He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Niu Bayi said somewhat helplessly, "But according to tradition, women cannot go to sea."

Women are not allowed to go to sea; this is indeed a fishing family tradition.

Fishing at sea is usually done by men.

The women stayed at home to do chores, and at most went to the beach to dig for seashells and catch crabs.

At best, we'll put some fish traps in the shallow waters and see if we can catch any fish.

Going out to sea with a man? Don't even think about it.

There's an old saying: "A woman who goes to sea will work for nothing all day!"

Although it was feudal superstition, over time it became a belief.

He Zhenzhen pouted, having no other choice, and turned to walk away.

"Alright, alright, I won't go out to sea with you, lest you go out and catch nothing."

Looking at her retreating figure, Niu Bayi felt a pang of pity and finally spoke up.

"Stay! Come out to sea with me; you might be able to help out."

He Zhenzhen immediately stopped in her tracks, turned around, and asked excitedly, "Niu Bayi, you really want me to go out to sea with you?"

Niu Bayi said, "That's right. There's a saying that goes, 'Men and women working together makes the work easier! When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal!' If you come out to sea with me, we might catch even more fish."

He Zhenzhen was so excited she almost jumped up.

But I also have some worries.

"But the old folks say that if a woman goes out to sea, the men in the family won't catch any fish and will only catch seaweed. What if... what if I go out to sea with you and you don't catch any fish and even lose money on diesel fuel?"

Niu Bayi was very serious.

"Don't you even know who I am? I'm the Dragon King's godson! If the Dragon King sees me sailing with my godson's wife, he might just reward you with a big red envelope, making our ship bribe full today!"

He Zhenzhen excitedly jumped back to Niu Bayi's side.

"My goodness, you've got a silver tongue! Fine, I'll go to sea with you and see if my godfather will give me a big red envelope."

After a slight pause, she suddenly uttered something surprising.

"Niu Bayi, I love you to death!"

Then, he stood on tiptoe and gave Niu Bayi a big kiss on the mouth.

"Hurry up and eat, then we'll head out to sea!"

After the kiss, she urged Niu Ba to finish the chicken leg rice.

Next, Niu Bayi received a pleasant surprise.

Hey! You know what, He really can help him.

The new fishing boat is a little different from the one my father-in-law used to have.

The old fishing boats are seven or eight meters long, similar to speedboats.

Whether starting the motor or steering the boat, it can all be done next to the engine at the stern.

The new 12-meter fishing boat still has its motor at the stern, but there is a small cockpit near the bow.

This requires two people to work together.

One person starts the motor at the back, while another person adjusts the direction in the cockpit to make it easier for the fishing boat to go out to sea.

There were four or five meters between the two places.

Although with Niu Bayi's skills, he could start the engine at the stern and quickly run to the wheelhouse to start the boat and head out to sea.

But that would be much more difficult.

He Zhenzhen can also drive a boat.

Even if you only know the basic operation, it's enough.

Niu Bayi started the motor at the stern, while He Zhenzhen adjusted the rudder in the cockpit.

The fishing boat sailed out to sea smoothly.

After starting the engine, Niu Bayi walked to the cockpit.

Looking through the window at He Zhenzhen carefully operating the equipment inside, I felt a sense of satisfaction.

"My female captain, I knew it! Teamwork makes the dream work! When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal! I'm so glad I let you come with me on this voyage, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself."

"When did you learn to sail a boat?"

He Zhenzhen stuck her tongue out at him.

"When my dad first bought that old fishing boat, I was curious too. Although he forbade me from going out to sea to fish and was even reluctant to let me on the boat, I pestered my brother to teach me how to drive it."

"So even though I've never sailed out to sea, I've operated it before, and I never thought it would come in handy now."

"Bayi, from now on, let me go fishing with you at sea, okay? I'll be in charge of steering the boat, and you can do everything else. I'll do a good job as the female captain, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Looking at He Zhenzhen's beautiful face, which, although not particularly fair, had a healthy wheat-colored glow, Niu Bayi was completely captivated.

He nodded.

"Alright! So, as the female captain, what are you going to do for me?"

He Zhenzhen glanced at him curiously while carefully steering the boat.

"I'm the one who drives the boat for you, isn't that you showing me some appreciation? When did it become me showing you some appreciation?"

This girl is quite clever; she grasped the key point immediately.

Niu Bayi shamelessly...

"But if I don't let you drive the boat for me, you won't have this job, so shouldn't you thank me properly first?"

He Zhenzhen thought about it and realized that it was indeed true, so she had to nod.

Niu Bayi was overjoyed.

"So, you should at least show some appreciation."

He Zhenzhen snorted and rolled her eyes at him.

"My goodness, we're family now, why are you still arguing with me and insisting on giving something in return? It's really hurtful."

Niu Bayi said stubbornly, "I don't care, you have to show some appreciation."

He raised a finger and poked his face.

"Come on, give me a kiss here, as a proper gesture."

He Zhenzhen suddenly realized and chuckled.

"So that's what it means. Okay, okay, I'll grant your wish!"

She's fine with that; she just kissed Niu Bayi's big mouth on her own initiative.

As she spoke, she brought her cherry-like lips closer.

Snap!

He gave Niu Bayi a hard kiss on the left cheek.

Niu Bayi was half satisfied with the kiss, so he brought his right cheek closer.

"Give me another kiss here."

He Zhenzhen snorted.

"You're so insatiable! Your demands are insatiable!"

Wow, you're practically a cultured person now.

She still had to slap him on the right cheek.

Niu Bayi is getting bolder and bolder, pouting his big mouth again.

"I'd like you to kiss me here too."

He Zhenzhen held the rudder with one hand and raised the other hand to push Niu Bayi's forehead.

"Go away, get out of the way, don't disturb the captain while he's sailing!"

This almost pushed Niu Bayi into the sea.

This girl has a strong grip.

Niu Bayi had no choice but to ignore He Zhenzhen, walk to the bow of the boat, and lie down on the side of the boat.

Looking at the rolling sea ahead, he felt a sense of grandeur.

Suddenly, he raised his voice and roared fiercely.

"Ah, the ocean, you have so much water!"

"Ah, ocean, how many fish you have!"

"I, Niu Ba Yi, am back! I will become the overlord of the ocean and rule the entire sea!"

He stretched out one arm high and clenched his fist tightly.

It's like holding the entire ocean in your hands!

There are also a few fishing boats speeding by not far away.

After all, they had just left the dock and hadn't been pulled far away yet.

Hearing Niu Bayi's shout, they all turned to look.

Then, people started laughing and shouting.

"Niu Bayi, are you crazy?"

"Niu Bayi, you've gone mad!"

"Forget it, he's the Dragon King's godson, say whatever you want!"

……

He Zhenzhen, sitting in the cockpit, was laughing so hard she almost forgot how to steer the boat.

At this moment, Niu Bayi had a clear goal for this voyage!
