"Shiyue, don't rush to move." Mei Ying's voice came in before she even stepped inside.

She said, "Let them figure out how to cook. There are so many people on the island; it's not like we can't cook a meal without you sisters-in-law."

"You stay put. You're not just pregnant, you also have heatstroke. If you don't rest properly, I won't let you out the door!"

Hearing that his wife had also suffered from heatstroke, He Lixuan became even more worried.

His feet felt like they were glued to the ground and he couldn't move them no matter what.

He Liping was a father for the second time, so while he was happy, he wasn't too nervous.

Seeing his younger brother's pathetic state, he clicked his tongue, went over and patted He Lixuan on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, alright, you stay here with Shiyue. And listen to what the doctor has to say. I'll talk to the people at the camp."

He gave his wife a few more instructions, then called to his daughter that he was leaving.

Jiajia really wanted to stay with her mother and aunt.

She ran back and forth several times throughout the morning, her face flushed and her clothes soaked with sweat.

But looking at my uncle's condition, and then at my aunt surrounded by doctors and my mother lying in bed receiving an IV drip, I knew I couldn't count on anyone.

The little girl sighed like a little adult, touched her mother's face, and said, "Mom, I'm going home now. I'm going to tell Grandma the good news."

As she spoke, she bent down and kissed Liang Yueming on the cheek, then lowered her voice and said, "I'm going back to keep an eye on Dad and not let him cook. His cooking is terrible!"

One sentence made Liang Yueming laugh out loud again.

Actually, He Liping is a decent cook, but the experience of being constantly criticized while living with her at her parents' house probably had a huge impact on him.

Many habits become deeply ingrained.

He Liping is reluctant to use oil when cooking.

It's one thing to use less oil when cooking for your own family, but it's inappropriate to not use it when cooking for experts.

After all, their oil and vegetable subsidies are delivered to the small canteen.

So Liang Yueming disliked him a lot, and kept complaining that his cooking was bad.

Over time, Jiajia remembered it.

He Liping had no idea that his daughter was talking badly about him behind his back; he had a lot of things to do right now.

After taking his daughter home, he immediately went to find Qi Feng and told him the news.

Qi Feng was stunned when he heard that the two sisters-in-law were pregnant at the same time.

For a moment, I didn't know how to handle this situation.

Seeing him like this, He Liping kindly reminded him, "Don't think about the future for now, just focus on arranging today's work."

Anyway, my wife can't do anything today; she just fainted.

She suffered heatstroke in October; she's in even worse shape. Besides, Dr. Mei won't even let her get out of bed.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Qi Feng could only agree.

It took him a while to react, and he smiled at He Liping, saying, "I haven't congratulated you yet. Wow, you're going to be a father again. That's great, our island can have a new addition to the family."

He Liping was already in a good mood, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh a few more times. After exchanging a few words with Qi Feng, he hurriedly went to the expert group.

He also had to share the good news with his father and He Lixuan's teacher!

That day, Qi Feng transferred his wife, Cui Yun, to the small canteen.

Knowing that Shiyue and Liang Yueming were both pregnant, Cao Dalin even took a young soldier from the limited number of people in the canteen to go and help.

He repeatedly instructed them to tell Shiyue that he would keep an eye on the sea cucumber matter and that Shiyue must not be allowed to go to the rocky beach again.

It was Cao Dalin who came up with the idea of ​​soaking sea cucumbers there in Shiyue. He also knew that Shiyue had gone there before going to the clinic that day.

Thinking about this, Cao Dalin couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. He was really afraid that if Shiyue had bumped or fallen there, he would have no time to regret it.

Ye Puan and Qian Feiyue arrived together on the second day.

Qian Feiyue learned the news relatively late; his brother told him after he returned to the dormitory that night.

Ye Pu'an, who lived halfway up the mountain to keep bees, had no idea about the news.

It was Qian Feiyue who went up the mountain to find him during his lunch break, and the two of them came together.

The two men brought a bottle of royal jelly, which they had bought together.

As soon as they entered, the two greeted He Lixuan warmly, saying that they hadn't even found a wife yet, and he was already going to be a father.

Shiyue could smell the jealousy in his tone even through the door.

Seeing that they had finished laughing and joking, Shiyue came out of the house.

It's so hot now that it's not appropriate for outsiders to just walk into someone else's house. After all, nobody would dress properly in their own home.

While Shiyue was talking to her two friends, He Lixuan went inside and poured each of them a glass of lemon mint water that had been chilled in the stream.

Ye Pu'an took a sip of water, sighed comfortably, and said, "Ah, it's still more comfortable down the mountain!"

Qian Feiyue scoffed and rolled his eyes at him: "If it's comfortable down the mountain, let's switch. You go to the construction site to move stones, and I'll go up the mountain to raise bees."

Ye Pu'an just chuckled at his words and didn't respond.

Qian Feiyue came to the island as a relative of his brother; he himself did not have any special skills.

In this situation, the available job options were limited, so he eventually chose to work as a porter in the mountains.

They were the laborers who, after the engineering corps blasted open the rocks, pushed carts one by one down the mountain to transport the waste.

Qian Feiyue had his reasons for choosing to become a porter.

First of all, he is young and strong, so it's not good for him to compete with the older women who come to the island for easy jobs like feeding chickens and ducks and planting vegetables.

He didn't want to farm.

Furthermore, the subsidies for porters are particularly high. In addition to cooling allowances, there are also food allowances. All of these combined can amount to more than 20 yuan a month!

In addition, the wages on the island are much higher than elsewhere, and now Qian Feiyue can earn more than 100 yuan a month!

It's much higher than his father's salary after working in a factory for most of his life!

Qian Feiyue had thought it through clearly.

They certainly can't go back to the island anytime soon, and there aren't any women of marriageable age there, so he can't find a wife even if he wants to.

Who knows when we'll be able to leave the island?

If it takes several years, he will definitely be past the ideal age for marriage by then.

If he doesn't have much money, even if he goes back, he might not be able to marry a woman with better conditions.

Since that's the case, we might as well take advantage of the high wages and subsidies on the island to save more money.

Anyway, here they have no chance to spend money other than pay for food.

Qian Feiyue calculated that, based on this situation, he could save about seven or eight hundred yuan a year.

If they really stay for three to five years, that will be a considerable sum!

With this money in hand, and since I'm not missing any limbs, even if I'm a few years older, I can still marry a wife I like!

It must be said that Qian Feiyue's idea represents the common thoughts of most of the young men on the island who are roughly the same age.
