Chapter 006 Happy Stepmother

Jiang Sinian explained: "My family is in the north. I was a navy before, so I am used to dealing with the sea. I wanted to go fishing with Chen Bin, but I didn't expect..."

Jiang Sinian paused.

Lin Wanxia blushed a little. She didn't expect her to sleep with him suddenly.

Although it was the original owner's fault, she was the one who took the blame.

Fortunately, Jiang Sinian was still a gentleman and didn't mention it. He just skipped it. "Some of my comrades heard that I was getting married, so they thought that everyone would buy a second-hand fishing boat and do it themselves. My brothers will go on a boat with me."

Lin Wanxia nodded to show her understanding. Jiang Sinian really couldn't handle such a big boat alone.

Lin Wanxia was curious and envious.

Which fisherman doesn't want a fishing boat of his own? !

She wants it too.

In fact, most fishermen used to have their own boats, and they used their boats as their homes.

But because of the special ten years before, everyone went out to sea to fish for a fixed salary, and the fish they caught had to be handed over to the commune, and then to the fishery administration.

As a result, the boats were gradually confiscated, and everyone began to move their living areas to the shore.

The original owner's parents also built the current house during that time, but they returned to the city within two years after the construction, or disappeared.

Since the reform and opening up, the island city has allowed individual households to own their own boats again. There

are only 36 boats of all sizes in the village now, and most villagers can only choose to work as boatmen for families with large boats.

Lin Wanxia took a turn on the boat and felt a little strange.

In her impression, fishing boats are generally dirty and smelly. This boat named "Yuying" is obviously second-hand, but it is very clean, as if it has never fished before.

Maybe it was thoroughly cleaned before the new paint?

And she found several familiar marks on the boat. When she was about to take a closer look, Jiang Sinian suddenly stepped in front of her, "This boat..."

Lin Wanxia embarrassedly withdrew her hand and interrupted Jiang Sinian's words, "I know, the boat is yours. Don't worry, I won't miss your boat, but can I discuss something? You see, such a big ship will definitely not be near the coast, can you hire me as a crew member? You

see, you and your comrades are not locals, and you are not as familiar with this sea area as I am, right? And I can drive a boat and I am good at swimming."

Lin Wanxia strongly recommended herself.

Jiang Sinian refused without a second thought: "No! Our ship is going to Sea Area 246. You should know how dangerous it is to fish on the high seas, and it takes a month to go back and forth."

Sea Area 246 in the novel is set as a controversial area of ​​the high seas.

There are fishing boats, police ships, military ships and pirates from different countries in that sea area.

The original author should have carefully checked the information, and the setting of the novel is closer to reality.

Since 1979, there have been fishing bans and fishing bans in the waters near the island city.

Now is still the fishing ban season, and if you want to fish, you can only go to the high seas.

There are many fish on the high seas, but there are also many dangers.

You may encounter pirates, or even be detained by other countries for no reason.

In short, the gain is proportional to the danger.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger.

The reason Jiang Sinian gave greatly reduced Lin Wanxia's embarrassment of being rejected, after all, it was for her own good.

However, Lin Wanxia looked at the fishing boat she was standing on with greedy eyes and said unwillingly: "Why don't you think about it again? You guys are busy and at least need someone to cook for you, right?"

Jiang Sinian remained unmoved: "We all know how to cook."

Not to mention being on the boat, they are all experts in surviving in the wild.

Lin Wanxia was a little frustrated, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she cursed Jiang Sinian for being stingy in her heart.

Of course, she didn't have to be a boatman, she just needed to make money urgently.

Seeing Lin Wanxia with her head down and a face full of depression, like an abandoned kitten, Jiang Sinian felt inexplicably soft in his heart and suggested, "I have a three-year-old son, who will live with me after the wedding. How about if we go out to sea and you stay on shore to help take care of the child, I will pay you? Twenty yuan a day, food expenses are extra."

Lin Wanxia was so shocked that she almost fell into the sea.

What did she hear?

Jiang Sinian has a son? Doesn't that mean she has a stepmother?

Ah! No, she didn't sleep with a married woman, did she?

Lin Wanxia's expression was too obvious, and it was hard for Jiang Sinian not to guess.

While straightening her up, Lin Wanxia explained, "Don't worry, I'm not a married woman."

In view of the divorce rate in the 1980s, Lin Wanxia guessed that Jiang Sinian was most likely a widower.

Lin Wanxia realized: Jiang Sinian was a widower.

It was really pitiful for him to be a single father at such a young age.

Lin Wanxia raised her hand and patted Jiang Sinian's arm with sympathy, "We brothers share the same fate, both are miserable people. Deal!"

Jiang Sinian: "???"

Brothers?

And how did he become a miserable person?

Lin Wanxia didn't care what Jiang Sinian thought, she was secretly happy in her heart! Just

kidding, Lin Youzhi, who was interning in the city, only made 35 yuan a month.

In the original book, the monthly salary of ordinary people was about 40 to 50 yuan.

Twenty yuan a day is already an upper-middle-class income, and there is no need to go out to sea to take risks, so Lin Wanxia readily agreed.

"I haven't had the chance to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Sinian, I'm 23 years old, from the north, and I started serving in the army at the age of 18..."

"My name is Lin Wanxia, ​​20 years old. As for what happened before, I... drank too much and acted impulsively. I'm sorry."

Jiang Sinian was silent for a while, then spoke: "I'm also wrong."

He shouldn't have relaxed his vigilance just because he was at a comrade-in-arms' house. With his ability, he shouldn't have let Lin Wanxia succeed.

Lin Wanxia: "..."

"Well... I know that being a live-in son-in-law makes you lose face. I'm very grateful that you agreed to help me! Don't worry, I will let you go after three months."

***

Jiang Sinian's comrades now live on the boat, and Jiang Sinian is responsible for sending Lin Wanxia home.

It was already evening when they returned from the dock. When

Lin Wanxia got home, she found a bunch of people sitting in the house.

There were men, women, old and young.

Lin Wanxia was not unfamiliar with these people, as they were all Zhu Qiaoyun's family members.

When she was a child, Lin Wanxia had to go to the Zhu family during every festival, and every time she would be bullied by the Zhu family, young and old.

The old ones punished her, the older ones beat her, and the younger ones teased her.

Unfortunately, she was not the original owner who allowed others to bully her.

Lin Gensheng squatted in the corner with a bruised face and nose, and when he saw Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian come in, he winked at her and asked her to leave.

Lin Yaoyao, who had her back to the door, turned around and saw Lin Wanxia immediately said to the old woman at the table: "Grandma, it's her! She sent my mother to the police station and wanted to drive me and my father out."

Lin Wanxia ignored her and leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms and looked at everyone, "What are you doing here?"

The old woman frowned in disdain, "How did Qiaoyun act as a nanny? How did she teach her child to be so rude? Yelling at the elders." After that, she instructed the middle-aged woman next to her, "Oldest wife, go teach her some manners!"
