The weather was bad, so the fishing boats were all moored at the village dock. The fishermen in the nearby villages mostly used small fishing boats, about the same size as Wu An's previous fishing boats. There weren't many 25-meter trawlers.
A brand-new, dark brown trawler appeared on the horizon, drawing everyone's attention.
Mei Yueqin and Li Juan stood together, chatting happily as they saw the fishing boat approaching.
The fishing boats docked.
Against the backdrop of the small fishing boats beside it, the 25-meter-long medium-sized trawler appears exceptionally tall, with its white upper cockpit standing out prominently. The rigging and masts used to assist fishing operations are located on both sides of the hull, and various antennas and equipment are mounted on the top of the cockpit.
On the dock, everyone pointed and commented on the fishing boats, and the fishermen all looked on with envy.
Who wouldn't want a boat like this when they go out to sea to fish?
The fishing boats were moored securely.
Wu An stepped out of the cockpit and saw his brother and sister-in-law waving at him, so he quickly responded.
at the same time.
The sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, lasting for a long time.
Amidst the smoke and fire, the atmosphere was incredibly lively.
Wu An was about to disembark when his brother, sister-in-law, and other villagers boarded the boat first.
Actually, trawlers are not uncommon.
Everyone has seen it.
However, it's similar to decorating a new house; when relatives and friends come, they will all take a look at the new house's decoration.
This new ship, of course, deserves a tour.
This will be a useful reference point if we buy a trawler for our own use in the future.
Wu An handed out gift bags to everyone and accepted their congratulations.
Old Xie came up to the deck, touched the gunwale, and exclaimed, "Wow, this is a new ship. It's very stable at sea. It must be catching fish by the ton. It'll be making money like a rocket."
Wu An offered him a cigarette and said, "Let's get rich together, let's get rich together."
Old Xie accepted it with a smile.
He knew that with this trawler, Wu An's catch would be plentiful, more than he could possibly handle. But he still had to maintain the relationship, because who knew when Wu An might suddenly decide to return to the village dock and he could make a fortune.
"Ah An, the new ship is returning home, may it bring you great fortune."
"Wishing you great fortune."
"Ah An, are you short of people on the ship? Take us with you and we'll make a fortune!"
Many people gathered around, chattering away. Wu An remained calm and composed, greeting everyone with a smile and responding to each one without missing a beat. Wu Ping, the eldest brother, wanted to help but felt a chill run down his spine just watching.
He really doesn't know how to handle this situation.
Seeing Wu An handle the situation with ease, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The new ship smells a bit strong."
"Yes, after all, it was just taken offline."
"Wow, you have quite a lot of equipment in your cockpit. What's this? And what about this one?"
When this came up, Old Fu stepped forward and explained that some of the equipment was not installed by Wu, but was required to be installed by the state, such as Beidou navigation and positioning equipment, as well as radio communication equipment, etc.
In particular, the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System was only launched this year.
This is a global satellite navigation system independently developed by the country. From now on, the country will no longer be subject to others in this regard, and there will be no more incidents of losing direction at sea!
"Wow, this lounge is quite luxurious."
"This is almost like being at home."
"It's even better than my house renovation."
"Tsk tsk, this will definitely cost a lot of extra money."
Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement when they saw the lounge. Even if there was a lounge on an ordinary fishing boat, it would be a shoddy job, unlike Wu An's, which was decorated almost like a yacht.
Wu An did not offer any explanation for this.
Liu Bei is right. After fighting a lifetime of wars, can't we enjoy ourselves a little?
Several days of fishing at sea are already hard enough, and he must not be mistreated during his rest time. If conditions allowed, he would like to try playing music and dancing again.
...
Village Committee.
Watching Leader Qi get into the car and drive away, Wu Yingwei, who had been keeping a straight face, smiled and said, "Okay, it's good that you came out to work early today, so we can finish things sooner."
"If you're free at noon, please do me the honor of coming over for a drink."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Of course, I'll definitely go."
"Even if I have something else to do, I have to cancel it. This is a wedding banquet, and I should drink more to share in the joy."
"Go, everyone go."
Everyone was smiling and offering their congratulations when Shen Nan suddenly said, "Uncle Yingwei, it's a good thing that Wu An's new ship has arrived home. I'd like to share in your family's joy."
"However, I'm really sorry, I can't go. The leadership attaches so much importance to the sea area contracting, I need to prepare properly."
“If the project is done well, not only me, but everyone in our village will benefit.”
"Unlike Wu An, who bought a boat and went to sea, he benefited himself."
"I wish Ah An all the best and that he will make a lot of money in the future."
After saying that, he smiled and walked towards the Audi parked to the side.
Get on the bus.
He stepped on the gas and sped off.
Wu Yingwei shook his head, not paying any attention, greeted everyone, and left.
After Wu Yingwei left, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What's wrong with Shen Nan?"
"Not giving face at a time like this?"
"I've never heard of him and Ah An not getting along."
"Isn't this normal? Among the young people in our village, who's capable right now? It's Shen Nan and Wu An. They're like oil and water, how can they possibly stand each other?"
"I don't think Shen Nan is any good. Ah An would never be so incompetent."
That's true.
"To be honest, Ah An is really different from before. Is his transformation into a prodigal son really that strong?"
...
When Wu Yingwei returned, everyone gathered around to congratulate him, saying that Ah An was capable and that he, as the father, no longer had to worry.
Hearing these words, Wu Yingwei couldn't stop smiling, and his worries naturally disappeared.
When do parents graduate?
It's simply about helping my son get married and start a career.
Now that Wu An has bought a boat and a multi-million dollar villa is under construction, there's really nothing for Wu Yingwei to worry about; Wu An has already taken care of everything himself.
His fatherly role was the envy of several of his older colleagues who hadn't yet "graduated."
Not long after.
When the time comes.
The banquet begins.
The guests took their seats.
As they ate and drank, everyone chatted even more enthusiastically.
Sister Duan had a very loud voice, and she shouted, "Overpowering everyone!"
"I knew Ah An was going to amount to something."
"Hey, when Ah An was stealing chickens and doing other petty things, you were the one who scolded him the most."
"What do you know? I scolded him for his own good. This is a necessary trial on the road to success. Look at those capable big bosses, none of them had a smooth journey. Don't you all agree?"
"Okay, okay, you're right."
"There aren't many people in the Wu family, but they are all capable. Wu Yingwei is the village head, and I heard that Wu Yingjin is the deputy. The old village head personally recommended him, saying that no one should avoid recommending relatives."
"Old Wu's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke."
"Who can argue with that?"
