Although Wang Xiuzhu acted in no order, she was a little sincere to Pei Yang, although Shen Mingzhu did not agree to her conditions, but after she went back, she immediately called her uncle who worked in the Maritime Safety Bureau and explained Pei Yang's situation.

Although Wang Xiuzhu's uncle is not from Fengcheng, they all belong to the same province, and reapplying for a seafarer's certificate is a matter of saying hello and working overtime.

At noon, Lin Guofu brought good news to Pei Yang.

The Fengcheng Maritime Safety Bureau promised to help Pei Yang reapply for the seafarer's certificate as soon as possible, and mail it by expedited express, and he will receive it in about three days.

Three days later is also the date of departure of the route.

Just in case the mail was delayed on the way, Lin Guofu applied to the head office for a one-day postponement of departure on the grounds that the freighter needed to be inspected.

“…… The head office has approved, and the original scheduled departure on the afternoon of the third day of the new year has been changed to the afternoon of the fourth day of the new year, so you can finally rest assured. ”

The joy on Pei Yang's face was overflowing, "Master, thanks to you this time, I have caused you trouble again." ”

Lin Guofu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "And Xiuzhu, she has also made a lot of efforts, if it weren't for her uncle to negotiate with Fengcheng, this certificate would not have been reissued so quickly." ”

Pei Yang nodded, "Then when this voyage comes back, I will bring Mingzhu to the Wang's house in person to thank you." ”

"We'll talk about it then. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, how are you going to spend it? Why don't you go back to your hometown with me? ”

"No, Master, there are quite a few brothers who haven't come home, and I'm going to have a good time with them in the cafeteria."

"Okay."

After sending Lin Guofu away, Pei Yang and Shen Mingzhu looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Mingzhu is happy that Pei Yang's career has been preserved, and Pei Yang's happiness is more selfish than Shen Mingzhu.

If he delays his departure for one day, he can stay with his daughter-in-law for one more day, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

In the afternoon, Pei Yang took the mother and son to visit the ship.

As a modern person forty years later, the steamer Shen Mingzhu is naturally no stranger, and he has also taken a more luxurious and advanced cruise ship than this.

But she still listened with great interest to Pei Yang's explanation of the ship's structure, facilities, and cabin buildings.

Pei Yang, who arrived on the boat, followed the boat in two completely two states.

Under the boat, he is relaxed, open-minded, funny, and has some macho strong domineering, while on the boat, he is focused and serious, calm, and serious.

Men who work hard are the most attractive, and this sentence has been vividly reflected in Pei Yang.

She and Pei Ziheng, one is a layman and the other is a four-year-old child, but Pei Yang is patient and meticulous, and there is no ambiguity about the role and significance of the existence of the first rivet.

Wang Xiuzhu said that Pei Yang loves the ocean and loves the profession of seafarer, which is really right.

After visiting the freighter, Pei Yang took the mother and son to the beach to buy all kinds of fresh goods caught by fishermen, and then went to buy vegetables and pork flour, planning to make dumplings at night.

Back at the staff dormitory, the crew members who did not go home were hanging lanterns and pasting Spring Festival couplets in full swing.

Pei Yan also joined them, and Shen Mingzhu and several female family members went to the cafeteria to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Pei Ziheng and a few children of the same age played marbles in the courtyard of the dormitory building, and after playing for a while, I don't know who suggested going out to buy firecrackers to play.

So they each ran to ask their parents for pocket money, and Pei Ziheng also ran to find Pei Yang.

Pei Yang gave him a dollar and told him not to run away.

"Oh, buy firecrackers!"

A group of children ran out of the dormitory compound like little monkeys.

Diagonally across from the dormitory building, there is a kiosk selling firecrackers, and a group of children gather around the stalls of the commissary, noisily shouting.

Pei Ziheng took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, turned around and ran into the telephone bureau not far away.

——

As night falls, the streets are lit up, crackling firecrackers are ringing out, and colorful fireworks are lit up in the night sky from time to time.

