"Don't worry, I know that. Next Monday is fine. I'll call you again before I buy the tickets."
Qin Fu readily agreed, and after they hung up the phone, Fu Wan immediately began packing her things.
This voyage will last at least three days, so she needs to bring several sets of clothes to change into.
We should also bring weapons for self-defense, in case we run into the same problem as last time when we go out to sea.
After finishing all that, she lay down on the bed and dozed off for a while.
Fu Wan didn't sleep for long because she was worried about going out to sea that night, so she didn't fall into a deep sleep.
When we went downstairs, Xiao Huang was nowhere to be seen, but Da Huang and Wang Cai were lying together like best friends.
Seeing Fu Wan come down, the two dogs wagged their tails on either side. Fu Wan reached out and stroked the dogs' heads a couple of times, but her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of something strange in the basin by the well.
This large basin of talisman usually has some water in it, just in case Wangcai can't find water to drink at home.
As it turned out, a half-meter-long gill lizard was floating in the basin, its fluorescent green color indicating that it had long since died.
"Big Yellow, you went fishing again?"
Fu Wan understood everything and picked up the fish.
There were several teeth marks on the sword, clearly left by canine teeth.
Big Yellow barked, then strode proudly to Fu Wan.
I was the one who caught it!
No wonder Da Huang was proud; Wang Cai's envious eyes were practically overflowing with envy.
Seeing Wangcai's attitude change from before, Fu Wan immediately understood.
Wangcai admires strength!
I thought Big Yellow was just there to freeload, but it turns out it's a master fish catcher just like its owner.
A big fish was all it took to convince Wangcai to accept Dahuang's arrival.
Moreover, given Da Huang's tendency to run away from home all the time, it was clear that he wouldn't threaten Da Huang's role as a guard dog.
Seeing the two dog sisters getting along so well, Fu Wan was quite happy.
"The demon-head knife is also good, I'll take it and cook it for you!"
Any gains are good, Fu Wan thought to herself as she walked out carrying the ghost-head knife.
It seems there's really nothing good to be found by the sea in the village, otherwise Big Yellow wouldn't have caught such a lousy-tasting mace.
As they approached their departure for sea, Ye Xiaocui was busy making pancakes, and Jiang Chunlan came over to knead dough and make steamed buns.
When Ye Xiaocui saw Fu Wan enter carrying a ghost-head knife, she couldn't help but feel strange.
"Ah Wan, where did you catch that ghost-head knife?"
"Oh, Big Yellow caught it."
Fu Wan tossed the ghost-head knife aside by the well and went to the kitchen to grab another knife.
"Mom, fry this fish in some oil later, but don't add salt, and give it to Dahuang and Wangcai."
Ye Xiaocui nodded in agreement, and Jiang Chunlan, who was standing to the side, laughed and joked as she worked.
“Xiao Cui, in the past, you would never have been willing to feed the fish to the dog.”
Ye Xiaocui thought she was laughing at something, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but say irritably, "You're making it sound like I'm petty."
The mackerel is full of thorns, and the meat is tough. We don't lack fish or meat at home now, so I wouldn't mind feeding it to the dog.
As she said this, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Life is better now, even dogs are picky eaters. Hey Chunlan, what about Wangcai, Yuanbao, and Amin's little black dog? They eat both raw and cooked food the same way. Only Dahuang is special; he only eats cooked food."
"You bet it is. This dog has a good appetite, but your dogs are all incredibly smart."
That's true, Ye Xiaocui agreed wholeheartedly.
Wangcai is a master at guarding the house, while Xiao Hei Yuanbao, though small, is quite fierce towards strangers.
As for Dahuang, although its origins are unknown, it is quite formidable.
This was the first time Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan, who had lived by the sea for most of their lives, had ever seen a dog that could go into the water to catch fish and even dive into the sea to catch fish.
The two chatted while Fu Wan listened from outside.
Fu Mingye, Lin Fuliang, and the others had already been pushing carts and tricycles to load the things needed for the sea trip onto the boat. Boss Fu had gone out and had not yet returned.
While Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were busy, they kept talking.
While Fu Wan was cleaning a fish, their conversation shifted from the dog to Fu Lao Er.
To be precise, it was transferred to Fu Gang.
Fu Wan overheard this and learned that after Fu Qiang and Xue Qing were captured by the camp last time, there was no further news.
Since Fu Lao Er's family couldn't get any news from Fu Qiang, they assumed he had already eaten peanuts.
Everyone had forgotten about it, but a few days ago someone accidentally saw Wang Zhaodi burning paper money on a small mound of earth on the mountain.
When everyone asked who it was, Wang Zhaodi wouldn't say, gave a few perfunctory words, and turned to leave.
So the villagers started gossiping about it.
In Fujia Village, only the young don't have tombstones erected after their deaths. Wang Zhaodi is burning paper money there; that mound of earth must represent Fu Qiang.
Although we didn't see Fu Qiang's body, we can guess that what was buried inside was probably Fu Qiang's clothes.
Of course, people didn't just draw this conclusion casually. There's another reason for saying this: Fu Gang, who married into the family, has been returning to Fu Family Village very frequently lately.
It's worth noting that Fu Gang and Fu Lao Er had a falling out before, so their reconciliation undoubtedly tells everyone a fact.
That means Fu Qiang can't come back, and Fu Shi can't be relied on either, so the only option is to bring Fu Gang back.
Speaking of talismans, not only Jiang Chunlan, but even Ye Xiaocui shook her head and sighed.
What a wonderful child! How did he end up with such parents?
They had heard about Fu Lao Er and Wang Zhao Di repeatedly asking Fu Shi for money, and had even witnessed it twice. If Fu Shi hadn't seen through them long ago, the little money he had worked so hard to earn would probably have been swindled out of him.
However, Fu Shi is not young anymore, and it's about time he started looking for a partner.
With those few ticking time bombs like Fu Lao Er around, what girl from an ordinary family would be willing to marry him?
Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui shook their heads as they talked about this. Just then, Boss Fu walked in with a big smile on his face.
"Ah Wan, Ah Wan!"
"Hey, I'm here!"
Fu Wan hurriedly responded loudly. Seeing how happy Fu Laoda looked, Fu Wan guessed that her previous plan had probably succeeded.
"What's wrong, Dad? Did the village chief agree?"
Fu Laoda patted his chest and nodded proudly, "With me in charge, the village chief will definitely agree."
"Hey, Wan, you don't know, when I told the old village chief that you were going to pay for the cement road, he got so excited that his eyes turned red."
If Fu Jian hadn't gone to work, he would definitely have been made to buy a pair of firecrackers to set off at the ancestral hall entrance!
It's probably the first time in the entire Longhai City that an individual has funded the repair of roads in a village.
"What about my purchase of the homestead land?"
Boss Fu's smile faltered slightly, and he coughed twice before saying, "He does agree to this, but it's not that simple. The village chief said that giving you that plot of land before was already an exception."
If he still needs a plot of land for residential use, it might not be approved. But he can talk to the village committee and try to sell us the land by the sea at a low price.
"That's why he told me to come back now and ask which piece of land you've got your eye on."
