Not long after Ren Ping'an and Dami left with the food, Shen Qingyun came back.

He must have rushed back immediately after finishing the work at hand. He didn't even have time to put on his raincoat and was now soaked all over.

After entering the door, he went straight to the kitchen, opened the rice jar and took a look. After seeing that there was nothing inside, he went back to the house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Da Mi and Er Niu huddled in the corner of the living room with sad faces, while my wife was sitting alone at the table, not knowing what she was thinking about.

What else doesn't he understand after seeing this?

Not caring about the two children standing nearby, he pulled Yin Xiaoman straight into the bedroom and closed the door.

The two children who stood up immediately when they saw him come back were both locked outside the door.

Yin Xiaoman was wondering where to find a place to store the food when she was startled by his sudden pull.

"What are you doing?!"

She slapped the man's hand, then patted her chest: "You scared me to death."

Shen Qingyun was not annoyed, he just frowned and stared at his wife: "You don't have to be like this."

"Everyone on the island has handed in their food, but I am the only one who gets treated differently? What's wrong? As the battalion commander's wife, I am different from others?"

Of course Yin Xiaoman knew that the man didn't mean that.

But as a pregnant woman, she was easily irritable, and she was annoyed by all the obstacles she faced over food the whole afternoon.

The only person she could vent her anger on was right in front of her, so naturally she started to make trouble without thinking.

Shen Qingyun glared at her: "You know that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean? Do you think that I have to be more delicate than others because I'm pregnant? There are elderly people and children at home, why don't you let them not pay the grain? Shen Qingyun, in your heart, am I such a hypocritical person?"

Shen Qingyun rubbed his temples.

He knew that what his wife said was not from her heart and she was just trying to stop him. But deep down I have to admit that these words are really touching.

It immediately pierced the darkest part of his heart.

As the leader of a battalion, he certainly knew that he and his family should set an example when faced with difficulties.

Let's work together to overcome the difficulties.

Even if my wife is pregnant, but...who doesn't have an old, weak or sick person in their family?

If we really get serious about it, every family can find a bunch of reasons not to pay grain.

Although he understood the reason, he couldn't bear to let his little girl, Xiaoman, who was pregnant and had to endure morning sickness to eat in the cafeteria.

His wife now feels sick at the mere smell of the kitchen. How can she go to the cafeteria to queue up for food?

Even if she was not allowed to go to the cafeteria and let the children bring back their food, there was only a little bit of food, and with Xiaoman's personality, she would definitely keep the children eating closely.

What about her? What should she do?

Liu Chang said that the first three months of pregnancy are the most important time. If you suffer any harm during this time, the child may not be able to stay in the womb and the adult may also be in danger.

In such an environment, Shen Qingyun has actually come to terms with whether he can keep the child or not, but he is very afraid that something might happen to his wife again, and he really can't bear it then.

What is the situation now? Due to strong winds and heavy rain, the supply ship could not reach the shore at all. In this situation, if Xiaoman really has something happen, who can she rely on?

Rely on that little brat Liu Chang?

Shen Qingyun didn't dare to think about it. If he thought about it for a moment, he could immediately feel the panic coming from the deepest part of his heart.

So, even though he knew that his family should set an example and take the lead, when Liu Chang and Qi Feng suggested that they keep this a secret from Xiaoman and not take her food rations, he agreed.

And I am grateful to these two brothers from the bottom of my heart.

Shen Qingyun can charge into battle and sacrifice his life for his country and his people, but Xiaoman is his rib and must be protected. No one can hurt her.

Including himself.

But how could he open his mouth and say this to the little woman in front of him?

Looking at her talking and saying things that people didn't want to hear, Shen Qingyun was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he couldn't do anything about her.

He reached out and pressed his wife's head, applying a little force to silence all her nagging words.

Then he said, "I'll go find Ren Ping'an and ask him to get your rations back. If you don't want to be tolerant, then let Erniu eat in the cafeteria starting tomorrow, but you still have to cook at home."

