After returning the fish home, Village Chief Fu came over and heard that Zhang Fugui had been beaten because he had misrepresented the information. Village Chief Fu felt a little guilty, and this guilt reached its peak when he learned that Grandpa Fu was so excited that he almost fell to the ground.
Oh dear, he's really dumbfounded. He used to say his wife was being nosy. Luckily, Grandpa Fu is alright, otherwise Old Village Chief Fu would never forgive himself.
Boss Fu is also smart; he knows what he should and shouldn't say.
When asked about Zhang Fugui being thrown into the sea by Xu Laobie, Boss Fu only said a few words, without mentioning anything about the Buddha head on the boat.
If he didn't mention it, Zhang Fugui dared not mention it either.
His comrades at the camp had told him that if he wanted to avoid trouble, he should just let it go.
Therefore, Zhang Fugui did not want to recall anything about the smuggling ships.
As they were talking, Fu Ming was busy doing something non-stop.
The young couple had only been reunited for less than two days when Qin Anning had to return to the camp to do his work.
Fu Ming pretended to be fine, but in his heart he wished he could skin those enemy agents alive.
It's all their fault for creating these messy sonar torpedoes; all they think about is how to probe China's secrets.
But he wouldn't show these emotions to Qin Anning. Instead, he silently went to pack up all the freshly made fish chili sauce and egg buns that Ye Xiaocui had just cooked, afraid that Qin Anning wouldn't be able to get used to the food at the camp.
Seeing this, Fu Wan also forced herself to stay awake and packed a portion for Bai Qianzhou. Bai Qianzhou saw this and was secretly pleased.
"You don't need much. You've been busy all night, so go and get some rest!"
Bai Qianzhou noticed Fu Wan's drowsiness. Although he was also very sleepy, it didn't stop him from feeling sorry for Fu Wan.
Fu Wan shoved the bulging cloth bag into his hands. "We're going right away, so I won't see you off. The camps on both sides aren't far from Fu Family Village."
"I'll drive to pick you up and take you home after you're done with your work."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Bai Qianzhou couldn't help but smile. Compared to the decisiveness here, Fu Ming wanted to become Qin Anning's accessory and follow her to the camp.
Ye Xiaocui was too ashamed to look, so she pulled Fu Ming away and held Qin Anning's hand, muttering to herself.
"An Ning, don't pay any attention to this kid. Your mission is important, and don't keep the comrades in the camp waiting."
"Also, remember to eat during your workday. Look how much weight you've lost since you came back. Remember to eat the steamed buns and chili sauce I brought you early, before they go bad."
If you want something else to eat later, just call home and I'll have Awan and Aming deliver it to you.
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
Qin Anning couldn't help but burst into tears. To be honest, her marriage to Fu Ming was a rash move she made at the time. After all, she had studied abroad, and in the eyes of many people in the camp, she was considered to have a bad class background.
But while those people despised her background, they also coveted her face, her wealth, and even her uterus.
The men who were interested in her all wanted her to give up her job, take her dowry, and go back home to have children.
It's ridiculous. Although she had a bad family background and was still a woman, she also had a heart to serve her country. She married Fu Ming because he promised he wouldn't stop her from working.
Looking back now, it seems that her hasty decision back then turned out to be a gamble that paid off. Not only does Fu Ming not want her to give up her job and stay home to have children, but even her in-laws, who have always been a headache for Chinese people, don't pressure her.
He even understood and tolerated her.
Having such a family is a blessing for Qin Anning.
Carrying heavy luggage and worries, Qin Anning and Bai Qianzhou followed their comrades from the camp to the dock again.
Fu Ming and Ye Xiaocui saw her off all the way out, but Fu Wan didn't follow. After staying up for a whole day and night, she felt like she was floating when she walked.
Fu Wan went straight to bed when she got home. Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu knew that Fu Wan had been exhausted for a day and a night, so they didn't bother her. The two of them had already received a call from the school and had to go back to school next week.
After being out of school for more than a month, they had completely forgotten the knowledge in their books. Right now, they were holding their books and trying hard to recall it, afraid of being at the bottom of the exam and being ridiculed by their classmates.
Fu Wan didn't care. In her opinion, her two children were only in first grade, and it was already remarkable that they could recognize a few words. But her daughter was competitive and wanted to drag Qin Mingzhu along to beat up the other children in the class.
Fu Wan slept straight through until evening. When she opened her eyes, it was already dark outside. She took out her watch and saw that it was 5:30 pm.
After sleeping for more than ten hours, Fu Wan woke up with a slight headache. She staggered into the bathroom to wash her face, and after calming down, she put on her nylon coat and headed towards the old house.
Before even entering the door, Fu Wan could hear Jack and his friends chattering away.
Sigh, I almost forgot that I had these three ancestors at home!
"Ah Ming, call Lingling and tell her and Mingzhu to go check if Awan has woken up yet!"
Ye Xiaocui called out from the kitchen, and Fu Ming responded loudly. Just as he was about to pull his niece away, he heard Fu Wan's voice at the door.
"Mother, no need, I'm here!"
"Oh, I've finally gotten up! Just in time for dinner!"
"Look at you, I even saved lunch for you at noon, but Lingling and Mingzhu said you weren't awake yet, so I didn't dare to wake you..."
Ye Xiaocui muttered to herself, but her hands moved with surprising speed.
Before Fu Wan could reply, the old lady shouted at the top of her lungs, "Jack, Carrot Head, and Tom, it's time to eat! Come and help us!"
"They're here! They're here!"
Jack and his two companions rushed into the kitchen, instantly making the already small space feel cramped.
The three had a clear division of labor: one served the dishes, and the other washed the dishes, leaving Fu Wan dumbfounded.
I only slept for one day, and Ye Xiaocui trained them so well?
"Mom, you're being a bit too harsh with that!"
Ye Xiaocui smiled smugly, "After eating, you have to get back to work. These three can eat so much, I have to get them to help out!"
Fu Ming couldn't help but interject, "Hey, serving dishes is nothing compared to what we've accomplished. Wan, go check out the backyard later. Dad and the others have chopped up all the vegetables there. We probably won't need to chop firewood this year!"
"Really? They'd actually do it?"
Fu Wan was a little incredulous. What did a year's worth of firewood mean? It would fill half the backyard!
Jack and his two companions aren't stupid; they're just playful by nature. If you ask them to chop wood, they'll definitely run away in no time.
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming gave a smile that was hard to describe.
"Of course they wouldn't do it, but they need to eat too, right?"
They especially loved the snacks at the village store. Wow, after they finished their work this afternoon, I treated them to a lot of snacks!
I bought a whole bag of everything: spicy strips, sour plum powder, shredded radish, and so on.
These people had a great time eating, but the only one who suffered was Fu Ming's wallet.
He had painstakingly saved up his secret stash of money, but before he could even buy his wife a nice dress, these people had swindled him out of several dollars!
Ugh, this is so difficult!
