Let alone respecting Master Fu, even if it were Boss Fu's face, if he couldn't do anything and just wanted to loaf around, Fu Wan wouldn't agree to it.
Grandpa Fu muttered a few words, still feeling ashamed.
Feeling embarrassed to stay any longer at Elder Fu's house, he turned around and headed back.
Fu Wan and her family still remembered Grandpa Fu's kindness to them. When Fu Wan first went out to sea to fish, Grandpa Fu had told her a lot of things to be careful about.
Even before Fu Wan returned, the old man took out his savings and asked Ye Xiaocui to take Fu Ming to see a doctor.
Although it's only a few dozen yuan, in this world, there are really not many people who offer help in times of need.
Fu Wan turned her head and picked up a bowl of spicy snails and red snails. "Grandpa, you can take these snails home and eat them!"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Fu waved his hands, "No, no, how could I possibly have the face to eat your food!"
"Don't be so polite with yourself!"
Fu Laoda took the bowl from Fu Wan's hand and, without saying a word, helped Fu Daye up.
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
It rained a few days ago, and the road was full of potholes. Boss Fu was worried that the old man might accidentally fall.
Old Master Fu looked like he couldn't refuse, so Grandpa Fu could only let him help him back.
Seeing that the excitement had subsided, Fu Wan took out her car keys and prepared to go to the county town.
"Mom, I won't be eating at home for lunch. I'm going to the factory to check on things."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaocui initially wanted Fu Wan to have lunch before going out, but seeing how busy the girl was, she was too lazy to persuade her.
However, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pulled Fu Wan aside to ask, "Wan, has your brother Lin been helping out at the factory lately?"
Fu Wan scratched her head. "I really didn't know about this."
When Ye Lin has free time, he does go to the factory to help out.
Ye Xiaocui found an empty bucket and filled it with a lot of whelks and snails, saying with certainty, "I should go. I heard A-Liang and your father mention it."
"Perfect, take these conch shells. If you run into your brother Ah Lin, ask him to take them back for your uncle and his family to try!"
Ye Xiaocui also missed her family. In fact, her family didn't only have Ye Jianguo as a brother.
Hunters make a living by hunting, and the dangers they face are real.
Ye Xiaocui was the only daughter in the family. Ye Jianguo had an older brother and a younger brother, both of whom died in accidents after encountering wild animals while hunting in the mountains.
When they were poor, Ye Xiaocui didn't want Ye Jianguo to worry, so she didn't contact her family much. Now that her family's situation has improved, she occasionally thinks of sending them things.
Spicy whelks are best enjoyed blanched or salt-baked with alcohol, and even better when paired with rice wine brewed by Li Chunhua herself.
Fu Wan could understand her mother's thoughts, so she didn't refuse and carried the buckets of seafood onto the jeep.
Besides the conch, Ye Xiaocui also packed some dried cuttlefish and dried squid that she had dried recently.
Dried cuttlefish is delicious when stewed with chicken or bone broth. As for dried squid, if Ye Jianguo and his friends don't know what to cook, they can soak dried squid in water, stir-fry it with some chili peppers, and it's also a very good dish.
Since Fu Ming had nothing else to do, Fu Wan simply conscripted men. Fang Min was unaware that Fu Wan had returned; she and Fu Qing had been helping out at the aquaculture area recently.
Fu Wan thought for a moment and then didn't call her. She drove herself and Fu Ming to the county town.
When Fu Wan returned the day before yesterday, she didn't realize how difficult the roads in the village were to drive. But now, as she headed out of the village to the county town, she discovered that the roads were full of potholes due to the rain and typhoon.
Jeeps have a high chassis, but if you were riding a bicycle, it would require considerable skill.
The bumpy ride didn't stop until we left the area around Fujia Village and reached the road leading to the county town.
"Ouch, my butt is numb. I wonder when our village will get paved roads."
Fu Ming couldn't help but marvel at how his casual remark had given Fu Wan a spark of inspiration.
Why doesn't the village build roads? Because they don't have the money!
These days, if people can eat their fill and occasionally have meat, that's considered a comfortable life. Where would they get the money to repair roads?
The national plan for rural revitalization won't be implemented anytime soon; we'll have to wait until the government helps build roads, and who knows how long that will take.
"Brother, what do you think about me paying for the road repairs in the village?"
Fu Wan asked casually, but Fu Ming thought he had misheard.
"What? You're paying for the village road repairs?"
“Yes,” Fu Wan nodded affirmatively, “You just experienced it yourself. Whenever it rains or the wind blows, the roads in the village become mud puddles.”
We young people are a bit better off, but if we encounter older people like Grandpa Fu, or children like Lingling, we could easily fall down.
Just think, if the roads in our village are repaired, cars and buses will be able to come here more easily.
Remember those people in Shanghai a while back? If they actually came to visit the village, they'd probably turn around and leave as soon as they saw these muddy roads at the entrance.
Fu Wan explained patiently, and Fu Ming found it all very reasonable.
But then he thought about it and felt something was off.
If Fu Wan were to be in charge of all the road repairs, would the villagers remember her kindness?
These days, there are people who resent the rich. For example, when Yu Guixiang donated money to Fu Dazhi, she naturally felt that Fu Wan and the others should donate more.
Thinking this way, Fu Ming naturally said it.
To everyone's surprise, Fu Wan simply smiled indifferently after hearing this.
"Brother, in this life, you'll meet all sorts of people. We're not a united group, and it's impossible for everyone to like us."
I've always believed that as long as you live with a clear conscience, that's enough. If some people don't appreciate your kindness, then let them be!
At least, we built the road, and most people are certainly grateful for that. Moreover, the road also makes it easier to transport the products from the aquaculture area out of the water.
"By the way, it would be best if the village chief could approve some more land for residential construction. We need to build a few hotels and guesthouses so that tourists will have places to stay."
After Fu Wan finished speaking, Fu Ming seemed to have already seen what the future of Fu Family Village would look like when tourism and fishing were both open. At that time, everyone's life would definitely be prosperous.
"Okay, I support you. Count me in when you help with road construction!"
Although he doesn't have much money, he's still young and can continue to earn it.
He also believed that his wife would definitely agree with the idea.
Fu Wan shook her head upon hearing this, "You don't need to pay for road repairs, brother. You should prepare the money to build a hotel instead. Once the hotel is up and running, you'll be making money even while you're lying down."
"Hehe, is there really such a good thing?"
Fu Mingguang chuckled at the thought. By now, their car was very close to the county town, and there was a river not far away. Fu Wan glanced casually out the window.
The next second, she slammed on the brakes.