After saying that, he glared at the woman and threatened, "Be obedient."

Then turn around and leave.

That attitude unilaterally decided that this conversation was over.

Yin Xiaoman had never seen a man be so strong towards her.

She was stunned at first, then reacted and quickly grabbed his arm.

Then my hands were covered with water because of his wet clothes.

She looked at her hands with disgust. They were covered in mud and dirt and were sticky.

So he quickly found a towel to wipe it clean, and then said, "Hurry up and change your clothes!"

"No need to change it. It will be dirty if I change it again. I have something else to do, so I have to leave quickly." Shen Qingyun looked indifferent.

After saying that, he paused again, his face darkened and he threatened her, "You just stay at home and wait for me. Don't go out! I'll ask Dabao to go with me to the kitchen to get it..."

"What are you taking? I gave it away and you took it back. What will people think? Will they think that we are just a couple and putting on a show for others to see?"

Yin Xiaoman felt a little distressed when she touched the wetness on the man's body just now. Now when she heard him mention this again, she felt very annoyed.

She didn't bother to explain, she just opened the door and walked straight into the living room.

Shen Qingyun hurriedly chased after him and tried to persuade him: "How dare he! Ren Ping'an is not that kind of person, don't let your imagination run wild."

As a result, when he came out, he saw his wife took out a flour bag from somewhere, and then stretched it open and showed it to him.

As soon as he saw the bright yellow millet inside, the words he wanted to persuade immediately got stuck in his throat, and after a while he managed to utter: "Where did you get it?"

"Left it before."

Yin Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I will be like them and live off the land? When food arrives, shouldn't I save some for emergencies? It can save lives at a critical moment!"

After saying that, she pulled the flour bag again: "See? I left some food for your son, so he won't starve! Are you relieved?"

Shen Qingyun was relieved at this point, and was immediately overjoyed. Even his frowning face relaxed.

He excitedly grabbed a handful of millet, feeling the comfort of the rice grains slipping through his fingers, and laughed.

He looked at the woman deeply and said from the bottom of his heart, "Whether he eats or not is a small matter. The key is to make sure my wife is full. It is most important that you eat and drink well."

Yin Xiaoman couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips after hearing these words.

She concealed her inner joy and glanced at the man: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly, remember to work for a while and rest for a while."

Perhaps because of her lack of energy in the early stages of pregnancy, Yin Xiaoman realized today that she had really neglected a lot of things.

She didn't even know when the man became so thin?

Not only was he thin, he also looked extremely tired, with bloodshot eyes all over the whites of his eyes. It's obvious that the body and mind are in constant torment.

Thinking about what Ren Pingan said, he said, "Because they are afraid that using explosives will cause landslides in other places, now the battalion commander and the instructor are all leading the soldiers to dig manually.

They used the most primitive method, using hoes and hammers to chisel and shovel the soil a little bit at a time, and then used wheelbarrows to transport the soil away.

Now everyone is hoping that the landslide area is not too large and that a small passage can be dug out. Even if only one person can go in, at least we can get some food out. ”

Therefore, men had to bear enormous pressure, do hard labor, and eat only a little food every day.

In this situation, how can one not be exhausted?

Looking at him, Yin Xiaoman felt so heartbroken and became more determined to find a place to store the grain as soon as possible.

Not long after Shen Qingyun left, Dami came back.

As soon as he entered the yard, he did not go back to the house, but went to the kitchen first. I don't know what he was doing inside and it took him a while to come over.

After entering the house, although it can be seen that he deliberately washed his hands and took off his rubber shoes outside, there was still a lingering fishy smell on his body.

Yin Xiaoman wrinkled his nose and asked him, "Where have you been?"

Da Mi did not hide it: "I went to the place where you dug abalone before, and found a few."

At this point, he looked at Yin Xiaoman and asked tentatively: "Aunt, you said you don't vomit as much now, is that true?"

Yin Xiaoman didn't expect Da Mi to ask this.

