With the combination of ocean water detoxification and carefully balanced food, Jiujiao is now a tall child who is neither fat nor thin. However, she is still a bit picky about food, so she occasionally cooks vegetables with MSG.

The older ones were so impressed by the flavor that they practically rushed to eat the vegetables made with seasoning powder. Jiu Tiao, seeing his older brothers grabbing them, would also line up to grab them, often eating a lot, but he would be a little less interested in eating ordinary vegetables.

Every time I have to let her take the initiative to pick up the food, and then I give her face and let her eat a few bites...

"You won't grow tall if you don't eat vegetables." Ba Tiao said to Jiu Tiao with his mouth full.

"Mynah bird also eats a little!" Jiu Tiao didn't believe what his brother Ba Tiao said. Ba Tiao always ate more meat and less vegetables.

"It will lead to nutritional imbalance. It will cause bad skin." Qi Tiao added. He remembered what his mother said. She also said that eating green vegetables can replenish "Weixi", which his mother said was a good thing...

"I want good skin~" Jiujo has now become a boy who knows how to love beauty. After hearing this, he quickly chewed two pieces of vegetable leaves and swallowed them slowly...

Cheng Zhenzhu ate her meal, smiling. Her family now made tofu with brine, one strip after another, like a food chain.

The smallest nine are usually at the bottom, but occasionally they stand at the top with overwhelming power.

Because the little one is always the first to wake up, he opens his eyes every day and knocks on his brother's door, shouting "Lazy, get up~", which annoys the other kids. After that, if he wants to sleep in, he will say hello to Jiu Tiao and give him some treats to let him rest for a while.

Jiu Tiao, having received a benefit, was honest and just blocked the doorway for fun, not shouting loudly. Or perhaps he'd take a break, lie down comfortably in his blanket, and chew on the "benefits" his brothers gave him...

"Mom, where are we going to celebrate the New Year this year?" After finishing his meal, Ba Tiao began to worry about the New Year. He was annoyed by his brother Liu Tiao's daily counting of days.

"Just stay home," Cheng Zhenzhu replied. He wasn't too lazy to run around this year, so he could just stay home like he did last year. His mother and Old Man Wang could come over whenever they wanted, since he already had a place to stay.

"It's good to be at home." Qi Tiao nodded happily. Although it was fun at grandma's house, he still preferred to stay at home, in his own territory.

Cheng Zhenzhu looked at Qi Tiao, who was showing some signs of being a bit of a homebody, and felt that she might have led the little guy astray. After all, she often stayed at home, and her usual sources of information were Sister Yumei and Sister Daming.

Oh, there's another one.

Nijo loves gossip, and it's said there's no secret on Sanshi Island that he doesn't know. But Nijo says, "Even though it's a secret, my mother is an exception," so he often tells her about it...

For example, Wang Aixiang's eldest son also joined the army. Wang Aixiang, the one who had offered her a mattress out of sheer joy, returned to Sanshi Island once this year, leaving behind a trail of glorious "spendthrift" stories about her family's ruin, and then waved her sleeves and left, a story the islanders relished for a long time.

Oh, Wang Aixiang's eldest son, nicknamed Zhong Dawa. His full name was Zhong Jianguo. It was such a common name that Cheng Zhenzhu only realized belatedly that this Zhong Jianguo, nicknamed Zhong Dawa, might be the captain of the Sharp Knife Special Forces unit she admired in the book "The Sharp Knife of the 1980s."

Because it says that Zhong Jianguo and Peng Chengrui are from the same hometown. Later, when they went back to pay respects to their ancestors, they even went together...

What kind of fate is this? Cheng Zhenzhu felt infinite emotion in her heart, thinking of the character of the captain Zhong Jianguo in the book "80s" who would also sacrifice himself in the end, and she felt a little uneasy.

In the book, only a few members of the Sharp Knife Special Forces were left. Her arrival has changed a lot. I wonder if she can indirectly change the fate of this special forces unit...

"Mom, I want more~" After Jiu Tiao finished pounding half a bowl of rice, he put his little paws on his mother.

Cheng Zhenzhu came to her senses, set her thoughts aside, and scooped another half ball of rice for Jiu Tiao, then poured some soup and some vegetable leaves. As for the meat, she didn't pick it up, Jiu Tiao could handle it himself...

Not long after dinner, Cheng Zhenzhu was still resting in the house when a small figure appeared at the gate of the yard.

It's the little Sanhai kid. He's jumping around at the door, calling out to Jiu Tiao and the others to go out and play.

"Sanhai, come in and play." Kujo called out.

"Princess, princess~" Sanhai saw his nine brothers waving at him, and he came in with a "duangduang" hop on his short legs. When he saw Cheng Zhenzhu, he called out "Aunt Juju" in a low voice...

Cheng Zhenzhu was already used to it. She asked a few children to play by themselves and then went about her own business.

What she was busy with was, of course, exploring the sea, which was her latest compulsory course.

She remembered what Sister Yumei had told her a few days ago, that ships from other places on the border were appearing more and more frequently, and she wanted to find out what was going on. So, she often took advantage of the "mission protection" to abandon her mission and swim directly to the edge of the cordon.

However, she rarely encountered ships. Even when she did, they were just a few small fishing boats. After spending half a day waiting, her mission time was almost up, and she didn't hear any useful information...

Could it be that they had been evacuated? Sister Yumei had told her it had been over a month since then... Cheng Zhenzhu pondered as she swam.

About an hour later, she didn't know whether to say she was lucky or what, but she saw a group of boats, their shadows looming.

There was a large, imposing-looking ship, and then seven or eight smaller boats, all fully equipped with salvaging equipment. Just looking at the salvaging equipment and the sheer size, one could tell it wasn't a simple operation!

Cheng Zhenzhu smelled something unusual and swam back and forth around several boats. She found that the people on the small boats were very active, constantly dragging equipment in and out of the water. As for the large boats, there seemed to be no one on them...

"Baka!"

Then, just as Cheng Zhenzhu was guessing the group's intentions, she heard a loud cursing voice coming from the big ship.

...As expected, they're Japanese. But just now, I saw quite a few Japanese people on the boat as well... Cheng Zhenzhu, using her tools, got onto the boat, all wet, leaving a long trail of water stains, the imprint of her footprints.

"Baga baga baga!" As the distance got closer, Cheng Zhenzhu heard another clear curse. Then there was a mellow voice, speaking Mandarin, as if to comfort her.

"Anyway, the stuff won't get away. If all else fails, we'll just send in some more people. But are you really sure the stuff is here? Could it be that we're looking for the wrong place?"
