Chapter 21 First encounter

There was too much ice on the hull, and there was a risk of sinking at any time, so for the sake of safety, Meng Zhensheng decided to clear the ice before continuing the voyage.

Yao Changsheng and the others rested in the cabin for more than half an hour, recovered their strength, and knew that they could not continue to rest, so they all picked up their tools again and joined the ranks of cutting ice.

The snow was blowing heavily, and the soldiers and civilians on board worked together to unload the ice from the ship, until it was dark, and the snow was slowly subsiding, and they completely unloaded the ice from the ship.

In total, it took more than eight hours.

Everybody, exhausted, the ship was finally able to return.

It was 8:40 p.m., but the wharf on Nanying Island was full of people waiting, and everyone was standing on the wharf in the cold, and the cries of family members and the lamented sighs of the onlookers continued.

At this time, the islanders had already gone to sleep on the kang, but since they learned from the commune in the afternoon that Yao Changsheng and his party had an accident on the way back, everyone tacitly gathered at the dock and waited.

For the fishermen on the island, there is nothing more fearful than an accident at sea, but they also know that this is inevitable.

Ma Lanying sat on the bench without a master, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't settle down, and the thing she was most worried about still appeared.

Yao Zhineng gritted his teeth, not daring to think about what would happen if his father didn't come back today, He looked at the black sea, so worried that he could barely breathe.

Xu Youyue stood with her husband, her eyes worried, and her heart turned upward, secretly praying that her father-in-law and a boatload of fishermen would come back safely.

After the incident, Ma Lanying has not taken a drop of water until now, Yao Haiyun is really worried about her physical condition, and poured a cup of warm water into her hand, "Mom, drink some water."

Ma Lanying shook her head, her voice was weak and weak, "I can't drink it."

Zheng Yuhua also advised her, "Drink a little, the more you have to be stronger, the army's rescue ship has gone, it will definitely be fine, rest assured."

Ma Lanying's eyes were blank, and she picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.

Eight people went on this trip, not only their family, but also the other seven families were also grief-stricken, and the people who went to sea at this time were basically strong young and middle-aged men, not only the main laborers of the family, but also the father of the children, the husband of the wife, and the son of the mother.

Zheng Qinrong was the first to collapse, she only had Yao Jiangang and a son, and she suffered this bad luck before she got married, she couldn't bear any unfortunate results at all, so she rushed to Ma Lanying in a hurry, and scolded Yao Changsheng's family: "It's all your fault, it's okay to say that you want to run the transportation, if my son can't come back today, I will not finish with your family!"

If it had been in the past, Ma Lanying would have scolded her a long time ago, but now she really doesn't have the mood to quarrel with Zheng Qinrong.

Yao Changsheng is the captain of the team and the leader of this transportation, and now that such a thing has happened, everyone wants to ask for responsibility, and emotionally directly attributed the responsibility to their family.

Yao Haiyun knew that in addition to Zheng Qinrong, the other six families were probably also blaming them, and they couldn't be washed away if they didn't tell the matter at this time, and they couldn't be washed away after they fell into the quagmire, so she stood up and directly replied loudly in front of several leaders of the commune: "Auntie, I understand your feelings, but what are you saying now? I remember that it was unanimously approved, and all the documents were stamped and signed, and it was all voluntary, but now everyone is equal, and if you don't want to go, you cannot go at all, and no one forced Yao Jiangang to run transportation.

"My dad has been the captain of the birth team for a few years, in terms of workload and contribution, he can definitely rank in the top three, everyone present knows in their hearts, but even so, he has never taken the role model in the team, every year he is given to others, and his own work is averaged.

"Every month, the production team has to hold several meetings, and no one wants to be in their own house, and the people in the team all run to my house, so many people drink tea leaves, candles and fuel for lighting, and notebooks for keeping work points, all of which are taken out by our family free of charge, but they are not recorded in the accounts of the production team.

"Why don't you stand up and say it for my father?"

Yao Zhineng also said: "A few years ago, when the guest house was not built, the leaders of the upper side came to inspect it, and our family was responsible for eating and drinking, and we never cared about this money, right? At the end of the year, we have to rely on ourselves? Is the captain taking the meat? It's not all for you to pick first, and we'll take care of the rest. "

Yao Changsheng can be the captain of this perennial production team not only because of his superb fishing skills, but also because of his outstanding personality.

As soon as Yao Haiyun's words came out, the people in the team felt uneasy in their conscience, and they also accosted, "Yes, haven't they said that transportation is more profitable than fishing for a few years, and they have long been clamoring to engage in transportation."

"Oh, Jiangang's mother, no one wants to do this, just wait."

"It's not been easy for the captain these years, and besides, he's on the ship, and he didn't happen on purpose."

Zheng Qinrong didn't care about that, "Who made him the captain, he should be the leader!"

Yao Guoxin stood up: "Okay!"

He turned his head to look at Zheng Qinrong, his face was displeased, and he said: "What are you making trouble? The ship hasn't come back yet, don't say it?"

Yao Guoxin is the big leader of the commune, Zheng Qinrong doesn't dare to say it.

Ma Lanying turned her head away and looked at the sea and silently shed tears.

Yao Haiyun came back angrily and patted Ma Lanying on the shoulder, "Mom, don't worry about her, it's really stupid and bad."

After this farce, the crowd fell silent, and there were only a few uncontrollable cries floating in the night sky.

At this moment, I don't know who shouted, "There is a boat, there is a boat!"
