Everyone had basically tied the hemp rope by now. Jack, Robert and the other two were not very good at it. Seeing this, Boss Fu stepped forward to help. It was a bit crowded when standing there, so he thought about it and decided to let Jack and the others watch from the side first.

Nine people are really too many. If we stand together, we'll bump into each other and it won't be easy to move around.

When the other six people can't carry it anymore, it won't be too late for Jack and the others to join in.

After making careful arrangements, Boss Fu personally checked all the hemp ropes. After making sure there were no problems, everyone held the hemp ropes tightly, waiting for Boss Fu's order.

Seeing this, Boss Fu turned around and looked towards the cargo hold. The next second, Fu Wan's voice came over.

"Dad, it's done! The cargo hold is now clear!"

"Okay, then everyone listen to my slogan."

Boss Fu clapped his hands, and everyone hurriedly tightened their grip on the ropes again, looking ready to go.

"one two Three!"

"rise!"

With the last order, everyone exerted force together. Although they were mentally prepared, Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui still staggered several steps due to the weight of the dark wood.

Fortunately, Jack and Robert were quick to step forward and support him.

Boss Fu was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. Seeing that he had escaped danger, he couldn't help but praise: "Jack, Luobote, good job!"

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay!"

Jack and Robert laughed triumphantly, and pulled Tom along to help find the rope.

With the addition of three people, everyone worked together again and finally lifted the wood.

Fu Wan saw this scene from a distance, and her heart instantly returned to its place.

"Okay, head towards the cargo hold, and be careful not to bump into anything!"

Boss Fu guided everyone to carry the wood to the cargo hold.

It is not easy to put a piece of wood more than four meters long into the cargo hold. Fortunately, there are not many things in the cargo hold, so there is enough space to put down the wood.

After the wood was safely stored in the cargo hold, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This job looks simple, but it is actually not easy!

"Oh, this wood is really heavy. I think it must weigh at least 800 kilograms!"

Fu Ming took a few deep breaths and couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Lin agreed and was about to say something when the boat suddenly shook. Everyone subconsciously grabbed the nearest railing and did not fall.

Boss Fu hurried out of the cargo hold and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and he could not see the stars or the moon.

The wind and waves at sea have become much stronger, and waves rush onto the deck from time to time.

"It's going to rain heavily, everyone should go and rest first!"

Boss Fu shouted sternly, and Fu Wan suggested, "No need to go to the rest cabin. We haven't had dinner yet. It's just right for everyone to go get something to eat at this time."

"Yes, it's our turn to cook tonight!"

Fu Mancang responded. He was worried that his cooking skills were not very good. If everyone went to the kitchen, it would be a good opportunity for them to help him!

Fu Wan turned her head and looked at the deck again. The deck was empty at this time. The fish baskets had already been put into the cargo hold by Fang Min and Fu Qing.

The previous fish had been sent to the cold storage long ago. Fu Wan was extremely grateful at this time that the crabs originally placed in the oil drums on the deck had been taken away by the fresh-collecting boat. Otherwise, if they were left on the deck and got caught in the rain, those crabs would probably have died.

Dead crabs can only be sold at a low price. If they have been dead for too long, they cannot be sold at all and can only be thrown away to feed chickens and ducks.

"Okay, there's nothing to do on deck, let's all go to the kitchen!"

Fu Wan called out, and everyone went to the kitchen one after another.

Just as everyone was leaving, there was a crackling sound outside, which was the sound of raindrops hitting the deck.

The deck was instantly soaked. The rain was so fast and heavy that Fu Wan felt it wouldn't last long.

The group walked into the kitchen. There was not a drop of the steamed rice left from lunch, but Fu Mancang had kneaded the dough in advance and planned to let everyone eat noodles in the evening.

Fu Wan had no objection to eating noodles. She glanced at the basin that Fu Ming brought, which was filled with the fish he had taken out earlier to prepare for dinner.

There are fresh octopuses with long and short legs, sea slugs as long as a little finger, and quite a few crabs with broken legs.

Seeing the crabs, Fu Wan felt a little toothache. This period was indeed a good time to catch crabs, so after this trip to the sea, they basically had crabs for every meal.

We tried all kinds of dishes, steamed, stir-fried, and fried.

But there is nothing we can do. Some crabs are always half dead when they are dragged out of the net. If we leave them until we take them back, I am afraid they will have gone bad.

It's meat after all, and no one wants to waste it.

"The cabin is full. Everyone can have a fried egg later. The sea hare and octopus are also delicious if they are blanched directly!"

Fu Mancang responded when he heard this. Seeing this, Fu Jinshui picked up the basin and went to the side to wash the seafood.

There were so many people in the kitchen that it was difficult to move around. Jack was very optimistic and not afraid of being swayed in the waves. He took out some cards and went to play with Fu Ming and Ye Lin.

Since there was nothing to do at the moment, Fu Wan let them go. She thought about it and turned to walk towards the wheelhouse.

In the wheelhouse, Boss Fu and Dong Haiyang were looking at the sea ahead with serious expressions.

Hearing footsteps outside, Dong Haiyang instinctively turned his head to look. He was not surprised to see it was Fu Wan. As the ship owner, Fu Wan would definitely come over to check the situation when they encountered storms at sea.

"Dad, Uncle Dong, how is it?"

"Fortunately, the wind and waves aren't particularly strong, and our boat is big enough. We can just slow down and sail slowly and everything will be fine."

"Yes, fortunately the Riding the Wind and Waves is big enough. I wonder how things are going with Old Chen and the others?"

Boss Fu looked worried, and seeing this, Fu Wan simply turned on the radio to contact the ship "Return with Full Load".

Perhaps due to the weather, the sound of electricity lasted for a long time before Chen Balian's voice was heard from the other side.

“Hello%*hey…!”

Fu Wan was getting a little anxious waiting, and when she heard the voice, she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Chen, how are you guys doing?"

"I...we...should...stop...on...the...island..."

The signal was bad and the sound was so intermittent that it was impossible to understand.

Fu Wan could only guess what Chen Balian wanted to say based on the words she could barely hear.

"Are you guys stopping at the edge of the island? I can't hear you clearly. Be careful, the storm should pass soon!"

"……good……"

There was another squeaking sound of electricity from the other side. After a long time, I could barely make out the word "OK".

Fu Wan had no choice but to turn off the radio.

"They probably stopped at the edge of some deserted island. There shouldn't be any danger."

Boss Fu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "It's good that there's no danger. The weather is just like this this season. Old Chen has been at the helm for decades, so nothing will happen!"

"Yes, there's no need to worry. Have you noticed that the wind has died down a lot?"

Dong Haiyang had been staring at the sea. Upon hearing what he said, Fu Wan glanced at the waves outside. The waves not far away were indeed much smaller.

However, at this moment, two shrill cries were heard in the sea breeze. Fu Wan's heart tightened and she subconsciously looked up into the sky.
