"Even if you die, you will have no regrets." Zhao Hongyi said sonorously and forcefully. Staying in the village seems to be a safe life, but in fact, if Zhou Lao does not die, the village will not be safe, and in this case, he and Huang Chen will part ways.
What kind of life did Zhao Hongyi live on Hu Er's old boat? Today and no tomorrow, no hope, and ridiculed by others...I can't help but feel cold all over when I think about it. Huang Chen is his boss, tolerates his shortcomings and explores him.
His merits promoted him from an insignificant shift worker to the head of the ship's crew. Zhao Hongyi did not think that he would be lucky enough to meet another boss who appreciated him. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhao Hongyi made a decision that was good for him.
Making an extremely risky decision, he went to Taiwan with Huang Chen, threw himself into a desperate situation, and was trapped in death in order to fight for the slim chance of survival.
The corners of Huang Chen's mouth slowly raised, and then he let out a long laugh and said, "Brother Zhao, you will definitely be glad for today's decision in the future."
Zhao Hongyi smiled bitterly. Where did Huang Chen's almost arrogant self-confidence come from? No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his future was gloomy.
Not everyone can make a desperate move like Zhao Hongyi. Two people voluntarily gave up their status as ship owners and chose to stay in the village. A mere ship was really not worth their lives. They believed that with their qualifications and abilities, they would invest in it.
He will soon be able to make a comeback under Hu Yin's command. Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and Huang Chen didn't force them. He let them go happily and said he would recommend them to Hu Yin.
Then Huang Chen turned his eyes to the brothers Chen Si and Chen Wu who were sitting side by side on the left, and said: "The third brother is still young and has no prestige. It may be inconvenient to run a village. I plan to leave a confidant to assist him. Besides, this
Life or death in Fujian is unpredictable - Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, you brothers, please add up, who will follow me and who will stay."
Brothers Chen Si and Chen Wu looked at each other, and Chen Wu was the first to speak: "I'll go."
Chen Si shook his head and said: "Don't fight with me, stay home and take care of your mother."
"elder brother……"
The two brothers were similar in age. Chen Si rarely showed his elder brother's attitude and said with a straight face: "Elder brother is like father, do whatever I say, don't talk nonsense to me."
Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, but finally did not argue anymore and sat back in his chair in silence.
Seeing that the two of them had the result, Huang Chen said to everyone: "The specific departure date has not been decided yet, but it should be at the end of this month. There are still about ten days left. When you go back, inform your subordinates and make early preparations." Huang Chen
After thinking for a while, he said: "If the people below have special circumstances, don't force it. In this way, I will set a quota for you, and let you go at most 20%, and you can take care of the rest by yourself."
Huang Chen kept the mute girl in his mind. As soon as the matter was over, he ordered everyone to leave and returned to the inner hall. The mute girl was still squatting in the corner, sobbing and sobbing. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her deer eyes turned into little rabbits.
Seeing this, Huang Chen couldn't help but scratch his head. The mute girl is not a person who likes to cry. Her tortuous life experience has made her extremely strong-willed. In the year and a half since they met, she has only seen her cry twice, once when she mentioned
A close relative was killed, and the other time was when he refused to marry him face to face. As a last resort, Huang Chen deliberately snorted with a tigerish face: "I just went to Fujian, nothing more. The way you cried like this didn't curse me to death."
The mute girl was stunned on the spot when she heard this. Huang Chen had never said such harsh words to her before, and he forgot to cry for a moment.
Huang Chen secretly felt sorry in his heart. He really had no choice but to come up with such a bad trick. He walked up to the mute girl, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said in a cold tone: "That's right, there's nothing to cry about. , it’s annoying for nothing. Let me ask you, are you able to speak?”
The mute girl looked a little dull and nodded subconsciously.
Realizing that the mute girl seemed really frightened, Huang Chen's voice immediately softened: "When did you recover, today?"
"No." The mute girl shook her head, hesitated and whispered back: "Last year."…
This answer was far beyond Huang Chen's expectation, and he said: "Last year? Then why didn't you speak until today..." At this point, Huang Chen was suddenly startled, and then said: "When moving to a new home?"
The mute girl lowered her little head and nodded slightly, looking downcast.
