Chapter 265: Happy Event
"Captain!"
As soon as Bey got to the side of the Arrow, he heard Matt calling himself.
"How's everything going for the trip?" Bei Hai shrank his head and asked loudly to Matt on the deck, the ports are quite open, and the wind here is naturally a little stronger than near Bei Hai's house, and it is almost November, and the wind brought by the low pressure directly penetrates into the clothes, making people feel cold and swishing.
As soon as Bei Hai asked a word, the little sister fluttered down from Bei Hai's shoulder and sang in her mouth: "Sister, I want to go home!" "Except for Bei Hai, no one here understands the medium fire rock and roll flew towards the hatch, as if he didn't want to stay in the wind for a moment.
However, it can also be understood that the parrot must be a tropical bird, and the little sister is not perverted enough to live in the Antarctic by relying on feathers.
"Preparing! But the asterisk seems to be ready for everything," Matt said.
Bei Hai waved his hand at Matt: "Then I'll go over there first!" βγ
After Bei Hai finished speaking, he walked towards the asterisk, and now there are more people on the deck of the asterisk than on the arrow, and all six people are here.
Joey saw the captain coming over and said hello to Bei Hai.
"How's the preparation going?" Behai went up to the deck and stood beside Joey, looking inside along the opening of the storage compartment, now the cabin can be said to be clean, not even a little ice chips are visible, it can be seen that these people have done a good job of maintaining the ship, at least in the places that Behai can see.
The storage tank is made of seawater ice, not freshwater ice, and the crew generally asks to clean the storage tank after the fish are transported on each return voyage. Wait for the next time you go to sea and then turn on the ice-making mechanism.
"Everything is ready, I'm ready to wait another half an hour before I drop anchor and head to the fishery," said Joey.
Bei Hai couldn't help but nod when he heard Joey say this, just talking about the diligence of making money. Now the Arrow is not as good as the sailors on the asterisk, and Joey is really fighting with this group of crews. Although the catch is not as valuable as bluefin tuna, but now with the efforts of this boatman, the income is now about 20 percent higher than Bei Hai's estimate, and the original fishing star for this year has been basically completed. The Arrow, on the other hand, dragged its feet.
"Decide for yourself!" Bei Hai nodded at Joey: "When we get to the fishing ground, we will contact you directly after helping to choose a fishing spot, and this time we will go a little further north." Bei Hai said to Joey that he had set a new coordinate, to be honest, Bei Hai still doesn't know if there are any fish there, but the sea is deep enough, even if there are no fish, Bei Hai will let the fritters and leather balls take the fish over.
"Then we'll go directly later" Joey repeated the coordinates and directions that Bei Hai said and nodded and agreed, not to mention going north, now it is Bei Hai who said that there are fish on the Arctic ice, and Joey, the boatman, is estimated to find a way to drive the boat over. Now this boatload of people fishing love xΓΉ is really how high and how high! Especially after several days of trimming. Once again, the crew's thirst for dollars prevailed.
"Granbank, we're coming!"
Hearing that Bei Hai agreed to everyone to set off first, the crew immediately cheered.
Bei Hai listened to these people happily and smiled, turned around and went to the dock, and walked towards the Arrow.
Seeing Bei Hai on the deck, Matt asked, "What's the fun over there?" βγ
"They're ready, they're going to leave the port right away," Bei Hai said.
"They got the first time," Matt said with a little indignation after glancing at the asterisk.
Bei Hai waved his hand indifferently: "This is also a matter of no way, who let us encounter more things this fishing season!" βγ After speaking, Bei Hai opened his mouth and asked, "What step are you ready to?" βγ
"It's time to check the fishing gear," Matt said.
"Okay, let's get started!" When Bei Hai heard this, he immediately rolled up his cuffs and walked towards the hanging board on the side of the boat, four sets of fishing gear used plus a spare set of fishing gear are now hanging here, what Bei Hai has to do now is to check the performance of these fishing gears, don't arrive at sea when the time comes, this side is also a problem, and there is also a problem.
After the entire fishing gear was sorted out and inspected, more than an hour had passed. The Asterisk had already departed from the docks, and the Arrow was still waiting for its crew.
The fuel was refueled, and the whole ship was fully prepared to sail, and it was past ten o'clock in the night. At this time, Bei Hai and Matt were a little annoyed, because a boatload of people were waiting for Qi Yiming's arrival, and it was about to reach the appointed time. But there was still no shadow of Qi Yiming on the dock.
"Why is this person so procrastinating this time, and he can say something about it!" Bei Hai looked at the time of his watch, and there was not much left from the agreed time to go to sea. I couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"I'll give him a call," Matt said to Bei Hai as he pulled out his phone.
Before Matt's phone could be pulled out, Dominic said, "Don't call." It's coming! After speaking, he pointed at the night.
