planning to lower their nets where they had placed their longline hooks.

After seeing the person clearly, Chen Wenchao cursed on the spot: "Zhao Dahai, you don't have eyes, do you? I put the fishing rope there, and you put the net next to the fishing rope."

When Zhao Dahai saw that it was local dog Chen Wenchao, he immediately yelled back: "What the hell, you have to control where I want to set the net."

 There are only two people in Chen Wenchao's family.

He belongs to a vulnerable group on Dandan Island, and during this period, he actually wanted to **** Liu Xiaolan from him. If he met him, he would definitely be killed.

Just as Zhao Dahai was about to lower the net, he heard someone shouting to him again:

 “Sea, can you find another place?”

“If you put the net down like this, my fishing ropes and your sticky net will definitely get tangled together.”

After seeing the speaker clearly, Zhao Dahai put away the sticky net on the spot and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Yu is here too. Sorry, sorry, then I will put the net in another place."

Seeing that Li Duoyu was behind him, Zhao Dahai drove the sampan away with a dark face. There were two surnames on Dandan Island that should not be messed with. One of them, surnamed Wang, was in charge of almost all the affairs of Dandan Island.

 The other one is named Li. He has a large number of people. He has many brothers and sisters in his family, and half of the village is related to them.

 There is going to be a real conflict.

 Their family must have the largest number of people.

Furthermore, he also heard from his family that the Li family had a rich background. They had many relatives over there in Rongcheng.
