It was not until daybreak that the fishing boat was escorted to the port.
"Old man, we have delivered your fishing boat, please check it," the escorting police officer said.
"Okay, thank you!" Hoopoe thanked him quickly.
"You're welcome."
The police officer politely said a few words before leaving.
Hoopoe and Dai Shuli reboarded the ship, fixed the cables, and briefly tidied up the cabin.
"Xiao Li, I'm going to see the master this morning to take a look. This engine keeps having problems and it's not safe to go to sea."
"If it doesn't work, let's just get a new engine. We'll try to install it today and go to sea tomorrow," said Hoopoe.
"OK, all right."
Dai Shuli knew very well that the few nets she dragged yesterday morning would not fetch much at all.
"Grandpa, should we go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to find Brother Qin?" Dai Shuli asked.
The hoopoe smiled bitterly and took out the hookah from behind.
"Xiao Li, didn't you find anything along the way?"
Dai Shuli said: "I can see that Brother Qin is different from us."
The hoopoe lit the hookah with a lighter and took a few puffs.
"In your age, how have you ever seen such polite police officers and officials?"
Dai Shuli was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
Although the police officers I met in the past would not use swear words casually, they would never be so polite and enthusiastic towards them.
This seems to be a reversal, even those who are officials are particularly easy to talk to.
Moreover, there is no official airs at all.
"Grandpa, you mean it's all because of Brother Qin?" Dai Shuli asked.
The hoopoe nodded.
"I feel that these people not only respect him, but also seem to be afraid of him. Xiaoli, your brother Qin is that kind of powerful man. We are just ordinary people and we can't reach such high places."
Here, he actually used the word powerful to describe Qin Fan.
If Qin Fan knew about it, he would definitely laugh or cry about it.
"Oh I see."
Dai Shuli seemed to understand a little bit, but she just felt so lost in her heart.
Although she didn't want to believe it, since grandpa said that, there must be some truth to it.
"Okay, don't think too much, he is from a different world than us."
"We are just trying to save him out of good intentions. Don't have unrealistic expectations, otherwise it will cause us trouble."
"Yeah!" Dai Shuli hummed obediently.
At this time, Hoopoe just wanted to stay away from Qin Fan, and he no longer dared to think about making Qin Fan pay for the soju.
Go to work in the morning.
Qin Fan arranged for Xiaowen to find a small apartment near the sea view villa.
The area does not need to be too large, the main thing is that the functions must be complete.
As long as the other party is willing to sell it, no matter how much it costs, it must be sold.
Afterwards, Qin Fan went to the mobile business hall near the hospital.
He re-registered his mobile phone number and bought the latest vivo70 mobile phone with a curved screen.
I thought that Dai Shuli’s mobile phone was still an old style.
He bought one more, and also bought an elderly mobile phone to package together.
After returning to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, he threw himself into intense work.
In my spare time, I visit my wife and children.
It was past noon, and Hoopoe and Dai Shuli still hadn't come.
Qin Fan in the office couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He had just reissued his mobile phone number and did not have Dai Shuli's contact number yet.
At this time, Xiaowen hurried in from outside.
"Sir, it's all done. There is a small apartment on the third floor near the villa, in the community next to the subway station, only 60 square meters."
"The functions are all complete. You only need to bring your bedding and clothes to move in, but the landlord has to pay the full amount in one go."
Qin Fan walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of warm water for Xiaowen, and handed it to him.
After Xiaowen took it, he raised his head and started drinking.
"Well, it's not big or small, have you bought it?" Qin Fan was also very happy.
"Of course I bought it. The location is very convenient and the floors are not high. It is very suitable for the elderly to live."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Qin Fan said: "Xiaowen, they haven't come yet. You have Dai Shuli's number. Please help me contact her."
"OK."
Xiaowen walked aside to make a phone call.
Without saying a few words, Xiaowen hung up the phone.
"Sir, Dai Shuli said they can't come over. They are asking a master to repair the fishing boat."
"He also said thank you for your kindness." Xiaowen said.
When Qin Fan heard this, he immediately frowned.
"It's broken. Grandpa Dai has to prepare to go to sea. Xiaowen, let's drive again."
"Okay." Xiaowen said.
Qin Fan found Su Yuanju, asked where Dai Sheng lived, and then went out and rushed over with Xiaowen.
Xiaowen drove a commercial vehicle and found the pier of the harbor according to the navigation. After asking a few people, he easily found the Hoopoe's fishing boat.
Sure enough, Hoopoe and the maintenance man were hoisting the old engine.
The old engine on the fishing boat is so old that it has experienced several strikes.
The hoopoe is ready to be dismantled and replaced with a new one.
"Qin...Brother Qin..." Dai Shuli, standing on the deck, murmured.
She saw Qin Fan and Xiao Wen approaching.
"Grandpa, Brother Qin is here." Dai Shuli said.
"Ah, why is Xiaofan here? Didn't you already tell him that we can't go?"
Hoopoe raised his head and saw Qin Fan.
"Yes, I said that." Dai Shuli said.
"Xiao Li!" Qin Fan waved to Dai Shuli.
The two passed through several fishing boats and jumped onto Hoopoe's fishing boat.
"Grandpa Dai, Xiaoli."
"Xiaofan, why are you here?" Hoopoe said.
"Grandpa Dai, didn't we agree that you would come to the hospital to find me?" Qin Fan said, "I didn't feel relieved if I didn't see you coming."
The hoopoe sighed.
"Xiaofan, we appreciate your kindness. You have many things to do, so don't worry about us. We can't bear it."
In fact, this reaction of the Hoopoe exists in many ordinary people.
Because they consider themselves to be little people and have an inferiority complex of little people.
Most of them believe that it is best to have less contact with rich and powerful people.
But there are also some people who are extremely flattering.
If the hoopoe was flattering, maybe Qin Fan would give him some money and the grudge would be settled.
But Hoopoe and Dai Shuli are not that kind of people. Although they have the inferiority complex of little people, they are also the kindest ordinary people.
Qin Fan naturally knew what Hoopoe was worried about, and he was both angry and funny.
"Grandpa Dai, don't you think about Xiaoli? You have been worried about what will happen to Xiaoli if you leave. Do you want her to fish for a living all her life?"
"This...this...Xiaofan, but we really can't reach it, and we don't feel at ease." Hoopoe said.
Qin Fan smiled slightly.
"Grandpa Dai, Xiaoli is my little sister. I told you that I would take care of her like an elder brother. Have you forgotten?"
"Xiao Fan...but..."
Qin Fan showed a gentle smile to Dai Shuli.
"Xiaoli, do you still recognize Brother Qin?"
Dai Shuli had a good impression of Qin Fan. She nodded, "I definitely agree."
"That's right. Listen to Brother Qin and don't go to sea with grandpa. I will help you find a job in the hospital. You can study while working."
"You just have to work harder. Once you successfully obtain your diploma and meet the recruitment requirements, you can officially enter the nursing industry." Qin Fan said.
"ah…"
Dai Shuli was so surprised by Qin Fan's arrangement that she covered her mouth and her eyes were wet with emotion.
After she dropped out of school, she never thought she could continue to work in nursing.
