On the taxi back to Ocean University, Bai Yu's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a notification of a bank transfer.
"Brothers, the money from selling the fish has arrived! Shuangzi, Asheng, should I transfer the money to your bank cards, or to WeChat or Alipay?"
"Hmm? Wait a minute, this amount doesn't seem right. I feel like Uncle Sun transferred a few thousand yuan too much to us."
Bai Yu was just about to distribute the money to Li Shuang and Lu Sheng when he noticed that the amount received was a bit off.
It was originally supposed to be 196,000, but Uncle Sun rounded it up and transferred 200,000 to him.
This suddenly resulted in an extra three thousand yuan being transferred. What's going on?
Bai Yu then made a phone call to Uncle Sun. After communicating with Uncle Sun, she learned that the money was to reimburse Wang Hai for his meal that day.
In his words, it was enough that Bai Yu and Wang Hai had the intention to treat them to a meal, but when you're out and about, how can you expect your child to pay for your meal? So he decided to treat them to this meal.
Soon, the four of them returned to the male dormitory of Ocean University. As soon as they entered, they lay down on their respective beds, not wanting to move at all.
But even if you don't want to do anything, there's one person who still has to: Bai Yu, who has to transfer money to the others.
They really made a lot of money on this voyage. Bai Yu earned the most, and he and Wang Hai together accounted for 80% of the total income. Bai Yu then took 60% of that, and he alone received more than 90,000 yuan.
Wang Hai earned less, only 60,000 yuan. This time, Li Shuang earned more than Lu Sheng, with an income of over 20,000 yuan, while Lu Sheng only earned a little over 10,000 yuan.
If you ask Li Shuang and Lu Sheng whether they envy or are jealous of Bai Yu and Wang Hai, what do you think?
After all, we all went out to sea on the same ship, stayed in the same crew quarters, and ate and drank the same things, so why is there such a big difference in our earnings?
Let alone comparing them to Bai Yu and Wang Hai together, they couldn't even compare to one person.
First of all, I'm definitely envious, since Bai Yu and Wang Hai are making so much money. But I'm not really jealous.
After all, Bai Yu was the one who led them on their fishing trips and beachcombing trips. Without Bai Yu's guidance, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to earn money, not to mention that they earned quite a bit of money this semester.
So there is envy, but no jealousy.
Besides the money they each received, they also received several thousand yuan in the dormitory's shared account. This money came from the flying fish and rays they caught on the deck during the fish tide, which amounted to the money they made from selling the catch.
This money will be used for future dorm gatherings, so that whenever there's something going on in the dorm, Bai Yu and the others won't have to scheme and trick others into treating them.
While it can be fun to trick others into treating you to a meal, doing it this way is ultimately not a good idea, since it's always either Li Shuang or Lu Sheng who ends up treating.
Bai Yu is too shrewd to be fooled, and Wang Hai is slow to react; they're too embarrassed to try to fool him...
After dividing all the money, Bai Yu and the other three remained silent. After some time, they all fell asleep.
For Bai Yu and her three friends, apart from a social practice class, they had no classes all day.
They had already completed their social practice course, which involved catching fish on a fishing boat. However, their assignment wasn't about fishing; it was about going to the fishing boat for an on-site internship, getting a note from the captain, and having it stamped. That was considered their completion.
After all, they are studying marine science. Although it is marine science, as long as the practical work they find is related to the sea, it is fine.
The captain of the fishing boat naturally agreed to Bai Yu's request. It was not a difficult task for him; it was just a matter of writing a note and stamping it.
For the next few days, Bai Yu and the others attended classes at school diligently, without mentioning their previous profits from their sea voyage, and none of them showed any intention of boasting to others.
They were quite clear about the principle of keeping one's wealth hidden; making a fortune quietly was the right way to go.
Time passed day by day, and soon the semester was coming to an end. The day that Bai Yu and Wang Hai feared the most was about to arrive.
Why are Bai Yu and Wang Hai afraid of this? Isn't a holiday a good thing?
Having a holiday is certainly a good thing, but before the holiday, there is one thing that cannot be avoided no matter what, and that is the final exam.
For a slacker, the scariest thing is exams, let alone Bai Yu and Wang Hai, who were admitted to Ocean University through special admissions. Their academic performance is even worse; they are the worst of the worst.
Logically, athletes like them, admitted through special sports programs, should go to a sports academy. But Bai Yu has a system, and one related to the ocean at that.
So the two of them came to the Ocean College of Ocean University. Unexpectedly, not only did they end up in the Ocean College, but they also had to take final exams—the kind that required passing. Failing meant retaking the exams, which would affect their graduation...
The final exams lasted for two days, and those two days were torture for Bai Yu and Wang Hai. When they looked at the test papers for each subject, their minds were completely blank, and they spent the two days in a daze.
