Chapter 79: Surprise


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    The uncle was a straightforward person. After he told Meng Chuyuan and the others about his situation, other than expressing his helplessness towards life, he did notin.


    Meng Chuyuan felt the same way.


    Especially when the uncle talked about his experience of drifting on the sea for more than ten years, Meng Chuyuan thought of the days when she left her hometown.


    The uncle sighed softly. “Although life on the sea is a little bitter, we still have to continue living like this.”


    He had no other choice and could not leave this sea.


    Meng Chuyuan was silent for a long time. She asked curiously, “Do you have a home onnd?”


    The uncle picked up his cup and ate a mouthful of rice. When he heard Meng Chuyuan’s question, he shook his head. When the rice was swallowed, he said,


    “Wherever the boat floats, it’s home.’


    “Me too.” Meng Chuyuan smiled calmly. “Wherever I am, that is home.” Meng Chuyuan’s words confused the audience in the live-stream.


    [Oh my god! Is Sister Mengforting the fishermen or revealing her story? I hope it’s the former.]


    [Why are you suddenly showing me such a touching thing? This makes me feel very ufortable.]


    [Ahhh, wherever I am, that’s home. This sentence really pokes at me. Perhaps this is the feeling of loneliness and freedom.]


    [We’re all people who work hard for our lives. The emotions in this episode are so strong.]


    [Everyone has a story, but sometimes, we calm our minds not to tell our own story, but to be a listening ear for others instead. Isn’t it enjoyable to listen to the stories of others from afar?]


    [That’s right. No matter how life is, we have to continue living. Some days we are happy, some days we’re sad. Of course, we still have to choose to live our lives happily.]


    Lu Jinsen sat at the side,pletely speechless.


    After hearing Meng Chuyuan’s words, he raised his head curiously and looked at her.


    For some reason, Lu Jinsen suddenly felt that he could not see through her.


    Perhaps it was because Meng Chuyuan usually appeared casual and carefree, but he was a little surprised when she suddenly put on such a sad act.


    After chatting about his personal background, the uncle finished his meal and showed them around the cabin.


    As the aerial camera could not enter, they could only change the equipment at thest minute and let the guest carry the camera in.


    The staff handed the live-stream equipment to Lu Jinsen and asked him to temporarily act as a cameraman.


    After Lu Jinsen returned to the ship, he followed the uncle into the cabin.


    The interior of the cabin was not very spacious. When Lu Jinsen entered, he had to walk with his head lowered. There was a small bed, a simple dining table, and some simple daily necessities.


    There was also a small wooden house by the shore. Usually, he would dock the boat ande up here to cook. However, it was a ce where he dried the dried fish ands. It looked messy, so he did not bring them to visit.


    After Meng Chuyuan finished her tour, all she saw was simplicity and shabbiness. There were traces of repairs on the ship’s deck, and severalyers of waterproof cloth wereid on the cabin.


    Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan was very curious. “Don’t you feel insecure living on the ship? For example, what if you’re affected by the weather or encounter a natural disaster at sea?”


    The uncle smiled bitterly. “If the situation is bad, I’ll hide on the shore for a while. If it’s okay, I’ll pass by on the boat.”


    Since he didn’t have a home onnd, he didn’t know where to go if he went ashore. For a short period of time, he could still go to a nearby fisherman’s house to hide. As for other situations, the uncle would choose to stay in that small wooden house.


    Meng Chuyuan felt that the danger coefficient at sea was quite high, and this fishing boat was indeed a little crude.


    After a while, Meng Chuyuan could not help but ask, “Have you never thought of building a house nearby?”


    The uncle replied with a silly smile, “I’ve never thought about it. I’m already over 50 years old. Why would I build a house?”


    [You still have to build this house. Otherwise, you won’t even have a ce to stay in an emergency.]


    [Uncle is very down-to-earth.]


    [Wuwuwu, Sister Meng is asking all the questions I want to ask. She really is my bluetooth connected mouth.]


    [Maybe it’s because I’m old and can’t stand this. I don’t know why my sweat is flowing out of the corner of my eye.]


    [When I was young, my dream was to be a person who treated the sea as his home. When I raised my head, I could see the sky. When I opened my eyes, I saw the endless sea. It was very healing.]


    [I feel that Sister Meng wants to help Uncle Wuwuwu. She’s just waiting for his permission. Why won’t Uncle ept her help?]


    He felt that it was good to live on a ship. He could go out to sea to fish every day when he woke up and sell the fish to wholesalers. This cycle was quite fulfilling.


    Meng Chuyuan did not agree with his idea. She advised him carefully, “Uncle, I


    think it’s more stable for you to build a decent house nearby. This way, it’ll be easier to cook and you can sleep peacefully.”


    The uncle narrowed his eyes and remained silent. He didn’t say anything else.


    Meng Chuyuan thought about it carefully and felt that it was understandable that he was unwilling to build a house.


    After all, he had lived like this on the sea for more than ten years. It was a little difficult to ept that he was suddenly asked to live elsewhere.


    As Lu Jinsen was holding the camera, he did not enter the frame and did not even speak.


    Seeing that Meng Chuyuan’s persuasion had failed and the atmosphere had fallen into an awkward situation, Lu Jinsen suddenly looked at the uncle beside him and took the initiative to ask, “Uncle, why don’t you consider changing ships?”


    [F*ck!! Who’s talking? It’s a little scary.]


    [It’s Eldest Young Master’s voice, right? Hahaha. He’s filming. Perhaps it’s because he’s close to the equipment, so his voice is louder.]


    [But what Eldest Young Master said makes sense. If you’re unwilling to build a small house, it’s better to change ships. It’ll be safer.]


    [Although I really want tough, Young Master, are you working part-time as a cameraman? Hahaha]


    [That’s right, that’s right. Let’s change boats, Uncle. I feel that Young Master is a little amazing today.]


    Lu Jinsen was thinking that since he was unwilling to build a house onnd, he could change the boat.


    This wooden boat was really too old-fashioned now. When going out to sea, he still had to rely on wooden oars to row the boat. It was not as useful as an oil-burning engine.


    Meng Chuyuan’s gaze could not help but fall on Lu Jinsen. She did not expect him to say this.


    The uncle looked mncholic. He looked up at Lu Jinsen and sighed.


    This ship had followed him for many years. How could he change it just like that? Moreover, the prices of goods are so expensive now. It was not easy to buy a ship, and with conditions like his, it was even more difficult.


    Seeing the helplessness in the uncle’s eyes, Lu Jinsen seemed to be able to guess what he was worried about.


    After a while, he saw that the uncle was still silent, so he said again, “Let’s change ships. I’ll pay the fee..”
