Chu Xuan looked at Chu Dashan helplessly.
What tricks is this old man going to pull again?
"Uncle Chu, don't you dislike going out to sea? Why do you suddenly want to go with me?"
Chu Dashan chuckled, "I suddenly want to try my luck at sea fishing. Who knows, maybe I can get rich."
Chu Xuan looked at him with a puzzled look, "Try your luck? Get rich?"
Chu Dashan, who is usually too lazy to do anything, is so diligent during the Chinese New Year?
Chu Dashan continued to chuckle, "That's right. When I was in the city, I met a master who was very accurate in his fortune-telling! He said that if I went out to sea on New Year's Day, I would definitely make a fortune. At that time, I told him he was talking nonsense, and who would have nothing better to do than go out to sea on New Year's Day. He didn't say anything. Now it seems that there really are people who go out to sea on New Year's Day, so I want to follow him."
Chu Xuan held his forehead with his hand, "That person must be lying to you."
Chu Dashan refused to give up. "I'd rather believe it than not. Xiaoxuan, please take this as a plea from me. Take me on board! I can drive the boat, and after we're on board, I can switch with Chen Ze. This way, Chen Ze can get a better rest."
This successfully convinced Chu Xuan, "Whether you can get on board or not is not up to me, but I will talk to Grandpa Wang. He needs to agree."
"As long as you agree, you don't have to say it yourself. I'll go find him right away."
Chu Dashan left in a hurry. He had just asked for Chu Xuan's consent because he wanted Chu Xuan to help him sell ambergris.
As for Wang Depin, he is confident that he can convince him.
Mu Qinlao and his wife both felt that something was wrong with Chu Dashan, but they didn't say much.
Chu Xuan took enough thick clothes, packed them in a bag, and walked towards the pier.
On the way, I couldn’t help but recall the New Year’s Eve of my previous life.
There were no fishing boats out to sea from the village, and Chu Dashan did not board any boat.
A lot has changed in this life.
After arriving at the dock, Chu Xuan immediately told Mu Chenze that Chu Dashan wanted to go with them.
Mu Chenze frowned, "Is Chu Dashan trying to stir up trouble?"
Chu Xuan responded in a low voice, "Not really, is he? He's still counting on me to help sell ambergris."
"That's right. I guess he really was fooled by the fortune teller. Let him be! If Grandpa Wang agrees to let him come on board, I have no objection."
Mu Chenze took the bag containing thick clothes from Xiaoxuan and put it in the cabin.
At this moment, Chu Dashan has already found Wang Depin.
"Village Chief, please let me go out to sea with you! I can drive a boat, and I can take turns driving the boat with Chen Ze and Chen Yang, so that we can all have some rest time."
Wang Depin felt a headache. "Why would an old man like you get involved?"
"I just want to go out to sea and catch big fish."
"How can you be so sure you can catch a big one?"
"I have experience. I can definitely catch a big fish. How about this? If I do catch a big fish, we'll split the money 50-50. I'll keep half and give you the other half."
"I don't dare ask you for money."
“Then I’ll donate it to the village.”
Wang Depin was silent.
Just when Chu Dashan thought the matter was over, Wang Depin spoke again, "Deal. But let me be frank: if you disrespect our village factory's customers, I will revoke your eligibility for village benefits."
Chu Dashan responded seriously, "I dare not disrespect my customers. I absolutely put my customers first in everything I do."
“What if you don’t catch the big one?”
"If I can't catch any fish, I'll clean the village office for free for a month!"
Wang Depin chuckled, "Okay, I'll take you to the boat in a bit. The village office is in need of a cleaner. Of course, if you really catch something big, donate half to the village, and I can make it a security guard's salary starting tonight."
Chu Dashan said with gratitude, "Then let me thank you first!"
Wang Depin looked Chu Dashan up and down and asked, "When did you become so polite?"
Chu Dashan smiled awkwardly. "Actually, I know what politeness is. I just used to be too reckless to bother with it. As they say, bad company corrupts the mind of the individual. I was brought up by Feng Chunhua and became naive. Now that I'm counting on Xiaoxuan and Chenze to support me in my old age, I naturally have to behave like them."
"I love hearing that. When the midnight snack is ready, we can carry it over together and take you to the ship."
"Okay."
An hour later, supper and tomorrow's meals were delivered to the boat.
Mr. Gu and his entourage also boarded the ship.
As for the new addition of Chu Dashan on the boat, Wang Depin specifically explained to Mr. Gu, "This is Old Chu, who is in charge of sailing. He has over 20 years of sailing experience."
Mr. Gu was very satisfied, "Very good!"
In his mind, the person who drove the boat last time was not as good as Chen Yang and Chen Ze. He wanted to change him this time, but he didn't feel comfortable doing it.
Wang Depin didn't know that he had gained another wave of favor in front of Mr. Gu.
Chu Dashan walked into the cab consciously.
After the boat started, Chu Xuan led Qian Xiaolan into the lounge.
In order to protect privacy, Chu Xuan specially pulled a thick curtain to separate it from the men's lounge.
Qian Xiaolan was very satisfied.
The boat is moving at a steady speed.
Wang Chenyang stood beside Chu Dashan and said, "Uncle Chu, I never expected you to be so talented! This is the first time I know you're such a good boat driver."
Chu Dashan spoke frankly, "When I was a boatman, I deliberately didn't drive the boat properly. Otherwise, all the work would be mine. I don't want to work myself to death for a few dollars a day. In fact, I can do a lot of things."
"Boasting?"
“I’m definitely not bragging.”
Wang Chenyang didn't argue with him. Whatever he said was the truth!
There's no point in arguing about it.
So he changed the subject, "Uncle Chu, drive towards the island. The specific location is..."
Before he could finish, Chu Dashan spoke up, "I know the place. You can go and rest! I'll drive the boat, don't worry."
Wang Chenyang is not worried at all, "I'm not sleepy, I can stay here with you for a while."
"Oh well!"
Chu Dashan concentrated on sailing.
During this period, Mu Chenze also came over and saw that Chu Dashan was driving the boat very well, so he didn't say much.
Call Wang Chenyang to the deck to discuss it.
Tonight Wang Chenyang is accompanying Chu Dashan in the cab, and on the way back, Mu Chenze comes to accompany him.
When Chu Dashan saw Wang Chenyang come back, he instantly realized that he did not trust him.
Who made him have a bad reputation in the past?
Besides, he doesn't need other people's trust.
This time I came out, I wanted to make a fortune.
Whether you can get rich depends not only on luck but also on experience.
Two hours later, Chu Dashan felt a little sleepy. "Chenyang, you drive the boat! I need to take a nap."
"good."
As soon as Wang Chenyang replaced Chu Dashan, Chu Dashan started snoring while sitting next to him.
What a sound sleep!
Mr. Gu and the others are resting in the cabin now. I will call them when we get to the destination.
After an hour and a half, we arrived near the island.
This place is suitable for sea fishing and the boat can be parked safely.
Just as I was about to wake Chu Dashan up, he had already opened his eyes.
"Are we there yet? I'll go wake them up for sea fishing."
There was excitement in his tone.
Wang Chenyang didn't expect Chu Dashan to be so alert. He woke up as soon as the boat stopped. This was a big contrast to the Chu Dashan he knew!
Chu Dashan sleeps like a pig, which is consistent with his previous character setting.
Could it be that Chu Dashan has become more diligent? Is he really trying to be a good person?
