1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 159: Earning Money by Diving Under the Sea

These days, the day and night have been reversed again. Liang Ziqiang is not as sleepy anymore and has more energy.

Not long after dinner, the two prepared to go back to their room to sleep.

When he walked to the door of his little room, he saw Duobao had taken half a snakeskin bag from somewhere and was spreading it outside his little room...

"What is Duobao doing?" He was confused by the puppy's magical operation.

"Making the bed, can't you see that? When it saw we were about to go back to the room to sleep, it brought the bag and used it as a bed sheet, spreading it outside the door. During the time you went out to sea at night, it did this all the time, using the snakeskin bag as a cushion to guard outside the door, and would not get up until the morning, then take the snakeskin bag away again!" Chen Xiangbei told him.

"Sleeping on the floor, what is it doing?" Liang Ziqiang was shocked. This dog has learned to sleep on the floor in order to accompany its owner outside the small room!

He didn't know how to say Duobao.

You say it is not well-behaved? It stays outside the door every night to help Chen Xiangbei sleep more soundly.

You say it's well-behaved, it's obvious that he came back to sleep at night, but it continued to sleep on the floor outside the door, which is a bit inconsiderate...

"Duobao, let me tell you, the weather is getting cold now. Be obedient and sleep in the straw pile in your own firewood room!" Liang Ziqiang explained to Duobao.

Duobao wagged his tail and nodded, seeming to agree with it. Then he lowered his head and continued to smooth the snakeskin bag with his mouth, then lay down and didn't move...

He still couldn't persuade him! He decided to take action and directly pulled out its snakeskin bag, intending to take its bed away.

Duobao was very dissatisfied and followed him, complaining all the time.

Liang Ziqiang had just taken two steps when he suddenly looked up and saw Lizhi coming towards him. He was startled and immediately changed his mind, and took the snakeskin bag back to his door.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. You can't leave now! If you want to sleep, just sleep here!"

In a flash, the reason for the sudden change of mind was all because of litchi.

He suddenly remembered that Lizhi had a history of eavesdropping near the door of him and Chen Xiangbei, and this bad behavior might not be completely changed. Anyway, the probability of intermittent attacks was quite high.

With Duobao lying on the floor outside the door, Liang Lizhi certainly couldn't sneak over and eavesdrop. Duobao wouldn't bite her, but he would definitely curse and make a fuss until he drove her away.

Why didn't he think of this wonderful use of Duobao! This is more than just a treasure, it is multifunctional.

I almost made a mistake just now.

He personally laid out the snakeskin bag mat for Duobao again, but Duobao tilted his head and looked at him with an expression that said "What on earth are you doing?"

She stood there hesitating for a long time, and finally looked at him with a look that said "You humans are so complicated" and lay down.

When I returned to the room and locked the door, Chen Xiangbei was already in bed.

The two chatted for a while, and Liang Ziqiang started to get active, thinking that everyone in the family was asleep.

"Don't..." She blocked his hand.

"what happened?"

"Mom specifically told me this morning that we can't be together during the first three months of pregnancy and the last three months... and don't do the things we did before!" Chen Xiangbei held it in for a long time before finally making herself clear.

"You mean this? I know!" In the first three months of pregnancy, there is a fear of miscarriage, and in the last three months, there is a fear of premature birth, so certain things should be avoided. How could Liang Ziqiang not know this?

"I know you're not going to be ashamed as I am!"

"Hey! Don't you have a pair of skillful hands? If my wife works hard, happiness will come naturally..."

"What is that..." She was confused.

"Don't you understand? Don't you have bananas planted in your orchard? How do you usually pick bananas?" Liang Ziqiang asked patiently and encouragingly.

"Oh, then I understand. I usually use a sickle to cut the crops!" Chen Xiangbei said frankly.

When Liang Ziqiang heard this, his whole body trembled in pain and cold sweat broke out.

Wife, there is definitely something wrong with your method. If I really follow your method, I won't be able to have a second child.

He decided to teach her a whole new kind of orchard knowledge. He held her hand and led her over...

"What are you doing?" She was embarrassed and annoyed, "I can't!"

"You can learn if you don't know how to do it. I know you learn quickly. Wife, I believe in you..."

That night, Liang Ziqiang truly realized that a man's happiness lies in the hands of his wife. ...

In the next few days, Liang Ziqiang did not go out to sea every day. He just drove his boat to the sea surface every few days in broad daylight to collect the submarine fish.

There is little point in casting nets on the sea surface, but instead it is more about traps on the seabed. This type of trap is set on the seabed, and those fish that sink to the bottom of the sea because they are afraid of the cold will fall into the trap.

