"What? A typhoon hit back home? We've had sunshine for days back in Shanghai!"
Fu Ming was somewhat incredulous at first, but looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, he couldn't help but rub his arms.
It's normal for a typhoon to hit, after all, Shanghai is several hundred kilometers away from Longhai!
Fu Wan's heart was in her throat as she listened.
She hurriedly asked:
"Why is there a typhoon? Has anything gone wrong at the aquaculture farm?"
Fu Liang was about to report this matter when he saw Fu Wan's worried expression, so he quickly shook his head to reassure her.
"Nothing major happened. In fact, the weather changed the day after you left."
Not only was there no sun, but the clouds over the sea were also incredibly thick.
Uncle and the old village chief immediately noticed that something was wrong with the weather, and they immediately called on the loudspeaker to tell everyone not to go out to sea.
That day, a few of us returned from the sea early in the morning, so we went to help Uncle Jiang reinforce the fish cages.
This typhoon wasn't very strong, but the waves at sea were quite large.
We checked the aquaculture area these past few days, and there was no damage.
Hearing this, Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to you all, I didn't even notice the typhoon hitting our house."
Fu Liang smiled upon hearing this, "There's no need to thank me. We'll definitely take care of the logistics once you're out there. Hehe, even though there's a typhoon, I went out to sea with Uncle Chen and the others the day before."
"How was the trip at sea?"
Fu Ming also became interested, and Zhang Xiaoqing and Wang Jianmin also perked up their ears.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fu Liang felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, it's definitely not comparable to when we go out to sea with you guys. We didn't go very far, just pulled up a few nets in the nearshore area."
"It's mostly mackerel, oysters, and whelks. Come to think of it, going out to sea is still more cost-effective!"
After several trips to the open sea, Fu Liang felt that fishing in coastal waters was not very interesting.
But with Fu Wan and the others not around, and the weather having been unstable lately, Fu Laoda and Chen Balang were worried about going too far.
If something unexpected happens at sea, it could be fatal.
At this point, Fu Liang turned to Fu Wan and asked, "Wan, when shall we go sailing on the open sea again?"
Fu Wan couldn't help but chuckle, "Brother Liang, we've just gotten back from this long journey, and you want me to go out to sea?"
"I'm so tired right now, I just want to go home and get a good night's sleep."
Fu Ming nodded in agreement. Although there were sleeper berths on the train last night, no one knew who was in the carriage, and their snoring was like thunder, making it difficult for anyone to sleep well.
Otherwise, Fu Wan wouldn't have yawned as soon as she got in the car.
Seeing the sleepiness on Fu Wan and the others' faces, Fu Liang immediately forgot about the sea voyage.
"Oh dear, I forgot about that. Why don't you two take a nap first? I'll take Uncle Wang and Comrade Zhang back."
Fu Wan nodded. Wang Jianmin and Zhang Xiaoqing wanted to go back to the factory to arrange orders, but Fu Wan stopped them, telling them they had to go back and rest for a day before talking about it.
These past few days have been tough enough, and I didn't get a good night's rest last night. If I go to work at the factory, I'll be exhausted.
Especially since Wang Jianmin is already quite old, how can he endure this?
The city's train station is about half an hour's drive from the county. Because of the rain, the road was a bit bumpy.
Although the Jeep didn't vibrate much, it still shook a bit.
As the car swayed, Fu Wan felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and she actually fell asleep in the car.
Fu Ming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not fall asleep, so Fu Liang chatted with him about the situation in Shanghai.
Upon learning that they had made over 100,000 yuan by buying two stocks in three days, Fu Liang was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
But considering that Fu Wan personally led the group, it seems somewhat reasonable.
After all, in Fu Liang's opinion, A-Wan was indeed quite lucky with money!
She didn't know how much time had passed when Fu Wan suddenly woke up. Wang Jianmin and Zhang Xiaoqing were no longer in the car.
There were four people sitting in the back seat just now, it was quite crowded.
Fortunately, they don't check for overloading these days, otherwise they would definitely be stopped by the traffic police.
Fu Wan looked out of the car window; they were already on their way back to the village.
I haven't been home for several days, and now when I look at the trees, weeds and wildflowers by the roadside, I feel a sense of familiarity.
When the jeep returned to the village, it was around eleven o'clock. On the way, we encountered many villagers carrying buckets, small baskets hanging from their waists, and wearing rubber boots.
They look like they just came back from beachcombing.
Considering the timing—the typhoon just passed and the tide is low—there must have been quite a catch at the beach.
Fu Ming had just dozed off for a while, and now, looking at his uncle and aunt returning from beachcombing, he couldn't help but feel envious.
"What a pity, we missed a great tide."
Thinking back to their previous beachcombing experience, not only Fu Ming but also Fu Wan felt a bit itchy to try it.
Sigh, it's more important to go back and have a meal and rest first.
"Hey guys, if it doesn't rain tonight, shall we go out and go beachcombing?"
I agree!
Fu Liang was the first to agree, and Fu Ming nodded in agreement as well, while in their minds they began to plan what equipment they should bring and which mudflats they should go to.
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui were already waiting at home. Yesterday, Fu Wan made a phone call to the village, and Fu Laoda went to answer it.
Knowing that his daughter was coming back, he got up early and went to the dock to buy some mantis shrimp.
He also had fish, but since it was windy by the sea, he hadn't gone fishing these past few days. So he went to Fu San's place and caught a stonefish and a tiger grouper.
Steamed grouper, stewed stonefish, and braised pork and spicy rabbit, which Fu Wan and Fu Ming love to eat.
After eating light Shanghai cuisine for several days, the group was immediately overwhelmed by the delicious aroma emanating from the kitchen as soon as they got home.
Because of the unstable weather these past few days, and with school on holiday, Qin Mingzhu and Fu Ling stayed home and played.
Upon learning that Fu Wan was returning today, the two children waited outside the main house early in the morning, unable to even concentrate on watching their favorite cartoons.
Upon hearing the sound of the jeep, the two quickly ran out of the yard.
"Mother!"
"Godmother!"
As soon as Fu Wan got out of the car, she was hugged by the two children on either side. Fu Wan hugged and kissed them one by one. Fu Ming, who was next to her, was already used to his niece's special treatment and went to the trunk to get his luggage.
Hearing the commotion, Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu came out of the kitchen to greet them.
"Oh, you're finally back! You must be exhausted!"
Fu Ming listened and nodded repeatedly, his face full of accusation.
"We're really exhausted, Mom. You have no idea how we've been working like special forces these past two days. We've been working the moment we open our eyes."
"Oh dear, no wonder you've lost weight from exhaustion. Here, have a steamed bun first."
Hearing Fu Ming's complaints, Ye Xiaocui turned around and handed him a white steamed bun.
Fu Ming was so happy he almost drooled.
His favorite seaweed and squid buns taste just like this!
Seeing that the children had all returned, Ye Xiaocui and Fu Laoda hurriedly brought out the food. When Ye Xiaocui saw that Fu Liang was about to leave, she quickly stopped him.
"Ah Liang, come eat at your auntie's, the food is ready!"
"No, Auntie, my mother and my wife are waiting too. You all eat, I'll come over later."
After saying that, he called out to Fu Ming and Fu Wan, "Hurry up and rest after you finish eating, and don't forget about going to the beach tonight!"
"Don't worry! I won't forget!"