Before, she said she wouldn't vomit because she thought of it on the spur of the moment to fool Cui Yan. In fact, she didn't pay much attention to it herself.

Now, after hearing what Da Mi said, she thought about it carefully and found that she was indeed much better. At least when she went to the cafeteria at noon today, she did not feel nauseous.

Of course, it may also be because I was too surprised at that time and forgot about it.

She thought for a moment and nodded to Da Mi: "It seems so. I vomited less these two days. What's wrong? Why do you think of asking this?"

Da Mi scratched his head and did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Aunt, do you still have the dried sea cucumbers you took out earlier? If you do, can you give me some more?"

After saying this, he stared at Yin Xiaoman's face without blinking, observing her very carefully.

It seemed as if he wanted to see from her face what expression she would have when she heard these words.

You should know that the first time Yin Xiaoman started to have morning sickness was because she saw the soaked sea cucumber.

Sure enough, when Yin Xiaoman heard him mention sea cucumber, he instinctively felt uncomfortable in his stomach. But this time I didn't feel like vomiting, but just felt physiologically disgusted by its appearance.

She rubbed her stomach. “What do you want that for?”

Da Mi had been observing her expression and when he saw that she really had no intention of vomiting, he immediately grinned as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Yin Xiaoman didn't expect that a sea cucumber could make the child so happy. Although he still didn't know what he was going to do, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

She didn't say anything else, but walked over and touched Da Mi's head, then walked into the inner room.

Last time, Monitor Zhou had some sea cucumbers soaked in rice. She gave them all to Lichun despite feeling nauseous, and also taught her the soaking method.

To express his gratitude, Lichun gave her a big box of dried fruits, which must have contained more than a hundred of them.

Although she was impatient to see this thing, she also remembered what squad leader Zhou said and knew it was good, so she did not refuse.

It is still in her space.

She walked around the room, then took out ten from the space and handed them to Da Mi.

"Soak more, and prepare a special meal for Mr. Hua and Mr. Ning when you cook."

Although Da Mi didn't say anything, she had already figured it out when she took it. What could the child want with it? He must want to cook it for people to eat.

No matter who he gives it to, it will eventually belong to these people in the family, so why should she be reluctant?

If it weren't for the hot and humid weather on the island, she wouldn't be able to soak too much at once, otherwise there would be no way to store it. She wished she could take out a few more.

Although the expert group had enough food rations, no one took their food. But today's lunch has already shown that they are also voluntarily and consciously reducing their food intake.

Yin Xiaoman can't take care of other people, but she has to take care of Mr. Hua and Engineer Ning.

Not to mention that the two elderly people are the backbone of the entire expert group. If they really get sick, people's hearts will be scattered; from a personal emotional point of view, she can't bear to see these two elders suffer.

Anyway, the food she used for her special meal was her own and she didn't take advantage of the public funds, so she had a clear conscience.

The rice she was thinking of didn't know, but when the children saw her take out so much at once, they immediately became happy.

When I am happy, I talk more than usual.

"Team Leader Zhou said that this sea cucumber is especially suitable for pregnant women. He wanted to cook it for you, but you kept vomiting. He couldn't bear to see it, and he felt very sorry.

Before leaving, she taught me several ways to cook sea cucumbers. Aunt, if you don't vomit, I will cook millet and sea cucumber porridge for you tonight.

Squad Leader Zhou said, this is a special supplement! ”

Yin Xiaoman didn't expect Da Mi to say such a thing, and was stunned for a moment.

After Da Mi finished speaking, he seemed a little embarrassed. He rubbed his nose, grabbed the sea cucumber she handed over, and turned away.

"I'll go soak them."

Hearing him say this, Yin Xiaoman hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute, I'll go too."

Da Mi stopped and looked rejected. The two children who heard her say this were also unhappy and came over to stop her: "Mom, my dad said that you can't go out."

"If you don't go out for a walk, you'll feel terrified! I'm fine now, it's okay." Yin Xiaoman reached out and stroked the heads of the two children who were grabbing the corners of his clothes, and comforted them.

