For the rest of the day, the McCawan couple didn't care much about Bei Hai's stay in the house, and they never brought coffee to the room again. It is estimated that the two of them don't want to deal with one more elve.

A week passed quickly, and today is also the time for the first exam agreed by Bei Hai, which is the written test of the captain of the fishing boat, that is, the qualification of the orange red water, according to the formality, not everyone can wear this color. I don't want to say much, anyway, if you go to sea as a captain, you must have this, it doesn't matter whether the crew is there or not, it is said that it is involved in the safety of a boatload of people.

Bei Hai went out with his hands empty, and left the house under the strange gaze of the McCawans, and walked towards the examination tube.

When he arrived at the tube, Bei Hai didn't know anyone, and he saw that several people who seemed to come to the exam were in their early thirties, and it was difficult for him to get in front of others. I had to stand alone under the eaves of the management office and play with my mobile phone.

As soon as he took out his mobile phone, Bei Hai heard someone greet him.

"Hey! Friend, you're here for the exam too? ”。

As soon as Bei Hai looked up, he saw a fat South American man who was about the same height as himself looking at him, and the weather in Boston in August was only ten or twenty degrees, so now this fat man was wearing a hoodie and his fat head was shrunk in his hat.

The fat man saw Bei Hai raise his head, so he took out the hand in his pocket and stretched it out to Bei Hai.

"My name is Istada, Esta Kaufman," said the fat man.

"Hull, Hull Bey" Bei Hai also stretched out his hand and shook the fat man, and the two little fat men who were about the same height knew each other.

Isda sat down next to Bei Hai and casually asked Bei Hai, "How are you learning?" ”。

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Bei Hai couldn't help but look at Isda, and thought to himself: This white fat man doesn't want me to pass him a note, right?

"Nothing! It's that I've taken the exam three times, and each time it's a C, and it's almost a B" Isda shook his legs and said, "If I had figured this out, I would have gone to university to become a lawyer, and I still used it to fish in the sea?" ”。

Bei Hai asked, "Is the invigilation strict?" ”。

Isda didn't answer and nodded with his finger to the two or three groups of people standing at the door: "There are two staff members at a time to invigilate the exam, and now there are cameras to monitor them!" ”。

Bei Hai understood, there were less than ten people, and one person could see the invigilator, not to mention the camera. However, these have no effect on my cheating, and I don't have to look into the space, just put my brain in.

Chatting with Isda for a while, listening to Isda introduce the few people who came to take the test, Bei Hai understood that these people, including Isda himself, have worked on fishing boats for at least three years, and when it comes to newcomers, only he is a newcomer who has given him a new look.

And except for Isda, these people are all veterans of fishing, and even Isda doesn't look down on it, where can they still look at Bei Hai, an Asian.

Bei Hai thought to himself: No wonder this little fat man of South American descent wants to talk to him!

After chatting for about five or six minutes, I heard someone from the management office inform me that these people would go in for the exam.

Everyone knows that who hasn't failed the exam a few times when they are in their twenties?

"You don't have any problems, do you?" One of the two invigilators, who really couldn't stand it, had to roll his eyes every time he did a question, tilted his head to a forty-five degree angle and posed in this strange posture for a minute or two.

The two examiners have followed Bei Hai's line of sight more than once, there is no cheat sheet or anything, and the whole roof can't be whiter anymore!

Bei Hai retracted his 'gaze': "It's okay, this is my habit of thinking, it's not that there's anything wrong, I don't understand if I don't roll my eyes!" ”。

"Then you can continue to answer the question!" The examiner had no choice but to let Bei Hai continue to write the questions in his own way of thinking.

To be honest, this kind of topic is not too difficult, but there are too many things to remember, such as how many degrees the hull of the ship is deviated to one side, which side must be lowered to assist in balance, and what is the distress channel, but fortunately, how to quickly contact the coast guard for help, etc., are all used at sea.

Bei Hai did it while 'reading', naturally it took a long time, until the end of the exam, Bei Hai still had two or three questions that did not write the answers, but according to the scoring standard, Bei Hai typed two words for himself in his heart: Tong guò!

