Chapter 3 Go to sea
So Yang Momo's lively mind quickly faded, only leaning lazily in Yang Qiniang's arms to enjoy the baptism of dawn, and the early morning time also slowly passed quietly in this lively scene...
In a short time, the sun completely jumped out of the sea and hung high. After the cool air dissipated in the morning, the weather gradually became hot. At this time, the Yang brothers had sold fish at the dock for a long time, and the dock slowly became messy and dirty as the business progressed. Baskets of fish and shrimp were piled together, and mosquitoes and flies surrounded those fish and shrimps. The smell of flying and dead fish went all the way from the shore to Yang Momo's cabin.
The pungent smell made Yang Momo subconsciously frown. Yang Qiniang, who held her, knew that she didn't like the smell. She quickly twisted a few jasmine flowers picked the day before yesterday from the cabin, put the white flowers on Yang Momo's little nose, and coaxed gently while learning Liu's tone. ! "It's not stinky, it's not smelly. Our sister is not afraid of stinky. Sister smells the fragrant flowers for you. If we smell it, we won't smell it."
Yang Qiniang herself is only a five-year-old child, but she knows how to use flowers to coax her stinky little sister. If it were in modern society in the 21st century, five-year-old Yang Qiniang would not have to worry so much, and she could also rely on her mother's arms every day to beg for candy, right?
A comparison between Yang Qiniang and modern happy children made Yang Momo feel sour and uncomfortable, so she immediately sniffed the jasmine on her nose a few times, and then smiled sweetly at Yang Qiniang.
Yang Qiniang felt very satisfied when she saw her sister smile. Her little round face couldn't help smiling. Her smile was very simple and innocent. Looking at Yang Momo's eyes also warmed her heart. She could feel that the little girl really wanted to take good care of her, which was sincere. I want to love her younger sister...
At this moment, the Yang brothers carried the remaining fish basket back to the boat from the shore. As soon as Yang Dazhu opened the curtain and came in, he said to Yang Qiniang, "Let's go home early today, lest the smelly fish smell of our sister."
Yang Qiniang heard a sweet smile and replied in a slow and somewhat unfavorable and tender tone, "Don't worry, Dad. I took Jasmine to smell the fragrance for my little sister. After smelled it, the little sister smiled at me. The smile on her little face was so sweet."
When Yang Dazhu heard the words, he touched the back of his head and smiled happily. He pinched Yang Qiniang's little face with a doting face. Then he and Yang Erzhu untied the cable tied to the stone pier of the dock and slowly drove the boat away from Nancuo Pier.
As soon as the ship returned to the long-moored bay, Yang Dazhu immediately sold the remaining fish at the dock, picked up some alive and put them in the fish basket, and rushed to the city to sell them. Liu got on the boat and dragged down the fishing nets on the boat and spread the fishing nets on the bamboo poles on the beach.
While spreading the fishing net in the sun, Liu asked Yang Qiniang, "Qiniang, did your sister cry again along the way?"
As soon as Yang Qiniang heard Liu's question, she immediately raised her little chest and replied proudly, "No, my sister is very good in my arms. Not only did she not cry all the way, but she also smiled at me several times."
"That's good. Then go to your aunt's place to eat porridge. I'll call Dalang to bring you," Liu said and shouted in the direction of the old ship: "Dalang, come and take Qi Niang to eat porridge. She has been busy helping her mother take care of her sister early in the morning, and she hasn't had breakfast yet!"
The boss of the Yang family was called by Liu. He just turned 11 years old this year. As soon as Yang Dalang heard Liu calling him, he immediately came out of the cabin of the old ship and replied from afar, "Let Qi Niang wait for me for a while, and I will put the bamboo raft to pick her up!"
Because the big boat needs to stay in a deep water so that it will not run aground, Yang Dalang can't directly get off the boat and walk to the shore. He needs to put down a small bamboo raft from the big boat, step on the bamboo raft, and then use a bamboo pole to row it from the side of the boat to the shore. Yang Qiniang, who holds Yang Momo, gets on the bamboo raft, and then slowly turns around. Row to the big ship in one direction.
Yang Momo knew that the bamboo raft was not safer than a big boat, and if she didn't pay attention, she would lose its balance and fall into the water, so she lay obediently in Yang Qiniang's arms, dared not move at will, and would not be curious about the current situation--she has traveled to the Yang family, which has been fishing for three months, which has been fishing for three months. The "water short-distance transportation" has long been common, knowing that nearby fishermen use bamboo rafts to row from big boats to the shore in this way.
