Eel?
Fu Wan was taken aback. Then she realized that it was already April, the weather was mild, and it was indeed the time when eels and loaches were active.
It's been raining these past few days, and as the pond fills up, the crucian carp and common carp inside dart around everywhere.
Thinking back to her childhood, when she would follow Ye Lin and Ye Jun around catching fish with her trousers rolled up, Fu Wan felt a little nostalgic.
"Okay, I'll see if I have time in the next couple of days, and then I'll take them there to play."
Ye Jianguo nodded happily upon hearing this, "Okay, then I'll go up the mountain later and hunt some pheasants and rabbits for you!"
Ye Jianguo, Ye Lin, and Li Jun traveled together. They came on two bicycles, and now they were riding back with some fish.
Su Ran and Su Jianshe followed closely behind to say goodbye to Fu Wan. The two had gained a lot from this trip to sea. Su Jianshe's impression of the countryside had been completely changed, and he was thinking of going back to clear his head.
Su Ran couldn't wait to get back and write down the story of that scumbag Zhao Dong, and then send it to her aunt in Beijing as quickly as possible.
Su Jianshe's attitude after returning was completely different from before he left, and Fu Wan had long since forgiven him.
Since Su Ran also needed to help write the article, she found a small bucket and filled it with some fish and shrimp for the two of them.
There were mantis shrimp, tiger prawns, two grouper, and two rockfish.
"You guys better ride fast, otherwise the fish will die and won't taste good!"
Su Ran nodded repeatedly, "Okay, oh my, Wan, you're putting on too much of a show."
If she hadn't stopped her, Fu Wan could have continued to stuff more stuff inside.
Her family doesn't have a refrigerator, so if she takes it home, she either has to cook it all and eat it, or she has to salt it and eat it for the next meal. To be honest, Su Ran still prefers to eat it fresh.
After staying with Fu Wan for two days, she discovered how fresh and delicious the seafood was.
Fu Wan secured the small buckets to the back seat of the car for them. Luckily, their family had bought quite a few of these small plastic buckets before, otherwise they wouldn't know what to put their fish and shrimp back with.
If only there were foam boxes, but Fu Wan couldn't find any after searching the village for a long time, so she could only pack them in this simple way.
Su Ran kept complaining about how much fish there was. Although she didn't cook much, she had spent two days with Fu Wan and the others and knew that the fish were all quite valuable.
Even those grouper cost more than one yuan per kilogram.
It's much more expensive than pork!
Fu Wan winked at her and smiled, "Su Ran, don't be shy with me. Remember what I asked for when you get back!"
"Things?" Su Ran was puzzled for half a second, then immediately realized what it meant.
She winked at Fu Wan, "Don't worry, I'll finish writing the manuscript and send it out today!"
"I'll call my aunt after I send the things out. If it makes the newspaper, I'll definitely tell you!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!"
Fu Wan was extremely pleased. Although she had never been a journalist, writing definitely required a lot of brainpower.
Haha, I hope Su Ran can write it vividly. Putting aside everything else, it would be good if it could disgust Zhao Dong.
As soon as Su Ran and the others left, the courtyard instantly became deserted.
Taking advantage of the remaining good weather, Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu cleaned up a lot of fish and shrimp, preparing to hang them up to dry.
Fresh fish tastes good, but it's not something you can eat every day. When it's windy or rainy and you can't go out to sea, these dried fish become the main source of meat for fishermen.
Of course, these dried fish and shrimp can also be sold for money. If you have the means, you can take them to the county or town market to set up a stall. If you don't want to go, you can sell them directly to Fu San, who has connections to sell them.
For example, Sun Youcai would definitely collect these practical tips.
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui were both busy, while Fu Ming pulled Qin Anning to go back to the new house.
He suddenly remembered the pager Fu Wan had given him and was eager to go back and show it off to his wife.
But Qin Anning was in no mood to look at any of this. Hearing that Qin Mingzhu had a fever all night yesterday, Qin Anning was very worried and touched Qin Mingzhu's forehead several times.
"How about we go see the village doctor?"
Fu Wan suggested that since there was no thermometer at home, relying solely on hand measurements might be inaccurate.
Qin Anning nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, we should see a doctor. Mingzhu, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Qin Mingzhu shook her head. Perhaps because Zhao Dong had left, her nerves were no longer tense, and her spirits were quite good at the moment.
"If I don't go to the village doctor, can't Uncle Xiaobai treat me?"
With a small head and a big question mark, Fu Ling shared the same confusion.
Oh dear, she's not even as quick-witted as a child. Fu Wan flicked her forehead, realizing she'd forgotten about it.
There's a doctor in our family from the county town now!
Bai Qianzhou was drawing water with Fu Ming at the well to help Ye Xiaocui prepare the fish when he heard them mention him, and he looked up blankly.
"Uncle Xiaobai, Mingzhu is sick, please come and take a look at her!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
Bai Qianzhou washed his hands, and Fu Wan handed him a rag to wipe them dry.
Bai Qianzhou's medical skills were quite diverse. In addition to Western surgical techniques he learned abroad, he also learned a lot about traditional Chinese medicine, which Chinese people are proud of.
He knelt down in front of Qin Mingzhu, touched her forehead, and then asked her to stick out her tongue.
After examining her closely, he took Qin Mingzhu's pulse and said, "It should be a high fever caused by fright."
Judging from the color of her tongue, she's fine now. Just drink more hot water and sweat it out for the next couple of days.
Upon hearing Bai Qianzhou's words, Qin Anning and Fu Wan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Anning quickly pulled Fu Wan aside to thank her: "Awan, thank you so much these past few days. Why don't you come stay at my place for the next couple of days, so you can get some rest?"
Qin Anning's intentions were good. Fu Wan took care of Qin Mingzhu for most of the night last night, and no one could say for sure whether the child would have a fever again tonight.
But Fu Wan still refused, because she noticed Qin Mingzhu's expression darken instantly.
Zhao Dong had just left when she was feeling insecure.
"It's alright, let her live with Lingling and me. Sister-in-law, you haven't had a rest in a long time, take advantage of the holiday to rest at home these few days."
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Qin Anning didn't go home for a whole month after the New Year. With Fu Ming's eyes filled with fear that his wife would run away in the blink of an eye, Fu Wan didn't want Qin Mingzhu to be a third wheel.
With all the children finally together, Ye Xiaocui was the happiest of all.
Because Qin Anning was busy with work, many people in the village laughed at Fu Ming, saying that his wife ran away after he got married.
Of course, these people only dare to talk about it in private. If it were to be brought up in front of the Fu family, they would fall silent.
Ye Xiaocui initially tried to argue with people, but after being persuaded by Fu Wan, she came to terms with it.
People can talk all they want; you can control them today but not tomorrow. As long as the family is doing well, those gossipy people can only be envious.
