Chapter 26

After breakfast on the third day, Gu Lin wanted to go to the camp first and then to the construction site. The two sister-in-laws came to ask Lin Qiao to go to the construction site together.

They all left their children at home, only Lin Qiao took a pocket.

There was a lively scene of labor at the scene, no matter men or women, many people were picking soil and stones with baskets. Thin and small women work very quickly and have great strength, which is not inferior to men at all.

When Lin Qiao went to her job with a bag, and saw the three big pots, she felt that it would be difficult to earn 70 cents by cooking.

Three people are in charge of meals, and the other two are sister-in-laws of the Li nationality. One of them is a pregnant woman with a big belly, and the other is in her thirties and looks thin. Her surname is Li.

Fu Zhenhua volunteered to be the conductor and divided the work among the three. She asked the pregnant woman to sit on a puddle and wipe shredded green papaya, and asked Lin Qiao to light the fire.

Fu Zhenhua simmered the rice in the pot first, then put the kelp and mushrooms in the pot first, washed the clams and cut the tofu, a large pot of vegetables was slowly simmering.

DouDou insisted on helping Lin Qiao transport firewood, but he was small and weak, dragging a long bundle of firewood, like a snail struggling to transport goods, Lin Qiao looked at him while lighting the fire, the little guy was very proud: "Mom, firewood The grain has arrived."

After Gu Lin walked around the construction site a few times, he went to the cooking place outside the construction site.

From a distance, he saw Lin Qiao in a flowered shirt and blue trousers squatting on the ground to make a fire. Opposite her, squatted a smaller little dumpling. The little guy was holding a huge banana leaf in his hand. He just hid In the shadows, talking to mom.

"Lin Qiao." When he approached, she called out.

Lin Qiao turned her head, with a pleasant surprise on her face: "You're here."

She pulled down the firewood in the stove with a fire stick to make the fire burn hotter before she stood up.

Gu Lin bent down and picked up the bag on the ground and hugged it in his arms. Seeing that Lin Qiao's clothes were dirty, her braids were a little messy, and there was a piece of soot on her face, which just rubbed against her fair right cheek, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her. go.

The movements were very light and meticulous. After wiping the cigarette ash, she gently wiped off the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

He didn't have handkerchiefs at first, but seeing that Lin Qiao knew how to use them, he prepared two and put them in his trouser pockets. Usually he didn't use them himself, but only for his wife, and now they finally came in handy.

Gu Lin scratched DouDou's little nose and said, "DouDou is hot, isn't it?"

"Not hot, I helped my mother with work." DouDou said proudly.

"What a good son." Gu Lin boasted.

"I'll go to work first, you have to have a full meal at noon." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely not be hungry."

When it was time for dinner, Lin Qiao and the three of them served everyone a meal. Everyone brought their own aluminum lunch box, and Lin Qiao's three cooks filled a lunch box for everyone meals.

After dividing the food, there was still food left in the pot, which could be added to those who eat a lot. Lin Qiao and the others also sat down to eat.

In the afternoon, Lin Qiao and Fu Zhenhua went to pick the lychee fruit together, took out the pulp and let it dry in about half a day, and used the dried flesh to make jelly tomorrow.

When she came back, she was still more than 20 meters away from the big pots where they were cooking. Lin Qiao's ears were sharp, and she heard Huang's sister-in-law yelling.

Lin Qiao hurried over, and only then did she know that she was about to give birth. Seeing that she could no longer walk, she could only ask Fu Zhenhua to call two more people to get the door panel, scissors, a bottle of boiling water, and a washbasin at Sister Huang's house. , towels, and children's clothes, she couldn't predict whether Mrs. Huang would be impatient and give birth directly in the same place or on the road.

Fu Zhenhua ran away in a hurry. After she left, several women who had been picking stones came to help. They picked banana leaves and spread them on the ground, let Mrs. Huang sit on the leaves, and took off their shirts , surrounded by a temporary shelter.

DouDou didn't want to watch these things, and obediently ran to a distance to play by himself, without hindering the adults, and would not run too far.

Fu Zhenhua and the others came back quickly, bringing all the things Lin Qiao asked for. Sister-in-law Huang was transferred to the door panel, and they were about to carry the pregnant woman home when Sister-in-law Huang gave birth.

In the past, Lin Qiao always thought that she would be assigned to work in a big hospital, but now she felt that she was a rural midwife.

She cut the baby's umbilical cord, put on small clothes, and handed it to her grandma. The grandma was overjoyed, and happily embraced her granddaughter, crying "A-Nong, A-Nong".

"Thank you, thank you Doctor Lin." Grandma thanked repeatedly.

"You're welcome, take the child back quickly." Lin Qiao said.

Because of the language barrier, Fu Zhenhua acted as a translator, and the two sides communicated smoothly.

After these people left, Lin Qiao and Fu Zhenhua peeled the flesh of the sapling fruit together to dry, and then immediately made dinner.

Dinner is boiled rice noodles, rice noodles are made of rice and sweet potatoes, boiled very soft, slippery and runny, with dried fish, shrimp and gotu kola inside, made two pots.

After dinner and returning home, Lin Qiao steamed another egg for DouDou to eat.

Gu Lin is very busy today. In addition to daily training, the army dormitory and the wharf are under construction. He also took geological exploration experts around the island today and confirmed several well drilling sites.

"Experts say that sweet water wells can be drilled on our island, and the water volume is enough to ensure basic living." Gu Lin told Lin Qiao the good news first.

"That's great, I was hoping to have enough water." Lin Qiao said pleasantly.

She is really not used to picking and drinking water, so it is okay to let her eat less, it is really uncomfortable not having enough water.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's bright smile, Gu Lin leaned over and kissed her on the forehead while going around without looking.

He felt that he was very cowardly. He had kissed his daughter-in-law's forehead at most in so many days, but he didn't make any further moves.

His daughter-in-law's words encouraged him again, so he kissed her once, and Lin Qiao's cheeks became pink. She lowered her head and smiled and said, "I also can't bear to let you get up early every morning to fetch water." "

Really ?” Gu Lin’s heart is so sweet, it’s even more satisfying than Daretian drinking two ladles of Ganlie mountain spring!

The next day, the chef team added a newcomer, and half a fan of wild pork was delivered to the construction site. Fu Zhenhua smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and said, "Yesterday I said I wanted to eat pork, so I can eat it today." After lunch

, They were making scallop jelly, and Granny Li, the mother-in-law of Mrs. Huang's mother-in-law, brought Lin Qiao dried red fish yesterday.

The other party was too enthusiastic and insisted on letting her accept it, so Lin Qiao had no choice but to untie the rope, took a dried fish and said, "Grandma, I'll take one fish, and take the rest back for Mrs. Huang to eat.

" Qiao won, Grandma Li thanked her and carried her things back, but when Lin Qiao was not paying attention, she put the dried red fish on a nearby stone. The method of making the jelly is very simple, that is, wrap the sun-dried flesh of the apple in gauze, rub it repeatedly in cold water, wait for the flesh of the apple to precipitate out mucus, stop the water and add saccharin. "After two hours, the water will agglomerate, and the jelly will be ready." Fu Zhenhua said. When the jelly was ready, Lin Qiao took Doudou and Fu Zhenhua to Lizhai. The tall palm trees shade the low houseboats. The houseboats are not big. They are all built of mud, planks, bamboo and thatch. The house is not big, like an upside-down wooden boat. The village is full of chickens, ducks and dogs leisurely looking for food. There is a grandma who is feeding the ducks with small fish and shrimps. Even the sea urchin that Lin Qiao thinks is very delicious is also used to feed the ducks. Walking on the country road, Fu Zhenhua said: "If a local person you don't know gives you food or drinks, you must not accept it." Lin Qiao hurriedly asked why, and Fu Zhenhua said seriously: " Some people can use poison." She immediately added, "Don't worry, I've heard about it too, that's how my mother educated me, and I just heard about it." Lin Qiao immediately thought of the legend that the ethnic minorities in the borderlands used voodoo There are legends about using poison, but she is not worried, after all, no matter where she is, she will not take food and water from strangers.

Sister-in-law Huang is the second daughter-in-law of the patriarch, and her house is no different from other houses. Grandma Li was helping to take care of the child at her son's house. Lin Qiao explained her purpose and went to see the child. Both mother and daughter were in good health.

Grandma Li refused to take the money, so Lin Qiao still gave two yuan according to the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Back at the construction site, Lin Qiao took the dried red fish and eggs home first, and then started to cook seafood tofu rice. In addition, there was also sweet scallop jelly to eat. After dinner, it was getting late, so I called it a day and went home.

——After

Gu Lin arrived on the island, he also built a meteorological observation field to carry out meteorological monitoring, guarantee military needs, and provide reference for the lives of the islanders.

There was a typhoon passing through the weather monitoring on this day, and it really started to wind and rain in the evening.

Gu Lin was worried that Lin Qiao and Doudou would be scared at home, but they couldn't get away, so he sent soldiers to his home and told his wife and children to close the doors and windows, and go back when he was done.

Lin Qiao and Doudou finished their dinner early, and after the little soldier left, they closed the courtyard and room doors tightly, and went to Doudou's room to read to him.

The sound of wind and rain outside the window was getting louder and the electricity had been cut off long ago. Lin Qiao lit a kerosene lamp and read some military books to Dou Dou.

The little guy is not afraid of thunder and rain at all, he is very excited: "Mom, I want it to rain every day, so that my mother will sleep with me."

Lin Qiao lay on her side, hugging her limp little body: "But what is mother afraid of?" What should I do?"

"I'll protect mom." Dou Dou put her soft arms on Lin Qiao, and spoke like a little man.

The sound of the wind and rain just helped sleep, and Doudou nestled in her mother's arms and quickly fell asleep. Lin Qiao listened to the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves outside, and closed her eyes for a light sleep. When she heard the knock on the door, she immediately opened the door for Gu Lin with a flashlight .

Gu Lin didn't want his daughter-in-law to open the courtyard door in the rain. He came in over the wall. Lin Qiao saw that he was wearing a raincoat and rain shoes, covered in muddy water, and the rain was still dripping down the raincoat. Li Guan, quickly turned sideways to let him in, and closed the door again.

"Are you done?" Lin Qiao asked.

Gu Lin nodded: "The typhoon is expected to stop tomorrow morning."

He looked Lin Qiao up and down: "

Are you scared at home with Doudou

? " At home, her sense of security returned.

He stood still, poked the tip of Lin Qiao's nose with his index finger, looked at the mud on the rain boots and trouser legs, and said, "I'm going to take a shower first." Lin Qiao went into the bedroom and brought clean pajamas to him

. he.

Gu Lin opened the door and went to the bathroom. Lin Qiao closed the door again, turned off the flashlight, and lit the kerosene lamp. There was a puddle of water and a few big muddy footprints where he stood. He had to wait until tomorrow to clean it up. .

When he came back, he stood at the door and washed his shoes with a washbasin, then closed the door, took off his raincoat and hung it on the door frame. She took off the towel and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe your hair again."

Seeing that he wiped it all over, Lin Qiao took the towel again, stretched out her arms and wiped his neck, face and hair carefully.

Gu Lin smelled the quiet fragrance from his daughter-in-law, waited patiently for her to finish wiping, then hung the towel back on the shelf, stretched out her long arms, and wrapped Lin Qiao around her, clasping her in her arms, wrapping her arms tightly around her.

The next second, Lin Qiao was still looking at his hair, and the next second, she was caught off guard and fell into his firm and broad embrace.

His two big hands were very strong, rubbing and pressing on her back, as if he wanted to press her into his body.

His cheek was pressed against the woman's smooth face, he couldn't help himself, and his voice was low: "Lin Qiao, hug me too, we haven't hugged each other before.

" Yi Yi pulled out both arms, and stretched out to wrap around Gu Lin's waist.

Gu Lin felt the flexible strength around his waist, and his body was obviously more tense, as if he was encouraged, he turned his face to look at Lin Qiao's soft lips like petals, bowed his head and kissed Lin Qiao without hesitation.

At first, he just stuck to each other, and the two of them pressed their lips together a few times, and then he knew what to do. He clasped the back of the woman's head with his big hand, pressed his tongue against Lin Qiao's lips, and rammed between her lips. His body was hot, and the kiss was intense and intense, with a strong and pleasant smell of male hormones. Within a minute or two, Lin Qiao's whole body went limp from being kissed, relying on his body to support her so that she wouldn't go limp. Lin Qiao's whole body was soft, but her movements were stiff. Gu Lin thought maybe her movements were as stiff as hers. If it continues, he will not be able to control it. He wants to sleep with his wife now, want her hard, and let her become his own woman completely and completely. He was patient enough to wait a few more days. He believes that one day they will be able to love each other, and it will be a matter of course. Gu Lin breathed heavily, and although he was reluctant, he still maintained the posture of embracing her, keeping a little distance from her, looking down at her red lips that were kissed, which were more gorgeous than begonia petals, and his voice was tainted with desire. Hoarse: "It's late, go to sleep." Keeping his arms on Lin Qiao's back, he bent down and put his other arm on the crook of her leg. He hugged the woman horizontally, as if he was holding the whole world, carefully He walked to the bed full of joy, put his beloved woman on the bed, pulled off the towel and covered her. He bent down and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Go to sleep." Gu Lin turned off the kerosene lamp with satisfaction, walked to the other side of the bed, and lay down to sleep. Listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, I slept very soundly that night. ——On Sunday afternoon, Gu Lin finally had time. They went up the mountain to pick a large basket of coconuts and came back, and they also picked up a little macaque that had been injured on its hind legs. The houses of the medical office on the island were built and dried, and the medicines were brought in from outside the island. Lin Qiao started the life of an island doctor.

