Qian Duoduo shouted loudly: "Let's all work hard together! Get ready... work hard!"
The boat turned slightly sideways under the influence of the crowbar, and then slid smoothly along the slide into the sea. There was a huge wave.
The boat bumped violently in the waves. For a moment, Lin Ziqi thought it would capsize, but soon it stabilized completely. Qian Duoduo rushed into the sea and pulled the tether on the bow to pull it. Drag it back.
Several girls scrambled to install the masts and sails. Ogura used Bermuda-style sails, which are common on small boats. They are light and flexible and can sail easily regardless of the wind or the wind.
"Raise the flag!"
Zhong Xiaoying hung a morning star flag on the flagpole at the stern of the ship. She took a step back, stood up straight, and without anyone paying attention, she sang in a low voice:
When the Senate accepts the destiny of God
from the blue sea
The beginning of the rise
…
Several young senators were slightly startled. This is the national anthem of the Senate, "Rule, Senate", because it is a plagiarism of "Rule, Britannia" from beginning to end, even though this song must be sung or played on all major occasions. Many senators do not take songs seriously in their hearts. Many people privately regard them as a product of the widespread bad taste within the Senate. The young elders were so impressed that they were not very interested in this song.
However, Zhong Xiaoying was at the bow of the boat at this time, singing this "national anthem" that was actually a bit difficult to pronounce with a solemn expression, which immediately suppressed the playful atmosphere.
A gust of sea breeze blew, the morning star flag fluttered, and several girls couldn't help but sing along:
The Senate is far more sacred than all the kings and princes in the world.
Need to surrender
surrender, surrender, surrender
The singing gradually became louder, and finally the whole group reached the highest key:
Rule the Senate
The empire rules over all waves, earth and sky
The people of the empire are determined to be the masters of the world!
After singing the song, Qian Duoduo waved his hand: "Raise the permission flag!"
At her command, a pennant was raised to the top of the mast, and Zhong Xiaoying put away the cable and was about to set sail. Suddenly Qian Xuanhuang, the maid of the Qian family, got out of the Feiyun and trotted over.
"Duoduo, wait a minute!"
She is small and thin. Holding a large rattan picnic basket in his hand, he staggered as he ran. Qian Duoduo had no choice but to ask the boat to stop first.
Qian Xuanhuang finally ran to the trestle and handed the rattan box to Qian Duoduo out of breath: "My wife prepared this for you. You will forget to eat as soon as you go to sea. She told you to eat on the ship." Eat. Also, you must come back before dark. Otherwise, she will spank you when she comes back tomorrow morning..."
"Okay, I understand." Qian Duoduo took the basket helplessly.
"My master has told me that you must carry a pistol!" Qian Xuanhuang took off a holster from his shoulder. Leave it to Qian Duoduo.
"Too ugly..." Qian Duoduo muttered.
This holster is not the cool American product brought by the Qian brothers, but a real Lingaoyi. A canvas strap and a gun holster made of concrete pulp were inserted into it, a 0.357-caliber S&W short-barreled revolver that came standard with the female senator.
"The master said——"
"Okay, I get it. If I don't take them with me, we'll have a mixed doubles fight." Qian Duoduo took the gun holster, "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"No...no more..." Qian Xuanhuang's anger hadn't come over yet, "There's still your sailor's hat."
"I almost forgot about this." Qian Duoduo's face, which was a little disappointed at the ugly appearance of the gun holster, suddenly became cheerful again, and he took the hat excitedly. On the head.
I mean, that's right. Because this hat was bought six years ago, it was a bit too big for Qian Duoduo to wear at that time, but now it can't fit on his head at all. Qian Duoduo couldn't bear to part with this very "stylish" hat, so she begged her mother to extend the hatband and put it on her head...
"Pull out the anchor! Set sail!" Qian Duoduo spread his legs and shouted majestically from the bow of the ship. Zhong Xiaoying released the cable. Sonia turned the sail lightly, and the sailboat took advantage of the wind and lightly slid out from the pier.
"Have a nice trip -" Qian Xuanhuang waved on the trestle, and Qian Duoduo also waved. Zhong Xiaoying asked: "Where are we going?"
"This is a trial voyage. Let's sail along the coastline around Lingaojiao. Just don't enter the port area." Qian Duoduo took out the navigation chartboard and pencil from the compartment and said loudly:
"Starboard, report the angle of the battery flagpole!"
"Starboard report! The angle of the fort flagpole is 170 degrees!" Zhong Xiaoying, who was an observer with a telescope, said loudly.
"wind direction?"
"Southeast wind, level 3 to level 4!" Sonia, who was controlling the sail, reported loudly.