"But……"

"Oh, stop talking. Let's go now while the rain is a little lighter. If it rains harder, we won't be able to go out."

Yin Xiaoman didn't give them a chance to speak and turned around to change her clothes.

Seeing them following again, he could only add helplessly: "Alright, alright, all of you follow, all of you follow, isn't this enough? Do you really think your mother is made of clay?!"

After hearing what she said, the three children looked at each other and had no choice but to agree.

They also knew Yin Xiaoman's temper. If they really went against her and made her angry, she would get angry.

And she was angry, and even her father's return couldn't stop her.

So, the three children were very fast. Before Yin Xiaoman had even changed her clothes, the three of them had already put on straw hats, changed into rain boots, and were standing under the eaves of the house at the edge of the yard waiting for her.

Although the rainy season on the island lasts long, there is no guarantee that everyone in the family will have rain gear. For example, I only had one raincoat, and the oil-paper umbrella was too heavy and too big to be carried to the beach.

So the three children only wore straw hats and put on a pair of rubber shoes that Yin Xiaoman had specially bought for each of them.

A group of three, one adult and three children, walked towards the beach behind the mountain in the rain.

The reason why Yin Xiaoman insisted on going out in the rain was not to find food, but because she really couldn't think of any place to store food, so she had to go out for a walk.

She had previously thought of storing the earliest rice in the cave on the mountain overnight, but it was not very feasible.

Firstly, she had no chance to escape everyone's eyes and run to the mountain by herself. Secondly, the cave was too small. Even a small person like Da Mi who was inside was soaked by the rain. There was no way to fit so much food.

In her memory, the area behind the mountain was rocky and few people went there. If one wanted to find a less noticeable place on the island, there was no other place but there.

Several children protected Yin Xiaoman like a treasure.

Fortunately, the rain was lighter now and the wind was not as strong as before, so the few people walked smoothly to the big rock where the cans were placed before.

Da Mi climbed up the stone with ease.

This is the first time for Dabao and Erniu to come here, and also the first time to see their brother soaking sea cucumbers.

The two of them were eager to try and climb up the stone.

Although the stone was high, it was not difficult to climb up because there were several stones of different heights nearby for tiptoeing.

"Take them upstairs." Seeing how excited the two children were, Yin Xiaoman didn't hold them back and said to Dami.

Hearing their mother’s agreement, the two children immediately jumped with joy and climbed towards the big rock.

Da Mi stood on it and looked at Yin Xiaoman with some concern: "Aunt, don't run around, just stand there and don't move."

Yin Xiaoman almost laughed out loud.

"Alright, alright, I'm an adult now, how can I not be careful? Keep an eye on my younger brother and sister, don't let them fall, I'll just walk around here, not far away."

As she spoke, she walked towards the stone, in the direction that was out of sight of Da Mi and the others.

She wanted to take a walk downstairs while the children were away.

She had been here before, more than once, so she was quite familiar with it. She remembered that there was a bush on the rocky beach about a few dozen meters behind the big rock.

It's relatively remote over there, but it's not hard to find. Yin Xiaoman wanted to go and take a look. If there was an open space inside, she would unload the grain there.

As for what the people on the island would think when they suddenly saw a pile of food, to be honest, she couldn't care less at the moment.

Anyway, don't think about her when the time comes, think whatever you want.

Being able to fill your stomach and not get into trouble is more important than anything else.

Thinking this, she walked towards the bushes carefully.

The shrubs by the sea never grow tall. It's more like a pile of tall weeds than a forest.

Although there was a lot of mud on the ground and it was a bit slippery, fortunately there was no steep slope, so she could still walk through it if she was careful.

Pushing aside the grass, Yin Xiaoman walked towards the depths of the woods.

The more I walked, the more disappointed I became.

Before she came here, she hadn't imagined that the terrain of the forest was so low. Because it had been raining for so many days, the water on the ground was ankle-deep.