There are three brick buildings built with solid stones in the medical office. The middle one is the consultation room. Medicines are placed in the left room, and three consultation beds are placed in the right room.

There is no courtyard wall in the medical office, but a large courtyard is surrounded by bamboo.

Lin Qiao took Doudou to work at the medical office. Xiaowaner, Jindou and Steel Tong all felt that it was a novelty, so they all came to the medical office to play. After playing for half a day in the morning, only Doudou took the little macaque to play under the palm tree in the yard in the afternoon. Son.

The little macaque's leg injury has almost healed. It is lively and active, and it can't rest at all, so it starts to climb the tree.

Doudou looked at the little monkey climbing the tree, and said, "Little monkey, why don't you go back to the mountains, or just live with our family." In

the afternoon, a soldier with heatstroke came. When it was more serious, Lin Qiao gave him an injection, and asked the chief secretary who sent him to wipe his body continuously, and fan him with a banana leaf fan to cool down his body temperature. Half an hour later, the soldier's spirits improved a bit. Lin Qiao made him drink some wild chrysanthemum water

for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Doudou stood beside the bed with Kong Kong in his arms and said, "Uncle, you just called mom in a daze."

Their four children named the macaque Monkey King Kongkong.

He was surprised. This uncle was tall, dark-skinned, and looked as strong as an iron tower, but he still called his mother when he was sick.

The little soldier is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was transferred from Qingcheng, and he has not yet adapted to the hot and humid weather here.

The little soldier's complexion had just turned better, and at this moment his face was red again, scratching his head and saying embarrassedly: "I'm confused, I really don't know, is it embarrassing." Doudou stretched out his little finger and said: "Let's pull the hook

, I will never say anything."

"Come on, Lagou." The little soldier also extended his little finger.

When he was leaving, Lin Qiao wrapped him a pack of wild chrysanthemums and asked him to drink some wild chrysanthemum tea.

The little soldier took the wild chrysanthemum, was moved to the point of tears, and hurriedly said: "Thank you sister-in-law."

What is even more surprising is that a sweet water well was dug on the island. Gu Lin took two geological experts to survey the vicinity of the camp and the islander's residential area, and finally determined the location of the well.

The nearest well is between the camp and the family courtyard. For safety and convenience, a pressurized water tap was installed.

After a period of precipitation, the well water is finally ready for use.

The well water is clear and sweet, and Lin Qiao can't carry a bucket of water. She can only carry half a bucket each time. If Gu Lin is at home, and he will fill the water tank with water, Lin Qiao can only carry half a bucket of water each time when he is not at home. Carry it home.

After lunch at noon on Sunday, Lin Qiao, Meng Pandi and Luo Yuying went to the camp cafeteria to make refreshments for the soldiers.

Now it is getting hotter and hotter, some soldiers from the north are not used to the hot weather, and some young soldiers are still homesick, so they decided to make some delicious food for the soldiers to relieve the heat and relieve their homesickness.

The new pier has been repaired, and neither Meng Pandi nor Luo Yuying are working.

After Lin Qiao soaked the wild chrysanthemum water and boiled the Polygonatum odoratum water, she began to cook mung beans, red beans and barley. Meng Pandi and Luo Yuying had a lot of coconuts in front of them. Together with the soldiers from the cooking class, they opened the coconuts, poured out the coconut water, and used the coconut meat to make coconut milk.

In addition to these ingredients, bananas and pineapples are also added to Qingbuliang, and some saccharin is added.

——There

have been several changes on the island during this time.

After the dormitories in the camp were built, four more battalions went to the island one after another, and there were four more military wives and eight children on the island.

The army ran a farm, planted grain, trees, vegetables, and raised pigs and chickens. Meng Pandi, Luo Yuying and other military wives all went to work on the farm. The main food crops on the island are corn, sweet potatoes and upland rice. Although the villages have learned from Dazhai, they still plant extensively. The two sister-in-laws spread sea mud on the ground with the islanders, and teach the islanders to fertilize and pull weeds , When the planting level increases, the grain output will naturally increase.

The cultural level of the islanders is generally not high. Most of them can’t finish primary school. The school is also a house made of wood, bamboo, and thatch. Now a new school building is being built with stone cement. In the future, children of the army and islanders will be in this school. School-age children like Jin Dou are already studying in thatched cottage primary school. There is also a new military doctor at the medical point. Her name is Xu Haiou. She is in her 40s. She came to the island with the army in the 1950s. Floating on the sea for a day and a night with the plank of the boat, she thought that there was no hope of survival, but the army and the islanders did not give up. Later, she was found by the islanders who came to look for her, and only then did she save her life. Xu Haiou is grateful to the islanders and has deep feelings for Qiongya Island. Her partner passed away a few years ago, and her children have already married. She has no worries, so she voluntarily transferred to work on the island. The medical office originally had three rooms, and two rooms were built next to it as her dormitory. She went to work on Sundays and rested on Mondays, and Lin Qiao rested on Sundays, so as to ensure that the medical office was full of people every day. In case a soldier or an islander has an emergency at night, there is no need to go to Lin Qiao's house to call the door, just come to the medical office to find her. ——In the evening Gu Lin came back from work and brought back a bucket of sea cucumbers. The seafood caught by the fishing team will be transported to the cafeteria, and the wives of officers and soldiers can also buy it, which is slightly lower than the price that the islanders hand over to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Gu Lin fished out a bunch of sea cucumbers from the bucket and said, "We'll eat these tonight." "These sea cucumbers must have cost a lot of money." Lin Qiao asked. Living on the island for such a long time, she knows that the most expensive seafood sold by the islanders is dried sea cucumber and dried abalone, both of which are about 15 yuan a catty. "This sea cucumber can't be eaten all at once, you can dry it in the sun." Gu Lin said. Lin Qiao knows how to soak and cook sea cucumbers, but she has never done the reverse operation of drying them. "Should I cook it too?" Lin Qiao asked. Gu Lin said: "It has to be boiled. It is now raised in sea water. I will clean the internal organs tomorrow morning. You can boil the sea cucumber until it shrinks, and then dry it in the sun."

Lin Qiao said, "Okay, then let's have dinner first."

"How is your father treating you?" Gu Lin asked.

Lin Qiao didn't know why he suddenly brought up this topic, and said, "My dad is very kind to us three brothers and sisters. He is very strict with us, and often says, 'Parents love their children, and their plans are far-reaching'. He asked us to be self-reliant, we had to work hard to find a way out, he met our material needs, but did not allow us to indulge in pleasure, he trained us in various life skills, such as cooking, sewing, swimming and driving.” “Your dad really has ideas

, Our education for Doudou may not be as good as his." Gu Lin said, he changed the topic and said: "There is a shipyard on the island, and there are large-scale military projects. I need construction experts. I want to put Your dad brought him to the island." Lin Qiao felt a light suddenly shine in the darkness, Gu Lin might really need construction experts, but it must be because he wanted to take care of Lin Peiyuan that he wanted to let him go to the island. "Will it cause you trouble? Will it affect you?" Lin Qiao asked, after thinking for a while, she added, "Because of me, you have come to guard the deserted island. I hope my dad can live a little easier. But if it will drag you down, let's not do it." Gu Lin's tone was very relaxed: "You don't have to worry about it, your father is a famous construction expert, and his professional achievements are obvious to all. Although he was sent down, it is reasonable for me to use him Yes, besides, the environment on our island is already relaxed, and we only do construction, not sports." He said it so easily, and his tone seemed to have no difficulty at all, which made Lin Qiao very moved. "However, Dad can't live in our house when he comes. He lives in the army dormitory, outside the camp, near the guest house, but it's a bit far from the soldiers' dormitory. If you go to other islands, you have to live in the dormitory on the construction site. They are all thatched houses, and the conditions are average. "Gu Lin said. Lin Qiao understood what he meant. No matter where he went, Lin Peiyuan was a devolved person, so of course he couldn't live in his daughter's house. "I know." Lin Qiao said, "It's good that my dad can come to the island and live outside the camp, so it's convenient for me to find him."

For dinner, there are sea cucumbers with green onions, steamed eggs with sea cucumbers, and quinoa soup with sea cucumbers and dates. The sea cucumbers have no taste at all, but the family of three feel that the sea cucumbers with strong flavors are more delicious.

At night, Doudou fell asleep at eight o'clock, Lin Qiao washed up first and changed Gu Lin's pants. The knees of the long military trousers were frayed, so they were cut short for wearing at home, and the rotten cloth was cut, and the remaining good cloth could be used to make shorts for Doudou.

Gu Lin came back from the shower within a few minutes, seeing the daughter-in-law who was doing needlework under the lamp warmed her heart. She never thought that a woman would sew and mend for him. The enrichment and warmth given to him is much better than being alone.

While wiping her hair, Gu Lin said, "Daughter-in-law, you ate too much sea cucumber for me tonight."

Lin Qiao turned her head to look at him, saw that his eyes were dark as ink and was also looking at her intently, and said with a smile: "You Stuffed?"

"You know that's not what I mean!" Gu Lin said.

"Can it have such an immediate effect? The effect of sea cucumber on strengthening yang is not that good. If the effect is so obvious, there will be no impotence." Lin Qiao said.

As a doctor, there is no pressure to say these words.

Gu Lin was not ashamed in the first place. After wiping her hair, she hung the towel on the towel rack in the main room. Then she walked back and went directly to Lin Qiao's side. She sniffed the aroma of her hair and said, "Sea cucumbers are so expensive, they are sick people." I can’t eat sea cucumbers, but it’s very effective for me anyway.”

Lin Qiao looked at him and smiled: “Then I’ll give you shrimp, oysters, and crabs, and many seafoods have that effect.”

Gu Lin’s face was superficial Hou: "Anyway, it works pretty well for me."

Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Then we can only eat these things in the future, so we won't overfill you."

Gu Lin raised the corners of his lips: "It's really hard to say. "

Then you will eat less in the future."

"I don't." Chapter 27

Lin Qiao had recently become acquainted with the people in the village. On Sunday, she carried a basket to the village and brought back three big roosters and seven or eight chicks. Gu Lin built a nest for the chickens, and now the temperature has dropped a bit compared with the dog days, and the chicks are easy to feed.

The three roosters are for Doudou to nourish his body, Lin Qiao stopped his seafood, and planned to use traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate his body.

In the morning, a pot was cooking breakfast, and the medicine pots on the pot were gurgling and steaming, smelling the smell of Chinese medicine all over the courtyard. Going around felt a sense of crisis, and asked Lin Qiao, "Mom, are Chinese medicines for you?" Lin Qiao asked

. Nodding the tip of his nose: "I am in very good health. I don't need to drink traditional Chinese medicine. Of course it is for you. I want to replenish your qi and blood and regulate your spleen and stomach." The little guy wrinkled his face and was

unhappy He groaned, and after breakfast, Lin Qiao gave him Chinese medicine, but his stomach couldn't accept the Chinese medicine at all, so he vomited it all up, and tried again at noon, but he still vomited, Lin Qiao had no choice but to give up, and could only eat seafood , Give food and supplements around.

The next day after giving up taking traditional Chinese medicine, Doudou developed eczema.

Gu Lin carried water into the hospital, and immediately saw the abnormality in the bag, put down the bucket and pole, and squatted down to look: "Is he allergic to seafood? We didn't let him eat too much seafood." Lin Qiao

said : "It's not that he is allergic to seafood. He has eaten all kinds of seafood recently. He is not allergic, and his stomach can adapt. Qiongya Island is hot and humid. We are suffering from eczema." Gu Lin was relieved, and picked up two buckets of water to

go Walking by the water tank, he said, "That's okay. Soldiers also suffer from eczema, and it will be fine in a few days." "

We're already doing well, but I'm still worried that he won't get used to the water and soil, or his stomach won't get used to eating seafood." Lin Qiao said.

During this period of eczema, you have to stop seafood.

Unable to wash DouDou's face, Lin Qiao wiped it with a handkerchief dipped in plain water. DouDou walked into the room with his calves, picked up the round mirror, saw the red spots on his face, and yelled again: "Mom, it's so long. Is it contagious, can I still play with Sister Xiaowaner?"

"Not contagious, of course I can play with her." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Qiao found a broken step to make a cloth pocket and put it on Doudou's hands to prevent him from scratching. Doudou sat on the small bench with both little hands covered, looking very cute and well-behaved.

——Gu

Lin's investigation of the "sea monster" incident has finally made progress. They found a vortex in the nearby waters, which is very prone to shipwreck accidents. The legendary Ming Dynasty merchant ship was not found, but they found the one left by the Japanese when they fled. battleship.

They estimated that someone might want to find the items on the sunken ship, but they did not tell the islanders about this speculation. They only said that there was a sunken warship and they could not approach it, and the ships had to go around. Explosives may cause an explosion.

Although it didn't take long to come, the army had established prestige among the islanders, and the islanders already knew which sea area was dangerous, so they agreed to detour.

Besides, the sea monster has never appeared in China. The islanders say that the justice of the People's Liberation Army suppressed the sea monster.

He came back late that day, Doudou had already fallen asleep, there was a chair beside the bed, and there was a kerosene lamp on the chair, Lin Qiao was reading a book by the dim light.

In the beating firelight, the woman's skin was white and delicate, while his own skin was rough and fleshy.

Gu Lin didn't want to bear it anymore, he married such a beautiful daughter-in-law and kept it at home, it's been a month or two, and he hasn't slept yet, who can bear it.

Gu Lin's gaze locked Lin Qiao firmly, Lin Qiao looked back at him, four eyes met in the air, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and blurted out: "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Lin Qiao: "..." She was a

little

embarrassed , suddenly laughed out loud: "Can you speak more gracefully."

