Shui Wa was even more disappointed than Grandpa Turtle. He didn't mention taking Shen Xiuxiu to thank him, and squatted in the corner with his bladder stuffed.
Grandpa Turtle also sighed beside him.
No matter how dull Shen Xiuxiu is, she understands a little bit now.
"Brother Shui Wa, don't be discouraged. Didn't we have ten days off? If we want to see Mr. Jin, we can go to Sichuan to find him!"
Shen Xiuxiu comforted.
"Mr. Jin is in Sichuan and Shu, and we are in the East China Sea. How can ten days be enough?" Shui Wa said: "You have never been to Sichuan and Shu, so you don't know how far away Sichuan and Shu are!"
When Grandpa Turtle heard what Shen Xiuxiu said, he felt something in his heart: "Shui baby, if you go back, it will be different from us. You are now a member of the navy, so you should be able to take a speedboat. If you hurry up, ten days will be enough."
Got it!"
"Yes, I am a member of the navy now, and we can take a speedboat!"
Shui Wa's eyes suddenly lit up, and then dimmed: "But Mr. Jin is so busy, even if we arrive in Sichuan, will he see us?"
"If you go by yourself, you may not be able to see Mr. Jin, but you can take Xiao Xiuxiu with you!"
Grandpa Gui helped: "When we arrived in Sichuan and Sichuan, Xiao Xiuxiu said that you came to thank the Imperial Preceptor for helping you avenge your revenge. With the Imperial Preceptor's temper, knowing that you came all the way to thank him, you would definitely meet him.
your!"
"Yes, yes!" Shui Wa was happy again after hearing this: "Xiuxiu, didn't you say that Mrs. Xiaobei wanted you to go to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce? Let's go to Sichuan and Sichuan to find Mrs. Xiaobei first!"
When Shen Xiuxiu heard this, her little eyebrows furrowed, and she hesitated and said, "Brother Shui Wa, I really want to help you, but I don't want to go to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, I want to stay in the Navy!"
"I'm not asking you to join the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. I'm just asking you to go find Mrs. Xiaobei for a recommendation, so that we can more easily meet the Imperial Master!" Shui Wa said.
Shen Xiuxiu was still a little hesitant, but when she thought that Shui Wa had been taking good care of her on the boat, she nodded: "Okay!"
"Then let's go to Brother Cai to approve the notes after dinner!" Shui Wa said excitedly.
Although the output of speedboats is higher than before, it is still far from enough for military use and has never been put into civilian use.
It is difficult for ordinary people to take a speedboat, but it is not a big problem for navy people.
Shen Xiuxiu bit her lips and said, "Brother Shui Wa, I've taken revenge. I want to go back and kowtow to my father, uncle, and brother. After I finish kowtowing, can I go with you to approve the note?"
Although Shui Wa was anxious, she also knew that she should go to pay homage to Shen Xiuxiu's relatives first.
"Okay, I'll accompany you to kowtow to your family first!"
"Thank you, Brother Shuiwa!"
"Thank you for everything!"
Shui Wa waved her hand and pushed Grandpa Turtle towards the kitchen: "Grandpa Turtle, hurry up and steam the fish. After dinner, we have to do some serious business!"
"I know, I know!"
Grandpa Turtle pulled Shui Baby angrily: "If you are in a hurry, come over and cook a pot for me!"
"I'll burn it," Shen Xiuxiu rolled up her sleeves and followed.
"You're a girl, you're covered in ashes when you burn a pot!" Grandpa Gui stopped Shen Xiuxiu: "Let Shui Wa cook it!"
"It's okay, I often cook pots for the sailors and escort brothers on the ship!"
"Then you should have a good rest when you come back!"
Grandpa Turtle was still unwilling: "If you really want to work, help me choose the vegetables!"
When Shen Xiuxiu saw that Shui Wa had already gone behind the stove, she no longer forced herself to do so. She took the vegetable basket from Grandpa Gui's hand and sat aside to choose vegetables.
