I Had a Home In 1982 Chapter 284

   Chapter 284 283. Flower cloth passed into the club team (I wish everyone a new good mood in the new week)

   Rolls of floral cloth were brought out, and the women did not care about queuing up to sell dried fish, and crowded to the counter to watch.

   "What kind of material is this? Hey, there's a lot of floral fabrics, I think it's more than a department store..."

   "It's really good, right? Let me touch it, I'll know as soon as I touch it, um, this is really good, do you feel cold when you touch it?"

   "What kind of flowers are on this? It's so pretty, it must be expensive, right? This flower cloth is really nice."

   "Sister-in-law, let's not touch it. The fishy smell on our hands that we just cleaned up from the dried fish will not be good on the rag."

  Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, just touch it. It's all of you who bought it anyway. You can just go back and wash it when you feel the fishy smell."

   "The fishy smell is not easy to wash." Huang Xiaohua shook her head.

  Wang Yi brought up a cardboard box, which was full of loose detergent powder:

   "This washing powder has a very good washing effect and has a floral fragrance. If you smell it, when you wash it with this washing powder, you will definitely be able to clean up the fishy smell."

   I smelled the yellow flowers in front of me, and the fresh scent was an unprecedented experience.

  Women who love beauty smelled this sweet taste like a man with a good wine smelled the aroma of wine, and they were all intoxicated and couldn't move their legs.

   But Huang Xiaohua had lent all the money from Huang Xiaohua's family to Huang Huihui, so she was very nervous, but she was reluctant to buy it.

  Wang Yi saw it and said to her: "Sister-in-law, if you want, you can keep the accounts. Anyway, our accounts are not bad. In the future, the community and team enterprises will share dividends and you can come and settle the accounts."

  Huang Xiaohua was overjoyed when she heard it, and said, "How much is this washing powder?"

   "Let's ask the flower cloth first, is it really good? Now the really good cloth is not cheap, it can't be two or three dollars a foot?" Feng Ya said anxiously.

   Indeed, Liang is now the overlord in the cloth market!

   Popular and expensive!

  Wang Yi checked the cloth when he brought it here. It is true that the good cloth is a chemical product, not cotton. It is an imported product and was imported to Yangcheng in the 1960s.

   At that time, cotton fabrics were common in China. Generally, there are two types. One is the cloth woven by the farmers themselves with cotton yarn, which is coarse cloth.

  The other is called sample cloth, which is also made of cotton but produced by machine, which is finer and more beautiful.

   It is true that good cloth has become very popular after it appeared. There are many reasons. The first is that it is rare and expensive. The second is that this cloth is chemical fiber cloth. The advantage of chemical fiber cloth is that it feels colder than cotton cloth.

No matter in the 1960s or now in the early 1980s, ordinary people did not have air conditioners in their homes, and even electric fans were rare. Now it has been 82 years. The entire outer island fishing village has no electricity and no electric fans, and the city has electricity but only cadres. Or teachers have fans in their homes.

  In this case, a good cloth that can get cold is naturally more popular than cotton.

   What's more, the good cloth is more beautiful than the cotton cloth. This cloth was first called really pretty in Yangcheng, and it was called really good after it was popularized in the 1970s.

  Because it is really good, ordinary cotton fabrics take a year to make clothes, but they can be worn for three years. This is the origin of the saying that the new three years, the old three years, and the three years of sewing and repairing.

  As soon as Fengya spoke, other people asked, "Yes, how much is Mr. Wang's really good cloth?"

"Do you want a cloth ticket? The point is, do you want a cloth ticket? I still have a two-meter cloth ticket at home. I want to buy spring and autumn clothes for my daughter in the department store. The eldest girl's family doesn't even have a new clothes. ."

   "Sister-in-law, okay, do you want to buy finished clothes for Chunhong?"

   "Isn't this a bonus for the team? It's okay for us to be ugly and handsome. The girl has reached the age of the target, so she has to dress up."

   As for the price, Wang Yi has already inquired about it.

  The really good cloth of 1982 is really expensive.

  This cloth has a fixed width, so it is sold according to the length. Three feet of cloth is one meter, and one foot of cloth costs more than three pieces.