Gu Lin stood tall and tall, watching Lin Qiao's fair and pretty face turn pink because of shyness, and said: "Don't you all talk about sleeping with your own wife? What do you cultured people say?"

Lin Qiao covered her face with her hands and kept laughing, her voice came out from between her fingers: "You went to college, so you are also a cultured person."

"I know I'm a rough person in your heart." Seeing that Lin Qiao kept covering her face with her slender white hands and smiling, Gu Lin stepped to the edge of the bed in three steps, and when she stepped onto the bed, she moved to Lin Qiao's side like a nimble leopard. , Stretched out a big rough hand to break Lin Qiao's fingers: "Don't worry about what I say? Can you?"

Lin Qiao's two hands were removed from his face by him, and they were tightly held in the palms, and her back was against him. half of his body was already leaning against his arms.

"Okay." Feeling the scorching heat of his body, Lin Qiao only felt flushed.

Gu Lin felt that it was better to point directly, and when she got an affirmative answer, she no longer hesitated, and immediately moved her body away, released her hands with both hands, and immediately transferred her right hand to the belt buckle, her knuckle fingers moved a few times at will, and in the blink of an eye, the belt It was loosened, and the trousers had been ripped off with his left hand.

Lin Qiao had a panoramic view of everything in front of her eyes: "..."

This set of movements was full of lust, and the man didn't even try to hide it.

Lin Qiao looked at his long, strong legs, with smooth and graceful muscles and tendons. In the next second, his vest had been removed, and his eight-pack slightly protruding abdominal muscles were hard and well-defined. When he pulled down his underwear , Lin Qiao saw the powerful tendon lines extending downward along the mermaid line, and under the dim kerosene lamp, the vigorous sense of strength in the young body seemed to break through the restraint and burst out.

Lin Qiao's face was so hot that she covered it again.

Gu Lin: ...So she covered her face to mean letting him do whatever he wanted.

The skin touched by the thin callused palm was as smooth and soft as silk. His hand suddenly retracted as if it had been scalded, and he quickly turned off the kerosene lamp. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to her side and pressed him sideways. .

Gu Lin got up at four o'clock in the morning and wanted to carry water for training. Seeing that Lin Qiao was sleeping soundly, he kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then he saw the obvious red marks on Lin Qiao's fair neck.

He lay down next to her again, looking at him quietly, with a focused and soft expression, waiting for her to wake up.

When Lin Qiao woke up, she happened to see Gu Lin looking at her without blinking. Feeling that it was dawn, she said, "You haven't woken up yet?"

Gu Lin stretched out her big hand to gently caress her slender fair neck, Said: "You have marks all over your neck."

Gu Lin got out of bed and brought a round mirror, and then lay on her side next to Lin Qiao, supporting her body with one arm, and holding the mirror with the other hand to take a picture of her.

"Who told you to gnaw my neck!" Thinking of last night, Lin Qiao blamed.

Gu Lin was amused, he put the mirror next to his pillow, and pulled Lin Qiao towards him: "Let me see you, there should be a lot of marks." Lin Qiao grabbed the collar: "Don't show it

. ""

"I've done the most intimate things, why can't I watch them." Gu Lin didn't understand.

Lin Qiao approached him, buried her head in his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "I won't show it."

Gu Lin wrapped her arms around her, and her neck was itchy with his wife's silky face: "That can only be done, not seen." Is it?"

Lin Qiao wanted him to shut up.

"How do you feel? Does it hurt?" Gu Lin snorted and asked.

Lin Qiao wanted to say it didn't hurt, but she only moved her body and felt a little soreness in her waist, back, and thighs.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, how did you feel last night?" Gu Lin insisted on asking, he wanted to know if he was being too reckless.

"Who wants to share feelings with you!" Lin Qiao still pressed her face against his shoulders and neck, not wanting to tell him this.

Gu Lin insisted on asking, but Lin Qiao had no choice but to say, "It's swollen, it's numb." "

Then how do you feel?" In order to prevent him from continuing to ask, Lin Qiao hurriedly asked.

"It's just that I know that my strength can still be used on my daughter-in-law." Gu Lin said solemnly.

Lin Qiao clenched her fist and hit him on the back, saying angrily, "You're not serious."

"I don't want to be serious with my wife!" Gu Lin grabbed her hand.

She just hugged Gu Lin sideways and refused to get up, and Gu Lin also hugged her, and the two got tired of it for a while.

Until the sound of a child walking outside the door, it should be that DouDou has gotten up, and the sound of footsteps continues into the yard.

Gu Lin kissed Lin Qiao on the forehead, got up and said, "Lie down a little longer, I'll go to the cafeteria to cook."

Lin Qiao was still curled up on his side, watching him put on his military uniform quickly, his whole body was in high spirits. Said, that biting awe-inspiring righteousness has returned, his face is stern and heroic, serious and serious, and he looks like a different person on the bed.

Gu Lin’s voice came from the yard: “Wash your face and brush your teeth, eldest son, you’re so good. Wait for Dad to come back from cooking.”

When Gu Lin came back from cooking, Lin Qiao was hungry and didn’t want to stay in bed anymore. The marks were too obvious, so I had to tie a silk scarf to cover up the red marks.

Breakfast is shrimp porridge, mixed noodles steamed buns, pickles, and three eggs boiled by Gu Lin.

Doudou saw the red silk scarf on her mother's neck and said, "Mom, your silk scarf is so pretty, but isn't it too hot?"

Lin Qiao laughed and said, "A big mosquito bit my neck with red marks. "

Gu Lin: "..."

——Dongfeng

Farm on the border of Yun Province, near the rubber forest, in a low and dark thatched hut, Lin Peiyuan was packing his things. He had very few things, clothes, more than a dozen professional books, and a bag Cigarette tickets, tobacco leaves.

Xu Manzhi looked for relationships in many ways, hoping to make Lin Peiyuan's life a little better. It happened that the military representative on the farm was an old friend of the Lin family, so with more care, Lin Peiyuan's life was not bad. Han Wenwu pushed open the door made of branches, and stood at the door to let the sun shine in. He meditated for a few seconds, pushed the door in, closed the door again, and said, "Old Lin, I'm going to get the manuscript." They are all on the farm, but their identities are completely different.

When he was in the Institute of Architecture, Lin Peiyuan was the director, and Han Wenwu was an ordinary researcher, responsible for various miscellaneous tasks. Now Lin Peiyuan is a delegated staff, and Han Wenwu is in charge of monitoring him.

If necessary, he needs to report Lin Peiyuan's daily actions.

He is a young man in his early twenties, with a good family background, and his parents are both farm laborers. After working in the research institute, Lin Peiyuan felt that he had a future and supported him all the time. His father was seriously ill, and Lin Peiyuan also subsidized him for medical expenses. Han Wenwu knew that Thanksgiving, I have been doing my best to take care of Lin Peiyuan's daily life after arriving at the farm.

This time, the two will go to the island together.

Lin Peiyuan also felt that it was a pity that it was a draft of a general history of architecture, which he wrote in two years, and a small part was still unfinished. Unable to publish.

Now he felt that the manuscript was not particularly important, so he waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a manuscript? I can still write it in the future. I don't want it anymore."

Han Wenwu was more reconciled than Lin Peiyuan, and the person who wanted to leave the manuscript was the political director of the farm.

This was made by director Lin for two years. The director of political affairs asked him to leave, saying that it was for his brother who studied architecture and would return it soon.

He had no expectations of the political director's character.

It's been three months, and he has to pay it again during the period, saying that he will pay it back in a week. From the looks of it now, he probably doesn't want to pay it back.

Maybe this manuscript will be published by others for fame. In Director Lin's situation, there is no reason for the manuscript to be published under a false name.

Han Wenwu didn't want Lin Peiyuan to worry, so he said, "That's fine."

After leaving, he went to the political director to ask for the manuscript.

I thought that if I didn’t come back, it might take a lot of talking, but I didn’t expect that the other party would happily return the manuscript to him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Hey, I almost forgot the manuscript, my brother didn’t read it at all, take it Let's go."

Han Wenwu felt very surprised, but he hid his surprised expression very well and said politely.

Back at the thatched hut, Han Wenwu said happily: "I brought back the manuscript, and the director of politics returned it without fuss."

Lin Peiyuan was surprised and excited: "That's good."

The door was only a crack open, and Han Wenwu sat by the door, flipping through the pages one by one under the faint light, and seeing that there were no missing pages, he put the manuscript and professional books together with confidence.

——On

Sunday, Liu Doudou was at home playing with Xiaowaner, Jindou, and Steel Coin, and Lin Qiao was going to pick up Lin Peiyuan.

"Doudou wait at home obediently, I'll pick up grandpa." Lin Qiao said.

Doudou obediently agrees.

Around two o'clock, the big ship sailed into the pier, and soldiers came and went carrying supplies. In the crowd, Lin Qiao saw Lin Peiyuan at a glance.

I haven't seen him for a few months. Lin Peiyuan, who used to be handsome and often wears a suit and shirt, has changed drastically. He looks thinner and darker, and his clothes seem to be one size bigger.

In the future on the island, she will definitely take care of her father's body.

"Dad, I'm here." Lin Qiao waved to them excitedly.

"Lin Qiao." Seeing his daughter, Lin Peiyuan waved his hand, and walked faster.

Unexpectedly, I would meet my daughter on a deserted island more than 3,000 kilometers away from home.

Lin Qiao also walked a few steps forward, seeing that Lin Peiyuan had nothing in his hands, she asked, "Dad, where is the luggage?"

Lin Peiyuan pointed to the young man beside him, and said, "This is Xiao Han, he is carrying the luggage."

Lin Qiao Knowing the other party's identity, Han Wenwu carried the two large luggage bags, and Lin Peiyuan went into battle lightly, with nothing in his hands.

Based on this, Lin Qiao had a good impression of this young man, and he was thin, clean and kind.

"It's been a lot of trouble for you during this time." Lin Qiao greeted him.

"Don't be polite to me." Han Wenwu showed his white teeth, and his smile was very clean.

"Dad, let's go, you go to the dormitory to settle down first." Lin Qiao said.

At the gate of the camp, Lin Qiao called the soldiers on guard to inform Gu Lin that the people had arrived, and Gu Lin quickly arranged for the soldiers to come and take them to the dormitory.

These dormitories are next to the guest house, and the conditions are naturally not bad. The houses built of stone and cement, Lin Peiyuan and Han Wenwu each live in one room, with a small window, single beds placed against the wall, bedding is the same as that used by soldiers, and a table. One chair, and four empty ammunition boxes, exactly two for one person, can be used for luggage.

"This room is much better than when we were on the farm." Han Wenwu was very satisfied with the room.

The soldiers also took them to the guest house, where they would eat in the guest house, and when the shipyard started construction, they would eat at the construction site.

After the soldiers left, Lin Qiao saw that it was already three o'clock, so she said, "Go to my house to rest, and have dinner at my house." Lin Peiyuan

also wanted to visit his daughter's house, and said, "Let's go." "

I won't follow You guys went, I'm eating in the cafeteria." Facing the invitation, Han Wenwu said.

"You have to recognize the family." Lin Qiao said enthusiastically.

"Let's go, Wenwu." Lin Peiyuan said.

Hearing what Lin Peiyuan said, Han Wenwu said: "Then I will trouble my sister and brother-in-law." It

only takes five minutes to walk to Lin Qiao's house. , Lin Qiao greeted him: "Doudou, this is grandpa."

"Grandpa." Doudou called obediently.

"Dad, this is the child adopted by Gu Lin and I." Lin Qiao introduced.

Xu Manzhi would ask someone to inquire about Lin Peiyuan's situation, but there was no correspondence between the two parties, and Lin Peiyuan didn't know the situation of his family at all.

Lin Peiyuan looked at Doudou, thinking that this little guy's nose and mouth really resembled Lin Qiao's.

He happened to hear him say: "I am not adopted, I was born by my mother." Doudou grabbed Lin Qiao's clothes.

Lin Qiao stroked his hair: "Okay, go and get the coconuts."

Lin Qiao poured boiled water for the two of them, and Doudou and the little macaque brought five coconuts, Han Wenwu opened the coconuts with a kitchen knife, and four of them were poured In the glass, while drinking coconut juice, Lin Peiyuan looked at the small courtyard, where he grows vegetables, fruit trees and chickens. It looks similar to life in the countryside, and the girls who used to be very well dressed are dressed like most of them. The people are similar, so it can be seen that she does as the Romans do, and is trying her best to adapt to life on the island.

Because of the presence of outsiders, the father and daughter couldn't talk much, so Lin Qiao went to cook dinner. She said that there were fish and shrimps at home, and asked about Han Wenwu's eating habits. Any food is fine." Lin Qiao cooks steamed grouper, braised white shrimp in oil, stewed squid with tofu, the two of them may not have an appetite after traveling all the way, she also made light bacon stewed radish soup, and stir-fried mustard head. DouDou and Lin Peiyuan are already familiar, he is sitting on his grandfather's lap chatting with him, DouDou said: "I like Xiaoshu the most, he also wants to go to the island, his mother left, he is very upset. " Qing, Lin Peiyuan was confused when he heard this: "... Where the hell did Xiaoshu go?" Gu Lin also came back early, and immediately introduced the two of them: "This is my father, this is grandpa." " Dad " Gu Lin called out. "Hey." Lin Peiyuan replied, his eyes were filled with tears, this father's call was affectionate and natural, he actually has such a good son-in-law! The farm informed him that he was going to participate in the construction of the island, and only then did he know that he had a head son-in-law. Judging by his position, he thinks that his son-in-law must be in his thirties, and his daughter is only twenty-two. He thinks that her daughter must have made a choice of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages because of love. Unexpectedly, the son-in-law looks very young, tall and straight, He has a dignified appearance, looks very calm, and is much more handsome than he imagined. He was so well matched with his daughter. He is very satisfied with his son-in-law.

