There are no four seasons on Zhongshan Island; it is always hot. So much so that people sometimes ignore the date when living their lives.

One day, Yin Xiaoman suddenly had the urge to flip through the calendar and suddenly realized that a year had passed and there were only a few days left until the Spring Festival!

At this moment, she felt quite emotional. When I recall the days I just traveled through, it seems like it was a long, long time ago, like a dream.

It would be fine if she didn't know, but now that she knew, she certainly couldn't let such days pass by in silence.

She wanted to make a delicious meal for the experts to celebrate with them.

There are now eleven experts on the island. Even with the addition of a few more, their workload does not seem to have decreased at all. They are still very busy.

More than half a year has passed, and as their exclusive chef, Yin Xiaoman still hasn't recognized all of them.

They go out early and come back late, staying in the laboratory all day long, busy day and night.

But the more this happened, the more Yin Xiaoman wanted to do her best to do more for these most lovely people. She can't help with anything else, but it's the holiday, so isn't it her duty to cook a meal?

So when Ren Ping'an came to deliver food to her home, she told him her intention. I hope that when the supply ship comes again, he will talk to them and see if there is anything that can be bought and buy as much as possible.

What she didn't expect was that after she expressed her idea, Ren Ping'an not only agreed with it, but also asked her sincerely if it was possible to hold the experts' celebration banquet together with the one in the camp?

Ren Pingan said to her, "Sister-in-law, your cooking is delicious and it is recognized by the whole camp. Although few people in the camp have tasted your cooking skills, everyone has spread it. They say that no matter what it is, as long as it passes through your hands, it will become a rare delicacy in the world!

Normally, you have to manage how many meals the experts eat a day, so I wouldn't mention this to you. But now that you said you want to prepare a banquet, I'll shamelessly ask you to come to the kitchen and cook, okay? Also give us the opportunity to learn along?

Actually, to be honest, our camp has not provided any benefits to everyone since we arrived on the island until now. It's New Year's Day, and I think the battalion commander won't object to having a dinner together.

Sister-in-law, you don’t know that our soldiers have a hard life too. They do the most tiring work every day. ”

How could Yin Xiaoman not know what Ren Ping'an said?

Although their battalion is called the Security Battalion, they do more than just patrolling and security work.

Now, the new warehouse has begun to be dug, and the regiment has sent two engineering platoons.

But how could that number of people be enough?

Now, all the cadres and soldiers in the camp, except those on duty, have to go to the construction site to help.

That's really hard physical work that most people can't imagine.

Even in such a harsh environment.

Because it was too hot before, eggs and meat could not be transported. Yin Xiaoman once consulted Ren Ping'an and asked if they could find a way to get some chickens and ducks from the shore to raise?

It would be best if we could get a pig or a few sheep.

Whether there are rebels on Zhongshan Island or not, no one will care what they raise, as they can be completely self-sufficient.

But Ren Ping'an smiled bitterly and told her that there was no manpower. Even the people in the kitchen had to go to the mountain to move stones during their breaks.

He also said that people might get used to the frequent mountain bombings, but as for the pigs and chickens, if they were brought back home, they would either be scared to death or would not eat after three days.

It's a waste to starve to death.

This made Yin Xiaoman give up the idea immediately.

Now that Ren Ping'an has proposed this idea, Yin Xiaoman will naturally not disagree.

In the next few days, the two of them stayed together, studying the menu and figuring out how to make the limited food as innovative as possible.

After all, we eat seafood every day, so anyone would lose their appetite when seeing those now.

Shen Qingyun naturally knew that they were busy with this matter, and he agreed with it.

Just a special note, the construction site has reached the most critical stage now, so you can take care of the arrangements, but don't occupy too much manpower.

Yin Xiaoman had no objection to what he said, she thought the same in her heart.

I watch my man working every day, and see his skin becoming increasingly rough. He is obviously much thinner than when he first came. His hands and body were bumped and bruised all over, with purple bruises all over.

How could she not feel sad? There's just no way to express it.

The man is the highest-ranking official on the entire Zhongshan Island. How can he lead the troops if he doesn't practice himself?

So Yin Xiaoman now schedules his time very fully. She took on all the work that could be done alone or together with the children, as she did not want to waste the energy of the soldiers in the kitchen squad.

I always think that if I work harder, the soldiers can rest more. If someone can be freed up to help at the construction site, the pressure on the man will be less.

Early in the morning, she was discussing with Dami and Dabao, asking them to go to the beach to see if they could find some bird eggs or turtle eggs.

