Fu Wan had never really thought about what kind of person her future sister-in-law would be.
Since Fu Ming treats her and her daughter very well now, Fu Wan never hides anything from him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so generous in giving Fu Ming a courtyard when they went to Beijing before.
However, if Fu Ming's wife is just as demanding and difficult as his second cousin-in-law Liang Cuifen, then Fu Wan will have no choice but to distance herself from him.
Fu Wan couldn't do what Fu Ming wanted, so Qin Anning said she wanted to have a fake marriage with Fu Ming. Regardless of what the Fu couple's attitude was, she still hoped that the parties involved would think it through themselves.
After all, the two people are very different in terms of living environment and education. Even if it is a fake marriage, they will inevitably have some contact.
If things don't go well, we might not even be able to remain friends.
After calming down, Qin Anning also felt a little embarrassed. So when they arrived at Fu Wan's house, Fu Wan got out of the car and invited her in to see Qin Mingzhu, she shook her head and refused.
"Come again next time. You're right, I should really think about it."
"Wan, please keep my relationship with your brother a secret for now. If things really come to that, I'll ask him for his opinion myself."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement. "Then drive carefully. There's always a solution to everything. You're in too much of a hurry."
Qin Anning smiled at her upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand."
He then started the car and disappeared down the main road in the village.
Fu Wan watched her leave, still somewhat shocked. She hadn't expected her friend to have taken a liking to her brother.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe; it's like the cabbage you're raising outside suddenly taking a liking to the pig you're raising at home.
Just as she was still feeling sentimental, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
She turned her head and saw it was her own pig, Comrade Fuming.
She immediately said, somewhat annoyed, "Why are you taking pictures of me?"
Fu Ming noticed the displeasure in Fu Wan's tone and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who upset you again? I haven't even asked you yet, how did the salvage mission go today?"
"I didn't see you come back at noon either. I didn't eat until 1 p.m. Lingling and Mingzhu ate early, but your brother almost starved to death!"
Fu Wan was amused by his exaggerated description. Mainly because she didn't have a mobile phone or other communication device, she didn't expect to be invited to lunch at the camp by Sun Shao Ping.
"At noon, Leader Sun invited me to lunch at the canteen, and I couldn't possibly refuse. The salvage mission went very well; apart from the ship, all the boxes on the seabed were delivered to the camp."
Fu Ming nodded upon hearing this, then asked with some confusion, "So how did you get back?"
Fu Wan felt inexplicably guilty at the question: "An Ning brought me back."
"peaceful?"
Fu Ming's eyes lit up. He looked around for a long time, but couldn't find Qin Anning.
Seeing his dejected look, Fu Wan couldn't help but wonder, "Brother, you don't like An Ning too, do you?"
Caught off guard by the question, Fu Ming stammered, "What...what nonsense are you talking about!"
"No, you mean who else likes Comrade Qin?"
Fu Wan's mind raced, and she immediately found a scapegoat: "Comrade Xu from yesterday."
"Oh, him!" Fu Ming shrugged dismissively. "He's not good enough for Comrade Qin."
"With such a dark face, no manners, and poor looks, she's not worthy of Comrade Qin at all!"
Seeing his appearance, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Good heavens! She hadn't even noticed before that Fu Ming had developed feelings for Qin Anning without her noticing!
Judging from the way the maintenance is going on now, my brother is probably in deep trouble!
Since that's the case, Fu Wan came to terms with it.
Qin Anning's desire to have a fake marriage with Fu Ming might stem from a slight attraction to him; perhaps they even like each other.
Therefore, Fu Wan simply decided not to get involved in this matter.
Perhaps feeling a little awkward, Fu Ming quickly changed the subject.
“I rode my bike to the cannery today. Wang Jianmin and the others have improved the canned fish again. I think it looks pretty good, so I brought two bottles back for you to see.”
After saying that, he hurriedly took the canned food from the table in the main room and showed it to Fu Wan.
"Aluminum canned goods?"
This time, the packaging for the canned food has been changed from glass to aluminum, giving it a more modern feel.
They even included a pull ring design.
Fu Ming nodded and relayed Wang Jianmin's words to Fu Wan.
"Wang Jianmin said that this aluminum can was a foreign technology that Qian Zhiming heard about on the radio. He specifically looked up a lot of information and made the can box for this product."
"This type of box makes it easier for customers to pick out the fish meat inside, and it is also more conducive to the storage of large pieces of fish meat."
"However, Wang Jianmin said he didn't give up on the glass one either, thinking of modifying the bottle to make it into a chili sauce bottle, specifically for producing dried fish chili sauce."
Fu Wan listened carefully to Fu Ming's retelling, silently giving Wang Jianmin and Qian Zhiming a thumbs up in her heart.
With their efficiency, I really only need to invest money and don't have to worry about anything else.
Wait until the New Year—no, wait, as soon as these new products hit the market, we'll give them bonuses.
Speaking of going public, Fu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Did Wang Jianmin say when these things can start selling?"
Fu Ming stroked his chin. "He hasn't said that yet, but I heard him say that these things need to be sent to the health department for testing first. Once the certificate of conformity is issued, they should be ready for mass production."
Fu Wanke was relieved. "Then I'll go and take a look when I have some free time in the next couple of days."
She also needed to ask Wang Jianmin if he had spent all the money she had invested.
The brother and sister discussed it, and before long it was evening.
Fu Wan felt a little guilty for not having lunch with her family today and making them wait for her.
So she simply took care of dinner tonight, and since Fu Ming had nothing else to do, he stayed in the kitchen to help her.
Ye Xiaocui and Fu Laoda couldn't stay idle either, so they went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to weed.
"Mom, when are we going to school?"
Fu Honghong from next door had just come home from school, which made Fu Ling very envious, so she ran over to ask Fu Wan.
Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to see the camp after I'm done with my work in the next couple of days."
As for Qin Mingzhu's matter, she thought she would ask Sun Shaoping later to see if he could make an exception.
Fu Ling was overjoyed when she heard this and ran out to brag to Fu Honghong, "I'm going to school too! Sister Mingzhu is going too!"
Fu Wan shook her head and laughed, her hands continuing to slice the fish at an uninterrupted pace.
Tonight we finally managed to prepare that king wrasse. Fu Wan cut half of it into sashimi and then braised the other half.
There was also a bowl of boiled mantis shrimp with roe and steamed grouper.
Besides seafood, there were also some home-style dishes. At noon, Ye Xiaocui had cooked another rabbit, and there was half left, so Fu Wan used it to stir-fry the rabbit meat.
Of course, they also added some green vegetables. Simple and easy, the brother and sister made another table full of food without even realizing it.
