Chapter 345 New Discovery of Nameless Island
All the seafood I picked up today was not sold, but served as an addition to our dinner.

Stir-fried geoduck, steamed abalone with vermicelli, blanched conch. I can't eat the prawns and clams for now, so I put them in the water and eat them tomorrow.

Chen Xiangbei is very good at steamed abalone with vermicelli, but she has never made stir-fried geoduck and blanched conch before, so she learned these two new dishes from her mother-in-law.

Every time I come back from the deep sea, I have to rest for three to four days to replenish my energy, buy supplies and do housework.

Liang Ziqiang rested until the third day, when Lin Baixian came to him and took the initiative to take him to the nameless island.

Although the number of valuable seafood on the Nameless Island is no longer as large as before, if you look carefully, you should still be able to collect some worth dozens or hundreds of dollars.

Liang Ziqiang agreed to go after being pestered by Lin Baixian. The seafood worth dozens of dollars was not very attractive to him now, but he actually had an idea in his mind, that is, he had not been to Wuming Island for a long time, and he wanted to know if the grouper had reappeared later.

After all, the environment of the Nameless Island is particularly suitable for the growth and habitat of groupers. Even if the old ones never come back, it should be possible that new groups of groupers will come here and set up camp again.

Wuming Island is not a deep sea, so Liang Ziqiang naturally drove a lotus-patterned wooden boat, which is much more fuel-efficient than a large steel ship.

When they arrived at the beach and were about to get on the boat, they unexpectedly saw Duobao playing on the road on the shore. When he saw him preparing to get on the wooden boat, he thought he had finally caught the chance and ran over excitedly.

Without waiting for his permission, he jumped onto the wooden boat.

Since Duobao had come to ask for forgiveness, Liang Ziqiang certainly didn't chase him away. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had taken Duobao out to sea.

It just so happened that the dog leash and the small vest-style noose were both stored under the deck last time, so I took them out and tied them to Duobao.

Duobao hadn't taken a boat to the sea to play in the water for a long time. Now that they were on the sea, he was eager to try and always wanted to go in the water to swim.

Today's goal is to go straight to the nameless island, so Liang Ziqiang naturally did not let it go into the water to waste time.

We drove all the way to the nameless island, parked the two boats, and immediately picked up the fishing rods to start fishing. We would know whether there were any groupers that reappeared after fishing.

At this point, Duobao was already impatient. He barked and looked at him twice, which was tantamount to asking for consent, and then jumped into the water beside the island.

The current near the island was not fast, and Duobao had a rope pulling him on the boat. He had swam through deeper seas before without any problems, so there was no need to worry here. Liang Ziqiang didn't have time to care about it, so he just let it go.

The little sea lion had been sticking to Duobao and playing all the way on the boat. Now that Duobao had gone into the water, it became even more rude and jumped down from the side of the boat and dived into the sea.

As soon as it entered the water, the usual silly thing disappeared, replaced by a figure that was like a fish in water, swimming with ease, like a dancer in the sea.

Swimming is probably a talent of sea lions. At just over four months old, they are extremely experienced in the water. Sometimes they swim freely, and sometimes they dive their whole body into the water. Anyway, they have a lot of fun.

When he appeared again, he suddenly appeared in front of Duobao, leaving Duobao stunned.

It can be seen that the little sea lion loves to play with Duobao. It is no wonder that the little thing has only seen Duobao besides the mother sea lion since it was born. In the few months of its growth, it has been confused about what roles Duobao and the mother sea lion play in its life.

Now that the mother sea lion had left without saying goodbye and never returned, it seemed that the little sea lion took it for granted that Duobao was his closest relative.

The two dogs were having a great time in the water. Liang Ziqiang took a few looks at them, then climbed up onto the reef and concentrated on fishing.

The two sat down, put on the bait, and cast the line into the water below the reef. They chatted about family matters while waiting. After a few words of idle chat, Lin Baixian suddenly asked:

"Aqiang, Xiuting came to visit your house. Did she ask your sister-in-law about Yuan Xiaomei's situation?"

