Wu An had just stepped out with the divided catch when he ran into Wu Yingwei, who had just returned.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why do you look so rushed?"
Wu Yingwei coughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just taking a walk."
Wu An was stunned.
Beside him, Old Meng, who was smoking, laughed and coughed: "Ah An, your dad heard you were back, so he came home with you."
Wu An suddenly realized.
Wu Yingwei lit a cigarette and casually asked, "How was this trip?"
Wu An nodded.
He walked over and handed a portion of the catch to Old Meng. Old Meng didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Okay, I'll cook it tonight. Your dad and I will have a big drink."
Seeing that Wu An was still carrying a bag, Wu Yingwei asked, "Are you going out again?"
Wu An said, "There are a few more to deliver."
"I won't be back for dinner tonight."
"Brother, keep an eye on things while you're out drinking tonight, don't let Dad and Lao Meng drink too much."
Wu Ping nodded.
Wu Yingwei frowned slightly, watching Wu An walk away humming a tune, before muttering a couple of words: "He's never home. Going out to sea is one thing, but even after he comes back, he's still running off. Doesn't he get tired?"
Wu Ping said, "Dad, An is busy with serious matters now, unlike before when he was just fooling around, so don't worry about him."
Wu Yingwei glared: "How can I not worry?"
Before Wu Ping could speak, Old Meng smiled and said, "Ping, your father isn't trying to control An, but he's worried that An will ruin his health. When he came over just now, I saw that his eyes were bloodshot."
"Young people can endure it, but they'll suffer when they get old."
Wu Ping suddenly realized: "Then I'll go and call A'an home."
Wu Yingwei waved his hand: "Don't make things worse."
Wu Ping: "How am I causing trouble..."
Old Meng laughed heartily, watching Mei Yueqin call Wu Ping away, and said, "With Ping's honest nature, I don't know how he managed to win Yueqin's heart back then."
"You're lucky."
“Aping is honest and his wife is virtuous. I don’t think you’ll need to help him in the future. On the contrary, you’ll be able to support the family.”
Wu Yingwei exhaled a smoke ring: "Sigh, what good fortune?"
"Now I have to take care of everything, big and small, in the village."
"A life of toil."
Old Meng smiled and nodded at him.
...
Wu An passed by Lao Meng's small shop, put down the seafood, and left.
I had just reached the entrance of the village.
Gu Anran arrived on her tricycle. From afar, their eyes met, and they were inseparable, as if they were glued together by super glue.
The car was moving very fast.
Gu Anran stopped abruptly when she reached him.
He lunged forward, his chest heaving, making Wu An dizzy.
"What are you standing there for?" Gu Anran parked the car, reached out and tugged at her clothes. She had been wearing them for a long time and they were starting to look a bit too big. If she moved too much, they would fall off. After straightening her clothes, she saw Wu An still standing there and said irritably, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and get in."
Wu An came to his senses; he wasn't bewitched, but rather just sleepy.
Although I slept on the ship, I could only sleep for short periods each time. My sleep was intermittent, and although the duration was sufficient, the quality was poor. Once I relaxed, I couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Put the seafood in the car.
Gu Anran moved aside and waited for Wu An to sit down. She looked at him carefully and saw that his eyes were bloodshot. She felt very sorry for him and asked, "You've been at sea for a day or two at a time. You don't even know how to rest in between."
Wu An looked around. There was no one on the road at this hour, so he had nothing to hold back. He put his arm around Gu Anran's waist, pulled her closer, and said, "I came to find you."
"Let me lean on you."
"Hmm... what did you put on your body? It smells so good."
Gu Anran was so embarrassed that she wanted to push him away but couldn't bear to. She could only let Wu An tease her and whispered, "I didn't put anything on it. This is just the smell of laundry detergent."
Wu An shook his head: "No, it's not just the smell of laundry detergent."
Gu Anran: "...What kind of smell could there be? I don't have any children!"
After saying that, she quickly pushed Wu An away.
A car is coming from ahead.
Gu Anran rode her bike and delivered the seafood home first. Wu An didn't get off the bike. If he saw the old lady, he would have to greet her and, if he was being enthusiastic, even have her drink tea, which would be too much trouble. Anyway, as long as the gift was given, that was enough.
Before Gu Anran could come out, Aunt Gu from next door came out to throw out the trash and saw him. She greeted him with a smile, "Hey, young man, here to see Anran?"
Wu An smiled and nodded, then got out of the car and greeted, "Auntie, didn't you go beachcombing?"
Aunt Gu said, "Why go beachcombing at this hour?"
Wu An asked, "Has Gu Jianfa returned in the last couple of days?"
Aunt Gu shook her head: "No."
"After the last incident, he hasn't come back."
"When are we going to your and Anran's wedding?"
Wu An smiled and said, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."
After chatting for a few minutes, the woman returned to her own yard.
Gu Anran came out and asked, "Did I hear you talking to someone at the door?"
Wu An nodded.
The two rode their bicycles towards the old house.
Gu Anran said, "The people who vandalized the milk tea shop, Officer Yu brought them to me to apologize and admit their mistakes, and they also paid me 5,000 yuan in compensation."
"They also promised not to cause any more trouble."
Wu An nodded.
The amount of money they smashed, including lost wages, probably wouldn't exceed two thousand yuan.
certainly.
Even including compensation for emotional distress, five thousand yuan isn't much.
It was his idea to release Gao Kang and his gang as soon as possible. A Jin also sent a message saying that Gao Kang and his gang had been reconnected. Now, all that's left is to wait and see what happens.
Wu An patiently asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Gu Anran shook her head, and seeing Wu An about to pounce on her, she quickly said, "I...I..."
Wu An looked at her with a smile.
Gu Anran closed her eyes: "Slow down."
She knew that once she came to the old house, there was no escaping it.
But it wasn't dark yet, so I felt a little embarrassed.
...
After dark.
Gu Anran got up and made some rice noodles, then forced Wu An to eat some.
After eating.
Gu Anran packed up and rode away on her bicycle.
Wu An didn't brush his teeth, turned over and went to sleep.
He was exhausted and sleepy. Gu Anran guessed that he would start snoring as soon as she started the car.
I slept until a little after five in the morning.
He lay in bed for a while, but he still couldn't calm down. He found it amazing that he was so tired in the afternoon, how could he recover so much energy after just one night?
In his previous life, he was in his thirties. Even if he did nothing for ten days or half a month, let alone cause any trouble, he would still be limp and weak like a worm in the morning.
Things will never be the same as they are now.
handy!
I took a piss, washed up, and went out.
While they were eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk, Ah Jin called, saying that someone he had arranged had seen Gu Jianfa and Guang Liangjun at Lao Tan's three-story building.
It's done!
Wu An was pleased to hear this, but also felt a little regretful.
If he hadn't gone out to sea, he would have insisted on seeing it for himself.
