Fish baby comes back

When I entered "Beijing xx Technology Co., Ltd." on the enterprise registration website at night, I couldn't restrain my inner agitation. Just like a fish returning to the sea, a thousand waves became the driving force and destination after drifting.

This heartfelt happiness is like hitting something hidden in the depths. This is deja vu, and it was a long time ago. Looking in the mirror, the turbid pupil bursts with pure light, just like the scene when Neptune was awakened in an underwater museum when he was a child, as if announcing his return from the river and sea.

When I was a child, catching fish in the river was my happiest day. When I was four years old, my brother threw me into the pond and struggled to learn to swim. I can't live without water, even the two-meter-high waves travel fearlessly. Whether it's the river, gully bay, reservoir in the west of the village, or Tu Hai (a tributary of the Yellow River, Bohai Sea), where there are fish, there is my shadow, which makes me immersed in a fairy tale kingdom of happy labor and self-sufficiency.

Whenever I meet a ditch with water, after observing the surrounding environment, I will dive, sink my body into the water, make a "net mouth" gesture with my hands at the bottom of the water, move closer to the middle at a very slow speed, and carefully touch every sediment and debris that can be touched. But be careful that there will be a lot of glass slag underwater, and there will be karyu with poisonous needles. I am often stabbed all over. When you feel a greasy feeling, move your hands inward with lightning speed, grab the fish head instantly and put it in the fish pocket on your back. The whole process may not last more than ten seconds, or it may take a long time to get nothing, but it is intoxicated with it and has no idea about all the scenes around it.

The real master of catching fish is to imitate his hands into the swimming form of fish, touch the fish casually, and then catch it by conditioned reflex, which requires thousands of attempts and understandings.

The process of catching fish and the pleasure of harvesting were the most primitive basic abilities of human beings to hunt and survive tens of thousands of years ago, but now there are more fishing nets, harpoons and other fishing tools. This happiness and self-sufficiency hidden in the deepest part of genetic evolution once again awakened me! Every time I catch a fish for my parents to taste, and then give it to my neighbor, which deepens this happy feeling. I have no idea about the delicious fish.

For decades, only when I catch fish will I enter a state of complete selflessness. I remember that once the inlet of a neighboring village began to catch fish crazily. After I got the news, I picked up the fishing net and went straight to the fishing place without shoes. During the running, I was so excited that my legs bent and I couldn't walk. I even tripped myself, and my knee was knocked out of a big hole, but I didn't feel blood. I didn't feel pain until I finished fishing. Another time, I caught fish underwater and sucked some leeches on me. It took me a long time to feel something was wrong. The Yellow River is flooded with parasites such as leeches and blood sucking worms, but I have been immersed in the stinking ditch for a long time and kept company with water snakes. I have been "immune to the five poisons" for a long time. Now, if I think about the gutter, I may not have that passion.

I remember when the Haihe River was deepest, the tide was at the bottom and the river just passed my waist, which was a good time to catch fish. On the first line of Tianshui, the red sunset splashed into the water, and the beautiful scenery was not collected. And I concentrate on catching fish and keep stuffing it into the fish pocket. In an instant, thunder and lightning, heavy rain poured down. I squatted in the warm river, and the graceful water snakes swam around and faced each other. Looking up at the tidal river in the distance, water and sky are the same.

When my family found me, it was already ten o'clock at night and the light was still on. My net bag is still not full of fish and crabs. It turned out that there was a big hole in the bottom, and they slipped away quietly, but I was still glad to experience that smell in my sleep.

Of course, catching fish will also face many dangers, not only poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, glass scorpions, but also digging holes to catch crabs. The hand that was caught was injured, and the hand that was pulled by the shell when diving to catch clams was like peeling a layer of skin. The body soaked in water for a long time will have edema, dizziness caused by hunger, and direct sunlight will make the skin desquamate seriously. I often have to walk dozens of miles on Yuan Ye. And these difficulties are nothing compared with love in my eyes.

In the first summer vacation, my parents went out to work, and my brother and I became "left-behind children" and needed to be self-sufficient. Every morning, the two brothers carry net bags and soak in the water to catch fish. At noon, my brother weighed every bag, so I pushed a car taller than me to sell it in Shili Baxiang. At noon, I pushed the car and peddled it in the street. When the villagers saw me, they said to the children playing with mud, "You look so small, making money by yourself and playing with mud." The children grinned at me and made faces. An old man encouraged me to shout out. My uncle and aunt took care of my business and sold it soon. Now I'm thinking about how that young soul, packed in a naturally weak body, got up the courage to walk into the street and kept shouting "sell fish, fresh fish." Probably at that time, I was sincere in my heart, not just to get more than a dozen pieces of income enough to buy ten pounds of eggs every day.

When I grow up, my brother will go out to work. I began to walk dozens of miles to buy a good fishing net, netting the children in the village to catch fish with me and give them their own shares. In Shili Baxiang, whenever the river overflows and the tide sinks, we are the first to cast a net to catch fish, and we are also the one with the richest harvest. The villagers standing on the shore watching us catch fish all call me "fish king". I also proudly promised my friends that I would buy a fishing boat when I grew up and cast a net to catch big fish.

But later, the fish in the whole reservoir were poisoned by adults overnight, as well as in rivers, ditches and anywhere! They bleached their bellies and asked them to pick them up, while I stared at them and cried. Without fish, the reservoir has become stagnant water at the bottom of the water, and there is no soul. Occasionally, a few tadpoles add some vitality to this extinction. How I hope this fish can come back, not to catch fish, but for a friendship, a happiness and a sacred nature! The innocence of the past, the unadorned nature, is naturally in the memory of the soul. Fish is a gift from nature. I don't steal, cheat or rob. I embrace that love, that satisfaction, that original ambition.

Now I feel happiness from the bottom of my heart. Starting a business and catching fish are both gifts from nature, and I can repay my labor with satisfaction. I am not satisfied with the deliberate arrangement. I prefer to enjoy the open-minded fun and the stimulation of action with my own efforts, without involving the flaunting and criticism of others, only myself, only the team and our fish.

At this moment, we put away the greed in human nature, don't forget our active mind, and be a "fish wretched" on the road to entrepreneurship. Adhere to happiness, adhere to innocence, adhere to the gratitude of nature, happiness is in this journey! I firmly believe that myself and my team are not born to make money and start a business, but to start a business!

Well, at this moment, the fish baby is back!
