Hearing the old man's words, Yao Ran observed him briefly. His clothes weren't too shabby, but he was noticeably thin and frail. Wearing the shirt, he looks like a kid wearing his father's clothes.
Seeing her assessing him, the old man smiled and explained, "I work at the harbor and came to see if I could find a side job."
After he said that, Yao Ran asked, "Is the work at the harbor good?"
The old man sighed and replied, "Just enough to keep me from starving to death."
As their conversation continued, Yao Ran grew more curious about this talkative old man. She pondered for a moment before asking again, "Uncle, what exactly do you do at the harbor? Are you part of a ship's crew?"
The old man thought for a moment before answering, "I work as a crew member on a fishing boat. We usually sail for ten to fifteen days before returning. Then we have two days off before heading out again. Today is my second day off, but I haven't been able to find any suitable side jobs."