When people walked inside, their feet made a rustling sound.

How can food be stored in a place like this?

As soon as it was put down, it was contaminated by dirty water.

Not to mention the pollution, if they are just left here, no one will believe that these foods were originally on the island.

Just when Yin Xiaoman was about to leave in disappointment, his eyes were attracted by the stone wall not far to the right.

This bush is also next to the foot of the mountain. After so many days of heavy rain and strong wind, it has been knocked all over the place. At the same time, some unstable rocks on the mountain also slid down.

On the right side, Yin Xiaoman saw a piece of open space created by rubble.

The open space was not big enough to store so much food, so she didn't pay attention to it before.

But when she turned around, she found that because the bushes were crushed by the rocks, a hole that was previously covered by weeds was faintly revealed.

This was something she had never seen in this place before.

She held onto the bushes and moved forward little by little.

She took off her raincoat and hat, not caring about getting wet by the rain, and squatted down to take a closer look.

This sight immediately made her overjoyed!

She discovered that there was a cave near the stone wall. There was a stone blocking the outside, and bushes grew around the stone, blocking the entrance of the cave.

Now, the bushes were broken and half of the hole was exposed.

Yin Xiaoman pushed the stone hard.

She was also lucky. After so many days of rain, the soil outside the cave had already become extremely soft. The stone that she had originally been unable to push was actually pushed to the side by her.

She leaned in and looked inside.

It was too dark in the cave to see clearly, but even as she looked far away, she couldn't see the innermost stone wall.

She lay on the ground and looked up as far as she could toward the top of the cave. Again, she could not see the stone wall above.

This means that no matter whether the hole is deep enough, at least it is high enough to hold a lot of things.

Yin Xiaoman's heart was pounding with excitement.

She wanted to take another look at the bottom of the cave to see if it was also full of water like outside.

But there was a stone blocking her view, and no matter how she changed the angle she couldn't see. She gave up after trying a few times.

Anyway, she has figured it out now, so she is not afraid even if there is some water accumulation underneath. Because she won't leave the food in there for too long. At worst, you just need to be careful when moving it and put flour and things that are afraid of soaking on the upper layer.

After watching it, Yin Xiaoman didn’t dare to stay any longer and carefully returned to the big rock.

At this moment, the three children on the stone have not come down yet. The two children's excited voices could be heard from a long distance away.

She stayed under the stone for a while before the three of them jumped down one after another.

When he saw her, Da Mi's eyes were obviously much more relaxed.

"Aunt, I just brought back some abalone. How about I use it to make millet porridge for you tonight? Squad Leader Zhou told me that if we add more ginger, the smell can be suppressed. Besides, you have been out in the rain for such a long time, it is good for you to eat some ginger."

Yin Xiaoman smiled and looked at the child standing in front of him, who looked very mature and spoke like an adult. He raised his chin towards Da Mi and said, "Come here."

"What are you doing?" The child immediately stopped in his tracks alertly and even took a step back.

"I told you to come here!" Yin Xiaoman glared at him.

"Mom is calling you, brother. Go over there and don't make my mom angry." Erniu reached out and poked Da Mi on the back. Her little finger obviously used force, causing Da Mi to hiss.

He walked towards Yin Xiaoman reluctantly.

Yin Xiaoman stood on tiptoe and rubbed Da Mi's head hard, making his wet hair a mess.

After massaging, he sighed and said, "Why are all the children I raised so well-behaved? They all know how to care for others. Hey, Da Mi, why don't you stop calling me auntie and follow Da Bao and the others in calling me mom? Why do I feel like there's no difference between you and me?"

Da Mi's face turned red from being stroked by her. If he hadn't been afraid that she would slip, he would have jumped away the moment her hand reached out to him.

He gritted his teeth and let Yin Xiaoman stroke him for a long time. Then he heard her say this. He suddenly made a sound and jumped to the side.

"I knew it! I knew it!" He gritted his teeth in frustration.

Yin Xiaoman stood aside and laughed.