He had always been reserved before, but now he was moved and said: "Gu Lin, my girl didn't do much work at home before, she couldn't carry her hands on her shoulders, and she wasn't as capable as ordinary women. Take care of the bad things. "

Gu Lin looked in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Dad, Lin Qiao is pretty good. She is much better at cooking and making clothes than ordinary people. Besides, she is an island doctor and the most popular on the island." Han Wenwu also

followed Gu Lin greeted: "Gu Tuan, I'm Xiao Han."

Gu Lin looked him up and down, Han Wenwu is an important person, and the island needs such a person, who happened to come to the island in the name of monitoring Lin Peiyuan. Impeccable, Gu Lin nodded: "Okay."

There was a passing eye contact between the two, and they didn't talk much after that.

After dinner, Han Wenwu went back to the dormitory first, so that Lin Peiyuan and his daughter could talk freely about his situation at home and on the farm.

"My mother originally wanted to visit you on the farm during the summer vacation, but she couldn't go because she wanted to bring the little tree. She should be very happy to know that you came to the island. I wrote to tell my mother." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Qiao said: "She has been trying to find out about you, maybe she already knows."

Lin Peiyuan sighed: "I didn't expect your mother to care about me so much, which made her frightened." After a

short period of observation, he felt that his daughter and son-in-law were on good terms. He said to Gu Lin: "Lin Qiao used to be squeamish, reserved and loved to dress up. Our family pampered you so badly that you are now a military wife. All these things have to be changed. Traditional women's virtuous, forbearing and hard-working family Lin Qiao should not be there, thanks to your tolerance for her."

Doudou said aside: "Grandpa, my dad likes my mother, he likes a delicate mother."

Gu Lin glanced at Lin Qiao, saw her pursed her lips and smiled , stroked the top of Doudou's hair with his big hand, and said, "Dad, I don't require my women to be virtuous. A daughter-in-law is meant to be pampered when she marries. Lin Qiao has many advantages, and she doesn't need to change them at all. She is fine like this."

Lin Peiyuan looked at his son-in-law, who was about 1.8 meters tall, mighty and heroic, with a firm face, but he looked at his daughter with extremely gentle eyes, and said these words naturally and smoothly, without any affectation.

Like someone in love.

DouDou said, "Grandpa, do you feel a little nauseous? This is how my dad talks to my mom. I'm used to it."

Lin Peiyuan couldn't help laughing.

"Doudou, don't talk nonsense with your father!" Lin Qiao said angrily, "I have goosebumps."

Lin Peiyuan said, "Your way of getting along is a hundred times better than me and your mother. It's

very good." After six o'clock in the evening Zhong, the three of them sent Lin Peiyuan back to the dormitory, and brought a pack of cooked Pu'er, fish fillets, dried shrimps, and dried fruits that he could eat directly for him to use as snacks: "Dad, you usually drink some cooked Pu'er to nourish your stomach and help you eat." You can come to my house for dinner and go to bed early."

"You don't have to worry about me from now on," Lin Peiyuan said.

Lin Peiyuan is an expert in the field of construction. These days, his job is to determine the location of the shipyard, and he will go to other islands with Gu Lin to secretly determine the location of the combat readiness base.

These days, Lin Qiao was making clothes after dinner. She made a set for Lin Peiyuan and Han Wenwu respectively. It took two weeks for them to be delivered on the third Sunday.

After lunch at noon on Sunday, Lin Qiao immediately made chicken dung and vine powder with the military wives to cool off the summer heat and dampness for the infrastructure engineers who were working on the shipyard site.

The children are playing around in the yard.

Seeing Kongkong brought a short shovel from the corner, scooped up the bird droppings and threw them into the chicken coop, the children cheered.

"Wow, it's so smart, and it can do things."

"Wow, it can understand human language."

Doudou was very proud: "Except that it can't speak, it's almost like a child."

The children were very envious, They also want to raise a cute and obedient monkey.

Lin Qiao and the others kneaded cassava flour and cassava flour into dough, kneaded it into long strips, cooked it, added coconut milk, and then went to the construction site with five buckets of cassava flour.

Engineers came to the island to be responsible for the construction of the shipyard, and they will be transferred to build a combat readiness island in the future.

The battalion commander commanded everyone: "Thank you sisters-in-law for coming to condolences. Let's sing a song for them, "We Walk on the Main Road". Get ready.

" Hover over the construction site.

Hearing the words "Xiang Qianjin", Lin Qiao got goosebumps, and went straight to find Lin Peiyuan.

The two talked a little far away: "Dad, it's hot on the island. You must drink more water. You can still get used to it.

" The environment is very satisfactory.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Qiao brought the finished clothes over in a bag.

"Grandpa, Uncle Xiaohan, we have brought you clothes." DouDou shouted.

"I also have clothes? Are they really good?" Han Wenwu said pleasantly. Lin Qiao said

: "Your dad doesn't have much luggage, and he certainly doesn't have much clothes. I made it for my dad, and by the way, I also made a set for you. I made it according to the size. If it doesn't fit, tell me."

I compared my suit with myself: "It definitely fits well, and this dress is still cool. Sis, it's really expensive, and it's not easy to buy. I'll give you the money for the fabric." "It doesn't take much fabric to make a suit of clothes.

You You don't need to give me money, and besides, you call me sister, I made clothes for my younger brother."

Han Wenwu was delighted to hear this, and the two pushed back a few times, but Lin Qiao was determined not to accept money, so he said: "Okay, sister, then I'll take the clothes."

"You need to sew and mend in the future, so you can't find me. If I'm not here, you can find Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Gao. They often mend clothes for soldiers." Lin Qiao said.

Han Wenwu was very moved and said, "Then I will thank my sister and sister-in-law first." Chapter 28

On weekends, Lin Qiao would bring back Chinese herbal medicines collected from Doudou Mountain and prepare them by herself. These days they brought Kong Kong with them when they went up the mountain, and wanted to let it go, but Kong Kong was unwilling to leave.

This time they decided to go a little farther, to an area where there are macaques infested, and if they saw the same kind in vain, they might leave.

The mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, and Kong Kong was bouncing around in the grass. Gu Lin listened intently to the movement in the grass, and opened the way ahead with a sickle, reminding the mother and wife from time to time not to be scratched by the branches.

He looked at the cliff not far away and said, "Come here, Kongkong, go back to your monkey group, Doudou, you tell it."

Doudou picked up the macaque and said, "Kongkong, this is not far from your home." Come on, you should go home."

One person and one monkey looked at each other with wide eyes.

Kongkong twisted his body, got out of Doudou's arms, and ran forward, ran to the edge of the cliff, and ran up a sour bean tree.

Everyone thought that this time they were going to leave empty-handed, so Gu Lin squatted down, his eyes were at the same level as Doudou, and said: "After walking for a long time, Doudou is tired, let's go back.

"

At this moment, Kongkong hugged the tree trunk, facing the three of them, stretched out his body and stretched out his arms, and slapped the stones on the cliff with a creaking sound.

"What does it mean to hit a rock?" Gu Lin said.

"Obviously it wants to tell us something?" Lin Qiao said.

DouDou acted as an interpreter and said, "It told us to take the stone away."

"Why did you take the stone away?" Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao stared intently at the straight up and down cliffs. The stone was on the protruding cliff with few vegetation around it. The color was different from the surrounding gray and black cliffs. It was brownish black. Apart from the color, the surface also The stone was different. Seeing that Kong Kong was still taking photos, she thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's not a stone, but maybe it's Xuelingzhi, which is a kind of precious medicinal material." "

What is Xuelingzhi?" Gu Lin asked.

"It's also called the Monkey Classic. It's formed by female monkeys discharging their menstrual blood at the same place all year round. There may also be a placenta in it, which can promote blood circulation and stop bleeding, dispel stasis and relieve pain. It is also often used to treat infertility." Lin Qiao said.

Knowing that his daughter-in-law loves picking Chinese herbal medicine, Gu Lin took a look at the "rock" and said, "I'll pry it off and take it back." As soon as the words fell, Gu Lin had already put the basket on the ground and walked towards the edge of the cliff, seeing nothing

. He went over, climbed down from the tree, let the tree out, let Gu Lin climb up, and climbed up again along the nearby vines.

Gu Lin moved very nimbly, climbed to the level with the stone, and shoveled the "stone" down with a short shovel. When the stone hit the ground, Kong Kong also slid down from the vine, squeaking and ran to the stone excitedly. beside.

"It's quite heavy, about thirty catties." Gu Lin hugged the "stone".

Lin Qiao knelt down, observed the stone carefully, sniffed it closely, and said excitedly: "It's really Xue Lingzhi, this one is considered big, it should have been exposed to wind and rain for many years, it is said that the monkeys moved I will take the blood spirit away, Kongkong is too spiritual, this is the Chinese medicinal material it gave us, if sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, it can sell a lot of money, I will not sell it, and keep it for people to treat diseases." Gu

Lin Infected by her excitement, he said: "Take it back."

He quickly poured the lychees out of the basket and brought Xue Lingzhi in.

Doudou asked: "Kongkong, don't you want to find your mother?"

There are no monkeys nearby, but there are monkey hairs, which means that there are monkeys infested. After taking things from the monkey group, Gu Lin didn't want to stay for a second, so he picked up the basket again , immediately picked up the sickle to open the way, and walked down the mountain with his wife and children. Along the way, Gu Lin said: "Macaques live in groups. Male monkeys will be driven out of the group when they grow up. Kong Kong is a male monkey. It may not want to find Mom, I don’t want to look for monkeys either, why don’t we take him back first?”

Doudou cheered, fearing that his father would change his mind, he hurriedly said, “Okay, anyway, it doesn’t want to go, so let’s take Kong Kong back and keep it Let's go."

Kongkong followed the three of them back home, Doudou was happy, he didn't feel too heavy, and kept holding Kongkong.

Back home, Lin Qiao put the blood spirit oil into a large snakeskin bag and put it in the storage room.

Dinner is rice noodles. The local rice noodles are made with rice and sweet potatoes. Lin Qiao added chicken feathers, shrimp and squid rings, sprinkled peanuts, and added a poached egg for each person. It was a smooth and refreshing seafood noodle.

After dinner, Gu Lin made a bamboo bed for Kong Kong, and wanted Kong Kong to have a fixed place to sleep. "

Lin Qiao changed a pair of Gu Lin's old military trousers. The selected fabric was used to make clothes for Kong Kong, and the completely torn fabric was used to make a cushion. Doudou was the happiest. He went into the house to watch his mother make clothes, and ran to the yard to

watch Dad made the bed.

The two of them put clothes on Kong Kong, Kong Kong was very satisfied with his clothes, jumped up and down happily, and clapped his little hands: "Kong Kong, you will be a member of our family from now on. "

——Time

flies, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Lin came back from the camp at noon and brought back ten catties of rice, a bucket of rapeseed oil, five catties of pork and a pair of pork belly, he said : "The teacher came to the island to condolences, and brought grain, oil and pork. These are my New Year benefits. "

Lin Qiao said: "Recently, I've been eating seafood for a change of taste. The pork belly is used to make coconut pork belly chicken, which is eaten at night. The pork is marinated with salt first. "

Gu Lin said again: "My grandfather came with the teacher. He was going to come to the house for dinner. I didn't know that he would come too. Today I arranged a landing boat to pick up the teacher, and I didn't know that he was coming too.

Pointing to the two boxes of dim sum, he said, "This is the dim sum box that grandpa brought around from the capital. I heard that the locals line up to buy it during the Chinese New Year. "

" Doudou. " Lin Qiao greeted the eldest son.

When DouDou ran over, Gu Lin had already untied the paper string, lifted the lid of the box, and DouDou exclaimed: "There are so many kinds of snacks. "

There are all kinds of dim sum, including starter buns, snowflake crisps, walnut steaks, hawthorn pot helmets, etc., each of which is two pieces, looking very delicate and delicious.

Gu Lin squatted down and said: "Look at how kind your grandfather is to you, Such snacks are not easy to buy. "

"Which one is the tastiest?" Doudou asked.

Lin Qiao picked up a piece of snowflake cake and said, "Try this."

Doudou immediately stretched out his small hand to pick up the snowflake cake, handed it to Lin Qiao and said, "Mom, this is for you."

Lin Qiao took a small bite, then Let go around to eat again.

"Why don't you let me eat?" Gu Lin asked the eldest son.

Doudou's little hand immediately raised up, Gu Lin also took a bite, snorted and said, "Your mother should treat you better."

Lin Qiao asked, "Grandpa is over seventy years old, isn't he in the capital? Why is he so old all of a sudden? Coming to the island far away? I didn’t tell you in advance.”

Gu Lin said: “Maybe he wants to see my work situation, and come to see you and Doudou by the way.”

Seeing his daughter-in-law’s slightly nervous expression, Gu Lin immediately said: “ Why are you nervous, Grandpa must like you very much."

Lin Qiao said, "That's not necessarily true, I'm worried that he will dislike me." "

No." Gu Lin said with certainty, "If he dislikes you Cheng Xing would not have agreed to my marriage with you at that time."

Lin Qiao thought that was indeed the case.

"Then does grandpa stay at home at night? I'll clean up the room." Lin Qiao asked.

"No, the army will arrange reception." Gu Lin said.

Lin Qiao thought for a while and then said, "If grandpa comes to the house, should my dad also come? The difference in status between the two is too great. I'm worried that both of them will be embarrassed." She thought that if Lin Peiyuan was still in the research institute and didn't exercise, she

would Dad will definitely become a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the field of architecture.

