Chapter 21 (1)

Wei Huimin said to his uncle: "Isn't he the head of the regiment? The army officer doesn't care about local affairs, and he has no power in his hands. I, the director of the factory office, has more power than him in the local area. Besides, he will be assigned to guard the army immediately." Desert Island, dare to threaten me before departure! I don’t believe his hand can reach back to Qingcheng.

Besides, he dared to marry the capitalist’s daughter. Although he has already been punished to guard the island, I think this punishment is far from enough. It should be increased. The organization should also investigate whether he and his family have colluded with the big capitalists, maybe he has been having an affair with the capitalists' family for the past 20 years." This nephew is almost a true inheritance from his uncle

.

Uncle Wei Huimin's face was pale, his brows were tangled together, and his face was almost distorted by anger: "Go on, talk."

Wei Huimin observed his uncle's expression, thinking that his uncle was also angered by Gu Lin, and let him continue, and was shocked. Encouragement said: "Marrying a capitalist's daughter is in itself a mistake. It is difficult for people like them to catch the handle. Uncle, if you catch his mistake, put him on the line and pull him down, this is also your political achievement."

He tried his best to say, "Uncle, this is an opportunity to come to your door! He threw himself into the trap and sent it to you. If you can accomplish this, you will have a bright future." Wei Huimin's uncle

's eyes flickered coldly, Staring at his nephew, he was furious, and when the other party finished speaking, he stood up and slapped the table with his palm, almost smashing the table into pieces: "I hate your eight generations of ancestors, you are a dog, you are great if you have some power in your hands. Huimin, you bastard."

Hearing this, Wei Huimin thought that his uncle was scolding Gu Lin, and he was secretly happy, but after hearing it later, he realized that he was scolding him, and beads of sweat protruded from his forehead.

"You can't cock your tail, you can't cock a few in the front, and you can't cock your tail in the back. Don't rely on my power to cause trouble. You know General Gu Changting. That's Gu Lin's grandfather. Gu Lin's name is Genzheng Miaohong. The Gu family has been in the army for three generations. Every name can scare you to death. What are you? How dare you challenge such a family? Gu Lin can marry whoever he wants! Are you impatient or what? In the future, you boy Be a man with your tail between your legs, and don't cause trouble for me."

Wei Huimin only felt that a pot of dog's blood seemed to be splashed on his face, his back clothes were soaked with cold sweat, his head drooped, and he didn't dare to fart.

He has been scolded for being stupid, confused, he has been scolded and split.

He feels like a grandson now.

Who is his uncle? A prominent figure in the movement, the person most valued by the leaders of the city, even mentioning the Gu family is full of fear.

Of course General Gu Changting knew that he was a man who had made countless military exploits and had a great reputation. If he knew that Gu Lin was Gu Changting's grandson, he would not dare to provoke Lin Qiao even if he had ten or eight guts.

The impoverished Lin family was able to marry such a prominent family.

Wei Huimin felt that he had been hurt twice. First, his uncle scolded him bloody. Second, he said that he couldn't fight a few times in front of him.

"Are you arrogant and arrogant, are you trying to kill me? Tell me what you, a bastard, have done to hurt the world." "

Uncle, I just thought about it and didn't do anything." Facing the furious uncle, Wei Huimin's head was full of beads of sweat.

"Get out, get out now, don't come to me in the future, I'm not your uncle, I can be killed by you, if you make trouble for me, I will be the first to let you go, and your director can't do it either." The leader of Wei Hui yelled in anger.

Wei Huimin figured it out, it looked like this, if something happened to him, not only would his uncle not protect him, but he would also push him out.

His biggest backer is unreliable.

The uncle kept cursing and swearing, and Wei Huimin cursed and swore again, and even slapped both of his own ears, before he walked away like a shit.

Besides, Xu Songqiu waited impatiently for Wei Huimin to come back, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was hopeless.

Jealousy made her unrecognizable.

She has always been jealous of Lin Qiao, jealous that she is the official eldest lady of the Lin family, jealous that she is prettier than herself, jealous that she has better academic performance than herself, and at most she is an adopted daughter. She thought that she would never be as good as Lin Qiao in her life, but she did not expect that something happened to the Lin family. Lin Qiao fell from the sky into the mud.

Only then did she feel elated. A few days later, she didn't expect that Lin Qiao would marry a regiment leader, climb a high branch and turn over again.

She hoped that Wei Huimin would pull Lin Qiao down again through his uncle, so that she would never turn over again.

Unexpectedly, Wei Huimin didn't come home until it was dark, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Xu Songqiu hurriedly served the steamed meat buns, looked at his face and asked, "Have you seen Uncle?" What did uncle say? You can punish Captain Gu."

Wei Huimin didn't touch the meat buns, but only glanced at Xu Songqiu, which made her feel terrified. The former said seriously: "Xu Songqiu, I didn't expect You will repay your kindness and revenge. The Lin family raised you up and provided you with education. They don't expect you to repay their kindness, but now that you have the ability, you have to deal with the Lin family. I despise your behavior. Don't use me as a gun against the Lin family. I hope You can be full of gratitude in the future, and be a kind and upright person."

Xu Songqiu: "..."

She opened her mouth wide in surprise, who said that Gu Lin was just the leader of the regiment who was punished and was going to guard the deserted island, He has no power at all in the local area, and he vowed to make him recognize himself and get a more severe punishment?

Who was upset because of Gu Lin's visit and couldn't sleep all night because of insomnia?

Why don't you mention it now, but condemn her with such serious words?

What did she do wrong?

In front of the other party's righteousness, Xu Songqiu felt that he was very small, even very dark, like a mouse crawling in a dark ditch, and his words were very weak: "I didn't do anything, we are a couple now, we are one. Yes, I'm doing this for both of us? Don't you want to see Lin Qiao marry the head of the group? Don't you want to pull the head of the group down?"

"That's all your thoughts. I just said a few perfunctory words to understand your thoughts. Captain Gu has been working hard for coastal defense and national stability. He is a person worthy of respect. I have always been open and aboveboard. Without you, who are shameless Mind.” In terms of righteous speech and speaking inappropriately, Wei Huimin is a professional, and no one can compare with him.

Xu Songqiu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Why did he turn his face faster than he turned a book, and easily changed two completely different rhetoric, and said it very easily, without any psychological burden!

She was hit so hard, she couldn't figure it out, Wei Huimin was obviously a modest gentleman, someone she admired and admired, a man she worked so hard to get, but she always felt that something was wrong.

What was even more shocking was that Wei Huimin, the director of the factory office, was dismissed.

At 8 o'clock on Monday morning, the factory cadres had to hold a meeting for the employee representatives. Wei Huimin, as the director of the factory office, was going to speak at the meeting, but just as he entered the meeting place, he was notified by the head of the personnel department that he was now demoted to be a director of the factory office. The former subordinates of the factory office were promoted to directors of the factory office.

It was like a bolt from the blue, Wei Huimin was stunned again, and split again.

With so many eyes on him, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was actually dismissed? He felt embarrassed, invincible.

He trudged back to the office to pack up his belongings, and finally waited for the meeting to end. He was unwilling to ask the factory leader. The factory leader said that the order was directly issued by the supervisory unit, and suggested asking the business bureau or the personnel bureau.

He bit the bullet and went to find his uncle, but his uncle scolded him again, saying that he had no ability or ability, so he should be an ordinary employee and keep his own place.

Wei Huimin felt that a basin of cold water was pouring down his head. He turned from the most promising factory cadre to an ordinary employee!

Could it be because he offended Gu Lin!

Does he have that much ability?

——When

it was the day of departure, Xu Manzhi helped Lin Qiao pack everything early. Taking advantage of her packing time, Lin Qiao took the gift money from her mother and the one-month salary from her second brother. In the notebook near the drawer, and then go to cook wontons.

The wontons were wrapped the night before, Lin Zhenkai was worried that Lin Qiao would not be full, so he went to buy a catty of deep-fried dough sticks and came back.

In addition to her carry-on luggage, Xu Manzhi was willing to spend money. She went to a time-honored dim sum shop and bought peach cakes, cakes and other pastries for Lin Qiao to take with her. The two big pig's trotters reminded Lin Qiao that it was hot, and she had to finish eating them in a day or two.

"I'll eat canned food for the remaining few days." Xu Manzhi was afraid that her daughter would not eat well on the road.

Ten minutes after breakfast, Gu Lin and Doudou came to pick up Lin Qiao. The soldier drove a jeep, and Lin Zhen drove Lin Qiao's things into the car. Lin Qiao reluctantly bid farewell to his family.

"Let's go." Xu Manzhi said.

She didn't feel sad about parting at all, on the contrary, she was very relieved.

I never thought that my daughter would be so far away from home, but her daughter got married and it was a big event in her heart. It was good to go to the island, she felt that the island was safe.

"Mom, depending on the situation, maybe you can take Xiaoshu to visit us on the island in the future." Lin Qiao said, her nose was sore, she even spoke with a nasal voice, and she was very reluctant to leave home so far away.

Xu Manzhi also went to school occasionally recently. After the summer vacation, she didn't know if the school would open or not.

Xiaoshu held Lin Qiao's hand, reluctant to let his aunt leave. If his aunt hadn't said that he was a little man, he would have wanted to cry.

DouDou poked his head out of the rear window: "Xiao Shu, go to the island to find us when you have time!"

He has already described to Xiao Shu the scenery on the island he heard, there are bananas, there are crabs, and you can pick up seafood when you catch the sea, saying Xiaoshu was very fascinated and wanted to go.

"There must be a chance to go." Lin Qiao said while holding his little hand.

"Second brother, take good care of our mother." Lin Qiao said again.

Lin Zhenkai immediately promised: "I'm here at home, you can leave at ease."

Lin Qiao got into the car, the car started, and the three of the Lin family kept waving in the direction the car was leaving until the car was out of sight.

It took ten minutes to drive to the train station. The little soldier who was driving helped them carry their luggage to the station. Gu Lin felt that he was a little impatient. There were still two or three hours before departure, so he said to the little soldier: "The luggage is here. Me, you go back."

After the little soldier left, the three of them walked towards the entrance of the station.

Lin Qiao only carried a cross-body bag, and all the luggage was on Gu Lin's body. There were two big bags plus a bag of toilet paper, water cups and other things that he needed at any time. Lin Qiao held his son's other hand.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt." Walking near the entrance to the station, they suddenly heard someone calling them.

Turning around, he saw Chen Qicheng running towards them across the crowd.

He called Lin Qiao a few times just now, Gu Lin has such good ears, he must be able to hear, but he purposely didn't turn his head, when he called third uncle and third aunt, Gu Lin turned his head immediately.

Chen Qicheng ran out of breath: "I'll see you off."

He handed over a package of things: "My parents gave you gifts, bed sheets, fabrics, etc." He was

controlled by his family until Gu Lin set off for the train Stand, the family let him out.

Gu Lin took the things, took off the backpack, stuffed it into the backpack and said in a very proud tone: "Go back and tell your parents, thank them for giving up such a good girl." Chen Qicheng's expression froze, and he hugged her

. After the beauty returned, she insisted on stabbing a knife in his heart.

"When will you return to the army?" Gu Lin asked again.

Chen Qicheng said: "It's just a few days."

Gu Lin teased: "It's been a fulfilling two months since I came back to visit relatives, and I just watched the baby become the third aunt."

He put the things away, put a few With all the luggage on his shoulders, he immediately grabbed his son with his left hand and Lin Qiao with his right hand, completely ignoring that men and women are not holding hands in public, and locked them firmly by his side.

Chen Qicheng: "..."

It's fine for Dudou to protect the calf, and it's the same for Lin Qiao.

He and DouDou met eyes, and the latter called him uncle abruptly.

Doudou was very happy to see Chen Qicheng again.

The situation before the crossing was that my father died to save his comrades. At that time, the army also participated in the local conflict. Among the rescued people was Chen Qicheng. He had a very bad life in the second half of his life. He hoped that he was the one who died in the battle. He felt guilty and destroyed it. For the happiness of the mother and son, they often blame themselves, often regret, and often say that they hope that when they go back to the past, it is he who saved Gu Lin instead of Gu Lin who saved him. Originally, he was very promising in the army, but he was so stressed that he had to leave the army. To put it bluntly, he was not mentally normal, but he has always been very good to himself.

It's just that after time travel, DouDou couldn't remember these things anymore, he only remembered that Chen Qicheng was very kind to him, and he hoped that Uncle Chen could live a better life.

Chen Qicheng was surprised, and Lin Qiao and Gu Lin were naturally also surprised, since they had never met Uncle Chen before Doudou.

Chen Qicheng didn't like children at all, but Doudou was different. When this cute child called him affectionately, his heart was so soft that he couldn't resist it at all. He bent down, picked up the limp little guy from the ground, held it with his arms, and lifted it above his head.

"Uncle!"

"Hey!"

The two were as affectionate as relatives reunited after a long absence.

"I didn't expect me to be so friendly to children, third uncle, why is your adopted child so close to me." Chen Qicheng was extremely proud.

"Hey, whose family are you from? Why do you look so similar to Third Uncle?"

DouDou was held high in the air like a bird with spread wings. After spinning a few times, it finally stopped. The two looked at each other, Chen Qi Cheng felt as if he had discovered some great secret, turned his head to face Gu Lin, and said doubtfully.

"You should know that he is a child we picked up at the gate of the camp." Gu Lin said.

Chen Qicheng looked at Doudou carefully, and saw that no matter how he looked, he looked somewhat similar to Gu Lin, and said doubtfully, "But Doudou looks very similar to you, and I don't believe that he is not your child.

" Hugging Doudou, she tilted her head to look at Lin Qiao: "Do you believe it? Do you believe that Doudou is not the third uncle's child." "

I believe him, I believe every word he says." Lin Qiao's tone was firm, with a smile .

Chen Qicheng's heart felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of vinegar, and he couldn't help but feel sour. Lin Qiao and Gu Lin had only known each other for a long time, so maybe he was cheated and still trusted him so much.

Chen Qicheng looked at Lin Qiao fixedly, and suddenly, as if he had discovered a huge secret, he exclaimed, "Lin Qiao, Doudou is not the child of you and third uncle, right? Doudou's eyes look like big brother's. The nose and mouth look more like you, you, did you have a baby with my third uncle behind my back!"

