"What is written? I can't read."

"I know, it's Y&L. The first letters of the pinyin for '郁' and '陆'."

Yu Yao nodded, agreeing with the answer.

The scene erupted in excitement.

"My goodness, Commander Lu is such a doting husband. Not only did he make a custom-made birthday gift for Yu Yao, but he also had their names engraved on it."

"It's infuriating to compare people like this. If my husband were this considerate, the kids I gave birth to would be old enough to run errands."

"I must say, Comrade Yu Yao is truly blessed, and she and Commander Lu are a match made in heaven."

Although the military families didn't know the word "romance," it didn't stop them from feeling its meaning, and their enthusiasm for the two as a couple was in no way inferior to that of people in later generations.

"I really envy Yu Yao, she got to marry such an outstanding man as Commander Lu. Unlike my deadbeat husband, he's just a block of wood with no sense of romance. He even had to buy separate seats for me to go to the movies."

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone present envied Yu Yao and Lu Ze's beautiful love, but Qin Lamei felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, like she was walking on thin ice.

She wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground, afraid that everyone's attention would return to her.

But what you fear most is what happens.

Su Meihua would not let this opportunity pass her by.

"Qin Lamei, you put your fishing rod on Yu Yao's fishing rod holder and still dare to say that you got there before Yu Yao? Have you no shame! Ladies, it's obvious who's crying wolf."

"Comrade Qin, we were just speaking up for you, but it turns out you're treating us like monkeys. You're the one crying 'stop thief' while blaming the victim. I've never seen such a shameless person before."

"Auntie is right. How can someone be so shameless? Luckily, Yu Yao had the rubber band as evidence, otherwise she would have succeeded. She even had the audacity to ask Yu Yao to apologize to her. That's just too shameless."

"She should apologize."

"Yes, Comrade Qin, we all saw you deliberately bullying Commander Lu's wife just now. Aren't you going to apologize to her?"

All eyes turned to Qin Lamei, their expressions clearly conveying the message that she should apologize.

Qin Lamei was embarrassed and even more afraid of incurring public wrath, which would make it impossible for her to stay in the family compound in the future. "Comrade Yu Yao, I'm sorry!"

Su Meihua tapped her ear. "Your voice is too soft. Speak louder. You almost capsized the boat just now. You think you can get away with this? No way."

Qin Lamei bit her lip, walked up to Yu Yao, and loudly apologized.

Yu Yao: "Comrade Qin, I hope you won't do this kind of thing again in the future. After all, the behavior of the family members will also affect the image of male comrades in the army. Comrade Qin doesn't want to affect Deputy Regiment Commander Ning's future promotion, does he?"

Qin Lamei's expression changed instantly; how could she have forgotten something so important?

"Comrade Yu Yao, Commander Lu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have bullied Comrade Yu Yao. I'll leave now, I'll leave now."

She hurriedly tried to pull the fishing rod, but with a sudden jerk, the rod snapped in two, and the other half fell into the sea.

It's broken like this, so even if we fish it out, it's unusable.

Qin Lamei felt a pang of heartache. She had spent a lot of money to buy this for this sea fishing trip, and the remaining half was useless, so she simply took it off and threw it into the sea.

It's a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; losing both the fishing rod and the army.

With Qin Lamei gone, the matter was considered closed. The other military dependents went back to their positions to either go fishing or rest.

Lu Ze greeted Yu Yao and then went back to the driver's seat to get busy.

Only Su Meihua and Yu Yao are left at this fishing spot.

While helping Yu Yao secure the fishing rod to the rubber ring, Su Meihua smiled and said to Yu Yao, "You didn't see it just now, but when Qin Lamei left, the sky was about to fall."

Yu Yao: "She should learn her lesson this time, and at least won't dare to cause trouble for a while."

Su Meihua agreed, sighing, "My mother-in-law used to say that for a woman, getting married is like being reborn. For a man, getting married is almost like being reborn too. How could someone like Deputy Regiment Commander Ning end up with such a clueless wife? Who knows how she'll drag him down in the future. You and Regiment Commander Lu are much better off."

Yu Yao looked up at her and said, "Your Commander Lei is not bad either."

“You’re right. My husband, Lao Lei, may be a bit of a chauvinist, but he listens to advice, which is good for me and the kids.” Su Meihua looked at the fishing rod. “Is it fixed in place?”

Yu Yao nodded, tested it with her hand, and found it to be very secure.

Su Meihua had never done sea fishing before. Seeing how different Yu Yao's fishing rod was from everyone else's, she couldn't help but say, "This imported fishing rod is really different; it looks so sturdy. Yu Yao, what's the biggest fish you think this rod can catch?"

"Lu Ze said he could catch fish weighing several hundred kilograms."

"My God, it weighs several hundred pounds! How can fish in the sea grow this big?"

We just caught so many sardines; they're perfect for bait.

Squid are food for sardines, but sardines are food for other fish as well. There were schools of sardines around just now, and there were probably larger fish eyeing them as well.

This is the time when you are most likely to catch a big fish by baiting your bait.

When sea fishing, the ship doesn't stop, but moves slowly forward, and the bait for sea fishing moves with the ship.

Several family members caught fish, mostly common sea fish. For example, Sister-in-law Sun Yu caught two black sea bream.

Half an hour had passed, and Yu Yao's fishing rod still hadn't moved. She slowly reeled in the line.