Gu Lin said: "You don't have to think too much about asking Dad to finish the meal, and you don't have to have any pressure. It's just a family meal. At worst, everyone eats quietly, and it will be over in 20 minutes." "Okay, then after

lunch I'll go and talk to my dad." Lin Qiao said.

Lin Qiao asked grandpa's taste again, and Gu Lin said, "Grandpa's taste is nothing special, you can eat whatever you have at home."

The two discussed the evening meal, and Lin Qiao said, "There is an East Star Spot raised in sea water in the wooden basin. , just steamed, add coconut pork belly chicken, braised pork is a dish that most people like to eat, and then make some vegetables and soup."

Gu Lin nodded and said: "It's very good, very rich."

Lunch is simple, Millet Sweet Potato Rice, Fresh Shrimp Soup, and Stir-fried Chicken Feather Vegetables. When eating, Lin Qiao cooked the braised pork so that he would not have to spare the cooking stove for other dishes at night.

Today's temperature is more than 20 degrees, and the meat and vegetables will not spoil if left for half a day.

After lunch, Gu Lin grabbed a rooster from the chicken coop and cleaned it up. Lin Qiao went to find Lin Peiyuan.

Han Wenwu knew that Lin Qiao must have something to do when he came at this time, so he went out and let the father and daughter talk.

Lin Qiao closed the door and said, "Dad, Grandpa Gu Lin has come to the island. His grandfather is General Gu Changting. The teacher came to the island to condolences. Grandpa came with him." Sure enough, Lin Peiyuan didn't know that Grandpa Gu Lin was Gu Changting

. He has been on the island for so long, and no one around him has said it, so he has no way of understanding it.

Gu Changting is a well-known figure in Qingcheng, and he is also the pride of Qingcheng people. Not to mention that Lin Peiyuan knows him, even a three-year-old child has heard of him.

Lin Peiyuan was very surprised: "Gu Changting was a general who was awarded the rank when the country was founded. I never thought that Gu Lin would have such a family background. His family has been in the army for three generations. How could a family like theirs be willing to marry our family? Before the movement, his family might not be willing to marry a capitalist family like the Lin family, not to mention that after the movement, you encountered a lot of resistance when you got married, did his family agree?" Originally, he thought his daughter and son-in-law were very affectionate, but

suddenly The daughter's marriage is full of worries, and she is also worried that the daughter will not be recognized by the Gu family.

Lin Qiao briefly talked about the things before and after the marriage, and said: "Gu Rin resolved all these difficulties one by one. At that time, his family members agreed to our marriage. If his family wanted to stop me, I would not be able to pass the political review at all. .”

Lin Peiyuan let out a long breath, and said, "Lin Qiao, you must cherish, cherish the kindness that Gu Lin treats you, and you have to pay for it, don't take it for granted that Gu Lin treats you well, and manage your marriage with your heart, it's best Pay more attention to Gu Lin and his family." Lin Qiao said in a relaxed tone, "Dad, it's tiring to think too much about marriage, and Gu Lin and I don't think so much. As long as we are determined, let the flow go. Naturally." Lin Peiyuan said: "I haven't fully understood the marriage between me and your mother, and I can't give you constructive advice, you should follow your own ideas." Gu Lin undoubtedly likes his daughter, he I think my daughter also likes Gu Lin. Lin Qiao also talked about having dinner together at night, "It's a meal with the family." Of course Lin Peiyuan had concerns, but he still agreed. When Gu Lin went to work, he took a few detours. Before he reached the dormitory next to the guest house, he met Lin Peiyuan who was going to the construction site. Gu Lin invited his father-in-law to have dinner at night. "Go right after work." Lin Peiyuan said, he knew that Gu Lin made a detour. He couldn't help feeling that Gu Lin, despite being a mighty and resolute man, had a delicate mind. ——In the afternoon, without telling Gu Lin, Gu Changting went to the medical clinic alone to see Lin Qiao and Doudou. There is a palm tree in the courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences in the medical office. A child is sitting in the shade under the tree and reading a book. A monkey climbs up and down on the trunk of the palm tree. The child was very absorbed in watching. He sat on the stone, a small ball, and did not raise his head when he heard the footsteps, and the surroundings were very quiet. Gu Changting looked at the child, walked over, squatted down, and saw that the child was reading military books. "Do you know how to read?" Gu Changting asked. "I know." DouDou raised his head, looked at the old man in front of him and said. Gu Changting saw that the child's eyes were narrow and long, black and bright, and his appearance and expression were somewhat similar to Gu Lin's.

"Then read a passage to me." Gu Changting said.

The military book was read so cutely by the child, Gu Changting felt his heart was about to melt, and when he finished reading, he asked again: "Do you understand?

" Remember, my mother said that reading a hundred times will reveal its meaning."

This little guy who reads military books is so cute.

Let alone adopting one such child, he would be willing to adopt ten or eight.

"Doudou, I'm great-grandfather." Gu Changting said.

"Ah!" The child stood up, his eyes sparkling, he leaned forward, stretched out his arms to hug Gu Changting, and called affectionately, "Grandpa, I'm DouDou, Gu Jinzhou.

" Among the great-grandchildren, great-grandfather dotes on him the most. Although he doesn't remember these things, Doudou knows that great-grandfather is the closest person.

Gu Changting hugged Doudou, the child was too close to him, even closer than other great-grandchildren, his limp body was thrown into his arms, and he was reluctant to let go.

Hearing the name Gu Jinzhou, Gu Changting felt mixed emotions. In a trance, he felt that Doudou was his great-grandson.

Kong Kong poked his head to watch the movement under the tree, it could tell everyone who was close to the little master, climbed down from the tree, and brought Gu Changting a horse tie.

"This is your monkey, it's really sensible." Gu Changting said, he sat on the saddle and talked with his pocket.

"Yes, it's my friend, it's called Kongkong." DouDou said.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Changting said: "I still want to see your mother, she is here." Doudou nodded: "

Yes, but there is a patient in the room, today is Monday, and the other doctor is off today, so I will take care of you." My mother is here, and I'll take you there when the patient comes out."

The little guy bragged about his mother, saying that Lin Qiao would treat patients, go to the mountains to collect herbs, make summer drinks for soldiers, and mend clothes for soldiers.

"My mother is the most popular on the island." Doudou said.

Gu Changting said in his heart that this little guy is too smart, he nodded: "Grandpa believes what you say." After the

patient left, Lin Qiao went out of the room to scoop up water from the water tank to wash his hands, only then did he see DouDou sitting on the On the lap of the old man, the two looked intimate.

"Mom, this is my great-grandpa." Doudou introduced.

"Grandpa." Lin Qiao called out.

Gu Changting said: "You wash your hands, I'm fine, just come and see DouDou."

Lin Qiao saw that although his grandfather was in a sitting position, with a baby dumpling in his arms, he was still straight and full of energy, The eyes are piercing, long and narrow, but they are in the same line as Gu Lin and Doudou.

Seemingly inadvertently, Gu Changting also looked at Lin Qiao all over, only thinking that she was generous, confident and elegant, with outstanding appearance and temperament.

I can understand that Gu Linfei didn't marry her back then.

Lin Qiao washed his hands and said, "It's time to get off work. Grandpa, let's go home."

Gu Changting stood up with his arms in his arms and said, "Let's go."

Lin Qiao locked the door, caught up with the grandpa and grandson, and said: "Come down, let him be hugged when he grows up."

"It's okay, I'll hug him for a while." Gu Changting said.

As soon as she put on her apron in the kitchen, Gu Lin entered the yard, greeted her grandfather, and said to the two of them, "I'm going to the old man's dormitory on the way after work. He hasn't come back from the construction site yet." Lin Qiao thought her father would come

later That's good, save me having no common topics with grandpa.

Gu Lin fished out Dong Xingban from the bucket, and originally wanted to deal with the fish, but Gu Changting said, "Gu Lin, come here, I have a few words to ask you." Gu Lin glanced at Lin Qiao, feeling puzzled

. The camp was fine, but it became more serious when he came to the house.

It must have nothing to do with work. Work matters are discussed in the office.

Seeing the doubt in Gu Lin's eyes, Lin Qiao was also puzzled, why should I ask him alone!

Gu Changting is a smart person, he can see that the couple are not living together, and he can probably guess what they are thinking, so he called them both into the living room, sat on a chair, and said calmly: "You two Live a good life, I can see that you are doing well, I think Lin Qiao is good, I am very satisfied with her, and Lin Qiao's father and family, you don't have to worry about me having bad thoughts, since we are married, we two The family members will naturally communicate normally like ordinary in-laws, and I will also tell them not to have prejudices with Gu Lin's parents."

Lin Qiao was a little moved, and a person with Gu Changting's identity didn't need to talk about scenes at all, and he himself With an upright and tough personality, he must speak from the bottom of his heart.

She was relieved that Gu Changting could say that.

No matter how much she said, Lin Qiao just said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Gu Changting emphasized, "Gu Lin, you must treat your wife well."

Gu Lin was obviously relieved: "Grandpa, I know this. "

Grandpa was noncommittal, and said: "Don't rush to answer, I want to ask you a question first."

Then Gu Lin felt relieved and let Lin Qiao cook first.

Grandpa sat on the chair calmly, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said in a stern and majestic voice, "Gu Lin, let me ask you, who is your son Gu Jinzhou? You have always insisted that you can't marry that woman if you don't get married. When we were together, I rushed to find Lin Qiao to bring you a son, didn't I? It's rare that she doesn't mind, but do you think you are worthy of her? I have always taught you to be upright and upright. How can you fool me with such a big matter? !"

Gu Lin: "...Grandpa, Doudou is really not my son. I have never had a son with any woman. As for me marrying Lin Qiao, it's because I fell in love with her." Gu Changting's face was tense:

" Nonsense! Doudou looks so much like you, and his name is Gu Jinzhou, I don't even believe that he is not your son."

"Grandpa, when we found Doudou at the gate of the compound, he said his name was Gu Jinzhou. It's such a coincidence." Gu Lin felt unable to argue.

Gu Changting waved his hand: "I'm tired of hearing your rhetoric."

Gu Lin straightened his back, "Grandpa, even if you don't believe me, Lin Qiao absolutely trusts me. If you don't believe me, call her in and ask her." Gu Changting

: I am criticizing and educating you here, you have to call your daughter-in-law in to fool me with you!

"Okay, you go and call her," he said.

When Gu Lin walked to the kitchen, Lin Qiao had already packed Dong Xingban and steamed it with rice, "Grandpa called you." Gu Lin said.

"Why did you call me again? What did Grandpa talk to you about?" Lin Qiao looked at Gu Lin's aggrieved expression.

"Go into the room and talk." Gu Lin said.

The two walked into the living room, Gu Rin briefly told Lin Qiao about his grandfather's doubts, and the latter listened and said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's not that Gu Rin had a life with someone else, if he says no, he won't, I believe him."

Gu Changting's expression softened, he believed in Gu Lin's character, only this matter was different, but since his grandson's wife believed in his grandson so firmly, then he also chose to believe it.

"Okay, Gu Lin, let me believe that Doudou was not born by you." Gu Changting relaxed.

"Father, mother, grandpa," DouDou ran in from the door, beads of sweat still on his forehead. He heard his great-grandfather's last words, saying that he was not born by his father.

Xiaotuanzi walked in and hugged Gu Lin's thigh: "This is my father, and I am my father's child."

He went to grab Lin Qiao's hand again: "This is my mother, I was born by my mother, and I am born to my parents." Yes."

Looking at the family of three in front of him, Gu Changting realized that Doudou not only resembled Gu Lin, but also resembled Lin Qiao.

He seemed to understand something!

"Come to Grandpa." He waved towards DouDou.

Doudou let go of Lin Qiao's hand and walked to Gu Changting's side with his calves. The old man hugged him on his lap and looked at the child carefully.

His eyebrows and eyes are square, and he is very handsome, but he is a little thin. The cute appearance of the little guy sitting affectionately on his lap and calling him grandpa made his heart soften so badly.

"Okay, as long as the two of you are willing." Gu Changting circled his arms around, not planning to mind this matter anymore.

Gu Lin glanced at Lin Qiao, saw her pursed her lips and smiled silently, Gu Lin turned her head to Gu Changting: "No, Grandpa, you misunderstood again, Lin Qiao and I didn't have Dou Dou. If I met a few years ago When it comes to Lin Qiao, I will marry her first, and I will definitely not let her get pregnant first, I am reluctant."

Hearing his last few words, the smile on Lin Qiao's face grew stronger.

"I was born by you." Doudou insisted in a childish voice.

Gu Changting obviously believed in his own judgment more, he waved his hand and said, "Cook quickly, there is no need to explain."

Gu Lin felt that he was really powerless in front of his grandpa, so he turned to Lin Qiao, stretched out his arm and copied from the other's back. Going over, he took her arm lightly and said, "Let's cook."

Seeing the two walking into the yard, Gu Changting took out a large handful of toffee and chocolate from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into the small pocket of his pocket. "Grandpa will give you candy."

Doudou's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly, "That's great, my mother is afraid that my teeth will be decayed, but she is too stingy, and only gives one piece at a time." Suddenly, he

felt very rich.

Chapter 29

"Children eat sugar to grow up, hide it and eat it secretly." Gu Changting came up with an idea.

Doudou's jacket pocket was full of candies, and he held two candies in his little hand. After peeling for a long time with his delicate little fingers, he finally peeled off the candies, gave one to his grandfather and one to himself.

"Are your parents treating you well?" Gu Changting felt that this was very important.

"They treated me very well." Doudou said sweetly.

"If they treat you badly, tell your great-grandfather, and your great-grandfather will reprimand them."

He has always been very strict with his children and grandchildren, but the great-grandson is different. The great-grandson is used to spoil him.

