Going out to sea is definitely not a problem; Boss Fu's heart is still at sea and hasn't returned.
With Fu Wan and the others away these past few days, he could only enjoy fishing and watching others unload their catch at the dock.
"Going out to sea, right? Good, good, I'll go tell Ah Liang and Ah Ming right away and get the fishing nets and bamboo tubes ready."
Speaking of this, Boss Fu thought of Ye Lin again.
"Awan, when you went to your uncle's house this time, did Dalinzi's side get alright?"
Ye Xiaocui finally came to her senses. She had been so focused on the wild boar meat that she had forgotten about the important matter!
Under the expectant gaze of her parents, Fu Wan recounted the events that had occurred in the Ye family, downplaying the seriousness of the situation.
After hearing this, Boss Fu frowned, and Ye Xiaocui sighed, "The whole family has fallen into such a mess. A-Jun is acting recklessly and has lost his mind!"
It's true that she wasn't thinking clearly, but fortunately nothing serious happened. Ye Xiaocui heard that the family had separated and the problem had been resolved, so she stopped asking about it.
Fu Laoda didn't bother to get involved in these matters. After all, it was someone else's family affair. Ye Lin was only helping out on the boat because of Fu Wan and the others' good relationship, plus Ye Lin was hardworking and capable.
However, the matter of dividing the family property is not something they should meddle in.
"Mom, we picked a lot of chestnuts on the mountain yesterday. I'll cook them and eat them later!"
"Chestnuts! I haven't had these in years!"
She rarely went to the mountains around Fujia Village and hadn't heard of any wild chestnuts there.
Ye Xiaocui looked at the huge wild boar leg with a troubled expression, "How are we supposed to eat such a big leg?"
Fu Wan thought for a moment, "Let's braise it. Wild boar meat soup is a bit too tough and tastes bad!"
Boss Fu agreed, "Then let's braise it. I'll chop it up!"
Chopping wild boar legs is hard work, so as soon as Fu Ming came back, he took a bag of chestnuts and went to find Fu Liang, since he was the only man at home now.
Ye Xiaocui had no objection, but just as she took out the wild boar meat, she discovered two cleaned rabbits underneath.
"Why are there rabbits here?"
Fu Wan was also helpless. "Yesterday I caught more than a dozen wild rabbits on the mountain. My uncle insisted that I take two with me. I said no, but he was afraid that we didn't want to raise them. So he simply packed two up early in the morning and forced them into the car."
"That's just how your uncle is. This rabbit is so fat that we can't finish it all in a short time even after cleaning the house. Let's cut it in half and send one half to A-Liang and Fu San's family!"
After Ye Xiaocui distributed the rabbits, she thought there was nothing else in the snakeskin bag, but then she pulled out an enamel mug.
"Why did you bring back the enamel mug too?"
This enamel mug was clearly the one Ye Lin bought when they got married. Before Fu Wan could answer, she lifted the lid, and a large bowl of honey appeared before her eyes, glistening with moisture.
"Oh my, where did this come from!"
When Boss Fu heard Ye Xiaocui's exclamation, he thought something had happened, so he put down the wild boar leg he was holding and came over.
"This is really good stuff!"
He recognized it immediately as wild honey from the mountains, a rare find that money can hardly buy anywhere else.
"You guys are so capable, you even dare to raid wild beehives?"
Fu Wan smiled mysteriously, "I didn't go and take it."
Fu asked curiously, "Even Ah Ming wouldn't have the guts. Did your brother Ah Lin take it?"
Fu Wan shook her head, and Ye Xiaocui became agitated, "Your uncle took it, why is he acting like a child?"
Fu Wan shook her head again and pointed to the wild boar on the kitchen cutting board.
"It dug it out."
"I told you your uncle wouldn't... What, it was taken by a wild boar?!"
Ye Xiaocui realized what was going on, and Boss Fu suddenly understood, "No wonder you caught a wild boar."
"That's right, we got a good deal. The wild boar and the honey both suffered losses."
Seeing that his daughter had had quite an exciting experience these past two days, Boss Fu was filled with envy. When would he be able to encounter something so thrilling!
Because the children had all returned, Mr. Fu's family had an exceptionally lavish lunch today.
Ye Xiaocui, unusually extravagant, steamed a large pot of white rice. The rabbit was a cold-cooked rabbit cooked by Fu Wan with a bunch of dried chili peppers, mixed with a bowl of fried peanuts. Fu Laoda got Ye Xiaocui's permission to eat it with some yellow wine, and it was incredibly delicious.
The wild boar leg was braised. One big leg was cooked in a whole big pot, which Fu Ming had brought back from Shen Dongsheng's house before. It was filled to the brim.
This was the leftover food after Ye Xiaocui filled two bowls with the leftovers and delivered them to Fu San and Fu Liang's houses when the food was ready.
Although I ate a lot of pork at Ye Jian's house yesterday, today's pig's trotters were made by Ye Xiaocui herself. They were tender, flavorful, and delicious.
Fu Ming kept picking up pieces of food, and Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but advise him, "Eat less, or you'll get an upset stomach."
Hearing this, Fu Ming's mouthful of meat lost its flavor. "It's all Mother's fault, this stewed meat is just too delicious."
Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but laugh, and Fu Wan rolled her eyes at him, thinking, "He's so good at talking."
After lunch, Fu Liang carried the fishing nets over. Before heading out to sea, Boss Fu wanted to lead them to check all the fishing nets to make sure they didn't break during fishing again.
If the fishing net breaks and the fish aren't pulled up, it's enough to make you regret it so much you have to get up in the middle of the night.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan took shuttles and fishing net mending thread and sewed up the torn fishing nets.
Fu Wan put away the cleaned sharkskin clothes she had washed earlier, then took out her bamboo arrows and began sharpening the arrowheads.
Unfortunately, stainless steel arrowheads are not available for sale here now. Although bamboo arrowheads are inexpensive, they have a very short lifespan and often break due to excessive force.
Therefore, Fu Wan always selects bamboo that is not easy to crack, and then fixes it with wire and nails. Because it is easy to break, she also prepares several extra bamboo arrows in case of emergency.
We were supposed to go out to sea, but after several sunny days, it suddenly started raining after dinner.
The rain came down hard, as if the sky had been torn open, and the pattering sound was so loud that even Boss Fu was a little annoyed.
"I don't know if we'll be able to go out to sea tomorrow."
With such heavy rain, he wouldn't dare take his family out to sea unless the weather cleared up.
Ye Xiaocui was lying on the bed, so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
"It's alright. If we can't go out to sea, we can go after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Anyway, our family is no longer in a situation where we can't even afford fifty yuan, so safety should be our top priority.
After thinking about it, Boss Fu realized that it was true; no matter how much he worried, the rain couldn't stop just because he wanted it to, so worrying was futile.
So he went back to bed, listened to the rain outside and his wife's breathing, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Who cares if we can go out to sea? Let's get some sleep first!
Perhaps the Fu family's desire to go to sea moved Mazu, for the sun rose as usual the next morning.
When Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui woke up in the morning, there was no trace of rain outside, and the sun was shining everywhere.
The couple exchanged a glance. Forget about making breakfast; they decided to take their buckets to the beach and try their luck!