"Follow us and call mom! Brother, you will have to call mom too from now on!"

Erniu didn't notice that Da Mi Ge was unhappy at the moment. When she heard what her mother said, she immediately became happy. He ran over excitedly and hugged Da Mi, jumping up and down with his heart beating fast.

Dabao on the side didn't say anything, just grinned, obviously looking like he was laughing at his brother Dami.

Hearing Erniu say this, Dami looked annoyed, but the area behind his ears slowly began to turn red.

He glared at Yin Xiaoman and said, "How old are you and you want to be my mother? Can you give birth to a son as old as me?!"

These words made Yin Xiaoman unable to hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

She hadn't laughed like this in a long time. Although the little guy retorted to her, she felt extremely comfortable at this moment.

This kid, Dami, has grown rapidly in the past six months.

Yin Xiaoman remembered that he was about the same height as herself.

But it had only been a short while since she last noticed, and the boy was already obviously more than half a head taller than her.

Now if you want to hit him on the head, you have to stand on tiptoe.

The most important thing is that this guy now completely regards himself as an adult, and speaks and acts very calmly.

When I showed affection to him before, he would blush like Dabao and pretend not to care, but I could feel that he was happy in his heart.

And now, whenever he made a move to treat him and the other two children equally, he always ran faster than a rabbit.

Normally, Yin Xiaoman doesn't recruit him.

As for boys, it is understandable that they want to grow up earlier.

But Da Mi's actions during this period really made her feel so warm in her heart. The feeling of being cared for at all times made her want to hug the child every minute.

So, when she heard what he just said, she really couldn't hold it in any longer, and wanted to call the boy over to have some fun with him, and take advantage of the opportunity to talk to him.

Although she spoke from her heart, it was expected that she would be criticized by the little guy.

Seeing his look, Yin Xiaoman felt that her mood was extremely good at the moment, and she was so happy that even the rain was nothing to her.

After returning home, Da Mi quickly prepared a bowl of steaming millet porridge and brought it to Yin Xiaoman.

Maybe because she was in a good mood, her appetite also improved. She actually drank all the porridge with abalone without feeling like vomiting at all.

Even vaguely, I still feel that it is not enough.

She wanted to cook more rice for them to eat, but after thinking it over, she swallowed the words back.

"Cook more and send them to Mr. Hua and Engineer Ning. Remember to separate them. If they ask, tell them it is a gift from me and tell them to eat it." Yin Xiaoman instructed about the rice.

Rice nodded.

As a result, not long after the porridge was delivered, Mr. Hua rushed to their house in the rain.

The old man didn't give Yin Xiaoman any face at all. He had a gloomy face when he entered the room. After he drove all the children out and left only the two of them in the room, the old man immediately got angry and yelled at her, "Nonsense!"

Of course Yin Xiaoman knew what the old man was referring to. This must be because he knew that he had handed over the grain. She had learned her lesson now and did not explain. Instead, she went into the house and took out the bag of millet.

But the bag she showed to Mr. Hua was different from the one she showed to others.

Before, for fear of arousing suspicion from her family, she only took out half a bag of millet. But now, for fear that Mr. Hua would not want to eat it, she took out a whole bag!

When he saw her take out such a bag of millet at once, Mr. Hua was so scared that he jumped up from his chair.

Yin Xiaoman didn't expect that he could still be so agile at such an old age.

"Where did you get it?" Mr. Hua ran to the door and locked the living room door.

Even though he knew there were no outsiders, he still lowered his voice and asked in surprise.

"I saved it before." Yin Xiaoman repeated to Mr. Hua what he had said to the man before.

She had said it so many times that all the loopholes she could think of had been filled in, to the point that now even she herself was almost beginning to believe it.

"You are really thoughtful!"

After hearing her say this, the worry on Mr. Hua's face finally disappeared a little, and he looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

But after saying that, he still shook his head: "Keep these for yourself. Not to mention that the island is short of food now, even if the supply ship arrives, it is impossible to get so much millet in a short time.