Huang Chen was silent. It was not surprising that he could guess that he refused the marriage between the two of them when they moved. That was the only time the mute girl was stimulated when she came to his house. After a while, he said: "I can't call you mute sister anymore. You once wrote Your surname is Yan, do you have a name?"
The mute girl shook her head, looking frustrated.
"I'll give you a name." Huang Chen deliberately teased: "What should I call you Yan? Yan Yan? It's simple and easy to remember."
The mute girl's reaction was bland and nothing could be done.
Seeing that she had been reluctant to speak, Huang Chen threatened her again: "If you don't speak for this disease, you will become mute again."
The mute girl whispered: "I study every night."
You have nothing to say about your feelings, right? Huang Chen continued to make up lies and said, "You have just recovered. You are like a babbling baby. Talking to yourself is useless. You need to communicate more with others."
A hint of doubt appeared on the mute girl's delicate little face.
"You believe me, I must be right..."
Huang Chen seldom went out in the next few days and stayed with Zhang all day long. Although Zhang felt a little strange, she didn't think much about it. The Chinese New Year had just passed and it was during the fishing ban. There was nothing going on at sea. Huang Chen It makes sense to stay at home longer. Time passed by quietly. On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, on Wednesday, Lao sent someone to the village to inform Huang Chen that the departure date was set. Three days later, on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, he set off.
Huang Chen knew that she could no longer hide it, so she told the truth truthfully in front of Zhang's bed that night. This matter was like a thunderbolt hitting Zhang's head. Her son going to Fujian was enough to worry her, let alone traveling with Zhou Lao. Zhang Although she was a womanizer, she also knew that Zhou Zhou was always the murderer of Wang Fengwu. The two sides had a sworn hatred. How could she not be afraid of this? Tears fell like rain in an instant.
Huang Chen wrapped his palms firmly around Ning Jing's hand and said word by word: "Mom, I made a promise with you that I will take you back to your hometown in Hangzhou in three to five years. Before I can do that, even if I The Lord of Hell will never take me away. A mere three-week old man is nothing. He wants to kill me, and I still want to kill him."
"..." Mrs. Zhang stopped talking and silently wiped away her tears.
Huang Chen added: "Mom, I promise you, I will come back alive, escape from the pirates, and take you back home..."
Mrs. Zhang shed tears all night, and the next morning she steeled herself to make breakfast for Huang Chen. Since the mute girl came to the house, she had rarely had the opportunity to cook, and her son was about to leave for a long distance. She was useless as a mother. , couldn't do anything, so she had to cook a few meals for her son. Zhang's cooking skills were not as good as those of her mute sister, Zhang Xing's mother, but Huang Chen ate with gusto, and his appetite obviously increased.
What is supposed to come will eventually come. After three days, Huang Chen packed his bags. Zhang and the mute girl burst into tears. He was also very sad and his eye circles were slightly red, but he always had a smile on his face, from time to time.
Comforting and reassuring the two of them. Before going out, Huang Chen refused to let the two of them see each other off. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Zhang, then stood up and left without hesitation.
Kou'ao was crowded with people, regardless of gender, old or young. Almost everyone in the village was here. Everywhere he looked, there were touching scenes of farewell children, farewell husbands, and farewell fathers. Huang Chen sighed quietly in his heart. After going there this time,
I don't know when I will be able to come back again, maybe I will never see you again, and even he is no exception. Huang Chen gathered his mood and stepped across the plank to board the big bird ship.
The time to set off soon came. After many urgings, many relatives in Kou'ao cried and grabbed the crew members and refused to let go. Huang Chen didn't want to be a villain, so he waited and waited. The crew members boarded the boat one after another, and there were only a few dozen people.
Still staying at the port, Huang Chen felt that he had done his best to do this, so he sent someone to force the remaining people on board.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on on oars of the ships.
Huang Chen stood at the stern of the boat and murmured to himself: "Farewell, Dachen Mountain. Farewell, the village..." Suddenly his eyes were fixed, and among the dense crowd on the shore, the Zhang family and the mute girl were standing there, crying towards them.
He waved goodbye. Huang Chen smiled, raised his hand and waved, saying in his heart: "Mom, dumb girl, don't worry, I will be back."