The two or three yuan Fengya said was actually more than two yuan. That was the price in the 1980s. Before 1978, the prices of various items in the society were very stable. There was no major change in the 1970s, but the prices began to fluctuate in the 1980s. Woke up.

   Of course, this also represents the emergence of market vitality.

  The things on the outer islands are more expensive than those in the inland. It is true that good cloth costs three yuan per foot, which means one meter of cloth costs about ten yuan.

  This is ten dollars.

   There was no big contract before, and the strong laborers on the outer islands could earn 30 a month, so it would take ten days to pull one meter of really good cloth.

   But the wholesale price of this cloth is not expensive.

   Even if it is imported cloth, its price in Yangcheng is only two yuan per meter, and if converted into feet, it is only about sixty cents per foot.

  Wang Yi sold it to members at this price.

   It really costs ten yuan per meter, and women are reluctant to buy it.

   So he quoted the price: "The prices of these four kinds of cloth are different. The cheapest one is the white one, which is really good, only two yuan per meter. The most expensive one with colorful flowers is two yuan per meter."

  It is true that good cloth was very cheap in 2022. In 2022, cotton cloth was valuable in the market. Polyester cloth such as really good is not liked by consumers, and it is not used for clothes but for curtains, cushions and the like.

   But it was completely different in 1982. Now cotton cloth is not valuable, but chemical fiber cloth is valuable.

  The chemical fiber cloth head is really good and not expensive, and there is a kind of kabu that is stronger, thicker and more expensive.

   Hearing that one meter of this cloth is two dollars, the women couldn't believe it.

Xiufang from behind squeezed in and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you remember it clearly? This cloth is two yuan per meter? You mean one foot, right? Three feet is one meter, and one meter is six yuan, right? "

   "A department store costs 8 yuan per meter. Last year I went to buy moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival and asked, and it was 8 yuan per meter."

   "It's expensive again this year. You can't buy it for eight yuan and six, and you can't even buy it in the city."

Wang Yi explained: "It's just two yuan per meter, and sixty cents per foot. This cloth is indeed one meter eighty-nine yuan here. I have inquired about it. What's going on? Because our supply and marketing cooperative wants to make a profit, we have Market demand to price.”

   "The ex-factory price of this cloth in Yangcheng and Jinmen is two yuan per meter. I asked my classmates in Yangcheng to bring it for us, so I sold it to our members at the ex-factory price of two yuan."

   "After all, we are a family. I won't earn your money for these things, because I know that you have not been willing to make new clothes for several years."

  The women were moved and delighted when they heard this, and at the same time a little bit in disbelief.

  Fengya asked: "Mr. Wang, are you telling the truth? The factory price of this cloth is really two yuan per meter?"

  Wang Yi said: "Really, maybe it's even lower. It's just that my classmates can buy it at this price. I think it's still a bit expensive."

   "It's not expensive, it's not expensive at all, it's expensive in our commune department store." The women immediately shouted.

   Xiufang said, "Mr. Wang, did you give our members money? I don't believe this cloth is so cheap."

  Wang Yi said with a smile: "When Manager Xu comes back, you can ask him the factory price of this flower cloth, and then you will know if I lied to you."

   He further introduced: "My classmate told me in the letter that in fact, in 1976, the Jinmen Petrochemical Fiber Factory was completed and put into operation. It was specially responsible for the production of chemical fiber polyester, and then used polyester to weave really good cloth."

   "Why? Because of the shortage of food in our country, it is true that Liangbuli does not contain cotton. It is a chemical fiber cloth, which can free up cotton land to grow grain, thus increasing the output of grain and vegetables."

"From 1976 to 1979, or the 80 years of the previous year, our country has invested and built several factories and imported chemical fiber equipment from abroad to produce really good cloth. Think for yourself, is it true that there have been more good cloths in recent years? already?"

   After hearing his words, the women nodded.

  They believed Wang Yi's words, so they formed two teams.

   One team sells dried fish, the other pulls flower cloth.

  Wang Yi asked: "Right now, I and Daguo are too busy. Who are you, sister-in-law and auntie, who are ingenious? Come in and help me measure the cloth and pull the cloth—Wang Ugly Cat, go and call Dazhao over for registration."

   Wang Ugly Cat wiped his nose and hurried away.

   Xiufang volunteered and said, "I'll pull the cloth, my craft is not bad, by the way, Ermao, you call Uncle Gao over, and Uncle Gao measures the size quickly and accurately."

