Chapter 403: More people are more lively
Even if you are in a foreign country, you still have to be as happy as possible on a festive day like the New Year. Spend a little more money to decorate the ranch and add a little more familiar taste, so that people can feel the festive atmosphere even when they are in it.
Even if this year's year is not as lively as last year, for Zhuang Haiyang and Concubine Li, with Wang Yanming's family and two bodyguards in the company of them, they still won't feel lonely. Staying at the ranch, you can still experience the joy of the New Year.
The only thing missing may be entertainment after Chinese New Year's Eve. But even if you stay in the town for the New Year, there are still few people who will go out to play on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. More people still enjoy the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Picking up the wine glass, Zhuang Haiyang said with a sincere face: "Squad leader, sister-in-law, this cup is for the two of you." If it weren't for the help of the two of you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do such a big career now, thank you very much!"
Listening to Zhuang Haiyang's thanks, Wang Yanming smiled bitterly and said, "You kid, what are you doing with this." If you really want to say thank you, it should be us. If it weren't for your help, the two of us wouldn't know how to have a headache now!"
As Wang Yanming said, if it weren't for the two of them, Zhuang Haiyang would have provided them with a good salary and job. I'm afraid that the two couples will still have a headache for their daughter's illness, so what about being so comfortable now?
As a result, what made the couple speechless was that Zhuang Haiyang also said happily: "It's okay! Wait, you toast me, I don't mind." Anyway, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it doesn't hurt to drink more. Isn't it?"
"Well, if you want to say that, then I won't say more. β
The couple accompanied Zhuang Haiyang for a drink, and Zhuang Haiyang, who filled the wine glass again, said very directly: "Lao Hong, Ouyang, this second glass of wine is for you." Originally, I was supposed to let you go home for the New Year this year, but you ended up going abroad with me, don't you mind?"
"If you say that, we really don't dare to drink this wine! It's our job, isn't it?"
In response to Hong Wei's rebuttal, Zhuang Haiyang also continued: "Come less! It stands to reason that as soon as you leave the army this year, you should go home to spend the New Year with your family. After all these years as a soldier, you must not have spent a few Spring Festivals with your family, right?"
In the eyes of many soldiers, when the common people are the most idle and lively, they must stay in the barracks for combat readiness. As some people say, there are no quiet years, but someone is carrying the weight for them.
It is precisely because of the special nature of the army that there are really not many non-commissioned officers who can take leave to go home for the New Year during the Spring Festival. This also means that non-commissioned officers like Hong Wei and Ouyang Lei, who have been soldiers until now, really have no chance to spend the New Year with their families.
Listening to what Zhuang Haiyang said, Hong Wei and the others also nodded and said: "This is the truth! After eight years in the army, it seems that I only visited my relatives twice in my memory, and I only spent a year with my family once. Speaking of which, I really owe a lot to my family. β
These are what Hong Wei said, and Ouyang Lei also nodded at the right time: "I have had three family visits, but I have not accompanied my family for the New Year. However, it's nothing, just give me a few more days off when we get back. β
"That's for sure! Seriously, Ouyang, you're not young, and if you stay at home for a long time, you should also be urged to get married, right?"
In the face of Zhuang Haiyang's joke, although Ouyang Lei blushed a little, she also nodded and said: "Indeed! When I was transferred to the second phase of the non-commissioned officer, my family was actually a little anxious. In my hometown, there are not many people who are so old and unmarried!"
"And what are you going to do?"
"Marriage is a lifelong thing, and I don't want to act hastily. My family's conditions are relatively poor, and the salary I received as a soldier over the years has basically subsidized my family. Now that my younger siblings have grown up, I can breathe a sigh of relief. β
is different from the male soldiers recruited, Ouyang Lei also wants to open it. Now that she has reached this age, she doesn't want to hastily find someone to marry. What's more, she likes this job very much now, it's not too hard, and the income is very good.
With such conditions, she can't be asked to find someone worse than her own to marry, right?
Chatting about these short things in the parents, everyone also chatted while drinking. Through such small talk, the feelings between everyone are naturally deepening. As many comrades-in-arms said, colleagues in the company really get along with each other like family.
The little girl, who was also sitting at the table eating, finished her 'task' and said expectantly: "Mom, I'm done eating." Now, can you go play?"
You can't play when you eat, this is the rule set by my mother. For her, it is natural that she will not realize that the Chinese New Year is different from usual. Looking at the little girl's expectant expression, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Sister-in-law, let her play!"
"This girl, the bigger it gets, the harder it is to manage. β
"It's okay! I think Meng Meng is very well-behaved, if I have such a lovely daughter in the future, I will definitely wake up laughing in my dreams!"
"Isn't that fast? On your terms, it doesn't hurt to have a few more in the future! β
Listening to Lin Xin's jokes, Concubine Li also said directly: "Mengmeng, let's go play!"