"I like great-grandfather the most." DouDou put his arms around Gu Changting's neck and said affectionately.

"Doudou is my favorite." Gu Changting said kindly.

Probably he is the only one who believes that Doudou is his great-grandson who is related by blood, and that Gu Lin and Lin Qiao are his biological parents.

The two returned to the kitchen, Lin Qiao cut the pork belly, Gu Lin opened two coconuts, poured out the coconut juice, scraped off the shredded coconut and squeezed the coconut milk, Gu Lin said while working: "Grandpa now misunderstands that going around is our birth." It's over."

Lin Qiao didn't care at all: "If you misunderstand, let's misunderstand, anyway, we came here to treat Doudou as our own."

Gu Lin said: "If I met you a few years ago, can I stay single?"

" I would definitely be a bachelor, and I hadn't graduated from college at that time." Lin Qiao said with a smile.

Gu Lin also laughed: "That's right, you have to wait until you met me a few years ago."

He was really elated, that is to say, if he met a few years ago, his wife would also be willing to marry her.

Coconut pork belly chicken was gurgling and boiling in the pot, Lin Peiyuan just came, Gu Lin entered the living room with the father-in-law, and introduced them to both parties.

Gu Lin thought that the two of them had nothing to talk about, so they couldn't sit still. They wanted to take the lead in chatting about some household chores, but unexpectedly, grandpa mentioned digging tunnels first. Lin Peiyuan knew exactly where the tunnels would be located, where water would seep, and where rocks would be dug out. Chu.

Mentioning pneumoconiosis again, Gu Changting said: "When digging caves and tunnels, we must pay more attention to pneumoconiosis. Soldiers must carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship and death, but they are still young, and it is not easy for their parents to drag them. They have not married yet, and they will be the pillars of the family after they are demobilized. I don’t want to see them suffer from serious illnesses that cannot be cured because of the construction.”

Lin Peiyuan talked about various methods to reduce dust during construction. When it comes to this aspect, it is mentioned in the construction plan."

Gu Changting nodded while listening.

"No one in the shipyard project got pneumoconiosis." Gu Lin felt that the father-in-law contributed a lot, and his tone was very proud.

"In the future, we must pay more attention to the construction of combat readiness bases. The dust will be more severe. We must ensure the health of soldiers." Gu Changting said.

In fact, as early as his grandson and daughter-in-law got married, Gu Changting found a book published by Lin Peiyuan to read, and knew that his main focus was on ancient architecture. He did not expect that he, an architect, would have a lot of experience in asking him.

Not only that, when it comes to any topic, Lin Peiyuan has profound insights that are stronger than ordinary people. He is worthy of being an expert and scholar, and his reputation is by no means in vain.

It seems that Gu Lin didn't bring her father-in-law to the island out of selfishness.

He believed in Gu Lin and knew that his grandson was safe and reliable, so he could rest assured.

Seeing Gu Lin coming to the kitchen again, Lin Qiao said, "You don't need to help me, you should go and accompany them." Gu Lin said, "

I'm still worried that they can't talk well, the two of them had a lively chat, so I don't need to find something to talk about. "

"What are they talking about?" Lin Qiao asked.

"Mainly talk about engineering." Lin Peiyuan said.

"Does grandpa want to know my dad's professional ability? Then my dad is facing the assessment of the leader." Lin Qiao asked.

Gu Linxin said that his daughter-in-law is really extraordinary, she can even guess this, and she can't fool her at all, he said: "Maybe, he has seen the drawings and materials of the project that your father is in charge of, so he didn't talk about it." These, other things to talk about, my dad's answers are smooth, seeing that our dad has strong professional skills, he can rest assured." "

That's good. You'd better go and accompany me, I'll heat up the braised pork again, and the dishes will be ready in a while .” Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin then went back to the living room.

Lin Qiao was busy in the kitchen. Two children from the next door climbed up the ladder and poked their heads over. They saw Doudou at the kitchen door and called him, "Doudou, do you want to go to the movies later? It's in the elementary school playground, very close.

" Surprise: "Go, I haven't seen a movie, what kind of movie, I have dinner at home, I have to go later." "I heard it

is "Heroic Tanker", the movie is good to hear the name, let's go early, take an extra bench , let me reserve a seat for you." Jin Dou said.

"Okay, Miss Jindou, I'll go find you guys after dinner." DouDou said.

Dinner consisted of six dishes and one soup. Gu Changting tasted a piece of braised pork, which was bright red in color, soft and not greasy, and said, "I didn't expect Lin Qiao to be so good at cooking." Like Gu Lin, he also thought

Lin Qiao People from such families do not know how to cook and do housework.

Gu Lin's tone was very proud: "Lin Qiao can do everything, cooking and making clothes is much better than ordinary people."

Gu Changting praised: "It can be seen that the Lin family's family style and tutoring are good

. " Lin Peiyuan felt very relieved to affirm the Lin family.

Lin Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief, saying it was for dinner, but Lin Peiyuan was undergoing an assessment, and now that the leader gave a positive evaluation, it was considered a pass.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for the compliment." Lin Qiao said.

After dinner, Lin Peiyuan wanted to go back to the dormitory. Lin Qiao said, "Dad, you can also go to the movies."

After all, watching movies is also an education, and there are no sports on the island.

Lin Peiyuan had no interest in this kind of movies, so Lin Qiao didn't keep him.

Gu Lin took two mazas and didn't want to go to the movies at first, but it was the first time on the island to watch a movie. I don't know what's going on at the scene, so I'd better go there.

After leaving the camp, they walked in the direction of the primary school, which was newly built, a very solid stone house with walls and a spacious playground.

There is no middle school on the island, and a few sporadic students who have been admitted to junior high school and high school all go to study outside the island, and they all live in school. Some only go home during winter and summer vacations in order to save money on ferry tickets.

From a distance, they could hear lively voices on the playground.

The movie is about to start, and the soldiers are already seated in the far left row. The family members are in the middle, and the islanders are on the right. Unlike the soldiers who are sitting upright and looking straight ahead, the islanders are talking lively. There are soldiers here. There are no trees on the wall, and they are all concentrated on the right side.

There are also young girls on the island who have the courage to look at the soldiers, but the soldiers dare not look back. They have a rule that they must never fall in love in the station, even if they want to, they don't have the courage.

The light from the projector had hit the screen, and Doudou sat in the middle with a group of children.

Originally, I thought I could have a relaxing and reunion Spring Festival, but Gu Lin is extremely busy and usually comes back for dinner on time, but now I often don’t come back for dinner, even if I come back, I leave after dinner, even Gu Changting is the same.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the construction site of the shipyard was suspended. Lin Qiao called Lin Peiyuan over for lunch. After lunch, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he had prepared earlier and asked him to write Spring Festival couplets.

While writing, Lin Qiao boiled the paste and began to paste Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters. The courtyard was filled with red and festive.

Lin Qiao went to Han Wenwu's place and brought him fried goods, including fried tenderloin, radish balls, tofu balls, and fried octopus.

"So much, sister, thank you for thinking of me, I can eat these for several days." Han Wenwu took all the things and said very moved.

Lin Qiao said: "Our old man is here, so we won't ask you to go over for dinner during the Chinese New Year. After the old man is gone, you can go over to have a meal with my dad." "

Okay, sister, your family is very kind to me." Han Wenwu said.

The moment the two handed over the net bag, Lin Qiao noticed that Han Wenwu's hands were beautiful, with slender fingers and delicate knuckles. The skin on the back of the hand was delicate, and there was no callus on the fingertips.

It's obviously the hands that have done farm work, but they don't even have calluses!

When she came back, she started kneading noodles, chopping stuffing and making dumplings. Lin Peiyuan started to make lanterns for Doudou out of bamboo strips and red paper.

The little guy played with throwing cannons for a while, while watching his grandfather making lanterns, he waited anxiously for his father to come back. In the evening, when Gu Lin and Gu Changting came back from the camp, Lin Qiao had already made the dumplings and vegetables.

"Grandpa, Mom said that you will only stay on the island for a few days, and she must let you eat seafood in a different way. She was worried that you might not be used to it, so she even made fried meat and light dishes." Doudou said.

"Your mother is really hardworking." Gu Changting said while stroking the top of Doudou's hair.

Lin Linqiao made steamed tiger spot, stewed abalone and sea cucumber, braised meat, fried mushrooms with shrimp, fried bamboo shoots with shredded pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, tofu meatball and radish soup, and glutinous rice balls.

Gu Changting and Lin Peiyuan won't come over tomorrow. After dinner, before leaving, they all gave some lucky money. Great-grandpa was the most proud, and he gave one hundred yuan. Grandpa had no money, so he gave five yuan and a big lantern. , Mom and Dad gave one piece.

As soon as the elder left, DouDou immediately gave Lin Qiao a huge sum of money like a treasure offering: "Mom, I'll give you all the money."

Lin Qiao knelt down and asked, "Give mom so much money, doesn't DouDou want to use the lucky money to buy snacks? "

Give this money to mom. Mom can buy beautiful dresses and creams. My money is mom's money. When I grow up, I will earn a lot of money for you to spend." Gu Lin watched from the

side , said sourly: "Why don't you earn money to spend for your dad?"

Doudou said: "You also have to earn money for my mother."

Gu Lin nodded: "What the eldest son said is really reasonable. The money I earn belongs to your mother, and I belong to your mother too."

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Go to the camp quickly, you will make me happy."

She took I took a dollar and put it in Doudou's pocket, and said, "I'll press the pocket for you, so you don't lose it." "

Okay, Mom." Doudou patted the pocket and said.

When Gu Changting was about to leave the island in the third day of junior high school, Gu Lin came back with a camera and took a family portrait for his family.

"I'll be relieved once I come to the island. In the future, Gu Lin will work hard and your family will live a good life. The journey is far away, so I probably won't come here in the future." Gu Changting said with some reluctance.

He bent down, picked up DouDou, stretched his arms high and said, "I really want to take DouDou back to the capital. I don't know when my great-grandfather will see my great-grandson.

" I will miss my great-grandfather."

It's strange, obviously there are other great-grandchildren, but he likes to go around the most.

"Grandpa, the bag is very heavy now, don't be shy, come, come to Dad." Gu Lin said, he took the bag and hugged it in his arms and said: "I will often write to you."

Gu Changting said: "You are fooling me. You said the same thing before. I have only received two or three letters from you."

Gu Lin said: "Then Lin Qiao will write to you."

Lin Qiao said with a smile "Grandpa, I will write to you often with Gu Lin."

Gu Changting nodded in satisfaction, "It's not too bad."

Lin Qiao prepared a large luggage bag full of island specialties for Grandpa to take away, so go back Give points to relatives and friends, especially Gu Lin's big brother and big sister.

The family sent Gu Changting to the pier and watched him set off on the landing craft. Doudou could not help waving: "Grandpa, Doudou will also write to you.

" Turned into a small black dot, never to be seen again.

——After

dinner that day, Lin Qiao brought some dried guava and jackfruit to Lin Peiyuan. Seeing that the door next door was locked, she asked, "Is Han Wenwu here?

" , I’ll save food for him.” Lin Peiyuan said.

Lin Qiao took the opportunity to ask, "Dad, how is Han Wenwu's relationship with you?"

Lin Peiyuan only cared about himself as a daughter, and said, "This young man is really nice. I just gave his father a hand to pay for his father's medicine. Thank you."

I didn't want to talk about the manuscript at first, but in order to prove that Han Wenwu is a good person, Lin Peiyuan also said that Han Wenwu helped him get the manuscript back.

"He has always taken care of me, treating me as an elder and a master." Lin Peiyuan said.

It can be seen that he is indeed very satisfied with the other party.

Lin Qiao couldn't ask anything from Lin Peiyuan. In terms of ability to know people, Lin Peiyuan must be stronger. Maybe he is a fan of the authorities. Lin Qiao said, "He is really nice. I don't worry if he takes care of you. Give half of it to him, and I'll bring it to you when I'm done eating."

Although Lin Peiyuan gave her an affirmative answer, she still had a small question in her heart, so she still wanted to tell Gu Lin.

Before going to bed, she told Gu Lin about her doubts. The other party had deep eyebrows and looked at her wife intently: "..."

Lin Qiao shook his hand and said, "People who do farm work will definitely grow calluses. Look at yours." Hands, tiger mouth and index finger have thicker calluses. Since Han Wenwu used to go to school and help the family with work, his fingers are slender and beautiful, and there is no callus at all." Gu Lin recalled

Han Wenwu's words and deeds, and asked: "Is he still Is there anything else that you think is wrong?"

Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, "No."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Gu Lin was relieved, which means that Han Wenwu has nothing to do. room for improvement.

Who is Han Wenwu? Anti-special personnel.

The importance of Qiongya Island and combat readiness island is self-evident, and it is necessary to arrange anti-special personnel.

Everyone will definitely think that he is so selfish, and the old man is brought to the island under the pretext that the island needs construction experts. In fact, the more important person is not Lin Peiyuan, but Han Wenwu.

The identity of the two of them is a good cover for Han Wenwu.

Han Wenwu took the opportunity to go to the island with Lin Peiyuan. This kind of personnel arrangement is impeccable.

His daughter-in-law had her eyes on the most important person on the island.

Thinking back carefully, Han Wenwu's words, deeds, and deeds were flawless.

As for what Lin Qiao said about her hands being too good-looking, it's easy to solve.

He said in a relaxed tone: "He has been out of productive labor for many years, and it's normal that his hands don't have calluses."

Gu Lin felt that he must have underestimated Lin Qiao. He was confused by her beautiful and weak appearance before, and he thought Lin Qiao She doesn't understand the dangers of the world, but she is actually very smart and has a strong ability to recognize people.

He hoped that Lin Qiao would not pay attention to these things at all.