   Wang Yi smiled and said, "Old Uncle Gao, a carpenter, can still fiddle with flower cloth?"

   "As long as it's about measuring the size, he has a record." Fengya said.

  Xiufang first pulled two meters of cloth for Huang Xiaohua. Huang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I saw it when I went to the county. It is only worn by leaders and intellectuals. It's really good, and now we're wearing it too."

   "When the time comes, you will pick up your belongings, ask Teacher Wang to borrow a pen and put it in your chest pocket, haha, you have also become a female intellectual."

   "I can't do it. My face is as black as a donkey. People can see through my essence at a glance."

  The women were talking and laughing, and Wang Xianggao came behind.

   He brought a ruler himself, and with a flick of it, he knew the length and it was very accurate.

   After asking about the price, he was also surprised, saying that the price of this cloth is very affordable, and then he cut 2.8 meters for his own home.

  Fengya asked, "Brother Gao, what are you doing to buy really good at your age?"

  Wang Xianggao said, "Can't I buy it at my age? It's really good, and it's really cool. Now that the weather is so hot, I can't take a cold?"

   "Yo, Uncle Gao, you are so pretty." Xiufang teased.

  Wang Xianggao got serious after hearing this, and said, "Actually, it's for Mo Dou. What new clothes do I use when I'm old?"

   "How many clothes do you make for Mo Dou with a two-meter-eight cloth?" The women wondered.

  Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Mo Dou talked about a person, I wondered, isn't it rumored that our production team is behind? I asked Mo Dou to send the lesbians a really good flower dress, so that the outside team can see where we are behind."

Aunt Qing said: "My dear, you have really spent money for your daughter-in-law. Even young people in the city are not willing to give good clothes as gifts when they are in love. At most, they will be given when they get engaged. ."

   They chatted and the group began to disperse.

After a while, Huang Xiaohua came back and gave Wang Yi a basket of wild vegetables: "The girl at home has made some bitter cabbage seeds and purslane in the past two days. They are all carefully selected tender vegetables. I think you have sweet noodle sauce here. , it's delicious to dip into."

   "Mr. Wang wants to eat wild vegetables, go to Su Ziye, now is the good season of Su Ziye." Someone suggested.

  Huang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I have Suziye at home, but Suziye can't be washed and eaten, so it's better to pickle it and eat it. Teacher Wang may not have the time."

  Wang Yi thought about it and said, "Su Ziye? This thing seems to be suitable for wrapping barbecued meat? Let me get some."

  Huang Xiaohua heard this and said, "Okay, now there are a lot of Su Ziye, if you like to eat, I will let the girl pull some for you."

  Wang Yi said: "Sister-in-law, don't rush to leave, I also have something to eat here, how about you try it."

  Huang Xiaohua dropped wild vegetables for him and waved: "I just came to give you something worthless, how can I still eat you?"

Wang Yi said: "I'm not worth the money, and you may not be willing to eat it - it's the sea jelly I made by myself, cooked with chicken feathers. It was actually cooked yesterday, but it didn't solidify in the cold storage in the afternoon. Yesterday It was almost a night of congealing."

   He cooked two pots of sea jelly yesterday.

   is now all set.

  The stone cauliflower is almost boiled, but there are always some bits and pieces of chicken that settle at the bottom of the pot.

  Wang Yi poured it out, and cut off the bottom of the pot with a knife.

   He threw it to Lao Huang.

  Old Huang licked it and had no interest, and gave it to four little milk dogs. The little milk dogs were eating and playing, but they were very happy.

   Mung bean jelly is pretty green, sea jelly is tawny, not as pretty as mung bean jelly.

   But it tastes more translucent than mung bean jelly.

  You can tell by looking at Lao Huang's reaction, this thing has no taste.

  It all depends on the seasoning to integrate the flavor.

Wang Yi used mashed garlic, coriander, shredded cucumber, and spicy millet as a side dish, added sesame oil, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce to adjust the sauce, and finally sprinkled some chopped sea rice and white sesame seeds. White, it is beautiful.

   He mixed a bowl and tasted it.

  The taste is cool and delicious.

  Sun Zhengnan, who hasn't gone back to class, likes to eat this bite. After eating, he squatted on the ground with a bowl and ate happily, saying, "It's better than Liangpi."

