Sun Shao-ping's efficiency was as reliable as ever. He consulted Fu Wan in the afternoon and bought her plane ticket for the next morning by evening.
Dinner was also eaten in the cafeteria. Fu Wan had just finished getting her food when Sun Shao Ping came over.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, the plane tickets are bought, but you have to go back alone. Xiao Bai and I are going to Fujian Province."
Fu Wan was surprised for two seconds, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, no problem."
With so many people and eyes in the cafeteria, Sun Shao-ping couldn't reveal their specific arrangements.
Although they wanted Bai Qianzhou and Fu Wan to go back and rest, receiving the gold coins was of great importance, and as a member of the camp, Bai Qianzhou should join in to better carry out the receiving work.
Fu Wan understood the reasoning after a little thought. There was nothing wrong with taking a plane back alone, especially in broad daylight. It was only a two-hour flight from Beijing to Longhai City.
Fu Wan's lack of objection was also within Sun Shaoping's expectations. Comrade Fu has always been highly conscious and would never cause trouble for the organization.
"But don't worry, we'll go to the airport together tomorrow. Our flight to Fujian is also tomorrow morning, with departure times less than an hour apart."
"Hey, I have to say, the braised pork here in the military region isn't as good as the one we get at our camp."
Like Fu Wan and the others, Sun Shaoping also used an aluminum lunchbox to get his food.
The food in the military canteen is more varied than that in the camp. Not to mention the dishes, there are rice, steamed buns, cornbread, sweet potatoes and other staple foods to choose from.
The main reason is that there are many people in the military region; the number of people in ten camps is not as large as here, so it is normal for there to be more variety.
In Fu Wan's eyes, who had just been eating white food for a week, the cafeteria food was already top-notch.
Of course, it would be even better if it were spicier.
After dinner, Fu Wan was taken by the female guard to a nearby guesthouse. This guesthouse was reserved for military personnel and was sometimes used by the families of comrades who came to visit.
It's very affordable because of the military subsidies.
The environment was not bad, but the weather was too cold, so Fu Wan was too lazy to even take a stroll and went inside early to prepare for bed.
After learning that he could not go back with Fu Wan, Bai Qianzhou divided his luggage into two parts.
Actually, there weren't many items. Sun Shao-ping had them disposed of after they entered the military area, including the masks and talismans used for disguise.
Before she knew it, it was the next morning. Perhaps because she wanted to go home, Fu Wan opened her eyes early, wishing she could fly to Longhai City immediately.
After a quick breakfast, someone drove Fu Wan and Sun Shao-ping to the airport.
"Awan, I've asked the commander to tell the camp that someone will be waiting for you at the exit after you get off the plane. He will take you back to the village."
"Is it true or not? Will it bother others?"
"No, the camp is more than willing. It's almost the end of the year, and tractors and other vehicles are picking up passengers near the train station. I'm afraid you won't be able to find a ride back for a while."
"Okay, thank you. Please be careful." Fu Wan waved goodbye to Bai Qianzhou and the others, carrying her luggage after security check.
"Come back for the New Year soon!"
"good!"
Fu Wan didn't have much luggage to take back, and because of the short time, she didn't even have time to visit the courtyard house.
Besides clothes, all she brought with her was the lure fishing rod Jack had given her, and two small gold coins.
She had originally given all the gold coins to Sun Shaoping for expert appraisal, but after returning from the visit of the high-ranking leader, Sun Shaoping gave her two more.
They said it was permitted by the higher-ups, and that she could keep it as a souvenir.
The two gold coins weighed no more than five grams in total, and Fu Wan readily accepted them after a moment's thought.
The two-hour flight passed in a flash, and Fu Wan was woken up by the flight attendant at a little after 11 a.m.
It was a bit cold at the guesthouse last night, but it was warm and crowded on the plane, so she fell into a deep sleep right away.
As soon as she got off the plane, there was indeed someone holding a sign waiting at the exit. Fu Wan walked over with her luggage, and when she saw who was holding the sign, she exclaimed in surprise.
"peaceful!"
"Wan! You're finally back!"
"Haha, missed me? Why are you the one picking me up today?"
That wretched Bai Qianzhou! She must have known all along that it was Qin Anning who was picking her up. No wonder that person had such a strange expression on their face when they parted this morning. It turns out she had a surprise for her!
"Hehe, I specifically told him not to say it. How about it, are you surprised or happy?"
"So happy, so incredibly happy!"
Fu Wan gave her a big hug. The moment she hugged Qin Anning, she truly felt that she had returned to Longhai City.
"Let's hurry up, my car is parked outside, my family is waiting for us for lunch!"
"good!"
Fu Wan nodded repeatedly, and the two of them carried their luggage out of the airport, talking non-stop the whole way.
"Anning, is it cold at home? How's everything at home lately?"
"Okay, everything's fine. It's not cold at home, but it's a bit cold by the sea. There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and there's still a lot of snow on the beach that hasn't melted yet!"
Qin Anning kept her eyes on the road ahead. Her driving skills were very proficient, and chatting did not hinder her driving at all.
Fu Wan was even more excited when she heard the news from home.
"After I left, did anyone from my family go out to sea?"
"This..." Qin Anning turned her head to look at Fu Wan, and seeing the confident expression on her face, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Brother Fu said he wouldn't let you know about going to sea, but Auntie said she definitely couldn't hide it from you."
This time, my aunt was right.
Haha, Fu Ming is such a noob, even a fool could tell they'd go out to sea!
With three ships docked at the pier, it would be strange if these people didn't go to sea.
"Ah Wan, you're not angry, are you?"
“Angry? No, I’m not angry. I didn’t let them go out to sea before for safety reasons. Now there are more than a dozen people on three ships, and my dad and Uncle Chen are with us, so of course I’m at ease.”
Seeing that Fu Wan didn't seem to be lying, Qin Anning breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she started talking about what she knew.
"The last time we went out to sea, we had a good catch. Brother Fu and his crew caught a lot of ribbonfish and mantis shrimp. Because they were worried that you wouldn't be able to come back for the New Year, and because it's snowing and we can't go out to sea these days, Brother Fu and his crew distributed the dividends and fish to everyone."
I happened to have some free time lately, so I helped with some of the accounts.
Speaking of this, Qin Anning couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. She only realized how much they could earn from fishing at sea when she was doing the accounting.
Fu Wan listened with great interest, but then realized something was amiss.
"How come you have time lately? Didn't you say your research project was at a critical juncture?"
"Haha, the research project is over. Our torpedoes are already in production, and the data for that big yellow croaker torpedo is also out, so the leader specially gave me a long vacation."
At this point, Qin Anning blushed slightly, "This long holiday plus annual leave is more than half a month. Your brother and I were discussing having the wedding when you came back. I thought we'd have to wait until after the New Year..."
Fu Wan was almost speechless with shock. Good heavens! During the time she was away from home, Fu Ming and Qin Anning had made such rapid progress!