This is the best way for them to consume eggs now.

Before they could finish discussing it, Shen Qingyun came over and slapped each child on the forehead.

Then he turned to look at Yin Xiaoman and said with a smile: "Don't go anywhere today, stay at home, no one should go out. I will ask someone to call you later, and then you will all follow me to the shore to meet the supply boat."

There is a real shortage of people on the island right now, and Shen Qingyun wants to include everyone he can think of.

This is not the first or second time that he has asked the boys in his family to work for him. After hearing what he said, everyone thought that he was going to capture two children to work as laborers again, and no one took it seriously.

Only Yin Xiaoman always felt that the man was in an unusually good mood today, with an excitement that he tried hard to hide, as if something good was about to happen.

But on this island, there is no difference between a day, a month, or a year.

The people and things you see are all the same.

Yin Xiaoman thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what special could happen? Later, when I got busy, I put this matter aside.

As a result, just after nine o'clock, Shi Lei came running to call for help. He also specifically said that the whole family would go, and asked the mother and daughter to go as well.

Is this some fresh food?

Thinking of this, Yin Xiaoman suddenly perked up. He didn't care that the sun outside was so hot that it made his head dizzy. He was so panicked that he ran out without even taking his straw hat.

As a result, when a few people just arrived at the port, Yin Xiaoman saw her man standing outside at a glance. This surprised her.

Isn't this person busy all day long? How come you have time to come and pick up the supply ship in person?

Could it be that besides food, there are other very important things on this ship?

But if that's the case, then what are they doing here?

The more Yin Xiaoman thought about it, the more confused she became. Before she could ask the question in her mind, Shen Qingyun had already taken off his straw hat and put it directly on her head.

"Why don't you even wear a hat when you go out? You'll get a heat stroke again!"

Because the sun on the island is too strong.

In order to prevent heatstroke, the soldiers on the island no longer wear military caps when working. Instead, they all wear wide-brimmed straw hats that farmers wear when working in the fields.

Whether it looks good or not is another matter, but at least with this thing, your scalp won’t get a hot and painful burn from the sun.

Yin Xiaoman also has one, but she has reworked hers and added a veil on the outermost layer. Although it is a bit stuffy to wear, it blocks most of the sunlight.

She put her straw hat on with her hands and asked directly without explaining, "Why are you here? What important things are you bringing here today?"

"It's not the important things, it's the important people. You will know later." Shen Qingyun smiled and said to her meaningfully.

The person who can make a man so excited must have a close relationship with him.

But he not only came to pick her up himself, he also called his entire family over.

Does that mean that the person who came knows himself?

But apart from the Pioneer Camp, Yin Xiaoman didn't think there was anyone she was familiar with.

Pioneer Camp...

Her heart suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the man in disbelief.

Shen Qingyun smiled at her and nodded.

"Really? Is it Sister Cui and her family who are coming over?"

Yin Xiaoman's voice was shaking. She didn't care that there were people around. She walked over and grabbed the man's arm tightly: "You didn't lie to me?!"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Shen Qingyun patted her hand soothingly.

He also sighed: "I was not sure before, I didn't know whether this thing could be done, so I didn't dare to tell you. I was afraid that if something went wrong, you would be disappointed.

I also received a call from Captain Lu when I was on drill this morning. He said that he had done what he promised me and that he would arrive today with the supply ship.

I told you this as soon as I heard about it. ”

"Was it Tuan Lu who helped?" Yin Xiaoman was so happy that she was confused. She didn't even wait for the man to explain and asked.

"Yeah." Shen Qingyun nodded.

"I mentioned this to him the last time Tuan Lu came. Our garrison battalion still doesn't have an instructor, and the staffing is still incomplete. I discussed with him whether we could bring Lao Qi here to continue his old job. Tuan Lu told him to think about it."

As a result, Lu Tuan really brought Qi Feng's family here.

Although Shen Qingyun only gave the simplest account of what happened, Yin Xiaoman was not stupid and she could naturally understand the difficulties involved.

Qi Feng is now a cadre under suspension for investigation. Sending such a person to a place like Zhongshan Island to take up such an important position...

Not to mention how difficult the process is, he also takes huge risks.

This should be Lupin's reward to the Shen family for taking care of Dami.

"Thank you, Lu Tuan. I have to thank Lu Tuan very much." Yin Xiaoman was so excited that he began to feel a little at a loss.

He muttered to himself, but his eyes were fixed on the sea. They just hoped that the supply ship would appear in their sight sooner.
