The crowd ignored Xue Qing, and he dared not retort because of Old Liu's presence.
Chen Long and Zhao Gang secretly discussed that they would report back as soon as they got back, and that even if Xue Qing was transferred immediately, they would make sure he left the team.
Before long, Fu Wan was standing on the boat and could see the dock not far away.
Village Chief Fu looked at the sky full of clouds, a hint of worry on his face.
"It looks like another typhoon is coming."
Hearing him say that, Fu Wan also looked up at the sky.
The sky, which was cloudless before we set sail, had been covered by clouds, most of which were white and feather-like or horse-tail-like.
Experienced fishermen can tell at a glance that when these clouds gradually thicken into denser cirrus clouds, it means that a typhoon may be approaching.
"The radio said there was a typhoon a few days ago, so I told everyone not to go out to sea. Luckily, there was no wind when we went out to salvage today."
He checked the weather for a long time before leaving home in the morning; otherwise, he would never have let them go out to sea to salvage today.
"Comrade Fu, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhao Gang walked over and coughed twice. Fu Wan knew he wanted the yellow croaker, so she handed it to him without thinking much of it.
"Take this fish if you need it."
Wild yellow croakers are rare, let alone the one that Fu Wan had, which probably weighed three or four pounds.
But she lives so close to the sea that she can go down to the sea to find fish whenever she wants, although large yellow croakers are a bit hard to find.
Zhao Gang was surprised that Fu Wan was so easy to talk to, so he immediately asked Village Chief Fu, "What is the price range for this kind of fish? We'll go with the market price."
Village Chief Fu didn't mince words either, "I haven't seen big yellow croakers at the dock for a long time, I estimate they'll cost eight yuan a pound."
Eight yuan a pound might be very cheap now, but in the 1980s, pork cost less than one yuan a pound.
The workers only earn a few dozen yuan a month.
"This fish weighs about three or four pounds. I'll give you fifty yuan to buy it!"
He's treating people to dinner tomorrow, and this fish is the grand finale dish.
Yellow croaker is a rare treat, and he wouldn't let Fu Wan suffer any loss.
Fifty yuan for a yellow croaker? Fu Wan was more than willing to pay and deliver the fish on the spot.
Zhao Gang happily snatched the small bucket from Bai Qianzhou's hand. This little Bai is really strange, why does he act as a fish protector for no reason?
Now the fish is his; let's see how this little white fish will protect it.
"Or, you could carry it?"
Bai Qianzhou seemed oblivious to the mockery on Zhao Gang's face. He took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and stood aside nonchalantly, not even glancing at Zhao Gang's disrespectful behavior.
At this moment, the ship also docked.
"Mother!"
Shen Lingling shouted on the dock, and Fu Wan heard her and quickly waved to her.
"That's my mom! My mom is amazing!"
While excitedly watching Fu Wan standing on the big ship, Shen Lingling didn't forget to introduce her to her friends.
"Comrade Fu, after you go back, we will also escort the experts and these things back. You can reconsider the work."
"Comrade Zhao, our place is too far from the county seat, and my home is here, so it might not be very convenient."
She thought about it for a long time: either the whole family would go to the county, or they wouldn't go at all.
She believes that with her own and her family's efforts, one day they will be able to settle down in the county or even the city.
Zhao Gang felt a little disappointed when she refused.
Haven't you considered taking on part-time jobs?
Bai Qianzhou suddenly appeared from the side.
Why is he everywhere?
But what does "part-time job" mean?
Seeing that Zhao Gang and Fu Wan were somewhat puzzled, Bai Qianzhou explained, "It's like how I was originally a staff member at the city's drug research institute, and now I'm doing research at the county hospital as a part-time job."
In fact, his situation was not a part-time job in the strict sense, but rather what is now called a temporary transfer.
"Comrade Fu Wan can work when the Fisheries Administration needs her, and stay in the village normally."
This suggestion caught the attention of both Zhao Gang and Fu Wan. "I'll go back and discuss it. If there are any follow-ups, I'll call your village chief."
No matter what, he has to take office first.
Fu Wan nodded, and after the boat came to a stop, she and Village Chief Fu disembarked.
Old Liu stroked his mustache, watching the dock recede into the distance.
“This small fishing village is full of hidden talents. Remember to report Comrade Fu’s achievements. The rewards and praise should be appropriate. We can’t let our comrade work for nothing.”
Zhao Gang and Chen Long both agreed.
Shen Lingling was waiting at the dock with Boss Fu, while Ye Xiaocui and Fu Ming were preparing lunch at home.
"Gouwa, your daughter is truly remarkable. She's the pride of our Fu family village!"
The village chief didn't reveal the purpose of their trip today at all; all he could do now was keep praising them.
Fu Wan felt quite embarrassed and quickly made her escape with Chen Lingling and her friends.
"Mom, shall we take Xiaohong to our house for a visit?"
Chen Lingling held Fu Wan's hand in one hand and Xiao Hong's hand in the other.
Xiao Hong is the granddaughter of the Fu family next door, and she is Shen Lingling's new friend in Fu Family Village.
The little girl is about the same age as Chen Lingling. Because she is the only granddaughter in the family, she is also very beautiful.
"Lingling's mom, can I play at your house for a while before going home?"
Fu Wan was completely charmed by the child, especially Xiao Hong, who had such big, blinking eyes—she was just too adorable!
"Okay, okay, come to my house and I'll get you some candy!"
"Yay, let's go home and eat candy!"
Shen Lingling skipped and hopped forward with Xiao Hong in her hand, while Fu Wan followed behind with a smile. However, she did not see Wang Zhaodi not far behind her, who was staring at her with a sinister look through the window.
After Fu Qiang was taken to the police station, he never returned. However, several police officers went to his home and found a large half-full barrel of diesel fuel under his bed.
Old Mrs. Wang fell ill and was bedridden after being ridiculed by her neighbors. Wang Zhaodi felt sorry for her son's suffering, but she also had to be bossed around by the resentful Old Mrs. Wang and Fu Lao Er.
She was tidying up the house by the window when she heard Fu Wan's voice, and that worthless thing she brought with her, saying something about going home to get candy.
A bunch of despicable people! They caused her son to go to jail and made her suffer every day!
Wang Zhaodi gripped the broom tightly with all her might. Fu Shi, who had intended to come in to get something, saw her expression and quickly turned away.
The atmosphere in the house is getting more and more oppressive. Fu Shi now wishes he could live and eat in the fields to avoid coming back to face his three gloomy family members.
If we were to say who in the Fu family still has any humanity, it would probably be Fu Shi. He was taught from a young age to always give way to Fu Qiang, the eldest grandson, which fostered his timid and cowardly nature.
While being timid and fearful is not a virtue, at least he won't covet other people's things or harm others.
He had always admired his uncle, Boss Fu, since he was a child.
Fu Lao Er had just returned when he ran into Fu Shi, who was about to leave with his head down. He hadn't paid much attention to his youngest son before, but now he remembered that his eldest brother seemed to treat the boy quite well.
"Third brother, go ask your eldest uncle if he can get the police to release your brother!"
