Fu Wan was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Chunlan and Fu Liang. "Auntie, you're still here so late?"

It was almost eight o'clock and the villagers had all fallen asleep.

Jiang Chunlan placed the brazier at Fu Wan's feet. There was a small fire burning in it, and the flames flickered on her and Fu Liang's faces.

"Well, if something happens to you, we can't stay home. Hurry up, while the flames are starting, Awan and Ming, quickly step over!"

"After you step over the fire basin, you will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune!"

Faced with Jiang Chunlan's urging, Fu Wan and Fu Ming could only lift their legs and step over the brazier.

The custom of jumping over the fire basin has not been practiced in the village for a long time.

In the past, these superstitions were only practiced at weddings or on New Year’s Eve. In the past few years, with the elimination of the “Four Olds”, people were not allowed to engage in these superstitions.

Jiang Chunlan had been worried for most of the day, and not long ago she was thinking of lighting a brazier and waiting for Fu Wan and the others to come back.

The fire in the brazier was not very strong, but there was a lot of charcoal ash underneath. One could imagine how many times Fu Liang and the others had burned firewood waiting for him to come back.

Seeing Fu Wan and others enter the house, the comrades in the jeep declined Fu Boss's invitation to come in, turned the car around and hurried back to the camp to report.

Looking at everything familiar at home, Fu Wan felt as if she was in a dream. Today was really exciting.

When she turned her head, she saw Ye Xiaocui wiping her tears again.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Ye Xiaocui slapped Fu Wan on the arm and cursed angrily, "You two scared me to death!"

God knows when Boss Fu drove back alone to tell her about the accident, Ye Xiaocui's eyes went dark and she was so scared that she almost fainted.

If Jiang Chunlan hadn't supported her, she would have been panicked if Boss Fu and Fu Liang had run to the village committee to wait for a call from the camp.

Now that she saw Fu Wan and the others returning safely, Ye Xiaocui felt like she had come back to life.

Seeing Ye Xiaocui like this, Fu Wan had no choice but to cover her stomach and pretend to be timid.

"Mom, please stop crying. I'm starving to death!"

After saying that, he gave a wink to Fu Ming beside him.

Fu Ming received the message from his sister and quickly shouted exaggeratedly.

"Oh, I'm almost starving. Mom, you don't know if those Japanese people poisoned our food. Awan and I don't dare to eat it!

Hurry up and cook us a bowl of noodles, we are starving!"

After a burst of ghostly howling, Ye Xiaocui's attention was instantly diverted.

She had all lived through years of famine, and she knew what it felt like to be hungry.

He immediately rushed into the kitchen with the noodles, and Jiang Chunlan also hurried over to help.

"Aliang, go home and bring me the basin of oysters I brought back from the beach this morning. I'll make noodles for Awan and the others!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Liang ran away. Fu Wan's word "forget it" was on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't have time to say it out loud.

Boss Fu was not idle either. He turned around and took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and asked Ye Xiaocui in the kitchen to prepare them for his children.

The few of them started working very quickly. Fu Wan and Fu Ming had just warmed themselves up by the brazier when Ye Xiaocui came out with a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Come on, come on, the noodles are ready!"

Fu Wan turned around and was about to go to the kitchen to get chopsticks, but unexpectedly Fu Liang brought out another bowl of noodles.

"I've got the chopsticks, Awan, you guys hurry up and eat!"

A bowl of oyster noodles, topped with milky white oysters.

The noodles underneath had the aroma of lard, and there was a heavy egg lying on the side.

Not only that, Ye Xiaocui even didn't forget to sprinkle some chopped green onions. When she took that bite, Fu Wan almost cried.

So delicious!

For Fu Wan and Fu Ming, even the shark fin and abalone in the restaurant could not compare to the simple bowl of home-cooked noodles that Ye Xiaocui and her friends had.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu had already eaten in the camp, and when they saw Fu Wan and the others eating noodles, they couldn't help but feel greedy again.

Fortunately, Ye Xiaocui cooked a lot and gave them a small bowl. The two children ate with smiles on their faces.

"How's it going? Does it taste good?"

Seeing Fu Wan and Fu Ming concentrating on eating without saying anything, Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but ask.

Fu Wan gave her a thumbs up, "Of course it is, it smells really good.

Mother, aunt, would you like some too?"

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan waved their hands after hearing this. "We had dinner and our stomachs are bloated now. I guess it's because we're getting older and our stomachs are getting smaller."

In fact, this is not the case. The stomach is an emotional organ. The reason why Ye Xiaocui and the others felt they couldn't eat was because they were worried about Fu Wan and the others, which affected their stomachs.

Seeing this, Fu Wan stopped trying to persuade her and picked up an oyster and stuffed it into her mouth.

The next second, the sweet taste instantly exploded in her mouth, and Fu Wan once again fully experienced what it meant to be so sweet that it made her eyebrows drop.

Fu Ming next to him was not much better. He finished the bowl of noodles in a few gulps, and even drank the noodle soup.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui felt both distressed and happy.

I felt sad because I could see the child had suffered, but I was happy that it was all over and they both came back safely.

Seeing that Fu Wan and the others had finished their meal, Boss Fu stepped forward to clear away the dishes.

He can't cook, but he is good at doing housework.

Fu Liang couldn't let him do it, so he ran to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Boss Fu did not argue. Instead, he turned around and asked Fu Wan what happened at sea.

Fu Wan told Fugui about asking him to go find the killer whale. She just brushed aside the danger of searching for a shipwreck with Xue Qing under the sea because she didn't want to worry her old father.

When Boss Fu heard Fu Wan say that Fu Qiang was also captured by the camp, he immediately cursed.

"Deserve it!"

Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui also shook their heads. They had watched their children grow up, and they were afraid that Fu Qiang was a useless child.

In other words, Wang Zhaodi and Old Lady Wang spoiled them. When they were young, they bullied Fu Ming and Fu Liang and others. Now they have grown up and do nothing all day long. When they met Xue Qing, they thought they could help him make a fortune. Now they are involved with the Japanese, and they will probably be locked up for a while again.

Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Fu Wan suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Dad, have the experts invited by the Fisheries Bureau arrived?"

Boss Fu shook his head upon hearing this. "No, we spent the entire afternoon at the village committee today. Apart from the call from the camp, there was no other call."

Fu Wan frowned when she heard this. Zhao Gang had mentioned these two days before, but how come two days had passed and there was still no sign of the expert?

"Never mind. The new ship will arrive tomorrow. We'll go out to sea and take a look then!"

Ye Xiaocui was a little worried, "Why don't you take a break before going?"

She also thought that Fu Wan and the others had just experienced what happened, so it would be better for them to rest and go out to sea.

"No, Mom, we're full of energy now. We just ate the oysters Auntie brought back. They were so delicious. I want to go out to the sea and get some fish!"
