After such a long day, Fu Wan was exhausted.
After watching the comrades from the camp sail away, Boss Fu finally came to his senses.
"Awan, you should go back quickly, your mother is probably still awake."
There's still some seafood left to unload from the ship. Your brother and I will come back as soon as we're done."
Fu Wan thought that the fish on her boat had already been unloaded, but she didn't expect that it wasn't finished yet.
But she couldn't be bothered to oversee the unloading of the fish.
"Dad, did you hire people to unload the fish from the boat? Everyone's exhausted. Don't forget to give them some fish so they can all go home early!"
Especially Uncle Chen, his home is far away!
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu nodded. It was already 10 p.m., and everyone hadn't had dinner yet. They were putting all their energy into unloading cargo at the dock.
They had originally planned to have dinner on the boat, but after what happened that afternoon, they were no longer in the mood.
Fortunately, none of the animals were hurt.
Upon hearing that Fu Wan had returned, Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and the others were eager to come and see her in person before they could feel at ease.
But there are too many fish here, and they all need to be weighed and loaded onto the truck one by one, so I can't spare the time right now.
When she got home, Fu Wan could see the orange lights in her yard through the gate.
Wangcai, who was lying in the yard, immediately noticed footsteps and ran to the gate.
"Woof!"
As soon as I called out, I saw a familiar figure push the door open and come in.
Wangcai's ears went weak instantly, and it rushed forward wagging its tail.
Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Ye Xiaocui quickly leaned out to check.
"Ah Wan?"
"You're back?!"
Ye Xiaocui was both surprised and delighted. She heard that Fu Liang and the others had returned at seven o'clock.
But as soon as Fu Liang returned, he abandoned the fish on the boat and went straight to the village committee, asking the old village chief to contact the police.
This guy sailed at the fastest speed he'd ever seen in his life, and with the engine and other equipment also improved, he reached the dock in less than four hours, covering a journey that would normally take five hours.
However, as soon as the police contacted the coast guard, they were told that it was already being handled, so Fu Liang was unable to help much.
On the contrary, Chen Balang, a member of the Coast Guard, deserves a lot of credit.
Chen Balang and his group arrived at the dock half an hour later. To their surprise, Boss Fu's boat arrived at the dock an hour later.
However, Fu Wan wasn't on the ship.
Knowing that Fu Wan had been asked by Leader Sun to help, Ye Xiaocui felt relieved.
She bought some fish from Boss Fu and then went home to boil a large stainless steel pot full of water.
Fu Wan came back just in time to take a shower.
Fu Wan wasn't in a hurry to go; she clutched her rumbling stomach and acted pitiful towards Ye Xiaocui.
"Mom, is there any food? Your daughter is starving!"
"Yes, yes, yes, just wait, I'll pack it for you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaocui quickly brought her clean bowls and chopsticks.
Otherwise, a rice cooker would be much more convenient. Ye Xiaocui had anticipated that they would be hungry when they got back, so she steamed a pot of hot rice as soon as they arrived.
Even the dishes were kept warm in a large pot by steaming them.
While Ye Xiaocui was serving the rice, Fu Wan lifted the pot lid and almost drooled.
Good heavens, they even have steamed buns!
The sun must have risen in the west, and her mother still dared to use white flour to make steamed buns!
Ignoring the heat, Fu Wan immediately picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth. After taking a bite, her eyes widened in surprise.
Seaweed buns again!
A burst of fresh, sweet seaweed flavor spread through her mouth, accompanied by the tenderness of pork and the sweetness of cabbage. Fu Wan finished a large steamed bun in a few bites, and seeing that there were still quite a few left in the bowl, she picked up another one.
"Wan, the food is ready. What are you doing?"
Ye Xiaocui packed her daughter's food in the main room, but when she turned around, she couldn't find her daughter who had been crying out for food.
She carried the bowl of rice back to the kitchen, only to see Fu Wan wolfing down a steamed bun.
Oh my, they look like they're starving!
Ye Xiaocui immediately felt so sorry for her that her eyes welled up with tears, and she put several more pieces of braised pork ribs that she had made herself on her plate.
"Eat quickly, it's still warm."
Fu Wan swallowed the bun in her mouth. After eating two buns, she wasn't so hungry anymore.
"Mom, where did you get this seaweed to make steamed buns?"
Ye Xiaocui smiled and said, "While you were out at sea getting seafood, we weren't idle at home either!"
Lingling and Mingzhu wanted to go out and play, so your aunt and I discussed it and decided to go beachcombing with a few other girls from the village.
It was quite a coincidence; this morning, as the tide receded, a lot of seaweed was hanging on the rocks by the sea. This stuff doesn't keep well, but I figured I had nothing else to do, so I made some seaweed buns.
"You weren't here at noon today, so a few of us ate seaweed dumplings!"
It seems like they live a life of luxury at home!
Seaweed is a common green algae found along the coast, also known as sea lettuce. It can be used in salads, soups, and is incredibly delicious in buns and dumplings.
Seeing her daughter engrossed in eating, Ye Xiaocui picked up the thermos next to her and poured her a cup of warm water.
"Eat slowly, don't rush."
Fu Wan nodded and swallowed the food in her mouth.
"Mom, how did you cook this? Why don't you come with me to sea? This food is so delicious!"
Ye Xiaocui was in a particularly good mood because of what she said. "Why are you making it sound so mysterious? You eat first, I'll go to the room and see if the child has lifted the blanket."
Only after Ye Xiaocui mentioned this did Fu Wan remember that she still had a child.
I'm so busy I'm dizzy.
She quickly finished the last bite of rice, then picked up a piece of pickled cabbage and stuffed it into her mouth before putting the pot lid back on.
Boss Fu and the others haven't returned yet; we can't let the food get cold.
After washing the dishes, Fu Wan went back to the room to take a look. Her daughters were sleeping soundly, their cheeks rosy.
I hadn't looked closely for a while, and only then did I realize that Fu Ling's hair had grown quite a bit.
When we go back to the county, we can buy them some pretty hair accessories.
After seeing the child, Fu Wan carried a bucket of hot water to the backyard and washed herself from head to toe.
When I came out drying my hair, Boss Fu and the others had also returned.
"Dad, the food is in the pot, eat it while it's hot."
Boss Fu responded and then called to Fu Mingye and the others to go wash their hands.
Seeing that everyone had returned, Ye Xiaocui and Fu Wan took all the dishes out of the pot.
"Hey, where's Ah Liang?"
Ye Xiaocui came out with the bowl and chopsticks, only to find that she didn't see Fu Liang.
Fu Ming hadn't even swallowed his steamed bun when he heard this, and replied, "He went home, saying that his aunt was waiting for him there."
"Mom, do you still have any seaweed? I'll make some tomorrow and send some to Anning and Xiaobai!"
Ye Xiaocui's attention was instantly diverted. "Yes, there's still more than half a bucket left. I've washed them all and kept them in water."
"Then let's make some together tomorrow, and make a lot more so that my uncle and the others can take some back with them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin immediately nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I'll bring some more flour over later!"
Ye Xiaocui refused immediately. "No need, we still have plenty of flour at home. Awan bought dozens of kilograms last time."
Seeing that Boss Fu had almost finished eating, Fu Wan poured him some white wine. After a long day, a little wine would help him sleep better that night.
"Dad, have Uncle Chen and Brother Dahai shared the fish with them yet?"
