After hearing what Bai Qianzhou had to say, Fu Wan couldn't help but sigh, "What a coincidence!"
Fu Ling, who was listening from the side, was completely confused, but Qin Mingzhu understood. She opened her mouth, but after a long while, she managed to utter, "Cousin... Uncle!"
This startled Bai Qianzhou. He had heard Fu Wan say before that the child couldn't speak, so why did he suddenly start talking?
Fu Wan then realized that she hadn't told him about Qin Mingzhu's recovery, and coincidentally, Bai Qianzhou was also a doctor.
"Comrade Bai, you can take a look at Mingzhu. She suddenly regained her ability to speak yesterday."
Bai Qianzhou had no tools at hand, so he could only use a spoon to press down on Qin Mingzhu's tongue and take a quick look, but he didn't find anything wrong.
"It should be the same as what the doctor at the hospital said before. Her inability to speak before might have been a psychological problem. Now that she can speak, it should also mean that her psychological problem has improved."
Fu Wan nodded to indicate that she understood, and then took some cookies from the table for Qin Mingzhu and Fu Ling to share.
Fu Ling was a clever little devil; she grabbed the biscuits and ran outside with Qin Mingzhu.
"Where are you going? Lunch is almost ready!"
Ye Xiaocui couldn't stop her, and Fu Ling, without turning her head, grabbed Qin Mingzhu and ran while shouting, "Okay, we'll be back in a bit!"
Just then, Fu Ming and Boss Fu returned.
Construction has already started on the homestead site, and Boss Fu went over to keep an eye on it after breakfast.
Originally, the construction of the house was supposed to include meals, but Fu Laoda couldn't bear to see Ye Xiaocui and the others working so hard. In addition, his family had to go out to sea from time to time, so he simply discussed with the villagers who were working on the project that they would be paid five yuan a day without meals. The villagers had no objections and worked with great enthusiasm.
Village Chief Fu and Grandpa Fu would also go over to keep an eye on things from time to time, just in case something went wrong while Boss Fu was out at sea building the house.
"Hey, Little White's here!"
Fu Ming was puzzled when he saw the bicycle in the yard, but the next second he saw Bai Qianzhou standing up in the house.
Bai Qianzhou greeted Boss Fu, and Fu Ming immediately noticed the Moutai on the table.
"Oh my, why are you giving me Moutai as a gift?!"
After saying that, he winked at Bai Qianzhou. Fu Wan knew from Fu Ming's expression that he was thinking about something else, so she quickly explained Bai Qianzhou's purpose.
When Fu Ming heard that Bai Qianzhou was actually related to Comrade Qin who had come yesterday, he couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly stood up and gestured for Bai Qianzhou to walk outside.
Bai Qianzhou was confused, but could only follow.
"It's almost time to eat, why are they all running out one by one!"
Ye Xiaocui was somewhat dissatisfied, Fu Wan was also puzzled, but Boss Fu didn't seem to care.
"Why bother with the young people! If there's anything in the kitchen that needs help, I'll take care of it!"
Bai Qianzhou was pulled into a small alley by Fu Ming. Seeing that no one was around, Fu Ming asked somewhat anxiously, "Xiao Bai, are you really related to that Comrade Qin Anning?"
Bai Qianzhou nodded in confusion, "That's right!"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the puzzled look in his brother's eyes, Fu Ming's tanned face turned a little red.
"Um... does Comrade Qin Anning have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
Bai Qianzhou suddenly realized that Fu Ming's love star was about to rise!
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be."
"My cousin just got back to China and she's been busy looking for Mingzhu. This morning I heard her say that her boss wanted to introduce her to someone..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming became anxious.
Then he became somewhat discouraged, "Forget it, the gap between us is too big."
Bai Qianzhou didn't think so. His cousin married someone not much different from him, but in the end, she died of depression.
However, he couldn't say much about Qin Anning's matter and could only tell Fu Ming to keep trying.
After all, he hasn't caught up with him yet!
After lunch, Fu San came over happily.
When Boss Fu saw his appearance, he knew that he had made a big profit again.
Sure enough, as soon as the registration slip was taken out, not only was Fu San beaming with joy, but even Fu Laoda, Fu Wan, and the others were overjoyed.
This time I really made a lot of money: 70 catties of red snails, at 3 mao per catty, for a total of 21 yuan; 3 catties and 8 liang of grouper, at 5 yuan per catty, for a total of 19 yuan; 320 catties of six-banded trevally, at 1 yuan per catty, for a total of 320 yuan; and 232 catties of orchid crab, at 5 mao per catty, for a total of 116 yuan.
The stingray weighed 28 jin, at 1.5 yuan per jin, totaling 42 yuan; the cannonball fish weighed 43 jin, at 1.2 yuan per jin, totaling 51.6 yuan; the sardines weighed 237 jin, at 0.2 yuan per jin, totaling 47.4 yuan.
The grouper weighed 18 catties, at 2.3 yuan per catty, totaling 41.4 yuan; the pufferfish weighed 220 catties, at 1 yuan per catty, totaling 220 yuan; the octopus weighed 72 catties, at 0.7 yuan per catty, totaling 50.4 yuan.
Adding the two thousand dollars for the bluefin tuna, Boss Fu voluntarily gave Fu San one hundred dollars as a tip for his hard work. The remaining one thousand nine hundred dollars, plus the money for the fish, totaled two thousand two hundred dollars and eighty cents!
Fu San rounded it up and transferred 2,830 yuan to Fu Laoda's bank account.
Yes, they don't pay in cash anymore. After all, keeping so much cash at home would attract unwanted attention. So, Boss Fu simply had Fu San transfer the money directly through the bank, and then he would go to the bank every month to withdraw the money and distribute it to Fu Liang, Ye Lin, and the others.
Everyone agreed with the decision. They were quite far from the town, and keeping their money in the bank was much safer than keeping it at home.
"Ah Wan, I have an order here, do you want to take it?"
Fu San carefully collected all the accounting slips, then suddenly dropped a bombshell.
The familiar smell is back! Is it because we caught something and another order has arrived?
"What order?"
Boss Fu spoke first, his hands itching to get his hands on Fu San's mysterious look.
Fu San instantly grasped the danger hidden in his elder brother's words and immediately spilled the beans.
"The Mr. Liu who came to buy tuna early this morning, his brother has a new seafood restaurant opening in the city, and Mr. Liu wanted a moonfish as a gift for the opening."
But moonfish are deep-sea fish; you can't usually see them during fishing operations. That's when I thought of Awan; maybe she can help.
Fu San is not stupid. He witnessed Fu Wan's skill in catching the little green dragon last time, and he knows that there are probably few people in the whole city who can match his niece's underwater skills.
Upon hearing that they were going to the deep sea, Ye Xiaocui immediately disagreed.
"Where in the deep sea can we go? No way! We won't take this order!"
Fu Wan did not disagree. She had been to the deep sea before, but she had never dived to the very bottom.
However, she was willing to give it a try.
She hadn't gone fishing in the sea for a long time, and Fu San's words stirred up her longing for the ocean.
Especially being able to swim like a fish in the deep sea, occasionally spotting a good fish and catching it—just thinking about that feeling is exhilarating.
"Third Uncle, I'll take this order."
