"No need, I'll just dry some myself when the time comes. Sister Hu, you can keep it for yourself." Jiang Yushan said a little embarrassedly.

She has farmed seafood in her space, so if she wants to eat it, she can just catch it directly without having to go through the trouble of drying it.

"Hey, you're teaching us cooking, so what's wrong with giving you some dry goods?" Hu Xiaowen glared at her, "If you say that, you're treating me like an outsider!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Hu." Jiang Yushan smiled and changed the subject, "I bought some fruit seeds not long ago and want to plant them."

"Fruit seeds? What are they?" When Hu Xiaowen heard the word fruit seeds, she looked a little worried.

There are actually quite a lot of fruits suitable for growing on the island, such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, etc. There are many people growing these and they are sold at a low price.

So if you want to eat it, just buy some yourself.

As for growing fruit, no one in the family compound has mentioned it yet, mainly because they have no experience.

After all, growing fruits is not like growing vegetables, and it is also troublesome to take care of them.

"Cherries, plums, and some strawberry seeds." Jiang Yushan showed the seeds he brought to Hu Xiaowen.

He only chose three kinds of fruits and didn't take them all out.

If there are too many varieties, it will be troublesome to plant them, and Hu Xiaowen may not agree to plant them.

These are just experiments first. If they can be grown, she will take out other seeds. By then, Hu Xiaowen will agree to plant them without any persuasion!

"Ah... why did you buy these seeds? Didn't the seed seller tell you that these seeds are not suitable for island cultivation? It's one thing that they won't survive, but even if they do grow, they won't taste good and will be very sour!" Hu Xiaowen's fears had finally come true. "You must have been scammed."

"Where did you buy the seeds? Come on, I'll take you to return the seeds!" Hu Xiaowen said angrily.

"Hey... Sister Hu, don't be impulsive. The person selling the seeds told me about this. I wanted to buy them myself and give it a try." Jiang Yushan hurriedly pulled her back.

Hu Xiaowen's reaction was a little different from what she expected. She thought Hu Xiaowen would support her.

"When these fruit seeds were first brought in, it's not like no one had tried to grow them, but no one had ever succeeded. Even if they did, the fruits were small and sour. Even pregnant women couldn't eat them. They had a bitter taste and were very unpalatable!"

"Just listen to Sister Hu's advice and don't waste your time. If you really want to grow some fruit, plant some bananas and mangoes. They grow well here." Hu Xiaowen advised earnestly.

Based on past experience, she was very sure what the result would be after planting it, and she didn't want Jiang Yushan to suffer this loss.

"Sister Hu, I want to give it a try. I have grown fruits before and have experience. Besides, I like to eat these fruits." Jiang Yushan looked at Hu Xiaowen eagerly.

Hu Xiaowen: “…”

She was pretty to begin with, and now she was looking at him with her bright eyes, making it impossible for Hu Xiaowen to say no.

"Okay, then you can try it if you want. But don't be sad if you can't grow it." Hu Xiaowen sighed helplessly.

Looking at Jiang Yushan, she suddenly had the illusion that she had a new daughter, and she was really worried about her.

"Okay, thank you Sister Hu!" Jiang Yushan was happy. He took Hu Xiaowen's arm and walked out of the family compound.

There is a special area in the family compound for military wives to grow crops, so the place is very large. There is also a large open space next to the vegetable area, which is enough for Jiang Yushan to grow these fruits.

"You know what, your seeds are really good, big and full. How come they are different from the seeds I have seen before? Maybe they can really be grown?" Hu Xiaowen only then noticed that the seeds she took out were very unusual.

"I always pick the best seeds." Jiang Yushan patted his chest.

The seeds cultivated with spiritual spring water are the best.

"Okay, I'll get you some water." After Hu Xiaowen accompanied Jiang Yushan in digging some holes, she took the initiative to take on the task of fetching water.

Because we grow vegetables here, we dug a well, so it is quite convenient to get water.

Jiang Yushan responded, and after planting the seeds, he first quietly watered the seeds with spiritual spring water, and then buried the seeds with soil.

After a while, Hu Xiaowen fetched some cool well water, and the temperature around seemed to drop a little.

"This amount of water may not be enough. I'll go get some more." Hu Xiaowen looked at the amount, put down the water and went back to the well.

While Hu Xiaowen was away, Jiang Yushan immediately added spiritual spring water into the water, and then watered the land where the seeds were planted to moisten it.

With the spiritual spring water, Jiang Yushan felt that these seeds could definitely be grown, and the fruits would not be sour and astringent.

"I hope your seeds can really be planted." Looking at the watered ground, Hu Xiaowen also sincerely hoped.

Although she was not very optimistic about this, she still didn't want to see Jiang Yushan fail.

After the two of them worked here for a while, they prepared to return home.

…

"I heard that some of the soldiers' wives went out to sea on a mission this time, and the place they were going was quite far away. That must be very dangerous, right?" In the vegetable garden, several soldiers' wives had just finished their work and gathered together to gossip.

The fact that Huo Ci led the troops into battle this time was a big deal, after all, he was going to expel Xiao Zi, and everyone in the family compound knew about it.

"How can this mission not be dangerous?" said another military wife with darker skin.

They are all military wives. The men in their families have all been on missions, and they have all experienced the stage of worrying at home.

But after doing it many times, they are not as nervous as they were at the beginning.

"This mission is different from usual ones. I heard they brought lethal weapons this time." Liu Chunhong said mysteriously among these military wives.

Today she came to the vegetable garden with these military wives to weed and pick some vegetables to cook.

Because her husband is the battalion commander, Liu Chunhong knows more than these military wives. Plus, she is a gossipy person, so when she hears the discussion, it is impossible for her not to participate.

"Ah? What weapon?" a military wife asked curiously.

"I don't know about that, but I heard they're very important weapons in the army. And the higher-ups are taking this mission very seriously. They've even dismissed the fishermen on the coast and forbade them from going out to sea," Liu Chunhong continued. "My husband recently led a team to dismiss the fishermen and specifically told me not to go to the beach to catch seafood anytime soon."

The army did not explain this matter, but just prohibited people from going out to sea, and did not restrict everyone from going to the beach.

But in Liu Chunhong's case, perhaps her family members were worried, so she said a few more words, but this was undoubtedly an act that could easily cause panic.

"What? We can't even go to the beach? Then this mission is indeed very dangerous..." The military wife next to him couldn't help but get nervous when she heard this.

If Liu Chunhong hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known such specific details.

"Yes, luckily my husband didn't go." Liu Chunhong said with some relief.

If her man had gone, she wouldn't feel so safe coming out to pick vegetables now.