This major discovery surprised his whole family for a year.

He felt that he was qualified to question Lin Qiao, after all, they had a marriage contract before.

Gu Lin was eager to have more mysterious contact with Lin Qiao, and he didn't mind what the other party said at all, but he corrected him: "Chen Qicheng, even if you and Lin Qiao don't divorce, you are not a good match for her, she was an unmarried girl before, you Can you doubt her like this, thanks to your divorce."

Chen Qicheng bent down, put Doudou between Gu Lin and Lin Qiao, glanced back and forth at the three of them, and said, "Can you blame me for doubting you two, look You three, stand together like a family of three, and Doudou is like a child of the two of you."

Gu Lin raised the corners of his lips, hugged Doudou and said: "This is the fate of the three of us, some people's fate, probably It is destined."

Chen Qicheng was a little discouraged, Gu Lin chose Lin Qiao, his heart was so firm, and he never turned back, which made him a thousand times stronger than himself.

If it were another person, he would only retreat in the face of difficulties, but Gu Lin faced difficulties.

Chen Qicheng turned to Lin Qiao: "I'm sorry, those words just blurted out without thinking, I didn't really doubt you, I believe you."

Lin Qiao didn't care at all: "You can do whatever you want."

"I really envy you." Chen Qicheng said.

"Then you can continue to be envious." Gu Lin said.

Gu Lin, who is usually so serious, looked at Lin Qiao with gentle eyes, and Lin Qiao had a charming smile on her face, which was a look she had never had when she was with her.

Chen Qicheng was stimulated again, and he turned to Lin Qiao: "Third Aunt, Third Uncle just saw you look good on a whim, he is a person who rarely talks harshly, after a while you will know how cold, fierce and ruthless he is, You can't take it like everybody owes him hundreds of dollars. You don't want to..."

Gu Lin didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and directly pulled his wife and children around, kicked Chen Qicheng's ass in the air, and the latter jumped forward a few meters, adjusted his posture in the air, and landed At that time, he supported the ground with one hand and made a beautiful shape.

"Wow, Uncle Chen's posture is so handsome, Uncle Chen, you are so good, Dad, give me another kick." DouDou cheered, if Dad didn't hold his hand tightly, he would have applauded Uncle Chen.

Chen Qicheng stood up, patted the dirt on his pants, and just turned around to complain, when he saw that Gu Lin was not looking at him, his sharp eyes were fixed on one direction, and he also looked there.

Gu Lin let go of his wife and children, handed all the luggage to Chen Qicheng, and said to him very quickly: "Look at the two of them."

Chen Qicheng was keenly aware of the situation from his expression, and did not care about the situation. He went up to speak, and quickly took a few steps to stand beside Lin Qiao and DouDou.

Gu Lin quickly grabbed Dou Dou's hand and put it in Lin Qiao's hand again, saying, "Stay where you are and don't move."

Lin Qiao held Dou Dou's hand tightly, watching Gu Lin take a stride, the speed was as fast as a galloping lightning Ran out in a certain direction.

Lin Qiao looked at him from a distance, and saw him running up to a man holding a child, and stretched out his hand to tear off a wisp of fake beard from his face.

"Huo Wang, what have you done to stick a fake beard, where did the child come from? Be honest." Gu Lin shouted.

Seeing the liar again, Gu Lin wanted to beat him up, not to mention that he was holding a child in his hands and looked suspicious.

He still has to stick a fake beard on the train, and if he says he hasn't done anything wrong, he won't believe it.

Gu Lin saw that the child was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

"Of course it's my own child." The name this person made up was Gu Huowang. I don't know if it has anything to do with his real name, so let's call him Huowang.

When Huo Wang saw the stubble he had provoked a few days ago blocking the way, he was extremely flustered, his eyes rolled around, and he looked around for a suspicious escape direction.

"Nonsense, you don't have a child. After staying in the detention center for a few days, you came out and got a child." Gu Lin stared at the other party with a righteous spirit all over his body.

Seeing that the other party wanted to run in a panic, Gu Lin's palm turned into a knife and slashed at the other party's wrist. Taking advantage of his weakness, he easily took the child in his hand and held him in his arms unskillfully. Huo Wang took this opportunity to move aside. Jumping, Gu Lin took a few steps, kicked in the air, Huo Wang flew a few meters, and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

"Come here, help, the soldiers are beating people and robbing their children." Huo Wang's wife howled loudly, but she didn't care about her partner and was about to run away.

Gu Lin also kicked her, and kicked her directly to the side of Huo Wang. He restrained his strength when dealing with the lesbian. This kick was not heavy, and he stepped on the opponent's back to prevent her from getting up.

Passengers around quickly surrounded the past.

Doudou applauded Gu Lin: "Dad is awesome."

He adores his father very much, and his father is his hero. He hopes that he can be as brave and mighty as his father.

"Third Uncle has seen them?" Chen Qicheng asked after seeing Gu Lin quickly and decisively kick the two of them to the ground.

Lin Qiao briefly explained what the two liars wanted to do to trick Doudou away.

Chen Qicheng sneered: "These two liars really deserve it. The third uncle is a man who must take revenge, and they have good fruits to eat." Lin Qiao said, "

These two look like human traffickers."

If they were human traffickers, they would It is reasonable to take risks in order to cheat Doudou to the camp. After all, ordinary people will not deliberately cheat for the sake of sex.

"I'll go over and help." Chen Qicheng said.

Gu Lin asked him to stay where he was, he couldn't leave Lin Qiao and Doudou alone, so he took them both there.

"Third Uncle, send them to the police station." Chen Qicheng said as the three squeezed into the crowd.

I don't know if it is the rope that he brought with him, Gu Lin threw a piece of rope to Chen Qicheng, who quickly tied the two wrists, and the more they struggled, the tighter the rope became.

Gu Lin has a little experience in raising children, and she can tell that something is wrong with the child in her arms, screaming and patting, the child is in a deep sleep, and won't wake up at all.

He glanced at his wife and children, and then said to Chen Qicheng: "Look at the two liars, wait until I call the Beicheng District Police Station."

The station is under the jurisdiction of the Beicheng District Police Station.

Chen Qicheng didn't hesitate, and kicked the two suspicious people to the ground again.

Gu Lin took Lin Qiao's mother and son to borrow the phone from the station to call the police station. Within ten minutes, the police arrived in a police car and brought Huo Wang and his wife into the police car. There was still time before boarding the car. Gu Lin's family of three He also followed to the police station, and Chen Qicheng naturally followed.

"Gu Tuan, we didn't find anything wrong with them, so we released them after a few days of detention. I didn't expect that they got a child from nowhere, so we interrogated them right away." Director Li said a little ashamedly. He and Gu Lin are comrades-in-arms, and the relationship is very good.

Huowang and his wife gave the child sleeping pills, and lay on the bed in the police station lounge for twenty minutes, and the little girl woke up slowly.

She was obviously still in a daze, when she saw Lin Qiao, she stretched out her small hand and held Lin Qiao's hand tightly, saying softly, "Auntie".

Dou Dou looked at the strange child's actions very affectionately: "...Mom, are you recruiting a child?" He remembered that when he met Xiaoshu for the first time, Xiaoshu would also rob him of his mother. The child looked at the five or six-year-old, Lin Qiao asked

: "Where is your home?"

Said: "She is talking about the Naval Research Institute."

It is still easy for two children who are not very articulate to communicate.

"Your home is in the Ship Research Institute?" Lin Qiao asked.

The child nodded: "Yes, Auntie."

"She is the child of my elder brother's colleague." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin said: "That's easy to handle. Call the Ship Research Institute and ask who has lost a child."

He glanced at his watch: "We can stay here for an hour and a half at most."

After half an hour, A girl with eyes swollen from crying opened the door and ran in. First she saw Gu Lin who was tall and handsome, she shrank subconsciously, and then she saw the woman sitting by the bed, she shouted in surprise: "Lin Qiao. "

Lin Qiao could see who was coming. She had attended the end-of-year party at the Naval Research Institute before, and had also gone to collect her elder brother's salary. It's normal for someone to know her, but she didn't know the girl in front of her.

"I'm Director Luo's daughter, Luo Qing. I lost my little niece. I heard she's here." The visitor said.

Lin Qiao didn't expect that it was an acquaintance's child who happened to be rescued, she stood up and pointed to the bed: "She is here, the traffickers must have given her sleeping pills, she is in a daze now." "Xiao Su, are you okay

? It scared me to death, all relatives and friends are looking for you, if you lose your grandpa, you will kill me." Luo Qing rushed to the bed and hugged the little niece, crying and laughing, "I can't I found you."

"How did you lose Xiaosu?" Lin Qiao asked.

"My elder brother and sister-in-law went back to my sister-in-law's family for the funeral. I took Xiaosu with me these few days. She was playing outside the gate of the family's courtyard yesterday. After I finished cooking, I went to find her and disappeared. Who knew I would meet a human trafficker." Luo Qing was delighted again. I'm afraid, and I'm still restless.

"Xiaosu, she has seen you too." Luo Qing said.

"No wonder she took my hand as soon as she woke up." Lin Qiao said.

"Did the traffickers take you away directly? Xiaosu." Doudou asked.

Lin Qiao and Luo Qing also wanted to know, and they all looked at Xiaosu.

"Give me Shrimp Crisp Tang." Xiao Su said.

"You can have a snack, you can't take candy from strangers." Doudou frowned and said.

The grown-up tone eased the atmosphere in the room.

While Lin Qiao was talking to Luo Qing, Gu Rin and Chen Qicheng were going to take notes. Within two minutes, two more people entered the lounge, Director Luo and her wife.

Director Luo’s daughter-in-law looked around the house and threw herself on the bedside to hug her little niece, shedding tears, "My poor granddaughter, you are well, you are not hurt.

" After beating Luo Qing, she was so scared that she quickly hid behind Lin Qiao and said, "Dad, you go beat the traffickers, don't hit me."

She pushed Lin Qiao forward and introduced, "Dad, this is Lin Qiao. Lin Huaixuan's younger sister, she and his partner recognized the trafficker at the train station and snatched Xiaosu from the trafficker."

Director Luo didn't really want to hit him, so he lowered his arms and thanked Lin Qiao a thousand times: "Thanks You two, you are the benefactors of the Luo family."

Lin Qiao said, "You're welcome, we are all acquaintances."

This time Huo Wang and his wife can't be relied on, and they confessed that Xiao Su was from a man named Da Jinya I bought it in my hand and planned to take it to the south to sell it.

Director Li guesses that Da Jinya is the leader of an individual trafficker, and plans to catch Da Jinya based on the limited clues provided by Huowang and his wife.

Lin Qiao didn't expect to find out the gang of personal traffickers before setting off.

When Director Luo saw Gu Lin, he thanked him again, and even bowed solemnly.

"If you have time, you must come to thank you." Director Luo said.

Lin Qiao said politely: "You're welcome, Director Luo, human traffickers are the worst, no matter who encounters them, they will definitely not stand idly by, we will take the train to the southern island soon." Gu Lin glanced at his watch and said:

" Let's go."

Lin Qiao held up Doudou's hand, and as he walked out, he took the opportunity to ask about the situation of Luo Suo's elder brother: "Will my elder brother return to China?"

Luo Suo head nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to protect him when he comes back. work."

If he has the ability, he will definitely try his best to make the best use of talents like Lin Huaixuan.

Lin Qiao thanked, "Thank you, Director Luo."

It would be best to get Director Luo's guarantee, and he will definitely do his best. If Director Luo can protect himself, Lin Huaixuan will have an extra layer of protection.

Director Li of the police station arranged a police car to take the family of three to the train station. With 20 minutes left to check the tickets, Chen Qicheng bought a platform ticket and sent them to the train.

"Lin Qiao, I'll go to the island to see you when I have family leave." Chen Qicheng said while looking at Gu Lin with a smile, intending to kill him.

Gu Lin kicked his ass with his toes: "Get out."

The three of them got on the train, and they bought hard sleeper tickets, from Qingcheng to Rongcheng, 38 yuan per ticket, four people in one compartment, upper berth They are two young people who are on a business trip.

Seeing Doudou's cuteness, the two naturally wanted to strike up a conversation, but seeing Gu Lin's stern face full of evil spirits, they dared not speak up.

Lin Qiao took out the biscuits that had been sandwiched with sauced beef and lettuce, gave one to himself, one to Dou Dou, and three to Gu Lin, and ate them with pickles. Dou Dou ate half of it, and Gu Lin took care of the rest.

In the afternoon, the two young men read for a while and were really bored, so they started talking to Lin Qiao and the others.

One of them is Lin Qiao's senior brother from Qingcheng University who was assigned to work in the Transportation Bureau. The senior brother said, "No wonder I see you familiar, maybe we met in school." Gu Lin listened with a straight face:

Probably He has been on the island for a long time, and he is out of touch with the times. Do young people nowadays strike up conversations with beautiful women like this, and they only say that they look familiar, which effectively pulls them closer together.

Lin Qiao said: "You guys are lucky this year, and you can all be assigned similar jobs. We didn't have any jobs this year." "Are

your children all this old? Isn't our school not allowing marriage?" asked the senior brother.

"This is our adopted child." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin felt that the young man talked too much, and just wanted to stop him from asking more questions, but he heard the other party say: "It turns out that you adopted it, and you two have a husband and wife look, and the child looks pretty good like your husband and wife. Like, it's fate."

Hearing what the other person said, Gu Lin's expression eased, he found a Russian book from his bag, sat next to Lin Qiao, and showed it to Lin Qiao: "You Qingcheng University Students should be able to understand this!"

Lin Qiao felt like she was reading a bible: "...I don't understand."

"I'll teach you." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao: "..."

Forced to learn a foreign language for half an hour, Gu Lin didn't finish Teacher Gu's work until dinner time. He used a military kettle to fetch hot water to dry, and the family began to eat dinner.

This time they ate dim sum with sauced beef, and the three of them shared a canned orange.

Before eight o'clock, it got dark and the train was swaying, just to hypnotize.