  Huang Xiaohua scooped a bowl, tasted it, and said with a smile, "How can chicken feathers turn into this? It's very strange. It tastes good, and the garlic paste tastes a bit rushed."

  Wang Yi said: "This cold dish relies on garlic paste to enhance its flavor. You will feel it delicious when you get used to it."

  Wang Xianghong followed and ate a bowl.

   The response was not as enthusiastic as eating Liangpi.

   But he also thinks this is a good cold dish in summer, because the taste is cooler than Liangpi.

  Wang Yi feels that people from the outer islands are more resistant to raw garlic, so you can mix it with chili oil, but garlic has a cooler feeling than chili oil, and it actually goes well with jelly.

   So seeing that the members didn't catch a cold with garlic, they put on chili oil.

   This little smell was scratching, and it came out all at once.

  Sea jelly became popular right away. As long as you add some chili oil and vinegar to taste, they feel sour, spicy, appetizing and cool. Like Liangpi, they are a good thing in summer.

  Wang Xianghong also likes the taste.

   After eating the chili oil mixed with sea jelly, he immediately went to organize the laborers to go out to the sea to dive and fish for stone cauliflower.

   However, the area around Xianggong Beach needs to be avoided, and the experience of returning to school on Jinlan Island left him with lingering fears.

  A good man, the backbone of a family, suddenly disappeared, leaving only the young and old, this kind of thing makes people feel very close.

  After eating at noon, Sun Zhengnan and Xu Heng still had to go back to County No. 1 Middle School.

   The two of them packed up and called to Qiuwei Water.

   Qiu Weishui came back with Ye Changan and his group. She didn't come back to be grumpy with Wang Yi, but to pick up the manuscript of "Long Aotian Global Adventure" that Wang Yi recently wrote.

   She is now Wang Yi's number one fan.

   The three of them converged and were ready to go to the county with the sales team.

   An unexpected guest arrives suddenly.

   is the stone red heart.

  Shi Hongxin came by himself, when Xu Heng, Sun Zhengnan and a few men in the sales team were eating watermelons and boasting in the shade.

   It was mainly Xu Heng bragging. He made a big deal about the capture of enemy special agents and joked with the members.

   Seeing Shi Hongxin's sweaty arrival, he was stunned.

  Sun Zhengnan silently handed him a piece of watermelon, and then winked at Shi Hongxin.

  Xu Heng took the watermelon to deliver it and asked, "Why are you here, Captain Shi? It's so hot this afternoon."

Shi Hong looked at him affectionately and said, "Mr. Xu, I heard from the people in our team this morning that you have done credit for the people and received a new ship awarded by the state, so I want to ask you what happened. what's the matter."

  Xu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that there was an enemy agent who spread rumors after the Owen typhoon, and I met with Mr. Sun and won it. It's nothing major."

   "This ship was not awarded to us, but to our production team."

  Shi Hongxin asked suspiciously: "Why should you reward your production team for the credit you have made yourself? I think this is egalitarianism."

   Xu Heng said: "Our team is of one mind. What's the point of rewarding us individually? It's exciting to reward the whole team."

   This time, he and Sun Zhengnan chose to have a boat as a reward for the production team in Tianya Island instead of a house as a reward for themselves, because they thought about joining the production team sincerely.

   He likes the military life himself. In the army, the emphasis is on the collective rather than the individual, so he is a little uncomfortable with the new society of reform and opening up after demobilization.

   After coming to Tianya Island, they still lived a large collective life on the island, which they were more comfortable with.

   What's more, the island is rich in people, simple in interpersonal communication, beautiful scenery, and abundant in food. Everyone calls him "teacher" when he goes out, and there are entertainment projects such as movies:

  The longer they stayed on the island, the more they liked the big group Tianya Island.

  Especially after hearing about Jinlan Island yesterday, they wanted to integrate into the collective life of Tianya Island.

  Jinlan Island as a whole is richer than Tianya Island, with good economic conditions and high living standards.

Huixue, such a good young man, originally had a good reputation in their production team, but after he died unexpectedly, although the production team arranged a funeral for Huixue under the arrangement of their branch secretary, the members of the same team did not want to help. head of his home.