In the past three months, Yang Momo has listened and opened her little eyes with poor eyes and eyes. Finally, she slowly figured out the work and rest of the Yang family. She knew that Liu had repaired the fishing nets on the beach and would work in the farmland and vegetable fields until about noon, estimating Yang Da Zhu almost sold the fish in the city and began to rush back before Liu picked the vegetables back on the boat to cook for the whole family.
After months of exploration, Yang Momo has figured out that there are a total of 13 people in this so-called family, including himself. Among them, two large and two small Yang Erzhu's family have four people, and the remaining nine people have eight people in addition to Mr. Yang. These eight people are Yang Dazhu, Liu, and him Their four sons and two daughters.
Yang Momo was an only child before she traveled through time, so she explored this complex family for a long time before she understood their situation a little, but she only figured out some general situation. After all, Yang Momo is just a baby waiting to be fed. Even moving needs to be in the arms of others. What opportunity to be a private detective to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Yang family...
Yang Momo was born with a lack of security, so as soon as she crossed into this ordinary fisherman's house, she tried her best to capture and write down every word said by the Yang family, and finally slowly pieced together her current environment - she probably crossed to the south of the Northern Song Dynasty. In which year in the Northern Song Dynasty she had not Find out.
The Yang family lives in a small fishing village near the sea in southern Fujian. The family mainly relies on fishing and farming to support the family's livelihood. However, because the family is old and small and has a large population, the income from farming and fishing can barely maintain food and clothing. This premise for maintaining food and clothing must be that there must be no long-term bad weather and guidance You can't go to sea to fish, and the harvest in the field is good.
That is to say, if there is bad weather or any natural disaster caused by crops in the field, then the Yang Dazhu family is very likely to have no food.
The Yang family has no houses on land, only a few mu of thin fields. Usually, this family lives on two new and old fishing boats, taking boats as their home, food and accommodation on board. Late at night, the Yang brothers drove out a relatively new fishing boat to fish, and the rest of the family slept on another old fishing boat. When Yang Dazhu did not go to sea during the day, the two families lived in a boat.
In this small fishing village, the Yang family is not the only one who lives on the boat. Most people in the village take boats as their home. Many families who can buy land and build houses on land are rich, but there are not many rich families in such a small fishing village, so the harbor near the sea of the village is moored all year round. Many large and small ships docked together to form a small fishing village on the water.
Before Yang Momo traveled, he heard that there was such a group of fishermen in the south of the motherland - their ancestors lived on the water for generations, taking boats as their home and fishing for a living. From quack landing to death, they lived on the water all their lives.
This group of fishermen drifted on the water and lived by water all year round. A canoe is their home. Wherever the boat floats, home is safe. Water, boat and fishing are the memories they have formed since childhood. They live day after day and year after year.
Every night, they will sit in the bow of the boat to enjoy the cool, shaking the big fan under the starry night sky, chatting while watching the moon hanging upside down on the sea gently surge with the sea, and the days are so plain as the sea gradually passing away.
In modern times, Yang Momo once envied such a carefree lifestyle, and also fantasized that she could have a big fishing boat all over the world, and that she could live a leisurely life accompanied by stars and sleep on the waves.
After all, in the 21st century, when most people can't even afford a cabin, it's very good to be in charge of a canoe. At least you don't have to be a sad house slave, you don't have to be overwhelmed by soaring house prices, and you don't have to give everything you have to buy a house that can only live for decades.
It's just a fantasy, and fantasy is beautiful only when it's still a fantasy. When one day this fantasy really comes true, God really let Yang Momo travel to the home of a generation of people who live on the sea and make a living by fishing, and really let Yang Momo eat and live on a big fishing boat...
Yang Momo knew that it was not easy to live on a boat. She knew that living on a boat had to endure the bumps of big and small, almost unstoppable, and had to train her stomach very strong from an early age... So it was not until she experienced it on a fishing boat that Yang Momo I know that only fishermen who really wander on the water can regard the boat as their home for the rest of their lives.
Although Yang Momo lived in a coastal city in his previous life, he was a dry duck and had never stayed on the boat for a long time. Yang Momo's only boat she had taken several times in her previous life was also a large and stable ship in modern times. Therefore, Yang Momo, who was still in a baby state, had a few days due to a long time. Staying on the boat, I began to get seasick...