Gu Lin put his long arms around Lin Qiao's shoulders: "I know better than you what kind of person on our island is. If there is a strange person next to my father-in-law, I can't see it? You don't have to worry, Han Wenwu is in private Li is respectful and humble to your father, although he is monitoring your father, he has been taking care of your father so that he will suffer as little as possible, and he will not have any problems." Lin Qiao trusts him 100%, he is right, and

those who have problems must It was Gu Lin who discovered it earlier than him, so she felt relieved and said: "Maybe I put him on the opposite side of my dad, and if I care about it, it will be messy. I think too much. I really shouldn't speculate about him like this. I will wait for the time to come." Send him some dried seafood."

"In the future, if you think anyone on the island is strange, don't tell others, tell me." Gu Lin told her.

Lin Qiao nodded and assured, "When I chat with people, I listen more and talk less. I don't spread gossip, don't talk about other people's affairs, and rarely express my opinions."

Although Gu Lin didn't say anything, she could understand what he meant. The withdrawal of the blue army, the withdrawal of the Japanese army, and the US imperialism would leave a lot of secret agent popularity, maybe they would be lurking somewhere.

Gu Lin was very satisfied with her answer, and said, "My wife is smart."

——After

the shipyard was built, Lin Peiyuan and Han Wenwu were transferred to the War Preparation Island with the engineers. No one knew where they went. For the islanders, They just finished the project and transferred away.

After dinner, Gu Lin told Lin Qiao a news: "Your elder brother is coming to the island, bring Xiao Shu with him, and work as an engineer in the shipyard." The first thing

Lin Huaixuan did after returning to China was to divorce Huang Meiqin. It has been broken.

"Did you ask him to come?" Lin Qiao said in surprise.

Gu Lin said: "The shipyard is a military factory, but I can't manage the affairs of the shipyard. Their factory director and Zhou Xiaodu's father arranged him here together. He will be safe when he comes to the island." Lin

Qiao Very excited: "I am worried that my eldest brother will be affected by the movement. Of course it is a good thing to be able to come to the island. The factory manager has always valued his eldest brother. The child we rescued at the train station is the grandson of the factory director. Zhou Xiaodu's father is the chief engineer and also my eldest brother. Master, they are helping my elder brother."

Before she came to the island, Zhou's father was always worried that he would not be able to protect himself, and it was already a deep affection for Lin Huaixuan to arrange this way for Lin Huaixuan.

She thought for a while and said, "It's because they considered that you and I are on the island, so they arranged for the elder brother to come here."

Gu Lin nodded: "It should be like this. I see you are very happy. You and your elder brother have a good relationship."

"Yeah." Lin Qiao nodded, "The relationship between the three of us is very good. When I was in elementary school, my elder brother was in high school. He would always ride a bicycle to pick me up and drop me off from school. Our classmates envied me." She thought for a while and

then Said: "You have provided me with shelter, I don't want to affect you because of my family's affairs, I don't want you to consume your personal connections, and I don't want to consume the organization's trust in you."

Gu Lin stretched out his index finger and patted the tip of her nose affectionately: "Don't think too much about it, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Brother's itinerary is confirmed?" Lin Qiao asked.

"When the big boat comes next Sunday, he will go to the island with the boat."

——At

first he wanted to find other children to play with, but he insisted on going to the pier with Lin Qiao to wait for Xiaoshu, so the mother and daughter wore straw hats to shade the sun and went to the pier Wait for Lin Huaixuan and Xiaoshu.

"Mom, Xiaoshu will stay on the island from now on, won't you leave?" Doudou asked expectantly.

"Yes, he's not leaving."

"Great, there's one more person to play with me." Doudou was very excited.

Lin Qiao was very excited. After more than two years, she finally saw her eldest brother again. Before the sports, she went abroad. Although she was sent abroad, she and Xu Manzhi were worried that Lin Huaixuan would also be sent down. Now that he is on the island, he will be safe. . This time I only waited for half an hour. When the big boat approached the shore, DouDou had very good eyesight. He

pointed his little hand forward and said happily, "Mom, little tree, little tree."

On deck, he raised his arms and waved at them.

Lin Huaixuan should have lived a good life in the past two years, his clothes are clean and tidy, and he is still as young and in full bloom as before.

The other party obviously saw her, hugged Xiaoshu with one hand, and raised the other arm to wave to them.

"Little tree."

"Doudou."

When the two got ashore, DouDou immediately ran over, and the two children hugged each other excitedly.

"Brother, are you okay these days?" Lin Qiao asked.

"It's not bad. This is your adopted child. Mom said she looks like you and your brother-in-law. It's true." Lin Huaixuan looked at his sister and nephew.

The younger sister is still very fair, the sea breeze and scorching sun did not make her skin darken, she has a smile on her face, and she seems to be doing well.

"Uncle." DouDou called out.

"So good." Lin Huaixuan held two large suitcases in one hand, and stretched out the other arm to touch Doudou's small head.

They walked forward, away from the pier, Lin Qiao picked up Xiao Shu, weighed his weight the same as when she was walking, and said, "Why is Xiao Shu so thin, his eyes are big, and his chin is sharp, when I left Still chubby."

Lin Huaixuan said: "Children will naturally lose weight when they grow up."

Xiao Shu kissed Lin Qiao on the cheek: "I think it's just my aunt who lost weight. I've wanted to see you for a long time. Grandma said it was too far away."

Lin Qiao kissed his little cheek back, and said, "My aunt also misses Xiaoshu, and Xiaoshu will play with Doudou on the island from now on, and Auntie will give you a lot of delicious food. I'm getting fat."

When Lin Qiao put Xiao Shu down, Doudou couldn't wait to hold his hand: "Let's go, Xiao Shu, go back to my house first."

Seeing that there was another female comrade following them step by step, Lin Qiao turned around and asked : "Comrade, are you here to visit relatives?" Chapter 30

"This lesbian is here to join her sister and brother-in-law. She said that her brother-in-law is an officer guarding the island. We met at the pier. She couldn't buy a boat ticket without a letter of introduction. I said she was my sister. With my status as an engineer, I can say whatever I want. That’s why I bought a ticket for her.” Lin Huaixuan introduced.

The lesbian has two bundles on her arms, and wears the most common white jacket, blue pants, and black cloth shoes. The clothes seem to have not been changed for several days, and there are a few gray spots on her face. She looks very simple, and she is a little embarrassed and timid. Immediately said: "My name is Meng Cidi, Zhao Qiangguo's battalion commander is my brother-in-law, and my sister is Meng Pandi."

Lin Qiao had already looked her over from head to toe, and said enthusiastically: "You are sister-in-law Meng, and I am also a military sister-in-law. , I know her very well, I will take you to her house."

"Great, thank you." Meng Cidi said pleasantly.

Lin Qiao took Xiao Shu's hand, turned to Lin Huaixuan, and said, "Brother, Yingying Commander Zhao's house is very close to mine, so let's go to his house first."

Lin Huaixuan nodded and agreed.

The four walked towards the camp, and Lin Qiao asked Meng Cidi, "You came here by yourself? You have suffered a lot along the way." With

just a simple greeting, Meng Cidi's tears almost flowed down, probably Lin Huaixuan helped her, She also had a good impression of his sister, and said without any concealment: "I ran out with my family behind my back. I didn't have a letter of introduction, and I couldn't buy a train ticket. I came here picking up a truck, so I hid in the carriage." Lin Qiao: "

... ..." Meng Cidi is definitely a person with a story.

"It's good that the journey is safe. I heard your sister said about your sisters. Let's go to your sister's house first. Let's have a chat when we have time." Seeing that she was emotional, Lin Qiao said in a gentle voice.

Meng Cidi's affection for Lin Qiao was almost overwhelming. She never expected to meet such a gentle and kind military wife when she first came to the island. She was so good-looking and talked to her warmly and easily.

"Okay, thank you." Meng Cidi's tense expression relaxed a little.

Walking to the door of Battalion Commander Zhao's house, Lin Huaixuan, Xiaoshu and Doudou were waiting at the door. Lin Qiao called Meng's sister-in-law and led Meng Cidi inside.

"Sister-in-law Meng, your sister has come to look for you." Lin Qiao said loudly.

Meng Pandi came out after hearing the sound, and when she saw Meng Cidi, she was taken aback, and then trotted over, holding her cousin's hand: "Cidi, why are you here, what's going on with you, why are you so dirty! "

"Third sister." Meng Cidi cried out, "Grandma wanted the gift money, and wanted to betroth me to a fool. I had no choice but to escape. I had nowhere to go, so I came to you." Meng Pandi He took the bundle from his cousin's arm, and said bitterly: "These two old bastards are really mad at me, Cidi, don't be afraid, they won't be able to catch up on the island, you first Stay here with me, let's slowly figure out a solution." "Third Sister..." Meng Cidi was sad and grateful at the same time, crying even louder. Meng Pandi turned her head and said to Lin Qiao, "Look at this mess in my house, I'm making you laugh." Lin Qiao said, "Sister-in-law, you talk first. My elder brother and nephew are waiting for me. I'll go back first." She walked to the door, took Doudou and Xiaoshu's hand again and said, "Go back to aunt's house, Xiaoshu." Lin Huaixuan helped Meng Cidi with a dubious attitude, but he didn't want to bring an unknown person without a letter of introduction to the island. superior. The other party said that her brother-in-law was a military officer, and Lin Qiao should know them, so he was willing to help. Now that the sisters recognized each other, he let go of his hanging heart. The four of them walked home, Lin Qiao said, "Dad is working overtime on Sunday today, and he will come over for dinner after work. After dinner, Gu Lin will take you to the shipyard dormitory." "Thank you brother-in-law for me. " Lin Huaixuan said. He has never met Gu Lin, but Xu Manzhi often praises him. He thinks that his brother-in-law must be good in all aspects. At the gate of the courtyard, Lin Qiao opened the door and said, "Xiaoshu must remember the way on the island, and will often come to my aunt's house in the future." After entering the door, Lin Huaixuan looked at the yard of the house and said with a smile: "Do you still raise chickens and grow vegetables? You You are very adaptable, I never thought you would live such a life." Lin Qiao said, "I don't know how to grow vegetables, but I can do it when I take care of them, and raising chickens makes it easier to eat eggs."

DouDou had already run to the front door and hugged Kong Kong who was sitting on the steps, and introduced him to a new friend: "Xiao Shu, my macaque is called Kong Kong." "Wow, you still have monkeys!

It's so small and nice." Cute, can I touch it?" Xiaoshu's eyes lit up.

"You can touch him. His name is Kong Kong. You two will be friends from now on." DouDou said. Kongkong ran into the house to fetch three bananas, broke them off, and distributed them to two children. The little tree was very pleasantly surprised

: "Wow, Kongkong is so smart, and he will give me bananas."

A child is as smart as a child, it can see that we are ripe, so it will bring you bananas.”

The little tree held Kong Kong’s hand tentatively, seeing that the little monkey did not hide, there were more stars in his eyes, this island is not bad, There is an aunt's family, a grandfather, and a monkey.

Lin Huaixuan glanced at Kongkong. The monkey was probably raised as a child and was still wearing clothes. He guessed that Lin Qiao's life must be easy and comfortable, and said, "If Mom can see your life now, she should be at ease. " When people entered the house, Lin Huaixuan opened one of the suitcases and said, "Mom was afraid that you would have no vegetables or meat to eat on the island, so she brought you a large bag of rapeseed, sausage, and beef jerky." Lin Qiao looked at those There was a big bag of things, and when she opened it, she took a piece of beef jerky and put it in her mouth, it smelled salty and delicious. Lin Qiao said, "Brother, didn't Mom ask someone to tell you not to go back to China, but go to Hong Kong to join your grandparents?" Is it?" "At that time, Mom asked Huang Meiqin to go home, so she couldn't discuss it with you, so she said that she would divorce when you came back." Lin Qiao said that Huang Meiqin had always behaved well before, and the relationship between husband and wife was harmonious. She wanted to know what her elder brother thought. "Not only did she fail to get along with her lover, but she also ruined her father's reputation in the Cultural Bureau. Her father was originally the deputy director and was expected to be promoted to the director. Now there is no hope. Wang Lianqiang lost his job because of his style. She also begged I forgive her, saying that she was just confused for a while, don't want a divorce, and I divorced the next day after I came back." Lin Huaixuan said.

Lin Qiao applauded her eldest brother for being straightforward and not dragging his feet.

Her eldest brother is the youngest and highest-level engineer besides the chief engineer, and has a high level of education. Of course, he deserves a better woman.

"Huang Meiqin didn't go to our house anymore, she didn't go to find Xiaoshu." Since she wanted to break off the relationship, Lin Qiao hoped not to have any contact with her at all.

"Before you went to the island, Gu Lin went to her house, and told her not to find trouble. She would not dare to go even if she wanted to."

Lin Qiao felt relieved after hearing what the elder brother said: "I didn't know that Gu Lin went to her house. "

Lin Huaixuan also told a good news: "Zhou Xiaodu is going to marry your second brother, I didn't catch up, they will get the certificate in two weeks, it's his father's choice." "That's great."

Lin Qiao said pleasantly that she never thought that Zhou Xiaodu would become her second sister-in-law.

"Are Zhou Xiaodu's parents willing?" Lin Qiao asked, "Before I came to the island, Zhou Xiaodu's father was always worried that he would also be sent down, but now that he is fine, he is willing to marry his daughter to our family? Now looking for a partner is all about family background." , Zhou Xiaodu can obviously marry into a family with good status.”

