A quarter of an hour later, as the sand ship got closer and closer to the joint zone of the East China Sea. What catches your eye is a cluster of ships. The ships are distributed in large and small echelons. The seven large ships at the front, which are more than 150 meters long, are the most conspicuous.

Especially when I saw the Chinese flag on the top of the ship still fluttering in the wind, I couldn't help but give birth to the fact that the days of drifting on the sea now are only temporary. Someday we will return to the land of our homeland.

After seven large ships, there is a row of ships of little different specifications about every hundred meters. Each row of boats is connected together by ropes. A long dragon was formed.

There are six rows of boats, which are also divided into six sizes, and the boats are more than 150 meters long in a row. Then it's about 100 meters, to about 80 meters, to about 50 meters, to about 20 meters. Finally, there are about 10 meters of boats in a row.

And the length of each row of ships is not the same. The longest row is about 20 meters. There are about more than six hundred ships with a total length of more than three thousand meters.

In the East China Sea Joint Zone, there are about 2,000 large and small ships combined.

Yang Mingwei did as Liu Yang said, and drove their sand boats towards the 20-meter row. Finally, docked next to a fiberglass fishing boat.

This fiberglass fishing boat, with a length of about 20 meters, has a two-story small building. In front of the small building is a large empty deck.

Then, two adults stepped out of the ship. He was followed by two children. They must have been summoned by the sound of the sand boat's whistle.

These four people should be a family of four. Two husband and wife, with two sons. The two little boys were about ten years old and looked very cute. The appearance is also very similar. It should be to the twins.

Yang Mingwei came out of the house. Greeting them.

"Hi friend. Hello! Our boat can be parked here. Can I get on your ship now? I will tie the rope to your ship. ”

"Absolutely. Need my help? The middle-aged man, who was about 40 years old, walked to the railing next to the boat and said.

"Thank you so much. Later, you and your family will come aboard our boat for a meal. Let's make friends. Yang Mingwei said with a smile.

"Good! Then you don't have to swim over. You threw the rope directly at me. I'll just tie it on. ”

"That'll do fine."

Then Yang Mingwei came to the bow of the boat and took the rope that Wang Yueqin had tied at one end. Then the rope is balled. Throw it directly onto the deck of the fishing boat three meters away.

After the middle-aged man on the fishing boat. And the rope that was thrown over was lightly tied to the railing.

Then Yang Miwei came to the stern of the boat. Then the rope tied to the stern of the boat was also thrown over.

This time, the middle-aged man tugged at the rope at the stern of the boat and did not tie it directly. Instead, the sand boat is slowly dragged closer to the fishing boat. Immediately after the stern of the two ships. Tie the rope tightly through several railings.

Then, the middle-aged man came to the rope at the bow of the boat. Untie the rope and drag it firmly. Then the distance between the bows of the ship became smaller and smaller. Finally, the sides of the two boats fit tightly together.

The decks of both ships were about the same height. One can go directly through the gap of the railing and go to another boat.

Yang Mingwei saw that the ships were already connected. So he invited them to come and be guests.

The middle-aged man beckoned to his wife and children. Subsequently, the family of four came to the living room of Yang Mingwei's house together.

Yang Xiuyu looked at the two cute little boys. took out the tomato-flavored dried fish that her mother made for her and served them to the two of them.

Yang Xiuyu asked them how old they were? What's your name? Which is the older brother and which is the younger brother?

The two little boys are not afraid of people. One of the little boys was the first to say, "Mommy said that polite children should introduce themselves before asking others." ”

Another little boy chimed in: "Sister, you have to introduce yourself first. We'll tell you! ”

Yang Xiuyu was speechless, but she still introduced herself: "My name is Yang Xiuyu, and I am 14 years old this year. Well, it's your turn. ”

"My name is Yue Huaqing, I'm eight years old this year, and I'm my older brother," said the boy who was the first to speak.

"My name is Yue Huafeng, and I am also eight years old this year. I'm a younger brother. Another little boy said.

"You two look alike. I can't tell who's who" Yang Xiuyu looked at this, and then at that. I can't see any difference between the two at all.

Yue Huaqing smiled: "Sister, don't look at the two of us!" My faces are exactly the same. Even we're both about the same height. Hee-hee, I can't see it. ”

"Well, I can't see it, there must be something different about you. Otherwise, your parents would have confused you. Tell me. Yang Xiuyu asked curiously.

The two little boys glanced at each other, and then stretched their heads in front of Yang Xiuyu in unison.

Yang Xiuyu didn't know why. Take a closer look over their heads. In the end, it was found that Yue Huaqing had one head spin on his head, and Yue Huafeng had two head spins. It dawned on me.

"This place is so hidden. When you grow taller. Who can tell the difference between the two of you? Yang Xiuyu said with a smile.

The two little boys laughed a little smugly.

He also handed the dried tomato fish in his hand to Yang Xiuyu to eat. He praised it again and again, saying that it was delicious.

Yang Xiuyu asked them to eat less, keep their stomachs, and eat the fish soup chowder cooked by her mother later, which tasted better and tastier.

The two little boys pouted. said that they eat fish soup every day, and they are tired of eating it for a long time. This tomato-flavored dried fish is still delicious.

Yang Xiuyu did not argue. But I thought to myself, when you have tasted it at noon, you will definitely regret eating so much dried fish now.

Yang Mingwei is also familiar with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is 43 years old. is named Yue Junhao, and his wife is Liu Fang, and the two are the same age.

Liu Fang and Wang Yueqin went into the kitchen together. Prepare to help cook the lunch meal together.

Yang Mingwei inquired with him about the situation of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.

What Yue Junhao said was similar to what Liu Yang and the three of them said. However, Yue Junhao said in more detail.

Yang Mingwei learned that the three major organizations all have specially planted vessels. Especially like rice. The cultivation of staple foods such as wheat is unique to them.

And this kind of food, they only trade it internally with points. Or take out what they need to exchange it.

And the points within the organization are earned by doing tasks. or hold certain positions within the organization. You will receive a certain amount of salary points.

Of course, the people who hold these positions are all people with relatively high qualifications.

Among the three organizations, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance has the largest number of members. It accounts for about two-fifths of the total number of people in the East China Sea Joint Zone.

The Colorful Cloud Pavilion has the smallest number of people. And most of them are female members. It's about 1/6.

The owner of the Nine Fantasy Building is relatively young. So most of the people who joined were young people. It's about 1/5.

The rest of the people are those who have not joined the three organizations. Of course, most of them are children under the age of 10.

The two hadn't talked for long. Wang Yueqin came out of the kitchen. Tell them to come over for dinner.
