Seeing Fu Ming's bewildered expression, Fu Wan sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"Brother, what's wrong with your memory? Have you forgotten the last time we went to Shanghai, so many comrades surrounded you listening to you talk about fishing? You didn't actually think they were only interested in your bragging, did you?"
"Where did I brag?" Fu Ming protested, but Fu Wan shook her head. "That's not important. What's important is that those comrades definitely want to come and go fishing at sea someday."
Many comrades from inland areas dream of visiting the seaside!
"Damn, now that you mention it, I suddenly remember. It seems like a few people asked for our contact information back then, saying they wanted to come over and visit. We haven't received any calls lately, so I completely forgot about it!"
Fu Ming slapped the steering wheel in regret. Several months had passed since his last trip to Shanghai, and he had completely forgotten about it.
Mentioning Shanghai, Fu Wan immediately remembered that Qin Fu was still working on the development plans for those areas in Shanghai. She wanted to ask him about it, but unfortunately, she didn't have her mobile phone with her at the moment, so she could only think of calling him again tomorrow.
This trip to Hong Kong alone earned her tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars from fishing, not including the additional compensation He Guohua gave her. So, at least in the early stages of developing several plots of land, she should have enough funds.
As the car was about to arrive at the camp, Fu Ming glanced at the distant sea and casually mentioned something he had been thinking about these past few days.
"Ah Wan, we haven't gone to collect bird's nests yet this year. We went last winter too. Shall we go again this year?"
"Let's not go. Let it rest for another two years. We picked a lot last year. If we pick too much, the swallows will all fly away."
Fu Wan answered without thinking, "But the weather seems alright these past two days. It's the weekend, brother, how about we all go out to sea for a trip?"
“Sure,” Fu Ming perked up at the suggestion. “I haven’t been able to collect any dried fish these past few days. My mother was just complaining the other day that she didn’t have much of a catch from beachcombing. Once we get to the island, she’ll definitely have a blast.”
As the brother and sister were talking, the camp gate was already more than ten meters away.
A sentry had already spotted the approaching vehicle and walked over warily.
Upon seeing this, Fu Wan and Fu Ming quickly stopped the car, opened the door and got out. When they saw it was Fu Wan, the sentry's expression softened, and he raised his hand to greet her.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Fu!"
"Hello, comrade!"
Fu Wan returned his greeting. She was surprised that the sentry here still recognized her after so long.
Fu Ling and the others hadn't finished school yet, so Fu Ming took the opportunity to leave the things for Qin Anning at the guard post and then wrote his name on the visitor list.
Since the last report, the camp's access control has become stricter. Fu Ming is generally unable to enter, and can only wait at the gate to pick up people.
The same applies to delivering things; they can only be left at the door. Qin Anning is quite busy, so comrades will deliver these things to her residence.
After waiting for a while, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu appeared in Fu Wan's sight, skipping and hopping. When they saw Fu Wan's figure in the distance, the two children were stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards Fu Wan like arrows released from a bow.
"Mother!"
"Godmother!"
"Why!"
Fu Wan carried one child in each arm, while Fu Ling clung to Fu Wan's arm affectionately.
"Mom, when did you get back? Did you miss us while you were away?"
Fu Wan touched her disheveled hair.
"I came back this morning. I missed you all so much. Have you been good at home?"
Fu Ling's eyes darted around, and her little head bobbed like a chick pecking at rice.
"Listen, listen! If you don't believe me, ask Sister Mingzhu. We not only listen to others, but we also help Grandma and Grandpa dry fish!"
Qin Mingzhu quickly chimed in, "Lingling is right, we might be able to do it now. Godmother, you won't be going out again this time you're back, right?"
Her eyes were full of expectation, which melted Fu Wanxin's heart.
"We won't be going out for now. You don't have to go to school for the next couple of days. I'm planning to take you out to sea tomorrow. How about it? Are you excited?"
The two children looked at each other and immediately cheered.
"I'm so happy! This is amazing! Our sisterhood is going out to sea again!"
"This time, I'm going to use my little fishing rod to go fishing!"
"I need to collect some more seashells; my wind chime is still missing a few!"
Fu Wan watched the children cheering and jumping for joy, and couldn't help but smile as well.
Isn't this the moment she went out to work hard and earn money for?
"Let's go home!"
When they got home, Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu had already returned from the fields and prepared dinner. Perhaps because Fu Wan was back, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu had particularly good appetites and ate two large bowls of rice that night.
When they got back to their lodgings, Fu Wan took out the clothes and jewelry she had bought for them, and the two children were so happy that they ran around the house.
Being a girl, no one dislikes cute dresses and sparkly jewelry.
After they finished admiring the jewelry, Fu Wan helped them put it away. As for the little dress, the two children simply placed it next to their pillows, planning to wear it the next day.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Fu Wan picked up her fishing rod and net and prepared to go to the dock to go out to sea. However, she had only taken a few steps when she met an unexpected old friend on the main road.
"Su Ran?!"
What brings you here?
Su Ran was talking to the two young people next to her when she heard Fu Wan's voice and looked up in surprise.
"Ah Wan, I was just about to go to your house, haha, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Su Ran quickly stepped forward and hugged Fu Wan tightly. "You heartless bastard! You call yourself a friend? How come you haven't contacted me for months?"
Fu Wan smiled and hugged Su Ran back, "Don't mention it, I've just been busy. To be honest, I just got back from out of town yesterday."
I figured you'd been busy with your career lately, so why did you suddenly think of my house today?
"Oh, I brought people with me!"
As Su Ran spoke, she realized that she had brought two other people with her. She turned her head and saw that her two friends were staring at Fu Wan with shining eyes.
"Come here, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Fu Wan."
"Awan, this is my college classmate Wen Yue, and her boyfriend Wang Shuo."
Fu Wan smiled politely, put down her fishing rod, and stretched out her right hand.
"Hello, comrades."
"Hello, Comrade Fu. I don't know if you remember us, but we've met before."
Wen Yue smiled and her eyes crinkled. Fu Wan saw that she didn't seem to be joking and was instantly a little puzzled. They had met before, so why didn't she remember her?
Seeing Fu Wan's confused expression, Wang Shuo smiled and reminded her, "Comrade Fu, we came all the way from Shanghai."
Fu Wan instantly realized what was happening and exclaimed incredulously, "Wait, you came from Shanghai? Could it be that you said you saw it at a trade fair?"
"Yes, it was at the trade fair. You guys were so busy then that I forgot to write down the address and phone number. But luckily I bought your seafood at that time, and your factory address was on the back of the packaging."
