"Hey, why are you two looking at me like that? Just say what you want to say, stop staring at me like that!"
Bai Yu felt goosebumps all over his body from being stared at by Bai Yue and Li Xue, so he immediately pulled his hands away and sat down to the side.
"Brother Xiaobai, are you planning to go fishing at sea in a couple of days? Or are you renting a boat? Could you take us with you this time? We want to go fishing too!"
"Bring the two of you along? Let's not even talk about whether I agree or not. Even if I did agree, do you think Mom and Dad would agree?"
Don't think too much about it. When I catch a big fish on this trip, I'll come back and treat you to something delicious, and buy you gifts!
"Brother, what you're saying means that as long as Mom and Dad agree, you'll take the two of us out to sea for fishing?"
"Huh? When did I say that? I said Mom and Dad wouldn't agree. Yueyue, don't take things out of context and only listen to half of what I say."
"I don't care, anyway, you said you'd take us with you as long as Mom and Dad agree."
"Sister Xue'er, let's go find Mom and Dad! If we can't handle my brother, surely we can handle Mom and Dad! Brother, just wait and see, we'll take you fishing at sea, hahahahaha!"
After Bai Yue finished speaking, she grabbed Li Xue and ran away, turning back to smile at Bai Yu as she ran, as if her scheme had succeeded.
Bai Yu was left alone in the living room, staring blankly at the backs of Bai Yue and the other person.
What did he promise? Why is he going out fishing at sea with Bai Yue and Li Xue? He didn't say anything like that!
As for persuading Bai's parents to agree, Bai Yu had no doubt about Bai Yue's abilities. This little girl was incredibly clever; winning over her parents would be a piece of cake for her.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Bai's mother walked over with a fierce expression.
"Xiaoyu, your sister just said you're going fishing at sea in a couple of days? And you're taking them both with you? Is that true?"
"Huh? Is that true or not?"
Bai Yu looked at his mother's fierce face, and then at Bai Yue and Li Xue, who were following behind her and looked pitiful. For a moment, he didn't know whether to answer yes or no.
"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush. If you want to take the two of them with you when you go out to sea, that's fine, but it's definitely not possible for just a bunch of kids like you to go out to sea."
Okay, your dad knows about this. He's calling your second uncle right now. Your second uncle is going on this sea voyage too. I'll ask your younger uncle later if he's available. Having an adult with him will put your dad and me at ease."
Seeing that Bai Yu was stammering, Bai's mother waved her hand to stop Bai Yu from saying anything more, and then began to talk about her own arrangements.
? ? ?
What the heck? Why are my second uncle and younger uncle being added to the list again? It seems like more and more people are going out to sea. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Bai's father, second uncle, and younger uncle arrived and sat in the living room looking at Bai Yu across from them.
Being stared at by these elders made Bai Yu feel extremely uneasy and uneasy.
"Um, Dad, Second Uncle, Little Uncle, if you're busy or don't have time, it's okay if you don't go. Tianyu, Ah Hai, and I will go."
Unable to bear being stared at any longer, Bai Yu could only offer what he considered a reasonable suggestion.
"Brother, we're still here!"
"Shut up, can't you see Mom and the others are worried? Second Uncle and Little Uncle have things to do later, so we won't take you this time. We'll take you next time when we have more time. Let's just skip it for now."
"Wait, who said we didn't have time? Can't you see we've already made it? I just have one question: what size boat did you rent for this trip? How many days are you planning to go? Where are you going to fish? What's your destination?"
Just as Bai Yu finished making arrangements for Bai Yue, her second uncle started to disagree again, immediately saying that he and her younger brother-in-law both had time and they wanted to go fishing this time.
After some discussion, the team for this sea voyage was finalized, consisting of seven people: Bai Yu, Wang Hai, Liu Tianyu, Second Uncle, Little Uncle, Bai Yue, and Li Xue.
If it weren't for the fact that Bai's father had to go to work later, he would have liked to go fishing with him this time.
The sea trip lasts five days, and the fishing area is about 100 nautical miles away from Sanya. It is said that there are several fishing grounds there where you can fish.
After Bai Yu told Liu Tianyu about the current situation, the latter renegotiated the price with the boat company. If he rented for five days, the other party would give him a discount of 2,000 yuan, while the rest remained the same as before.
Furthermore, the ship's crew didn't have any feudal superstitions and didn't have much of a taboo about whether there were women on board.
Bai Yu then instructed Liu Tianyu to tell the other party that they had rented the boat from the eighth day of the lunar new year until the morning of the thirteenth day, after which they would hand the boat over to the other party.
Aside from the 8,000 yuan for renting the boat, Bai Yu transferred a total of 10,000 yuan to the other party, with the remaining 2,000 yuan being a deposit. Bai Yu had no objection to this, as it was normal to have a deposit.
Now that the sea voyage has been finalized, Bai Yu and the others need to make some preparations for fishing.
The first step is to replenish fishing equipment, such as fishing rods, fishing lines, and fishing hooks.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai didn't need to buy anything, but Bai Yue and Li Xue did. They bought a complete set of everything, from fishing rods and lines to hooks, floats, and even lures.
Why would two people only buy one set?
That's because Dad Bai has a fishing rod set, and one of them can use Dad Bai's fishing rod first. This time, they are just going to learn and accumulate fishing experience, so they don't need to be too good in terms of equipment.
Once everything was ready, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day they were to go out to sea to fish.
When it comes to deep-sea fishing, whether you're a beginner or an expert, the key is to go sooner rather than later.
At six o'clock on the morning of the eighth day, Bai Yu and the others arrived at the town's dock and had breakfast at a breakfast shop.
"Haha! Second Uncle, we're just going fishing, is it really necessary to get up so early? We were woken up before dawn, and look there aren't many people on the dock."
Bai Yue asked, yawning and puzzled.
"You're just a little girl, you wouldn't understand. You see there aren't many people at the dock right now, but that's because they've all already set off. We're already considered late."
You've probably heard the saying, "The early bird catches the worm," right? Morning is the best time for fishing.
"You all need to eat quickly, we'll be heading out sooner if we do, the sooner we can catch fish!"
"That's right, you guys are all still young and don't understand how hard it is to be a fisherman. If you don't believe me, ask your brother Tianyu. Isn't he a crew member now? When he goes out to sea to work, doesn't he always make sure to go early rather than late?"
When it comes to going to sea, the elders and the most experienced uncles and maternal uncles have a lot to say.
They immediately started explaining things to Bai Yu and the others, and the entire breakfast time was spent listening to their explanations.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Yu and the others boarded the fishing boat one after another.
They came to this fishing boat last night, and they had already replenished all the supplies and fuel for the trip, and assigned rooms. They're just waiting to board and set off today.
Liu Tianyu was still the one steering the boat. There were seven people going out to sea this time, but only two of them knew how to steer the boat: Liu Tianyu and his second uncle.
My second uncle knows how to drive a boat because of his current job as a mechanic. Besides repairing vehicles, he also helps fix any boats in the village that have problems, and that's how he naturally learned to drive a boat.
However, my second uncle had never driven such a fishing boat before, and he had only ever driven boats near the fishing village pier before, never venturing too far.
So Liu Tianyu is currently piloting the boat, while his second uncle is learning in the wheelhouse. He wants to see if he can use this trip to sea to practice his boat piloting skills.
According to Liu Tianyu's arrangement, their first stop at sea this time was near an oil well about sixty nautical miles from the town's dock, which was a rare fishing spot.
It is said that many anglers catch big fish here every year, such as tuna and marlin. It is not impossible to catch them here.
