Old Meng paused for a moment, then continued, "Be careful when you set sail."
The ocean is too vast.
Fishing boats that are too small have a poor ability to withstand risks; a sudden storm could lead to serious danger.
Mei Yueqin also had some concerns: "You've never been to sea before, is it really feasible to just buy a fishing boat and go out to sea?"
Wu An poked at the meat inside the crab leg and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning."
"I don't think it's a big deal. As long as you go out to sea on a sunny day, there shouldn't be any problems."
“At first, Aqing and I could run near the shore, but not far away.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Wu An used to talk a lot of grand theories, which sounded unrealistic to people.
But after hearing him say that today, no one thought it was unreliable.
After so many days, everyone has come to believe that he is capable of getting things done.
Aqing took a sip of beer, swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth, and said, "I don't think it's difficult at all."
"Once we get there, we'll grab our gear and start catching seafood."
"My brother also said that in the future, when we use fish traps and longline fishing, we won't have to lift a finger. We'll just throw the fish in and collect it when it's time."
"Isn't that easier than harvesting seafood on the beach?"
Everyone laughed: "It's not as simple as you make it out to be."
"If it were as simple as you say, then everyone in our village would be going out to sea to fish and make money."
"First, we have to determine which sea area has seafood. Small fishing boats don't have fish finders, so we have to rely on experience and luck."
“Many fishermen in our village go out on a trip, but they end up with nothing and waste their money on fuel.”
"Marine resources are not as abundant as they used to be."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Aqing said, "Maybe it's because my brother is taking care of me, so I don't find it difficult at all."
"It's just quite tiring."
"But as long as there's money to be made, it doesn't matter how tiring it is."
Wu An didn't say anything; A Qing had already finished speaking.
Old Meng is right. The current marine resources are not good, but compared to the future, many seafood products do not yet come with the "life in jail and sewing machine underfoot" package.
For example, spiny lobsters and horseshoe crabs can still be caught freely, provided you have enough luck. The vast ocean still holds great potential.
"Stop talking, eat your food, eat your food." He picked up a piece of cold potato salad, stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "It's so refreshing, really delicious."
I've been eating too much meat and fish these past few days, so these shredded potatoes are sour and crunchy. If I had some pancakes, they would be great to roll up and eat.
A smile flashed across Wu Yingwei's face.
Old Meng said with a smile, "Eat more if you like it. Your dad made it."
Wu An nodded, picked up two more pieces of food, and asked vaguely, "Dad, why are you back so early today?"
Wu Yingwei glanced at him: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."
"I turned back halfway."
“If you hadn’t gone to the mudflats, I would have at least taken a walk around.”
Wu An suddenly realized: "I'm drunk, I'm drunk."
He was initially quite puzzled as to why he was the only one venturing deeper into the area today.
Hearing his father say this, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared. In his previous life, his father went to the mudflats and probably tried to persuade everyone to leave, which led many people to venture deeper into the mudflats in order to force him to leave.
Then, by chance, I discovered the butter crab.
Now, because of him, his father didn't go to the mudflats, so everyone was out fishing upstream, which is why he got such a good deal.
That makes sense when you think about it.
He is different from his previous life, so naturally he will change some things. In the future, he will also get involved in many industries in the village and take a share of the pie from others.
Li Juan, who hadn't said much until now, asked curiously, "A'an, you want to buy a fishing boat, do you have the necessary permits?"
Wu An was taken aback.
They were immediately speechless with embarrassment.
He was so focused on buying a fishing boat to make money at sea that he completely forgot about this.
Wu An looked at A Qing.
Aqing shook her head: "Brother, I didn't. I heard that you have to take a test for that. You know I'm most afraid of tests."
Sailing at sea is more complicated than driving a car. In addition to a boat certificate, you also need a fishery license and a fishing permit.
Fortunately, it is 2012 now, and compared to the future, there are still gray areas in the current stage of operation.
As far as he knew, some people in the village got their driver's licenses without even going through the training.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to town tomorrow and ask."
"Anyway, there are no boats available now."
"There's still time to prepare for everything else."
He really couldn't say too much in front of his father, otherwise he would definitely be scolded by his father.
No one said anything more.
After a few rounds of drinks, we were really happy today. The atmosphere at the table was very lively. Even Mei Yueqin and Li Juan drank a bottle of wine, but they weren't drunk. They both knew their limits.
Wu An had drunk a bit too much.
Having been reborn, he finally had some money in his hands. Money gives a man courage, so he let loose a bit and drank a little too much.
I wanted to use the alcohol to have a good talk with my father and mend our already broken relationship, but instead, my father drank too much.
He already has a lisp.
She was holding him, muttering something under her breath. He leaned in to listen, but couldn't make out a single word. When he touched her hand, good heavens, it was covered in drool.
Even his own father disgusted him.
Old Meng was the first to get up and leave.
He wasn't drunk. After all, it's very dangerous for someone to be home alone, drunk and unattended. Li Juan and A Qing also got up to say goodbye.
After seeing the person off to the door and returning to the main room, the old man was already restless.
I quickly helped my father up and put him on the bed. I took off his shoes and used warm water to wipe his face, hands, and the rest of his body that I could reach. I didn't take off his clothes yet, because I wasn't "filial" enough, and I was afraid that it would be embarrassing for my father when he woke up.
I tidied up a bit and poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table.
Main room.
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin tidied up and chatted quietly.
"The second son can take care of people now."
"Yes, they seem even more meticulous than I am."
“He’s not just meticulous, he’s sensible and genuinely filial to his father, which is why he’s willing to do these things.”
"That saves us some trouble."
“He’s not just a worry-free person, he’s become the pillar of our family. Look at how busy he is all day, not to mention the money he makes, we have more than 20,000 yuan in our hands.”
Mei Yueqin touched her bulging pockets; she had just sat down to eat and hadn't had time to put the money away yet.
It feels a little unreal to the touch.
It feels like a dream.
Wu Ping paused, then lowered his voice again: "When we go to the hospital for a checkup, if there's anything wrong, we'll have the money to treat it..."
Mei Yueqin quickly said, "Pah, pah, pah, don't jinx it. It's best if nothing's wrong... Maybe we were just in the wrong position?"
"Well……"
Wu Ping scratched his head. Surely not all of those positions are wrong?
The couple were whispering privately when Wu An came out, picked up the water on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm leaving."
"I just picked up the trash with the tablecloth and threw it away on my way."
As he spoke, he rolled up the trash wrapped in the plastic tablecloth, picked it up, and walked out.
The older brother and sister-in-law saw them to the door and said, "Take care on the way."
"This tablecloth isn't very good quality. Be careful, or it might break on the way."
Wu An nodded, carrying the trash in one hand and the strange beast carrying the satchel, and used their headlamps to light the way toward the old house. Halfway there, they encountered several people.