Grandpa Turtle looked at Shui Wa who was cooking the pot, and then at Shen Xiuxiu who was choosing vegetables. His old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum again.
Shui Wa and Shen Xiuxiu were both still very young. He didn't think about anything, but he just felt that all his grandchildren were suddenly gone.

Moreover, he lived a good life in the East China Sea. He bought a small boat and occasionally went out to sea to fish, which was enough for him to live alone.
The old brother who used to work at the dock has now made money and often visits him, sometimes even staying at his house for a few days.
Some time ago, he had been worried about Shui Wa, and now Shui Wa is back.
Grandpa Turtle has lived for most of his life and struggled at the bottom for most of his life. Now he suddenly feels that his life has made progress.
"Xiuxiu, can you eat Sichuan peppercorns?"
Grandpa Turtle went to the back room and took out a cloth bag.
It contains dried peppercorns that the old man brought him from Sichuan.
"You can eat it!" Shen Xiuxiu said happily: "When we were on the boat, everyone liked to eat peppercorns. When we set off, Shuiwa brought the peppercorns on the boat, and the old uncle Zhang in the kitchen specially marinated the fish.
I have picked out the Sichuan peppercorns and put a little in every time I cook, they are delicious.
It’s a pity that there are too few peppercorns, so even though Old Uncle Zhang was reluctant to put them away, he finished them quickly!”
"The peppercorns in the pickled fish have no flavor anymore, how can I eat it again?"
Grandpa Turtle directly put the cloth bag on the table: "Shui Wa, when you go to the ship to approve the notes, send all these peppercorns to the kitchen!"
"You don't want to eat?" Shui Wa asked.
He knew that Grandpa Turtle would eat Sichuan peppercorns with almost every meal.
"Your Uncle Dong will be here in two days, and he will bring it to me again!" Grandpa Turtle waved his hand.
Elders are like this. When they have good food, they are reluctant to eat it themselves. Instead, they let their children take it to do errands.
Therefore, there was a saying in Jin Feng's previous life that those who buy high-end wine rarely drink it themselves, and those who drink high-end wine almost never buy it themselves.
Shui Wa was still young, so he didn't care. He nodded while lighting the fire: "Okay, I'll send it to Old Uncle Zhang later. He will definitely be very happy!"
The old man and the young man cooperated with each other, and the breakfast was quickly prepared.
Breakfast is very simple, just a steamed fish, a plate of vegetables, and a bowl of wheat porridge.
But the three of them gathered around the small wooden table and ate very happily.
After breakfast, Shen Xiuxiu went to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Grandpa Turtle.
Grandpa Turtle ran to the kitchen and took the cloth bag containing peppercorns, and also carried a vegetable basket.
The vegetable basket contained incense candles and paper ingots, as well as a fish and several pairs of chopsticks.
"Xiuxiu, go back and kowtow, don't be empty-handed, burn some paper money for your father and uncle."
Grandpa Turtle handed the vegetable basket and cloth bag to Shui Wa.
Shui Wa took the things, and Shen Xiuxiu knelt down and kowtowed to Grandpa Turtle: "Thank you, Grandpa Turtle!"
"Silly boy, we will be a family from now on, don't do this anymore."
Grandpa Turtle pulled Shen Xiuxiu up: "You guys go quickly!"
"Okay!" Shui Wa thought about approving the note and going to Sichuan as soon as possible, so she agreed and pulled Shen Xiuxiu away.
Shen Xiuxiu took Shui Wa along the alley and came to the door of her house.
Looking at the familiar door, Shen Xiuxiu's tears couldn't stop flowing down again.
Now she is the only one left in the Shen family.
Shui Wa wanted to comfort Shen Xiuxiu, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only walk up and stand with her.
Shen Xiuxiu took out a small cloth bag from her arms, opened it carefully, took out the only key to her home, and was about to open the door when she was suddenly pulled by Shui Wa!
