"It exploded? Really?"
Fu Wan was overjoyed; she had just received the newspaper when such good news came from the cannery.
Fu Ming nodded and said, "These are all calls from the supply and marketing cooperative and Friendship Store. Right now, they're from the county and nearby towns. People in the city probably haven't seen the newspapers and reacted yet."
Remembering what Fu Ming had mentioned about the health report, Fu Wan quickly asked, "Has the health department issued the certificate of conformity yet?"
"I can't hold you back."
"This was finished yesterday afternoon, and Wang Jianmin and his team are working overtime to produce canned goods right now!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui were overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles.
Fu Fengying, however, felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. "Gouwa, what are Awan and the others saying?"
Fu Fengying, the eldest son of the Fu family, certainly didn't hide anything from her. "Awan bought a cannery and recently started making canned fish. I guess it's because of this newspaper report that we suddenly have so many orders for canned fish..."
The two police officers finally understood what they were saying. Fu Ming had just said that the cannery had exploded, which made them very nervous, and they were thinking of going there to check it out right away.
"Comrades, let's discuss how to handle this now. We need to rush back and report back."
Although they didn't want to disturb the harmonious atmosphere, the two police officers still raised the questions posed by the working class.
Fu Fengying paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Jack.
Jack belatedly realized that everyone was looking at him.
His blue eyes darted left and right before settling on the tricycle outside the door.
"If Antioch doesn't go back, neither will I. I'll stay here too!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan and the others looked rather strange.
This person was so rude just now, how come they're so easy to talk to now?
Seeing that his eyes were still glued to the tricycle, Fu Wan suddenly felt that she had discovered the truth.
If you're willing to stay, then stay. Guests are guests, and the Fu family has no reason to turn them away.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble.
Since the Fu family did not object, the two police officers had Jack sign the withdrawal of the case and then returned to the city to report back.
Just as the police officer left, Village Chief Fu strode in.
He was stunned when he saw Fu Fengying, then turned to ask Boss Fu.
"Doggy, who is this?"
Boss Fu smiled and said, "Uncle, guess who this is?"
Village Chief Fu had no idea. Only after Ye Xiaocui called out "Sister" did he incredulously whisper, "This is Fengying?"
Fu Fengying recognized the village chief and wiped away her tears, calling out, "Uncle, it's Fengying! It's me, Fengying!"
"Fengying is gone, isn't she! Damn it, your father was lying all along!"
He was still in his prime when Fengying disappeared. He knew everything that happened in the village, big and small. Fu Fengying disappeared for no reason. He went to the Fu family several times, but the old man Fu insisted that Fu Fengying had died of illness.
When asked where he buried it, he confidently replied that he had forgotten.
At that time, Liu San Niang suspected that Fu Fengying had been sold by her father, but she had no evidence and could not find the person.
He never imagined that he would see Fu Fengying come home again in his lifetime.
"Good, good, it's good that you're back. Your mother can rest in peace down there now."
Village Chief Fu choked up, as if a stone was stuck in his throat.
"Uncle, what brings you to my house?"
Seeing that Village Chief Fu was about to wipe away tears, Boss Fu quickly changed the subject.
"What's the matter? Oh, I heard that two police officers came to your house, so I came to see what's going on."
"Hey, what's this foreigner doing here?"
Seeing Jack following behind Fu Ming, the old village chief Fu was very surprised.
Boss Fu then explained to him why the police had come, so the old man wouldn't worry.
Upon hearing that Fu Fengying had been taken to America, the old village chief sighed.
No wonder he hasn't been home for decades, having traveled across the ocean.
Jack's appearance caused a huge uproar in the village. Everyone usually saw Chinese people with black eyes and black hair, and had never seen a foreigner before.
Seeing the foreigner following Fu Ming on his tricycle up and down the hill, they couldn't help but gather around Fu's house, wanting to see what the foreigner looked like.
Jack didn't seem to mind at all; on the contrary, he waved enthusiastically to the women, as if he were a completely different person from the foreign friend who had previously been resistant to rural life.
In reality, he was just in a good mood and having a blast riding this amazing tricycle.
This is something that the United States doesn't have.
He was especially curious about Fu Ming helping Fu San haul goods, and he helped out quite a bit.
"Auntie, how old is Jack?"
Seeing this person's behavior, Fu Wan felt that he was not like an adult at all.
"Oh, Jack should be eighteen years old this year. His parents died in a car accident when he was young, and his family brought him here to be raised by me."
Fu Wan suddenly understood why he changed his mind and wanted to stay, realizing he was only eighteen years old.
However, although this younger brother is tall and strong, his facial features look more mature than Fu Ming's.
Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. Ye Xiaocui had specially prepared coconut heart stewed with old hen for lunch. Jack's eyes widened the moment the chicken soup was served.
Not only that, Ye Xiaocui also caught a rabbit, steamed a few crabs, and even used the rice cooker that Fu Wan bought.
Perhaps because it was novel and convenient, Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui also praised the rice cooker highly.
However, the coconut chicken is even more worthy of praise. The sweetness of the coconut core mixed with the chicken soup is not only sweeter than the chicken cooked with coconut meat, but also has a much richer coconut aroma.
Jack initially thought it smelled good, but after taking a sip of the soup, he immediately started eating without looking up.
The speed at which he ate made Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu eat much faster, fearing that this strange uncle would finish all the food in the house.
After dinner, Fu Wan and Fu Ming cleared the table. Jack, perhaps feeling he had eaten too much, clumsily came over to help.
However, Fu Wan did not stop her. After all, once you eat, you have to get back to work.
"Ah Wan, I went to the beach at noon and the red tide has almost receded."
After not going out to sea for several days, Boss Fu was itching to get back to work.
Fu Wan had been thinking about this too, and when she heard what Fu Laoda said, she replied, "How about we go out to sea tomorrow? We can take Auntie along for a trip."
Old Master Fu naturally agreed, and Fu Fengying was even happier to hear that her family owned a boat.
What she used to envy most was that other people had boats so they could go out to sea to fish and didn't have to fight with the aunties for sea snails on the mudflats all day.
Although Jack didn't understand what they meant by "going to sea," he decided to follow Fu Ming closely.
After all, in his eyes, Fu Wan was a beautiful but fierce woman, and after learning that the tricycle belonged to Fu Wan, he labeled her even more.
That's a beautiful older sister who's rich but a bit fierce.