Doudou wanted to sleep with Lin Qiao, so Gu Lin put both hands under Doudou's armpits, and carried the little boy over: "You sleep with me, how can she sleep well if you squeeze with your mother?

"

DouDou came back with a hug: "Let him sleep with me. The two of us can squeeze into the same bed, but the two of you can't." Just right.

Gu Lin didn't say anything more.

Have a safe night.

In the evening of the second day, after the two young people got off the bus, the two upper berths were empty, and there were no more passengers.

The family of three went to wash their hands and came back for dinner. The beef had already been eaten, so they ate the pig's trotters that had been chopped into small pieces while eating snacks.

Gu Lin began to educate his daughter-in-law: "In the future, don't talk to people outside, don't you think Huo Wang and the others are human traffickers, you can't tell who is a bad person and who has evil intentions.

" It's tight, someone can come up to talk to you in a train ride.

Lin Qiao said: "Ordinary people can't buy sleeper tickets. Only those on business trips and cadres can buy sleeper tickets. I think that even if these people are bad, they are only morally bad, and they don't know how to buy and sell people."

Just like Wei Huimin in her dream.

Gu Lin thinks that people who have studied in college are different. What the wife said is very reasonable, but he still feels that the life of the daughter-in-law used to be too superior, and she didn't know enough about the sinister human heart, and he really didn't want the daughter-in-law to talk to strangers, especially the older ones. Spirited young man.

He said earnestly: "You see Huo Wang and his wife look like dogs, aren't they also bad people? You are so good-looking, you are the most eye-catching in the crowd, you can see you at a glance, let alone you Talk to people more, and don’t reveal your situation to them.”

Lin Qiao looked at his overly serious expression and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand, but you are exaggerating. I am afraid that you are the only one who can see me in the crowd." Gu Lin's expression relaxed, and he

also Then he twitched the corners of his mouth: "That must be, no matter where you are, I can find you at once."

Strange to say, it was as if a radar was installed on his body, which could accurately locate his wife's location.

In the next few days, the family of three felt very comfortable in the hard sleeper compartment.

——Besides

, Wei Huimin and Xu Songqiu are newlyweds. If they were an ordinary couple, they should have a good life sweetly, but Wei Huimin had just been scolded by his uncle and then dismissed from his job. He was depressed, which inevitably made Xu Songqiu look bad. look. Xu Songqiu felt jealous because of Lin Qiao's marriage to Gao Zhi, and Wei Huimin didn't want to have sex with her, and he didn't want to talk too much, but she found that the other party was willing to show a happy and loving appearance in front of the outside, which was not the same as her It coincided with each other, but this feeling of inconsistency made her very sad.

On Sunday afternoon, they went to the home of Xu Songqiu's second sister for work issues. The second brother-in-law works in Qu Gewei Association. Both husband and wife greeted them with smiles and warm hospitality. It boosted the morale of the two.

On the way back, seeing no one on the path, Xu Songqiu also said: "My second sister said that the leader thinks highly of my second brother-in-law, and he is the most promising person in Qugewei. You see, my second brother-in-law likes you so much. He is very optimistic about you and thinks that you are capable and have a bright future. It's good that he thinks highly of you. We won't be troubled by anything in the future. Don't be angry about Lin Qiao and Gu Lin. They were just dispatched to the island. Here Although it's Gu Lin's hometown, none of his close relatives are here, so he won't have much ability."

Wei Huimin was appreciated, and felt that Xu Songqiu had found a good match, and the two families belonged to a strong alliance, so it was rare to say something to her with a smile on his face. "From now on, I will keep in touch with your second sister and second brother-in-law." I

was happy to see my partner, and I went to the gate of the family courtyard. In order to show my love, Xu Songqiu moved to Wei Huimin's side. Whoever saw it was sweet The young couple.

The two were talking, when they heard a few whistles, they jumped down from the wall. Chapter 21 (2)

Shadow stood in front of the two of them. The man was tall and tall, dressed in white and black trousers, with his hands in his pockets. He stood in a slack posture, and said slowly, "Which shameless person mentions Lin Qiao again, why mention her?"

Wei Huimin:? ? ?

Chapter 22

Wei Huimin immediately sensed that the other person was not kind. He was very shrewd. Anyone who dared to find fault with him was either a gangster or a bum who wanted to fight, or someone with some background.

On the surface, the other party is smooth, but there is a sense of righteousness between his brows, obviously he is not that kind of person.

"Comrade, may I ask who you are?" Wei Huimin asked nicely.

Xu Songqiu held Wei Huimin's arm tightly to give him a hint, and immediately smiled, and said enthusiastically: "Chen Lianchang, why are you here? You have already arrived at the door, let's go in and have a cup of tea." Only Chen

Lianchang With three words, Wei Huimin knew who the other party was.

This is what he couldn't figure out, since the Chen family had resigned from the Lin family, they were afraid that the Lin family would hurt their family, why did Chen Qicheng come to him to find fault.

Because his family is related to the Gu family?

Chen Qicheng sneered: "You don't deserve to talk to me in such a warm tone, do I know you very well? Why do I appear here, you two white-eyed wolf gentle scum are worthy of mentioning my third uncle and third aunt!"

Xu The smile that Song Qiu tried hard to force froze on his face: "..."

When I saw Chen Qicheng at Lin's house before, I thought he was well-bred and polite, but now he is really crazy and obsessed. Death, but there is nothing to do with him.

She also couldn't figure out what kind of charm Lin Qiao had. It was obvious that the Chen family had retired and abandoned her, so why would Chen Qicheng still want to stand out for her!

Could it be that these men were all dazzled by Lin Qiao's beauty!

Wei Huimin didn't dare to show dissatisfaction on his face, but he slandered in his heart, this person is a soldier, scum, scum, how did he become a company commander!

Chen Qicheng slanted his mouth, smiled wildly, and said: "I came here to tell you something, if you don't want others to know, you can't do it yourself." It seemed that

he was in control of all the bad things they did.

Wei Huimin was very annoyed, he didn't do anything, but was threatened by Gu Lin and Chen Qicheng one after another.

The two are different. When Gu Lin threatens people, people feel that he is standing on the moral high ground with justice, as if he is a villain. Due to his status, at least he will not do anything. But this Chen Qicheng seems to have no sense of morality, he looks naked and undisguised that I don't like you and I want to beat you, and I will beat you if I disagree with you.

It's so frustrating that you want to explode.

Wei Huimin can only speak in a dignified manner, and has no experience in dealing with hooligans, but the person in front of him obviously doesn't like that.

But he didn't want to take the initiative to provoke these people, so he immediately explained in a nice way: "Chen Lianchang, no matter what you mean, I think there is a misunderstanding." Xu Songqiu hurriedly said with a smile: "It must be a misunderstanding, I

am Relatives of the Lin family, we definitely won’t do anything.”

Chen Qicheng slapped his hands a few times and snorted, “Damn relatives, take a look in the mirror, don’t put gold on your face, the Lin family will provide you with food, drink and reading. Is the servant spouting shit all over his mouth, and you don’t know what kind of virtue you two have? It’s best to misunderstand, and I’ll give you four words of advice, so you can

do it yourself.” “Do you know what I’ll do in the rest of my life?” he said slowly .

"..."

"I've been focusing on you two for the rest of my life."

"..."

Chen Qicheng stared at the two of them, satisfied to see that they were at a loss, whistled a few times triumphantly, and brushed against them with unrecognizable steps. Over the shoulder, in the direction they came, and left.

He could let Lin Qiao down, but he absolutely couldn't tolerate these two villains jumping around to destroy Lin Qiao and the Lin family.

He will keep an eye on the two villains to the end.

Wei Huimin silently looked at Chen Qicheng's back. He had never seen such a crazy person walking sideways.

When Chen Qicheng walked away, Wei Huimin's voice was low and hoarse: "This company commander Chen's family conditions are not ordinary?"

He knew a thing or two, but since the other party is so arrogant, there should be something he doesn't understand.

Xu Songqiu also felt aggrieved. Ever since her brother-in-law entered the Gewei Society and married Wei Huimin, her tail was about to go up to the sky, but this time she learned to be smart, and did not quarrel. She chose to calm down and look at her husband's face. Dark gray, with his chest heaving, he said cautiously: "He didn't say anything, and besides, he will definitely return to the army soon, so we don't want to be as knowledgeable as him." Wei Huimin was aggrieved and angry, in order to maintain his

dignity , he promised Xu Songqiu that he didn't mind this matter, but he couldn't swallow it, so he inquired about the situation of the Chen family, and the situation of the Chen family was far beyond his imagination.

He remembered a sentence, the tree is big and the roots are deep, and the roots are deep and the leaves are luxuriant.

Although Chen Qicheng will return to the army, his relatives and friends are all in Qingcheng.

How could he dare to offend the Chen family, so he finally had to come to a six-character conclusion and behave like a man with his tail between his legs.

——When

I arrived in Rongcheng, I felt a hot and humid air wrapped around my body, which was far less dry than the summer in the north.

Gu Lin and the others didn't waste time, and set off from Rongcheng Wharf

to the island by big boat. The big ship to Qiongya Island is an irregular flight. If they didn't take the big ship, they would have to take the army's landing craft.

"Is there a toilet on the boat?" Lin Qiao was worried that she would have to pee on the way.

Gu Lin said: "Yes, but the hygiene cannot be guaranteed."

Before sailing, Lin Qiao even went to the bathroom with her bag.

Gu Lin was also worried that his daughter-in-law and son would get seasick, but they were all in good spirits. Seeing some people standing on the edge of the deck railing, blowing the sea breeze and waving goodbye to their relatives, Doudou was also eager to try, Gu Lin refused to let his wife and son go on the deck, holding his daughter-in-law with his left hand and his son with his right hand, letting them sit in the cabin in an orderly manner .

The big ship sailed into the vast sea, and the color of the sea water turned into a blue-green color that is difficult to describe in words. The sea water meets the blue sky, which is so beautiful.

After more than an hour, they arrived at Qiongya Island.

After landing, it became lively. There were many people on the shore, some were waiting to pick up letters and mail, some came to pick up their relatives, and some soldiers were carrying grain, oil and other supplies.

The aborigines on the island include Han, Li and Miao. The island is relatively closed. The People’s Liberation Army once visited in the 1940s and 1950s, and a small number of educated youths visited in the 1950s.

A granny with a scarf on her head, a dark blue national costume, red juice at the corner of her mouth, and tattoos on her face passed by them and was calling her daughter in Li dialect. Warped hands.

Lin Qiao took two quick steps while holding the pocket, keeping her away from the Li nationality grandmother.

Among the crowd, the soldiers in white military uniforms were the most conspicuous. From a distance, soldiers ran towards them. When they got close, they all stood still and gave a military salute with a snap. The

leading soldier said, "Commander Gu, we are here to pick you up."

"Let's carry it."

"Warmly welcome Head Gu, his sister-in-law, and the children Doudou, Chi Chi Chi Chi."

They clapped their luggage on their wrists and clapped desperately.

"Sister-in-law, the flowers are for you. They were picked from the mountain. Master Feng said that we would like to warmly celebrate the resignation of Head Gu." A soldier enthusiastically handed over a large bouquet of bright pink bougainvilleas.

Gu Lin: "..."

Lin Qiao really didn't expect this scene, it was quite unexpected, she took the flowers with a decent smile on her face and said, "Thank you." I don't know how long they waited, but the

triangle The plum blossoms are intense, but the petals are a little wilted.

"Come on, let's sing a song to welcome them. I am a soldier, rise up." "

I am a soldier, from the common people, and defeated the Japanese invaders..."

The voice was full of masculinity, loud and clear, Surprised the seabirds near the pier scattered and flew into the distance.

Gu Lin: "..."

Who came up with this bad idea, it is sending flowers and singing, I have never sent flowers to my daughter-in-law!

Listening to this passionate song, Lin Qiao's scalp tingled, it must be too passionate.

I don't know how Gu Lin felt, but he just stood there straight, with no expression on his face, waited patiently for them to finish singing, waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly." "

Head Gu, we have already cleaned up your house. Grain, oil, rice, noodles, and coal are also ready."

"Thank you for your hard work," Gu Lin said.

"It's not hard."

The soldiers carried things, and some soldiers picked up Doudou and let him sit on their shoulders, walking forward with the couple surrounded.

This small island is lush with vegetation, coconut trees and palm trees can be seen everywhere. To Lin Qiao, who is pure from the north, it is full of fresh southern style.

"We don't like to grow vegetables or food on our island, but there are many wild coconut trees and banana trees, and you can eat whatever you want," the soldier said.

DouDou felt very excited when he heard the words "eat whatever you want", "That's great, I like to eat." He cheered.

"There's still plenty of seafood on our island, so you're guaranteed to eat as much as you want." The soldier said cheerfully seeing Doudou happy.

Lin Qiao felt good, so she didn't have to worry about not getting enough to eat.

"Uncle, why did the grandma on the island paint on her face? The corner of her mouth is still bleeding." Doudou asked.

The soldier explained to him: "Grandma's mouth is not bleeding, she is chewing betel nuts. The older grandmas of the Li nationality have tattoos. They think tattoos can ward off evil spirits and look good, but young girls don't have tattoos anymore." "I like this island

. DouDou breathed a sigh of relief, he is not afraid now, it is great to live on the island with his parents, not to mention the delicious food on the island. But the island is much more desolate than Lin Qiao had imagined. The boulders at the pier are painted with big characters "Guard the Island, Defend the Country." Going east is the original islander's residence, and going west is the naval camp. Leaving the pier , did not see a few people.

The camp is next to the family courtyard, both on the hillside, and the highest nearby hill is a lookout post.

The area of the family courtyard is not large. For the sake of war preparation, each single-family courtyard has a stone wall. The house and the wall are particularly strong and can resist earthquakes and typhoons.

After the soldiers left, the family of three began to pack their things. Lin Qiao was very satisfied with the house: "It's bigger than I thought, more spacious, and very clean." Once you enter the door, you will find the living room. There are two rooms on the left and right

. On the left side of the yard, the toilet is in the corner of the entrance to the yard.

The window panes, tables and chairs were all spotless, and the sunlight shone into the room, making the room very bright.

