On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.
However, on the verge of death, s...
Recalling the hardships of these past years, Aunt Lin wiped her eyes and said with a choked voice:
"Thank you, thank you so much. Since you came, there's finally something to look forward to."
Zuo Ling felt uncomfortable after being thanked, and pointed to the sweet potato and potato planting box, "The potatoes and sweet potatoes don't seem to be growing as well as the vegetables."
"They said the fruit might be a little small, but it's okay if it's small; it's good enough to have something to eat."
"Hey, you guys are here." Guo Qi burst in, covered in sweat.
"Why don't you go down and take a look? It's quite lively down there."
Upon hearing that Zuo Ling and her brother had returned, Guo Qi dropped what he was doing and ran back. He wasn't so naive as to believe in ghost ships or anything like that.
The biggest variable in his life was meeting Zuo Ling and her brother.
Zuo Ling said, "A windfall from heaven, congratulations!"
Guo Qi stared into her eyes: "Do you really think this is a windfall?"
"If this isn't a windfall, what else could it be? It just shows you know how to choose a location; you've picked a lucky spot."
Guo Qi chuckled twice, his words carrying a double meaning:
"I think I'm only truly blessed since I met you two siblings."
Aunt Lin chimed in:
"That's right, our village has benefited a lot from you. You and your sister are the lucky stars of our village."
"Really? Since we're considered lucky stars, won't you treat us to a meal?"
Guo Qi patted his chest, his voice filled with heroic pride:
"Please, please, you must. Aunt Lin, go to He Xiao's place to get the things, and cook a couple more dishes to properly entertain our lucky star."
Aunt Lin beamed and raised her voice, "Okay, I'll go right away."
He walked away with a brisk, breezy gait.
"Come on, let's go down the cliff and have a look, it's very lively."
The cargo ship had been sitting in the space for months, and Zuo Ling was already tired of looking at it. She had no desire to see it and declined, saying:
"I'm not going. I don't understand anything, what can I possibly see?"
Guo Qi looked at Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao: "Don't you want to go and take a look either?"
Both of them shook their heads at the same time, saying, "What's so interesting? We've seen it all before."
Guo Qi's eyes darkened. Before coming here, he wasn't sure, but now he was certain: the cargo ship was definitely related to Pei Nansheng and his sister.
The reason is simple: what boy as young as Xiao Hao doesn't have curiosity?
The village children are always running around on the cargo ship, never stopping for a moment.
Xiao Hao, however, remained unfazed, which meant he had seen it before.
Pei Nansheng asked him, "Can the cargo ship still sail?"
"It's under repair. We don't know yet whether it will be open."
Pei Nansheng patted him on the shoulder, "Not bad, you can even find someone in the village to repair cargo ships, what a talent."
Guo Qi glanced at him and said, "As long as there's something, there's always a way. The only problem is that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice."
"Such a big ship, it must take quite a few people to operate, have you assembled a full crew?"
"If we can't find enough people, we'll just hire more. We'll always find someone," Guo Qi said confidently.
"So, you really plan to drive it back to China?"
This is the real reason Zuo Ling came today.
Guo Qi sighed, "I have this idea, but we don't have enough oil."
Zuo Ling rolled her eyes. Not enough oil? There are plenty of oil drums on the cargo ship, isn't that enough?
"There is a lot of oil on board, but not much heavy oil. If we use diesel, the power will be insufficient and the fuel consumption will be short."
This... Zuo Ling really doesn't understand. She thought diesel fuel would be fine.