"No, I haven't heard Xiangbei mention it anyway. What's the matter, does she know something?"

"I don't know if she knows about it. The main reason is that some older women in the village still talk about those things from time to time. I'm afraid that something will get to her ears. Since she didn't take the initiative to ask, she probably didn't hear those rumors." Having said that, Liang Ziqiang couldn't help but want to ask a few more questions:

"Ah Xian, it doesn't matter what others say. They are just old stories. The most important thing is you. You found someone who looks so much like Xiaomei. What were you thinking? You have been married for such a long time now. You are not still thinking about Yuan Xiaomei and thinking of your wife as her shadow, are you? I'll be frank. If that's the case, it's really not good for your wife."

"You want to hear the truth?" Lin Baixian looked at him seriously and asked.

"Nonsense, why should I waste my breath on you if you don't want to hear the truth? Besides the two of us, there are only two dogs here. You can say whatever you think. Once you leave this island, your words will be rotten in your stomach. How can those two dogs go to the village to gossip about you?"

"A Qiang, I'm not going to hide it from you. When I first saw Xiu Ting in the city, I couldn't take my eyes off her because she looked like Yuan Xiaomei. Even though I just married her, sometimes when I look at her face, I still think of Yuan Xiaomei unconsciously.

But strangely, the longer time goes by, the less this feeling becomes. Now even if I see Yuan Xiaomei face to face in the village, I no longer feel my heart pounding. On the contrary, my wife Xiuting is the one I like the most when I am at home. Now I think that I was obsessed with her for so many years. To be honest, Xiuting is really pretty, nice, lively, and kind to me..."

Lin Baixian said a lot, and Liang Ziqiang felt more relieved the more he listened.

Is this a case of finally falling in love with someone else? Or is it a case of love growing over time?

No matter what, up to now, Lin Baixian has truly come out of that knot in his heart.

"Xiuting is now three months pregnant. I have only one thought in mind. When she gives birth to the baby, I will save more money and build two new houses. Then we can live happily together."

Lin Baixian looked at the distant sea outside the reef, as if he could see the future in the distance.

"Aqiang, I know what you want to advise me. Don't worry, I will cherish a wife like Xiuting!"

"Fuck, go tell your wife that, why are you talking to me!" Liang Ziqiang deliberately stroked the goose bumps on his arms, "I won't say any more, I think I'm about to catch fish!"

The fish was pulled out of the water, and it was a little disappointing, it was a luncheon.

However, there was good news right after that. Lin Baixian pulled up a small fish, a blue spotted fish.

The blue grouper is just the most common type of grouper, but at this moment it made the two men stand up from the reef, smiling as if they had found a treasure.

This at least shows that the water environment of the nameless island is very attractive to groupers, and groupers are gradually beginning to appear.

Maybe in a few days, the grouper here will become abundant again!

After fishing for a while, they caught common sea fish, and two or three blue groupers each. Seeing that there were no more valuable groupers, and that time was almost up, they finished fishing and carried the fish in the bucket back to the boat.

Duobao, who had been swimming for a while, also started to get on the boat, holding a fish in his mouth. It looked good, it was actually a spotted pigfish.

Looking at the deck again, Liang Ziqiang was happy. There were several fish on the deck, including a bluefish, a spotted pigfish, and a spotted sea bass.

It turned out that Duobao had not forgotten to catch fish just now. He caught three or four fish in one breath and put them on the boat.

Just as he was praising Duobao, a shiny black creature climbed up the side of the boat.

The little sea lion flapped its front legs and actually followed suit, putting something it was holding in its mouth onto the deck and arranging it together with the fish that Duobao was holding, in a quite neat arrangement.

Liang Ziqiang looked over and his eyes widened.

What did the little sea lion bring back? It was clearly a sea cucumber, a black sea cucumber? !
