What fisherman can resist the temptation of a huge catch with overflowing nets and cages?
Ye Xiaocui couldn't believe it. A big harvest meant getting rich, and going to sea meant picking up money!
"Ah Wan, aren't you having any problems with yourself from always going into the water?"
Fu Wan didn't quite understand. "What impact?" She only regretted that she couldn't make the most of the big fish in the sea and couldn't catch them all on the boat.
Seeing that she was a mother and still so clueless, Ye Xiaocui asked impatiently, "Is your period regular? Does your stomach hurt?"
Spending too much time in the sea is unbearable for both men and women, not to mention women who have menstrual problems every month. If they catch a cold, they will suffer unbearable pain.
There are no painkillers for menstrual cramps at this time.
Fu Wan then realized, "I haven't had my period yet this month, and I'm wearing a mermaid outfit, so it's fine."
In fact, she hadn't had her period for several months, and it hadn't been regular since she gave birth.
Ye Xiaocui looked worried, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Awan, have you ever thought about finding someone else?"
They will eventually leave this world, and they are worried that their daughter will be left without anyone to take care of her.
"Mom, I don't have that thought now. Besides, when I gave birth to Lingling, the doctor said that I had damaged my body and couldn't have any more children."
To avoid worrying her family, she hadn't mentioned this before, but now she knew that Ye Xiaocui genuinely cared about her.
Ye Xiaocui's mouth was half open. After the initial shock, grief welled up inside her. "My poor daughter, this damned Shen family!"
Fu Wanque disagreed.
“Mom, I’m doing fine at home. I can eat and sleep whenever I want. I can use the money I earn myself. At the Shen family, I’m treated like a slave, and Lingling gets nothing but wild vegetables and minced meat.”
"What a tragedy!" Ye Xiaocui was furious when she heard this, and she kept cursing the Shen family.
Fortunately, Shen Lingling had just run into the house, so she didn't hear the conversation.
Don't underestimate children just because they don't understand; they actually know a lot.
Fu Wan cooked lunch. She cleaned up the octopus from yesterday, picked some green and red peppers from the backyard, stir-fried them with ginger and garlic, and added some of Fu Laoda's Shaoxing wine to enhance the flavor.
The smell wafted out the window, and even Chen Lingling, who was playing at the neighbor's house, ran home.
"Mom, what are you cooking?"
Shen Lingling can eat a little spicy food, and the aroma of such delicious dishes makes her mouth water.
Just then, the octopus was ready, and Fu Wan took a small bowl, put some in it, and handed it to her, saying, "Go and have your friend try it."
Shen Lingling took the bowl, blew a kiss to Fu Wan, and ran away with the bowl in her hand.
This child plays with the other kids in the village every day, and somehow he learned this skill.
I took a plate and put the rest of the octopus out; next up was to stir-fry the clams.
There were plenty of clams, so Fu Wan planned to stir-fry one bowl and then use the clam meat to make another bowl of clam omelet.
She also steamed a bowl of clams and eggs in a small stainless steel pot next to her. She'll drizzle some soy sauce on it later, and it'll be incredibly fragrant. It's a pity she didn't have sesame oil, otherwise it would be even better.
Stir-frying clams is similar to stir-frying octopus, but this is the first time Fu Wan has made pan-fried clams.
They don't eat it this way here; it's a snack she ate in another place in her previous life.
Blanch the clams and wash them clean. Then, remove the clam meat and mix it with a few eggs and flour until smooth.
Actually, the correct method should use tapioca flour, but the ingredients are really limited, and it's already quite difficult to use any flour at this point.
Once the egg mixture and flour were mixed well, Fu Wan added the clam meat, along with some salt and chopped green onions. She then heated oil in a pan and began frying.
But as she continued frying, she felt that it didn't quite resemble the clam omelet from her previous life; it had turned into a clam and egg pancake.
After the pancakes were made, Boss Fu and Fu Ming came back through the door, and Ye Xiaocui also came in carrying a hoe.
"Ah Wan, is dinner ready?"
Ye Xiaocui went to the field to weed for a while in the morning, but she didn't expect that Fu Wan would invite her to eat as soon as she returned.
Fu Ming went out with his father this morning and is now drinking water non-stop. His father is so stingy; he didn't even treat him to an ice pop after they went out.
The lunch was well received by the Fu family, and Chen Lingling kept hissing and smacking while picking at the octopus tentacles.
As for Ye Xiaocui, she preferred clam pancakes, which contained several eggs and were paired with fresh and delicious clam meat. Every bite was a delight.
Fu Ming and Boss Fu didn't have any particular favorites; they liked every single dish on the table and ate without even looking up.
Seeing how much her family enjoyed their meal, Fu Wan suggested that they go out to sea for a day trip that afternoon.
"I want to go to sea too!"
Fu Ming shouted anxiously before he had even swallowed what was in his mouth.
He's been cooped up at home recovering from his injury for a while now, and going beachcombing yesterday made him even more eager to go out to sea again.
Boss Fu had no objections, and Ye Xiaocui, having been tempted by Fu Wan that morning, remained silent as well.
Seeing that no one said they wouldn't go, Shen Lingling beamed with joy and blew a kiss to everyone at the table.
Old Master Fu was all smiles, but when he saw his granddaughter blowing him a kiss, his eyes crinkled into a wide grin.
“Our Lingling is quite fashionable.”
After lunch, the family lost all interest in taking a nap and headed to the dock with fishing nets, nets, and various tools.
Fu Wan hasn't been out to sea since Fu Qiang and the others replaced the diesel fuel in the boat's hull. A few days ago, when the incident came to light, Fu Lao Er ended up having to pay ten yuan in compensation.
Boss Fu and Fu Ming checked the fuel tank and found no problems. Villagers on the dock were shouting and greeting them.
"Doggy, let's go out to sea!"
Even Boss Fu didn't want to admit that he was being called, especially since Fu Ming was trying not to laugh.
"Dad, I'm calling you, why aren't you answering?"
Boss Fu glared at him and loudly replied, "I'm taking the kids out to sea for a bit!"
When Fu Wan passed by Aunt Jiang's house, she called out to Fu Liang, who happened to be running over with a fishing net.
He's a laborer, after all; we can't let him go.
Fu Liang, on the other hand, was overjoyed; he was practically going to rot if he didn't go to sea soon.
Once everyone was there, Boss Fu started the boat with the crank, while Chen Lingling stood at the stern, singing and dancing excitedly.
Just then, Wang Zhaodi came to rent out her boat to someone else, and she was displeased to see the Fu family so happy together.
"With so many people out to sea, be careful they don't all get swept away by a wave and end up in the ocean!"
Aunt Jiang was originally helping Fu Liang bring over the fishing net, but upon hearing this, she got so angry that she picked up a clod of dirt from the ground and shoved it into Wang Zhaodi's mouth.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up! No wonder your own son wants to sever ties with you!"
This morning, Fu Shi broke off his ties with Fu Lao Er's family by talking to the village chief. He then took a few pieces of clothing and rented a room from an elderly person in the village.
Everyone in the village knew about it, but no one tried to stop it.
After all, everyone saw the scene a few days ago where the rune stone was beaten to a bloody pulp.
Wang Zhaodi was in the wrong. Aunt Jiang was a very shrewish person, and Fu Liang was also on the boat. Her words of scolding could include him, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
He could only silently curse Master Fu, wishing him no return.