There are briquettes in the kitchen and two stoves. The soldiers have helped buy pots and pans, rice noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings. They have also prepared some shelf-stable vegetables such as potatoes and radishes, and even some eggs.

The luggage they had transported before was neatly placed on the bed and table.

"Hurry up and pack your things, we will live here for a long time in the future." Gu Lin began to unpack the luggage, taking out bedding, clothes, books, and scattered daily necessities.

"Look at this bed, it's a brown trampoline. I specially asked someone to find a craftsman who can make a brown trampoline." Gu Lin said.

Palm trampoline is made of palm fibers twisted into ropes and then woven into beds.

Lin Qiao saw that the bed was big enough, so she must have taken care of it. The three of them slept quite spaciously. The legs of the bed and the side of the bed are made of wood, covered with a dense layer of brown thread.

Gu Lin sat on the edge of the bed, patted the seat next to her, and said to Lin Qiao, "Come and try it, how does it compare with your original bed?" Lin Qiao walked

over, tried it, and said, "This bed is really good. , stretchy, and cool."

DouDou had already climbed onto the bed, using the brown trampoline as a trampoline, bouncing on it. It seems that the bed is quite elastic, and the little one had a great time.

"It's fine if you like it." Gu Lin felt happy sitting on the bedside with his wife. He stood up and stretched out his arms to greet Doudou: "Have you played enough, son, come down and pack up with your parents."

Lin Qiao found out that Gu Lin really knew how to do housework, and it was quick and easy. He put all the quilts on the big bed, and within two minutes, the bed was neatly made, and even the quilts were folded into tofu cubes like cut by a knife.

Lin Qiao watched around with Doudou, both of them were amazed at Gu Lin's speed of tidying up the housework.

Complimented by his daughter-in-law and son, Gu Lin became more and more active in his work. He picked up the blanket and walked to the bedroom on the west side of the living room. His son's single bed was placed in this room.

"Should we move DouDou's bed to the room next to our bedroom? He is still young, and he will be afraid if he is far away from the adult's room." Lin Qiao said.

"We'll make some noise at night." Gu Lin approached, and whispered in Lin Qiao's ear with his lips.

Lin Qiao's pretty face suddenly turned red: "..."

What is he thinking!

Seeing his daughter-in-law blushing, Gu Lin's mind fluttered briefly, and after making the bed, he went to tidy up the kitchen.

DouDou finally got rid of the car and boat and was free. He just ran around the yard to stretch his muscles and bones and returned to the house. When he saw his mother's face was red, he said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? You are blushing, is it hot?"

DouDou The little hand took the hem of mother's clothes and asked.

"Ask your dad." Lin Qiao turned her face away, went out to the living room and put the books of the three of them on the bookshelf.

With Gu Lin's strong labor force, everything was soon in its place, neatly arranged, and the room was tidy and clean.

Two more soldiers greeted Gu Lin at the door, and after Gu Lin responded, they entered the door and said, "Gu Tuan, this is the seafood that was caught from the sea today, including yellow feet, red shells, and langoustine.

" In the bucket, another soldier held vegetables such as water melon and cabbage, which he said were grown on the land reclaimed by the army.

Lin Qiao went into the living room, opened the cupboard, found peanuts, broad beans, etc. from the food that had been brought in a long time ago, packed a big bag for the little soldiers, handed them and said, "It's some snacks, take them back and share them. "

There are so many, sister-in-law, how can you be ashamed." The little soldier scratched his head and said.

Seeing that Gu Lin nodded, the little soldier took the oil paper bag and thanked his sister-in-law.

After the little soldier left, Gu Lin used the wormwood dried in the yard to fumigate the house to repel mosquitoes, and it was time to make dinner after work.

"There are few thorns on yellow feet, steam two today, and raise the rest first." Gu Lin said.

He took a bottle of liquor from the cupboard, dripped a few drops into the mouths of the remaining four fish, and put the fish in the bucket, saying that it would keep the fish alive for a few more days.

Lin Qiao found out that although he had a tank of water, he was saving water when cleaning fish and shrimp, so he asked him if it was inconvenient to use water on the island.

"Our island is short of fresh water. The wells dug out are all bitter and unpalatable. The water the islanders drink is salty and astringent. In the past, when water was transported from outside the island to the island, each soldier only had half a catty of water to use every day. You have to use the water in the reservoir for bathing, there is a lot of rain in this season, and a spring was found in the mountain, which solved the problem of drinking water, but the road is a bit far away, and this tank of water was picked up by soldiers from the mountain." Gu Lin He looked at his daughter-in-law with a little worry.

He has all kinds of worries. He is worried that life on the island is too difficult for his delicate daughter-in-law to bear; he is worried that his wife is too thin and the typhoon will blow her away; Lin Qiao felt that she couldn't survive without enough water, but since she came to the island, she would definitely overcome all kinds of difficulties and live a good life. She said, "Then let's save some water." Gu Lin did not show any disgust, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "There must be fresh water on our island. I will invite someone to dig a deep well as soon as possible to solve the water problem for the islanders and soldiers." Gu Lin continued to wash the fish and shrimp, feeling that he was I can always feel the admiring eyes of my daughter-in-law, so I work with extra vigor.

Lin Qiao and DouDou sat on the small bench by the kitchen door and waited for their meal. She watched Gu Lin skillfully light the fire, steam the rice, cut the yellow feet into thin slices, marinate them with soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings and put them on the plate. Steam in a pan.

"Is there really no need for help?" Lin Qiao asked.

"No, you two just wait to eat." Gu Lin said.

He thought it was too hot, so he took off his short-sleeved military shirt and only wore a white hurdle vest.

Standing in front of the low pot and stove, Gu Lin looked even taller. His figure was upright. Even if he had to lower his head when cutting vegetables, his neck and back were beautifully contoured.

The white vest fits just right, highlighting his good figure, with a broad back, tight chest muscles, and a narrow waist and abdomen that is strong and neat. She has never seen anyone who can wear a loose and ordinary white vest so much.

There is a wind blowing, taking away the heat of the day, kneading pumpkin seeds with my son, and watching the macho cooking in the quiet yard of my home feels very pleasant and eye-catching.

"I didn't expect you to be able to cook." The man turned his head unexpectedly, Lin Qiao met his gaze, and quickly found a topic to talk about.

"In the future, I will often cook for you two." Gu Lin said casually seeing his daughter-in-law looking at him intently with a smile on her face.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he said it smoothly. He can cook seafood, but only steamed and boiled. He didn't pay much attention to it before, as long as the rice is cooked and eaten to fill his stomach.

what to do? Already boasted.

Ten minutes later, Gu Lin had brought the seafood to the table. Lin Qiao cracked two more eggs and made a bowl of steamed egg custard. The family of three sat around the table to eat.

Gu Lin has already peeled a lot of shrimp, and picked up the shrimp meat and fed it to his wife and children.

His movements are not unfamiliar at all, very smooth.

"It's delicious, the shrimp meat is very tender, and the heat is just right." Lin Qiao praised.

Gu Lin was flattered by his daughter-in-law, and he fed his daughter-in-law and son while eating.

After eating a piece of fish, a piece of scallop meat and a langoustine, Lin Qiao refused to let Dou Dou eat it. She said, "It's enough. You look so thin. Who knows if your stomach can accept seafood. Insurance. For sake, eat less first."

"Your mother is right." Gu Lin said.

Dou Dou was eating happily: "..."

Lin Qiao put a bowl of rice and mixed it with egg custard for Dou Dou to eat.

Doudou has a bitter face, it's not fair, mom and dad eat seafood, and he eats egg custard and rice.

After eating, it was Gu Lin who went to wash the dishes again. The master housekeeper only took three minutes to wash the dishes and chopsticks. All the items in the kitchen were put back in place, tidy and tidy, and then filled a pot of water and put it on the stove. burn.

"I'm going to the camp and I'll be back soon." Gu Lin said, "Wait for the water to boil, and remember to seal the stove." "

Well, I know, go quickly." Lin Qiao said.

After Gu Lin left, Lin Qiao poured the boiled water into the thermos bottle, sealed the stove, closed the door, and the mother and son went to the bathroom to start bathing in water-saving mode.

The little guy stripped naked, Lin Qiao wet his body with a small amount of water, lathered it with soap, rinsed it with a small amount of water, wiped it off, put on dry clothes, and finished the bath.

"Go to the house and read comic books." Lin Qiao said.

DouDou ran into the house obediently. Lin Qiao almost took a shower with the same water-saving steps, but her hair was thick and she used a little more water. After taking a shower, when she returned to the house, DouDou was reading a comic book .

Lin Qiao saw that he was already very sleepy, but the little guy was very excited about the new environment, so he refused to sleep.

It turns out that there are only more than 20 officers and soldiers guarding the island. After deciding to establish a garrison area, a regiment will be stationed here. Gu Lin is the highest officer on the island. Limited, only one battalion has come now.

When the infrastructure is built, the other three battalions will also enter the island.

Gu Lin went to the dormitory, chatted casually with the officers and soldiers, missed his wife and children, and came back within an hour.

When he got home, Gu Lin went straight to the bedroom and saw his wife and children waiting for him, feeling very novel.

Chapter 23

Before adopting Doudou, he was still living in a single dormitory. Who would have thought that in just a few months, he would have a wife and children, and the family would live in the same house, and he would have his own small family.

Gu Lin saw his daughter-in-law's black and thick hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a light silk pajamas with short sleeves and shorts, sitting on the bed and reading to her son. The face is delicate and beautiful, the skin is delicate, porcelain white and crystal clear.

Gu Lin has never seen her use any high-end products, probably this pajamas were worn by Lin Qiao before.

He moved his Adam's apple slightly, looked down at his wheat-colored arm, and said to himself that he has such rough skin and thick flesh, how lucky he is to marry such a thin-skinned and tender-skinned wife.

But he didn't have any charming thoughts, and there was a little black dumpling next to his wife.

DouDou was lying next to Lin Qiao, rolling around happily, seeing his father come back, he became more energetic and refused to sleep.

"Are you done?"

"Yeah."

Gu Lin came back from the shower, and began to flicker Doudou: "Doudou, don't you sleep in your own room? A man should sleep by himself."

Doudou blinked his eyes, sat up and lay down again, pursed his mouth The arc of the smile: "Of course I want to sleep with Mom and Dad."

Before Gu Lin could continue fooling around, the lights suddenly went out.

Gu Lin touched the bed with the faint light from the moon, and explained: "We only have a small power plant on the island, which cannot meet the needs of the army, fishery and agriculture. The electricity is limited at night, and the islanders are even more stressed with electricity. ,The island is preparing to build a large-scale power plant, and when it is completed, the problems of insufficient power supply and unstable power consumption can be solved."

Doudou was very happy, holding his father in one hand and mother in the other, cheering: "It's dark, it's dark Hei can't do anything, so go to bed quickly."

"The happiest thing in the world is to sleep with mom and dad." Doudou lay down, his voice full of laughter.

On the left is his mother, and on the right is his father. This is a wonderful life he never enjoyed in his previous life.

Gu Lin patted his ass: "Stinky boy, you are happy, but your father is not happy." "

Why does father feel unhappy? Isn't it good to have a wife and children by his side?" Doudou didn't understand.

Gu Lin: It's not that you are in the way.

He looked at Lin Qiao, saw that she was already lying down, seemed to be smiling, and lay down himself.

Doudou first rolled over to Lin Qiao's side, kissed his mother, then rolled over to Gu Lin's side, kissed his father, and commented: "Mom's face is smooth, and Dad's beard is prickly, Mom, come and kiss Dad." Try, he has a good beard."

Lin Qiao said with a smile, "I won't kiss anymore."

Gu Lin stretched his long arms over the pockets and rubbed Lin Qiao's long hair, saying in an intimate tone, "It's been too long these days. I'm tired, go to bed early."

"Well, go to bed early." Lin Qiao said.

"Sleep." DouDou cheered, lay down obediently, curled up, and stuck to Lin Qiao's arm like a kitten.

Gu Lin was not used to going to bed so early, so he tilted his head to look at Lin Qiao, seeing Lin Qiao laying quietly on his back, his figure undulating like waves, he looked very soft, turned back and looked at his hard tablet again body, silently made a swallowing movement.

He can't sleep.

"Lin Qiao, are you asleep?" Gu Lin asked in a muffled voice.

"No." Lin Qiao replied.

They thought that Doudou had fallen asleep, but the little guy got up all at once, sat up straight and said, "I want to go back to my own room." He didn't know why, but felt that he should sleep by himself

and leave this room to his parents.

Lin Qiao grabbed his little hand and asked, "Is Doudou afraid of the dark? If you are afraid of the dark, you can sleep with your parents."

Doudou looked into the darkness, her eyes sparkled, and she took a deep breath: "Doudou is not afraid."

Seeing the little guy crawling over Gu Lin and preparing to get out of bed, Gu Lin was overjoyed, turned on the flashlight to illuminate him, sat up and said, "Doudou is too sensible, Dad will go with you.

" The joy in Rin's words made him pursed his lips and smiled silently. She got up and followed behind the father and son. She was sleepy and tired. She had entered a half-sleep state of unconsciousness and was walking only by instinct. The two adults followed him through the living room to his room, and the little guy jumped onto the bed. , with his head upside down, his little ass upright, his little face facing outwards, he quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

What a well-behaved baby, who can fall asleep without coaxing himself.

The couple stood by the bed to confirm that DouDou had fallen asleep. Lin Qiao bent down and turned DouDou over so that he lay on his back with his shirt tucked into his shorts to save his stomach from drying out at night.

The little one slept soundly.

Lin Qiao said, "Let's go back, it's hot, there's no need to cover him with a blanket or tell him to pee."

They went back to the master bedroom, and there were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere immediately changed.

A very thin towel was draped over Lin Qiao's abdomen. Gu Lin thought it was too hot, so he just lay down wearing a vest and shorts.

With Lin Qiao by his side, Gu Lin felt that there was a subtle fragrance in the air, which smelled very good, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Lin Qiao didn't fall asleep either. Seeing Gu Lin lying motionless with hands and feet together, she waited for a few minutes and finally said a little embarrassedly: "Hurry up." Suddenly came

this sentence, Gu Lin didn't understand, and asked: "Hurry up!" What are you doing?"

