Ocean Island was really a good place. The trees and grass on the mountain were lush and lush, providing sufficient firewood for the residents on the island. The stones on the mountain were inexhaustible materials for building houses, docks, and other projects. There were not many residents on the island, and they were mainly engaged in fishery production, fishing, and breeding. The residents all ate commercial grain, but on some of the slightly gentle slopes, there were also people who opened up wasteland to grow grain and vegetables. It had played a very important role in the three difficult years. However, the most favorable natural condition of Ocean Island was that it was particularly rich in seafood resources. Not only were there many types of shrimp fish, but there were also a large number of them. There was a proverb in the Great Wilderness of the Northeast,'If you beat a cockroach with a stick, the pheasant will fall into the pot.' If they wanted to eat fish on Ocean Island, they could just light a fire and go to the beach to catch it. There were plenty of sea cucumbers in the harbor. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the fishermen would fish for sea cucumbers in the harbor every day. They threw a special kind of net into the sea, then sat in the small boat and shook it like a spinning wheel. The net was shaken up, and the sea cucumber came out. Who knew how many sea cucumbers they would catch in a winter? However, on the goods yard of the aquatic products company, the dried sea cucumbers were like farmers drying grain in the yard.
The most interesting thing was to go into the sea to fish for rainbows. After lunch, it was time for lunch break. Captain Li Zuo 'an took a large bucket and mysteriously approached Sergeant Guan Hemin. He whispered,""Let's go. Call a few people to go and fish up Hai Hong.!”
"Where to?"
"Behind the mountain."
"Is there?"
"Then you haven't? There must be a lot of places where no one goes.”
"Let's go." Sergeant Guan waved his hand at Ah Hui, Bing Liancheng, Lu Xianglin, Yu Yanjin, and Song Yunsheng, who were sitting on the dock. Thus, the soldiers followed the two officers to the back of the mountain. No one asked what they were going to do.
After crossing Crimson Rock Mountain, they arrived at the sea. Captain Li put the bucket on a rock and said to the others,""There must be a rainbow down here. Whoever goes first, go down and try to catch a few.”
Ah Hui stood beside Sergeant Guan and looked at the sea in front of her hesitantly. There was no wind, and the sea was unusually calm. The blue sea water was slowly surging like mucus. The thin waves kept hitting the reefs by the water, making rhythmic sounds. In the distance was the mountain range of Zhangzi Island. Under the clear sky, the shadow of the mountain was very clear. Further away, there was a vast expanse of seawater, and nothing could be seen.
Warriors were used to following orders. Coming out to play was also an order. Hearing the captain's words, Yu Yanjin took off his clothes and was the first to jump into the sea and dive to the bottom of the sea. The water surface was covered with the bubbles he had spat out underwater. A moment later, he emerged, his hands held high above the water, clutching a large number of rainbows in his hands, spitting seawater from his mouth as he panted,"Aiya, there are so many of them. I can't catch them all. Come down quickly.”
Only the captain and the sergeant were left on top. Ah Hui, Bing Liancheng, Lu Xianglin, and Song Yunsheng all went down. Ah Hui took a deep breath and quickly descended to the bottom of the sea. In the clear sea water, he saw many rainbows of different sizes on the reefs at the bottom of the sea. No one had ever come to such a place to pick it. This was a primitive and natural environment. Ah Hui went down and caught a few of them. His hands were full and he couldn't take it all, but there were still many more, big and plump. He wanted to grab it, but he couldn't bring it over. He couldn't bear to not grab it. After a long time, he didn't have enough air, so he could only come up and surface.
"Hurry up and give it to me!" Ah Hui panted heavily as she struggled to speak. He threw Hai Hong on the grass, stuck out his butt, and dived back into the water.
Bing Lian Cheng also came out. He had big hands and could take a lot. Panting heavily, he said,"They're too strong. Some of them are big. I can't break them off even if I try hard!"”
Lu Xianglin didn't know how to step on water. He climbed out of the water and used one hand to hold the rainbow he had picked up on his stomach while he paddled to the shore with the other. He placed the rainbow into the bucket, wiped the water off his face, and went back in.
