Under the slightly hot sunshine, Wei Ran took an extra mop he bought not long ago and dipped it in the paint bucket, and then worked hard as a painter.
Compared with the small brush that is only the size of a palm, this mop is undoubtedly much easier to use, but at the same time it consumes a lot more paint. If Yi is busy selling fish, If you see it, you will inevitably have to make some remarks.
Because of this, before Weiran bought the mop, he bought two additional large barrels of paint of the same color and an angle grinder for rust removal.
With such busy work and materials, he not only completed the painting of the deck before 12 noon, but even painted the outside of the cockpit with an extra layer of sky blue. paint.
With nothing to do, Wei Ran, who was interested, simply waved the mop and painted all the places that needed painting. He also cleaned the cabin and put away the accumulated old wine bottles. All the rubbish such as broken cardboard boxes and all kinds of mess were thrown out.
After finishing all the work at hand, he took off his paint-stained apron, carried the rocking chair in one hand, and the insulated lunch box that he had not yet opened in the other hand, stepped on the gangplank to the pier, Start enjoying your long overdue breakfast.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Ivan, three people and one cat came back with a stroller, Wei Ran was already snoring in the sun on the lounge chair.
"Victor, it's time to go home." Ivan kicked the rocking chair and woke up Wei Ran, who was sleeping.
"Sold out" Wei Ran yawned, stood up unsteadily and began to pack up the lounge chairs.
"Of course it's sold out, and I brought you lunch." As Ivan spoke, he handed over two burgers wrapped in paper.
"Thank you" Wei Ran took the burger with sleepy eyes, "Is there anything that needs to be shipped back today?"
"It seems that you have adapted to this job"
Ivan said as he walked to the ship, "But there is nothing to be transported back today. You even painted the outside of the cockpit."
"It's a convenient thing" Wei Ran was quite proud. said.
"Victor, although you are very diligent, your painting skills are really too rough." The bearded old man said with a look of disgust, "Even if you use a mop to paint, you won't be able to do this." It's ugly."
"I just brushed it with a mop."
"Forget it, get ready to go home." Ivan twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't say anything after all. After untying the cable, He greeted Wei Ran and walked into the cockpit.
Looking at the clean cockpit, Ivan's face finally showed a look of satisfaction, "Because you are so diligent, you will drive the ship this time." You must go slower when leaving the dock. If you damage someone else's fishing boat, you will pay for it."
I knew I wouldn't be so diligent
Wei Ran muttered to himself, He started the engine step by step and steered the boat slowly away.pier.
After narrowly avoiding the surrounding fishing boats, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief and carefully turned the direction of the boat.
"Raise the speed to the highest level," Ivan said without warning.
“The highest level mentioned,” Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
Ivan was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly pushed the accelerator to the bottom. Suddenly, the roar of the engine became much more violent.
In addition to Wei Ran who almost stumbled and fell due to his failure to check, the two old men in the cabin also stood up and walked into the engine room silently after looking at each other. Instead, Ivan sat down on the chair next to Wei Ran, put his hand on the instrument panel, and tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers.
In contrast, Wei Ran was much more nervous. As the speed of the ship soared, he became more and more cautious in his operations, for fear that turning the steering wheel too fast would cause the ship to crash. Roll over.
Fortunately, seeing the distance to the small fishing village getting closer and closer, Ivan finally returned the accelerator to its original position. After a while, the ship's speed further decreased, and Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
This boat just ran at a high speed of 36 knots. Although converted to the speed of a car on land, it is only about 60 kilometers per hour, but at the same speed, it can make noise everywhere. It's really scary on the broken ship.
"The next docking is up to you."
Ivan pointed to his pier outside the window and said, "If you damage my pier, go there yourself." Cut down trees in the forest to repair it."
The heart that Wei Ran had just put back in his stomach started to rise again, and he carefully maneuvered the fishing boat closer to it, squeezing the fish hanging on the dock. Those used tires slowly stopped.
When the engine stalled, Ivan nodded with satisfaction, "It's not too stupid. Okay, let's get off the boat and see if there is anything Yana needs your help with."
"Today's work is over"
Wei Ran asked as he carried his suitcase and walked out. He came back early this afternoon, and with the top speed he had driven all the way, he couldn't do it now. It's just less than three o'clock.
"Of course it's over"
Ivan squatted down and touched the paint on the deck with his finger, "And thank you for painting the deck with such a thick layer of paint. If If we can't do it tonight, we don't have to get up early tomorrow."