Lin Qiao pulled up the towel and covered her face, and lowered her voice again: "What do you say?" The voice

was soft and sweet, Gu Lin felt as if a feather was brushing against his heart, he knew Lin Qiao Qiao told him to hurry up and do something.

The daughter-in-law asked him to make a quick decision as if to complete the task.

He turned to remove the towel covering Lin Qiao's face, and said solemnly, "Lin Qiao, I'm not in a hurry, we can talk about it when you're ready." How can this be interesting if it's too fast

?

His handsome face was just above her side. In the faint moonlight, Lin Qiao could feel his three-dimensional and handsome features, deep eyebrows and eyes, and he was looking at her without blinking.

Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Okay, we'll talk about it later, Gu Lin, you're so kind."

Gu Lin said in his heart that he didn't want to be a good person in front of his wife in bed.

He supported his body with his elbows, still kept facing Lin Qiao sideways, thought for a while and said: "Don't be nervous, this kind of thing is not only comfortable for men, I heard that women are also comfortable, I won't just care about my own happiness , I will pay attention to your feelings."

He vowed, "I will take good care of you."

Lin Qiao felt that he was going to be petrified, what did he say!

He is indeed a little nervous. He is tall and big, and his exposed arms and legs have obvious muscles and tendons. He looks very strong and powerful. The two of them are lying side by side, which makes the body contrast more obvious. She I don't know if he will be as violent as his words and deeds.

But now her nervousness was gone, and she was amused by his last sentence: "Do you have experience?"

Gu Lin leaned closer: "Look at what you said, do you also suspect that Doudou was born with a woman?" I don’t have any experience. In the past 28 years, I have never looked at any woman except you. Except for you, other women look similar to me.”

Lin Qiao’s face was flushed with two blushes . , felt his face was hot, wrapped in a towel and turned over to the other side: "I didn't doubt you, where did you hear it from?

" We are all decent people."

Seeing that the body wrapped in the towel trembled slightly from laughing, he ordered helplessly in a low voice: "Don't laugh."

He found that he had already involuntarily pressed to the side. Through the thin towel quilt, the left side of the chest touched her soft arm and shoulder, he felt his blood wrapped in some strange emotion rushing through his body, trying to break through the restraint to find an exit.

He regretted a little, he should have fucked when Lin Qiao told him to hurry up, but now he has made out.

He married Lin Qiao back just to sleep.

Now that Lin Qiao said that he is a good person, the next time may not be when, and he doesn't know how to speak.

Reluctantly leaving and returning to the original position, Gu Lin's voice was muffled: "Go to bed early." Lin Qiao was

already blushing when she touched his firm chest just now, wrapped in a strong masculine breath, and the weight on her body was finally gone. After disappearing, Lin Qiao hurriedly said, "Good night."

Gu Lin said listlessly, "Okay, good night."

When Lin Qiao woke up the next morning, the other half of the big bed was already empty, and she just changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up. I saw Gu Lin walking into the yard carrying two buckets of water.

"Did you get up early to fetch water?" Lin Qiao saw that the water tank, which was one-third empty yesterday, had been filled with water.

Gu Lin poured two buckets of water into the water tank and said, "Exercise."

He got up at four o'clock after exercise and carrying water. If he needed more water, he would have to get up earlier, but as long as his wife and son can use it With clean water, he doesn't find it troublesome.

Lin Qiao took out a handkerchief from her pants pocket, walked to Gu Lin's side, raised her arms, and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Gu Lin took a breath of his daughter-in-law's pleasant smell without any trace, and said, "I'll go to the cafeteria to have a look later, and I'll get some food on the way."

He knew that Lin Qiao had never worked before, so he didn't have any confidence in her cooking skills. Looking forward, his wife can take her time.

Lin Qiao didn't insist, and Gu Lin woke up after he left. The little guy was also wearing a white hurdling vest, and his too thin and loose cotton pants looked baggy, and his sleepy eyes looked particularly cute.

Doudou rubbed his eyes, and threw his arms around Lin qiao's neck: "Mom."

Lin qiao's heart almost melted due to the limp little cub.

He changed his clothes by himself, and Lin Qiao buttoned him up. After changing his clothes, Lin Qiao took him to wash in the yard.

The breakfast that Gu Lin brought back was porridge with dried small fish, yellow and black mixed noodle steamed buns, and pickles.

"Anyway, there are fish to eat, and this food is already good." Gu Lin said. However, he is confident in raising the level of food in the camp.

Worried that his wife and children would not be able to eat well, he brewed two cups of malted milk and brought them to the dining table before Lin Qiao and Doudou.

Lin Qiao felt that she had picked up a treasure. This is a man who wants to leave any good things to his wife and children.

She got up and went to the cupboard to get another cup, and gave Gu Lin her own cup. Seeing this, she insisted on giving it to her mother. In the end, the three of them pushed back and forth and shared two cups of malted milk before giving up.

The fishbone of the dried small fish was very prickly, but the millet porridge tasted very good. Lin Qiao gave Gu Lin the fish from his own bowl and the DouDou bowl to eat, and the mother and son were full with only the porridge and pickles.

After breakfast, Gu Lin went to the camp, and Lin Qiao rummaged through the fabric she brought to make curtains.

Lin Qiao realized that her wallet was bulging when she was tidying up the army green messenger bag she had been carrying with her all the time. It turned out that Xu Manzhi put the gift money and second brother's salary into her wallet while she was not paying attention. A thick stack, a total of more than 900 yuan.

Xu Manzhi's previous concept of money was that she didn't want her daughter to spend all her husband's money.

Lin Qiao didn't want to send money home. She had to keep the money first. There was no savings bank on the island. She hid the money in the closet. When Gu Lin was free, he asked him to make a sandwich in the closet with wooden boards to hide the money. .

"Doudou, can you go for a run and exercise?" Lin Qiao saw that the sun was not yet out, and there was a wind blowing, so it wasn't too hot.

The little guy is very lazy, he would rather be a pendant at her feet than go for a run.

Lin Qiao glanced out: "The butterfly is so beautiful, I want a butterfly."

DouDou immediately stood up: "Mom, put it on DouDou, I'll catch a butterfly for you."

There were a total of eight front and rear curtains in the whole house. After hanging them up, Lin Qiao used good quality cotton cloth to make two pairs of shorts for Gu Lin, one long and one short.

Xiaotuanzi was running around in the yard, panting from exhaustion.

"Come in, it's alright, the sun is out, we'll catch it tomorrow." Lin Qiao beckoned Doudou to come in, and fed him some warm water.

"Mom, I will catch a butterfly for you tomorrow." Xiaotuanzi said.

Lin Qiao kissed him on the cheek: "What a sweet baby."

It was almost noon, and Gu Lin went to the cafeteria. First, he wanted to see the food, but he boasted to his wife yesterday that he could cook. It's too late to learn and sell.

When the soldiers in the cooking class saw Gu Tuan coming to the kitchen again, they were all very excited, and hurriedly introduced Gu Lin to the lunch menu.

"Report to Gu Tuan, the lunch is mixed with rice, Huangjiaoli stewed tofu, and fried kohlrabi."

"How else can Huangjiaoli eat?" Gu Lin asked.

This is the head of the group wanting to know their culinary skills!

The monitor of the cooking class immediately replied: "Steam, make meatballs, dumplings, if there is oil, it will be more delicious when fried." "How to make

fried yellow feet?

" Put some oil on it, it’s very delicious when fried.”

“Okay, the cooking team must make every effort to ensure the food for the soldiers.” Gu Lin said. The living conditions in the cities are much better than those in the countryside. The original intention of many rural soldiers to join the army is very simple, just to have enough food.

Only by eating well can we better build and guard the island.

"Promise to complete the task." The soldiers shouted in unison.

After Gu Lin left, the monitor of the cooking team gave his men blood: "Gu Tuan has just arrived on the island, and he has been to the cafeteria twice. He is very concerned about everyone's food. Our cooking team must improve the food and live up to it. Gu Tuan expects."

When Gu Lin came home, Lin Qiao had already cooked the rice, radish and red shellfish were cooking in the pot, and they had already boiled into a pot of thick and smooth white soup.

"I'll make a fried yellow foot stand." Chef Gu said confidently.

It is difficult for him to make Huangjiaoli meatballs and dumplings, but he thinks he can control fried Huangjiaoli.

After the fish is processed, I still use the method of steaming the fish yesterday, first cut it into thin sections, then marinate it with seasoning, and then fry it in an oil pan. Because he wants to cook food for his wife and children, he is very willing to put oil, and think about it later when the oil is not enough. Method.

Gu Lin was simply super-performing, Huang Jiaoli was fried golden on both sides by him, it seemed that even the air was stimulated to smell oily and fishy, and he quickly sprinkled salt out of the pan.

Lin Qiao also steamed a potato for DouDou. There was fish and soup on the table. Compared with breakfast, it was simply too rich.

The fried fresh yellow feet are tender and fresh, and the fish meat is wrapped in fat without any fishy smell, and every bite is very fragrant.

"You are really good at cooking." Lin Qiao praised.

Gu Lin was overwhelmed by his daughter-in-law's soft voice and lost himself. He was very confident in himself and often went to the cafeteria to learn how to cook. He would definitely become a chef.

After eating, Lin Qiao showed him the two shorts that had been washed and dried: "I made them for you, and I will change the shorts when I get home to save the heat."

Gu Lin looked at the two shorts and couldn't wait to put them on. He had seen that the curtains were hung by the windows a long time ago, and he was pleasantly surprised: "You know how to make clothes? Didn't you not work at home before?"

Lin Qiao said, "Making clothes and cooking are basic life skills. Of course, including my elder brother and second brother who can cook."

Her sewing and cooking skills are much better than ordinary people, whether she can do it or not is two different things.

"Your parents raised you really well." Gu Lin sighed.

Lin Qiao took Gu Lin's measurements again and prepared to make him a casual suit. He always wears a military uniform, so he must always have a set of casual clothes ready for him.

When Gu Lin went to the camp, Lin Qiao took a nap with him, and at two o'clock the little guy was still sleeping, so Lin Qiao got up to make Gu Lin's underwear.

——Gu

Lin never imagined that representatives of the aborigines would come to him just before he arrived on the island to start his work.

The five people who came were the captain of the production team of the Han nationality, the head of the Li village and the head of the Miao village. Because of the language barrier, they brought their own Chinese-speaking people from the village as translators.

In the early 1950s, the People’s Liberation Army once came to Qiongya Island, recovered the island from the blue army, and drove away Haiba and Yuba, protecting the tranquility of the island. The relationship between the military and the people is harmonious. very good. There were only about 20 officers and soldiers stationed on the island before, but now hundreds of them have arrived. I heard that more officers and soldiers will come. The islanders don’t know what it will mean to them. Upset and don't want to make changes. But they were immediately troubled by another matter, which was nothing compared to that, and that was the discovery of sea monsters. Originally, the Han people thought it was a water ghost, but both the Li people and the Miao people worshiped the water ghost to varying degrees, and even held worship ceremonies, so they unified their view and believed that what was found in the nearby waters was a sea monster. Although they are called sea monsters, they are very worried that they offended the water ghost and caused the water ghost to appear. Recently, people from the two ethnic groups have complained to each other, and they are not very harmonious. They know that the People's Liberation Army doesn't believe in strange powers, but they still come to the garrison for help. In the office, Gu Lin and Gao Xiangqian treated them warmly and peacefully, which dispelled their worries and did not mention sea monsters at the beginning. They wanted to know the situation of the garrison first. Gu Lin comforted the elders: "The purpose of the garrison on the island is to strengthen the coastal defense and defend against foreign enemies, so that the people on our island and the southeast coast can have a stable life. Don't worry, the production and life of the islanders will definitely not be affected." "We can continue to fish and hunt," said a patriarch. Fishing is unlikely to be banned, and they worry that the People's Liberation Army will not allow them to continue hunting, and they will lose their livelihood security.

"Of course, we will also arrange people to teach everyone how to grow corn and rice, and the food production will also increase, so that everyone will not be hungry." Gu Lin said.

The way of farming on the island is very extensive. Basically, the seeds are sown and there is no management. The harvest is completely at the mercy of fate. Gu Lin feels that there is a lot of room for improvement in food production.

The eyes of the several patriarchs suddenly brightened. They wished to produce more food. They had long heard that the food production outside was much higher than that on the island.

"Also, there will be a wharf and a factory built on the island, and the wharf will start construction soon. Everyone can come to work, and the wages are 70 cents a day, and two meals are taken care of." Political Commissar Gao said.

"Really? Seventy cents a day and food?"

There are no job opportunities on the island, so it's best to work nearby to earn some money.

"We have found experts, and we are selecting the site for drilling wells. Sweet water wells can be drilled on the island, and then everyone will not need to drink the rainwater from the reservoir." Gu Lin said.

Before Gu Lin and the others went to the island, geologists had already gone to the island.

"Okay, okay, it would be best to have a sweet water well." Several patriarchs became excited. The well water they dug was salty and astringent and undrinkable. All the time, they drank water from the reservoir, which was not very clean. It's also not good to drink. It's almost impossible to drink clean sweet water for the rest of my life.

Let them have more goodwill and confidence in the People's Liberation Army, so they mentioned the sea monster again.

"Sure, someone in our village has seen it." The head of the Miao village said.

Gu Lin let them know everything, and after understanding the situation, he promised them that he would give them a definite statement. Only then did the five islander representatives return satisfied.

After the people left, Gu Lin called in all the officers above the company level to talk about it.

Battalion Commander Zhao Qiangguo, an old island guard, said that sea monsters have been mentioned for a long time, but no one has mentioned what the sea monsters look like. Recently, some people said they saw sea monsters, and described them with nose and eyes.

Gu Lin provided information that everyone did not know, saying that according to secret history records, there was a shipwreck in the nearby waters that carried valuable materials in the Ming Dynasty. He speculated that the so-called sea ghost might be someone looking for the shipwreck. Commissar Gao said: "There are antiques on the sunken ship, but

now the antiques are not worth much, so there is no need to spend a lot of effort to find them."