"How did you come! If you're a little later, we'll be ready to sail! Matt, get ready to anchor! After Bei Hai watched Qi Yiming go on the deck, he said a word and walked towards the bridge.
Bei Hai patronized and complained, but he didn't see Qi Yiming's red-faced eyes as if he had drunk ecstasy soup, and the whole person stood on the deck with a burst of silly music, and he didn't even listen to the captain's complaints.
Waiting for the things on the deck to be done, the three of them returned to the cabin, and the silly look on Qi Yiming's face was immediately discovered by Matt and Dominic.
Matt patted Qi Yiming directly, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of Qi Yiming's eyes and asked jokingly, "What's wrong?" Did Obama send you money? βγ
"Vera is pregnant," Qi Yiming continued to say silly.
Matt and Dominic both congratulated Qi Yiming when they heard this.
"Not bad!" Matt nodded happily: "Lauren proposed that you have a child, Dominic, when are you going to get married?" βγ
Dominic leaned against the side of the ship and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, the captain doesn't have a girlfriend yet!" βγ
Qi Yiming said with a smile: "This is outdated for you." The captain has a girlfriend! βγ
"What? I haven't seen everyone in a few days now, and it's been one news after another," Mattle said.
Dominic said, "Matt, do you have any new information to share with you?" I can be the best man."
Matt hurriedly shook his head: "No! βγ
Although the old man is now living with an old lady, he has no intention of getting married. Because it is not only a matter of hurting feelings, but also a matter of hurting money, and it is not hurting a little money, and for rich people in the United States, it is a divorce that is a layer of skin. More than ten years have passed now. Old Matt still has lingering feelings about divorce, and his current pocket is not as good as before, he can be regarded as a rich old man, and now he has made up his mind that cohabitation can be lived or dead, and he refuses to get married again.
After the Arrow sailed out of the harbor, Bei Hai set the ship to sail automatically, and then returned to the cabin to hear the good news.
"Why don't you stay at home for a few days?" Bei Hai asked Qi Yiming.
Qi Yiming replied with a smile: "There are less than twenty days left, and besides, the child will need money everywhere as soon as he is born, I am not thinking about accompanying Vera now, but thinking about how to make more money!" βγ
As in China, raising children in the United States is also a costly job, what school district housing. Extracurricular classes are also a problem that American families must face, not to mention the annual tuition of $40,000 or 50,000 in college, and many families with slightly lower families save money for their children early.
I used to hear people in China say that American children don't need money to go to school, and there is little extracurricular homework, but I don't know what year it is. As the competition becomes more and more intense, the life of children in the United States is becoming more and more difficult, and even their parents are affected. In the United States, high-quality educational resources are also scarce resources, and they are not even enjoyed by the average middle class. The price of school district housing is not cheap at all.
"Why are you in a hurry, just find a good private school and send it over when the time comes!" Dominic said casually, and added happily after speaking: "As long as the boss's ability to find fish is still there." Are we still afraid that our children will not be able to go to a good school? βγ
These words slapped Bei Hai's little fart by the way.
Matt and Qi Yiming both smiled when they heard it, and no one said that what Dominic said was wrong, because it was the truth. Up to now, everyone has divided hundreds of thousands, and for a boatload of people now, these problems that plague ordinary families are not a problem. Now this boatload of living creatures that can talk from top to bottom is except for the little sister. None of them can be classified into the middle class, and one of them is considered a high-income family. Now when it comes to it, even Dominic has a bit of a straight tone.
The Arrow headed towards Granbank, and the four people in the cabin were talking enthusiastically about Qi Yiming's child. It was obvious that Qi Yiming was very happy, and not only Qi Yiming heard him say that even his parents in his hometown were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this little life.
"I'll tell you when Morey was born. I was still living a semi-hippie life, but when he was born...... "Matt is now foaming at the mouth of the group, talking to a few people about his own mental journey when his son and grandson were born. Listening to old Matt constantly describing the child with God's gift, not only Qi Yiming's hope, but even Dominic, who has never thought about getting married now, is a little tempted.
In the next time, no matter what Qi Yiming is talking about, he can pull the topic to the child in Vera's belly who doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman in the shortest possible time, and then after saying a few words by himself, there is only silly fun.
The time to talk leisurely about children or something was quite short on the ship, and the speed of the arrow also determined that Qi Yiming did not have much time to hide in the cabin. Almost leaving the traditional Granbank fishing grounds, Beihai 'found' a new school of fish.
"Everyone get ready, the first set of fishing gear will be thrown for me here!" Bei Hai stopped the boat, bent down, and shouted loudly to the crew in the passage.
Hearing the captain's order, the three of Matt immediately set off for the deck. Once again, the strong breeze in the Atlantic Ocean accompanied by the occasional crash on the deck, the deck of the Arrow was once again busy. (To be continued......) R1292
