It's still early, not even nine o'clock yet.
However, many boats were already moored at the dock, especially small wooden boats.
On the sea, some near and some far, there were still many trawlers drifting, all heading towards the dock.
Clearly, it was this rain that forced the ships to return home early.
However, the Rising Sun was not seen among them.
The squid's feeding season should be over, and it's very likely that the squid has been rented out.
Feng Ye hadn't thought of that for a moment and forgot to ask.
The Dong Sheng slowly descended and did not continue towards the dock. Instead, it stopped in the deep water and anchored next to the Feng Shou.
Although the Dong Sheng is smaller than the Feng Shou, it has a deeper draft.
Unless it is high tide, the water level at the pier is not high enough to support its docking.
It can only anchor and remain in the middle of the sea, like the Harvest.
Both people and goods had to be transferred to other ships.
At this moment, the rain was still falling, the sky was still gloomy, the dark clouds hung low, and heavy rain could fall at any time.
Feng Ye stood at the bow of the boat, his gaze piercing through the rain as he looked toward the beach next to the dock.
There, he found his familiar house and the family he longed for day and night.
He longed to go back right now, to hug his child, and to kiss his wife.
Unfortunately, we were still in the middle of the sea and had to wait a while.
The Dong Sheng didn't have lifeboats on board; we had to wait for another ship to come and transfer us.
However, the waves were quite large, and basically no small wooden boats dared to come out to make money.
He could only pin his hopes on the fishing boats that had docked at the shore, where he might have some acquaintances among the crew.
Feng Ye turned his gaze away from the dock and looked around.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed spotted a familiar ship—it was their Rising Sun.
Moreover, the people on the Rising Sun seemed to have spotted them and were moving closer to the Rising Sun.
However, it's unclear who is steering the boat at this moment.
He wanted to ask, but Feng Xuan, the only one who might know the situation, was still in the driver's seat, doing who-knows-what.
There was nothing he could do but wait patiently.
Soon after, the Rising Sun came close.
Feng Ye looked closely and saw a man standing at the door of the wheelhouse. It was Xiao Yunhu, while the one steering the boat inside was his father, his second uncle.
He waved happily and called out, "Second Uncle, Cousin."
Xiao Yunhu smiled and said, "I saw a big ship in the distance and wondered whose ship it was. Turns out it's you guys coming back."
"Cousin, did you rent this boat?"
"Well, I originally wanted to buy it directly, but your dad disagreed, saying that it could only be rented."
"This ship will be very useful next year, it feels like a huge loss to sell it."
"Haha, I know, we'll keep them to catch small yellow croakers..."
After chatting for a few minutes, Feng Ye said, "Second Uncle, Cousin, you've come at the perfect time. I was just wondering how to get ashore when you arrived. I'd appreciate it if you could take us there."
Xiao Yunhu immediately patted his chest and said, "What trouble is there? It's just a small favor."
The Rising Sun slowly came to a stop next to the Rising Sun.
Immediately, Feng Ye shouted towards the ship's deck and jumped onto the Rising Sun first.
Everyone carried their luggage on their shoulders and transferred from the Dong Sheng to the Xu Ri.
After everyone disembarked, the Rising Sun slowly started moving again and headed towards the dock.
As Xiao Yunhu watched the Dong Sheng ship gradually disappear into the distance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
My cousin, who used to be a lazy bum, has become rich in just one year, owning one boat after another.
From the initial small wooden boat, to the Rising Sun, and now to the 30-meter-long Dong Sheng.
It's true what they say, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence."
He looked away and asked curiously, "Ah Ye, how was your trip? With your luck, it must have been great, right?"
"It's alright, not a wasted trip."
Feng Ye smiled and gave a perfunctory reply, without saying anything more.
Xiao Yunhu smiled and didn't press the matter further, instead asking if there was anything particularly noteworthy he had seen or heard.
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can became excited and eagerly said, "Yes, yes, yes, we ran into them on our first day out..."
Whether it was the orca playing with the manta ray on the first day, or the humpback whale on the return trip, especially the battle between the humpback whale and the orca, these are all topics worth talking about at length.
It wasn't just Ah-chan talking; other people would occasionally add a sentence or two.
As Ah-Can and the others talked, they became more and more excited, making all sorts of exaggerated gestures and expressions, vividly portraying those wonderful moments.
Xiao Yunhu and his son listened with great interest, their expressions changing constantly as A-Can and the others recounted the story.
Whether it's amazement, doubt, or disbelief...
They both regretted not going out with them to see the world and missing out on such a wonderful trip.
Although Feng Xuan had listened to it briefly once, she still found it very interesting when she listened to it again.
After Ah-Can and the others had almost finished recounting what had happened along the way, the Rising Sun was about to dock.
At the dock, many people were waiting for their boats to return, some holding umbrellas, others wearing raincoats or straw raincoats.
Because of this sudden downpour, everyone was a little worried about their boats at sea.
I'm always worried if I don't come out and wait at the dock.
Every change in weather is a major event that affects the hearts of fishermen who make their living from the sea.
Of course, since they didn't know when the Dong Sheng would return, Feng Ye and his family were not among the waiting crowd.