Qian Duoduo marked the ship's position on the chart while planning a route based on wind direction and current: Actually, this is a bit fussy. For a course like this along a familiar coastline, you can usually rely on the captain's experience. But she has developed a habit of always practicing her sailing skills as her father said.
While the three were busy operating the sailboat, Lin Ziqi, who knew nothing about it, finally had the opportunity to ask her best friend about her family's personal affairs. But she hesitated to speak several times. After all, this was her private matter. I didn't know if it was appropriate to mention it so rashly. But Zhang Yunmi didn't seem thoughtful at all. The swimsuit on her body was not dry yet, so she was wearing a shirt. The sea breeze blew by, and the white clothes fluttered, giving her a fresh feeling of a literary girl...
Because of repeated attempts, she finally decided to speak. No matter what, she was Zhang Yunmi's best friend, the closest person in this time and space besides her father.
"Yunmi," she asked cautiously, "are you okay at home?"
"Yeah, not bad." She replied casually, looking at the dotted sail shadows on the sea.
"But I heard dad say..."
"What did you say?"
"Say that your family has been a little unhappy recently..."
"Oh, you mean **." Zhang Yunmi did not look away from the sea, "She is indeed a bit pretentious."
"Can this be called a bit pretentious?!" Ziqi was shocked when she heard her friend's calm reply. "Can what she did be called a rebellion?"
Zhang Yunmi was shocked by Ziqi's reaction, but she still said calmly: "She is also a person, not a plastic doll. She naturally has thoughts and emotions. It is inevitable to vent your emotions. Besides, haven't you said it before, life The secretary is also a human being, shouldn't he be an obedient slave with no ideas at all?"
Lin Ziqi was speechless for a moment. When she said this, she did not expect that there was a maid like **. It was just a fresh and refreshing Madonna mood attack. After all, what she saw and heard were all life secretaries who were grateful and dedicated to repaying the kindness of the elders - just like Meng Lan, even if there were some things that made her dissatisfied, at least they had good intentions and no malicious intentions. , it’s just clumsy at best.
"But -" Lin Ziqi argued, "She has selfish motives and ideas, which are all good. But she is serving your family! Now, just slacking off and showing off is called service? I heard from my father that she even beat you. Sister...what does this mean? Although your sister does not have a senior seat, she is still the second generation of the Yuan Dynasty. When will it be her turn to fight as a junior? "
Zhang Yunmi turned around: "Ziqi, I didn't expect that your feudal thoughts are quite heavy..."
"What?!" Lin Ziqi didn't understand for a moment.
"Aren't you just saying that she is a little wife and has no right to discipline the 'little master'?" Zhang Yunmi smiled, "She beats her child, and the child's father is not worried. What does it have to do with me?" She said His chest rose and fell sharply several times.
Lin Ziqi knew that her best friend's heart was not as "calm" as she showed, so she continued: "I don't care about feudal ideas. Speaking of things, she is a person who has been greatly favored by the Senate, and she treats the senators like this. , ungrateful! It’s just not right!" She then added, "Your father is in his forties, right? Now he has two children, and in the hands of a mother like her, can he educate them well? How will he be able to have children in the future?"
Zhang Yunmi's expression was a little complicated, and she sighed: "Ziqi, it's not easy for me to think about my father. I didn't do well before I traveled through time, but in the new time and space, that's actually the case. He is - ―" She sighed again and didn't speak for a while. Then she said again: "... He's just a useless person. He said he wanted to rectify the **: Wu De, I am a veteran myself, so I'm just a useless person." She will have to kneel down when the ear scratch is over; speaking of literature, I will go directly to the general office to find Director Xiao to report the situation, and then I can take her to a labor camp..."
"Yes, yes, even if you don't want to do it yourself, what does the office do for a living?" Lin Ziqi said eagerly, "This is their business to begin with!"
"Ziqi, you think too simplistically. Of course I can go to the general office. The problem is that if this happens, ** will definitely be arrested."
"Just take them, and find some life secretaries. Didn't the elders say last time that the students in the maid training class couldn't be separated, so they had to transfer to the College of Arts and Sciences?"
Zhang Yunmi shook his head: "The best person to treat a child is your own parents. It would be easy for me to treat her, but what about the child? What about the family? My father has been unhappy all his life. After a few days, A happy life. Now he has a somewhat decent life and status. I think he can live a peaceful and comfortable life for a few days..."
"You can make him live a comfortable life like this? Isn't that **** still doing it every day?"
"Haha, I know her thoughts. They are all done for me to see. I am a thorn in her side, a thorn in her flesh." Zhang Yunmi said lightly, "Can I not understand her little knowledge? Even if she watches romantic dramas, I will watch it. Got it." (To be continued.
