Fu Ming looked a little uncomfortable when his father mentioned that he was going to hold his own banquet.
"Ahem, I'll ask Anning about this later."
Ye Xiaocui nodded hurriedly, "We should ask. Anning is busy now because she's following the organization's arrangements. Amin, you have to be understanding of her."
To be honest, Ye Xiaocui still finds it hard to believe that Qin Anning and her son have registered their marriage.
What a wonderful girl! So educated and with a job, how could she be interested in her own son?
She knew that Qin Anning had transferred Qin Mingzhu's household registration to her own name, but she didn't know that the prerequisite for transferring household registration was that Qin Anning was already married.
Qin Anning assumed that Ye Xiaocui and the others knew, but Fu Ming and Fu Wan tacitly avoided mentioning it.
Bringing it up won't change anything; it will only cause Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui worry.
Not long after lunch, Fang Min brought Fu Qing over. Upon seeing the mountain of bamboo in the yard, Fang Min immediately rolled up her sleeves and joined the battle.
"Ah Wan, do we have to saw all these bamboos apart and make them into bamboo traps?"
Fu Wan was busy applying oil to the bamboo tubes when she heard this, and immediately nodded.
Fang Min received a response, picked up the saw, and started working. Fu Qing, who was standing next to her, wasn't idle either. Fu Wan casually looked up and saw him looking for bamboo with a saw.
"Aqing, come here and help me apply the oil."
Good heavens, this girl is like a child; Fu Wan would never dare let her use a saw.
At this time, the saw was not electric, but rather a combination of several pieces of wood and hemp rope.
It looks like the Chinese character "日" (sun), but the serrations at the bottom are extremely sharp. If you're not careful, you could injure your leg or hand, and Fu Wan wouldn't be able to explain it to Wang Xiuer. (Image of a woodworking saw mesh, rarely seen nowadays.) Fortunately, Fu Qing is obedient. After Fu Wan said that, she obediently sat down beside her and, imitating Fu Wan, brushed some shrimp oil onto each bamboo tube.
Actually, the oiling wasn't just to help the bamboo tubes catch more octopuses. They also had to sort the bamboo tubes during the process. Tubes with several cracks were not worth keeping; they were simply dried, chopped up, and used as firewood.
There was a lot of work going on in the yard. Wangcai, who was lying on the ground sleeping, suddenly twitched its ears, sniffed, and looked at the door.
"Woof woof woof awoof awoof!"
"Hey, your dog's bark is truly unique!"
Fu Jian walked in with a smile, which surprised Fu Wan.
"Brother Jian, what brings you here?"
Fu Jian scratched his head. "I heard from your dad that you're going out to sea in the next couple of days. Awan, take me with you!"
"Is Brother Ajian willing to go to sea?"
"Of course I'm willing, why wouldn't I?"
Fu Jian felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, Fu Wan had asked him to prepare for the breeding. He had learned quite a bit during this time, but it was the dead of winter, and he couldn't put the breeding equipment in so soon.
There are still a month or two until spring; how could he possibly stay home and eat plain rice for so long?
But Fu Wan knew that Fu Jian didn't like going to sea, otherwise the old village chief's fishing boat wouldn't have ended up sunbathing at the dock every day.
So she never intended for Fu Jian to go to sea with her in the first place.
"Brother Jian, what did you do at the garment factory before?"
Fu Wan's question caught Fu Jian off guard. He subconsciously replied, "I work in the sales department, and I occasionally help out in the logistics department."
"Logistical assistance?"
Fu Wan was somewhat puzzled.
"It's just that sometimes when goods arrive, the factory doesn't have enough manpower, so we grown men have to go out and move the goods!"
After this explanation, Fu Wanke understood.
After a moment's thought, she realized where Fu Jian had gone.
“Brother Jian, I don’t think you’re suitable to go out to sea with us.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Jian immediately became anxious, "Where is it unsuitable? I can do anything."
Fu Wan gestured for him to calm down, "Don't rush, I have something else for you to do."
She patted the dust off her hands and washed them in the bucket next to her.
Then she pulled Fu Jian aside and said, "Brother Jian, listen to me first."
I know you've never really enjoyed going to sea, so I don't think you need to force yourself to do something you don't like.
Fu Jian smiled wryly. When you're broke, you can't be picky about what you like or dislike when it comes to work.
Just as he was about to say something, Fu Wan interrupted him again.
"I don't know if you know, but I bought a cannery in the county, right next to the county shipyard."
As you know, this sea voyage will take several days. Since you're going to the cannery, I'll give you the keys to the tricycle. You can check with the factory later to see if they need any deliveries or anything.
If you prefer sales, I'll talk to Uncle Wang later and have him arrange it.
Fu Jian's mind went blank when he heard Fu Wan's words.
Is he dreaming?
Fu Jian pinched his palm hard, and the next second he winced in pain.
"Wan, you're really amazing! I didn't even know you owned a cannery."
Fu Wan smiled playfully, "That's not my fault, even the village chief knows about it."
I refuse to believe that your family hasn't eaten canned fish from our Five-Star Canned Food Factory!
Fu Jian suddenly realized that the canned food his daughter had finished eating a couple of days ago, which she had even poured into the jar to rummage through, was actually produced by Fu Wan's cannery!
Looking at Fu Wan, who was much younger than him, and thinking about her achievements, Fu Jian felt incredibly envious. It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
Seeing that Fu Jian was staring at her without saying a word, Fu Wan thought that he didn't want to go.
"Don't you want to go to the cannery? If you don't want to go..."
"No, no, I'm willing, I'm definitely willing!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Jian quickly shook his head and replied that if he was unwilling, then he must be completely out of his mind.
With Chen Guifang and Wang Jianmin already at the cannery, and now with the addition of Fu Jian, Fu Wan felt more at ease about going to sea.
"Alright, it's getting late today. Tomorrow morning, after I drop the kids off at school, I'll take you to the factory."
Fu Jian listened and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, then I'll get ready and work hard at the cannery."
To be honest, he couldn't sleep at night. When he thought about how there wasn't much work to do at the farm, he also regretted a little that he had resigned from his job at the garment factory.
With Fu Wan's arrangements, he now feels capable again.
"Ah Wan, just you wait and see. I used to know quite a few clients at the garment factory. I'll go there more often and try to generate more business for the cannery!"
"That would be perfect."
The conversation was going well, and it was almost time for school to end.
Fu Wan took the motorcycle keys to pick up the child, but Fu Jian thought about it and decided to stay. He then turned around and joined Fang Min and the others in working in the yard.
He is now filled with enthusiasm, thinking only about how to repay Fu Wan.
Fu Ming, Fu Liang, and Ye Lin drove back in their tricycle with another load of bamboo. They were stunned to see so many people in the yard.