"

Gu Lin pondered for a while and said: "Yes, it can only be for foreign countries to find these materials on board, we must find out the situation." Everyone

knows that if there is a connection with a foreign country, then the identity of this person is more important. special.

Gu Lin asked Zhao Qiangguo to take everyone to the sea area where the sea monster was found, and when the weather is good, divers can be arranged to go to the sea to investigate.

A group of them went out to sea by boat, Lin Qiao knew that he would not come back for dinner, so he ate fish noodle soup with him, and not long after dinner, Meng Pandi, the daughter-in-law of Zhao Qiang's battalion commander, came with her daughter.

Chapter 24

Battalion Commander Zhao and his wife are old guards of the island and have been guarding the island for more than ten years. "

Probably because of the wind and sun on the island all year round, Meng Pandi and her daughter's skin are slightly dark. She said, "I am the only old sister-in-law on the island now, and we can also be companions. The sister-in-law of the high political commissar's family Arriving in the past few days, there should be more family members coming in the future. After the two parties greeted each other, Lin Qiao asked them to sit down and

poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Finally, DouDou saw a child who was eager to play with him. The two children looked at each other and tested each other. They didn't even speak.

"Go and get something for my sister. "Lin Qiao said.

Doudou ran to bring a piece of peach cake to Xiao Wan'er, Xiao Wan'er took it only after getting her mother's permission, broke another half and gave it to Dou Dou, and they ate together. When

Meng Pandi came in, she held a piece of peach cake I made a jar, put it on the table, and introduced to Lin Qiao, "This is dross vinegar, which is often eaten by the local people. I thought you might have a bad appetite when you first arrived here, and some sour ones would be good for your appetite. "

Lin Qiao has never heard of dross vinegar. Meng Pandi told her that it is made from distiller's dregs and then fermented. It can be used to cook seafood and seaweed.

" I will take you to catch the sea. "Meng Pandi said.

Lin Qiao went to the kitchen and brought her own jar, and poured the dregs and vinegar into it.

"Don't look at the bad smell, but it tastes refreshing. If you can eat spicy food, add some chili. "Meng Pandi said.

The two went to the water tank to scoop water, washed the jar Meng Pandi brought, and chatted while working. Meng Pandi told her experience of serving in the army like a bamboo tube pouring beans. It turned out that Her parents are very patriarchal, and after giving birth to three daughters in a row, they finally got a baby son. Each daughter wanted a large gift in marriage for her son to marry a wife. Meng Pandi was the third child, and her parents wanted her Marrying the widower with the most betrothal gifts, Meng Pandi swears against it to the death and insists on marrying Zhao Qiangguo, who is a soldier in the same village.

"Lao Zhao had just been promoted in the army. He could have married a better wife, but he was still willing to marry me. I wanted to go with him. The farther away from my natal family, the better. Without the qualifications to join the army, he applied to guard the island on the most remote island. Because the place is remote, the platoon leader can also bring his family. At that time, including us, there were only two couples guarding the island. The conditions of Qiongya Island now are comparable to ours. The island where you stayed at the beginning is much better."

"Your experience of guarding the island is really admirable. You have shared joys and sorrows for so many years, and your relationship with Commander Zhao is also very good." Lin Qiao said.

Meng Pandi smiled and said, "Marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, is just living a life."

She also brought dried wakame and dried sea oysters, which Meng Pandi picked up from the sea, and Lin Qiao also packed a portion. Snacks such as peanuts and broad beans are brought back for them.

Gu Lin came back from the camp when the lights were about to turn off at eight o'clock.

Lin Qiao gave Doudou a bath first, and when she came back from the shower, Doudou was already obediently lying on the bed, waiting for his mother to read to him.

She was reading the novel "Shajiabang", "Sister-in-law Ah Qing reported to Guo Jianguang, 'The devils have started to mop up, and they are going fast, and the county party committee instructed comrades to take refuge in the reed marshes for a while'."

" Mom, I've read these comic books several times, don't read comic books, read dad's book." Doudou said.

"Father's books are all military books. It doesn't sound like heavenly books to you." Lin Qiao said.

"I want to hear it." Doudou coquettishly softly.

Lin Qiao thought that the more complicated and incomprehensible the book might be, the easier it would be to help him fall asleep, so she went to the bookshelf in the living room and picked out a copy of "A Preliminary Study of Military Theory", and went back to the bedside to read it to him.

Gu Lin walked into the room and said: "Don't look at this kid listening seriously, he can't read or understand at all." "

I just like to listen, Dad, don't make trouble." Doudou said.

Gu Lin smiled and said, "Boy, isn't it Fei's mother who asked your mother to read books that you don't understand? Don't make your mother tired."

Lin Qiao also laughed: "As long as he can fall asleep, he can read everything the same way, maybe he can be enlightened."

Gu Lin sat beside him for a while, watching his son listen with gusto, and commented: "These are just talk on paper. It will be troublesome to follow these when you grow up, and dad will teach you actual combat experience when you grow up."

Doudou: "..."

Why is he a book writer in his vague and fragmented memory, writing about military theory, But Dad said it was just talking on paper.

"Mom, why don't you read it?" Doudou acted like a baby.

"Okay, I'll read, Dad keep quiet." Lin Qiao said.

Amidst the soft sound of reading, Doudou fell asleep. The couple sat by the bed for a while, Gu Lin pulled Lin Qiao's hand, "Daughter-in-law, let's go."

Lin Qiao's small hand was wrapped in a warm and dry big hand, and Gu Lin just Feeling the smoothness and softness of the palm, firmly holding the soft and boneless hand of the daughter-in-law, the two walked back to the master bedroom together. The next day, Gu Lin still didn't come back for lunch, so Lin Qiao and Doudou took the fried rice with eggs for lunch. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Pandi took a small bowl and greeted them to go to the sea. Going northeast from the campsite, we walked about two miles to a beach with a beautiful view. This beach has blue sky and clear water, and there are many tall coconut trees nearby, covered with coconuts. But there are not many people who come to catch the sea, and the nearby islanders think that the harvest from the sea is not worth the time they spend, and they still have to farm and fish in the production team. Meng Pandi has experience in catching the sea. When she saw a trace on the beach, she immediately stepped on the side to see the water coming out, and said, "Look at the shape of a horseshoe. If there is water flowing out, there should be clams under it." She said Squatting down and digging with a shovel, I found a clam the size of an egg yolk. DouDou felt that it was very magical, and immediately pulled Lin Qiao down to look for it on the beach with a small shovel. Before digging out a few clams, Meng Pandi greeted everyone again, "Look, there are cat's eye snails here."

The three of them leaned over to look, and saw a chubby cat's-eye conch lying on the beach with its fan-like body unfolded.

She picked up the cat's eye snail, stretched out her hands but pinched the flesh softly, and water came out from several directions in an instant. After squeezing the water, the fat body of the cat's eye snail immediately retracted into the shell.

"It's so interesting, it's even more fun than digging for clams. I want to find cat's eye snails." Doudou cheered and ran away.

About an hour later, a line of soldiers patrolling the island came from a distance. Six of them lined up and walked forward with loaded guns. Gu Lin was not fully armed like them, and walked on the side of the line. Yesterday he found nothing on the surface of the sea where the "sea monster" was found. He plans to go again in a few days when he has time. The sea mud was dug to be used as fertilizer to fertilize the soil. The geologist was dizzy and went back first, and Gu Lin patrolled the island with the soldiers again. "Father." DouDou saw him first, and ran over with his calves. Gu Lin explained a few words to the soldiers and told them to go back to the camp, while he himself got off work. He bent down, waited for DouDou to come to him, hugged DouDou, and walked towards Lin Qiao's direction. "Dad, it's so fun to catch the sea. We picked up a lot of seafood." Doudou showed his father a conch, and couldn't wait to share it with Gu Lin proudly. "Then you guys are awesome." Gu Lin said. When he got to Lin Qiao's side, he saw the harvest in the bucket. Good guy, that's all there are for children. There are only clams and mussels in the bucket. Gu Lin looked towards the reef area, thinking that there would definitely be something to be gained by turning over the reef. At this moment, Lin Qiao's eyes were attracted by the creatures crawling on the coconut tree, and she suddenly called out, "What is that? Crawl", then the body flashed, and quickly hid behind Gu Lin, holding his arms tightly with both hands. Gu Lin turned her head quickly when she heard the sound, and judged the location of the creature based on her voice. After seeing it clearly, she lowered her voice and smiled: "Are you scared? You said Brother Gu Lin, I'm so scared, I will protect you."

Listening to Gu Lin speaking under her throat, Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing: Is this the hunk teaching her to act like a baby?

Although her family dotes on her very much, she didn't seem to act like a baby with them before.

Both arms were firmly grasped by Lin Qiao's soft hands. Although she couldn't see her expression, Gu Lin could imagine that it must be very interesting for her to hide behind him.

The idea of wanting to protect her forever arises spontaneously. Seeing Gu Lin's calmness, Lin

Qiao knew that the creature was nothing to be afraid of, but Gu Lin was still smiling, "Say."

Qiao had no choice but to soften her voice and learn and sell now.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's soft voice, Gu Lin felt very satisfied, and the smile on his face became more obvious. He brought Lin Qiao out from behind, and said, "That's a coconut crab." Doudou, Xiao Wan'er, and

Meng Pandi all ran away. After coming over, Doudou said, "It looks like a beetle."

Xiao Wan'er said, "It's so big and brightly colored, it doesn't look like it can be eaten."

Meng Pandi said, "It's edible, the meat is plentiful and delicious."

Gu Lin bent down and saw a rock, and said, "I'll catch it."

The stone was thrown out and hit the target accurately. The coconut crab, which was concentrating on climbing the tree, was beaten, and after a short pause, it continued to climb tenaciously.

Gu Lin strode to the edge of the coconut tree, hugged the trunk and climbed up. His movements were very flexible. After approaching, he grabbed the coconut crab with his bare hands. The coconut crab looked very fierce, and Lin Qiaolian was so frightened that he told him to be careful.

When he jumped down from the tree, he said, "Coconut crabs are very powerful and can kill seabirds, but we haven't found any particularly big coconut crabs on our island.

"

Gu Lin told the two children to stay away when they saw coconut crabs.

"Understood." The two promised in unison.

A total of two coconut crabs were caught, and one was just given to Meng Pandi.

As the sun slanted to the west, a group of five people walked towards the family courtyard with their harvest.

"For dinner, we will eat fried clams and steamed crabs," Lin Qiao said.

She first boiled some millet porridge to nourish the stomach, and after frying the clams, Lin Qiao made egg pancakes and potato shreds for DouDou, and she and Gu Lin ate mixed noodle pancakes.

After the coconut crab is steamed, the family sits at the table to eat.

The coconut crab's shell is very hard. Gu Lin took the pliers and hammer to break open the shell, and picked out the meat for his wife and children to eat.

Lin Qiao fed a piece of crab meat into his mouth: "Try it, it's really delicious, it smells like coconut." "

Delicious." Gu Lin pinched off the crab claws and put the meat into Lin Qiao's bowl , By the way, I looked at Lin Qiao, the crab meat fed by my daughter-in-law was extraordinarily sweet.

Lin Qiao happened to meet his gaze and couldn't help laughing: those lingering eyes!

She put the egg roll potato shreds into the bowl in front of DouDou again: "You have eaten a lot of crab meat, you can't eat any more."

DouDou said with a bitter face, "How can Mom and Dad eat it?"

Lin Qiao laughed : "You have a weak stomach, and I don't know if you will be allergic, so you should grow up quickly." "Take

one last bite." The little guy bargained.

Lin Qiao fed him the last mouthful and said, "Okay, mom is afraid you will have a stomachache."

The little guy obediently went to eat the egg pancake.

——

After Gu Lin got the photos taken by the family of three, he sent the photos to his grandfather and parents, telling them that he was married.

Gu Changting has always been most satisfied with Gu Lin, the grandson, and always worried that he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He was very happy to learn that he was married, but when he saw the picture of Dou Dou, he became restless and inevitably became angry.

Where did Gu Lin get Gu Jinzhou from?

If he adopts a child named Gu Jinzhou Thaksin, but this child looks so similar to him, Gu Changting will take it for granted that Gu Jinzhou is his grandson. According to his speculation, Gu Lin must have had a good friend. The woman died or the two could not be together due to other reasons, but the two of them did something ridiculous. They had children before they were married. Now Gu Lin hastily found a woman. Give him a son. Lin Qiao was the one who got taken advantage of. As a soldier with an upright outlook and a sense of justice, he didn't mind Lin Qiao's background, but felt sorry for her. What a girl to be his great-grandson's stepmother. When they meet, they will definitely criticize and educate him severely. After much deliberation, the old man remitted 300 yuan as a wedding gift, and also sent cloth and food to the family of three. Gu's father and mother also received letters and photos. Although they were thousands of miles away, they kept asking people about Gu Lin's marriage, and they knew Lin Qiao's situation clearly. Although they were concerned about Lin Qiao's family conditions, but seeing Lin Qiao's photo, they always felt that this daughter-in-law was good, with a calm and bright temperament who had read a lot of books, and she was also pretty. "I was worried that Gu Lin would mess around. I didn't expect him to have a good eye. Except for his bad background, Lin Qiao is good in every way, and he is a good match for our son." Mother Gu looked at the photos over and over again, and the more she looked at Lin Qiao, the more she liked her. . "The Lin Peiyuan branch of the Lin family is well-educated. The children raised by such a family are not bad. Lin Qiao's status is a little bit bad, but it's better than Gu Lin who has been single all his life." Father Gu said. "Shall we give more wedding money? Gu Lin didn't ask us for the bride price, but we should pay for it. How about eight hundred?" Mother Gu asked. "If you think about the Lin family, it's still not eye-catching enough. Don't give too much, just give three hundred. Anyway, Gu Lin's allowance is enough for the three of them." Father Gu said. Mother Gu nodded: "If you're still considerate, then we'll give you three hundred yuan."

Gu's mother also wrote a letter to Gu Lin to remit money, and also sent something, which was a set of "Selected Works of Marxism-Leninism" and a large bag of things.

