Chapter 542 What comes and goes
“Two?!”
Qin Anning's voice suddenly rose. "Really? We only applied for two radio communication devices."
Before Fu Wan could reply, Qin An Ning clapped his hands fiercely again, "Yes, this new ship plus the two old ships before, doesn't that make three ships?
That's not right. Didn't Brother Fu tell me a while ago that he had returned the rented boat to someone else? "
In response to Qin An Ning's confusion, Fu Wan had to briefly tell them what had happened during this period.
When Qin An Ning heard Fu Wan say that the village chief's boat had capsized at sea, his face was filled with nervousness.
Bai Qianzhou knew about this. That day, several comrades in the camp who went out to sea for patrol were injured by the wind and waves.
So after he finished his work, he immediately called Fujia Village to confirm the safety of Fu Wan's family.
"That's all right. Install two of them first. I'll call Leader Sun later to ask about the third device."
If there are only two devices on three ships, communication will be inconvenient.
Fu Wan didn't want to take advantage of the camp. Two of the three ships were loaded, and it would be bad if one was left behind.
If that doesn't work, she can still pay for it.
After all, radio is of great importance for sailing at sea!
After the equipment on the new ship was installed, Bai Qianzhou and Qin Anning fiddled with it for a while and then gave the walkie-talkie to Fu Wan.
The walkie-talkies at that time were not the wireless ones of modern times. They were a small microphone connected to a curved black telephone wire, and the other end was a device that received signals.
After Bai Qianzhou installed the radio, he demonstrated to Fu Wan how to use the wireless channel to communicate with other ships. After Fu Wan learned it, the two of them went to continue installing it on the next ship.
Seeing that they were all busy, Fu Wan turned and went to the village committee.
The village committee accountant was delighted when he saw Fu Wan. "Awan, are you calling again?"
Fu Wan greeted with a smile, "Yes, something."
The accountant likes Fu Wan and Fu San who make a lot of phone calls. The more they make, the more telephone revenue they earn.
Tomorrow is the New Year, and those who work in the village committee can earn a few more cents.
The call went through several transfers before it was connected. Sun Shaoping happened to be free, and when he heard that it was Fu Wan calling, he picked up the phone.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, I knew you would call me. How about this surprise? Is it okay?"
"It's not just okay, it's really good!"
Fu Wan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Leader. Radio is really needed for us fishermen!"
Sun Shaoping was overjoyed when he heard this, "Haha, I knew you needed it. I'm also turning waste into treasure. I'm glad I can help!
But you called me, didn't you, just to flatter me?"
"Hehe, you really are worthy of being a leader. You figured this out."
Fu Wan coughed awkwardly twice, "Well, Commander, I have three ships, and the radio equipment you approved for me is a bit insufficient.
Can I buy another set?"
Sun Shaoping thought she had some problem, but it turned out that it was because the radio equipment was not enough.
"Buy? No."
Fu Wan suddenly felt a little lost, but unexpectedly Sun Shaoping's voice rang out again.
"Our camp equipment cannot be bought or sold. If you're short of a set, I can apply for another one for you."
Fu Wan was immediately overjoyed, "Really? Thank you very much, leader."
Then she thought for a moment and asked, "Leader Sun, can the camp accept donations?"
"Donate, donate what?"
Sun Shaoping was a little surprised. How could the radio issue be linked to donations?
"Oh, I own a cannery, and the canned fish I've been producing lately are really good.
Radio equipment is very important to us, and I am very grateful that the camp thought of us.
How about this, I'll have someone send some canned fish for everyone to try. If nothing else, it's just a token of my appreciation!"
When Sun Shaoping heard this, he couldn't agree at all and refused outright.
"No, we can't accept this."
"If you don't accept it, I'll have Bai Qianzhou take it back."
Sun Shaoping was so angry at her words that he laughed, "Little girl, why are you so stubborn?
Okay, then send it over. I'll thank you on behalf of everyone else!"
"That's right, no need to thank me. The military and the people are one family, there's nothing to thank me for."
After Fu Wan hung up the phone, she turned around and dialed the cannery's number.
"Uncle Wang, my father and brother are still at the factory, right? Ask the warehouse to pack twenty boxes of canned fish for me, and then have my father and the others deliver them to the camp.
They know my address, and the canned fish bill is in my name, and they’ll deduct it from my dividend at the end of the year.”
Wang Jianmin agreed. After Fu Wan hung up the phone, she was about to go to the dock to see if Bai Qianzhou and the others had finished their work. Unexpectedly, she ran into Qian Xiaohua carrying a hoe.
Although Shen Dongsheng had some unpleasant experiences when he was in the village, Qian Xiaohua did speak out when the belt of his boat was cut last time.
So Fu Wan didn't give her a cold face, and they kept to themselves. She originally thought that Qian Xiaohua was just passing by, but who would have thought that after hesitating for a few seconds, she actually ran over.
"Fu...Fu Wan, is your farm still hiring?"
Fu Wan was surprised. She didn't expect that this was what she asked.
"They probably won't be hiring for now. Uncle Jiang is only doing training right now, and the actual work on the farm won't begin until the spring of next year."
"That's it."
Seeing Qian Xiaohua's lost look, Fu Wan felt a little bit sorry for her.
"Uncle Jiang is also giving a farming class at the ancestral hall today. Why don't you go?"
"If you have time, you can go and listen. Maybe it will be useful later."
"I can't even read a few words, why should I go to class?"
She scratched her fingers embarrassedly. There was a lot of dirt under her nails because she had just done farm work.
"What's the problem with not knowing how to read? Weren't your chickens well-fed before?"
"If I can raise chickens well, there's no reason why other types of farming can't be done well."
Fu Wan's words suddenly made her eyes light up, and she immediately wanted to go to the ancestral hall.
"Then I, then I will go."
"go Go."
Although Qian Xiaohua was a little confused before, Fu Wan also saw how she protected the child.
She is not a virtuous woman either. Qian Xiaohua was jealous of Boss Fu's safe return and led her into a misunderstanding.
Now that she has figured it out and is clear-headed and honest, Fu Wan doesn't mind letting go of those little fights from the past.
When Fu Wan arrived at the dock, Bai Qianzhou and Qin Anning had already installed the radio on the old boat.
Seeing Fu Wan coming, Qin An Ning took her to the new ship. Hearing Bai Qianzhou's voice coming from the cockpit radio, Fu Wan was immediately very happy.
"My God, you guys are amazing. No, we have to celebrate tonight."
They couldn't celebrate, Bai Qianzhou and Qin Anning regretfully said, because they had to go back to work in the evening.
Fu Wan could only ask Ye Xiaocui to pack some home-cooked dishes for them. When everyone was sitting at the table to eat in the evening, Fu Ming raised a question.
"Should we give the boat a name?"
