Chapter 287 A gathering after a few months
Xiangyi continued, "It's true. With the fishing team now in place, we're barely able to supply the fish. We're still looking for people, so I guess we'll have to add more fishing teams in the future."
"Well, let's take it slow. Actually, I was thinking that a fishing team doesn't necessarily have to be made up entirely of fishermen. Veterans, or people who are familiar with water and have good character, could also be suitable with some training."
Xiangyi's eyes lit up when she heard this. What Fu Ling said made sense. They could train their own talents so that they wouldn't be so restricted in terms of personnel.
Isn’t that the case with the workplace? There’s a process from being a beginner to becoming an elite.
"Your suggestion is very good. I will discuss this matter with Brother Hu later. If the pharmaceutical factory cannot accommodate so many people, any strong and healthy man can be sent here."
"Okay, I'll talk to Uncle Sheng about this later."
Xiang Yi didn't expect that just chatting casually would solve a big problem for her: "Ling Bao, it's great, your mind is still so smart."
Fu Ling said proudly, "Of course. When have I ever failed to keep my promise?"
After sitting for a while, Fu Ling and Lu Beichen took gifts to visit Political Commissar Ye and his wife to wish them a happy new year.
The couple was naturally happy when they came back. After a long chat, he invited them to dinner at his home in the evening and then left.
They also have to go to Sheng Shouxiang's home to pay New Year's greetings.
This was Fu Ling's first time here. They usually discussed things in the military office building, so this was his first time coming to my home.
When Sheng Shouxiang's wife saw the two men coming, she welcomed them very warmly.
"Our Lao Sheng often mentioned you to me. When I saw you today, you are indeed beautiful. Haha~ Only you are worthy of Xiao Lu. I introduced you to him before, but he didn't like you. At first I thought he was stupid, but I didn't expect he just didn't like you. Fortunately, it didn't work out, otherwise it would be a mistake to match you up with someone so good."
"Aunt Sheng, you are too kind. I am visiting you at home just now. I hope you don't mind."
"It's not your fault, kid. There's a reason why Xiao Lu didn't bring you here."
Fu Ling asked why Lu Beichen had never thought of bringing her home to visit for so long.
It turned out that Mrs. Sheng had rarely been to the island since the year before last. Her son and daughter lived in Beijing, and she usually took care of the children there. This New Year, because the army was too busy, Sheng Shouxiang had no time to return to Beijing, so Mrs. Sheng came to spend the New Year with him.
Fu Ling expressed her understanding, saying that Lu's mother and Fu's mother came to the island just to take care of her baby.
"Haha, Aunt Sheng, I'm here this time to invite you two to have a simple meal at home tonight."
"Okay, I'll tell Lao Sheng when he comes back."
After sitting for about half an hour, the two of them stood up and said goodbye.
"I didn't expect it! Uncle Sheng is such a strong man, but he married such a gentle wife." Fu Ling said with emotion as he sat in the back seat.
"Well, my aunt is very nice."
"Yeah! I'm even introducing you to someone~ How could it not be good?" Fu Ling felt jealous of him.
Lu Beichen raised the corner of his mouth: "I didn't agree, but fate has its own guidance."
"That's so fantastical."
"Isn't it fantasy? Otherwise, how could you appear?"
Fu Ling suddenly felt that what he said made a lot of sense, and he was actually unable to refute it.
"Hehe, what does this mean? It means that you are destined to be mine. Even if we get married, you can get to know me in this way."
"Yes, just to wait for you." There was another sentence he didn't say: I am so lucky to have you.
After a few months, everyone got together again.
"Oh my, I haven't seen you for a few months. You babies have grown so big. Come hold them, grandma." Mrs. Ye happily reached out and hugged them one by one. Although they hadn't seen each other for a few months, the children still remembered Mrs. Ye, and the children cooperated very well.
This made Mrs. Ye so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Look, he still recognized me, haha, who says children forget things? Look at Sanbao, he still remembers me, his godgrandmother."
"I've never seen such cute babies. They are so good-looking." Mrs. Sheng fell in love with the three children at the first sight. They were so adorable.
"That's right. I've never seen these three kids cry. They're so well behaved. They can eat, sleep and play. Do you want to hug them? They're so well behaved. They don't recognize anyone."
“Can I?” Mrs. Sheng wanted to hug the baby, but some children are more recognizable to people, and it would be bad to make the baby cry.
"Well, just try it and you'll know." Mrs. Ye encouraged.
Mrs. Sheng tried to stretch out her hand, and Guagua saw it. She looked up and saw Meimei’s grandmother, then she grabbed her hand and stood up without hesitation. This action was obviously implying: Hug me, hug me.
After picking up Guagua, the child kept staring at her. Mrs. Sheng was amused and laughed: "Little baby, are you trying to recognize me? I am Grandma Sheng~"
"Grandma...grandma...grandma" she called in a baby voice.
"Haha, Ye family, did you hear that? He called grandma."
"Yes, the child has started to trace words and will soon be able to talk and learn to walk."
Fu Ling was busy in the kitchen at this time. Lu Beichen went out and "picked up" the chickens and rabbits borrowed from someone else's house. He picked up two rabbits and two chickens and made them a dinner.
Mother Lu wants to use this chicken to make a very distinctive spicy chicken, which requires roasted pepper sauce and Sichuan peppercorns, making the dish spicy, fresh and fragrant.
As for the rabbit, we will stir-fry it today. When serving, we will add some green peppers, chopped green onions and sprinkle some sesame seeds to make the taste more layered.
With the other dishes, tonight was another perfect night.
"Haha, I haven't eaten the food cooked by your family for several months. I miss it so much!" Sheng Shouxiang picked up a piece of spicy chicken and tasted it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this another newly discovered cuisine? It smells so good."
"Uncle Sheng, this is called spicy chicken, a specialty dish from Sichuan Province. The soul of the dish lies in the chili pepper." Fu Ling explained. She didn't dare to say that she had researched it herself, otherwise she would be slapped in the face later.
"It must be you who figured it out again, right? You always bring us different surprises, kid."
Mother Lu echoed, "Haha~ That's right, I'm only responsible for cooking, and Lingling came up with the recipes."
She liked hearing others praise Fu Ling, which made her happier than hearing people praise her own cooking.
Fu Ling didn't want to talk about this. How could she explain it? What if they asked her where she saw it in a book? Wouldn't that mean she would have to lie more? Fortunately, no one asked about it, which made her secretly relieved.
After dinner, everyone sat together to chat. Fu Ling and Sheng Shouxiang had something to discuss, so they set up a tea table in the yard.
"Girl Ling, do you have something to tell me?" Sheng Shouxiang said with a smile.
Fu Ling didn't like beating around the bush, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Sheng, I want to discuss something with you."