"Brother Yu, I wish you and Ah Hai a Happy New Year in advance. Ah Sheng and I will be leaving now. If you have time during the winter vacation, I'll come to Sanya to visit you, or you and Ah Hai can come to Guangzhou. I'll cover all your food and lodging!"
"Brother Yu, Shuangzi and I will be leaving now. If you have time, I'll come to Sanya to visit you. I won't invite you to my hometown; it's all snow and ice there, nothing fun to do."
"However, next summer vacation is fine. The grasslands are fun in the summer. You should all come then, and I'll treat you to a whole roasted cow!"
At the entrance of Ocean University, Bai Yu and her three friends were saying their goodbyes. Li Shuang and Lu Sheng were going to the airport to catch a plane, while Bai Yu and Wang Hai were going to the subway station to catch a high-speed train.
"Roasted whole cow? Is it delicious?"
"Never mind whether it tastes good or not, we can't eat it now anyway. I'll take you there when we have time. Shuangzi, Asheng, you two should hurry up and go, or it'll be funny if you're late and can't catch your flight."
If you're planning to come during winter break, just give me a call in advance. My hometown, Sanya, is a great place to spend the winter.
After Bai Yu finished speaking, she watched Li Shuang, Lu Sheng, and Xia Jing board the bus to the airport.
He then boarded a bus with Wang Hai and Li Xue to go to the subway station to catch their train.
University students have a very long winter break. Bai Yu's college had a 37-day break, while Li Xue's college had an even longer break of 42 days.
On the train to Sanya, Bai Yu inquired about Li Xue's winter vacation plans.
"Xue'er, we're on holiday now. What are your plans for winter break? Are you going to travel or stay at home?"
"Brother Xiaobai, I plan to stay at home with my parents for a few days first, and then I'll go to Northeast China to see Jingjing. She said she'd take me to the Ice and Snow World, and that all the buildings there are made of ice, and they're so beautiful."
Oh, and Jingjing also said that Northeastern Chinese food is really delicious, with big portions and cheap prices, especially the barbecue, which is super cheap.
Hey Bai, why don't you and Hai come with me sometime? Let's go to the Ice and Snow World for a few days, have a snowball fight, that would be great! I've never played in the snow before.
When it came to her winter vacation plans, Li Xue got really excited. She even took out her phone and showed Bai Yu and the other person the pictures Xia Jing had sent her.
Just as Li Xue said, none of them had ever seen snow since they were children. After all, it never snowed in Hai Province, so where would they go to see snow?
They had seen hail a few times, but it was the kind that melted as soon as it fell; it couldn't hold ice at all outdoors in Hainan Province.
"Barbecue? And it's really cheap? Is it the kind where you can eat your fill? Brother Yu, how about we go to Northeast China for a trip sometime?"
If you're talking about fun things, Bai Yu and Wang Hai might not care much, but if you're talking about delicious food, Wang Hai is definitely the quickest to react. He looks at Bai Yu with hopeful eyes, trying to get an answer from her.
"Ice and Snow World? I think that's in Heilongjiang Province, which is in the south and north of us, it's a bit too far!"
"It's not up to me to decide. Maybe I should ask my family when I get home and see if they'll let us go."
When Li Xue asked Bai Yu if he wanted to go to the Ice and Snow World, Bai Yu searched for information about it on his phone. He then saw the distance from Sanya to Harbin, which was over two thousand kilometers as the crow flies.
If he were to travel by public transport, the distance would be three or four thousand kilometers, which was beyond his imagination.
Therefore, this is not something he can decide on his own. At the very least, he needs to go home and ask his family for their opinions.
"Brother Xiaobai, as long as you want to go, leave the godparents to me. We can also bring Yueyue along. She'll be on winter break soon, so taking her out to play will help her relax."
Seeing that Bai Yu also had the idea of going to Northeast China for a trip, Li Xue immediately said that she would talk to Bai's parents and that she could definitely get it done.
Moreover, she hadn't forgotten Bai Yue. Li Xue and Bai Yue had grown up together since childhood, and she always called her "Sister Xue'er." She was determined to bring Bai Yue along on this trip.
"That's great. If you can convince my parents, then I'll go and convince Ah Hai's parents, and then the rest of us can go together."
Since we have some free time now, let's research the Harbin Ice and Snow World travel guide and see what fun things to do and good food to eat in Harbin.
During the hour-long journey back to Sanya, they made countless travel plans.
From accommodation to what to do and eat each day, everything is planned in detail, and there are not just one, but several alternative plans.
When the three of them returned to Sanya, they parted ways in the county town. Li Xue went back to her own home, while Bai Yu and Wang Hai returned to their small fishing village.
