I'm particularly sorry for the late update today. My friend's wedding is next Monday. As the best man, I have a lot of shit to do and am doing hard work. ****
Wang Bo does not resist activities like blind dates, but he knows that it is not reliable at all. He is far away in New Zealand, so he can't just take a girl he likes with him when he meets her, right
Besides, he also has goals. Eva seems to him to be very good, especially when the glasses teacher stays with the children, Lao Wang feels that there are only four words: a good wife and a good mother!
Only three days after the transaction with Song Zijun, the weather was gloomy at noon that day. Wang Bo received a call, and then he took his parents to the town.
Dad Bo muttered on the way: "What kind of surprise is this? You are so mysterious, what are you doing?"
Bo's mother asked with concern: "Have you met a girl from some family?"
Zhong Dabao grinned and wanted to smile, but Wang Bo quickly glared at him and told him not to speak, otherwise his efforts would be in vain.
The town is close to the sea. There is a pier that extends to the sea. Some large and small fishing boats are parked around it. However, the largest fishing boat is only thirty meters long. It is painted with ancient colors. At first glance, it looks like an old boat that has been full of wind and waves at sea.
It was noon, the warmest time of the day in winter, and the fishermen in the town were packing their things on their boats.
When Bo's father and Bo's mother arrived at the pier, they stretched out their hands to say hello to their acquaintances. Although they were not from the same village, most of them were fellow villagers who went to sea together and almost all knew them.
Seeing Wang Bo, someone asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, is this my eldest nephew? I heard that my eldest nephew went abroad. Did he go to Africa? Why is it so dark?"
The town is close to the sea, but not many people go abroad to work, so news about which village has someone going abroad will spread quickly and become a topic of conversation before and after meals.
Wang Bo smiled helplessly. The sun in New Zealand was very strong, and he did get a little tan.
Bo's father and Bo's mother both had good tempers and were joking with the people around them. At this time, a large fishing boat that was 90% new slowly came over, and its figure gradually became clearer.
As the son of a fisherman, Wang Bo has a different feeling for the ocean and fishing boats. In his opinion, big boats are the most reliable means of transportation for mankind. This is why he chose to buy a fishing boat for his family.
Land is the foundation for supporting a family, and fishing boats are a tool for making a living. These are the simplest ideas of fishermen.
The fishing boat painted with dark blue paint slowly came to the dock. The four characters "East China Sea Whirlwind" were painted on the hull with white paint, looking solemn and majestic.
The surrounding fishermen were discussing who owned this fishing boat. The small town pier was only used to dock real fishermen's boats. Larger boats were docked at the county pier, so there were very few strange and large boats arriving. Everyone was very curious to see it.
Bo's father and Bo's mother were also watching with great interest. Bo's mother also lamented to Wang Bo: "If your father had gone on long-distance voyages when he was young, he would have earned a fishing boat and come back. It's not like he has nothing now." I’ll earn it for you.”
The fishing boat docked, and Song Zijun's driver walked out carrying a briefcase.
He saw Wang Bo and Zhong Dabao stretching out their hands on the dock from a long distance away, then shook hands one by one and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, Brother Dabao, you have been waiting for a long time."
Wang Bo said angrily: "Actually, we have just arrived. Oh, these are my parents. I bought this boat for my father. He drove a small sampan out to sea. I am very worried."
Seeing this scene, the two old men Bo's father and Bo's mother were stunned, and the fishermen watching the excitement were also dumbfounded. After listening to Wang Bo's words, they naturally understood who owned this boat.
The driver shook hands with the two old men and said in a warm tone: "Oh my, are these uncles and aunts? You really have a good boy. Brother Wang is amazing. Young people who can buy a 300-horsepower fishing boat with full payment are rare nowadays."
Dad Bo looked at his son with wide eyes and asked, "Did you buy the boat?"
Wang Bo shrugged and said, "Well, I just bought it. Brother Jun is so fast. The transfer is completed so quickly?"
The driver smiled and said: "The transfer was completed on the same day, and the boat was briefly repainted yesterday. Now the boat looks more pleasing to the eye, right?"
Indeed, this fishing boat looks much more beautiful now. Not only has it been repainted, but some parts have also been polished. From the front, it looks like a new fishing boat.
After verifying that the transfer procedures were OK, Wang Bo transferred the remaining balance to the account given to him by Song Zijun. With the driver out of the way, he and the helmsman of the boat left.
Then, Lao Wang took his parents aboard the Donghai Tornado and said to his father: "Dad, this is our family's boat. You have a small fishing boat driving license. You should have no problem driving this boat, right?"
In Wangjia Fishing Village, people of Bo's generation all went to sea and ran ships when they were young. Many of them had passed the ship driving license and even worked as third mates, second mates and other jobs on long-distance ships.
But after getting married, most people left the fishing boats and returned to their hometowns honestly. Although they made less money, they were less risky and could take care of their families.
This is why Bo's mother just said that if Bo's father had not come back when he was young and had been sailing away, he would have saved enough money to buy a fishing boat.
The fact that Wang Bo bought a fishing boat for his family with full payment soon caused a sensation on the dock. People packing things around put down their work and got on the fishing boat to take a look.
Previously, the group of people greeted Bo's father and mother in a casual and joking tone, but now they are much more polite when they get on the boat. Some people even handed Wang Bo cigarettes and asked him about the parameters and price of the boat.
Bo's father and Bo's mother are ordinary old fishermen who have never been so popular in their lives. For them, having a big fishing boat of their own is a very glorious thing.
You know, a fishing boat is not a car. Buying a boat not only costs several million for the boat fee, but also means hundreds of thousands in insurance, fuel, maintenance, net gear, etc. How can you afford to keep the boat? It means they are from a wealthy family.
In particular, Wang Bo paid the full price for the boat, which is quite shocking.
Bo's dad and Bo's mom stayed on the boat all afternoon, getting to know each other from the cockpit to the stern cabin, constantly entertaining friends and acquaintances who came after hearing the news.
In the evening, the family of three returned home happily. Bo's father and Bo's mother began the second meeting: "Xiao Bo, where did you get so much money? You remitted 200,000 to your family earlier, and this cost another 100,000. I bought a boat for half a million—that’s 1.7 million!”
Wang Bo said: "It's very complicated to explain to you. Anyway, the source of my money is absolutely aboveboard, so you can rest assured."
The two old men smacked their lips and nodded. Naturally, they knew the temperament of their children best, but their son's sudden wealth still made them anxious and difficult to accept.
Poor parents in the world!
But there is also an advantage to him buying a fishing boat, that is, the news spread quickly in the village, and everyone took a high look at their family. Even Aunt Qiu was a lot more cautious when introducing him to a blind date...
