With Fu San, Fu Ming, and Fu Liang watching over things at the dock, Boss Fu pulled the cart and went home with Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin.
Fu Ling woke up when the ship docked. She was lying on Fu Wan's body, her little head nodding, clearly not having had enough sleep.
"Go back and take a shower, then Mom will sleep with you for a while."
Fu Ling nodded sleepily. In fact, she hadn't heard what Fu Wan was saying at all. She only felt that her mother smelled nice, which made her especially sleepy.
Fu Wan also felt sleepy and tired. When the mother and daughter got home, they quickly washed up, made a bowl of milk powder to eat, and then slept until the sun was high in the sky.
"Ah Wan, have you heard? Fu Gang is going to change his surname!"
Fu Ming woke up a little earlier than Fu Wan. He had just taken Ye Lin out for a walk when he brought back some explosive news.
Changing surnames is not common in the village; most changes are for children, like Fu Wan's. Fu Gang is probably the first adult to change his surname in recent decades.
Fu Wan washed her and her daughter's faces. There were cookies left by Ye Xiaocui on the table.
She took two pieces and ate them with Fu Ling while asking questions.
Why the sudden change of surname?
Something big must have happened here!
Putting everything else aside, someone as proud as Fu Lao Er would never allow such a shameful thing to happen.
Seeing the two of them eating pancakes, Fu Ming also felt hungry, so he took a pancake and ate it while telling them what he had heard.
Ye Lin also found a stool and sat down, occasionally adding a few words.
It turns out that this story started when Fu Gang's wife became pregnant.
Fu Gang's wife found out she was pregnant a month ago. The couple had been married for more than half a year without any news, so this good news finally came, and Fu Gang's father-in-law and his family were overjoyed.
Fu Gang was originally a son-in-law who married into the family. His wife, Zhao Meili, was the niece of the director of the town's supply and marketing cooperative. If Fu Gang hadn't been good-looking and had a silver tongue, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to marry into the family.
Although it's not a pleasant topic to talk about marrying into another family, Fu Lao Er and Wang Lao Tai reluctantly agreed to the marriage out of respect for the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
But it wasn't said that Fu Gang would also have to change his surname to Zhao!
Grandma Wang originally planned to wait until Fu Gang's father-in-law passed away, and then coax Fu Gang's wife to change the surname of their future children back to Fu. If that didn't work, her grandson could also have the surname Fu, and she wouldn't mind if the three generations returned to the original surname!
Now that Fu Gang is going to be surnamed Zhao, the villagers will laugh at their boasts, so naturally they can't agree to it.
So a commotion broke out at Fu Lao Er's house. Old Mrs. Wang sat on the threshold of her house, crying and wailing, complaining that her dead husband hadn't taken her with him.
Fu Lao Er squatted in the yard smoking, while Wang Zhao Di sat beside him wiping away tears.
While they were arguing early in the morning, Fu Qiang secretly rode Fu Gang's bicycle and disappeared somewhere.
Fu Gang's car is gone, and he hasn't received his household registration certificate either. He's furious.
He immediately broke ties with Fu Lao Er's family and went on a long trip.
Right now, he's under a big tree at the village entrance, telling the village aunties and grandmas about the favoritism shown by Fu Lao Er's family over the years.
Fu Wan was stunned. Good heavens, the Fu family had put on such a wonderful show!
They even figured out something as simple as the three generations returning to their ancestral lineage. It has to be said that Old Lady Wang's thinking was quite profound.
It's a pity they didn't use their talents for good; they were only used to scheme against people.
Just then, Boss Fu returned from outside and was overjoyed to see that Fu Wan had woken up.
"Ah Wan, I've brought the village chief over. Let's go see what that thing looks like!"
Fu Laoda wasn't an iron man either. After weighing the fish and Fu San, he went back to sleep for a few hours. When he woke up, he went to the village to find the old village chief.
As soon as Village Chief Fu arrived at the village office, Boss Fu pulled him aside and told him about finding a big thing in the sea. The old village chief didn't know what to do, so he followed Boss Fu to see what the thing looked like.
Village Chief Fu walked to the backyard of Old Master Fu's house, and Old Master Fu lifted the tarpaulin covering it.
"My goodness, this really is something foreigners have come up with!"
Village Chief Fu leaned forward and touched the thing. Following the direction Fu Wan pointed, he could see the national flag on the back of the thing.
His expression instantly turned serious. "Awan, Gouwa, I won't say any more. We need to call the county leaders immediately and report this!"
"Who knows what those damned bastards were doing putting this thing in the sea!"
Fu Wan nodded in agreement, "I think so too, Village Chief, let's make the call now!"
The group left without hesitation. Fu Wan let Fu Ling play with Fu Ming in the yard, while she went to the village office with Fu Laoda and Village Chief Fu.
Several villagers on the road saw Fu Laoda and his daughter with the village chief and were somewhat puzzled.
"Ah Wan, what are you doing with the village chief?!"
"Is something good happening in the village again?"
Fu Wan glanced at the man; he was Fu Tiezhu, a close friend of Fu Lao Er.
"What good news could there be? Go do your work! The sun's already high in the sky, and you still haven't finished your work in the fields!"
"Let's do it! Let's do it!"
After being scolded by Boss Fu, Fu Tiezhu stopped asking questions and slunk away to pick up his hoe and continue working.
He was somewhat afraid of Boss Fu, and he had been beaten quite a bit when he was a child.
Village Chief Fu was preoccupied, so he walked quickly. Fu Laoda and Fu Wan also followed closely behind him, and within a few minutes, they arrived at the village office.
Fu Wan still remembered Zhao Gang's contact information, so she picked up the phone and dialed. After a busy signal, Fu Wan thought Zhao Gang wasn't next to her, but just as she was about to hang up and redial, a familiar voice came from the other end.
Hello, who is this?
"Hello, Leader Zhao, I am Fu Wan from Fujia Village."
Fu Wan greeted him with a smile, and Zhao Gang was surprised that Fu Wan would take the initiative to call him.
"Oh, it's Comrade Fu Wan. How have you been lately? Have you run into any trouble?"
Zhao Gang was a little curious. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that Fu Wan's call to him must have something important to say.
As expected of a seasoned veteran, he got straight to the point.
Fu Wan didn't stand on ceremony and got straight to the point.
"Leader Zhao, I'm fine, but last night when we went out to sea to fish, our fishing net pulled up something. I need to trouble you for advice on how to deal with it."
Zhao Gang suddenly became interested, "What is it?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing is shaped a bit like the cannonballs in the movies, with a propeller at the tail and the American flag on it."
"What?! A cannonball?!"
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhao Gang was so frightened that his voice trembled, and he immediately stood up from his seat.
The secretary working nearby was also startled and stopped what she was doing to look at him.
Fu Wan didn't want to tell him that the thing was probably a torpedo, since she was just a fisherwoman from a fishing village and wouldn't know what a torpedo looked like.
"I'm taking men to Fuji Village right away. Don't touch that thing! Absolutely do not touch it!"