The    individual contract responsibility system is like this, which greatly improves the labor enthusiasm of laborers and effectively improves the labor efficiency of the whole society.

   has also impacted the relationship between people - both urban and rural people have discovered it, and money is what matters. If you want to eat refined grains, meat, drink, and buy a boat and a house, you have to rely on money.

   Now there is a saying in the city, it is better to have a mother and father than to have a relationship with money;

  Everything looks at money.

Xu Heng didn't like that kind of indifferent life atmosphere, so after hearing Shi Hongxin's disapproval of their choice of handing over the reward to the team collective, he felt that there was no common topic between the two, and they were destined to not become one. right.

   So he said: "What, Captain Shi, Teacher Sun and I have to go to County No. 1 Middle School for a training meeting in the afternoon. I'm sorry, I can't entertain you, we'll be leaving soon."

  Shi Hongxin is a smart girl. Hearing what he said, he understood what he meant, and his eyes turned a little red.

   Feeling aggrieved.

  The girl came to look for her sweetheart with sweat and sweat, but her sweetheart had to deal with it hastily, and she would chase him away, so who would not feel wronged?

   She bit her lip and bravely looked directly at Xu Heng and asked: "Mr. Xu, you have made meritorious deeds to the people, do you despise swaying girls like me?"

   Xu Heng said: "Captain Shi, what you said is really ugly. What kind of people's hero are we? It's just good people making fun of us."

"The real heroes of the people are those soldiers who died in southern Xinjiang, those soldiers who lost their limbs and legs in the hail of bullets in southern Xinjiang. Teacher Sun and I did catch a few enemy spy elements, but it was a coincidence. I don't really think of myself as anything..."

   "If you really didn't take this matter to heart, then you wouldn't bring up this topic and say so many things." Shi Hongxin interrupted him.

  Xu Heng became impatient and said, "You are really messing around."

Shi Hongxin said aggrievedly: "Am I messing around? I shook the scull for two and a half hours, and I was tired and sunburned and my clothes were wringing out the water. I just wanted to talk to you, but you saw me and went to the county for a few words. Now you think I'm messing around?"

  Xu Heng said: "You go and ask Mr. Sun and the comrades in our sales team, am I trying to prevaricate you? Did I deliberately avoid you?"

   "The fact is that we took a day off yesterday morning and have to go back to class this afternoon!"

  Shi Hongxin was stunned after hearing his words.

   After being stunned for a full minute, she said quietly, "I'm the one who came here today, I shouldn't shave my head and be hot. It's true that I came to the door too suddenly."

   Hearing these sad words and seeing her resentful expression, Xu Heng softened his heart and wanted to comfort her.

   But he really didn't want to have any emotional disputes with Shi Hongxin in his future life, so he could only say hard-heartedly: "Captain Shi, let's communicate first in the future, and we'll make an appointment to meet if necessary."

   "Then what, you came here today and it was really tired and hot, so you can eat an iced watermelon in the shade first, and I'll get you a bottle of soda. You have a good rest, I have to go to the county later."

   He left in a hurry, and Wang Dongfeng came from the opposite side with his dinner: "Mr. Xu, are you going to the county with our sales team today?"

  Xu Heng said: "Yes - hey Fengzi, don't go yet, come with me."

  Wang Dongfeng asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

  Xu Heng put his arms around his shoulders and walked to the top of the mountain, and briefly explained the matter between him and Shi Hongxin.

   Finally, he said to Wang Dongfeng: "I have to avoid her, so you can help me get her the soda. Besides, can't you be articulate? Help me comfort her."

  Wang Dongfeng said in embarrassment: "The matter between men and women is the most complicated, I am an outsider..."

"No no no, you are my brother, you are not an outsider, but my insider, and Shi Hongxin and I are outsiders." Xu Heng said quickly, "Well, I won't let you help in vain, I'll give you a good one. thing."

   He took out his plastic lighter and gave it to Wang Dongfeng.

  Wang Dongfeng fell in love immediately after seeing it. He banged a few times and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll help you talk to her."

  Xu Heng went to buy two bottles of soda, Wang Dongfeng took them away together and happily rushed to the pier reef beach.

   Seeing this, Xu Heng was speechless: "You can just take one bottle, I bought the other bottle of dog grass for myself to quench my thirst!"

