Ye Xiaocui was picking vegetables in the yard at the moment. The rice was already cooking. She glanced at the gate from time to time, guessing that Fu Wan and the others should be home soon.
Fu Ling, Qin Mingzhu, Fu Honghong, and several village children were sitting in the main room watching TV when Fu Wan's footsteps immediately attracted Yuanbao, who was also squatting on the ground watching TV.
It dashed towards the door in a flash, and upon smelling Fu Wan's scent, its guard immediately relaxed, and its tail began to wag incessantly.
"mother!"
Before Fu Wanren even reached the door, she started calling for Ye Xiaocui.
Upon hearing that it was a girl, Ye Xiaocui immediately dropped the vegetable leaves in her hand and hurriedly came to greet her.
"Ah Wan, you're back? Oh dear, you must be exhausted!"
Fu Wan smiled and handed the fish she was holding to Ye Xiaocui.
"It's alright, not too tiring. Dad and my brother are still unloading cargo at the dock."
"Mom, take the fish and luggage back first, and see what we'll make for tonight. I need to call the village committee first!"
"Okay, okay!"
Ye Xiaocui responded immediately. Fu Wan patted Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu's heads, then hurriedly turned and walked towards the village committee.
She glanced at the time as she walked; it was almost seven o'clock, and she wondered if anyone at the factory would still be answering the phone.
There wasn't much of a person at the village committee at the moment, so Fu Wan had the foresight to go to the old village chief's house first to get the key to the village committee.
The old village chief must be watching the excitement on the deck. Liu Sanniang was busy preparing dinner at home. When she saw Fu Wan, she chatted with her for a bit and then gave her the key.
Fu Wan first called the food factory. The phone rang twice before someone answered.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou?"
"Factory manager?"
Zhou Haoran was surprised to receive a call from Fu Wan at this hour and immediately became excited.
"Factory manager, you're back from sea? Oh, luckily I'm still working overtime today. Are you calling so late to ask about the trade fair?"
Fu Wan responded, and Zhou Haoran immediately began to recount the events of the past few days in a rapid-fire manner.
He didn't know much in detail, but Zhang Xiaoqing had discussed many things with him during this period.
The registration fee and booth fee for the trade fair have been paid, and Wang Jianmin and Fu Jian have also obtained the relevant permits.
As for the merger of the cannery and food factory into the Five Star Group, he was not involved and did not know the specific progress.
However, the packaging of the products has been completely changed. All the food produced in the last two days now bears the logo of the Five Star Group.
It should go smoothly.
After hanging up with Zhou Haoran, Fu Wan called the cannery again.
Wang Jianmin had already gone home after work, and Fu Jian answered the phone. The factory had been busy lately, so he had simply been staying in the cannery's dormitory.
Upon hearing that Fu Wan had returned, Fu Jian was overjoyed and immediately began to recount in detail what had happened in the past few days.
They not only obtained the food inspection certificates and export permits for the food factory and cannery, but they even went to visit the comrade who drew the diagram.
However, Fu Wan's intention to recruit him cannot be realized for the time being, because that young man is still in university!
Helpless, Wang Jianmin could only leave her his contact information and tell her to remember to come to the cannery if she was interested in the future.
Hearing that everything was proceeding smoothly, Fu Wan finally felt relieved.
The trade fair is scheduled for Saturday, which means Fu Wan will only have two days to rest before taking Wang Jianmin and the others to Shanghai.
Longhai City is not far from Shanghai, at least not as far as Beijing.
Fu Wan entrusted the task of booking the train tickets to Fu Jian, and only after hanging up the phone did she head home.
When Ye Xiaocui got home, she was holding a snow crab, looking a bit confused.
Seeing Fu Wan return, she quickly called her daughter over.
"Ah Wan, this crab is so big! How are we going to eat it?"
Ye Xiaocui had never eaten snow crab before. The usual mud crabs and flower crabs were never this big.
It was rare to see Ye Xiaocui, who was usually a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen, at a loss when it came to the ingredients. Fu Wan laughed twice before introducing Ye Xiaocui to the snow crab.
She originally wanted to help cook dinner, but Ye Xiaocui felt sorry for her daughter and kicked her out of the kitchen.
Fu Wan had no choice but to go inside and watch TV with her daughters. The only things she brought back were fish and her own luggage.
Ye Xiaocui didn't touch it, but put it aside.
Fu Wan only realized she had forgotten to call the campsite when she saw her luggage.
It was almost eight o'clock by then, so she decided to rest for the night and go straight to the camp tomorrow.
The next morning, after dropping her child off at school, she went to find Sun Shao-ping, only to be told by the guard that he had gone to a meeting!
This left Fu Wan speechless. She had only taken a break this once, but she hadn't expected to end up with nothing.
Sun Shao-ping wasn't there, and she didn't trust anyone else, so after thinking about it, she simply went to the camp's infirmary.
Inside the clinic, Bai Qianzhou, wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around her neck, was changing the dressing on a man's arm.
Seeing that he was busy, Fu Wan simply stood outside and waited.
Her clothes and demeanor were different from others, so naturally, some people noticed her presence.
Who is that person?
Fu Wan's ears twitched, and she heard the murmurs not far away.
The person asking the question was a female doctor, also wearing a white coat. She initially thought it was a patient's family member, but after hearing the nurse's explanation of Fu Wan's identity, she frowned even more.
"Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
Fu Wan looked up and met the female doctor's scrutinizing gaze, then smiled gracefully.
"Oh, no, thank you. I'm waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?"
Su Luo actually knew who Fu Wan was waiting for, but she also wanted to see what made this fisherwoman, whom Uncle Sun and Bai Qianzhou looked at with such special regard, so unique.
Now it seems that this person is not as reserved as other ordinary fishermen. He has bright eyes and a smiling face that makes people feel good.
So it's because of this person that Bai Qianzhou always works like crazy and then gets several days off at a time?
God knows how busy she was all by herself when Bai Qianzhou wasn't around!
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qianzhou opened the door of the consultation room and walked out.
"Wait for me. Xiao Xu, the patients inside are recovering well. Check if there are any other patients. I'll be back in half an hour."
He took off his gloves, gave instructions to the nurse, nodded to Su Luo, and then reached out to pick up something Fu Wan had placed aside and gestured to her.
"Ah Wan, let's go to my office to talk."
"good."
Fu Wan responded, gave Su Luo an apologetic smile, and then followed Bai Qianzhou to the office.
Bai Qianzhou was pleasantly surprised and taken aback by Fu Wan's arrival, but he wasn't stupid. After a little thought, he guessed that Fu Wan must have come for something else.
He is a doctor, and he always subconsciously observes other people's physical condition.
Fu Wan had some bruises under her eyes, clearly indicating she hadn't rested well.
Fu Wan glanced around the office and saw no one else. After thinking for a moment, she opened the cloth bag she had brought.
“I went into the water a few days ago and pulled up a few more things.”
