The camp had anticipated that Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou would stay in Los Angeles.
The existence of China's imperial seal in Florida waters is something more than just Smith knows. If the two of them head straight to Florida as soon as they leave the country, wouldn't that be like protesting too much?
I'll stop in Los Angeles first to visit relatives and mislead people in America, and then go to Florida a few days later.
Of course, Fu Wan had also considered that if she could go to Florida with a few locals, the effect of deception would be even better.
Jack was unaware of Fu Wan's plans. Ever since he picked her up yesterday, he had been in a state of excitement.
If Fu Wan hadn't known him, she would have suspected that this guy was addicted to drugs.
"Wan, I've prepared everything for our trip!"
After saying that, Jack took out a stack of rectangular cards from his bag. Bai Qianzhou picked one up and was surprised after reading the contents.
"Do you need a fishing license to fish in Los Angeles?"
Jack understood what he meant and a look of disdain appeared on his face.
Dude, didn't you know?
Bai Qianzhou shook his head honestly. To be honest, if it weren't for the chance encounter with Fu Wan's family, he would never have imagined that he would have such a deep connection with the sea.
Fu Wan also picked up a card and looked at it over and over. She could understand the simple words and some numbers, but there were also quite a few unfamiliar characters.
Is it expensive to get a fishing license?
"Yes, it's expensive. A fishing license costs $10, so I got two."
A fishing license alone isn't enough; you also need a marine license. It costs $3 per license.
Jack frowned and explained, and Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou understood. According to this calculation, each person would have to pay 13 dollars for the document fee.
"Wait a minute, you're processing two documents, but there are three people here?"
Fu Wan was puzzled. Jack chuckled and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his chocolate-colored skin.
"I bought a one-year fishing license."
Fu Wan suddenly realized that this was how this guy got his dark, tanned skin.
One has to admit that the sun in the US is quite harsh; the young man who was fair-skinned just six months ago has become so dark-skinned.
After reading the contents of the card, Bai Qianzhou turned to translate it for Fu Wan.
In the United States, fishing licenses are priced according to time: $5 for one day, $10 for two days, and $50 for a year.
You can't fish without a fishing license. If you encounter a serious police officer, they have every right to send the offender to jail.
Ocean licenses are relatively cheaper, so because they're cheap, you have to buy one every time. Of course, if you don't encounter any police checks, sometimes it's okay not to buy one.
However, Jack had obviously been through this several times before, and he was well-prepared. After understanding, Fu Wan turned around, took out fifty dollars from her bag, and handed it to Jack.
"Wan, will you give me money?"
Fu Wan nodded, "Yes, consider it the fee you paid for helping us get the certificates."
Jack grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth that Fu Wan couldn't bear to look at.
"No, no, I have money."
The arrogant Jack is a thing of the past; the current Jack is just a warm-hearted younger brother.
Fu Wan shoved the money back into her hands without giving her a chance to refuse. "Alright, let's hurry up and go, or we'll waste it again today."
Fishing trips at sea are so expensive, they have to set off early to earn back their money!
Jack readily agreed, and the three of them quickly packed their things, checked out of the hotel, and drove to Fu Fengying's villa.
Perhaps because she still considers herself a fisherman at heart, Fu Fengying built her retirement villa near a sea area in Los Angeles.
Besides Fu Fengying, there were also her son and daughter-in-law, as well as a maid, in the villa.
Less than a kilometer from the villa is a beautiful white sand beach.
Whenever Fu Fengying misses her hometown, she goes to the beach alone to feel the sea breeze, trying to sense the atmosphere of her hometown through the salty taste of the sea.
Fu Wan wore a brightly colored shirt today. The temperature in Los Angeles was the same as the autumn temperature in Fu Village, and the wind outside the car window made her feel particularly cool.
Jack boasted about all the sea fish he had caught recently, and Bai Qianzhou's attitude softened a bit after learning that he was also Fu Wan's cousin.
Of course, it's only a small part.
The two exchanged several banter in Chinese and English along the way, which made Fu Wan shake her head.
After a long two-hour drive, Fu Wan saw the car stop in front of a white and red villa.
Fu Fengying had known the news for a long time and was sitting in the courtyard waiting.
Hearing the car, she didn't even have time to put down the puppy in her arms before hurrying towards the door.
"Ah Wan, Ah Wan?"
"aunt!"
Fu Wan grabbed Fu Fengying's hand and, seeing that Fu Fengying's face had become noticeably thinner, Fu Wan couldn't help but hug her again.
"Auntie, you've lost so much weight. Have you not been eating properly?"
Fu Fengying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face full of smiles.
"No way, I've been eating a lot every day. Oh my, when Jack first told me you were coming, I thought he was kidding me, but it turns out it's true!"
Fu Fengying was so happy that she kept patting Fu Wan's hand, and her little Labrador kept circling around their legs.
"Aunt, come in!"
Jack and Bai Qianzhou took their luggage out of the trunk, and only then did Fu Fengying notice that there was a strange man there.
"Who is this...?"
“Oh, Auntie, this is a friend of mine. His surname is Bai, and he is a doctor.”
Bai Qianzhou quickly freed one hand and said, "Hello, Auntie... my name is Bai Qianzhou."
"What 'auntie'? You should call me 'auntie' like Awan does!"
Fu Fengying smiled and patted the back of his hand. She held Bai Qianzhou's hand in one hand and Fu Wan's hand in the other. Looking around, she felt even happier.
"Come on, all of you, come inside. I've prepared quite a few things for you!"
Seeing that Fu Wan was about to follow Fu Fengying into the house, Jack became anxious.
"Auntie, you guys make lunch first, Wan and I are going fishing!"
Fu Fengying rolled her eyes at him. It was already eleven o'clock, why was he still fishing!
"Eat your meal first, now go help me in the kitchen!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but complain to Fu Wan, "You don't know this kid. Ever since we came back, he runs to the beach whenever he has time."
Look at that outfit, he looks like a Black person now.
"The key is that even if I could catch fish, that would be fine. After months of trying, I haven't been able to eat fish much!"
The old lady's rant amused Fu Wan.
Jack is a terrible angler but a huge fan of fishing. She really didn't expect that her experience in Fu Family Village would make Jack fall in love with sea fishing.
"It's alright, Auntie. The weather's nice today. After lunch, I'll go out with them, and I'll make sure you get fish soup tonight!"
"Really? I'll be waiting! It would be even better if there were conch shells. I also want to eat the garlic kind you made last time!"
