To cover up his embarrassment, Bai Qianzhou immediately put another piece of food on Qin Mingzhu's plate.
"This mutton should be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets old."
This explanation made sense, and Fu Wan didn't take it seriously at first, so she lowered her head and started eating.
But Qin Fu wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by. He clicked his tongue twice and said, "Sigh, some people, they blush even without drinking."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan instinctively reached out to touch her face, but then realized something was amiss and looked to the side.
Bai Qianzhou had been pretending to be calm, but after noticing her gaze, his ears turned bright red in an instant.
"Sigh, I should have brought my wife along. Everyone else has someone serving them food, but I'm all alone, so I have to do it myself!"
Qin Fu felt his previous words weren't passionate enough, so he added another sentence. Upon hearing this, Bai Qianzhou quickly grabbed a large chopstick and stuffed it into his bowl.
"Sixth Brother, you're eating well!"
If looks could kill, Qin Fu would probably be dead several times over by now.
Seeing this, Qin Mingzhu covered her mouth and chuckled. These uncles were all so funny; she couldn't keep up with the fun!
After lunch, Qin Fu escorted Fu Wan and the others back to the courtyard house before heading back.
Given how busy he is, it's already quite impressive that he could squeeze out a morning to host Fu Wan.
Master Ning still had many things to deal with, so Fu Wan could understand.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, I'll come pick you up again tomorrow to go to the auction."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Brother Qin."
Qin Fu waved his hand. Because he was worried about Qin Anning and the others having trouble getting around in the capital, he specially left his car behind and prepared to drive his brother's car back.
"Sixth Brother, I'll go with you later."
Bai Qianzhou didn't plan to stay long. He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already past two in the afternoon.
"Awan, Anning, I have to go too."
He has to go back to the hospital for a meeting at four o'clock. He came out today to get some fresh air because he has been in the hospital for a few days.
So Qin Fu drove back to Panjiayuan, which was a good opportunity to give him a ride.
"Okay, then we'll meet again in the village."
Fu Wan didn't try to stop him. Bai Qianzhou was going back to Longhai City anyway, so she figured they would see each other again soon.
After saying goodbye to Qin Fu and Bai Qianzhou, Fu Wan and the others went inside to rest for a while.
I got up too early this morning, and I don't have any plans for the afternoon, so I'll just take a break first.
"Ah Wan, An Ning, how about we go climb the Great Wall this afternoon?"
After resting, Fu Ming was fully recovered. The wounds on his face were barely noticeable unless you looked closely because of the ointment he had applied and several hours had passed.
"I can go to the Great Wall, but I need to go to the bank first."
"Ah Wan, when do you plan to go back?"
Qin Anning used her wedding leave for this trip. She pleaded with her boss and managed to get a week off.
The train journey between Longhai City and Beijing takes two days and two nights, so they can only stay in Beijing for a maximum of five days.
Moreover, after finishing their business in the capital, they also needed to return to Fu Family Village to discuss the wedding banquet for the two of them.
Fu Wan's brow twitched, and she immediately began to ponder.
She has to go to the auction tomorrow afternoon, and the land purchase process should be completed by tomorrow at the latest, so if everything goes smoothly, they can take the train home tomorrow night.
The trains between Beijing and Longhai City run the same way, only once a day.
"How about taking the train tomorrow?"
Fu Wan immediately decided, "If I haven't finished dealing with things here by tomorrow, you guys go back first, and I can go back the day after tomorrow without any problem."
Qin Anning couldn't possibly leave her alone in the capital. "Then let's buy train tickets for the day after tomorrow and go back together."
Fu Ming naturally had no objection. He was a fisherman, which in modern terms would be considered a freelancer.
The biggest advantage of freelancing is that you have complete control over your time.
Let alone a week, he could stay in the capital for a month without any problems. At most, Ye Xiaocui and the others would grumble at him a few times.
"Oh no, did we forget to call home?!"
Fu Ming exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing he needed to call home when Ye Xiaocui was mentioned.
Fu Wan was also taken aback, and she said, "Have I forgotten something?"
“There’s a post office next to the alley across the street, A-Wan, you can go there to make a call.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan quickly grabbed some change and pulled Qin Mingzhu outside.
"Ah Wan, you go first, I'll be right there."
Fu Wan responded. At that time, telephones were still a rarity, and ordinary households couldn't afford to install them. Public telephones on the streets hadn't been built yet.
Fortunately, it was the post office's working hours. When she made the call, Fu Wan was feeling uneasy. Before she left, Ye Xiaocui had reminded her to call back for a long time. How could she have forgotten!
Hello, who is this?
"Hello, is this Village Chief? This is Fu Wan."
The person who answered the phone was Village Chief Fu. Upon hearing Fu Wan's voice coming through the receiver, the old village chief instantly perked up.
Especially after learning that Fu Wan was now using a phone from the Beijing Post Office, he pressed the receiver close to his ear, as if he could feel the atmosphere of the capital city through it.
"Ah Wan, have you arrived in the capital yet? Your father has been so distracted these past two days while fishing, he's worried something might have happened to you."
"Wait here, I'll make an announcement and call your parents to answer the phone!"
Before Fu Wan could even agree, Old Village Chief Fu put the phone down and hurried to call Old Man Fu and his wife.
Why is this village chief so agitated?
Fu Wan was somewhat annoyed; she didn't know whether to hang up or not. She glanced behind her, thankfully no one else was waiting to use the phone, otherwise she would have truly felt guilty.
"Wan, Wan! Are you still there?!"
The village chief's voice came again.
"Yes, village chief, have my father and the others arrived yet?"
“I called them, Awan, before your parents arrive, tell me quickly, is the capital really the same as it is on the radio!”
Is Tiananmen Square the same as it is in the newspapers?
Fu Wan instantly understood why the old village chief hadn't hung up the phone earlier; he was waiting for this.
However, she could understand it, after all, the older generation of the village chief had an innate longing for the capital.
"Village Chief, the situation in Beijing is exactly the same as what's reported in the newspapers and on the radio, including Tiananmen Square."
This place is developing very well; you should come and see it for yourself sometime!
Village Chief Fu held the microphone and listened carefully, afraid of missing a single word.
He listened and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I heard you. Awan, you and Aming must abide by the rules of the capital. You can't disgrace our Fu Family Village!"
"Don't worry, Village Chief, we'll be back in a few days, and we'll bring you a delicious roast duck to try!"
Upon hearing this, the old village chief couldn't stop smiling.
"Uncle, that's enough, it's my turn now. I haven't heard my daughter's voice for days!"
Fu Laoda had been there for a while. He was drying small fish in the ancestral hall when he heard the announcement on the radio and ran to the village office without saying a word.
Ye Xiaocui is at home with Fu Ling, so it will probably take her a while to get here.