Lin Huaixuan said: “At present, your second brother’s job is stable, and Zhou Xiaodu has never disliked our family. She often comes to see our mother and Xiaoshu at home. The second brother got along well, so he became a matchmaker. She and your second brother are both willing, and her parents respect her daughter's ideas and have no objection." "

Our mother has always been worried that the second brother will not be able to find a good match. I didn't expect Zhou Xiaodu to be willing to marry him." Lin Qiao felt very surprised and very happy.

A good friend becomes the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law doesn't mind her family status. There is really nothing more gratifying than this.

"Zhou Xiaodu is not bad. Her appearance, education and family conditions are much better than your second brother's previous partner Li Yafeng. She is more suitable for your second brother and has a good relationship with you. I have long wanted to introduce Zhou Xiaodu to your second brother, but Our mother was a step ahead and introduced Li Yafeng." Lin Huaixuan said.

"What's more important is that she was willing to marry when the Lin family was in decline, just like Gu Lin didn't dislike our family." Lin Qiao said so much in one breath, she felt that she was three thousand miles away, and finally she didn't have to worry anymore. family. "Don't worry so much." Lin Huaixuan said, "Mom wants you to live a more relaxed life. If she knows that you think so much, she will definitely feel sorry for you. She can only feel relieved when you live well." "I'm doing well, just It's hard to find a partner when the elder brother comes to the island, you are still so young, you definitely can't live with Xiaoshu, you will definitely remarry, and besides, Xiaoshu also needs to find a mother." Lin Qiao said. Lin Huaixuan laughed and said, "You see, you think about your family all day long, so you really don't have to worry about me." After chatting for a while, Lin Qiao glanced at his watch and said, "Make dinner early, and eat crabs tonight, because you're here today. Gu Lin specially bought it from the fishing team." The two walked out of the house, and the two children were watching the crabs around the bucket, and they talked happily: "There are all kinds of seafood on the island, cat's eye snails, coconut crabs, every time you go to catch the sea, you can eat them." Picked it up." Listening to Doudou's bragging, Xiaoshu's hustle and bustle almost flowed down, and he wished to go to the sea immediately. Lin Qiao steamed the rice, Lin Huaixuan helped brush the crabs, Lin Qiao cooked the crabs in three ways, steamed them, added potatoes, green bamboo shoots, taro, and vermicelli to make spicy crabs, and took out the crab meat and used the crab shells Crabmeat made steamed eggs for two kids. The crabs were all in the pot, Gu Lin brought Lin Peiyuan back, Lin Qiao introduced them, and said, "Dinner will be served right away." Lin Huaixuan looked at Gu Lin's tall and heroic, awe-inspiring manner, and looked calm and steady, so he couldn't help following him. Chen Qicheng made a comparison and felt that Gu Lin was more suitable for his younger sister. Gu Lin saw Lin Huaixuan as worthy of doing research and development work, with an extraordinary bearing, and he knew that he was a cultural person at a glance. "Thank you for taking care of my sister during this time." Lin Huaixuan thanked. Gu Lin said: "Brother, you are welcome, our family will not talk about each other." After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lin Peiyuan asked: "Is this period going well?"

"It's all good. My mother is worried about your health. Before I set off, I repeatedly told me to let you smoke less." Lin Huaixuan said.

Lin Peiyuan said: "Then I will quit smoking."

"Dad, I will do what I say." Lin Qiao said.

In addition to crabs, there are sweet coconut rice, stir-fried cabbage, fried fish with garlic sprouts, clam laver soup, and a cup of coconut milk for each person.

"Wow, there are so many dishes, they are different from grandma's." Xiaoshu said.

Lin Qiao shared steamed eggs with crab shells with him and Doudou, and said, "There are few vegetables on the island, and you can eat any seafood. These are the things you will eat most in the future." "Gu Lin, our family must thank you, too many words of

gratitude I can't tell, so I'll toast you with coconut milk instead of wine." Lin Peiyuan held up the coconut juice to respect Gu Lin.

I never thought that the Lin family would rely on this son-in-law, so many words of gratitude turned into this sentence.

Gu Lin quickly clinked glasses with him and said, "Dad, we are a family, and I don't care about the eldest brother." "

It's also related to you." Lin Peiyuan said.

Lin Qiao greeted everyone to eat: "Stop talking about this as a family. The food will get cold in a while, let's eat first."

After dinner, Gu Lin and the others left together. He wanted to take Lin Huaixuan to the shipyard. Lin Huaixuan will arrive tomorrow .

Lin Qiao had already packed a large bag of dried fruit, fish fillets and other snacks and stuffed them into Lin Huaixuan's hands, saying, "Give it to Xiaoshu, brother, if you have time, you can come to our house for dinner, anyway, it's not too far away. , and you will be there in 20 minutes on foot."

Thirty to forty minutes later, Gu Lin came back and saw Lin Qiao arranging the fabric.

"Your elder brother is an engineer, and he takes care of children. He doesn't live in a dormitory. The shipyard allocated him a spacious house, but their houses are all in a large courtyard, and there is no separate small courtyard. But their factory has given him The basic daily necessities and rice, flour, grain and oil are ready, and the two of them will have no problems in their lives." Gu Lin said.

"It's pretty good." As long as it is stable, she is satisfied no matter what kind of house they live in.

Lin Qiao also told him the good news about Lin Zhenkai: "My second brother is getting married. You know his wife. Guess who it is?" He is now preparing a congratulatory

gift for his second brother and sister-in-law. She doesn't want to give money, but plans to send Cloth is also a specialty of the island in the past.

When she got married, Zhou Xiaodu gave her a lot of high-end fabrics from his dowry, and Lin Qiao wanted to give them double the fabrics this time.

Gu Lin thought for a while and said, "Zhou Xiaodu?"

"You guessed it right, it really is Zhou Xiaodu. I never thought that Zhou Xiaodu could become my second sister-in-law. There is no one more suitable for my second brother than her." Lin Alice said excitedly.

"It's your acquaintance, and I only know a few. Besides, you are so happy, your second sister-in-law must be someone you like." Gu Lin said.

"You know me too well." Lin Qiao tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.

Gu Lin saw that Lin Qiao was very willing, just like Zhou Xiaodu gave her a generous gift. The fabrics prepared by Lin Qiao and his second brother and sister-in-law included various woolen materials, some Dacron, and a few pieces of silk.

She quickly prepared the fabric, and when the big ship came, she would pack up dried fruits and dried fish and send them over.

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiao curled up in Gu Lin's arms, wrapping her arms around him, "Thank you, our family is safe because of you," she said.

"Why, plan to thank me with yourself! Yes, I accept." Gu Lin put his chin on Lin Qiao's forehead, and his voice was smiling.

"Be serious."

"I won't."

——

After dinner, Meng Pandi came with Cidi and Xiaowan'er.

Xiao Wan'er held a lunch box in his hand, which contained coconut cakes, and shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard: "Doudou, my mother made red bean coconut cakes, golden beans, and steel coins. Let's eat coconut cakes."

This voice called out the four children, and they dragged the little tree to the yard, Jindou, and the steel coin also ran to Lin Qiao's house, and they took Kongkong to eat coconut cakes in the yard.

When the two entered the room, Lin Qiao asked them to sit down. It was Meng Cidi's first time here, and Lin Qiao poured tea for them.

Meng Cidi was neatly dressed, her two thick black braids were also combed sleekly, her willow eyebrows and almond eyes looked very delicate.

"Lin Qiao, my sister's trip was not going well. When I arrived at the pier, I encountered a thief who stole her baggage. Thanks to your elder brother for helping to get her baggage back. Cidi couldn't buy a boat ticket without a letter of introduction. Your elder brother helped to buy the boat." Ticket. If it weren’t for your elder brother, maybe her things would have been stolen, and she wouldn’t be able to go to the island. She was very grateful to your elder brother, so she made a bellyband for Xiaoshu.” Meng Cidi spread out the things in her hand, there were four in total

, She said: "These two small ones are for the bag. My sister said you like to be clean, so they have been washed." Lin Qiao took over the bag, which was made of red

cloth and embroidered with patterns of centipedes, scorpions and other five poisons. The embroidery is very fine, and such patterns are said to ward off evil spirits.

"Your embroidery is really good. You must have spent a lot of effort. We will accept it without hesitation. My elder brother is an upright person. Since I met you and helped me, it's no big deal. You don't need to thank you." Lin Qiao smiled. explain.

"I will definitely express my gratitude, but I can't come up with good things." Meng Pandi said.

"You're welcome, it's hot here, so put the child in a bellyband to keep him cool." Lin Qiao said.

Meng Pandi also asked Gu Lin if she could let Meng Cidi go to work on the farm, and Gu Lin readily agreed.

He said: "Anyway, the farm needs manpower, and the army will try its best to solve the difficulties encountered by the family members." "

Thank you, Gu Tuan." Meng Cidi hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

After chatting for a while about the reason why Meng Cidi left home and her experiences, the two sisters left contentedly.

"Third Sister, Lin Qiao and her elder brother are all good friends." Meng Cidi said after returning home.

Meng Pandi nodded: "Let's not talk about them, the people in this camp are all good, you can work on the farm with peace of mind, and we will discuss what you will do in the future." ——Meng Pandi's

tone

relaxed Chat with Cidi.

"What have you been doing these days from get off work on the farm to Lin Huaixuan's house?" Meng Pandi asked.

"Didn't Brother Lin help me get my bag back from the thief? He had a fight with the thief, and his clothes were torn. I went to mend his clothes. Brother Lin has been very busy with work recently. He has no time to take care of the house. I will return it to them." Clean up the house, wash the clothes, and make dinner, so that the father and son don't have to eat in the cafeteria, Xiaoshu likes to eat the food I cook, and he likes me very much." Meng Cidi lowered her head, her face was shy.

Even without asking, Meng Pandi can guess.

In the past few days, Cidi is like a snail girl, washing and cooking for others, and not eating at other people's homes until it is dark.

Meng Pandi said: "You are all single, if you always go to Lin Huaixuan like this, maybe others will gossip, even if you don't care, Lin Huaixuan still has a good reputation. He is an engineer of a military factory, so he must care more about his reputation than you do." "Third

Sister , I know, I will try not to go in the future." Meng Cidi said.

She has endured so many gossips, so she naturally knows that people's words are scary.

Meng Pandi hesitated for a while, and then said: "Cidi, do you like Lin Huaixuan!"

Meng Cidi bowed her head and blushed without answering.

Meng Pandi couldn't guess it, and said: "Cidi, the cultural gap between us and Lin Huaixuan is too big. He is a college student, an engineer, and has studied abroad. Even if we don't talk about the cultural level, the gap is still very big. "

The Lin family has a bad background, but Meng Pandi thinks that the Lin family is different from them. She thinks they are educated, knowledgeable, qualified, and treat others kindly and properly.

In a word, she felt that Cidi was not good enough for Lin Huaixuan.

Meng Cidi still lowered her head, she said: "Third Sister, I know, I don't have any unreasonable thoughts, Brother Lin has helped me, and I want to do something for him as well as I can." Meng Pandi's tone was very gentle:

" I know, I will go with you when I go to his house in the future, or we will go with Lin Qiao."

Meng Cidi's eyes were lit up again: "Okay, third sister."

——Just

after breakfast on Sunday, Lin Huaixuan put Xiaoshu sent it over: "He has been saying that he wants to find his aunt these days."

"Is Xiaoshu still used to it?" Lin Qiao asked.

"Very good." Lin Huaixuan said.

Lin Qiao said, "Let him play with DouDou."

The two little guys immediately took Kong Kong to find other children to play with.

Lin Huaixuan was still busy with work, so Lin Qiao asked him to come home for lunch and dinner.

In the afternoon, when Lin Huaixuan had time, Lin Qiao took him, Doudou and Xiaoshu up the mountain to pick wild fruits and Chinese herbs.

They brought back a few ripe pineapples this time.

Xiaoshu said happily: "This island is good, there are pineapples to eat."

Lin Qiao cut out the pineapple flesh, soaked it in salt water and washed it for everyone to eat, "These two pineapple skins are used to make pineapple rice."

"That's great." Doudou looked forward to it, "Mom's cooking is delicious."

After dinner, Xiaoshu was reluctant to leave, and asked eagerly, "Auntie, can I live at your house?" "

Yes, You stay with DouDou," Lin Qiao said.

Gu Lin said: "You and Xiaoshu share a room, and I'll move a bed." Just do it, and he will move the bed right away.

Xiao Shu said happily, "Uncle welcomes me too, I like Uncle."

Lin Huaixuan didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Qiao, and said, "I'd better take Xiao Shu back, it's too noisy to bring two children."

Lin Qiao said: "Xiaoshu should cultivate more relationship with you, but if he wants to live in our house, let him live here for a while."

She lifted Xiaoshu up: "Xiaoshu will be my aunt's child from now on."

Xiaoshu was very happy: "I like aunt the most."

Gu Lin arranged the bed, Lin Qiao took the bedding and made the bed, Xiaoshu was very satisfied with this room, it was full and empty.

After the two children fell asleep, the couple returned to their own room, Gu Lin stretched out his arms to embrace his wife and said, "You like children so much, we are going to have one now."

Lin Qiao was amused by him, and asked, "Do you like children? Gu

Lin said: "I didn't like it before, I thought children were noisy, but now that I'm with you, I think it's good to have children." "Do

you want a boy or a girl?" Lin Qiao asked.

"We already have a brat, a girl is fine." Gu Lin said, his voice full of longing, "If we have a girl, she must look like you, pretty and delicate." Lin Qiao said: "Everyone

says My daughter looks like dad, and if she looks like you, she will look pretty!"

The daughter-in-law is praising him!

Gu Lin was overjoyed by the praise: "I'm so good in your heart?"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "I'm the handsome guy in the eyes of beholders."

This sentence pleased Gu Lin, and he kissed Lin Qiao on the cheek: " Then let's hurry up and have a daughter."