   He had to buy another bottle.

  Wang Yi helped him open the bottle cap and lay on the counter curiously and asked, "Mr. Xu, is your daughter-in-law looking for you?"

  Xu Heng quickly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense like this, you can't ruin the innocence of Comrade Shi Hongxin, let alone my innocence."

   He hurried back to the dormitory.

   This is the teacher's dormitory is applying a layer of glue and then sticking the wallpaper.

  It's best to take advantage of the time when they go to training for decoration. There is formaldehyde in the glue, so it's best to leave it vacant for a month after use.

  Wang Yi went to the teachers' dormitory after he had nothing to do. Xu Heng was just going out. He said to Xu Heng, "I'll build a toilet for you."

  Xu Heng saw the ceramic squatting pan in his hand.

Now the toilets of new buildings and units in the city use this kind of snow-white squatting pan. He was very happy when he saw it, and said, "Okay, this way our dormitory is more presentable than the teachers of the County No. 1 Middle School. The dorm is fine."

   Most of the toilets used in buildings in the city are still built with cement bricks. They are not as beautiful as squatting toilets and they are not as clean as squatting toilets.

  Cement and bricks can absorb odor molecules, so no matter how clean the toilets in old buildings are, there is a little odor.

   There is no odor after using this squatting toilet.

  Wang Yi put down the squatting toilet and went inside to have a look.

   Several old people are putting up wallpaper. They are patient and put it on little by little, making the wallpaper fit the wall very well.

   On the wallpaper are vulgar peony flowers. Huge peony flowers bloom all over the walls, but they are elegant in this era.

  The old people were amazed while sticking the wallpaper: "I have yellow peonies here."

   "The white peony still looks good!"

  Wang Yi went in and turned around and found that the members of the team were really working, and they had wrapped the door and window frames all morning.

   He brought the frame board from 22 years ago, which imitated the style of red sandalwood, and the texture and paint color are very beautiful.

   But not as practical as solid wood planks.

   Of course Wang Yi didn't expect them to last for many years.

  According to his plan, with the development of the business of the commune and team, the collective income of the team on Tianya Island can increase considerably, and the school will be given priority to build teachers' apartments.

  The foundation of this house is too poor. It can make people live a little more comfortable with a soft decoration. There is no way to overhaul it and then live for a long time.

  Take the roof as an example. The properly decorated ceiling is a key project. The seaweed house cannot have a ceiling, and the walls are too short. Once the ceiling space is too narrow.

  The work of wrapping windowsills and windows, pasting wallpapers, etc. has a low technical content. At least in the case of rough production, it does not require a high technical level, so that weak and light laborers can do it.

   Repairing toilets is not enough.

  Wang Yi put down the squatting toilet and went to Wang Xianghong, and then brought a squatting toilet.

Wang Xianghong stroked the squatting pan and said, "This thing is made like a white porcelain artwork—by the way, Mr. Wang, what about the Yikusitian porcelain you took from me before? It's not that you want to leave it in the school for the students. use?"

  Wang Yi said bluntly: "When I went to Shanghai, I heard that someone was buying this thing, so I sold it directly. It sold for thousands of yuan. At first, I used the money to manage the meals for the students."

   Wang Xianghong said: "Oh, the price has risen a lot."

   He didn't ask any more questions, but discussed with Wang Yi about repairing the toilet.

  Wang Yi means can we seal off the dry toilets in the teachers' dormitory and Wang Xianghong's house, and then insert the squatting pan into the toilet, so that it is hygienic and beautiful.

However, neither of them are experts. After discussing for a while, they can only choose to open a new toilet next to the dry toilet. Just go to the toilet.

   This is a relatively large amount of work. Wang Xianghong pondered it for a while and said that he happened to have a recent connection with Jinlan Island. There was a master who knew housing engineering on Jinlan Island.

   The rest is left to Wang Xianghong, and Wang Yi is free here.

   He walked with his hands behind his back, humming a song leisurely.

   Wang Xianghong saw it and asked, "Mr. Wang, have you been doing anything recently?"

  Wang Yi said casually, "It's okay."

   Wang Xianghong smiled and said: "Well, it's the end of July, and the jellyfish will bloom. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will take you out to sea to work and run. In August, we will go out to sea to catch jellyfish!"
