Looking at the names and date on the marriage certificate, Fu Wan couldn't help but marvel at how quickly the two of them had acted.
Although it may seem absurd, it did happen.
Fu Wan felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart at this moment.
To think that one's own friend would marry one's own brother, even though it was to help Qin Anning out of her predicament, was a bit too frivolous in this era.
However, as long as the person involved is willing, everything is fine; after all, they are not children anymore.
"Big brother, what are your plans now?"
Fu Ming scratched his head, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"I don't have any plans. I'll do whatever Comrade Xiao Qin says."
"Oh, by the way, she rushed back to ask for leave right after getting the marriage certificate, planning to take the train to Beijing tomorrow to transfer her household registration. Awan, I need to talk to Dad and ask him to give me my savings book!"
After Fu Ming finished speaking, he rushed into the house to find Boss Fu, while Fu Wan stayed behind, pondering in her mind.
She can go to the capital too!
However, she wasn't going to join in the newlyweds' fun; rather, she wanted to take the box of pink pearls and the red stone she had brought from last time to the capital to have them seen.
Moreover, she hadn't visited the courtyard houses she bought last time for over a month. Although Master Ning was helping to look after them, she still wanted to go and see them.
On the other hand, even though Fu Ming didn't say it at first, Boss Fu was still planning to return his savings book to him.
"Let's get this straight first, the money in this savings account is the money I earned from going to sea during this period. Use it as you see fit, and don't skimp on buying things for Xiao Qin."
Your mother and I won't give you any more money for now. We'll find someone to furnish your room.
Fu Ming nodded in agreement. He had no interest in Boss Fu's retirement money, not to mention that besides the savings account, he also had two gold bricks in his room as a backup plan.
Fu Ming didn't know how much money was in his savings account. Since he had enough to eat and drink at home, he never worried about it.
When he received the passbook, he glanced at it unconsciously and was so shocked by the amount on it that his eyes almost popped out.
"Dad...you really didn't put any money in there?"
With tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions, he actually had more than ten thousand in his savings account!
He's actually a millionaire?!
Fu Laoda glared at him irritably, "This much money is because some of the earnings from the recent sea voyages were shared with you. Last time, with that giant grouper, Awan had Fu San transfer the lion's share to you!"
That grouper was caught by Fu Ming, and it sold for a full three thousand yuan. Fu Wan got a few hundred yuan, and the rest went to Fu Ming.
However, Fu Ming's assets are actually far more than that. The main source of income from his recent voyages was yellow croaker, but half of this huge sum is currently held by Fu Wan and the other half by Fu Laoda, with the plan to distribute it all at the end of the year.
Fu Ming didn't think much of it and stuffed the passbook into his pocket.
"Father, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the banquet arrangements from now on."
Comrade Qin and I are going to Beijing tomorrow night; we'll discuss the banquet later.
Boss Fu hadn't expected them to leave so quickly, and frowned as he thought for a few seconds.
"Holding a banquet is a small matter. You can discuss the time with Comrade Qin later. She's a very busy person, so you don't know when she'll be free."
"You're going to Beijing tomorrow night, have you bought the tickets yet?"
Fu Ming shook his head, "I'll go buy it first thing tomorrow morning."
Fu Laoda sighed, "Then you can go with your aunt and the others."
Fu Ming was somewhat surprised. He knew that Fu Fengying would leave sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
During the day, Fu Fengying told Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui about their visas expiring. The three middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair could not escape the sadness of parting and wiped away several tears.
However, Boss Fu would definitely not tell his son this, and only vaguely said, "Your aunt has to go to the capital to take a plane back to America. You can look after each other on the train."
That's not a big problem, Fu Ming readily agreed.
Just then, Fu Wan walked into the main house and said to Fu Ming, "Big brother, when you go to buy train tickets tomorrow, buy one for me too."
"Ah Wan, are you going to the capital too?"
Fu Laoda was a little puzzled, as he hadn't heard his daughter mention this before.
Fu Wan nodded, "Yes, I had been thinking of taking that pearl to the capital to see Third Master Ning, and now it's a good time to go together."
The weather is crisp and clear right now, making it the best season to visit Beijing. Any later, and it will get terribly cold.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Boss Fu didn't say anything more.
"Then you all be careful and come back soon."
"Okay. Dad, why don't you come with us and have some fun? You haven't seen the courtyard house I bought yet."
Fu Wan suddenly had a brilliant idea: why don't we all go together as a family?
Boss Fu was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head. "The new house is almost finished, and we can't leave this place unattended."
Let's wait until next year. I'll definitely go next year.
He definitely wants to visit Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall.
Hearing what Boss Fu said, Fu Wan and Fu Ming could only feel regret, but thinking that the new house would be completed soon, they were happy again.
...
Time flew by and it was already the afternoon of the next day. Not long after lunch, Ye Xiaocui and Fu Fengying got busy.
This time, they prepared more than just dried shrimp to eat along the way; Ye Xiaocui also prepared some dry rations for the journey.
The well-cooked cornbread, paired with the canned fish that Fu Wan brought back from the cannery, was definitely the most delicious thing on the train.
Qin Anning arrived at the door around 3 p.m. Unlike the previous times, she looked noticeably more uneasy this time.
She only breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Fu Wan still treated her the same way.
"Ah Wan, I'm sorry, I still..."
Fu Wan patted her hand, "An Ning, as I said, you just need to think it through."
She wasn't against Qin Anning and Fu Ming getting together, but she was worried that they would act impulsively and end up making things unpleasant.
Qin Anning had spent a considerable amount of time with Fu Wan, so she naturally understood Fu Wan's concerns.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not hold Brother Fu back. If he falls in love with someone else a year from now, I will divorce him without hesitation."
Despite saying that, a hint of sadness still flashed in Qin Anning's eyes.
The thought of Fu Ming falling for someone else filled her with mixed emotions.
Fu Wan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Goodness, it turns out these two haven't revealed their true feelings yet. Qin Anning doesn't even know that her older brother has feelings for her!
However, Fu Wan didn't want to get too involved in other people's relationships.
"You two get to know each other. If my brother bullies you, tell me and I'll stand up for you!"
Women are often at a disadvantage in marriage, and Fu Wan, as a woman herself, can empathize with this even more.
Upon hearing this, Qin Anning's face, which had been somewhat sad, immediately broke into a smile.
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that!"
