1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 412 Torpedoes and Unknown Devices

"By the way, Brother Qiang, I have half a day off this afternoon. From tomorrow on, you don't have to clean the toilet anymore. I'm joining the security team!"

The heavy air froze for a long time, and Deng Zhaocai suddenly grinned, and his smile was just like when the two of them were fishing on the sea. It was as if he was really sharing the good news of a salary increase and job change, and was happy about the future.

"You don't congratulate me?" said Acai.

"Congratulations!" Liang Ziqiang patted his arm.

This may be the most mixed congratulation Liang Ziqiang has ever said. "You have to get along well with other people there. Some places will inevitably cost money. I have some money on me. Take it!"

Although he had just deposited the money at ICBC, he still had another two or three hundred yuan in his pocket. Liang Ziqiang took it out and stuffed it into Ah Cai's pocket.

Acai refused for a long time before he said "Thank you, Brother Qiang" in a serious tone and accepted the money.

"Take care of yourself!" Liang Ziqiang had a lot to say, but in the end he only said this.

"I'll be fine. I'm going to find a chance to deal with him alone. Not only can I kill him, but I can also escape safely. On the day I went to Shenpeng, Yan Zi told me that I must be safe. If anything happens to me, Yan Zi in heaven will be unhappy!" Deng Zhaocai seemed to be making a promise.

The sound of seagulls' cries gradually distanced Deng Zhaocai's departing figure.

"Why did it take so long to go to the bank today? Was there a queue?" When Chen Xiangbei saw him when she got home, she walked over and asked.

"Well, it's strange today, there are more people than usual." Liang Ziqiang responded vaguely. He certainly couldn't say that he met Ah Cai and was delayed for a long time.

Sitting at the table eating, Chen Xiangbei had already eaten and moved a stool not far from him to start knitting a sweater.

Liang Ziqiang pointed outside the door with his chopsticks: "Listen, the cicadas are chirping outside. It's so hot, are you knitting a sweater?"

"So according to you, should we wait until the north wind blows before knitting? We are not cuckoos." Chen Xiangbei looked up at him without stopping her work. "It's almost time. The weather will turn cold in two months. I knitted a few sweaters for my son last year, but look at his height now. Can he still wear those baby sweaters? Knit it for him in advance so that he can use it when the weather turns cold!"

"By the way, buy some wool next time you go out. I feel like I don't have enough wool." She thought about it and reminded herself.

"Well, come with me to the street one day and you can choose the color of this thing." Liang Ziqiang responded.

"I knitted it according to the size up," Chen Xiangbei stopped knitting, her face full of reverie, "I wonder how Cheng Cheng is doing now, whether he has grown much taller. Let me ask you, my son has been at my mother's house for so long, don't you miss him as a father?"

"Of course I do. I can't sleep at night because I miss my son so much!"

"You are so annoying, how dare you laugh at me!" The wife stretched out her leg and kicked the leg of his stool. "You can rest at home tomorrow, or come with me to my parents' home. It's been almost a month now, so it should be enough time, right? I want to bring him back..."

"Don't! It's only been more than twenty days, how can it be a month? It's better to exceed it than to go ahead of it. If you do, all your previous efforts may be wasted, and you will have to start all over again. It will be a lot of trouble for you!" Liang Ziqiang hurriedly stopped them.

"It's just a few days, how can it be as serious as you say?" Although the daughter-in-law refuted, she was obviously backing off and sighed, "Why is time passing so slowly!"

As the sky gradually darkened, the sound of the TV came on and the family sat together watching TV again.

"Grandpa, I don't want to watch this. I want to watch a martial arts movie. Hehe, haha," Liang Xiaohai gestured in the air and kicked a few times. "Martial arts movies are the most exciting!"

"Go away, go and watch martial arts movies. Go find your grandma. She's the best martial artist in our family!" Liang's father still remembers the shame of being chased and beaten with a half-bottle of wine in his hand. He pulled his grandson aside and said, "Of course I'm watching the news at this hour. What kind of martial arts movie is this!"

Liang Xiaohai pouted, not having the courage to spar with his grandmother, so he ran over to spar with Lizhi.

Liang Ziqiang and his wife chatted casually, and from time to time he would glance at the TV. It seemed that his father was watching the news from Yanghai City. The national news, the news from the province and the city, his father would watch it for a while when he was at home. Relatively speaking, his father watched the most from the city, he felt that many of the contents of the city's news were related to the ocean and fishing villages, and they were the most down-to-earth.

After watching for a while, Liang's father suddenly moved his stool forward, stretched his neck unconsciously, and muttered to the black and white screen:
"Torpedoes? No one has fished out a torpedo in the sea for years. How come two were fished out at once? I don't know which country did this. Ah Qiang, take a look. Can you recognize the words on it?"

When Liang Ziqiang heard his father calling, he quickly turned his eyes.

The latest news broadcast on TV was that fishermen from Yanghai City fished out two large torpedoes from the South China Sea when they went out to sea.

The voice-over said that each one was about three meters long, which was really big. Looking at the picture, the body was very smooth and spindle-shaped, and there was a fin-like tail at the back. Liang Ziqiang took a look and thought it looked like a tuna.

The so-called words on the outer shell are actually a few letters. As for what they mean, how could Liang Ziqiang understand them?
From the broadcast, we can probably tell that fishermen in Yanghai recently found not only unidentified torpedoes but also other mysterious devices in the South China Sea, which were judged to have been dropped by foreign spies. As to which country secretly dropped them, the news did not make a clear determination.

"I don't understand it either. After all, he is a spy. Which country doesn't know it?"

This kind of news is quite attractive to men. Liang Ziqiang stopped chatting and turned around to watch the TV news seriously.

At the end of the news report, the news also specifically called on all fishermen in Yanghai City to report to the relevant departments immediately if they encounter similar unidentified objects or devices while out at sea. The announcer also specifically announced the address for accepting reports and a phone number for receiving similar reports.

"It seems that they are going to catch spies recently. Ah Qiang, if our boat salvages something like that, we must report it to the higher-ups, even if it means wasting time fishing!"

The older generation is still very nervous about this. After watching the news, Liang's father did not forget to give Aqiang a few words of advice.

Aqiang nodded. The father and son watched some other news. After watching the news, Liang Ziqiang found that there were no TV series he liked, so he sat for a while and went to sleep.

Going out to sea is tiring. After finally resting for two days, of course I have to go to bed early at night.

By the way, Chen Xiangbei was also pushed and shoved into the inner room to sleep...

The sleep was obviously not relaxing, and even a bit intense. The next day, the two woke up a little late. Liang Ziqiang had breakfast and took advantage of the fact that the morning sun was not too strong, and hurried out the door to go to the dozens of acres of shrimp ponds and dams to see the shrimps.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a thin figure walking towards me.

"Aqiang, you are at home. I knew you should rest at home today."

The person who came was Lin Baixian.

"Ah Xian, you didn't go out to sea today either?" Liang Ziqiang stopped and asked.

"Isn't this a good time to take a two-day break? Don't you have anything to do today?"

"It's nothing important, why are you looking for me?"

It doesn't matter whether he goes to the shrimp pond early or late. His father-in-law and brother-in-law are already feeding the shrimps there, so he just goes over to take a look.

"I'm so glad you're alright. I wanted to find you many days ago, but you were out at sea for several days and I didn't run into you!"

Lin Baixian took something out of his pocket and shook it at Liang Ziqiang.
