When the car arrived at Wusong Wharf and Yun Qiao got off, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to answer He Yi's questions.
The boat tickets were bought in advance, so Yun Qiao and the others could board the boat directly after arriving at the dock.
As the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor and into the sea, the two children, He Yi and He Yan, ran around excitedly on the deck, pointing outside and excitedly saying to Yun Qiao, "Mom, look! The sea!"
Yun Qiao looked at the children's happy faces and smiled: "I see."
The boat from Shanghai to Zhoushan takes nine hours.
Yun Qiao and her friends boarded the ship at nine o'clock in the afternoon and arrived in Zhoushan at seven o'clock in the evening.
At 10 o'clock in the summer evening, the sun has not yet completely set. The crimson sunset dyes the clouds a light pink and also coats the sea with a layer of rosy glow. The scenery seen with the naked eye is beautiful.
While the boat was docking, Yun Qiao took out his camera, took a picture of the sunset, and also took a picture of Li Baiqiu and the others as a souvenir.
The ship finally docked, and the people sent by Zhang Yukui had been waiting at the dock for a long time.
The handsome young man held up a cardboard with the words "Li Bai Qiu Qin Yun Qiao" written on it in his hands and greeted them warmly with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Aunt Li." He greeted Li Baiqiu politely, then turned around and called Yun Qiao, "Sister."
Li Baiqiu smiled and said, "You must be Mingze."
Zhang Mingze nodded: "It's me, I'm Mingze."
Li Baiqiu patted his shoulder with a look of satisfaction and said with a smile, "It's been more than ten years since we last met. You've grown up. I remember you seem to be a year older than Kang Ning. Are you nineteen this year?"
Zhang Mingze nodded: "You remember correctly, I am indeed nineteen years old this year."
Li Baiqiu asked, "Are you still studying?"
Zhang Mingze hummed, "I just graduated from high school this year and will be going to Shanghai to attend university."
"You're really impressive, you got into university on your first try." Li Baiqiu asked, "Which university did you get into?"
Zhang Mingze replied, "It's the school my father and Uncle Ye attended, Shanghai University."
"The admission score for Shanghai University is not low. You are quite amazing." Li Baiqiu praised.
Zhang Mingze scratched his head shyly and said, "It's okay."
At this time, Ye Kangning suddenly said: "My mother didn't say anything false, you are indeed very powerful."
Zhang Mingze was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Ye Kangning said frankly, "Because I also took the college entrance examination this year, the questions were very difficult, and I didn't pass. The fact that you passed is a test of your ability."
Zhang Mingze: "Then...thank you for the compliment."
"You're welcome." Ye Kangning said.
"Kangning's a bit blunt, Mingze, don't mind." Li Baiqiu smiled and smoothed things over. He said to Ye Kangning, "Kangning, you and Mingze both took the college entrance exam this year. You'll be in Zhoushan during this time. You can ask Mingze for advice when you're not busy. He was able to get into Hucheng University on the first try, so he must have some study methods worth learning from."
After that, he asked Zhang Mingze, "Mingze, my sister is planning to repeat her senior year and take the college entrance exam next year. She has some questions about her studies. Could you please help her solve them?"
Zhang Mingze didn't hesitate and nodded quickly: "Of course."
"That's great." Li Baiqiu pushed Ye Kangning's arm and said, "Hurry up and thank Brother Mingze."
"Thank you, Brother Mingze..." Brother.
I can’t say much about the brother behind me, Ye Kangning.
Zhang Mingze didn't mind and said with a smile, "It's okay. You can always ask me if you have any questions."
"good."
After leaving the dock, Zhang Mingze led everyone to a tricycle and said to Li Baiqiu and the others, "Get on board. The guesthouse my dad arranged is a bit far from the dock, and we can't find another car right now, so we can only borrow the big tricycle that the factory uses to transport goods. It's a little dirty, I hope you don't mind, aunties."
"What's the big deal? Having a car is good enough. It's better than walking everywhere." Li Baiqiu laughed. "The first time I came to Zhoushan with your Uncle Ye, there were no cars. We had to walk everywhere. Thinking about it now, I was so tired."
Everyone smiled at each other when they heard this. Yun Qiao said, "Life was not so good back then. Even bicycles were rare."
"That's right." Li Baiqiu echoed and praised Mingze: "Mingze, you are a really good child. You study well and can go to university. You can also drive a car. It's really amazing."
Zhang Mingze felt embarrassed by Li Baiqiu's praise. He blushed and said shyly, "It's not difficult to learn how to ride a tricycle. Anyone can learn it as long as they have the opportunity to learn."
The main thing is to have the opportunity to learn.
Li Baiqiu and Yun Qiao both understood what Zhang Mingze meant.
It may not be difficult to learn to ride a tricycle, but these days, not everyone has the opportunity to drive a car, so this is already a threshold that separates ordinary people.
The inside of the tricycle was covered with a layer of clean sacks, so the luggage could be placed on it without getting it dirty.
Zhang Mingze helped Yun Qiao and the others put their luggage into the bucket of the tricycle, and then helped a few children onto the vehicle. After making sure that everyone was seated firmly and securely supported, he started the vehicle.
The engine of the tricycle is very loud and makes a lot of noise. It makes a "bang bang bang" sound like a tractor when it is running. The exhaust emits a string of black smoke, which smells very pungent.
The experience for passengers on tricycles is quite poor. The ride is so bouncing around that it feels like your butt is about to break in two. But again, these days, just having a car is good enough. Don't be so picky about other things.
Yun Qiao smelled the exhaust fumes from the bed of the tricycle for more than twenty minutes before finally arriving at his destination, the Red Star Guesthouse, before nightfall.
"Auntie, we are done."
The car stopped, Zhang Mingze jumped out, opened the rear cargo bed, first carried the two children, He Yan and He Yi, out of the car, and then reached out to support Li Baiqiu.
The road on the island was uneven. Li Baiqiu felt like his internal organs were about to be shaken out while sitting in the car. When he finally got out of the car and stepped on the ground, he felt dizzy and his head was heavy.
Zhang Mingze saw that Li Baiqiu looked unhappy and asked worriedly, "Aunt Li, are you okay?"
