Shen Anan woke up early in the morning and rubbed her eyes, only to find that it was still pitch black outside the window. She was confused and quickly picked up the watch on the bedside table. It was already past six in the morning.
There's definitely something wrong with this weather.
She was worried that if the weather changed, transporting the fish would be difficult. Thinking of this, she quickly put on her coat, trotted to the beach, and found Li Haizi.
"Brother Haizi, look at the sky, should we not set sail today?" Shen Anan pointed at the dark clouds in the sky, with a hint of worry in his tone.
After hearing this, Li Haizi looked up at the sky, then looked at Shen Anan, and frowned: "Anan, I know you are worried, but if this fish is not transported to Hecheng today, it will go bad."
Hearing this, Shen Anan frowned. She knew that Li Haizi was telling the truth. If the fish went bad, all their efforts would be in vain.
"Brother Haizi, what do you think we should do?"
Shen Anan asked helplessly.
The main reason was that she was not familiar with shipping and was not sure about the situation.
Li Haizi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "An An, we have to take a gamble. Let's start the boat now before the wind and waves start."
Shen Anan looked at Li Haizi. She knew this was the only way. After all, Li Haizi had been in the sea for a while. He was sure, which was better. So, she nodded: "Okay, Brother Haizi, let's take a gamble."
Li Haizi turned around and began to greet the crew, while Shen Anan went to inform Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. The atmosphere at the seaside suddenly became tense, and several people were preparing for the upcoming voyage.
After hearing what Shen Anan said, Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen immediately started to help without saying a word. While Uncle Shen was busy, he comforted Shen Anan: "Anan, don't worry. We in Wangjiazhuang have seen all kinds of storms. We will definitely be able to get through this time."
Shen Anan looked at Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. She knew that the two old people were encouraging her, so she nodded.
Finally, at ten o'clock in the morning, everything was ready, and the boat slowly left the shore and headed towards Hecheng. Shen Anan stood on the dock, looking at the ship gradually going away, her eyes full of worry.
She lowered her head and glanced at her watch. Time waits for no one. The train ticket is for 11 o'clock, and if she doesn't leave now, she will miss it.
Shen Anan turned around and said to Uncle Shen and his wife, "Grandpa, grandma, I have to go. The train doesn't wait for anyone."
Hearing this, Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen nodded quickly: "An An, go quickly, we are here."
Shen Anan nodded. She said goodbye to Mr. Shen and his wife and hurried to the train station. But the sky was getting darker. She felt uneasy. In this weather, people on the boat had to be careful.
After getting on the train, Shen Anan felt a little more at ease. She leaned back in her seat, looking at the passing scenery outside the window, but her heart was thinking about the situation on the ship.
Over in Hecheng, she had already arranged for Shen Xiaoyu to go over to meet the boat, as long as the boat could dock steadily.
She hurried back because she had to arrange the follow-up matters. Once the fish is transported to Hecheng, it must be processed quickly without any delay. She had to determine the loss of this trip's fish, pay Li Haizi and his gang, and arrange the cooking of the fish with the kitchen staff. These things had to be done one by one and there was no rush.
The train rumbled forward, but Shen Anan's heart seemed to be filled with fire, making her sit restlessly.
It was not early, and soon it was noon. Shen Anan had not eaten since she got up, and her stomach was empty.
Fortunately, her grandmother, Aunt Shen, came over in the morning and brought her six or seven steamed buns, so she had something to eat now.
She opened her shoulder bag and took out a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper.
Just as I was about to get off the bus, I suddenly heard a commotion coming from the next car. She frowned, wondering what had happened.
At this moment, a lady sitting next to her glanced at her steamed bun and smiled, "This steamed bun looks delicious. I have some pickled vegetables here. Would you like some?"
Hearing this, Shen An paused.
She also felt that eating only steamed buns was not satisfying, so she took a steamed bun and exchanged it with the elder sister for some pickles.
"Oh, girl, you are so nice!"
The eldest sister never thought that she could exchange pickles for white flour buns. She was so moved.
Just as he finished speaking, the noise in the next carriage became louder and louder, and Shen Anan frowned.
Seeing her curious look, the elder sister said mysteriously, "Girl, you don't know what's going on, do you? Someone in the front carriage bought a child, but the child refused to be with them, and now they are making a big fuss!"
When Shen Anan heard this, she almost spit out the steamed bun in her mouth: "What? Buying a child? This is a big deal."
The eldest sister nodded and continued, "That's right! I'm wondering too. You said that life has not been that hard in the past few years. Life was really hard a few years or ten years ago. You said that you managed to get through it, but now you sell your child, and it's a girl. How pitiful!"
After Shen Anan heard this, she followed the crowd to the front carriage out of curiosity.
She pushed through the crowd and looked inside. She was shocked to find that the little girl was actually Xiaofang!
At this time, the flight attendant also rushed over. She was also confused when she saw the scene in front of her.
The buyer was a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh. He held Xiaofang's hand tightly and shouted, "We spent money. We bought this child from her mother. What do you think of this?"
