Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 1286 Look at your gloomy wood

Fu Wan glanced at the sea near the dock and saw that there were still empty spaces, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Sure, we'll leave it by the dock. Thanks a lot, Comrade Xin!"

"You're welcome, this is the boss's order."

After Ah Xin finished speaking, he turned around and instructed the person next to him in Cantonese. The person quickly ran onto the boat, and then the sound of the machine running could be heard from the large ship.

The onlookers on the dock looked up at the noise and saw a huge crane arm rising from the ship, easily lifting the speedboat tied to the deck and placing it on the water.

After delivering the goods, Ah Xin demonstrated how to operate the boat to Fu Wan, then hurriedly said goodbye to Fu Wan and sailed away.

Their cargo ships weren't just delivering speedboats to Fu Wan; they also had other transport missions.

According to Ah Xin, he will need to go to the distant Atlantic Ocean to deliver the cargo from the ship, and then transport another batch of cargo back to the port city.

Seeing the cargo ship leave, Fu Ming couldn't wait to get close to Fu Wan.

"Ah Wan, give me the key, let me drive it around and try it out."

"Giving it to you is no problem, but you have to come with me to the station this afternoon to pick up a few people."

Fu Ming agreed without hesitation. As he received the keys, he casually asked, "Who are we going to pick up at the station?"

"Uncle Feng and Brother Qin Liu."

"Sixth Brother Qin?!"

Fu Ming was so startled that he almost dropped the key into the sea, but luckily Fu Wan reacted quickly and grabbed it.

"Are you trying to kill me? The keys are right here. If you lose them, you'll have to go fishing them out of the sea."

"Oops, I lost my grip for a second," Fu Ming quickly apologized. "But why is Sixth Brother here?"

“The construction on that plot of land in Shanghai is about to begin, and he came to me to discuss something.”

"So that's how it is," Fu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Although Qin Fu was Qin Anning's cousin, he was also his brother-in-law.

When his brother-in-law comes over, he definitely has to treat him well.

"Then I'll call the camp later and ask if your sister-in-law has time to come back for a meal..."

Thinking of Qin Anning, who had been so busy lately that he was nowhere to be seen, Fu Ming suddenly lost all interest in driving the speedboat.

Sigh, I wonder if Qin Anning has been eating properly lately, or if she's lost weight from being so busy.

The cool and novel speedboat aroused the curiosity of the villagers at the dock. When Fu Laoda arrived, Fu Wan was driving the speedboat with Liu Sanniang, Aunt Qian and a group of people, and they were going for a ride on the sea.

He didn't get to drive the first one, but seeing the speedboat going so fast and powerfully, Boss Fu couldn't help but grin and laugh.

The old village chief and Grandpa Fu were looking at the speedboats on the sea with envy on the dock. When they saw Boss Fu coming over, they couldn't help but give him a whack on the cane with a mix of sourness and disgust.

The sourness comes from the fact that Boss Fu is lucky to have such a sensible and capable daughter, while the dislike comes from the fact that Boss Fu didn't manage to get his hands on a speedboat when he was young.

Although there are speedboats now, they are all so old that Fu Wan doesn't dare to take them out to sea on a speedboat.

At that speed of the speedboat, the old man's soul might still be chasing after it even after the boat has gone far away!

Time flew by and it was already afternoon. After lunch and a short rest, Fu Wan and Fu Ming drove to the train station to pick up someone.

There are only a few trains from Beijing to Longhai City, and before long, Feng Ji and his two companions finally managed to squeeze off the train.

"Hey, Uncle Feng, Sixth Brother!" Fu Ming waved frantically.

"Here here!"

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Fu turned around and saw Fu Ming, Fu Wan, and the others in the crowd. He immediately greeted Feng Ji and Xu Baoguo with a smile.

"Haha, I knew they would come to pick us up!"

Feng Ji instinctively tried to keep a straight face as soon as he got out of the car, but when he saw this group of younger people he hadn't seen in a long time, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

After many days away, Longhai City was still as lively as ever, and Fu Ming and Fu Wan seemed to have remained unchanged.

"Uncle Feng, it's been a long time! Welcome back!"

Fu Wan raised her hand, intending to take the luggage from Feng Ji's hands, but unexpectedly someone immediately grasped it.

"Hey, Comrade Fu, it's been a long time! Do you still remember me?"

Fu Wan looked up and saw that the face in front of her did look somewhat familiar, but she didn't think she knew him.

"you are……"

“Oh dear,” Xu Baoguo pulled Feng Ji over, “I’m your Uncle Feng’s colleague at the research institute. Didn’t we meet once when you came to the research institute a while ago?”

"What, you don't remember?"

"Oh!" Fu Wan suddenly remembered and immediately became more polite. "I remember, I remember, you are also an expert at the research institute."

After saying that, she looked at Feng Ji with a questioning gaze. If she remembered correctly, the comrade in front of her had mocked her for being Feng Ji's poor relative last time. Why was he suddenly so enthusiastic after not seeing her for a few months?

Feng Ji gave her a look that was hard to describe, and then glanced disdainfully at Xu Baoguo, who was still shaking hands with Fu Ming enthusiastically.

Well, to be honest, he didn't want to admit that this was his colleague. In Feng Ji's opinion, this person's face changed faster than turning the pages of a book. For some dried seafood and news about the ebony, this person's personality had become a bit abnormal!

Xu Baoguo knew that Feng Ji disliked him, but it didn't matter, he didn't care.

He was very pleased that Fu Wan remembered him. "Haha, it's good that you remembered. I came here specifically to see your ebony!"

"Sunken wood?"

Fu Ming looked puzzled, but Fu Wan smiled and said, "Oh, that's what it is. Let's get in the car then."

Seeing that Fu Wan did not deny the existence of any dark wood, Fu Ming was immediately filled with questions.

He had heard the old people in the village mention ebony when he was a child, but they didn't say it was a valuable thing. Instead, they said it was the boat of sea ghosts, and you should stay far away from it.

But when Fu Ming grew up, he realized that ebony was also a good thing. It was a raw material used in the palace to make furniture, so how could it be some kind of unlucky stuff?

But when did we get some petrified wood in our house?

Fu Ming tried hard to recall, and in an instant, he suddenly remembered that Fu Wan had gone to the backyard yesterday, and there was indeed a long and thick log in their backyard. Fu Laoda had even specially propped it up with wooden stakes.

He was puzzled at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it was clearly a way to protect the wood!

"Ah Wan, that tree in the backyard... isn't it...?"

During the brief moment before boarding the car, Fu Ming couldn't help but ask, and Fu Wan quietly nodded.

"It should be. Neither my dad nor I were sure, so we thought of taking a picture and sending it to Uncle Feng to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ming slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn it, I should have thought of that earlier! Why didn't you guys tell me?!"

“What do you mean I didn’t tell you?” Fu Wan said helplessly. “There were so many people on the ship at the time. My father and I were afraid that it would cause trouble if word got out, so we thought of taking them home under the pretext of making furniture.”

Later, I got so busy that I completely forgot about it.

After getting into the car, Fu Wan looked at Feng Ji and the other man and asked, "Uncle Feng, do you think the tree in my house is made of submerged wood?"

Feng Ji nodded slowly. "Judging from the photos you gave me, it should definitely be petrified wood. But to be sure, we'll have to wait until we get back to the village and have the man surnamed Xu take a look."
