Liu Meilan is not tall, but she is very imposing when driving the boat.

Liu Yibang and Fu Chen watched from the sidelines, fascinated, "Captain Meilan, your reputation is well-deserved!"

Liu Meilan was not as modest as the others. After hearing the compliment from her third brother, she smiled proudly and said, "Of course! We make a living on the sea. Only with strong skills can we lead the boatmen, ride the wind and waves, and return with a full load."

Liu Yibang smiled and asked, "Meilan, I think your state on the fishing boat is different from your state on the shore!"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes! Although life on the shore is more interesting and rich, for me, being surrounded by the breath of the sea and having so much to gain, that sense of happiness and joy is incomparable to anything else."

"Then you can't live without the sea for the rest of your life!" Liu Yibang sighed, glancing at Fu Chen.

Fu Chen was very perceptive and felt that Liu Yibang had something else in mind. "From the beginning to the end, I have supported Meilan in pursuing her own career. As long as she likes it, I will support her."

Liu Yibang laughed when he heard this, "That's good, I don't have to worry about you having disagreements in the future!"

When it came to dating Liu Meilan, Fu Chen had already thought of every aspect.

If he didn't tolerate Liu Meilan, Liu Meilan would never put herself in a difficult position and would break up with him directly.

Besides, everyone is an independent individual, and Fu Chen has no reason to stop Liu Meilan's hobbies.

When they have children, they will discuss it and always find a solution.

After an exciting day, Liu Yibang felt tired and returned to the dormitory to rest.

When he woke up again, it was already dark outside. Hearing the noise outside, Liu Yibang quickly put on his clothes and came out.

It turns out the internet has been launched!

The workers were processing the cuttlefish, sorting and packing them, and sending them to the fish hold. Everyone was busy, and Liu Yibang wanted to help, but he was so flustered that his clothes got dirty.

Liu Meilan pointed at the basket. She didn't want her third brother to cause trouble here, but she couldn't discourage his enthusiasm. "Third brother, if you can't sit still, go with Fu Chen and carry these sorted things downstairs."

Liu Yibang also felt embarrassed, "Okay, then I'll do some heavy work! I won't do this kind of delicate work!"

After working for two hours, I finally sorted all the cuttlefish and some other fish and sent them into the fish hold.

Liu Yibang was so tired that he slumped on a stool. "I originally thought that since I usually exercise a lot, it would be easy for me to do these tasks. But now it seems that this is not the case at all!"

Fu Chen sighed, "Sports and labor are two different things. Farmers and fishermen are actually very hard-working people. Now only large ships like Meilan make more money, and they are more generous and give more to the boatmen."

"More fishermen have actually given up fishing and started looking for other ways out! Some work in factories, and some start small businesses. There are many opportunities in Shanghai, which is good. Most of them are farmers. They work hard all year round, but after paying the public tax, they only have enough to make a living."

Liu Yibang nodded, and became more determined to serve the people. "When I take up a post in a local government, I will work hard to develop the local economy. I will increase the income of farmers and workers."

Liu Yibang never thought about corruption. He himself did not have such high material needs, and his family's financial conditions were relatively good, so there was no need for him to embezzle.

Liu Yibang still remembers clearly the earnest instructions of his parents and elders and dares not forget them.

"Then keep going!" Fu Chen encouraged.

Sister Chen has already prepared dinner and will be using the cuttlefish that was just caught to make a dish tonight.

Stir-fried cuttlefish is a very delicious dish. Cut the cuttlefish into small thin slices and marinate it with cooking wine, salt and pepper for a while. Heat oil in a pan and add sliced ​​ginger and minced garlic to sauté. This step is very important. Then put the cuttlefish in, stir-fry quickly, add green peppers, onions and other vegetables, and simply season with seasonings. The stir-fried cuttlefish with good color, aroma and taste is ready.

There is another dish that Liu Meilan enjoyed very much. That is grilled cuttlefish. People who like seafood should not miss this dish.

Originally, Fu Chen and Liu Yibang were very polite when eating, but the food was so delicious and there were so many people eating, everyone was fighting for the food, so they couldn't help but eat faster, for fear that they would miss out if they ate too slowly.

Liu Yibang praised, "Sister Chen, with your skills, you can make a lot of money even if you open a shop."

Mrs. Chen shook her head repeatedly. "I won't open a shop. I will go out to sea with Meilan. I will work as long as I can. When I can't work anymore, I will retire. When my daughter gets married and has children, I will take care of their children."

"If I open my own shop, I have to choose a location, select goods, do the work, and manage so many people. It's so tiring. I don't want to do it. I'm a straightforward person and I don't like trouble. I feel very happy just being on the fishing boat."

Liu Meilan was proud, "I like the cooking of Sister Chen and my Second Aunt now. It is very rare to be able to cook home-cooked food so well."

"I won't leave unless Meilan doesn't let me work on the ship." Mrs. Chen said from the bottom of her heart. When she was helpless, it was Liu Meilan who helped her out of the predicament.

When her husband was alive, she had him to rely on. After her husband passed away, she had to leave her hometown to make a living as a woman with two children. It was too difficult.

Since working with Liu Meilan, Mrs. Chen seemed to have returned to the time when her husband was still alive. She had a backbone and a backer, and she had nothing to fear.

This feeling of peace of mind is priceless.

"As long as you want to work here, you can work as long as you want." Liu Meilan smiled, "Sister Chen, can I order food tomorrow morning?"

"What do you want to eat tomorrow?" asked Mrs. Chen.

Liu Meilan replied: "How about rice noodle rolls?"

"I thought it was something else." Mrs. Chen smiled, "Isn't it just rice rolls? Tomorrow we will not only have rice rolls, but also preserved egg and lean meat porridge. By the way, Fu Chen, Yi Bang, what do you want to eat?"

Fu Chen smiled and said, "All right."

Liu Yibang asked, "Can you put some shrimp in the rice noodle rolls?"

Mrs. Chen replied: "We are a fishing boat, and we have no shortage of seafood. I have collected a lot of fish and shrimp. I will peel the shrimp and make shrimp egg rice rolls for you tomorrow." (Photo)

After everyone finished eating, Mrs. Chen and Aunt Liu cleaned up the dishes and prepared the ingredients for the night school.

At night, the boatmen have to work without sleeping. They will be hungry in the middle of the night.

Midnight snacks are different from daytime snacks, and the food you eat must be easy to digest.

Aunt Liu suggested, "Let's make boat porridge. It's simple, tasty and easy to digest. We can cut the fried dough sticks we brought from the shore into shreds and put them in the porridge. It will not only add flavor but also help to relieve hunger."

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I fried a lot of peanuts at home, which can be used now. Let's have some snacks and let the boatmen have a good meal."

Aunt Liu nodded, "Yes! As we should, we have so much money, so we should think carefully."

Just as they were busy, they heard screams from outside. Mrs. Chen and Aunt Liu were curious and rushed to the deck.