"How did you do on the exam?" Isda put the roll on the table and then stood up with Bei Hai to say hello.

Bei Hai saw that his fat face was about to crumple into a budding daisy, and he was embarrassed to say that he was about to pass, so he had to say: "There are still two or three questions that have not been answered!" ”。

"Good luck!" Hearing Bei Hai say this, Isda seemed to be in a better mood, looked at Bei Hai and smiled.

What kind of person is this fat man! Bei Hai couldn't help but be happy in his heart, his thoughts of emotional schadenfreude were similar to those of his brother, but he couldn't see that others were better than him?

As soon as I thought of this, I felt that the Five Organs Temple was a little unhappy, and Li hurriedly said to Isda that he was going to the bathroom. Then without waiting for anyone to answer, he quickly rushed in the direction of the word WC.

"Hmmm! It's so cool! During this time, the peaches have eaten too much, and their stomachs are protesting," Bei Hai squatted on the toilet and thought after a while.

"There are still Asians who come to test for captainship!" A voice came in from outside: "Asians also fish?" ”。

Another voice rang out: "Perhaps! Who knows, they really need to do some computer work."

"Maybe it won't be long before this Asian guy will be running away from Gloucester with a crying nose!" The first voice said.

Then Bei Hai heard the sound of the two people releasing water, and then whispered about their exams, obviously these were two bastards who at least had a sense of white superiority. This kind of person cannot be said to be many in the United States, but it must not be said to be too few, anyway, there are such people everywhere, and Bei Hai believes that it is not the first time he has heard it nor the last time he has heard it.

The voices of these two people, Bei Hai, also heard it, one seemed to be the first mate of the Hunter, named Martin, and the other was called Augie or something Bei Hai couldn't remember it for a while.

After coming out of the toilet and leaving the management office, Bei Hai returned to his place of residence and began to 'prepare' for the next exam.

In the next three days, after each subject, the old McCowan and his wife looked at Bei Hai with a point of surprise, because when the results came out on the second day after each exam, Bei Hai could always get a B, whether it was B- or B+, he could pass guò anyway. In the past three days, all the theories that should have been tested have been 'tested' by Bei Hai.

"Is it because Asians are so good at exams?" Joe watched Bei Hai stride upstairs and asked Mary quietly.

Mary hadn't answered yet, and Bei Hai walked down with brisk steps.

"Joe, do you know some of the captains who chartered the boat?" Bei Hai asked Joe.

When Qiao heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "I have lived here for thirty years, and I know almost all the captains!" If you want to rent any kind of boat, you can rent it from speedboats to ocean-going trawlers! ”。

"The best is the kind of boat that fishes for blue flag tuna, I want to learn how to drive a boat" Bei Hai watched Ren drive on Ren's boat, but Rennes didn't let Bei Hai and these people drive the boat, so now Bei Hai can only say that he has never eaten pork to drive a boat, but he has seen pigs run.

"Then you wait a while, I'll help you ask" Joe heard and motioned for Bei Hai to sit down, and he walked towards his room.

Soon, Joe turned back and had an extra notebook in his hand, sat down on the sofa with the notebook, and began to dial the phone.

After a few phone calls, Joe said to Bei Hai: "I helped you contact a captain, he went to sea the morning after tomorrow, his ship is at the West Wharf, and the cost of three days is three hundred and eighty dollars, what do you think?" ”。

"Will you let me sail?" This is what Bei Hai is most concerned about. Looking at Joe, he nodded and said, "That's okay!" ”。

"At half past eight in the morning the day after tomorrow, at the West Pier, the captain's name is Diego Kaufman."

Another Kaufman? Bei Hai immediately thought about it when he heard it: It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Does he have a son named Ishda?"

"You know?" Joe asked curiously.

Bei Hai nodded: "I met on the first day of the exam!" Will Isda also go to sea the day after tomorrow? ”。

"Every time, father and son go to sea together!".

Oh! That's an acquaintance! Bei Hai thought to himself.
