Another two years later.
Qinglongwan has completely become a tourist coastal city.
Blue sky, white clouds, silvery white sand beaches, the vast ocean, and a coastline that stretches for ten miles. Countless cruise ships and pleasure boats are sailing in this poetic and picturesque paradise on earth.
"Ding, ding-dong, ding-dong."
A tourist walked up to a wind chime made of seashells and asked with great interest, "Boss, how much is this wind chime?"
Xiang's mother, who was playing with her phone in front of the stall, immediately looked up and said, "This is a wind chime made of deep-sea pearl shells, two hundred yuan."
"Ah? So expensive, but they look so good, give me one!"
Mother Xiang quickly wrapped the wind chime for the other party, then smiled and said, "Have a nice day."
At this time, a local villager from the nearby Yanlong Village shouted at Xiang's mother in dissatisfaction: "Aunt He, your son is already such a big boss, why are you still here competing with us for the wind chime business?"
Xiang's mother immediately said, "I'm just sitting there doing nothing. I like to sell wind chimes on the beach while enjoying the scenery and waiting for the fleet to come back."
Mother Xiang smiled as she spoke, "A few years ago, my son picked up shells here, strung them into wind chimes, and sold them. I heard they went to Antarctica again this time, and I don't know when they will come back."
When the villager heard Xiang's mother mention Xiang Yang, he immediately laughed twice and dared not speak anymore.
Qinglongwan used to be a very poor fishing village.
It is because of the emergence of a respectable figure like Xiang Yang in the village that Qinglongwan is what it is today.
"Yes, the first college student in the village who wore a big red flower and was unparalleled in the world, after graduation, he really changed his entire hometown." The villager said with emotion.
"Xiang Yang? Who is the Xiang Yang you are talking about?" A tourist from another place asked in confusion after hearing the conversation between the two.
"Xiang Yang? He is the pride of our Qinglongwan!" The villager who was initially dissatisfied with Xiang's mother coming out to sell wind chimes puffed out his chest and said proudly.
... ...
Pengcheng, Ocean University.
In an ordinary dormitory.
The four brothers in the dormitory who are about to graduate are holding a symposium.
"Third brother, I heard that you are from a fishing village?" the dormitory leader asked a rather shy young man.
The shy young man nodded, not feeling inferior at all because he was from a fishing village. "Yes, I come from Qinglongwan, which used to be a very poor fishing village."
"Third brother, I heard that fishing is very hard work. Your family must have suffered a lot to support your schooling, right?" asked the second brother in the dormitory.
The shy young man smiled and shook his head, "My family was indeed very poor in the past. The village funded me a lot to go to this university."
"Supported by the village? Then you must be the first college student in the village, right? I heard that only the first college student out of the village will be taken care of by the whole village." said the fourth brother in the dormitory.
"No, I am the second college student in the village." said the shy young man proudly.
"No matter whether you are the first or the second, it's not easy. Third brother, let me tell you, it's not easy for college graduates to find jobs nowadays. The second and fourth brothers' families have already arranged jobs, but you and I probably haven't found a job yet? Let me recommend one to you." said the dormitory leader.
The shy young man shook his head and said firmly: "No, I want to go back to my hometown to develop."
The other three people in the dormitory were frightened by the shy young man's words.
The eldest brother in the dormitory tried to dissuade him: "Don't make a fuss, Third Brother. I know your hometown has helped you and you have feelings for your hometown, but they helped you so that you could get out of that poor ditch."
The shy young man shook his head, a trace of yearning on his face, "I will use what I have learned, return to the village, and eventually become a person like him."
The other three people in the dormitory looked at each other, wondering what had gone wrong with the third brother and why he had become like him.
The shy young man raised his head and looked into the distance. He seemed to see
The boundless sea.
Soft silvery white beach.
Vast and majestic.
Generation after generation of fishermen have lived by the sea, tenaciously surviving here and taking root here.
As the sea breeze blows over, you can faintly hear the laughter of the fishermen returning from the sea with a good harvest.
oh!
That’s right!
There is also a huge fleet riding the wind and waves.
"Brother Yang, we clearly encountered a large school of sea fish just now, why don't we cast another net?" Fang Youqun stood at the bow of a large ship and shouted angrily at another large ship.
Xiang Yang smiled, made trumpet shapes with his hands, and shouted loudly: "It's time to return."
"It doesn't take much time to return."
Xiang Yang smiled and turned his head to look at the group of sea fish migrating behind him.
His eyes saw very clearly that there were many immature young fish in the large school of sea fish.
In recent years, Xiang Yang has traveled all over the world and has clearly felt that the overall fishery resources in the entire ocean are declining.
"Hey, Brother Yang."
On the other side, Fang Youqun saw that Xiang Yang did not answer and continued shouting loudly.
Someone next to him immediately whispered to him, "Forget it, the boss said he doesn't want to fish anymore, so he must have a reason."
At this moment, Xiang Yang's voice came from a distance:
From tomorrow on, be a happy person
Feed horses, chop wood, travel the world
From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables
I have a house facing the sea, with flowers blooming in spring
From tomorrow on, communicate with every loved one
Tell them how happy I am
The lightning of happiness told me
I will tell everyone
Give every river and every mountain a warm name
Stranger, I bless you too
I wish you a bright future
May you find your rich partner
May you find happiness in this world
I just want to face the sea
Spring is here and flowers are blooming!
Fang Youqun was stunned.
Father Xiang walked onto the deck.
Chen Qingsheng was startled. "Captain, you?"
"Relying on this vast ocean, I have earned enough wealth. Over the years, my fleet has continued to expand, and I have been endlessly demanding from this increasingly barren ocean. Today, I want to give back to the ocean." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Chen Qingsheng was horrified, "Captain, what are you going to do?"
"Overseas fishing is my hobby, and I am proud to have visited every fishing ground on this ocean!"
"But after this return voyage, I will no longer be the captain of this fleet."
Chen Qingsheng seemed to understand something. "Captain, what are you going to do?"
Xiang Yang smiled and looked into the distance.
"After returning this time, I will devote myself to the cause of environmental protection. I will drive a small boat to clean up the garbage in the ocean, rescue helpless turtles in the deep sea, and go to Antarctica to become a volunteer for animal protection..."
