Lu Yao originally planned to invite his brother-in-law to his boat to help, but now that he heard him say that he didn't want to go to sea again, he dispelled this idea.

He asked instead, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you want to open a fishing family, why do you want to find another job?"

Miao Xingde shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ah Yao, do you think it's so simple to open a fishing house? First of all, there must be a big yard, I don't want to rent it, because once I do a good job, it will be easy for the owner of the house to take it back and do it myself." ”

Seeing Lu Yao's surprised expression, Miao Xingde said with a straight face: "Don't doubt that what I said is alarmist, this kind of thing is too common in rural places like ours, and I have witnessed such things before." So just in case, I definitely chose to buy a yard. ”

"Compared with renting a house, buying a house has another advantage, in the future, Xiaoliang will be older to study in junior high school, and he must go to the town to study, and it will be more convenient to buy a house. ”

Lu Yao nodded when he heard this, because there is only a primary school in the village and no junior high school, and if you want to go to junior high school, there is only a middle school in the town, and there is only a junior high school, not a high school.

If you want to go to high school, you can only go to the county, in short, layer by layer, rural children want to study is very troublesome, unlike urban children, from primary school to high school do not have to be too far from home.

Moreover, Lu Yao also knew that the houses in the town were two or three stories high, and when the time came, he could use the hall and courtyard on the first floor to do business, and it was also very convenient to live on the second and third floors by himself.

So Miao Xingde said that he wanted to buy a house in the town, but Lu Yao was still more supportive. But now the houses in the town are not cheap, and the houses with yards on the third floor are now more than 800,000 units, and the location is slightly better, and the price near the road is even 1 million.

With Miao Xingde's current family situation, it would be good if he could come up with a maximum of 400,000 or 500,000 yuan, so he would have the opportunity to go to sea to fish, and wanted to earn more money to buy a house as soon as possible.

Lu Yao frowned and asked softly, "Brother-in-law, are you optimistic about any houses in the town now?"

Lu Yao really couldn't help him with the rest of the money himself, anyway, it wasn't a lot for himself, so he should repay his eldest sister for taking care of him for so many years.

Miao Xingde sighed: "I haven't asked yet, now the money is at least half short, and I can't afford to buy it if I ask, what's the use?"

If you buy a house in the countryside without a loan, others who are willing to sell the house must be because they lack money, or they don't plan to live here, and basically they want cash.

Lu Yao was just about to say something, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person walking into the cockpit, and he closed his mouth tightly.

The person who walked in was Miao Liwei, the first mate on Miao Lifu's ship, who was also the helmsman of the fishing boat and the person responsible for driving the boat.

Miao Liwei said with a smile: "Ah Yao, the meal is ready, you go to eat with Xingde first, and I will open it here." ”

Lu Yao was not polite, and replied with a smile: "That's okay, then you will take care of Uncle Wei, and I will replace you after I finish eating." ”

Miao Liwei said: "It's okay, you eat slowly, driving a boat is my old job, there will be no problem." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Wei, of course I can trust your craftsmanship, but it's still raining outside, and the wind and waves are not small, I'm afraid I can't take the original course. You just have to follow the killer whale in front of you and it will show us the way. Lu Yao said with a smile and pointed to the dorsal fin looming outside the cockpit.

Thanks to Miao Liwei's good eyesight, he could see Taiji's figure clearly from a distance of several hundred meters, and he was surprised: "It turns out that this killer whale hasn't left yet? ”

Miao Xingde also couldn't help nodding in agreement, saying that it was a loss to this killer whale, he had never seen such a humane killer whale before, and he was so friendly to humans.

Lu Yao smiled on the side and didn't say anything, so he didn't tell them that this was his newly adopted godson.

......

......

Lu Yao casually ate a little to fill his stomach for lunch, after all, this ship was temporarily rented, and there was not much food prepared on it, but no one cared, in this case, it would be good to have something to fill his stomach, where is there so much attention?

After eating, Lu Yao asked his brother-in-law to go back to the cabin to rest, and he went to the cockpit to replace Miao Liwei.

It was really embarrassing to hear everyone's words of gratitude to Dade in the kitchen, this time he came to sea to save his brother-in-law, and the others were just incidental.

It's enough to listen to a word or two of thanksgiving, but it's not interesting to really think of yourself as a savior.

Taking over Miao Liwei's work, Lu Yao asked casually: "Uncle Wei, do you know which direction we are moving in now? Will it be farther and farther offshore?"

Miao Liwei said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are still in the East China Sea, looking at this direction, we will either go to LH City or go to the provincial capital Donghai City." ”

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, I'm worried that I will run farther and farther, in case I accidentally cross the border and run to the waters of other countries, it will be troublesome." ”

Miao Liwei shook his head and smiled: "That's not it, I found that the killer whale is still very reliable to lead the way." In this bad weather environment, navigation has lost its meaning, the turbid sea surface is not clear to see the direction ahead, a little carelessness will get lost, and it is not impossible to hit the reef. ”

Lu Yao asked thoughtfully, "Did you send a wireless distress signal?"

Miao Liwei nodded and said, "It's been sent, but I haven't received a reply yet." In this case, we should rely more on self-help than hope to wait for others to come to the rescue. ”

"The sea is still very rough now, and even if there are rescue ships, they may not be able to find our exact location, and we can't stop in one place and wait. Actually, I admire Ah Yao's boat driving skills, you can actually brave the wind and waves twice as big as the current one from the town dock to save us, I don't know how difficult it is. ”

Listening to Miao Liwei's flattering words, Lu Yao touched his nose embarrassedly and said: "Actually, it's all luck, the main thing is that the killer whale led the way to find everyone, otherwise I wouldn't have that ability." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and when they saw Miao Lifu walking in with a stick and twisting his buttocks, Lu Yao felt a little funny in his heart, but his face was concerned and asked: "Boss of the boat, you have an injury to your buttocks, just rest in the cabin, why are you running the cockpit?"

Miao Lifu waved his hand and said bitterly: "Ah Yao, don't shout the title of ship boss, I came here mainly to ask you, how long will we be able to dock? ”

Lu Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know very well, I'm not familiar with this sea area, but just now Uncle Wei said that he had sent a wireless distress signal, but he didn't receive a reply." ”

"Ah, what should I do then? Do you want to see Ayi have a high fever like this?" Miao Lifu looked desperate.
