Oliver didn't open it, but smiled very relieved: "My son is finally able to take good care of himself, I know that sailing consumes a lot, if you really already have your own fleet, then you need more money, take it back." ”

Gordon sighed, "I'm still there, it's fine." ”

While the two were talking, Gordon's mother Charlotte pushed the door in, saw some joy in Gordon's eyes, inadvertently wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled slightly.

"Mother, ...... at home"

Charlotte walked up and hugged him: "Gordon, it's good for you to come back, it's hard to be a sailor." ”

Oliver also had a lot of spirit at this time: "My son is now a captain, my original support is right, ahem......"

Charlotte also shook Oliver's hand: "Okay, I know you're right, but you'd better say less." ”

Seeing that there was a lot of gray hair on his mother's head, Gordon couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Mother, I can support my family now, and I have a lot of money." ”

Gordon opened the bag of silver coins he had taken out earlier, there were at least seventy or eighty coins in it, which was definitely enough for a family of three to live on for a year.

In fact, Gordon still has a lot of money, but he doesn't dare to take it out at once, if he takes it, it is likely that Charlotte quickly closed the door, and then forced him to ask if he was a pirate.

In the afternoon, Gordon stayed at home, then bought a lot of good things and had a good lunch at home.

Of course, Oliver could only watch from the sidelines, ate some white bread, drank a lot of boiling water, and was not allowed to eat anything stained with oil.

"Father, you should first take care of your stomach and intestines, so that you can absorb more things and recover again. ”

"Why do you boil water before you drink it?" is undoubtedly Oliver's puzzlement.

Anyway, Gordon's non-stop advice, coupled with Charlotte's tough blocking, suppressed Oliver, who was still about to drink two glasses to celebrate.

Gordon's return home made my father feel a lot more energetic, and he didn't lie down in bed again, and he got up and moved for the first time.

In the afternoon, Charlotte, accompanied by Gordon, quit her job on the farm and wanted to take care of Oliver at home, and then bought a lot of things after passing through the market, adding daily necessities at home, quilts, clothes, and a lot of candles and kerosene lamps, Gordon always felt that the house was too dark.

This home, which was once somewhat secluded, has been given a new look, and although it is not very gorgeous, it is very warm.

On this day, Gordon was almost always with his parents, telling them how to take care of their bodies and why they should boil the water to drink......

After dinner, Gordon returned to the harbor, and many sailors were bored on deck, drinking rum and laughing, because they did not dare to leave the ship without the captain's orders, and they did not know the exact time of sailing.

"Where's First Officer Morgan?" asked Gordon, returning to the ship and pulling a sailor over him.

The sailor, who was a little drunk, opened his eyes wide, only to realize that it was his own captain who had returned, and he was much more sober in an instant.

"Dafan...... Wood has ......"

However, the tongue did not obey at all, and quickly gave himself a big mouth to sober up a lot.

"The first mate and Alan took the sailors to the exchange, and they haven't come back yet!"

And at this time, Kuric just climbed onto the deck and saw Gordon roll his eyes: "You finally thought of coming back, how was this day?"

In the midst of this annoyance, Gordon rekindled his cigar and leaned a little dejectedly on the side of the ship.

"It's not good, my father is seriously ill, I don't even know what to do?"

According to the Oriental culture, according to filial piety, you should not travel far at this time, you should take care of your parents at home, but you have only just embarked on a voyage, you have your own ambitions, and you want to have more money to send home.

"Have you found a doctor?"

Gordon shook his head, just slowly took a puff of cigarette, what can doctors do now, add to the chaos, only Chinese medicine may be useful in this era.

"That's right, Chinese medicine!"

But the word was too difficult to understand, and Alan didn't understand it either.

However, the journey was too long, and it took them about two months to reach the land of China, and they did not know how much time they would have to delay.

"Morgan, did you know that there is a kingdom in the East called the Qing Dynasty?"

And the latter shook his head obviously: "According to the map drawn by the Royal Academy, there is no country called the Qing Dynasty as far away as Australia. ”

Gordon sighed, stopped thinking about the question, and instead shouted, "Mickey, where have you been?"

"This, this. ”

Mickey, who was still playing cards with a few sailors in the cabin, hurriedly ran up to Gordon's side: "What do you have to tell the captain?" ”

"So we'll rest in this port for a week and give the sailors some money. ”

After Gordon finished speaking, he threw out a large money bag and gave it to him.

"Morgan, did this deal go well?"

Gordon continued.

Kurich directly took out a generation of coins and handed them to Gordon: "77 gold coins, this time the harvest is not bad." ”

The heavy bag was extremely eye-catching, and Gordon didn't think about it, and threw it back to him: "Send the ship to the shipyard for repairs, and the rest will be with you first, and you will buy new supplies and cargo when you are ready to sail." ”

The decision to amend and pay the money was, of course, to the cheers of these sailors, whether the captain made money or not, it was not their concern, as long as there was money to take it.

After taking care of the ship's trivialities, Gordon was going to look for Harry at the tavern, and if he was to go to sea again, the family would have to trouble him to take care of it.

Kuric looked at Gordon's degraded figure and sighed, he was a busy life after all, and it seemed that he would have to help this kid take care of the ship for a while.

By the time Gordon arrived at the tavern they had agreed upon, it was already dark, and it wasn't very nice, but it was still clean.

When he walked into the tavern, he saw Harry already sitting at the innermost table and beckoned to him.

Gordon smiled, then bought two bottles of rum from the bar and walked over.

"Harry, we haven't seen each other in a year. ”

Gordon sat down, poured a glass for both of them, and took a sip.

Harry looked at Gordon's outfit, the whole person was completely different in terms of style and temperament, exuding a sense of arrogance and perseverance from his bones.

"Gordon, I still can't forget, I said that we would sail together, and when I finally went to look for you, your father told me that you had been gone for a week, and I was furious. ”

"Hahaha, don't mention the past, drink, drink!"
