Aqing scratched her head, not quite understanding.
But Gu Anran understood.
This indicates that something has been installed.
But she was very happy.
Whether Wu An's words are true or false, they make me feel really comfortable.
snort!
He's such a good liar!
"Stop bragging." Gu Anran grabbed Wu An's hand and walked across the street. "Let's go. If we block their shop entrance, the owner will come and kick us out."
Wu An smiled.
Holding hands, I felt that even milk tea couldn't taste as sweet as his heart.
Aqing didn't move.
He finished the milk tea in one go, opened the lid, poured all the little fruit inside into his mouth, and then threw it into the dirty water bucket that was being used as a trash can by the roadside.
As soon as Wu An started the car, he leaped and landed safely inside.
He even struck a pose at the end.
Wu An didn't dare start the car. He shouted for Ah Qing to sit still and waited for her to squat down before starting the car.
Gu Anran also arrived by bicycle.
Luckily she rode a bike, otherwise she might not have been able to fit all the things she bought inside.
We went to the pier first.
After loading all the food and drinks onto the boat and covering them with plastic sheeting, Wu An was still a little worried and planned to install a camera.
It's just in case.
If anyone tries to cause trouble again, we can catch them in the act.
Do it as soon as you think of it.
There are computer repair shops in town that sell webcams with built-in batteries and portable hard drives for storage. When I asked about the price, they quoted me 2888.
"This camera is windproof and rainproof. It's an infrared camera, so you can see clearly even at night. The battery can last for half a month, and the external hard drive can also store it for half a month. Since you're going to use it on a ship, if you can always have a signal, I recommend you use cloud storage."
The boss is a young man, but he speaks quite honestly and said that if I need to see the surveillance footage, I can contact him 24 hours a day.
Wu An gritted his teeth and bought it.
no way.
It wasn't that he was being overly cautious; it was simply that there had been previous examples. Last time it was Lin Hu, and what if next time it was Wang Hu? He had to be on guard.
The shop owner immediately closed the shop, took his equipment, and went to the boat with him. They installed the cameras, adjusted them with a computer, and fixed the angles. It didn't take too long.
Looking at the very conspicuous camera, Aqing asked, "Brother, isn't this expensive camera a bit too conspicuous?"
Wu An nodded.
He did it on purpose; it had a deterrent effect.
Aqing said with some worry, "What if it gets stolen?"
"..." Wu An was stunned, thinking, "No way, would a thief steal the camera?"
But the security situation is indeed not very good right now.
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it like this for now. We'll find Boss Li to weld an iron box on the ship another day and put the portable hard drive inside."
Gu Anran laughed and said, "You've really gone to great lengths."
"With great power comes great responsibility," Aqing said proudly. "In our village, among people my age, only I have bought a fishing boat."
"I've saved up about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan while I've been with my brother."
"My mom is so happy."
"I heard that matchmakers have already come to my door, hehehe."
After saying that, he chuckled to himself.
Gu Anran nodded slightly. Let alone in one village, even in the surrounding villages, Wu An was probably the only one who could afford to buy a fishing boat on his own.
When Wu An returns in his fishing boat, he will surely become famous.
It's not that I'm deliberately showing off, it's just that I simply can't keep a low profile.
After finishing their work, it was a little past four in the afternoon. Wu An was still on the boat, as he needed to take it to the village dock later.
Watching Wu An and Gu Anran leave, he immediately started the fishing boat.
Although it wasn't my first time operating a fishing boat, I still couldn't help feeling a bit nervous after starting the engine.
I felt both nervous and excited.
He smoothly steered the boat toward the village dock, and looking at the endless sea, Wu An's heart was filled with excitement.
He wasn't driving fast; he was mainly getting used to it. Once he reached a more open area, he would veer left and right, having some fun.
I didn't feel seasick at all.
He also found it quite amazing. Could it be that driving a boat is like driving a car, and as long as you drive yourself, you won't get seasick or carsick?
We returned to the village dock.
Ah Qing was already at the dock when she saw Wu An approaching in his fishing boat, and she jumped for joy.
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin were also there, and they waved their arms enthusiastically to greet everyone.
Wu An parked the car, and Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin boarded the boat, looking at this and touching that.
Fishing boats.
Although most of the villagers make their living from the sea, not every household owns a fishing boat.
Wu An bought the fishing boat all by himself, and the two of them were genuinely happy and proud of it.
"Not bad, not bad, the fishing boat is quite big."
"It looks pretty new."
“I think most of the fishing boats in the village are not as good as yours, A’an.”
"The fact that we bought such a big fishing boat without spending much money is really a bargain."
"Ah An is really amazing."
"That's right, don't you even know whose brother he is?"
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin watched and praised it.
Mei Yueqin saw a lot of food and drinks, as well as a rice cooker, and said, "Not bad, they've prepared quite a lot."
Aqing said, "It was Anran's sister-in-law who bought it. Not only these food and drinks, but also the diving suit. It cost quite a bit of money, and she bought it herself."
"It's better to be prepared."
Mei Yueqin said, "Anran is a meticulous person, so I'm relieved."
After saying that, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
Wu An has really grown up.
They're all about to settle down and start families.
As her sister-in-law, she won't have to worry so much anymore.
Wu Ping sensed the change in Mei Yueqin's expression, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "This is a good thing."
"We should hurry up too."
Mei Yueqin rolled her eyes at him: "What kind of person is he? Do you think I don't know?"
The family was walking happily home when they were stopped by Sister Duan at the door.
"I heard that Ah An drives his fishing boat to the village dock?"
"Did they really buy a fishing boat?"
"This is incredible, absolutely incredible."
"Ah An is really amazing. I've always known he was destined for great things since he was a child, and I was right."
"I have a cousin who's about the same age..."
Sister Duan was chattering on and on with compliments when she was interrupted by other villagers who had come to join in the conversation after learning that Wu An had bought a fishing boat.
"Wu An is really amazing. He has changed so much in just over a month."
"That's right. I still remember how pathetic that kid looked when Yingwei chased and beat him up. Look how smug he is today."
"How enviable!"
"How did he manage to make so much money without saying a word?"
"A sump pumping pit? Sump pumping pits are that profitable?"
Just because you can't earn it doesn't mean others can't.
"This kid is cut out for this. He'll definitely earn more if he goes out to sea with a fishing boat."
"I think the only promising young people in our village are A'an and the old village chief's grandson, A'nan."
As night fell, villagers kept coming over to chat, and Wu An couldn't handle it any longer, so he hid inside the house and refused to come out.
This is not the time for social niceties; if we keep talking like this, it's about to turn into an accident.
The house only quieted down after Wu Yingwei returned and closed the door.
Wu Yingwei asked about the situation but didn't say much, except that he drank a couple more glasses of wine during the meal.
Wu An didn't drink much, since he had to go out to sea early the next morning.
