According to him, he watched the scales for a while and loaded some goods. Fifty yuan was already very good. Any more, and Lin Qiuju would scold him when he got back!
Fu San insisted, and Fu Wan had no choice but to comply.
After Sun Youcai and Sun Youjin left with the gentian grouper, Fu Wan asked Fu Laoda to invite Fu San and the others back to have something to eat.
Fu Sanben was still thinking about going home, but considering that his daughter was probably asleep after drinking her milk at this time, he didn't refuse.
When they got home, Ye Xiaocui and the others had almost finished eating. Seeing Fu Wan and the others return, they hurried to the kitchen to bring out the warm dishes.
"I knew you guys would be too busy for a while. Awan had too many dishes delivered, so I took out most of them and kept them warm."
These are all great dishes to go with your drinks, so hurry up and eat!
As they were talking, Jiang Chunlan brought them bowls and chopsticks.
Fu Wan asked with a smile, "Auntie, have you finished eating? Are you full?"
"We're full! Oh, Wan, the food at Jinlai Restaurant is really good. You guys should eat quickly. You must be starving after working so hard for so long!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan sat down and took the bowl, reminding them to do the same.
"We're not going out to sea until tomorrow night, so I have to go to the factory this morning."
Sun Youjin said they're having a gentian and grouper feast tomorrow at noon, so I told him to save some for us. We can just have it at my place tomorrow at noon!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chunlan laughed so hard her teeth practically popped out.
She had eaten grouper twice, but she had never eaten one this big.
However, what made her happiest was not this, but that Fu Wan also thought of their family when she did things!
"Alright, alright, then I won't refuse. You guys eat quickly, and then get a good night's sleep."
Fu Wan nodded as she ate. Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu had taken a nap that afternoon and weren't very sleepy yet, so they watched TV and waited for Fu Wan.
The dishes Ye Xiaocui left for Fu Wan and the others were all slightly flavorful, and they were indeed very suitable to be paired with some wine.
I don't know how Boss Fu submitted his report, but Ye Xiaocui actually agreed to let him drink.
Fu Laoda was also happy. He secretly went into the house and found half a bottle of Moutai, plus a bottle of Lao Gaoliang liquor. The men drank it with great gusto.
Fu Wan also tasted a small half cup of Moutai. To be honest, the taste was very mellow. After half a cup, she felt dizzy and her mind couldn't process anything.
Drinking alcohol makes you sleepy, and Fu Wan couldn't remember how she got home. When she got up, rubbing her head, it was already bright outside.
I took out my watch and saw it was eight o'clock in the morning.
It's not too late, but it's not too early either.
Fu Wan quickly got up to wash up, went to the old house for breakfast, and saw that Ye Xiaocui and Ye Jianguo were preparing for their voyage. She then asked Fang Min to go to the cannery.
When we arrived at the cannery, it was already past nine in the morning, and the workers had all started work.
Fu Wan was standing at the workshop entrance when she immediately spotted Li Ruonan, who was concentrating intently on her work.
She turned to Wang Jianmin beside her and asked, "Uncle Wang, how's the child doing lately?"
This question caught Wang Jianmin's attention. He scratched his head and said, "It should be fine. I haven't seen her contact me with anything."
Thinking about it carefully, if there really were any problems, Li Ruonan would probably go to Chen Guifang.
Thinking this way, Fu Wan simply sought out Chen Guifang again.
"Sister-in-law, when you went back to your parents' home last time, did you find out anything?"
Chen Guifang was furious when she talked about this.
"I found out, and it's pretty much the same as what Xiaonan said. Her parents didn't make a fuss about her running away from home; they told everyone that she went back to her hometown in the countryside."
Chen Guifang sighed, her anger growing even stronger.
"As for the college entrance exam, nobody knows the truth. Li Ruonan's younger brother did take the college entrance exam in the same year as Li Ruonan. This guy just loafs around all day. The neighbors in the tenement building all say that it's a miracle that he got into a university in Shanghai."
"Xiao Nan hasn't shown her face in public for over a year. Her parents told the neighbors that she was disheartened and unwilling to go out because she failed to get into university. As time went on, the neighbors forgot about it."
"And another thing," Chen Guifang lowered her voice, and Fu Wan looked at her in surprise, feeling that what she was about to say was not simple.
“I found out that Li Ruonan has an uncle who works in the Education Bureau. I suspect that he may have helped Li Ruonan in getting into university by impersonation.”
Chen Guifang recounted all the information she knew in one breath, and Fu Wan fell into deep thought after listening.
From this perspective, Li Ruonan's parents are indeed not good people.
Otherwise, if the child were lost, they wouldn't have covered it up and lied that Li Ruonan went to the countryside.
Fu Wan guessed that while the family claimed Li Ruonan had gone to visit relatives, they were probably secretly searching for her everywhere.
Fu Wan guessed correctly. At that moment, in Pear Blossom Alley a few kilometers away, a middle-aged man was impatiently yelling at the woman next to him.
"They're all your good daughters. Director Hu told me yesterday that he would arrange a matchmaking in three days. Look how many days have passed, where are they? Tell me where they are!"
The woman who was being scolded was Li Ruonan's mother, Wang Mei.
She looked exhausted, and a hint of hatred immediately appeared on her face when she mentioned Li Ruonan.
"That brat, just wait until I find her, I'll skin her alive!"
Last time they went to meet Li Ruonan, she suddenly disappeared. They could only make an excuse that Li Ruonan was unwell and went home early. Fortunately, Director Hu of the steel factory didn't say anything, but he was unhappy.
It took Li Ruonan's father, Li Dapeng, a lot of persuasion to finally appease Director Hu and reschedule the blind date for three days later.
Now, with only one day left, Li Ruonan still hasn't been found.
That's strange. The county town is only so big. How far can that brat go on her two legs?
Could it be that she's had another episode?
Thinking of this, Wang Mei's face showed a look of horror.
She grabbed Li Dapeng's hand.
"Honey, do you think that girl's gone off to commit suicide again?"
Li Dapeng paused for a moment after shaking off Wang Mei's hand, then impatiently pushed her away.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That brat was faking it. No one would dare to commit suicide."
"Alright, you go back and look for it first. I'll talk to Director Hu and ask him to give me a few more days."
He had already negotiated the bride price, and he would find Li Ruonan no matter where she was, no matter where she was.
Completely unaware of all this, Li Ruonan stood before Fu Wan, full of energy.
"How have you been lately? Are you settling in well?"
Fu Wan looked at her and smiled, saying that this girl had only stayed at the cannery for a few days, but she had changed a lot.
My face has gained some weight, and my complexion has improved a lot.
Most importantly, her whole demeanor became radiant, and she exuded the vitality that young people should have.
"I'm fine, Sister Wan, thank you."
Fu Wan shook her head, "It's too early to say thank you now. You can thank me when there's good news from Shanghai."