The few of them came up, I went down, I came up, you went down. Captain Li Zuo 'an and Sergeant Guan Hemin were busy collecting the fruits on the shore like ospreys. After a while, a large bucket was almost full. Not far away, the sound of a donkey could be heard. There were no cows or horses on Ocean Island. There were only a few small donkeys tied to the mountains to graze. People often heard the braying of donkeys. Strangely, the braying of the donkey on Ocean Island always coincided with the clock. As long as the donkey brays, look at the watch, it must be on time. At this moment, Ah Hui was throwing the rainbow in her hands onto the grass. Sergeant Guan raised his arm to look at his watch. It was exactly two o'clock. He said to the captain,"Let's go. It's time."
"Come on up, it's quite a lot." Captain Li Zuo 'an said loudly. He watched as Ah Hui, Bing Liancheng, and the others came out of the water one by one. After putting on their clothes, Lu Xianglin and Yu Yanjin carried the bucket full of Haihong. They walked up the hill unsteadily and headed to the family dormitory near the canning factory.
The Ocean Island Navy had two family dormitories. One was in Gaoli Village, on the hillside south of the well area headquarters. There were two rows of tile-roofed houses, and more than a hundred families of the army, including the families of Commander Yu and Political Commissar Chen, lived there. The other place was on the hillside above the canning factory. There were two rows of empty staff dormitories in the canning factory. The front row was for the families of the officers at the Redstone Pier, and the back row was for the families of the officers who came to visit their relatives temporarily.
In the middle of the front row was Captain Li Zuo 'an's family, Xiao Cai' er. The first family in the back row was Sergeant Guan Hemin's family. Little Cai had a little boy who was six years old, and the sergeant major's child was three years old. As mentioned before, Captain Li Zuo 'an was from Rongcheng, Shandong Province, and Sergeant Guan Hemin's family was in Wendeng, Shandong Province. They were all from Weihai City. The two women felt very close to each other when they met on the isolated island. When the man was not at home, they were naturally willing to stay together and chat about their daily lives to relieve the loneliness in their hearts.
After lunch, the captain brought Sergeant Guan and the others to catch Hai Hong. It was Little Cai who called Sergeant Guan's wife over. "Come, stay here with me. It's boring sitting alone.”The chief sergeant's wife came over with the child in her arms. When she heard Cai 'er's child call her aunt, she asked,""Didn't you give birth to her? Why didn't you call her mom?"
Cai 'er blushed and said,"I didn't give birth to him. His mother is my biological sister. She passed away due to illness two years ago. Later, someone proposed marriage to my brother-in-law. He didn't want anyone but me. He said that he was afraid that the child would suffer. I was studying at that time, but my parents agreed and followed him. The child was used to calling her aunt and could not change it. Call him whatever you want. Anyway, I always treat him like my own child.”
The sergeant chief's wife turned her gaze to the child sitting by the bed. He was six years old, and he was quite stout. He had black hair, a chubby face, and his clothes were clean and tidy. He was very likable. She couldn't help but praise,"Big Sister, you're so nice!"
Just as they were talking, the people from Lao Hai Hong returned. Lu Xianglin and Yu Yanjin placed the barrels on the ground, and the captain told Little Cai to light the fire. The two women, one started the fire and the other matched the pot. In a short time, Hai Hong was done cooking. Sergeant Guan brought a large basin over.""Come on, real seafood!”He first took one, peeled it, and put it in his mouth. As he bit, he said,"So bright, so delicious!"
Ah Hui, Bing Liancheng, and the others surrounded the basin and ate, not bothering to speak.
Captain Li Zuo 'an looked at Sergeant Guan's wife's embarrassed expression. He found another aluminum basin and filled it up."We're all family. Eat like home. Don't be polite!”
The sergeant's wife blushed and said,"Okay, okay. I'm eating. I'm eating!"”
At this moment, there were no officials, soldiers, or family members in the family room. They were all family. The fresh rainbow had a unique flavor!
