Although it was also a tin boat, there was no flag on it, and the hull was not painted, so it didn't look like a boat from Fujia Village.
You see, because Fu Wan's family had good seafood, the villagers of Fu Family Village all followed Fu Wan's example and named their own boats, and even painted their boats in all sorts of colors.
Even the paint was bought by the village chief with village funds.
Therefore, they could tell the boats from Fujia Village from those from other villages at a glance.
The dock was bustling with activity, and everyone on the boat was eager to return home, including Dong Haiyang.
The "Sailing Against the Wind" was not trawling, and its speed was extremely fast. It wasn't until it was almost at the dock that Dong Haiyang began to slow down the boat.
"Big brother, Awan, Aming!"
Fu San waved frantically at the dock; the earlier conflict had subsided after Fu Shi summoned him.
He didn't buy a single basket of small yellow croakers. Since these people thought the prices in the county town were too high, then let them sell them in the county town. He, Fu San, wasn't going to put up with it!
He thinks he can be so great with just a few baskets of small yellow croakers? Pshaw, his older brother, nephew, and niece must have seafood a thousand times better on their boats!
Fu Ming waved back to Fu San. He glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. He guessed that Ye Xiaocui and the children were already asleep.
He hadn't seen me for several days and was quite homesick.
Oh dear, I wonder if Fu Liang's wife has given birth yet.
Fu Ming was having a brainstorming session when Fu Wan suddenly pulled him aside.
"Brother, look over there at the dock, who's that!"
Fu Ming subconsciously looked in the direction Fu Wan pointed, and what he saw immediately made his eyes widen.
In that instant, everything around him seemed to freeze, and Fu Ming could only feel his own heartbeat echoing fiercely in his ears.
Good heavens, he must be seeing things. The woman standing on the dock, smiling and waving at him, looks like his wife!
"Wow, you're really lucky, kid!"
Ye Lin nudged Fu Ming with his elbow, but Fu Ming didn't even have time to hit back. His eyes remained fixed on the front, unwilling to look away, as if he was afraid that what he was seeing was an illusion.
But Awan can see it, and Ye Lin can see it too. How could this be a hallucination?
Hehe, looks like it really is his wife who came to pick him up!
Fu Ming's lips curled into a wide smile, his grin growing ever larger, and he involuntarily waved his hand frantically in Qin Anning's direction.
"Anning, my wife!"
The sound was so loud that it completely drowned out Fu San's shouts.
"You brat, why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid your wife will run away?"
Fu San cursed under his breath. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Anning, who was standing obediently in the corner greeting Fu Ming, and couldn't help but sigh.
Damn it, Fu Ming is really lucky to have such a beautiful wife who came to pick him up so late!
Standing next to Qin Anning was Ye Xiaocui. When Fu Shi ran to call Fu San, he also called out Fu Liang.
This was what Fu Liang had instructed him to do. How could he not go and help when Fu Ming and the others returned?
When Fu Liang came out, he accidentally woke up his son. The boy cried so loudly that it shook the earth. Fortunately, Wang Huiping fed him some milk and comforted him until he fell asleep again.
Jiang Chunlan was also woken up. Hearing that Fu Wan and the others had returned, she didn't go back to sleep. Instead, she went to Ye Xiaocui's place to help boil water for Fu Wan and the others to take a bath when they returned.
Ye Xiaocui had already taken a nap, but after Boss Fu and the others went out to sea, she slept lightly. When Fu Shi ran past the door, Yuanbao barked twice, and Da Huang even got up and ran out of the dog hole.
Although Dahuang loves to play, he usually doesn't go out in the middle of the night, so Ye Xiaocui thought she would get up and check on him, but unexpectedly ran into Jiang Chunlan who was coming over.
With Jiang Chunlan boiling water at home, Ye Xiaocui took Qin Anning to the dock to check on the situation.
But when she saw her son's worthless, silly appearance, Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but close her eyes.
Oh, how stupid! So stupid she can't even bear to look at him.
I wonder if my daughter-in-law will find this idiot repulsive.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the "Riding the Waves" ship soon docked at the pier. Old Li took the chains and secured the ship, and Fu San was the first to stride aboard.
At the same time, someone brushed past him. Fu Mingfeng was blown off the boat like a gust of wind and ran to Qin Anning in a flurry.
"Anning, why are you back?"
Upon hearing this question, Qin Anning opened her mouth, but felt a bitter and aggrieved feeling in her heart, and for a moment she didn't know where to begin.
But she quickly suppressed her emotions; she couldn't lose face in front of everyone.
"Oh, I...I'm on vacation."
Fu Ming's first impression was that something was wrong. To those around them, the way the two looked was that of a newlywed couple being shy.
"Hey, Ming, do you even know how to ask questions? What do you mean, 'why did they come back?' If they hadn't come back, would you be happy?"
"Yeah, you can't talk at all. Oh dear, do you want your brothers to teach you?"
Fu Ming glared at the group and retorted without any politeness, "Go away, you're all talkers, what are you meddling in? Hurry up and get on the ship to unload the seafood for my family!"
"Hehe, how did you know we're here to make some extra money? Come on, folks, let's get on the boat and pick up some cash!"
Fu Zhenhua gave a shout, and everyone followed him onto the boat.
Not only men, but also several middle-aged women.
Fu Wan never stipulated that only men should carry seafood for her family. In the countryside, women can be just as strong.
As long as the fish is moved, regardless of gender, you'll still get paid.
Moreover, if one woman can't carry it, two women can. But the women in the village are incredibly capable; each of them can carry a fish basket faster than the men.
After the crowd dispersed, Fu Ming pulled Qin Anning aside and whispered, "Wife, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Qin Anning feigned nonchalance, "It's nothing, what could possibly happen?"
Fu Ming looked incredulous, but seeing that Qin Anning didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press her further.
At worst, we can ask him when he gets home.
If he can't get any information out of her, he can let Fu Wan try. With Qin Anning looking so worried, no one would believe that nothing's wrong!
"It's good that you're alright. Let's go back now."
After Fu Ming finished speaking, he tried to take Qin Anning's hand and go back, but Qin Anning was surprised and dodged backward.
"What are you doing? There are so many people here. Aren't you going to go on the boat and keep an eye on the fish with Dad?"
"No need..." Fu Ming shook his head in denial. At this moment, he had no mind to care about the fish. Just then, Boss Fu shouted loudly.
"Amin, come here right now!"
"Hurry up and go, your father is calling you!"
Qin Anning gave Fu Ming a push, and Fu Ming had no choice but to reluctantly board the boat.
"Then you should go back first. There's nothing to see here, and with people coming and going, you might get stepped on."
Go back to sleep first, don't wait for me..."
Before Fu Ming could finish speaking, Qin Anning nodded and then walked towards Fu Wan without turning her head.
