Lao Lin is a boat boss on the Yangtze River, and his family has been operating at this ferry port since their ancestors, and over the years, they have three or four ferries of different sizes under their hands.

Don't look at these three or four boats, the ferry is not as short as running a business, the distance is short, and the money is less, Lao Lin can have three or four boats, and he is already a celebrity in the ferryman's business.

On this section of the river, whether it is going to Yangzhou or from Yangzhou to the other side, most of them will take his family's ferry.

In this way, Lao Lin's business is not bad, he is not rich, but he also has no worries about food and clothing, and he can save a little land and family business for his children and grandchildren.

Originally, with the gradual growth of age, Lao Lin no longer managed the ship himself.

But now this season is special, several helpers hired by his subordinates have gone home for the New Year and have not returned, he himself is also a hard worker, he can't be idle, taking advantage of this New Year's holiday, he supports a small boat by himself, and comes out to make more money.

After all, the ship is empty, and it is empty!

When people are idle, they are also idle!

If you want to meet someone who is in a hurry to cross the river, you have to give a few New Year's money, right?

But not to mention, Lao Lin has not been busy or tired in the past two days, and he can't pull a few people a day, but the money he received across the river is quite rich.

Those pedestrians who come and go do not stop watching Lao Lin University celebrate the New Year, and almost all of them will give more hard-earned money, which makes Lao Lin Le happy, and he is more and more diligent.

Early this morning, seeing that the weather was good, he left the ship early.

It's a pity that today is unlucky, Lao Lin blew a cold wind by the river all morning, and he didn't even see a ghost.

Seeing that it was noon and he hadn't opened yet, Lao Lin had to wrap his padded jacket tightly, sigh, and sail back to eat.

Untied the cable, rocked the boat and rowed slowly to the opposite bank, but it didn't come to pass, at this moment, a team came to cross the river on the road in the distance!

The old Lin Gan ferryman has been working for almost a lifetime, and he only saw from a distance the mighty knights in this team, the gorgeous vehicles, and even the servants wearing good new clothes, he knew that this must be a rich team!

Hurriedly rowed the boat back, and shouted a few words with the knife that came forward to talk, making sure that the pedestrian had to cross the river, Lao Lin dared to delay, and immediately rushed back to go back to change the big boat, during which he didn't even care about the old wife asking him to eat, called out the two tired sons, and led them to the dock together.

————

The smoke on the river was vast, and a large ship with half a sail tore through the smoke and headed for the other side of the river.

"The ship is coming......

A thick and desolate trumpet sound came, and it seemed that the entire river was echoing with this sound.

When Xiao Han heard this, Huo Ran got up! I saw that in the haze of the river, a flat boat appeared steadily on the river, half of the white sail was blown by the wind, carrying the big boat below, and sailed straight to his side.

"The boat is coming, everyone pack up their things and prepare to cross the river!" Confirming that it was a ferryboat, Xiao Han rubbed his face that was a little cold from the wind, and turned around to greet the people who accompanied him.

"Whoa!"

When the stunned people under the big stone heard this, they habitually bowed their hands and responded loudly.

Xiao Han stumbled and almost fell off the stone! When he finally stabilized his figure, he immediately glared at them: "Fart! Who told you? Didn't you just say that? We are now businessmen, not generals! ”

"Master Hou, we are afraid that this habit will not be changed for a while......" scratched his head and muttered.

He was actually very unimpressed by Xiao Han's change of identity, why did a good marquis pretend to be a copper-smelling businessman?

"Huh? What did you just call me? Xiao Han turned his head to stare at the stunned man, his eyes were a little dangerous.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that I seemed to have called the wrong name just now, and I immediately regretted it!

People don't speak, they just pop out and say it themselves! If you say too much, you will lose, why can't you remember this truth?

Just when he was stunned and wanted to slap his mouth twice, on the river, the deep voice came again!

"Xiao Langjun ~ please help your people pick up the rope!"

Hearing this voice, the stunned man seemed to hear a wonderful heavenly sound, and immediately let out a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "Second son?" This ......"

Xiao Han looked at his appearance, helplessly held his head, and said, "Hey, look at what I'm doing, let's take the rope first!" ”

"Oh, okay!"

When he heard this, he hurriedly ran to the river, and did not forget to arrest Jia San along the way.

The big ship approached slowly, and when it was still about ten feet away from the shore, a heavy cable flew far from the ship.

Seeing this, he took a few steps forward and grabbed the cable that was as thick as a calf in his hand.

As soon as the thick cable was reached, Jia San immediately felt extremely heavy!

If it hadn't been for the stunned man who rushed over and grabbed the rope with him, he doubted that he would be carried back to the river by the rebound of the rope.

"This man has a lot of strength!"

Holding the cable, Jia San looked up at the old man who threw the cable in surprise, but saw the old man laugh first:

"Good offspring! It's been a long time since I've seen a rope, and I've been born so steadily! Hey, help me put the rope on which rock, yes, that one! Thank you very much! ”

Lao Lin, who was standing on the deck, spoke in an extremely loud voice, which he had also practiced in his years of boating career.

The river is wide, sometimes the wind and waves are strong, if you speak softly like a big girl and a little daughter-in-law, then the ghost can still hear what you say?

As for Jia San, who was surprised, he listened to Lao Lin speak happily at this time, and he was faintly praising himself, and he immediately had a good impression of him, the boss of the ship! Together with the stunned man, as he said, put the cable on a large rock on the shore.

There was a winch on the big boat, and Lao Lin's two sons turned the winch with great effort, and the thick cable was tightened little by little, and the big boat slowly approached the wharf.

"Bang ......"

Finally, the big ship stuck firmly to the dock, and on the side of the hull, the sack straw used as a cushion was instantly squeezed into a flat one.

The ensuing huge impact shook the humble wharf, and frightened Xiaodong, who was standing on the wharf, hurriedly jumped back to the shore.

"Hahaha......"

When the boat stopped, Lao Lin laughed and threw a few planks from the boat.

His two sons also jumped from the boat to the dock as quickly as they could, and then picked up the fallen planks and built a ramp for the carriages to go up and down.

"I've kept the guests waiting, please get on board!"

Looking at Xiao Han and the others waiting on the side of the dock, Lao Lin's honest face showed a hint of cunning, and he didn't even say the price, and directly asked someone to board the ship.