"Mom, I'm going to play with Auntie!"
After saying hello, two girls, one big and one young, began to light the purchased fireworks sticks again. I go around the garden which was lit up, a red lantern and the Chinese knot. The laughter from time to time also declares that they are having a good time at the moment.
In the end, Lin Xin and Ouyang Lei also joined in, and they bought a lot of fireworks sticks anyway. For Zhuang Haiyang and the three of them, they still think the wine is a little better. Playing with them, they still felt a little too naΓ―ve.
Referring to next year's plans, Wang Yanming also said directly: "During the fishing moratorium next year, shall we pull the team here?"
"I have this plan! I plan to apply for fishing licenses for the two countries for the newly scheduled distant-water fishing vessels. What to salvage will be planned carefully then. If the price here is not good, we will work hard to bring the catch back to China.
Or, if the catch is not very large, it can be transported by air. Fishing companies and travel companies will all be upgraded next year. As far as the ranch is concerned, the relevant permits have been obtained, and the domestic side can re-apply. β
"Well, I've heard that there are more king crabs and tuna in the waters of New Cilla. The price of these two kinds of seafood in China is not low. If you can return with a full cabin every time you go to sea, you can probably make a lot of money once a month. β
For us, the risk of going out to sea to fish is higher than at home. Correspondingly, if there is a harvest, I believe it will earn more than in China. It's okay to make money. β
Whether they fish at home or abroad, they don't really care much about these comrades-in-arms who are recruited. What they really care about may be income. As long as you make money, fishing is the same there.
But for Zhuang Haiyang, the distant-water fishing vessels under construction will still be engaged in wreck salvage in addition to fishing. If there is a real chance to encounter a foreign shipwreck when he goes to sea, he will also carry out salvage on the spot.
In the later stage, Zhuang Haiyang will also apply for the corresponding security guns for the security team. For many expatriate sailors, most of them carry guns with them when they go to sea. The purpose is simple, that is, to worry about the danger at sea.
Of course, for the shipowner, these guns will definitely need to be managed as well. These guns are used only in emergency situations. If you really let the crew carry guns at work, who dares to guarantee that after a long time, these crew members will not make trouble?
The daily range of activities is limited to fishing boats. If there is any conflict between the crew, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will take the risk and use the gun directly. If such a thing happens, the consequences are still very serious.
To prevent this from happening, the shipowner will also put away his guns in advance. These guns can also be used for self-defense when a ship is in distress. Therefore, when applying for a gun, Zhuang Haiyang believes that the problem will not be too big.
What's more, even if the New Siller side disagrees, Zhuang Haiyang has a way to bring the gun on board. Even if you come across a patrol ship, I believe that those people are on the boat, and they can't find anything prohibited.
If there are law enforcement vessels that dare to trouble them, Zhuang Haiyang doesn't mind making a big deal out of it. As long as there is a reason, the distant-water fishing vessels registered in the two countries will naturally be protected by the two countries.
Halfway through drinking, Hong Wei also said in a timely manner: "I'm almost done! If you want to drink, continue, I won't participate." β
In the face of Hong Wei's moderation, Zhuang Haiyang was not too reluctant. He knew very well that Hong Wei stopped drinking in moderation every time, more to stay sober. This kind of restraint is also the professionalism required of a qualified bodyguard.
When Wang Yanming also raised his hand to surrender, the three of them chatted about wine and chatted officially. When the things were packed, Zhuang Haiyang also took Concubine Li and began to greet the New Year with the old lady's family in his hometown through mobile phone video.
New Year's calls like this are naturally not limited to the old lady's family. It's just that there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and the old lady is a close relative, so she naturally has to be the first to call to greet her. The second call was to the comrades who stayed behind.
For these comrades-in-arms who stayed on Nanshan Island, they also had a very happy Spring Festival. The family members who received them felt very satisfied with their working environment and treatment. Most importantly, you can experience a different atmosphere for the New Year.
Knowing that everything was fine at home, Zhuang Haiyang also felt very satisfied. As long as this regulation continues to be promoted, I believe that in the future, he and Concubine Li will not be the only ones on the island during the Chinese New Year. As the saying goes, there are more people to celebrate the New Year!
Just when Zhuang Haiyang was greeting his relatives and friends in China one after another, Wang Yanming and others were also doing the same thing. Even if you can't reunite with your family, friends and family, it's only natural to call and send your sincere greetings.
In this process, Zhuang Haiyang can also receive New Year's greeting calls and videos from his comrades-in-arms from time to time. Human relationships, sometimes need to be maintained. And this time of the Chinese New Year is undoubtedly the best time to maintain relationships.
In the end, seeing that the time was indeed not early, Zhuang Haiyang finished his work of answering the phone. began to shift his attention to his girlfriend, who had already taken a shower and was waiting for him to crusade at any time. On such a special day, the two of them also need to celebrate!
