The straw hat farmer was taken aback, unable to react at first, and quickly pocketed the 250 yuan before calling to the boatman to get the boat ready. It was quite a large boat, with a deck big enough for seven or eight people to lie down on. The deck was already lined with straw mats where one could lie down directly.
Liu Xiaolei's mouth curved into a mischievous smile, and she said with a grin, "Xiao Han, this boat is quite big. It would be so comfortable to lie on the deck and sunbathe!"
Xiao Han stood on the deck while a boatman behind him laboriously used a bamboo pole to push off the dock, the large and cumbersome wooden boat moving slowly through the water.
The boatman stood at the rear of the cabin, his view limited to the area in front of the boat and unable to see the deck, but even without sight, there was no need to worry about any boating accidents on such a vast lake.