"Uh" Wei Ran grinned, finally realizing that he seemed to have done something stupid.
"That's not bad. You can do other things." Ivan rarely blamed Wei Ran. He just said as he walked, "Victor, come with me to repair the roof tomorrow." "Okay."
"As long as you don't mind my poor skills," Wei Ran said nonchalantly. After spending the past two days together, he finally stopped thinking about it. Whether the other party will evaluate himself or not, he should come here to experience life on vacation.
Following Ivan to put things back into the house, the two of them returned to the boat. Together with the other two old guys, they took down the fishing nets and hung them on the racks on the shore.
After all this busy work, the time was not much earlier than yesterday. Even because the bearded old guy needed help to repair the engine of the fishing boat, he was held up by the strong guard with his hands full. When the oil on his face emerged from the engine compartment, the lights were already on in the wooden house not far away.
I went back to the room early after dinner just like yesterday. With nothing to do, Wei Ran simply took out his laptop and continued working on his graduation thesis. It was already mid-to-late May, and according to his cheap According to the instructor, he must finish his thesis work before the middle of next month. Calculating this, he only has less than a month left.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, when Wei Ran woke up under the urging of his biological clock, Ivan and his wife had already made breakfast and were busy making preparations for repairing the roof. At work.
This job is not too difficult, and with the help of the two old guys who still don’t know their names working on the ship, as well as the help of several enthusiastic neighbors around, it is possible to use It took half a day to re-pave the roof of the wooden house with waterproof material.
Under Yana's warm reception, everyone who had been busy for a long time had a lively lunch, and Ivan finally got his wish and had a big drink with his friends and neighbors.
Wei Ran, who was watching on the sidelines, was sighing secretly, even though this was Maozi's territory, even though this remote fishing village was not too wealthy. But it is indeed not much different from many rural areas in China.
The same distant relatives are not as good as the close neighbors, the same young people are pitiful, and the same middle-aged and elderly people are forgotten by the prosperous world outside. Of course, there is also the same leisure and tranquility that cannot be experienced in the city, as well as a hint of boredom that seems to be absent.
After having had enough food and wine, Ivan, who was drunk, sent away the neighbors and friends who came to help, but without saying a word, he threw a fishing gear bag to Wei Ran and motioned to follow him, and then picked up a fishing gear bag. Bunch the keys and walk towards the pier.
"What are we doing?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"Of course I'm going fishing." When Ivan said this, he changed the topic and asked abruptly, "Can you dive?"
"Yes, but not particularly professional." ”
Wei Ran answered truthfully that Hongqi Forestry Farm did teach diving. Not long ago, he paid to experience it when he was in Hawaii, but the deepest depth was only more than 20 meters.
"Forget it, we're just fishing today." Ivan said, having already stepped onto the deck of the fishing boat, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction casually.
Seeing this, Wei Ran didn't bother to ask any more questions. He started the engine more skillfully and drove the fishing boat away from the pier towards the northeast.
"Stop the engine and come fishing with me." IvanWith that said, he already walked out of the cabin carrying a black fishing gear bag.
After a whole day of drying, the thick layer of paint on the deck was finally almost dry. Even because lazy Wei Yan used a rough mop when painting, it was extra. Added some friction.
The old man and the young man each set up a lounge chair on the deck at the stern of the boat. Ivan skillfully swayed the slender fishing rod, threw the light fly hook into the water, and then smoothly took the fish in his hand. He stuck the rod into the hole in the armrest of the rocking chair and lay down, obviously not caring whether any fish would take the bait.
In comparison, Wei Ran is not far behind. After all, his grandma’s family is from Baiyangdian. Let alone fishing, he can barely manage even with the kind of net he used yesterday morning. Throw out a big enough circle.
Similarly throwing the fluttering fishhook into the water, Wei Ran imitated the other party's example and fixed the fishing rod on the armrest of the rocking chair, while secretly wondering if the other party was going to say something.
“Concentrate on fishing and don’t think blindly”
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Ivan reminded him with his eyes closed, and soon after, he actually started playing loudly. purring.
"Forget it, let's just play here"
Wei Ran muttered in his heart again, rocking the rocking chair with interest and driving the fishing rod fixed on it. Then he pulls the fake bait at the end of the fishing line, patiently seducing the prey underwater who want to stand out. ,Please remember:,Free fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