In the staff cafeteria, more than two dozen people gathered together to spend Chinese New Year's Eve.

The men sat at a large table, and the women and children sat alone at another table.

Men drink happily, women and children eat and laugh.

After a while, the hot dumplings were served on the table, and before everyone moved the chopsticks, someone got up and announced: "The old rule, eat the performance program of copper coins, of course, it is okay not to perform, and you will be punished with three cups to pass the test." ”

"Good!"

The crowd laughed and coaxed.

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to perform a show, let alone drink, so she simply didn't eat dumplings and just ate vegetables.

In the afternoon, some fresh goods bought from the fishing boat were steamed and boiled, and they were very sweet.

Shen Mingzhu was biting the crab leg beautifully, and suddenly a body with heat was attached to his back.

She turned around in some fright and found that it was Pei Yang.

He propped his arms on the edge of the table at either side of her, a posture half-circled around her, and his smiling eyes fell on the small hill-like shrimp shells and crab shells beside her bowl.

"Do you like seafood so much?"

His head rested on her shoulder, the heat of his speech spurting on her earlobe, with a strong smell of alcohol.

Seeing that everyone else at the table was looking at them teasingly, Shen Mingzhu's face was so hot that she reached out and pushed the man back, but instead of pushing the person away, she was held by the man's hand.

When the man let go of her hand, there was an extra copper coin in her palm.

Dog stuff!

"I can't drink anymore, and I can't perform a show, you can help me.?"

She glared at the man, "If you can't perform a show, then don't be greedy!" ”

Pei Yang lowered his eyes to look at her, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be as gentle as a galaxy of thousands of miles, "I want to eat the dumplings you made, but I haven't eaten them before." ”

After speaking, he attached himself to her ear and said, "It's delicious." ”

Shen Mingzhu's face was red and his ears were hot, and the anger in his heart dissipated.

Seeing Pei Ziheng looking at them curiously, Shen Mingzhu took Pei Ziheng's hand and stuffed the copper coin into it.

"Wow, Ziheng, have you eaten copper coins? Go, show your uncles and aunts what you do. ”

Pei Ziheng's small face was incredible: ???

"Go quickly, manly man, dare to eat." Shen Mingzhu urged with a smile.

Pei Ziheng looked at Pei Yang, who had an expression of "I can't help", and took the lead in applauding.

You can't sleep two kinds of people in a bed, and that's what you're talking about.

Pei Ziheng could only recite a Tang poem in public full of resentment, and the little man took the responsibility that he should not bear.

It's not unusual to recite a Tang poem, but Pei Yang was very surprised and unexpected.

In his impression, his son was still a milk doll holding a bottle bare, and suddenly he grew into a young boy who could recite poetry fluently.

While the emotions of relief, satisfaction, and pride filled his chest, he also felt more grateful and fond of Shen Mingzhu's daughter-in-law.

"The poem that you taught your son to recite is herey?"

The dog man didn't know if it was intentional or not, and when he spoke, he pointed to her ear, and the heat blew on her ear.

"Go back to your seat."

His eyes fell on her earlobes that were red and almost dripping blood, Pei Yang was in a good mood and took two steps back with the force of her push, and turned back to the man's table.

Shen Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The trouble lasted until 10 o'clock for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After a tired day, when he returned to the dormitory, Shen Mingzhu lay on the bed and didn't want to move, Pei Yang took out a red envelope and gave Pei Ziheng New Year's money.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Shen Mingzhu looked for the sound and saw Pei Yang waving to her.

Shen Mingzhu sat up lazily, but didn't go over, "What are you doing?" ”

Pei Yang walked up to her with long legs and handed her a red envelope with a smile on his eyebrows.

Shen Mingzhu blinked, "I have it too?" ”

"Hmm."

"Thank you!"

The man looked at her condescendingly, and his voice was sultry, "Thank whom?" ”

Shen Mingzhu's brain twitched, "Dad? ”

Pei Yang: "......"

Pei Ziheng: "......"

Shen Mingzhu just wanted a crack in the ground for her to get into.