So the situation is reversed, and the effect of seabed netting is actually stronger than casting a net on the sea surface.

There was no need for two people just to retrieve the underwater boat. Liang Zifeng did not come, so Liang Ziqiang drove the boat alone to the vicinity of Guanqi Island.

Not long after leaving the small pier, we saw Li Liang's boat coming from another pier on the shore.

"Why are you alone today? Where's Deng Zhaocai? He's really addicted to diving into the sea. Why isn't he coming out today?" Liang Ziqiang asked casually when he saw that Li Liang was the only one on the other boat.

"His mother is sick again. As you know, his brother and sister-in-law never care about their mother. It's all up to Acai to take care of her. He has been taking care of his mother these days and can't go out to sea. He said it was a fish that had escaped from the seabed, so he decided to leave it in the water for a few more days and come back to fish it out when he has time!" Li Liang revealed.

"This guy..." Liang Ziqiang only said two words, not knowing what words to use to evaluate Deng Zhaocai.

Deng Zhaocai lost his father very early. His mother worked hard all the time and became a sickly woman in recent years. She has to take medicine all year round. From time to time, her condition gets worse and she has to go to the hospital.

Ever since Deng's mother fell ill, Deng Zhaocai's brother and sister-in-law have completely abandoned her. Usually, Deng Zhaocai is the only one who supports her, takes care of her when she is sick, and buys medicine and takes her to the hospital.

But to be honest, after working together on night hunts for so long, Liang Ziqiang had never heard a word of complaint from Ah Cai.

He took care of his seriously ill mother on his own as if it was his natural duty. His brother and sister-in-law seemed to have no existence to him.

Who would have imagined that a notorious evil star in the whole village, a reckless man like Lu Zhishen, would come home, pick up a bowl and feed his mother medicine and food, and wash her diapers by himself?

One is the unreasonable Deng Zhaocai who is accused of being inhuman, and the other is the careful and considerate Deng Zhaocai who takes on the responsibility of humanity alone in the broken house.

Liang Ziqiang couldn't tell which one was him.

It was precisely because of his poor family conditions that Deng Zhaocai never had his own boat. While working as a helper for his friend Li Liang, he relied on riding Li Liang's boat and sailing on the bottom of the sea to earn money to support his family.

At this moment, Liang Ziqiang and Li Liang were silent for a while, and neither of them said anything more about Deng Zhaocai's matter. They each fished up their own things from the bottom of the sea.

Liang Ziqiang scooped up the first net and fished it from the bottom of the sea. He felt the catch was okay, but there were too many miscellaneous fish.

After scooping up another net, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted to Li Liang:

"Damn it, what a shitty look I had today, I even misjudged the buoy and pulled up Ah Cai's underwater dive!"

Li Liang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after a while his voice came back:
"Fuck, my eyesight is no better than yours. I also misjudged the float and wasted my energy to fish out Ah Cai's fish!"

Across the rippling sea, the men on both boats suddenly laughed:

"Let's go all out. Anyway, we won't be casting a wide net today, so we have plenty of time. Why don't we just catch all the fish for Ah Cai, that idiot? We can go back and sell them to Zheng Liu, and give the money to Ah Cai. It won't interfere with our business at all!"

"Alright, let's just make the best of a bad situation and help him get all the money! Damn Ah Cai, this saves us a lot of effort!"

The two of them did not discuss it beforehand, but they worked more coordinated than if they had discussed it. They helped Ah Cai catch all the ten sea bass with one net after another.

"Aqiang, how are you doing? I've taken several pictures in a row, but there aren't many whitebait fish." Li Liang collected a few pictures of seafloor bream and asked loudly.

"I have the same one, but there are not enough plum fish, and the extra ones are all miscellaneous fish worth a few cents!" Liang Ziqiang replied.

He found that the number of Mei Tongyu had decreased, whether it was the Haidiqian that he had collected for Deng Zhaocai or the ones that he had collected for himself.

In fact, this is not the first day that this situation has occurred. The number of plum fish has been gradually decreasing during this period, but it just seems more obvious today.

Normally, the number of fish close to the seabed should not decrease drastically due to weather reasons. The most likely possibility is that the seabed fish have been released in the Guanqi Island area for too long, and the number of sea bream in this area is also limited.

"It seems that we have almost caught all the whitebait around here. It's time to move to a place with more fish so that we can release a few more rounds before the end of the year. Which island is suitable? It has to be like Guanqi Island and not too far away." Li Liang pondered.

"How about Xiangluo Island? I've caught plum carp there before, so there might be a lot of them under the water. Do you want to try there?" Liang Ziqiang was also interested, and after thinking about it, he suggested.
