“10、9、8……”
The drunken fishermen roared wildly. They formed a circle. On both sides of the small wine table in the middle were smiling Qin Shiou and a big man with red face and thick neck.
“3、2、1——0!”
At the end of the count, Qin Shiou suddenly frowned, the muscles of his right arm erupted into volcanic energy, and pulled the opposite arm, which was twice thick, directly onto the table!
"Chet!" The handsome Leonardo, who has been trying to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, couldn't help scolding.
The people in the bar ran out noisily, and Cameron and others followed out. It soon became empty and people walked in the streets outside.
With the fireworks roaring into the sky, the New Year bell rang. Under the leadership of the priest, the people in the town sang the song of happy new year.
Canadians learn this from Americans, that is, they like to sing the song "Forever Friendship" when the new year is happy. There is a classic scene in the film Forrest Gump, that is, many people count down the new year in Times Square in New York. After the new year begins, they sing this song.
“Should-auld-acquaintance-be-forgot,and-never-brought-to-mind……”
Loud and clear singing sounded. Because everyone drank wine, the singing was uneven and out of tune, but the people in the town were still very happy when singing and could hear the joy of welcoming the new year.
Of course, they are not happy to usher in the new year, but because Qin Shiou has won the crew as usual. In the future, they can drink freely and someone will pay for them.
While singing, Jude stretched out his hand to Qin Shiou. After they shook hands, the song ended. He smiled happily and said, "Qin, thank you for your new year gift!"
Qin Shiou said, "I didn't give any gifts, did I?"
"No, we won't have to spend money on drinking for a long time. Thank you. For us, it's the best New Year gift - isn't it, guys?!"
He looked around and there was a roar of people in the town.
Cameron and Leonardo looked at each other. The former smoked at the corners of his mouth. Finally, he couldn't hold back and said discontentedly, "I have to say, didn't you have a quarter of fitness before making the film? Are all these muscles on your body grown by eating protein powder? "
Leonardo said wrongfully, "no, James, Qin is a monster! Falk, he's a monster! "
Cameron disdained and said, "you're still useless. If I'm young, I'll dump him in the morning!"
With the bell singing and watching the gorgeous fireworks show in the night sky, wine baoneir distributed paper and pen to everyone to write a new year's oath, that is, to announce what he is determined to do and achieve in the new year. When Qin Shiou used to be an HR, he also organized employees to do this every year.
Of course, different from their work, they all want to write down the work objectives completed this year, or their determination to buy a house, get a raise, buy a car and pick up girls. This is not the case in Canada. Their vows are usually not ambitious, but just some practical plans.
Qin Shiou read news reports last year and said that the first thing Canadians vowed to do in the new year is to lose weight and the second thing is to exercise more. He exercises every day and is not fat. Naturally, he doesn't need to write that.
After thinking about it, he wrote down his goal on the paper with a dignified expression and put it into a large plastic box on the top shelf of the bar counter.
Next, the fishermen have to open last year's oath box, and then find their own oath to confirm whether they have done it.
Qin Shiou didn't write last year, which had nothing to do with him, so he was ready to leave.
As a result, when he came to the parking space, he found a slim girl standing by the door. He didn't have to look carefully. Looking at her majestic mind, he knew that it was Sheryl.
"Thank you for your help tonight." Cheryl smiled and held out her hand.
Qin Shiou didn't shake hands with her, but chose to clap her hands, just like friends, comrades in arms and brothers: "what I should do, your queen belongs to our town, but you can't let these bastards outside take it away!"
Cheryl smiled. She insisted on holding Qin Shiou's hand, looked straight and said, "happy new year, Qin. I wish you all the best and a happy new year."
"The same blessing to you, Cheryl."
Cheryl smiled and let go. Then she waved to her car and finally said, "goodbye. It's fun tonight. I'm very happy."
Qin Shiou smiled and nodded. After Cheryl left the car, he also drove away from the bar.
When I opened the bar, a group of people were singing in the street at the gate. The winter night was lonely and cold. Qin Shiou looked out of the window. The sky was high and the sea was wide, and there were cold stars. At this time, he said goodbye to the world of the island, as if he had become a quiet and beautiful landscape painting.
On the first day of the new year, the island became vibrant again.
The fishing ground is even busier. The fishermen carry washing machines, dryers, all kinds of warm clothes and bedding on the ship. Everyone is wearing straight work clothes. Shack is commanding at the bow. The maiden voyage of the melon princess is about to begin.
Qin's father and mother looked worried. Qin Shiou comforted them and said, "it's all right, mom and dad. Don't worry. It's only one month to go to sea this time. I have to come back for the Spring Festival. It's very short. I went to sea for three or four months before."
Qin's mother looked at the melon reluctantly and said, "who's worried about you? I'm worried about my granddaughter. She's so young. You're going to the north pole, aren't you? How can this work? Children are not frost resistant. "
Qin's father nodded again and again. Seeing this, Qin Shiou was speechless and choked. He was really a good father and mother.
Winnie held the melon and said, "don't worry, mom and Dad, the child is one year old. She can adapt to the environment on the ship, and she should be allowed to adapt to such an environment. She can't stay in the room all the time and experience the wind and rain in order to grow better."
On the bow, shack shouted, "boss, everything is OK and ready to go!"
Qin Shiou nodded, looked at bird and said, "I'll leave everything to you. I'm not here. You're the person in charge here."
Bird gave him an American military salute and said calmly, "give it to me, boss. When you leave, you must still be like when you come back!"
The smoker and the bull also nodded. Qin Shiou smiled and said, "do well for me and come back to give me a bonus!"
"Yeah!" Cheers rang out.
Everyone got on board. With a loud whistle, the huge ship slowly started to march towards the vast North Atlantic.