——After

returning from the camp and entering the courtyard, Gu Lin saw his new clothes on the clothesline at a glance, "My new clothes are ready?" He asked.

"Well, give it a try, you can change the inappropriate parts." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin went to wash his hands and face first, and took off the dried clothes. The fine cotton clothes, white on top and black on the bottom, were very finely made, with fine stitches. He immediately took the clothes into the house, changed into new clothes and walked to the kitchen door Find Lin Qiao.

Finally putting on the clothes made by his wife, Gu Lin said flatteredly, "It fits you well." "You're handsome.

You're tall, long-legged, broad-shouldered and thin-waisted, so you look good in any clothes." Lin Qiao said.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's kind words, Gu Lin was really elated.

But he doesn't believe it!

"Really? Are you fooling me? You didn't take a fancy to me the day we first met. You should think I'm not good-looking." Gu Lin is very self-aware.

Lin Qiao laughed out loud: "You just came back from a mission that day, and you didn't tidy yourself up, and thought you were handsome." Regardless of

whether his wife was fooling him or not, Gu Lin was delighted, and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead. After a while, he went back to the house, took off his clothes, folded them neatly and put them in the closet. "By the way, didn't we catch Huo Wang and his wife at the train station? The police went all out and caught Da Jinya, a criminal gang that abducts and sells children. This time alone, we rescued six children. For those who changed hands in other places, five children have already found a home, and one is being raised in an orphanage." Gu Lin said. Lin Qiao had been thinking about this all the time, and said pleasantly, "That's great, the traffickers will be punished, I wish all the traffickers would die."

Gu Lin nodded: "Yes, they were all dispatched to the frontier farm. Huo Wang and his wife will be forced to reform for two years. The Qingcheng police will give me an honorary title for being brave. I think that stuff is useless if you can't eat or drink It’s not important, it’s more important to rescue the child.”

Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, “Let’s register for Doudou, he doesn’t even have food stamps and other tickets, if he has a household registration, he can have a monthly account. Fourteen catties of food stamps, when he reaches junior high school, he will have twenty-eight catties of food per month. If he has no food, he will only eat our food, and our family will have to eat a lot of coarse grains to get enough. "

Gu Lin has forty-five catties of food stamps every month, and Lin Qiao has thirty catties. Fortunately, there is enough seafood on the island to eat, but they still have to live frugally when it comes to food.

Gu Lin agreed, and said, "I have to go to Rongcheng to do it, and I will register for him when I leave the island." "

You don't have to go around by yourself." Lin Qiao asked.

"There's no need for him to go." Gu Lin said, "I can do it with a letter of introduction and a certificate of adoption." "

Once we get a registered residence, we will officially adopt. I think this is more secure." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin nodded in agreement.

——After

dinner, Political Commissar Gao came. His house was on the east side of Lin Qiao's house, separated by a wall.

Political commissar Gao looked at the family of three, originally thinking that Lin Qiao would find the island difficult and unable to stay, but unexpectedly she seemed in a good mood, and the family of three happily washed clothes together.

In order to save water, the three organized an assembly line, all sitting on a bench, with a wooden basin in front of each of them. Gu Lin was in charge of the cleaning, going around and rinsing the first time, and Lin Qiao rinsing the second time.

The family even found joy in doing laundry.

"How does Xiaolin feel about Qiongya Island?" Commissar Gao also pulled a bench and sat down.

Lin Qiao said, "It's pretty good. It's not as hot as I imagined. I've been eating seafood these days, and it feels very fresh."

"Don't get tired of eating seafood after a while." Political Commissar Gao said, he was very worried that Lin Qiao would want to go home after her freshness had worn off.

Gu Lin wasn't worried at all, and said, "I'll take you to the mountain to pick some bananas and coconuts to eat when I'm free."

Doudou was struggling to wash his clothes, and he said quickly, "Okay, Dad, I've wanted to go for a long time. "

Tomorrow your sister-in-law will come over, and she will bring the two children by herself, and Gu Tuan and I are going to visit a nearby island, can you pick her up at the pier?" After a few pleasantries, Political Commissar Gao added.

"You didn't arrange for soldiers to pick her up? She took the two children and luggage alone for such a long journey?" Lin Qiao was surprised.

"Yes, she said that she has visited relatives a few times, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for the organization, so she can come by herself." Political Commissar Gao said.

Lin Qiao tried to take the two children on the train by herself, and felt that it was completely impossible. She said, "Sister-in-law is really enlightened. If I take one child, it's okay, but I can't take two children. I'll pick her up at the pier tomorrow. It will definitely make my sister-in-law feel the warmth of spring."

"Then please, just show her a way and let her get home." Political Commissar Gao said.

Gu Lin said: "It's just that you have a big heart. She said you can do it yourself, and you can also arrange for someone to pick her up. It's just this one time, and it will definitely not work next time." "You don't know, your sister-in-law has a very stubborn temper

. She won't listen to her." Political Commissar Gao said.

After Political Commissar Gao left, the family of three had already washed and hung the clothes.

It was less than four o'clock the next day, the sky was already light, and Gu Lin was about to set off. He said that Lin Qiao didn't get up to cook for him when he had breakfast on the boat, but when he got up and put on his military uniform, Lin Qiao woke up.

"You sleep a little longer, it's still early." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao looked at Gu Lin with a smile, nodded and said yes.

She has observed Gu Lin for many days. Since he went to the island, his military uniform has never been ironed, and it has slight wrinkles from natural drying.

After get off work at night, his military uniform is dirty most of the time.

And every time I saw Gu Lin before going to the island, his military uniform was always clean and tidy, without even a single wrinkle.

In order to impress her, this man really took great pains to clean himself up.

However, Lin Qiao felt that this was the normal state of daily life, and it wasn't about participating in any ceremony. There was no need to iron the clothes every day to make them look fresh and neat.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao smiled even wider.

While Gu Lin watched his wife smiling at him, she was doing self-strategy contentedly. The daughter-in-law looked at him with a smile every day. She would watch him in the morning when he put on his military uniform, and she would watch him when he came back in the evening.

The daughter-in-law's eyes are clear and bright, full of tenderness and sweetness.

What does this mean, of course it means that the daughter-in-law likes him and also likes him very much!

Gu Lin felt very happy.

"The soldiers will help carry water today, so I'm leaving." Gu Lin looked back at Lin Qiao for a while and said.

He couldn't bear it, so he strode over, bent down, and kissed Lin Qiao on the forehead.

The skin on the daughter-in-law's forehead is smooth and delicate, very soft, with a faint fragrance.

Lin Qiao felt his lips were as hot as a branding iron, and her cheeks were slightly red: "Let's go."

Chapter 25

Gu Lin and the others boarded the boat. There were two pots on the boat, seafood porridge was cooking in one pot, and someone was pasting corn cakes beside the other pot.

Gu Lin and Political Commissar Gao stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance with binoculars. They watched for a while, and the latter asked a little worriedly: "Do you think my wife and your wife will have a bad relationship? They don't One type of person, your daughter-in-law is good-looking and delicate and reads a lot of books, and my daughter-in-law has no education and is just a rural woman, and her mouth is full of scumbags." Gu Lin was not worried, and said: "My wife has always been popular

. Well, you should know that she was the most popular in school before."

Political commissar Gao was noncommittal: "Did she have a good family at that time, and her classmates were willing to associate with her."

Gu Lin was very confident: "No, with her family It doesn't matter, it's because my wife has a charismatic personality."

Gao Political Commissar: "..."

After being silent for a while, he said again: "We are brothers who have a life-long friendship, no matter what their relationship is, it can't affect us."

Gu Rin: "Don't worry, no one doesn't like my wife."

Political commissar Gao: "...Okay."

——The

big boat arrives at the pier at 2:00 p.m. When carrying the luggage, Lin Qiao didn't ask DouDou to wait with him, and asked him to find Xiao Wan'er to play with.

Lin Qiao held a handkerchief in her hand and wiped her sweat while waiting. When the big ship arrived at the pier, she saw a woman carrying two bags of luggage, with a child in each hand walking towards the shore with the crowd. , I'm Lin Qiao, Senior Political Commissar, and I'll pick you up." Luo Yuying is a woman, carrying two heavy luggage bags, her back is still straight, and her feet feel windy when she walks. The wrists of the two children, Jindou and Gangbi, were tied by her with ropes, and they were connected to her wrists. "Lin Qiao? Lao Gao wrote to me and mentioned you." Luo Yuying looked her up and down, "You are Gu Tuan's daughter-in-law, right? girl."

There were many people around, and Lin Qiao was a little embarrassed by the compliment, so she quickly asked Luo Yuying to give her a package, and the four of them separated from the crowd and walked towards the camp, when she replied, "Sister Luo is also very upright. "

Luo Yuying was very proud, and she was full of spirits: "That is, I was also a flower in our commune at the time, or Lao Gao was the company commander at that time, if he was not good-looking, would he like me?" Lin Qiao didn't say anything casually

. Flattery, Luo Yuying's facial features are indeed good, but it may be because of long-term farm work that her body is a little bit strong.

She introduced to Mrs. Luo that there are currently only three military wives on the island: "Sister-in-law Meng is mending clothes and bedding for the soldiers, and she will return them to the camp in the evening. She said she would take time to see you." "Don't worry about me, I can do it

. "Luo Yuying said.

"Sister-in-law, you are really capable. You can travel more than 4,000 kilometers with the two children by yourself." Lin Qiao said.

Luo Yuying had a good impression of this good-looking, soft-spoken woman, and said: "If you can't do it, you can do it. You have children, you need to take care of your in-laws, and you have to go to work. The high political commissar said that I came to this island because of the good conditions." , but I wonder why this place is not as good as our mountain corner, it’s stuffy and hot, and there are weeds everywhere.”

Lin Qiao laughed and said, “It’s not cold here in winter, there are all kinds of seafood and coconuts. Bananas, once you get used to them, you will find them good."

Mrs. Luo said, "That's not bad, but we have everything on Gada Mountain, mushrooms, wild ginseng, and roe deer in winter."

Jin Dou said to Gang Bian Want to eat seafood, Lin Qiao said: "The high political commissar has prepared dried fish and oysters for you."

Walking to the door, Mrs. Luo said: "Okay, you can go home quickly, I will call you on the wall if I have anything to do." "

Lin Qiao stopped Jin Dou, touched her cheeks, including the area near her neck, it was slightly stiff, and the temperature was slightly higher, she put more force on her fingers, and asked, "Does it hurt?" "It hurts," Jin Dou said

.

"It shouldn't hurt if I press it this way." After Lin Qiao finished speaking, she said to Luo Yuying: "Sister-in-law, Jindou should have got mumps. It's not serious now, and it should start tomorrow." Mumps are very

contagious , Lin Qiao touched the steel coin again, and said, "He's also cheeky." "

Ah, both children have cheekbones?"

Aunt Luo put all her luggage on the ground and said angrily, "They're all in the compartment." The child was infected, and the cheeks of the child were a little red. I asked if your child had cheeks, but the mother told me no, saying that their child was born with a big face, and that he was bored on the train. You should know that My child is sick, I asked the flight attendant to change the bed for me."

Lin Qiao comforted her by saying that maybe the mother didn't know, and then said: "Tomorrow, if the situation is serious, you need to take antipyretics and anti-inflammatory medicines. I have some medicines here. They are all commonly used medicines for DouDou, if you see them both have a fever and their faces are swollen, call me, even in the middle of the night, but don’t be shy." Luo Yuying knew that Lin Qiao was a college student studying medicine . In her eyes, Lin Qiao must be very knowledgeable and superb in medicine. Having a doctor as a neighbor is like adding a guardian angel to the two children, and she feels comforted in her heart. She said with a little worry: "It is necessary to trouble you. I am quite worried. I heard that mumps can cause deafness and dumbness ." What’s wrong, deafness or dumbness is not treated in time.” The other party’s comfort was very effective, and Mrs. Luo asked again: “When will Lao Gao come back?” “ They will come back before dark. Commissar Gao came because you and the child , deliberately arranged this way, or they might spend the night on another island and come back in a few days." Lin Qiao said. "I didn't expect him to have such a heart. It would be great if he could come back today." Aunt Luo suddenly felt more confident. "Come in, let the two children have a good rest." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Qiao helped them carry their luggage into the house, and the two children were tired from traveling all the way, so they both climbed to bed and went to sleep. Mrs. Luo said that Lin Qiao didn't need Lin Qiao's help to pack things, so Lin Qiao went to Meng Pandi's house to find a bag.

She is now "doing as the Romans do", just like ordinary women, and she doesn't pay too much attention, standing directly at the gate and calling her son's name.

DouDou and Xiao Wan'er ran out holding hands, both of them were thin and small, like a pair of siblings, although Xiao Wan'er was three years older than DouDou, she was good at looking after children and knew how to take care of her younger brother.

DouDou shouted loudly: "Mom, are Jindou and Gangtong here?"

"Here they are, but you can't play with them." Lin Qiao said as she led the two children into the house.

"The two of them have gills, and it will take a week or two before they can play with you." Lin Qiao said.

Sure enough, Doudou didn’t understand, so when he asked what jiu was, Xiao Wan’er explained to him: “It’s pickled mustard, I heard from my mother.” The

island where Xiao Wan’er stayed before was even more desolate and remote, and her contact with people and things was limited. Most of the knowledge comes from parents. Doudou's face was full of confusion: "What is pickled mustard

?

I can't play with them."

The three of them entered the room, and Meng Pandi kept stepping on the sewing machine: "What, both children have cheeks, how swollen they are, I will go there after I send back all the clothes and bedding. Take a look."

Lin Qiao said, "It's not serious now, I've already told Sister Luo to find me. If you can finish your work, let me do it together."

Meng Pandi glanced at the sewing machine He piled up the clothes and said, "Okay, share some with you, and you can see where it's broken."

Lin Qiao carried a large pile of clothes and took the two children home, walked into the yard, and asked around, "Mom, what's wrong?" Let's not talk to Jindou and Gangzhu, and come and play with us when they are well."

The children were bored on the island and longed for more playmates. Lin Qiao said softly, "No, we have to let them have a good rest. They will recover easily after getting enough sleep." "I understand." Doudou held

back A heart that wants to meet friends.

