Considering that Feng Ji had stayed up all night and needed to rest, Fu Wan and Fu Ming sat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
That noon, the entire cultural relics restoration institute was filled with the aroma of cuttlefish and pork rib soup, which woke up the experts who had been staying up all night to catch up on sleep.
Xu Baoguo smelled the odor from inside the house and was secretly pleased that Feng Ji, that old rascal, really had some sense.
He had embarrassed the younger generation in front of them earlier, and now that the younger generation had left, he couldn't wait to make amends with food.
Hehe, Xu Baoguo must be more reserved later and make this old bastard beg him to eat!
However, Xu Baoguo's illusions were completely shattered when he arrived at the canteen.
The scene of Feng Ji welcoming him with a large cuttlefish was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a noisy cafeteria where everyone was scrambling to get their turn, afraid that there would be no cuttlefish soup left!
As the donor of cuttlefish, Feng Ji naturally received a large bowl of cuttlefish soup specially prepared by the canteen. In addition, he also brought out two pieces of preserved rabbit meat that Fu Wan had brought.
The cafeteria's cooking is excellent; they added some potato chunks and spices, making the stew very flavorful.
Feng Ji wasn't actually a particularly gluttonous person, but he had spent over a decade in Longhai City, so it would be a lie to say he didn't miss it after returning to Beijing.
As Feng Ji ate the food from Longhai City, he felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to that small pawnshop.
After taking another sip of the cuttlefish soup, he could even smell the sea breeze from the beach in Fujia Village.
However, while some people ate and drank their fill, others queued until the very end only to find themselves left with a bowl of soup without any squid.
Comrade Xu Baoguo was furious about the result, but thinking that Feng Ji must still have a lot of seafood left in that snakeskin bag, he secretly decided that he must build a good relationship with Feng Ji.
That way, I can openly and legitimately freeload!
After returning from the cultural relics restoration institute, Fu Wan met up with Fang Min and Ye Lin and began a shopping spree.
All the local specialties they brought have been given away. Now, it's their turn to buy local specialties from Beijing to take back to Longhai City!
We need to buy roast duck, since Village Chief Fu and Ye Jianguo love it. We also need to order some from Daoxiangcun, as Ye Xiaocui's favorites are ox-tongue pastries and jujube blossom pastries.
There were also shrimp crisps and poria cocos sandwiches, which Fu Wan herself liked to eat.
Besides food, Fu Wan also bought several outfits at the Yansha Friendship Store. After shopping, everyone had bags and packages in their hands.
Even Jack and his two companions were not idle; each of them was holding two huge cardboard boxes.
Fu Wan found it a bit strange. She leaned closer to take a look and couldn't help but laugh when she saw what was inside through the transparent packaging.
It's a Barbie doll!
It's still two boxes of Barbie dolls in different colors.
"Wan, give this to your daughter, she'll definitely love it!"
Robert was full of confidence; in his mind, no little girl could resist the allure of Barbie.
He would comb her hair, braid it, and change her clothes whenever he had free time. That's how all his sisters played!
As for why there are two skin tones, Robert himself took the blonde and blue-eyed one, while Jack felt that the tanned skin tone was more suitable for Fu Wan's child.
Tom was the last to make a purchase. By then, Barbie dolls were no longer available on the shelves, so he decided to go all out and bought two boxes of realistic toy guns.
Once the trigger is pulled, the gun will not only flash red and blue lights, but also emit a loud wailing alarm.
Looking at these gifts, Fu Wan felt overwhelmed. For some reason, her first thought was that Fu Ling would definitely like the toy gun, while Qin Mingzhu would probably prefer Barbie dolls.
Not long after they returned home from buying local specialties, Qin Fu came to deliver their train tickets.
After being away for more than ten days, it's finally time to go home.
After saying goodbye to Qin Fu, the group boarded the train. Among them, Robert and Tom were the most excited.
Finally, they were finally going to Fu Wan's hometown!
God knows how long they've been waiting for this day!
The train clattered along, and with the added excitement and anticipation, even a day and a night on the train didn't feel so unbearable.
Before setting off, Fu Ming specifically paged Fu Liang, asking him to drive to the train station to pick him up.
When everyone got off the train, Fu Liang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was completely dumbfounded.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
How come four people went out but seven came back?
That's not the point. The point is that Fu Wan's Jeep can't fit everyone!
Fu Liang, Fu Ming, and the others looked at each other, until finally Fu Wan broke the silence.
"Brother, didn't you tell Brother Liang that we brought Jack and the others back?"
Fu Ming chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Um, I forgot."
"How about we squeeze in?"
He was discussing a fishing trip with Jack at the time, so he only told Fu Liang the train's arrival time and completely forgot about increasing the number of people.
Fu Wan was speechless and choked with emotion. It was impossible to squeeze in; Jack and the other two were all tall men, each 1.8 or 1.9 meters, and there was no way they could fit in the car.
Fu Wan was about to call to see if Fu Jian had returned when her eyes suddenly fell on the tractor not far away.
"Hey, a tractor would work too!"
Fu Wan put down her mobile phone, and Fu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly ran over to negotiate the price with the tractor drivers.
It wasn't dark yet; if it got any later, the price of tractors would go up.
There are several tractors at the entrance of the train station, which are mostly used by villagers or brigades from nearby areas to earn extra money.
This tractor looks a bit like a tricycle, with a cargo bed in the back where people can sit. Since there was a tractor, Fu Wan was too lazy to call Fu Jian over late at night.
"Ah Wan, it's settled. Five yuan to take us to Fujia Village!"
Fu Mingxing ran back excitedly, but after wandering around, he couldn't find any tractors from Fu Family Village, so he had to call for one from the neighboring Wang Family Village.
Grandpa Wang didn't recognize Fu Ming at first, after all, Fu Ming had been on the train for a day and a night and was covered in dust and dirt.
It was only after Fu Ming kept calling out "Uncle Wang" that Grandpa Wang recognized who this person was.
He happened to be taking villagers to the county town to catch a bus to work when he unexpectedly ran into Fu Wan and her group and made another profit.
He can earn two yuan out of five yuan.
That's enough to buy several kilograms of meat.
Now that the agreement had been reached, Ye Lin, Fu Ming, and Fang Min subconsciously started walking towards the tractor.
Jack and his two companions have come a long way, so they definitely need to be put in a comfortable jeep to get back.
However, no one expected that the three young men would stop in their tracks as soon as they saw the tractor coming.
Robert, in particular, jumped onto the tractor and refused to get off.
She kept shouting, "Wan, I want to sit here, this is fun!"
"Then I'll sit too!"
Seeing this, Tom climbed up as well, followed closely by Jack. Fu Wan had no choice but to let Fu Ming go with them.
It's not that the jeep can't fit everyone, but someone has to keep an eye on those three bastards and prevent them from jumping off the tractor while someone is driving it!