This thing is nourishing, you should keep it and eat it slowly. You are a double now, so you can't be careless. Nutrition cannot be lacking. ”

Knowing that he was going to say that, Yin Xiaoman had already thought of the wording.

She took out the sea cucumber she had prepared earlier and showed it to Mr. Hua: "I also have this. This thing is also very nourishing. With these two things combined, don't worry, uncle, I won't suffer any harm. But you guys..."

As Yin Xiaoman spoke, his tone became serious.

"Uncle, no one knows better than you why we came to this island. Whether it's our family or the hundreds of people on the island, everyone's purpose is to protect you and support your work.

Your expert group is our support, and you and Mr. Ning are the backbone of the expert group.

Uncle, as long as nothing happens to you, there will be no chaos on this island. But if you, Mr. Ning, or any other member of the expert group, loses health due to lack of food, what will be the meaning of our existence?

So, no matter what others say, you must understand in your heart and not confuse the primary and secondary. There must be a way to solve the food shortage problem. Even if you don’t believe me, believe Qingyun for once. He is not a random person.

He said that he would guarantee your food, so you should obey him. Now is not the time for you to help and love each other.

Your expert team is healthy and safe, which is a blessing for us on the island. ”

Old Hua didn't expect that he was originally planning to scold his niece, but ended up being scolded by her instead.

He had never expected that this girl could remain so calm when everyone was so anxious.

The mind is still so clear.

He actually hit the nail on the head and got to the very root of the matter.

This is something I actually understand in my heart, but in this world I dare not think about it too much.

He was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I was thinking wrongly. I always thought..."

He didn't finish his words, but changed the subject directly, sighing: "Xiao Man, you are very good. Your uncle didn't expect that you are so smart, just like your father. I think even if he is in the underworld, seeing you like this now, he should be relieved."

When Yin Xiaoman heard about his original father, he felt uncomfortable.

Although the father had passed away when she came into this world, all his previous considerations and preparations were planned for his daughter.

But in the end, it is yourself who benefits from those things.

In Yin Xiaoman's heart, the original body was a poor girl. Maybe it was just bad luck. Even though her father had made so many preparations for her, he couldn't save her life in the end.

And now, I have inherited everything they left behind - their bodies, property and even their loved ones.

Then all she could do was to live well for her original body and live a complete life for her.

At the same time, we must respect the elderly.

Since the only relative she could find now was Old Hua, she had to take good care of him on behalf of her original self and not leave any regrets.

Seeing Yin Xiaoman lowering her head, Mr. Hua thought that what he said had hurt his niece and reminded her of her father, so he quickly changed the subject again.

"Xiao Man, I came to see you today for another thing. I want to give you this."

As he spoke, he pulled out a small jewelry bag made of red velvet from his pocket and handed it to her.

It was obvious that the bag had been stored for many years. The color had turned dark and the velvet on the outside had been worn out in several places.

"What is this?" Yin Xiaoman looked over curiously.

"Open it and take a look." Old General Hua pushed the bag towards her again.

Yin Xiaoman picked up the bag and opened it, then saw a emerald green statue of Guanyin Buddha inside.

The Buddha statue is not big, but it is full of water and green. Holding it in your hand is like holding a pool of green lake water.

It’s not like she had never seen good things in her previous life.

But she had only seen such jade on a few masters. This is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"Uncle, I can't accept this." She panicked and quickly pushed the thing back.

Mr. Hua sighed and pushed the thing back to her: "Take it. This thing was worth a few dollars in the past, but now it is not only worthless, but keeping it may also bring disaster.

If it were in the past, I would not have dared to give it to you. But on the island, as long as you keep it safe, we are here and will definitely not let anything get into trouble. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the jewelry bag, his eyes filled with deep attachment.

"This is your aunt's thing. We thought about having children back then. In order to have an offspring, your aunt tried every possible way. This Guanyin was brought to the temple and blessed. She carried it with her for many years."