Xiao Wan'er said: "Then let's wait for them to recover." "

They will be very happy if they know that there is a child who wants to play with them." Lin Qiao said to the two children.

When it was almost evening, Lin Qiao mended all the clothes and sent them back to the camp with Meng Pandi. After returning, he started steaming steamed buns. When Gu Lin came back, he also brought back a bucket full of black tiger prawns and three fat shrimps. horse face fish.

"Today's inspection went better than expected. On the way back, I dropped a few nets and caught a lot of seafood. We shared some and took the bulk to the cafeteria." "

Dad, you can fish!" Powerful, almost omnipotent, can do everything.

Gu Lin touched the soft hair on the top of his head, and said, "The island where Dad stayed before was much worse than this one, so what can he eat if he doesn't know how to catch fish?" He took out an enamel basin from the kitchen, fished a horse noodle fish and

a Jianli Heihu Shrimp, and said: "Don't you want to taste the taste of dross vinegar? Today there are fish and shrimp. You can try it. Don't look at the horse-faced fish. The meat is very tender and has no fishy smell. "

Lin Qiao responded, "Okay, then tonight we will eat steamed buns and dregs of vinegared seafood, can you help me deal with it, it is too ugly and I don't want to do it." Gu Lin glanced at

himself Daughter-in-law raised the corners of her mouth: "You seem to be quite satisfied with me. Is it because I look good?"

Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing, where is this? She said, "Don't you know that you are very handsome?"

Gu Lin was really elated, he didn't care much about his appearance, if his wife said he was the most handsome, then he must be.

While Gu Lin was cleaning up the fish, Lin Qiao had already washed the black tiger prawns. While working, Gu Lin said, "I just passed by the door of the high political commissar's house, and his wife went to the island."

Lin Qiao nodded: "Both their children have gills. I told them to come to me if it was serious or they had a high fever. I have medicine here." Gu Lin said, "Then I'll go and have a look." "The steamed buns in the pot

are

cooked Already, give some to the children." Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin went to the kitchen, and Lin Qiao went to the living room to get snacks such as peanuts and broad beans. When she also went to the kitchen, she saw Gu Lin hugging her son, and they were standing in front of the steamer studying the steamed buns in the pot.

The fog was dense, and the two of them looked like curious babies.

The steamed buns are made into various shapes, such as rabbits, hedgehogs, bears, and chickens. Each animal has eyes made of beans, which are delicate and small.

"Wow, Mom, your hands are so clever!" Hearing Lin Qiao's footsteps, Doudou cheered.

Gu Lin laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Dad has made money. I thought I married a daughter-in-law who can't do anything. I didn't expect not only to be able to do it, but also much better than ordinary people." Lin Qiao picked up the buns and asked Gu Lin to follow him

. Doudou took them to Political Commissar Gao and Battalion Commander Zhao's house respectively, and he cooked horse noodles fish and black tiger prawns with dross vinegar, and added some kelp and soaked sea oyster meat.

The light brown soup in the pot is tumbling, the sour and sweet aroma of seafood rises, and there is a faint smell of wine.

Gu Lin came back soon, and as soon as he entered the kitchen door, he said: "Golden beans and steel pans look pretty good, and I can't bear to eat them with steamed buns." Doudou

still sat at the door obediently waiting for the meal, and said, "Miss Xiaowaner I’m also reluctant to eat it.”

When Gu Lin came back, he was still carrying half a net bag of dried mushrooms and dried roe deer meat.

The smell of dross vinegar was wafting, and when it was filled, it filled a large basin. Seeing the dishes being filled, she ran faster than anyone else: "Eat."

Lin Qiao took a sip of the soup, it was more delicious than she imagined. , sweet and sour, with a rich flavor, "It's delicious, try it all," she said.

In the morning of the next day, Lin Qiao wanted to eat something light. Just after making millet porridge and potato shredded pancakes, she heard the high political commissar on the other side of the wall calling her, saying that the cheeks of the two children had really grown.

Lin Qiao quickly put down the spatula, took the medicine and walked towards the gate. Doudou was very worried about the little friend he had never met, but he was even more worried about his mother, so he quickly chased after him and asked, "Mom, are you not contagious?" Looking at the little

hand that was clutching the hem of her clothes, Lin Qiao smiled and said to him: " DouDou is waiting at home, usually it is a child with a cheek rash, and mother is fine." "

Okay, mother, I will wait for you." DouDou finally felt relieved.

When they arrived at Gao's political commissar's house, Lin Qiao gave the two children anti-inflammatory drugs. Neither of them had a high fever, so they didn't need to take anti-fever drugs.

Commissar Gao looked at the red and swollen mouths of the two children and said, "Should we use some folk remedies? I also had gills when I was a child. How can I take any medicine? My mother found a leprosy and peeled it off. My face has also been healed."

Gu Lin was standing by the wall looking this way, and heard the words: "..."

Lin Qiao said: "If you want to use folk remedies, use cactus to remove the skin and thorns. Crush it and apply it on the face to reduce the temperature and reduce swelling."

Commissar Gao said: "There are big cactus trees on our island, I'll go and get some."

He walked quickly and came back quickly, Lin Qiao's family finished eating For breakfast, he had brought back a cactus that was as tall as half a person. When Lin Qiao passed by, he had already processed a large piece of cactus and was mashing it into mud with a rolling pin.

Lin Qiao spread the smashed cactus on the cheeks of the golden beans and the steel pan, and said to Mrs. Luo, "Just apply it like this, and change it every four hours." Luo Yuying said, "I have learned, I can do it myself.

"

" Do you feel cold?" Lin Qiao asked the two children.

"I feel it, it's cool." Jin Dou said.

"Comfort," said Gangzheng.

"You two have a good rest, DouDou and Xiao Wan'er are waiting to play with you." Lin Qiao said.

——After

work this day, Gu Lin brought back a bunch of things from his family.

DouDou was bored looking at the ants on the ground, seeing his father carrying things, and immediately ran to the door to greet him.

Seeing his son running over, Gu Lin cooperatively put down the package and asked his son to carry it.

Doudou's little hand tightly grasped the knot on the top of the snakeskin bag, and tried for a long time with his small belly but failed to pick it up.

"Dad, it's really heavy." He said after a while.

Seeing his son like a little ant carrying heavy loads, Gu Lin thought it was funny, picked him up from the ground and put him under his arm, holding two big packages in one hand, and called Lin Qiao as he walked in.

"The things sent by my family will come by boat today." Gu Lin first took out two remittance slips from his trousers pocket: "This is a wedding gift from them. Parents are three hundred, grandpa is five hundred, and grandpa remits money." The remittance includes the money given by my elder brother and elder sister, one hundred yuan each."

"I didn't expect that they would give us money, and we will go to take out the money when we leave the island someday." Lin Qiao looked at the remittance slip and said.

Gu Lin nodded, "Take it out when I get out of the island."

He added, "I paid the dowry money myself. It's normal for them to give some congratulatory gifts. How can a son get married and his parents don't pay?"

Lin Qiao thought that since they gave Does receiving the wedding gift mean the approval of her marriage with Gu Lin?

In addition, there are clothes, fabrics, and various tin-packed cans.

Gu Lin took a box of canned beef to DouDou, and said, "This is what they sent to you and DouDou. They never sent it to me before. One is that I find it troublesome, and the other is that it is not easy to deliver things in remote places."

He flipped through the pile of fabrics, and said, "The white brown plaid snowflakes and the dark red corduroy are for you to make clothes." Lin Qiao thought that

Gu Lin's parents and grandpa were very hardworking, and deliberately Sent things to the ladies in case they thought it was all for Doug.

She has been worried that Gu Lin's parents will not approve of her, but now she feels their kindness.

"And this is a letter they wrote to us." Gu Lin took out two envelopes, both of which had been opened, and it seemed that they had read the letters.

Before Lin Qiao could speak, Gu Lin handed over the letter and said, "They are quite satisfied with you, you can see for yourself."

Lin Qiao took the letter and said with a smile: "You didn't open the package, but after reading Letter, are you worried that what your parents say is not good, so you have to read it yourself first, and if the content of the letter hinders family harmony, you don't want to read it to me." Gu Lin reached out and pressed Lin Qiao's nose, and put

her The straight and delicate nose was pressed into a pig's nose, and the tone was friendly: "Why do you understand so well, I think so, of course I have to read it first." The

content of the two letters is different, but the content is similar.

First of all, they believe in the vision of their son/grandson. The daughter-in-law he chooses must be in good condition in all aspects.

Besides, after seeing the photos, they all liked Lin Qiao as daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law.

The letter also said that since they adopted Doudou, they should treat him kindly.

After Lin Qiao read the letter, her heart was filled with warmth and touch. His family members must be very generous and kind.

She said, "We need to reply to their letters and send them some special products from our island." Gu Lin handed this matter over

to Lin Qiao, "You can do as you see."

Lin: "Dad, can I eat canned food at night?"

"Of course, we can't eat meat on the island. If we want to eat, we can eat as much as we want. We can eat three cans and heat it up." Gu Lin said generously.

"Should we save some food?" Lin Qiao said.

"No, that will make your partner look too picky." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing, took the can and said, "Okay, it just goes with steamed buns."

——

For a week, Jindou and Gangzhu were almost as good. Luo Yuying was in a better mood and became familiar with the island. She came to Lin Qiao's house in the evening and saw the two cooking in the kitchen. She felt very strange: "Gu Tuan , I never thought you would cook with your wife, I thought you would be like Lao Gao.”

Gu Lin said very frankly: “I also wash clothes with my wife, let your Lao Gao learn from it.”

Luo Yuying Said: "Old Gao doesn't do housework, he is just like an uncle. When he gets home, he drinks tea and reads the newspaper in a decent way, waiting for me to bring the meal to the table." "That's because you want to spoil

him." Gu Lin explain.

After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Yuying asked, "Lin Qiao, you can go to build the pier. Meng Pandi and I are in charge of recording work and transporting sand." Gu Lin explained to Lin Qiao that she waited for the new pier to be repaired, and the island

and There are regular flights outside, and he said that Lin Qiao didn't have to go to work, so he didn't tell her about it.

Lin Qiao asked, "How do you transport sand and soil?"

Luo Yuying said, "It costs 70 cents a day to pick it up with a pole, and there is no money-making work on the island. 70 cents is a lot, and I still manage two meals, even the factory. I don’t care about the food at work, the islanders are all vying to come, and of course my sister-in-law and I are also willing to go.”

Lin Qiao thought that she had never picked things, let alone sand, and was about to refuse when she heard Luo Yuying say : "I think you can't pick up the sand with your small body. The work of cooking is easy. Six cents a day. Would you like to go? There are many people who want to cook, so I can reserve a spot for you?

" It's not easy."

He was hot and tired, and he didn't want his wife to do physical work.

But Lin Qiao agreed, she wanted to try to participate in collective labor.

"Well, I'll write it down for you. I'll greet you the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the construction site together." Luo Yuying said.

After she left, Gu Lin said, "You're only going for a day, I'm worried that you won't be able to persist, and we won't go if you can't do it."

Lin Qiao said, "It shouldn't be difficult to cook."

Gu Lin thought that as long as Lin Qiao cooks, she will definitely experience the hardships of life, but he did not discourage her enthusiasm, and said: "You don't have to worry about your work, we have built three houses on the island, wait Once it's dry and the medicine is shipped from the island, the medical office can be opened, so you can be a doctor on the island."

He thought that Lin Qiao would definitely be willing to accept this job.

Sure enough, Lin Qiao said: "Okay, when I was in my senior year, I took the exam for the qualification certificate to practice medicine. I majored in internal medicine, and our major students all take the exam for the qualification certificate of Western medicine practice. When I was young, I began to identify medicinal materials and learn acupuncture from my grandma. Afterwards, I learned from her apprentice, and I also took the exam for the qualification certificate of Chinese medicine. I am the only student in our school who has two certificates." "

Then you are really good, and you are suitable to be an island doctor. If you have two certificates, you can transport some traditional Chinese medicine. Come here with western medicine, the islanders have a high acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine." Gu Lin said.

"Am I the only doctor?" Lin Qiao asked.

To be an "universal doctor", this is something she never thought of before.

Gu Lin said: "Now there are not many officers and soldiers on the island. You should do it yourself first. You will be responsible for the officers and soldiers and treating the islanders. When there are more officers and soldiers, you will increase the number of doctors." Lin Qiao nodded: "Okay, it's just our

island What if you encounter patients with acute appendicitis who need surgery?"

She feels that the nature of her work is more like that of a rural barefoot doctor, who cannot treat serious illnesses, but can only treat minor illnesses and first aid.

Gu Lin didn't want to put pressure on his daughter-in-law, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, whether you are a soldier or an islander, if you encounter a serious illness or an emergency, we will arrange a landing boat to send the patient to Rongcheng Hospital." Hearing what he said, Lin

Qiao Take it easy.

"It's just that I need to tell you about the salary first. After becoming a full-time undergraduate, the salary level should be the 22nd level, more than 50 yuan, but students of your level have not been allocated after graduation, so your salary cannot be allocated after graduation. The upper wages are already low, so they can only follow the standard of ordinary workers, 30 yuan, plus 8 yuan in subsidies for remote areas, a total of 38 yuan." Gu Lin said.

He thinks it doesn't matter whether the salary is more or less. After all, his salary is more and it is spent by his wife.

Lin Qiao agreed with him. She said, "I don't think it's too short. It would be nice to have a job. I don't want to stay at home every day, and besides, this job is professionally suited.

" I want to thank you for arranging a job for me."

Gu Lin also smiled: "What are you thanking me for? College students are talents cultivated by the country with a lot of money. If I hadn't brought my daughter-in-law to the island, I am afraid that college students would not want to come. Island is definitely a good thing."

"You can really talk, I love to hear every word you say." Lin Qiao said, what she said was her true feelings.

"Really?" Gu Lin was pleasantly surprised, "Many people say that I speak mercilessly, and there are many men who have been trained by me to cry." "Anyway, what I say is

nice to me." Lin Qiao laughed.

"Who told you that you are my wife?" Gu Lin raised the corners of her lips.
